Xi'an, No. 10 Duanlumen Street, the office building of the Party Affairs Steering Committee of Chang'an County, Kuomintang.

The winter sun shines through the windows into the spacious office, adding a bit of warmth to the room.

The office is decorated in a Western style with a charcoal fire in the fireplace.

Liao Mengyan sat behind a large desk, looking at documents.

He frowned at times, looked angry, but eventually turned into a sigh.

It's a chaotic situation!

Three months ago, Japan's Kwantung Army launched the September 18 Incident that shocked China and the rest of the world, and the government's policy of non-resistance caused the people to complain everywhere, the voices of the crusade against the government became louder and louder, and demonstrations became more and more frequent. In Xi'an alone, more than a dozen demonstrations took place in a short period of time, and the impact was extremely bad. And those idiots in the party department turned a blind eye to this.

Liao Mengyan's heart was equally angry and helpless.

He could not disobey the orders of the Central Committee. But seeing the fall of the three eastern provinces, as a Chinese, how could he not feel angry in his heart, and how could he be indifferent? However, there is no way.

Tuk tuk!

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Liao Mengyan didn't raise his head, and said in a deep voice.

The door was pushed open, and a young man in military uniform walked in from the outside.

After he entered the house, he took off his hat, put it under his armpit, and stood up and saluted: "Report to the chief, Li Tongsheng has come to report." ”

Liao Mengyan raised his head, smiled, and stood up at the same time.

"Kiryu, when did you come back? It must have been hard work along the way. ”

"It's not hard to report to the sir. This time, on the orders of the chief, the leader of the ** was successfully captured from Baotou, and he came to report to the chief. ”

Li Tongsheng stood straight and said loudly.

Liao Mengyan couldn't help but smile, and beckoned Li Tongsheng to sit down, "This mission has been completed very well, I have read the telegram from the Baotou Party Department, and they are very praising you, worthy of the pillars of the party and the state." ”

Li Tongsheng's face also showed a smile.

"This time, thanks to the assistance of the brothers from the Baotou Party Department, the ** leader was cunning and almost let him escape.

Sir, what's next? ”

The smile on Liao Mengyan's face suddenly disappeared, and after hesitating for a moment, he got up from the sofa, walked to the desk, picked up a telegram and walked over, handed it to Li Tongsheng and said, "This is the telegram I just received from Nanjing. ”

Li Tongsheng was stunned for a moment, took the telegram, and swept it at a glance, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.

"Kiryu, I know you're wronged, but this is an order from headquarters.

As you know, Jiangxi is not effective in suppressing bandits, and the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee is under great pressure, so it also needs to have some ...... Nanjing's meaning is to escort the ** leader to Nanjing next, and a special person will be responsible for interrogation.

Don't think anything in your heart, you will not be less credited, I can assure you. ”

As soon as Li Tongsheng made a great contribution in Baotou, he was picked with peaches.

Liao Mengyan was also very angry in his heart, but he couldn't stop it. He could only be comforted gently, hoping that Li Tongsheng would not have a mustard. After all, Li Tongsheng is not only his favorite general, but also an old party member. When it comes to party age, Li Tongsheng's party age is even longer than him, and Liao Mengyan doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.

Li Tongsheng's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

After a long time, he stood up and said, "Since it is the decision of the headquarters, Kiryu is willing to obey." ”

"Hahaha, I knew that Kiryu knew the general situation.

The chairman of the committee is very satisfied with your assignment and is ready to commend you. It is better to hand them over so that you don't get into trouble. ** are all hard bones, and if the interrogation does not produce results, it is they who are disgraced. In short, no one can take away your credit, Principal Dai specially called, let me comfort you. ”

"I'm fine."

Liao Mengyan nodded and motioned for Li Tongsheng to sit down.

He got up again, picked up a telegram from his desk, turned around and said, "Kiryu, I remember that you are from Henan?" ”

"Yes, my ancestral home is Wuzhi County, Henan."

"Wuzhi County, it shouldn't be far from Qi County."

Li Tongsheng showed a puzzled expression and said, "Wuzhi County to Qi County? It's about 100 kilometers, but it's not too far...... However, I left home at the age of 12 and never went back. ”

"Is there anyone else at home?"

Li Tongsheng smiled bitterly: "No one, all dead!" In the eleventh year of the Republic of China, there was a famine in his hometown, and then a plague broke out, and everyone in his family died...... Why are you suddenly asking about these things? ”

Liao Mengyan thought about it, walked over and handed the telegram in his hand to Li Tongsheng.

Li Tongsheng glanced at it, raised his head and said, "Hai Hona? Foreigner? ”

"I don't know!"

Liao Mengyan said helplessly: "The headquarters only said that I should send someone to Qi County to pick up such a person, and I don't know much about the specific situation." However, according to the information I inquired, this person is not simple. ”

"What do you mean?"

Liao Mengyan got up, poured a glass of water for Li Tongsheng, and then sat down and said: "About three months ago, Nanjing suddenly received a secret telegram, saying that there is a very important information to be handed over to the national government. The other party is using an encrypted channel, that is, our password and secret frequency have been cracked. At that time, Nanjing was very shocked, but in the end, the investigation was fruitless.

A week ago, the other side cracked our frequency and code again, informing us that he had a copy of Japan's latest chemical weapons technology and hoped that we would be able to send someone to pick him up. ”

"Chemical weapons?"

Li Tongsheng's face suddenly became ugly.

As early as the world war from 1914 to 1918, European and American countries used chemical weapons on a large scale, causing heavy casualties. Since then, the League of Nations has explicitly stipulated that countries must not use chemical weapons.

As an intelligence officer, Li Tongsheng certainly knows about chemical weapons.

Isn't it even more dangerous that this chemical weapons technology is in the hands of the Japanese?

"Does he really have this information in his hands?"

"We don't know, but according to the formula he sent, we can tell that he does have such a document in his possession. In addition, he will arrive at the county seat of Qi County in Henan on the eighth day of the first lunar month. ”

"The eighth day of the first month? Why do you want to arrive in Qi County on the eighth day of the first lunar month?

Also, why Qi County? The traffic over there is not very convenient, why not choose Beiping or Shanghai? ”

Liao Mengyan shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, he sent a message with Morse code, and he will stay at the Tongfu Hotel in Qi County on that day." So I thought, send you to Qi County to pick up this person. ”

After speaking, Liao Mengyan paused.

"Qi County is now under our control, and it shouldn't be too difficult to pick him up.

However, this information is very important, and the headquarters means not to alarm too many people, and after secretly sending people to meet the counterpart, they will send them to Nanjing with the information. I think about it, and it's best for you to go. You are from Henan, you can arrive in Qi County in advance, and wait for this 'Haihona' to arrive in Qi County. ”

Li Tongsheng hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The unhappiness of being plucked has vanished.

, do you avoid it because of good or evil?

What's more, this task is more attractive to him than capturing **. Therefore, he stood up and said uprightly: "Rest assured, I will definitely complete the task and send the intelligence and people to Nanjing safely." ”

"Hayhorna's successive cracks on our frequencies and passwords indicate that there is something wrong with us.

So far, this mission is only known to Principal Dai, Captain Yao from the headquarters, and you...... This mission should not be fanfare, so you don't want to bring too many people, three or five people are enough. ”

"Humble duty understands!"

When Li Tongsheng said this, he suddenly showed hesitation.

"Any questions?"

"Seated, lowly ......"

"If you have any difficulties, just say it."

"It's not a difficult task, but it's a big deal.

I'm going to bring two people over, but considering the situation in Qi County, I want to find a helper. ”

"Helper?"

"It's my brother and my guide.

It was under his guidance that he joined the revolution in his humble position. My brother is very capable, both civil and military, and once served in the Great Presidential Guard. It's just that...... He later quit the party and lived in seclusion in Gong County. ”

Liao Mengyan was taken aback, looked at Li Tongsheng and said, "Why did you quit the party?" ”

"This ......"

"Forget it, I won't ask why. Since he is a member of the Grand Presidential Guard, his loyalty is unquestionable...... I'll leave this matter to you, and I won't ask about anything else. I'll just ask you: What's his name? ”

"Report, his name is Su Wenxing."

"Since you hold him in high esteem, do as you say.

I have only one request, to ensure the safety of intelligence and Hahona. In two days, I will go to Nanjing, waiting for your triumphant return. When the time comes, I will invite you to drink and celebrate your achievements! ”

"Yes!"

"Then you go and prepare, be careful on the road."

Li Tongsheng saluted Liao Mengyan again, and then turned to leave.

Looking at Li Tongsheng's back, Liao Mengyan couldn't help but fall into deep thought......

Li Tongsheng has a long party experience, and he can be regarded as an old seniority. His loyalty to the party-state is unquestionable, but what about his 'brother'? Liao Mengyan suddenly became full of curiosity about Li Tongsheng's 'brother'.

A member of the Great Presidential Guard? Doesn't that mean that you also know the headmaster?

This is a figure like a party veteran, why has he never heard of it?

Quitting the party and living in seclusion? Well, it feels like there's a story in it!

Thinking of this, Liao Mengyan immediately walked to the desk and grabbed a phone on the desk.

"I'm Liao Mengyan, yes, Liao Mengyan, the commissioner of the Chang'an County Party Affairs Steering Committee.

Immediately pick me up in Nanjing, yes, the communication investigation team of the Nanjing Ministry of National Defense, and find Captain Yao Shichun to answer the phone.

Yes, the Communications Investigation Team...... Lao Yao? I'm Liao Mengyan! ”

On the other side of the phone, a voice with a thick Zhejiang accent came, "Old Liao, why did you remember to call me?" ”

"Lao Yao, I want to check someone."

"Who actually wants our Director Liao to ask in person?"

"Su Wenxing, who used to be a member of the Great Presidential Guard, has now retired from the party...... Yes, Su Wenxing, notify me immediately after finding out. ”
