"I do my duty honestly, but I don't often go to the Taoist temple..." Rong Yun pondered Su Chende's words thoughtfully.
Soon, his eyes lit up, "Director, I understand what you mean."
Honesty and duty are an illusion whose purpose is to confuse the outside world and not attract attention.
Since you are doing your duty honestly but are often away from the Taoist temple, what are you doing?
"Director, I'm going to investigate right away." Rong Yun said.
"This is just my guess, just a possibility." Su Chende said, "Just like the machine cleaning you mentioned, we need to check it carefully."
"clear."
…
Chongming Island.
In the teachers' dormitory of Chongming Primary School, the arithmetic teacher Shen Ziqi was cooking porridge. His eyes looked at the door from time to time.
"Teacher, teacher." A half-grown boy ran in shouting.
"I was looking for you just now, where have you been?" Shen Ziqi tapped the half-year-old boy's head with a wooden spoon and said angrily, "You are not active in eating, how can you be active in anything?"
"Let's eat and play." Du Ziqiang touched the beaten head and said with a smile.
"Okay, go wash your hands and get ready to eat." Shen Ziqi said.
As he spoke, he muttered something about Fengshada, walked over and closed the dormitory door.
"Teacher, Captain Li asked me to give it to you." Du Ziqiang took off his tattered hat, took out a piece of paper rolled into a twig shape and handed it to the teacher.
Shen Ziqi took the note and winked at Du Ziqiang. The young man immediately brought a bowl of porridge and stood guard at the door.
The few words on the note were clearly visible, and Shen Ziqi frowned.
Just this morning, a small steamer arrived at the pier, and more than 40 people disembarked from the small steamer, including families and children, as well as armed guards.
Preliminary information obtained through inquiring is that a young master and young mistress from a wealthy family in Shanghai came to the island with their family members to protect them.
Shen Ziqi had reservations about this situation. With the war in chaos and the Japanese and puppet troops stationed on the island, who would be so full and bold as to visit Chongming?
This situation also attracted the attention of Li Xuanqi, captain of the Second Squadron of the Chongming County People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Corps. After all, among the more than 40 people, more than 30 were powerful men, and almost all of them had guns.
He even saw two people carrying a light machine gun. This was a powerful military force.
This note from Li Xuanqi was to ask comrades from the underground party on the island to investigate the origins of this group of people, just in case.
Shen Ziqi understood Comrade Li Xuanqi's worries. The information sent by comrades on the inside showed that the enemy was already planning a new round of raids against the anti-Japanese armed forces on Chongming Island. It was possible that the enemy secretly increased its troops in the name of this so-called family escort.
.
Chongming Island fell in March last year. More than a thousand Japanese invaders, divided into two warships, landed and invaded Chongming under the cover of five aircraft.
Since the day of the fall, the people on the island have spontaneously launched an anti-Japanese struggle.
Chen Qingyao, the county magistrate of Chongming County, unified these local anti-Japanese armed forces and unified them under the Kuomintang's "People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces".
However, Chen Qingyao later went into exile in Haimen and had no intention of returning to Chongming, let alone sending capable generals back to Chongming to take command. Therefore, the various anti-Japanese armed forces on the island were actually in a leaderless and independent state. Instead, they were divided by the Japanese and puppet troops.
Break.
Until July and August last year, our party established an anti-Japanese brigade of more than 300 people in Chongming. Later, the underground party of the Red Party further united the scattered anti-Japanese teams in Chongming to form the "Chongming County People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Corps."
Moreover, in order to implement the Communist Party's anti-Japanese national united front, the commander-in-chief of "Chongzong" was served as the "exile county magistrate" Chen Qingyao.
In this way, under the leadership of the Red Party, "Chongzong" was truly unified and continued to grow. It now has an anti-Japanese brigade, two independent squadrons and a standing squadron. The total strength once reached more than 500 people.
The island launched an arduous struggle with the Japanese and puppet troops.
However, Chongming Island faces the river on three sides and is close to the sea on one side. The island is long and narrow. The space for the anti-Japanese guerrillas to move around is limited. It is easy for them to be in a dilemma and be attacked from both sides. Coupled with the continuous "mopping up" by the Japanese and puppet troops after occupying Chongming Island, the
The war of resistance faced many difficulties.
Under this severe struggle situation, General Chongming is particularly vigilant and worried about the new round of raids that the enemy may launch on Chongming Island.
…
"I told you a long time ago that we can do it by ourselves. You must mobilize the troops to follow us." He Xuelin applied medicated oil to the back of Xiao Zhizhi's neck and said distressedly.
"How can my nephew feel relieved when the war is in chaos?" Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "Besides, wasn't it just a mosquito bite..."
Seeing He Xuelin's glare, Cheng Qianfan quickly shut up and muttered, "What time of year it is, and there are still mosquitoes."
Bai Ruolan was braiding Xiaobao's hair. When she saw this, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Master, you are the only one who can control him now."
"What? He still dares to bully you?" He Xuelin said with a smile, "If Qianfan dares to bully you, tell your wife, she will take care of him."
"I'm not in the mood to complain." Cheng Qianfan said angrily, and before He Xuelin was about to continue preaching, he hurriedly walked away, "I'm going to see what delicious food Zhou Ru makes."
Seeing Cheng Qianfan running away, He Xuelin and Bai Ruolan also looked at each other and smiled.
…
In the kitchen.
Zhou Ru was cleaning up the small yellow croakers quickly.
The small yellow croaker was bought from the fishermen at the pier. Xiaobao likes to eat fried small yellow croaker.
"master."
"Hmm." Cheng Qianfan nodded. He gently closed the door, walked to the window sill, observed the situation outside, and then nodded towards Zhou Ru.
"This is the sixth time Chongqing has called, urging the team leader to contact Chongqing," Zhou Ru said.
After returning from Nanjing, Cheng Qianfan has still not taken the initiative to send telegrams to Chongqing. During this period, he only received telegrams and never responded. However, Chongqing was obviously very anxious and sent telegrams one after another.
Master He Xuelin's maternal grandfather was from Chongming Island. Tomorrow is the death anniversary of the old man. Cheng Qianfan took the opportunity to escort Master He Xuelin to Chongming to worship, and brought a large number of people to Chongming. He happened to use this place to communicate with Chongqing by telegram.
"It is basically certain that there is no radio search equipment on the island." Cheng Qianfan said in a low voice.
Chongming Island is isolated and isolated, which is indeed a good place for convenient reporting and communication. However, we must first rule out that the Japanese army on the island has radio wave search equipment. Otherwise, when the radio station here is turned on, it will almost look like lice on a bald man's head.
"Team leader, I still think it's too risky." Zhou Ru said.
In her opinion, even driving a car to send a report in the suburbs of the French Concession is safer than sending a report in a place with obvious directions like an island.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Zhou Ru. He could understand Zhou Ru. Zhou Ru psychologically preferred a familiar environment to be the safest. In a sense, there was nothing wrong with Zhou Ru's idea.
However, Cheng Qianfan had a very bad intuition recently. He always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the French Concession, and he did not dare to take risks in the concession.
This visit to Chongming Island was completely impromptu, and the possibility that the enemy would set a trap for him on Chongming Island was extremely slim.
According to what he learned from within the Special High School, the enemy's radio wave search equipment is currently limited to urban Shanghai. Chongming Island, far away from Shanghai, does not have such equipment.
What's more, he has already prepared plans to deal with unexpected situations.
…
No. 19, Luojiawan, Chongqing.
Office of the Deputy Director of the Military Command Bureau.
Dai Chunfeng looked gloomy.
According to the information he had, Cheng Qianfan should have returned to Shanghai from Nanjing.
However, despite repeated calls from Chongqing, there was still no reply from the Shanghai special situation team.
This made Dai Chunfeng worried.
"Boss, from what I see, Xiao Mian has not contacted us. It must be because the time is not ripe." Qi Wu said, "Boss knows his character and has always put safety as his top priority."
"Of course I know this." Dai Chunfeng said, "It's just that I haven't contacted the special situation team for a day, and I feel very anxious."
"No news is the best news." Qi Wu said.
When Dai Chunfeng heard this, he nodded noncommittally.
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
Mao Shun opened the door and came in, holding a folder in his hand, "Bureau seat, Shanghai Secret Telegraph."
Dai Chunfeng's expression moved slightly.
Qi Wu quickly took the folder from Mao Shun's hand, opened it, and just glanced at it. The joy between his eyebrows flashed, but he calmly waved his hand towards Mao Shun.
After Mao Shun left, Qi Wu said to Dai Chunfeng with an excited face, "Secretary, Xiao Mian is calling."
"Really?" Dai Chunfeng was overjoyed. He took the telegram from Qi Wu's hand and glanced at the secret rhyme of the telegram. It turned out to be a secret message from the special intelligence team. He let out a long breath and said happily, "Translate the telegram."
"Yes." Qi Wu was about to leave and go to his office to get the code book to translate the message, but he saw that Dai Chunfeng had already opened the safe, took out another code book, and handed it to him, "It's right here."
"yes."
…
This is a long telegram.
Dai Chunfeng finished reading, put down the message in his hand, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"As expected of Xiao Mian, it must be Xiao Mian." Dai Chunfeng nodded frequently.
Cheng Qianfan first reported the incident in Nanjing in the message.
Thanks to this cable, many things that had been invisible until now were finally understood.
For example, the death of Okada Toshihiko, the director of the Mei Agency's Secretariat, and the secret information about Tong Xueyong and Tang Wenlao from the Secret Service Headquarters being judged by No. 76 to be Chongqing elements.
Although Cheng Qianfan has not yet figured out the truth here, with Cheng Qianfan's first-person report on related events, many clues can be connected.
"What do you think?" Dai Chunfeng asked Qi Wu.
"Looking at it now, the Suhu District side of the Central Government has indeed been secretly connected with Tong Xueyong for a long time." Qi Wu thought.
Xiao Mian reported the disappearance of Tong Xueyong's daughter in the call, which is enough to show that the Central Government had already taken action.
"Unexpectedly, Xue Yingzhen got an advantage." Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly, feeling even more angry about Qin Wenming's "lying about military information" in the Nanjing District of the Military Command.
"Secretary, Xiao Mian reported that Wang Chuanhai intends to serve as President of the Executive Yuan as well..." Qi Wu said.
"It's the pseudo-Executive Yuan." Dai Chunfeng corrected him with a sinister look on his face.
"Yes, the pseudo-Executive Yuan." Qi Wu said quickly, "As soon as Vice President Wang gains power, he will cling to it."
"It's extremely ridiculous to be wearing a crown while bathing in monkeys." Dai Chunfeng sneered.
"Xiao Mian mentioned that Chu Mingyu intends to invite him to Nanjing. What is the bureau's opinion?" Qi Wu thought.
"This matter has pros and cons." Dai Chunfeng thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.
Qi Wu nodded slightly. There are indeed pros and cons. The French Concession is Xiao Mian's territory. In the words of the Red Party, this is the base of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group and must not be abandoned. However, if a new situation can be opened in Nanjing, it will be quite a success.
For tempting.
"This matter still needs careful consideration." Dai Chunfeng was also undecided for a while.
He pointed to the telegram, "As for the 'Sickle Project' this guy mentioned, you and Zheng Weilong should discuss it and cooperate well."
"Yes." Qi Wu nodded, he looked hesitant, "About his identity..."
"The identity is absolutely confidential." Dai Chunfeng said without hesitation, "According to the previous plan, Zheng Weilong was asked to win over this 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' from Shanghai."
"Understood."
"By the way, prepare a telegram without making any mistakes." Dai Chunfeng warned.
"yes."
…
Cangyun Temple.
"Thank you, Taoist priest." Rong Yun thanked a Taoist priest, returned to Su Chende, and handed over the 'talisman' he had just asked for, "Sir, the Taoist priest said that this thing can bring good luck and avoid disaster."
If you are fierce, choose the best."
"That person is Qingji?" Su Chende asked in a low voice.
"Exactly." Rong Yun nodded, "This person is the direct disciple of Taoist Master Cangyun. He is the most active in the temple and often expresses his desire to avenge his master."
"Then why is there no Liguan?" Su Chende asked.
"It is said that Old Taoist Cangyun entrusted the Taoist temple to him before his death, asking him to take good care of him. This man has been unable to escape because of the Taoist temple." Rong Yun said.
When Su Chende heard this, he nodded noncommittally.
"Director, according to your instructions, my subordinates sent someone to make friends with a pilgrim who often comes to this Taoist temple. According to what the pilgrim said, there is indeed such a Taoist priest in the Taoist temple. He is usually responsible, but he lives in seclusion.
He often doesn't show up for ten days and a half," Rong Yun said.
"But what's so special about this person's identity?" Su Chende was moved in his heart and asked.
"Director Ming Ming." Rong Yun nodded, "This Taoist priest's Taoist name is Yun Kong. According to what the pilgrim said, this person is actually a direct disciple of Cangyun Lao Dao. It can even be said that this person is closely related to Cangyun Lao Dao.
The closeness of the relationship is better than the clearing of the machine."
Hearing Rong Yun's words, Su Chende was overjoyed and nodded frequently, "This is interesting."
"Tell me more about this Yunkong."
"Yunkong is an orphan. It is said that he was raised by the old Taoist Cangyun." Rong Yun said, "It is said that this Taoist priest's lay name has the character "yun". As for his surname, it is not known. It is precisely because of this character "yun",
Old Taoist Cangyun said that the orphan was destined to him and gave him the Taoist name of Yun Kong."
