128. A telegram
Erhu accompanied Fujii Shou in the front hall and muttered, Fujii Shou rarely talked to him, he held his own identity, he only needed to call Ge Sanye a brother and brother, and he couldn't get along too well with his subordinates. Erhu didn't want to have much to do with him, and it was already a great concession to cooperate patiently, and now the two of them were in the same room, neither of them said a word, and they didn't even have the sound of drinking water and tea.
Ge Sanye went for a long time before coming back, as if he had been delayed by that batch of goods for a little half of the night, and when he saw Fujii Shou still there, he was taken aback and blamed Erhu: "Why don't you arrange a place for the head of the agency?" β
Fujii Shou stood still in his chair, and did not immediately get up and politely excuse himself, apparently preparing to stay here for the night.
"If the head of the organ doesn't like Xingyi Hall is shabby, please come with me." He reluctantly spoke, and when he got up, he felt that the water he had just drunk was swaying.
"Mr. Ge's batch of goods was intercepted by bandits?" Fujii Shou finally spoke, his tone cold, "Who is so bold?" Shanxi has our military division headquarters, please Mr. Ge tell me, I will settle this trouble for you. β
"Thank you, Director. It's not our goods, it's a friend's goods, as you know, Xingyitang was the first to start a business and rely on friends, and now that a friend comes to the door, you have to reach out to help with this. Ge Sanye laughed and bowed his hand to Fujii Shou, "That merchant is now in the backyard guest room, and the head of the agency wants to meet him?" β
Fujii Shou looked at Ge Sanye, who had the same expression, looking back with a smile, not even a single hair on his face.
"What kind of bandits?" Fujii Shou asked again.
"The black cloud village on the Taihang Mountain in the northwest of Shanxi Province, the flower number of the master is called the lynx." Ge Sanye replied, "The friend of the robbery is called Yuan Qing'an, a Hui businessman, who went to the northwest of Shanxi to collect charcoal. β
Fujii Shou nodded: "These bandits, I will settle for Mr. Ge." β
Ge Sanye thanked him for his kindness and asked again: "Does the head of the organ want to meet this Yuan Qing'an?" β
"No need." Fujii Shoudao, "I'm in the same room as Mr. Ge, and I still have some things I want to ask. β
Ge Sanye knew that Fujii Shou wanted to watch himself, so as not to change before he acted. But now, all the changes that should have happened have happened, and it is the same whether to stare at it or not, so I gladly agreed. The two walked to the inner courtyard together, and when they passed by the guest room, Ge Sanye knocked on the door to see the "Yuan Qing'an", comforted him a few words, and said, "I have asked the Japanese Imperial Army, they will deal with those bandits and bring your goods out safe and sound." β
Fujii Shou heard the sound of the man crying bitterly outside the door, and he choked up and said words of gratitude, feeling very satisfied. He didn't enter the door, and Ge Sanye didn't mention that he was outside, and after appeasing Yuan Qing'an, he exited the guest room, covered the door, and smiled at Fujii Shou: "He is especially grateful for the great kindness of the head of the agency." β
Fujii Shou nodded lightly, his expression arrogant. Ge Sanye ordered someone to move a collapse into the room and arranged for Fujii Shou to sleep in his own bed. He fell asleep quickly, and when Fujii Shou was still tossing and turning, he was already snoring on the couch.
His relaxed state infected Fujii Shou, who closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep. But his hanging heart has not been put down, the slightest movement at night will wake him up, and even when Ge Sanye stops shouting because he has turned over, he will get up and take a look.
The soldiers of the secret service have been ambushed inside and outside the teahouse in advance according to Fujii Shou's requirements, and Ge Sanye's people were also in place one night ago.
There was just an episode, in the middle of the night, in the office of the consulate Fujii Shou, the phone rang several times, and finally a Chinese woman came running in person, saying that there was something important and asked to meet Fujii Shou. But in the middle of the night, who will stay in the office? Moreover, everyone knows that Fujii Shou easily did not want to deal with the Chinese, so the porter simply bombarded the woman away without even asking her name.
Fujii Tobuki departs from Kogido and heads to the agreed place. Together with Ge Sanye, he waited on the second floor of a rice paper shop opposite the teahouse. The people of Xingyitang have already set up this shop, and it seems that it is open as usual, but in fact, it does not accept outsiders.
At half past ten in the morning, Tan Jing appeared at the end of the street, he had come by himself, looking dull and haggard, carrying a bag in his hand.
Fujii Shou saw the bag through the window, his eyes lit up, and he said in Japanese: "Yes, that's it, the Chinese really can't be trusted, he betrayed the emperor!" β
Ge Sanye didn't speak, and he didn't know if he understood, he was still drinking tea quietly. At the top of the stairs on the second floor, there were two Japanese military policemen with loaded guns, and on the first floor, the people dressed as ordinary scholars were the people of Xingyitang, all of whom were also carrying guns. Erhu appeared earlier than Tan Jing, but he didn't show up, and it was too late for him to go upstairs and sit down and order tea.
Tan Jing looked at the erhu and smiled imperceptibly.
"Are you satisfied with my sincerity?" The erhu opened their mouth first, and there was a bug under their table, and the other end of the bug was in the rice paper shop opposite.
"It's a pleasure to work with." "I hope you're as reliable as the well rope." β
Erhu nodded slightly. The teahouse is now full of customers, and the ladies and ladies who are shopping, the businessmen who are talking about things, and some idle people are scattered around the various tables. As it approached eleven o'clock, the shops on this street were ready to open, and the customers gradually poured into the shops, and the people of Xingyitang sat in each shop to disperse the visitors, but they could not be too clean so as not to arouse suspicion in the talks.
Most of the Japanese military police on the second floor of the teahouse did not wear military uniforms, dressed as citizens, and were distributed around Tan Jing in twos and threes. There were also a few strange guests, but the second floor of the entire teahouse was all men.
"Now it's your turn." Erhu opened his mouth and blinked his eyes lightly at the same time.
Tan Jing gently placed the bag on the table and pushed it to the erhu: "Japan is ready to march south," he said softly, "and their appetite does not stop at China." β
When Fujii Shou heard this, he gently slapped the table: "Long live the Emperor!" β
Erhu opened the bag and took out the contents of it, a stack of documents, using the paper used to receive and receive telegrams, across the street, Fujii Shou couldn't read the words on it at all, but saw the smile on Erhu's face.
Soon, the two of them got up and shook hands across the table. Fujii Shou put his hand on the window frame at this time, and suddenly scattered a handful of torn rice paper out of the window, which was the code to start the action, and the eavesdropper completely recorded the conversation between Tan Jing and Erhu, the bag has been received by Erhu, and the human and material evidence are there, this time, Tan Jing can not clear his own charge even if he uses the kung fu of the Eight Immortals to cross the sea.
The gendarmes on the second floor got up one after another, drew their guns, and pressed Tan Jing down on the table, twisting his hands behind his back and handcuffing him. Fujii Shou excitedly came down from the second floor of the rice paper shop and rushed to the teahouse, ready to shake his majesty in front of the talk. He was so anxious that he didn't even notice that when he went downstairs, Ge Sanye was still steadily sucking tea from his small teapot on the chair.
Fujii Shou rushed into the teahouse and rushed to the second floor. Tan Jing was pressed on the table, and Erhu stood in the aisle, and in his vacated seat, a person, a woman, was sitting.
Sukawa Shun.
She didn't wear a kimono today, as if she had changed her face, and she didn't recognize it at all in the minute that Fujii Shou rushed to the second floor of the teahouse.
"Long time no see, Fujii-kun." She greeted him in Japanese, smiling and bowing her head slightly, "It's a good day today, and it's refreshing." β
Fujii Shou froze in place, and he saw that the bag that Tan Jing handed over to Erhu was now in Sukawa Shun's hand, and the contents were spread out and covered half of the tableβhow could there be any confidential messages? It's full of scarlet sentences and signatures from the shrine.γ
"My secretary, Ms. Ono's mother, was very worried about her daughter who was far away from the ocean, so she always went to the temple to ask for the help of the shrine maiden, and every time she asked for a lot, she would send it to her daughter by telegram."
Qi Chuan Xun looked at those signatures, his smile was warm and soft, as if he was not talking about someone else's mother, but his own: "Although it occupies the resources of the empire, who can bear to refuse a mother's small wish?" β
She handed one of the pieces of paper to Fujii Shou: "You look at one, this signature prophesied a very bad thing, so the old lady hurriedly passed it over and warned her daughter to be careful, she was in a guest country thousands of miles away from home, and she must protect herself." β
Fujii Shou saw the date on the telegram, and received the news yesterday at 4:28 p.m. At that time, he was personally arranging the armed forces on the streets of the teahouse.
He suddenly felt a pang of despair.
