Secret War Silent

Page 422

This is very common in latent work, and she also knows that she should not explore the identity of the other party. Once she starts the investigation, it will be counterproductive.

Moreover, she felt that the value of her existence in the secret translation room was probably to cover up the existence of the other party besides passing on some intelligence messages.

Now that a new connector is here, she must go to the connector, otherwise, she will miss it this time, and she doesn't know when the next time will be.

"Sister Hui, I would like to take half a day off to go out for a while?"

"Please leave, today is New Year's Eve, do you want to go out and buy something?" Gong Hui nodded, "But I have to come back early, tonight, I'm going to eat at home, how can you say, you are also with me and brother Yao I stayed in Jiangcheng before."

"Okay, sister Hui." Jiang Xiaoyu agreed.

"Have you brought any money?"

"Bring it."

……

Jiang Xiaoyu changed her clothes, left the headquarters of Ciqi Interpretation Office, arrived in the town, and took a bus to Shapingba.

According to the time and place on the joint information, I arrived at Phoenix Temple on time. (At this time, Phoenix Temple has been requisitioned by Sichuan Institute of Education as a school building and dormitory)

On New Year's Eve, there are naturally many faithful men and women who burn incense and worship Buddha inside and outside the temple. The centuries-old temple is filled with smoke and is very lively.

This ancient temple was built in the early Ming Dynasty and has a history of 500 years. It is not known whether it is in the midst of a busy city or not.

"Girl, do you have a fortune teller? Your luck is purple. You are so rich..." Along the way, Jiang Xiaoyuzi searched for the person she was looking for among the crowd.

The connection information was too general, and she didn't know who the connection was or what identity it appeared in, so she could only find it by feeling.

"Miss, do you want to ask for a lottery? The marriage lottery in Phoenix Temple is very good. Ask for one, and it's only ten cents. Ten cents in exchange for a golden and jade marriage, what a deal..."

"No, thank you." Jiang Xiaoyu repeatedly declined.

It's been half an hour since she searched, but she still hasn't seen the person she wants to see. Jiang Xiaoyu is a little anxious, and a layer of sweat is dripping from her nasal passages. Looking up, she doesn't know what to do next.

"Miss, are you looking for someone?" A familiar voice that almost bit off the tip of Jiang Xiaoyu's tongue came from her back.

Turning around suddenly, she saw a beggar holding a bamboo stick, holding a broken bowl, and wearing torn cotton wool, standing hunched in front of her.

"ocean……"

"Miss looking for someone like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. If you can tell the old beggar what he looks like, maybe I can help you." It was the old beggar played by Lao Wu. In fact, he found Jiang Xiaoyu as soon as he entered the temple. There is no tail, and I came to see it after observing for so long.

"Okay, thank you old man." Jiang Xiaoyu took a deep breath, she had a lot of questions to ask, but this is not a place to talk, she had to find a safe place.

"Come with the old beggar." Old Wu turned around and walked into the temple. Jiang Xiaoyu looked around vigilantly, but no one was paying attention, so she raised her heels and walked over.

"There should be no problem here." Old Wu led Jiang Xiaoyu to a remote corner, checked the vicinity carefully, and made sure that there was no one there, and said, "Comrade Jiang Xiaoyu, something happened to me on the way back. If you can come back first, the superior decided to let me continue to be your direct superior and be responsible for liaison with you."

"What happened, isn't there a new contact person?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

"The new contact person came from my hometown, but encountered a situation on the way, and now it's too late to find another suitable contact person for you, so I can only come back to continue this job." Old Wu explained.

"But you have already gone back as my housekeeper, what's going on when you come back, they will check?" Jiang Xiaoyu was anxious.

"It's okay, I've thought it through. My explanation is that I was taken away by the national army on the way back. I didn't have any money, and I didn't have any identity documents. I would definitely be arrested when I returned to Jiangcheng, so I had to come back again. People are pulling people and fighting everywhere outside, they can't find out." Old Wu explained.

"How are my parents?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

"I didn't go to Jiangcheng, and I came back directly after receiving the order on the way. Moreover, I was really arrested as a young man, otherwise I would have come back a long time ago..." Old Wu smiled embarrassingly, and there were many mistakes in what he said. After coming down, he still felt that it was better for him to talk less.

Chapter 0564 The Last Effort

"But how did I know you were back in the secret translation room?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked, "I can't say that I met you by chance on the road, right?"

"You don't have to worry about this. I've already gone to Aunt Wu. She is a family member of your military commander. She should be able to pass the news back. Maybe you go back now, and the news has already arrived." Old Wu explained.

"Then what should I do when I receive the news?"

"You have a reason to come to me, and I can also go directly back to the place I rented to wait for you. Let's sum it up and round up the words."

"Okay, I'll go back now." Jiang Xiaoyu was a little confused, this was the first time she encountered such a situation.

It is inevitable that you don't know how to deal with it.

"Remember, don't reveal your secrets. As usual, if you don't receive any news, it doesn't matter. Just wait."

"Okay, I see." Jiang Xiaoyu knew that she couldn't talk to Old Wu for too long, so she had to go back immediately.

……

New Year's Eve was supposed to be a happy day for the whole family to reunite, but when Luo Yao went to work in the morning, all kinds of news came pouring in.

In the eyes of others, these news are all good news, but he knows that these are not necessarily good news for him.

Once the military command retaliates freely, it is easy to accidentally injure many innocent people, and the military command has always been unscrupulous. If you want them to be reasonable, it is better to play the piano against the cow.

If things go on like this, sooner or later there will be big troubles.

After thinking about it again and again, the cigarette butts in the ashtray were already full, Luo Yao decided to meet Dai Yunong again.

Call Mao Qiwu, Dai Yunong's whereabouts are confidential, very few people in the army know, but Mao Qiwu, the chief secretary, must know.

"Secretary Mao, if this quarrel continues, it is likely that both sides will suffer, and it will be of no benefit to anyone. I want to see Mr. Dai."

"Okay, you're the person involved, maybe your words are useful, I'll ask if Boss Dai has time to see you." Mao Qiwu thought about it, and agreed to Luo Yao's request.

"Thank you."

After a while, Mao Qiwu called and gave Luo Yao an address, asking him to take only one person and go there easily.

Luo Yao called Yang Fan immediately, and instead of driving the jeep he usually drove, he changed to a black Dodge.

After half an hour.

Luo Yao came to the address that Mao Qiwu mentioned. It was a small European-style building in Nan'an District, very quiet.

He has never been to this place, and he doesn't know it. It should be the place where Dai Yunong meets women. No one knows how many villas like this exist.

Dai Yunong knew that Luo Yao was coming, so the guard at the gate let the car in.

"Yu Ning, it's hard for me to take a break. You insist on coming to see me. What's the matter?" It was the first time I saw Dai Yunong in pajamas.

The fireplace at home is very hot, no wonder I don't feel cold in just wearing pajamas.

"Sir, the students have heard some news in the past two days, and they feel a little worried, and they can't say anything quickly!" Luo Yao sat down in the living room and said.

"Tell me, I'm listening." Dai Yunong nodded.

"It stands to reason that the Central News Agency did not comply with our agreement this time, and changed the published report without permission. This is their fault. But now, we are targeting each other in such a way, whether the conflict is constantly intensifying, the Central News Agency is not ordinary The news organization is the mouthpiece of the party-state, which speaks for the leaders, and our military command is the eagle dog of the party-state, and it also works for the leaders. If the talkers and the managers fight, who will be the happiest?" Luo Yao said.

"In this incident, they provoked first, and we were forced to fight back. If we were bullied and we didn't fight back, how would people outside think of our military commander?" Dai Yunong glanced at Luo Yao, he understood Luo Yao. What did Yao mean.

"It's a good word, and we should fight back. This student supports it. The problem is that our counterattack and revenge cannot be unlimited. In that case, we will have a death feud." Luo Yao said.

"If Wang Xueting doesn't personally come to apologize for this matter, and publicly clarify it for you on the "Central Daily" and return your innocence, it will never be over." Dai Yunong said.

"The students are very grateful to Mr. for his hard work, but the honor and disgrace of the students is nothing. It is much lighter than the unity within our party and country." Luo Yao said, he now regrets not taking out the recording early in the morning, but It is too late to take it out now, and it may even have the opposite effect.

He didn't intend to intensify the conflict from the beginning, he always thought that if the other party could take the initiative to admit his mistake and apologize, the matter would be over.

This kind of negative impact depends on how you look at it. It does have a certain impact on reputation, but because it is a pseudonym published, the impact on him is limited, unless someone completely discloses his identity to the public.

Even this may mislead the spies and Japanese military secret service agencies, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

In fact, this matter was not that complicated in the first place, but because of the arrogance and prejudice of some people, it eventually expanded the matter.

"Yu Ning, you are still kind-hearted. These people, if you don't hurt them, they won't bow their heads." Dai Yunong sighed and said, he knows the pissing nature of these politicians in the party and the country best. They are all masters who want to save face and don't cry when they don't see the coffin.

Luo Yao smiled awkwardly.

The evaluation of Xinshan couldn't be put on his head. When he was in Jiangcheng, he did not kill the Japanese invaders.

At the time of the murder, I didn't see him softening his heart, if it wasn't for the critical moment when the secret translation room and the secret inspection office merged.

He won't ask for trouble. Of course, right now, the anti-Japanese war and saving the country are the top priority, and the fraternal conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party must be ranked behind.

"Sir, if the other party is subdued, we might as well get off the beaten track and settle this matter. If this is brought up to the Chairman, it will be hard for you to explain it at that time." Luo Yao cautiously suggested.

"The question is, do they seem to be giving in now?" Dai Yunong sneered, "You don't know, do you? They have already sent reporter Jiang to her parents' house for protection. It was clearly premeditated."

"Today is New Year's Eve. Is it normal for her to go back to her parents' house for the New Year?"

"You Ning, I know you are worried that things will get big and it won't end well, so you don't have to worry about it, I have a sense of proportion." Dai Yunong said firmly, "Our military command is not unreasonable, it depends on whether the other party is willing or not. Cooperation."

"Sir, if this is the case, the student is willing to go to the Propaganda Department again..."

"Are you going to be humiliated again?" Dai Yunong snorted coldly, "One time is not enough, you have to come again, I tell you, Luo Youning, you are not allowed to go, this is no longer your personal honor and face, it is about the face of the military command , I will never back down a step.”

Seeing that Dai Yunong had made up his mind, Luo Yao knew that it would be useless to persuade him any more. A person who is used to giving orders and acting arbitrarily, how could he easily listen to the persuasion of his subordinates.

"Yes, sir."

"Go back, you don't have to worry about this matter, I'll take care of it." Dai Yunong ordered, "Think carefully about the arrangements after the merger. It is estimated that a discussion meeting on the merger plan will be held soon after the year, and your position will be determined. Do you understand how much weight our military commander can occupy in this new organization?"

"Yes, the student understands." Luo Yao nodded in agreement, took his leave and left.

……

"Well, I just knew that the last effort failed?" Luo Yao returned to the secret translation room, was taunted by Gong Hui, and had already missed lunch. Hungry.

"I'm also thinking about the overall situation. Mr. Dai won't listen to me, what can I do?" Luo Yao said angrily.

"You are thankless. If you want me to say, you should teach those people a lesson. This time they slandered you in the newspaper. I don't know who they will slander next time. I don't know how many people have been slandered by these innocent people before." A pen from a good reporter was ruined!" Gong Hui said, "These literati claim to be romantic, but they are actually full of male thieves and female prostitutes, and they have no good things."

"You also overturned a boatload of people with one pole, and most of them are still upright." Luo Yao retorted.

"Let's eat your meal, what's the matter with you now?" Gong Hui snorted, disagreed, and didn't bother to argue with her, "By the way, there's one more thing, the housekeeper from Xiao Yu's house came home. I ran into a bandit on the road, and was dragged away by our national army, and ended up running with the army, getting farther and farther away from Jiangcheng, so I had no choice but to return to the mountain city along the way."

"Aren't the identity certificates and passports we gave him useless?" Luo Yao asked after he stopped eating.

"It's useful. If it weren't for this, he would probably have been treated as cannon fodder."

"It's good that people are fine. This war is in turmoil. He is different from us. One has a long journey, and the other is careless. No one will know when he dies on the road." Luo Yao nodded.

"I thought, otherwise, I'll find a shop to arrange for him in the next year. He used to take care of the cloth shop for the Jiang family, so he should be able to do business. As a man of his own, you can use it without worry?" Gong Hui said, "He is not a military commander either. It is better to come forward for many things."

"It's up to you to figure it out." Luo Yao lowered his head and said, taking a bite of his rice.

"Okay, I'll tell Xiao Yu after the Chinese New Year and see what she means." Gong Hui nodded, "By the way, tonight, I called Wen Lao San and the others over, they are all single , Let’s keep the New Year’s Eve together!”

"Well, have you prepared Xiao Nan's New Year's money?"

"Well, I'll give it to you, how about 20 yuan?" Gong Hui asked.

Luo Yao nodded: "Yes, children usually don't spend much money, and it's not good to give too much. Ten yuan per person is just right."

"I think so too. We can save this money for Xiao Nan, and give it to her when she needs it later. The child is still young, so we can't let her temperament spend money carelessly."

"Send a car to pick up Tian Shoushan and Lin Yi from Xiaoheimeiyao Prison. The two of them are considered alone. After dinner at night, let them go back to the guest house with Su Li, and return to Xiaoheimeiyao the next day. "Luo Yao suddenly remembered something, and ordered.

"Okay, I'll call and ask Su Li to pick him up and go home directly." Gong Hui nodded.

Chapter 0565 New Year's Eve

There is Gong Hui, a northerner at home, so dumplings are made on New Year's Eve. It is also good to eat dumplings on New Year's Eve. The dumplings are shaped like ingots, which have a beautiful meaning of attracting wealth and wealth.

Southerners do not have the custom of eating dumplings on New Year's Eve, but here in the mountain city, there is also the custom of eating glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve.

Therefore, Lao Dong has prepared both dumplings and glutinous rice balls. The most important thing is that the family will make dumplings and make glutinous rice balls.

This is the happiest day of the year.

Of course, offering sacrifices and posting Spring Festival couplets are indispensable, which is what every household has to do.

A few bouquets of wintersweet are placed at home, and under the embellishment of light yellow flowers, even the thatched cottage has a somewhat elegant artistic conception.

Although most people are resting at home on this day, they are still very busy, especially the merchants. This is their most profitable time of the year, and some are even so busy that they have not been able to close their business until dark.

People who were outside came home one after another, the smoke rose, the lights of thousands of houses, in addition to the smell of bacon, there was a faint smell of wintersweet in the air.

This is the mountain city.

A city full of fireworks and resilience.

The place where Qiao Kui (Toshio Takahashi) lives is actually not very far from Luo Yao's house, and the arrangement is so close because of safety considerations.

Once something happens, you can rush to help immediately, and it is convenient to work if you live nearby, but it is not so convenient if you are too far away.

The Japanese also celebrate the Spring Festival, but it is not as grand as China. In fact, it is a culture that comes down in one continuous line, and naturally has similar customs.

It’s just that officially Japan has abolished the Spring Festival, just like Westerners, there is only the New Year, but, among the people, some ordinary people still follow the old customs.

Looking at the busy figures in the yard, these are the military commanders sent to protect and take care of their daily life.
