Chapter 448 Murderous Intent(2/2)

Cao Tie personally sent the doctor back to the city and went to Yuelai Inn to thank Shopkeeper Zheng in person.

After the two met, Cao Tie was led by shopkeeper Zheng to a guest room in the backyard.

Cao Tie tightly grasped shopkeeper Zheng's hand and thanked him profusely.

"Comrade Cao Tie, can we let go of my hand first?" Shopkeeper Zheng grinned as he was pinched by his iron-like hands.

Cao Tie hurriedly let go and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I'm a rough guy!"

Shopkeeper Zheng rubbed his wrist: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. You came just in time. I just have a batch of medicine here. You can take it into the mountains when you leave."

"How should I thank you?" Cao Tie said excitedly.

The guerrillas are stationed in the mountains all year round and are in dire straits due to lack of medical treatment and medicine. Shopkeeper Zheng's batch of medicines is a timely help.

"Look, the people you are talking about are all revolutionary comrades. They say thank you or not."

Cao Tie smiled honestly.

"Brother Cao, you definitely didn't come to the city this time to express your gratitude to me alone, right?"

"Hehe, actually, we..."

"Okay, I just said it casually, you don't need to take it seriously. Organizational discipline comes first!"

"Yes, also..."

In fact, shopkeeper Zheng was right. This time Cao Tie came to the city again and really had an urgent task.

Last time I went down the mountain, I captured two businessmen who went into the mountain to buy medicines. They were actually Japanese spies.

Ge Mingyong and Hou Guozheng discussed it. It was not appropriate for these two people to stay in the mountain. It would be better to secretly hand them over to the Lincheng Military Intelligence Station.

In the end, this task fell to Cao Tie and Zhi Hongtao.

However, the two of them were not very familiar with the situation in the city.

Cao Tie decided to use Qiao Zhikun's help to contact the agents at Lincheng Station and secretly handed the person over.

Cao Tie didn't understand this order at first, but Ge Mingyong patiently explained it to him.

Since these two people are pretending to be Japanese, only by handing them over to the Lincheng Military Intelligence Station in charge of counter-espionage can more value be extracted from them.

Cao Tie was not an unreasonable person, and besides, he couldn't starve these two people while they stayed in the mountain. He was definitely not willing to let the Japanese share their meager rations.

"Brother Cao Tie, if you need any help, just ask!"

"Shopkeeper Zheng, I don't even know what to say."

Cao Tie came out of Yuelai Inn and wandered on the street for more than half an hour when it started to rain.

He didn't bring any rain gear and almost got soaked in the rain.

Fortunately, this place was not far from the connection point, so I walked along the street shop corridor and finally came to a teahouse.

There were many people taking shelter from the rain in the teahouse. Cao Tie hesitated for a moment, then took out a few coins and ordered a bowl of the cheapest tea.

It is said to be tea leaves, but it is actually tea foam.

Cao Tie was reluctant to order real tea.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Cao Tie looked through the rain curtain at the pedestrians outside the window.

If he guessed correctly, the person he was waiting for would be here in a while.

About ten minutes later, a man wearing a gray cloth gown walked into the teahouse holding an oil-paper umbrella.

As he put away his umbrella, he glanced into the teahouse without leaving any trace.

Then, by chance, he sat opposite Cao Tie.

The man opened his mouth and asked: "Is anyone in my brother's family getting married?"

Cao Tie nodded: "Everything has been arranged properly, we just need to find a manager to take charge, otherwise it will definitely turn into a mess."

"Oh? Since my brother said so, I do have a suitable candidate."

"Speaking!"

"This person is my uncle. Zhang Luohong is very good at everything. Every neighbor on the blind date would not give thumbs up and praise him."

"Then is he free today? My family is in a hurry and I want to talk to him tonight so that the matter can be settled as soon as possible!"

"It should be fine. He doesn't have much on his hands these days."

"Okay, then at eight o'clock in the evening, we will still be in this teahouse and order four plates of tea. I will wait for the old man."

"My uncle likes to eat almonds."

"No problem, I will order it in advance of course!"

When the man in the long gown left, he pressed the tea money under the tea bowl, stood up and left the teahouse, disappearing under the heavy rain curtain.

After a while, the rain still showed no signs of abating. Cao Tie had something on his mind and didn't care whether he would get wet, so he got into the rain curtain.
