Meng Shaoyuan did not go to the work unit immediately, but went to buy some things first, and then went straight to the Ministry of Finance.
When I arrived at the National Government Office Building, I found the Ministry of Finance, reported my name, and asked to see Kong Xiangxi, Minister of Finance and President of the Central Bank.
His name, Meng Shaoyuan, was so famous that it was so popular.
But once we get to the Ministry of Finance, it doesn't work very well.
The secretary asked coldly:
"Do you have an appointment?"
"It came in a hurry, no."
"Minister Kong is busy with official duties and won't be here today. Please make an appointment by phone next time and come back."
"Can you please inform me that I am Meng Shaoyuan."
"I don't care who you are, rules are rules. When the time comes, Minister Kong will be blamed. Will you help me take the blame?"
Their.
When you were in Chongqing, you didn't have such a big air? I see you when you meet.
Why are you here in Chongqing now?
There is no way, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door.
Meng Shaoyuan took out ten dollars from his pocket:
"Please help me see if this money is real or fake? We country people have never seen U.S. dollars."
The secretary picked it up and looked at it: "Well, really."
"Oh, it's true. If you keep it, I don't know how to use it."
In Chongqing, with the depreciation of the legal currency, gold bars in US dollars and British pounds have become real hard currency.
A smile finally appeared on the secretary's face: "Just wait, I'll see when Minister Kong is free today."
"For your trouble."
It’s not easy to get along in Chongqing.
When in Shanghai, when did this kind of thing happen?
After waiting, it was almost noon.
Finally, I saw the secretary coming out:
"Meng Shaoyuan!"
"exist."
"Minister Kong wants you to see him as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you, thank you very much."
…
Meng Shaoyuan finally met Kong Xiangxi.
Kong Xiangxi was instructing his chief secretary not to see anyone or answer any phone calls within an hour.
Seeing Meng Shaoyuan come in, he waved his hand and asked the chief secretary to go out: "Shao Yuan!"
"Minister Kong!"
"How long has it been since we last met? Sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
Kong Xiangxi sighed with emotion: "I am in Chongqing, and your name Meng Shaoyuan is always in my ears. You are in Shanghai, thank you for your hard work."
It was extremely difficult for Kong Xiangxi to say the words "Thank you for your hard work".
"Minister Kong, that is Shao Yuan's job."
"Well, let's not say any more polite words." Kong Xiangxi said with a smile: "I heard that you were back early this morning, and I was thinking about when to meet you. I didn't expect you to come so soon."
Meng Shaoyuan put down the things he just bought in the morning: "Minister Kong, I was in a hurry when I retreated, so I didn't bring any local specialties. When I came here today, I bought some."
Forget about other things, but when Kong Xiangxi took a look, he saw that they were actually two bottles of Shanxi mature vinegar.
Kong Xiangxi really didn't think much of the farewell. What good things had he not seen?
But he is from Shanxi. When he saw Lao Chenjiu, he immediately smiled and said: "Shaoyuan, you are still good at giving gifts. I will accept this gift."
Then he said: "When you were in Nanjing, you, Meng Shaoyuan, always went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and you still bring gifts today? Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Debt required!"
"What, a debt?" Kong Xiangxi was startled: "When did I owe you money?"
Meng Shaopuan said confidently: "Minister Kong, my agent died, and the pension cannot be approved for several months. The orphans and widows are waiting eagerly. Do you think this is money owed to us by your Ministry of Finance?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Xiangxi was dumbfounded: "Shaoyuan, at the end of every year, your military commander will report the budget for the next year to us, and then we will allocate funds according to the amount after approval.
The pension is divided into two parts. Those spies without military status will be dealt with by your military command bureau. Those with military ranks will be reported to the state finance department and issued after approval by relevant departments.
Do you think, we are in a fierce war with Japan, how many people will die every day? The list of approving departments is piled up in a small mountain. They have to be sorted according to their official titles, don’t you think? "
"What do you mean, we are all just a bunch of little spies, so it doesn't matter if we delay it for a while?" Meng Shaoyuan's voice rose a little: "Then if we co-authored it, they all died in vain?
I admit that the fallen soldiers on the front line are more important, they are all good. But my brothers cannot sacrifice in vain. I don’t ask you to come. "
"I said Meng Shaoyuan, this matter is not your responsibility." Kong Xiangxi frowned: "You have no one in the military command, do you have to step in for such a small matter?"
"It seems like a small thing to you, but it's a big deal to us." Meng Shaoyuan didn't mince words: "I thought a lot before coming here, but what haven't you heard? What kind of thing? Have you ever seen anyone? As for me, I won’t hide it.
As the old saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to do, so I have to look for you. Think about it, I have been in Shanghai all this time, and I am finally back this time. If I don’t do some nice things, those brothers may not obey me. ah.
If I solve the pension problem, you see, everyone has to support me, so if I don't look for you, who should I look for? "
Meng Shaoyuan had really touched Kong Xiangxi's temper.
You talk to him in tears and talk about truth, but others don't even bother to listen.
But if you ask him to have a relationship with him, it's completely different.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Kong Xiangxi showed a smile on his face: "Shaoyuan, you are such a talker, you can make dead people live. You have talked to this point, what else can I do? OK? , I will help you this time to establish your prestige.
Just wait after you go back. In just a few days, the military pension will be settled first. "
"Thank you, Minister Kong, thank you!" Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me." Kong Xiangxi suddenly changed the topic: "Let me ask you something, were you the one who shot Han Zhengda and his wife to death in Shanghai?"
Meng Shaoyuan's heart sank.
What was supposed to come finally came.
Those damn account books.
Mao Wanli took a box of ledgers back to Chongqing.
The scene was then destroyed.
Meng Shaoyuan knew very well that there was only one other person besides himself who knew the secrets in those account books.
That is yourself!
I even have a copy in my hand.
But Meng Shaoyuan would never reveal this secret under any circumstances.
This is a ledger that can control many important people, and it is also a ledger that can kill you anytime, anywhere!
Meng Shaoyuan did not expect that Kong Xiangxi would ask this question directly.
He calmed down and said, "Yes, I received the order from Director Dai to arrest the fugitive Han Zhengda and his wife. My people discovered their traces, and when they were about to arrest them, they were discovered by the other party, and the two sides immediately started a fight.
During the fierce battle, Han Zhengda and his wife were shot dead, one of my men was injured, and another died. All of this was witnessed by Inspector Mao Wanli.
Later, due to the suspect's arson, the scene was burned to the ground! "
