Although he had just been entangled with Wu Qianqiu once, after some processing, at least on the surface, he couldn't see anything. In fact, before lingering, Tang Li had already made it very clear to Wu Qianqiu that he had important things to do in the past few days, and he must not leave any traces on his face.

Even in the case of forgetfulness, Tang Li did not forget to stay sober and pushed Wu Qianqiu away in time.

If it weren't for that, she wouldn't be qualified to sit in the position of deputy director for so long. Of course, this is also a helpless thing for Tang Li.

In the eyes of outsiders, Tang Li is naturally very majestic. The deputy director of the Special Affairs Bureau, although only at the level of deputy director, is in a high position, even if he is the governor of a province, he may not have more power than her. What's more, she still came out of Yan Shao's side, and won the trust of Yan Shao and his wife...

And then what...

Even with the trust of Yan Shao and his wife, Tang Li is still walking on thin ice while sitting in this position. After all, while gaining the trust of the other party, you also need to show the ability to be worthy of the other party's trust―――――― and one of the most important is that you must not mess up the things that others value...

has been by Yan Shao's side for so long, both Yan Shao and Tang Li know very well that Yan Shao is a person who cares about old feelings, but he is also a very 'fair' person. At least on the surface, as long as your affairs are not known to everyone, then even if there is a little mistake, he can turn a blind eye. But if he makes a fuss, then he will never use the privileges in his hands to bend the law for personal gain...

When the Kuomintang government was first established, there were a few people who went out around Yan Shao, and Yan Shao stood behind him. It's very unbearable in the place. If it was an ordinary official, because of Yan Shao, he would naturally not say anything more beside him. But this time it is different, this time there is such a strong point as Song Jiaoren in the Ministry of Integrity.

Not to mention that Yan Shao would not have spared them at all. Even if Yan Shao wanted to, Song Jiaoren would not agree.

Therefore, after confirming that the evidence was conclusive and there was nothing to quibble, Yan Shao happily handed over the matter to the Ministry of Justice for handling. In the end, the lightest one was also sentenced to 20 years in prison, and the rest were either indefinite or directly shot―――――― it should be noted that the indefinite here is the real indefinite. Because when the Ministry of Justice established the Constitution, Yan Shao had already made it very clear. The sentence can be commuted for the rest, but not indefinitely.

Therefore, as long as he is sentenced to life, it is basically equivalent to squatting in prison for the rest of his life.

Of course, it may not be necessary to do so, as long as those people have a good meritorious service in prison, they can still be commuted through the presidential pardon, that is, Yan Shao's amnesty, or even simply released. It's just that they are in prison, and I'm afraid it's very difficult to make meritorious contributions. And that presidential pardon. It was also deliberately made by Yan Shao.

After all, if the judiciary can make a decision, it is difficult to say whether there will be any problems in the future, and if it is a presidential pardon. Then there must be a strong reason to forgive this person, otherwise. Yan Shao's successor must consider whether he can convince the public...

――――――――――――――――――――――

As mentioned earlier, Yan Shao is a person who misses the old love very much. Some things are not excessive, and they are not in a big fuss. Everyone knows that Yan Shao doesn't like it in his heart. But it's not that you can't turn a blind eye, but if everyone who makes trouble knows it. Then Yan Shaoke is going to kill his relatives with righteousness.

And with such a strong point as Song Jiaoren, Yan Shao basically killed his relatives in righteousness...

It is precisely because of this that the talents around Yan Shao are all vigilant, and they dare not rely on Yan Shao to stand behind and do whatever they want.

As for Elanova, there's no need to worry about that. Elano does not say that the Yushi Group itself is already very large, and it is in a monopoly position in many industries, and many things only need to be carried out in normal business competition, and there is no need to play any tricks.

As for tax evasion?

According to the understanding of some Chinese people, this country is surnamed Yan.

Since the country is surnamed Yan, then Elano naturally has no need to do something that affects Yan Shao's career for that tax―――――― well, in fact, it is not that tax at all, but a large tax, and it can even be said that from a certain point of view, the annual tax paid by Yushi Group accounts for at least one-fifth of China's annual fiscal revenue.

It is not surprising that today's Yushi Group has monopolized the global automobile market, whether it is ordinary cars, trucks, etc., or even tractors and some special construction vehicles, these markets are almost all monopolized by Yushi Group.

Coupled with other walks of life, it can be said that today's Yushi Group is even slightly higher than the national government in terms of financial revenue.

This is obviously unlikely in later generations, after all, China is also a strong country now, and I dare not say that it is a superpower, but in ten or twenty years, there will undoubtedly be China in one of the poles of the world.

But this era is an era when it is easy for individuals to become rich and rival the country.

Let's not talk about the gentry, that's a bit far away, not to mention that he is still a corrupt official, and his identity is also a little special, almost a spare treasury.

The former richest man in the world, who has been replaced by Yan Shao, Rockefeller can't forget it. Before Standard Oil was split, Rockefeller had amassed more assets than the U.S. government had spent two years. And he is only a monopoly of the oil refining industry, although he is involved in the exploitation of oil, but not as deep as the oil refining industry.

And because of this, it was broken up by the U.S. government, proving that a business empire can deal with a small country, but it is difficult to deal with a large country.

But as for the Yushi Group, it is growing day by day with the support of Yan Shao, and now, even if it is only a little wrong, I am afraid that the whole world will be in turmoil twice...

――――――――――――――――――――――

According to the Chinese people, the whole country is surnamed Yan, so Elano naturally has no need to slam the door on his own home. The same goes for Katerina. As for Lu Ying and Kaoru Otsuki, they are two women with no ambitions. In addition, there are fine clothes and jade food on weekdays, so if you want to buy something, you can just tell Yan Shao directly. Naturally, there is no problem...

Tang Li also knew this very well, so he didn't dare to be careless.

After all, the matter in front of him has already been named in front of Yan Shao and in front of many cabinet ministers, and it must be handled well, if it fails...

That's about 500 tons of gold, that's more than 100 million pounds. lost such a large sum of money, Tang Li would never be able to afford it. At that time, no matter how much Yan Shao misses her old feelings, she may have to resign. After all, there is always a price to pay for things to get things done this way.

And if she resigns because of this...

Special Bureau. It is a place that offends people very much, and Tang Li has also offended many people in the Special Affairs Bureau. In the past, because she won the trust of Yan Shao and his wife, and because she had a lot of power, others naturally had nothing to do with her, but...

If she comes down, it's hard to say whether those people will retaliate...

And whether she will survive or not, it is even more difficult to say...

So on the surface, it may seem like nothing, but in fact, Tang Li attaches great importance to this matter...

――――――――――――――――――――

Sitting in the room, Pepelyaev looked worried.

I don't know if they all have such a habit. When he sat in the house, Pepelyaev didn't even light the lamp, and the whole room was pitch black. If it weren't for the neon lights outside that could flash some light, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to see a single figure clearly...

At least when Tang Li walked in. She couldn't stop complaining about this in her heart, after all, she really couldn't understand what Pepelyaev's big night did not light meant. Could it be that I feel that the current brightness is more in line with my mood, so I deliberately didn't order it?

Or maybe I think the current situation is similar to a novel or a stage play. That's why it's deliberately like this?

Maybe that's really the case...

At least in many of the literary works that Pepelyaev came into contact with, similar scenes appeared. For example, when someone is facing a difficult situation, the light around him is usually dark. This is more in line with the color of their hearts, and it seems to be the same right now...

Pepelyaev's heart is as dark as the room ...

And Tang Li, who opened the door, brought him a glimmer of light...

At least to Pepelyaev, it seems to be the light ...

――――――――――――――――――――

Pushing the door in, perhaps the sound of the door opening woke Pepelyaev, who was in deep thought, only to see that Tang Li had just walked in, and he had already stood up from the edge of the bed.

"How? Looks like you've thought about it, Mr. Prime Minister..."Turning on the light switch next to the door, Tang Li smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, and then found a chair in the corner of the room to sit down.

At the same time, outside the door, Tang Li's subordinates were also very clever and closed the door, leaving only two people in the room.

Perhaps because he had been in the dark for a long time, Pepelyaev was a little uncomfortable with the light in the room, and his eyes couldn't help but squint because of the light.

Fortunately, he was not old enough to even stand this little bit of light, so he quickly got used to it, and then turned his attention to Tang Li, who was sitting in the chair.

"........." Looking at Tang Li's appearance, Pepelyaev was silent for a moment, and his face showed a hint of struggle, but in the end he still opened his mouth to ask questions. I would like to know, how is your Government planning to arrange for us? ”

Hearing Pepelyaev ask this, Tang Li smiled. "It's not how we arrange you..."Tang Li stretched out his index finger and waved it lightly in front of Pepelyaev. It's up to you to choose..."

"If you wish, our government can arrange for you to go to South Russia, or wherever you wish. Of course, you can also stay in China, and we can carve out an area within China for you to exist as the government-in-exile of Russia, while our country can stand behind your government and support your country against Soviet Russia..."

Saying this, Tang Li looked at Pepelyaev, wanting to see Pepelyaev's answer.

There are probably about a million Russians following Kolchak at the moment. Seems like a lot? But don't forget how big Siberia really is, just disarm the Russian army. These million people in Siberia have no tricks at all, and the Nationalist government can easily digest these million people.

To know. At present, there are millions of Russians in Siberia and other places, and it is really not a big deal to increase this million. What's more, these people are not ordinary people, in fact, those who are willing to evacuate with Kolchak at this time can be said to be figures with a certain status in Russia from a certain point of view, such as the original nobles, scientists, monks, etc., or soldiers, such as workers or farmers, most of them followed Soviet Russia. It is simply impossible to follow Kolchak.

And when these people are evacuated, they usually carry a lot of money with them, and they are themselves educated people, which is not without effect on China.

Of course, if such a group of people stay in Siberia, there is a good chance that something will happen. But in this case, is it not the case with the indigenous peoples of Siberia and Central Asia? In the final analysis, they are all of the same nature, and the difference is only that the original ones were occupied by the Nationalist government. It belongs to the 'slaves of the country'. And they still have a nominal leader.

However, with China's unique digestion ability, I believe it will not take long to digest more than a million people...

What's more...

Even if they really planned to make trouble, could Yan Shao still make them turn the sky upside down?

After all, this is just more than a million unarmed civilians. Even if they really dare to make trouble, it will be easy to suppress it. As for the inside and outside, what should be together? Could it be with Soviet Russia? I am afraid that they hate Soviet Russia more than they hate China. And the United States, or Japan, as long as the location is clever. Japan and the United States have no access to them, let alone any direct support.

After all, the railway line along the way. It is all controlled by the national government, and how incompetent the national government should be. In order for Japan and the United States to send a large number of weapons to these Russians―――――― if that were the case, I am afraid that there would not be much distance from China's withdrawal from Siberia, and there would seem to be no need to continue to fight to the death.

So the words of armament ...

As mentioned earlier, the arrangement is clever, and there is special surveillance, so there is no need to worry about this kind of problem at all...

As for what is the use of accepting these people...

One, as mentioned earlier, these are different from ordinary Russians, most of them are useful people. One, after the elimination of Kolchak, the next thing China has to face is mainly Soviet Russia. At this time, if there is a card of the Provisional Government in exile, it will undoubtedly be much easier...

Of course, even if it is annexed, it can't be too red, so Tang Li made it very clear that if they want, they can stay, and the national government can also set aside a place for them to set up a government in exile, and they can also give a lot of support.

But if they don't want to, the Communist government won't force them, and can send them where they want to go...

Tang Li said it clearly, and Pepelyaev also understood it.

Just looked up at Tang Li, but for a moment Pepelyaev was a little speechless.

After all, the decision he will make is the decision to betray his friends and his leader, and this is something he absolutely does not want in his heart...

――――――――――――――――――――――

In fact, Pepelyaev was really reluctant to betray Kolchak, but for the moment he had to do so, for a simple reason, he needed to find a way out for his followers...

Right now, behind them, Soviet Russia is closing in step by step...

And after Denikin's contact with them on the road was cut off, they had only one way to choose from the Chinese.

In fact, just before they entered Siberia, the Chinese government had already begun to contact him, and made it very clear to him that as long as he was willing to cooperate with the Chinese, kill Kolchak, and then obediently offer those hundreds of tons of gold, then they could completely let the remaining Russians live, and even allow them to set up a government-in-exile in China and use it to confront Soviet Russia...

If they don't want to...

The people who contacted Pepelyaev also made it clear that the government of the National Society could be said to be determined to get the money. I would never allow such a large sum of money to slip out of front of me.

So if Pepelyaev rejects the good intentions of the Chinese government, then the Chinese government, which has always stood on the side of neutrality. It's hard to say what will happen next.

Maybe...

will work with Soviet Russia to exterminate Kolchak and them, and then Soviet Russia will ask for territory. China wants gold.

Or will the bomber unit that has been helping them fight Soviet Russia all this time accidentally drop a bomb on their heads?

These are all things that are possible...

Another point is that if Pepelyaev is not willing to give up his wealth, then it will be difficult for the Chinese government to agree to their passage through Siberia, and at that time, they may really have no way to survive at all...

――――――――――――――――――――

Faced with such a desperate situation, Pepelyaev did not dare to say that he had no choice, but it was about the same.

When he was in Kolchak's room just now, he just wanted to ask about it. What is Kolchak's way or not, is because if there is still a way to live, he will explain everything to Kolchak openly and clearly.

After all, if he could, he would definitely not choose these Chinese ...

As for the fact that they have reached the territory of the Chinese or something...

It is not impossible for them to get out if they want to, but now even Kolchak himself seems very uncertain about the future, so Pepelyaev's options seem to be very limited...

"Things to come—" shook his head. Pepelyaev let himself find a way to sober up for a moment, and then looked at Tang Lizhengse. "What exactly are you going to make us do?"

"It's very simple," Tang Li smiled, then got up from his seat, came to Pepelyaev and whispered. Next. All you have to do is obey our arrangement and put on a play on the way to Vladivostok..."

"What play?"

I don't know why, Pepelyaev suddenly felt a chill on his body. But he was quick to ask what he thought.

And Tang Li also answered his question very cheerfully.

"Cannibalism!"

Saying this, a trace of coldness flashed in Tang Li's eyes.

Yan Shao's abacus is very simple. Since they do it themselves, it is easy to attract external pressure. Then let their own people do it to each other, and things will be much simpler.

Of course, even if you do it yourself, it's nothing, external pressure or something, Britain and the United States don't know about gold after all, and even if there will be, it won't be very big. But Yan Shao still hopes to reduce the hatred value around him a little bit, and reduce the hatred as much as possible, so he will work hard to make so many things...

Pepelyaev was the prime minister of the Provisional Government, and theoretically his rights within the Provisional Government were second only to Kolchak. And as long as he comes forward to fall out with Kolchak, and finally solves Kolchak in the midst of infighting, then he can't say anything to sleep...

Yan Shao's pressure is naturally not very great, and in the same way, he can also get what he dreams of―――――― hundreds of tons of gold worth 100 million pounds...

It doesn't take much effort, but you can get such a big gain, and Yan Shao won't refuse such a cheap thing...

――――――――――――――――――――――

Since Pepelyaev can sit in the position of prime minister, he will naturally not be a stupid person, although because there is a big difference between Russian and Chinese, he does not understand the meaning of the idiom at all, but after these four words are translated into Russian, he is still quite clear.

Similarly, he finally understood the deep meaning of the Chinese.

"You're planning to let me come forward and ......... Solve it..."

"That's right..."Tang Li nodded, agreeing with his answer. Of course, if you don't agree, we have other options, after all, in today's provisional government, you are not the only one who can choose, we can choose another person, and I believe that not everyone will be so willing to die..."

Speaking of this, Tang Li looked at Pepelyaev, and then smiled. "Of course, their status is low. The price that can be reached is naturally lower, so what is the end result? It's still up to you. ”

"If you have to follow Kolchak down such a dead end, we won't embarrass you. Anyway, enough people have died over the years, and there aren't many people like you..."

Tang Li said it so directly that Pepelyaev had almost nothing to say.

So when Tang Li finished speaking, Pepelyaev could barely say anything.

Looking at the silent Pepelyaev, Tang Li did not urge him, but returned to his original seat and sat down, and then looked at him, wanting to see what his choice was.

If you are willing to work with them. Then this time it's pretty much the same.

If not, then the Nationalist government will have more options, or, as mentioned earlier, simply cooperate with Soviet Russia, asking for money on the one hand, and their heads on the other. Or, as Tang Li said, select a few people from within the provisional government who can be contacted. Anyway, there are not many people who are not afraid of death in these years, as long as you threaten them casually, I believe that there will always be people who are willing to stand up and cooperate with them...

"Still. If possible, it would be better to see this guy in front of him, after all, as the number two person in the provisional government, his prestige is high enough. Even if Britain and the United States question what may happen later, with him standing up, the external pressure will be much lessened. And then there are the Russians. These were all evacuated with Kolchak, either directly or by finding a random person in the Provisional Government. It's hard to say whether they can be subdued, but it's Pepelyaev's words. The probability of success is much greater. ”

Thinking of this, Tang Li's gaze towards Pepelyaev was much sharper.

At the same time, after a long time of thinking, Pepelyaev finally made his decision.

"I ........."

――――――――――――――――――――

The next morning, after washing up and changing into a set of clothes, Kolchak walked out of the room and went to the dining room on their floor.

There, many of the top members of the Russian government, including Pepelyaev, had already eaten breakfast there. "You guys, don't wait for me..."

Seeing that they were not waiting for him, Kolchak complained jokingly, went to the table, picked up the Russian menu on the table, and ordered two breakfast snacks that he had often eaten in the past.

To be honest, it had been a long time since he had eaten breakfast so comfortably. It's been a long time since he's slept in such a comfortable bed, and now he really likes the life in front of him―――――― although he often experiences this kind of life...

"By the way, what's wrong with you?" While waiting for the breakfast, Kolchak sat in his seat and looked at Pepelyaev opposite him, and saw that his face was a little ugly, and he couldn't help but ask a little puzzled.

At the moment, Pepelyaev's face is indeed a little ugly, which even an outsider can see. When Pepelyaev came down from the upper floor just now, two people felt a little strange in their hearts and asked.

And Pepelyaev's answer is simple. "I didn't sleep well last night..."

For now, he answered Kolchak the same ...

Kolchak didn't have much doubt about this, and just nodded. At this time, the waiter had already walked over from a distance with what Kolchak wanted earlier, and after noticing this scene, Kolchak's attention was completely diverted.

At the same time, after noticing this, Pepelyaev breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little strange in his heart, as if he was very sorry for Kolchak...

"I'm also for all the Russians..." As if sensing what he had just thought, Pepelyaev hurriedly said this in his heart, but how useful his self-hypnosis was, I'm afraid even he didn't know very well.

――――――――――――――――――――

Kolchak and his entourage were naturally very wary of the Chinese government, but because of Pepelyaev's relationship, things went very smoothly.

Accompanied by Cai Ye and others, Pepelyaev and Kolchak visited many places in Yekaterinburg one after another, and at the same time they also saw with their own eyes the supplies prepared for them by the Nationalist government...

"These supplies will follow you to Vladivostok by guò train. Basically, as long as there are no irresistible factors such as wars and natural disasters. It's definitely enough for you to get to Vladivostok..."

Standing beside Kolchak, Cai Ye looked a little sadistic.

And to hear Kolchak speak so 'funny'. Kolchak also looked at him with some puzzlement, not knowing what he meant.

The other side. Cai Yi laughed, and then said. "This sentence is actually what our president often says, but it is just a joke, and His Excellency the Consul has no need to take it to heart..."

Hearing Cai Ye say this, Kolchak nodded with some relief.

This is indeed what Yan Shao often likes to say, because Yan Shao is a person who likes to leave some leeway for himself no matter what he does. Take the agreement with someone else, even if he is sure that he will arrive within the agreed time, he will say the same. After all, no one can guarantee that there will be any accidents at that time, if that is the case, then he will be a little dead in the first place...

Therefore, he always likes to say such things, and those who are familiar with him also know very well that this is just Yan Shao's joke.

After nodding with relief, Kolchak began to look at the series of supplies prepared by Cai Ye and them in the warehouse...

These materials are very simple, basically all of them are clothes, as well as food and medicine, etc., and now that winter is coming, it is absolutely indispensable to be clothed. After all, even inside the train, it's cold. There is also food, although there are quite a few towns along the way, and if you really need something, you can replenish it there. But who would dare to say that there will be no accidents ...

This is Siberia, not any other place, and there are many places that are still unknown to mankind. It's dangerous to really make trouble. What's more, winter is not very far away at the moment, and Siberia in winter is not a joke ―――――― ...

As for tents or something. These are not necessary.

Because this time Kolchak and their team all went to Vladivostok by guò train, as was the case with Kolchak in history. It's just that there were too many of them at that time, about more than one million, and the capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway at that time was obviously not able to meet the needs of so many people, so not many of them could run away in the end.

What's more, there are still Soviet Russian people active in Siberia, and even when they are moving forward, they often have to find ways to build railways, and they can't get up quickly at all.

This time, however, it was different, and the Nationalist government's grip on Siberia was already quite strong. The railways along the route are also relatively smooth. In the same way, in order to ensure the delivery of supplies from the rear to the front, the Trans-Siberian Railway was already full of trains, which were quite enough to send Kolchak to Vladivostok, and naturally there was no need to bother the other side to walk on their feet ...

――――――――――――――――――――

Although the qiē in front of him requires money, Kolchak is still very satisfied.

In addition, there was a person named Pepelyaev on the side, and in the end, Kolchak, who was still very hesitant, finally nodded.

Soon Kolchak sent a telegram to the Russians behind him, asking them to speed up their arrival in Yekaterinburg. As for the part that has arrived, it will be personally arranged by Cai Ye to send the vehicle to Vladivostok...

"Now Vladivostok has shaken off the traces of war and has become a large city, and if they go there, they will definitely be well accommodated. In fact, according to what I have received, our government has started to build a number of simple houses in Vladivostok, where they can live for the time being, and when you know what to do next, you can leave Vladivostok directly..."

"Thank you so much..."Seeing that Cai Ye was so thoughtful, Kolchak was a little moved and stretched out his hand and shook it with Cai Ye vigorously...

At the same time, looking at Kolchak, Cai Yi's heart was a little unbearable, but now he was for the whole country after all, so he hesitated for a while, and soon he shook it back. "Where, after all, are you already paying for it?"

"Paid—" Kolchak was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and laughed. That's right, that's right, it's true, it's what I've paid for! After saying that, he laughed, and looking at Kolchak, who was laughing, Cai Yi sighed in his heart, and then laughed too.

It's just that his smile seems a little far-fetched.

As Cai said, these are all paid for by Kolchak. So he deserves such a service, but I'm afraid he can't imagine that what Cai Ye and they want is more than just this amount of money right now...

This is like the discussion silver at the end of the Qing Dynasty, rather than procrastinating to collect the discussion silver, wouldn't it be more straightforward to directly copy the house?

What Yan Shao and Cai Ye have to do now is to exterminate the family for Kolchak! (To be continued......)
