Because of the murder, the train was forced to be delayed for more than an hour, and it was not until one o'clock that it left Wuchang Station. Along the way, Liu Xiwang and several people wanted to ask Meng Chang if he killed those Japanese, but there were people all around, and there was no time to ask, so they couldn't hold back a few people. Meng Chang didn't explain, when there is no one for this, he needs to elaborate.

There was nothing to say all the way, I reversed the car in Nanjing, did not stop, and went directly to Shanghai, without saying anything all the way, and arrived in Shanghai at almost ten o'clock at noon the next day.

Mu Ouchu, the owner of Yufeng Yarn Factory, had a house in the French Concession, and every time he came to Shanghai, he lived in his own home, and Meng Chang got out of the platform and called a few rickshaws.

"No. 26 Xiaisi Road" Meng Chang saw that several of them got into the car, so he reported the roll call, first went to the vicinity of the Mu Ou Chu Group, and then looked for a place to live. The time was not big, and when he came to the place, Meng Chang got out of the car, gave the car money, and then looked at the house number, not bad No. 26. This is an independent small circle, there is an acre of size, there is a three-story small building, there are five sizes, there is a rockery in front of the small building, there is more than two meters high, there is a statue of a saint holding a bottle and pouring water on it, there is a small fountain, a stone-paved path is facing the gate, both sides are planted with flowers and plants, and there are two lawns on both sides. It's not a big place, but it's beautifully built.

Meng Chang stepped forward and was about to knock on the door, when he saw a red button next to him, well, and the doorbell, which was quite modern. After pressing the doorbell, an old man about sixty years old came out of it, opened the door and asked.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, old man, Mu Ouchu, does Mr. Mu live here, we are people from Zhengzhou, and we have something to see." Meng Chang hurriedly accosted the old man.

"That's it, wait a minute, I'll give you a good name, then your surname."

"I don't want your surname to be Meng, you just say that Mr. Xu from Baicaotang introduced it, there is a letter from Mr. Xu, you forward it to Mr. Mu" Meng Chang said while handing Mr. Xu's letter to the old man, the old man took it, closed the door, "You wait a minute, I'll return to the above" turned around and went to Tongyu.

"That's Brother Meng, fast forward, fast forward, welcome, welcome," After a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps inside, and as soon as the door opened, a middle-aged man about forty years old ran out, medium height, thin, combing the popular Western hair, wearing a top hat, suit and leather shoes, and a spirit.

"The little brother is not talented, it is Meng Chang, he took the liberty to visit, what a disturbance" Meng Chang greeted politely, the two exchanged a few polite words, and then entered the small building, which was equipped with a large sofa, electric lights and telephones, in a Western style.

A few people sat down, served tea, and chatted a few words, Mu Ouchu asked: "Brother Meng, I read that the master's letter said that you want to buy machinery and equipment, I don't know if you want to buy it is useless, how much you want, I will give you a staff officer." ”

"I bought a bit of a lot of things this time, I may have to worry about you a lot, 4000 watts of generators need two sets, lathes, milling machines, drilling machines, there are grinding machines, come to ten sets, as well as impact equipment, in addition to some chemical equipment, other equipment is here, you help me take a look, and do not need to add" The grinder took a piece of paper and gave it to Mu Ouchu.

"So much, it's a bit difficult, now the equipment in the Shanghai commercial bank is in short supply, and the backlog is old, basically scrap iron, let me help you think about it" Mu Ouchu, holding a piece of paper, a little stupid. Buying so much machinery at once is bigger than the scale of his Yufeng yarn factory.

"Brother Mu, you see if you can get a generator first, and the equipment will be halved, can you hurry up," Meng Chang saw that this matter was still a little hanging, this is not China in later generations, a lot of equipment is delivered to the door, and now it is the Republic of China, and he looks at the faces of foreigners.

"If it's half, I know that there is a German named Laws who has a batch of equipment in his hands, and the chemical equipment is in the hands of a Frenchman Lawrence, and the others can also be booked with them, you see this, I will arrange for you to stay first, take a rest first, I'll contact them, whether anyone wants that batch of things, if there is a play, you are meeting with them, what do you think."

Mu Ouchu thought about it for a moment and said.

"Okay, then it's troublesome brother, there is another thing, I want to buy some weapons and ammunition, do you have a way" Meng Chang thought about it, one guest didn't bother the two masters, and saw if he could do everything here.

"Brother, what are you doing, you can also say build a factory if you want machinery and equipment, what do you want weapons and ammunition for, you won't be" Mu Ouchu said this, and quickly shut up, a little scared. At that time, there were several kinds of people who bought weapons and ammunition, and an army, especially a private warlord, was only relatively large in batches, and it was impossible to find him, and everyone had a fixed channel; One is that the Red Party is a small batch, scattered purchases, afraid of being discovered by the authorities; One is bandits, but bandits don't want so many machines and equipment; The other is the local tyrant squire, who buys some self-defense in small batches. At that time, due to the propaganda of the authorities, the Red Party was a fierce beast in the minds of the wealthy, and the common wife was communist, and the face was hideous, so no big businessman was willing to deal with the Red Party. The same is true for Mu Ouchu.

"Brother, you misunderstood, I'll give you a real answer, or I'll scare you. We are from Jiyuan Liujiatun, our village has set up an insurance team, in addition, the younger brother I have quite savings, I am more proficient in foreigners' machinery and equipment, I want to benefit the township, to the hometown of the father and elder to make a living, and I don't know how much the elder brother knows about the affairs of North China" Meng Chang did not dispel Mu Ouchu's scruples, he estimated that he would not help with all his might, through Mr. Xu's introduction, Mu Ouchu is a Chinese with a sense of justice, so he is not ready to hide it.

"Now the little devils are engaged in North China autonomy, and now China has been bullied and suffered by the Japanese." Mu Ochu may have a deep feeling, but he does not have a good impression of the Japanese.

"That brother knows that the ambition of the devil is more than these, the country will not be quiet for too long, there will be a murderous fight soon, the disaster of the Chinese has just begun" Meng Chang's heart is also very heavy, when he mentions the war behind, it is a little depressing, the Chinese completely use human life and blood to support the entire anti-fascist war, but how little they get after the war. The country is weak and the people are cheap, and they have not fought for confidence.

"You said that the devil would launch a full-scale war of aggression against China, this is impossible, the little devil doesn't have a lot of troops," Mu Ouchu was dumbfounded and muttered.

"Everyone doesn't believe it, including the authorities, but it's true, since the Meiji Restoration, even to the Ming Dynasty, the devil has the ambition to invade China, and with the decline of China's national strength, the devil's ambition is getting bigger and bigger. So, my preparation, some of these machines and equipment are used in the military industry, and some of them are used by myself."

"Okay, brother, don't worry, I'm risking my life, and I'm going to prepare what you want for you" Mu Ou thought for a while, and after the shock just now, he made up his mind to help to the end.

"As for guns and ammunition, you go to an American named Michael, he is a legitimate American businessman on the surface, but in fact he is an arms dealer, you don't want to live outside, just live at home, and it is convenient to discuss, I am the only one in the family, they all live in my hometown, and they don't want to move here, which is also convenient" Mu Ouchu made up his mind and said very happily.

"Wouldn't this be inconvenient," Meng Chang was a little embarrassed, after all, there were six people, and it was very troublesome to wash and wash.

"Don't bother, an old man and a cook are here now, you can live in peace," Mu Ouchu shouted as he said again.

"Mother Liu, Mother Liu, where are there three guest rooms where you lead the guests to the second floor, then they stay, and then go buy some food, and then they will live in the future, you can add six more people's meals" When we talked just now, Mu Ochu asked both of them to go out.

"Brother, you take a rest first, I'll make a phone call, I'll go to explore the road for you first, and I'll pick you up at night," Mu Ochu and Meng Chang said.

"That's okay, brother, I won't be polite to you, I'll leave everything to you," Meng Chang hurriedly said.

A few people stayed in Mu Mansion without mentioning it, Mu Ouchu made a few phone calls first, and then hurriedly went out, until nine o'clock in the evening, Mu Ouchu came back, Meng Chang and the others did not sleep, chatting in the living room, as soon as Mu Ouchu entered the door, he saw Meng Chang, laughed and said.

"Brother, congratulations, your matter has been settled"
