Chapter 190: Inciting Jiang Teng to Revolt
"What if he agreed on purpose and confessed it when he got back?"
Henian did not agree and asked in return. Jiang Tengkong was once a high-ranking official at the lieutenant colonel level. It was not easy to get someone like him to work for him.
"Section Chief, Lan Chuchu is one of his weaknesses, but Lan Chuchu alone is not a guarantee. We can't be sure that Jiang Tengkong won't turn against us, so in addition to the letter of allegiance, I plan to have him write a document against Touman Otojiro."
"Touman Otojiro, Black Dragon Society?" Henian asked in surprise.
Touman Otojiro is one of the founders of the Black Dragon Society and committed heinous crimes in Northeast China. Henian is no stranger to this person.
"Yes, Chief." Chu Lingyun nodded.
"Why not just have him write something insulting about the Emperor? Would it be any use writing a letter about Touman Otojiro?"
He Nian asked, "During this period, the Japanese emperor enjoyed extremely high prestige among the people and was supported by many ordinary people in Japan."
But there were also opponents. Ordinary people did not dare to insult the emperor directly, but many of them cursed him in secret.
"Section Chief, if Jiang Tengkong really turns against us, insulting the Emperor will only prevent him from getting promoted in the future, but it won't threaten his life. However, if his insults against Touman Otojiro get out, he will undoubtedly die."
The reason is simple. Even if others are dissatisfied with his insults to the emperor, they will despise him and will not kill him after realizing that he was coerced.
But if the target is Touman Otojiro, the result will be completely different.
Touman Otojiro is the founder of the Black Dragon Society and has a very high prestige in the Black Dragon Society.
There are tens of thousands of Japanese ronin in the Black Dragon Society. These people believe in the spirit of Bushido and regard Touman Otojiro as their spiritual pillar.
If they knew that someone was targeting their leader in order to survive, these ronin would go crazy and seek revenge on Jiang Tengkong.
What's more, Touman Otojiro is not a generous person. He has a strong desire for revenge and may even kill Jiang Tengkong.
"I see. Your plan is good. You can give it a try."
He Nian nodded suddenly. He was not stupid. Although Chu Lingyun did not say it explicitly, after hearing this, he already understood Chu Lingyun's intention.
"Yes, Chief, I'll go find Jiang Tengkong right away."
Lan Chuchu was taken away for treatment. Although Jiang Tengkong was not injured, his eyes were dull.
He betrayed his country and had no chance of returning, and his identity meant that the Chinese were destined not to let him go.
"Bring Jiang Tengkong here."
Chu Lingyun instructed Niu Qiu, and several people took Jiang Tengkong out of the interrogation room and brought him to a secret cell outside.
Only Chu Lingyun and He Nian were in the cell, while Niu Qiu and the others were guarding outside.
"Jiang Tengkong, for the crimes you committed in China, it is not excessive to execute you. Now I am giving you a chance to live. It depends on whether you can seize it."
Chu Lingyun said to Jiang Tengkong. Jiang Tengkong raised his head and his heart moved slightly: "You want me to work for you?"
"Yes, it's easy to talk to smart people."
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. Jiang Tengkong's mind was racing. He had thought that he was going to die, but now the Chinese wanted to incite him to rebellion, which was equivalent to giving him a chance to survive.
If Jiang Tengkong could survive, he would definitely not give up, otherwise he would have committed suicide long ago.
But at this time, he didn't really want to help the Chinese.
As long as he can survive, the future will have unlimited possibilities. Lan Chuchu is in the hands of the Chinese, but as long as he catches a Chinese agent in the future, there will be hope of exchanging Lan Chuchu back from the Chinese.
Compared to professional agents, Lan Chuchu's life is worthless.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll deliberately agree and then go back on my word?"
Jiang Tengkong wanted to agree directly, but he knew that if he agreed too readily, the Chinese would not believe him.
"So you need to do something."
Chu Lingyun asked Niu Qiu to bring a table with paper and pen on it. Jiang Tengkong immediately understood what they were going to do.
He understood that those who tried to defect would have to write a letter of allegiance and would have their photographs taken.
Chu Lingyun went over to untie the restraints on Jiang Tengkong. Jiang Tengkong moved his wrists. His feet still hurt a little. The Chinese man was faster and more skilled than him. He caught up with him and slid sideways to kick his ankle. He fell down and was caught.
"Are you so sure I will agree?"
Jiang Tengkong did not start writing immediately, as he had to act out the whole play. But now that he had a chance to survive, his mind was obviously much more active.
"You have poison. The fact that you didn't commit suicide the first time shows that you have a strong desire to survive. Write it. This is your only chance."
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. Jiang Tengkong looked at him deeply, sat cross-legged at the table, and wrote the letter of allegiance seriously.
The letter of allegiance has a common format and the content is not complicated. It is just a vow to serve someone and what will happen if the pledge is violated.
Soon he filled up a piece of paper and completed the letter of allegiance.
After having Jiang Tengkong press his fingerprint, Chu Lingyun put away his letter of allegiance and then pushed another piece of paper over to him: "Now I speak, you write."
"What else to write?" Jiang Tengkong looked up in surprise.
The oath of allegiance had been written, and his confession had been written by the recorder, so he only needed to sign and seal it. Chu Lingyun's behavior at this moment made him a little confused.
"Don't ask any more questions, just write it."
Chu Lingyun scolded him and then said, "I am Jiang Tengkong. I hate Japan's top villain, Touman Otojiro, and I am willing to expose all his evil deeds."
"What?" Jiang Tengkong suddenly looked up, his face full of shock.
"Write."
Chu Lingyun glared at him. Jiang Tengkong had only two choices: either write according to his requirements or die.
“Why write this?”
Jiang Tengkong's scalp tingled. He knew very well who Touman Otojiro was. Wouldn't he, a mere major, be tired of living if he exposed Touman Otojiro's crimes?
"I told you, don't ask too many questions. Will you write it or not?"
Chu Lingyun took out his pistol and loaded it: "If you write it, you and Lan Chuchu will be fine. If you don't write it, you will be tortured in the future."
Jiang Tengkong is going back to Shanghai tomorrow, and Chu Lingyun doesn't have time to talk nonsense with him.
"Okay, I'll write it."
Jiang Tengkong looked at Chu Lingyun, gritted his teeth, and began to write according to Chu Lingyun's request, and wrote in Japanese.
"Touman Otojiro was a beggar selling sweet potatoes, yet he repeatedly insulted the powerful and influential people of the Empire of Japan and assassinated Daigen's followers, causing Daigen's Foreign Minister to resign due to his disability. He also ordered the beating of the Imperial Guard, Nishidera Shichiro, in an attempt to force him to commit suicide, and even crazily assassinated those in the military and political leadership who disagreed with him. This is his first crime."
Chu Lingyun said slowly, Jiang Tengkong wrote very slowly, his eyelids twitching.
Touman Otojiro did assassinate high-ranking officials and nobles in Japan many times, and sent people to beat up Nishidera Shichiro. The Nishidera family is an old-fashioned Japanese noble family, and the head of the family holds the title of duke.
These are true events that happened. Many people know about them, but not many dare to speak them out. Moreover, those who accused Touman Otojiro in this way have long since turned into dry bones.
"Touman Otojiro formed the Black Dragon Society, claiming to be expanding the Emperor's territory, but in reality he was secretly accumulating strength in order to rebuild the shogunate and control the Emperor. This is his second crime."
Jiang Tengkong became more and more panicked as he wrote, and sweat kept coming out of his forehead.
"Touman Otojiro had an affair with the princess and insulted her..."
"Touman Otojiro loves male favorites and kills innocent people..."
He wrote down seven items one by one, some of them were true and some were false. The first ones were true, and the latter ones were basically false, but most people couldn't tell the true from the false.
After finishing writing, Chu Lingyun immediately picked up what he had written and read it carefully to see if what he had written was the same as what he said.
Jiang Tengkong did not cheat and wrote it exactly as he said.
"Paint."
Chu Lingyun picked up Jiang Tengkong's hand. At this time, Jiang Tengkong's hand was shaking, and the sweat on his head couldn't stop flowing down.
Looking at the fingerprints he had pressed, Jiang Tengkong understood that from now on he could only obey Chu Lingyun's orders and do what they said. As for turning against them, he should not even think about it.
If this thing were seen by Touman Otojiro's supporters, he would surely die.
Not only would he die, but his family and everyone connected to him back home would suffer. Even if Touman Otojiro magnanimously spared him, the Black Dragon Society's 60,000 ronin would not let him go if he accused and framed him like this.
They don’t care whether you are forced or not, daring to write like this is a capital crime.
Then he will be subjected to endless assassinations until his death.
Even if he hides, it's no use. These crazy werewolves will hunt him all over the world and won't stop until they kill him.
Jiang Tengkong slumped on the ground. He knew very well that after writing this thing, he would never be able to escape the control of the Chinese.
Chu Lingyun personally took the camera to take pictures of Jiang Tengkong.
After taking pictures from various angles of Jiang Tengkong holding the letter of allegiance and the accusation letter from his rival Man Otojiro, Chu Lingyun put away the film.
He will develop the film himself, and these photos will be kept as top secret in the Military Intelligence Department in the future.
"From now on, your code name will be Rose, and you will only accept orders from me and Section Chief He."
After putting away the things, Chu Lingyun said to Jiang Tengkong, even with these things, it cannot be guaranteed that Jiang Tengkong will be obedient, but it is equivalent to his Achilles' heel.
If Jiang Tengkong hands this thing over to the Black Dragon Society, he will be dead.
Jiang Tengkong has a desire to survive, and he confessed for Lan Chuchu. He is not a firm believer in the emperor. As long as the information he provided is verified to be true in the future, he will gradually serve himself.
"Yes, but I need a liaison so that I can pass on the information in a timely manner."
Jiang Tengkong sat up, his mentality changed quickly. Since there was no possibility of betrayal, he might as well serve the Chinese people well.
As long as he is not exposed, at least he can live a little longer and save Lan Chuchu's life.
"I'll give it to you, don't worry."
Jiang Tengkong added, "Also, you need to give me an emergency contact number. If I'm in danger and need to evacuate, you must allow me to evacuate on my own."
"Okay." After looking at him for a while, Chu Lingyun nodded.
"Let Lan Chuchu go to Shanghai with me. I promise he won't say anything nonsense."
"That's impossible." As soon as Jiang Tengkong made the request, Chu Lingyun decisively rejected him.
If someone like Lan Chuchu were discovered by the Japanese, he would confess everything without being interrogated.
Besides, Lan Chuchu is Jiang Tengkong's weak point, so how could he let her take her away?
"Then you must treat him well and give me a chance to meet him."
Jiang Tengkong was not disappointed. He knew very well that the other party would not let him go. What he did just now was just an attempt.
"Don't worry, as long as you work hard for us, we won't make things difficult for him and will let him live a good life."
Chu Lingyun nodded. Lan Chuchu would never give it to him, but it would be easy for the Military Intelligence Department to support someone.
From now on, let Lan Chuchu become neighbors with Hayakawa Ping and temporarily live in the Military Intelligence Department.
"I have a train ticket for tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Before that, if you have anything else you want to know, please feel free to ask."
Jiang Tengkong took the initiative to confess. He is a man who knows the times.
"Section Chief."
Chu Lingyun looked at He Nian, who nodded: "I have something to go out for, you ask first."
Henian understood that Chu Lingyun wanted to ask something about Wuhan. Now that there were top secrets, it was not convenient for him to stay here.
"Tell me everything about what happened in Shanghai and Wuhan, and any secrets you know."
After they were alone, Chu Lingyun began to interrogate him. Jiang Tengkong was very honest and told him everything he knew.
He didn't know much about Shanghai, as he had just arrived there and had not come into contact with any useful intelligence, but he knew a lot about Wuhan.
After withdrawing from Wuhan, Yamada Yoichi went to Hangzhou. At this time, he was still the owner of a trading company in the Japanese Concession in Hangzhou, but he had changed his name.
There are also two members of the Banjiu Group who were evacuated by him. They are now in Changsha and continue to do intelligence work.
But Jiang Tengkong didn't know what they did specifically or what their aliases were.
Keiko Chishima succeeded in committing suicide, but Jiang Tengkong did not withdraw the last observer too far away. He was still in Wuhan, but in Wuchang.
The Japanese intelligence department in Wuhan had a high-ranking mole in the Hubei headquarters, who was a colonel staff officer.
A lot of their previous military intelligence was obtained from this mole, and at this time the mole was still in the Hubei camp.
This is good news. I can tell Wang Yuemin and ask him to arrest the man.
Chu Lingyun was not going to take credit for the Wuhan incident. Wang Yuemin was good to him, so it was nothing to give him the credit.
Jiang Tengkong confessed Ishida Koyama, also known as the Cuckoo Group, and said that this was the only intelligence group in Wuhan at present. He did not know that Ishida Koyama had served the Chinese earlier than him.
But the fact that he was able to reveal Ishida Koyama shows that he was telling the truth and did not hide anything.
"Loach, put on a mask and call Yang Jian over."
After recording everything, Chu Lingyun called Loach and asked him to put a mask on Jiang Tengkong to protect him.
It’s a pity that I didn’t think of turning him over at the beginning, otherwise I wouldn’t let the interrogation department intervene, and I wouldn’t let so many people know about his existence.
Now these people can only order them to keep it strictly confidential and create the illusion that Jiang Tengkong was executed.
As to whether the confidentiality level will be increased, it depends on Jiang Tengkong's performance in the future.
If he really showed great value and played a role, these people would be transferred to the rear and would no longer engage in front-line intelligence work to avoid exposing the fact that Jiang Tengkong had been arrested after being captured.
"Team leader, Yang Jian is here."
Loach quickly brought people, and Chu Lingyun took Jiang Tengkong out. Jiang Tengkong already had a mask on his face.
Chu Lingyun asked questions, Jiang Tengkong answered, and Yang Jian painted on the side.
There was more than one person to be drawn. In addition to the Wild Cat who met with Jiang Tengkong today, two intelligence officers from the former Banjiu Group who were withdrawn to Changsha, and the observer under Chishima Keiko were also drawn.
Thanks to Yi Xin Qiuyue for the reward of 2,000 Qidian coins again. I still need 30 monthly tickets to add more chapters. Xiaoyu will go and write, let's work hard together.
