The knock on the door came again, more urgent than last time.
Shopkeeper Qiu paused slightly, looked at Wang Xu with an ugly face, and said hesitantly: "Is it your next door neighbor again?"
Wang Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Xu Jiazhen was driven away by him, and the possibility of coming back was very low.
Last time it was an error, but this time it may not be the case.
"Open the door, I'm Gazi, open the door quickly!"
Before the two of them thought about it, Gazi's voice came from outside the door.
It's okay that Gazi didn't mention his name, but when he mentioned himself, Shopkeeper Qiu felt as if he had been stung by a wasp, and he didn't dare to open the door.
After all, Wang Xu had said that if Gazi came back on his own, he might have been deliberately released as a bait to lure them out.
Shopkeeper Qiu is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of being arrested. If the underground party is leaderless, the organizational losses will be huge.
"Boss Wang, don't be a crow's mouth!" Shopkeeper Qiu didn't open the door. After sighing to Wang Xu, he leaned on the crack of the door and asked: "Granny, why are you coming back alone? Where is Yu Zecheng?"
"
"Uncle Yu, Uncle Yu was arrested..." Gazi said breathlessly and panting.
Upon hearing the news, Shopkeeper Qiu was certainly mentally prepared, but for a moment he felt light-headed and his eyesight went dark.
Wang Xu's reaction was not that strong, but thinking about Yu Zecheng's arrest made him feel uncomfortable. What a good comrade he was.
"Lao Yu, you are really unlucky. You have been lurking for so many years, and then you met a bastard and jumped on the street. What do you want me to say about you? Forget it, I'll withdraw. I'll burn more for you during the Tomb-Sweeping Festival.
Paper money." Upon hearing the news of Yu Zecheng's arrest, Wang Xu returned to the house and opened the shuttle door without saying a word.
In the whole world of the Republic of China, Yu Zecheng was the only one he admired, but it was a pity that Yu Zecheng's life was not good, so what could he do.
It seems that I can't stay in this small courtyard anymore, so I'd better leave first.
As for Shopkeeper Qiu, hehe, Wang Xu and he are not familiar with each other. It is better to fly separately when a disaster comes. Is it possible that he will be brought to the modern age?
"Shop Manager Qiu, Uncle Yu was captured by the puppet army. You should go and redeem him as soon as possible."
"What, redeemer, you haven't been exposed?"
Just when Wang Xu was about to leave, things took another turn.
Hearing Gazi's confused tone, he asked strangely through the door: "What are you exposing?"
"I mean, how did the puppet army catch you?"
Shopkeeper Qiu asked, and Gazi quickly described it: "Last night I ran out, and Uncle Yu chased me. As a result, at an intersection, Uncle Yu was caught by the puppet army. I didn't dare to speak at that time.
I heard that the puppet soldiers said that Uncle Yu was acting suspiciously and would be taken back to the regiment for questioning. I followed them all the way to their regiment headquarters, and then hurried back to report the news."
At this point, Gazi suddenly remembered something, looked at the crack in the door, opened the inside of his coat, and said: "Uncle Yu lost his pistol when he was arrested. I have already got the gun back."
"So, the puppet army arrested Lao Yu just because he was acting suspiciously and you didn't expose him!" Shopkeeper Qiu was overjoyed. He quickly opened the door and scolded Gazi: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You were panting so hard that you almost killed me.
Scared to death."
As soon as the door opened, the street was peaceful and quiet, not even a ghost was seen.
Zhang Ga touched his head and pursed his lips, not daring to refute. He just muttered: "What I want to say, but you won't open the door!"
"Stop muttering and come in quickly!" Shopkeeper Qiu caught Gazi in and quickly checked the door bolt.
After doing all this, he trotted into the house and shouted in a low voice: "Boss Wang, did you hear that? Nothing happened to Lao Yu!"
Shopkeeper Qiu was happy from the bottom of his heart that nothing happened to Yu Zecheng.
Wang Xu was also very happy. Yu Zecheng was not exposed, which meant that it was safe here and he didn't need to think about running away for the time being.
Just to be on the safe side, he did not close the shuttle door, but blocked the doorway and asked: "Granny, who are the puppet soldiers who captured Lao Yu? Have they arrested anyone else?"
"They arrested them. They arrested many people. Anyone they met while walking at night was taken back. I followed them all the way to the north of the city and saw their regiment headquarters. It said the 144th Regiment of the North China Security Army."
The answer was very detailed. Wang Xu couldn't hear anything, but Shopkeeper Qiu could.
"In the puppet army station in the north of the city, there is the 144th Regiment. The leader is Li Haichuan, a big bandit who was imprisoned by the Japanese." Shopkeeper Qiu is the head of the underground party and knows the military and political institutions in the city well.
Wang Xu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. It seemed that Lao Yu was really caught by mistake, rather than someone setting a trap for them.
Of course, it's not wrong to be careful. Although he believed Gazi's words in his heart, Wang Xu still said: "Shopkeeper Qiu, please check whether Gazi has any injuries on his body."
"Injury!" Shopkeeper Qiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
If Gazi has injuries on his body, it means that he has been severely tortured and there is a possibility of rebellion.
Although this possibility was slim, Shopkeeper Qiu still thought it was better to be cautious and said: "Granny, take off your top and let me see if you are injured."
"Injured?" Gazi responded slowly. He just thought that Shopkeeper Qiu was caring about him, and nodded repeatedly: "No injury, I'm fine."
"Take it off and stop talking nonsense." Shopkeeper Qiu insisted, and Gazi quickly took off his shirt.
There are no scars, if you have been in the interrogation room, whip marks, bruises, they are all essential.
Seeing that Ga Zi was intact, shopkeeper Qiu finally felt relieved. He turned around and said to Wang Xu, "Gazi should be fine. If he falls into the hands of the Japanese, he will be severely punished and cannot be left intact."
"Fell into the hands of the Japanese?" Although Gazi responded slowly, he was not a fool.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like you care about him, but rather like you're censoring him.
Gazi tilted his head and thought for a long time, then looked at Wang Xu, then at Shopkeeper Qiu, and asked in surprise: "You are not doubting me, becoming a lackey of the Japanese, and coming back to set a trap for you, right?"
"Haha, there's nothing wrong with being careful." Wang Xu didn't like Gazi, so naturally he didn't speak tactfully.
When Ga Zi heard this, he became anxious and his temper got worse. He said angrily: "Everyone in Baiyangdian knows who I am. My grandma died in the hands of the Japanese. You actually doubt me. I, I will not live anymore!"
"
The gazi was very timid, and when he felt aggrieved, he hit the wall with his head.
Shopkeeper Qiu was standing aside. When he saw Gazi was about to hit the wall, he quickly pulled forward, causing Gazi to hit him.
Shopkeeper Qiu, who had an injury on his left shoulder, burst open due to this collision, making him sweat from the pain.
"You kid, you are too angry. Who did you learn this from? The organization can't investigate you?" Shopkeeper Qiu gasped in pain, thinking that if this was his own child, he would have slapped him long ago.
Wang Xu also frowned as he looked at it, looking for death. Who are you trying to scare?
Gazi's character was like that of others in the guerrillas, but if he was put into the national army, he would have been shot eight times by the commander.
"Shopkeeper Qiu, since Lao Yu was arrested by mistake, take some money and go to the Puppet Legion Headquarters to redeem him." Wang Xu ignored Gazi and said to Shopkeeper Qiu.
Shopkeeper Qiu did not agree directly, but considered for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, I can't go when I come out, so I have to let the military commander go."
"Military Tong!" Wang Xu understood as soon as he thought about it, Yu Zecheng's apparent identity was the director of the Military Tong Confidential Office.
If something happened to him, how could he let the underground party redeem him? Of course, it would be the people from the military command who would do it.
If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself.
When the underground party redeems people, no matter how good it is, it cannot be perfect.
If Yu Zecheng is exposed because of this, it will be more of a loss than a gain.
"Yes, go and do it quickly." After Wang Xu finished speaking, he looked at Gazi who was staring at him, and then said: "Take this kid away too, and don't let me see him again. He will cause trouble every day.
