Shopkeeper Qiu's teeth were chattering, his upper lip was slapping his lower lip like chaff, and he finally managed to say these words.
Japanese?
The dark-skinned man next to him, holding his shoulders and moaning, was looking at Shopkeeper Qiu with angry eyes. Obviously, what Shopkeeper Qiu said was true.
Geng Chaozhong frowned and glanced at Wang Tianmu next to him. The current Beiping City is not entirely the territory of the Chinese. At least, it is not considered the territory of the Nanjing government. Along the Great Wall, there are Xifengkou, Gubeikou, etc.
On the ground, the Northeastern Army led by Marshal Zhang was still confronting the Japanese army, and Japanese aircraft flew overhead from time to time. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Beiping City was a battlefield.
Because of this, the assassination of Zhang Jingyao by Wang Tianmu and others was so secretive. If it was really the territory of the Nanjing government, why would it be so troublesome?
Wang Tianmu nodded and signaled to Geng Chaozhong that it didn't matter. There was a company of Chinese troops stationed within a few miles of the Forbidden City. If there was going to be a big disturbance, Wang Tianmu was not afraid.
Geng Chaozhong put down shopkeeper Qiu, walked slowly in front of the Japanese, licked his lips with the tip of his tongue and sneered:
"Tell me what your name is and what your identity is. I don't have much patience."
The Japanese man had a hard face, covered his bleeding arm with one hand, and said through gritted teeth:
"You can't touch me, thirty miles away..."
"ah!"
Before the Japanese finished speaking, he opened his mouth and screamed, because Geng Chaozhong had already pinched his injured arm and was stirring the wound vigorously with two fingers!
"Are you trying to say that there are Japanese troops thirty miles away?! I'm telling you, within three miles, they are all Chinese troops!" Geng Chaozhong said through gritted teeth while tearing at the man's wounds.
"Tanaka, Tanaka Hideki!" The Japanese couldn't bear the pain and finally shouted out.
"How dare you, a dark-skinned person, be called Hideki?! I'm so handsome, but I don't dare to give him that name!" Geng Chaozhong moved his hands even more fiercely when he heard the Japanese name.
Wang Tianmu next to him was helpless. This little Geng was not like this before. Could it be that after being imprisoned for a year, his temperament changed drastically?!
However, in the eyes of Tanaka Hideki, this Chinese has turned into a madman. For a madman, threats and intimidation are useless. Therefore, Tanaka Hideki quickly began to explain the situation:
"I am a sergeant in the Imperial Army. I was recruited by the military police to monitor abnormalities in the palace..."
Sergeant? Looks like he's just a kid!
However, I also have my own value. Geng Chao Zhongmi raised his eyes...
At this moment, there was a call outside the door. From the sound, it should be Chinese soldiers stationed around the Forbidden City. Wang Tianmu stood up and said, "I'm going out for a moment."
Geng Chaozhong nodded, and when he saw Wang Tianmu walking out, he immediately leaned into Tanaka Hideki's ear and whispered:
"あなたが力してください.后であなたをreleaseします(You cooperate a little, and I will let you go later)."
Tanaka was shocked. There are some Chinese who can speak Japanese, but it is rare to speak it so fluently. What's more, judging from his age, he is definitely not the kind of person who has studied in Japan for many years. Is it right?
Shopkeeper Qiu next to him saw Geng Chaozhong and Tanaka Hideki whispering, and his eyes showed a look of confusion. At this moment, Geng Chaozhong suddenly turned around, smiled at shopkeeper Qiu, and then slowly walked up to him.
around.
Shopkeeper Qiu's teeth chattered and he wanted to say something, but immediately, his head was grabbed hard by a pair of strong hands. Then, with a click, Shopkeeper Qiu's neck tilted and he fell to the ground.
"This person cannot be kept," Geng Chaozhong looked at Tianzhong and said, then looked at the door. Wang Tianmu was still negotiating with the Japanese outside the yard, so he continued:
"You can go, I will take care of the rest. Remember, at nine o'clock tonight, Yan'erdao Cafe in Dongjiaomin Lane."
The Japanese nodded, gritted his teeth, held his arms, and left quickly from the back hall. Geng Chaozhong smiled, turned around and walked back to the table, made himself a pot of tea, and drank slowly one mouthful at a time.
sip.
After a while, Wang Tianmu came back and saw shopkeeper Qiu on the ground in a dead state with his tongue hanging out and his eyes rolled. He also saw that the Japanese had disappeared, but he just shook his head and said with a smile:
"You kid, you're lying again."
"Brother Tianmu, you know that I never lie to others." Geng Chaozhong laughed.
"Forget it." For Geng Chaozhong, it was superfluous to say anything. Wang Tianmu took a few steps and sat opposite Geng Chaozhong. He smiled and said, "It seems that you already have your own plan."
"Well," Geng Chaozhong nodded, "I arrived in Peiping yesterday. I didn't go anywhere. I just walked around Liulichang a few times."
"Then you fell in love with Bona Zhai?" Wang Tianmu asked.
"Well," Geng Chaozhong nodded, "The location of Bona Zhai is the best. You can see the entrance of Hepingmen at a glance. It is a good place for surveillance. What's more, shopkeeper Qiu here is the most famous restaurant in Liulichang area.
Palm Eye', coming here will bring you hundreds of benefits and not a single harm."
"I just didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain." Wang Tianmu also smiled.
"Yes, everyone likes the good location," Geng Chaozhong smiled, "It's not surprising that the Japanese like this place."
"Are you planning to seduce the Japanese to contact you?" Wang Tianmu asked.
"Yes, if you want to start work, you have to find a starting point," Geng Chaozhong looked out the window. "The situation in Beiping City is complicated, with three religions and nine streams, the Japanese, the Northeast Army, Wang's side, the Red Party's side,
There are also many foreign embassies, plus us, it is not easy to open up the situation."
"Yes," Wang Tianmu also lamented, "the Great Wall of China has been fighting for a year, Rehe has been lost, and the Japanese are targeting Pingjin. I'm afraid it won't be long before Peiping will be completely reduced to a battlefield."
"The Japanese will not attack Peiping forcefully," Geng Chaozhong shook his head. "I also read a lot about Japanese politics in prison. The so-called ***** of the Japanese is based on the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty. Peiping is the Yuan Dynasty.
Dadu, they won’t turn Peiping into a mess.”
"Oh, your point of view really makes my eyes shine." Wang Tianmu showed an interested expression.
"It's not just a matter of flashing your forehead," Geng Chaozhong teased Wang Tianmu's bald head and continued:
"The Forbidden City was the center of world rule in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and a symbol of imperial power. It has become a symbol of China and has an extraordinary status in the hearts of the Chinese people.
If there is wanton destruction and plunder, it will definitely trigger resistance across China, which will not be conducive to the rule of the Japanese invaders in the occupied areas, and will also have a negative impact on the continued invasion of the south.
More importantly, if the Japanese want to rule the whole of China, where will they place their capital? Where will the emperor live when the time comes?"
Snapped!
Wang Tianmu slapped his thigh, "Xiao Geng, you are really talented. No wonder you can be a professor at a women's public school. How about I find a position for you in a university in Peking to cover your identity?"
