On the evening of the second day, Bronthe, the head of the patrol room in France, accompanied by Liu Shaokui, came to the Jinjiang Chuanwei restaurant on Aidoya Road for a banquet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the Hongmen banquet that Feng Chen carefully prepared for Bronte.

In the No. 3 private room, after Feng Chen greeted Bronthe, he took out a jade snuff box from his body and shook it in his hand.

"Mr. Blunt, I heard that you are an expert in antiques, do you know this thing?" Feng Chen handed the snuffbox to Blount's hand.

"Oh my God? This is an authentic jade snuff box and it is beautiful. Blunt took the snuffbox and stared at it repeatedly.

"Hehe, Mr. Blount, you really deserve to be an antique connoisseur, this snuff bottle was used by Gao Shiqi, a bachelor during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, if Mr. Blount likes it, I will give it to you." Feng Chen smiled and said.

"No, no, no, Mr. Feng, this thing is valuable, I can't take it." Blunt said this, but he always held the snuffbox in his hand and admired it repeatedly.

"It's okay, I don't know antiques, and it's a waste at home." Feng Chen said lightly.

"Mr. Blunt, there are still a lot of such things in Mr. Feng's house, you can take them, and I will take you to Mr. Feng's house another day to appreciate other antiques." Liu Shaokui echoed on the side.

"Then I'd be better to be respectful than to be smart." Blunt no longer prevaricated, and after a moment of careful admiration, he put away his snuffbox and put it in his pocket.

Seeing that Blunt had collected the snuffbox, Feng Chen's heart had a foundation.

Next, the service staff began to serve the food, Feng Chen asked for a few bottles of authentic Shaoxing daughter red, Feng Chen listened to Liu Shaokui's introduction, this blount especially likes to drink Shaoxing daughter red.

The dish was almost over, and the three of them began to push the cups and change the lamps, Feng Chen and Liu Shaokui deliberately and enthusiastically persuaded Blount to drink, not mentioning Ruan Qingyuan and Zhang Tiedan's affairs at all.

When the wine was hot, Feng Chen suddenly said, "Mr. Blunt, I heard that you arrested someone named Fang Xin and Zhang Tie Dan the night before yesterday?" ”

Because Ruan Qingyuan's true identity had not been revealed at this time, he used the pseudonym Fang Xin when he acted, so Feng Chen asked.

"Fang Xin and Zhang Tiedan?" Blunt only now feels that an old saying from the Chinese is very true, there is no good banquet.

"Yes, it's Fang Xin and Zhang Tiedan, I heard that you arrested the two of them and detained them in the patrol room of the public concession, I don't know what crime the two of them committed?" Feng Chen pretended to be confused.

"Oh, Mr. Feng, someone reported to me that these two people were illegally carrying weapons in the concession and plotting to assassinate Chen Zemin, the governor of Jiangsu Province, so I arrested them." Blunt said.

"Illegal carrying of weapons, isn't this a fine? Mr. Blunt, you say, how much of a fine can release the two of them? Feng Chen took advantage of the strength of the wine and asked Blunt directly.

Take other people's soft hands and eat other people's soft mouths.

"This, this, to release these two people, there must be an order from our French consulate." Blount replied in a hesitant manner that he regretted coming here for the feast today.

"Mr. Blount, first of all, let me tell you that these two people cannot be extradited to the Japanese, and secondly, you must find a way to release these two people." Feng Chen said in a threatening tone.

"Mr. Feng, this, I can guarantee that I will not extradite to the Japanese, as for the release, this, this, I'm afraid it won't work." Seeing Feng Chen's tough appearance, Blunt's tone softened a little.

Blunt knew very well that there were many agents of the military commander lurking in the concession, and there were many disciples of Du Yuesheng, all of whom were staunch anti-Japanese elements, and before coming to the banquet, he had also privately learned about Feng Chen's background.

In addition, before coming, Liu Shaokui exaggerated in Bronte's ear, boasting about how powerful Feng Chen was, which made Blunt already have a fear of Feng Chen in his mind.

"Mr. Blounte, you have to let this Fang Xin and Zhang Tie Dan go, otherwise, next time I won't invite Mr. Blount to dinner, but I will invite you to eat cigarettes and canned food." Feng Chen directly threatened.

In Shanghai, the so-called cigarette cans are fried stuffed into cigarettes and cans to make bombs, which is the usual term used in Shanghai Tang at that time to threaten others.

"Mr. Feng, you allow me to go back and think about it." Blunt began to loosen his mind.

"Okay, refreshing! Mr. Blunt, I will give you three days, and if you release these two men within three days, the blue and white porcelain vase of the Song Dynasty in my house will be sent to you personally. "Feng Chen is both soft and hard.

"Well, then Mr. Feng is waiting for my news." Blunt finally nodded.

……

Feng Chen used both soft and hard tactics to take down Blunt, and the agents of the military command of the Shanghai District settled down.

Ruan Thanh Yuan was a major general-level figure, and he was the first military commander agent arrested for assassinating traitors after the fall of Shanghai, so this incident also alarmed Chiang Kai-shek.

Lao Jiang specially ordered the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Justice ordered the Jiangsu High Court to instruct the Shanghai Special Administrative Region Court to exonerate Ruan Qingyuan as soon as possible.

Who knows, Nguyen Thanh Yuan used the pseudonym "Fang Xin" when he was arrested.

The SAR court searched through all the files, but could not find Ruan Qingyuan, let alone know that the song "Fang Xin" was Ruan Qingyuan's pseudonym, so it had to give up.

However, Bronthe, the head of the patrol room in France, knew that this Fang Xin was not ordinary and must try to release him.

At Blunt's behest, the patrol house charged Nguyen Thanh Nguyen with three charges: possession of weapons in the concession, attempted murder, and endangering public safety.

Nguyen Thanh Yuan, who himself graduated from a police academy and worked as a police chief, was familiar with the law, and with Blount's complicity, Nguyen asked the court to refuse to accept the case of attempted murder.

This was all done for the Japanese to see, and Blunt was afraid that it would be difficult to get along with the Japanese, so he colluded with Nguyen Thanh Yuan to deny the alleged murder attempt in court.

Ruan Qingyuan claimed that he and Chen Zemin did not know each other, and that he had no personal enmity, no motive for killing, and no murderous behavior.

Ruan Thanh Yuan said in court that the charge of attempted murder could only be accepted by the court only after the murdered party, Chen Zemin, personally appeared in court to testify and distinguish the truth with him in person.

This requirement is very reasonable, and it is not permissible for the plaintiff and the defendant to bring an action against the defendant when they do not know each other and do not know each other.

Chen Zemin didn't want to show his face, so naturally he would not appear in court, he knew very well in his heart how much risk a traitor should take when he entered and exited the Shanghai Special Court, which was actually controlled by the Nationalist Government, and perhaps in the process of appearing in court, he would die inexplicably.

In addition, Chen Zemin really doesn't know who the defendant is sacred?

Not to mention Chen Zemin, even Ruan Qingyuan himself didn't preset what identity this Fang Xin should be, everything was arranged by Blount and Liu Shaokui.

As a result, the Shanghai Special Administrative Region Court finally rejected the indictment of attempted murder and sentenced Ruan Qingyuan to two months' imprisonment on the minimum sentence for two charges of illegally possessing weapons in the concession and endangering public safety.

Under Feng Chen's planning, Blount intervened to mediate, and converted Ruan Qingyuan's two-month prison sentence into a fine and handed it over to the Shanghai Special District Court, so that three days later, Ruan Qingyuan was successfully released.

Since Ruan Qingyuan was only sentenced to two months in prison, Ruan Qingyuan's entourage Zhang Tiedan was acquitted by the patrol room after no trial at all.

Ruan Qingyuan and Zhang Tietang escaped safely.

Feng Chen did not break his promise, and really paid a high price to buy a blue and white porcelain vase of the Song Dynasty for Blount to send it, thanking Blount for his contribution in this matter.

"Haha, Mr. Feng, it's a pleasure to work with you!" When Blunt saw the blue and white porcelain vase, the whole person smiled from ear to ear, gave a thumbs up, and praised Feng Chen again and again.

"Mr. Blunt, I hope we have a good time working together!" Feng Chen placed the blue and white porcelain vase on Blunt's desk.

"Mr. Feng, you will also have to help with the security of the concession in the future, I heard from Inspector General Liu, the relationship between you and Mr. Du Yuesheng is very unusual." Blount knew very well that as long as the disciples of the Green Gang in the concession did not make trouble, he would have a lot less trouble.

"This is natural, we are friends!" Feng Chen agreed without modesty.

"Yes, yes, yes, we're friends!" Blount stepped forward and gave Feng Chen a French-style hug.
