Zuo Shaoqing did not return home until after ten o'clock.【】
Her younger sister, You Shaoqing, was already waiting for her at home. She was wearing pajamas and pajamas, lying on the sofa with a book of some sort, which seemed to be a mimeographed pamphlet.
When her sister entered the door, she immediately jumped up and said, "Sister, you have met my brother, have we discussed it?"
"My brother, my brother, I'm really not ashamed." Zuo Shaoqing didn't want to give her a good look. She took out a few pages of paper from her purse and threw them to her, "Well, this is the guest we want to invite."
You Shaoqing happily flipped through the list and kept saying: "Okay, okay, there are not many people, everyone who should be invited has been invited. Sister, where will it be held?"
"It's been agreed, it'll be in the small theater with the revolving door."
Zuo Shaoqing changed into the clothes he wore at home, sat down on the sofa with a glass of water, and asked casually: "What have you been busy with recently? You and I are no longer in the bureau."
You Shaoqing looked at his sister with his big shining eyes, a very guilty expression on his face, "I'm not busy with anything. I have nothing to be busy with."
Zuo Shaoqing stared at her, "Smelly girl, you're not going to get enough of me if you want to lie to me."
You Shaoqing smiled and said, "I'm really not busy with anything. I won't lie to you."
Zuo Shaoqing was even more confused, "Did you find any clues?"
You Shaoqing smiled even happier, "What's the clue?"
"Clues from the locust tree."
"No, no. I'm not going to lie to you. Sister, I'm looking for your clues." After saying that, she started to giggle.
"Smelly girl, don't act poor with me, or I'll slap you."
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid, aren't you okay? When I get a clue, I'll be the first to tell you, okay?"
"That's pretty much it." Zuo Shaoqing had a conclusion in her mind. Her sister had indeed been secretly looking for clues these days, but it was very possible that she had gone in the wrong direction. This judgment made her feel a little more relaxed.
Her sister said, "Okay, let's get down to business. There will be an opera singing during the ceremony, have you made your choice?"
You Shaoqing chuckled and immediately picked up the mimeographed booklet from the sofa, "How do you think of this play? One in Qing Yi and one in Hua Dan, it's just right for the two of us."
Zuo Shaoqing took the brochure one, and it turned out to be the Peking Opera "Matchmaker". This girl really knows how to choose movies.
Speaking of which, the play "Matchmaker" comes from "The Romance of the West Chamber", which everyone knows. However, for a long time, there was no "West Chamber Opera" in Peking Opera. Later, one of the "Four Famous Dancing Stars"
Xun Huisheng, because he liked the role of the matchmaker in "The Romance of the West Chamber", took it upon himself to compile and compile a script based on the contents of the Kunqu opera "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "Hao Hong", and named it "The Matchmaker". In October 1936,
Mr. Xun premiered "The Matchmaker" at the Halfei Theater in Peking, which caused a great sensation at the time.
Zuo Shaoqing flipped through the brochure and asked: "Which discount did you choose?"
You Shaoqing flipped through the pages quickly, pointed to a page and said, "This is the fold, are you okay?"
Zuo Shaoqing fixed his eyes and took a single glance, and couldn't help but get furious, "Smelly girl movie, why did you choose this discount? You are simply a gangster!"
You Shaoqing was so ridiculous that he leaned forward and backward, "Sister Smelly, Sister Smelly, you are not allowed to talk nonsense. I just think this part is good, it is good, I will do this part."
Zuo Shaoqing couldn't help but laugh, "You are so shameless. I have never seen you so shameless."
You Shaoqing jumped up and said, "Sister, come on, get up, let's walk again, walk again."
Zuo Shaoqing stood up and said: "I only sing four lines anyway. After I finish singing, I will go down. You can play alone. I warn you, this is enough for that, so don't take advantage of it anymore."
You Shaoqing laughed harder and harder, "Sister, you don't know what kind of people are sitting in the audience, they just like this. I promise not to perform, can't you? Come on, it's your turn to go on stage first."
That night, the two sisters fought until midnight before going to bed.
On the morning of the next day, You Shaoqing sneaked into Zhao Minggui's office like a thief.
"Old Zhao, my sister seems to have noticed it." You Shaoqing whispered.
"Did you notice something? What happened?" Zhao Minggui was a little surprised.
"Last night, she kept asking me if I had found the locust tree and if I had found any clues? What did she mean?"
This situation surprised Zhao Minggui. He knew Zuo Shaoqing's shrewdness very well. Did she really notice it, or did she have another purpose?
He smiled and said: "Young Master, you didn't reveal your bottom, did you?"
A sharp light flashed in You Shaoqing's eyes, "Old Zhao, I am You Shao. I am still looking for her background."
Zhao Minggui nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I must not tell your sister. But I know who your sister is. If I really hide it from her, I might not be able to hide it. I just want to know how she will react."
You Shaoqing whispered: "I'm also waiting for her reaction. Then I'm leaving." She waved to Zhao Minggui and quietly left the office.
You Shaoqing really has some doubts about her sister. Her sister said that Americans are also looking for locust trees. Although she did not explain what she meant. But after tasting it carefully, it seems that her sister is also looking for locust trees, and she is looking for locust trees.
It was a bit strange that Americans were looking for her. She was a little unsure about this matter.
She really wanted to tell Zhao Minggui about it. But the relationship between her sister and Americans was too sensitive. Some people secretly said that He Junjie committed suicide because he was afraid that he would get too close to Americans.
Hold on. You Shaoqing is also a little worried. If she tells her sister and the Americans, she might lose her life. This is something she doesn't want to do. She has only one purpose now, to find out what happened to her sister.
Who is he?
In the past few days, You Shaoqing arranged for his people to start tracking Zhidao throughout the whole process. To put it bluntly, the so-called full tracking means monitoring Yu Zhidao everywhere at all times. On his way to and from work, in the Ministry of National Defense, and at his home, he has been
Everywhere he goes and who he comes into contact with every day must be monitored.
Zhao Minggui also opened the monitoring recordings of Zhidao and Guo Chongmu to her. You Shaoqing sent two people to monitor together with Zhao Minggui's people.
A few days later, they really discovered something important about Yu Zhidao.
However, both You Shaoqing and Zhao Minggui overlooked one point. They did not understand who Yu Zhidao was.
This Yu Zhidao is not an ordinary person. In the Joint Logistics Headquarters, he holds a high position and can dominate the sky with one hand. Behind his back, he dares to pull the strings and engage in arms business with the Communist Party. Even Ye Gongjin has no choice but to turn a blind eye.
One eye. In the small conference room of the Ministry of National Defense, he dared to say to Ye Gongjin face to face: "If I find any miscellaneous person following me, I will directly ask the guards to kill him!" Under various circumstances, for him,
They all have the word "profit".
These are still the second step. When it comes to dealing with Wang Tiancai, he had originally entrusted Zuo Shaoqing through Liao Fengshan to get rid of Wang Tiancai, but then sent his own gunmen to assassinate Wang Tiancai, in an attempt to blame Zuo Shaoqing for the matter.
This shows how vicious and cunning he is.
Recently, he has noticed that he is under surveillance by the Secrecy Bureau. He remains calm but is secretly making up his own mind.
In the afternoon of that day, Yu Zhidao went to Guo Chongmu's office.
"Brother Chongmu," Yu Zhidao sat down on the sofa and said bluntly: "Northeast China is finished, don't think about him anymore. I wonder what you think about the military arrangements in the North China Theater?"
Guo Chongmu looked at him calmly and put the teacup on the coffee table over, "Brother Zhidao, please have tea. What you mentioned is still being studied, and we need to listen more to the Chairman's instructions."
"I can't compete with you. You mobilize your troops and leave at a moment's notice. Now they're all mechanized. You just get in the car and leave. We can't. We must first formulate a material use plan, and then formulate a railway transportation plan and a road transportation plan.
When we really wait for transportation, we still don’t know how long it will take. If you don’t come up with your battle plan, what will happen to my transportation? I can’t catch him now. You can give me some news.”
Yu Zhidao's words surprised Guo Chongmu, which had never happened before. He had to say: "It's really still being studied at the moment, and it hasn't been formed yet. Just wait a little longer. When there is news, I will
inform you."
Yu Zhidao pondered, his eyes rolled on Guo Chongmu's face, and then said: "That's fine. However, we still have to make preparations earlier. In a few days, our joint logistics will also have a meeting, and several major districts will
The Supply Department is here, and people from the Air Force and Navy are also participating. I also told the commander-in-chief that they will also send people to participate. If you have time, come and participate too, and let us consider it."
This matter is also something Guo Chongmu is concerned about. He asked: "Have you set a time?"
"It's just for these three or four days. I'll let you know when it's decided."
"That's fine. If there's nothing going on with the chairman, I'll go and participate."
"Okay, then we've settled."
However, after Yu Zhidao said this, he had no intention of leaving. He smoked a cigarette and looked at Guo Chongmu silently, as if he had something else to say.
"Brother Zhidao, what's wrong? Do you have anything else to worry about?" Guo Chongmu asked with a smile.
Yu Zhidao stared at him with heavy eyes and said slowly: "Brother Chongmu, you have also seen the current situation. It is very bad. You and I should think about it in the long term. You understand me
Do you mean it?"
Guo Chongmu asked with a smile: "What do you mean by long-term consideration?"
Yu Zhidao leaned forward and looked at Guo Chongmu. He lowered his voice and said softly: "Someone introduced me to a relationship over there. I have been hesitating whether to meet him. Brother Chongmu is interested.
Want to meet together?"
Guo Chongmu was a little surprised. He didn't expect him to say such words. He stretched out a finger, put it on his lips, and pointed at his ear with another finger.
Yu Zhidao smiled coldly, "I know, you don't have to worry. Well, think about it and just give me a message. Let's talk about it then, okay?" He stood up.
Guo Chongmu escorted him to the door and whispered: "Why did you say this in the office? It's too bad."
Yu Zhidao smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. I know there are ears in the office, and I'm just waiting for them to find me. Okay, see you later. I'll let you know when the meeting time is set."
Guo Chongmu thought that Yu Zhidao was gone, but he was very confused. He thought about it and felt that it was best to tell Du Ziyuan about this matter to see if it was really true. Be careful about this Yu Zhidao.
That night, Zhao Minggui and You Shaoqing entered Ye Gongjin's office with the recording of Yu Zhidao's conversation in Guo Chongmu's office, and played the recording to him.
Ye Gongjin listened to it twice and looked up at Zhao Minggui, "Tell me what you think."
Zhao Minggui glanced at You Shaoqing and said: "I feel that there are two points that should be paid attention to. First, this Yu Zhidao is very concerned about the deployment of military power in North China. However, it stands to reason that he will always know about the deployment of military power in North China sooner or later. Since
In that sense, he seems to be a little anxious to know now."
Ye Gongjin nodded, "That makes sense, he can't wait any longer."
"Second," Zhao Minggui couldn't help but smile, "He seems to want to drag Director Guo into trouble. Isn't this interesting? These two people are both the ones we pay attention to."
Ye Gongjin nodded and turned to You Shaoqing, "You should pay attention to both Yu and Guo, but the focus now is on Yu."
You Shaoqing nodded, "I understand, I will pay attention."
That night, You Shaoqing came home very late. Ye Gongjin carefully discussed the next step with them.
Let me tell all the officials that this Ye Gongjin and that Yu Zhidao set traps for each other. What Yu Zhidao said to Guo Chongmu was actually a bait for Ye Gongjin.
