Chapter 102: Meeting at the Tea House

"There are two guests" Zhao Zhi and Xie Xiuyun just stepped into the Hongyun Teahouse, and the running hall with white towels on their shoulders greeted them attentively, "Are you two downstairs or upstairs private rooms?" Trotting Tang asked Zhao Zhi and Xie Xiuyun with a mouthful of standard Beijing films. This Hongyun teahouse opened in Shanghai, but from the shopkeeper to the young man are all from Beiping, so the decoration of their teahouse and the means of doing business are still the same as the old Beiping, so that everyone who comes to drink tea feels as comfortable as going home.

"It's just a private room upstairs," Zhao Zhi casually handed over a few bills to the trotting hall, and seemed to inadvertently look around at the scattered seats on the first floor of the teahouse. It seems that Hongyun's business today is not very good, there are only a few sporadic guests sitting at a dozen tables on the first floor, and they are all single men, and there are no two people like Zhao Zhi and Xie Xiuyun who come to drink tea together. Zhao Zhi smiled knowingly, and followed Xie Xiuyun to the private room on the second floor.

"A pot of melon slices, a pot of Longjing, and a few more snacks from your teahouse" After Zhao Zhi sat down in the private room, he didn't even look at the water card, so he ordered two pots of tea at random. Zhao Zhi didn't know anything about tea at all, what melon slices Longjing and the like, and he still listened to Mo Lun when he was in Beiping. Besides, he came to the teahouse just to follow Xie Xiuyun's meaning, so Zhao Zhi didn't want to pretend that he knew tea very well, he just met, and there would be a chance to drink tea or something at any time.

"This teahouse is good, you see, this window has many characteristics" Zhao Zhi took the opportunity to look at the window of the private room up close and looked outside the teahouse, under the window of the private room is a small alley, which allows three people to walk side by side, and not far from the window of the private room is the corner of the alley near the main street. Once there is danger when meeting Xie Xiuyun's superiors, Zhao Zhi can jump from the window with Xie Xiuyun in his arms, and as long as he has more than ten seconds, Zhao Zhi can take Xie Xiuyun to the back of that corner, and then disappear into the crowded crowd on the main street.

Every time he arrives in a new environment, Zhao Zhi will always involuntarily look for the most suitable route to evacuate, this may be a habit that Zhao Zhi has developed from his long-term mercenary life, even in the current era, he still can't change this habit. may be unfamiliar with the current history, so that Zhao Zhi has a guard against everyone in his heart.

At three o'clock, Jin Kai took two people to the Hongyun Teahouse on time, and the running hall didn't speak at all, but quietly pointed to the private room on the second floor, stretched out three fingers and shook them in front of Jin Kai and left. "Dangdangdang" Jin Kai walked upstairs and knocked on the door of the No. 3 private room, he didn't need to look around at all to know that the people sitting in the teahouse today were all members of the Shanghai Underground Party, and there were also people from two action teams, so Jin Kai didn't have to think about security at all.

"Please come in, he's already here" When Xie Xiuyun opened the door, he gave Jin Kai a look, indicating that the figure standing by the window with his back to them was Zhao Zhi. "Tell your people to go out, I only promised to see you" Jin Kai's feet hadn't even stepped into the private room, when he heard Zhao Zhi's somewhat indifferent voice, "There can only be three people present in this private room, and if one more person appears, I will leave immediately" Zhao Zhi never turned around, not for other reasons, but because he didn't trust Jin Kai very much.

"You two can find a random place to sit outside" Seeing that Zhao Zhi's attitude was so strong, Jin Kai had to order his two entourages to stay outside the private room, which made the messenger and the messenger's bodyguard disguised as Jin Kai's entourage very unhappy, Jin Kai entered the private room and sat down, Zhao Zhi, who had been standing by the window, turned around.

"Hello, I'm Zhao Zhi" Zhao Zhi stretched out his hand to Jin Kai with a smile, shook it with Jin Kai vigorously, Xie Xiuyun, who was busy pouring tea for the two of them, pursed her lips and snickered on the side, Zhao Zhi behaved generously, which made her very satisfied. While Jin Kai was observing Zhao Zhi, Zhao Zhi was also observing Jin Kai, judging from his face, Xie Xiuyun's superior was only in his thirties. From the hands of the two of them, Zhao Zhi did not feel that Jin Kai's hands had calluses left by the frequent use of firearms, but the joints of the thumb and index finger of this person were somewhat deformed, and he should be a person who has been engaged in copywriting for a long time, and the deformed joints were caused by holding a pen and writing for a long time.

"Hello, I'm Jin Kai" Jin Kai withdrew his hand, and seemed to leisurely take a sip of the tea that Xie Xiuyun had just poured, but in fact, Jin Kai was calming his mind. When he shook hands with Zhao Zhi just now, Jin Kai could clearly feel the power contained in Zhao Zhi's palm, and at the moment when Zhao Zhi turned around, the light flashing in his black eyes made Jin Kai a little afraid to look at him. As a person who has been engaged in intelligence work for a long time, Jin Kai can basically determine that this Zhao Zhi is not an ordinary person, and it seems that his skills are still very good.

"I heard Miss Xie say that you are collecting my information?" Seeing that Jin Kai seemed to want to explain, Zhao Zhi hurriedly stretched out his hand to indicate that his words were not finished, "I don't care what your purpose is or what you want to ask, I don't want to know any of this." I'll only give you ten minutes, you ask and I'll answer, if you ask a question that I don't want to answer, that's your loss" Zhao Zhi said his conditions very scoundrelly, and then played with the teacup in his hand very boringly, not even interested in glancing at Jin Kai, because he didn't look up at it at all.

"An hour, let the people I bring ask" After thinking in his heart for a while, Jin Kai struggled to pop out of his mouth, this matter was the first to be mentioned by the Northern Bureau, so Jin Kai wanted the messenger from the Northern Bureau to ask questions, and he just listened.

"Yes, it's just an hour" Zhao Zhi took a sip of tea and signaled that Jin Kai could call someone in. Since he agreed to Xie Xiuyun to meet her superiors, he didn't care how many people he would meet, at first he emphasized that there could only be three people in the private room, that was just to give Jin Kai a strong impression, he couldn't follow the other party, they were not his superiors.

Jin Kai got up and opened the door of the private room and whispered a few words outside, the middle-aged man in a long shirt who followed Jin Kai upstairs just now entered the private room, Zhao Zhi just nodded and said hello, until the middle-aged man sat down and spoke, Zhao Zhi didn't look at the middle-aged man. Zhao Zhi's coldness made Xie Xiuyun a little embarrassed, the other two people in the private room, one was his superior, and the other was obviously not low-level, Zhao Zhi might have done this on purpose.

"Then let's start" In the end, it was Jin Kai who broke the silence first, and after coughing dryly, the messenger took out a piece of paper from his arms and put it on the table and pushed it to Zhao Zhi, "Mr. Zhao, do you still know this piece of paper?" ”

Zhao Zhi still looked like a hanger, but slightly tilted his body and glanced at the piece of paper, "Oh, it seems to be a list of things to record, sorry, my Chinese is not very good, I can say that I can't write" Zhao Zhi's answer made Jin Kai and the messenger a little crazy, and Xie Xiuyun lowered his head and did not say a word. When Zhao Zhi was at home, he had indeed never written anything in Chinese, and Hunter asked his driver to pass on a message to Zhao Zhi, also in English, so Xie Xiuyun was not sure if Zhao Zhi really didn't know Chinese.

The messenger held back his anger, took a deep breath, and asked, "This is a list of weapons and equipment sent from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and a list of the number of weapons obtained by a guerrilla unit of the Eighth Route Army more than a month ago. What I want to ask is, did Mr. Zhao go to Xiaozhangzhuang in Funiu Mountain in Shanxi more than a month ago? Does this batch of weapons of the guerrillas have anything to do with you, Mr. Zhao? ”

"More than a month ago?" Zhao Zhi recalled with some thought, "I seem to have been to the place you said at that time, what's the matter, is there a problem?" Zhao Zihan paused slightly, took out a cigar and put it in his mouth, "It's just that I don't know what guerrillas and weapons you are talking about." I'm just a businessman, and I don't know these things you're talking about."

"Mr. Zhao, as far as we know, you went to Xiao Zhangzhuang on the commission of your friend Mr. Hunter, we just want to know where the batch of weapons and equipment you gave to the guerrillas came from" Jin Kai secretly kicked the messenger, suggesting that his companions should not fall for Zhao Zhi's tricks, they came here to understand Zhao Zhi, not to be angry with Zhao Zhi.

"Then I can't help you even more, you should ask Hunter, I just said, I'm just a businessman, things that have nothing to do with business, I have no interest in knowing" Zhao Zhi drank tea a little lazily, the time was only ten minutes later, and he had to deal with these two guys for more than half an hour, it was really torturous. Zhao Zhi was already deeply disappointed in Jin Kai and the messenger, Zhao Zhi was still full of confidence in this meeting, and he also wanted to learn about the demeanor of [***] people, but now it seems that these so-called underground parties are not good, and they are not at all level when they ask, Zhao Zhi is quite disappointed.

Xie Xiuyun finally couldn't help but reach out and pinched Zhao Zhi fiercely, and after ravaging the tender flesh on Zhao Zhi's waist for a few seconds, Zhao Zhi could be regarded as compromised, "Okay, okay, I gave you the batch of weapons of the guerrillas." They happened to save a couple of American missionaries, and the weapons and equipment were given to them as a gratuity, and it was just a deal between us and the guerrillas, is there a problem with this? Zhao Zhi pretended to ask rhetorically.

"We just want to know, where did you get those weapons?"

"What if I don't want to say it? You don't think that those weapons were snatched from your people, right" Zhao Zhi is obviously a little impatient, mother, this is treating himself as a prisoner. As soon as he said go, Zhao Zhi got up and pulled Xie Xiuyun up as well, "I was just entrusted by my friend to exchange those weapons for those American missionaries, it seems that in the process of trading, I didn't have any disrespect or harm to you." I said it was just a businessman and we only have a trading relationship between us"
