Chapter 67: Pulling the Fat Pig

The Beiyang God of Wealth wanted to pretend to be stupid, but Zhao Bei did not allow him to succeed.

"Open your eyes and see, what is this?" Zhao Bei brought the piece of paper in front of Sheng Xuanhuai, angry. "Before the Japanese left, they were carefully searched by the soldiers, and I found this piece of paper, and I was able to understand why you are in the ironworks. It turns out that you have come to sign this traitorous treaty! You, and Li Hongzhang are all the way! It's just that he sells the land, and you sell the people's rights! Tenements! ”

"Nonsense! I didn't even sign the charter! How can I say that I am a traitor? You are not allowed to slander the old man, and you are not allowed to slander the old Zhongtang! In this country, how can the old man and Zhongtang sell it? Without the nod of the imperial court, who has the courage to betray the country? Sheng Xuanhuai was trembling with anger, this is the truth, there is indeed no signature on the paper, if he signed, I am afraid that he would have been hiding in the concession by now, while sipping tea, while reading the newspaper and waiting for the change of dynasty.

"I don't talk nonsense with you! Wait a few days, poke this charter into the newspaper, and you will stink on the street. Zhao Bei put away the paper and put it back in his pocket. There is indeed some insufficient evidence, but this charter itself is already very revealing, if it is announced, don't say that the people do not agree, it is the Manchu court, I am afraid that it will also borrow the head of the common people to work for such ――――――a court, it is indeed a bit uneconomical, I hope Sheng Xuanhuai can also think of this.

"You...... You...... Shameless! Insolent! Sheng Xuanhuai was so angry that he almost fainted, he had been in the officialdom for so many years, and he had seen all kinds of winds and waves, but it was the first time he had seen a person who referred to a deer as a horse like this anti-thief leader.

"It's easy not to announce it." Zhao Bei hooked his fingers and motioned Sheng Xuanhuai to lean his ear over, but there was no effect, so he had to lean over and whisper: "For the sake of me helping you keep secrets, you will transfer all the shares of Han Yeping Company in your hands to the name of the revolutionary military government, so that you not only have no fault, but you have contributed to the revolution and the people, and if the revolution succeeds in the future, it is indispensable to issue you a medal or something." ”

"You...... You ......" Sheng Xuanhuai pointed to Zhao Bei's nose, only to feel that the world was spinning for a while, and he settled down before finishing the rest of the words: "Although the old man is in business, he is all running for the country, where does Han Yeping have any shares of me?" You don't want to spew blood! ”

"Phew!" Zhao Bei spat Sheng Xuanhuai's face and said hatefully: "Don't pretend to be high with Lao Tzu!" If you want to ask which person in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty has the highest ability to empty gloves and white wolves, if you Sheng Daren think that you are second, then no one dares to call yourself the first! Others don't know, but I know very well! The steamship China Merchants Bureau back then, and now Han Yeping, have become a tool for you Shanda to make money after being 'supervised and business' by you Shanda for a few years! Today's Han Yeping, how many of those so-called 'private stocks' are short shares? How many are flower stocks? How many of them are the shares of the Telegraph Bureau, China Merchants Bureau, and Foreign Affairs Bureau under your name? I don't say this, you yourself know better than I am! If you want to talk about the prosperity of the revolutionary army, in the entire officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, the happiest person should be you, right? If the Manchu Dynasty is over, won't all these properties go to you and your colleagues?

If it weren't for Han Yeping's true private shares, Lao Tzu wouldn't have bothered to talk nonsense with you, and it would have been confiscated directly! We, the revolutionary army, protect private and lawful property, unlike you, who are trying our best to squeeze the people's fat and ointment, and how to carry the people's money into their own pockets! Of course, for moths like you, our revolutionary army really can't be too polite, no matter how we say that this revolution was also provoked by us, how can the benefits after this revolution fall into the hands of people like you? ”

Sheng Xuanhuai was more and more shocked the more he listened, the deficit of the steamship China Merchants Bureau and the telegraph bureau was also repaid, and it was not that there were no officials who impeached him back then, but when it came to the interests of Li Hongzhang and other bigwigs, the impeachment case was not over in the end, everyone in the officialdom knew about it, but Han Yeping Company was different, it was a real "business office", there were not many people who knew about it, and nearly half of the 20 million yuan of shares that were ready to be raised were flower shares, which were not only for himself, but also for those who stood behind him. Those people have a big deal, and if this matter is revealed, even if the court doesn't kill him, someone else will find a way to tell him to "shut up".

"You...... How do you know so much? Who told you that? Yuan Shikai? Sheng Xuanhuai thought of Yuan Shikai for the first time, which is probably also due to Zhao Bei's "telegram", and now many people in the officialdom suspect that Yuan Shikai has some tacit understanding with the southern revolutionary forces, otherwise, why does the Southern Revolutionary Army support him Yuan Xiangcheng as the commander?

Cut! Lao Tzu looks at it from historical data!

Of course, this can't be said, so Zhao Bei didn't answer, but just said: "Don't ask the east and the west, the less you know about some things, the better." Now I just want to ask you, do you agree to these two conditions of mine? If you promise, the money will be delivered, and I will let you go at once, if you don't agree...... Hmph, the heads of Duanfang and Yinchang are still hanging on the gate of Jiujiang City, they are very lonely, if you have a grand adult to be a companion, a group of colleagues, presumably there are many common languages, you will not feel too lonely, and the people of Jiujiang City can also see your grand face. ”

Sheng Xuanhuai is a spirit, he absolutely believes Zhao Bei's words, this way from Jiujiang to kill, the heads of the court officials along the way are like watermelons in the field and rolling on the ground one by one, who in the officialdom doesn't know that there is a commander-in-chief Zhao in the south who is a murderer?

"Old man...... The old man really doesn't have that much silver! Sheng Xuanhuai howled with a sad face.

"Don't cry poor with Lao Tzu!" Zhao Bei hummed with his hands behind his back. He really doesn't believe that Sheng Xuanhuai does not have a family property of two million oceans, as long as he carefully studies the history of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, he knows that he Sheng Xuanhuai is a rich man, not to mention anything else, Sheng Xuanhuai's funeral alone used more than 300,000 taels of silver, the wealth of the Sheng family, which can be seen, but considering that it was after the Republic of China, after experiencing a great social upheaval, many of the industries that originally belonged to the Qing court were under private names, perhaps Sheng Xuanhuai at this time really did not find a chance to fish.

Thinking of this, Zhao Bei said again: "If there is no ocean, you can also use materials to compensate." Japanese sulfur, Chilean saltpeter, American steel, I take all these things! Besides, even if you really don't have so much silver, I absolutely believe in your ability to empty gloves and white wolves, over the years, it is impossible for those Western-style bureaus and factories you have handled without your cronies, with their help, you will not be unable to raise silver. Regardless of whether you cheat, steal or rob, in a word, after fifteen days, if I don't see the silver and supplies I need, you can go to the city gate tower in Jiujiang and chat with Duanfang and Yinchang! After speaking, he snorted coldly, and walked out of the signing room with a sheepskin jacket.

"You scoundrel!" Sheng Xuanhuai jumped in the room and scolded.

But before he could scold, Zhao Bei ran back and strode towards Sheng Xuanhuai, followed by two murderous guards.

"You...... What do you want to do? Sheng Xuanhuai was startled, retreated again and again, and was forced into a corner by Zhao Bei.

"I almost forgot the most important thing." Zhao Bei smiled cruelly. "Tomorrow I will send someone to send a contract, that is, the contract about your transfer of the shares in the name of Han Yeping Company, no matter what, you have to sign, otherwise, I will not only kill your head, I will also copy your home, what weaving layout shares, what steamship China Merchants shares, Lao Tzu will not let go of any of them! Even if the property under your name is in a foreign concession, Lao Tzu will never let it go! Desperately fighting against foreign devils, Lao Tzu will also bring down someone from you! ”

Zhao Bei said to Tian Jinfu again: "You send someone to watch him well, if he wants to write a letter or take a telegram, you immediately prepare a pen and paper for him, in addition, change his place, find a clean house to lock up, and find a few maids to serve, he is the God of Wealth of our revolutionary army, and he can't let him lose a hair." ”

After Zhao Bei left, Sheng Xuanhuai was stunned for a full minute, and finally came back to his senses, and was escorted out of the signing room, but he kept muttering the same sentence in his mouth: "This is a madman, this is a madman......"
