Agents of the Republic of China

Lin Xiaotang couldn't help smiling after hearing Huoyan's narration.Li Shiqun, who had already lost power, could actually cause such a big storm in Shanghai. He really didn't expect it. This person has been operating in Shanghai for many years. Although he moved to Nanjing before, he never gave up the territory of Shanghai.

What surprised Lin Xiaotang the most was that Li Shiqun actually adopted the method of setting up an empty shell for the Secret Service Headquarters. On the surface, it seemed that all the power was delegated to Ma Xiaotian, but in fact, there was another group of confidants operating secretly.This can be seen from the manpower mobilized by Ma Xiaotian today. In fact, Ma Xiaotian does not have the full strength of the secret service headquarters. There are various factions such as Wang Tianmu inside, and there are hidden forces monitoring outside. This shows that Li Shiqun attaches great importance to Shanghai.

Early in the morning, Xia Haoming had been arranged to lurk in Shanghai to start planning a retreat, and quietly organized the Black Shirt Army. Up to now, not only Lin Xiaotang has not noticed, but even the Japanese, Zhou Fohai, Zhuang Chongxian and others may have been arrested. In the dark.

Li Shiqun is really not simple!

There was only a scratch on Huoyan's right shoulder. At this time, Shangzhi had already helped him bandage it up. When he mentioned what happened just now, Huoyan was still brooding. Suddenly such a sniper master appeared and disrupted Lin Xiaotang's overall plan. And let Li Shiqun retreat leisurely, Huoyan really couldn't swallow this breath.

"How's the situation outside?" Lin Xiaotang asked Shang Zhensheng.

"It's very stable. After all, Li Shiqun is still a high-ranking official of the puppet government, and the Japanese have no intention of dealing with him openly. They arranged for Xiong Jiandong and Gangcun to be poisoned earlier because they didn't want to complicate things. They just wanted to deal with him secretly and take over his power smoothly. The current situation in Shanghai is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Li Shiqun has a lot of confidential information about the puppet government and the Japanese. If he is arrested publicly at this time, there is no guarantee that he will not fall to the Americans or the British. The Japanese are also afraid of this kind of situation. The situation is passive, so there is no good way to take it out at the moment, and can only be arrested secretly through the special high school, the gendarmerie and No. 76."

Lin Xiaotang couldn't help clapping his hands, "I'm afraid this is the best situation that Li Shiqun wants. The Japanese are wary, which gives him the capital to negotiate. If the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas can be successfully controlled, I guess the Japanese will have to I pinched my nose to admit his existence."

Even Shang Zhensheng couldn't help admiring: "Li Shiqun's move is very risky, but it must be admitted that once he succeeds, the benefits obtained will be immeasurable!"

Lin Xiaotang nodded, "We don't need to stay in Shanghai anymore. It's really difficult to catch Li Shiqun under the current situation. Jiangsu and Zhejiang are his old dens, so let's go to Suzhou as soon as possible! Huang Jingzhai, Wan Lilang and Xie Yunchao are here Jiangsu and Zhejiang have made a big move, and they probably got the approval of Li Shiqun, so if we want to replace it, we have to go to Suzhou!"

Shang Zhensheng also agreed with Lin Xiaotang's opinion.Tang Shengming sent several urgent telegrams, which already showed that his life in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was not easy.Although there were rescue troops joining, and Lin Xiaotang had mobilized some wealthy families in southern Jiangsu to support him, but so far the situation in Wuxi had been brought under control, and it was still far from the goal set before.

In any case, the territory of Jiangsu and Zhejiang must be taken down. Only after it is safely controlled, will Li Shiqun's retreat be cut off, and at the same time, the basis for his survival will be cut off.Now in Shanghai, even if Li Shiqun is captured, it seems meaningless now. Li Shiqun is not only a person, but also a large group of followers. If he wants to kill him, he can only eliminate all his local forces.

"One more thing, Wanquan came to report before. After he came back from Beiping, he received a message from Wang Xianqing, strongly inviting him to join No. 76. I did some research and can confirm that he is now following Xia Haoming .”

Lin Xiaotang rubbed his chin, "Things are getting more and more interesting. After this guy escaped from Chongqing, he didn't hear from him for a long time, and he went to Li Shiqun's place!"

"This person is a typical opportunist. This time he took refuge in Li Shiqun, maybe something will happen. Look, are we...?" Shang Zhensheng stretched out his hand, making a downward strike gesture.

Lin Xiaotang thought about it carefully, "No need. In Chongqing before, Pei Zhongwei was the core of their organization. Now that Pei Zhongwei is dead, Wang Xianqing is just a bereaved dog who can't make any trouble. Brother Suzhang, you inform Wanquan that you can take refuge in 76 No, but don't take any action yet, wait for my order!"

After everyone withdrew, Lin Xiaotang stopped Huoyan, "How is Xia Zhiping?"

"No injury, I have been hiding in the jewelry store. I have already controlled the two people in the jewelry store. Li Shiqun did go to see her, but Xia Zhiping admitted that she notified Yuan Jianfeng. Li Shiqun seemed to have expected that." At this point, I didn't get angry because of it, but asked Xia Zhiping to go with him. Xia Zhiping finally agreed!"

Lin Xiaotang frowned immediately.

Huoyan observed her words, "Seventh brother, do you want to send someone to protect her secretly?"

Lin Xiaotang leaned on the sofa with her eyes closed, and after a long while slowly said: "No need, I have done my best to the two of them, the path is their own choice, and I will not care about the outcome no matter what happens in the future. !"

……

Ma Xiaotian returned to No. 76 in a daze. Not long after, Zhuang Chongxian came to his door. The personnel in No. 76 headquarters were all surprised when they saw him. Since then, he has never entered the gate of No. 76, but this time he came directly to the door aggressively.

Although the people from various factions didn't say anything, they secretly stepped up their vigilance.

Ma Xiaotian was caught off guard by Zhuang Chongxian's visit. No. 76 was far from being able to overwhelm the sky with his single hand. In addition, the Military Intelligence Department has been stepped on by the Secret Service Headquarters all these years. The two departments regard each other as the deadly enemy in the eyes. It was not made public. At this time, Zhuang Chong first appeared on the 76th, which was an extremely passive thing for Ma Xiaotian.

As soon as he entered the office, Zhuang Chongxian shouted angrily: "What did you do? In the jewelry store, why didn't you kill Li Shiqun!"

Ma Xiaotian was also furious, "What's the matter, you can call as much as you want, what are you doing here? How can I explain to the people below!"

"Explain? Explain what a fart! Li Shiqun's escape, you and I will die on the street sooner or later, thanks to the fact that you still have the heart to think about the thoughts of the people below!"

"I was held to the head with a gun, how can I catch it? Do you want me to pay for my life, and you can take credit for it?"

"That's a hundred times, a thousand times better than the current situation! It's not me, do you think you will end well after Li Shiqun falls?"

The two talked to each other and refused to give in to each other, so they quarreled in the office, the voice was so loud that they could be heard clearly outside.

At the beginning, the people outside were still listening with the mentality of watching the excitement, but it soon stopped.

Because the gate of No. 76 was smashed open, the guard at the gate was knocked down with a gun butt, and a brigade of Japanese military police with live ammunition rushed in.

The leading Japanese female officer was Yunzi Nanzao, with a livid face, she ordered her soldiers to control everyone in No. 76, while she herself rushed into Ma Xiaotian's director's office with a dozen gendarmes.

As the gate was kicked open, Ma Xiaotian and Zhuang Chongxian were also taken aback. Seeing the ferocious Nan Zao Yunzi, the two couldn't help but trembled and looked at each other. Zhuang Chongxian bowed his head and hurried back He took a step forward, just in time to reveal Ma Xiaotian.

Ma Xiaotian had no choice but to take a few steps forward and walked in front of Nanzao Yunzi, "Your Excellency Nanzao, who is this?"

"Where's the person?" Nan Zao Yunzi grabbed Ma Xiaotian's lapel.

"Who? Who?" Ma Xiaotian was at a loss.

"That waitress at the Hero Nightclub!" Nan Zao Yunzi's saliva sprayed Ma Xiaotian's face.

Only then did Ma Xiaotian get a little impression, and replied in a hurry: "Oh, you said that the liaison officer of the underground organization is in the interrogation room. Do you want to interrogate? I will arrange it right away!"

"Quick, lead the way!" Nan Zao Yunzi's voice was extremely sharp.

"Yes Yes!"

Ma Xiaotian was covered in cold sweat, but he didn't dare to ask the reason, so he ran towards the interrogation room with Nan Zao Yunzi's team at a trot. Zhuang Chongxian didn't know why, and followed secretly.

In front of the door of the interrogation room stood the two executioners who were left behind, and they were smoking comfortably at the door at the moment. Seeing Ma Xiaotian bringing so many people in, he was taken aback for a moment.

"Where are people?" Ma Xiaotian asked.

"Still, still inside, there are two brothers interrogating!" The executioner stammered.

Ma Xiaotian pushed the two away, opened the big iron gate and broke in.

The air in the interrogation room was already filthy, but at this time it added a lot of sleepiness. The two people who stayed in the room were laughing and holding up their pants. On the table in the interrogation room lay a naked man. woman.

Nan Zao Yunzi caught Ma Xiaotian's expression, and saw Tokiwa Chiyo with his legs spread wide at a glance.There were still spots of blood dripping from her body, Tokiwa Chiyo's eyes were closed tightly, her whole body was covered with bruises, and even her lower body was red and swollen.

Nanzo Yunzi let out a miserable howl, ran forward, and hugged Tokiwa Chiyo, "Chiyo, wake up, you have to hold on, I'm here to save you!"

How could Tokiwa Chiyo stand the toss and toss of these men who are like wolves and tigers? At this time, she was already in a coma. Yunzi Nanzo yelled for a while before waking up slowly, but her breath was extremely weak. Seeing Nan Zao Yunzi, her eyes lit up suddenly, "You are here! Help me!"

Yunzi Nanzo nodded with tears in her eyes, turned around and took a blanket to cover Chiyo Tokiwa.

Several Japanese soldiers carried Tokiwa Chiyo out.

At this time, Ma Xiaotian felt that his brain was short-circuited for a moment. Why does such a member of the underground organization seem to have a close relationship with the Japanese? Could it be that he arrested the wrong person?
