CHAPTER XLIV
Early the next morning, a staff member of the customs was found dead in the office of the General Administration of Customs.
The inspectorate and the secretariat made some investigations, exchanged kind words on the scene, and finally, with the permission of Xia Yeqing, took two customs officers away for questioning.
Bai Xiulin came to Xia Yeqing's office, he was leaning back on the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, Bai Xiulin was not polite, and sat on the chair opposite him by himself.
"Yeqing, this matter is not easy to do, the director of the Supervision Department spoke very politely, it seems to be coming at you, I have a bit of a holiday with him, I can't speak, the secretariat, I can't do anything, you can only go to the prime minister for help." Bai Xiulin said.
Xia Yeqing didn't raise his eyelids, and snorted lazily, "What prime minister are you looking for, there's no need for that, a staff member died, they can check if they want to, and I didn't kill the person, what am I afraid of?" ”
Bai Xiulin was a little anxious, and shook him across the table, "Don't be so lazy, saying that it is a trivial matter, but it alarmed the Supervision Department and the Secretariat, you can think about it casually, and you can also know that someone deliberately poked the matter up, and you have to make up for it if something big happens?" ”
Xia Yeqing laughed a few times, opened his eyes and looked at Bai Xiulin, and said funny: "What to make up for the sky!" I'm not Nuwa. ”
Bai Xiulin sat back in the chair angrily, "I'll tell you seriously, you're good, you don't have a word of truth, if it weren't for Xiaoyue's lifelong happiness, I wouldn't bother to care about you." ”
Xia Yeqing listened to his tone, and seemed to be really angry, so he had to raise his hand in surrender, sit up straight, and said: "Don't worry, it's nothing more than those behind-the-scenes methods, and he doesn't dare to get it on the surface, isn't it just a knife and a gun!" Who's afraid of whom is not certain. ”
"So what are your plans, or do you need me to help you?" Bai Xiulin asked enthusiastically.
Xia Yeqing stretched out a finger and shook it, "There is no plan, wait and see, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth." If you really want to help me, take care of your Su Hanye, just don't let him fall into the well. ”
Bai Xiulin's face turned red and he smacked him lightly, "What nonsense!" He's a big living person, how can I see it? ”
Seeing that Xia Yeqing didn't speak, he only looked at him with a smile, and then lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, he hasn't worked hard recently, although I won't help any of you, but I said that I will do my best on the premise of being your ally and not hurting him." ”
Xia Yeqing smiled and stretched out her hand to him, "Then it's decided, happy cooperation!" ”
Just when everyone thought that this matter would finally be over, a large net was coming towards the summer night.
Early this morning, Xia Yeqing's car had just arrived at the customs, and several cars drove in his direction, blocking Xia Yeqing's car at the customs gate.
Several people got out of the car, Xia Yeqing and Adjutant Zhang also got out of the car, and the people from the Supervision Department and the Secretariat stepped forward with the documents and unfolded them in front of Xia Yeqing's face.
"Chief Xia, this is an investigation order personally signed by the Prime Minister, asking you to suspend you and accept the investigation, please cooperate with our work."
Xia Yeqing's expression changed slightly, and then nodded, "Okay, I'll cooperate, do you need me to go with you, or go to the customs office?" ”
The person from the secretariat said: "No, Chief Xia only needs to return to your Xia Mansion and accept our inquiries and investigations, just start today!" As he spoke, he made a gesture to invite him to get into the car.
Xia Yeqing nodded, turned around and prepared to get into the car, and secretly gave Adjutant Zhang a look, and Adjutant Zhang wanted to sneak away while he was unprepared, but the people from the Supervision Department stopped him.
"Adjutant Zhang, please join us in the investigation, this is an order from above, if you don't cooperate, we are welcome." The tone was more serious than ever.
Xia Yeqing and Adjutant Zhang glanced at each other, their faces sank, it seemed that something big had happened this time, and the prime minister didn't plan to protect them, so he could only ask for more blessings.
said that it was to assist in the interrogation and investigation, but in fact it was similar to interrogation, except that there was no need to be locked up in the police department, and the words were relatively polite, and Xia Yeqing and Adjutant Zhang were questioned separately, for fear that they would collude with each other.
An interrogation lasted until the afternoon, and in the middle of the summer night, Qing was not even in the mood to eat, and only drank water once, for fear that a distraction would invite unnecessary trouble.
At the end of the first day of investigation, before the personnel of the Supervision Department and the Secretariat left, they left two teams of soldiers to guard, one at the door of the house and one at the main gate, and they were not free to enter and exit, and they also cut off the phones of the Xia Mansion, which was equivalent to imprisoning Xia Yeqing and Adjutant Zhang in the Xia Mansion.
Song Lingyue got the news from Bai Xiulin at noon, Bai Xiulin was inconvenient to reveal too much, only said that something was entangled in Xia Yeqing, and it would take a few days to come to her, and then without waiting for her to rush out of the Song Mansion, he directly carried her to his car, forcibly pulled her to the Bai Mansion, locked up on the second floor, and did not allow her to go out for half a step.
For three whole days, Xia Yeqing and Adjutant Zhang were locked up in the Xia Mansion, unable to contact anyone outside, and both of them lost a lot of weight, and they were under tremendous mental pressure and faced collapse.
In the early morning of the fourth day, when the sky was bright, Song Lingyue took advantage of the fact that the people in Baifu had not gotten up, tied the sheets and quilt covers into a rope, and escaped from the room through the window on the second floor.
Song Lingyue ran a long way along the road to the Xia Mansion, only to find a rickshaw that got up early to pull work, and got in the car and went straight to the Xia Mansion.
When she arrived at the Xia Mansion, Song Lingyue was stopped by the soldiers at the door, let her wear out her mouth, these people just didn't let her in, Song Lingyue really couldn't break in, standing outside the gate, shouting Xia Yeqing's name heartbreakingly, hoping that he would come out to see her when he heard it.
A soldier saw that she had such a stubborn temper, pushed her away from the door, and kindly dissuaded: "This young lady, you still don't shout, they are all inside, the doors are closed, I can't hear you shouting, and the people in the mansion are also inside, and you can't come out until the time, unless you go to the Supervision Department and the Secretariat and let them let you go." ”
Song Lingyue saw that he was very enthusiastic, took off the necklace around his neck, handed it to the soldier, and begged: "Brother Bing, I don't know the Supervision Department and the Secretariat, you can do it, let me in and take a look at him, I will come out at a glance, and I will never delay your work, please." ”
The soldier didn't want to accept her things, but the bright diamond chain really made people unable to let go, if it weren't for such an opportunity, a person like him would not be able to afford one in his life, so he secretly put it in his pocket, pulled Song Lingyue's sleeve, and took her aside.
"This young lady, I'll show you a clear path again, you like this, you go to find Commander Wei's son, the soldiers guarding here, except for me, are all his people, if he is willing to give you convenience, it is better than anything else."
Song Lingyue frowned, "Mr. Wei, how could it be his person?" ”
The soldier shook his head, "It's not clear, I only found out after chatting with those people in the past two days, if you have a way, try it, if this path doesn't work, you can only wait for the investigation to be over." After saying this, he hurried back and continued to stand guard.
Song Lingyue saw that she couldn't get in, and when Bai Xiulin found out that she had escaped, she would definitely come to arrest her, and she didn't dare to stay any longer, so she trotted all the way out of the Xia Mansion, found a rickshaw, and returned to the Song Mansion first.
went to the Song Mansion to change her clothes, took all her money and jewelry, and asked the driver to drive straight to Wei Qianfan's mansion on the outskirts of Beijing.
It was also Song Lingyue's luck that she ran into Song Lang and Wei Qianfan when she got out of the car, and she went up to stop the two.
Wei Qianfan was obviously a little surprised when he saw Song Lingyue, "Miss Song, why did you come here to find me?" ”
Song Lingyue didn't care about being polite with him, and said directly: "Mr. Wei, I have something to ask you, the Xia Mansion is surrounded by your soldiers, please help them, let them do it conveniently, let me go in once." As he spoke, he stuffed the money and jewelry he brought to Wei Qianfan.
Wei Qianfan and Song Lang were both stunned, Wei Qianfan hugged the things in his arms, didn't dare to move, and screamed strangely: "Hehe! Little girl, are you trying to bribe me? ”
Seeing this, Song Lang took out the things from his arms one by one, stuffed them back into Song Lingyue's bag, and said with a smile: "Miss Song, it's useless for you to do this, does my young master still lack these things from you?" We have also heard about General Xia's affairs, and as for what you said, the soldiers are all dispatched by the secretariat, and we are afraid that we will not be able to help. ”
When Song Lingyue heard that they refused to help, tears rolled in her eyes, "Then what should I do?" It's been a few days, and Brother Qing will be very scared if he can't see me. ”
Song Lang smiled helplessly, "Miss Song, it's not as serious as you said, Chief Xia is a man after all, so he won't be unable to bear a small investigation." ”
Wei Qianfan raised his hand, "Don't say that, Miss Song and I are friends, and if you can help me, you will help." In this way, I will write a note to Miss Song, and you can show it to the soldiers at the door, they will not embarrass you, but this article can only be used once, and when the Secretariat and the Supervision Department are not there, if it is discovered, I will not be able to eat and walk around. ”
He was willing to help, Song Lingyue was already grateful, and she didn't care if he was a villain, so she bowed to him and thanked him again and again: "Thank you, Mr. Wei, as long as one time is enough, I will definitely be careful, if you need my help in the future, I will definitely do my best." ”
Wei Qianfan smiled, took out a pen from his pocket, took the note handed over by Song Lang, wrote a few strokes on it, and handed the note to Song Lingyue.
"You can take it, but you have to talk about it, and if you need help in the future, you have to do it!"
Song Lingyue took the slip and nodded, "Don't worry, I will do what I say." "Get in the car and leave.
After Song Lingyue left, Wei Qianfan and Song Lang also got into the car, and Song Lang couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, didn't you say that the Song Factory has no use value for you?" Why help her? ”
Wei Qianfan smiled mysteriously, "The factory is worthless, Song Lingyue is valuable!" I heard that she is related to the director of the white hall, and the relationship between the two is very close, the director of the white hall is a wonderful person, and with Song Lingyue, there is no need to worry about not having the opportunity to get close to him. ”
Song Lang's eyes widened in disbelief, "Young Master, do you like Chief Whitehall?" ”
Wei Qianfan squinted at him, "I like it!" Why, can't you? ”
