Lost and Spy

Chapter 481
The same is true of Meng Shaoyuan's thoughts.

The efforts of Lu Yixuan and Qiu Xingchang only allowed them to gain a firm foothold in Chongqing temporarily.And in order to have further development in the future, it is necessary to contact all the forces that can be contacted.

"Mr. Meng." Qiu Desong glanced at his grandson: "My grandson likes to be active, not quiet. He has no interest in doing business at all, so he even left home quietly for this reason, never to be heard from again. To be honest , we were all very worried, and finally waited until he came back, and asked carefully, only to find out that he finally found something he likes to do."

This is very subtle.

The thing I like to do is nothing more than being a spy.

The Qiu family has been in business for several generations, so they naturally hope to pass it on like this from generation to generation, but who would have thought that in Qiu Xingchang's generation, there would be such a rebellious one.

Originally they were resolutely opposed, but Qiu Xingchang had made up his mind and there was no possibility of turning back.

Coupled with the sudden change in the situation in China, the Qiu family was still a patriotic businessman after all, so they acquiesced in Qiu Xingchang's identity.

"Mr. Meng." Qiu Desong continued there: "We ordinary businessmen don't understand how to do intelligence, but we still understand how to serve the country. I only hope that my grandson can study hard with Mr. Meng, and he will be able to do well in the future." What you do is to live up to the country and my Qiu family, that's all."

"Old Mr. Qiu, you are polite." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "In the autumn of the country's critical survival, all Chinese people have the responsibility to defend the country and fight against the war. After Xingchang graduated from the Hangzhou Police Academy, he followed me directly and worked conscientiously. Especially after returning to Chongqing, I have done things decently, and I think there will still be great prospects for development in the future."

At this time, Shi Xiaoxian spoke in a strong Chongqing dialect for a long time.

Qiu Xingchang told Meng Shaoyuan that Shi Xiaoxian said there that now the country is in chaos, and Chongqing is also in chaos.Their Pao brothers are all locals, and it is their duty to protect the place, but they have no status, and their reputation is not right and wrong when they do things. I also want to ask Meng Shaoyuan to find an opportunity to ask Shangfeng for instructions, and give Chongqing Pao a status so that everyone can concentrate on serving the country in the future. work.

This is the official there.

It's not difficult to give him a name, just report to Dai Li at that time, and just arrange a job for him in the military command.

The question is, how to control Brother Pao in his hands?

Brother Pao is very powerful and has a decisive influence in Sichuan. In the future, no matter what they do, they will not be able to bypass them.But how to use them?
It is impossible for them to be obedient with peace of mind.They will help you do things, but it is absolutely impossible to willingly listen to you, an outsider.

On the way here, I heard from Qiu Xingchang that Leng Kaitai from Chengdu is arrogant and domineering, and Shi Xiaoxian has been guarding against his forces from invading Chongqing.

This may be a point that can be exploited.

"Mr. Meng, I have an unfeeling request. I don't know whether to say it or not." Qiu Desong said.

Is it appropriate to speak?Why do you like to say this?I said I shouldn't say it, so don't say it, you won't be reconciled?
Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan said very politely: "Mr. Qiu, but it's okay to say."

Why is it like in the play?
Qiu Desong cleared his throat and said, "We are all well aware of the current situation, but no one can tell what will happen in the future. But if everyone can help each other and form a tight bond, no matter how big it is I can get through the matter safely. So I take the liberty to let Chief Meng, Quan Zi, and Master Shi follow the example of Taoyuan and marry Jinlan."

Sworn?
Needless to say, Meng Shaoyuan had considered this method before. In this era, sworn worship is the best way to bring people together.This is also the meaning of the seven tigers sworn in by the military command before.

Meng Shaoyuan represented the government, Qiu Shenghe represented the Chongqing business community, and Shi Xiaoxian represented the local forces.

Once the three people swore to become "brothers", it was tantamount to bringing the three parties together, which was very in line with each other's interests.Once something happens, although it is absolutely impossible to live and die together, at least there is a limit to advance and retreat.

In the class like Qiu Shenghe and Shi Xiaoxian, sworn worship is not so casual, it can be done by an individual, it must depend on whether you are worth using.

Benefits are what everyone values ​​most.

Meng Shao was originally an agent of the military command. Although he had a lot of power in his hands, he definitely needed help when he first came to Chongqing.And Qiu Shenghe and Shi Xiaoxian are the best targets to use.

Now, the most respected and respected Qiu Desong took the initiative to propose it, that would be great.

Meng Shaoyuan put on a pretense and pondered for a while: "Mr. Qiu, I am a foreigner. This time I came to Chongqing, I have been taken care of. I am very grateful. Since the old man suggested, there is no reason for Shaoyuan not to agree."

Qiu Shenghe and Shi Xiaoxian were overjoyed when they heard this.

This is tantamount to easily establishing a relationship with the government.

You know, when Liu Xiang was in charge of Sichuan, he had to take care of all aspects, and Liu Xiang was very comforting to such a prominent family as the Qiu family.For Paoge leaders like Shi Xiaoxian, although he trusted Leng Kaitai more, he was still polite to Shi Xiaoxian.

Now with the outbreak of the war, Liu Xiang led the army out of Sichuan to fight against Japan, and after the national government moved its capital to Chongqing, it was tantamount to a reshuffle of the forces in Sichuan.

With the arrival of the national government, where will Sichuan go in the future?Can these local businessmen and Paoge leaders still live a comfortable life in the past?

If there is an "insider" in the government, the situation will be quite different.

"If you want it, if you want it." Shi Xiaoxian said excitedly: "In the future, the three of us brothers will be of one mind, and we will have the final say on Chongqing."

This person is usable, not reusable.

Such thoughts immediately popped up in Meng Shaoyuan's mind.

"Chongqing is what we say"?It's just nonsense, no matter how powerful the power is, once the chairman feels threatened, he will definitely not wait until tomorrow if he says that he will send you to the [-]th level of hell today.

"The chief lord has said it before." Qiu Shenghe said lightly: "We don't want to control Chongqing, it's just for self-protection. The chief rudder is an honest celebrity in Chongqing, I am a hardworking Sichuan businessman, and Chief Meng is An innocent government official. The three of us are sworn brothers, and it is nothing more than working together to serve the government together."

This is the most correct statement.

A smile flashed across Meng Shaoyuan's mouth, and then he said seriously: "Boss Qiu is right. Everyone is dedicated to serving the government and driving the Japanese pirates out of China as soon as possible. I have no objection to sworn vows, but I am a government official after all. Sworn vows should not be made with great fanfare." , the form doesn’t have to be too fancy, as long as everyone knows that they are brothers, that’s fine.”

Shi Xiaoxian doesn't think so, sworn brotherhood is a big deal, it has to be incensed, killed a chicken, drank the blood wine and so on.Or would it be too casual?
But Qiu Desong was well aware of Meng Shaoyuan's concerns: "Mr. Meng said that those red tapes will be waived during the extraordinary period. I think, as for me, I will be a middleman. The three of you are here, have a drink together, put down the glass, and the future will be Brother."

Older gingers are more spicy.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't want to be solemnly married, at least on the surface, the Qiu family was a family of merchants.What about Shi Xiaoxian?Brother Pao leader, if I really exchange posts with him, and make a serious obeisance to him, it would be bad for someone to pick trouble from him.

Besides, what if they turn their backs in the future?
Qiu Shenghe was also well aware of the mystery, and raised the wine cup at that time: "I think my father's proposal is very good. We are sworn brothers, and we know that we are brothers in our hearts, so why do we have to do any ceremony?"

Seeing that everyone was so persistent, Shi Xiaoxian couldn't say anything more.

At that moment, the three drank the wine from the wine cup, Shi Xiaoxian was the eldest brother, Qiu Shenghe was the second brother, Meng Shaoyuan was the youngest and became the third brother.

In this way, the relationship between the three was greatly shortened.

"Nephew Shaoyuan." Qiu Desong's address has also changed: "In this way, we have become a family. In the future, nephew, if you have orders, just ask. My Qiu family's business is your business, and my Qiu family's business is yours." A nephew is your nephew."

I rely on.

Your Qiu family's business is my business?joke.

And the last sentence, "My Qiu family's nephew is your nephew", so I feel ashamed to send Qiu Xingchang to carry out dangerous missions.

However, Shi Xiaoxian was very interested, and asked Qiu Xingchang to tell Meng Shaoyuan that since they sworn brothers, Meng Shaoyuan, the brother of Chongqing Pao, could also have the final say in the future.

Among the Pao brothers in Chongqing, Shi Xiao was first the chief rudder and then the leading master, and he decided to ask Meng Shaoyuan to be the "master sitting in the hall" to jointly command the [-] Pao brothers and to advertise to each other.

"Brother, hold on." Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly said, "I can do this, but I have a special status. In my opinion, it's enough to let some important leaders know, and there is no need to cause trouble all over the city."

Shi Xiaoxian is not an idiot, he understood it as soon as he heard it.

At that time, he agreed, and briefly introduced the composition of Brother Pao to Meng Shaoyuan.

The "Tangkou" of other gangs is called "Gongkou" in the Paoge organization. Each public mouth is divided into ten rows. For example, Shi Xiaoxian is the first row uncle in Chongqing.

From one row to ten rows, it is collectively called "one dragon".

But the most important thing is that there are no "four rows" and "seven rows" in Paoge everywhere. It is said that there is a story in it.

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, when Zheng Chenggong sent Chen Jinnan to set up a temple in Yazhou, Sichuan, there were four rows of Fang Liangbin who betrayed the alliance and secretly reported to Jianchang Town.

Later, Hu Si and Li Qi broke the covenant, reported to the government, betrayed their brothers, and were secretly executed by people sent by Ben Shantou.Their rebellious behavior has always been tolerated by Brother Pao, and since then no one has played the fourth and seventh rows.

So complicated?

They were talking there, but Lu Yixuan had other ideas in his mind. If Boss Meng was Boss Meng, he just came to Chongqing and became sworn brothers with two important local figures. From then on, Hang Lung Company could develop in Chongqing even more unscrupulously.

Moreover, it seems that they can use their influence to gradually infiltrate Henglong's business to other places in Sichuan.
