Shadow Spy

Chapter 298 How to deal with Sheng Laosi
The next day, news came from Wang Renqiang that Chen Gongshu from Shanghai District found him and claimed that Boss Dai asked him to intercede with the Concession Police Station and release the arrested persons and goods from the Kuomintang...

After listening to this, Li Junhao laughed angrily. These people, they want people without telling them, but they also want goods. Although the smoke has been burned, there are other smuggled goods, weapons, and industries. Compared with the Anglo-Dutch East, As far as Indian companies are concerned, they seem to be too ignorant, so they don't bother to care about them.

The Youth Gang sent people to appeal to the first deputy chief of the police, Berry Weber. Their demands were similar to those of the Kuomintang, and they were also wishful thinking.

The Japanese side, which suffered huge losses this time, couldn't even find anyone to intercede!Now everyone knows that Mr. Pan Sen does not like the Japanese. How can anyone in the concession dare to accept the request to get into trouble with the boss! ——
On this day, the Criminal Court began to hear the case involving Hong Chai Shantang. This time it was faster. It only took two days to complete the trial, and the verdict was made on the third day!This time it was even worse, as many as 115 people were sentenced to death, and more than a hundred people were all sentenced to severe sentences of more than ten years, and none of them were released!
Moreover, the Criminal Tribunal announced that the so-called "Hwazhong Hongji Shantang" is an out-and-out cigarette and soil smuggling organization that seriously violated concession regulations, so it was classified as an illegal organization and resolutely banned and cracked down on. Its chief offender Li Ming (Japanese) Satomi Hiro) and more than a dozen principal criminals who are still at large have issued a wanted order!
When the news came out, the citizens of course applauded, but other forces had different ideas. Those who were pro-Japanese were of course more hostile to the concession authorities than the Japanese, while those on the anti-Japanese side couldn't help but worry about the concession. Worried that the Japanese would take retaliatory measures.

Later, someone noticed that among the prisoners sentenced to death, the number one criminal was actually Sheng Laosi!Now, many people can't sit still!
Sheng Laosi, whose real name is Sheng Enyi, is the fourth son of Sheng Xuanhuai. He turned to the Japanese and became a traitor. Of course, it is extremely abominable, but for Sheng Xuanhuai's sake, many people feel that Sheng Laosi cannot be killed!
Sheng Xuanhuai (November 1844, 11 - April 4, 1916), courtesy name Xingsun, was a native of Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture, JS Province.An official in the late Qing Dynasty, a scholar, a government-run businessman, a comprador, a representative of the Westernization movement, a famous politician, entrepreneur and philanthropist, known as the "Father of Chinese Industry", "Father of Chinese Business" and "Father of Chinese Higher Education" , is an indispensable and important figure in the modern history of China.

Sheng Xuanhuai experienced a legendary life, made extraordinary achievements, and had a huge influence. He is famous at home and abroad and will be passed down to future generations.Now, although he has passed away for more than [-] years, his influence in China's political and business circles is still huge.

Therefore, when they heard that his fourth son Sheng Enyi was sentenced to death, many people who had been favored by Sheng Xuanhuai or admired him couldn't sit still!
Although Sheng Enyi is the fourth child, his three elder brothers have all died young, and he is the actual eldest among the children of the Sheng family. He has always been a playboy, and his relationship with his younger siblings is not very good. Moreover, after the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, he and the Japanese He co-operated Hongji Shantang and served as a director of the Japanese-run Huazhong Hydropower Company. He became a traitor and was despised by his brothers and sisters.

Previously, he was arrested during an anti-gang operation in the concession. His siblings were not even willing to take care of him, thinking that it would be better to let him suffer. But when they heard that he was sentenced to death, they couldn't sit still and started to stir up family relations. Perform a rescue.

Sheng Enyi has many younger brothers and sisters, and some of them are quite powerful. His fifth brother Sheng Zhongyi currently runs a Bank of China company in the Bund of the Concession. He is engaged in the financial industry and real estate industry. He has strong assets and is a well-known tycoon.

His seventh brother Sheng Shengyi had a close relationship with the Kong and Song families of the Kuomintang. Before the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the director of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui Taxation Bureau of the Kuomintang government, in charge of taxation in Jiangnan; after the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, he went to Chongqing and served as the director of Huafu Yan. Chairman of the company, the "Huafu" cigarettes produced are sold all over the country and are currently the number one brand in China.

Her fifth sister, Sheng Guanying, has a close relationship with the Song sisters. Before the Song family became prosperous, the eldest Song sister once served as her tutor, and they have frequent contact with each other to this day.

His biological sister, Sheng Aiyi, one of the two famous Seven Misses in Shanghai, was Song Ziwen's lover. She later married her mother, Mrs. Zhuang's nephew Zhuang Zhujiu, at the age of 32.She allocated 60 taels of silver from her inheritance to build the Paramount Ballroom in Shanghai, which was praised by the outside world as "the No. [-] Music House in the Far East", and later sold and transferred it.Although Sheng Enyi himself was a playboy and prodigal, he still had certain talents in business. He had a lot of property and many connections. Even when the Song family was not in power, Song Ziwen worked for him as his secretary.

The relationship between the family members should not be underestimated, and soon the pressure was passed on.
-
On Friday, April 4, just as I got to work in the morning, a telegram from the Chongqing Embassy was sent. Acting Consul General Sheehan knew that he could not control Pan Sen's affairs, so he sent someone to deliver the telegram to the headquarters.

The telegram was sent by the embassy attaché Colonel Bao Ruide. It stated that Kong Xiangxi, the executive director of the National Government, and Song Ziwen, chairman of the Bank of China, met with him yesterday and asked him to help rescue Sheng Enyi, who was sentenced to death. He hoped that Pan Sen would consider this matter carefully... ...Although there was no commanding tone, his attitude was very firm, as if he had to let go.

Li Junhao really wanted to ignore him, but he couldn't. Kong and Song had both expressed their opinions. These two families were fully capable of influencing the attitude of the Kuomintang government. Bao Ruide's words also made sense - one person could not influence the two countries. Relationship.

However, he had previously promised to let a group of legal professionals headed by Zheng Yue rule impartially. Wouldn't it be a slap in his face if he stepped forward to let Sheng Laosi go?Moreover, he can be sure that if he really does this, Zheng Yue and others will probably leave with their titles hanging!
At this moment, the guard came to report that two guests were visiting outside the military camp. The names written on the greeting cards were Sheng Zhongyi and Sheng Aiyi. They were from the Sheng family!

To be honest, Li Junhao was still very interested in Sheng Xuanhuai's descendants, so he asked Xiao Yu to bring them in.

After a while, two middle-aged men, a man and a woman, wearing Western-style dresses, came to the reception room. The man was in his late fifties, wearing a hand-made light gray suit, looking like a shrewd businessman;

The lady looked to be less than forty years old, with a delicate face. She was wearing a white cheongsam with blue flowers and a beige windbreaker, but she had a somewhat strong temperament.

Out of politeness, Li Junhao stood up to greet him, but did not leave the door. With his current status, this was enough, even if Song Ziwen came.
