Chapter 543: The Reporter's Encounter

Meng Shaoyuan was busy making money from the traitors, and the Japanese were busy rectifying the Shanghai secret service.

The people of the two factions were busy with their own affairs, but there was a rare "tranquility" in the Shanghai Public Concession.

This is the scene that the Ministry of Industry is most happy to see, especially for the new director Moyes.

There's nothing more delightful than that.

It is better that this peace continues.

Although he also knew it was unlikely.

But it's good to be able to delay it for an extra day.

One after another, blackmailed traitors came to pay the "life saving fee".

Compared to money, it seems that your own life is more important.

That Young Master Meng often asked for 200,000 US dollars as soon as he opened his mouth, which was simply an astronomical amount.

But depending on your attitude, you can negotiate, you can negotiate.

For example, there is a traitor who is in the leather business, and his ancestors have been in business for three generations, and he can be regarded as having a lot of savings.

But since he was blackmailed by Meng Shaoyuan, he sold his shop and house, took out his savings over the years, sold his wife's dowry, and barely got 15,000 US dollars, which is already a huge amount of money.

However, it is still too far from the $200,000 that Meng Shao originally requested.

He sent the money fearfully, thinking that he would be punished, but he didn't expect the traitor who came to collect the money to accept the money and left him a thousand dollars.

This traitor was at a loss.

The spy said to him: "You are actively raising funds and making you destitute, we are all in sight, and we will not force your whole family to die." You take this thousand dollars, rent a house, do some business, more than enough. In the future, you should be more peaceful, and don't ask you to serve the country, at least don't be a traitor. ”

This leather merchant is grateful to Dade, and he was still worried about how the family will live in the future, but now it's okay, it's okay now.

I knew that I would be bankrupt when I was a traitor, who would want to?

This is also what Meng Shaoyuan decided after careful consideration, first, to give these traitors who are not guilty of death a chance, and second, he really doesn't want to force people to death.

These people don't have particularly big crimes, they are not the kind of big traitors who don't repent of committing great crimes, if they really force one or two to death, it is easy to backfire.

Once the Japanese seize the opportunity to hype up, it is easy to fall into passivity.

Extortion is still necessary to pay attention to proportion.

But if you calculate carefully, this time you have gained a lot, in addition to the money given to Tang Zong, you can also make a lot of money, something like this, you can come to this every few months in the future.

This traitor is like a weed, cutting off a stubble will naturally produce another stubble.

"Director Meng, Mr. Joy is here."

Just as Meng Shaoyuan was counting the money there, Wu Jingyi came in and reported.

Joey?

He didn't want to stay at Angus International, what was he doing here?

Meng Shaoyuan collected the money he had just handed over: "Let him come in." ”

Joey's eyes darkened, and he didn't seem to have a good night's sleep yesterday: "Hey, Meng." ”

"Is there something looking for me?" As soon as he saw Joey's appearance, Meng Shaoyuan and him were old friends, so he also omitted greetings and asked bluntly.

"Yes, I'm in some trouble."

What trouble can you get into as a foreigner? Meng Shaoyuan was very curious: "Tell me, what happened to make you so haggard?" ”

"Meng, I have a friend named Tian Bolie......"

Tian Bolie? Why is it so familiar?

Joy sat down opposite Meng Shaoyuan: "He was born in Australia, and later settled in England, serving as a correspondent for the British 'Manchester Guardian' in Beiping. After the fall of Nanjing, he arrived there as soon as possible......"

Tian Bolie!

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly remembered who this was.

A dear friend of the Chinese people!

Friend!

That's one word to describe him!

After the fall of Nanjing, Tian Bolie ventured to the capital of the Nationalist Government, collected a large number of first-hand precious materials on the Nanjing Massacre, and wrote "Foreigners Witness the Atrocities of the Japanese Army in China", and then took them out of Nanjing at the risk of danger.

When the book was published in England after a long period of hardship, it quickly became a sensation.

Like those films, it is irrefutable evidence of the atrocities of the Japanese army.

By the way, in the future public trial, he also personally and bravely testified in court, angrily saying everything he witnessed in Nanjing that day.

It's just that this book "Foreigners Witness the Atrocities of the Japanese Army in China" has twists and turns, and it was lost once, and the later version was rewritten with the memories of Tian Bolie.

There are some omissions.

Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly asked, "Where is Tian Bolie now?" ”

"It's already in Shanghai." Joey sighed: "As soon as he arrived in Shanghai, he first encountered the 'Flying Bag Party', and his luggage was lost......"

"Fuck." Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but scold.

The so-called "flying bag party" refers to the thieves and robbers who specialize in stealing and robbing guests from other places.

As soon as they see outsiders and foreigners, they will often pretend to be enthusiastic to help them show them the way, and then they will help them stop the rickshaw, and when you just get on, they will immediately pick up your luggage and run.

They are familiar with the road, and they can run without a trace in a while. Even if the victim is lucky enough to catch up, their accomplices who have been waiting there for a long time will rush up, pretend to persuade and ask, surround the victim, and take the opportunity to let the accomplice escape.

Don't.

Meng Shaoyuan is a spirit, don't the book "Foreigners Witness the Atrocities of the Japanese Army in China" in the lost luggage, right?

But Joey's words were not finished: "Tian Bolie failed to catch the robber, and what was even more unfortunate was that he met the ...... of the 'Flower Arrangement Party'" again."

Meng Shaoyuan could only smile bitterly.

"Flower Arrangement Party" sounds quite good, but what it does has absolutely nothing to do with art.

Often, after the "flying bag party" has snatched the victim's luggage, if the victim is dressed decently, the "flower arrangement party" will soon appear.

They will ask you what you have lost, and then they will be indignant and say that they must help the victim find it.

Of course, the victim was very grateful, and at this time, the "flower arrangement" party would take him to a so-called "doorway" friend to ask for the news of the luggage.

At this point, the anxious and helpless victim has been completely controlled.

Where will the "flower arrangement" take them? Brothel!

Once there, the victim is completely finished.

The "flower arrangement party" pretended to tell you that friends with doors like to come to this kind of place, and they will come after a while, so that he can wait with peace of mind.

The victim is at the mercy of others.

The turtle in the brothel will bring you tea and constantly comfort you, and there is a girl who will talk to you and comfort you. When it comes to the meal, there is no need to command, the meal is served naturally.

Seeing that it was evening, the "flower arrangement party" said that friends who have a door will not come today, but they will come tomorrow, and they will let each other rest here.

If you are willing to call the girl, he will call it for you, and if you are not in the mood, you will not be forced.

In short, all the expenses are borne by the "flower arrangement party".

At this point, you can't walk if you want to.

Barely waiting until the next day, the "flower arrangement" party was gone, and the brothel people began to collect money.

What is the cost of tea, the cost of accompanying the girl, the cost of meals, and the cost of accommodation.

One count, a sum of money from the boss.

Even if the guests spend all their money, it will not be enough to fill the hole.

Want to find a "flower arrangement party" that swears that all expenses will be borne by the other party? Where can you find it?

The thugs of the brothel came forward and surrounded the unlucky victims, stripped them of their clothes, pocket watches, and leather shoes, and they were still not enough, and they had to ask their family and friends to borrow money to ransom them.

For him, during this period, you still have to eat and drink Lazar, don't you? All the money has to be recounted.

So, you can't fill this hole anyway. What's even more tragic is that you are a foreigner, how can you fight with them?

If you have friends in Shanghai, you should quickly invite your friends to come, find someone to make peace with, and pay a sum of money to get out.

If you really can't squeeze oil and water, if you're lucky, you'll be beaten and thrown out, and if you're unlucky, it's hard to say.

Foreigners are better, after all, these people are somewhat afraid of foreigners, and when they see that the other party really has no money, they will just scold and blow you out.

This Tian Bolie was unlucky.

"Where is Tian Bolie now?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.

"Disway Road Guide Agency."

Yes?

Headache.

The Japanese army occupied Shanghai, and the northern and eastern districts of the public concession were the Japanese districts.

Later, the Japanese crossed the border to build roads in the North District, and North Sichuan Road and Disway Road were also included in their sphere of influence.

In Japan, they openly allowed tobacco, gambling, and drugs to be openly traded, and also set up a large number of weathering zones.

This so-called "guide club" is actually a brothel.

The Ministry of Industry can't manage it at all.

"Meng." Joey hurriedly said to Meng Shaoyuan: "Tian Bolie asked me to borrow money by phone, I knew that something was wrong as soon as I heard it, I hurried to the guide agency he said, but I didn't see anyone at all, those people in the guide club asked me to settle his account first, but I don't know Tian Bolie's current situation, how dare I give them money rashly?" ”

"Well, that's right." Meng Shaoyuan's mind was racing rapidly.

If you want to rescue Tian Bolie, it is not too difficult to do, the key problem is the bag he lost, and the whereabouts of the book "Foreigners Witness the Atrocities of the Japanese Army".

Meng Shaoyuan called Wu Jingyi in: "Call Sinclair, and at the same time mobilize our manpower to arrest all the leaders of the Feibao Party in Shanghai." ”

"What's the catch?" Wu Jingyi asked calmly.

"The patrol room is responsible for arresting the Feibao party, and our people are responsible for arresting their families." Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "Specially free up the warehouse for me, fuck, I don't have time to deal with these hooligans, these hooligans are actually lawless!" ”

Wu Jingyi was puzzled, why did the Feibao Party offend Young Master Meng?

But since it was ordered by Young Master Meng, there was no need to ask more, just do it.

"Joey, come with me to the Guide Agency." Meng Shaoyuan stood up, took something out of the drawer and stuffed it into his pocket: "I've been to all places in Shanghai, but I've never been to any guide agency!" ”
