C1020 Spy Hu Lao Er

No matter how lively the scene was, after watching for three days, they would slowly forget about it. The citizens of the Beijing were excited for over half a month, and then, they slowly returned to their peaceful lives. Replacing them were the last few batches of food delivered by the kang boat this year, and the winter cotton clothes they had to worry about after the weather gradually turned cold.

Day after day, year after year, life was uneventful. There were wars over ten thousand miles away, and people who could not survive. Although pitiful, there were only pitiful people left.

After the White Dew Festival ended, the citizens of the Beijing would have to put all their energy into winter, and every household would have to prepare some money, because after a day of cold weather, they would have to prepare the coal, winter vegetables, and New Year's money beforehand.

It was said that the new year was not easy to pass. In fact, it was only for families that did not know how to operate. The one who was truly meticulous was not someone who measured cotton clothes in the summer, or who made a single coat in the winter.

Old man Hu and Old Master Hu, who lived in ten alleys near New North Bridge, were obviously the most astute people in the world. Three years ago, they were the poor families in the capital, and the alleyways they quarreled with every day.

Second Brother Hu first grit his teeth and entered the Russia Cathedral to become a staunch priest. Then, in less than half a year, he managed to find a job as an errand boy in the embassy.

If one were to talk about foreign embassies, they would have to hire a large number of locals. After all, vegetables and other miscellaneous items would have to be purchased from the Beijing.

Second Brother Hu was a servant in the Russian Minister. His daily job was to fill the Beijing to the brim and buy things for the Russia Elders.

Although the Russia had a rough personality, he was not an idiot. Sometimes, he would also send people to investigate if the Chinese purchasing agencies had cheated them of their money. The previous generation of people like Old Second, who were greedy for the Russian's money, were beaten up and thrown into the streets.

What he should not take, he would absolutely not hold out his hand. In the end, the embassy did not discover anything wrong with him during their three investigations, and thus, he obtained the trust of the Russian and worked there for more than three years.

Today, Second Brother Hu left the Russia Embassy in advance after finishing his errands. He went to the Southern City Coal Field to book a batch of high-quality winter coal, and then went to the Sky Bridge Bath to watch some tricks.

When the sky had just turned dark, he carried half a kilogram of pig head meat as he staggered home. However, just as he walked past the 4th building, two shadows suddenly rushed out from a small alley nearby and dragged him in while covering his mouth.

In the dark alley, they took many turns and entered a run-down house. When Second Brother Hu's eyes were stung by the light of the oil lamp, he let out a long sigh and said with lingering fear, "You guys scared me to death. I thought I met someone who was in danger …"

"Why did you not send a telegram in three days? Now that we suspect that you have been bribed by the Russian, this will be the last chance we'll give you to explain yourself … " The faceless man in the shadow of the oil lamp said in a low voice.

"Don't... "Don't!" Hu Lao was so scared that he started to sweat profusely. "It's really been three days and telegraph room didn't move, if I lied to you, I would be your grandson …"

The few burly men in the shadows did not make any jokes about Hu Lao Er, and the atmosphere became colder and colder until finally, Hu Lao Er said in a sobbing tone, "Don't be like this, Russian really did not touch the telegraph, you all know the situation of my ancestors and the eight generations, do you think that I would dare to lie to you?"

"Besides, there's no news from the kitchen, and there's no news from Brother Zhang as well, right?" For the last twelve hours of the day, we have been keeping a close eye on telegraph room, without any loopholes … "

Perhaps it was because the Second Brother Hu's nervous expression did not seem fake, but the atmosphere in the room had clearly eased up a lot. The leading man asked in a low voice, "Do you think that the Russian is starting to suspect you? They secretly moved the location of the telegraph? "

Second Brother Hu tilted his head and thought for a long time. "No, it's not that they suspect us, I've also been secretly observing Ulangeli and those officials for the past three days and I'm not as nervous as I was in the past. Although my expression is still angry, it's much more relaxed than before.

"Good boy!" "Just looking at the 30 taels of silver worth of noodles and the delicacies on the table …"

"Get to the point, stop bullshitting!" The person shouted.

"Yes, yes, yes. That's the main point …" I feel that the silence these few days was not due to some scheme on my part. It seems like these people are waiting for some sort of news. "That's right, we're waiting for news. Basically, there are people on duty all day in telegraph room. The supply of coffee has clearly increased …"

The person whispered to each other for a bit, then threw down a red paper wrapped silver coin scroll. "I'll give you three points. This is your overtime fee, so you have to keep an eye on it and not make the slightest mistake …" Especially you, don't drink too much these days, and don't make any mistakes! "

"Ah …" Don't worry, lords, I'm the best at this kind of work! "If the prime minister can reward me with a word, I will kowtow to you!"

"Stop being so talkative, hurry up and go home!" A few of them chased Hu Lao Er out of the courtyard, and then Xiao Hexin appeared in the corner.

"It seems like it's not a betrayal. The lives of the second and ninth clans of the Hu Clan are within our grasp. He doesn't have the guts to …" What he said is correct, the Russian is just waiting for news! If what you guessed was correct, then it should be the instructions of the Russia's Tsar! "

"That's true!" After such a long time, Ulangeli and the others have already done all that they could. After gathering all the information, they would discuss and analyze it in Moscow before issuing a new order.

"Let us work hard, brothers. The shift watch will receive three times the overtime pay in the next few days. We must not miss the most important information!"

The specific location of the embassy of the Russia was at the westernmost area of the East Crossing Folk Lane, right next to the Taiyuan Hospital and the Venerate Heavens Sect.

This place was an incredible location. To the west, it was only four or five hundred meters away from the Chessboard Street, the True Sun Sect, and the Great Qing Sect.

No one would have thought that inside the Venerate Heavens prison, which was separated from the Russia's embassy by a wall, a storage room had already been transformed into a secret room that was used to monitor Russian by the CIA in the service rooms in the eastern courtyard.

The hidden electric wires inside the wall were secretly hanging together with the telegraph line of the Russia Residence. All of the messages received and sent by the Russian could be copied at the same time.

A copper pipe was buried in the ground from the secret room of the Venerate Heavens Sect all the way to the service room of the Russian Minister. It was hidden underneath a clay pot filled with flour.

At noon, Sister Liu and Second Brother Hu were chatting in the kitchen. Today's food for the Legation was Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, Steamed Meat, Sixi Ball, and Salted Chicken … Since the table was filled with meat, this group of old setae were all carnivores.

Suddenly, the second brother Hu's eyes lit up, and kicked her with his heels. He said in a low voice, "There's a movement in telegraph room! A shadow moved, hurry up and report … "

Sure enough, Russian's figure suddenly appeared in the crack of the window, followed by a wave of noisy Russian voices. Sister-in-law Liu used a lot of strength to pry open the jar with one hand and then used her heel to kick on the stone floor.

Dong dong dong … The muffled sound travelled down the copper pipe and into the secret room of the Venerate Heavens Sect. The spy immediately became excited.
