It was late at night. In the conference room on the second floor of the Shanghai Military Control Commission’s Public Security Administration Committee, Zhang Qiao was operating a slide projector on his desk and projecting the data photos onto the white curtain hanging on the wall.
At this moment, the bust of a man appeared on the curtain. He was wearing a white old-style long gown with his hands behind his back, and his body looked very tall and burly.
Zhang Qiao pointed to the curtain and introduced: This person's name is Chen Gongpeng. He was once the director of the Second Department of the Secretariat of the Pseudo-National Defense Ministry, a major general of the Military Control Commission, a chief spy leader, and a confidant of Mao Renfeng.More than half a year ago, Mao Renfeng was sent from Zhoushan to Shanghai to guide the work, with the purpose of undermining the public security, financial and market order in Shanghai and cooperating with the Kuomintang reactionaries to counterattack.This Chen Gongpeng has a very special position in the Secret Service. He is not only an ace agent of the Military Control Commission, but also an old man from the "Tong" generation of the Shanghai Qing Gang, and the leader of the China Mountain of the Red Gang. He can be said to be an absolute big shot.
While listening, the Shuangying walked to the coffee table and poured himself a glass of water, saying: As far as I know, the Qing Gang seems to be the same as Brother Pao, both of which originated from the Tiandihui in the early Qing Dynasty, right?
Zhang Qiao pressed the button on the slide projector and switched to the second photo. The photo shows an old ancestral hall, and the plaque at the main entrance of the ancestral hall reads Xiaodao Temple.
Zhang Qiao continued: Yes.Shuangying, this time you disguise yourself as the Green Gang’s elder brother lurking undercover, so you need to have more control over the situation of the Green Gang.You are right. The Qing Gang and Pao Ge are from the same origin, both of which originated from the Tiandihui in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.The Qing Gang once appeared in many heroes. The photo you saw was the Xiaodao Temple in Songjiang Mansion, which is also the sacred place of the Qing Gang.The Xiaodaohui held high the banner of righteousness here in the late Qing Dynasty, overthrew the Qing government and fought against foreigners.
Yàn Shuangying nodded and said: It turns out that Xiaodao will be the predecessor of the Qing Gang.I heard that the member of the Xiaodao Society wrapped his head in red scarf, was brave and good at fighting, and had excellent sword skills, and was finally wiped out by the Qing government and foreigners.
Zhang Qiao said: Yes, the rules and generations within the Qing Gang were very strict. The generations passed down were "clear and quiet morality, literary achievements of Buddhism, originally from faith, Yuan and Ming dynasties, and Datong's enlightenment". By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the Qing Gang was passed on to the "big generation".Among the Qing Gang figures of the "big" generation, many of them were heroes of the Republic of China, such as Chen Qimei, Zhang Renkui, Xiang Haiqian, etc. These people joined the revolution and participated in the Wuchang Uprising, making great contributions to overthrowing the Qing government.The most famous one is the Grand Governor Chen Qimei.
He switched the slide projector to the next photo of Chen Qimei in military uniform and continued: This is Chen Qimei, who is the best among the "big" generation of the Qing Gang. He served as the governor of Shanghai after the Wuchang Uprising and was later assassinated by Yuan Shikai's minion Xu Guolin.After Chen Qimei's death, with the warlords' melee, many figures from the "big" generation of the Qing Gang retired from the political arena and came to Shanghai to open a society and establish a stadium, collecting disciples, and many gangsters and spies and killers worshipped under their disciples. This ceremony was called worshiping the old man.Chiang Kai-shek once appointed Huang Jinrong, a tycoon of the Shanghai "Tong" generation, as his teacher, Mao Renfeng, director of the Bureau of Secretariat, and Zheng Jiemin, deputy director of the Ministry of National Defense, were also members of the Qinghong Gang.The disciples and disciples accepted by the "big" generation are the "tong" generation, and the disciples of the "tong" generation are the "wu" generation.
Zhang Qiao continued to switch photos, and the curtain changed into a photo of three old men wearing old-style long gowns and folding fans.
He said: Since then, there have been mixed with dragons and snakes, and black and white. With these people's desire to pursue fame and fortune, by the 1930s and 1940s, the Shanghai Qing Gang had completely changed its quality and became a gangster organization.Robbery and drug trafficking, killing and robbing goods, and doing all kinds of evil.It can be said that the "Tong" generation and the "Wu" generation are just people who compete for fame and fortune and are cruel and vicious.Some even became Japanese traitors during the War of Resistance Against Japan. The photos you see are the most famous three tycoons in Shanghai, Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin.These three people are representatives of the "Tong" generation and the "Wu" generation.Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin are from the "Tong" generation, while Du Yuesheng is from the "Wu" generation. Later, because Zhang Xiaolin surrendered to Japan, he was assassinated by the Military Intelligence Agency spies.
Yàn Shuangying looked at the curtain and nodded: I have heard of these three people.
Zhang Qiao then switched the photos, and a middle-aged man with a smile appeared on the curtain, who waved to the camera in front of the aircraft cabin door.
YànShuangying asked: Who is he?
Zhang Qiao replied: He is Jin Jiuling, an old man from the Qing Gang generation, and fled to Hong Kong after liberation.
Yàn raised his eyebrows and said: My identity is his apprentice, the eldest brother of the "Wu" generation of the Qing Gang?
Zhang Qiao couldn't help but smile and asked: Oh?!How did you know?!
Yàn Shuangying also smiled faintly and said: Analysis.
Zhang Qiao nodded and said: The analysis is very accurate!Jin Jiuling is a famous shark in the Qing Gang, which means that he has many apprentices and is overly attracted.According to insiders, he had collected more than 3,000 disciples and disciples, and he couldn't even remember them himself.
Yàn Shuangying continued: This is just for me, and the enemy has no idea how to investigate.
That's right.Zhang Qiao nodded, took out a booklet from his pocket, and handed it to Yàn Shuangying and said: This is the rules and incision of the Qing Gang, you must memorize it.
Then, Zhang Qiao cut the photo back to the first one just now, and the back of the burly man appeared on the curtain again.
He said: Chen Gongpeng's identity in the Qing Gang is the "Tong" generation, which is just like Huang Jinrong, and is one generation higher than Du Yuesheng of the "Wu" generation.After he sneaked into Shanghai, as a special commissioner of the Central Party Committee of the Kuomintang, he not only unified the thousands of spies sent by the Secret Service to lurk in Shanghai and set up commands, but also brought the Qinggang Hengshe, Renshe, Zhongxinshe, and the members of the Five Elements Mountain Qinghongshe who had become lonely ghosts after liberation, as well as members of the No. 76 Special Agent Organization who had served in the Wang Puppet Regiment regime and the fleeing Japanese spies, forming a huge underground enemy special organization called the Guangfushe.
Good guy, a big deal.Yàn Shuangyingxin said, and couldn't help but look at this mysterious back again, and couldn't help but interrupt and asked: Why are there only photos of the back?
Because so far, no one has ever seen his true face.
Zhang Qiao's tone became a little solemn. He pointed to the curtain and said: This photo of the back was posted before a intelligence officer who invaded the enemy's internal death.
It seems that the task this time is not that simple. Yàn Shuangying nodded thoughtfully and said: Sorry to interrupt you, please continue.
Zhang Qiao switched the photos, and the curtain showed RMB and a stack of silver dollars commonly known as Yuan Datou.
He introduced: The one thousand yuan banknote you see is the newly issued RMB, and next to it is the silver dollar we are commonplace.Just a few months after Shanghai was liberated, the RMB had just been put on the market.Because the general public has suffered from the Kuomintang gold coupons, they do not believe in the credit of the RMB and are still in the wait-and-see stage.The physical currency silver dollars, called "hard currency", became the actual major currency in the market circulation.Therefore, if you want to promote the circulation and use of RMB, silver dollars and counterfeit banknotes are the biggest enemies.Can you understand what I said?
Yàn Shuangying replied: If the government wants to promote the circulation of RMB, it must eliminate silver dollars and counterfeit banknotes.
Zhang Qiao smiled and praised: You are such a very smart person.Complex questions make you summarize into the simplest sentence.
He then switched the photos, and a page of paper appeared on the curtain with a table and numbers listed in several rows.
Zhang Qiao introduced: This table talks about the price changes of RMB to silver dollars within a week.
Yàn Double Eagle felt that these numbers were getting closer and closer to the core part of this mission. He began to analyze it carefully and after a moment he came to the conclusion: On Monday, he bought a silver dollar, and on Thursday, it rose to 2,800 yuan per dollar!
Zhang Qiao said: You are very correct. This is the conspiracy between Chen Gongpeng and his gang and the Guangfu Society.
YànShuangying's face changed: Oh?!
Zhang Qiao said: After Chen Gongpeng came to Shanghai, he sensitively realized that the RMB and silver dollars were an available opportunity. While he used the relationship between the former Military Control Commission in Shanghai, he won over a large number of large speculators in old Shanghai and manipulated the black market transactions of silver dollars.These people bought low and sold high, and within a few days, the price of silver dollars surged from 600 yuan per piece to 2,800 yuan.Since silver dollars are actually used currency, its rise has led to market chaos and prices soared.In addition, the lack of materials and prices change three times a day, and the daily lives of the general public cannot be guaranteed at all, especially the working people at the lower class, who are not well fed or worn.
Yàn Shuangying couldn't help but curse: These beasts!
Zhang Qiao continued: On the other hand, Chen Gongpeng led his spies and gang members to fake RMB and put it on the market, which made the already chaotic market even worse.At present, in the eyes of the general public, the RMB has almost become a replica of the gold dollar coupon, and the situation can be said to be extremely critical.
Yàn Shuangying said: Director Zhang, the Military Control Commission should organize vital forces as soon as possible to completely crush the sabotage activities of the Restoration Society, and eliminate silver dollar speculation and counterfeit banknotes.
Zhang Qiao sighed and said: It’s easy to say, but it’s difficult to do!
Yàn Shuangying frowned and asked: Oh?!Why?
Zhang Qiao said: Due to the critical situation, the Military Control Commission ordered the Public Security Administration Committee and the Shanghai Working Committee to do everything possible to resolutely crush the enemy's conspiracy, restore Shanghai's financial market order as soon as possible, and safeguard the people's daily lives.After receiving the order, the Governance and Management Committee and the Working Committee quickly established an Iron Fluid Action Group, which was led by Comrade Gu Yunxiao, director of the Public Security Management Committee, and I served as the group leader, and Comrade Ma Xiaoying, deputy director of the Working Committee, was appointed as the deputy group leader.After the group was established, they took quick action, dispatched military and police to crack down on the silver dollar black market, and reconnaissed the counterfeit banknote production sites.
YànShuangying asked: Is it effective?
Zhang Qiao said with a serious expression: Since we cannot control the list of large speculators who trade in black market, we only arrested some silver dollar dealers and banned the black market silver dollar trading venues, causing silver dollar transactions to be transferred from the ground to the ground, but we cannot fundamentally stop speculative trading.
YànShuangying asked again: How can we get a list of speculators?
Zhang Qiao said: Those big speculators that manipulate black market transactions are controlled by Chen Gongpeng's confidant, the code-named "Old Fox"."Old Fox" has a list of speculators of twenty-seven people. If you don't get this list, you will not be able to defeat all the public enemies in one place.
Yàn Shuangying nodded when he heard this.
Zhang Qiao said while switching photos: What is even more troublesome is the reconnaissance of counterfeit money.
Yàn Shuangying turned his head and looked at the curtain, which surprised him.
What appeared on the curtain at this moment was the thing in the suitcase on the train!
I heard Zhang Qiao continue to say: The most important thing in manufacturing counterfeit money is two steps: one is to cast templates, and the other is to print money in different colors.At its core is the casting of the template...
Yàn Shuangying couldn't help but pointing at the curtain and interjected: Is this the template for fake money?!
Zhang Qiao nodded and said: That's right.The cunning Chen Gongpeng is worthy of being a special agent. In order to counter-reconnaissance, he divided the casting mold and printing money to form two secret underground institutions.One is an underground formwork foundry, and the other is an underground banknote printing factory.These two parts do not interact with each other. After the foundry casts the template, it handes it over to the delivery man. The delivery man handes the template to the delivery man, and the delivery man handes it to Chen Gongpeng, who is personally assigned by Chen Gongpeng to send it to the printing factory.Such a secret and complex underground program has brought great difficulty to reconnaissance work.Our undercover staff went through a lot of hardships and even paid the price of their lives, and all they got was such a program. No one really got into the core secrets, which made us very puzzled.
Yàn Shuangying took out the cigarette and took a deep breath, saying: If you want to dig out the underground casting and printing banknote printing factory and arrest the black market speculator, you must have a capable scout undercover and go to the enemy to find out the location of the casting factory and the printing banknote printing factory, and get the list of speculators from the "Old Fox", right?
Zhang Qiao nodded and said: Yes.
Yàn Shuangying said: This is why I was transferred here.
Zhang Qiao nodded again: That's right.
Yàn Shuangying lowered her head and thought for a while, and said: Can you tell me about the situation of several comrades who came to the Liberation Society before me.
Zhang Qiao said: OK.In the past six months, we have sent five scouts to invade the enemy, but because of insufficient fighting experience, the enemy has seen through it in a very short time.Either sacrifice or the inability to continue working because of the exposure of identity.So far, only one intelligence officer No. 507 is still living inside the enemy.
Yàn Shuangying was waiting for Zhang Qiao to continue talking. Seeing that he stopped and was silent, he couldn't help but ask: Is it over?!
Zhang Qiao said: It's over.
I thought the situation of undercover work would be more detailed, but I only heard Zhang Qiao's brief introduction. Yàn Shuangying couldn't help but ask: Didn't you find any valuable situation?
Zhang Qiao said solemnly: We try our best to disguise their identities. Sometimes I even think it is perfect, but I can't gain the trust of the other party. This Chen Gongpeng seems to be born with eyes behind his back.
It seems that the current undercover and reconnaissance work is at this level. Yàn Shuangying changed his tone and asked: How did you think of me?
Zhang Qiao said seriously: A few days ago, I saw an internal reference from the Southwest Bureau, which detailed the entire process of the Fourth Field Scout Yàn Shuangying disguised himself as a disguised as a double eagle, who broke the underground spy network with the Military Mediation and the Chongqing Working Committee.Then I decided to invite you to Shanghai, and with your rich experience in fighting against the enemy, we will enter the Liberation Society, find the list of silver dollar speculators, destroy the underground printing institutions, and arrest a large number of lurking spies led by Chen Gongpeng.
Yàn Shuangying nodded and said: I understand.
Zhang Qiao said anxiously: Black market silver dollar trading has dragged Shanghai's economy to the brink of collapse, and the popularity of counterfeit banknotes has made it even worse.Since it takes a long time to make a counterfeit banknote template, the current number of counterfeit banknotes is still in its infancy, but the harm is already very huge.Once a large number of templates are released, the number of counterfeit banknotes will surge, and by then the economic situation in Shanghai will be devastating.In addition, Chen Gongpeng also ordered his subordinates to sell opium and carry out a series of assassinations and sabotage operations. Therefore, Comrade Shuangying, we must act immediately!
YànShuangying lowered her head and said uh, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly raised three fingers to Zhang Qiao.
Zhang Qiao immediately understood and asked with a smile: Three conditions?!
Yàn Double Eagle nodded and said: Smart.
Zhang Qiao said seriously: Tell me and see.
Yàn Shuangying said: First, there is a single-line connection between you and me.None of your superiors and subordinates knows the relationship between us.
Zhang Qiao said: OK, I agree.What about the second one?
Yàn Shuangying said: You must have autonomy in your actions and do not need to report everything.
Zhang Qiao nodded and said: I agree.
Yàn Shuangying said: Third, I want to penetrate into the Liberation Society in my own way.
Zhang Qiao suddenly looked a little embarrassed and said: But the organization has already arranged it for you...
Yàn Shuangying waved his hand to stop Zhang Qiao from continuing to talk. He interrupted: Judging from the results of the undercover comrades in the past, your method is not suitable for me, only for Chen Gongpeng.
Zhang Qiao couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said: If you catch up with the party and rectification movement, you must be the rightist.
Yàn Shuangying said seriously: I am not a puppet, I just hope to complete the tasks assigned to me by the organization.
Zhang Qiao thought about it, then took a deep breath, and said with a wry smile: OK, I agree.Everything will do as you say.
But Zhang Qiao obviously accepted this last request a little reluctantly.
Yàn Shuangying stretched out his right hand to Zhang Qiao and said solemnly: One word is certain.
Zhang Qiao also stretched out his right hand: One word is determined.
The two shook hands in front of the slide projector, and the shadows of the shaking palms covered the photo of the fake banknote template on the curtain.
Also, this thing, Yàn Double Eagle pointed to the photo on the curtain and said calmly: I've seen it.
Zhang Qiao thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked in surprise: Are you talking about a fake banknote template?!
Yàn Double Eagle nodded and said yes.
Zhang Qiao glared and asked again: Have you really seen it?!
Yàn Shuangying said seriously: Yes.
Zhang Qiao asked in surprise: Where?!
Yàn Shuangying said: On the hijacked train.At that time, I killed a robber, and suddenly I heard someone shouting in the No. 5 box. It was a robber in charge of searching in the box. He excitedly said that he had found something and asked his companions to report the news quickly.I then killed this person and got a black suitcase he found.In the suitcase are two cast aluminum templates with Arabic numerals and Chinese capitals engraved with 1,000 yuan, as well as some patterns and portraits, but they are all reversed.
Zhang Qiao said excitedly: Not bad!That's the counterfeit banknote template!Could it be that something like this is really a coincidence?Double Eagles, did the black suitcase burnt in the flames?!
Yàn Twin Eagle still told him calmly: I hid it in the ventilation opening on the top of the hostage car.
A shining light suddenly appeared in Zhang Qiao's eyes: In other words, the suitcase is still there?!
Yàn Double Eagle nodded and said: Yes.
Walk!Zhang Qiao didn't want to delay for a moment. He couldn't wait to pull the Yàn Shuangying and walked out, and said anxiously: Let's go and take a look right away!
Alas... Yàn Shuangying quickly stopped him and reminded: Do I need to disguise myself as my current identity?
Zhang Qiao smiled awkwardly: Hi!Look at me, I forgot the most important thing, and I will ask someone to prepare it for you immediately.
********************
Then, the Yàn Double Eagle wore a black baseball cap, lowered the brim and disguised itself as an ordinary citizen.
Zhang Qiao, who was excited, drove a military jeep and returned to Shanghai North Railway Station. It was already past three o'clock in the morning. They cleverly avoided the sight of the station staff and entered the 1315 train parked in the locomotive section.
Yàn Shuangying retrieved the black suitcase from the vent on the roof of the No. 5 car. Zhang Qiao confirmed that this was the new version of the counterfeit banknote template of 1,000 yuan.
Then, the two arrived at the wreckage of the train after the explosion and conducted another survey of the No. 9 carriage.
On the aisle of this carriage, Yàn Shuangying pointed to the door of the No. 5 box and said to Zhang Qiao: This is the No. 5 box.
Zhang Qiao took the flashlight and took a careful look in the private room, but there was no new discovery.
Zhang Qiao asked: Comrade Shuangying, what kind of person is holding the black suitcase?
Yàn Shuangying shook her head and replied: I'm not sure about this.
Zhang Qiao asked strangely: Oh?!What's the meaning?!
Yàn Shuangying said: When I rushed into the box to grab the suitcase, in addition to the criminal, there was also a middle-aged man's body lying in this box. I don't know if he is the owner of the suitcase.
Zhang Qiao analyzed: If the criminal found a suitcase in this private room, then the deceased should be the owner of the suitcase.
Yàn Shuangying said: The situation was very tense at that time. The carjacking gangsters gathered passengers into five or six carriages, and then searched each of the private rooms in the No. 9 carriage one by one.
Zhang Qiao said: In other words, they knew that the counterfeit banknote template was hidden in this carriage.
It should be true that from the orderly actions of the robbers, they received information in advance.Yàn Shuangying nodded in agreement, frowned and said: But there is one thing that I think is strange.
Zhang Qiao's face changed: Oh?!What is it?
Yàn Shuangying said: You have said that it was the Liberation Society that planned this carjacking and explosion operation.
Zhang Qiao said: Yes.
Yàn Shuangying said: The Guangfu Society also manipulates the manufacturing of counterfeit money.
Zhang Qiao nodded and said: Yes.
Yàn Shuangying asked: If this is the case, shouldn’t this fake banknote template belong to the Liberation Society?Why did Chen Gongpeng send robbers to rob his own things?
After hearing this, Zhang Qiao couldn't help but frown. It seemed that this matter was much more complicated than expected. He said in a deep voice: You made a lot of sense, but I didn't expect this.Does the enemy have other conspiracies?
Yàn Shuangying raised his own guess: Will this carjacking operation be planned by another spy organization, intending to rob counterfeit banknote templates and fight against the Guangfu Society.
Zhang Qiao thought about it and replied: In the six months since Shanghai was liberated, we have solved more than 400 enemy special cases.According to our current situation, except for the Refu Society, no other enemy special organization has such destructive capabilities.
Yàn Shuangying said: Maybe, what you have is not accurate, or there are other reasons.
Maybe.
Zhang Qiao responded casually. When he saw the black suitcase in his hand, he couldn't help but feel very excited. He raised his eyebrows at Yàn's double eagle and said excitedly: But no matter what, the discovery of this counterfeit banknote template is a very important breakthrough.
Yàn Shuangying looked at Zhang Qiao with inquiring eyes: Oh?!
Zhang Qiao said: This train is from Nanjing to Shanghai, which means that the owner of the black suitcase is a train from Nanjing Railway Station.
Yàn Shuangying nodded and said: Yes, it's not bad.
Zhang Qiao said: From this, it is inferred that Chen Gongpeng’s counterfeit banknote template foundry is likely to be near Nanjing.
YànThe eyes of the eagle lit up: It makes sense.
Zhang Qiao looked very happy and praised with a smile: Double Eagle Ah, you are really a blessing.We have been searching for more than half a year but have not been able to figure out the source of the counterfeit banknote template. I didn't expect you to encounter this time.
Yàn Shuangying was a little embarrassed by praise and said: It’s a pity that the owner of the black suitcase is dead, otherwise...
Alas, don't worry.
Zhang Qiao interrupted him politely and encouraged: Step by step, the mysterious counterfeit banknote template surfaced, which is already a good start for us.Let's go down.
Yàn Shuangying smiled and said: OK.
Time passed quickly in my selfless work, and when they walked out of this No. 9 carriage, it was already light.
The two walked side by side along the railway tracks towards the station exit, each thinking silently about the specific plans and action arrangements for the next step.
Zhang Qiao suddenly spoke: You just said it well, about the Guangfu Society and Chen Gongpeng, we have very little information at present.It seems that you have to act right away.
Yàn Shuangying nodded seriously and agreed.
Zhang Qiao asked: Just now in the office, did you say you want to invade the enemy in your own way?
Yàn Shuangying said: Yes.
Zhang Qiao said: Say it, what do you want me to do?
YànShuangying asked: How many prisons are there in Shanghai?
Zhang Qiao replied: There are four buildings in the city.
YànShuangying asked again: Generally speaking, where are the gang members locked up?
Zhang Qiao thought for a while and said: Nanshi Prison.
Yàn Shuangying said: Tomorrow you will send me to Nanshi Prison, and give me another prison drawing, and don’t worry about the rest.
Zhang Qiao was very curious and couldn't help asking: But how do you carry out your work in prison?
Yàn Shuangying said: I will escape from prison in two days, and you are making a big splash in the radio and newspapers.
Zhang Qiao sounded a little mysterious, and I have to remind this Fu Jiang: Without our help, how could you escape from the Nanshi Prison?How can you survive after escaping?
Yàn Shuangying seemed indifferent, and he said calmly: These are the problems I want to solve, you just need to tell me how to contact you.
Zhang Qiao stopped and looked at the eyes of the double eagles, and said seriously and solemnly: Double eagles, this task is extremely arduous, it is not a joke.
Yàn Shuangying also stopped, looked at Zhang Qiao's eyes seriously, and said: That's why we have to do the most real trick.
Zhang Qiao thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said: OK.Two days later, at 12 noon, in front of the gate of the Kinmen Hotel on Nanjing Road.
Yàn Double Eagle uttered confidently and nodded: Remember.
At this moment, the bust of a man appeared on the curtain. He was wearing a white old-style long gown with his hands behind his back, and his body looked very tall and burly.
Zhang Qiao pointed to the curtain and introduced: This person's name is Chen Gongpeng. He was once the director of the Second Department of the Secretariat of the Pseudo-National Defense Ministry, a major general of the Military Control Commission, a chief spy leader, and a confidant of Mao Renfeng.More than half a year ago, Mao Renfeng was sent from Zhoushan to Shanghai to guide the work, with the purpose of undermining the public security, financial and market order in Shanghai and cooperating with the Kuomintang reactionaries to counterattack.This Chen Gongpeng has a very special position in the Secret Service. He is not only an ace agent of the Military Control Commission, but also an old man from the "Tong" generation of the Shanghai Qing Gang, and the leader of the China Mountain of the Red Gang. He can be said to be an absolute big shot.
While listening, the Shuangying walked to the coffee table and poured himself a glass of water, saying: As far as I know, the Qing Gang seems to be the same as Brother Pao, both of which originated from the Tiandihui in the early Qing Dynasty, right?
Zhang Qiao pressed the button on the slide projector and switched to the second photo. The photo shows an old ancestral hall, and the plaque at the main entrance of the ancestral hall reads Xiaodao Temple.
Zhang Qiao continued: Yes.Shuangying, this time you disguise yourself as the Green Gang’s elder brother lurking undercover, so you need to have more control over the situation of the Green Gang.You are right. The Qing Gang and Pao Ge are from the same origin, both of which originated from the Tiandihui in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.The Qing Gang once appeared in many heroes. The photo you saw was the Xiaodao Temple in Songjiang Mansion, which is also the sacred place of the Qing Gang.The Xiaodaohui held high the banner of righteousness here in the late Qing Dynasty, overthrew the Qing government and fought against foreigners.
Yàn Shuangying nodded and said: It turns out that Xiaodao will be the predecessor of the Qing Gang.I heard that the member of the Xiaodao Society wrapped his head in red scarf, was brave and good at fighting, and had excellent sword skills, and was finally wiped out by the Qing government and foreigners.
Zhang Qiao said: Yes, the rules and generations within the Qing Gang were very strict. The generations passed down were "clear and quiet morality, literary achievements of Buddhism, originally from faith, Yuan and Ming dynasties, and Datong's enlightenment". By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the Qing Gang was passed on to the "big generation".Among the Qing Gang figures of the "big" generation, many of them were heroes of the Republic of China, such as Chen Qimei, Zhang Renkui, Xiang Haiqian, etc. These people joined the revolution and participated in the Wuchang Uprising, making great contributions to overthrowing the Qing government.The most famous one is the Grand Governor Chen Qimei.
He switched the slide projector to the next photo of Chen Qimei in military uniform and continued: This is Chen Qimei, who is the best among the "big" generation of the Qing Gang. He served as the governor of Shanghai after the Wuchang Uprising and was later assassinated by Yuan Shikai's minion Xu Guolin.After Chen Qimei's death, with the warlords' melee, many figures from the "big" generation of the Qing Gang retired from the political arena and came to Shanghai to open a society and establish a stadium, collecting disciples, and many gangsters and spies and killers worshipped under their disciples. This ceremony was called worshiping the old man.Chiang Kai-shek once appointed Huang Jinrong, a tycoon of the Shanghai "Tong" generation, as his teacher, Mao Renfeng, director of the Bureau of Secretariat, and Zheng Jiemin, deputy director of the Ministry of National Defense, were also members of the Qinghong Gang.The disciples and disciples accepted by the "big" generation are the "tong" generation, and the disciples of the "tong" generation are the "wu" generation.
Zhang Qiao continued to switch photos, and the curtain changed into a photo of three old men wearing old-style long gowns and folding fans.
He said: Since then, there have been mixed with dragons and snakes, and black and white. With these people's desire to pursue fame and fortune, by the 1930s and 1940s, the Shanghai Qing Gang had completely changed its quality and became a gangster organization.Robbery and drug trafficking, killing and robbing goods, and doing all kinds of evil.It can be said that the "Tong" generation and the "Wu" generation are just people who compete for fame and fortune and are cruel and vicious.Some even became Japanese traitors during the War of Resistance Against Japan. The photos you see are the most famous three tycoons in Shanghai, Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin.These three people are representatives of the "Tong" generation and the "Wu" generation.Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin are from the "Tong" generation, while Du Yuesheng is from the "Wu" generation. Later, because Zhang Xiaolin surrendered to Japan, he was assassinated by the Military Intelligence Agency spies.
Yàn Shuangying looked at the curtain and nodded: I have heard of these three people.
Zhang Qiao then switched the photos, and a middle-aged man with a smile appeared on the curtain, who waved to the camera in front of the aircraft cabin door.
YànShuangying asked: Who is he?
Zhang Qiao replied: He is Jin Jiuling, an old man from the Qing Gang generation, and fled to Hong Kong after liberation.
Yàn raised his eyebrows and said: My identity is his apprentice, the eldest brother of the "Wu" generation of the Qing Gang?
Zhang Qiao couldn't help but smile and asked: Oh?!How did you know?!
Yàn Shuangying also smiled faintly and said: Analysis.
Zhang Qiao nodded and said: The analysis is very accurate!Jin Jiuling is a famous shark in the Qing Gang, which means that he has many apprentices and is overly attracted.According to insiders, he had collected more than 3,000 disciples and disciples, and he couldn't even remember them himself.
Yàn Shuangying continued: This is just for me, and the enemy has no idea how to investigate.
That's right.Zhang Qiao nodded, took out a booklet from his pocket, and handed it to Yàn Shuangying and said: This is the rules and incision of the Qing Gang, you must memorize it.
Then, Zhang Qiao cut the photo back to the first one just now, and the back of the burly man appeared on the curtain again.
He said: Chen Gongpeng's identity in the Qing Gang is the "Tong" generation, which is just like Huang Jinrong, and is one generation higher than Du Yuesheng of the "Wu" generation.After he sneaked into Shanghai, as a special commissioner of the Central Party Committee of the Kuomintang, he not only unified the thousands of spies sent by the Secret Service to lurk in Shanghai and set up commands, but also brought the Qinggang Hengshe, Renshe, Zhongxinshe, and the members of the Five Elements Mountain Qinghongshe who had become lonely ghosts after liberation, as well as members of the No. 76 Special Agent Organization who had served in the Wang Puppet Regiment regime and the fleeing Japanese spies, forming a huge underground enemy special organization called the Guangfushe.
Good guy, a big deal.Yàn Shuangyingxin said, and couldn't help but look at this mysterious back again, and couldn't help but interrupt and asked: Why are there only photos of the back?
Because so far, no one has ever seen his true face.
Zhang Qiao's tone became a little solemn. He pointed to the curtain and said: This photo of the back was posted before a intelligence officer who invaded the enemy's internal death.
It seems that the task this time is not that simple. Yàn Shuangying nodded thoughtfully and said: Sorry to interrupt you, please continue.
Zhang Qiao switched the photos, and the curtain showed RMB and a stack of silver dollars commonly known as Yuan Datou.
He introduced: The one thousand yuan banknote you see is the newly issued RMB, and next to it is the silver dollar we are commonplace.Just a few months after Shanghai was liberated, the RMB had just been put on the market.Because the general public has suffered from the Kuomintang gold coupons, they do not believe in the credit of the RMB and are still in the wait-and-see stage.The physical currency silver dollars, called "hard currency", became the actual major currency in the market circulation.Therefore, if you want to promote the circulation and use of RMB, silver dollars and counterfeit banknotes are the biggest enemies.Can you understand what I said?
Yàn Shuangying replied: If the government wants to promote the circulation of RMB, it must eliminate silver dollars and counterfeit banknotes.
Zhang Qiao smiled and praised: You are such a very smart person.Complex questions make you summarize into the simplest sentence.
He then switched the photos, and a page of paper appeared on the curtain with a table and numbers listed in several rows.
Zhang Qiao introduced: This table talks about the price changes of RMB to silver dollars within a week.
Yàn Double Eagle felt that these numbers were getting closer and closer to the core part of this mission. He began to analyze it carefully and after a moment he came to the conclusion: On Monday, he bought a silver dollar, and on Thursday, it rose to 2,800 yuan per dollar!
Zhang Qiao said: You are very correct. This is the conspiracy between Chen Gongpeng and his gang and the Guangfu Society.
YànShuangying's face changed: Oh?!
Zhang Qiao said: After Chen Gongpeng came to Shanghai, he sensitively realized that the RMB and silver dollars were an available opportunity. While he used the relationship between the former Military Control Commission in Shanghai, he won over a large number of large speculators in old Shanghai and manipulated the black market transactions of silver dollars.These people bought low and sold high, and within a few days, the price of silver dollars surged from 600 yuan per piece to 2,800 yuan.Since silver dollars are actually used currency, its rise has led to market chaos and prices soared.In addition, the lack of materials and prices change three times a day, and the daily lives of the general public cannot be guaranteed at all, especially the working people at the lower class, who are not well fed or worn.
Yàn Shuangying couldn't help but curse: These beasts!
Zhang Qiao continued: On the other hand, Chen Gongpeng led his spies and gang members to fake RMB and put it on the market, which made the already chaotic market even worse.At present, in the eyes of the general public, the RMB has almost become a replica of the gold dollar coupon, and the situation can be said to be extremely critical.
Yàn Shuangying said: Director Zhang, the Military Control Commission should organize vital forces as soon as possible to completely crush the sabotage activities of the Restoration Society, and eliminate silver dollar speculation and counterfeit banknotes.
Zhang Qiao sighed and said: It’s easy to say, but it’s difficult to do!
Yàn Shuangying frowned and asked: Oh?!Why?
Zhang Qiao said: Due to the critical situation, the Military Control Commission ordered the Public Security Administration Committee and the Shanghai Working Committee to do everything possible to resolutely crush the enemy's conspiracy, restore Shanghai's financial market order as soon as possible, and safeguard the people's daily lives.After receiving the order, the Governance and Management Committee and the Working Committee quickly established an Iron Fluid Action Group, which was led by Comrade Gu Yunxiao, director of the Public Security Management Committee, and I served as the group leader, and Comrade Ma Xiaoying, deputy director of the Working Committee, was appointed as the deputy group leader.After the group was established, they took quick action, dispatched military and police to crack down on the silver dollar black market, and reconnaissed the counterfeit banknote production sites.
YànShuangying asked: Is it effective?
Zhang Qiao said with a serious expression: Since we cannot control the list of large speculators who trade in black market, we only arrested some silver dollar dealers and banned the black market silver dollar trading venues, causing silver dollar transactions to be transferred from the ground to the ground, but we cannot fundamentally stop speculative trading.
YànShuangying asked again: How can we get a list of speculators?
Zhang Qiao said: Those big speculators that manipulate black market transactions are controlled by Chen Gongpeng's confidant, the code-named "Old Fox"."Old Fox" has a list of speculators of twenty-seven people. If you don't get this list, you will not be able to defeat all the public enemies in one place.
Yàn Shuangying nodded when he heard this.
Zhang Qiao said while switching photos: What is even more troublesome is the reconnaissance of counterfeit money.
Yàn Shuangying turned his head and looked at the curtain, which surprised him.
What appeared on the curtain at this moment was the thing in the suitcase on the train!
I heard Zhang Qiao continue to say: The most important thing in manufacturing counterfeit money is two steps: one is to cast templates, and the other is to print money in different colors.At its core is the casting of the template...
Yàn Shuangying couldn't help but pointing at the curtain and interjected: Is this the template for fake money?!
Zhang Qiao nodded and said: That's right.The cunning Chen Gongpeng is worthy of being a special agent. In order to counter-reconnaissance, he divided the casting mold and printing money to form two secret underground institutions.One is an underground formwork foundry, and the other is an underground banknote printing factory.These two parts do not interact with each other. After the foundry casts the template, it handes it over to the delivery man. The delivery man handes the template to the delivery man, and the delivery man handes it to Chen Gongpeng, who is personally assigned by Chen Gongpeng to send it to the printing factory.Such a secret and complex underground program has brought great difficulty to reconnaissance work.Our undercover staff went through a lot of hardships and even paid the price of their lives, and all they got was such a program. No one really got into the core secrets, which made us very puzzled.
Yàn Shuangying took out the cigarette and took a deep breath, saying: If you want to dig out the underground casting and printing banknote printing factory and arrest the black market speculator, you must have a capable scout undercover and go to the enemy to find out the location of the casting factory and the printing banknote printing factory, and get the list of speculators from the "Old Fox", right?
Zhang Qiao nodded and said: Yes.
Yàn Shuangying said: This is why I was transferred here.
Zhang Qiao nodded again: That's right.
Yàn Shuangying lowered her head and thought for a while, and said: Can you tell me about the situation of several comrades who came to the Liberation Society before me.
Zhang Qiao said: OK.In the past six months, we have sent five scouts to invade the enemy, but because of insufficient fighting experience, the enemy has seen through it in a very short time.Either sacrifice or the inability to continue working because of the exposure of identity.So far, only one intelligence officer No. 507 is still living inside the enemy.
Yàn Shuangying was waiting for Zhang Qiao to continue talking. Seeing that he stopped and was silent, he couldn't help but ask: Is it over?!
Zhang Qiao said: It's over.
I thought the situation of undercover work would be more detailed, but I only heard Zhang Qiao's brief introduction. Yàn Shuangying couldn't help but ask: Didn't you find any valuable situation?
Zhang Qiao said solemnly: We try our best to disguise their identities. Sometimes I even think it is perfect, but I can't gain the trust of the other party. This Chen Gongpeng seems to be born with eyes behind his back.
It seems that the current undercover and reconnaissance work is at this level. Yàn Shuangying changed his tone and asked: How did you think of me?
Zhang Qiao said seriously: A few days ago, I saw an internal reference from the Southwest Bureau, which detailed the entire process of the Fourth Field Scout Yàn Shuangying disguised himself as a disguised as a double eagle, who broke the underground spy network with the Military Mediation and the Chongqing Working Committee.Then I decided to invite you to Shanghai, and with your rich experience in fighting against the enemy, we will enter the Liberation Society, find the list of silver dollar speculators, destroy the underground printing institutions, and arrest a large number of lurking spies led by Chen Gongpeng.
Yàn Shuangying nodded and said: I understand.
Zhang Qiao said anxiously: Black market silver dollar trading has dragged Shanghai's economy to the brink of collapse, and the popularity of counterfeit banknotes has made it even worse.Since it takes a long time to make a counterfeit banknote template, the current number of counterfeit banknotes is still in its infancy, but the harm is already very huge.Once a large number of templates are released, the number of counterfeit banknotes will surge, and by then the economic situation in Shanghai will be devastating.In addition, Chen Gongpeng also ordered his subordinates to sell opium and carry out a series of assassinations and sabotage operations. Therefore, Comrade Shuangying, we must act immediately!
YànShuangying lowered her head and said uh, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly raised three fingers to Zhang Qiao.
Zhang Qiao immediately understood and asked with a smile: Three conditions?!
Yàn Double Eagle nodded and said: Smart.
Zhang Qiao said seriously: Tell me and see.
Yàn Shuangying said: First, there is a single-line connection between you and me.None of your superiors and subordinates knows the relationship between us.
Zhang Qiao said: OK, I agree.What about the second one?
Yàn Shuangying said: You must have autonomy in your actions and do not need to report everything.
Zhang Qiao nodded and said: I agree.
Yàn Shuangying said: Third, I want to penetrate into the Liberation Society in my own way.
Zhang Qiao suddenly looked a little embarrassed and said: But the organization has already arranged it for you...
Yàn Shuangying waved his hand to stop Zhang Qiao from continuing to talk. He interrupted: Judging from the results of the undercover comrades in the past, your method is not suitable for me, only for Chen Gongpeng.
Zhang Qiao couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said: If you catch up with the party and rectification movement, you must be the rightist.
Yàn Shuangying said seriously: I am not a puppet, I just hope to complete the tasks assigned to me by the organization.
Zhang Qiao thought about it, then took a deep breath, and said with a wry smile: OK, I agree.Everything will do as you say.
But Zhang Qiao obviously accepted this last request a little reluctantly.
Yàn Shuangying stretched out his right hand to Zhang Qiao and said solemnly: One word is certain.
Zhang Qiao also stretched out his right hand: One word is determined.
The two shook hands in front of the slide projector, and the shadows of the shaking palms covered the photo of the fake banknote template on the curtain.
Also, this thing, Yàn Double Eagle pointed to the photo on the curtain and said calmly: I've seen it.
Zhang Qiao thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked in surprise: Are you talking about a fake banknote template?!
Yàn Double Eagle nodded and said yes.
Zhang Qiao glared and asked again: Have you really seen it?!
Yàn Shuangying said seriously: Yes.
Zhang Qiao asked in surprise: Where?!
Yàn Shuangying said: On the hijacked train.At that time, I killed a robber, and suddenly I heard someone shouting in the No. 5 box. It was a robber in charge of searching in the box. He excitedly said that he had found something and asked his companions to report the news quickly.I then killed this person and got a black suitcase he found.In the suitcase are two cast aluminum templates with Arabic numerals and Chinese capitals engraved with 1,000 yuan, as well as some patterns and portraits, but they are all reversed.
Zhang Qiao said excitedly: Not bad!That's the counterfeit banknote template!Could it be that something like this is really a coincidence?Double Eagles, did the black suitcase burnt in the flames?!
Yàn Twin Eagle still told him calmly: I hid it in the ventilation opening on the top of the hostage car.
A shining light suddenly appeared in Zhang Qiao's eyes: In other words, the suitcase is still there?!
Yàn Double Eagle nodded and said: Yes.
Walk!Zhang Qiao didn't want to delay for a moment. He couldn't wait to pull the Yàn Shuangying and walked out, and said anxiously: Let's go and take a look right away!
Alas... Yàn Shuangying quickly stopped him and reminded: Do I need to disguise myself as my current identity?
Zhang Qiao smiled awkwardly: Hi!Look at me, I forgot the most important thing, and I will ask someone to prepare it for you immediately.
********************
Then, the Yàn Double Eagle wore a black baseball cap, lowered the brim and disguised itself as an ordinary citizen.
Zhang Qiao, who was excited, drove a military jeep and returned to Shanghai North Railway Station. It was already past three o'clock in the morning. They cleverly avoided the sight of the station staff and entered the 1315 train parked in the locomotive section.
Yàn Shuangying retrieved the black suitcase from the vent on the roof of the No. 5 car. Zhang Qiao confirmed that this was the new version of the counterfeit banknote template of 1,000 yuan.
Then, the two arrived at the wreckage of the train after the explosion and conducted another survey of the No. 9 carriage.
On the aisle of this carriage, Yàn Shuangying pointed to the door of the No. 5 box and said to Zhang Qiao: This is the No. 5 box.
Zhang Qiao took the flashlight and took a careful look in the private room, but there was no new discovery.
Zhang Qiao asked: Comrade Shuangying, what kind of person is holding the black suitcase?
Yàn Shuangying shook her head and replied: I'm not sure about this.
Zhang Qiao asked strangely: Oh?!What's the meaning?!
Yàn Shuangying said: When I rushed into the box to grab the suitcase, in addition to the criminal, there was also a middle-aged man's body lying in this box. I don't know if he is the owner of the suitcase.
Zhang Qiao analyzed: If the criminal found a suitcase in this private room, then the deceased should be the owner of the suitcase.
Yàn Shuangying said: The situation was very tense at that time. The carjacking gangsters gathered passengers into five or six carriages, and then searched each of the private rooms in the No. 9 carriage one by one.
Zhang Qiao said: In other words, they knew that the counterfeit banknote template was hidden in this carriage.
It should be true that from the orderly actions of the robbers, they received information in advance.Yàn Shuangying nodded in agreement, frowned and said: But there is one thing that I think is strange.
Zhang Qiao's face changed: Oh?!What is it?
Yàn Shuangying said: You have said that it was the Liberation Society that planned this carjacking and explosion operation.
Zhang Qiao said: Yes.
Yàn Shuangying said: The Guangfu Society also manipulates the manufacturing of counterfeit money.
Zhang Qiao nodded and said: Yes.
Yàn Shuangying asked: If this is the case, shouldn’t this fake banknote template belong to the Liberation Society?Why did Chen Gongpeng send robbers to rob his own things?
After hearing this, Zhang Qiao couldn't help but frown. It seemed that this matter was much more complicated than expected. He said in a deep voice: You made a lot of sense, but I didn't expect this.Does the enemy have other conspiracies?
Yàn Shuangying raised his own guess: Will this carjacking operation be planned by another spy organization, intending to rob counterfeit banknote templates and fight against the Guangfu Society.
Zhang Qiao thought about it and replied: In the six months since Shanghai was liberated, we have solved more than 400 enemy special cases.According to our current situation, except for the Refu Society, no other enemy special organization has such destructive capabilities.
Yàn Shuangying said: Maybe, what you have is not accurate, or there are other reasons.
Maybe.
Zhang Qiao responded casually. When he saw the black suitcase in his hand, he couldn't help but feel very excited. He raised his eyebrows at Yàn's double eagle and said excitedly: But no matter what, the discovery of this counterfeit banknote template is a very important breakthrough.
Yàn Shuangying looked at Zhang Qiao with inquiring eyes: Oh?!
Zhang Qiao said: This train is from Nanjing to Shanghai, which means that the owner of the black suitcase is a train from Nanjing Railway Station.
Yàn Shuangying nodded and said: Yes, it's not bad.
Zhang Qiao said: From this, it is inferred that Chen Gongpeng’s counterfeit banknote template foundry is likely to be near Nanjing.
YànThe eyes of the eagle lit up: It makes sense.
Zhang Qiao looked very happy and praised with a smile: Double Eagle Ah, you are really a blessing.We have been searching for more than half a year but have not been able to figure out the source of the counterfeit banknote template. I didn't expect you to encounter this time.
Yàn Shuangying was a little embarrassed by praise and said: It’s a pity that the owner of the black suitcase is dead, otherwise...
Alas, don't worry.
Zhang Qiao interrupted him politely and encouraged: Step by step, the mysterious counterfeit banknote template surfaced, which is already a good start for us.Let's go down.
Yàn Shuangying smiled and said: OK.
Time passed quickly in my selfless work, and when they walked out of this No. 9 carriage, it was already light.
The two walked side by side along the railway tracks towards the station exit, each thinking silently about the specific plans and action arrangements for the next step.
Zhang Qiao suddenly spoke: You just said it well, about the Guangfu Society and Chen Gongpeng, we have very little information at present.It seems that you have to act right away.
Yàn Shuangying nodded seriously and agreed.
Zhang Qiao asked: Just now in the office, did you say you want to invade the enemy in your own way?
Yàn Shuangying said: Yes.
Zhang Qiao said: Say it, what do you want me to do?
YànShuangying asked: How many prisons are there in Shanghai?
Zhang Qiao replied: There are four buildings in the city.
YànShuangying asked again: Generally speaking, where are the gang members locked up?
Zhang Qiao thought for a while and said: Nanshi Prison.
Yàn Shuangying said: Tomorrow you will send me to Nanshi Prison, and give me another prison drawing, and don’t worry about the rest.
Zhang Qiao was very curious and couldn't help asking: But how do you carry out your work in prison?
Yàn Shuangying said: I will escape from prison in two days, and you are making a big splash in the radio and newspapers.
Zhang Qiao sounded a little mysterious, and I have to remind this Fu Jiang: Without our help, how could you escape from the Nanshi Prison?How can you survive after escaping?
Yàn Shuangying seemed indifferent, and he said calmly: These are the problems I want to solve, you just need to tell me how to contact you.
Zhang Qiao stopped and looked at the eyes of the double eagles, and said seriously and solemnly: Double eagles, this task is extremely arduous, it is not a joke.
Yàn Shuangying also stopped, looked at Zhang Qiao's eyes seriously, and said: That's why we have to do the most real trick.
Zhang Qiao thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said: OK.Two days later, at 12 noon, in front of the gate of the Kinmen Hotel on Nanjing Road.
Yàn Double Eagle uttered confidently and nodded: Remember.
