Chapter 279
What happened in the Liu family was not complicated. Before the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Li Yunsheng sent a telegram to remind Liu Zhongyi that the war was about to break out and asked him to transfer his property.

And Liu Zhongyi also felt that the situation at that time was very tense, so when he got the news, he immediately sold the property outside. However, instead of moving his family to the southwest as Li Yunsheng explained, he purchased a large amount of cotton cloth and other materials and hoarded them in the warehouse. Inside the factory in the concession.

In Liu Zhongyi's heart, he thought that the war would not last very long, so he had some speculative intentions, planning to make a fortune when the war broke out. On the contrary, his family lived in the concession, so there was no problem in terms of safety.

But what surprised Liu Zhongyi was that the Japanese soon occupied most of North China, and the scale of the war was getting bigger and bigger, and they had no intention of stopping at all.

Because of his speculative heart, Liu Zhongyi naturally borrowed a lot of foreign debts, but he did make some money at the beginning of the war, so these foreign debts were naturally not a problem.

But he forgot the truth of what the ancients said about making a big deal. Because of Liu Zhongyi's preparations, he became the largest cloth merchant in Tianjin, and his assets increased a lot, but he was targeted by the Japanese.

The Japanese military came directly to the door, wanting to buy the cloth and other materials in Liu Zhongyi's hands, and the Japanese were always extremely greedy, so the price they gave was naturally very low.

Naturally, Liu Zhongyi would not agree. He has some patriotic feelings, not to mention the extremely low price offered by the Japanese, which would allow him to spend a lot of money with him, so he politely refused.

Since the war just broke out at that time, in order to buy people's hearts, the Japanese military made another suggestion, that is, they could buy them at the market price, but they asked Liu Zhongyi to process the cloth into military uniforms and other items.

If he did this, Liu Zhongyi would become a traitor, so he refused again.

After the Japanese were rejected twice, they naturally knew Liu Zhongyi's hostile attitude towards Japan, so they became furious and said directly that no one was allowed to buy the things of the Liu family. Once the things of the Liu family appeared in the urban area, they would be confiscated by the Japanese army.

As a result, Liu Zhongyi immediately fell into a predicament. After all, he still owes a large amount of foreign debts. If these things cannot be sold, he will naturally go bankrupt. Moreover, the person who lent him the money has also changed at this time after learning about this situation. With such a face, they came to collect debts one after another, so for a while, the members of the Liu family were very worried.

Early the next morning, Liu Qing went to Citibank with her father, Liu Zhongyi, with the house deed and the factory deed.

The president of Citibank personally received the two of them. Since they had already discussed it before, they quickly entered the procedure.

After completing the formalities, the two women left Citibank, and then Liu Qing said, "Father, my daughter has some other matters that need to be dealt with now. You can go home by yourself."

Liu Zhongyi didn't ask any more questions, his mind is now full of family troubles, and his daughter has grown up, so naturally he won't be too restrictive, so he simply said: "Go home early," and then One person left.

As soon as Liu Zhongyi left, Liu Qing called a rickshaw, and then came to a department store. She walked around in it casually, feeling that no one was following her, so she left the department store and got on a public tram.

After getting off the car on Xiafei Road, Liu Qing came to a simple yard and knocked on the door.

In less than a minute, the courtyard door was opened. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his 1s, with a very ordinary appearance and nothing special.

After this person saw Liu Qing, he didn't feel any surprise, and immediately let Liu Qing enter the yard, and it was an agreement at first glance.

After the two entered the room, the middle-aged man immediately said, "How about it, did you succeed in convincing your father?"

Liu Qing nodded, and said softly: "I have already convinced my father, he said he would never seek refuge with the Japanese."

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some excitement: "That's great, Mr. Liu doesn't seek refuge with the Japanese, then this batch of supplies will not fall into the hands of the Japanese, and you have contributed a lot."

Liu Qing said with a smile: "Father didn't want to cooperate with the Japanese, so I was able to persuade him easily." Then he changed the topic and said: "However, our family's current situation is very bad. Not only does it owe a lot of foreign debts, but even The houses and factories have also been mortgaged, and if these things cannot be sold, the whole family will really end up on the streets."

The middle-aged man immediately said, "Don't worry, the organization will find a way to help patriots like Mr. Liu."

Xu Bing said with a sigh: "Comrade Chengde, I am also aware of the organizational situation. It is not easy in the first place. For such a trivial matter in my family, don't bother with the organization. Let father figure out a solution."

The middle-aged man said seriously: "Comrade Liu Qing, helping patriots is not causing trouble to the organization. For every patriot, the organization will go all out to help, not to mention Mr. Liu is your father, so this matter We don't care."

Liu Qing wanted to say something else, but the middle-aged man said again: "Okay, I will discuss this matter with my superiors, and I will do what I can, so you don't have to worry about it. You can come to me again at this time tomorrow."

Liu Qing nodded, then turned and left without saying anything more.

The Japanese wanted to get the cloth in Liu Zhongyi's hands, and the underground party got the news immediately, so the TJ Municipal Committee immediately made a decision to destroy the Japanese plan, and sent Liu Qing to persuade his father, which was also the easiest Method.

The current Liu Qing is also an underground party member. Since she returned to Tianjin, Liu Zhongyi has arranged for her to study at Nankai University. There are many underground party members in Nankai University, and the middle-aged man is one of them.

This person is Liu Qing's teacher. Ever since he saw the positive Liu Qing, he has admired him very much. After encountering several troubles, Liu Qing helped solve them, so he gradually developed Liu Qing into a party member. Become Liu Qing's upline.

Coincidentally, Liu Qing's upline is also an old acquaintance of Li Yunsheng, the main person in charge of the TJ Municipal Committee, Zhao Chengde.

Not long after Deng Liuqing left, Zhao Chengde tidied himself up briefly, then went out, and an hour later, he appeared in a grocery store in downtown SH.

There are two people in the grocery store, one is well dressed, it should be the boss, and the other is dressed in Stoudemire, obviously a buddy.

Seeing Zhao Chengde coming, the two looked at each other and immediately understood what the other meant.

Since there was no one else in the grocery store, the owner of Suyu dragged Zhao Cheng into the room, while the clerk kept wandering around the door, carefully observing the situation outside.

This grocery store is a stronghold of the underground party in Tianjin, and the shopkeeper is Zhao Wentian, the first person in charge of the TJ Municipal Party Committee.

After pulling Zhao Chengde into the room, Zhao Wentian immediately asked, "Why did you come here suddenly? Did Liu Qing have a problem?"

Zhao Chengde immediately said: "Liu Qing has already convinced his father, and according to what she said, Liu Zhongyi had no intention of cooperating with the Japanese, let alone seeking refuge with the Japanese."

Zhao Wentian immediately said: "This is really great. Now that supplies are so tight, it will definitely be very troublesome if Little Japan can't get these things."

Zhao Chengde nodded, and then said again: "But because of this batch of supplies, the Japanese have already started to trouble Liu Zhongyi. Now the Liu family is close to bankruptcy. I think the organization should help."

Zhao Wentian agreed very much and said: "Yes, for such patriots, organizational help should be provided." After thinking for a while, he said in embarrassment: "But now the Japanese have occupied Tianjin and implemented material control. Such a large number Things are still being watched by the Japanese, and no one dares to take over."

Zhao Chengde immediately said: "I was thinking, our army is seriously short of supplies, can we contact the army and ask them to buy some."

Zhao Wentian frowned and said: "The troops are indeed short of everything, but they are even more short of money. They simply can't afford to buy them, and even if they buy something, they can't be shipped out of Tianjin."

Zhao Chengde thought about it, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Is there any comrade in the organization who can talk to foreigners? If you help Liu Zhongyi find a foreign buyer, the problem can be solved."

Zhao Wentian shook his head, and said calmly: "I am very aware of the organizational situation. I can't talk to foreigners at all, and even ordinary foreigners can't do it if they want to transport the cloth out of Tianjin."

Zhao Chengde sighed and said, "Is there nothing we can do? We can't even find anyone who can help."

Zhao Chengde is Liu Qing's teacher and her upline. After more than two years of contact, his relationship is naturally deep, so he really wants to help the Liu family.

As soon as Zhao Chengde finished speaking, Zhao Wentian rolled his eyes, and immediately said with a smile: "We can't help the Liu family, but it doesn't mean that others can't help."

After hearing Zhao Wentian's words, Zhao Chengde was a little puzzled, so he asked, "What does Secretary Wentian mean? Do you have any ideas?"

Zhao Wentian said calmly: "Do you know that the newly established Military Control Bureau has sent people to North China and formed a North China District."

Zhao Chengde shook his head, and said softly: "I don't know about this situation, but what does it have to do with the Liu family's affairs? Could it be that the people in the military command will help the Liu family?"

Zhao Wentian showed a strange expression, and then said with a smile: "Don't you know that our Comrade Liu Qing has a fiancé, and this fiancé can be regarded as a big shot in the Military Control Bureau."

Now that Liu Qing has joined the underground party, it is natural for her to disclose her family situation to the party organization, so as the head of the TJ Municipal Party Committee, Zhao Wentian naturally knows about this situation.

As soon as Zhao Wentian finished speaking, Zhao Chengde asked in bewilderment: "Even so, what can it do? The military command bureau is all in the Kuomintang-controlled area and has no control over Tianjin's affairs. Could it be that his fiancé can come over to help?"
