Chapter 39: Where Righteousness Lies
The air in the room suddenly froze.
Ma Sanyuan hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Brother, you are knowingly asking!" β
This sentence also confirmed Su Wenxing's guess.
"Third master, to tell you the truth, I have not been in contact with the party for many years since I quit the party in the fifteenth year of the Republic of China. I don't know what's going on out there, and I don't want to know about it. Originally, I came here because my brother was entrusted with him on his deathbed. I thought it was over, but now I feel that things are far from as simple as I thought. Whether it's Miss Qiao or that Major Guan Shan, it seems that they have another purpose. Moreover, their purpose seems to have something to do with what you just said.
I don't know, should it be continued, so I'd like to hear your thoughts. β
"Daji's curse?"
"Maybe!"
Ma Sanyuan smiled bitterly and lightly patted his forehead twice.
"Actually, I didn't think as far-reaching, but I thought of another thing."
"What's the matter?"
"Zhang Yuanwai!"
Su Wenxing's eyes froze, and he immediately reacted.
"If they're going to find Daji's curse, why do they want to take Zhang Baoxin with them?"
Ma Sanyuan spoke, got up and walked out.
Su Wenxing hurriedly carried the package and followed behind Ma Sanyuan.
Guan Shan said that he would send Zhang Baoxin to the Hebei Provincial Government.
According to him, it is difficult to make sense of your conjecture. However, if Zhang Baoxin is Guan Shan's person, or if Zhang Baoxin and Guan Shan are a group of people, this seems to be able to make it clear. β
Su Wenxing shuddered, "You mean to say that Miss Qiao and Zhang Baoxin are a group of people?" β
His face became a little ugly, and he couldn't accept Ma Sanyuan's statement for a while.
Ma Sanyuan shook his head, "It shouldn't be!"
If they were acting before, it seems completely unnecessary and too real! If Zhang Baoxin and Miss Qiao are really a group of people, it can only be said that Miss Qiao's acting skills are too clever. β
"They are not a group of people, and Guan Shan and Zhang Baoxin ......"
When Su Wenxing said this, he waved his hand again and again: "Impossible, didn't you just say that Miss Qiao and Guan Shan know each other?" β
"That's the real fun!"
Guan Shan, and Josie know each other.
Or rather, Josie had already agreed with Guan Shan to meet in Qi County.
The reason why Li Tongsheng came here was to hand over the information to Li Tongsheng? In this way, I am afraid that it will add to the snake.
If that's the case, what happened to Zhang Baoxin?
How could Zhang Baoxin know that Josie was coming, and found the Tongfu Hotel so accurately, and sent someone to keep an eye on the No. 1 room in Tianzi? This shows that Zhang Baoxin knew Josie's whereabouts and plans in advance.
So Zhang Baoxin, where did he get the news? Who's behind this?
Also, Li Tongsheng's death......
According to Li Tongsheng, he accepted a secret mission, and not many people knew about it.
However, the Japanese can grasp his whereabouts very accurately, and the anti-water at Zhengzhou Station also seems a little strange.
Su Wenxing suddenly stopped and looked at Ma Sanyuan.
Ma Sanyuan stopped at the door of his room, turned his head to look at Su Wenxing, and beckoned to him.
At this time, Su Wenxing was cold all over his body.
He thought of a possibility, a very scary possibility!
Walking into Ma Sanyuan's room, he sat down at the door.
Ma Sanyuan walked to the side of the bed, bent down, and pulled out a box from under the bed.
"You've already guessed who I am, and I don't want to be verbose.
In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, Jiang launched the April 12 coup d'Γ©tat and carried out a bloody massacre of our party. Over the years, organizations in various places have suffered sabotage, and those who have died have died, and those who have been caught have been caught, and it can be said that they have suffered heavy losses.
My organizational ties are in Xi'an, but due to Jiang's purges, the organization has suffered heavy losses. At that time, I was in the Kailuan Coal Mine, and I was negotiating a deal with the Americans, hoping to buy some arms to arm myself and strengthen my self-defense capabilities. It was only when I negotiated a business and was about to return to Xi'an that I learned that the Xi'an party organization had been completely destroyed, and at the same time lost contact with the organization.
In desperation, I had no choice but to return to my hometown to lurk and wait for the time to restore contact with the organization. β
After speaking, Ma Sanyuan opened the box.
Su Wenxing's gaze swept over the box.
It's all guns, all kinds of guns and bullets, and there's a lot of variety.
Ma Sanyuan took out a British Enfield Type 4 short rifle from it and examined it.
This rifle was designed in 1928, but it was not mass-produced. However, some of the Kailuan Coal Mines were imported and bought by Ma Sanyuan. This short rifle, which came to be known as the 'Ying 77', was very remarkable. The only drawback is that some stability and accuracy are sacrificed in order to increase the rate of fire and firepower, and its 7.7mm bullet is extremely rare.
Ma Sanyuan began to press the bullet into the magazine, and while pressing, he said, "I don't know what the ultimate goal of Miss Qiao is, maybe as you said, it has something to do with 'Daji's curse'." However, I know that since the other party has spent such a big price, and even ignores the information, it shows that the nature of the problem is very serious. Perhaps, they have already broken the 'curse of Daji', which is why this is the case. β
He finished loading, took out two more pistols from the box, and began to check.
"Xiaosheng is an intelligence officer, and he is very careful.
However, his whereabouts were known, indicating that there must be a Japanese traitor in the communications investigation team.
If something happens to Xiaosheng, it will be possible for him to leave Nanjing.
After that, he bought Zhang Baoxin, at first hoping that Zhang Baoxin would catch Miss Qiao, and then he would reappear, rescue Miss Qiao, and go together to find 'Daji's curse', which can also dispel Miss Qiao's vigilance.
It's just that he didn't expect that I would let Jin Zi out of the city, and he happened to meet the Ying battalion commander.
In desperation, he had no choice but to come to Qi County with the British battalion commander...... No, where did Zhang Baoxin's all-Japanese equipment come from? I heard Xiaosheng say that Nanjing is now mainly importing German-style equipment.
Slowly, slowly, maybe Zhang Baoxin was commissioned by the Japanese? β
Ma Sanyuan glanced at Su Wenxing and said in a deep voice: "You also said that the communication investigation team has Japanese spies, why can't it be Guan Shan?" β
Su Wenxing shuddered again, revealing a sudden look.
"If so, it seems like everything makes sense."
His eyebrows frowned, and he immediately walked to Ma Sanyuan's side, squatted down, and glanced at the box.
"Springfield rifles? Third master, the goods you bought are enough miscellaneous! β
"What can I do, I don't have money, and I can't make a large sale, not to mention that Jiang is very strict, even if I find a buyer, it is not easy to ship. But this M1903 is really good. β
Su Wenxing smiled and took out the M1903.
When he came to Qi County this time, he did not carry weapons, mainly because it was inconvenient to carry.
This M1903 is exactly what he wants.
He picked it up, checked it, and came out with two more pistols.
"After Miss Qiao cracked the 'curse of Daji', she got in touch with Guan Shan.
But she didn't expect that Guan Shan was a spy of the Japanese. He deliberately revealed Xiaosheng's whereabouts to the Japanese, wanting the Japanese to kill Xiaosheng, and then he could find an excuse to come out. Moreover, he has long been in contact with Zhang Baoxin...... Or is that Zhang Baoxin also a Japanese spy? β
Ma Sanyuan got up and took out a duffel bag from the cabinet.
He put both the gun and the bullets in the bag, and a dozen grenades into it.
"It's not impossible!
The Japanese are very ambitious for us.
After the death of Han Yukun, Zhang Baoxin led the team into Taihang Mountain, and over the years, even the national army could not help them. On the one hand, it is the Hebei Provincial Government that wants to raise bandits for self-respect, and on the other hand, it is also Zhang Baoxin who is really powerful. But I've always wondered one thing, where did they get so many weapons when they were in the Taihang Mountains? In a way, even better than the weapons of the national army.
Now I kind of get it!
Zhang Baoxin is probably also a dog raised by the Japanese, and he has the support of the Japanese behind him to be so arrogant. β
Su Wenxing nodded, and put the gun and ammunition into the duffel bag.
Ma Sanyuan looked at Su Wenxing and suddenly smiled.
"How about a KMT member who has quit the party for many years, and a communist who has lost his organization, come to the KMT-CCP cooperation?"
"That's a good idea."
Su Wenxing couldn't help but smile and nodded.
"Although I don't know exactly what 'Daji's curse' is, and I don't know what Miss Joe is thinking.
But I can't watch Miss Joe in distress!
She is willing to hand over such important materials to you, which shows that in her heart, there is our country, and we are Chinese. She's an expert, we can't watch her in distress, we have to get her out.
Brother, if we do this, you and I may both die. β
"If it weren't for Miss Joe, I'd be dead by now."
Su Wenxing said, picked up the duffel bag, turned around and walked out.
"Miss Joe saved you? What's the situation? Tell me about it!
If you don't say it, I'll forget about it...... You were sick before, half dead. Why did you suddenly become so energetic now? Miss Joe and you...... I'll just say, the way she looked at you was wrong. β
"Third master, are you communists so boring?"
"It's not boring, it's curiosity!
The Communists were curious about everything unknown...... Tell me, how did she save you? β
Ma Sanyuan followed behind Su Wenxing and walked downstairs.
When he met him, he saw Xiao Jinzi walking in with the ingredients, and when he saw Ma Sanyuan and Su Wenxing, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Third master, Brother Xiao Su, are you going out?"
"Jinzi, come here!"
Ma Sanyuan was also stunned when he saw Xiao Jinzi.
The original relaxation seems to have disappeared all at once.
He stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Jinzi in his arms, and said in a low voice: "I want to go out with your little brother Su to do something, and when I am not there, I will ask you to take care of it at home." In the cabinet in my room, the bottom plate was empty, and there were two thousand oceans in it. Under the floor at the foot of the table, there are more than 500 oceans. The two thousand oceans can't be moved, you keep them, someone may come to you in the future.
More than 500 oceans, I left it to you! β
Xiao Jinzi was originally smiling, but after hearing Ma Sanyuan's words, he was stunned.
The dish in his hand fell to the ground all of a sudden.
"Third master, where are you going, don't you want gold?"
"You donkey ball, why don't I want you? It is to give you an explanation, so that you will not mess around. β
"But ......"
"Be obedient, take good care of the house, and wait for me to come back."
After Ma Sanyuan finished speaking, he pushed away the gold and walked to the back kitchen.
Su Wenxing walked up to Jin Zi, patted him on the shoulder as well, and then took out a note from his pocket.
"Gold, the package in the third master's house, you have to collect it for me!"
"Brother Xiaosu, where are you going, don't you all want gold?"
"Stinky boy, I'm going to do something with the third master, you can see it well, and wait for us to come back."
With that, he slipped the note into his gold pocket, "Put it away, here is my address." β
Carrying his duffel bag, he strode through the back kitchen to the backyard.
There were two horses in the stables in the backyard, left behind by the bandits. At this time, Ma Sanyuan had already led the horse out, and when he saw Su Wenxing coming, he threw the reins to Su Wenxing, "Xiao Su, can you ride a horse?" β
"Ha, when I learned to ride a horse, you were a cook."
Su Wenxing's words are not bragging, he has a wealthy family since he was a child, and he can ride a horse at the age of ten, which is really not comparable to Ma Sanyuan.
He took the reins, put the duffel bag on the horse's back, and rolled over on the horse.
On the other side, Ma Sanyuan also got on the horse clumsily, and the two of them rushed out of the backyard one after the other.
"Third master, Brother Xiao Su, you have to come back!"
Xiao Jinzi ran out, with tears on his face, and shouted at Ma Sanyuan and Su Wenxing: "You are not here, Jin Zi is afraid!" β
Ma Sanyuan's body stiffened, then he took a deep breath and didn't turn his head back to urge Ma to leave.
He knew it would be very dangerous.
He had to deal not with the bandits, but with well-trained soldiers.
He didn't dare to look back at Little Gold because he was afraid, and when he saw Little Gold in tears, he would lose his courage.
Ma Sanyuan urged Ma to leave, but Su Wenxing saw the tears flowing from his eyes.
He turned around on his horse and waved at the little gold.
"Take care of the house, we'll be back soon!"
After speaking, Su Wenxing also followed Ma Sanyuan and urged Ma to leave.
The two of them galloped along the long empty street, one after the other.
The sound of horses' hooves echoed over the long street.
Xiao Jinzi ran out with him, and only stopped when he ran to the street entrance, his face full of tears......
He stood at the corner of the street, facing the direction where Ma Sanyuan and Su Wenxing were leaving, and shouted with all his strength: "Third master, you must come back...... Little Gold will be waiting for you, always waiting for you to come back! β
