Lost and Spy

Chapter 464 Nanjing Merchant
"Mr. Meng."

"Mr. Meng."

All the businessmen stood up one after another.

As the president of the Nanjing Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Zeng Jianping was a little surprised, how could there be some bloodstains on the face of Chief Meng?
It looks like it was caught by a woman?

Which woman is so bold that she dares to attack a big spy?

Then there are good fruits to eat?

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help touching the blood on his face, Zhu Yanni, this little girl is really crazy, she wakes up early in the morning and finds herself sleeping next to her, what a ruthless attack she is.

But in the end, wasn't he conquered by himself?

It's over, it's over, the military governs the family law, and any relationship between male spies and female spies is strictly prohibited, otherwise the family law will serve, and the worst thing is to shoot them directly.

At that time, the picture was cool for a while.

I don't know if this matter is exposed, Dai Li will forgive himself if he finds out.

Forget it, I don't want to.

Meng Shaoyuan made up his mind: "Everyone, I was entrusted by the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and Industry to take the risk of returning to Nanjing in order to rescue all of you and your family members."

"Mr. Meng, thank you very much, thank you very much." Zeng Jianping said gratefully: "Nanjing is now heavily blocked, only allowed to enter, not allowed to leave. I regret that I refused to listen to the persuasion and left Nanjing earlier. I originally thought that the Japanese would occupy Shanghai. , and will not further seek Nanjing, never thought that it is too late to regret now."

"Nanjing, it's not easy to leave." Meng Shaoyuan asked, "How many people do you have?"

"Together with 310 family members, big and small."

Good guy, that's a lot.

Meng Shaoyuan sighed a long time: "Originally, Shanghai gave me 30 U.S. dollars. I know it was jointly funded by businessmen from Shanghai and Nanjing. Originally, where did you think the money would go? But now is an extraordinary time. Next Needless to say, this time I mobilized a British cargo ship, the 'Cambria Breaker', which is the fastest ship in the world.

Captain Schiller, who sent the cargo from London to Shanghai, was about to return to China immediately. I begged him to come to Nanjing with me to save people, but he refused, saying that this was a matter between China and Japan. The British It is inconvenient to participate.If it is not done well, it will cause conflicts between Britain and Japan; but I understand the greatness of the country and state the significance of the world's anti-Japanese war..."

A group of businessmen looked at each other in dismay.

I understand the righteousness of the country, but what does "anti-government" mean?

After all, Zeng Jianping is the president, he is well-informed, and his brain turns quickly: "Then I think he is a vicious person, or the common enemy of China and Britain. If Mr. Meng can persuade Mr. Schiller, he must It took a lot of thought and money.”

"Money, if you don't bring it with you, you won't take it with you if you die." Meng Shaoyuan said righteously, "What's the matter with throwing my head and blood to save you all? Although Schiller said it was 15 U.S. dollars, it is said that he will drive all the way to Chongqing." , an additional [-] US dollars was added, but I agreed without hesitation..."

Fortunately, only $20 was spent.

"I've always regarded money as dung, and I'm used to being indifferent to fame and fortune." Meng Shaoyuan acted like an outsider: "What is really hateful is those British people. When they know that there are two or three hundred people going to board the ship, they will join them again." $[-] in food and accommodation expenses... Also, they said that once they met Japanese, they would have to take great risks, and extorted another $[-] from me..."

So far, 30 US dollars has been clearly arranged by him, and there is not a cent left.

Zeng Jianping wanted to be grateful, but he never expected that Meng Shaoyuan would go on to say: "It's nothing if not. I thought, I must ensure everyone's safety, so what should I do? So I asked my British friend to help me a lot. This person is also well-known, Daniel, the former police chief of the Shanghai Public Concession Industry Bureau, I wonder if you have heard of it?"

"I know, I know." Zeng Jianping said hastily: "I went to Shanghai the year before last, and I had a meal with Mr. Daniel. This guy is good, but he likes money and is very greedy."

Huh, you know?
That's easy.

Meng Shaoyuan sighed again: "Yeah, Daniel agreed to help me, but if you open your mouth, do you know how much it will cost? 20 US dollars!"

Zeng Jianping had no doubt of fraud.

He knew Daniel and had dealings with him. Back then, a batch of his goods was seized in Shanghai, and he asked someone to ask Daniel for help. Daniel opened his mouth and demanded a large sum of money.

Sending people out of Nanjing right now is such an important matter, how can there be no reason for Daniel not to ruthlessly kill him?But if these 310 six people are really given away, 20 US dollars is worth it!
"Although I am a government official, our military command is not an oil and water unit. I am upright and have a clean sleeve. Where can I have money?" What does it matter if someone goes bankrupt? So I sold my house in Shanghai and borrowed a large amount of usury..."

"Mr. Meng must not." Zeng Jianping said in a hurry: "Mr. Meng has done his best for us. How can it be reasonable for Mr. Meng to sell the house and bear all the debts? Although the 20 U.S. dollars is a huge sum of money, we are waiting for you." I have been in business for a long time, and I have some family property, so this little money can still be collected for Chief Meng."

Meng Shaoyuan's nonsense with them was really not to get another sum of money. He wanted these businessmen to know how difficult it is to evacuate them from Nanjing, so that they can appreciate his kindness and use it for him in the future.

But he didn't think about it, he said so, can these businessmen let him pay the money himself?

When Meng Shaoyuan figured it out, it was too late.

One was repeatedly asking for no, the other was repeatedly asking for it, which made her blush and thick neck later on, I don't know, I thought the two were going to fight?
In the end, Meng Shaoyuan still couldn't hold back Zeng Jianping, and agreed to his subordinates to "advance" the money.

Zeng Jianping asked a group of businessmen what they thought, and they all only wanted to leave Nanjing as soon as possible. Money or not was of secondary importance, so they shared the money equally according to their families and the number of people they brought.

During the period of the Republic of China, it was true that Shanghai was the financial center of the country, but Nanjing was the capital, and it was connected to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and AH. Its business was prosperous, and it had just experienced a golden age.

Although hundreds of thousands of dollars is a huge sum of money, it can be shared equally by all businessmen, and everyone can afford it.Some people even began to think, in this case, why not bring their old maids and servants with them, after all, they have been by their side for a long time, and they are used to it, so when they arrive in Sichuan, they may not be able to find such satisfactory ones.

After apportioning it, the money is really not much.

But this meant something completely different to Meng Shaoyuan.

This is like the [-] million compatriots in the country. If each of them pays one dollar, anyone can afford it, but if the [-] million yuan is given to one person, then that person will become prosperous in an instant.

Meng Shaoyuan is this person.

ashamed, ashamed.

From the Lixing Society to the military command, the thick-skinned person in the Chinese spy organization would actually feel ashamed, which is really rare.

To collect money from people, and to eliminate disasters with people, professional ethics must be mentioned.

At that time, Meng Shaoyuan made an appointment with everyone on the evacuation time, gave instructions on the meeting place, and repeatedly told them to keep it secret.

Zeng Jianping checked the time and told everyone to go back and get ready.

I left Meng Shaoyuan alone, asked someone to change the tea, and chatted there for a while: "Mr. Meng has worked so hard for our affairs, and I don't know how to repay him in the future. It's just that I have one more thing to ask."

"President Zeng, please tell me."

Zeng Jianping hesitated for a moment: "As for me, besides doing business, I don't have any other hobbies. I like to collect some antique calligraphy and paintings. I have collected a lot of rare treasures these years. A few days ago, I was busy evacuating the factory machines. I can't take care of the family anymore, and when I want to evacuate, it's too late.

I still have to thank Chief Meng for his great kindness and virtue, which allowed us to escape from danger.I just want to ask Chief Meng, if I pack all these antique calligraphy and paintings on board, is it feasible?To tell you the truth, if I stay in Nanjing, if the city breaks down and falls into the hands of the Japanese, good things will be ruined, I really can't bear it. "

This is about to run for your life. Are you still thinking about antique calligraphy and paintings?
Meng Shaoyuan asked, "How many?"

"It has been carefully packed." Zeng Jianping cheered up: "There are 28 boxes in total."

My god, so much?
How many good things has Zeng Jianping collected over the years?
Meng Shaoyuan smiled wryly and shook his head: "Too many, I'm afraid it won't work. More than 300 people are beyond my imagination. The boat is so big. One more box will occupy more space. President Zeng, going to Chongqing this time will not only It is dangerous and the journey is far away. Even if the captain takes care of it, it will be very difficult to sail all the way.

I think you understand the significance of having an extra space.Also, water transportation is not as easy as air transportation and land transportation, and it is easy to be affected by moisture. What if President Zeng's treasure is damaged?What's more, I said it's just in case, if it is intercepted by the Japanese, the gain will outweigh the loss. In my opinion, let's find a place to hide these things. "

Zeng Jianping was a little disappointed.

But this is also expected, he is just trying his luck with some hope.

"Mr. Meng, I can only rely on you for my treasures."

"Huh? Please?"

"Yes, please."

Zeng Jianping said what was in his heart: "Mr. Meng is a heroic and courageous man, and he is absolutely trustworthy in character. Moreover, Mr. Meng is in an important position, so it is absolutely no problem to hide a few boxes. If I wait until the victory of the War of Resistance against these 28 boxes, I will still have them." If I can return to Nanjing alive, Chief Meng only needs to pay me twenty mouthfuls, and the remaining eight mouthfuls will be considered as reward. If I don’t survive that day, all these treasures will belong to Chief Meng!”

Speechless, really only God knows.

In this world, there are still people who say that Meng Shaoyuan's character is trustworthy?
