Chapter Ninety-Seven, Wind and Rain
A black car stopped in front of the Dayu Chamber of Commerce on Nanjing Road, and saw a young man wearing a Japanese military uniform get out of the car and walk in with vigorous steps.
"Excuse me, Your Excellency Shaozuo, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I'm Akagi Jingji of the gendarmerie, I want you to report it, I see Young Master Xiao!"
Ah Cheng nodded with doubts and worries in his eyes after listening, this Japanese suddenly visited the Dayu Chamber of Commerce, and saw that there were some people who were not good at it, so he carefully brought Akagi Jingji to Xiao Shan's room on the second floor, Xiao Shan looked at Akagi Jingji in front of him, hurriedly put down the work at hand, and got up with a smile and came to Akagi Jinger's side.
"Akagi-kun, you don't have to make a phone call, I'll treat you well!"
"Xiao Shanjun, you are polite, just to tell you something, I am afraid that the people below will collide with you, so I will come in person!"
Ah Cheng saw that the two of them seemed to be friends who had known each other for a long time, so he also let go of his inner worries and went out, Xiao Shan warmly beckoned Akagi Jingji to sit down and looked at Akagi Jingji.
"I don't know, is there anything important about Akagi-kun's personal visit?"
"Actually, it's not an important matter, it's just an order from His Excellency Yingzuo to inform you, don't cooperate with the eight newspapers of Damei Evening News, Zhongmei Daily, Da Evening News, British Evening News, Zhengyan Daily, Shanghai Declaration Agency, Miller's Review Daily, and Zhongying Daily in the future!"
After hearing this, Xiao Shan had a strong doubt in his heart, and looked at Chimujing Erdao in surprise.
"Why is that, is it something that happened?"
"I'm afraid you don't know yet, the editors-in-chief of these eight newspapers all disappeared last night, and their newspaper offices were all burned down, and now our gendarmerie has been ordered to investigate this case, and His Excellency Shadow Zuo has now closed down these eight newspapers in order to solve the case as soon as possible!"
Xiao Shan was shocked after hearing this, the editors-in-chief of eight newspapers disappeared overnight, and they were burned by the fire, who did this, so Xiao Shan blurted out.
"Akagi-kun, have you investigated who did it now?"
Akagi Jingji listened to Xiao Shan's surprised and shocked words, the corners of his smug mouth turned up slightly, and then looked at Xiao Shan Dao mysteriously.
"Xiao Shanjun, you will know this tonight, okay, remember what I said, don't cooperate with these eight newspapers in the future, let's meet in detail in Mingyue Pavilion in the evening, I still have official business, so I won't bother you!"
After Akagi Jingji finished speaking, he got up, Xiao Shan watched Akagi Jingji get up, suppressed the doubts in his heart and got up to send him off, and after sending Akagi Jingji away, Agui greeted him and looked at Xiao Shan Dao worriedly.
"Young master, who is this Japanese officer?"
"He, he is the captain of the Japanese Shanghai Military Police, Akagi Iji, by the way, Uncle Acheng, in the future, our cooperation with the Shanghai Declaration Agency will be canceled, and there are seven newspapers, such as the Great American Evening News, the Zhongmei Daily, the Great Evening News, the British Evening News, the Zhengyan Daily, the Miller's Commentary, and the Sino-British Daily, don't consider cooperation, it seems that overnight last night, Shanghai was surging!"
Xiao Shan watched the two of them finish speaking and turned to leave, Ah Gui looked at the back of Xiao Shan leaving, listening to what Xiao Shan said just now, his eyes also flashed with deep worry.
When I returned to the newspaper office in the summer, I looked at the newspaper office that had been seized, and there were men and horses of the gendarmerie stationed all around, my eyes flashed with helplessness, and I let out a long sigh, and then summoned a rickshaw and drove away.
In the Haishan Teahouse on Fuzhou Road in Shanghai, a young man in a suit walked in, and a young man greeted him warmly.
"Sir, what kind of tea do you eat? It's camellia or Da Hong Pao! ”
"I heard that your big red robe here is good, I came here to taste it!"
"The environment of Hongshan Pavilion is quiet and elegant, sir, please!"
After the guy finished speaking, with a smile on his face, he led the young man in a suit to an elegant room, and the guy shouted.
"One of the Red Mountain Pavilion, a pot of big red robes, sir, you have invited it first!"
After the guy finished speaking, he left respectfully, the young man opened the door, and the three middle-aged people who came into his eyes were three middle-aged people, two wearing robes, one wearing a black coat and black-framed glasses, and the three were the owner of the Haishan Teahouse, Ah Fu, the housekeeper of the Xiao family, and Wang Yaqiao, the leader of the Axe Gang.
"In the summer, you are here, I have heard that the editor-in-chief of your newspaper office has suddenly disappeared, and the newspaper office has also been burned, and today the Japanese military police captain personally visited me and asked me not to cooperate with your newspaper!"
As soon as Xia heard Wang Yaqiao's words, the guess in his heart seemed to be confirmed, his eyes flashed with helplessness, and he let out a long sigh and looked at the three people.
"Not only our newspaper, but also seven other newspapers, all the newspapers that published the victory in the Battle of Changsha, this strange kidnapping and arson incident occurred overnight last night, and now our newspaper has been seized by the Japanese, Fu Jianzhi said that this is a measure to solve the case as soon as possible!"
"Overnight, eight newspapers, this is also a big deal, who did it, it won't be the people of the Green Gang who did it!"
After Wang Yaqiao listened, his eyes flashed with doubts and said, Agui shook his head and looked at the three people.
"It wasn't the Qing Gang who did it, I can confirm this, Xiao Shan heard the news, so he called Huang Jinrong, Huang Rong said that the Qing Gang has not taken any action recently, and everything is mainly to cooperate with Xiao Shan, so the Qing Gang's suspicion can be eliminated!"
After listening to this, Xia looked at the three of them with a shimmer of wisdom in his eyes, thinking back to the threatening words of Fu Jianzhi at the end of the day, Xia boldly guessed.
"I have a bold guess, this matter should be inseparable from Fu Jianzhi and the Japanese, although Fu Jianzhi took the initiative to meet us today, but he asked us to stop production now, everything is waiting for the case to be solved, and now the gendarmerie should have closed down eight newspapers, and he also threatened that if we produce without authorization, there is an accident, he will not be responsible!"
After listening to this, Wang Yaqiao's eyes flashed with coldness, slapped the table, stood up, and said with a murderous aura.
"Okay, he's a Fu Jianzhi, I'll let Ghost Li solve him tonight, and see that he's a traitor and a traitor!"
Ah Gui looked at Wang Yaqiao with a murderous aura, shook his head helplessly, and looked at Wang Yaqiao and said.
"Comrade Yaqiao, don't be so impulsive, the Japanese finally don't point the finger at you now, on the one hand, because you have been living peacefully, on the other hand, there are military commanders who have disturbed their sight, you don't expose yourself for small losses, once the Japanese attack you again, it must be a thunderous means, and we have to lose how much brother's blood, I know that your axe gang is not afraid of sacrifice, but it is very unwise to shed blood in vain, and the truth of this matter has not been investigated clearly, so we are still braking quietly!"
Wang Yaqiao dissipated the murderous aura on his body under Agui's bitter heart, and sat down again, Xia and Afu both nodded, feeling that Agui was very reasonable, and Xia looked at Agui.
"Uncle Gui, what should we do next, and continue to print newspapers?"
Agui pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed with helplessness, and he looked at Xia Dao.
"Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with the Japanese, they have already taken action, today the captain of the Japanese military police, Akagi Iji, personally went to the Dayu Chamber of Commerce to explain not to cooperate with your declaration agency, there are other eight newspapers, I think the Japanese want to use this incident to eliminate the impact of your eight newspapers' coverage of the Battle of Changsha on their policy of co-prosperity in East Asia, and return Shanghai to their control, anyway, the victory has played a role in alerting the citizens of Shanghai, no matter how fearless the struggle is, it is in vain, it is better to stop it firstAfter all, in the isolated island of Shanghai, the lives and missions of comrades are still very important! ”
After Ah Gui finished speaking, Xia and Ah Fu both nodded in agreement, and Wang Yaqiao looked at Ah Gui with unwavering eyes.
"Then forget it, those editors-in-chief are not looking for them!"
"Comrade Yaqiao, I know you have complaints, but don't worry, I heard that Xiao Shan has a drinking party with Chimu Jinger, Li Shiqun, and Fu Jianzhi tonight, maybe the truth will come out immediately, and when we know the real culprit, it's not too late to do it!"
After listening to Agui's words, Wang Yaqiao knew that he was reasonable, and nodded helplessly, even if he agreed with Agui's words, his eyes still flashed with cold light from time to time, if I let me know the culprit this time, one day he would die in Huangquan!
