Although Qin Li vowed that if Ma Keming rebelled, there would be a way to silence him, but Jiang Xinyu didn't want to leave his fate in the hands of others, so it was best to control the direction of the whole thing himself.
On the other hand, for Ma Keming, he was directly involved in the assassination of Gao Yuebao. He was just an ordinary military operative. Being involved in such a serious incident, he had no capital to be betrayed.
In other words, the Japanese are willing to recruit a big shot like Zeng Che, but they are unlikely to be interested in Ma Keming. Once the truth of the matter is found out, no matter what the process is, what awaits him in the end will definitely be a Type 38 rifle bullet!
Ma Keming had a brain, so of course he would have thought of this. His only way out was to refuse to admit that he was a military agent. Even if he died, he would at least have a reputation of being loyal and courageous for the country and the people.
After learning that many members of the underground party had been arrested, Jiang Xinyu had a bold idea. He was considering whether there was a chance to rescue these comrades. If he did not rescue them, most of them would be executed.
Today I unexpectedly met Wang Xueqi, which made Jiang Xinyu feel very strange. A person who should have stayed away from the Japanese chose to live closest to the gendarmerie. What on earth was he going to do?
No. 13, Plum Blossom Lane, where the gendarmerie is stationed, was originally the Wang family's house. After decades of renovation and renovation, it has reached its current size. Wang Xueqi's appearance in Plum Blossom Lane gave Jiang Xinyu an intuition. Perhaps the second son of the Wang family
Young Master may be a breakthrough...
"Second Young Master, if you are really in trouble, I won't force you. Just take care of yourself and say goodbye!" Jiang Xinyu stood up and made a gesture to walk out.
Wang Xueqi stopped him quickly and said: "Officer Jiang... Oh, no, Captain Jiang, please stay. It's not that I don't trust you. This matter is of great importance... However, it's not impossible to tell you..."
"Second Young Master, you can't tell him!" As soon as the door opened, the third child walked in.
Wang Xueqi smiled apologetically at Jiang Xinyu, pulled the third child aside, and whispered: "We have been in Yanjin for more than a month, and we can't even get within ten meters of the gendarmerie. Without outside help, I think it's impossible.
…”
"But he is a traitor, so you are not afraid of him reporting to the Japanese..."
Lao San is one of those people who is born with a loud voice. Even if he deliberately lowered his voice, Jiang Xinyu could still hear him clearly.
Wang Xueqi hesitated again and again, and finally made up his mind, saying: "If he really wants to report, he doesn't have to wait until today. The matter is settled like this! It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided. It's just a gamble!"
Wang Xueqi turned around and said: "Captain Jiang, if you are really willing to help me, I will definitely thank you deeply when the job is done!"
Jiang Xinyu lit a cigarette and said calmly: "Whether we want to help or not, let's talk first."
Wang Xueqi said solemnly: "Before I say anything, I hope you can make a vow to keep this secret no matter what the circumstances!"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "To be honest, you still don't believe me."
Wang Xueqi hurriedly defended: "No, no, no, don't misunderstand me. It's the same thing. It's really a matter of great importance, so I have to be more cautious."
Jiang Xinyu sighed in his heart. The second son of the Wang family was too young after all. Since the matter was so important, how could he expect a so-called poisonous oath to restrain human greed?
"Okay, if I tell anyone the secret, just call me...Second Young Master, why did you say that oath?"
"It's impossible to die without being struck by lightning." Wang Xueqi reminded him seriously.
"What a vicious oath..." After Jiang Xinyu stopped laughing, he put on a serious face and said, "If I tell anyone the secret, I will be struck by lightning and die!"
The third child also breathed a sigh of relief. In addition to contracts written in black and white, people in this era believe in these kinds of oaths the most, especially people with a certain status. Speaking from their mouths is more credible.
high.
Wang Xueqi sighed and said: "This matter starts from ten years ago. At that time, our Wang family's business was getting bigger and bigger. You should have heard that Yanjin was not peaceful at that time, and bandits were everywhere.
, of course it’s not much better now…”
Jiang Xinyu smoked a cigarette and listened quietly.
Wang Xueqi went on to say: "Wang's tree was a big draw, and after being robbed several times, he started to buy guns and hire guards one after another to heighten and thicken the surrounding walls. However, he still felt that it was not safe, so my father built a tunnel..."
Jiang Xinyu's heart moved and he couldn't help but said: "Tunnel? The tunnel built under your house?"
"Yes. Every time the bandits came, my father led the guards to resist desperately and waited for government reinforcements. In order to prevent the bandits from rushing in, the Wang family, young and old, hid in the tunnel with their valuables and waited until it was completely safe outside before coming out."
"Mr. Wang, aren't you afraid that bandits will rush in and force those nursing homes to reveal the entrance to the tunnel?"
"My father thought of this. Only the Wang family knows about the tunnel, and even if there is an emergency, you can still escape from the tunnel. The tunnel exit leads directly to Huaishugou. Oh, Huaishugou has been transformed into a gendarmerie.
execution ground."
Jiang Xinyu roughly calculated the distance in his mind and said: "It is five or six hundred meters from No. 13 Meihua Lane to Huaishugou. Such a large project will definitely require a lot of people. How can we ensure that no one knows the secret of the tunnel?
?”
Wang Xueqi smiled and said: "Actually, the tunnel was transformed from sewers. Plum Blossom Lane was originally an American concession. The sewers built by the Americans were half a meter square. My father and a few trusted people just built a tunnel inside.
, so that people don’t walk out in mud and water, the only place where they can really treat others is the size of this room.”
Jiang Xinyu nodded and said: "This makes sense. Transforming the sewer into a tunnel will significantly reduce the amount of work. It does not require too many people. As long as there is time, three or five people can complete it."
Jiang Xinyu looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was extremely happy. He had been thinking hard but couldn't find any solution. When he met Wang Xueqi, he actually solved the biggest problem in minutes!
"When the Japanese army attacked the city, there was heavy artillery fire. For safety reasons, my father asked us to hide in the tunnel. I was so bored that when I went in, I rummaged around in my parents' bedroom, trying to find something interesting to bring in.
, accidentally dug out a small iron box, and no matter who it was, he wrapped it in a coat and took it into the tunnel."
The third child sighed helplessly at the side: "You are so bored now, but it doesn't matter, half of your husband's family property is just gone."
Wang Xueqi said with some embarrassment: "If I don't say that a huge fortune is not worth a prodigal son, I will be the prodigal son of the Wang family!"
The third child comforted him and said, "You were still young at that time, and you have a child's mind. I can't blame you."
Jiang Xinyu heard this interestingly and said, "So, the iron boxes are filled with gold, silver and jewelry?"
Wang Xueqi shook his head and said: "How much are gold and silver jewelry worth? It was only later that I found out that the iron box contained the crown of King Qin!"
Jiang Xinyu was secretly surprised and said: "Li Shimin, King of Qin?"
"Yes, when Li Yuan, the great ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, made Li Shimin the King of Qin, he also gave him a purple gold crown, made of pure gold, with a colorful chicken-blood-red night pearl inlaid in the middle!"
