Chapter 48 Zhang Renyi's Son
Chen Xiao brought Monk Wei to drink wine, of course not to teach him how to spend the bridal chamber with a young girl.
He came to Taiyuan City not for sightseeing, but following the map of the Czech light machine guns and the mine cave where the Zhongzheng rifle production line was hidden as a reward for the mission, and followed the route in the map to get here.
After entering Taiyuan City, the map display immediately changed to the point where you had to arrive at the designated location at the designated time in order to see the key figures and get the next clue.
This key figure is Zhang Renyi’s son, Zhang Tao.
The time and place given by the system are clues.
For example, this time, when will Zhang Tao, as an interpreter, accompany the Japanese officers to the Yihongyuan to listen to music and watch operas?
Except for this time, Zhang Tao hid in the Japanese military camp at other times.
Only by contacting Zhang Tao can he get information about the mine. Of course, if he missed this opportunity, the map in Chen Xiao's mind would not disappear, and he would give clues the next time he had the chance to meet Zhang Tao.
But I don’t know when the next time will be, so I have to cherish the opportunity.
The clue given by the map is tonight, Yihongyuan.
This is also the reason why Chen Xiao brought Monk Wei to the brothel. The monk was scared. At first he didn't think much of it and was thinking he might as well go and eat two more steamed buns and two pieces of meat. But later when he heard that he was going to find a girl for him, he was scared!
He kept saying that he wanted to find a decent girl and would never enter the Yihong Courtyard.
It was not until Chen Xiao said that the target of this mission would appear here that Monk Wei realized that Chen Xiao was teasing him.
Chen Xiao was not short of money, so he asked for the best seat when he entered. However, the big teapot in Yihongyuan said that the best seat was not available . Colonel Kameda would come to Yihongyuan tonight to enjoy the opera. He would come once a month because he had a day off every month.
Now I understand that if I miss this opportunity, I will have to wait another month.
A small yellow croaker was thrown over, and the manager Teapot immediately said with a flattering smile that besides that location, there was another similar one, both on the second floor, but a little off, but there would still be no problem watching the show.
Chen Xiao agreed and asked the steward Chahu to serve some good food and wine. Then he casually asked when Colonel Kameda would usually arrive and why he had taken the seat so early.
The steward, Teapot, didn't think much about it and responded casually: "Colonel Kameda came in and listened to a play half a year ago. Unexpectedly, he became addicted to it after listening to it.
After that, I would come to listen to a show every month during my day off and then call a girl.
But don't worry, these Japanese officers are not allowed to spend the night outside, so even if he calls a girl you like, you just have to wait and you will get her.
If you can't wait, come back tomorrow. He only takes one day off a month. We have more time, don't we?"
After saying that, he chuckled twice and went out to prepare the wine and food.
"Boss, our target this time is Colonel Kameda?" Monk Wei asked in a low voice.
Chen Xiao shook his head: "No, it's the translator who follows him, a traitor named Zhang Tao. He has the information I want."
After a while, the steward Teapot led the people to serve them eight cold dishes, four hot dishes, a pot of wine and two girls. He could see that this guest was not short of money.
"There is still a quarter of an hour before the show begins, please have some wine and food first.
Do you need me to call two girls to drink with you?"
The steward had already decided to call two girls with whom he had a good relationship. Among the two guests in front of him, one was handsome and fair-skinned, like a young master from some family, but strangely, he was wearing a scholar's gown.
Normally, shouldn't a young man like this wear a fashionable Mao suit or Western suit?
But the guy next to him, who was half a head taller than him, was sitting there in shorts, almost as tall as he was standing. It seemed that he was the bodyguard of this young man.
"Call two to fan us, be well-behaved and don't talk too much." It would be a bit unreasonable not to call the girls when going to Yihong Courtyard, as it would easily attract attention, so Chen Xiao simply called two.
Pouring wine and fanning the room also served to conceal the truth.
"Boss, I don't need it!" The monk quickly refused, but was glared at by Chen Xiao and dared not speak anymore.
The girls came up quickly. They were indeed two young and well-behaved girls. They were wearing light clothes even in the summer and had quite slim figures.
However, what Chen Xiao was concerned about was not this, but Colonel Kameda, his entourage, and translator Zhang Tao who were walking in.
Translators usually wore Japanese military uniforms, and did not wear a Japanese military cap and carry a mirrored box as shown on TV. Translators also had military positions in the Japanese military system, but they were relatively low-level.
But now when I come to a brothel, of course I wear casual clothes, a more handsome white suit.
Kameda doesn't understand Chinese, so the whole process was translated by Zhang Tao. As for how to watch the show if you don't understand, do you need to understand to watch the show?
As usual, the steward led Kameda, Zhang Tao and two guards to their usual seat on the second floor, then waved his hand and brought up the prepared wine and food one by one. Because Kameda was used to coming at this time, and because he often came here, the steward knew the dishes he liked to eat, so he prepared them in advance.
"Boss, that's more sumptuous than ours. We spent a lot on a small yellow croaker." The monk was opening the meat with a chicken leg in his hand, muttering a few words.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh: "Our little yellow croaker is only thirty dollars, what is that for others?
They have guns and cannons, how can they not be careful? "
The monk finished eating the chicken leg in his hand and went to grab another one: "The mirror box in our hand is not much different from him. One bullet will kill him!"
The two girls who were fanning and pouring wine beside them immediately turned pale. From the way they spoke and their tone, it seemed that these two were not good people.
Chen Xiao quickly comforted them: "This guy is stupid and has never seen the world. Ignore him. Pour me some wine and fan me."
The two little girls calmed down and thought that maybe the big man was just talking nonsense because he was drunk!
After all, in this place of fireworks, it is not uncommon to see people getting drunk and talking nonsense, although the big man in front of him did not drink many glasses.
Chen Xiao shook his head. The monk used to be just a monk in Shaolin Temple and served as a squad leader. But he still had little experience, and had never had the experience of sneaking into the enemy's hinterland like this. It seems that he still needs to learn a lot in the future!
At the very least, there is room for improvement in this level of caution. One cannot just blurt out whatever comes to mind after drinking two glasses of wine.
After being warned by Chen Xiao, the monk just focused on eating, not caring about what he was doing outside, and made a roast chicken and a pig's trotter in no time.
Chen Xiao ate a few bites of food, drank a few glasses of wine, and watched the opera and body movements on the stage below with great interest.
Things need time to happen, and now is not the right time.
But soon, a play only took an hour or so.
The show was over, and Kameda was in a hurry, so he directly asked a girl to come into the house. Two Japanese soldiers followed her and guarded at his door.
The traitor translator Zhang Tao also ordered a girl for himself, and at this moment, he was hugging the girl and walking towards her room.
But what does it mean when I see two big men as soon as I enter the room?
"Hello, Translator Zhang! It's not easy to meet you, but luckily I got to see you today."
