After listening to Yang Jixia's description, Guo Xin's frown did not relax and he started smoking one cigarette after another, which choked Tong Jia and made her cough.

Tong Jia couldn't help herself and asked, "Wasn't he fine just now? Why did he suddenly start smoking?"

Yang Jixia pulled her sleeve and whispered, "Old Guo is like this. When he's thinking about a serious problem, he likes to smoke. You can't disturb him while he's smoking. When he stops smoking, that's when he comes up with a solution.

When we first went to the northwest, the conditions were difficult and all the cigarettes we brought were smoked. He rolled dry leaves in paper and smoked them, and almost set the only forest on fire.

Anyway, there is still time before dark, so let's wait a while.

If you really can't stand the smell of smoke, go to the yard to get some fresh air first, and then come in when he stops smoking."

Tong Jia looked at Tian Ma, then at Tao Junle, and seeing that neither of them had any special reaction, and not wanting to make any special arrangements, she stayed in the room and did not go out.

Everyone waited silently for Guo Xin to smoke. By the time he finished the pack of cigarettes he brought, nearly two hours had passed. Tong Jia felt like she was almost being pickled.

Finally, Guo Xin spoke.

He said: "When we left Shanghai, we heard a piece of news.

That is, the Japanese selected a lot of Chinese students to study in their military academies, and these students were cultivated with the Japanese ideology from the inside out.

After these people returned from Fuso, they were basically divided into three groups.

Some of them entered the government, and some were sent to the puppet Manchukuo. Both groups were sent there so that they could better realize their shameful political and military goals in the future.

Another part of them used the identity of compradors of foreign companies as a cover to win over talents from other countries, and continued to infiltrate Fuso's questions and models into the Chinese people.

In this way, when they want to invade our territory in the future, they will have their people from top to bottom.

The school in the Rong family's old house should not be an isolated case. It is very likely that there are such schools in other places. They are subtly teaching those distorted and perverted cultures to the future hope of our motherland.

If this continues, even if they cannot defeat us on the battlefield, after ten or twenty years, when these children grow up, will their thoughts still be educated?

The viciousness of his heart is simply outrageous!

After we transport our things tonight, the first thing we will do is to destroy those schools. We must not let our future hopes be poisoned by their unreasonable ideas.

Also, the matter of Rong Xinhua must be resolved before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Since he had already gone to Fuso Kingdom before, it was absolutely impossible that he came back because his old mother was seriously ill.

Putting aside other things, the medical level should be better in Fuso than here.

Moreover, when you went to Shanghai, you had already said that your mother didn't have much time left. How could she possibly endure two journeys at sea within half a year?

Either Rong Xinhua didn't take your mother with him when he left, or... your mother has already passed away, and he's just using this as an excuse to find you for other purposes."

"Do you think Rong Xinhua came back this time under the order of Fuso Kingdom?" Yang Jixia asked.

Guo Xin nodded and said, "If he really has been to Fusang, then we have to think so."

"Then what should we do? You guys go and deal with the school issues, and I'll go find him and get rid of him when I find him?" Tong Jia asked.

"Well...there's no need to be so anxious." Guo Xin didn't expect that Tong Jia (Rong Xintong), the elder sister, could be so decisive in treating her own brother on major issues.

Tong Jia thought he was worried that she wasn't sincere, so she immediately took the initiative to express her position: "Don't worry, since I joined the organization, I am ready to sacrifice everything.

For the sake of the organization and my beliefs, I can even sacrifice my own life. Why should I be reluctant to give up my brother who can no longer be brought back? "

These words were spoken very righteously, causing the two young men beside Guo Xin to admire Tong Jia's determination.

But Guo Xin patted Yang Jixia on the shoulder, which made Yang Jixia shudder.

He understood what Guo Xin meant, and he was also nervous. He didn't expect Tong Jia to be so cruel.

Fortunately, Tong Jia is her comrade now. No, it should be that when she first met Tong Jia, she knew that they were comrades.

Otherwise, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of miserable end he would have faced when facing Tong Jia, who was so cruel.

As soon as this idea came to mind, it was ignored because of Tong Jia's question.

Tong Jia asked, "Since we know he has a purpose, what's the point of keeping him around if we don't get rid of him?"

Guo Xin said: “It must be solved, but we can’t be impatient.

We still have to find out what his purpose is in returning from Fuso.

What I mean is, Rong Xinhua is your biological sister after all, so it might be better if you were to handle some things, such as trying to get information or inciting rebellion.

Of course, given Rong Xinhua's character, I don't think there is any need to persuade him to defect, but it is okay to try to get some advice from him.

If we get rid of him right away, Fusang will send another person over, and it will take us a long time just to establish a relationship with that person. It is better to keep Rong Xinhua alive for the time being and let him serve us."

Tong Jia nodded and said, "That makes sense. After you send the things away, you will be assigned to handle the school affairs, and Rong Xinhua's affairs will be left to me.

Yang Jixia, you are still my nominal husband. If I find him, you have to cooperate with me."

"Of course. But I will be very busy in the next few months. If he asks, just say that I went out to do business. I opened this bun shop for you to kill time, okay?" Yang Jixia felt that it would be better to discuss some things with Tong Jia in advance.

As for the two young men that Guo Xin brought with him, they usually stayed in the store to help Tian Ma, and were told to outsiders that they were recruited pastry chefs in the kitchen.

Before opening the business, I followed Tian Ma to learn skills such as kneading dough, fermenting dough, preparing fillings, and making dumplings.

Of course, when Tong Jia needs people, these two people can also be used by Tong Jia.

One of them is called Wang Tong and the other is called Liu Qiang, both of them are in their early twenties.

Wang Tong is about 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned body, a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a straight nose. At first glance, he is a typical northern man.

Liu Qiang is relatively thin, about 1.73 meters tall, with a round face, small but bright eyes, and a smile always on his lips, giving people a friendly feeling. Although his voice is soft, his tone is firm. Judging from his voice, he seems to be from the south.

Both of them were wearing simple clothes, but their heroic spirit could not be concealed.

Tong Jia looked at the two people's flat bags and knew that they didn't bring many changes of clothes. She found two pieces of cloth from the RV and asked Tian Ma to make new clothes for the two people when she had time.

When night fell, Tian Ma and Tao Junle were left in the shop, while the others, led by Tong Jia, went to the house that she had rented in disguise during the day.

Although Tong Jia had the key, she couldn't take it out directly, so she asked Guo Xin and Yang Jixia to find a way. While the two of them, Wang Tong and Liu Qiang were fiddling with the door lock, Tong Jia took the opportunity to use the chimney on the roof to put all the boxes that had been packed long ago into the house.

The four men unlocked the door and saw a room full of neatly arranged boxes.

Guo Xin opened them one by one and examined them, his eyes brighter and brighter the more he looked.

Gold is secondary. Due to the obstruction of various forces, even if they have money, it is difficult for them to buy large quantities of supplies at one time. They can only buy small quantities in batches.

This is true for food, medicine, clothing and daily necessities, and even more so for weapons and ammunition.

Although there were not many weapons in the box, there were still plenty of bullets and grenades, and even a full box of foreign snacks.

These are all rare things.

After checking the contents of the box, Guo Xin made a decision immediately.

He asked Wang Tong to call for help to transport the weapons first. As for the gold, he would wait for the other group to arrive and then take it out in small batches. This would not arouse suspicion and would also allow them to buy as much as they needed for the long march.

After Guo Xin checked the contents of the box, Tong Jia's mission was completed, and it was no longer her responsibility to transport the items afterwards.

After Yang Jixia and Guo Xin had arranged everything, they asked Liu Qiang to accompany Tong Jia back to the store first, as he and Guo Xin had other things to do.

Usually at times like this, Tong Jia would be very obedient, because she knew that Yang Jixia was her superior, and when it was time to obey orders, she would obey them seriously.

When they returned to the store, Tian Ma and Tao Junle were still awake and waiting for them to come back.

Seeing that only Tong Jia and Liu Qiang had returned, Tian's mother anxiously asked, "Where are the others?"

Tong Jia said: "They need to transport the goods to where they need them, and there is no use for us there, so they asked us to go back first.

We all have tasks to do tomorrow, so let's go to bed early."

Knowing that everyone else was doing their job at this time, Tian's mother felt relieved and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, Tian Ma and Liu Qiang got up early and started busying themselves in the kitchen.

After breakfast, Tong Jia took Tao Junle to Hu Huihuang and Rong Xinzhi.

While having lunch yesterday, she heard Tian's mother mention that some of the people sent to the hospital froze to death, and some had to have their limbs amputated due to frostbite. The Hu family originally did not want to pay for the medical expenses, but they were worried that if they ignored these people, it would make others feel disheartened, so they gritted their teeth and paid the medical expenses.

Tong Jia was worried that the things in Hu Liu's two boxes could not cover the medical expenses and food costs of so many people, and that the secret cellar under the flower bed in the yard was empty and the matter would be exposed early, so she came here early in the morning with hot dumplings.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Xiao Kong and several policemen standing guard. The gate was open and there were policemen inside and outside the gate.

As soon as Tong Jia saw this situation, she knew that even if Hu Liushi's two boxes were all used up, as long as the patrolmen did not leave for a day, Hu Huihuang would not take the initiative to expose the secret cellar under the flower bed.

With this understanding, Tong Jia felt much more at ease.

Although the weapons had been shipped out of the provincial capital overnight, the gold had not. It would be safer for them if Hu Huihuang discovered it a day later.

We can rest assured about this matter for the time being. Tong Jia’s main purpose next is to get some information from Hu Huihuang.

Yes, her main purpose of coming here this time was not Rong Xinzhi, but Hu Huihuang.

To be precise, she came here to find the whereabouts of Rong Xinhua.

Although she wanted to get some information from Hu Huihuang, she did not take the initiative to talk to him. She even ignored Hu Liu and just watched Rong Xinzhi wiping her tears.

She cried and said, "It's all my fault as a useless eldest sister. Your brother-in-law said that his classmates are either abroad or in Beijing and Shanghai. He really can't find anyone in the provincial capital who can pass on the message to the superiors.

I can't find any connections, so I want to use money to build relationships, but I don't have the money.

When we were traveling from Jiangcheng to Shanghai, our boat sank and most of our wealth, including your brother-in-law's and mine, sank to the bottom of the river.

This time when I returned to my hometown, I was captured by those conscienceless and immoral bandits.

If someone in the provincial capital hadn't owed your brother-in-law money and was now using our house to pay off the debt, your brother-in-law and I would have been starving.

Oh... before when I had money, I didn’t realize how important money was. Now that I have no money, I really understand what it means that a penny can make a hero fall!

"Xiaozhi, do you still remember the address Uncle Wu gave me? I want to go find my eldest brother to think of a solution. After all, he once studied abroad in Japan and has seen the world. He must have more ideas than us women, don't you think?"

Rong Xinzhi didn't expect that Tong Jia (Rong Xintong) and Yang Jixia would have reached the end of their rope.

After hearing this, her mind started to work.

Originally, she thought that as long as she could leave here, she would go to Tong Jia for help, and use Tong Jia's money for her daily food, clothing and other expenses, so that she could save her own money.

But now Tong Jia has become an empty shell. If she goes to live with her, she will most likely be pestered by Tong Jia, and she will have to spend money on Tong Jia's family. No matter how she calculates it, she feels it is not cost-effective. In order to prevent Tong Jia from taking the money from selling the house, she simply pretends to be dumb in front of Tong Jia.

Rong Xinzhi was slow to speak, which made Tong Jia, who was determined to lure Hu Huihuang into the trap, feel a little frustrated.

Just when she was planning to leave for the day and come back to get more information in two days, she heard Xiao Kong's voice coming from outside the house.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with this family? Don't you see so many patrolmen standing inside and outside the door? You just rushed in without even asking. Are you blind?" Xiao Kong roared impatiently.

Tong Jia heard the sound and hurried to the door to see what was happening.

I saw two people standing outside the gate opposite the small hole, and it seemed that these two people were going to come in.

One of them was wearing a long blue cloth gown and was half a head shorter than the 5'78" Xiao Kong. Judging by his beard, he looked Japanese. The other was wearing a black suit with vertical white stripes. He was the same height as Xiao Kong, his hair neatly combed, and he looked quite handsome, but overall he didn't seem like a good person.

Seeing Tong Jia standing by the door, Rong Xinzhi, who had been silent, also came over. When she saw the person outside the door, she was stunned and blurted out "Brother".
