Shen Wanqing walked up to Lin Yuan and said, "The most important thing we should do now is to find out the owner of this factory, but how do we find it?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The boss should be very easy to find, there are hundreds of workers in this yarn factory, I don't believe that no one can know where the boss is." ”

Lin Yuan waved his hand, let a few catchers continue to do their own things, he and Shen Wanqing walked into the factory, and walked into a factory casually, and saw a man in front of the cotton machine, as if he was repairing the machine, Lin Yuan went over and said, "Master, ask you about something, okay?" ”

The man glanced at Lin Yuan and said, "I don't know what happened about the fire. ”

Lin Yuan said: "I don't want to inquire about the fire. ”

The man's face softened, and he said, "Oh, what are you going to inquire about?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I want to ask who the boss is?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do!" ”

Lin Yuan asked in surprise, "I don't know what to do?" How can you not know the way? Shen Wanqing also said on the side: "Big brother, you don't have to be afraid that they will retaliate against you, they can't know that you said it." ”

The man smiled helplessly: "Sister, I really don't know who is the boss, not only me, but the whole factory doesn't know who is the boss." ”

Lin Yuan asked: "If there is no boss, who will take care of the affairs of the factory in ordinary times?" ”

The man replied: "It's all Laison in charge, but he is also a foreman, and he can take care of us, at least he can't take care of money, and the owners are in the shadows, and they never show up." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Lai Sen doesn't care about money, how do you know about it?" ”

The man said: "It was Laisen who was drunk and complained, he said that he earned less, and he couldn't manage the money, phew, he really didn't have a backache when he stood and talked, he earned more in a month than we all earned in a year......" The man talked about Laisen, and couldn't help but scold a few more words, Shen Wanqing said to Lin Yuan: "It seems that they really don't know who the boss of Ludao is?" So what do we do? ”

Lin Yuan said: "Let's find this Laisen first, Laisen can't not know who the boss of Ludao is." So Lin Yuan asked, "Then do you know where Dao Lai Sen lives?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "Who is not far away from that kind of goods, who will ask where he lives, but the rich must live in the concession." ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Now there are two concessions in Shanghai, one is the public concession jointly owned by the United Kingdom and the United States, and the other is the French concession, although there are only two, but it covers an area of nearly 30,000 acres, and there are countless houses in it, and they have set up a bureau of the Ministry of Industry, and they have their own administrative and judicial powers, and we absolutely have no ability to investigate!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I also understand that we have to change the way. Lin Yuan was inspired and said: "Let's go find Liu Linxiang of Shanghai Daotai, Laisen moved him here as soon as something happened, the relationship between the two must be good, Liu Linxiang must know where Laisen lives." ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Then you go to Liu Linxiang, I will report back to the agency to print an extra number, and report on this matter well!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "When you are reporting, you should pay attention to guide readers in such a direction, that is: this fire was deliberately put by the people of the factory in order to cover up the fact that they abused female workers, understand?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "I also have this intention, although the fire may not be deliberately set by them, but to deal with people like them, you have to use these crooked methods." ”

The two separated, Lin Yuan went to find Liu Linxiang, and when he arrived at the Daotai Yamen, the master inside walked out and said to Lin Yuan: "Lord Lin, I'm really sorry, our Lord Liu has been unwell recently and can't see guests." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "The day before yesterday, he still led people to fight against me, and today he is sick?" It's clearly pretending to be sick! Lin Yuan was not easy to break, and asked with a sneer: "What disease does Lord Liu have?" Let him come out, and I'll cure him!" ”

The master hurriedly smiled and said, "Lord Lin, don't bother you, our family has chickenpox, and we will be fine after a while." ”

Lin Yuan slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "Got chickenpox? He's almost fifty years old, and he can get this disease! ”

The master smiled: "It's a coincidence, our little master has just had chickenpox, and the adults in our family have not paid attention to touch the water in the pox, and they will get it. ”

Lin Yuan nodded, and said angrily: "Then let him keep it!" It turned out that Liu Linxiang didn't dare to offend the foreigners, nor did he dare to offend Lin Yuan, and he blamed the court for pretending to be sick for too long, so he chose a chickenpox to pretend, which could not only temporarily avoid Lin Yuan's edge, but also not be sick for too long for the boss to reprimand.

Lin Yuan returned to the newspaper office, Er Nizi also heard about her companion being burned to death, and cried into a tearful person, and the people in the newspaper also cried, Shen Wanqing They were still writing the manuscript, and the manuscript was also equipped with the pair of charred hands that grabbed the iron window, Shen Wanqing saw Lin Yuan come back and asked, "Did Liu Linxiang say it?" ”

Lin Yuan scolded: "This dog official, pretend to be sick with me, don't see me, pretend to be sick, it's not good, you have to pretend to have chickenpox!" ”

Shen Wanqing continued: "Do you remember Klein who came with the soldiers that day? Why don't you go find him, he'll know the truth! ”

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "It's definitely not okay to look for him, they are all in the same group, even if he knows the Tao, it is impossible to tell me!" I've already thought of a good idea, didn't Liu Linxiang see me? Good! I'll let him see me obediently! ”

Shen Wanqing asked, "Do you have such a way?" ”

Lin Yuan replied: "Of course, let's send the sample of the newspaper to Beijing, so that the people in Beijing can also see this matter, I know that the Emperor and the Queen Mother read our newspaper, and they will definitely pressure Liu Linxiang to punish the factory owner after they see it, does Liu Linxiang have a way to take the foreigners?" No! So he can only come to me! ”

Soon the number was printed, and after printing, a newsboy took out the paper to sell, and a day later, Lin Yuan called a newsboy over and asked, "How was yesterday's number takeaway?" ”

The newsboy replied: "It sold very well, it turned out that a newspaper only needed one copper plate, but yesterday's issue had already sold three copper plates, so it was all sold out." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This shows that more and more people are paying attention to this matter." He asked the newsboy to go back, contacted Beijing, and learned that Beijing's newspapers were selling better, and the streets and alleys were talking about this matter, and Emperor Guangxu had issued a holy decree to order Liu Linxiang, a Taoist in Shanghai, to investigate the matter thoroughly!

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that the day when Liu Linxiang will come to me is not far away!" Sure enough, someone came to report in the afternoon: "Liu Linxiang of Shanghai Daotai asks to see!" ”

Lin Yuan asked Liu Linxiang to come in, and when he came in, Lin Yuan didn't even mean to stand up and say hello, and said coldly: "Lord Liu, chickenpox is getting better so soon?" ”

Liu Linxiang smiled embarrassedly and said, "This is to serve the saint with illness, I hope Lord Lin will help me say a lot of good words in front of the saint......"

Lin Yuan waved his hand fiercely and said: "Needless to say, I know what you want to do here, don't you dare to arrest someone, you tell me the address, and I will take someone to arrest someone!" ”

Liu Linxiang hurriedly said: "People can't be caught, the humble position is to ask Lord Lin to give the saint a letter of excerpt and persuade the saint, this matter is to turn a blind eye." ”
