Inside the Peking Education Office, a person was sitting in Zhao Kezhen's office.
"Long time no see." Zhao Kezhen gave the man in front of him a cold look.
This man was nearly forty years old, short, with a disc-shaped face and a mustache. He looked quite funny, but Zhao Kezhen couldn't laugh when he looked at him.
Because this person is the "Li Qingshan" who betrayed him in the "104" letter!
"Brother Zhao's courage is extraordinary. Someone was assassinated just now, and in the blink of an eye he was back at the Office of Education. Li admired him very much." Li Qingshan in front of him said with a pleasant smile and a twitching mustache.
"Why bother showing off!" Zhao Kezhen sneered.
Li Qingshan shook his head, as if he had expected Zhao Kezhen's attitude, he sighed and said:
"When I met you ten years ago, you were just a small officer in the Education Department. We were friends and discussed politics. At that time, I never imagined that you were also a member of the organization!"
"Haha, when I met you ten years ago, I didn't know your identity and regarded you as my best friend. But when I found out your identity, you have become a shameful traitor!" Zhao Kezhen said.
There was spit on the ground.
"Brother Zhao misunderstood," Li Qingshan smiled indifferently, "Brother Zhao's attitude toward me seems to have misunderstood me a lot."
"Misunderstanding? The more than ten comrades who died in the Peking Municipal Party Committee six years ago would not think so." Zhao Kezhen's eyes showed deep hatred.
"You are wrong," Li Qingshan's face turned serious, "Those dozen comrades were not betrayed by me."
"Not you?" Zhao Kezhen opened his mouth and laughed several times as if he had heard a big joke.
"It's really not me," Li Qingshan shook his head firmly, "If it were me, why would I need to save you again today?"
"Save me? Don't think I don't know. You were the one who pointed out my identity to the Fuxing Society!" Zhao Kezhen laughed angrily.
"Old Zhao, this is not like you. You have always been calm, how could you be so rude? Besides, we are all engaged in underground work. Isn't it too early to judge whether a person is good or bad?
"Li Qingshan said lightly.
"Oh? So, did I misunderstand you?" Zhao Kezhen sneered, but his mood calmed down a lot.
"Yes, you misunderstood me," Li Qingshan nodded firmly, but a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face. He paused, looked at Zhao Kezhen, and chanted:
"Thousands of doors on the top of the mountain are opened one after another, and the skylight, clouds and shadows linger together."
Zhao Kezhen was stunned.
This poem...
The first half of this poem comes from Du Mu's "Out of the Qing Palace of Hua", while the second half comes from Zhu Xi's "Looking at the Book and Feelings". They were originally two completely different lines, but they were put together by Li Qingshan.
However, this was not what surprised Zhao Kezhen. He just stared at Li Qingshan's eyes and read out the second half of the sentence word by word:
"When a red concubine rides on a horse and smiles, no one knows it's a lychee."
"Yeah, no one knows it's Lychee," Li Qingshan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Do you know why my code name is 'Lichi'?"
"Why?" Zhao Kezhen asked three words mechanically.
"Because the outer skin of lychees is red and the pulp is white, but after eating the pulp, the core inside is red again." Li Qingshan said with a smile.
"Lychee..." Zhao Kezhen murmured to himself, repeating these two words in his mouth, as if he was tasting the meaning. After a long time, he raised his head and asked in a low voice
:
"Are you pretending to surrender?"
"Yes," Li Qingshan nodded, "At that time, there was a traitor in the Peking Municipal Party Committee, and I was the first to be arrested. Just when I was being interrogated, I suddenly received a mysterious note from outside, instructions from my superiors.
Me: Rebellion quickly, pretending to surrender, and waiting for an opportunity to break into the enemy."
"Are the lives of those ten comrades used as the price?" Zhao Kezhen asked quietly.
"No," Li Qingshan shook his head, "The confidential secretary of the Tianjin Transportation Station was also arrested with me at the time. He also had complete information on the other dozen comrades. Moreover, he had already rebelled, and
The whereabouts of several comrades have been revealed."
"So, you used a confession that has expired to gain the enemy's trust?" Zhao Kezhen asked.
"Yes," Li Qingshan nodded, "My status is higher than that of the traitor, so my confession will naturally be taken more seriously, so the enemy quickly believed my confession, and I began to squeeze out my confession like toothpaste to buy time for everyone.
Until the traitor died in an accident."
"Accident?" Zhao Kezhen was stunned.
"You know the specific situation," Li Qingshan smiled, "From now on, I have become the director of the Tianjin 24th Brigade Political Training Office, responsible for the army's intelligence work. The person who rescued you today is also my subordinate."
"I see," Zhao Kezhen nodded, "Then what is your purpose of identifying me this time?"
"It's very simple, rescue the comrades arrested in Tianjin," Li Qingshan paused and continued:
"Although I broke into the enemy camp, the enemy was still wary of me, especially the mysterious death of the traitor, which made them have to be wary of me. But this time, I pointed out your identity and successfully obtained
Chen Gongshu, the head of the Tianjin Station of the Fuxing Society Secret Service, authorized me to screen the arrested comrades, and at least six of them were released in my hands."
"Okay, I understand. Also, since you are my top line, I would like to ask if the order to infiltrate the Japanese was also arranged by you." Zhao Kezhen asked.
"Yes," Li Qingshan nodded, "The assassination of you by the Fuxing Society Secret Service actually provided you with an opportunity to infiltrate the Japanese. This opportunity can be said to be once in a lifetime, so I decided to ask you after careful consideration at that time.
The Secret Service pointed out your identity, but this also brings you danger, I hope you can understand."
Zhao Kezhen was silent. After a long time, he finally said: "If I can use my own life to save the lives of so many comrades, then I will be happy to do so."
"No, you won't die," Li Qingshan finally showed a happy smile on his face, "Your status is special. The Fuxing Society will not dare to touch you for a short time. This gives me the opportunity to rescue you."
Zhao Kezhen nodded, looked at his old friend and online, and finally stretched out his hand.
Li Qingshan also reached out to hold hands with him, then took out an envelope from his arms, pushed it over, and said:
"My current identity is the director of the Political Training Office of the 24th Brigade of the Northeast Army in Tianjin. There is an envelope here with how to contact me.
In addition, you should pay more attention to Comrade No. 104 in the Peking Secret Service. He has only joined our party for a short time, and it was an accident that he lurked into the Secret Service without careful training beforehand. You have to pay more attention to him.
Always pay attention to his thoughts.
After staying in the big dyeing vat of the Secret Service for a long time, some ideological and style problems will inevitably arise. If not detected in time, it will inevitably bring losses to our career. We have learned this in our previous work.
.”
"Okay, I'll pay attention." Zhao Kezhen nodded.
"Okay, I'm leaving. I estimate that the Japanese will come to you soon. You should adapt to the situation and protect yourself." Li Qingshan stood up.
"Okay, goodbye." Zhao Kezhen also stood up.
The two shook hands, and Li Qingshan quickly disappeared outside the door.
