Chapter 279 Identity
That night, everything, including Jiang Yige, gathered at Hengxin Restaurant. Peng Dezhu asked Yang Yifeng to take them all to a hidden room in the backyard. This room was made by Peng Dezhu ordered Yang Yifeng to do it himself. Now, no one except them knew that there was a secret door in the grocery room of the restaurant. This was designed by Peng Dezhu based on the method he saw at the Panasonic Trading Company in Baoding City.
Xia Xiaoping was brought over at noon. She was taken into such a closed room and couldn't help but feel a little resistant. When she entered a room with a large space under Yang Yifeng, she sometimes looked different. The most important thing was the military flag hanging on the front wall that had experienced many artillery fires, which shocked everyone whenever Xia Xiaoping and the others entered this room for the first time.
When Wang Junshui, Jiang Yige and Liao Kun came in, the first time they saw the military flag, they immediately stepped forward and stood attentively and saluted, and murmured, "One breath still exists, the battle continues! Although they have not lived together, I hope to die together!" Xia Xiaoping and others couldn't hear what they were saying, but from their rigorous expressions, they could see their respect for the military flag with the words "Iron-Blooded Anti-Japanese Pioneer Brigade". After they hummed, they would stand blankly and shed tears unconsciously.
Xia Xiaoping stared at the military flag seriously. He didn't know why such a military flag was hung here, and it had much to do with Jiang Yige and others calling Peng Dezhu Brigade.
After dark, not long after Jiang Yige, Su Yu, Wei Jiazhi, and Zhong Fei arrived, Peng Dezhu appeared in front of everyone. Jiang Yige and four others quickly stepped forward to salute Peng Dezhu and shouted: "Hostel!"
Xia Xiaoping, Chen Ning and others originally wanted to follow Jiang Yige and others to salute Peng Dezhu, but Peng Dezhu waved his hand to stop him.
Afterwards, Peng Dezhu glanced at everyone and said, "It seems that you have really suffered a lot during this period, but after these trainings, it will be a great help to you in the future. I won't say much about it anymore, I will give you the first task now!"
As soon as they had undergone special training, they immediately became energetic. Originally, they all had this kind of spirit, but now after a period of special training, of course they wanted to find the Japanese to show their skills as soon as possible.
After hearing Peng Dezhu say that there is a task, Xia Xiaoping and others immediately straightened their chests and waited for Peng Dezhu to give instructions. Peng Dezhu paused for a moment and said again: "Your next task is to go back to school and continue to go to school!"
“Continue to school!”
Xia Xiaoping and Chen Ning were so surprised that they couldn't believe it. Peng Dezhu repeated again: "Yes! That's right! Continue to go to school! This is your next task!"
Xia Xiaoping's personality is relatively straightforward. Others dare not question it, but she dares to raise it without hesitation. After Peng Dezhu repeated it again, Xia Xiaoping immediately asked with her neck in her neck, "I have already trained, why don't I give us a task?"
Peng Dezhu smiled and said, "Who said that he didn't give you a task? Didn't I just say it? Your task is to go back and continue to go to school!"
"What is this task? If it's just going to school, then why are we going to train for training?"
Peng Dezhu didn't want to explain too much to them. Xia Xiaoping kept confronting her, which made Peng Dezhu's face gradually become gloomy. Everyone else had seen it, but Xia Xiaoping seemed to have not seen it, so she continued confronting her.
"I'm just saying it once, your task is to go back to school!" Peng Dezhu said in a low voice again, with a gloomy face.
Xia Xiaoping wanted to argue, but was secretly pulled by Yao Meng beside her. Yao Meng looked at Peng Dezhu's appearance and felt that if Xia Xiaoping continued to talk, she would probably be dealt with by Peng Dezhu.
Xia Xiaoping calmed down, Peng Dezhu looked around the students again and said, "Before you leave here, I have a few words to explain. No one of you can tell you about the matters of Xishan during this period, and you cannot tell the matters of Hengxin Restaurant. If anyone of you can't control your mouth, it's better to talk less. If you let me know who you told the matters of Xishan and Hengxin Restaurant, you will also leave trouble for yourself in addition to being the murderer who killed him! Do you understand!"
Peng Dezhu's later words made everyone, including Xia Xiaoping, feel chilled, and also let them know that Peng Dezhu is definitely not just saying it and threatening them, he will really do that. So, when Peng Dezhu finished saying these words, they were all scared and were so stupid that they didn't know how to answer.
Peng Dezhu looked at them for a long time, then asked again sternly: "Why don't you say anything? Do you understand what I say?"
"I understand! I understand!"
...
Only then did these Xia Xiaoping and others react and nodded to show their understanding.
Afterwards, Peng Dezhu ordered Wang Junshui and Liao Kun to send Xia Xiaobai, Chen Ning and others out in batches, and told them to send them back to school or their own homes.
After seeing off Xia Xiaoping, Chen Ning and others, Jiang Yige asked in confusion: "Host, why did you send them back? I thought that after you asked us to train them, you would come to the Japanese for that moment!"
After Peng Dezhu looked at him, he then took out a newspaper from the table in front of him and put it to Jiang Yige. He pointed to a photo provided in the newspaper to show him, and said, "Look at this photo, who is the girl behind the man?"
Jiang Yige looked along Peng Dezhu's finger and reported that the Peking Chamber of Commerce raised funds for the Japanese military funds. The photo included in the report was a photo of Xia Shengjun, the president of the Peking Chamber of Commerce, and Major Ichiro Ono from the Gendarmerie Headquarters. Jiang Yige followed the point where Peng Dezhu pointed out that behind the president Xia Shengjun, a girl in student costume followed behind. Although the photo was not very clear, Jiang Yige could still see from his figure and general appearance, which was Xia Xiaoping, whom he had just trained.
"Xia Xiaoping!" After seeing the photo clearly, Jiang Yige stared at Peng Dezhu in disbelief.
Peng Dezhu nodded seriously and said, "That's right! It's that Xia Xiaoping! That's why I arranged for them to go back to class. This place is not our real hiding place in the future. I have asked Yifeng to find a yard in the west of the city, a courtyard that can go in and out. In a while, you will take your brothers here first!"
Jiang Yige nodded, but asked in confusion: "Host, this Xia Xiaoping is the daughter of the traitor president, why did you let her go? If she tells him about our whereabouts, can we still stay in Peking?"
Yang Yifeng also nodded and said, "Host, I think what our captain said makes sense. Since Xia Xiaoping is the daughter of a traitor, we shouldn't let her go back. I think it's not too late now, so I might as well catch up with Junshui and the others and tie Xia Xiaoping back."
Peng Dezhu shook his head, disagreed with Yang Yifeng's suggestion, and said, "There is no need for this. Her father is the president of the Peking Chamber of Commerce, but this does not mean that she is a traitor! When I first saw this photo, I thought she was a traitor, and I asked Yige to do it directly. However, afterwards, I thought that she had nothing to do with his father's president of the Chamber of Commerce. Think about it, when we first saw her, he and Chen Ning and others were sneak attacking the Japanese on the street. If he was a traitor, would she go to Chen Ning and the others to launch a sneak attack? Even if she was a trap for Chen Ning and others, then when we asked him to go to Xishan, he would not let the Japanese catch us all? So, I think he might be a relative of the traitor, but she still has a passionate Chinese youth in her heart."
Peng Dezhu's words made Jiang Yige and Yang Yifeng agree with each other. However, they were still not at ease with the relatives of a traitor around them, so they all moved to the courtyard in the west of the city that night according to Peng Dezhu's order.
Jiang Yige and Yang Yifeng went there first. After Wang Junshui and Liao Kun came back, Peng Dezhu explained to Wu Baoxu, saying that he would go out today and Hengxin Restaurant would take care of him.
The courtyard found by Peng Dezhu was named Peng Mansion, which was arranged by Yang Yifeng. Because this courtyard was sold to him by a man of the former Qing Dynasty. If there was no name, it would attract others' attention, so he took the initiative to change the plaque to Peng Mansion. This Peng Mansion will resound throughout the four cities of Peiping in the future.
When Peng Dezhu and Wang Junshui and Liao Kun arrived at Peng Mansion, Jiang Yige and Yang Yifeng had already arrived. In the front hall, Peng Dezhu first made arrangements for their external identities. Yang Yifeng was the accountant of the Peng Mansion, Jiang Yige was the housekeeper, and Liao Kun and Wang Junshui were the clerks. In addition, in addition to the few of them, Yang Yifeng had already found a few maids, mothers, coachmen, etc., and the entire Peng Mansion looked like a wealthy family in Peking.
Afterwards, Peng Dezhu arranged what he wanted to do to Jiang Yige and others. First, he wanted to find out Xia Xiaoping's true identity and find out whether she was also a traitor. In this matter, he ordered Liao Kun to pretend to be a driver and follow Xia Xiaoping's whereabouts every day. Secondly, he was to keep an eye on Ichiro Ono of the Japanese Gendarmerie Command to see how deep Xia Xiaoping's father Xia Shengjun had contact with him and whether he could use them to mingle in the upper class in the city of Peking.
