On the winding railway, the locomotive spews white smoke and roars. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Xu Youzheng did not issue an order to arrest Zou Xiurong, just in case, she still took Liu and boarded an emergency train to Jinan.

Meng Siyuan has some friends in Beijing, and Shandong is in Beijing, and he also has the power of parliamentarians. But Zou Xiurong has a hunch that this time the matter is not a parliamentarian or a big situation that can be solved, and only the fourth child can save Siyuan. In the car, Liu was still crying. Zou Xiurong admires this woman far more than he has a good impression.

In fact, it is difficult for a strong man to have a good impression of another woman who causes her divorce. But she has no complaints about her dedication and this nominal marriage, but it is difficult to blame. Liu is a good person and deserves to be rewarded.

Zou Xiurong admitted that Liu's love for Meng Siyuan may be stronger than herself, otherwise with her family background and appearance, she should have married a husband with status and wealth enough, had a few children, and been a happy mother. For this simple woman, Meng Siyuan is everything to hers, but now her sky is about to collapse.

"Don't be afraid, when we get to Shandong, we will have a way." In fact, Zou Xiurong was also worried about Meng Siyuan's situation, but in front of this weak woman, she had to hide her weakness and make herself appear confident in order to make Liu's heart stable.

The two women, who didn't have much friendship before, clasped their hands tightly together like good sisters at this time. Through the transmission of this temperature, confidence and strength are transmitted to the other party, so that the latter is more courageous.

Looking out of the car window, the scene that was passing by quickly, Zou Xiurong's heart was always hanging. If the other party can arrest Siyuan, he is also likely to attack him. Although the railway workers and the road bureaus along the route did everything possible to protect themselves, it is difficult to say how effective this protection would be in the face of the power of the government. She is not afraid of death, but Liu, a weak woman, if she is also caught in prison, will she be able to survive?

When the train stopped at Baoding Station to refill the water, and saw the platform full of Beiyang soldiers with guns on their backs, Zou Xiurong's heart settled down. This is Cao Zhongkun's defense area, and when he arrives here, he should be safe.

At the opening of the door, Cao Zhongkun and Chengzhen walked into the carriage one after the other. Cao Zhongkun was clumsy in his words, and after meeting, he kept rubbing his hands, but he couldn't find the right words. After a long time, he said, "That...... Two brothers and sisters, don't be afraid, the big lawsuit, the big silver, the entrance of the yamen is open to the south, and you don't have to take the money if you have any reason. It's the old rule, and it works all the time. What we have is money, and we are not afraid that Siyuan will not be able to guarantee it. ”

Zou Xiurong nodded, "Big brother, we two women, we don't have any opinions now, we all rely on the help of a few of you." You came to the station in person, and you alarmed so many brothers, which made me feel strange and unbearable. ”

"Brother and sister, this is out of sight, we are our own people, and we use our own soldiers, what is there to be embarrassed about? I added two wagons to your wagon, and loaded it with a battalion of soldiers. Escort you to Jinan to keep you safe and sound. This is my defense area, plus the guards, I see who dares to disadvantage you! That one...... That matter of Siyuan, you still have to make an idea from the fourth. He has a lot of methods, and he is a judicial expert in our community, and he is good at lawsuits. Which lawyer to find, whose way to go, ask him if he is right. ”

He paused, patted his head again, and said, "I asked Zhongying to bring a sum of money to Beijing for activities, no matter what, I must first bail the second brother." You can rest assured, Zhong Ying has a relationship with the yamen in the capital, and there are smokers and gamblers, and she is very powerful. Besides, there are also Shandong parliamentarians, who will not watch their own people suffer. Now is the era of republicanism, the power of the parliamentarians is very great, and the Shandong parliamentarians are a well-known hard corner in the Congress, with them, the second brother will never suffer. ”

"Big brother has a heart, I'll say thank you for Siyuan first." Liu is not familiar with Cao Zhongkun, and talking to a strange man is already a big rebellion for an old-school woman like her, and at this time, everything is in chaos, and she doesn't know what to say, but Zou Xiurong is entertaining as a hostess.

Cheng Zhen took over at this time, "Crazy, absolutely crazy!" Meng Erye's chief minister, according to the rules of Dajin Kingdom at that time, was Shangshu. Without a holy decree, dare to lead troops to take the department? What is his identity, why should he arrest people! I think from Duan's crooked nose to him, they are all crazy and lawless, this matter is not over! I have to go back to the foreigner and mention that...... Strong protest, right! It's a strong protest! Let the foreigners come forward to pick them up and see if he dares to detain people. ”

Zou Xiurong ignored his emotion, and only asked, "Uncle Zhen, how is Siyuan's situation?" The two of us women have a limited amount of power in this matter. You have a lot of roads in Beijing, and in the past few days, have you heard any news? ”

Liu Shi also looked at Cheng Zhen nervously, paying attention to his attitude, Cheng Zhen patted his thigh, "Why didn't I listen to it, Mrs. Zou, the conscience of heaven and earth, I also have a fateful friendship with Second Master Meng, can I ignore it?" But this news is really not easy to hear. Xu Youzheng's grandson blocked the news very strictly, and my people couldn't rely on it at all, but they just got a message from the military and police inspection department, and Xu Youzheng should not have punished the second master yet. ”

"It's good that you don't get punished." Liu sighed when she heard that her husband had not suffered from flesh and skin. Zou Xiurong frowned even more, "It's already to the point where you want to be punished?" Xu Youzheng: Is this going to tear his face completely? Big brother, Uncle Zhen, after the train is filled with water, please leave immediately, I think this matter must be found as soon as possible to find a way. ”

When the special train arrived in Shandong, Zhao Guanhou took Su Hanzhi and waited on the platform, the two met, Su Hanzhi held the hands of the two women, kept comforting that it was okay, Cheng Zhen got on the car, Zhao Guanhou and several women got into another carriage, and handed a newspaper to Zou Xiurong in the carriage

"Second sister-in-law, you take a look at this first."

In front of the Liu family, he called Zou Xiurong's second sister-in-law, which made the latter a little worried about Liu's face. Fortunately, the Liu family now has no owner of the six gods, and only holds Su Hanzhi's hand, and has no mind about the title. Zou Xiurong quickly scanned the newspaper, and then threw the newspaper into the carriage, "This is impossible!" There is definitely something wrong with this confession, and Siyuan will never do such a thing. ”

Seeing Zou Xiurong's reaction so fiercely, he knew that the content of the newspaper was related to her husband, so she hurriedly picked up the newspaper, only to see that the front page was impressively written, "Patriotic industrialist, really a thief." Behind the scenes of the Tanglin robbery, Meng Siyuan confessed to the record. ”

Meng Siyuan personally admitted that in order to obtain the commercial support of the Fusang people, he instructed people to steal and dig up Jin Dongling, and sent a large number of burial treasures to Fusang, and recruited dignitaries from all walks of life in exchange for the other party's financial support. He also admitted that during the construction of the railway, the proceeds from the sale of public bonds were used to run private industries.

The railway, which is known as the backbone of the union, has been pointed out to have many problems. For example, raw materials are purchased from Shandong and have not gone through the procurement procedures that meet the regulations. The quality is not outstanding, but the price is several times higher than that of other suppliers. The wages of railway workers are much higher than those of normal employment, and there are many means of welfare protection, which leads to a large increase in the cost of railway work, and all of this is behind the collusion with a certain overseer in Shandong to make a lot of money.

The tame woman's hands trembled, tears moistened the newspaper, and she trembled and said, "Impossible...... That's impossible! They must have beaten him, they must have tortured him......"

Su Hanzhi gently held Liu's hand, "Mrs. Meng, don't be too sad, things are not as bad as you imagined." It's not the first time that someone has been chasing after the wind and shadows, or even fabricating it out of thin air, maybe things are different from what you imagined. Let's not mess with ourselves just yet. ”

Liu Shi had already buried his head in his knees, whimpered softly, and repeatedly muttered only one sentence in his mouth, "Siyuan is a good person, he is a good person......

Zou Xiurong's reaction was far calmer than Liu's, his hands were clenched, and he only looked at Zhao Guanhou and said, "Fourth, when is this newspaper?" ”

"Yesterday's. The second sister-in-law was on the train and couldn't see the latest progress, and the newspapers of the past two days were all about this. Don't worry, I have already sent Gao Sheng to Beijing to negotiate the handicap with the other party, as long as Xiao Xu makes a price, I will definitely not make a counteroffer, and I will guarantee that the second brother will go home safely. Breaking the fortune and avoiding disasters, Xiao Xu is nothing more than a poor crazy ticket, he wants money, I have money, and when the second brother comes back, I will find a chance to clean him up. ”

When Liu heard this, she cried even more, Su Hanzhi hugged her tightly, let Liu's head rest on her chest, and gently patted her hand on the other party's back, patiently comforting her. Zhao Guanhou turned to talk about the progress of the railway and the difficulties in its construction, apparently seeing the rescue of Meng Siyuan as an extremely easy task. Seeing that Zou Xiurong was also talking about railways and stocks, and seemed to be full of confidence, Liu's heart settled down, and his crying gradually became smaller.

The carriage went directly to the Marshal's Mansion, Su Hanzhi helped the Liu family to the inner house to rest, but Zou Xiurong took Zhao Guanhou's hand to the study, and when she sat down, the relaxed look on her face had disappeared, and she looked at Zhao Guanhou with straight eyes and said: "Fourth, sister-in-law asked you the truth, what is the situation of your second brother?" ”

At this time, Zhao Guanhou also lost his calmness, and his brows were tightly locked

"It's hard to say. All I can say is that things are more tricky than I imagined. In fact, even Zhongying was almost arrested in the capital. There is one thing that my sister-in-law may not know yet, the president died violently. ”

"President...... Die suddenly? Zou Xiurong was taken aback, and then asked, "Could it be that this is also related to Siyuan?" They...... How dare they murder the president? ”

"The current doctor's diagnosis is that President Feng had a heart attack and unfortunately passed away. According to the medical records, President Feng's heart disease, which has been for quite some time, is not a murder. Although the death of the president and the arrest of the second brother are two different things, according to the investigation, the second brother had been to the presidential palace before his arrest, and it is difficult to say whether these two incidents really have nothing to do with each other. Now Vice President Xu Juren has taken over as president, and Duan Zhiquan is still forming a cabinet, and the Shandong parliamentarians have refused to attend the meeting, and they still use the old method of arresting people and holding the meeting. The parliamentarians simply ran to the concession, and this time, the parliament was not held for the time being. However, rumors have already spread in the cabinet that the new president will rectify the discipline of the legislators, change the free and casual style, and revoke the qualifications of the legislators who refuse to attend the meeting. In addition, Duan Zhiquan emphasized judicial autonomy and not to be interfered with by external forces, and the Tanglin robbery case was designated as a major national case, and all those who tried to say anything were to be considered complicity. Two Shandong parliamentarians were arrested as a result, and the others are now not able to face the wind. ”

"Will there be hope for a trial? I believe that Siyuan is a person, and this so-called confession must have been fabricated by Xu Tieshan, and even the result of torture. As long as he goes to court, Siyuan can speak, and when the time comes, there are reporters there, and he can always seek justice. ”

Zhao Guanhou shook his head and said: "As soon as Cao Zhongying arrived in the capital, he began to look for a lawyer, but the military police inspection department said that the second brother had an acute infectious disease, and we made a lot of money and found some connections, and the information we got was that the second brother was secretly detained. The guards around are all Xu Youzheng's henchmen, and it is difficult for us to reach into our hands. Including court trials, I am afraid it is also a trial in absentia. ”

"So, aren't they ready to let your second brother go?" Zou Xiurong didn't cry like Liu, and his expression looked quite calm. But her teeth clenched her lips, and blood flowed down the corners of her mouth without knowing it, which still revealed her mood at this time.

"This time, they're a serial scheme. Just after the second brother was arrested, the customs in Jinmen also found a batch of smuggled antiques that were ready to be shipped abroad. The owner of the ship was arrested on the spot, and among those antiques, there were several pieces, which were determined to be Tanglin burial goods. Jingli sent a special person to watch there, and as soon as he found someone, he immediately took over the case, and when he went to Beijing for interrogation, the owner of the ship insisted that it was the second brother who asked him to send things to Fuso. ”

"Bloody squirting people! Framed! Zou Xiurong clenched his fists, "Then what outcome does the other party want in this case?" ”

"It's hard to say. Although Gao Sheng went once, he had already returned. Xu Youzheng didn't plan to talk about the handicap, due to the turmoil in the government, we wanted to approach, but we couldn't find the right person. I greeted the foreigners, but Capet's minister, Condy, supported Duan Zhiquan's handling of China's internal affairs and did not approve of diplomatic interference in the administration of justice. With him in the constraints, it is difficult to exert international influence, and Zhu Erdian is honest, and his enthusiasm for this matter is not high. ”

"Of course, your second brother built railways, ran industries, and bought shares of mines and railways from foreigners, pursuing industry to save the country. Even if it's your family, Jenson Hannah doesn't like him, let alone those ministers in Dongjiaomin Lane. Being able to send him to prison is something that foreigners can't ask for, how can they be counted on their help. Let's not talk about your second brother, what about the others? ”

Zhao Guanhou sighed, "Leng He Annie is not in Beijing, as for the parliamentarians, they are not afraid to arrest them, no matter how crazy the little fan is, they don't dare to attack the parliamentarians." I'm sorry that it happened so suddenly, without warning, and I was caught off guard. The second brother is the chief of transportation, I didn't expect it...... Second sister-in-law, I'm sorry. If you want to cry, just cry. If you want to hit me, just hit me. ”

"Beat you, can you get your second brother back? Leng He and the others don't go back to Shandong, how will it help save your second brother? Zou Xiurong shook his head and said, "Fourth, sister-in-law doesn't want to blame anyone now." I just want to know, is there any other way that can help your second brother. ”

"I've sent a telegram to Duan Zhiquan, but I haven't received a response. If you are not stupid with a crooked nose, you should be able to think of the importance of Shandong's attitude to his presidential throne. I think he is taking his second brother as a strange commodity, and he is ready to knock me off a bamboo bar. To say something that doesn't matter, the meat ticket must be alive in order to ask for ransom from the family. I think that the safety of the second brother is always guaranteed. At most, I suffered some flesh and skin, and I remembered this account with a crooked nose. The second brother suffered a sin, I want him to repay tenfold! ”

Zou Xiurong let out a sigh of relief, "Fourth, with your words, my sister-in-law can rest assured." I don't ask for revenge, I just ask your second brother to be safe. You are the head of the Shandong family, you can't just talk about righteousness, you have to take into account the overall situation. If Duan Zhiquan's request is too much, you don't have to blindly back down. My sister-in-law is not an unreasonable person, and I will not ask you to sacrifice too much for Siyuan. As long as you keep your second brother safe, even if you are in prison, it doesn't matter. ”

"The second sister-in-law has this attitude, and it is easy to be a brother as a brother. The second sister-in-law can rest assured, the second brother can be released after a few days of prison food, and I will guarantee his safety. It's a big deal, I'll send someone to rob the prison, and I'll get people out of it. ”
