Small wooden boats will also stop. In fact, the pier that the guests refer to is just a few steps extending into the river. It is a crowded place for two or three women squatting on the steps to wash and wash vegetables.
Wu Jiancheng had no idea about Hangzhou, so he had to ask the ship owner, "We should be within the ten city gates, right?"
The boat owner said: "This is the old city. Which side do we want to go to?"
Wu Jiancheng had no choice but to say: "Where is the front?"
The boat owner said: "The only way ahead is Yanguan Lane."
Wu Jiancheng immediately said: "Okay, I'll go to Yanguan Lane."
He turned back and quietly gestured to several brothers, indicating that they should disembark here.
3-18
Wu Jiancheng and his four brothers got off the boat and looked around and found Yanguan Lane. There was a sign at the entrance of the alley.
They walked along Yanguan Lane, that is, to the west, looking around and looking for a suitable place to stay.
This is the old city after all. Yanguan Lane is extremely narrow, with old wooden structures on both sides. Most of them have tiles, but some have black straw roofs. They have been exposed to the sun and rain for many years.
On the top of the head are bamboo poles threaded back and forth, drying colorful clothes, just like setting up a pergola.
Even though the houses on the street are so old and dilapidated, the pedestrians of all kinds who are jostling and joking loudly are all well-dressed, with clean shoes and hats, as if their families are very wealthy.
Wu Jiancheng remembered what Qiao Yanfang once said: "Shanghai Ning, you are not afraid of your home being burned down, but you are afraid of falling on the road!"
Since Hangzhou is so close to Shanghai, I'm afraid it's the same trend.
3-19
Wu Jiancheng and his four brothers moved forward and backward, separated to the left and right, and walked along Yanguan Lane for a short distance until they found a suitable shelter. In the north of the street, there was a small restaurant called "Sheng Ke Lai".
The hotel is on the second floor and looks pretty good. Diagonally across the street to the south, there is a small inn called "Zhonghe", which seems to be a little worse in appearance.
Wu Jiancheng and Wang Luofeng stayed at the "Sheng Ke Lai". The other three brothers stayed at the "Zhonghe" inn diagonally opposite.
When they moved in and saw each other, they were very happy. They could see each other through the windows and hear each other's shouts. If anything happened, they could take care of each other.
After settling in, Wu Jiancheng and Wang Luofeng left the small hotel and looked for a phone number to contact people at Hangzhou Station.
3-20
Soon, Wu Jiancheng found a small post office at the entrance of Yanguan Lane.
The small post office is very small, with only one telephone room inside. If he wants to contact people at Hangzhou Station, it is best to do so in the telephone room!
He dialed the number and waited for about half a minute before someone picked up the phone.
"Hello, who is this?" the person on the phone asked casually.
"Hello Mr. He, are you ready with the money?" Wu Jiancheng asked equally casually.
According to the agreement, after he said this, the other party should say: "Oh, Boss Li, please give me a few more days of grace." In this way, they have received the code. Then, they can discuss the next task with each other.
.
But the person on the phone said: "I'm sorry, please wait a moment."
Wu Jiancheng thought for a moment and realized that this was reasonable. The person who answered the phone probably didn't know the password and didn't know how to answer, so he had to ask. So, he had to wait.
About a minute later, the person over there picked up the phone again and said, "Sir, I asked, the money is ready, just come and get it. Sir, when will you come over?"
Wu Jiancheng understood that there must be something wrong on the other side of the phone! In fact, the person on the other side of the phone might have set a trap and was waiting for him to come in!
He smiled and said: "Okay, okay. I have something to do tonight, and I have to go early. I said, tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, I will definitely come to your place, do you think it's okay?
?”
The person on the phone said: "Can't you come today? Boss He may have other matters tomorrow."
Wu Jiancheng laughed and said, "Just tell him to wait for me. I will be there at ten o'clock! It's settled! See you tomorrow!"
When he put down the phone, his face darkened.
There must be something wrong with the people at Hangzhou Station! This is first. Secondly, without the help of Hangzhou Station, his task would not be completed! Therefore, he must not let this matter go by like this!
He looked around, found the phone book on the shelf under the phone booth, and flipped through the pages.
This phone book had been torn up quite a bit and was even messily drawn. But luckily, he found the number he had just called on the last page of the phone book! The person who owes his hand
If he tears out one more page, he won't be able to find it!
The location of this phone is: No. 21 Taimiao Lane, Zhonghe Street. The owner of this phone is "Longjiang Silk and Ma Trading Company". Wu Jiancheng understands that this should be the contact station of Hangzhou Station!
He took out the map from his bag and looked at it. The map was really simple, and many streets and lanes were not marked with names at all! Fortunately, Yanguan Lane and Taimiao Lane were both on the map, and they were not too far apart.
From the map, coming out of the east entrance of Yanguan Lane is Zhonghe Street. Less than a mile to the north is Taimiao Lane.
Without thinking too much, Wu Jiancheng immediately took Wang Luofeng out of the small post office and walked to Zhonghe Street.
3-21
Wu Jiancheng quickly arrived at Taimiao Lane. Once here, he and Wang Luofeng had to be careful!
There is no Taimiao Temple in Taimiao Lane. There are only a large number of dilapidated and old simple houses in front of you, chaotically crowded together. Several narrow alleys are winding and interspersed among them, which is confusing, and you almost wonder whether they can be used!
Longjiang silk and hemp trading house is located in one of the tiled houses, and its name is written on the wall next to the door.
When Wu Jiancheng and Wang Luofeng saw the sign of Longjiang Silk and Hemp Trading Company, they did not dare to go any further. No one knew what was going on nearby! If there was a trap inside the trading house, there might be people from them outside!
They were leaning against the wall, just like two idlers chatting, but their eyes were carefully observing the surroundings, looking for any signs of suspiciousness.
At this time, Wang Luofeng quietly touched Wu Jiancheng and motioned to look into a small teahouse across the street.
It was a bit dark in the small teahouse. It took Wu Jiancheng a while to see clearly. There was a girl sitting at the table inside the door, drinking tea. Only when he paid more attention did he see that the girl's eyes had been staring at Longjiang Trading Company!
Wu Jiancheng could see it, her face and eyes were not kind!
Wu Jiancheng looked around again and found no other unusual people. This was a bit strange!
If this girl is the person who was arranged outside the trap, why is she a girl, and she is the only one! Secondly, she always stares at Longjiang Trading Company, which seems wrong. She should pay attention to the surrounding area!
Wu Jiancheng observed this girl carefully, and couldn't tell anything except that she had short shoulder-length hair, a pair of big black eyes, seemed to be very tall, and must be quite strong, let alone what she was.
people!
The girl raised the tea cup in front of her eyes with both hands, as if she was looking at the tea leaves in the cup. But her big dark eyes were staring at Longjiang Trading Company motionlessly!
Wu Jiancheng could see at this point that she was definitely not part of the trap! If there were Japanese military police or plainclothes agents in the trading house, she was not one of them!
Still the same question, who is she! Is she from Hangzhou station? Why is she staring outside!
3-22
About ten minutes later, something unexpected happened suddenly! Wu Jiancheng almost didn't react!
At this time, three people came out of the business. The middle one was wearing an old suit, like a clerk. But the people walking on both sides of him could be seen by everyone as plainclothes agents! They had rifles hanging sideways on their bodies!
They came out of the business, looked around, and walked towards Zhonghe Street.
Wu Jiancheng suddenly saw the girl who had been sitting in the teahouse drinking tea put down her tea cup and quickly walked out. She also looked around and suddenly rushed behind the three people.
Wu Jiancheng suddenly saw her pull out a pistol from her waist, pointed it forward, and shouted: "Tian Jiagui, look back!"
As soon as the man in a suit in front turned around, the gun in the girl's hand went off! The man raised his head and fell backwards!
The two plainclothes men hurriedly pulled out their rifles, quickly loaded the bullets, and shot at the girl.
The girl obviously completed her mission, turned around and ran, shooting back and rushing towards the alley.
The plainclothes agent's shell gun fired like a machine gun, very violently, constantly exploding clouds of smoke and dust around the girl. Although the girl was strong, she was very flexible and kept leaning on corners or trees to shoot back.
The two plainclothes men had to lie down on the ground and continue shooting!
Wu Jiancheng understood in an instant that the girl must be from Hangzhou Station! She was guarding here to kill the man in the suit! He waved to Wang Luofeng behind him, quickly pulled out his gun, and fired at the two
A plainclothes shooting!
Unexpectedly, three or four more people rushed out from the trading house and shot at Wu Jiancheng and Wu Jiancheng with their guns!
Wu Jiancheng saw the girl rushing into the alley and seemed to look back at him.
He didn't dare to fight, so he waved to Wang Luofeng behind him, turned around, got into another alley, and ran away.
The plainclothes agents also chased them into the alley. But Wu Jiancheng's marksmanship was really impressive. After knocking down two agents in a row, the agents behind him didn't dare to chase anymore, and just started shouting!
Finally, they saw that Wu Jiancheng and Wu Jiancheng had disappeared, so they had to turn back to rescue the injured person.
3-23
Wu Jiancheng and Wang Luofeng did not dare to go back directly to the "Shengkelai" hotel.
There is obviously something wrong at Hangzhou Station! The most likely possibility is that there is a traitor! The girl's purpose seems to be to get rid of the traitor! If there are other problems in Hangzhou City, he dare not say!
They circled the area to make sure there were no agents following them, and then returned to the hotel.
As soon as Wu Jiancheng entered the room, his mood became heavy. The current situation is that it is impossible to contact the people at Hangzhou Station! They only have a photo of mother and daughter. How can they complete this task? It can't be done
