The Bada Hutongs are the famous "houses and halls" in Peiping. To put it more simply, they are jiyuan.
Geng Chaozhong packed up everything, took Wang Jianqiu and Xie Yan, wore silk robes and sunglasses, found three rickshaws, and arrived at the door of "Cuiyunxuan" with a wretched look on his face.
Looking up, the Cuiyunxuan archway is tall and antique, with several cars parked at the door. It is obviously the "famous" place of Bada Hutong.
"Brother Six, this place is very prosperous. When you enter the place, you have to give Mr. Turtle a piece of ocean, and then the old lady gets another piece, and the maid who leads the way gets another piece. You don't do anything, and you just leave with three pieces of ocean. Most people really
I can't afford to come." Next to him, Wang Jianqiu, a familiar figure, introduced his work.
"Oh? So familiar?" Geng Chaozhong glanced at him.
"The mission requires it, and information is convenient here." Wang Jianqiu chuckled.
"Let's go!"
Geng Chaozhong didn't care either. The brothers worked hard and it was natural for them to relax. However, Xie Yan next to him just laughed and stayed outside the door knowingly.
"You guys are too honest!" Wang Jianqiu glanced at Xie Yan, muttered casually, and escorted Geng Chaozhong inside.
The Cuiyun Pavilion has a three-story inner ring layout, with a stage on the first floor, a teahouse on the second floor, and private rooms on the third floor.
Usually the guests who come here are not so impatient. They usually watch a play on the second floor before going to the private room on the third floor to have fun. Geng Chaozhong glanced at it and soon saw a familiar face and spoke.
He pointed to the east side of the second floor and said:
"go there!"
Wang Jianqiu tipped the old lady Turtle who came up to her with ease. They walked side by side to the second floor, but it was already crowded. They were looking at where to sit when two people suddenly stood up from a table next to them, shouting
road:
"No fun, take me to the third floor!"
When the turtle man saw that there was a seat available, he quickly took Geng Chaozhong and Wang Jianqiu over.
"Fang Laoliu, you're fine!" A man with a mustache wearing sunglasses said with a smile.
"Haha, Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a year, but your style is still as good as before!" Geng Chaozhong also laughed.
This person is none other than Chen Gongshu, the second-ranked person in the Fuxing Society’s Secret Service!
The two of them were both bare-bones in the Secret Service, so they had always had a good relationship. However, since Geng Chaozhong was imprisoned and Chen Gongshu went to Tianjin, they had not seen each other for a year.
"Brother Chen, what brought you to Peiping?" Geng Chaozhong asked after a few words of greeting.
"Of course it's the south wind. This wind is very evil, blowing sand and rocks and blowing red soil all over the sky!" Chen Gongshu pursed his lips.
"Red party?" Geng Chaozhong came over and the two clinked glasses.
"Yes, it's a big fish this time." Chen Gongshu still had the smile on his face, but his tone was very serious.
"In Peiping?" Geng Chaozhong asked again.
"Well, I have touched a lot in Tianjin, but here in Peiping, I still need your help, brother." Chen Gongshu said.
"Who?" Geng Chaozhong's words were concise and to the point.
"Director of the Peking Education Department, Zhao Kezhen!" Chen Gongshu squeezed out a few words.
"What?!" Geng Chaozhong almost couldn't hide his eyes under his sunglasses.
"Why, brother, have you seen him?" Chen Gongshu picked up a melon seed from the fruit plate.
"I met him once, but he is a Red Party member?" Geng Chaozhong also started to eat melon seeds.
"It's true, they've already been recruited over there. Can this guy hide well enough?" Chen Gongshu's sunglasses flashed with a cold light.
"You know, wasn't it already done by Marshal Zhang?" Geng Chaozhong said speechlessly.
"He was the one who slipped through the net at that time!" Chen Gongshu said coldly.
"How many years has it been? Are you sure?" Geng Chaozhong still seemed unable to believe it.
"It wasn't many years ago, just six or seven years ago. At that time, the Qing Communist Party arrested only young people, and no one thought of him. If I hadn't captured the leader this time, he was also an old Red Party member. I would have
I can’t believe that the dignified director of the Peking Education Department is actually a red party member!” Chen Gongshu also seemed to have a bit of shock on his face.
The gongs and drums were beating downstairs, and the show seemed to be about to begin. Geng Chaozhong said nothing and stared at the stage on the first floor, seemingly digesting the shocking news.
He really didn't expect that Zhao Kezhen, Zhao Ersheng's father, was actually an underground party member!
The scenes that happened in the past few days flashed before Geng Chaozhong like a movie, including Zhao Kezhen's gun-wielding hands when he sneaked into Zhao's mansion, his meaningful eyes in the library, and the series of weird things that led Zhao Ersheng to settle in Yanda.
This action made Zhao Kezhen become clear in Geng Chaozhong's mind.
Yes, when I sneaked into Zhao's mansion, I didn't even notice that Zhao Kezhen was holding the gun, but I didn't think much about it at the time, because the Japanese, the Green Gang and the Red Gang were very rampant in kidnapping and assassination, and the officials at the time were more or less prepared.
Especially in Shanghai, putting a gun under the pillow is the consensus of almost all celebrities and wealthy businessmen.
But later, Zhao Kezhen's actions may not be that simple.
"Old Six, you must be shocked!" Chen Gongshu's voice came from the side, "Actually, it's not easy to find this guy. I didn't expect it at the beginning. Later, it was Li Qingshan who was beside Marshal Zhang of the Northeast Army who prompted me, and I found it.
Clues to this guy.”
"Li Qingshan?" Geng Chaozhong asked.
"Yes, this guy was also arrested together with that ***, and later he took refuge with Marshal Zhang. After Marshal Zhang was bombed by the Japanese, he stayed with Marshal Zhang, and now he is Marshal Zhang's chief adviser." Chen Gongshu said.
"Well..." Geng Chaozhong nodded.
"The Red Party member I captured had a photo of Zhao Kezhen next to him, but no one could recognize it. The Red Party member had only contacted Zhao Kezhen a few times and had never met him. He didn't know that Zhao Kezhen was Director Zhao. If it hadn't been for Li Qingshan
, this big fish just ran away!" Chen Gongshu said.
"No wonder, no wonder," Geng Chaozhong sighed repeatedly, "What are you going to do with this big fish?"
"It's difficult!" Chen Gongshu shook his head repeatedly, "The photo is very blurry and difficult to identify. In addition, Zhao Kezhen is not an easy person. Behind him is Wang Quanhai, Vice President Wang. If we really want to catch him, I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance.
big."
"Is he Wang's man?" Geng Chaozhong's eyes trembled.
"Yes, the only people who belong to Vice President Wang are the cultural circles. Now if we mess with his people, I'm afraid he will have to fight to the death with the principal." Chen Gongshu also looked helpless.
"Otherwise, just kill him!" Geng Chaozhong gave him a soft blow with his right hand.
"Well, that's what I thought about. I've already sent a telegram to the acting boss. Let's see what the boss gives us!" Chen Gongshu nodded, and then changed the subject, "It's just that I can't hide the capture of the Red Party for a long time.
Sooner or later, the news will reach Zhao Kezhen's ears, I'm afraid, there will be many dreams during the long nights!"
