Telegrams came late at night
It was past 11 o'clock when Fang Cheng returned home, Old Lin was still asleep, still repairing the old little wooden chair, Fang Cheng knew that Old Lin was waiting for him to return.
"Old Lin, I haven't slept yet, let's go, let's have some supper." Fang Cheng put the bag on a chair in the hall hall and said to Old Lin, who was crouching on the ground.
Old Lin got up and followed Fang Cheng out of the door without a word.
Just arrived at the entrance of the alley, just happened to meet Wan Congzong returning from outside, wearing a patrol uniform, Fang Cheng also called him up.
There is a shop in Longtangkou that makes sweet rice mash, and it tastes good. Fang Cheng, Lao Lin and Wan Congzong came to a bowl and sat down at the low table.
"Old Wan, can you still adapt to it in the police station, from the captain of the operation to the patrolman, and your heart is lost?" Fang Cheng showed a rare smile.
"Don't you also change from director to manager, it's all for work, there is nothing to adapt to, everything is arranged by the organization." Wan Congzong did not look up, speaking very easily, and could not see what kind of change there was in his heart.
"I heard that the former chief of your police station was locked up?" Fang Cheng asked again.
"You are talking about Xu Changshan, who is locked up in our bureau, and it is estimated that someone in Nanjing is protecting him, and he is also hiding from the wind inside, and he will be released in a few days." Wan Congzong returned to the Tao.
"There's an opportunity to arrange for me to meet." Fang Cheng said carelessly.
Fang Cheng wanted to see Xu Changshan, and Wan Congzong muttered in his heart, What is the relationship between them? Is our mission related to Xu Changshan?
Wan Congzong had doubts in his heart, but he did not say it, and the organizational principles were clear to him. He replied: "Well, tomorrow night, I am on duty in the second half of the night, you can come to the police station to find me, the duty room is the old king who loves to drink, I prepared a bottle of good wine in advance, I guess he will fall asleep in the second half of the night." I arranged for you to go to see Xu Changshan, and if the patrol police asked you, you said that you had come to see Xu Changshan, and there were many people who visited him recently, and everyone was used to it. ”
The three of them ate the mash, paid for it, got up and left.
Back at home, I saw Qiu Yuefeng waiting at the door wearing a red coat, her eyes were full of anxiety, and when she saw that the three of them had returned, she immediately greeted them and said, "Yan'an emergency telegram." ”
After saying that, Qiu Yuefeng took out a piece of paper full of numbers from his pocket and gave it to Fang Cheng.
The password of this telegram was known only to Fang Cheng, the codebook had long been destroyed, and Fang Cheng, who had a strong memory, wrote all the passwords into his mind.
Fang Cheng took the telegram and looked at it, his face became heavy.
The telegram was sent by Minister Li himself, and the Chongqing military command had already sent people to Shanghai, and the main task was to receive the Emperor Taiji Sword.
The military commander was already in a hurry, and could not wait for Fang Cheng to send the Emperor Taiji Sword over, but sent someone to shanghai on his own initiative, and there were several pieces of information that made Fang Cheng feel very troubled: Dai Kasa's action was ahead of schedule; the whereabouts of Fang Cheng's four people had been exposed; who would be the military command agent sent to Shanghai?
Fang Cheng didn't say anything, let everyone rest separately, and went into the bedroom himself.
Qiu Yuefeng followed in, husband and wife for ten years, the relationship between the two is actually very delicate, as if between them is more of a comrade-in-arms, less of that romantic love.
"Old Fang, what does it mean that the organization arranged for us to go to Shanghai, and shouldn't we go to Chongqing?" Qiu Yuefeng asked, she knew in her heart that such an inquiry violated the principle of underground work in the organization, but she thought that she was Fang Cheng's wife, and this kind of inquiry was a private conversation between husband and wife.
"In Shanghai and in Chongqing, it is better not to conflict, but to do so." Fang Cheng replied carelessly, took off his clothes, turned around and lay down on the bed.
Qiu Yuefeng also slowly stripped off her clothes, turned around and slipped into the bed, showing a woman's characteristic smile on her face, Lao Fang was too tired and should serve him.
Qiu Yuefeng stretched out her snow-white arm from the bed and turned off the lamp on the bedside table.
Tong Baisong's identity
The next day, Fang Cheng got up very early and hurried out the door, and when she left, Qiu Yuefeng was still in bed, she was very tired and had not woken up.
Fang Cheng came to Jeffer Foreign Firm early, and Wang Meilan had been living in the small lounge on the second floor of the Foreign Firm, and the door was also opened early. Wang Meilan was surprised to see Fang Cheng come in, "Manager Fang, came so early?" Did you have breakfast? ”
Fang Cheng smiled and said, "I knew that Manager Wang must not have eaten breakfast yet, so he brought you some in the fritter shop at the intersection of Xiafei Road, come, and eat some together." ”
Fang Cheng carried a bag of fritters in his hand and placed them on the table.
Wang Meilan was not polite, first went to wash his hands, turned around and sat down to pick up a fritter and ate it. While eating, she said: "In recent days, I have been busy, there are too many foreign firms, and a few guys have taken leave, and the manager of the loss party has come." ”
"Didn't Boss Tong invite a few more people?" Business is so good, more manpower is the right thing to do. Fang Cheng answered her.
"How can Boss Tong see this bit of tea and satin business, and those who are busy making a hard time will make a lot of money." Wang Meilan said with a disdainful face.
"Hard money? Yesterday I looked at the statement, the profit is not low, although it is not as good as arms, tobacco, gold, silver, the income of the foreign firm for one year is enough for the child boss to spend ten years. Fang Cheng felt unconscious, although he knew that Boss Tong still had a lot of secret business that he didn't know, but Fang Cheng still wanted to get more information from Wang Meilan.
"Enough to spend ten years? You can think more, our child boss is a poor man, I don't know where he made so much money, this guy has gone several times, and he is not willing to recruit a few, I have followed him for 4 or 5 years, not to mention the salary increase, I almost want to marry me as an aunt, it is best not to pay the worker. Wang Meilan was a little angry when she said it, and she felt that she was too critical of Tong Baisong and was very resentful in her heart.
Fang Cheng was just about to speak when the door opened and Tong Baisong came in.
Tong Baisong who entered the door saw Fang Cheng and Wang Meilan eating fritters together, his face was a little displeased, Fang Cheng understood in his heart, this Tong Baisong must have taken a fancy to Wang Meilan, and the man's little thought is that a man will understand.
"Manager Fang, come up with me." Tong Baisong changed his face again and said to the other city with a smile on his face.
Fang Cheng immediately put down the fritters in his hand, pulled a piece of paper to wipe his mouth and hands, straightened out his suit, turned around and went upstairs with Tong Baisong.
In Tong Baisong's office, Tong Baisong and Fang Cheng sat on the sofa, and Tong Baisong let Wang Meilan make two cups of tea and send them up.
Tong Baisong spoke, "Manager Fang, I will go straight to the point and say it directly." Are you the Communist Party or the deputy director of the Manchurian Xinjing Police Department? ”
Tong Baisong is very direct, Fang Cheng's heart is actually prepared, his identity in Manchuria is too dazzling, Tong Baisong's Jeffer foreign business is all over the major cities in China, a telegram sent to Changchun, immediately can figure out Fang Cheng's information.
"Boss Tong, I just escaped, you know that the Japanese are finished, Manchuria is definitely finished, I want to save my life, what will I do?" Fang Cheng picked up the teacup and blew it.
"Didn't you get shot?" How to escape, your identity is the Communist Party! Tong Baisong stared at Fang Cheng deadly.
"Can I escape without being a Communist Party?" A deputy director of the Police Department, both the Kuomintang and the Communists will say that my hands are stained with the blood of the people, and even if I want to escape, I will stand in line. Fang Cheng replied carelessly.
Fang Cheng was gambling, and the gambling boy Bai Song did not know the inside story, he went to Changchun to inquire, and he could only get one information: Fang Cheng, deputy director of the Police Department, was an undercover agent who had entered the Police Department for the Communist Party and had been executed. Tong Baisong did not know whether Fang Cheng was really a Communist Party or whether he had escaped under the guise of being a Communist Party.
"Fang Cheng, you don't have to lie to me, we are all already Communists, and you are going to the Xinjing Police Department, is it the task given to you by the organization?" Tong Baisong also took up the teacup and took a sip.
"Old Joe, you are also the Communist Party, so am I, you were still considered a traitor by the Communist Party, are you?" Are you still? Fang Cheng asked rhetorically.
Tong Baisong did not speak, in this world, everyone is racking their brains for survival, a person's identity is ever-changing, no one knows whether he is a Communist Party today, tomorrow will be the Kuomintang, is he not an example, a hot-blooded young man thrown himself into the revolution, and even prepared to bleed his head, what now?
Tong Baisong had no strength in his heart to ask again, in the depths of his soul, there was always a kind of guilt and regret, why he did not insist on it in the first place, the only faith in his life was buried that night, but that faith never left him.
Fang Cheng saw that Tong Baisong was silent, and he fixed his heart, knowing that Tong Baisong's understanding of the situation was very limited, and what he needed now was to stabilize him, the person who came yesterday was very suspicious, it must be Japanese, what did he come to find Tong Baisong for?
Now in Shanghai, Japan is like a rat crossing the street, why would a well-dressed Japanese person come to Tong Baisong, Jeffer & Co. is a big trading company, holding large freighters all over Southeast Asia and the Americas, will it have anything to do with that gold?
Fang Cheng stood up and said to Tong Baisong, "Boss Tong, I will go down first, you don't have to think much, no matter what happened in the past, I just want to eat here with you, I have been shot in Changchun, even if something goes wrong in the future, it will not involve you." ”
Tong Baisong glanced at Fang Cheng, and wanted to stop talking.
Fang Cheng turned around and was just about to go out, Tong Baisong stopped him and said, "Fang Cheng, you must be careful, I heard that Tian Wenshui came to Shanghai, and the only people who know him alive are you and me, if he knows that we are now in Shanghai, we will be in danger. ”
Yan'an said that the military command sent people to Shanghai, and the second place of the military command, the red man of Dai Kasa, Tian Wenshui came.
Fate is always so interesting, more than ten years ago those few people gathered in Shanghai again, they changed their identities, with different purposes, from comrades to colleagues, into enemies, what the future holds, Fang Cheng does not know.
No matter how he wanted to see Xu Changshan today, Fang Cheng secretly said to himself that he was the key to opening a certain door.
Fang Cheng went downstairs, Wang Meilan greeted him, very mysteriously pulled Fang Cheng aside, and quietly said to Fang Cheng: "Did Boss Tong say that you were away from me?" ”
Fang Cheng looked at Wang Meilan's slightly shy face, smiled and said, "Boss Tong said it harshly, let me keep my distance from Miss Wang, he is very attentive to you." ”
Wang Meilan smiled, turned and ran away.
