Time passed by in a flash, and it was already mid-October.

This season, the city of Beiping has begun to be filled with cold undercurrents. As long as the elderly in Beiping City know that it is time to prepare for the winter.

There are coal blackspots shaking coal balls in the streets and alleys and alleys.

There are tall coal pulp piled up in the yard of every household. If the sky is good, three or five coal pulp start to work hard.

They brought complete tools such as sieves, rakes, shovels, two-claw hooks, etc., with a piece of cloth on their heads and a short and thick tobacco pipe on the cloth around their waists, and then they could start work.

When it comes to shaking coal balls, the craftsmanship of coal blackspots is really unambiguous.

The coal balls a family needs throughout the winter can be handled in almost half a day by one person.

Just like now, Xu Dachong is calling a few Coal Heizi to work. He asked the guy to prepare a large jar of tea and put it next to him. Looking at Coal Heizi who was busy mixing the loess coal powder, he shouted: "Brothers, if you say you are tired and thirsty, drink some tea and work."

"Don't worry, boss, we will hurry up and make it for you." A coal-red man grinned. He was already sweating profusely, and black sweat flowed down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

They shoveled the pieces of coal into sieve and started to shake it. They slowly shook the squares into coal balls, and the coal balls were neatly placed in a spacious place to dry, while a group of children next to them stared at them with wide eyes.

"Okay, you guys are busy, you can keep your fill for lunch and still have meat!"

Xu Dachong said with a smile, then turned around and walked into the hotel.

"Boss, why are you polite to these coal redheads?" a guy muttered disapprovingly.

"I'm making money by abilities, why do you look down on me? Go and work for me!" Xu Dachong immediately glared at me when he heard this, and the guy shrank his neck and ran inside to work.

Seeing that the guy didn't mean to listen, Xu Dachong shook his head helplessly.

There is no way, who made Coal Heizi really miserable in this era, and her social status is very low. Not to mention the servants here, even the wild children outside sometimes sing songs to mock them when they see Coal Heizi.

"Coal Heizi, plan to wash your mother's feet, I'll see..."

But Xu Dachong would not have such a view.

He has turned over now, but he used to get up early and go to bed late and get through hard days. He was originally a small person at the bottom of society. He could only climb up with Chu Mufeng. He remembered the bitterness and thought about sweetness. How could he just laugh at those coal-skinned people like others?

"Haha, shake the coal ball!"

Chu Mufeng, who was resting, walked out of his home and was about to go to Xu Dachong's restaurant for breakfast and shouted.

"Chief Chu! You are here, please come inside."

After Xu Dachong saw Chu Mufeng coming in, he quickly called the guy to serve breakfast. Anyway, Chu Mufeng was just the old man, so it was all right to know.

"Is this a coal briquette for winter?" Chu Mufeng asked while drinking soy sauce.

"yes!"

Xu Dachong sat on the stool opposite with a smile, pointed to the coal balls outside the door and said, "It's cold. All the coal balls you need to use for winter in the hotel must be prepared, and I have all the ones on your side. I will be ready after drying them at that time. Then I will be moved there for you."

"Well, Lao Xu, thank you!" Chu Mufeng nodded.

"Hi, Chief Chu, this is what I should do. You are so polite, but I will ruin it!" Xu Dachong quickly stood up and said.

Of course, Chu Mufeng doesn't have to worry about this little thing. If he didn't even think about this little thing, how could he open a hotel in front of Chu Mufeng's house?

"Old Xu, is there any news recently?" Chu Mufeng asked casually.

"I remember it all, you can wait."

After saying that, Xu Dachong turned around and walked into the backyard. He quickly came out with a kraft paper, handed it to Chu Mufeng and whispered: "Chief Chu, this is the news collected over the past period of time, please take a look."

"Um!"

Chu Mufeng took it and read it slowly. The news records inside were very detailed, and he clearly recorded what time and who said it, but overall, there seemed to be nothing worth paying attention to.

"Okay, it's done well, keep going!"

After explaining, Chu Mufeng left with his cowhide book after finishing his meal.

"Quake!"

When Chu Mufeng walked to the street, a crow cries suddenly came from his ears. He looked up and found that there were several crows on the elm tree not far away, calling.

The crows were still yelling here, and there was also a squeaking sound from the ridge of the room opposite. It turned out that several magpies were calling, and their raised tails looked very beautiful.

"Hi, the unlucky crows and the magpies who reported the good news are all together!" Chu Mufeng grinned.

To be honest, he disagreed with this kind of folk rumors. He was simply fooling the uneducated people and was not feudal superstitious.

When he got into the tram and looked into the sky not far away through the window, his mood suddenly became clear, because there were a flock of doves circling there, with white feathers set against the blue sky, which looked very beautiful.

Today is the weekend.

The place he is going to now is the secret stronghold he had discussed with Kato Ono. At 9 am on the third week of every even month, it is the agreed time for meeting. Whenever he has time, he will come over and take a look.

I wonder if this guy has come back?

With this idea, Chu Mufeng came to the secret stronghold.

This is an old house located deep in a hutong near Tianqiao. It was bought secretly by Chu Mufeng for this matter. It is very convenient to come here and has a wide range of outlets.

Chu Mufeng's antidote to Kato Ono had a time limit, so if he didn't want to live or die, he would definitely come over as long as he had the chance.

Even if you don’t have the chance, you have to create opportunities to come. At least you have to leave useful information in exchange for Chu Mufeng’s subsequent antidote.

When Chu Mufeng came to the entrance of the alley at the time and saw a windmill pattern on the wall, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The windmill is the code agreed upon at the beginning. As long as the windmill appears, it means that Kato Ono has arrived and is waiting in the room.

Of course, considering his safety issues, if Chu Mufeng did not appear within half an hour, Kato Ono would immediately leave here and wipe the windmill off.

The paper windmill is there, and Kato Ono is there.

Chu Mufeng was excited and walked forward. As he walked, he slowed down and subconsciously noticed around him.

Logically speaking, Kato Ono should not be able to play tricks. After all, only he can save his life, and his life gate is pinched by him. If he doesn't want to be ruined, he can only be obedient.

However, the cautious habit that has been developed over the years has been asked Chu Mufeng to carefully examine the surrounding environment to prevent any accidents.

But everything is as usual and there are no variables.

Squeak.

When Chu Mufeng pushed the door and went in, Kato Ono saw through the window that it was Chu Mufeng, and he quickly came out of the room, looking a little impatient.

"Chief Chu, you are here!"

"Shh!"

Chu Mufeng put his fingers on his lips to signal, turned around and closed the yard gate, then took Kato Ono back to the house. After coming in, Chu Mufeng turned his gaze to the other party.

"Kato Ono, I thought you were gone forever."

"No, Chief Chu, I still want to live well." Kato Ono was still a little nervous and scared after seeing Chu Mufeng again after so long.

After all, Chu Mufeng left a deep impression on him in the Red Maple Cave and was indelible and dared not forget him even if he wanted to.

So after hearing Chu Mufeng's question, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Chief Chu, I am back to the special high school department in the Northeast this time to report my work. After all, the snake group was destroyed by you in my hands, and everyone else was dead. Only I escaped alive. It would be impossible not to explain clearly."

"Fortunately, thanks to your careful arrangements and the Scorpion Group's Yohei Suzuki who helped me testify, I can handle the internal investigation of the Special High School. Otherwise, I would probably not be able to come back."

Think about it, the same is true.

If Chu Mufeng met, he would definitely have strict screening. After all, anyone who escaped from the enemy is worth wondering whether he was attracted and turned against him.

Fortunately, the chess piece of Scorpion Group Suzuki Yohei was left behind. Now it seems that it will play a role at the critical moment and help Kato Ono prove his innocence.

"In other words, you are no longer suspicious and are completely safe?" Chu Mufeng raised his hand, rubbed his chin and asked casually.

"right!"

Kato Ono nodded seriously and said with a serious look: "Yes, Chief Chu, I have passed the internal interrogation of the Special High School Class and prove that I can continue to trust, so I was sent back to Peking City to start a new mission."

"What mission?" Chu Mufeng's face darkened and his tone was in a rage.

"Responsible for rescuing the Scorpion Team leader Yayoi Kazumi!" Kato Ono said slowly.

Willow Cangquan!

Chu Mufeng couldn't help but sneer: "Oh, I didn't expect that your special high school class would be terrible. Now I still want to rescue Yau Sheng Cangquan. But as you said, even if you go back, you will be severely interrogated. Could it be that he, Yau Sheng Cangquan, wouldn't it?"

"He is still being held in our custody. Aren't you afraid that the one who is rescued is someone who has been instigated by us?"

"impossible!"

Speaking of this, Kato Ono's face changed slightly, and he said with a hint of resentment: "I will accept strict investigation, and Yagyu Kazumi will naturally be inevitable."

"But I dare say that Yayoi Kazuno will definitely not surrender. As long as he is still alive and is rescued, he will be truly safe, and will not be as trembling as I am, for fear of any problems."

"Oh, why is this?" These words made Chu Mufeng a little curious.

Could it be that there is any secret that has not been found on this Yakuen Cangquan? If that is the case, I have to have a good chat with this guy when I go back.

"Because Yagyu Kazumi is a member of the Yagyu family, even if it is just a sideline, his surname is Yagyu. As long as his surname is Yagyu, no one in the island country will dare to decide their life and death at will." An unconcealed jealousy appeared in Kato Ono's eyes.

It turns out that he was from a big family.

"Tell me about the Yasho family in detail." Chu Mufeng asked.

"The concept of family families in island countries is deeply rooted, and anyone from a large family has the pride of despising civilians. And Yagyu is a well-known family. The people of this family have many key departments of real power in the island countries, and naturally there are many members of the Yagyu family in the military."

"Yao Sheng Cangquan is a child of the Yao Sheng family. Because he is a side-school, he volunteered to come to Peking City to perform the Scorpion Group mission, in order to prove himself and get more recognition and cultivation when he returns to the family."

"Under such a situation, even if Yasuo Cangquan compromises with you, the Special High School will still be rescued. Moreover, based on the information we have obtained, Yasuo Cangquan has never bowed his head and surrendered. Until now, you are still detained and interrogated. This makes the Special High School even more determined. As long as he is not dead, he must rescue him."

Speaking of this, Kato Ono still felt a little cowardly and ashamed when he thought of himself refusing to surrender. Compared with Yagyu Kazumi, he really didn't deserve to carry shoes for others.

"Who is the one who came to rescue Yagyu Kazumi this time? You and Suzuki Yanghei will not be the only one?" Chu Mufeng remembered this and asked after he followed.

"Yes, it's not just us. To be precise, we are just the deputy team leaders of the rescue team. The real team leader is the major sent by the Special High School, named Yamamoto Soba." Kato Ono replied directly.

Chu Mufeng narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "Who is this Yamamoto Forty-eba?"

"Chief Chu, I have sorted out the relevant information. Please check it out."

While speaking, Kato Ono respectfully handed over a stack of information. Chu Mufeng took it and glanced at it, and nodded with satisfaction.

There are photos of Yamamoto Soba, as well as some of his basic situations and work situations on the archives, which shows that Kato Ono is doing things with sincerity and not fooling himself into errands, which makes Chu Mufeng very satisfied.

"How many people have arrived in the rescue team?" Chu Mufeng asked after closing the files.

"In addition to the three of us, there are a total of sixteen people!" Kato Ono said truthfully.

“How is the weapon equipped?”

"All weapons were obtained from the garrison outside the city. At present, they were mainly light weapons. Each person was equipped with two wreck guns, fifty bullets and ten grenades."

"Where did you get the information from your actions here?"

"Chief Chu, given that the Snake Group and Scorpion Group have been wiped out, the Special High School ordered the Spider Group to cooperate with us to complete this task this time." Kato Ono said a new group name.

Spider group!

When this name was said, Chu Mufeng's eyelids moved slightly.

The Special High School has a five-poison group in Peking City. Currently, the snake group and the scorpion group have been destroyed, and there are three spy groups left.

He always wanted to know the details of the other three groups, but there was no clue. Unexpectedly, he had to come here without any effort. Kato Ono went back and brought out a spider group.

"Kato, what's going on with this spider group?" Chu Mufeng's interest suddenly rose.

Kato Ono then took out the second document and handed it over, saying hesitantly: "Chief Chu, my authority is limited, so I am not very clear about the situation of the Spider Group. I had never been in contact with it before when I was in Peking City. I only knew about these when I returned to the Special High School Division this time and accepted this task. This Spider Group is responsible for the task of insurrecting and sabotaging."

"Rebel and destroy?" Chu Mufeng raised his eyebrows and repeated...

"Yes, it's just instigation and destruction."

Kato Ono nodded and said, "Instigation is to instigate the high-ranking officials and powerful people in the city of Peking. Their targets are either high-ranking officials who hold important positions or businessmen with a lot of money in their hands."

"Although I didn't get the list of them who successfully instigated the rebellion, I found out a name for a person who was a big shot who they had just instigated the rebellion recently and was still in the confidentiality stage. I can tell that it was also by chance that I heard it outside the section chief's office."

"What's the name?" Chu Mufeng's heart suddenly started to beat rapidly, his eyes shining.

"It should be called Li Zhengxian!"

"Li Zhengxian?"

This was the first time Chu Mufeng heard this name, and he was obviously confused.

"Do you know Li Zhengxian's information?"

"have no idea!"

Kato Ono shook his head and said helplessly: "It's a coincidence that I can hear this name. I don't know his specific situation at all, and I dare not ask more questions at all."

"Okay, I'll investigate this person, you can continue talking!" After taking notes to write down this name, Chu Mufeng continued to ask.

"In addition to instigating the counter-revolution, the Spider Group will also carry out various sabotage activities. This sabotage refers to destroying all activities organized by anti-Japanese people, such as a Maozhai fundraising event that just ended. This is what the Spider Group wants to destroy."

"Also, I just learned a news that this news was said by Suzuki Yangping. He said that the Spider Group and the Scorpion Group had cooperated. You also know that the Scorpion Group is a full-time assassination, so if the Spider Group says that there are people who can't handle it, they will leave it to the Scorpion Group to deal with it."

Kato Ono's words immediately made Chu Mufeng concentrate.

"What you mean is that by asking Yagyu Kazuki, you can know the information about the Spider Group?"

"It should be like this. If anyone in the Scorpion Group knows about the Spider Group, it must be Yagyu Kazumi. Even if Suzuki Yanghei doesn't know the specific task, he just knows that the two groups have cooperated."

"Because the spider group generally does not kill people, after all, if they kill people, it will increase the risk of exposure, so professional things are left to professionals."

Kato Ono continued to add that he was Shinichi who was dedicated to serving Chu Mufeng and told all of this information.

Is there no need for murderous destruction?

Chu Mufeng pondered secretly, it was normal to do so.

Who says that only killing people can cause destruction? There are many forms of destruction, as long as the purpose of deterrence warning can be achieved?

If you really want to choose to kill someone, if you don’t have enough planning, it will definitely attract the attention of the police.

Besides, even if the Scorpion group is responsible for assassination, do you try your best to take action by causing accidents?

After all, as a spy, if you cannot protect your identity and cover up your whereabouts well, it will be a failure.

Once exposed, it means being arrested, and there is only one consequence of arrest: death!

"How do you plan to rescue Liu Sheng Cangquan?" Chu Mufeng asked about the situation of some spider teams again and then changed his mind.

"have no idea!"

Kato Ono shook his head and said helplessly: "Chief Chu, although I am the deputy leader of the rescue team, when I came here, the special high school class had strict orders. Suzuki Yanghei and I had no right to make decisions. All the actions to rescue Yamamoto Kazumi must obey Yamamoto's orders. His words are the highest order."

"Then the connection between us needs to change, we cannot just fix it here, as it is inconvenient to connect."

After pondering for a moment, Chu Mufeng raised his head and said decisively: "In this way, if the situation is urgent, you can call me on your own initiative. If it is not urgent, you will send the information here."

"From now on, you will send information here once a week to report to me the latest developments of the rescue team. I need to know their every move."

"Okay!" Kato Ono nodded.

"And the most important thing, where are you living now?"

Chu Mufeng thought to himself, as long as I know your residence, I can arrange for Wang Gezhi to follow him.

"Today is the second day we came to Peking City, but for now, we have changed three places and are now living in Chunlai Hotel in the city. As for where we will stay at night, I don't know."

"You don't know that Yamamoto Soba is a suspicious and cunning person by nature. He will never stay in one place for more. If you want to arrange for someone to monitor, I advise you not to do that."

"Because as long as he shows a little bit of his strength, he may have to change his plan. And the rescue team is not all together. Yamamoto Sohara also said that sometimes he will give orders to Suzuki Yohei and me through the team members."

Kato Ono did not mean exaggerating, but to tell the truth. As for whether Chu Mufeng would send someone to follow him after he said it, that was his business and he could not interfere with it.

"Well, I know everything you said. In the future, according to what we just said, after you return to the rescue team, there will be two tasks. First, inform me of Yamamoto's rescue plan at any time, and second, find a way to find out the situation of the Spider Group, or the other two groups are OK." Chu Mufeng picked up the file bag and said in a stern voice.

"I understand!" Kato Ono's feet were closed together and lowered his head respectfully.

The two soon went their separate ways from their secret strongholds.

Walking on the street, Chu Mufeng casually called a rickshaw to get in, and said calmly: "Guard Hall!"

"Okay!"

Sitting in the car, Chu Mufeng closed his eyes slightly, his brain turned at high speed, and recalled the interrogation results he received after he caught Liu Sheng Cangquan.

Yayoi Cangquan said that he only knew that the Toad Group was collecting military intelligence.

Now another spider group emerges.

To put it this way, I have known four of the so-called Five Poisons Groups so far, namely the snake group, the scorpion group, the toad group and the spider group, and there is still one left without information.

But there is no need to worry about this. Five of them caught four, and they would not be able to escape unless he retreated immediately.

Another thing is that Chu Mufeng clearly remembers that Yasuo Cangquan said at that time that the information of the Scorpion group was obtained from the Snake group, but now Kato Ono said that the Scorpion group was working with the Spider group, and it was obvious that Yasuo Cangquan lied.

Why did he lie?

Obviously, the purpose is to help the spider group cover up. Anyway, the snake group has been exposed, so it doesn't matter if it pushes everything on the snake group. At least it can keep the spider group lurking.

"Yao Sheng Cangquan, you are really cunning, but you probably wouldn't have thought that I would know these situations. It seems that you can get news from the spider group by prying open your mouth."
Chapter completed!
