"I'm sorry, my husband is a little carsick, and he spoke a little too hastily. Please forgive me, brother, and don't be on the same level as him!" The woman next to Wang Erzhu said to Li Qiang with an apologetic smile.
After saying that, he took out the two people's IDs from his bag and said, "These are our IDs. Please take a look at them."
Just as Li Qiang took the certificate from the woman's hand, his hand suddenly became heavy, and he discovered that there was a piece of ocean sandwiched between the two people's certificates, which was obviously used to bribe him.
Li Qiang was not polite and directly picked up the two pieces of ocean.
"Check it! Check it carefully!" Perhaps because he was unwilling to let Li Qiang take away two pieces of ocean, Wang Erzhu on the side began to get angry.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the woman glared hard and shouted in a low voice: "Old Chen, it's not over, is it? My eldest brother is also performing his duties, why do you talk so much nonsense!
"
"I……"
"What are you doing? I warned you not to mess with me. I haven't settled the matter with you last time! If you dare to cause trouble again, see how I deal with you when I get back!"
Not to mention that this trick was really effective. Before he finished speaking, Wang Erzhu suddenly shrank his neck and shut his mouth obediently.
However, Li Qiang did not pay attention to the quarrel between the two, but focused on their IDs.
"Your name is Chen Ming?"
"Can not be done?"
However, Li Qiang just snorted and ignored him. Instead, he turned to the woman and asked, "Your name is Yu Xiuning?"
"yes."
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang couldn't help but be stunned, and soon thought of an incident many years ago.
Speaking of which, that was already four years ago.
As the tragic Songhu Anti-Japanese War came to an end, by the time the National Army retreated from Shanghai, the Qingpu special training class had been opened for less than a month. It was forced to be led by Yu Zuobai and passed through Suzhou, Lishui, Fanchang, and Jiujiang, and successfully completed the training class in December.
After traveling to Qimen County, AH Province.
It was General Huang Xiansheng's troops who were responsible for escorting along the way. But even so, under the circumstances at that time, many students got separated along the way. When they finally arrived in Qimen, only about a hundred people were left in the original team of more than 400 people.
After graduation, some of these people were sent to serve in the remnants of various special forces in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. After the special training groups were integrated into the Loyalty and Salvation Army, most of the members of the Qingpu special training class held battalion and company-level positions and became the backbone of the Loyalty and Salvation Army.
Another group of students from the Qingpu special training class were sent to Shanghai to engage in secret activities.
And the name Yu Xiuning was suddenly on the list of lost students compiled by General Huang Xiansheng as soon as he arrived in Qimen!
Later, this list fell into my own hands.
However, just one name is not enough to determine whether the person in front of him is the Qingpu class student who was separated at the beginning. After all, there are too many people with the same name in the world.
But if she is really a member of the military commander, what about Wang Erzhu? Did he voluntarily abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, or did he hide his true identity from everyone from the beginning?
Thinking of this, Li Qiang made up his mind: It seemed necessary to figure this matter out as soon as possible.
Just when Li Qiang was slightly dazed, Yu Xiuning couldn't help but said: "Brother conductor, brother conductor! What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Li Qiang suddenly came back to his senses, "Oh, it's okay, there's nothing wrong with your IDs. It seems I made a mistake. Sorry to bother you!"
After saying that, Li Qiang continued to pretend to check the tickets.
It was only then that Wang Erzhu rolled his eyes at Li Qiang's leaving back and muttered in a low voice: "Hey! Who is this person?"
However, this sentence earned Yu Xiuning a hard slap, "Okay, just stop saying a few words!"
Although he was very curious about the true identity of these two people, Li Qiang did not conduct any more tests on the two people during the rest of the journey, so as not to alert the enemy.
In this way, after a long journey of five days, the train finally slowly drove into Fengtian Railway Station.
"Ah Si, I have already booked a hotel room. You can send the two ladies there first. I will go do some personal things first and will be there later."
"What did you call me..."
"Huh?" Wu Shibao was about to retort when Li Qiang glared at him and said angrily, "How did Director Li tell you before leaving? You forgot it so quickly?"
"You! Okay, I get it."
But just when he was about to greet Haitang and Gu Xiaomeng to get in the car, Li Qiang acted like a young master, "What? Is this the way you usually talk to your master?"
Wu Shibao was angry after hearing this, but he didn't dare to get angry, for fear that he would bring Li Shiqun out to suppress him again, so he could only suppress his anger and reply in a low voice: "What Ming Shao taught me is, remember it, I will do it again in the future."
I don’t dare to talk back to you anymore.”
After hearing this, Li Qiang nodded with satisfaction, "Well, that's pretty much it!"
After saying this and briefly explaining to the two women, Li Qiang got into a rickshaw and left the train station.
Kasuga Town, Heian Square, consumption mix, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar street signs, coupled with the sun flags and plaster flags symbolizing Japanese militarism that can be seen everywhere on the roadside buildings, an unknown fire enveloped the resentful people.
Emotions arose spontaneously in Li Qiang's heart.
After taking several deep breaths, Li Qiang suppressed the anger in his heart.
At this moment, the driver's voice also sounded, "Sir, we are here."
The destination of Li Qiang is officially called Bagua Street, but common people generally call it the South Market, which corresponds to the North Market. The reason why it is built in the shape of Bagua is said to be because it can resist evil and take the meaning of peace and prosperity;
The second theory is based on the tactics used by the ancients to set up the Bagua formation. If an enemy enters this formation, it is like entering a magical formation. It is difficult to get in and out, and it plays a role in defending against enemies.
Therefore, ordinary pedestrians enter this place and wander around with the densely packed businesses, brothels, opium houses and row upon row of shops. It is easy to immerse themselves in it. It also plays a big role in retaining customers and attracting business for all walks of life.
effect.
As the lively crowd entered the neighborhood, Li Qiang quickly found an open-air teahouse called Tongfu.
"Brother, here's a bowl of tea!" Li Qiang called to the waiter as he found an empty table and sat down.
Not long after, a teenage boy came over with a bowl of steaming tea and said, "Sir, this is the tea you want."
But just when the boy put down the tea bowl and was about to leave, he was stopped by Li Qiang, "Wait a minute, little brother, do you have any chili here?"
"No!" the boy shook his head and replied, "Sir, why do you want that thing?"
Li Qiang smiled and said, "I have a problem. I like to soak some chili peppers in tea to give it a spicy taste."
The boy was dumbfounded after hearing this. He had been at the tea stall for a day or two. This was the first time he heard that someone wanted to add chili pepper to his tea. He was stunned on the spot.
Li Qiang didn't care about him, but directly took out a piece of ocean from his arms and slapped it on the table, "Little brother, don't be so surprised! As the saying goes, everyone has his own merits. If you help me think of a way, I will give you double
Tea money, how about it?"
"Really?" The boy's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. After all, as long as he was willing to pay double the price for tea, who would care what he added to the tea?
"Of course it's true."
"Wait a moment objectively, I'm going to think of a solution." After saying that, the boy turned around and ran out.
It only took less than two minutes for the young man to run back panting, holding a handful of dried chili peppers in his hand, "Guest... Sir, do you think this... is this okay?"
"
When Li Qiang saw this, he couldn't help but joked: "I said, looking at your guilty conscience, you must have stolen it from somewhere, right?"
"How...how could it be possible? How can it be considered stealing for a fellow villager here? It's borrowing."
"Okay then!" With that, Li Qiang took the chili pepper from the little boy's hand and put it directly into the tea bowl. Then he flicked it with his hand, and the big piece of pepper fell on the small boy's hand lightly and skillfully.
In the hands of the man.
"Here you go, the extra tea money we agreed on will be treated as errand money for you."
"Thank you, sir." After saying that, the boy carefully put the coin away and then continued to entertain other guests.
"This gentleman is really generous! Tsk, tsk, tsk, tea with chili, this way of drinking tea is quite novel!"
Looking around, I saw the person speaking was a middle-aged man in his early thirties who was leaning on crutches. He was wearing a decent suit and a brown windbreaker. He had a fairly well-proportioned figure but was wearing a
A big head that is very inconsistent with it, coupled with the meticulously combed back hair, a pair of round sunglasses on the bridge of the nose, and the extremely funny mustache, make people feel inexplicably funny.
"What's so new about this? I drank like this when I was in the south!"
"Brother, are you from the South? The accent doesn't sound very similar!" As he said that, the man sat down at the table in front of Li Qiang very familiarly, "Do you mind?"
"Have you heard about Nanmen Town?"
"I know about the Great South Gate, but this South Gate you are talking about... I have never heard of it."
"You'd be damned if you knew! Although that place is not big, it has a special dish, eagle stewed with gastrodia elata, which is very famous!"
"Really? I've never heard of it. Are you lying to me?"
"Brother, we met by chance, why did I lie to you?"
In this way, the two of them started chatting.
After chatting for about five minutes, the man pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, lowered his voice and announced his door, "Heixiazi is the head of Lingda, Wang Dading."
"You can call me Ming Shao, or A Qiang. As for my true identity, it's inconvenient for me to tell you. Please forgive me, Mr. Wang."
"Understood! I know your rules. But..." Having said this, Wang Dading looked around cautiously, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, he continued, "Can you tell me, is it Chen...
...Um, no, it should be Nanmen Ying, did she ask you to come to me?"
"What do you think?"
"Is that true? Oh my grandma! You don't know how my brother and I have survived in the past few years. I want to cry during the day and almost fall ill at night!"
Unexpectedly, Li Qiang frowned when he heard this, "Isn't that right? Why did I listen to her when she had already explained the matter clearly to you? Besides, it has been so many years, you..."
"Don't listen to her nonsense! Isn't it only five years, three months and twelve days? My feelings for her are..."
"Okay, okay, I don't have time to listen to you. At ten o'clock tomorrow morning, I will bring someone pretending to be a couple and check into Room 312 of the Peace Hotel in Kasuga Town on time. Do you remember?"
"Don't worry, it's so small... Wait, what did you say? Where to stay?" As soon as these words came out, Wang Dading seemed to recall some bad memories, and he immediately shuddered and didn't dare to
asked confidently.
"peace restaurant."
"That's nonsense! It's not like I've never been to Fengtian City, more than ninety times if not a hundred times. How come I've never heard of the Peace Hotel?"
Li Qiang asked calmly: "Then when was the last time you came here?"
"It was only last month! What happened?"
"That's right, this Peace Hotel just opened this month, so it's normal that you don't know."
"Grandma, it seems that I will never get along with this Peace Hotel in my life!"
Li Qiang naturally had no time, let alone the mood to listen to his complaints. After drinking the bowl of tea with chili pepper in two gulps, he stood up and walked out.
"No, are you leaving now?"
However, Li Qiang didn't seem to hear him. He left the tea stall without looking back and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
After finally getting out of the South Market, Li Qiang went to the nearest tram stop, took the tram and rushed to the office of Mitsui & Co., Ltd.
After all, according to Li Qiang's understanding of these Japanese people, they always have small courtesy but no great righteousness, especially the older generation of Japanese. If he had not gone to visit Fengtian as soon as possible after arriving in Fengtian, then
It seems very rude to them.
"Hello, sir, what can I do for you?" As soon as we walked in, the Japanese lady at the front desk immediately stood up and asked in fluent Chinese.
"Hello, my surname is Ming. I just came from Shanghai. I am entrusted by Senior Colonel Hisashi Mitsui of the Intelligence Department to come here to see President Mitsui. Is it convenient for the president now?"
Upon hearing that Li Qiang was entrusted by Mitsui Juichi, the front desk immediately paid great attention to it, quickly picked up the internal phone in front of him, and made a report in a rapid voice.
Not long after, a beautiful woman wearing a secretary uniform, tall and with outstanding temperament walked out of the elevator, walked slowly to Li Qiang, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry.
Mr. Ming, I have kept you waiting for a long time. I am Momoi Sana, the secretary of President Mitsui. This is my first time meeting you. Please give me your advice!"
