Agents of the Republic of China

Lin Xiaotang ordered the driver to stop the car on the side of the road, Guo Zhui wanted to get out of the car, Lin Xiaotang waved his hand, indicating that he was waiting in the car, Lin Xiaotang put on a windbreaker, and walked towards Yuan Jianfeng's car.

Two dazzling headlights shone directly through the fog in the darkness to the location of Yuan Jianfeng's car. Yuan Jianfeng just raised his head to take a look, and continued to vomit as if no one else was around. It seems that he drank a lot tonight. Not a lot.

A middle-aged man behind him was staring at Lin Xiaotang's figure firmly. Due to the illumination of the car lights, he still couldn't see the appearance of the comer clearly, so he could only maintain enough vigilance.

Lin Xiaotang approached and glanced at the middle-aged man, "Are you Zheng Jin?"

Zheng Jin didn't speak, but at this moment he also saw the face of the visitor, and instead became more vigilant.

Lin Xiaotang took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, lit a cigarette in front of Zheng Jin, "Relax, I'm passing by here, just want to chat with your boss, don't be so nervous."

Zheng Jin wanted to say something, but Yuan Jianfeng straightened up, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "Brother Jin, it's okay, let's talk."

Zheng Jin had no choice but to get into the car.

Lin Xiaotang pointed his finger at the distance, his driver also turned off the lights, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness again. Fortunately, the moon came out of the clouds not long after, and only then did the autumn night feel clear.

"When did you come back?" Lin Xiaotang helped Yuan Jianfeng light a cigarette.

Yuan Jianfeng cleared his throat, spit out several mouthfuls of thick phlegm, and then started to smoke comfortably. "The day before yesterday, I rushed back after finishing Zhiping's funeral." Seeing Lin Xiaotang staring at him in a daze, Yuan Jianfeng explained: "I have no friends with Zhiping anymore, Zhiping's funeral It was also very simple, only a few of her relatives attended, so it didn't take too long."

There was a wordless silence.

After a while, Lin Xiaotang said, "What's your plan next?"

Yuan Jianfeng shook his head, "I don't know, but we have to save our lives first." He suddenly laughed at himself, "Zhuang Chongxian is about to take over, and he will definitely not let me go, I have to do something! "

"Still haven't thought about leaving?"

"Leave, how to leave? It's easy to say, there are a large group of people following me, what should I do with them after I leave? Besides..." Yuan Jianfeng paused, "Zhiping is gone, should I go?" Does it make any difference?"

"Don't be so pessimistic," Lin Xiaotang pointed to Zheng Jin who had been staring at the two of them in the car and said, "This Zheng Jin is indeed a talent, I guess he must have made plans for you, the current situation , It looks chaotic, but in fact there are many opportunities, Zhuang Chongxian may not be there, and you may not be sure to leave No. 76."

Yuan Jianfeng looked at Lin Xiaotang in surprise, but didn't speak.

Lin Xiaotang still put the cigarette butt on the ground, and stomped it hard with his foot a few times, "If you have a chance to stand up again this time, you should prepare your retreat well. I know that because of your vanity, you may not accept it." My help, but the situation has changed, the Japanese can't last long, don't wait to die on a tree!"

Yuan Jianfeng looked at Lin Xiaotang's leaving back, his eyes became deep and complicated.

After getting into the car, Zheng Jin hurriedly asked, "What did Lin Xiaotang tell you?"

"He said, you are a talent, you must have a way to get through this trouble in front of you!"

Hearing Yuan Jianfeng's answer, Zheng Jin was stunned for a moment, looking at the reappeared lights in the distance, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

……

Within two days, the pseudo-Nanjing government held a funeral for Li Shiqun. Although the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Rebellion was deliberately arranged by the Japanese and tried to block the real reason and process behind it, after all, the impact was here, so the scale of the funeral was also large. Poor little.Li Shiqun’s few remaining cronies who were captured by the Japanese army appeared at the funeral, including his wife Ye Jiqing and others. Wang Jingwei, who was far away in Japan, even sent a telegram of condolences, but the puppet government participated in the memorial ceremony. Chen Gongbo, who had just succeeded the leader of the puppet government, did not show up at all. Zhou Fohai and other powerful factions only sent wreaths and elegiac couplets.

Lin Xiaotang didn't plan to participate either. After fighting with Li Shiqun for so many years, he died without paying attention, and he had to go to the hypocritical cat to cry for a mouse. At this time, it was too late to celebrate, so there was no time to mourn for him.So, he entrusted Tang Shengming to send a wreath and couplets, just to express it.

But someone was one of them going to Nanjing to worship Li Shiqun.Lin Xiaotang had already forgotten about this person, but this person went straight to find Lin Xiaotang, saying that he wanted to go to Nanjing for a while.

This person is Gao Yingpei who was captured by Lin Xiaotang during the Shi Dan incident.

In the process of rescuing Shi Dan, although Gao Yingpei made Lin Xiaotang suffer a little, he was seriously injured and captured in the end. Lin Xiaotang loved his talent, so he didn't kill him, and hid him in the Ke Hua Hotel. After more than a month, he finally recovered.

This was also the first time Lin Xiaotang saw Gao Yingpei after he recovered.Although the whole person has lost a lot of weight, he is still huge in size, no less than Fatty Shen, but the extra scar on his chin just adds some toughness.

As soon as they met, Gao Yingpei directly bowed to Lin Xiaotang, thanking Lin Xiaotang for not killing him.Lin Xiaotang frowned, "Are you going to Nanjing?"

Gao Yingpei raised his head and nodded solemnly, "Yes, I'm going to pay homage to Director Li!"

"Do you know that after Shi Dan's incident, you have been included in the hunting list by No. 76. Even today, that hunting order has not been revoked. Ma Xiaotian blamed all of that failure on you. You Going to Nanjing at this time is like throwing yourself at Luo, Li Shiqun is gone, no one can protect you!"

Gao Yingpei straightened his back, "I know all this, but I still want to go to Nanjing!"

Lin Xiaotang couldn't help laughing, "I'm really surprised, what did Li Shiqun give you to make you work so hard for him!"

"My life was given by Director Li. Since I can no longer work for him, it is my duty to offer incense sticks to him. I should spend less paper money. If I don't go to Nanjing, I will never be able to hold my head up!"

Lin Xiaotang took out a stack of materials from the desk drawer, rummaged through them, and read aloud, "Gao Yingpei, from Fujian, returned from studying in Japan in the 18th year of the Republic of China, and joined the Party Affairs Investigation Section of the Central Organization Department (the predecessor of the Central Unification) , because of his close relationship with Ye Xiufeng, Xu Enzeng and Chen Lifu rejected him, and it was at that time that he met Li Shiqun."

"In the 21st year of the Republic of China, Li Shiqun was sent to Nanjing to hide because of his involvement in the assassination of Ma Shaowu, the head of the Shanghai District of the Central Government, but he disobeyed the order and diverted to Hong Kong, wanting to seek refuge with Wang Jingwei. And you are in China at this time Tong Hong Kong Station, because he was suspected of secretly contacting Li Shiqun, he was chased and killed by Zhongtong, Li Shiqun rescued you, and you have been following him since then!"

Lin Xiaotang finished reading the outline of the information in his hand, and said with a smile: "Is the information accurate?"

Gao Yingpei's face didn't change much, but he felt relieved, "It seems that Director Li and I are right, you are indeed from Chongqing!"

Lin Xiaotang smiled, "It doesn't matter what kind of person I am, but since I saved your life, it's not you who decides now."

Gao Yingpei is not an idiot, he immediately heard the meaning behind Lin Xiaotang's words, and became a little anxious, "I just want to go to Nanjing to pay homage to Director Li and do my best, that's all, I will come back immediately after finishing the work, this life It's yours!"

Lin Xiaotang stood up and waved his hand at Gao Yingpei, "You have misunderstood me. It is human nature for you to pay homage to Li Shiqun. I will not stop you, and I have no intention of taking your life. It's just that I have a question. It’s not very clear, I need you to answer my questions.”

"What's the problem?" Gao Yingpei was stunned.

"You stayed in Japan for a total of seven years. Your experience after graduating from Tokyo University is not shown in the data. I checked from Chongqing and found a very interesting piece of information. It turns out that after you graduated, you actually You have already joined the Zhongtong, but you were directly under Ye Xiufeng's order and disappeared for two years. What I want to ask is, where have you been these two years?"

Gao Yingpei's face turned pale, "You actually found out about this!"

Lin Xiaotang signaled Gao Yingpei to sit down, poured him another cup of tea, and told him to relax as much as possible. "You majored in history at the University of Tokyo, with excellent grades, and won scholarships from the school year after year. However, because you are Chinese, you have been questioned in school. During this period, you joined the student organization controlled by the Central Committee, and you You have been appreciated and valued by Ye Xiufeng. Let me guess now, you disappeared for the past two years because you were ordered by Ye Xiufeng to hide in an unknown place and secretly received professional training from intelligence personnel. At that time, domestic intelligence agencies had just started to be established, let alone any training institutions, so I thought, you probably received special training in Japan, right?"

After Lin Xiaotang finished speaking, Gao Yingpei's chubby face was covered with sweat. He took a deep look at Lin Xiaotang, "You're right, I did receive special training at the secret spy school in Kobe."

Lin Xiaotang patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, you don't have to be so nervous, these things can be easily deduced. I didn't come here to stop you from worshiping Li Shiqun. I just hope you can go secretly. Nanjing, after the guarantee is completed, it will be fine to evacuate safely."

Gao Yingpei couldn't believe it.

Lin Xiaotang continued: "Next, you have two choices. One, hide your name, I will arrange for you to spend your whole life in a place where no one knows you; two..."

Lin Xiaotang suddenly smiled, turned around and walked to the desk, and wrote a note. "You don't need to rush to make a decision. When things in Nanjing are over, you might as well go to Beiping to relax and find this person at this address. At that time, he will give you another choice. What to do, you decide for yourself!"
