Chapter 213 The Pharmacy Owner Leaving the City
Chapter 213 The Pharmacy Owner Leaving the City
The next morning.
Yongdingmen checkpoint.
People waiting to leave the city formed long queues.
Although the gendarmerie headquarters did not directly close the city gates, it required strict checks at the checkpoints exiting the city on all people leaving the city. Anyone with gun calluses on their hands, abnormal speech or behavior, or problems with their household registration or good citizen certificate would be arrested.
This method really worked. In the morning, we caught three or four members of the action team who wanted to sneak out of the city.
Mao Wanli sat in a carriage, wearing a thick cotton robe. He coughed from time to time, with his hands in his sleeves, and looked at the team anxiously from time to time.
Finally it was his turn. The military police searched the carriage from top to bottom and asked Mao Wanli to stretch out his hands for a careful inspection.
"Certificate!"
Mao Wanli nodded and took out his household registration certificate and good citizen certificate, "Madam, Madam, I am the shopkeeper of Jishitang Pharmacy. This time I am leaving the city to go to Anguo to buy medicine. Buying medicine means buying medicine."
The military police shouted, "You are a rebel!"
Mao Wanli's legs went limp and he knelt down, his face filled with fear. He clasped his hands together and begged for mercy, "Your Highness, Your Highness! I am a good citizen! When the imperial army entered the city, I delivered medicine and visited the wounded. I am just a medicine seller, not a rebel!"
The military police laughed and pulled him up. A patrolman came running over. The military police were short-handed, so they transferred some people from the Beijing Police Department to help check at the city gate.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Wu, are we leaving the city?"
"Shopkeeper Wu" seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, "General, General, please help me explain, I am just a drugstore owner, how can I be a rebel!"
The patrolman smiled at the military policeman and said, "Madam, this is indeed a good citizen. Look at his hands, which are used to take people's pulses all day long. They are as soft as a woman's. They don't look like the hands of a rebel at all!"
When the military police saw his cowardly look, they waved their hands and let him go.
Mao Wanli left the city like this.
Mao Wanli didn't look back until the city wall was about to disappear from his sight.
Jiao Zhenguo, I fuck your grandma!
You have brought great harm to Peking Station!
It turned out that after Jiao Zhenguo's old servant sent a telegram to the headquarters, the headquarters was shocked. Now Peking and Shanghai are the forefront of obtaining intelligence. The Japanese have beaten the people in Shanghai so badly that they can't raise their heads. Today one person is arrested, and tomorrow another is arrested. Both the intelligence ability and the action ability are greatly affected and are basically in a semi-paralyzed state.
If the Beiping Station is caught again now, then there is no point in setting up the Military Intelligence Bureau. Everyone can just go home and hug their children.
Boss Dai issued an urgent order that all senior executives of the Peking Station should evacuate, with some going to Tianjin and some to Baocheng. They should wait and see for a while before returning to the city. The Telecommunications Office should remain silent, neither sending nor receiving. All radio stations should be relocated, and all members of the action team should immediately leave their safe bases and leave the city on their own or find another safe place to hide.
After a series of operations, the structure of the Peking Station was finally saved from being destroyed. However, due to the efficiency of information transmission, many members of the operation team were still arrested.
Fortunately, isolation was established between each level, and Mao Wanli and others all fled.
Even so, the Peking Station suffered serious damage this time.
Mao Wanli was filled with hatred!
I am still hoping to make achievements in Peiping and become a general in the future!
If we had known this would happen, we should have arrested Jiao Zhenguo and put him under internal investigation some time ago!
........
The arrest operation lasted for several days. Lin Ze led the team out to arrest people from time to time, and the temporary prison behind the headquarters was almost full.
However, the number of people captured was far greater than the number of members of the action team. Needless to say, these devils could not stop themselves in the end. They captured anyone who had anything to do with this matter and was worth blackmailing.
Needless to say, Peking's businessmen had to bleed again this time.
March 3rd of this year's Gregorian calendar is the second day of the second lunar month, the day when the dragon raises its head. Lin Ze finally ended this "business trip".
Call Niu Saner to come and pick me up.
As soon as he got in the car, Niu Saner said, "Master, you don't know, the phone in the office is almost broken by calls, all for you."
"What are you looking for me for?"
"Rescue them. The headquarters has arrested a lot of people this time. Everyone can only use their own skills. I told them that you are not here and are on official business, but they still won't give in."
"Everyone knows that the headquarters' prison is not a place for people to stay, but this time it's a big deal. No matter if you arrested the wrong person or not, I don't have the ability to get him out. If you get calls from me later, just block them and say that I'm on a mission and can't contact the outside world."
There are barber stalls everywhere on the street, and adults and children all get their heads cut on this day.
Niu Saner said, "Master, I found a barber who often goes to Jiaomin Lane. He has very good skills. He is waiting for us in the office. Should we go there first or go home first?"
Well, Niu Saner has grown a lot.
"Let's go to the office first. It's time to get a haircut."
He went to the office and had his hair cut by a master hairstylist. Then he ate the fried candied beans bought by Niu Saner while signing the documents that had been left over in the past few days.
At this time, the phone rang. Lin Ze looked at Niu Saner, and Niu Saner understood and came over to answer it.
"Hello? Oh!"
After hearing a few words from the other side, Niu Saner quickly handed over the microphone and whispered, "It's not someone who's trying to save someone, it's Director Gao."
Lin Ze took the phone and asked, "Director, what do you want?"
"Shengmin! I heard from Saito that you guys are done with your work, so I called you right away. Today is February 2nd, let's find a place to eat spring pancakes and have a couple of drinks!"
According to the custom in Beijing, people eat spring pancakes in addition to sugar beans on the second day of the second lunar month. Those who are poor will eat spring pancakes with bean sprouts, while those who are rich will eat spring pancakes with pork elbow in sauce.
"Director, I haven't been home for a while. Let me go home first. How about we have dinner together tonight?"
"Of course, of course. Go home and have a good rest and take a bath. We'll have dinner in the restaurant tonight. The young lady from Wu County will roll spring pancakes for us herself. Haha!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ze laughed inwardly. Lao Gao's mentality was very interesting. It was more than just eating spring rolls when he came to see him.
He wanted to inquire about the situation of this major operation. People are always worried about gains and losses. In the past, the headquarters always asked him to do tasks, but he thought it was tiring and dangerous. Now that the headquarters doesn't ask him anymore, he feels a little lost and can't help but guess, is there any opinion from the higher-ups about me?
After signing the rest of the documents, Lin Ze wanted to take the remaining candy beans home, but he didn't expect that Niu Saner had already prepared two copies.
When they got home, Xiyue and Ruoxue naturally rushed over to him in surprise. They hugged him happily at first, and then started crying.
"Hey, the dragon is raising its head. Don't cry. It's unlucky."
Xiyue burst into laughter and said, "No matter when we cry, Master always says it's unlucky."
Lin Ze handed them the fried sugar beans and said, "I'm hungry. It's noon and I haven't eaten yet."
On weekdays when he was not at home, the two sisters just had a quick bite. When Xiyue heard that Lin Ze was hungry, she quickly asked her sister to light the fire, and she quickly went to the second meat shop at the entrance of the alley to buy vegetables, intending to make a good meal for Lin Ze.
