Chapter two hundred and ninety sixth gongs and drums
After listening to Kitano Xiong Er's explanation, Li Yunsheng was very excited. If there was a channel for smuggling materials to the Kuomintang-controlled areas, the value would be great. After all, the current National Government has to outsource many things.
After thinking for a while, Li Yunsheng said: "You should learn more about it and see what the situation is. And I estimate that even if the garrison turns a blind eye to smuggling, it will not allow everything to be smuggled."
Kitano Xiong Er nodded, and then the three of them communicated again, and Li Yunsheng turned around and left.
Early the next morning, Li Yunsheng went out again and came to Liu Qing's home as agreed.
Seeing that Li Yunsheng had indeed arrived, Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of relaxation appeared on her cold face.
However, Liu Zhongyi, who was sitting next to him, looked a little unhappy, and looked at Liu Qing with helpless eyes.
The expressions on the father and daughter's faces led Li Yunsheng to guess that Liu Zhongyi definitely didn't want Liu Qing to join the army, but there was probably no way to stop him. After all, the children had no control over their children, and parents could not control their children at any time.
Under this situation, Li Yunsheng could only speak first: "Uncle Liu, Xiaoqing must join the army. I have no choice but to delay it for a week. I plan to let you and your daughter discuss it. I wonder if you have persuaded her to give up this idea."
idea."
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Liu Zhongyi sighed and said helplessly: "This girl is determined and even gave me an ultimatum. If I don't agree, she will sneak out. There is nothing I can do.
, you can only ask her to join the army with you, so that you can still have some protection."
Glancing at Liu Qing, Li Yunsheng said softly: "Uncle Liu, I think so too, and that's why I agreed to let Xiao Qing join the army."
In front of Liu Qing, neither of them said anything explicitly, but some words were tacitly understood. After all, if Liu Qing joins the military command, Li Yunsheng can take care of her, so the risk will be minimized.
After having a casual meal at Liu's house, Li Yunsheng took Liu Qing back to his residence in the French Concession and opened a new room.
Liu Qing was a little surprised to see Li Yunsheng living here. After entering the room, she asked, "Why do you live here?"
"Is there anything strange about me living here?"
"This is a public place. As agents, shouldn't you be hiding?"
Hearing Liu Qing's words, Li Yunsheng smiled and said: "Not many people know me in the French Concession, and no one would have thought that the spy chief of the National Government would live here. In this case, wouldn't I be more...
Safety."
This is why Li Yunsheng chose to stay in a hotel, and there is a phone in the hotel. If anything happens, his subordinates in Tianjin can contact him in time.
Liu Qing thought about it carefully and felt that what Li Yunsheng said made sense. After all, the Japanese would not have thought that an agent would openly live in a hotel in the concession.
After passing by for a while, Liu Qing asked: "What can I do to make you want to live here in the future?"
Li Yunsheng nodded and said firmly: "You can live here. Of course, you can also choose to go home occasionally."
After that, Xu Bing was called and introduced to the two of them.
When the two women met, they were both a little surprised. Liu Qing did not expect that there would be such a beautiful woman beside Li Yunsheng, and this woman was also an agent.
And Xu Bing didn't know that Li Yunsheng had a fiancée, so he was a little jealous of Liu Qing. After all, he had been in contact with Li Yunsheng for a long time, so he would naturally have some ideas.
But Xu Bing was a professional agent after all. Even though he was a little jealous, his expression did not change, and he even shook hands with Liu Qing enthusiastically.
Li Yunsheng didn't notice anything unusual, so he asked Xu Bing to give Liu Qing some basic skills as an agent, and then asked the two of them to go back to their rooms.
After the two people left, Li Yunsheng began to think about how to understand the situation of Haiguang Temple. After all, the antiques looted by the Japanese from all over North China were stored there. But now that he knew nothing about the situation inside, how to do it?
.
I also thought that Haiguang Temple was the Tianjin garrison headquarters. Although there were not many garrison troops inside, the security must be very strict, which gave me a headache.
After thinking for a while, Li Yunsheng made a phone call and then went out alone.
Half an hour later, Li Yunsheng appeared at Paramount and met Meng Dong.
"How is the situation over at Haiguang Temple?"
"The situation there was normal. There was always a convoy coming every few days. But because it was a military station, it needed a lot of living supplies and other items, and my people didn't dare to get close. I don't know where.
There’s a fleet of antiques in it.”
Hearing that Li Yunsheng asked this question as soon as they met, Meng Dong immediately answered, but his tone was a little cautious, after all, he had not found out the situation clearly.
This situation put Li Yunsheng in a bit of a dilemma. After all, he couldn't understand the situation inside Haiguang Temple. Moreover, it was a military station and it was common for convoys to come and go. It was impossible to determine how many antiques had been robbed by the Japanese.
However, the Japanese looted several carts of antiques from the Shanxi area. The collection in other places will definitely not be less than in Shanxi. By some estimation, there will be at least a dozen carts of antiques in Haiguang Temple. Such a large area
It is troublesome to pile up precious items and transport them away.
After thinking for a while, Li Yunsheng said: "We can't go on like this. Please make arrangements to inform major newspapers that Japan is looting our antiques and make this matter public."
Li Yunsheng made this decision out of helplessness. He knew too little about Haiguang Temple now, and it was not easy to pay attention to the antiques inside, so he could only make the information public in case it was lost.
If we take action, China's losses will be smaller.
As for why he didn't make it public as soon as he discovered it, Li Yunsheng also had his own considerations. After all, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, a civil war would break out. In this war, many things would be destroyed by the flames of war.
So Li Yunsheng planned to borrow the help of the Japanese to collect these things and give them to New China when the war is over.
But as time went on, Li Yunsheng felt that the chance of getting all the antiques back became smaller and smaller, so he decided to make the matter public so that the people in North China would know about it, and they would naturally protect their own.
Things, as for what happens in the future, I can’t control it now.
Hearing that Li Yunsheng wanted to make the matter public, Meng Dong was a little surprised. After all, the previous plan was for the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind, but now he changed his plan, so he asked: "District Chief, if I make this matter public now, I'm afraid it will
I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to take advantage of these antiques if we try to scare them away."
Li Yunsheng said calmly: "There are always more solutions than difficulties. Don't worry, I will have my own idea when the time comes."
As for how to seize this batch of antiques from the Japanese, Li Yunsheng had already had an idea, and he still used the old method of digging tunnels to rob these antiques.
As for the publicity of this matter, Li Yunsheng is not worried about whether it will alert others, because these things are stored in the military garrison, and the Japanese would never think that someone would dare to attack the military garrison.
However, if there were a large number of antiques, it would be troublesome to move them, not to mention having to transport them away from the Japanese military garrison, so Li Yunsheng changed his mind.
As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Meng Dong immediately said: "My subordinates will do this tonight. I guarantee that all the major newspapers in the concession will report it tomorrow morning."
Li Yunsheng spoke again: "We must continue to keep an eye on the Haiguang Temple side, but don't let the Japanese discover it."
Meng Dong nodded, and then the two discussed some details. They felt that there was no problem, and Li Yunsheng left.
After leaving Paramount, Li Yunsheng went directly to the vicinity of Haiguang Temple to check the situation.
However, the changes in the Haiguang Temple area are not small. Many buildings were rebuilt from scratch, which surprised Li Yunsheng.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yunsheng understood that this place must have been destroyed by the war. After all, when the war broke out, the Nationalist Government troops attacked here.
Li Yunsheng had stayed in Tianjin for a while, so he was very familiar with everything in Tianjin. Even though there had been great changes here, he quickly found his destination.
Since Haiguang Temple is a Japanese military base, Li Yunsheng was very careful and observed the situation far away from Haiguang Temple.
After observing for a while, Li Yunsheng frowned a little, because the current Haiguang Temple was surrounded by high walls and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
He was worried that someone would notice him if he stayed nearby for a long time, so after ten minutes, Li Yunsheng returned to his residence, then picked up the phone and made a call.
Half an hour later, Zhang Hao appeared in front of Li Yunsheng in a suit.
"District Chief, I'm here."
Li Yunsheng nodded and said softly: "Take the Qian family and his son to observe the terrain of Haiguang Temple in the next few days to see if there is any chance of digging a tunnel in."
Zhang Hao asked seriously: "Are we going to take action?"
"Yes, the Japanese must have collected a lot of antiques now, and the people watching outside can't figure out the number of these things, so we can't delay it any longer."
Zhang Hao immediately said: "District Chief, even if we successfully dig the tunnel, there are a lot of things in Haiguang Temple. If we want to remove them all, I'm afraid it will require a lot of manpower. And after we get it, where will we store these things?"
.”
Li Yunsheng said calmly: "We have a lot of manpower, and we can all dispatch them when the time comes. As for these things, I roughly estimated that there will be at least a dozen vehicles. However, these things are not heavy and will not be very troublesome to transport, so
We will first find a secluded place to store them, and then transport them into the concession."
Zhang Hao frowned and said: "District Chief, once Haiguang Temple is stolen, I'm afraid the Japanese will find out soon, and they will definitely conduct a large-scale search by then. We don't have much time, how can we find a safe place."
Li Yunsheng thought for a while and then said: "We will discuss this later. Now let's determine how long it will take to dig a tunnel into Haiguang Temple. When we have the exact answer, we will think about the next plan."
Zhang Hao felt that this was also true, so he didn't say more, then asked a few more questions, then turned and left.
