Chapter 537: Writers Matter(1/2)
There are those traitors who are troubled.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to welcome the God of Wealth, Meng Shaoyuan worked non-stop and "visited" seven traitors one after another. He threatened and intimidated the traitors, and all offered prices of US$200,000.
He also knew they couldn't take it out.
But that is not important. What is important is to make these traitors bankrupt and let them know that to be a traitor, you must have the consciousness to be a traitor.
The Japanese masters behind them could not protect them.
In this great Shanghai, it is he, Meng Shaoyuan, who has the final say.
I was busy until nightfall.
Ye Rong spent a day with Meng Shaoyuan and seemed a little tired.
But still very interested.
At least today, she saw a different way of working.
Meng Shaoyuan was also a little tired. He looked at the time and sent Ye Rong back to where he lived.
The nearby environment is pretty good.
Next door is a bar owned by Jews, with the flattering words "Japanese Welcome" prominently written on the door.
A fat Jewish woman was soliciting business at the door.
Everything is for survival.
As I drove back to my work, I saw Mrs. Qiangwei's car parked outside.
What happened again?
As soon as he walked in, Butler Qiu, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Meng, our wife has invited you, and I have been waiting here for you for more than two hours..."
…
In Qiangwei Mansion, Cai Xuefei was chatting with a thin and elegant middle-aged man wearing round-rimmed glasses.
As soon as she saw Meng Shaoyuan come in, Cai Xuefei smiled and asked him to sit down: "Mr. Li Jin, this is Boss Meng Shaoyuan and Meng."
"Hello, Boss Meng." Li Jin greeted politely.
"Shaoyuan, this is Mr. Li Jin, the editor-in-chief of 'Liaoyuan' magazine."
Li Jin?
Isn't he the great writer who wrote the famous trilogy?
Meng Shaoyuan still respected these people very much.
"Boss Meng." Li Jin said, "The films you showed at the Grand Guangming Cinema exposed the ugly face of Japan and presented the truth to the public. I admire them very much."
You're not here to interview me, are you?
But Meng Shaoyuan soon realized that he had thought too much.
"Shaoyuan, that's what happened." Cai Xuefei said it out: "After the fall of Shanghai, the National Government moved westward, and some people in the literary and art circles also left Shanghai and went northward. But including Mr. Li Jin, there are still many people
They did not leave, because they felt that fighting on the isolated island in the Shanghai Public Concession was no less than fighting on the front line, so they decided to stay and fight the Japanese with their pens!"
Well, the power of a pen is sometimes as powerful as an army.
"Recently, we received a telegram." Li Jin interfaced: "In March, the 'All-China Literary and Art Circles Resist the Enemy Association' will be established in Wuhan, and the 'All-China Literary and Art Circles Resist the Enemies Declaration' will be issued on that day, inviting those of us who are still here
People from the literary and artistic circles in Shanghai are participating. I think this is a very influential thing, so I discussed it with my colleagues who are still in Shanghai. We must go to Wuhan, but..."
"But it's not easy to leave Shanghai." Meng Shaoyuan quickly understood the other party's intention: "Especially you people in the literary and art circles are more likely to attract the attention of the Japanese side, so you want to ask me to help you leave Shanghai?"
"Yes, yes." Li Jin nodded.
"How many people are there in total?"
"Forty-five people."
Good guy, there are really quite a lot of people here.
However, this is a good thing.
Unite all people from all walks of life who can unite to fight against Japan.
"Let's do this, I'll help you find a way." Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a while: "Leaving collectively, the goal is too big, it will easily arouse the alert of the Japanese and cause trouble. I will send you away in batches to ensure that you can participate in the conference on time.
"
"Thank you, thank you, Boss Meng, I really appreciate it." Li Jin said repeatedly.
Cai Xuefei smiled slightly: "I said that if we find Boss Meng, we can definitely find a solution. Mr. Li Jin, you should also talk to Boss Meng about that matter."
Anything else?
"That's right, Boss Meng." Li Jin hesitated: "I have a friend who came to Shanghai recently. Because he was not familiar with this place, he was arrested by the patrol room."
It's a small thing.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "What's the name of your friend? Which jailer caught him?"
"His name is Guo Junian, and he was arrested by the Jing'an Temple prison."
"Jing'an Temple Prison Prison, Detective Ross's place." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Well, I'm going to the Jing'an Temple Prison Prison tomorrow to do some work. I'll help you release that friend by the way."
"That simple?"
Li Jin was doubtful.
Rescue someone from the arrest room. Meng Shaoyuan looked at it lightly and didn't take it to heart at all? He didn't even ask why the other person was arrested?
"Mr. Li Jin, don't worry." Cai Xuefei saw his worries: "Boss Meng is very capable in Shanghai. It's not as difficult as imagined to save someone from the patrol room."
"Boss Meng, thank you very much."
Li Jin said quickly.
"It's done. If there's nothing else, let's do it." Meng Shaoyuan looked at the time and said, "I'm really tired after running all day today. I'll go back and rest first and wait for my letter."
…
Early in the morning, Meng Shaoyuan went to Jing'an Temple to capture the house.
The British Inspector Ross is quite good. Firstly, he is more sympathetic to the Chinese people's plight. Secondly, of course, it is because of the alliance of interests.
Meng Shaoyuan was familiar with the road and walked straight into Ross's office.
Ross looked like he hadn't slept well yesterday, holding a cup of coffee and yawning nonstop.
"Ha, Meng, my friend." As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan, Ross immediately perked up: "I didn't go to bed until early in the morning yesterday. I originally wanted to catch up on my sleep in the morning, but when I saw you, I lost all fatigue."
"I'm afraid you've seen this." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and patted the leather bag he was carrying.
Then, he took out a thick envelope from his wallet: "This month's."
Ross took the envelope with a smile, and it was all money.
This is a share of smuggling profits.
"The whole people participated in the vigorous smuggling campaign."
This is the slogan put forward by Meng Shaoyuan.
Most of the detectives from the patrol room joined in.
They escorted Meng Shaoyuan's smuggling team to ensure a smooth journey.
In return, Meng Shaoyuan would give them a portion of his smuggling profits every month.
It makes sense that Meng Shaoyuan was so "loved" by the patrolmen in the public concession.
You may not love Meng Shaoyuan, but you cannot help loving his money.
"I'm going to expand the scale even more." Meng Shaoyuan sat down and lit a cigarette: "By the end of March, the scale of smuggling can be at least doubled."
That means you can get more money.
Ross knew very well what this meant: "Meng, no matter what help you need from me, I will not look back. You have to know that it is not just smuggling, but also other aspects. On the Sino-Japanese issue, we have received orders
, you are not allowed to express your own opinions, and you are not allowed to take sides, but both myself and Mr. Police Commissioner are very sympathetic to China."
"I know, you are all my friends." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Among friends, everyone earns money and shares benefits. By the way, I still need your help with a little thing."
"You are too kind, my friend, your business is my business."
"Has your arresting room captured a man named Guo Junian?"
"Guo Junian?" Detective Ross frowned: "Ah, yes, yes, I caught him myself. We conducted a routine inspection on the street and found some black market drugs in this man's box."
Drug smuggler?
How could a writer like Li Jin have such friends?
"It's not just that." Inspector Ross continued: "We took him to the arresting room. Originally, to deal with such smugglers, we confiscated his medicine and locked him up for a few more days. We searched him and found
A hotel room key, you know the procedure, we must check it out, and guess what we found in the hotel room?"
"What?"
