Chapter 98: Old Ji Fuzhen (Thanks to the third leader of the alliance!)
After Old Man Geng settled his "subordinates", he ran over in a hurry, looked at Geng Chaozhong, and asked expectantly: "Is there a mission from above?"
"No, I have nothing to do to come and see you." As Geng Chaozhong spoke, he carefully looked at the old man Geng who hadn't seen him for a month. This old guy was quite plump and plump. It seems that the food at the Jici Courtyard of Yenching University was good.
"Oh," Old Geng had a look of disappointment on his face and sighed: "I am so powerful that I can conquer the world, but the times are unfavorable and my talents will never fade away."
"Pfft!" Geng Chaozhong almost laughed out loud. This old man used to tell fortunes at Beiping Tianqiao, and he had listened to a lot of Farewell My Concubine's storytelling.
"Why are you laughing?" Old Man Geng was dissatisfied. "I am also a member of the Secret Service. You won't really leave me here to retire, will you?"
"No, no," Geng Chaozhong shook his head quickly, "Now is the time to employ people, even a rag has its use."
Old Man Geng was furious and held it in for a long time before asking:
"How is the settlement going? Is there any movement from the Japanese side? When will you give me the mission?"
"It's safe for now, but I don't have enough manpower right now, so I need your help to open a grocery store near Mafengwo Alley," Geng Chaozhong said.
"Hornet's Nest Alley?" Old Man Geng blinked, "It seems quite remote over there!"
"Well, not far from Mafengwo Alley is the Japanese military police station, and the special higher education course is also there now." Geng Chaozhong said.
"Understood!" Old Geng's eyes showed excitement.
Geng Chaozhong smiled slightly, took out a money bag from his arms and handed it over, whispering:
"This is two hundred yuan, which is more than enough to open a grocery store. You go over and look around, buy some goods, tidy up, and settle down as soon as possible. Don't forget to find the telephone exchange to follow up. That place is very important. People who usually make phone calls
Quite a few, please bring more snacks."
"Understood." Old Man Geng took the money bag, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Ji Tzu Yuan in the distance.
Geng Chaozhong followed his gaze and found that old man Geng was staring at a few old ladies sitting under the tree. He didn't know who he was looking at.
"Why, you're used to staying in the orphanage and you can't bear to leave?" Geng Chaozhong said with a smile.
"No." Old Geng blushed and shook his head.
Geng Chaozhong saw this and knew that this guy was old and had a crush on an old lady. He didn't point it out at the moment and said sternly:
"By the way, you can't keep an eye on your grocery store by yourself, and you have to keep an eye on whatever you do when you go out. Let's do this. Find an old lady from the orphanage to join you, and you two pretend to be an old couple.
She usually does your laundry, cooks meals, etc., so she can take care of you without arousing suspicion."
"This, that's not good." Old Geng couldn't help but feel joy on his face.
"What's wrong? The old ladies in the orphanage are dull and stupid, so why are you afraid that they will reveal something? Besides, this is also a good deed and a good thing!" Geng Chaozhong said.
"Okay, then I'll find one." Old Man Geng agreed repeatedly.
"Well, I'll talk to the director of the orphanage later. Just pack your things and wait with peace of mind." Geng Chaozhong waved his hand.
After settling down Old Geng, it was already twelve o'clock at noon. Geng Chaozhong frowned, walked out of Yenching University, and came to Wang Jianqiu's residence.
This is a small warehouse with a small area of just over 100 square meters. It was bought by Wang Jianqiu and Xie Yan who first came to Peking to cover their identities. When Geng Chaozhong arrived, Wang Jianqiu was cooking in the back room, and the room was full of smoke.
Xie Yan, Zhao Lijun and the other two guys were all staying in the outer room, each holding a deck of Pai Gow, gathering people to gamble.
Geng Chaozhong frowned. On the day Zhao Lijun was arrested, Wang Jianqiu found the remaining two people from Zhao Lijun's side, and they are now settled here.
When Xie Yan saw Geng Chaozhong come in, he threw down the Pai Gow and stood up, saying hello: "Brother Six, you're here!"
Wang Jianqiu and the two brothers also stood up and greeted Geng Chaozhong.
"Well, Xiao Kuang and Xiao Liu, how are you two brothers these days?" Geng Chaozhong looked at the two people left behind by Zhao Lijun.
"Fortunately, thank you Sixth Brother for taking me in!" The two brothers bowed again and again, with a bit of uneasiness in their eyes.
In the past, when they followed Zhao Lijun, they often spoke ill of Geng Chaozhong, but now that Zhao Lijun has died, they have all become homeless ghosts. Now is the most helpless time.
"My brothers all deserve it," Geng Chaozhong waved his hand, "Why, have you considered whether to go back to Nanjing or stay here with me?"
"Think it over, let's follow Brother Six and avenge Brother Zhao!" The two agents replied in unison.
"Yes, you are ambitious!" Geng Chaozhong nodded with satisfaction, "Follow me, nothing else, but the Japanese will definitely kill you!"
"I know from my humble position that Sixth Brother's team has always killed the most Japanese in the department. We are willing to follow Sixth Brother! From now on, everything will be obeyed by Sixth Brother!" The two people quickly expressed their loyalty.
"Well," Geng Chaozhong nodded, took out a money bag from his arms and threw it over. He nodded and said: "Everyone has been frightened these days. This is the first month's allowance for the sixth group, but you are not allowed to spend it. First
Send it back to my hometown to my parents. If I know who didn’t send it, it’s easy to handle. Get out of Group Six as soon as possible!”
"Understood!" The two of them pinched their money bags, both showing a bit of joy.
In fact, everyone in the department knows that Sixth Brother has always been like this. All brothers’ salaries must be sent back to their hometown in the first month, and the second month is considered theirs. But Sixth Brother has always been kind and righteous. As long as he sends the money back, the first
Brother Six will be responsible for all the meals for the month.
Geng Chaozhong nodded, pointed to Wang Jianqiu next to him and said:
"Okay, you two will follow Wang Jianqiu first, follow his instructions in everything, and work hard. There will be a day when you can avenge your brother Zhao!"
"I understand your humble position!" The two men saluted Geng Chaozhong.
Nodding, Geng Chaozhong winked at Wang Jianqiu, and Wang Jianqiu quickly followed.
"Brother Six, Nanjing still doesn't plan to send people over?" Wang Jianqiu asked.
"Nothing happened." Geng Chaozhong shook his head.
"Sixth brother, you don't do things like this!" Wang Jianqiu's face showed a bit of bitterness, "We brothers can only take care of this area of Yanda. If we want to cover the entire Peiping, we will definitely ignore the head.
.Think about the fact that before Station Master Wang, there were at least forty people, and the few of us are not even enough!"
Geng Chaozhong said nothing.
Wang Jianqiu was right, now was indeed the time to employ people, otherwise he would not have taken out a guy like Old Man Geng who was about to be buried to do tasks.
Among the people under him, Qiu Yue is now in charge of telecommunications and operations, and has to take care of Yun Wei's single line of communication, while Wang Jianqiu and Xie Yan are in charge of transportation, operations, and intelligence, and have a hand in everything big and small. As for himself, assassination
, gathering information, making traffic contacts, doing everything. It can be said that everyone wears multiple hats. If this continues, no one will be able to keep up.
Therefore, it was a last resort for Old Man Geng to open a shop near Mafengwo Alley and take over the job of covering and contacting Yun Wei.
But until now, Geng Chaozhong still doesn't know what Virgo is thinking. He said that he was appointed as the acting station director of Peking Station, but the manpower is always not available. How can a city like Peiping have five or six people?
