Lost and Spy

Chapter 1938 The blood of the nation

Meng Shaoyuan didn't go back for several days.

Working in Chongqing, although far less dangerous than Shanghai, is honestly more tiring.

The point is that it is too troublesome to deal with all aspects of the relationship, after all, this is the wartime capital!

"Master, you are back, Madam and Master Qiu have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Oh, the second brother is here too."

The more Meng Shaoyuan heard the title "Master", the more awkward he became.

Anyway, no matter what I ordered, Butler Qiu would never change his words.

As soon as he entered, he saw Cai Xuefei talking with Qiu Shenghe.

Standing beside Qiu Shenghe was Qiu Xingchang.

"Hello sir!"

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan, Qiu Xingchang stood at attention with a "snap".

"You're back." Cai Xuefei stood up: "Second brother has come here twice, but I didn't see you each time. That's why I had to call you. Second brother, you talk, I'll ask someone to prepare meals .”

"Third brother, you daughter-in-law, good!" Qiu Shenghe gave a thumbs up: "You are educated and reasonable, you are indeed from a rich family."

"Second brother, don't praise me." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile, "I have to apologize to you. I have been back to Chongqing for so many days, and I haven't visited you and the old man. By the way, there is also the eldest brother." Over there, they helped me in Chengdu, but I didn't even say thank you."

"Third brother, you will be offended if you say this." Qiu Shenghe said with a smile: "That day, the eldest brother went to my place for dinner, and the old man was there. We talked about you, and we knew you were back. What about the eldest brother, originally It means that he is here to host and invite you to have dinner, but guess what the old man said?
The old man said, you third brother are in a difficult situation now.He has a great reputation in Shanghai, but in Chongqing, I don't know how many people are staring at him.Seriously, he has enemies everywhere.He just returned to Chongqing, so he had to straighten out these matters first and gain a firm foothold.So, now we can't bother him.

As a result, after finishing these words, something happened between you and Zhongtong.Then it was Chengdu.The old man said again, talking about you, this time it worked.He also said, you are a person who has experienced at the forefront, those who are in the rear all day, how can they fight you?Even the Japanese are afraid of you, those people in the central government are not your opponents, and will be defeated by you sooner or later! "

Meng Shaoyuan also laughed: "If you want to say it, the old man has great wisdom!"

"It's done, let's get down to business." Qiu Shenghe changed the subject: "You asked us to stop the smuggling immediately. The information is so accurate. As soon as we stopped, the government started to deal with the smuggling. Those who didn't get the news, They all suffered a lot of losses.”

Meng Shaoyuan smiled lightly.

Otherwise, how can we say that government and business collusion must do things?
"However, it's not a problem to continue to stop."

Qiu Shenghe's tone was a little worried: "First, we have losses, after all, there are so many goods. Second, it has only been a few days since the ban on smuggling. There are different shortages in Chongqing and CD markets. Many daily necessities Unable to buy, the price of rice and other items has risen outrageously, and the citizens are complaining."

"Brother, do you think this is strange?" Meng Shaoyuan said in a deep voice, "Smuggling is necessary to stabilize the market and stabilize prices? Smuggling has caused great damage to the country's economy, but once smuggling is stopped now, the whole situation will be out of control .What kind of thing is this?"

"War, isn't it all the cause of war?" Qiu Shenghe sighed: "What's outside can't get in, and what's inside can't get out. All supplies are given priority to the military. Since last year, famines have been frequent in various places, and the government There is nothing we can do for disaster relief, and we can only rely on the local government to solve the problem. As a result, Chongqing's supplies cannot be guaranteed, which is undoubtedly worse.

If we don't smuggle, then everything will be messed up.Speaking of it, I myself feel absurd. When did a smuggler become so tall?Shouldn't that be sued and jailed?The government knows this clearly, but it can only turn a blind eye. "

"So, the ban on smuggling won't be too long this time." Meng Shaoyuan interjected, "The government is well aware that the commissioner is angry not at smuggling, but at smuggling materials that shouldn't be smuggled. Second brother, once smuggling resumes , I still say the same thing, don’t touch things that shouldn’t be touched, otherwise, I won’t be able to keep us.”

"Don't worry, we won't touch the materials controlled by the national strategy." Qiu Shenghe nodded, "I'm here this time to see you, and to ask when smuggling will resume. The thing is for the children."

"Oh, really?" Meng Shaoyuan glanced at Qiu Xingchang.

"Sir." Qiu Xingchang stood up straight: "I ask the commander to use his connections to let me join the expeditionary force."

"Expeditionary Army? You?" Meng Shaoyuan was taken aback.

"Yes, sir!" Qiu Xingchang said loudly: "The staff are also revolutionary soldiers. The country is broken and the nation is in peril, but the staff is enjoying the comfort in the rear. This is not a revolutionary spirit! The staff learned that our national government formed an expeditionary force, Going to Burma to fight, the Ministry of Staff requests to join!"

Since Qiu Xingchang was sent back to Chongqing, he has been in charge of smuggling. It is really comfortable that the wind and rain cannot be blown.

But he is still an official registered agent of the Military Command Bureau!
Which young man has no blood?
"Second brother, what do you mean?"

"He is an adult, he can decide for himself."

"Second brother, be careful." Meng Shaoyuan knew the situation of the expeditionary army best: "Your Qiu family only has an only son like Xingchang. The expeditionary army went to Burma and fought bloody battles for days. I really don't care about his safety."

"Third brother, listen to me." Qiu Shenghe said slowly: "I, Qiu Shenghe, only have such a precious son. When he joined the Fuxing Society, I disagreed, and the old man also disagreed. He ran away quietly. to hangzhou.

A good iron doesn't make nails, a good man doesn't serve as a soldier, let's live a good life, but what kind of soldier are you going to be, and even a secret agent?So, this made me and the old man very angry.

You transferred him back. My Qiu family is very grateful to you. I thought he would stay in Chongqing.But now, everyone who has a bit of conscience is doing their best for the war of resistance. My Qiu family is a giant businessman, but my Qiu family is also Chinese!
The children in our family are precious, are the children of other families not precious?During the Anti-Japanese War, we people in Sichuan asked for money and people, and millions of Sichuan troops fought bloody battles. Could it be that my son, Qiu Xingchang, was the only one who could avoid the war in fear of death?
Third brother, second brother never begged you, but today I beg you to send him to the expeditionary army.If he comes back alive, the Qiu family will hand it over to him in the future.If he dies for his country, I will help him personally! "

"Second Brother, Second Brother!" Meng Shaoyuan's eyes were a little moist: "I'll do it right away. With people like Second Brother here, the War of Resistance will surely be won!"

This is the blood of the Chinese people and a nation!
