Chapter 439.

“Old brother Gao, do we really want to do this?”

“Old Tao, are you backtracking and don’t want to leave …… ” Gao Qichang cast a sidelong glance at Tao Junfeng, a coldness in his eyes.

“No, we’ll just leave, why bother?”

“If we don’t go back with the secret contract, do you think, just based on this experience of ours, what kind of evaluation will be given to us in the history books of later generations?” Gao Qichang gave a cold stare.

Tao Junfeng said nervously, “This is too dangerous, I’ve never done anything like this before.”

“You look out for me, I’ll just shoot.” Gao Qichang pulled out a miniature camera and started fiddling with it, “We’re too tight, you don’t nag, hurry to the door and watch.”

Tao Junfeng couldn’t, but could only tiptoe over, bowing in the doorway, listening to the movement that might come from outside.

The secret contract had long been finalized.

But signing it was very difficult.

This word is not so good to sign, who knows that this is a contract to sell the country, once signed his name, certainly not possible for the rest of his life, the stench of ten thousand years absolutely did not run, did not see that surrendered to the Qing dynasty, the Hong Governor, the last is not also included in the two ministers in it? This history book may not be a good name to stay.

Gao Qichang and Tao Junfeng naturally do not want to sign, although Wang did not force them to sign, but the pressure is given to.

You two do not sign this word is how it is? Are you planning to have another day and a position on Chiang’s side?

Gao Qichang has always been dissatisfied with many of the terms of the secret treaty, coupled with the fact that he was removed as a member of the core negotiation, he was upset and refused to sign, had his own reasons.

Tao Junfeng, just a pencil, he is only responsible for explaining the meaning of these secret treaty don’t after, counting is a secretary, also have no right to negotiate the decision, wang need to sign the secret treaty on the more a person, this secret treaty to reach the weight of the heavier.

But Wang himself does not sign.

So far, only Zhou Fuhai and Mei Siping have signed the secret treaty, and Ding Mochun and Lin Shiqun are not qualified to sign it.

As the New Year approaches, the Japanese are pressing hard, and Wang is making a last-ditch effort.

Regardless of whether it is the pressure or consultation, is as soon as possible want to let this side of the personnel involved in the negotiations are signed, and the Japanese side to reach an agreement.

Internal opinions must be unified.

Otherwise it will not be easy to do things in the future.

Wang’s purpose is very clear, to sell the country, have to guys together, embracing, do not think of escaping responsibility, even if it is the history of blame, but also have to be borne together, want me to carry a person, no way.

On the 28th day of the consultation was fruitless.

Tao Junfeng brought out the miniature camera and film.

Tao Junfeng returned home, the camera together with the film to his wife, the next day early in the morning, his wife took the opportunity to go out to buy food, will be passed to Wu Jianfeng.

Wu Jianfeng immediately sent the stuff through Shen Mo to the Old Miao grocery store.

When Cheng Mo got the news, he rushed to the grocery store, picked up the camera and film, found a reason to take a temporary two-hour vacation, and returned to his sister’s home on Seymour Road.

There was a darkroom here, so if you wanted to wash and print out the film, you had to use the darkroom, and it was very troublesome to wash and print this kind of microfilm, so if you were not careful, once it was exposed, then all the efforts that you had risked before were all for nothing.

Therefore, Cheng Mo had to be very careful, and the printing solution was poisonous, and people could not stay in the darkroom for too long.

After a long time, he finally developed the content of the microfilm, which was the secret treaty of betrayal signed by the Japanese.

This has been signed at the end, indicating that this is the finalized version, will not change, at most, just add a few more names in the position of the signed name.

“Sister, don’t tell anyone about me coming over this afternoon.” Cheng Mo gave an explanation and left from Cheng Hua’s side. Although Cheng Hua didn’t know what Cheng Mo was doing, she was also an old love worker and knew the dangers involved, so she naturally answered the request, and also gave a gag order to Little Miss Wu as well.

Can’t leave right away when you get the stuff.

Still have to wait for the boat.

Cheng Mo immediately contacted Wan Molin so that he could start preparing the boat tickets for Gao and Tao to leave.

Wan Molin’s side was naturally prepared, and immediately arranged for people to secretly buy boat tickets to Hong Kong, of course, through hidden channels.

Three days later, that is, on January 2, there was an American ship “President Coolidge” ship from Shanghai to Hong Kong, the departure time is at 9:30 in the morning.

The time was ideal.

Tickets were also bought, and the two were not together.

In these three days, Gao and Tao, as long as they can deal with Wang, do not sign the secret contract, will be able to regain their freedom.

Of course, at the moment, only the two of them can go, Gao’s family is not in Shanghai, do not have to worry about, and will be the first time someone will be moved out, Tao’s family is more troublesome, but there is an evacuation plan arrangement.

If Wang targets Tao’s wife and children, then his political integrity will be criticized, he will not risk his political credibility bankruptcy, this person is quite love feather.

But beware of 76’s nonsense.

It’s a good thing that the Tao family lives in the French Concession, unless No. 76 comes in hard, but the elite sons of the Qing Gang under Wan Molin’s command are no slouches either.

So, if we really do it, it’s not certain who will lose and who will win.

Gao want to sign the secret contract, in fact, Wang does not care, although Gao in the past in Wang cast Japan on the contribution is not small, even he himself is Gao recommended to the Japanese.

But now Gao was marginalized, internal people do not want him to enter the core, if he signed, this so-called “credit” will not be a part of him, then, if the Japanese remembered him, to reward him for his work, is not it to give him a part? High on the secret treaty and many opinions, he did not sign, are not forced.

Tao is different, Tao’s identity is much more important than high, and is a professor and scholar, the theory of everyone, is to do the interpretation of the secret treaty, Wang’s request, he must sign the secret treaty.

In addition to the conversation, there is the promise of a higher position.

But Tao Junfeng did not dare to take this one, a good person back home, occasional wind and cold, fell ill, but also a high fever of forty degrees.

Wang still do not believe, specially sent a doctor over to Tao Junfeng.

Tao is also really sick, half of it is cold, half of it is these days of fear, really scared.

People are seriously ill lying at home, can not let people get up to sign, right? This is too inhumane.

After the injection, medicine, fever after Tao Junfeng on New Year’s Day also dragged the sick body to go to Yuyuan Road, 1136 lane Wang public house to Wang’s congratulations on the New Year.

Because the body really can not withstand, Wang did not leave him to eat in the public house, arranged for people to send him home to recuperate.

As for the matter of the signing of the secret treaty, naturally, he was embarrassed to mention it.

Early the next morning, Tao Junfeng felt better and asked his wife to make a phone call to Wang’s public house, saying he wanted to go to work.

Naturally, Wang told him to recuperate at home and not to work with his illness.

But at eight o’clock or so, the Tao family received a phone call, a friend from when he was teaching at Peking University was at the International Hotel, and learned that he was in Shanghai, and asked him to come over for a get-together, and he couldn’t resist, so he had to ask for a car, and No. 76 sent two of his elite secret agents along for protection.
