The weather in spring is changing, and the next day is cloudy. Although the spring breeze blows gently, the air is very humid and makes people feel uncomfortable.

Li Qinglin got up very early today and left early. Today is not a day to go to the market, and there are not many people on the street. When Li Qinglin came to the Wantong Trading Changsheng Branch, Liu Zhengsheng had already been waiting for him at the door of the trade.

As soon as they met, Liu Zhengsheng asked him: "Have you brought the things?"

Li Qinglin replied: "Take it! When will I give it to him?"

Liu Zhengsheng pulled him away and said, "He is already waiting at Tianfuju. I have asked for an hour off today. Let's return the things quickly. After that, I will continue to stand in the store."

Tianfuju is a hotel, teahouse and hotel in Changsheng Town.

Changsheng Town is about forty miles away from the county town. An ancient trade road passes through the middle of the town, and then walks along the ancient road to the other side for a dozen miles. It is the boundary of another county, Wanlin County. Wanlin County is a mountainous county. Since ancient times, there are only a few roads that have come out of the mountain. This ancient trade road is one of them. Due to the connection of the ancient road, there are quite a few business travelers from the two counties. This Changsheng Town between the two counties has become a place for many travelers to rest.

What Chinese people cannot do without for a moment are clothing, food, housing and transportation. For those who go out, food, accommodation and transportation are particularly important. China has never lacked smart businessmen since ancient times. Of course, those who open hotels and restaurants in Changsheng Town will not miss this business opportunity. They usually have several types of things. As long as the guests stay, food, accommodation and transportation are provided with one-stop service. Tianfuju is such a hotel.

Tianfuju Street is a two-story building. There are seven or eight tables in the shop on the lower floor, and the upper floor is divided into several elegant seats. Ordinary diners usually eat downstairs. Today, Pan Kewei asked Liu Zhengsheng's room to be in the elegant seat upstairs.

Tianfuju's business seems to be really good. Although today is not a market day, the tables in the store are basically filled with customers. Liu Zhengsheng probably often deals with the shop's shop's shop, and before he entered the door, the Fuju's friend greeted him warmly.

Li Qinglin followed Liu Zhengsheng into Tianfuju. As soon as he entered the door, he found that the two men in black were sitting on a table beside the door were very unusual. The two of them dressed like locals. They brewed a cup of tea in front of each other, and had some breakfast on the table. They didn't talk much, but they were eating breakfast and drinking tea slowly, which seemed to be here to kill time. However, the two chose the location that was very good. If anyone who entered this hotel or even a fly could not escape their eyes.

"These two people must be Pan Kewei's subordinates, and Pan Kewei's current status is extraordinary!" Li Qinglin thought.

Pan Kewei had already cheered breakfast and tea in the room upstairs. As soon as Liu Zhengsheng and Li Qinglin opened the door, Pan Kewei stood up and clasped their fists to greet Liu Zhengsheng: "Brother Liu, don't be safe! I escaped from death with the help last time. This time I am about to travel far. I came to the place to report safety to me, and the other is to thank me for my kindness again!"

Liu Zhengsheng also clasped his fists and said, "Brother Pan has said it. The ancients said that when he saw injustice, he drew his sword to help him. I was just a small task. How could I talk about any kindness? Besides, I had sent someone to send me a lot of oceans last time, and I was already ashamed of it. I don't have to be too polite, brother."

Pan Kewei said, "How dare you forget your life-saving grace? If you can't thank each other in this life, can I still be a human being in the world?" As he said that, he clasped his fists at Liu Zhengsheng and Li Qinglin again and said, "Please sit down, two!"

After Li Qinglin entered the door, he was observing Pan Kewei. Pan Kewei was about twenty-seven or eight years old. He was not tall and not strong. He had a very ordinary face and was wearing a long gown. The fabric of the long gown was very ordinary. At first glance, he looked no different from an ordinary businessman.

After careful observation for a while, Li Qinglin found that he still had different parts. Pan Kewei's eyes were not big but very distinctive. His eyes seemed to have a knife, as if he could cut open his opponent's head at any time and carefully analyze what was inside.

After the three of them sat at the table, Pan Kewei smiled and said to Li Qinglin: "This guy is Li Qinglin, right?"

Li Qinglin felt a little nervous. Now he was just a farmer boy who had been studying for a few years. He had done nothing since he was out of school. Pan Kewei had his identity checked just because he was Liu Zhengsheng's cousin. This Kuomintang spy is really not a good person, so he should stay away from him.

Li Qinglin also smiled and clasped his fists, saying to Pan Kewei: "Brother Pan is indeed very conscious. I am Li Qinglin and Zhengsheng's cousin."

Li Qinglin said as he reached out his hand and took out the dagger from behind and handed it to Pan Kewei, saying, "Brother Pan, this is your dagger, and now you return it to Zhao intact."

Pan Ke's eyes lit up when he saw Li Qinglin's movement of holding a dagger. He asked Liu Zhengsheng: "Have your cousin practiced martial arts?"

Li Qinglin hurriedly said, "I can't say I'm practicing any martial arts. I just learned some dealer styles from my uncle in the past few months, just to protect myself."

Pan Kewei did not take the dagger, and he smiled and said, "The dealer's hand style? I think you are not simple in the crop hand style. The ancients said, 'Learn from the civil and military skills, goods and imperial families'. Brother Qinglin is both civil and military, why not come out to contribute to the country?"

Seeing that he did not take the dagger, Li Qinglin had to put the dagger in the middle of the table and said, "Brother Pan doesn't know anything. It's not that I don't want to go out to do things, but that our old Li family is few, and our parents still have to stay by our side at home to fulfill our filial piety."

Seeing that Pan Kewei was about to say something, Li Qinglin hurriedly changed the topic: "Brother Pan said he was going to travel far this time. I wonder where the brother found a way to make money?"

Pan Kewei was indeed distracted. He picked up the chopsticks and said to Liu Zhengsheng and Li Qinglin: "Come on, let's talk for a long time, and the things on the table are almost cold. Everyone is eating and talking."

After eating a few bites and drinking a few sips of hot tea, Pan Kewei said: "Due to the recommendation of my superior, I will go to Zhejiang Police School to participate in the training this time, and I will be ready to enter the police force to protect the country and the people in the future."

After the Battle of Songhu in 1932, in order to cultivate the "political police" talents needed by the spy organization, with Chiang Kai-shek's approval, Dai Li set up a "spy police cadre training class" at the Zhejiang Police School, and Dai Li himself served as the political commissioner of Zhejiang Police School. Since 1932, Dai Li has selected and trained a large number of spy personnel at the Zhejiang Police School. This time, Pan Kewei went to study, because his superiors liked him and asked him to systematically learn spy skills. Because Pan Kewei was about to become Dai Li's disciple, Li Qinglin could even be sure that Pan Kewei would be valued after graduation.

Liu Zhengsheng, who was unaware of it, disagreed. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Brother Pan, although he is a policeman, his salary is small and he may be in danger. You are loyal and trustworthy, and the road to doing business is smooth, and merchants are profitable. I still think that you are better at doing business than being a policeman!"

Pan Kewei smiled and said, "Brother, I am a serious businessman, but because of the chaos in the world and disasters, I was hurt by evil people. The reason is that the country is weak and the legal system is not working. I abandoned business and became a police officer this time because I wanted to use my own strength to uphold justice and eliminate violence and safeguard the good."

Seeing that Liu Zhengsheng wanted to say something, Li Qinglin interrupted him and said, "Cousin, Brother Pan has lofty ambitions, and his ambitions are beyond our ability to attack the common people. Nowadays, foreign enemies are blinded, and the people are confused, and there is constant internal struggle. Brother Pan, who is both civil and military, needs to take on social responsibilities, so that we can live and work in peace and contentment. I think Brother Pan is the right choice on this path."

Pan Kewei nodded and said to Li Qinglin: "Brother Qinglin seems to have some ideas about the current situation. Can you tell me?"

Li Qinglin had just successfully diverted Pan Kewei's attention to him, but now he was aimed at him again. He thought to himself that it was really a disaster! Why do you say so much? At this time, Li Qinglin wanted to give himself a big mouth.

Regrets no matter how much I regret it. Pan Kewei was already asking him, but Li Qinglin didn't dare to tell Pan Kewei's thoughts. He hurriedly said: "These are all seen in the articles in the newspaper. How could I think of these myself? I just learned and sold them right away."

Pan Ke sighed: "These scholars and literati who wrote articles have some truths! But China has been poor and weak for a long time. As the saying goes, it is said that three times freezing will not be a cold one day. The awakening of the people, the prosperity of the country, and the strength of the army will take time. But the Japanese have not left us much time. We can only start with me when we fight against Japan and save the country."

Then he asked Li Qinglin and Liu Zhengsheng: "Brothers, the country is in danger and the nation is in danger at this time. Are you willing to come out with me to contribute to the country?"

Li Qinglin thought he must have to fight against Japan, but he also had to choose a good way to serve the country when he resisted Japan. The best choice for anti-Japanese was of course to join the Communist Party, but where has the Communist Party team reached on the Long March? Li Qinglin still doesn't know yet. The country is in danger and the nation is in a critical state. Li Qinglin, who was a passionate young man in his previous life, naturally would not sit idly by, but he really was unwilling to join the notorious spy organization recommended by Pan Kewei.

The current problem is how to politely reject Pan Kewei's invitation without offending him. Li Qinglin almost sweated.
