Double Agent Saga

Zuo Shaoqing said: "Ziyuan, I have studied the domestic agricultural situation before, and the grain production has been increasing!"

At this time, Du Ziyuan's face was already in some pain, which was indescribable pain.

He said: "Young Master Zuo, what you know is what happened two years ago. It's different now."

Zuo Shaoqing grabbed his hand, "Why! What happened!"

Du Ziyuan thought for a while and said, "The situation is like this. When we first liberated, we took the land from the landlords and distributed it to poor peasants. Is this good?"

"Okay! Isn't this our goal?"

"However, after the farmers get the land, there will always be some farmers who have no farm tools, no seeds, no fertilizers. Some farmers will encounter natural and man-made disasters, get sick and so on. How do they get through the current difficulties? They only have to sell what they have. Land. They only got the land for a year or two, and the land began to be concentrated in the hands of a few people. There will be new landlords in the countryside. And the peasants without land will be even poorer. We have been revolutionizing for decades, sacrificing Is it possible to get such a result after killing countless people?"

Zuo Shaoqing looked at him.These situations were something she had never known.Newspapers published in the Mainland never mention this issue.She whispered, "I heard that rural cooperatives are being established in the Mainland. Isn't that very good?"

Du Ziyuan nodded and said: "This is the best way. Several farmers united to help each other and overcome difficulties together. However, we implemented it too quickly. We originally planned to spend more than ten years to gradually improve it. Gradually do a good job in rural cooperatives, but we only took two years to promote it, and there are many problems. The most important point is that we need to export a large amount of grain in exchange for foreign exchange. The most urgent need. The comrades below don’t know, but the leaders of the province and the central government know. They almost gritted their teeth and took grain from the farmers. Bao’an County, north of Hong Kong, last year’s grain output was 2000 million If they were all used as rations, there would still be a little surplus. But the country needed more than 5000 million catties of grain, nearly half of it. Think about it, the farmers don’t have enough food left.”

The room was silent.Both Du Ziyuan and Zuo Shaoqing were speechless.The country's difficulties and those of the peasants cannot be accommodated at the moment.Which side is more important?

Du Ziyuan looked at her quietly, and said in a low voice: "Either sacrifice the industrial base, the national defense industry, and ultimately our country. Or sacrifice the farmers. This matter will be difficult to solve in anyone's hands. From now on, this Don’t bring up issues like this. This is a political issue. The issues I have mentioned are only general information, and there are still many unexplainable issues.”

Zuo Shaoqing was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "Maybe I understand a little bit."

Du Ziyuan nodded, "It's good that you understand. Our country is now in an extremely difficult and dangerous period! Let's all work hard to do our jobs well."

At the end of this morning, when Zuo Shaoqing left the hotel where Du Ziyuan lived and walked in the rainy streets, he felt heavy and complicated.

Not far ahead is the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency.The newsstand next to the Hong Kong branch is still open.

Zuo Shaoqing walked to the newsstand and flipped through the newspapers on the stand.She selected a few newspapers from the mainland and a few Hong Kong newspapers, and put them in her bag.She thought, let's see what the newspapers said.

She walked forward with her bag on her back.In the misty rain, the tea tent where Yu Zhidao used to sit was still open, but the person sitting under the tea tent was not Yu Zhidao.Zuo Shaoqing froze for a moment, she recognized that it was Mace.

With a sly smile on Mace's face, he patted the seat beside him, motioning for Zuo Shaoqing to sit down.He poured a cup of tea from the teapot and placed it in front of Zuo Shaoqing.

He said softly: "Young Master Zuo, I know that Du Ziyuan is here, and that he lives in the small hotel over there. So, I guess, you might come here. Sure enough, you really came here."

Zuo Shaoqing smiled and said, "I'm thinking about how to find you. I guess, you may have received the notification, from the British?"

More smiles appeared on Metz's face, "Young Master Zuo, I want to thank you, you really helped me a lot."

Zuo Shaoqing squinted at him, "So, what about the thing Mr. Metz promised?"

Mace smiled darkly, "Young Master Zuo, I will definitely not break my promise. However, I also want to make it clear that whether you can see him or find him is up to you. Is that clear enough?"

Zuo Shaoqing nodded, "Tell me the specific time."

Mace raised his finger, "Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, within these three days, Li Kengyi will definitely leave the consulate. The rest is up to you."

Zuo Shaoqing stared at him, "Mr. Metz, are you playing tricks on us, or are you playing tricks on us?"

Mace smiled triumphantly, "All of them. Dear Young Master Zuo, let me tell you the truth. In Nanjing and South Vietnam, I haven't had a good battle of wits with you yet. I want to try. If you Sheng, I will respect you more in the future. If I win, I hope you can do more for us in the future. My request is not too much, right?"

Zuo Shaoqing felt the nerves in his brain throbbing.She vaguely understood that she had oversimplified this matter in the past.After all, Mace is a CIA agent, and he is by no means a kind person!

She said quietly: "Not too much. Let's meet again after this matter is over."

She picked up her bag and walked away calmly.

When Zuo Shaoqing walked into St. Mary's Hospital and into his younger sister's ward, her younger sister was sitting by the bed, looking at her quietly, with big doubts flashing in her eyes.

Zuo Shaoqing sat by the bed and repeated what Du Ziyuan said to his sister sentence by sentence.She could feel that until this time, her sister's body gradually relaxed.This girl is quite jealous.Then, Zuo Shaoqing told his sister what Metz had said one by one.My sister's body gradually became tense again.Her spirit finally turned to Mace's words.

She said, "Sister, Mace is ready. Not only will he let Li Kengyi go, but he may also attack you, isn't he?"

Zuo Shaoqing said: "I also guessed it. But, I can't think of what he wants to do or how to do it."

Next, the two sisters were head to head, carefully calculating what they would do tonight and what they would do in the three days starting tomorrow.

You Shaoqing said: "Sister, no problem, we can deal with him!"

After lunch, the rain gradually became heavier.Zuo Shaoqing and the sisters stood in front of the window, looking at the rain falling outside and the tree branches swaying in the wind on the street.

You Shaoqing said softly: "Sister, it's best if it rains tonight. It can wash away all traces."

Zuo Shaoqing looked at her quietly and said, "Sister, are you really good?"

You Shaoqing swung his arm, "Look, I'm all right. There's nothing wrong with me!"

Zuo Shaoqing nodded, "Okay, then let's wait patiently."

Next, the two Zuo Shaoqing sisters, one lying on the bed and the other on the sofa, closed their clothes and rested.

In the afternoon, when it was almost time for dinner, two nurses came to change You Shaoqing's dressing with a delicate trolley.

They carefully unwrapped the gauze on You Shaoqing's forehead, cleaned the wound carefully, replaced the Vaseline gauze, and then wrapped the bandage.Then put plaster on the bruise on her back.

A nurse said: "The wound has healed, and the stitches can be removed in two or three days. However, there may be a scar on the face, which is a pity."

You Shaoqing gritted her teeth and stared at them viciously, as if it was the scars they left her.

The two nurses didn't dare to speak out, they carefully bandaged her and helped her take medicine.

At this time, the corridor was very quiet.Because it is meal time, there are few doctors and patients.

Two female nurses pushed the trolley out of the ward and closed the door.The boys in the corridor glanced at them, but didn't speak.The two police officers at the other end of the hallway looked at them as well, then turned away and continued to chat quietly.

Two female nurses pushed the trolley through the long corridor and into the elevator.They took the elevator to the bottom floor and continued to push the cart forward.They walked to a small door, looked back and forth, and then opened the small door to go in.

This is the cleaning room, with buckets and mops in the corner, and shelves by the wall full of cleaning supplies.

They took off their white nurse uniforms, big masks and nurse caps to reveal their true colors.They turned out to be Zuo Shaoqing sisters.They took out the clothes they had prepared long ago from the cloth bags in the corner and put on their wide-brimmed cloth hats.Then he took out two black umbrellas and the long cardboard box from the bottom of the car, and went out the door.

They walked quietly through the corridor and out of the hospital through the side door.

It was raining loudly outside, and the sky was getting dark.The rainwater from the eaves washed down, formed a torrent on the street, and flowed quickly to the low-lying places.

Their cloth shoes were already soaked.But they don't care about it.Holding an umbrella, she walked through the narrow lane and walked to another street.They waved for a taxi and said, "Go to Central."

The taxi headed towards Tsim Sha Tsui, then boarded the ferry at Star Harbor and crossed Victoria Bay.The taxi leaves the ferry and drives onto Des Voeux Road.They got off the taxi at the entrance of an alley and walked straight into the alley.

A few minutes later they entered a door at the corner of the alley.This is the room Zuo Shaoqing rented yesterday afternoon.

Zuo Shaoqing turned on the light.The small room was spartan.There was a bag on a bare bed, which contained the clothes they were going to wear tonight.There are some oiled paper packets on the square table.At this time, Zuo Shaoqing prepared dinner, which included braised beef, egg pancakes, and a small bottle of white wine.
