Erhu has a photo of the competition, which was taken after he became the president of the China-Japan Co-Prosperity Association, which can almost be called a photo of "rebirth". He is pictured in a well-cut suit, with a golden-yellow pocket watch chain hanging from the edge of his pocket, which even in black and white gives a sense of the high price of the pocket watch.

After Tan Jing left, a man in a reddish-brown silk shirt took his place in front of the erhu and moved the teacup used by Tan Jing to the end of the table, asking the waiter to replace it with a new one.

"I'm guessing you're gone." The man said, "He walked away with a smile, and you had a straight face." ”

"Third Master," the pretended profound expression on Erhu's face disappeared, replaced by a bitter look, "I can't, I can't do this kind of thing, I can't tell the truth from every word he says." ”

"Don't tell, just remember." The man known as the Third Master smiled slowly, his open neckline revealing a copper-colored collarbone, and a centipede-like wound snaked on his collarbone, the centipede crawled out from under his clothes and poked under his throat, a memento of his escape, "Repeat what he said." ”

When Erhu and Tanjing met, the third master was sitting in the same teahouse. But he sat far away and couldn't hear the conversation between the two at all. But it doesn't matter, every word that Tan Jing said was memorized by Erhu, and he was repeating it to him word by word at the moment.

"No. 121 Binmus Road," the third master repeated the address on one side, holding the teacup in his left hand and unconsciously fiddling with a large and shiny string of beads with his right hand, "This is a fake station that we have made with the well rope." ”

"Now it's true," Erhu reminded him, "and it's also Inorope's idea, saying that the most dangerous places are often the safest, and the Japanese certainly can't imagine that we will come back where they just searched." ”

"He said he copied it? The fake station of the well rope was made for him? The third master hesitated, glaring at him at the same time, "Why didn't you take the opportunity to ask him a few more words?" ”

"I'm afraid of talking too much, I'm not suitable for this." Erhu had a bitter face, and rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, revealing two lean little arms, the muscles on the arms were knotted, and the green tendons were bulging, it was a pair of arms that relied on hard work to change food, "He looked calm, not afraid of being discovered or caught at all, swaggering, swaggering." ”

"You're saying he's not good enough to be a thief?" The third master frowned, "He doesn't believe that you are the Yan'an underground party?" ”

"I don't believe it nine times out of ten," Erhu said, "I told him two pieces of news, but he was not satisfied, and I didn't trust him at all." ”

"Don't say that in front of Fujii Shou," the third master warned, "you have to tell him that Tan Jing trusts us very much, and has already agreed on the next meeting." ”

"Is there another time we'll meet?" Erhu's expression was as if someone had just been stuffed with a handful of coptis, "I pretended to be a ghost for a long time, and in the end I didn't give anything valuable, if I talk about competition, I won't come back a second time...... How do you say he knows those things? I didn't hear our password was leaked. ”

"It's me who underestimated this traitor," the third master said, "Although they are all lackeys, there is obviously a difference between dogs and dogs." Ask him again and put some large erbium on him, we must catch this fish...... The reward that Fujii Shou promised us could buy the life of this traitor several times. ”

Big bait, how big a bait is to catch this big fish. Legend has it that Tan Jing's eyes and ears are all over every street and alley of the seaside, and as long as he wants, then he can know everything from the municipal temple to the streets and alleys. Fujii Shou said that he cooperated with the underground party Jingsheng in Yan'an, but such a person still needs to cooperate with the enemy?

They left the teahouse one after another, and the military ticket left by Tan Jing was used to pay the bill, and the excess change was put into the pocket of the third master. The two walked along the bustling streets, through the wet market, into one of the few high-threshold buildings on the docks, where a man in a long shirt was sitting on the patio drinking tea, his hat brim lowered to block his eyes. In the hall behind him hangs a flat with the words "Righteousness and Thin Clouds" written in strong calligraphy.

"I thought I would write for the heavens." The tea drinker put the tea cup on the tall wooden table next to him, and laughed at the two people who had just entered the door. He spoke with a stiff accent and wore a kaftan out of his military uniform, "I hope you have brought me satisfactory news." ”

"We brought it." The erhu paused without a trace when he crossed the threshold, and the third master walked ahead, and the people in the courtyard stopped their work one after another and nodded to him: "Third master." ”

The third master beckoned to them kindly, and at the same time sent an invitation to the people in the patio: "Let's talk in the house." ”

The man got up in a good way and followed him into the inner chamber. Erhu closed the door and forked his hands to the side. The tea-drinker took off his hat, revealing Fujii Shou's eyebrows, he sat in the hall with the main seat, a tiger roaring deep in the mountains behind him, and he was wearing the "Righteous Bo Yuntian" plaque on his head.

The third master sat down under him, and when he sat down, he unbuttoned the two cloth buttons on the silk shirt, and at the same time picked up a blow pot, and took a sip of the tea in it: "Second brother, come and tell the director about today's affairs." ”

The rhetoric has been designed a long time ago, three points true and seven points false, which coaxed Fujii Shou into a smile.

"I knew that there was nothing wrong with looking for Third Master Ge." He gave a thumbs up to the two, "You are my good friends, and you are also good friends of the Great Japanese Empire, and the Empire will not forget their contributions." ”

Ge Sanye put down the pot and arched a rather elegant hand at Fujii Shou: "It's also an honor to be able to help the head of the upper organ." ”

After some hypocritical praise, Fujii Shou looked even more emotional, his nose glowed bright red, he took out a voucher from the placket of his clothes, and handed it to Ge Sanye: "Be careful, please smile." ”

It was a license for "Xingya Good Businessman", with the name seal and autograph of the negotiation competition underneath.

"With this license, your fleet can go up the river to Chongqing." Fujii Toshimichi, "I wish you a good business." ”

Ge Sanye looked up to the sky and laughed. Fujii Shou doesn't want money, as long as he talks about Jing's life, which is not a problem for the second master of Xingyitang, he only needs to send a coolie to pull a rickshaw to deliver this life to Fujii Shou, but he doesn't want such a life.

"I want to prove his identity as an underground party, and prove his crime of betraying the empire under the protection of Sukawa Shun." At their first meeting, Fujii Shou said to Ge Sanye, "The friend who introduced me said that you can do anything, and you can do anything on the territory of the seaside. ”

"That's a friend from the rivers and lakes who lifted me." At that time, their positions happened to drop, and Ge Sanye sat in the position where Fujii Shou was now sitting, and Fujii Shou was sitting on his right hand. He was playing with a bamboo talisman in his hand, which was brought by Fujii Shou, and this bamboo talisman represented a transaction, and the person holding the talisman could make any request to Ge Sanye without being refused, but he had to pay the price he proposed.

Ge Sanye once sent ten such bamboo talismans, but none of them were sent to the Japanese, he asked Fujii Shou about the origin of this bamboo talisman, but the latter was silent, only said that a respected elder in the family left him, and now that the elder has died, he wants to use this bamboo talisman to avenge the deceased.

The price of a life was a pass from the Japanese side, which allowed his merchant ships to pass through the checkpoints set up by the Japanese army along the river and sell goods to unoccupied places. The holder of the license has to pay a certain percentage of the heavy tax to the Japanese side in accordance with the regulations, and Fujii Shou can get the license, but he is powerless in taxes, but Ge Sanye said that it is very fair to exchange a life for a license, and he will not ask for additional compensation.

A plan was drawn up, and Ge Sanye sent someone to pretend to be the Yan'an underground party, according to the clues provided by Fujii Shou to lure Tan Jing, and when he came to make a deal with the information stolen from the consulate, Fujii Shou took the military police to descend from the sky and seize the stolen goods.

"There is a senior undercover agent in Yan'an, codenamed Zhongsheng." Fujii Shou said, "But he hasn't been heard from for a long time, probably he has died in a corner, if I can, I want to prove that Tan Jing is this undercover bell, and he is the liaison between Sukawa and Yan'an." ”
