A few minutes later, Wei Mingshui saw the result. ( ) Several soldiers in yellow uniforms led the new owner who took over the "Rongli Restaurant" out of the store. The new owner struggled to turn around and shouted, seeming to argue that he was wronged. But
He was quickly put into a jeep. The clerks in the store were driven out. A soldier put a seal on the store door.
Wei Mingshui was terrified. If he had arrived earlier, he might have been kidnapped by those soldiers. Now, the unlucky new boss was obviously his scapegoat.
At this time, Wei Mingshui could only lower his head and leave quietly. He could not help but think that, just as You Shaoqing had said two nights ago, once someone in the group was arrested, he would immediately confess and bring everyone in the group to justice.
Betrayed, naturally including him.
Another burst of light rain fell on his face, and the cold January wind in Wuhan kept blowing into his heart.
At this point, he has lost all his money, and this is nothing. He must consider where to go now.[
He moved yesterday afternoon. There is no doubt that he would never dare to go back to his original residence. The question is, would he dare to go back to the new residence? It was Gu Zhanbiao who helped him move yesterday afternoon. Gu Zhanbiao helped him move.
He has no idea what the situation is now. If Gu Zhanbiao is also arrested, then there will definitely be soldiers from the Military Control Commission in his new residence.
Wei Mingshui first stayed in a small hotel for two days, and then rented a small bungalow in the suburbs. He told the landlord that he came from the countryside to stay with relatives, but the relatives went out and would not come back until a month later. He then
He lived in that small bungalow. He didn't dare to go out during the day, and only came out to walk around the streets at night.
A month later, he saw a message from You Shaoqing to him on the bulletin board of Dong Cai Chang. After that, You Shaoqing established contact with the brothers in the group one by one. But she only found six people, including Wei Mingshui.
Four people are still missing.
It was in the past few days that Wei Mingshui saw the telegram from the bureau headquarters in Liu Xi's hands. In just one month, Wuhan's fifth latent group had been turned upside down, and times had changed. "Dispose in accordance with wartime military regulations."
, had become a great irony for him. He shook his head in distress and tore the telegram into pieces.
After this fright, he no longer dared to despise every word You Shaoqing said. From the eyes of the brothers, he also saw the respect for You Shaoqing.
After some careful inquiring, he finally learned the fate of the four brothers. Just because these four people had discussed together where it would be better to move, hoping to live closer to the brothers. And one of them temporarily
He was lazy and left a day late, so he was arrested by the soldiers of the Military Control Commission. He immediately confessed. The three people were also arrested for this. When Wei Mingshui figured out the situation, these four people had already been shot by the Military Control Commission.
What's even more frightening is that the places where Wei Mingshui and the remaining brothers lived and where they worked were searched by soldiers from the Military Control Commission. They just followed You Shaoqing's warning and left a day early.
The situation seemed not bad enough for Wei Mingshui. In March 1950, the country began a campaign to "suppress counterrevolutionaries." This campaign was later referred to as "suppression of counterrevolutionaries." But this "suppression of counterrevolutionaries" campaign was by no means simple.
After You Shaoqing restored contact with everyone, he re-checked and arranged the residence and work unit of each brother, and gave each person a stern warning not to contact other group members, and not to recognize each other even if they met on the street.
In the unit, work honestly and do not say any unnecessary words.
Even Wei Mingshui is not allowed to meet with his team members. Only You Shaoqing is responsible for contacting all team members. The so-called "contact" is just a "face to face" with each person regularly to know that this person has not been arrested.
.
During that period, Wei Mingshui worked as a general manager in a primary school and carefully managed the paper, exercise books and chalk in the warehouse. You Shaoqing warned him: "You can't even throw away a pin."
In his free time, he just read newspapers. He read carefully any articles related to "suppression of counterrevolutionaries". What frightened him was that some of the leaders of the sleeper cells who had participated in secret meetings with him kept appearing in newspapers. The newspapers mentioned these
The most commonly used sentence is, "They confessed their counterrevolutionary crimes."
Wei Mingshui and his brothers hid for six months before gradually establishing contact. From the first telegram from the bureau headquarters that Liu Xi gave him, he vaguely realized that they were the only remaining hidden team in Wuhan.
It was at this time that their group gradually began to carry out activities. Each of their activities was carefully planned by You Shaoqing and then carefully arranged and implemented.
The entire "activity" of Wei Mingshui's team is to provide intelligence to the bureau headquarters in Taiwan. This "intelligence" was determined by You Shaoqing and collected separately by the team members.
The "intelligence" collection scope stipulated by You Shaoqing left Wei Mingshui, who had been the director of the intelligence department, dumbfounded and baffled. The scope of the "intelligence" collection is roughly as follows:
1. Prices. Prices and supply quantities of grain, oil, fish, vegetables, cloth, clothing, footwear, coal, daily necessities, rent, water and electricity, etc. on the market. Focus on collecting the situation of goods in short supply.
2. Wages. Wages of various industries and types of employees, whether they often work overtime and the amount of overtime pay. The focus of collection is state-owned enterprises and industrial and mining enterprises.
3. Society. The main content of residents’ groups convening residents for meetings or carrying out other political activities. The focus is on the recent call issued by the municipal government, as well as the way and efficiency of conveying it to the lower level.
4. Emotions. Various complaints, strange words, gossips and even rumors passed by residents in private situations. The focus is on political, social content, and other content that can reflect public opinion and people's hearts.[
5. The names of officials at all levels and their resumes as detailed as possible, as well as their salaries and incomes.
Etc., etc.
There are more than a dozen such "intelligence" classifications in total. There are also some classifications that are even more incredible and difficult to understand, especially in the eyes of people at the time. Therefore, they are not listed here one by one.
The advantage is that all this "intelligence" can be obtained through public channels with almost no risk.
When Wei Mingshui's team members saw this "collection range", they were all speechless and looked at You Shaoqing as if they were seeing a monster. Even Wei Mingshui himself could not see the significance of these things.
"You Shaoqing, is this the information you mentioned?" Wei Mingshui looked at You Shaoqing in confusion.
You Shaoqing nodded to him calmly, "Old Wei, this is intelligence. These things are both economic intelligence and political intelligence. They are more valuable than the so-called military intelligence."
After six months of hiding in horror, Wei Mingshui finally understood one thing. Carrying out those bombings and assassinations now would only lead to death. He didn't want to die, and neither did his team members. So,
He could only do these "intelligence" collection tasks, and he had no other choice at this time.
The first batch of such "intelligence" was sent to Taiwan, which was a long telegram. When Wei Mingshui looked at the contents of such a telegram, which was piled up like a child playing with mud, he couldn't help but have a weird smile on his face. He couldn't help but
Imagine the expressions on the faces of the big shots in Taiwan when they saw this "intelligence".
Wei Mingshui handed the telegram to Liu Xi and said: "Send it! Let them copy it to death!"
A week later, a call back from the headquarters was sent to Wei Mingshui.
The response was extremely brief: "We must expand the scope of our collection."
Wei Mingshui and You Shaoqing pondered the call back with their own concerns. They felt that the call back contained at least three meanings: First, Wei Mingshui's fifth team was not ordered to take any more "decisive action." This made Wei Mingshui and You Shaoqing
They all breathed a sigh of relief. Second, they were obviously dissatisfied with the content of the intelligence, but they did not criticize it harshly, which surprised Wei Mingshui and You Shaoqing. Therefore, third, this message indirectly confirmed that Wei Mingshui's group was already hidden in Wuhan.
The only lurking group left. This made Wei Mingshui and You Shaoqing feel a sinking feeling. At this time, they were like a lonely boat in the strong wind and waves. They could only struggle alone without support or response.
Wei Mingshui saw his situation clearly and said with sharpness in his eyes: "Young Master Right, the headquarters requires us to expand the scope of collection. What do you think we should do?"
You Shaoqing sneered and said: "Old Wei, they are all a bunch of unreasonable fools! Don't pay attention to them and continue to send them such information."
This kind of intelligence collection work lasted for a year, and it was also sent to the headquarters for a year. Finally, there was a slight change in the calls back from the headquarters. One of the calls back said: "Please be more detailed." This tone was already quite gentle.
What Wei Mingshui and You Shaoqing can confirm is that the headquarters seems to have approved the intelligence they collected. In addition, the funds for Wei Mingshui's group's activities have also been remitted on time. This matter satisfies Wei Mingshui the most and is also illustrative of the problem.
Now, the judges can take a guess, whose hands did this "information" finally fall into? You are smart enough, and you guessed it right. This "information" did fall into the hands of You Shaoqing's sister and Zuo Shaoqing.
In hand.
The judges must still remember that after Zuo Shaoqing was kidnapped by Ye Gongjin to Taiwan, they were immediately put into the detention center of the Secrecy Bureau by Mao Renfeng. After half a year, they were released due to the secret protection of Mr. Jingguo.
Ye Gongjin got a casual position as a member of the "National Security Council" and a clean desk. Zuo Shaoqing got a job at the "Intelligence Research Institute" under the Secret Service of the Ministry of National Defense (later the Intelligence Bureau).
The sinecure of an intelligence researcher.
Since it is an "Intelligence Research Institute", it is natural to study intelligence, especially intelligence from the mainland.
Those intelligence officers were all not smart enough, and they only paid attention to military intelligence. When they saw the intelligence sent by Wuhan's fifth latent group, they all laughed and threw it aside.
The only one who took a closer look at this information was Mr. Zuo[
