Chapter 1003: Ordinary People
"There is a kind of people, who are dead soldiers, and this kind of people are there in the Japanese, and we also have them here."
As soon as he went out, Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "The purpose of their life is to die, and from the day they became dead soldiers, they have been waiting all the time. ”
"Isn't that cruel?"
Kong Lingyi couldn't help but say: "After all, it's all a living life." ”
"Cruel? Miss, do you know what cruelty is? Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "I am sick, living a life of poverty and illness, I can't see any hope of getting ahead, and when I get home every day, I worry about where today's dinner is, this is cruel." When the child is sick and has no money to see a doctor, he can only hug each other and cry, which is cruel.
Lao Liang has been poor for most of his life, and his lung disease has not improved, and if I let it go, I wouldn't know that there was such a small person under me. I needed to find a dead man, and my men helped me find Lao Liang and take him to the hospital to check, he didn't have long to live. If it weren't for the fact that I happened to need to hire people, he would have died silently, and this kind of supernumerary person didn't even have a funeral fee. ”
"Why?" Kong Lingyi asked: "As far as I know, the Ministry of Finance allocates funds to you every year, and your people have pensions for their sacrifices. ”
"Let's not talk about whether the money allocated to us by the Ministry of Finance is enough." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "The pension is for the official registered agents of the Military Command Bureau, and this kind of non-staff personnel is more than 10 million, and it is not their turn." After I became the head of the Special Office, a special fund was set up, and non-staff personnel also enjoyed the treatment of official special agents. The problem is that we can't take care of so many non-staff personnel at all, and some of them die today, and we may not know until half a year later.
It is said that I, Meng Shaoyuan, are calling for wind and rain in Shanghai, and I can't do anything, but there are many things that I can't do as much. For example, Liang Heen, where did I know about his existence before? When I talked to him, I talked to him about the task and promised to give him 30,000 silver dollars, do you know how he did it? He kowtowed to me three times on the spot, and I still remember it clearly. ”
Meng Shaoyuan really remembered it very clearly.
Liang Heen kowtowed and said: "District Chief Meng, I already knew that I wouldn't live long, you can give me such a large sum of money, so that my daughter-in-law and children have hope, you are the great benefactor of my Liang family." ”
"There are two kinds of dead soldiers." Meng Shaoyuan said in a daze: "One is to have firm ideals and beliefs, and to dedicate oneself without hesitation to the doctrine they believe in, and I have seen many such people. There is another kind of person, that is, a person like Lao Liang, who knows that he can't live anymore, and he also has no hesitation in order to make his family live a better life. This kind of person may not be a real hero in the eyes of many people, but he is a hero in the eyes of his wife and children! ”
When he was in Nanjing, Meng Shaoyuan helped Kong Lingyi open up a strange world.
In Shanghai, he helped Kong Lingyi open up another world that he had never imagined.
"District Chief Meng." Gao Fanyi couldn't help but ask, "What does this Liang Heen do?" ”
"He's pouring night incense for people."
"Pour night incense?"
"It's just to help people empty the toilet every day."
Gao Fanyi was stunned: "What use can this kind of person come in?" ”
"Senior brother, sometimes the little people can come in handy, so big that you can't imagine it!"
……
Zhai Cai sat there, smoking cigarette after cigarette.
"Mr. Zhai, we already know your name, and it's much easier to talk now." Hahara Koichi smiled: "This casino belongs to Ji Yunqing Ji's boss, and this is his goddaughter, Ms. She Aizhen." As for me, I am a reporter of the 'Patriotic Daily', you can call me Mr. Yu. ”
"Mr. Yu, tell me, what are you looking for me to do."
"Mr. Zhai, this is your mistake." Hikaru Habara smiled: "You owe a lot of money here, and you always have to pay it back, are you right?" ”
Zhai Cai hurriedly said: "Mr. Yu, of course I have to pay back the money I owe, but I don't have so much money in my hand for a while, can I slow it down?" I promise I'll pay it back. ”
"Can't?" Koichi Habara said without hesitation: "There has never been such a rule in a casino. Look, Mr. Yu, we already know your identity, you are Miss Kong Lingyi's guard, right? ”
Zhai Cai was shocked.
Before he had time to deny it, Hawara Koichi said casually: "Don't admit it, Mr. Zhai, I don't have any malicious intentions, I said that I am a reporter, I just want to interview some inside information." For example, Miss Kong Lingyi's whereabouts, when she will go where, when she will meet whom, these are important first-hand information in the news. ”
This man is not a journalist!
Zhai Cai is very sure.
"Mr. Zhai, are you willing to cooperate with me? If you can tell me the news in the first place, your debt in the casino will be written off. ”
"No, no!" Zhai Cai shook his head: "I don't know any Kong Lingyi, and I have no way to provide you with this information." ”
She Aizhen frowned, and was about to have a seizure, but Koichi Hahara stopped her: "This is your choice." However, I will announce your affairs in the casino to the public, and say that you promised to cooperate with Ji Yunqing and play for the Japanese. ”
"You talk nonsense!"
"I'm talking nonsense!" Koichi Hahara was still smiling: "But the quality of a gambler, do you think there will be many people who believe it?" So many people are looking at you gambling in the Bora Club, and this happens to be Ji Yunqing's casino. Ah, I'll let you go out in a moment, and I'll be very polite and respectful to you, and I'll prepare a car for you. Of course, it just so happened that someone had taken these pictures, and then they would appear on the desk in the military command's office tomorrow.
I have to admit that there are many flaws in this plan, and the brain of Meng Shaoyuan, the head of the Shanghai District of the Military Command, will not choose to believe it completely, but in order to ensure the safety of Miss Kong Lingyi, what do you think he will do? ”
Sweat oozed from Zhai Caicai's forehead.
Hikaru Habara stretched out his hand one by one, and She Aizhen immediately gave him a thick stack of money. Hakuhara pushed the money in front of Zhai Cai:
"I don't need you to do anything unfavorable to Miss Kong Lingyi, I just need you to provide me with her whereabouts, and then tell me what has happened in the past few days. I'm a journalist, right, I'm not a Japanese intelligence officer. ”
You're a Japanese intelligence officer!
Zhai Cai couldn't be clearer in his heart.
But he is a gambler, and he is in a desperate situation, and people in this situation often make a choice:
Believe the lie!
Even if you know it's a lie.
In this way, he can convince himself to accept something that he is not willing to accept at all!
Zhai Caicai's hand slowly stretched out to the stack of money.
Koichi Habara smiled with satisfaction.
