There are those traitors who are troubled.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the God of Wealth was welcomed. On this day, Meng Shaoyuan worked non-stop and "visited" seven traitors one after another. He threatened and intimidated the traitors, and the prices they all offered were two hundred thousand dollars.
He also knew they couldn't take it out.
But that is not important. What is important is to make these traitors bankrupt and let them know that to be a traitor, you must have the consciousness to be a traitor.
The Japanese masters behind them could not protect them.
In this big Shanghai, it is he, Meng Shaoyuan, who has the final say.
I was busy until nightfall.
Ye Rong had been with Meng Shaoyuan for a day and seemed a little tired.
But still in high spirits.
Today, at least, she saw a different way of working.
Meng Shaoyuan was also a little tired. He looked at the time and sent Ye Rong back to where he lived.
The surrounding environment is pretty good.
Next door is a bar owned by Jews, with the flattering words "Japanese Welcome" prominently written on the door.
A fat Jewish woman was soliciting business at the door.
Everything is for survival.
Driving the car back to the unit, I saw Mrs. Rose's car parked outside.
What happened again?
As soon as he walked in, Butler Qiu, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Meng, our wife has invited you. I have been waiting here for you for more than two hours..."
…
In Qiangwei Mansion, Cai Xuefei was chatting with a thin and elegant middle-aged man wearing round glasses.
As soon as she saw Meng Shaoyuan come in, Cai Xuefei smiled and asked him to sit down: "Mr. Li Jin, this is Boss Meng Shaoyuan."
"Hello, Boss Meng." Li Jin greeted politely.
"Shaoyuan, this is Mr. Li Jin, the editor-in-chief of 'Liaoyuan' magazine."
Li Jin?
Isn't he the great writer who wrote the famous trilogy?
Meng Shaoyuan still respected these people very much.
"Boss Meng," Li Jin said, "The films you showed at the Grand Guangming Cinema exposed the ugly face of Japan and presented the truth to the public. I admire them very much."
Are you coming to interview me?
But Meng Shaoyuan soon realized that he had thought too much.
"Shaoyuan, that's what happened." Cai Xuefei said it out: "After the fall of Shanghai, the Nationalist Government moved westward, and some people in the literary and art circles also left Shanghai and went northward. But including Mr. Li Jin, there are still many people They did not leave, they felt that fighting on the isolated island in the Shanghai Public Concession was no less than fighting on the front line, so they decided to stay and use their pens to fight against the Japanese!"
Well, the power of a pen is sometimes as powerful as an army.
"Recently, we received a telegram." Li Jin interfaced: "In March, the 'All-China Association of Literary and Art Circles to Resist the Enemies' will be established in Wuhan, and the 'All-China Literary and Art Circles to Resist the Enemies Declaration' will be issued on that day, inviting those of us who are still here People from the literary and artistic circles in Shanghai participated. I think this is a very influential thing, so I discussed it with my colleagues who are still in Shanghai. We must go to Wuhan, but..."
"But it's not easy to leave Shanghai." Meng Shaoyuan quickly understood the other party's intention: "Especially you people in the literary and art circles are more likely to attract the attention of the Japanese side, so you want to ask me to help you leave Shanghai?"
"Yes, yes." Li Jin nodded.
"How many people are there in total?"
"Forty-five people."
Good guy, there are really many people.
That's a good thing, though.
Unite all people from all walks of life who can unite to resist Japan.
"Let's do this, I'll help you find a way." Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a while: "Leaving collectively, the goal is too big, it can easily arouse the alert of the Japanese and cause trouble. I will send you away in batches to ensure that you can participate in the conference on time. "
"Thank you, thank you, Boss Meng, thank you so much." Li Jin said repeatedly.
Cai Xuefei smiled slightly: "I said that if we find Boss Meng, we will definitely be able to find a solution. Mr. Li Jin, you should also talk to Boss Meng about that matter."
Anything else?
"That's right, Boss Meng." Li Jin hesitated: "I have a friend who recently came to Shanghai. He was arrested by the patrol room because he was not familiar with it."
It's a small thing.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "What's the name of your friend? Which arresting house caught him?"
"His name is Guo Junian, and he was arrested by the Jing'an Temple prison."
"Jing'an Temple Prison Prison, Detective Ross's place." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Okay, tomorrow I happen to be going to the Jing'an Temple Prison Prison to do some work. I'll help you release that friend by the way."
"That simple?"
Li Jin was doubtful.
Rescue people from the arresting room, Meng Shaoyuan looked at it lightly and didn't take it to heart at all? Not even asking why the other person was arrested?
"Mr. Li Jin, don't worry." Cai Xuefei saw his worries: "Boss Meng is very capable in Shanghai. It's not as difficult as imagined to save someone from the patrol room."
"Boss Meng, thank you very much."
Li Jin said quickly.
"It's done. If there's nothing else, let's do it." Meng Shaoyuan checked the time and said, "I'm really tired after running all day today. I'll go back and rest first and wait for my letter."
…
Early in the morning, Meng Shaoyuan went to Jing'an Temple to capture the house.
British Inspector Ross is quite good. One is that he is more sympathetic to the Chinese people's plight, and the other is, of course, because of the alliance of interests.
Meng Shaoyuan was familiar with the road and walked straight into Ross's office.
Ross looked like he hadn't slept well yesterday, holding a cup of coffee and yawning profusely.
"Ha, Meng, my friend." As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan, Ross immediately perked up: "I didn't sleep until early in the morning yesterday. I originally wanted to catch up on my sleep in the morning, but when I saw you, I was no longer tired."
"I'm afraid you've seen this." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and patted the leather bag he was carrying.
Then, he took out a thick envelope from his wallet: "It's for this month."
Ross took the envelope with a smile, and it was full of money.
This is a cut of the smuggling profits.
"The whole people participated in the vigorous smuggling campaign."
This is the slogan put forward by Meng Shaoyuan.
Most of the patrol room detectives joined in.
They escorted Meng Shaoyuan's smuggling team to ensure a smooth journey.
In return, Meng Shaoyuan would give them a portion of his smuggling profits every month.
It makes sense that Meng Shaoyuan was so "loved" by the patrolmen in the public concession.
You may not love Meng Shaoyuan, but you cannot help loving his money.
"I'm going to expand the scale even more." Meng Shaoyuan sat down and lit a cigarette: "By the end of March, the scale of smuggling can be at least doubled."
That means you can get more money.
Ross knew very well what this meant: "Meng, no matter what help you need from me, I will not look back. You have to know that it is not just smuggling, but also other aspects. On the Sino-Japanese issue, we have received orders , you are not allowed to express your own opinions, and you are not allowed to take sides, but both myself and Mr. Police Commissioner are very sympathetic to China."
"I know, you are all my friends." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Between friends, everyone earns money and shares benefits. By the way, I still need your help with a little thing."
"You are too kind, my friend, your business is my business."
"Has your arresting room captured a man named Guo Junian?"
"Guo Junian?" Detective Ross frowned: "Ah, yes, there is, and I caught him myself. We conducted a routine inspection on the street, and found some black market drugs in this man's box."
Drug smuggler?
How could a writer like Li Jin have such friends?
"It's not just that." Detective Ross continued: "We took him to the arresting room. Originally, to deal with such smugglers, we confiscated his medicine and locked him up for a few more days. We searched him and found A hotel room key, you know the procedure, we must check it out, but guess what we found in the hotel room?”
"What?"
"arms!"
arms?
Meng Shaoyuan thought for a moment: "Smuggling drugs is highly profitable and dangerous, so it doesn't matter if you carry weapons with you."
"Yes."
Detective Ross smiled mysteriously: "The problem is, not only that, there was a brazier in his room, and a lot of things were burned in it. Judging from the ashes, they should be some documents and the like. Meng, this person's identity seems unclear. It’s simple.”
Meng Shaoyuan thoughtfully said: "Russ, this is the Great Shanghai, where dragons and snakes are mixed, and all forces are intertwined. Everyone wants to make a living in it. As long as it is not a particularly serious matter, turning a blind eye is just a matter of turning a blind eye." ”
"Since you're the one who spoke, there's no problem." Detective Ross smiled, picked up the phone, and explained a few times. Then he hung up the phone: "Okay, your friend will be released in a moment."
"Thank you." Meng Shaoyuan continued: "Also, I will send some people to leave Shanghai in two days. I need to ask you to borrow a few patrol officers to escort them to the ship."
"No problem." Ross agreed readily: "What kind of person?"
"Some people who fight for my country with their pens." Meng Shaoyuan did not hide it: "Sometimes, they are even more important than an army. I must be responsible for sending them safely to Wuhan."
"Writer? You know, I also wanted to be a writer when I was young. I even wrote a book, but unfortunately no publisher was willing to publish it for me."
Meng Shaoyuan stood up with a smile: "When you leave office and return to China, your wallet will be full, and you can completely pay for the publication by yourself. Okay, I picked up my friend and left. I'm so busy, I have to go out for a while. trip."
Detective Ross accompanied him out. The two chatted in the corridor for a while. A patrolman came out with a man: "Detective, I brought the person you want."
Meng Shaoyuan took a photo with this person named "Guo Junian", and both of them had surprised expressions on their faces at the same time, and they seemed to say at the same time:
It's you?
(One more chapter today.)
