So far, I don't know how other people feel about Xu Pei, but Gu Qingzhou feels confused.

This kind of fog, just like the death of Pei Jie and Hu qiao'er, was in Gu Qingzhou's mind.

Why did Xu Pei commit suicide?

Not only Gu Qingzhou wants to know, but also Singaporean Chinese who have paid close attention to the Xu family case want to know, so there are all kinds of speculation and rumors.

It's said that Xu Pei was very depressed and had the idea of suicide many times, but this time he just made it.

"The Ruan family should not want others to know that the eldest lady is ill?" Gu Qingzhou asked Gu Shao.

Gu Shao said: "naturally, people don't want to know. Some people have come to the door these days, and they have been rejected. "

"I'll see her when she's better." Gu Qingzhou road.

Gu Shaoze said: "don't go. Pretend you don't know."

After he left, Gu Qingzhou sat alone for a long time.

She thought of people's comments on Xu Pei and wondered if he really committed suicide.

She even thought, in the case of Pei Jie, who wants to involve Si qiongzhi? But in Xu Pei's case, Si qiongzhi seems to have been involved again.

From the beginning to the end, the shadow of the word "conspiracy" never dissipated, but gradually showed a bloody smell.

"Three people died, and they all came from Nanjing. It's so dense, it's not normal. " Gu Qingzhou thought.

She planned to go to see Si qiongzhi and ask about Xu Pei. Suddenly, the adjutant came in and said that she had received a telegram.

Gu Qingzhou's thoughts quickly turned back.

She went to read the telegram and translated it herself.

It was sent to her by Si Xingyi.

Gu Qingzhou watched, his face could not help floating a happy look, and even surprise.

"Abba, Si Xingyi succeeded." Gu Qingzhou hurried to the commander's side and sent a telegram to the commander. "He found fire oil in that mine."

The commander was reading an old book when he heard that his eyes were raised: "let me have a look..."

GU Qingzhou presented the telegram with both hands.

After watching it, the commander showed a rare smile.

"Si Xingyi is coming back, and so is his uncle." Gu Qingzhou said with a smile.

Several years ago, Si Xingpei discovered a desert island occupied by pirates, which is about two-thirds of the size of Singapore. It is a huge island.

The desert island is about four or five days' sea voyage from Singapore, and the plane takes ten hours to arrive. Since the Ming Dynasty, it has been a haven for pirates, as people all over the world know.

The Japanese wanted to clear it several times, considering that the desert island deviated from the sea route and had little development value, and because all the pirates gathered and had no resources to plunder, they gave up.

Other European countries in the Far East have their own regions, which are rich enough to satisfy them, and no one is willing to waste their time reclaiming wasteland.

So far, the desert island is still occupied by pirates.

Si Xingyi's uncle has been in Nanyang for many years, and he has long been familiar with pirates.

A few years ago, Si Xinghe knew about the island. He wanted to occupy it and build his own city. Later, he considered that the process of building a new city was too complicated and slow.

He wants to live a normal life of seclusion with his family, that is, to live in the city rather than to be a barbarian on a desert island.

He can. How can he bear his boat to suffer like that?

After giving up the plan to develop it, Si Xingyi's mind shifted.

But his uncle and there mix familiar, found a clue.

He told Si Xinghe: "there may be fire oil underground. Ah Yi, I think oil is very important. Cars, trains and cruise ships all need oil. In the future, the world will definitely use airplanes, which will consume more fuel.

Besides airplanes and cars, do you know what powerful weapons there will be in war? If you want to develop the military industry and other machinery industries, all you need is kerosene.

Kerosene is the "water" of machinery related industries in the future. Water is one's life, but kerosene is the lifeblood! "

After hearing this, Si Xingpei was shocked.

He was one of the first people in China to own airplanes. Only he knew how much oil his airplanes would consume. However, there are only two oil fields in China, and fire oil has to be transported from abroad.

Every time the cost, so that the rich division seat can be meat pain.

He has a military base, and he knows the value of kerosene to industrial production.

As his uncle said, that's the lifeblood!

Huaxia is as big as two oil wells.

If he finds fire oil on the desert island, he can hold down the lifeline of one side, and the whole Nanyang will be affected by him.

It's a big deal.

If this is done, the family will not have to be controlled by others for three generations. Any government should curry favor with the family, be afraid of the family, and give itself enough respect.

They can live in seclusion and have dignity at the same time, which is what the secretary wants.

He told the governor about it.The commander-in-chief of the Department heard about it, but actually he didn't agree with it very much, because kerosene is a powerful weapon of the country. He can't keep it without heavy troops. He was too fanciful.

"Since you think there is fire oil there, you should stay as an official and send someone to mine it. Neither father nor son can withdraw." Governor's road.

But Si Xingpei said, "I'm ready already, and I'm not going to make it public. What's more, the navy fleet of Yuecheng was run by our father and son, and I'm going to take it away.

When I get to Singapore, I will send people to Britain to bribe the Parliament and the governor's office of Singapore to turn my naval fleet into hired guards. "

The British have always used Singapore as a transit station. Although there are abundant rubber and tin industries here, the place is too small and the resources are too few, far less than India.

This is the hub connecting Britain and India.

Outside Singapore's seaport, there is a huge fleet. However, all these require the military expenditure of the parliament.

There will be corruption in the government.

Singapore is far away from Asia. As long as we dredge the relationship between the governor's office and buy off the parliament, we can make them turn a blind eye and replace their fleet with a hired fleet, which will save a huge sum of military expenditure.

This kind of heavy interest can certainly move people's minds.

As long as we turn our naval fleet into a legitimate employment fleet of Singapore, the fire oil of Si Xingyi can be transported secretly without being aware of it.

That's his plan.

"Why don't you work hard in Nanjing?" The governor of the Department scolded the Secretary for running.

Si Xingyi said: "it's too hard, too tired. Staying in Nanjing is like floating on the sea. The two oars in my hand have to keep rowing. They have no end and can't stop.

Going to Singapore is like climbing a mountain. Although it's much harder than rowing, you don't need to work any more after you get on it. Your children and grandchildren will be able to climb the mountain for generations.

Do you think it will be ok if the government is unified? To be honest, it is estimated that it will not stop in the next decade or so. However, the huoyou line will be completed in three years, and it will be seamless, so that we can enjoy peace in the future. "

It took a long time for Si Xingyi to persuade the governor.

Si dujun is a soldier. The military government is different from the big government in Nanjing. He is old and tired.

He was a little moved by what Si Xingpei said.

In the end, Si Xingyi carried out his grandson and family, and the governor made a compromise.

As the governor of the Department said, what he did in Singapore was "lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame".

However, it's not a great pity that watermelon lost the commander's father and son. After all, they have long wanted to retire. If they can find sesame seeds, the future situation in Nanyang will be a good harvest.

Sesame also has value.
