Nanjing in June is already sweltering.

Even breathing seemed to become unsmooth.

Several agents were sitting there lazily drinking tea and chatting.

Seeing a kid of twelve or thirteen years old selling cigarettes approaching, a spy stopped him and took a pack of cigarettes: "Xiao Shun, do you have any information?"

"Give me money." Xiao Shun stretched out his hand.

"You little bastard, you dare to ask me for money, do you know what I do?" The agent glared.

Xiao Shun's eyes were even rounder than his: "Scar Tou Zhang, don't scare me. If you don't give it, I'll tell your mother to go."

"You little bastard, you are getting more and more courageous."

Scar Tou Zhang threatened a few words, took out a banknote and threw it to Xiao Shun: "Here, do you have any information?"

"No, the fur store has a big sale in the summer, and all the people coming in and out are ordinary people." Xiao Shun collected the money and said, "Scar head is nervous, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, you have to pay more."

"Get out, get out."

Scar Tou Zhang Xu kicked Xiao Shun away.

It's not just that you have joined the military to be considered a spy.

People like Xiao Shun, who sell cigarettes, shine shoes, and pick up cigarette butts, are all members of the military's peripheral organizations.

These half-grown boys have become the eyes of the secret service.

Once they have discovered something, they report it and after it is confirmed, they can often receive a reward. For some important information, the reward is enough for them to buy rice for a week.

Xiao Shun is thirteen years old this year, and is the next-door neighbor of Scar Tou Zhang. He was developed into an outside spy a year ago.

At the beginning of the year, he discovered a suspicious person staying in a nearby hotel and immediately reported it to Scar Tou Zhang. As a result, he found out that this guy was actually a government official who had absconded from Peiping with a sum of public funds.

Originally, he thought that the most dangerous place was the safest place, and no one would think that he had actually reached the capital.

But who would have thought that he would be arrested less than a day after arriving in Nanjing.

The arrest of this official saved the government more than 100,000 yuan in losses. Starting from Scar Tou Zhang, all the agents involved were rewarded.

Xiao Shun was also rewarded with twenty yuan and even received an audience from Meng Shaoyuan.

Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious and asked him how he found out that there was something wrong with that official.

Xiao Shun pointed to his eyes proudly: "I sell cigarettes every day, and I also help Kuaishou Ba Ye to show off. What kind of person have I not seen?"

Xiao Shun didn't tell the whole truth either.

Kuaishou Ba Ye is the boss of pickpockets in Nanjing city. His surname is You, and he is known as "You Kuaishou". Xiaoshun has been following You Kuaishou since he was seven years old, and is mainly responsible for looking out for opportunities and exploring routes.

This time he watched the official enter the hotel, and then sneaked into his room while the official was out for dinner, opened his suitcase and rummaged around, and found the government official's ID card, and...

A gun.

Xiao Shun was frightened and quickly reported it to Scar Tou Zhang, and then the corrupt official was caught.

Meng Shaoyuan knew that Xiao Shun didn't tell the whole truth, so he didn't ask any more questions. He simply paid out of his own pocket and rewarded Xiao Shun with an extra ten yuan.

In the city of Nanjing, there are eyes and ears like Xiaoshun everywhere.

Let alone Xiao Shun, even You Kuaishou has become a member of the military command.

Nanjing is said to have 3,800 pickpockets. Of course, this is an exaggeration, but there are always a few hundred, and they are all under the control of You Kuaishou.

For those pickpockets from out of town, the first thing they do when they arrive in Nanjing is to visit You Kuaishou, otherwise they won't be able to survive. You don't need the police to take action, You Kuaishou will be the first to deal with you.

And now, including You Kuaishou, all the pickpockets in Nanjing have been recruited by the military commander.

You can continue to steal things, but once you are needed, your 3,800 pickpockets must go all out.

In addition to these pickpockets, all those in Nanjing who pick dung, sell vegetables, and collect rags have the military's spies in every industry.

So in the capital, at the feet of the emperor, life was not that easy for Japan.

Eyes are watching everywhere.

But now, under Dai Li's arrangement, these people are unified under the command of one person:

Meng Shaoyuan!

No industry is exempt.

Therefore, among the bosses from all walks of life in Nanjing, no one dares to mention the name "Meng Shaoyuan". When talking about him, they always call him "Meng Ye" respectfully.

"Meng Ye" will be responsible for inspecting Nanjing Railway Station today.

He led two subordinates, one named Pan Baolai, who was twenty years old, and the other named Song Deng, who was twenty-four years old. They were both just entering the military system. They were particularly outstanding and had excellent development prospects.

Especially Song Deng, a serious college student who can speak fluent English, somehow became a spy by some strange combination of circumstances.

Pan Baolai didn't have much education, but he was smart and had a very strong memory. He could recognize people he met once in a crowd a few years later.

Meng Shaoyuan once gave him a test in his own way.

He asked Pan Baolai to draw a portrait and let Pan Baolai look at it. Then he took him to the street, pointed at the bustling crowd on the street, and asked Pan Baolai to find the person in the portrait in the crowd in the shortest possible time.

In less than ten seconds, Pan Baolai found the target with a simple and blurry picture.

This kind of talent is definitely scarce.

Both of them are fresh blood that Meng Shaoyuan is extremely interested in and cultivates deliberately.

Unfortunately, the time left for Meng Shaoyuan was too short. If he could be given another year, he might be able to organize a new elite team.

"Master Meng, oh, are you personally leading the team today?"

When an old policeman saw Meng Shaoyuan, he quickly stepped forward, took out a cigarette with a smile, and fired one.

Meng Shaoyuan looked at the cigarette: "Okay, Harden, Mr. Xie, where did you get the cigarette?"

"Mr. Meng, are you kidding? With our salary, how can we afford to smoke Hademan every day?" Xie Laosheng smiled and lit a cigarette for Meng Shaoyuan.

Meng Shaoyuan took a puff: "Look at your body, did you smoke heavily again yesterday?"

"No, no, I quit a long time ago."

"Quit it." Meng Shaoyuan cursed: "If you can quit smoking, I will buy you a bag of Hardman every day. Is there anything going on at the train station today?"

"What could possibly happen? There was a merchant from the south. I thought he was not a good person, so I took someone to check him out. As a result, contraband was found in his luggage. I gave him thirty yuan and let him go.

"

"Thirty yuan?" Meng Shaoyuan's eyes widened: "That man paid thirty yuan so readily. What kind of contraband is so valuable?"

Xie Laosheng quietly looked around and lowered his voice: "Mr. Meng, don't worry, it's not weapons, it's medicine, western medicine. Not much, just a gang member, and these gang members are all fucking desperadoes.

If you want to take something from him, he really dares to risk his life with you."

Meng Shaoyuan shook his head.

These policemen are most afraid of encountering smugglers who are running single-handed gangs, and they also like to meet smugglers who are running single-handed gangs.

Once intercepted, smugglers who run single gangs often take generous measures to ensure the safety of their goods.

But if you are selfless and seize the other party's goods, they will really fight hard.

There is no other way, all the wealth is staked on this one order.

"Hey, Mr. Xie, if you encounter smuggled drugs in the future, especially Western medicines, remember to bring them to me." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "Tell them not to be afraid. I will offer them a high price to buy them."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Xie Laosheng responded continuously: "By the way, just now, there was a female student whose luggage was stolen as soon as she got off the train. Seeing that I am a policeman, if they catch me and report the crime, where the hell can I help her?

Looking for it?"

Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "Is it someone from You Laoba who did it again? How many times have I told him, don't steal from students, don't steal from students, why doesn't he listen? Where is the student? Take me there

have a look."

When he saw the female student, he found that she looked confused, her eyes were big and red, and she looked like she had just cried.

Looks familiar?

"Is it you?" the female student blurted out: "Are you the secret agent who let us go?"

Ah, it's her.

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly remembered it.

Isn't he the one who was particularly courageous among the college students who participated in the parade that he deliberately let go when he was in Shanghai?

I didn't expect that she would come to Nanjing.

"What's your name?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.

"Jiang Yueping."

I helped her when I was in Shanghai, and now that I'm in Nanjing, I might as well help her again.

Meng Shaoyuan called Mr. Xie over: "Take her to Lao Ba's place, and quickly return the luggage to her."

"Okay, okay, leave it to me." Xie Laosheng agreed: "Who is it? Come with me and I will take you to find your luggage."
