The Pretender's Taoyaoyi Building

Six pm.

Minglou seemed to be in a good mood and stepped out of the city government building. Ah Cheng had already prepared his car and waited. When he saw him coming out, he opened the door; Minglou got into the car directly, and the car started and drove out.

driving.

"Go to Dou Le'an Road Cafe?" Ah Cheng asked him, they had an appointment with Uncle Li today.

Minglou's happy expression just now has long since vanished, "Go home directly." There is still a bigger battle waiting for him at home.

"We have an appointment with Uncle Li." Ah Cheng reiterated, thinking he forgot.

Ming Lou was a little tired, "It's not the right time to see him now, besides, if I don't go back today, can Elder Sister spare me?"

Ah Cheng looked through the rearview mirror, "Why don't I go." He should get in touch with the Shanghai underground party organization as soon as possible.

"You don't want to go either." Minglou disapproved, "An accident happened to the Izumo just now, and the Japanese must have retaliated wildly; they should have received an order asking them to be silent for a while, and they must wait for this time to pass."

"The Japanese really can't copy a fake Izumo?" Ah Cheng was still afraid that his success would fall short.

"It will take a long time." Minglou lowered his eyes slightly. "She has considered this, so she has included it. The shipping in Shanghai has been greatly affected. Even if the special high school wants to hide it, it may not be able to hide it."

A Cheng curled his mouth.

"The morning star is actually Venus. Although the observation is dazzling, it does not always represent auspiciousness. It sometimes hangs high in the east and sometimes shines in the west. It is unpredictable, and fear is born because of this." Minglou said There is a sense of pride: "In the dark, watch the sun firmly in your heart; in the long night, silently give birth to the dawn of dawn; in the tiger's lair, bear the humiliation and bear the burden, wait and see; in the fight, rise quietly, kill the enemy invisible; nameless People know, meritorious deeds are not known."

Ah Cheng listened to him say "Wang Manchun, how are you?" in a mellow voice, was he soothed?

"They're leaving tomorrow." But he couldn't even see her off.

"Brother, ask your superiors for instructions. Little Taozi keeps saying 'how can you know if you haven't tried it'?" Ah Cheng knew that this was a reckless act, but he still said, "Big sister knows today, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to let you pass the test."

Minglou stopped talking.

... While speaking, the car drove into an elegant mansion.

Park, get out.

Minglou walked into the home he hadn't returned to for a long time, opened the door to the hall, walked in, and looked around: everything in the place he missed was as before, and silence filled every corner.

"Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Master, you are back!" Someone broke the silence.

Minglou knew it was the maid of the family, Axiang, "Axiang, I haven't grown taller in a few years." She grew up in the family, and her parents were also old servants of the Ming family, so it can be said that they were born in the Ming family. .

Ah Xiang dutifully took the purse from Ming Lou's hand.

Ah Cheng is also quite familiar with her, "Hurry up and make a cup of tea for the young master!"

"No need." Ming Lou turned around and sat down feeling a little tired, "I just want to sit down and rest for a while now." Taking off the leather gloves on his hands, he felt tired thinking about what he was about to face next.

Ah Xiang held the leather bag in both hands, and her voice was not as joyful as before, "Eldest young master, don't rest, you don't have time to drink tea; the eldest lady said, you have to go to the small ancestral hall as soon as you come back."

Although it was expected, Ah Cheng still looked at Minglou worriedly.

Ming Lou took off the gloves and understood, "Yes, I see."

Ah Cheng signaled to Ah Xiang, "Let's rest."

Ah Xiang was familiar with the rules of the Ming family, so she withdrew naturally.

"Brother." Ah Cheng knew in his heart that this test would be impossible to pass no matter what.

Minglou put the gloves on the coffee table, "It's okay, it's inevitable." It's something he knew a long time ago.

Ash just nodded.

Both brothers couldn't help but look up somewhere on the second floor.

Minglou got up, unbuttoned his coat, and walked up in three strides.He took off his coat, put it on his arm, walked to the end of the corridor, and knocked on the door.

"Come in." The voice of the eldest sister of the Ming family came from the room.

Minglou opened the door and entered, and when he entered, he saw incense burning in the incense burner in front of his parents' tablet. He closed the door and respectfully said, "Sister, I'm back." The eldest sister stood in front of the shrine with her back turned to herself.

"Kneel down." Ming Jing calmly ordered.

Minglou didn't dare to disobey, walked to the round mat, knelt down on the ground, put the coat beside him, and straightened his upper body.

Ming Jing didn't move, "Why don't I go find you today, do you plan to live in a hotel for the rest of your life?"

"Eldest sister, you misunderstood." Minglou defended.

"Misunderstanding?" Ming Jing's voice became severe, "Today, tell me honestly in front of your parents, what's going on?" Turning around.

"Eldest sister, what's going on?" Minglou seemed to not know which one she was referring to.

Ding Jing was angry, "You still don't plan to tell me the truth? My Ming family rules do not allow children to indulge outside, so I have always believed that you dare not mess around, but today, today, a Japanese woman said in public that you were with another Japanese woman. A baby was born!"

"Taoyao is not a Japanese woman!" Minglou knew that such an explanation was useless. "She grew up in Paris, and was adopted by a Chinese couple. She was also educated in China and French, and she always thought of herself as Chinese! Ah Cheng also knows all of this."

Ming Jing took a deep breath, and still remembered the boy who was about the same age as Ming Tai when he first came home crying so miserably, "What about that child? You didn't know anything about it beforehand?"

"Yes, I don't know." This is the truth. "After the breakup, she returned to China!"

"You guys have...didn't think about going to her?" Ming Jing felt that Minglou was so ungrateful and ungrateful in this matter. "You said that she was educated in Chinese ideas since she was a child, so she will be with you if she is not married...you Don't you want to be responsible?"

Ming Lou lowered his head: It's not that he doesn't want to be responsible, but that he can't!

Ming Jing interpreted his silence as another thought, "Is it because of that Wang Manchun? Tell me honestly in front of your parents today, do you still think about that Wang Manchun?"

Minglou raised his head, and said seriously, "You are a beautiful woman, but you can't be a thief."

Ming Jing praised his answer and sat down, "Okay, you can still distinguish between loyalty and traitors, good and evil; then after you returned to Shanghai, you plunged into the door of the traitors and running dogs of the new government. Aren't you a traitor? This is not traitorous." Do you want to be honored?"

"Elder Sister." Minglou seemed to say bluntly, "Minglou was brought up by his elder sister since he was a child, and he only knew how to serve the country faithfully. How dare he become a traitor? If Minglou has the slightest desire to betray the country and seek glory, he is willing to listen to his elder sister."

"Okay." What an eloquent mouth, Ming Jing heard that he still refused to admit his wrongdoing, and became even more angry, "Then I would like to ask Mr. Minglou, the new Chief Economic Advisor to the Financial Secretary, what is your opinion of you?" Do you have any explanation for the official title?"

"It's more than that." Ming Lou didn't hide it, "There is also the new Deputy Director of the Current Situation Promotion Committee and Special Affairs Committee."

Ding Spiegel still suppressed the last bit of patience for his blatantness, "Don't tell me that you are trying to save the country with curves, just keep talking."

"What?" Minglou asked back as if he didn't understand.

Ming Spiegel asked, "Aren't you going to explain?"

"Explain what? How can I explain it? You have already blocked all my words." Minglou said helplessly, "I really have nothing to say except curves to save the country."

Seeing his stubbornness and unwillingness to admit his mistakes, Ming Jing nodded repeatedly, as if he had used up his last bit of patience, got up, turned around, and picked up the whip in front of his parents' coffin.

Minglou raised his eyes, he was still apprehensive about the whip, and couldn't help but "Eldest sister..."

Ming Jing held the whip in his hand, spoke softly and calmly, "Then you don't have anything to say?"

Does he know how powerful this whip is? "Big (big) sister, Ming Lou is in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han."

"What a man who is in Cao Ying and whose heart is in Han!" Ming Jing was completely annoyed.

Minglou knelt down, wanting to hide but dare not hide.

Ming Jing sternly said, "In front of me, you say that you are in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han. In front of Zhou Fohai, you say that you are loyal to the new dynasty and working hard for state affairs. In front of that Japanese woman, should you say that you only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals? !"

Minglou looked at the fiery elder sister, and weakly argued, "Taoyao is already married!"

But Ming Jing didn't listen at all, and continued to say, "If you fall into the hands of the military commander, will it be said that you are from the United Front of the Anti-Japanese War?"

The older sister hit the spot and said "It's really sister Mo Ruo..."

Listening to his nonsense, Ming Jing raised his hand and whipped him hard.

Minglou's left arm and part of his left shoulder were severely beaten, and the burning pain rushed to the top of his head instantly, and the whole arm seemed to be useless, so he couldn't help but stroke it.

Ming Jing also trembled, but he couldn't help but harden his heart for his younger brother, "Master Ming, are you more awake?"

"Elder Sister, I have something to say." Ming Lou was whipped and had to be gentle with Ming Jing.

"Just wake up!" Ming Jing said angrily, "Don't give a grandiose speech here, I won't accept that!"

Ming Lou suppressed the pain.

"It's fine for you to be arrogant and domineering outside, and talk to me in a decent manner when you get home!" Ming Jing's anger was still there, "Did you hear that!"

Minglou couldn't show a single bit of pain in his heart, so he nodded, "Yes."

Ming Jing took a breath, "Say, who are you!?"

Minglou replied "I am Chinese." Every word was resounding.

Ming Spiegel was dissatisfied with "I ask you who you are!" and repeated the question.

"I'm your family." Minglou was tight-lipped.

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other, and neither of them avoided it.

Ming Jing put down his whip and sat down again, "Okay, let me ask you, what are you doing back to Shanghai this time?!"

Ming Lou once again meant to "do what Chinese people should do!"

"How to prove it?" Ming Spiegel hoped that he could speak more clearly.

"Time will tell everything?!" Ming Lou could only answer like this.

Ding Jing pressed on, "How long?"

"It may be a long time!"

"How long is a long time?"

"About three to five years, maybe seven or eight years." He knew when Japan would surrender, but he couldn't say that.

"Such a long time has given you enough opportunities to change course." Ding Jing is also a smart person.

"Then what does my sister mean?"

"I do have a way to argue against loyalty and treachery."

Brother and sister, you talk to each other, Minglou feels that what the eldest sister is waiting for is this sentence, and everything before her is for the current sentence, "Sister, please speak."

Der Spiegel did not hide anything, "I plan to fly to Hong Kong in the future. Firstly, I have two sums of money to be transferred to a bank in Hong Kong. Secondly, Mingtai is studying there alone. It is hard work and no one takes care of me. I want to see Look at him, this is the third... I want to take out the second box of goods."

Minglou understood.

"The problem is that these two boxes of goods are now under pressure at Wusongkou, and I need two special passes for goods exempted from inspection from Wusongkou." Mingjing boldly proposed...

Minglou knelt down and signed.

Ming Jing got up to get it.

Ming Lou took it away slightly, "Sister, Wusongkou will be very strict recently, so you have to be extra careful when picking up the goods."

Ming Jing didn't take back his hand, "Then what does Chief Ming mean?"

"Sister, you should let me know the whereabouts of this batch of goods. Are you going to Chongqing or Yan'an?" Minglou probed.

Ding Jing smiled and said, "Ship to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War!"

Minglou knew Mingjing's identity well, handed the pass to her, and was about to get up.

"Who asked you to get up?!" Ming Jing took the pass, but did not seem to end the questioning.

Minglou's body that had just gotten up fell down again, "Eldest sister, haven't you finished all the questions!"

"Have I finished asking? What about the child?!" Ming Jing put away her pass and turned around, "I don't plan to talk about the child unless I ask you?" How much gossip she endured as an unmarried woman in order to raise Mingtai, and even now Unmarried, naturally understands the difficulty of having a child out of wedlock. "I ask you, is that child yours?"

"Yes." Minglou admitted in a deep voice.

Ming Jing was shocked, "You really don't know?" Didn't know that woman had a child?

It wasn't long before he knew, "Yes."

Ming Jing couldn't help but sternly said, "Now that I know it's your child, why don't you take it back? How can the flesh and blood of our Ming family be left outside, you go! Take the child back to me!"

"Eldest sister, I can't!" Ming Lou knelt down, "You can see that she is in a very good environment now, and even the Japanese majors are respectful to her. Tao Yao is always stubborn, and no one can change what she believes; and she has Married to someone else, and the child has someone else's surname..."

"You also said that she is not Japanese!" Ming Jing was very annoyed at his defense, "Why did the Ming family have a descendant like you! You said just now that you didn't have the slightest intention of betraying the country and seeking glory, and you actually gave birth to a child with a Japanese woman? Do you have any sense of shame?"

"Eldest sister, Taoyao doesn't know her background, and the current environment is also forced by her helplessness. She bled heavily when she gave birth to Mingrui, and she is still in poor health." Minglou retorted, "How can I take the child away from her? Eldest sister When I see Mingrui, I will think of Mingtai. Mingtai lost his mother since he was a child. Although you and I love him, neither of us can replace his mother; Well, Ming Ruisheng was raised in China and did not receive any Japanese education, so it is natural to send him to study abroad with Shen Xilin's financial resources!"

"Shen Xilin, the boss of Donghua Foreign Firm!?" Ming Jing was very familiar with this name, "She married Shen Xilin?!"

Minglou was silent for a long time, then nodded, "Yes."

"Go and bring the child back to me!" Ming Jing couldn't control his voice anymore, "I can accept that the child has half Japanese blood, but I absolutely cannot accept that the Ming family's child grew up in a traitor's house! Who is that Shen Xilin? Do not you know?"

"You should know it if you know it. This matter is difficult!" Minglou raised his head, "Although I am the deputy director of the Secret Service Committee, the other party is also the director of the Qingmu Mansion. No matter in terms of financial resources or connections, the other party is on par with me; and Tao Yao's The biological father is Takeda Hiroichi of the Tianjin Mei Agency, but he is afraid of even the Shanghai Special High School, eldest sister..."

"My God!" Ming Jing pointed at him angrily, "You are with a Japanese officer's daughter... Hello, what is so amazing about that woman, you are so fascinated that you ignore the rules of the Ming family, you think you can do it when you are in France. Follow the house rules?"

"Sister, it's not like this, we didn't know that things would be where they are now..."

Ming Jing suddenly changed his mind, "No, you are not that kind of person." She still knows her brother, and it is not ordinary beauty that can seduce him.

Minglou didn't know whether he should be happy for what Eldest Sister said, or worry, "Eldest Sister, in fact, something happened between the two of them in a momentary atmosphere beyond the limits of estrus and courtesy."

"Compared with Wang Manchun, do you like this Japanese woman more?!" Ming Jing narrowed his eyes.

Ming Lou thought of many excuses for a while, but finally raised his eyes and looked straight at Ming Jing, "Her name is Fu Taoyao, she is not a Japanese woman, she is also Chinese!"

Ming Jing looked at his younger brother's serious expression, and frowned, "Her biological father is not some plum organ..."

"Sister, Taoyao is a real Chinese!" Minglou repeated solemnly.

-

Minglou returned to his room and threw down his clothes.

Ah Cheng followed in and saw that his undressing movements were stiff, "What's the matter?" He took off his suit for him, "Did sister really hit you? Little Taozi will be very distressed when she finds out."

"If it's a real beating, it won't be just this whip." With Ah Cheng's help, Minglou took off his coat smoothly, "Eldest sister wants to test me, is she really a traitor!"

Ah Cheng immediately asked him, "Then what did you say?"

Minglou folded his arms and sat on the sofa outside, "I gave her a hint, but I don't know how much she can understand."

Ah Cheng sat down with him.

"If you don't understand, you don't understand." There is no way, "The less you know, the safer it is for her."

A Cheng completely agrees with this.

"But I do understand her identity." There was no secret between Ming Lou and Ah Cheng.

Ah Cheng lowered his voice, "Our people?"

"Based on my judgment, she should be just a red capitalist at the moment." This is exactly what Ming Lou is worried about. "She doesn't have any important status within the party organization."

"It's too dangerous, your dear sister." Ah Cheng was afraid after thinking about it, "How many eyes are staring at her, even if it's just a red capitalist, it's fatal."

"What else can we do now?" Ming Lou was also worried about her sister's safety.

A Cheng couldn't think of a way for a while.

Minglou intentionally said, "Why don't you persuade her to stop?"

As soon as Ah Cheng heard it, she became timid, "Don't, don't, you're already like this, I'm going to persuade her again, that is, sacrifice!" He emphasized the last two words, "I want to work for a few more years!"

Minglou's arm hurts, "The situation in Shanghai is so complicated now, and the eldest sister is too inexperienced in fighting the enemy. Since you can't stop it, then from now on, you send someone to watch her..."

"Instead of sending someone to stare at her, I think someone can stop her." Ah Cheng turned his eyes, as if thinking of something.

Ming Lou heard who he was referring to, "Ming Rui?!"

"Yes!" Ah Cheng nodded solemnly, "Eldest sister has little experience in fighting against the enemy, but Taoyao is a good player! As long as you take back their mother and child, then elder sister must definitely consider Mingrui's safety, and we will persuade her to accept it." Hands might be twice the result with half the effort; and the eldest sister doesn't have to work so hard to smuggle one or two boxes of western medicine. Taoyao is all familiar with these secret transactions. How many scarce materials she has transported for Yan'an and other base areas It is said that she has been very proficient in operating the line of Donghua foreign company. Without her in Tianjin, Shen Xilin can already stand firm; elder brother, the Ming family's business is not inferior to that of Donghua foreign company. It's very hard work, if Taoyao enters the Ming Family Group as the eldest mistress of the Ming family and controls all the business, then is it necessary for the elder sister to do peripheral work so dangerously?"

Minglou listened.

"And if you become Takeda Hongichi's son-in-law, the Japanese and No. 76 will naturally have less doubts about you. If you can still get the support of Shanghai Mei's agency." Mingcheng's mind is very clear, "Then even Yoko Nantian will Don't give up on you three points."

"You should send someone to keep an eye on her, the most important thing is to protect her." Minglou didn't answer.

Ah Cheng could see that he rejected his proposal, "If Eldest Sister finds out that we sent someone to monitor her, she will definitely not let you go."

"Even if she receives another hundred lashes, her safety must be guaranteed!" Minglou attaches great importance to the safety of her family.

"If you receive a hundred lashes, the eldest sister will not be safe." Ah Cheng said quietly, "I still remember the Japanese spies in Paris wounding you, and the result was a terrible death! At that time, there was no clarification, and there was no such thing as Mingrui. , if Mingrui's mother knows that Eldest Sister is whipping you, I can't imagine what Eldest Sister will do!"

Minglou gritted his teeth, "Then you still dare to dance Argentine tango with her." He will always remember this "sentimental, I think Yoko Nantian probably believes that you are just afraid to compete with me because of your status."

"Brother, many base areas in the south still worry about lack of guns." A Cheng took the opportunity to encourage him, "Tao Zi is the Goddess of Wealth, she can do everything you can't do; just ask your superiors once, so that you and your father can recognize each other. And Taoyao can also get married in a legitimate way, and she can take care of the Ming family's property so that the eldest sister will not do such dangerous things. With her experience and ability in fighting the enemy, many difficulties in the southern base area can be easily solved; the most important thing is , This is also to ensure her safety. Although Donghua Yangxing has done a lot of cover-ups and work, it is still a bit eye-catching; but when Taoyao arrives at Ming's house, her goal will be small in a short time. Big brother , if there is an emergency, are you planning to let the second child also have an unidentified surname Shen?"

Minglou raised his eyes.

Mingcheng shrugged, "I just said 'in case'."

"There's no such case!" He said sharply: they only lasted one night.

"It's Xiaobiesheng newlyweds." Mingcheng glanced at him and then retracted his eyes. "This, neither you nor Taozi can decide, it's up to heaven!"

Ming Lou scratched his eyebrows: No way!again? !
