He actually became a minister?

This was something Meng Shaoyuan had never thought of before.

"The stationmasters of each station of the Lixing Society, in the past, they were the ministers of the frontier, and they had great power, but it was impossible not to be constrained." Ma Hui said slowly:

"Xiao Meng, you happened to be passing by Tianjin this time, Director Dai is asking you to take a look at the work of Tianjin Station, I know that you have not joined the Lixing Club for a long time, and you may not be able to understand the above meaning, but we understand.

Now that we understand, if we don't report to you, Director Dai will definitely not be satisfied. It stands to reason that this afternoon, tomorrow morning, I should report to you, hey, actually to Director Dai, but I didn't do it, why?

I think, it's too cumbersome to report like this, where are there so many big cases waiting for you to solve every day? It's nothing more than trivial things, so simply, take advantage of the meal time to make a brief report with you. ”

Ma Guitu is a person who seems to be smiling all day long, talking funny, and treating people warmly, but he is also an old fritter, and everything he says is on the point.

Ma Guitu glanced at him: "For example, we exchanged information with the Japanese, we can't leave any evidence in the file, but do you know it?" I know, at least I've heard the rumors, and our Director Dai is not so easy to deceive.

Why am I so frank with you? First, there is no need to hide this, and second, this will not cause harm to Lixingshe. Third, instead of discovering it for you, I might as well tell you all about it. I'll tell you this, after this meal, I'll take you to see what kind of exchange method this information is. ”

Yes.

Meng Shaoyuan really hadn't seen how two intelligence agencies, which should be hostile in principle, exchanged intelligence.

He was in Nanjing, and found Rite, one word: catch!

Did you still say to him, "Yo, how can you sell this information?" ”

"Thirty dollars and five parts."

"Do you think twenty-five dollars will be successful?"

Isn't it like a wet market?

On the stage, the girls all danced, and another woman came up to sing.

After eating almost, Ma returned to take Meng Shaoyuan and got up to leave, and no one asked them to settle the bill, on the contrary, the waiter also brought them coats diligently, and said in a loud voice, "Boss Ma, you are good to go." ”

When I arrived at the hall, the manager Zhao Daosheng happened to be there, and when he saw Ma coming out on the way back, he hurriedly moved forward: "Ouch, Boss Ma, Boss Zhu, this is leaving?" ”

"Gone." Ma Hui said slowly: "Take Boss Zhu to play in Nanshi, I don't know if the price has risen." Nowadays, everything is rising, where is the salary of those of us who are civil servants enough? ”

Zhao Daosheng was so smart, as soon as he heard this: "Boss Ma, wait a minute." ”

He hurried away.

Ma Guitu smiled: "I wish the boss, wait a minute." ”

Within a few minutes, Zhao Daosheng came back, holding a stack of money in his hand, and stuffed it into the hand of the horse on the way back: "You take this, it's not enough to spend you sending someone to speak, I'll send it to you." ”

Ma didn't even say thank you on the way back, and stuffed the money into his pocket: "That's it." Best wishes boss, let's go. ”

Meng Shaoyuan finally knew why the Majestic Hotel was claimed to be the most upscale hotel in Tianjin, and it was opened so well, but it closed not long after the Double 12 incident.

No matter how good the business is, how can it withstand such blackmail?

Before, there was this relationship with Zhang Shaoshuai, and none of them had to be afraid.

What now?

Zhang Shaoshuai fell.

The tree has fallen, and I must find a way to blackmail them.

A sedan was already waiting outside, and Ma Guitu and Meng Shaoyuan sat in the back seat together: "Xiao Meng, it makes sense that people outside here scold us and hate us." You said that Zhao Daosheng smiled at me on the surface, but in his heart he had already scolded my ancestors for eighteen generations.

But I don't take this money, someone else takes it. Hey, it's not easy to do business, but it's even more difficult for us. You said that there are often people coming to this Tianjin station, and some of them are important people, such as you. You have to entertain it, and you have to entertain it well, but how does this cost go? It is written in the public ledger:

"Today, I entertained Meng Shaoyuan, an important member of Nanjing, lived in an expensive hotel, ate an expensive meal, and drank flower wine in Nanshi after the meal." Do you speak like that? So we have to figure it out for ourselves. Just like those businessmen, see us fighting wits and courage with the Japanese all day long, and honor us. ”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded slightly.

If they are satisfied, they will cause you trouble in the future.

"I'll just tell you something, last year, I had a deputy stationmaster, a newcomer, surnamed Lu, Lu Xingqi, who used to do front-line work, didn't understand this set in officialdom, was upright, and the most unaccustomed thing was to eat and invite, and the reception banquet held for him, he just drank a glass of wine and left, which made everyone very faceless."

Ma Guitu said slowly: "In a few days, Chief Xu of the Accounting Unit of Nanjing Headquarters, ah, Xu Renji, you must know each other." Bring someone to Tianjin to audit the accounts. It just so happened that I was not there, and Lu Xingqi received him and strictly abided by the rules. arranged for Chief Xu to live in a small hotel, and there was no wine for the meals he ate in the small restaurant, and he couldn't see a few of Youxingzi's dishes. After eating, they went back to their homes.

Chief Xu didn't say anything, inspected his work in Tianjin for two days, and brought back a bunch of account books. When I come back, when I hear it, it's broken, and I'm going to be in trouble.

Sure enough, we couldn't approve the funds we applied for, and the card was stuck in Xu Renji. People have good reasons, this account is not right in the account book, there is a problem with that account, and it always takes a year and a half to find out.

Well, let's go to Nanjing in person and make amends in person. You don't know how much effort I spent to satisfy Chief Xu. He was satisfied, and before I returned to Tianjin, the funds were approved. ”

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it.

Xu Renji not only knows him, but also knows him very well, and he can get the reimbursement on the same day. Come to think of it, I usually respect him a lot, otherwise I would have the same result.

These "ministers" outside look infinitely beautiful, but in fact, life is just as difficult.

"Where's the deputy stationmaster?"

"I'm very stubborn, I think I haven't done anything wrong, and I think I should follow the rules when I do things." Ma Guitu sighed: "Later, I was isolated at Tianjin Station. Actually, I also know that this person is good, and he is a good spy at it, but he is now the deputy stationmaster, so he always has to think about the whole station, right? It happened that there was a floating corpse case in Tianjin, and I asked him to assist the police in the investigation. ”

A dignified deputy stationmaster of the Lixing Society, what kind of floating corpse case to investigate?

It's all a matter for the police.

"Speaking of this floating corpse case, it is also an evil sect." The spirit of the horse returning to the road: "Every year in May, in the Haihe River of Dazhigu, there will always be floating corpses......"

On May 1, 1936, the people of Tianjin ushered in an ordinary day. In the early morning, many people habitually walk on the bank of the Dazhigu Hai River.

However, on this very day, they suddenly found several corpses floating in the river.

The panicked people quickly reported to the police, and the people of the Dazhigu Life Saving Association recovered the body.

To everyone's surprise, every day after that, there will be a lot of floating corpses in this section of the Haihe River. From No. 1 to No. 8, a total of 67 bodies were found.

The Tianjin police began to investigate the matter. After identification, it was found that most of the deceased were men between 20 and 40 years old, and they could not be identified, and no one came to claim the bodies.

What's even more bizarre is that these corpses actually have three causes of death:

One was recently drowned, and the body was intact; One is that it has long drowned, sunk to the bottom of the water, and now it has come up, and the body has decomposed; There is also one that is not drowned at all, but is thrown into the sea river after death.

Even during the police investigation, bodies continued to appear on a daily basis, and the police found about 300 bodies in total.

A year later, in May of this year, a large number of floating corpses reappeared!

Ma Huitu frowned: "It is said that these people are all eaten to death by eating white noodles, but isn't it, can eating white noodles eat so many people to death?" I went to the scene and saw that most of the deceased were dressed as migrant workers......"

When Meng Shaoyuan heard this, he sighed in his heart.

I knew about this Tianjin floating corpse case, and the mystery was solved a long time later.

He organized the wording in his mind: "Stationmaster Ma, you treat me so well, I will give you a rich and rich." I just came back from Manchuria, and it just so happened that I learned about the floating corpse case in Tianjin in Manchuria......"

"What, you know?" The horse was stunned on the way back.

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "In Tianjin, the Japanese have the Hedong East Bureau Barracks, and this year they built the Jindong Li Mingzhuang Barracks. The construction of these two barracks requisitioned a large number of Chinese laborers. After the completion of the barracks, the Japanese were afraid that the information in the barracks would be leaked, so they brutally killed the Chinese laborers and threw them into the Haihe River, creating the Tianjin Haihe River floating corpse case. In order to cover up the facts, they also specifically found people who had died of drug addiction and threw them into the Haihe River to confuse the public. ”

Ma Huitu was completely stunned when he heard it, and after a long time, his voice trembled: "This...... It's true? ”

"Really, I heard it from a Japanese agent." Meng Shaoyuan made an excuse: "But you still need to find specific evidence yourself." ”

That's right.

Both barracks were built in February and completed at the end of April, which explains why the floating corpses were in May.

Needless to say, Ma Guitu's gratitude to Meng Shaoyuan in his heart.

Meng Shaoyuan really gave himself a great fortune.

Regardless of whether evidence can be found or not, as long as this matter is quietly reported to the top, Shangfeng has to look at the ability of Tianjin Station to look at it differently.

"Shao Yuan." The horses shouted on the way back: "If you really want to find out, I must tell the above that you are the first credit!" ”

"No need." Meng Shaoyuan smiled faintly: "Don't talk about me, Stationmaster Ma, we still have more opportunities to cooperate in the future." ”

"Yes, yes." Ma Huitu nodded again and again: "Shaoyuan, no matter what today, we must have a good drink!" ”
