1928: The rise of giant merchants

A large number of agents from the Kuomintang Secret Service blocked the lobby of Ye Mansion. Dai Li, the leader, looked calm. He looked at a group of big men in black who were wearing weapons and had the same bad expressions. He said calmly: "The law prohibiting guns in public concessions is Doesn’t it work for Ye Gongguan?”

The group of spies behind him came with great momentum, but after seeing the heavy firepower of the security personnel in Ye Mansion, they all acted like turtles and hid behind Dai Li.

"Dai Li, don't talk to me about these things. If you want to arrest my father, just step over my body. Do you know how to kill me?" Ye Hao is not afraid of these spies.

In the past four years, with the financial support of Ye's Investment, Ye's Security and Ye's Sports have spread their branches across the country, selecting batches after batches of people from the bottom and former gangs who are clean and capable in both literature and martial arts. New employees.

The best among them will be sent to the tax inspection corps for further studies. In the end, they will either stay in the corps as officers or come out to lead new people.

In four years, the total number of employees in the two companies has exceeded 10,000. This is the number of elites accumulated by Ye Hao after he has restrained himself a lot and often eliminated unqualified employees.

On a one-on-one basis, the formal employees of the two companies are fully qualified as members of the Kuomintang army, and their weapons and equipment are more advanced and their organization is more orderly.

"Ye Hao, are you planning to openly disobey the party's orders?" Dai Li responded to him coldly, looking around the living room again, "Believe it or not, I will arrest you for treason right away!"

"If you have the ability, just give it a try! If you can take my father out of Ye Mansion today, I, Ye Hao, will take your surname!"

Ye Hao reached for the gun in his waist. Seeing that the conflict was inevitable, the lazy voice of a plump mature woman suddenly came from the second floor.

"Hey, Director Dai, did you get the approval or handwriting from your party leader to come to Ye Mansion to arrest my father early in the morning?"

With the support of Bai Xiuzhu, the principal's wife wore light gauze pajamas and walked down to the second floor step by step.

Behind her, Ye Yuqiao and Li Shuzhen also walked down slowly. Ye Yuqiao looked at Dai Li coldly and said calmly: "Director Dai, what crime have I committed that deserves you to bring so many people and arrest me personally?"

"Madam, why are you here?" Dai Li showed just the right amount of panic on his face. Of course, he already knew this.

The principal's wife was invited to stay at Ye Mansion. This was personally approved by the principal. As the principal's number one confidant, of course he knew all about it.

The reason for arresting Ye Yuqiao is also very simple. He was suspected of organizing and participating in the recent bombing that killed the Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Army in China. The riot also injured a group of senior Japanese officials, including Aoi Shigemitsu.

The incident happened in the Shanghai Concession, under Dai Li's nose. Now the Japanese are all over the city arresting the Peninsular people and the Chinese people involved behind the scenes. The city is in a turmoil. Dai Li, who has lost face, has no choice but to join in. and.

The Japanese Embassy has sternly requested the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to give a reply as soon as possible.

The new mayor Wu Tiecheng has one head and two heads. Under pressure from all levels, he is the biggest scapegoat.

No wonder after the Battle of Songhu, the principal did not rush to transfer one of his confidants Zhang Qun back, but continued to let him hold this position. This was to wait for him to take the blame after he was done, and then reinstate Zhang Qun to his post!

However, although this matter is big, the opinions within the Kuomintang Party are relatively unified on this matter, and they all believe that this is a good thing.

Because Shirakawa Yoshinori and others were killed and injured, coupled with international pressure, the Japanese had to suspend the invasion of Shanghai and signed an armistice agreement.

Originally worried that the war would harm Jinling, the principal led a group of senior Kuomintang officials to issue a declaration to move the capital to Los Angeles, and the operation to move the capital had already begun!

In order to give the Japanese a clear explanation this time, and because he had lost face, Dai Li deliberately chose this time to come and arrest people.

"Okay, okay, stop pretending. People have been here, and Boss Ye has seen his face. Do you want someone to tell you personally that this matter has nothing to do with him?" The principal's wife waved her hand and said impatiently. .

She naturally knew that Dai Li was here to show off his power, and she also knew that she had to give him the step herself.

Dai Li's meaning is very clear. Our Secret Service knows very well that you planned this matter, but it is a good thing, so I won't embarrass you.

But I would like to remind you that all movements in Shanghai cannot escape the eyes of the Secret Service. If there is really any connection with underground organizations, we can still come to arrest you.

To ask us to leave, at least someone at the level of the principal's wife will need to intercede for you!

Dai Li's small and roundabout thoughts are quite similar to those of the principal who is petty and thoughtful.

The principal tacitly allowed Dai Li to come and show off his power to the Ye family, and also secretly expressed his dissatisfaction with Ye Luo going to Tianjin City alone to cause trouble.

His desire for control is terrifying, especially when Ye's investment is getting stronger year by year, he is even more afraid of Ye Luo.

"Since Madam has said so, let's take our leave first." Dai Li smiled and clasped his fists, then turned back to Ye Hao and smiled sadly, "Young Master, you are hoarding a large amount of arms in the public concession and gathering people to train troops. , I will report it to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, and I hope you can give a reasonable explanation.”

"It's better to leave without seeing him off!" Ye Hao didn't bother to argue with him, and directly extended his hand to let people see him off.

Dai Li is not angry either. When Ye Luo is away, only half of the Ye family are worthy of his attention, one is Ye Yuqiao, and the other half is Bai Xiuzhu.

That's all.

A group of spies left Ye Mansion in great commotion, making a big fuss and making it known to everyone.

After they left, the principal's wife snorted coldly, touched Bai Xiuzhu's hand and said: "Xiuzhu sister, don't worry, I will talk to Zhongzheng about this matter and let him give you a good explanation. What are you doing? How can you come here to arrest people like this?"

"Thank you, sister~" Bai Xiuzhu pretended to be a little white rabbit in front of the principal's wife, pitiful and touching, as if she had turned back into the willful and capricious young lady of the past.

The principal's wife liked this. Compared with Xiao Aqiao and Lin Ruxian, who had a strong smell of worldly and similar personalities to her, she liked Bai Xiuzhu more.

As for Meng Xiaodong, Hu Die, Ruan Lingyu and other concubines, she was too lazy to look at them.

"Alas, when A Luo comes back, I must teach him a lesson. He is away from home all day, and his wife has been pregnant for more than three years, and he is not in a hurry?" The principal's wife looked at Bai Xiuzhu's flat belly and felt a sense of sympathy.

If it weren't for the fact that most other women were pregnant, she would have suspected that Ye Luo and the principal had similar problems.

But now seeing that Ye Zhuohua and the other four little ones are smart and cute, and obviously inherited his strong genes, the principal's wife is envious.

I wish I could have such a child! (End of this chapter)
