Chapter VI Transactions

Without further ado. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are harvesting in the summer, and it will be impossible to put them into the warehouse any later, Yan Qingyu immediately contacted Luo Junqiang through Xu Tingge.

Xu Tingge started by being a thug with the King of the Imperial Ryu, and Yan Qingyu is also an old acquaintance, he is now the deputy minister of justice, Luo Junqiang is the minister of justice, and the head of the lieutenant general of the tax police corps, the offices of the two are next to each other, so they can naturally talk, Yan Xiaochang made a phone call, Xu Tingge immediately said that he could arrange a meeting.

The next day, a black bulletproof car picked up Liang Maocai, turned seven or eight corners on the street, as if he had been paying attention to whether anyone was following him, and only after confirming that it was safe to drive into the eighth district, that is, the original French Concession, and stopped at an inconspicuous alley, at the intersection of the road to refuse horses, and the black-clad spies carried shell guns and led the big wolf dogs to patrol back and forth.

Yan Qingyu showed Paisi, and the spy carefully checked it and returned it: "Thank you, Vice Minister Yan." He looked at Liang Maocai suspiciously.

"This is Mr. Aoki from the Japanese Consulate." Yan Qingyu said lightly.

The spy snapped upright, commanded his subordinates to move the barricade, and let the car in, Liang Mao noticed that there were spies with rifles on the roof nearby, staring around, and there were power grids on the walls.

"Who is this for?" Liang Maocai said.

"Who else can I prevent, Luo Junqiang and Li Shiqun are incompatible, they have assassinated each other several times, more than a dozen small shrimps have died, and yesterday they were on fire in the streets, and the hatred is getting deeper and deeper." Yan Qingyu replied.

The car stopped at the end of the alley, there was a long high wall on the left, and two black iron doors on the right, thinking that it was a newly repaired door in the backyard, the car door opened, and the two entered quickly, the yard was more heavily guarded, and there was a faint shadow of a machine gun on the roof, a European-style two-story western-style building, all the windows were tightly curtained, impermeable, and the outside world wanted to peep into one or two, and there was no way to start.

A man in a black tunics led the two into the western-style building, the solid wood floor was smooth and shiny, the furniture was made of rosewood, and there were ancient paintings hanging on the wall, Yan Qingyu smiled: "It must be Tang Bohu's painting." ”

Liang Maocai said: "I didn't expect that Yan Cichang also has a lot of research on ancient paintings. ”

Yan Qingyu said: "No, the traitors on the beach took it by force, and they all became nouveau riche, just making gold bars and dollar bills felt boring, so they wanted to be vassals and play with some culture, and I don't know who started it, just Tang Bohu's paintings and Wen Tianxiang's words, I think they come because they have too little ink in their stomachs, they only know Tang Bohu in the three smiles and Wen Tianxiang in the drama, but where are Tang Yin's authentic handwritings, and Wen Tianxiang's words have not been handed down, so a group of counterfeiters specialize in making fakes to meet the needs of these officials, In the whole of Shanghai, Tang Bohu's paintings are not 1,000 but 800, and I also have one in my office. ”

Liang Maocai smiled, in Luo Junqiang's family, Yan Qingyu dared to be so outspoken, he suddenly felt that this person was very temperamental, and he could make friends.

In the living room on the first floor, four bejeweled wives were playing mahjong, and behind them were all standing maids and old mothers, playing cards while chatting in Wu Nong's soft language, giggling from time to time.

"Oh, it's Captain Yan who is here, come and sit down and help Allah fight." A delicate young lady saw Yan Qingyu and immediately beckoned him to come over.

Yan Qingyu smiled and said, "Miss Li, my hands stink very much, so I won't delay you in winning." He said hello to the ladies at the table before going upstairs.

There is also a living room upstairs, where two men are already sitting on the sofa swallowing clouds and spitting fog, with Erlang's legs crossed, and their leather shoes are as shiny as their hair, it is the two giants of the Ministry of Justice of the Wang government, Luo Junqiang and Xu Tingge.

"Yo, Lao Yan is here." Xu Tingge jumped up and shook hands with Yan Qingyu, and then shook hands with Liang Maocai: "Fortunately." ”

Yan Qingyu said: "Minister Luo, let me introduce, this is what I said on the phone, General Chen Zikun's special envoy, Mr. Liang Maocai." ”

"Oh, it's Mr. Liang, I don't know what your position is in Chongqing?" Luo Junqiang asked very reservedly.

Liang Maocai said: "I have nothing to do with Chongqing, I only represent Commander-in-Chief Chen." ”

Luo Junqiang smiled faintly, lowered his head and drank tea, seemingly a little disdainful.

Yan Qingyu said: "Mr. Liang has 30,000 catties of Jiangbei soil in his hands, and he has no market, so he wants to do business with Minister Luo, he is a serious businessman, and he has a Mao connection with Chongqing, if it is really a person from Chongqing, I dare to introduce it to you?" ”

When he heard about 30,000 catties of opium, Luo Junqiang's lowered eyes trembled, Yan Qingyu knew that there was a play.

Sure enough, Luo Junqiang had a smile on his face: "Since it's business, it's easy to say, sit down, what does Mr. Liang like to drink, coffee or tea, or some brandy." ”

Liang Maocai said: "Then let's be energetic, brandy." ”

Luo Junqiang said with a smile: "It's really free, good, good." ”

Yan Qingyu said: "It's not interesting to sit dry, there are exactly four people, it's better to play cards." ”

Everyone said yes, the servant brought a pair of ivory mahjong, and the four of them piled up the Great Wall, all of them were people with status, and the color head was naturally bigger, Yan Qingyu was already prepared, took out a stack of dollar bills from his bag, and gave half of it to Liang Maocai: "If you win, it's yours, and if you lose, it's mine." ”

Liang Maocai hurriedly excused himself: "Brother Yan is too polite, I have it." As he spoke, he took out a dozen large mahjong-sized paper bags and placed them on the table.

"High-purity heroin can be exchanged for five times as much white goods." Liang Maocai introduced.

Luo Junqiang and Xu Tingge glanced at each other and nodded secretly, a little interesting.

Playing mahjong is actually a way to quickly enhance feelings, after two laps, the four of them will be called brothers, Liang Maocai is no longer the stunned young man of the year, he knows when to do something, and all the samples were lost to Luo Junqiang and Xu Tingge, and half of the dollar bills on Yan Qingyu's table were missing.

Luo Junqiang held a cigar in his mouth and said, "Brother Liang, such a large batch of goods, are you going to release them all to me, or will you release them in batches?" ”

Liang Maocai said: "I don't know much about the Shanghai market, but I heard Brother Yan say that the person who can take on such a big business is none other than Minister Luo, so I want to give it all to you." ”

Luo Junqiang said: "Oh, don't you plan to let them go to No. 76 Li Shiqun?" ”

Liang Maocai said disdainfully: "Li Shiqun is a hair, and he is not worthy of lifting shoes for Minister Luo." ”

Luo Junqiang was happy: "That's right, the tobacco and soil trading in Shanghai, except for the Hongji Shantang under the Imperial Authority, that is the channel for me Luo, by the way, how to calculate the price?" I eat so many things at once, but I want a discount. ”

Liang Maocai said: "That's a certainty, the price is set by Minister Luo, but we don't want money, we want food." ”

"Food!" Luo Junqiang gasped, "This is not easy to do, food is the military material of the Japanese, and the control is the most powerful." ”

Liang Maocai said: "That's why you are looking for Minister Luo, you must have a way." ”

Luo Junqiang thought about it, but still shook his head: "The risk is too big, the number is too big, and there are too many links, it's not that I don't help, it's really difficult." ”

Yan Qingyu glanced at Xu Tingge.

Xu Tingge said: "Yongsheng, in fact, it's not that difficult, the grain in the warehouse can't be moved, we can move the grain in the field, this year's summer harvest, the grain output in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is okay, the tax police corps is collecting grain in the countryside, don't you store it in the treasury of the provincial government when it's over, do a trick in this link, let Brother Liang take it away, we can not only get rid of the relationship, but also push the responsibility to Li Shiqun, isn't it the chairman of Jiangsu Province, let him take responsibility." ”

Luo Junqiang said: "The method is good, but how to do it?" ”

Xu Tingge said: "It is common for grain to meet resistance, isn't it okay to find someone to disguise themselves as the New Fourth Army to set fire, no matter how awesome Li Shiqun is, can he find the New Fourth Army to ask for food?" ”

Luo Junqiang slapped his thigh: "Xiao Xu, you can do it, but ...... Li Shiqun has a lot of ears and eyes, and I heard that he also has dealings with the New Fourth Army, in case he finds out that the New Fourth Army is fake, we will be passive. ”

Yan Qingyu said: "It's really troublesome to find someone to pretend to be the New Fourth Army, and it won't be over if you just find the real New Fourth Army." ”

Luo Junqiang said: "Brother Yan, don't scare me, can you still mobilize the New Fourth Army?" ”

Yan Qingyu said: "The division and the group can't be transferred, and it is not a matter of gossip to transfer a few guerrillas to make a cameo." ”

Luo Junqiang laughed: "Then do it." ”

Yan Qingyu said: "But the imperial court is not short of hungry soldiers, and the New Fourth Army also has to take care of it, just get some medicine or something." ”

Luo Junqiang said disapprerovingly: "Let them buy it themselves, and I'll give you a pass." ”

The matter was negotiated, everyone was in a very good mood, Yan Qingyu remembered yesterday's incident and asked Luo Junqiang: "Old Luo, what happened to the shootout on the stage of Aidoya Road yesterday?" ”

Luo Junqiang said: "The brothers of the tax police group went to the movies, didn't want to buy tickets, and clashed with the police, and both sides died. ”

……

Coming out of Luo Junqiang's house, Yan Qingyu said goodbye to Liang Maocai, went to the first district alone, which is the former public concession, made a phone call in a café, waited for half an hour, and met the contact person Tang Yan.

"What's the matter, is there a matter of medicine?" Tang Yan asked.

"The pass has been opened, but you have to procure the medicine yourself." Yan Qingyu said.

"This is easy to do, you also know that drugs for the treatment of gunshot wounds are forbidden to be bought and sold, and if you want to transport them out of Shanghai at least five checkpoints, you need different passes, and you can do the tax police this pass, you have helped me a lot, and I thank you for the wounded soldiers of the New Fourth Army."

"Don't thank me, I have something to ask you for help with."

"What's the matter?"

"Don't bother, mobilize a few troops to cooperate, and put on a show for the Japanese to ......"

After Tang Yan heard this, she nodded slightly: "It's not troublesome, but I have to ask my superiors before I can reply to you." ”

Yan Qingyu said: "Then you hurry up, I'll wait for a reply." ”

Tang Yan immediately got up and left, and after confirming that she was not watching, she got on the tram and went around a few times, and finally got into a remote alley, and met her superior contact person in an attic, and after reporting the matter, the contact person smoked a cigarette, frowned, and said: "You can help, but you must skillfully reveal the news to Li Shiqun afterwards, and let them eat dog." ”

"What a brilliant move." Tang Yan praised.
