Chen Bangrui, the left waiter of the degree branch, took the opportunity to instigate Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu, to impeach Cai Naihuang. The governor participated in the impeachment of the Taoist platform, and naturally one was one and one quasi. At the end of September, the imperial court issued an edict reprimanding Cai Naihuang for "repeatedly failing to turn around and asking the ministry to help" since he took over the pipeline, and this time he "used the panic in the market as a threat and the repayment period as a requirement", but in fact it was "reckless profit" and "disregarded the overall situation", so he was dismissed from his post and ordered him to "pay off the money he handled" within two months. Cai Naihuang received the dismissal order from the imperial court, he was ashamed and angry, and quickly recovered the official money from Yuan Fengrun and other money banks.

On October 7, several foreign banks in Shanghai suddenly announced for unknown reasons that they would refuse to accept the banker bills of 21 Shanghai banks. On October 8, Cai Naihuang withdrew the official money of the Yuanfengrun ticket number due to the emptiness of the treasury and closed down, owing more than 2,000 taels of public and private funds, after the news came out, it was in Beijing, Jinmen and other places 17 branches also closed down at the same time.

Afterwards, the "Oriental Magazine" reported: Yuanfengrun Tianjin Branch was closed, and the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce had to help the merchants borrow 1 million taels of silver from the four banks of Daqing, Communications, Zhicheng and Zhili to stabilize people's hearts.

Although Xiao Zhenlei promised to lend money to Cai Naihuang, but this matter is obviously not a question of whether to borrow money, even if he lends money to Cai Naihuang, it cannot save the fate of Cai Naihuang being impeached, many people in the Qing court have long looked at Cai Naihuang unpleasantly, when Cai Naihuang was impeached, Xiao Zhenlei knew that Cai Naihuang's official position in the Taoist platform could not be kept, he immediately informed Chen Huizu, and ordered him not to remit the money promised to Cai Naihuang to the Qing court, and the Qing court had to find another way to transfer two million taels from the Qing Bank to pay Gengzi compensation.

After Cai Naihuang stepped down, he was worried that his political enemies would kill him, so he secretly fled and disappeared, and no one knew where he went.

The newly appointed Shanghai Daotai is Liu Yanyi, this person is a Jinshi, there is a literary talent, how is the official, Xiao Zhenlei does not know for the time being, but now he no longer needs the support of Shanghai Daotai, he also does not know Liu Yanyi, he has no friendship, so when this person took office, he did not go to the meeting, with his current military position, in the era of the great improvement of the status of the martial arts in the late Qing Dynasty, he no longer has to be afraid of Liu Yanyi, and Liu Yanyi seems to have no action after taking office for a period of time, it seems that this person is an honest man, After all, he was born in Hanlin.

Williams and Opiyin have been back from Europe for more than two months, and also brought three sets of steelmaking furnaces, Zhenhua Iron and Steel Company has begun to be under intense construction, Williams is a professional manager of a steel company, Xiao Zhenlei is very relieved to hand over the construction of the steel company to this person to be responsible, and at the same time transferred a senior member Du Wentao from the Iron and Blood Salvation Society to assist him.

On October 10, Xiao Zhenlei saw a sensational news in an American newspaper that Chinese Feng Ru had developed a second aircraft of his own, and it was a great success in its flight show in Auckland. This made Xiao Zhen extremely excited, why? The navy of the Qing court suffered heavy losses after the First Sino-Japanese War, and it was difficult to maintain the security of the coastal seas, and it was already far behind the Western powers and its neighbor Japan, and it was basically impossible to catch up with and surpass the Western powers in naval construction in a short period of time, but now the invention of the aircraft has just begun, and all countries are still blank in the field of air force; if we seize the opportunity to vigorously develop the air force at this time, we may not be able to walk in the forefront of the world.

Who is Feng Ru? This is the first person in China to fly. In honor of these two great scientists, the U.S. government named the largest air base "Wright Base" and built a famous "Wright University" near Dayton, Ohio, their hometown. But lived in the same era as the Wright brothers and designed, built and flew the first aircraft in Chinese history.

Compared with the cost of millions to build a warship, the cost of building an aircraft is very low, and if the aircraft can be built for combat and mass production, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the national defense force.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhenlei immediately sent a telegram to Fast in the United States, asking him to contact Feng Ru immediately and ask him to tell Feng Ru that there are still people in China who are willing to fund Feng Ru to develop an airplane, and if Feng Ru is willing to return to China, Xiao Zhenlei will provide sufficient funds and conditions.

After the telegram was sent, Fast soon called back, he said that he would go to Auckland to contact Feng Ru as much as possible, and he also said in the telegram that he had persuaded a scientist named Nikola Tesla to go to Shanghai to take up a job, let Xiao Zhenlei do a good job of reception, and set up a special high-end real room for Tesla, the materials and some cutting-edge real equipment for the high-end real room have been loaded, and Tesla will go to Shanghai with these instruments and materials in two days.

Xiao Zhenlei was stunned for a moment when he saw the call back from Fast, what? Fast this guy actually fooled the greatest scientist Nikola Tesla? Why is there a succession of good things this year? Feng Fengru, who has just discovered the manufacture of airplanes, is in Auckland, and soon there will be an international top scientist like Tesla to join, Xiao Zhenlei couldn't believe for a while that a scientist of Tesla's level would be fooled by Fast, but the telegram clearly said Nikola Tesla, this person is a scientist, and there is only one scientist with this name among scientists, he is praised by the elite of the Western scientific community as the only great scientist comparable to Leonardo da Vinci and surpassing Einstein, and is the greatest genius in human history. It was he who invented and created the alternating current system, which had a profound impact on the industry of the modern world. Tesla's ** is not limited to power engineering, but also involves other fields. He has made about 1,000 inventions in the field of science and engineering. Many of his research projects were far ahead of their time, and the technical conditions were far from keeping up, and it was difficult to complete them in his lifetime. Until now, the world's system of scientific invention has been built on Tesla's legacy. Tesla's research covers a wide range of fields, including alternating current systems, radio systems, wireless power transmission, ball lightning, turbines, amplification transmitters, particle beam weapons, solar engines, X-ray equipment, electrical energy meters, missile science, remote sensing technology, cosmic rays, aircraft, radar systems, etc., and he has made extraordinary achievements in these fields, he is the father of many industries, the father of alternating current, the father of radio, the father of radar, the father of automation, the father of free energy, the father of artificial lightning.

In a little more than a month, such a great scientist will work for himself, Xiao Zhenlei can't believe that this is true, but the words on the telegram cannot be faked.

Xiao Zhenlei immediately asked people to send a telegram to Fast, and sent a check for 100,000 US dollars as a reward for him, to be able to send Tesla to flicker, this ability is definitely not ordinary people have, this kind of talent must be enveloped, in the telegram, Xiao Zhenlei expressed great appreciation for Fast's work, and said that he affirmed his work achievements during this time, and also said that he sent a reward of 100,000 US dollars to him, hoping that he would continue to work hard and fool more talents to come.

After watching the dispatcher finish sending the report in the telegraph room of Zhenhua Company, Xiao Zhenlei returned to the office satisfied, and hummed a song in a good mood.

In order to celebrate himself, Xiao Zhenlei poured a glass of red wine and stood in front of the window while enjoying the scenery outside while savoring it.

"Jingle bell, jingle bell" The phone rang, Xiao Zhenlei walked over and picked it up: "It's me!" ”

The voice of the secretary Xiao Gao came from the phone: "President, there is a gentleman outside the company who claims to be Nong Jinsun who wants to see you!" ”

"Brother Jinsun? How did he find Zhenhua Company? Xiao Zhenlei muttered in his heart, and then said into the microphone: "I know, you go down and pick him up and take him to my office!" ”

"Okay, President!"

Five minutes later, the secretary Xiao Gao knocked on the door of Nong Jinsun's office, Xiao Zhenlei looked up, quickly got up and greeted him, and said with a smile: "Oh, what kind of wind blew Brother Jinsun today?" Hurry up, Brother Jinsun, please come in! ”

Nong Jinsun arched his hand and said: "Brother Huanyu, I took the liberty to come to visit, I am disturbed!" ”

"Eh, don't get in the way, don't get in the way, come, please sit here!" Xiao Zhenlei asked Nong Jinsun to sit down and asked the secretary Xiao Gao to bring two cups of tea.

Xiao Zhenlei asked, "Brother Jinsun, Master Huo has passed away, what are your plans now?" ”

Nong Jinsun sighed: "Hey, what else can I plan, Brother Junqing's long-cherished wish in his life is to carry forward the Huo family's lost trace boxing, so that the people of the country can learn, use it to strengthen the body, protect the family and defend the country, Jingwu gymnastics is the first step he used to achieve these, now that he is gone, I, as his best friend, must help him realize this wish, and continue to run the Jingwu Gymnastics!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei saw that Nong Jinsun's expression was a little anxious, presumably there must be something very important this time, so he said: "Master Huo's wish is admirable, by the way, Brother Jinsun, you usually go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, come to me today, there must be something wrong, right?" It doesn't hurt to be straight! ”

Nong Jinsun saw that Xiao Zhenlei took the initiative to bring up this topic, so he immediately said: "I really have an important matter to ask you for help when I come to Brother Huanyu today, Brother Junqing's eldest apprentice Liu Zhensheng, you have seen it!" ”

"Yes, Brother Zhensheng's martial arts are outstanding, and he has won the true inheritance of Master Huo's martial arts! How? Could it be that Brother Jinsun came to find the younger brother today because it has something to do with him? ”

Nong Jinsun nodded and said, "Yes, a few days ago, the private detective Ma Boyang you recommended to us found out the cause of Brother Junqing's death, Brother Junqing died of poisoning. He originally had asthma, and the people of the Japanese Judo Association asked him a Japanese doctor named Akino to treat him, and Akino gave him a drug, and his condition not only did not improve, but worsened, and within a few days, Brother Junqing was not good, at first we were suspicious, but there is no evidence to prove this, and the other party is Japanese, and there is a Japanese consulate to protect it, we can't help them, Ma Boyang took over the case and immediately investigated, He sneaked into the hospital where the doctor named Qiu Ye who treated Brother Junqing was located, and found the kind of medicine that Qiu Ye gave Brother Jun Qing to, and then we opened the coffin for autopsy, and took out some of the liver parts of Brother Junqing's body for testing, and found that the liver part of the body also had the same drug, Ma Boyang found a doctor in a hospital to conduct a drug test on the drug, and found that the drug did have the toxicity of aggravating asthma attacks. After we learned the news, we were preparing to sue the people of the Japanese Judo Association and Akino to the Concession Trial, but Ma Boyang told us that it was useless to go to the Trial, and the case involved the Japanese, and it would be transferred to the court of the Japanese Consulate for trial, and the Japanese side would definitely do everything possible to exonerate the Judo Society and Akino. After the incident, he was caught by the patrol room, do you think he killed so many Japanese, the Japanese can let him go? Once the case is handed over to the Japanese Consulate, Zhensheng will definitely die, yesterday and today, we tried our best to see Zhensheng, he is not a big deal, the injuries on his body are not very important, he is just locked up in the patrol room, we have tried a lot of ways to rescue him, but it doesn't work, we think about it, only you have the ability to rescue him on this beach, Brother Huanyu, for Junqing's sake, this time I want to ask you to help him anyway! ”

Xiao Zhenlei hurriedly said: "Brother Jinsun, don't worry, as far as I know, most of the Japanese in Shanghai now live in Shanghai County, and the Japanese Judo Club seems to be in the French Concession, right?" ”

Nong Jinsun nodded and said, "Yes, that's right!" ”

During this period, the Japanese in Shanghai were still very weak, and the vast majority of Japanese in Shanghai lived in the county seat, as for a small part of the people living in Hongkou and Kou, in history, the Japanese living in the county town gradually moved to the area of Hongkou and Kou.

Xiao Zhenlei frowned and asked, "Brother Zhensheng is now locked up in which patrol room in the French Concession?" ”

Nong Jinsun hurriedly said: "I was not locked up in the patrol room of the French Concession, but in the patrol room of the Public Concession!" ”

"That's not right, he killed the Japanese in the French Concession, what's the matter with the patrol house in the Public Concession? Aren't they meddling? This hand is a little too long, isn't it? ”

Nong Jinsun explained: "Here's the thing, Zhensheng was injured after coming out of the Japanese Judo Society dojo, and he was carrying a katana, covered in blood, and the patrol room of the French Concession on the street found him and began to pursue him, he fled to the Mansion Concession in a panic, and happened to be seen by several patrols of the public concession and surrounded him, facing the musket, Zhensheng could only drop the katana and surrender, and was taken away by them!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and said: "Brother Jinsun, rest assured, this incident happened in the French Concession, and the Public Concession has no right to intervene at all, as long as Brother Zhensheng is handed over to the patrol house of the French Concession, I will have a way to save him!" ”

Nong Jinsun said anxiously: "But we can't talk to the concession side at all, will the public concession side agree to hand over Zhensheng to the French concession side?" ”

"This brings us to the issue of diplomatic extradition!" After Xiao Zhenlei finished speaking, he thought for a moment and said: "That's it, I still have some things to deal with here, you go to the Xiao Mansion tomorrow morning to find me, and I will solve this matter at that time, and I will call the patrol room of the public concession later, and let them take care of Brother Zhensheng."

Nong Jinsun hurriedly said: "Then trouble you!" ”R1152
