Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 388: The First Round of High-End Game (2)

When Zhang Anping was telling Lao Cen about the first phase of the plan, Xu Baichuan, dressed as a "fashionable" businessman, appeared on Huage Nickel Road in the French Concession.

The subordinate pointed to a place not far away and whispered, "District Chief, Zhan Zhenshan lives there."

Xu Baichuan slowly took off his hat, looked around and asked, "Are you sure there's someone in there?"

"inside."

"Wait for me here!"

Leaving his men behind, Xu Baichuan, holding his walking stick, walked slowly towards Zhan Zhenshan's residence.

Because Du Yuesheng's Du Mansion is located at No. 180 Huage Ni Road, many members of the Green Gang would choose to settle down in this large area after they became successful. Zhan Zhenshan, who was known as Du Yuesheng's apprentice, naturally settled down here as well.

After the fall of Shanghai, Du Yuesheng left Shanghai. In order to establish his image, Zhan Zhenshan pretended to take the initiative to take on the task of maintaining Du Mansion, and gained considerable reputation in the Green Gang.

Zhan Zhenshan was captured and released by the Japanese, and Zhang Anping took this opportunity to confirm his reputation as a Japanese collaborator. However, Zhan Zhenshan was very patient and spent nearly a year using various means to wash away this stigma.

The most representative example is that some time ago, he risked his life to protect several passionate students who were captured by the Japanese.

But the truth was, among the seven or eight students he was protecting, one was a legitimate Japanese spy, and another was a traitor who had committed several crimes - the Shanghai district that was keeping an eye on him had no choice but to ruin his plan, but Zhan Zhenshan also used this opportunity to completely clear his reputation as a traitor.

The main reason why Zhang Anping did not deal with him was because he was Du Yuesheng's apprentice. If he rashly eliminated him, it would only cause a backlash from the Qing Gang.

It would be fine if he didn't wash away his reputation as a traitor, but now that he has washed away his reputation as a traitor, of course he has to cut it off with one knife!
This is also the reason why Zhang Anping asked Xu Baichuan to find Zhan Zhenshan first.

Xu Baichuan, who claimed to be Zhang Anping's thigh pendant, was naturally not a real pendant. At this time, he broke into Zhan Zhenshan's camp alone.

At the door, Zhan Zhenshan's men stopped Xu Baichuan:
"Mr. Pan?"

This is the Qing Gang's nickname, which comes from the meaning of "going out with the surname Pan" - going out with the surname Pan means that you are a member of the Qing Gang. (The founder of the Qing Gang is Pan Qianweng.)
Of course, this is just the simplest inquiries. If you agree, there will be a series of inquiries with hidden inquiries to verify your identity.

Xu Baichuan was naturally aware of these incisions, but he did not confront them. Instead, he said politely, "Please inform Mr. Zhan that I came from the southwest to visit Mr. Zhan. I have no intention of pretending to be a member of the gang."

The Qing Gang member guarding the gate looked at Xu Baichuan:
"southwest?"

Obviously, he didn't react.

Xu Baichuan said softly:

"Yu, mountain city."

The man finally reacted and looked at Xu Baichuan suspiciously. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Wait a minute!"

After saying a few words to his companions, the man rushed into the house at high speed. After a while, Zhan Zhenshan, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, hurried out of the house with his men.

"Sir, please come in! Your subordinates don't know the rules and are being disrespectful to you!"

Zhan Zhenshan's attitude was very enthusiastic.

Xu Baichuan thought to himself: Do you feel like a fat sheep has come to your door?
By the way, he could really understand Zhan Zhenshan's "enthusiasm". Just think about it, as a Japanese, he lived in Northeast China since childhood and was brought up completely according to Chinese customs. After arriving in Shanghai, he took great efforts to become the apprentice of Du Yuesheng, one of the three tycoons.

The results of it?
When Shanghai fell, it should have been his time to show his skills, but he was arrested due to a mistake made by his own people. After being released, he was inexplicably labeled a traitor. It took him nearly a year to finally "prove" his innocence, and finally the "distinguished guest" came to visit him.

How can I not be enthusiastic at this time?!
Xu Baichuan nodded reservedly, and after a polite word, he entered accompanied by Zhan Zhenshan.

The bureaucratic flavor made Zhan Zhenshan ecstatic. Yes, it was this flavor, definitely from Chongqing!

Accompanied by Zhan Zhenshan, he came to the living room. After Zhan Zhenshan dismissed his attendants, he asked, "Sir, are you coming from the southwest?"

Xu Baichuan nodded and introduced himself: "My name is Xu Wenju, I work for Mr. Dai. I just arrived in Shanghai. I heard that Mr. Zhan is a man of great integrity, so I came to visit him."

"I can't even call him a man of great righteousness." Zhan Zhenshan was ecstatic.

The one who wears spring breeze!
People from the Military Control Commission!

He suppressed his excitement and forced himself to calm down quickly - this person claimed to be from the Military Control Commission, was it true?
If it is true, what is the point?
If it is false, what's the point?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he said: "The predecessor (my master) and Mr. Dai are sworn brothers. Since you and I are the elders (peers call each other the elders), I will speak frankly - since Mr. Xu has come to Shanghai, he must have an important mission, right? Do you need help?"

"Mr. Zhan is a straightforward person, so I won't hesitate to do that." Xu Baichuan's expression became serious, and he said:
"Hengshe, it seems that there is a conflict with my Military Control Shanghai Division?"

Hengshe was founded by Du Yuesheng.

In essence, it is a gang organization belonging to the Qing Gang, but the purpose of Hengshe is different from the traditional purpose of the Qing Gang, so Hengshe developed rapidly after its establishment and was joined by a large number of social elites.

These social elites who have joined include politicians, lawyers, journalists, doctors, teachers and other freelance professionals, as well as some union leaders and even military officers.

It was precisely because of the joining of these people that the Qing Gang became more powerful and Du's absolute authority in the Qing Gang was established.

After the fall of Shanghai, Du Yuesheng took his trusted aides to Hong Kong, but many Hengshe backbones still remained in Shanghai. Although Zhan Zhenshan had set up a new company, his identity as a Hengshe member was not cancelled. It was reasonable for Xu Baichuan to approach him for this reason.

The source of the conflict between Hengshe and the Shanghai district was that Zhang Anping had stolen the Kong family's opium. Hengshe, which had colluded with the Kong family to sell opium, suffered heavy losses. In addition, when Xu Baichuan went to Hong Kong to collect evidence, he inevitably attacked members of Hengshe, causing the problem to become even more bloated.

"Mr. Xu came to Shanghai for this matter?" Zhan Zhenshan looked displeased, but he agreed with the explanation in his heart.

"Mr. Zhan, Chairman Du (Du Yuesheng is the Chairman of Hengshe) and Boss Dai are sworn brothers. There is no knot between Hengshe and the Military Control Commission that cannot be untied. Moreover, given the current situation, as Chinese people, we should unite and face the outside world together. What do you think, Mr. Zhan?"

Zhan Zhenshan said indignantly:

"Mr. Xu, Boss Dai should know the truth about this matter! Ask yourself, since the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, has Hengshe ever been a step behind? But the Shanghai District does not treat us as their own people!"

"We are not the Communist Party. The actions of the Military Control Commission are really disheartening!"

Xu Baichuan couldn't help but curse in his heart, you little Jap devil, you really know a lot!
After two dry laughs, Xu Baichuan changed his address and said, "Brother Zhan, as far as I know, the Shanghai District did not come here to target Hengshe. In the final analysis, it was the Shanghai District that was disrespectful first."

"To be honest with you, Brother Zhan, I came here to make peace. I hope to bring Brother Zhan and the Shanghai District together."

Zhan Zhenshan looked at Xu Baichuan and suddenly laughed:

"Brother Xu, as the saying goes, when you show courtesy to others, you must ask for something in return!"

"Brother Xu, do you have other plans?"

He looked at Xu Baichuan with a half-smile: "Besides, Brother Xu might have chosen the wrong temple! You Shanghai District are slapping my master in the face. As a junior, I can't make decisions for my master!"

Xu Baichuan laughed in his heart, the fox's tail is exposed!
Here's the bait!

"Brother Zhan, don't worry about Chairman Du. Our boss Dai will go to Hong Kong in person to give Mr. Du an explanation!"

Zhan Zhenshan's mind quickly changed and he said seriously:
"Brother Xu, since you and I are brothers, I will speak frankly - Military Control Commission, do you need help from Hengshe?"

He sighed deliberately: "In the past, if your military commissar slapped my master in the face, even if my master was willing to resolve this grudge, I, as his disciple, would not be able to swallow this anger!"

"But this is a time of national crisis after all! National hatred far outweighs personal gain. If it is for the public good, I am willing to persuade my fellow disciples to put national hatred first!"

Better said than sung!
Xu Baichuan complained in his heart, but said excitedly: "Brother Zhan is so righteous! Hengshe is so righteous! I am so ashamed of myself!"

After the flattery, he said solemnly:

"To be honest with you, Brother Zhan, according to the instructions of the Chairman, Boss Dai intends to establish the [Shanghai Unified Anti-Japanese Committee], which aims to unify the forces in Shanghai to fight against Japan together! To be honest, Boss Dai intends to hire Chairman Du as the chairman!"

"I am here to facilitate the establishment of this committee! I hope Brother Zhan will help me!"

The [Shanghai Unified Anti-Japanese Committee] was really going to be established, and it was also true that Du Yuesheng was lured to join, and the purpose was not wrong.

But at this time, this was a bait thrown out by Xu Baichuan according to Zhang Anping's layout.

[The Shanghai Unified Anti-Japanese Committee was renamed by the author. The original name should be "Shanghai Party Z (Zheng) Unified Committee" to avoid risks. 】

Zhan Zhenshan was shocked. The purpose of the Nationalist government could be seen from the name. His first reaction was:

This committee must not be allowed to come into being!
"Boss Dai is really far-sighted!" Zhan Zhenshan sighed: "Since the fall of Shanghai, each family has been doing their own thing. The Central Bureau of Investigation, the Military Bureau of Investigation, the Hengshe Society, the Tongmen, and the underground party have always been cleaning up their own mess!"

"If we can establish a unified and coordinated committee, it will definitely be beneficial to unite and fight against Japan!"

Xu Baichuan said first:
"The Shanghai Unified Anti-Japanese Committee will not tolerate the Communist Party—"

After stating his position, he agreed greatly and said:
"Brother Zhan is right! Once the Shanghai Unified Anti-Japanese Committee is formed, we will be able to unleash ten times the power and inflict heavy damage on the Japanese invaders!"

"Brother Xu, I, Zhan, have accepted this matter! I will immediately contact the teachers of Hengshe (a term for respecting elders) and persuade them."

The two "sinister" people with ulterior motives began to "recognize" each other with sincere words, and they couldn't wait to kill a rooster, drink blood wine, and burn yellow paper to become sworn brothers.

……

After Zhang Anping introduced his plan to Lao Cen, Lao Cen began to think.

It's true that he is an old underground worker and he can complete underground work perfectly, but when it comes to this kind of layout, it is his weakness.

And this is exactly what Zhang Anping is good at - this is also the reason why he took the initiative to resign as the head of the No. 2 intelligence group and was willing to be a "puppet" in public.

Zhang Anping was not one to suffer a loss, and he was very good at planning. After thinking it over again and again, Cen Anyan said:

"Anping, let's do this according to your ideas. If you need help from the organization, please tell me and I will be responsible for the coordination!"

Zhang Anping shook his head: "The National Government passed the "Measures to Prevent Alien Party Activities" at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee a few years ago. I am now a core member of the Anti-Communist Committee. It is not convenient for me to join forces with the organization now."

Cen Anyan was silent. He really couldn’t understand the National Government’s actions!

"By the way, my elder sister came to Shanghai with the commander a few days ago. She asked me to thank you on behalf of the comrades of the Shandong Column!"

"If you hadn't reminded us, the comrades of the Shandong Column would have suffered a great loss in Taihe Town, Boshan County!"

"This is what I should do." Zhang Anping seemed calm, but he was extremely excited inside.

Historically, in March of this year, a team of the Eighth Route Army Shandong Column that was heading to the Shandong Military and Political Cadre School in southern Shandong and the Yan'an Anti-Japanese Military and Political University to study encountered an ambush by the Fifth Column of the Loyalty Rescue Army in Taihe. These martyrs, who should have played a greater role in the anti-Japanese battlefield, did not fall under the guns of the Japanese, but fell under the guns of the National Army!
This is the Taihe Massacre!
And because Zhang Anping conveyed Shen Honglie's attitude early on, the Shandong Column was on guard, and the ambush plan of the Zhongjiu Army stationed in Taihe Town was discovered. The two sides only exchanged fire, and did not cause the cruel tragedy in history.

After a secret investigation, it was confirmed that the Zhongjiu Army had planned the ambush!

This is also the reason why Sister Qian specially thanked Zhang Anping on behalf of the comrades of the Shandong Column - there were hundreds of middle and senior cadres of the Shandong Column among our troops passing through Taihe Town at that time!
"Lao Cen, Shanghai will be in chaos for some time to come, take care!"

"I know, take care of yourself too!"

It was obviously a normal concern between comrades, but Zhang Anping, this "rebellious son", had to make trouble at the critical moment:
"Uncle, they are leaving!"

Cen Anyan's face turned as black as charcoal in an instant.

Zhang Anping, dressed in women's clothing, twisted his coquettish butt and left the Cen family. When passing by the neighbor's house, he muttered coquettishly:
"You stinky man, you can't even lift it up, and you still come to my house! You make me feel uncomfortable all over! Bah!"

Although Cen Anyan, who was sitting at home, did not hear Zhang Anping's muttering, he was sure that this bastard Zhang Anping was strengthening his own personality again.

[Zhang Anping, you, you, your uncle! Now even the bed doesn't shake! ]

After taking off his women's clothes and regaining his manhood, Zhang Anping shook his weak body and drove towards the Ming family.

He called Minglou halfway, originally wanting to ask him to go out to discuss something, but Minglou who answered the phone said that he was cleaning the ancestral hall.

When Zhang Anping heard this, he immediately realized that Deputy Director Ming, who was so majestic outside, might be kneeling in the ancestral hall again.

He immediately said that it was okay and he would report during the day, then he got out of the car excitedly and sneaked into Ming's house secretly.

Well, he wants to make fun of Minglou.

He walked to the outside of the Ming family's small ancestral hall, stuck half of his head out and looked through the window. Sure enough, the three Ming brothers who were outside were all kneeling in the small ancestral hall with their heads hung down, and were being pointed at and beaten by Ming Jing one by one.

After listening for a while, I finally understood the reason:

Mingtai was accepted as a student by Matsumuro Yoshitaka!

He was close to Tsukamoto before, and later helped the Japanese to block Lin Nansheng at a critical moment. Through this, he got to know Matsumuro Yoshitaka. After several contacts, Matsumuro Yoshitaka was attracted by the influence of the Ming family, and after a conversation with Ming Lou, he accepted Ming Tai as his student.

The three brothers tacitly kept the secret from Ming Jing, but today they were caught red-handed by Ming Jing at Doihara's welcome party. After returning to Ming's house, Ming Jing got furious, and Ming Tai sold out Ming Lou without any loyalty, insisting that it was his eldest brother who asked him to "acknowledge a thief as his master."

Ming Jing angrily beat up Ming Lou. Ming Cheng and Ming Tai couldn't stand it anymore, so they helped their eldest brother share the firepower out of brotherhood, and then...

They all knelt down and were beaten into a small ancestral hall.

He originally wanted to laugh at the joke, but as he laughed, Zhang Anping felt sad.

There were four siblings in the family, all of them were passionate anti-Japanese fighters and loyal backbones of our party, but in order to hide their identities, the younger brother had to hide it from his older sister.

Hey

A sigh.

Thinking of the fact that he, his wife and son were all in Shanghai but could not recognize each other, Zhang Anping sighed again.

He hid by the window silently, waiting for Mingjing to be coaxed by the three brothers and leave after saying "Kneel for another hour". Only then did he stick to the glass and quietly give a signal to Minglou.

After confirming through orderly codes that this was Zhang Anping, his superior in both identities, Ming Lou sent his two vigilant brothers away:

"You go guard outside."

After Mingcheng and Mingtai went out, he opened the window and let in Zhang Anping, the uninvited guest.

"Wait a minute, I'll burn some incense for Mr. Ming first."
