Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen
"You lied to me, bastard, you lied to me, you lied to me, bastard, bastard, bastard, senior bastard..." Jiro Yoshida's voice from the phone was so shrill that it could tear paper.
However, Feng Jiusi didn't understand why Yoshida Jiro was so excited, because he believed that he was the one who was deceived in this conspiracy and struggle, but Yoshida Jiro's hysteria really made him feel very happy, so he went down the slope. Donkey, I wanted to hear Yoshida Jiro's real thoughts, so he said: "We are right, don't blame anyone..."
Yoshida Jiro wailed like a wounded wolf: "Why shouldn't you be blamed? You will go to hell, and you will endure all the punishments here for a thousand years. You have deceived me and turned me into a victim." An idiot that people laugh at..."
Such a curse has to be answered, Feng Jiusi said: "It should be you who should go to the 'Tongue Pulling Hell', because you lied and claimed to be Mr. Ogura, a law professor, but in fact it is the Japanese spy chief Jiro Yoshida..."
Jiro Yoshida said angrily: "You should go to 'Flaying Hell', you used 'play hard to get', 'Li Daitao stiff', 'kill with a borrowed knife', 'serial trick', 'trick and trick' on me... You, you, you used the whole set "The Thirty-Six Strategies" made me miserable."
Feng Jiusi became more and more puzzled, but his tone became more and more unpredictable, he said: "You should be hacked into pieces, you used the 'civet cat' to kill for you, you used me to find all the 'Yoshida incident' for you participants in the..."
Yoshida Jiro yelled: "You are using me. You killed your accomplices and betrayed women. In fact, they are all illusions. You want me to drive Zhou Xiaocun to heaven and earth for you. In the end, you can only listen to me." At your mercy, you exposed the truth of the 'Yoshida incident' on the radio, you have hurt me..."
Did I really take advantage of Jiro Yoshida?Feng Jiusi didn't expect this, and he felt a little proud of it, so he asked, "Don't you want to know the truth about the 'Yoshida incident'? Isn't that your purpose?"
Yoshida Jiro let out a long lament, as if he had let out all his internal organs, and he said: "Before the truth of the incident was revealed, I was a hero of the Yamato nation. I was a hero in the first place, but it was only through my wife The lives of my wife and my son proved this; however, you uncovered the details of this matter and let the world know that the death of my wife and son was just a small mistake, the result of your internal strife, not me For the sake of the Great Japanese Empire to destroy my family and relieve difficulties; you made me a laughing stock, the biggest laughing stock in Japan. For this matter, the emperor has already taken back the medal awarded to me. How can I have the face to live... "
Feng Jiusi finally understood Yoshida Jiro's thoughts, and at the same time hated this guy for not telling him this idea earlier.If he had known earlier that he had indeed used such a clever trick, he would have had a more beautiful set of rhetoric when reporting the situation to the leader.However, he knew that these so-called tricks had never even appeared in his mind. All he did was the choice made by him, Yang Bingxin, "Bailing", and Zhou Xiao at a critical moment. It is a last resort.At the same time, he finally understood why Yoshida Jiro had been chasing them like crazy these days.So he said: "I called you this time, not to argue with you who is right, nor to want you to compliment me on my active learning and application of Chinese art of war. I have something to ask you."
Jiro Yoshida shouted, "Say it."
Feng Jiusi said: "It has been three days since you occupied the British and French concessions, but you still refuse to open the concessions. What is the reason?"
Jiro Yoshida said: "It's just to catch you, Zhou Xiaocun, and your central leaders. Didn't you see that the streets are full of notices offering rewards for your arrest? The photos of you two are bigger than other anti-Japanese elements. Higher than your central leaders..."
Feng Jiusi asked, "Why did you do this?"
Yoshida Jiro said: "I arrested you because you lied to me. This kind of shame can only be cleared by killing you; as for Zhou Xiaocun, I can only make him change his mouth by arresting him. When the witness is in my hands, I will Propaganda against propaganda, to prove that what you are saying is all lies, and to restore my reputation."
Feng Jiusi said: "But what we said on the radio is all the truth, Zhou Xiaocun confessed very thoroughly."
Yoshida Jiro said: "When Zhou Xiaocun is in my hands, those nonsense will naturally become lies of the Communist Party. Thinking about it, Mr. Zhou will be very happy to do so."
Feng Jiusi asked: "What if, I mean, if I surrendered myself and deliberately let you catch me?"
Yoshida Jiro said angrily: "Don't lie to me again, I won't be fooled by you again."
Feng Jiusi asked again: "Do you mean that if Zhou Xiaocun and I are really caught by you, you will open the concession?"
Jiro Yoshida was probably amused by him, and said with a smile: "Yes, as long as I can catch you two, I will immediately open the concession and pass freely."
Feng Jiusi asked again: "Since your personal hatred for the two of us is the key to the opening of the concession, let me ask you a question, if you are dead or killed, will the concession be opened?"
Jiro Yoshida laughed suddenly and said, "Yes, I was the one who refused to allow the concession to be opened. If I die, those brainless soldiers will be happy to open the concession so that they can smuggle out the 'trophies' they seized in the concession."
So Feng Jiusi said: "Thank you, that's what I want to know, I'm sorry, according to common sense, it would be harder than going to heaven to get me to surrender, but there will always be accidents, as long as we can reach an agreement. "
He didn't wait for Jiro Yoshida's reaction, put down the receiver after speaking, and then said to the leader holding the other receiver: "The situation is like this, I'm sorry, the concession will not be opened in a short time, if you don't kill Jiro Yoshida, the Central Committee Comrades whose leaders and identities have been exposed may find it difficult to evacuate."
The leader sighed and said: "It's not your fault, it's all my fault. If I had accepted your evacuation plan, at least half of the comrades would be able to evacuate now, but..." Turn, "Why did you tell Jiro Yoshida the action plan and talk to him about surrendering himself? Wouldn't it be good for you to tell him directly that we will definitely kill him?"
Feng Jiusi didn't take it seriously, he smiled and said, "Even if I don't tell him the action plan, he will protect himself tightly, just like what we did when we reconnaissed yesterday. If you scare him a lot, he will be at a loss instead."
The leader stared at Tuo with wide eyes, as if looking at a monster.Feng Jiusi had no choice but to explain with a smile: "The Japanese are very suspicious. Yoshida Jiro is a spy, and he is even more suspicious. If I say I want to kill him, he will definitely suspect that his current protection measures are not strict enough and strengthen his guard. Think of a new way; but if I say I’m going to surrender, it will fill his heart with doubts, which may create new opportunities for us.” The leader asked: “What new opportunities?” Feng Jiusi said with a smile: “ We can only adapt to the situation when the time comes, but it’s hard to say now.”
The leader shook his head and said: "Now we have several comrades arrested every day, and it would be too dangerous not to evacuate. Therefore, the assassination of Yoshida Jiro is the key to the operation, and there is no room for jokes."
Feng Jiusi also said seriously: "This matter started because of me, so of course I have to solve it myself."
The leader asked: "Do you need some helpers, I will send them to you."
Feng Jiusi waved his hand lightly and said: "This matter is not about siege. Too many people are useless. Just let 'Kingfisher' go with me. In addition, Zhou Xiaocun has already handed over the documents and codebook. It is time to explain. I have also explained everything, it is useless to keep him, let him give him a chance to make meritorious deeds and atone for his crimes."
The leader watched his expression carefully, but didn't answer for a while.He knew that the leader should be able to guess that he must have made a promise to Zhou Xiaocun in private, otherwise Zhou Xiaocun would not cooperate so actively.But the leader is very wise, never asked about this matter, and now it is time for him to fulfill his promise to Zhou Xiaocun, he hopes that the leader can continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
The leader finally said: "Zhou Xiaocun is a man of great powers, so he should be of some help to you, but you must not let the enemy catch him, lest he change his confession and speak for the Japanese." His indulgence was filled with gratitude.However, the leader still chased after him: "If he is likely to be captured, you must kill him." Then the leader said with a heavy expression: "Your visit is so bad, do you have anything to explain to the organization?" Feng Jiusi knew that the leader must be worried that he would die with Jiro Yoshida like Yang Bingxin, and wanted to hear his last words, but he just raised his hand and saluted like a soldier: "I promise to complete the task."
Seeing him like this, the leader shed tears, hugged him warmly, and emphasized again: "You must come back alive." Then the leader fastened the Japanese "consulate user" armband, pushed the bicycle and left.
After breaking up with the leader, he returned to the hidden place again.When Miss Lan and Zhou Xiaocun saw him, they asked: "Does the leader agree with our plan?" He smiled and said, "Of course, who am I, the leader must be satisfied with the idea I came up with." Miss Lan asked again: "Will this method work?" It's too risky, how could the leader agree with you to surrender yourself?"
He glanced at the preoccupied Zhou Xiaocun and said, "I didn't tell the truth to the leader, at least I didn't tell all of our plans."
Miss Lan immediately said angrily: "You just can't get rid of this bad habit. If you think you are smart, you will suffer in the end."
He just smiled, thinking that Miss Lan was just a woman's opinion, so he said to Zhou Xiaocun: "Brother Zhou, I have already handed over Yang Bingxin's son to the leader, but your daughters are two Miss Jiao, and they will definitely not be able to eat them if they are sent to the base area." What a pain, what can you do?"
Zhou Xiaocun sighed and said, "Now I can only listen to your arrangements."
Feng Jiusi smiled and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to raise your daughters for you. You have to feed them well, receive the best education, and find them son-in-law. It's too troublesome. You should do it yourself."
He said this because he was still a little uneasy about Zhou Xiaocun. After all, Zhou Xiaocun had just betrayed once when he paid the ransom a few days ago, so he deliberately tried it out.Zhou Xiaocun asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
Feng Jiusi took out the gold seal that Zhou Xiaocun entrusted to him before being interrogated by the leader, handed it to him and said, "What I mean is, you go now, I can't help you, and don't stay here and cause me trouble After saying these words, he knew that if Zhou Xiaocun ran away, he would make another mistake and disobeyed the leader's order. However, since a man made a word, it was hard to follow. Since he promised to let Zhou Xiaocun escape afterwards, he must not break his promise .At this moment, the only thing he could count on was a few pleasant words that Zhou Xiaocun might say, so that his great righteousness would be settled and he could be satisfied psychologically.
Zhou Xiaocun took the golden seal but shook his head and said: "This is not a way, let me go in private, your leader will definitely blame you, this is not how friends get along; moreover, even if I escape to the rear now, There must be no peace, the Japanese spies are all-pervasive, and Jiro Yoshida is a man with all-hands and eyes, let alone in the rear, even if I fled to South America, it would not be difficult for Jiro Yoshida to send local Japanese spies to assassinate me—I He must have hated me for confessing the truth about the 'Yoshida incident' on the radio."
Therefore, Feng Jiusi thought that his judgment was correct, and felt relieved, so he asked, "What do you think should be done?" Zhou Xiaocun smiled bitterly and said, "Is there any other way? We can only kill Jiro Yoshida, and he dies." After that, the personal enmity will disappear, and the concession will be opened at that time, no matter where the three of us go, there will no longer be a Japanese spy chief ordering his subordinates to chase us for personal enmity."
Feng Jiusi thought that Zhou Xiaocun was really thoughtful, so he asked Miss Lan for her opinion.Miss Lan said: "Mr. Zhou is a gentleman, he will not lie, and he stayed for us all."
He nodded, although Zhou Xiaocun is not as loyal and reliable as his comrades, but in this matter as long as he has selfishness, it is fine.Selfishness is the best motivation for a person, and besides, they are still grasshoppers tied to a rope. If Jiro Yoshida is not killed, they will not have a stable life, even if he escapes to a small island in Nanyang with Miss Lan. Safety.
Zhou Xiaocun went back to the basement to make bombs, and Feng Jiusi lifted the curtains a little, and carefully observed Yoshida Jiro's house across the street.The house they are staying in now is Anderson's residence.
After the Japanese army occupied the concession, they gathered all the Westerners in several big hotels such as the Queen, Taylor, and Astor. First they said they were waiting for the passenger ship to transport them to a third country, and later they said that people of British and American nationality must stay in the hotel. Waiting to be sent to a concentration camp in Shandong in the future. For this reason, many good houses were vacated in the concession.The reason why Feng Jiusi chose Anderson's house was that although the house was dangerous, it was too beneficial for assassinating Jiro Yoshida.Of course, since Anderson is a British citizen, the house was sealed off on the day the Japanese army occupied the concession. There was a seal on the door, and no one would live in for a while. Hiding here is better than going to the hidden place prepared for him by the organization. Security—it's not that he doesn't believe in the organization, but that the Japanese soldiers are carrying photos of him and Zhou Xiaojian to search door to door in the concession these days. He doesn't want to bring danger to the comrades who are covering him.
Of course, there is also his selfishness in this, because he wants to fulfill his promise to Zhou Xiaocun and release him secretly without being discovered by his comrades.He thinks it is not difficult to deceive Miss Lan in this matter, but it is too difficult to do it under the eyes of other comrades, which is why he refuses to accept the help of the leader.Zhou Xiaocun must have understood his painstaking efforts, so he took the risk to get explosives and detonators, and insisted on staying to help him complete the task.
At this time, he saw that Jiro Yoshida came back in the captured Rolls-Royce sedan belonging to the executive of Jardine Matheson Co., followed by a truck full of soldiers.Yesterday he observed that after Jiro Yoshida returned home, these soldiers would closely guard his house. Under such circumstances, if he wanted to go in and assassinate Jiro Yoshida, it would be very difficult without a platoon of regular troops. .
Yoshida Jiro praised him for making good use of the "thirty-six strategies". Now that the matter has reached a critical moment, the lives of more than 200 revolutionary comrades and the leaders of the central government are at stake, but he can't think of what strategy should be used. I can't remember all the content in the "Thirty-Six Strategies", let alone use it flexibly.
At this time, Miss Lan brought him a cup of coffee, and then leaned against him and said, "I've been waiting and looking forward to it. I desperately want to marry you. You can't just risk your life like this, or you'll be too sorry for me." Feng Jiusi turned his head, looked into her eyes carefully and asked, "What do you want from me?" Miss Lan said, "If you surrender yourself, the result will definitely be death, so I will die with you too." Feng Jiusi smiled and said: "Although I surrendered myself, I have already thought of a way to get out." Miss Lan said angrily: "Do you remember that I slapped you a few days ago? What I hate is that you are so smart, what are you doing?" The way to get out, you were caught by the Japanese devils, do you still want to survive?" Feng Jiusi could only try to persuade him: "Yoshida Jiro is not an ordinary Japanese devil, he is a gentleman, I am best at dealing with this kind of people. All I met were Japanese soldiers, so I was like 'a scholar meets a soldier, I can't explain why', and I couldn't escape."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Miss Lan suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Are you still planning to take me to Nanyang to live a happy life? You promised me this."
Feng Jiusi couldn't help sighing, this is the strength of a woman, originally she wanted to take him to Nanyang to live a happy life, but now she can easily turn this topic into his promise to her, and turn around to make further demands .Sure enough, Miss Lan continued: "Although the leader has accepted me again, we won't be able to leave for a while, but it doesn't mean that we will never be able to leave, so you have to tell me the truth. You don't want to take me to Nanyang?"
What a woman, because Miss Lan has now turned every question into a promise that needs him to implement it, Feng Jiusi can't help but sigh in his heart.So he said: "The Japanese are attacking the Nanyang Islands. I'm afraid I won't be able to go there, but I will still live a happy life with you. No matter where I go, I am willing to take you with me."
He felt that he answered quite satisfactorily, and he also laid the groundwork. This is because, when he met with the leader just now, the leader told him that the organization had assigned him a new task and asked him to solve Jiro Yoshida. Set off for Hong Kong, which has been occupied by the Japanese army.He hopes that Miss Lan can go with him, but all of this should be based on the premise that he can successfully assassinate Yoshida Jiro, open the concession, and rescue all trapped comrades, and more importantly, he has to survive. Row.He knew that his plan was really dangerous, and if he was not careful, he might be loyal to the party. At that time, living a small life would be nothing but empty talk.
I don't want to, but Miss Lan still has questions. She asked: "You said that you are living with me, do you plan to marry me as a wife? It is the kind of monogamous 'wife'." Feng Jiusi thinks that Miss Lan has this It should be normal to be concerned, so he held her face, kissed her lightly on the lips, and said, "Yes, from now on, you are my wife."
Miss Lan's face was very happy, but she still said: "I have to wait for the leader to tell me before I can believe it. I can't believe all of your words. Later, your wife in the country came to Hong Kong with seven or eight children to look for her." You, I have no face to see them."
It was only then that Feng Jiusi realized that the leader had already told Ms. Lan about sending them to Hong Kong, so she was here to hammer the nail on the head.So he laughed and said: "No one has more ghosts than you." Miss Lan said: "Everyone knows that you are a ghost, I have to be careful."
Although these words were half-joking and half-serious, Feng Jiusi knew that he couldn't be out of shape at this time.So he said sternly: "I have never been married, and I have never been engaged. I will marry you, whether it is now or in the future." It's the ghost of the Feng family..."
Feng Jiusi quickly stopped her and said, "Don't swear by your relatives, our family name is not Feng..."
Miss Lan also smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, actually my surname is not Lan..."
Therefore, Feng Jiusi warned himself, you can't just die like this, you should live well, otherwise I'm sorry for Miss Lan's infatuation, and I'm sorry for the leader's trust and reliance on you that has just been restored.
