Agents of the Republic of China

A dinner party was always spent in a strange atmosphere. Li Shiqun held his own special teacup and didn't even pour a sip of water in Gangcun, but he was always in good spirits, and he was the one who talked loudly from the beginning to the end.When Gangcun changed the topic to the conflict between Xiong Jiandong and the two of them, Li Shiqun waved his hand in a rare and magnanimous way, expressing that they met each other with a smile to end their grievances, and also sincerely apologized to Xiong Jiandong, which made Xiong Jiandong and his wife and Gang The village didn't recall it for a long time.

On the contrary, Xia Haoming toasted frequently, and he never refused the toasts from Xiong Jiandong and Gangcun, and until the end of the banquet, his black face remained unchanged, making Gangcun and Xiong Jiandong secretly speechless.

Gangcun and Xiong Jiandong exchanged glances, nodded to his wife, Mrs. Gangcun stood up, went to the kitchen and brought out a plate.

Gangcun looked at Li Shiqun and said: "Minister Li, since the misunderstanding with Commander Xiong has been resolved, my goal has been achieved today. It's just that you have never tasted your wife's craftsmanship when you came to the house. This is very disappointing. I'm sorry. This beef patty has been prepared since yesterday afternoon, and it is also the flavor of our hometown, so please use some of it!"

A few pieces of fried beef patties were placed on the plate, and the aroma was overflowing. Li Shiqun's face gradually became sullen. He stared at these beef patties for a while, and when he raised his head, his face had already changed into a warm smile.

"In normal times, I would definitely give His Excellency Gangcun a face, but today, I, Li Shiqun, am no longer just living for myself. There are tens of thousands of brothers in the Police Department and No. 76 who need my care, so."Li Shiqun stood up and buttoned his suit. "I can only refuse your kindness!"

Li Shiqun deliberately emphasized the word "good intentions".

The faces of Gangcun and Xiong Jiandong suddenly darkened, "Minister Li, what do you mean?"

Li Shiqun smiled, "Everyone agrees, Shiqun is sorry, I will offend you two!"

Xiao Yicheng stood behind Li Shiqun somewhat unnaturally.While staring at him, Xia Haoming opened the wooden door and whistled into the night.

Immediately, more than a dozen black shadows jumped over the wall of Gangcun's house.

Xiong Jiandong's wife and Gangcun's wife couldn't help screaming, but then they stopped abruptly, because the black muzzles in the hands of a dozen or so shadows who came were already aimed at them, and the sharp knives in their hands were also dripping with blood. It kept dripping down.

Gangcun's face was livid, and he stared straight at Li Shiqun, "Minister Li, are you going to kill us?"

Li Shiqun took out a handkerchief, picked up a piece of beef patty, put it to his nose and smelled it, "It smells so good! I just don't know what seasoning is added to it?"

As he said, he handed the beef patty in front of Xiao Yicheng, "It seems really good, would you like a piece!"

Xiao Yicheng's face was pale, and he tried to force a smile, but he didn't dare to pick up the beef pie.

Li Shiqun smiled coldly, threw the beef patties on the ground, and walked up to Xiong Jiandong, "Commander Xiong, the misunderstanding between you and me was only caused by Cao Zibai and Cao Bingsheng and his son (Note [-]). To tell you the truth, Cao Zibai and Cao Bingsheng They all died at the hands of Ding Mocun. It has nothing to do with me. The specific executor is Xiao Yicheng in front of you. You know what I am, Li Shiqun, and I will not deny what I did, but if anyone wants to hold the shit pot on me In the head, that is also impossible!"

Xiao Yicheng's body suddenly trembled, and he tried to run, but two men in black had already supported him, one on the left and one on the right.

Li Shiqun took out a pistol from his pocket and handed it to Xiong Jiandong, "I know you have been wanting to avenge the Cao family and his son for so many years, and now, the enemy is right in front of you!"

Xiong Jiandong was stunned on the spot for a moment. It is true that he really wanted to avenge his two confidantes who died that year, but now the situation was completely controlled by Li Shiqun. He didn't know how Li Shiqun got the Japanese to use this dinner As for the news of poisoning Qi, it is not clear whether what Li Shiqun said is true or not, but it seems that he has no other choice at present.

Xiong Jiandong looked at Gangcun for help, and the muscles on Gangcun's face trembled uncontrollably, "Li Shiqun, you should know the consequences of doing this!"

Li Shiqun nodded calmly, "Your Excellency Gangcun, I don't know whose order you are following, but I am not willing to just stand still like this, but please rest assured, I will not hurt everyone!"

Li Shiqun turned his face to Xiong Jiandong, "Commander Xiong, don't you want to make a move?" Xia Haoming and several men in black pointed their muzzles at Xiong Jiandong instantly.

Xiong Jiandong had no choice but to raise his pistol.Xiao Yicheng hurriedly yelled: "Commander Xiong, Li Shiqun is talking nonsense, I am Minister Ding's man, we are on the same boat!"

"I don't have much time!" Li Shiqun said grimly.

Xiong Jiandong gritted his teeth, and pulled the trigger on Xiao Yicheng's chest. After two gunshots, Xiao Yicheng collapsed to the ground.

Xia Haoming snatched Xiong Jiandong's pistol.Xiong Jiandong sat down slumped.

Li Shiqun smiled and clapped his hands at Gang Village and Xiong Jiandong, "I'm sorry, but I will use your place to punish a house thief. Shiqun will leave now, and you and your wife will have to suffer some grievances. Please rest assured that tomorrow morning, there will be someone Come save you all!"

……

Immediately, Lin Xiaotang received a report from Lin Huaibu about the changes in Nanjing.There are a large number of unidentified armed personnel mobilized in Nanjing City, who do not belong to any army or faction. They are all in black and have completely controlled the No. 76 Nanjing Station and the police force.The Japanese and the puppet army did not receive any warning, and have been standing still.

The Ministry of Linhuai also reported that Li Shiqun was invited to have a dinner at the home of the Gendarmerie Gangcun Commander this evening. At ten o’clock in the evening, something unusual happened near Gangcun’s home. No one survived the attack by the armed men in black.And there seemed to be two gunshots from Gangcun's house.

Afterwards, Li Shiqun led a dozen of his men, hurriedly boarded the car that had been prepared, and left the city quickly.There are people in black to protect and support them along the way, and people from Lin Huai's department are not allowed to approach.

After leaving the city, the team of hundreds of people suddenly divided into several small groups, and rushed away in all directions. Lin Huai's hastily dispatched no suitable manpower to track it down, and the clues were cut off at this time.

After receiving the report from Lin Huaibu, Lin Xiaotang put on his clothes and stood up.Apparently, conflicts between Li Shiqun, the Japanese and the opposition within the puppet government have broken out. Li Shiqun is obviously planning to escape from Nanjing. Needless to say, his next destination is the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and it may also be the Huaibei area. These two places There are henchmen and troops who have been arranged by him in advance.

Lin Xiaotang did not expect the situation to develop so quickly. Tang Shengming from Jiangsu has not been in office for a long time. Although he has reorganized part of the rescue troops and controlled some territories, compared with Li Shiqun's power, there is still a big gap , It will not be able to turn things around at all.If Li Shiqun returns to his territory at this time and raises his arms, the situation may deteriorate again.

Lin Xiaotang immediately called for Shang Zhensheng, his brain trustee.Shang Zhensheng's opinion is the same as Lin Xiaotang's, that is to immediately activate all intelligence points and personnel in the occupied area, and no matter what, find out Li Shiqun's whereabouts and prevent him from returning to the territory.In addition, through other channels, Ding Mocun, Zhou Fohai and others inside the puppet government can be reminded that they, like the Japanese, must be afraid of Li Shiqun returning to Jiangsu, Zhejiang or Anhui, and will definitely go all out to find his whereabouts.

This night was destined to be chaotic and frightening, and many people were unable to sleep peacefully.

……

"Is it possible for Li Shiqun to come to Shanghai?" Yazawa Shinichi yawned and asked Yuan Jianfeng and Nanzo Yunzi who were drinking strong tea.

"According to normal reasoning, the possibility is unlikely, but Li Shiqun is not a guy who can speculate based on the factory! He has been working in the intelligence world for so many years, and there is no way he has so many methods!" Yuan Jianfeng replied.After Li Shiqun's accident, Yuan Jianfeng felt the most relaxed.Li Shiqun has always put great pressure on Yuan Jianfeng, this time when Li Shiqun fell, Yuan Jianfeng immediately thought of what Lin Xiaotang said before, and an inexplicable excitement rushed into his heart.

"Li Shiqun's departure this time did not blatantly split from the Nanjing government, but came out in the name of inspection by the police department. Chairman Wang neither agreed nor refuted this point. Therefore, he is still a puppet government now. The senior officials are not fugitives or traitors. Therefore, the order of the dispatched army headquarters is to secretly arrest and not attract too much attention. Even if there is an exchange of fire, it should be as low-key as possible. In other words... ..." Yazawa Shinichi lowered his hand vigorously, "That is, we must not leave any traces or traces alive!"

"Then what about Ma Xiaotian? He is Li Shiqun's old subordinate. Since Li Shiqun can put him in this position, he must have a lot of trust in him. The Secret Service Headquarters still has a lot of resources. Once they fully support Li Shiqun, the situation in Shanghai will be greatly reduced." I'm afraid it may not develop as we expected!" Yuan Jianfeng looked worried.

"The gendarmerie and the garrison have received the same order, and will immediately launch a city-wide search operation. All traffic in and out of Shanghai will be heavily guarded, including waterways, land and sea. But to be honest, it is unlikely that Li Shiqun will come to Shanghai Da, at this time, he will only retreat towards his own territory, after all, Chongqing also hates him to the bone, so there is no reason for him to go there!" Nan Zao Yunzi interjected.

While talking, an officer came to report that Chen Gongbo, acting mayor of Shanghai, was missing.

The three people in the room were all taken aback for a long time, but they didn't expect that Chen Gongbo would have anything to do with Li Shiqun's matter.

Yazawa Shinichi had no choice but to order the subordinates of Super Gaoke and Yuan Jianfeng to closely monitor the movements of the major forces in Shanghai, and at the same time cooperate with the Japanese garrison to find the whereabouts of Li Shiqun.

Note 76: Father and son Cao Zibai and Cao Bingsheng.He was born as a hooligan in the Shanghai Youth Gang and once worked as a scout in the French Concession Patrol House.When Xiong Jiandong was the commander of the "Imperial Association Army", he coveted the territory of Shanghai, and dispatched Cao Zibai and Cao Bingsheng father and son to sneak into Shanghai secretly, join No. 76, and fan the flames between Li Shiqun and Ding Mocun, hoping to start a fight between the two and achieve the effect of replacing them.But it caused Ding and Li to notice, and was later punished by No. [-] under family law.
