Qingqiu frowned disapprovingly, Zhao Zhongshu suddenly became strange, where did the usual gentle and generous Zhao Zhongshu go?Bai Shaoyi was also dissatisfied with her friend's attitude: "Why do you say that about your sister? I don't know what happened, and I don't have the right to speak. As for how Zhao Yihan and your wife get along, I have no right to say. But Zhao Yihan told Chunsheng We can all see the concern. She will not harm the child. I think Chunsheng is well educated by her. Although she has flaws in other places, you can’t completely deny her hard work. Chunsheng used to be What a dull child, she became much more lively after following Zhao Yihan. I can see that she puts all her energy on the child, didn't you dig out her heart by doing this?"

Zhao Zhongshu didn't want to discuss this issue, he ignored Bai Shaoyi's words, and directly changed the topic: "Don't talk about me, who invited you for this case?" Zhao Zhongshu's tone was serious, he didn't seem to be joking at all Bai Shaoyi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The agreed secret, how do you know? I should discuss it with the procuratorate. They keep talking about secrets all day long, and they tell me to rest assured. I don't worry. This result? How do you know? You didn’t handle this case, did you?” Zhao Zhongshu smiled disdainfully, with a hint of complacency on the corners of his eyes and brows, “There are only things that I don’t want to know about what happened in Shanghai, or things that I can’t know. You should Think about it, why did the procuratorate suddenly ask you to handle this case. In fact, you know that as long as the evidence is sufficient, the charges for prosecution will probably be settled. It’s not like they are dead, they just asked you to come.”

Listening to Zhao Zhongshu's words, Bai Shaoyi restrained her smile and looked at the scenery outside the window. Bai Shaoyi sighed: "I know you are worried about me, but you should know how much they have embezzled. The situation of the country is already at stake. Those people are still changing the law to search for the people's fat and people's anointing. Shanghai is the center of the national economy, and how many factories are here. Look at what they are doing? Embezzlement of Shanghai's outer defense project funds, what is the difference between this and self-destructing the Great Wall ? I don’t want to watch the country being eaten away by moths, so let’s do our best.”

Zhao Zhongshu actually applauded. He made an expression of admiration, and smirked at Bai Shaoyi with a fake face: "I really didn't expect that the country would have a righteous man like you who was ordered to turn the tide when he was in danger. Save the common people from the upside down. You are really an admirable hero."

Hearing Zhao Zhongshu's tone was wrong, Qingqiu frowned worriedly and looked at her husband. Bai Shaoyi showed no expression to his friend's sarcasm. It's not that serious. To put it bluntly, isn't Meng Qinglian backed by a strong backing? I rejected Dean Wang's kindness to ask me to become an official a while ago, and now I have to use his subordinates for surgery. Don't annoy this big man that day , I have to be more careful. What else can I do except send me a bullet? I rely on my ability to fight lawsuits for a living, and if I don’t hang around in the officialdom, what can he do to me?”

Qingqiu just heard from Bai Shaoyi that he was going to take on a case, but he didn't expect that so many things would be involved in a seemingly ordinary corruption case.Qingqiu said worriedly: "If this is the case, it can be seen that the procuratorate is not kind. It is clear that they are worried that they have offended them severely and will be angered by the higher-ups. Please go out and be taken advantage of. I think it is better to push this case away. To save It's scary." Although Qingqiu is not as well-informed as Zhao Zhongshu.She doesn't know the parties and disputes in the political arena, but she is intelligent by nature, and she can hear something wrong from just a few words between her husband and Zhao Zhongshu.Qingqiu is very clear about political disputes and party struggles, she just wants to live a peaceful life and doesn't want to get involved in political disputes anymore.

Zhao Zhongshu immediately came up to help: "You see that Qingqiu has spoken. Although you usually don't get involved in politics, you have always been wise and safe. Why do you suddenly want to get into the horns like a child? I think you just pushed it away. The procuratorate They are all old fritters, and they will defer to you the cases they dare not intervene in. If you still believe in the independence of the judiciary, you are too naive." Bai Shaoyi lowered her head to think, and said helplessly after a long while: "You said That's right, but my heart is also warm, the situation of the country is like this. You don't know, since I came into contact with the investigation report on the situation in Northeast China and North China, I can no longer pretend to turn a blind eye to the national crisis. You didn't see it, from the League of Nations According to the survey report, the Japanese intention is not only to split the Northeast, but also to annex the whole country. Looking at the current situation, any reasonable Chinese can see that the Japanese will attack Shanghai. You think, at this juncture, they are still embezzling the allocation of fortifications and war reserves!"

Bai Shaoyi got a little excited, he stood up abruptly and walked back and forth in the living room: "Actually, I didn't want to get too involved. It's just that I can no longer pretend to be indifferent after reading the file. A person with a conscience is You can't watch this kind of thing happen. Once the war with Japan starts, the food and ammunition equipment will be brought out immediately. The food and grass before the soldiers and horses are moved is a truth that every storyteller in a teahouse knows. Since you know all the secrets of Shanghai, then You said, how many days can Shanghai's food reserves last?"

"Well, excluding the grain on the market and the stocks in the concession, the Shanghai Zhabei warehouse and the warehouse on the wharf, the grain that can be taken out of it is probably enough for Shanghai's one-month supply. This is normal. It is a land of fish and rice with rich land, and food can be shipped in quickly. In fact, military food is stored elsewhere, such as warehouses in Suzhou and Changzhou. There are also warehouses of the Ministry of National Defense in Nanjing.” Zhao Zhongshu is worthy of what he said, Shanghai’s There are only things he doesn't want to know, nothing he doesn't know.

"Look, you have been deceived. Except for the grain in the hands of the grain merchants on the market, the grain in the government warehouse can only last for a week. Those grains have been secretly sold to Dalian! Think about it, the Japanese The warships completely occupied the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, but the food was transported to Dalian unimpeded! This is not corruption, it is collaborating with the enemy!" Bai Shaoyi smiled ironically, his eyes gleaming with anger.

Zhao Zhongshu was so angry that he stared in surprise: "What, they dare to cooperate with the enemy!" Bai Shaoyi looked at his friend who was full of smoke, and comforted him unkindly: "Don't you know everything about Shanghai? How come the warehouse in Zhabei? Is it out of your control?"

Zhao Zhongshu seemed to be deflated by a balloon poked by a needle point, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the expression on his face became ferocious: "I spent money to raise some edible things, what do I need them for?" The expression on Zhao Zhongshu's face was terrified. She exchanged glances with Bai Shaoyi and was busy smoothing things over: "There are so many people in Shanghai, so many things. You are not a god, so you can know everything. Well, let's not talk about those disappointing things, I Tell Zhang Ma to prepare the meal, you stay and eat. Since Shao Yi came back, you are all very busy, you haven't sat down to drink and talk for a long time." Said Qingqiu to ask Zhang Ma to prepare lunch.

Zhao Zhongshu stopped Qingqiu, he had already returned to his normal expression, and he couldn't see the ferocious anger just now from his expression and tone: "Don't bother me, I still have things to attend to. I think you should still take care of Shaoyi for that case." Think about it and don't get too emotional." Zhao Zhongshu took his hat and wanted to leave.

Qingqiu thought of something and rushed to the hallway: "By the way, I shouldn't have interrupted about Yihan's matter. She's a girl, and you should be considerate as a brother. As for what Xiuzhi said, I don't favor anyone else. Maybe there is some misunderstanding between her and Yihan. How much do you know about family affairs when you are busy with outside affairs all day, I want you to have a good talk with Yihan. "

Zhao Zhongshu stood still, took a deep look at Qingqiu, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Okay, thank you for reminding me. I will find time to talk to Yihan. She is staying with you now, don't worry, I will ask him to go back to save her life immediately." I’m bothering you.” Zhao Zhongshu raised his hand to Qingqiu and walked away quickly.
