"After he returned to China that year, Li Guojie offended Yuan Shikai and was almost shot."

Wu Jingyi held a document in her hand: "Fortunately, I got Xu Shichang's intercession, so I got out of danger." In the 16th year of the Republic of China, the chairman appointed a cadre Zhao Tieqiao to take over the Shanghai Steamship China Merchants Bureau, and Li Guojie, who was the chairman of the China Merchants Steamship Bureau at that time, actually invited the killer Wang Yaqiao to kill Zhao Tieqiao, and the chairman immediately sent someone to investigate the case, and soon found Li Guojie's body, Li Guojie was arrested and imprisoned for the crime of "disrupting economic order", and it was decided to carry out the death penalty.

At the last moment, Duan Qirui personally came forward to intercede, although Duan Qirui was in the opposition at that time, he still had a certain amount of influence, and the chairman could only sell Li Guojie in front of him.

After the Shanghai incident, Li Guojie stayed in Shanghai and refused to go to Chongqing. According to reliable sources, Li Guojie will take up the post of Minister of Transportation of the puppet Restoration government, and Director Dai personally issued a 'hoe order'! ”

"Got it."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded slightly.

Who is Li Guojie?

He probably didn't know much.

But his grandfather became famous.

Late Qing celebrity Li Hongzhang!

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't figure it out, one was the son of the famous minister Zhang Zhidong, and the other was the grandson of the famous minister Li Hongzhang.

Zhang Xiangshuai, who runs industry and attaches importance to education, is known as "a great revolutionary who does not speak of revolution".

Li Hefei almost single-handedly saved the Qing Dynasty from peril.

Two famous celebrities, why are their descendants so unbearable?

As soon as the hoe order came out, Li Guojie was dead and alive.

It's okay, let's solve him and Chen Zheng together this time.

"I'll be in charge of this myself." Meng Shaoyuan thought about it, and it was better to come forward to solve Li Guojie himself.

just assassinated Chen Zheng and Li Guojie at the same time, for fear that it would cause an uproar in China.

Li Guojie is Li Hongzhang's grandson, what about Chen Zheng? His circle of friends is almost a diplomatic envoy of the Republic of China.

Kill it.

No matter who you are, being a traitor is a dead end!

Before planning how to assassinate, Yu Yanchu hurriedly walked in: "Something happened." ”

The current Yu Yanchu was transferred out of the telecommunications department by Wu Jingyi and became her assistant.

"What's so stressful?" Meng Shaoyuan frowned.

"Chester Kendall disappeared in Shanghai."

Meng Shaoyuan had never heard of this person's name at all: "Who is this?" What does it have to do with us? Go to the patrol house. ”

"This man is the American J· The plenipotentiary representative of the P. Morgan consortium for China business is said to have a special mission in Japan. ”

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realized.

Although he didn't know Kendall, he knew what he was doing in China.

After Wang Ching-wei's defection, the international attitude toward China changed rapidly, and the United States also resumed its lending business to China and sought further comprehensive cooperation.

The Morgan consortium is one of the companies that has partnered with China.

Special mission? It was the representative of the U.S. government, and it was only in order not to provoke the Japanese that it entered China in the name of a representative of the foundation.

This person disappeared in Shanghai, so what happened?

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly became annoyed: "Why didn't we know about such an important person when he came to Shanghai?" Why didn't anyone notify us to take care of the pick-up and protection mission? Something has to happen to think of us? ”

This is also the helplessness of the military commanders.

Throughout the Anti-Japanese War, they were doing dirty work.

In some cases, they even become scapegoats.

And what about the various government departments?

There are some important things that I don't need to discuss with the military commanders.

Something has to happen?

In their eyes, the military commander is a group of spies?

"Who delivered this message?" Meng Shaoyuan asked with a cold face.

"Not a pass, but an order."

"Orders?"

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned: "Mr. Dai's order? ”

"No, it was an order personally issued by Kong Xiangxi, the premier, the finance minister, and the governor of the central bank."

No way!

A financial manager gives orders to a spy chief?

Minister Kong personally sent a telegram ordering the Shanghai side to go all out to find the missing Kendall. At the same time, there is also a private telegram from Minister Kong to you. ”

Meng Shaoyuan had a headache.

There is some friendship between himself and Kong Xiangxi, especially him and his daughter Kong Lingyi.

took the telegram, and it was actually sent by Kong Xiangxi as an elder. It roughly means that there are American guests coming to China and passing through Shanghai, but the reception staff in charge has not received them, so please be sure to find American guests in Shanghai.

Vaguely spoken.

Anyway, it means that I lost the American guests, and you Meng Shaoyuan will find it back for me.

The telegram later said that it was Meng Shaoyuan's old friend who was in charge of receiving Kendall in Shanghai.

Friends?

Who is it?

Meng Shaoyuan didn't have time to care about these: "Is this telegram clearly coded or encrypted?" ”

"Mingma!"

"Ridiculous!"

Meng Shaoyuan's face changed slightly.

He didn't dare to say publicly that Kong Xiangxi was not: "What are those people in the Ministry of Finance doing?" Clearly informed, isn't this a fucking notice to the Japanese? I can't do this, whoever causes the trouble will be responsible! ”

Wu Jingyi knew that it was her turn to come forward for this kind of thing: "District Mayor Meng, the Ministry of Finance did a mistake in this matter, but we still have to hurry up to help deal with the aftermath." One is a telegram sent to you by Minister Kong himself, which you can't afford not to give. Second, our military commanders will have to rely on them for their future financial allocations, and Shanghai may rely on them less, but Director Dai cannot but consider it. ”

Meng Shaoyuan sighed.

I can't even shit quickly, and I have to help wipe my butt myself.

Now it's okay, I want to assassinate Chen Zheng again, and I want to assassinate Li Guojie again.

Still have to find an American?

It's been a busy year.

"Send a telegram to Mr. Dai immediately and report the matter in detail."

Meng Shaoyuan didn't dare to delay: "Where are the people sent to Shanghai by the Ministry of Finance now?" ”

"International Hotel."

Well, I came to know that I would stay at the International Hotel, because it was relatively safe there.

Notice, and without notifying yourself.

"Call Shen Li and Ye Rong back to me, and now the public concession is looking for news everywhere."

Meng Shaoyuan's face was not very good, and whoever was involved in this matter was angry: "Wu Jingyi, you will keep an eye on it for me." If the Americans had three long and two short in Shanghai, we would be in big trouble. ”

Are you unlucky, you say?

People came to Shanghai without notice, but something happened, and the military commander was unlucky.

Who left you unprotected?

Military commander, you look majestic, but in the eyes of those big people?

There is nothing to do, and there is nothing to do in summer and spring.

"Prepare the car!"

"Yes!"

Yu Yanchu hurriedly picked up the phone.

Is it his old friend who is responsible for picking up Kendall?

Who is it?

It stands to reason that old friends should also inform themselves when they come to Shanghai?

Meng Shaoyuan muttered in his heart.

complained all the way to the International Hotel, and when I saw Manager Ge, I had a straight face:

"Bastard, someone who came and didn't tell me, where does that person live now?"
