It's not that I didn't expect this matter. I had arranged for Yun Wei to be responsible for this matter before. However, Yun Wei happened to go to another place. In addition, he had been discussing with Wang Tianmu recently about recovering the stolen money. He was negligent.
Then, he actually forgot about this matter.
Unforgivable!
Geng Chaozhong blamed himself. In the final analysis, he still trusted Zhao Kezhen too much. A senior underground party member who had been lurking for such a long time must have gone through many considerations before making a decision.
The attitude of just helping is not really focused on protecting Zhao Kezhen's identity.
After all, human nature is still selfish. As long as it does not involve one's own safety, he will always ignore some things intentionally or unintentionally.
Fortunately, there has been no movement from Zhao Kezhen's side until now, which means that the Japanese have not discovered his identity as a red party member, but it would be better to find an opportunity to inform him as soon as possible so that he can be prepared for this matter.
Geng Chaozhong calmed down and was about to step towards the house when suddenly an idea flashed through him.
wrong!
How could Zhao Kezhen, who had taken refuge with the Japanese, fail to consider the possibility that Nanjing might point out his identity as a Red Party member to the Japanese and use a borrowed knife to kill others?
You know, the Fuxing Society listed Zhao Kezhen as an assassination target at that time. As long as Zhao Kezhen's identity was disclosed to the Japanese, wouldn't it be possible to kill Zhao Kezhen without any effort?
Is it possible that Zhao Kezhen is so awesome that he can think of reviving society in advance and let him go?
No, Zhao Kezhen must have his own confidence. How could such an old underground person not think of this?
While he was deep in thought, Wang Jianqiu walked out of the room and said, "Brother Six, what's the matter?"
"Oh," Geng Chaozhong smiled, "I suddenly thought that Zhao Lijun's three men knew that Zhao Kezhen was a member of the Red Party. If they rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, wouldn't Zhao Kezhen's identity be exposed?"
Wang Jianqiu's expression changed, and he frowned and said, "Yes, this is indeed a problem, but there is nothing we can do about it. We cannot control the situation in the extra-high school."
"Yes, so let's forget about it after thinking about it," Geng Chaozhong chuckled, "Although Virgo has told us to control Zhao Kezhen when the time is right, this matter is not within our control. If Zhao Kezhen really
If the Japanese discover it, we can only blame him for his fate."
"What Sixth Brother said is true, then let's just wait and see how things get better." Wang Jianqiu said with a smile, looking very relaxed.
.........
Peking Education Office, Muto Masahiro sat on the sofa in Zhao Kezhen's office with great dignity.
Zhao Kezhen was slightly surprised by Mu Teng's visit, but his face remained calm. He poured a cup of tea for Mu Teng with a smile and said:
"Mr. Muto, why are you free to come to my place today? It's not peaceful in Peiping these days!"
"It's not surprising that a few bandits were just robbing homes," Wu Teng waved his hands with an indifferent expression, then glanced at Zhao Kezhen and asked with a smile:
"I heard that Mr. Zhao has been working in Peking since he was 21 years old. He must know the customs and customs of Peking very well, right?"
"I understand, of course I understand, but Mr. Muto remembers it wrong. I came to Peiping in 2023. At that time, I was just a freshly graduated student. I was an ordinary clerk in the Education Department and did some odd jobs to make a living. It was not worth it.
It’s not worth mentioning.” Zhao Kezhen said with a smile.
"23 years? I heard that the Red Party in Peiping was very troubled at that time!" Muto seemed to be quite interested in that era.
"Of course, they scattered leaflets all over the streets and recruited people to join their gangs. At that time, there was also a man named Li XX, who was the leader of the Red Party in the north. He was at Peking University. That was... tsk tsk..."
Zhao Kezhen smiled.
"Yes, 'Nan Chen Bei Li'! I've heard of it in Japan. At that time, the Red Party was also very active in Japan. Many professors and students at Kyoto Imperial University also joined the Red Party. It was very powerful.
!" Muto also showed an expression recalling the past.
"Ahem, it's just youthful spirit. What do students know?" Zhao Kezhen shook his head.
"Yes, they are all too naive," Wu Teng nodded in agreement, then glanced at Zhao Kezhen and said with a smile, "So, Mr. Zhao joined the Red Party at that time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Teng stared at Zhao Kezhen's face with a sneer on his face.
"Me? Join the Red Party? Haha, Mr. Muto is really good at joking." Zhao Kezhen's expression showed nothing strange, let alone any panic. He opened his mouth and laughed, with a sarcastic expression on his face:
"For so many years, I have been said to be a royalist, a reformist, a fake foreign devil, but no one has ever said that I am a Red Party member. Where did Mr. Muto hear these rumors? This is so ridiculous!"
Zhao Kezhen shook his head repeatedly as he spoke, obviously feeling extremely ridiculous about Muto's words.
"Oh?" Wu Teng was a little confused by Zhao Kezhen's expression. He glared at Zhao Kezhen's eyes and said sternly:
"Mr. Zhao, it's useless for you to deny it now. I have definite evidence to prove that you are a red party. The Fuxing Society Secret Service has even issued a killing order for you. The whole matter is clear.
, the witnesses are all there, you have no room for denial!"
"Joke, joke," Zhao Kezhen shook his head repeatedly, "Mr. Wu Teng came to me today just for this matter? It's the most ridiculous thing in the world! I'm afraid you don't know, right? Nanjing wants to kill anyone in the cultural and political circles.
People will accuse them of being a red party. Over the years, are there not many such things? Do you want me to give you a few examples? "
"this......"
Muto was immediately speechless. Indeed, when the Party Mediation Office and the Secret Service Bureau arrest people without finding any charges, they often label them as "red party members." Since the Qing Dynasty in 1927, this kind of behavior has
There are as many as eight thousand things, and many people have been accused of unwarranted crimes, and their families have been ruined.
Seeing Mu Teng's hesitation, Zhao Kezhen became even more confident and said eloquently:
"Mr. Muto, you must not listen to the wind or rain. You know my background very well. Vice President Wang Qianhai is a leftist. How many of his men have been labeled as 'Red Party' and died miserably. This kind of
If you just ask anyone on the street, you will know that you actually believe such rumors, which makes me extremely disappointed with Mr. Muto's wisdom!"
"This...this..." Wu Teng was left speechless by Zhao Kezhen's words with a gun and a stick. After a long while, he finally said: "Mr. Zhao really
Not the Red Party?"
"Joke!" Zhao Kezhen stood up with a puff of sleeves, "Zhao has always been obsessed with education and has never been involved in politics, let alone any partisanship. Because of this, he was labeled as a red party by others. Just some time ago
Mr. Yang Xingfo Yang, who was assassinated by the Secret Service, was also falsely accused of being a red party member. If Mr. Muto doesn’t believe me, I can resign and go back and not be involved in political affairs from now on. Now Mr. Muto should be satisfied!”
Wu Teng was ridiculed by Zhao Kezhen and was speechless. He secretly regretted that he should not have come here to ask for trouble. In fact, what Zhao Kezhen said was really the truth. Who among the progressive people assassinated in Nanjing in the past few years was not assassinated?
If we really want to arrest people according to Nanjing's "screening standards" for being labeled a "red party", then I'm afraid more than half of the people in the country will be arrested!
After standing there stunned for a long time, Wu Teng finally lowered his hands to the ground, bowed 90 degrees to Zhao Kezhen, and said sincerely:
"Mr. Zhao, it was Muto who got into trouble this time! Muto would like to express his deepest apologies to Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, Simimasai!"
