Siheyuan: Enemy spies are captured every time

"This...Brother Xiao, Director, I have heard a little about Lao Chaofeng. I wonder if it can be of any help to you?" Xiao Ye thought for a moment and spoke.

"you say!"

"It is said that this old Chaofeng is quite old. The predecessor of this old Chaofeng was the Sticking Rod Office." Xiao Ye sighed.

"Nianganchu?" Hua Chengyu knew from later literary works or film and television that this was a secret service organization in the previous dynasty, which originated in the Yongzheng period: "Wasn't this Niangganchu abolished during the Jiaqing period?"

"How could it be abolished?" Xiao Ye chuckled. "Which emperor would abolish his own martial arts? After Jiaqing came to power, in order to better monitor the court, the Sticking Rod Office was transformed from the Four Nine Cities into the Monitoring of the World, with more than tens of thousands of members. For example, various weaving bureaus were originally the personnel organizations of the Sticking Rod Office."

"What's the relationship with Lao Chaofeng?" Director Xiao asked.

"Of course it's related! The old Chaofeng is the one who sticks to the pole." Xiao Ye said.

"The old Chaofeng is the stick stick department?" Hua Chengyu and Director Xiao looked at each other. They had never expected it. And Hua Chengyu was influenced by a novel in later generations.

The Lao Chaofeng in the book is nothing more than an organization that sells and forges counterfeit goods, but surprisingly, it is also a spy organization.

"Brother Xiao, Director, after the fall of the previous dynasty, the Sticking Rod Office naturally ceased to exist. However, the previous dynasty was still determined to restore the old dynasty. The pigtail army restored the old dynasty, and later, under the rule of the foot basin, the old dynasty restored the old dynasty again. All of this was supported by the manpower, material resources, and financial resources provided by the old court official..., back then..."

Xiao Ye took a sip of tea and said, "I heard all this from my grandfather. You know, my grandfather once assisted the second shopkeeper in intelligence work for a period of time. I heard this by accident. If I hadn't heard you mention Lao Chaofeng, I would have almost forgotten about this organization."

"What kind of organization is Lao Chaofeng a member of now?" Hua Chengyu asked.

Xiao Ye shook his head: "I only know that their leader is called Chao Feng Ye, and the last Chao Feng Ye is the famous "female spy in men's clothing" and "Oriental female devil" Kawashima Fangzi."

"Yoshiko Kawashima?"

"Lord Chaofeng?"

Xiao Ye nodded: "After Kawashima Yoshiko was executed on March 948, 3, the old Chaofeng has never appeared again. A few years ago, several old men mentioned this demon when they were reviewing historical figures."

"I remember that Yoshiko Kawashima was 41 years old when she was executed? If he was alive, he should be 56 years old, right?" Hua Chengyu said.

"Yes! But it's impossible. That trial caused a national sensation. According to records, there were 3000 onlookers and the courtroom was packed inside and out. So the judge asked a few questions and adjourned the court after half an hour. The court was reopened the next day, but 5000 people came to watch the fun, and the court could not hold a session at all. A day later, the court changed the courtroom and only notified the media to attend as observers before continuing the trial." Xiao Ye didn't believe that Yoshiko Kawashima was not dead.

"I'm just assuming! After all, there was no liberation at that time, right?" Hua Chengyu said with a smile.

He also felt that his idea was a bit absurd.

"No, I think this assumption is necessary. First of all, as you said, there was no liberation at that time. This is one reason." Director Xiao paused: "Secondly, Kawashima Yoshiko has a lot of secrets in her hands. These secrets are related to many big figures in the previous dynasty. Someone protected her, and it is not certain that someone else was killed. At that time, the city was not peaceful."

Director Xiao believes that Hua Chengyu's hypothesis is possible.

Hua Chengyu also remembered that there has always been debate in later generations about whether Yoshiko Kawashima was dead.

"Then there is another question. The old Chaofeng has been silent for more than ten years. Why has he become active again recently?" Hua Chengyu asked.

"No, the old Chaofeng may have been active all along!" Director Xiao said, "And Baihua Hutong may be one of their bases, and the rose is a tool for them to communicate."

"Using roses as a communication tool? Don't agents use radios?" Xiao Ye asked puzzled.

"There are many means of communication, including newspapers, flower drawings, code words, books, radio stations, etc. For example, they agreed to trim the roses into specific shapes, arrange them by number, leaves, orientation, etc., and form one or more groups of roses in one or more pots. It is difficult for non-members to grasp this information."

"In addition, with the assistance of the Russians, my country began to build long-wave radio stations in 55 and put them into use in 59. They can also capture the ciphertext of most radio stations. Sending messages through radio stations is extremely unsafe for spy organizations. This is reflected in the enemy spy cases uncovered in recent years. They began to use traditional communication tools to communicate with each other."

Director Xiao further explained.

Yes, since 59, the country has no longer regulated shortwave equipment such as radios. You know, a radio can be modified to be used as a shortwave radio station. It seems that you have your own plan, but others also have their own way.

Maybe Yan Bugui's rose is really the key to unlocking the mysterious organization of Lao Hanfeng.

"Brother, why don't we arrest Yan Bugui and interrogate him?" Hua Chengyu suggested.

"No!" Director Xiao thought for a while: "First, let's make an assumption. Let's assume that Yan Bugui is Lao Chaofeng's man. In addition, you said that Yi Zhonghai is also suspicious. If we arrest Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai will immediately notice it..."

"Brother, I'm talking about a secret arrest. I believe that with your abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to find an excuse?" Hua Chengyu asked unwillingly.

"Brother, you don't understand the struggle against enemy spies. These rat-like guys will hide away at the slightest sign of trouble. It will be difficult to find them. If you are not sure of catching them all in one fell swoop, the consequences will be disastrous." Director Xiao rejected Hua Chengyu's proposal.

"Brother, first of all, you have to understand the time when Yan Bugui sells flowers! Secondly, try to figure out how Yan Bugui trims the flowers, and it's best to understand the meaning of it!"

Director Xiao ordered.

Hua Chengyu fell into deep thought. Last time, Yan Bugui said that the trees were trimmed according to the customer's requirements. He didn't know whether it was true or false.

"Brother, do you have 24-hour control over Yanbugui and Baihua Hutong?" Hua Chengyu asked.

"We don't have that many people..."

"Ring...Ring..." Suddenly, the phone in Hua Chengyu's office rang.

He walked over and picked up the phone: "This is Hua Chengyu, where is it?"

"Director Hua, I'm Li Zhijun, the head of the field section of the Security Department. Please ask our director to answer the phone." A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone.

"Brother Xiao, I'm looking for you!"

After saying that, he put down the phone and motioned Xiaoye to walk out of the office with him. The security work was not in the same system as theirs and most of it was kept confidential.

They can't listen!

After a while, Director Xiao opened the door and came out with a burning ass: "Brother, I'm going back to the Security Department first. If there's anything, we can contact each other by phone."

"What's wrong, brother!" Hua Chengyu asked anxiously.

"Come in!" Director Xiao grabbed Hua Chengyu, pulled him into the house, and closed the door: "I found the two scouts under my command. The people in the field department said that the two scouts seemed to have been cast under some kind of secret spell. They are stupid and dumb, unable to speak, and can't understand questions."

"Is there such a secret technique?" Hua Chengyu was shocked.

"Yes, quite a few. I'll go over first and we'll talk later. By the way, I won't attend the afternoon meeting. Remember the people and things in your hospital and deal with them carefully." Director Xiao said.

"Okay, brother, you go and get busy first!" Hua Chengyu nodded.

The struggle against enemy spies was harsh, and the methods used in that era were far more direct than those in later generations. It was either life or death, or else one would be stuck in a state of neither life nor death for the rest of their lives.

At one fifty-five, Hua Chengyu arrived at the meeting room on time.

The afternoon meeting was unlike the morning one. Apart from Hua Chengyu, only the Standing Committee members attended the meeting.

"Comrades, the meeting will continue. Director Xiao of the Security Department has something urgent to do, so he has asked me for leave. You will also be on his behalf to exercise the voting rights. First of all, according to the requirements of the higher authorities, our factory will set up two new units. One is a temporary unit, the Industrial Standardization Reform Group. I will be the group leader, and Comrade Hua Chengyu and Comrade Li Huaide will be the deputy group leaders."

Without further ado, Secretary Sha said directly: "Comrade Li Huaide will be in charge of daily work."

Hua Chengyu could understand this. Firstly, his rank was not high enough. Secondly, his organizational relationship was not with the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. It was natural for Li Huaide to serve as the executive deputy team leader.

"Team members: Lu Youtie, Chief Engineer Xu, Director Tie of Workshop 1, Director Wang of Workshop 5, Director Zhang of Workshop 7 and Director Zhou of Workshop 15."

Most people nodded. It seemed that they must have discussed the matter privately. This arrangement was very reasonable, with the secretary taking the lead, the factory director Ju in charge, and Hua Chengyu supervising.

It is then carried out by the workshop directors of each faction.

Because it is a temporary setting, it may only exist for about a year, or even a few months, and it only needs to be approved by the Standing Committee.

As expected, the resolution was passed unanimously. The big shots were below the leadership level. With all appointments of organizational cadres frozen, the director, two deputy directors and seven section chiefs of the Quality Assurance Department became popular among all parties.

"Comrades, regarding the scope of the reform group......"

Secretary Sha drew several red lines regarding the scope of work of the reform group, which made Hua Chengyu frown repeatedly. Some of them were easy to understand, but some he could not understand.

Hua Chengyu also put forward his own views on the details, but they were basically rejected. There was no way. If we follow his thinking, whether it is capitalism or socialism, this meeting today may have to be discussed again.

At the meeting, Hua Chengyu had a heated argument with Lu Youtie, the union chairman and others, and was finally forcibly interrupted by Secretary Sha.

After a fierce debate on the candidate for the director of the Quality Inspection Department, Hua Chengyu took over as the director. As for the candidates for the two deputies and the director, no decision could be made for the time being.

Of course, the seven section chiefs and one unit chief have not been decided yet.

The meeting decided that Director Hua would be promoted to Director of the Quality Inspection Department, and the positions of Deputy Director and Section Chiefs would be temporarily vacant. All quality inspectors in a workshop would be transferred to the Quality Inspection Department to set up the business as soon as possible.

Chief Engineer Xu first stated that Hua Chengyu could hire anyone he liked in his process room or technical department.

Deputy Director and Acting Director of the Labor and Personnel Department, Director Ye, also expressed that as Hua Chengyu's family, they fully support his work.

In addition, there is the issue of the office location of the Quality Inspection Department. Taking into account the special nature of Hua Chengyu's office, the second floor of his office building was vacated and another office location was sought.

The second and third floors are for Hua Chengyu's use, and he will no longer be given a separate office.

At the same time, the work of the Organization and Cadre Department must not be neglected and must be carried out together.

At the meeting, Hua Chengyu almost cursed. In the department and the factory, he had a main job and four part-time jobs, but he only received one salary. Who could he complain to?

However, in this era, he is a high-income earner with a salary of 124 yuan, which is over 150 yuan including position subsidies.

If you count the tickets, they are definitely rich people.

Before he went downstairs, he was stopped by Secretary Sha's secretary.

"Secretary Sha!"

"Comrade Hua Chengyu, please sit down. You hold several positions at the same time, and you are still so young. I have only seen this in my early years in my entire life." Secretary Sha sighed.

He was an old man with a lucky life. He used to work in an ordnance factory, then became a deputy division commander on the front line. Later, when the country needed construction, he was arranged to serve as the secretary of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

It went through factory restructuring, public-private joint ventures, and the Great Leap Forward period.

He just wants peace now.
