Chapter 106: Greedy Heart

Masi South Road, French Concession, Chen Gongshu's rented garden house.

It looks like an ordinary house, but in fact there is a difference between the inside and the outside, not only is there a swimming whistle set up on the periphery, but it is also a secret guard guard for the grandfather in the bungalow.

Chen Gongshu really took great pains for his own safety.

This is where the organ of the military command in Shanghai is located, and all personnel transfers and operational orders in Shanghai are issued from here.

He and Zheng Jiayuan are working separately, and the purpose is naturally to take precautions, and he, Zheng Jiayuan, and Mao Wanli, the chief inspector of the Shanghai District, are the three giants of the military command of the Shanghai District.

After the transfer of power, each person bears his own share of the business, Zheng Jiayuan is mainly responsible for liaison and finance, and only when major matters need to be discussed, he will go to the location of the district office on Masinan Road.

Chen Gongshu is the mayor of Shanghai, and he has the Shang Fang Sword awarded by Boss Dai, so there are some things that naturally do not need to be explained to Zheng Jiayuan.

Therefore, Zheng Jiayuan only knew that Chen Gongshu had a plan for Chen Miao against "Chen Miao", but he didn't know exactly what the specific content of the plan was.

But he had seen the person "Zhong Guowei" appear in Chen Gongshu's garden house, and later knew that Zhong Guowei was the royal of Boss Yu of Tingxue Building. It dawned on him after using a lawyer.

Zhong Guowei's appearance must be related to Chen Miao, otherwise, Chen Gongshu would never have seen this "Zhong Guowei" at the location of his own organ.

As for how he found Zhong Guowei, he didn't know very well, but Xiao Qi asked him to meet on the black market, and he must have given him some news, otherwise he couldn't say it.

"Brother Gong Shu, what kind of person is this Zhong Guowei, and why do you trust him so much?" Zheng Jiayuan found an opportunity to ask, in fact, he didn't understand it, but he was also the number two person in Shanghai, and according to the rules, he had the right to know.

"Lao Zheng, Zhong Guowei's matter, don't get involved, I have my own measure in this matter, and I'll explain it to you later." Chen Gongshu refused to answer very dryly.

"Okay, I don't ask, but is Zhong Guowei reliable? Isn't it too dangerous for him to come and go freely in and out of your place like this? Zheng Jiayuan asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, there is no problem with this Zhong Guowei, otherwise, how could I let him come here to meet me." Chen Gongshu assured.

"Well, then I'll rest assured, Brother Gong Shu, now that our funds are about to bottom out, if we don't have any money, brothers don't talk about work, and there is no way to even guarantee food." Zheng Jiayuan nodded, he scraped together a sum of money, and finally dealt with it for some days, but if the above did not allocate funds, Shanghai District might fall apart at any time.

It's okay to have a cover occupation, and there is a fixed income, and there is not much problem with eating, but if you want to act, then there is no way to guarantee it, how can you use people without money?

"Soon, Lao Zheng, wait two more days, we will have money, and it will be a lot of money, more than the 200,000 fiat currency we lost." Chen Gongshu's face flushed with some excitement.

"More than we lost?" Zheng Jiayuan was also taken aback when he saw Chen Gongshu's excited smile, but he immediately felt a little uneasy, if there was such a good thing, why didn't he think of it?

"Anyway, it's not less than that!" Chen Gongshu stretched out a hand, and said with five fingers parted.

"Half a million?"

"Almost, anyway, this time, I want to solve the problem of funding for at least three months or even longer in our Shanghai area at one time, so that we have enough time to build a more hidden funding channel, and it will not be easily discovered by No. 76."

As a matter of fact, it is not difficult for the military commanders to provide funds for the Shanghai District, and the small amount of funds is carried out entirely through the method of exchange, and although it is secretive, the disadvantage is that it is rather cumbersome, the withdrawal of funds is scattered, and it is not stable enough.

The combination of Xiang Xia Yanbing and Song Yunping, if it weren't for He Yuanyuan, they would have been difficult to discover, even before they were discovered, they had been running smoothly for more than a year.

It will take time to establish such a stable funding channel, and the selection of personnel is also extremely crucial.

The best way is, of course, self-sufficient, but this point is easy to form a tail that cannot be lost, and how can the bureau headquarters control it at that time?

"Brother Gong Shu, I just got the inside news that Chief Cao's assassination of Wang Tianhuan failed, Wang Tianhuan was only shot and injured in the lower leg, and now the bullet has been taken out, and it is no big deal." Zheng Jiayuan brought Chen Gongshu a piece of news that was not very good.

"What about Cao Lijun?"

"Chief Cao decided to go back to Chongqing in person to ask Boss Dai for guilt, but it was a long way to Chongqing, and at this moment he was already wanted by the Japanese and No. 76, so he was afraid that it would be difficult to leave through normal channels, so he wanted to go to the countryside to hide for two days first, and then wait for the opportunity to leave by boat from the waterway."

"He's asking you for money, isn't he?" Chen Gongshu asked, how can there be no travel expenses to run away, let alone travel from Shanghai to Chongqing, thousands of kilometers, not to mention ten days and a half months.

Eating, taking a car, taking a boat, etc., it is difficult to move an inch without money.

"Yes, when I opened my mouth, I asked me for a thousand yuan for the journey, but I didn't have a thousand yuan, I gave him all the money on my body, and there was only a little change left, and the house I rented will be paid the rent the day after tomorrow, and I am also worried now." Zheng Jiayuan said helplessly.

"You ask the landlord to give two days of grace, and we will have money in two days, and Cao Lijun's side, since he has hid in the countryside, let him stay in the countryside for two more days, doesn't he ask for travel expenses, and give it to him when the time comes." Chen Gongshu said, Cao Lijun is also his predecessor, he didn't rebel if he didn't have money, and he naturally won't be stingy with money, and spend some money to send people away, and save himself trouble.

"I'm not too worried about this, Brother Gong Shu, the only thing I'm worried about is that Wang Tianheng will completely fall to No. 76, you know, his roots in North China are quite deep, but so far, our organizational structure in North China has not been damaged in any way, and now in this situation, Wang Kemin in North China and Liang Honglie in Nanjing are already ready to support Wang, and I have to suggest that Boss Dai immediately remove the people related to Wang Tianheng in our organs in North China, especially his subordinates in the past." Zheng Jiayuan said.

"Lao Zheng, this Wang Tianheng's defection to the enemy is his own business, if there is a large-scale removal of personnel from various organs in North China, what kind of consequences will it cause, do you know?"

"That's better than being served in a pot."

"Pull a hair and move the whole body, Lao Zheng, what we can think of, Boss Dai can't think of it, we just take care of ourselves, this shouldn't be something we worry about, don't worry about it, sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to worry too much." Chen Gongshu said seriously, "Lao Zheng, this is my advice to you. ”

"Thank you, Brother Gong Shu, I understand." Zheng Jiayuan nodded slightly and sighed.

……

76, Archives Office.

"Third brother, that's all I know, the little seventh brother's skills are too powerful, three times five divided by two, one of Yuan Jie's two bodyguards was broken, and one of them passed out......" When Wu Tianlin reported, his tone was a little excited.

"Do you have a picture?"

"Yes, third brother, you want to expose Yuan Jie's harassment of Tingxue Lou and his wife, and violating Yuan Xian's promise to publish the newspaper, right?" Wu Tianlin said.

"Of course, a second ancestor like Yuan Jie may not take reputation to heart, but although his son Yuan Xian is hypocritical, he still values reputation."

"Then why don't you blackmail this Yuan Xian?" Wu Tianlin said.

Chen Miao glanced at Wu Tianlin, blackmail, this is definitely against the code of conduct of underground workers, but his current external identity is the deputy chief of the archives section of No. 76, and he was also the military commander of the Blue Coat Society in the past, these two disguised identities cannot be regarded as good people, and to be a good person at No. 76, it is really a bit out of place.

Besides, the object of his extortion is not a good person, it is a traitor and traitor.

Such an analysis is not considered a violation of organizational discipline.

"You've wanted to do this for a long time, haven't you?" Chen Miao asked.

"To be able to breathe a sigh of relief for the third brother and his wife, Tianlin is duty-bound." Wu Tianlin smiled, obviously he had this idea for a long time.

"Go ahead, don't reveal your identity." Chen Miao nodded.

"Yes!"

Tiger father and dog son, Yuan Jie is not a little worse than other Lao Tzu Yuan Xianlai, he actually took the initiative to hand the handle into his hands, how could it be possible if he didn't use it.

Chen Miao can also understand Yuan Jie's thoughts, if he can coerce Liang Xueqin to sign an agreement to borrow money, then, next, Liang Xueqin will slowly fall into the middle, be at the mercy of him step by step, and finally lose both people and money.

Yuan Jie's calculations can be described as vicious, but don't forget, Liang Xueqin is not a fool, how could she not know the truth of seeking skin with the tiger, especially this person who has intentions against her.

For another person, she might consider signing an agreement to borrow money as a mortgage, but Yuan Jie, that is categorically impossible.

Therefore, Yuan Jie is much worse than his Laozi Yuan Xian, and he Laozi did not directly want to buy Tingxue Building, but through Qian Youbing, the middleman, which is extremely deceptive and confusing.

As for Zhong Guowei's side, he still needs to wait until Xiao Qi meets Zheng Jiayuan before he can make a judgment.

He believed that Xiao Qi would not disappoint him.

Xiao Qi asked Zheng Jiayuan to go to the black market, Xiao Qi took Chen Miao's $1,000 promissory note, if you go to the bank or money bank to exchange it, it will be at most 5,000 silver dollars, but if you go to the underground bank in the black market, it will not be this number.

Shanghai's financial situation is already quite chaotic, the official exchange rate is a set, and there is a set of exchange rates underground, sometimes the difference is huge, but it can exist in parallel, which is not a normal economic phenomenon.

Ordinary people can't get in touch with the underground black market, it's a place where fraud is rampant, and ordinary people who don't have a certain ability to go in, there won't be a bit of bone residue left.

Xiao Qi and Zheng Jiayuan don't count, they are already frequent visitors to the underground black market, where usury is rampant, buying murder, buying and selling contraband is a common thing, all kinds of government-prohibited transactions can be seen here, as long as you want to buy, you can find sellers here, as well as all kinds of intelligence, the black market is also a favorite place for intelligence brokers, it is full of all kinds of people, etc., and there are a lot of foreigners who cross the ocean to pan for gold and adventure.

The number of White Russians active in the black market is the largest, and as long as they can make money, they will do anything.

The black market is not safe, but there is no force that can dominate the black market, everything is based on some conventional rules, and anyone who violates it will be expelled by everyone else, and may never have a chance to enter again.

And Xiao Qi entered the black market, and unless the tail behind him was also qualified to enter, he could only stay outside and wait for him to come out.

Although there are no guards in the black market, anyone can enter, but in some places, only people with status can enter, and if they don't, they can only stay outside.

In a sense, the black market is like a kind of mobile bazaar, where the merchants set up stalls to sell their products at a fixed time and place, and then the people in the vicinity go to the market when the time comes.
