Chapter 20 Secret Talks
Three days later, in a hidden teahouse in Zhangzhou, Lu Qian was led into a luxurious private room. Zhang Zhongmin hurriedly got up to greet him, shook hands tightly with Lu Qianfang, and then sat down separately, and Zhang Zhongmin personally poured tea for Lu Qianqian.
Zhang Zhongmin looked at Lu Qianqian with a sincere and frightened look, and said busily: Brother Qianqian, you made it so hard for me to find it!
Lu Qianfang also smiled and said: Yes, now that the national crisis is at hand, you have your own heavy responsibilities and are running around, if you don't go to Zhangzhou as the stationmaster, we don't know when we can meet?
Zhang Zhongmin also sighed and said: I have been parting for a whole year, and I still remember my brother helping me in danger.
Lu Qianfang smiled: You and I friends, help each other, it is really deserved, you don't have to be polite. Summoned today, I don't know what the webmaster has to say?
Zhang Zhongmin owed his body and said: "How dare you, how dare you!" ”
Lu Qianfang answered: Between you and me, although each is its own master, there is no gap, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly.
Zhang Zhongmin paused and said, "Since Brother Lu is so happy, I'll just say it." Today, I invited Brother Lu to come to deliver a message from Director Dai, who knew that you had come to Fujian, and specially ordered me to invite Brother Lu to talk about it.
Lu Qianfang asked in surprise: Oh, Director Dai is very well-informed! What message does he want you to deliver?
Zhang Zhongmin continued: In the past, we were each our master, and we met each other in arms, but since last year, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have cooperated for the second time and joined hands to resist Japan again, and Director Dai wants to be friends with you! ”
"Oh, really?" Lu Qianfang felt very sudden, he calmed down and asked, "I can't ask for to make friends with the famous Director Dai." However, we are from a bad background, and we are afraid of bringing bad luck to Director Dai. ”
Zhang Zhongmin smiled and said: "Actually, you misunderstood Director Dai, a high-level agent talent like you, no matter what your background and portal is, Director Dai is welcome." ”
Lu Qianfang was even more surprised when he heard this.
"Director Dai really said that?" Lu Qianfang stared at Zhang Zhongmin and asked.
"Well, it was Director Dai who said it on the phone!" Zhang Zhongmin replied truthfully.
Lu Qianfang picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly: "After so many years of dealing, I haven't seen it yet, it's a pity!" Within you, there has always been a difference between a descendant and a collateral, not to mention that I am an outsider! Your Director Dai is fickle and likes to kill and assassinate indiscriminately, I don't like him very much, and I never thought of going to him to make a difference, but you are more friends than them, and I am willing to make friends with you! ”
Zhang Zhongmin smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust." Are we friends in the first place! He thought for a while and said: Director Dai told me personally that he really wants to make you a friend, and you can mention any conditions, Director Dai said to meet your requirements as much as possible.
Lu Qianfang was puzzled and asked, "Oh, I don't know what kind of friend Director Dai wants to make with me?" Is it an ordinary friend or a special friend? ”
Zhang Zhongmin smiled and said: "Ordinary friends or special friends, Director Dai said that it depends on you, and it is up to you to decide." ”
Lu Qianfang said in surprise: "So, Director Dai thinks highly of me, I heard that there is no one to bargain with Director Dai." ”
Zhang Zhongmin continued: This is mainly to look at people, and distinguish different people. Director Dai said, to be an ordinary friend, you have something to do, you beg him; He has something, he begs you. If it's a special friend, he can let you take on some of the responsibilities right away. ”
Lu Qianfang smiled and said, "The conditions offered by Director Dai are tempting enough, what if I don't want to make friends with him?" ”
Zhang Zhongmin continued: "Director Dai attaches great importance to you, but he is not at ease with you, and his instructions are 'use if you can, use it, and kill it if you can't use it'. ”
After Zhang Zhongmin threw the word "kill", he carefully observed the other party's expression.
Lu Qianfang smiled faintly and said: You Director Dai are used to killing people, killing people who don't like the eyes, and killing people with different political opinions, but we communists are not afraid of being killed.
Zhang Zhongmin listened and said quietly: I know that you are not afraid of death, but this time it is a matter related to Brother Lu's future and fate.
Lu Qianfang smiled and said: Here I want to thank Brother Zhong Min for his concern, you also know that our party is deeply supported and welcomed by the people from all walks of life, and has a broad mass base, why don't Brother Zhong Min join our team.
Zhang Zhongmin smiled slightly and said: "The brother in front must not be used as a joke, this time Director Dai is sincerely invited." After receiving a phone call from Director Dai a few days ago, I also had a lot of thoughts, thinking about such a question, thinking about why a person like Brother Lu didn't join the Kuomintang? I thought about it for a few days, and it was nothing more than that you advocated anti-Japanese resistance, and the government had not yet resisted Japan at that time. Maybe you are an idealistic person who thinks that it is not enough to save China's Three People's Principles, and it must be communism. In fact, China has not gone through capitalism, and it is more practical to have the Three People's Principles. Director Dai said that Brother Lu published a 'Zheng Restart Incident' in Ta Kung Pao, saying that you have never joined the Communist Party, or left the Communist Party. In this way, when Director Dai goes to Chairman Chiang, he will be able to guarantee that you will immediately assume the responsibility of the first department. ”
"Oh, Zheng restarted!" Lu Qianfang said in surprise.
"Yes!" Zhang Zhongmin looked at him.
Lu Qianfang calmed down and said: "It's not difficult to post a notice, but then it will be pointed out by thousands of people, spurned by thousands of people, and left a stench for thousands of years, don't you find that this is a very cost-effective thing?" Do you want your friends to leave a legacy in history? ”
Zhang Zhongmin interjected: "Of course not. ”
"Since that's the case, I don't need to advertise!"
Lu Qianfang thought for a while and then continued: "Just now you talked about making friends, in fact, we communists are the most righteous, it is best to make friends, no matter what party or person you are, as long as you are resisting Japan and defending the territory, we are willing to be friends with them, even if it is someone who has hurt and killed us before, in the face of the common enemy, in the face of the national righteousness, we are all regardless of the past suspicions. Now that the Japanese invaded, a large area of the country had fallen, and the great enemy was present, didn't Chairman Chiang also declare to the world that "no matter whether the land is north or south, and all people, old and young, all have the responsibility to resist the war and defend the land"; in the face of the general interests of the nation, no matter what party or organization, what should be done now is to abandon the past suspicions, consciously form a united front, unite with the outside world, and jointly resist the enemy of foreign aggression, instead of mutual suspicion and internal fighting, and in the end up in pain for relatives and happiness for enemies, leaving behind a ruined historical infamy!
Lu Qianfang's words were reasonable, which made Zhang Zhongmin fall into deep thought.
Lu Qianfang continued: Please Brother Zhang to tell Director Dai that I have received his kindness, and whether I can become friends with him does not depend on me, but on him, and I also want to be friends with him and become special friends. ”
Zhang Zhongmin was silent for a moment, picked up the teacup and said with admiration: "I will definitely convey your words to Director Dai, so that we can replace the wine with tea and have a drink." ”
The two men raised their teacups and drank them.
Lu Qianfang put down the teacup and stood up and said: Brother Zhongmin, it's not too early, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. ”
Zhang Zhongmin stood up, held Lu Qianqian's hand tightly and said, "Brother ahead, take care!" After listening to your remarks just now, I was deeply touched that although we cannot be comrades, we can still support each other. ”
Lu Qianfang nodded and said: This is exactly what I am looking forward to, thank you for your understanding and support, Brother Zhongmin, please take care too!
Two people waved goodbye at the door.
Lu Qianfang walked out of the teahouse, and there were already underground parties in civilian clothes and rickshaw drivers waiting there.
"Secretary Lu, you finally came out, and you made us all anxious!" The head of the underground party said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Well, I said it would, it's going to be fine."
"Secretary Lu, get in the car."
The person in charge guarded the rickshaw in front of him, and the other plainclothes officers kept a close eye on the security around him.
Lu got into a rickshaw in front of him, and the drivers pulled him away quickly.
