Lost and Spy

Chapter 2072 The reversal is too fast
Some things have been completely out of Meng Shaoyuan's control.

He's just a spy.

Assassinating Ritt and tracking traitors are his forte.

But famine?

This is beyond his scope.

Once the authority is exceeded, what will be the consequences?Meng Shaoyuan was very clear in his heart.

The only thing he could do was try his best to comfort Xiang Caigui, saying that if he found an opportunity, he would definitely respond to the higher authorities.

But he knew very well in his heart that this was just comfort.

Respond upwards?
To whom?

Dai Li can't even intervene in such a matter.

However, Meng Shaoyuan never dreamed that his opportunity would come soon.

In the morning, as soon as I arrived at the unit for work, a phone call arrived.

Moreover, it was a direct call from the chairman's attendant.

Order Meng Shaoyuan to report to the committee within 45 minutes.

The chairman wants to meet himself personally?

Startled, Meng Shaoyuan got up quickly and asked Li Zhifeng to drive him to the presidential palace.

As soon as I entered, I waited there for about ten minutes before being received by the chairman of the committee.

"Principal, the students are ordered to arrive!" Meng Shaoyuan stood at attention.

"Shaoyuan." The chairman looked a little tired: "You solved the assassination case very well, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work, that's the job of the students." Meng Shaoyuan said hastily.

The chairman seemed to be very casual and asked: "Until now, you have not been rewarded for your merits. Do you have any resentment in your heart?"

"Students don't dare, students do things for the principal, how dare they ask for rewards?" Meng Shaoyuan murmured in his heart, could it be that the chairman of the committee called him for this: "Besides, the students understand in their hearts that the principal does not give rewards. Maximum protection for students.”

The chairman smiled slightly.

After all, he is still smart, and he can see at a glance why he didn't give him a reward: "Although you haven't been rewarded, but if you have any personal requests, you can raise them, and if they can be resolved, I will help you solve them."

Meng Shaoyuan's heart moved: "Students have something to do, but it's not a personal matter."

"Oh, speak out and listen."

Meng Shaoyuan boldly said: "The housekeeper of the students recently came from his hometown. He is from Xinxiang, Henan. The great famine in Henan is full of victims, and it is still spreading. I'm afraid it won't last until winter."

The chairman's friendly face just now became a little gloomy: "I'm afraid it's an exaggeration. I also asked that Henan's military and government are operating normally, and I haven't heard of any famine. I think your fellow housekeeper is nothing more than an idler. , I heard that you are prosperous and rich, and you are just using the name of the famine to get some money to spend."

It stands to reason that Meng Shaoyuan is a smart person, so he should stop talking after hearing these words, but after all, this involves the lives and deaths of millions of people, even if he loses his official position because of this, Meng Shaoyuan doesn't care anymore:

"Principal, the students are bold. Since ancient times, Henan has experienced a famine for ten years. This year, there is no rain in the spring. The wheat harvest is less than [-]% of the previous year. According to past experience, this is a sign of famine.

Since the beginning of summer, there is still no rain in Henan, and there is no hope for autumn harvest.After a severe drought, locust plagues must follow. Henan has been in a catastrophe this year, and there is no possibility of recovery.

The students were sentenced to death and risked their lives to speak out. Henan officials did not dare to report disasters, simply because of the "confirmation" law.Those who falsely report the famine will be severely punished, and those who have contributed to grain requisition will be rewarded heavily.For one's own selfishness, regardless of millions of people, no one is loyal to the emperor and patriotic! "

"Could it be that among so many officials in the country, you are the only one who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic?" the chairman suddenly said in a cold tone.

Meng Shaoyuan was startled, and quickly kept silent.

Going on, it's not that I lost my official position, I'm afraid I might even lose my head.

"It's ridiculous that you, the director of the Military Control Bureau, took care of the victims' affairs!"

But the chairman became more and more angry: "You have heard some one-sided words from the housekeeper and fellow villager, and you have said that Henan officials are worthless. You can kill your heart and kill you!"

Sweat came out from Meng Shaoyuan's back again.

Since ancient times, being with a king is like being with a tiger.

"You can just do your job well, why meddle in so many nosy things?" The chairman's tone slowed down a little: "Okay, since you like to meddle in your own business, then I will let you meddle. Someone told me The famine in Henan is the reporter from the Ta Kung Pao. I don’t believe it, so you go to Henan and investigate the disaster situation in person!”

what?
This reversal is too fast.

Besides, I am a secret agent, what does it have to do with me to investigate the disaster situation?

"Why, let you go, don't you dare?"

"No, Headmaster."

Meng Shaoyuan interjected: "The principal asked the students to go, and the students guessed that it might not be as simple as simply investigating the disaster, right?"

"Dai Li told me that you are as smart as a monkey, which is absolutely true."

There was a smile on the chairman's face, but then he said seriously: "That's right, you don't need to investigate the disaster situation, you are going this time, just to investigate along the way, I have another task for you.

The war in Henan was tense. Yan Guanyu, the commander of the Puppet Second Army, was originally a student of mine in Huangpu, but later he rebelled and lost his dignity to the abuse. I thought he could win over, so I sent people to lobby for a whole year, and finally saw results.

Yan Guanyu made some requests, one of which was to appease the family members and subordinates with 2000 taels of gold, and I agreed.Let the Ministry of Finance try to prepare 2000 taels of gold and send personnel to bring them.

However, the member carried a huge amount of gold with his entourage, and after arriving in Henan, he disappeared secretly. "

Good guy.

Meng Shaoyuan gasped.

2000 taels of gold?
This is a huge sum of money in any era.

"This is a secret transaction, and it must not be leaked."

The chairman's face was gloomy: "Otherwise, if the uprising of the Puppet Second Army is delayed, the combat plan of the entire Henan theater will be cracked. We have no way to conduct a comprehensive investigation, we can only conduct it secretly."

Well, here's a reason.

The second reason is that an important government official disappeared with 2000 taels of gold. If it spread, it would be a scandal, which would be used by people with ulterior motives immediately.

"Principal, the students are willing to go to Henan to investigate this case." Meng Shaoyuan straightened his body and said.

"I mean, you go too." The chairman nodded slightly: "You are shrewd in handling affairs and have strong ability to solve cases. I have already told him about Dai Li's place in advance.

The person carrying the gold is Tang Hewen, a section chief of the Ministry of Finance. This person is shrewd and reliable.But this time he went to Zhengzhou first, and later, while performing a mission, he disappeared.A total of seven people went with him.

We must find them, we must see people in life, we must see corpses in death, and people cannot disappear without reason.Also, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential, and you must not say anything about it. You are my student, so you must solve this case! "

(Hmph, don't you believe me? Say I won't break out? You underestimated me, and your self-esteem was hurt. The spider has been fighting hard for the past few days, and it is king every day... No, code words, I proudly announce:
