Lost and Spy

Chapter 1565 Braided Handsome Wealth
Meng Bofeng finally met Manya whom he had been thinking about for so many years!
Is this the Manya I know?

Skinny and pale.

A handkerchief lay aside, already soaked red.

Is that the blood that Manya coughed up?
"Manya."

Meng Bofeng felt sad for a while.

Manya recognized who this person was at a glance: "Dushan, Dushan, you are here, you are old."

With a cry of "crossing the mountain", Meng Baifeng almost burst into tears.

"Manya, what's wrong with you?"

Manya didn't seem too scared: "I got sick a few years ago, and I haven't been optimistic about it. At the end of last year, I really couldn't do it. I went to Shanghai to see a doctor, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get out this time."

"No, no." Meng Bofeng said repeatedly: "I will take you to a better hospital, and I will definitely help you look after it."

"Don't waste time, I'm not afraid." Manya said calmly: "After so many years, I should have died long ago."

After all these years, I should have died.

How desperate has Manya been in these years?

"I am very happy that you can come to see me."

Manya coughed violently again.

Meng Bofeng hurriedly took out the handkerchief and handed it over.

Manya vomited a mouthful of blood, and asked Meng Bofeng to feed herself a few sips of hot water, which made her spirit better:
"Dushan, you came just in time. I must tell you something."

"Let's talk after you've cultivated yourself."

"No, it's too late if you don't say anything."

Manya's expression was a little anxious: "In the sixth year of the Republic of China, Braid Commander Zhang Xun went to Beijing to restore the restoration, and the restoration only lasted for a total of ten days before it failed casually.

When Zhang Xun was in Nanjing before, he plundered and looted, and he himself got 2000 million yuan.Germany supported his restoration plan and secretly loaned him 2000 million yuan.

During the Thirteen Provinces Alliance, Zhang Xun made another 3000 million yuan.Therefore, even if the restoration failed and he fled to Tianjin as an apartment, his movable and immovable properties combined totaled 6000 to [-] million yuan! "

How could Zhang Xun be mentioned suddenly?

Meng Bofeng listened patiently to Manya's words:

"That's not counting. When he was restored, he asked the Qing imperial family for funding on the grounds of military expenditures. The Qing imperial family had no choice but to take out 100 million yuan."

When the Manchu emperor abdicated, there was such a clause in the regulations on preferential treatment of the royal family that the royal family was given 4 million taels of silver every year, which was allocated by the government of the Republic of China.

At that time, the objects and cultural relics of the royal family and daily necessities such as silk tables and chairs in the palace were classified as private property of the royal family, and the abdicated emperor at that time still lived in the Forbidden City.

Therefore, all items in the Forbidden City are still privately owned by the royal family, but some money on the surface belongs to the Republic of China.

Therefore, rumors spread among the people that the royal family inherited hundreds of millions of property.

The government of the Republic of China made a very big mistake, that is, it did not distinguish the cultural relics in the palace from the private property of the royal family. The collections in the Forbidden City are the most valuable cultural relics.

These things are very valuable. Most of these cultural relics come from folk looting, so in fact the most valuable things are still kept in the palace.

Soon the government of the Republic of China discovered this major problem.

In December 1912, some officials pointed out that the reselling of various cultural relics in the palace was very serious. They hoped that President Yuan Da could sort out all the cultural relics, transport them to BJ, and hand them over to the museum for collection.

President Yuan Da then approved the proposal.

From 1913 to 1914, the government of the Republic of China transported many cultural relics collections from the various palaces and handed them over to the museum.

And what Manya said next is also related to these cultural relics:
"Zhang Xun was very dissatisfied when he saw that the royal family only took out 100 million yuan. In the short ten days in Beiping, Zhang Xun successively shipped out a large number of collections in the Forbidden City and some cultural relics in the museum, and mortgaged them to ABN Amro.

The total mortgage for this batch of goods was 1000 million taels of silver, and the Dutch bank couldn't afford that much money for a while, so it had to cooperate with other banks to raise funds.

Zhang Xun's restoration failed, and he hid in the Dutch embassy for a long time. During this time, the Dutch Bank sent him a check for 1000 million taels of silver.The Dutch are fairly trustworthy. "

"What credit are you talking about?" Meng Bofeng sneered, "It's nothing more than a fantasy that Zhang Xun still has great influence and old ministry at the request of the Dutch embassy."

"You are always so unforgiving." Manya smiled: "Zhang Xun was about to escape from Beiping, and worried that it would be unsafe to carry this check on him, so he entrusted one of his fellow countrymen to take it back to his hometown Fengxin, Jiangxi. go.

This fellow was surnamed Li and had been with Zhang Xun for many years. Zhang Xun trusted him very much and treated him like his brother.You probably also know that Zhang Xun has always taken care of his fellow villagers. "

Meng Bofeng couldn't help but nodded.

Zhang Xun had a strong sense of hometown, which was widely known at the time.

After he made his fortune, he missed the elders in his hometown, and Zhang Xun gave away a big tile house to each of the fellows in his hometown Chitian Village. If there is anything missing, Zhang Xun will take care of it.

During the period of the Republic of China, Zhang Xun, a Jiangxi native who studied in BJ, gave scholarships to all of them.

As for the college students in Fengxin County, all expenses for food and clothing are covered by Zhang Xun.

He donated money to build a guild hall in Beiping, and subsidized Jiangxi students and poor people in Beijing. Shao Shiping, Xu Deheng, the first high-ranking officials of JX Province, etc. had all received funding.

In addition, in Fengxin, he also used the grain money to help local disaster victims, orphans and widows.

"However, Zhang Xun was wrong this time. This man surnamed Li, with a check, disappeared!"

After panting for a while, Manya continued: "Zhang Xun was furious, but at that time he had already lost power, so he sent a group of people to search everywhere.

In the past few years, the huge sum of money in the Dutch bank was stolen several times. Zhang Xun's people followed this clue and found this person surnamed Li, but he was already dead at that time.

Further investigations revealed that he had a son who disappeared two years ago, and the clues were completely cut off.By chance, I saw Li Mingda in Shanghai! "

"This Li Mingda is that person's son?" Meng Bofeng blurted out, "And you, are you from Zhang Xun?"

"That's right, I was sent by Zhang Xun." Manya smiled bitterly: "My mission is to find this wealth. I went all the way to Shanghai and met Li Mingda. I thought he looked like the son of a close friend named Li, but I Not sure."

"I introduced Li Mingda to you!"

Meng Baifeng had just finished speaking, but Manya had already smiled bitterly: "Yes, I should really thank you, the appearance of the son of Li's confidant, we pieced it together through various investigations, so I'm not sure if he is.

Zhang Xun's kindness to me was as great as a mountain, and I had to repay him, so after thinking about it, I gritted my teeth and simply married Li Mingda, in order to find out the truth.Du Shan, I have never loved this man. "

Meng Bofeng didn't know what to say when he heard this!
