437, but alarmed the person who should not be alarmed
Liu Yingui is not worried about anything, he is just worried about accidents! What happens unexpectedly is the scariest thing!
Tonight, he met Gao Zongwu at the International Hotel and wrote another check to him. Gao Zongwu said that he might stay in Shanghai for a few more days, waiting for news. But he felt that Mr. Gao
You may not be able to stay for a few days!
In this way, he should move his secret cargo to the cargo yard at Shiliupu Pier as soon as possible and prepare it for shipment at any time. When Mr. Gao really wants to leave, it will be very conspicuous if he brings the cargo to the cargo yard!
However, that is a goods yard! Anyone can enter! Including thieves, thieves and the like. If these people want to steal some goods and sell some wine money, but accidentally touch his goods, it will be terrible!
"Have you arranged the people?" he asked again.
"Yes, it has been arranged. Every day, two brothers will keep an eye on our goods inside and outside the goods yard. If they find someone trying to touch our goods, if there are few people, they will be driven away! If there are many people, just call me and I will send someone there!
"
These practices were actually what they had discussed repeatedly over the past two days.
Once this batch of goods is shipped to Wuhan, it can be sold for a sky-high price! Besides, he has already paid a huge price. Just renting a ship is not a small sum! He must ensure that this batch of goods reaches Wuhan safely!
The principles are the same all over the world, the greater the benefit, the greater the risk! But he must make a decision!
Liu Yingui hesitated again and again, and finally nodded to Cui Huai and said, "Okay, go ahead!"
Cui Huai turned around and whistled into the darkness. The door of the warehouse immediately opened quietly, and then a truck covered with tarpaulin drove out.
Cui Huai waved to Liu Yingui and got into the cab.
The truck drove out of the gate silently and soon disappeared into the dark street.
The surroundings became quiet again, as if nothing happened.
Liu Yingui looked at the direction in which the truck disappeared and stood for a few more minutes before going back.
He felt like his soul had been taken away by the truck!

After Cui Huai's truck crossed the Suzhou River, it drove southward. After that, it continued southward along Minguo Road and eastward on Longtan Road, finally arriving at the cargo yard at Shiliupu Wharf.
Cui Huai jumped off the truck and walked to the door of the cargo yard. A man walked out of the darkness and looked at him.
Cui Huai put a roll of money into his hand. The man turned around and opened the door, signaling Cui Huai's truck to drive in quickly.
The truck drove along the aisle and finally stopped in a remote corner.
Cui Huai jumped out of the truck and said hello, and a few more brothers jumped out of the truck. They looked around and started unloading.
They unloaded the boxes in an open space. This was something Cui Huai had already discussed with the cargo yard.
Although the boxes were smaller, they were still a bit heavy. Cui Huai told them to handle them with care. He knew that each box was worth five hundred yuan! One hundred and eighty boxes was worth ninety thousand yuan! This was a huge deal.
!
Another thing Cui Huai knew was that the goods pile next to it was purchased by a customer named Gao Zongwu!
Boss Liu's goods will be loaded on the same ship as Mr. Gao's goods, and then shipped to Wuhan!
The ship has been booked a long time ago and is parked at the nearby dock! But now is definitely not the time to load the ship! God knows whether the Japanese will inspect Mr. Gao’s goods!
Therefore, Mr. Gao’s goods cannot be shipped, and Boss Liu’s goods cannot be shipped either!
All the goods were finally unloaded, stacked neatly, covered with tarpaulins, and tied up with hemp ropes. It would at least be more troublesome for thieves or thieves to touch this batch of goods!
After unloading the goods, Cui Huai left two brothers behind and told them to go further away and secretly monitor the goods.
The two brothers nodded repeatedly to express their understanding.
Cui Huai looked around again. There was nothing unusual, so he got in the truck and left.
What Liu Yingui and Cui Huai never expected was that this secret operation would alarm the people who should least be alarmed!
Hong Shankui's two brothers were also secretly monitoring their goods! It was thirty boxes of goods! Not opium, but guns! A total of three hundred rifles! These are good guns with no faults at all! Hong Shankui's heart,
As long as these three hundred guns can be transported away, that's enough!
Hong Shankui's brothers worked in teams of two, taking turns to monitor the situation for several days. They were also worried about being robbed by thieves, and the thieves had tampered with their goods!
The two men were in the gap between the cargo piles and saw the whole process of Cui Huai unloading the goods. It was nothing to come to unload the goods at night. Maybe he was free at this time. But there were two people left over there, called
They were surprised.
They were secretly watching the two men. At least the two men were not thieves or thieves, which reassured them. They decided to wait until dawn when the shift changed before reporting to Hong Shankui.

Time passed quietly, and it was already the early morning of January 4, 1938.
But the night is not over yet.
At about two o'clock in the morning, Gong Binsheng, who lived in Peng Shaoyong's residence, was awakened by a gentle knock on the door.
He first touched the pistol under the pillow, and then thought that such a knock on the door would not be dangerous.
He put on his clothes and got out of bed and opened the door.
The telegraph operator standing outside the door whispered: "Sir, your telegram." Then handed him a piece of paper.
Gong Binsheng felt a little strange when he heard him say "your telegram". Then he saw that the telegram had not been translated, and then he realized that it was indeed a telegram to him.
There are two types of telegrams from the headquarters. One is for the Shanghai District. The telegraph operator will directly translate the telegram after copying it and then submit it to the commander. The other type is directly for him. The two telegrams have different passwords, so the telegraph operator
His telegram could not be translated.
Luo Jiang, who was sleeping on the bed opposite, had already put on his clothes and sat up, but he didn't ask anything and just looked at Gong Binsheng quietly.
Peng Shaoyong's residence is quite good. The only drawback is that there are fewer houses. Now that the Shanghai District has also moved in, it is even more crowded. Luo Jiang had to share a room with Gong Binsheng.
Gong Binsheng turned on the desk lamp, took out the code book from the pocket of his wallet, and then started to translate the message.
Translating telegrams is a very troublesome task. It took him ten minutes to finish translating the telegrams.
He read the telegram carefully. At first, he was a little surprised that this telegram was about the appointment and removal of the Shanghai District Governor, but it was sent to him. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that the first was to control the scope, and the second was to allow him to handle it properly.
He thought about it and the only way to deal with it properly was to show this telegram to Luo Jiang.
He said nothing, handed the telegram directly to Luo Jiang, and then looked at him silently.
Luo Jiang took the telegram and read it, and his expression became serious.
The message was extremely simple: "Gu Yaozong has taken over as the mayor of Shanghai. He will arrive in Zhenru tomorrow. Luo will return to Han today to report on his duties. It will be handled appropriately."
The content of this telegram is very clear. Luo Jiang has been removed from his post and his successor is Gu Yaozong. Secondly, Luo Jiang must return to the headquarters as soon as possible and accept investigation. The so-called "debriefing" is just a euphemism.
As a result, it is difficult to say what Luo Jiang's future fate will be.
They all know that Boss Dai is sometimes very harsh in dealing with dereliction of duty!
Luo Jiang's dereliction of duty should be considered very serious! The interrogation results of Ma Yuanbiao confirmed that he had been a traitor to the Japanese for at least a year! Luo Jiang was not aware of it, and it was discovered by the agents below! This is indeed true
This is a serious dereliction of duty!
Gong Binsheng said softly: "Brother Luo, have you noticed the last two words?"
Luo Jiang raised his head and stared at him, his voice a little angry, "I should be telling you that! Comfort the people in Shanghai! Isn't it? The telegram was sent to you!"
Gong Binsheng still said softly: "Brother Luo, I am also telling you. Please be careful and treat this matter correctly. If you handle it well, there may be a time to make a comeback in the future."
Luo Jiang read the telegram carefully, and he couldn't help but admit that Gong Binsheng might be right. At least, there was no harsh reprimand in the telegram. This was very rare.
He nodded and whispered: "I understand, I will handle it appropriately, please don't worry."
What they have to do next is what must be done "properly".
Gong Binsheng first woke up Peng Shaoyong. The first thing was to convey to him the order of the headquarters. The second thing was to ask him to prepare and go with him to Zhenru Station to pick him up tomorrow afternoon.
What Peng Shaoyong has to do next is to quietly wake up the main personnel of the brigade, convey Boss Dai's instructions, and do a good job of comforting the people below.
When Peng Shaoyong stood up to leave, he still asked: "Sir, are you familiar with this Chief Gu?"
Gong Binsheng understood that this was also one of the things Peng Shaoyong wanted to convey to the following, so he said: "I am not very familiar with him personally, I have only met him a few times. I heard that he is very capable and is a person that Boss Dai trusts. He
He was from the first phase of Huangpu. He had done organizational work in the Lixingshe Huangpu Alumni Association, and had also served as the head of the Communist Party of China Headquarters. Before I came to Shanghai, he had just been transferred back to the headquarters from Peiping District. Everyone thought he would serve as the head of the headquarters.
Unexpectedly, he is now in Shanghai for an important position. Like Brother Luo, he also has the rank of colonel. On the outside, he looks very elegant. However, appearances can be deceiving. Brother Shao Yong, are these enough?"
Peng Shaoyong saluted him gratefully and said, "Thank you, sir." Then he went out.
Gong Binsheng looked back at Luo Jiang and said sincerely: "Brother Luo, you must deal with it properly, especially after you return."
Luo Jiang nodded to him and said, "I understand, thank you."

It was getting brighter, and there was some movement in the quiet pawn lane.
Fu Xuelan got up first. She is a doctor, and she is most concerned about the sick and injured people in the station.
She washed her face and combed her hair in the cold and dim kitchen. After tidying up, she went to see Han Dan first.
Although Han Dan was a soldier, she was actually just a girl and had never been on the battlefield. It was still a bit scary to have such a big heavy machine gun bullet hit her shoulder.
Fu Xuelan walked to her bunk and saw her face pale and staring out the window with cold eyes.
"How is it? Does it hurt?" she asked softly.
She turned back and stared at Fu Xuelan motionless, but what she said was: "Sister, I hate you so much!"
