When Shen Wanqing heard this, she felt that her heart would not beat, she glared at Lin Yuan fiercely, and sneered: "Okay, Lin Yuan, you are still fighting with me, I really regret knowing you!" ”

By the time Shen Wanqing ran back to her house, it was already dark, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help crying, at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Yuan's voice sounded: "Wanqing, it's me, open the door, okay?" ”

Shen Wanqing didn't move, didn't even say a word, and soon heard the sound of opening the door with a key, as soon as the door opened, Lin Yuan walked in, shook the key in his hand, and said with a smile: "Look, I know that you won't open the door for me, so I specially asked the administrator for the key." ”

Shen Wanqing still didn't speak, Lin Yuan smiled and walked to her side and sat down, and then said, "Are you still angry?" ”

Shen Wanqing moved to the side, far away from Lin Yuan, turned her back to Lin Yuan, and without speaking, Lin Yuan stepped forward again and said with a smile: "I am talking like that today for your own good, you see, the soldiers and Master Li who are present today, they don't know about us, and they don't know your true identity, you come up and talk to me in that tone, if this matter spreads, the Japanese spies will definitely be suspicious of your identity." ”

"You're not like me, I'm usually either in the yamen or in the army, so people who want to harm me can't get in at all, but you're different, you have to be in contact with all kinds of people in society, what if someone wants to harm you? I know how good you are, but it's easy to dodge with open guns, and it's hard to defend against hidden arrows, even if you don't have eyes behind your back, something will inevitably happen, so I'll just say those words, and they won't guess our relationship, and you'll be safer. ”

Shen Wanqing still didn't move, and Lin Yuan said again: "Regarding Wang Tianmu's matter, I apologize, but I didn't think it through, not only did I fall for him, but also let Cailing kill him, don't be angry, okay?" ”

Lin Yuan tentatively reached out to pat her shoulder, and when the hand touched her shoulder, she did not resist, but obediently let him hold it, Lin Yuan's heart moved, and thought, "She must not be angry anymore." With a simple force, he directly turned her body over.

Lin Yuan looked at her eyes that were red from crying, and smiled softly: "Okay, okay, don't cry." ”

Shen Wanqing said apologetically: "Actually, there is something wrong with me, in front of so many people, I shouldn't talk to you like that, I will never do that again." ”

Lin Yuan gently hugged her in his arms and said softly: "Regarding that Japanese spy, let's find a way, we have eliminated the biggest spy network, and these fish that slipped through the net can't make any trouble." ”

Shen Wanqing nodded in his arms, rubbing his chest, Lin Yuan hugged him a little tighter, and Shen Wanqing suddenly said, "I have a way to find the Japanese spy." ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "What's the way?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "You remember those women, they were sent by the Japanese, maybe they will know their situation." ”

Lin Yuan said, "Okay, let's go find them." ”

After Lin Yuan caught those women, he didn't think about how to deal with them for a while, so he locked them in the big mansion, Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing found a room with the lights on, Lin Yuan was just about to go in, Shen Wanqing stopped him and said, "Let's wait first, listen to what they have to say." ”

Lin Yuan listened intently, only to hear a young female voice inside say, "Mom, I'm hungry." ”

Another woman's voice sounded: "Mom, I'll go find something to do tomorrow, good baby, bear with me a little longer." ”

After hearing this, Lin Yuan whispered to Shen Wanqing: "I didn't expect that the youngest and the eldest were actually a mother and daughter!" ”

Shen Wanqing sighed, and at this time the lights in the room were blown out, and Shen Wanqing said, "Let's go in." With that, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The lights in the room came on again, and the elderly woman opened the door to look at Shen Wanqing and said, "Do you have something?" Please come to the house and talk about it. ”

After sitting down, Shen Wanqing asked, "Haven't you eaten yet?" ”

The woman nodded and whispered, "I haven't eaten anything since I was caught." ”

Lin Yuan frowned, called the guards outside, and asked, "Why don't you give them something to eat?" ”

The guard said, "They are all Japanese, why should they be given something to eat?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Go to the kitchen and get something, this is an order." ”

The guards just came out, and Shen Wanqing looked at the little girl who was huddled in a ball on the bed and asked, "Is she your daughter?" ”

The woman said helplessly: "That's right, the family really has no money, so I can only come out to do this, and she can suffer less with me." ”

At this time, the guards brought a few steamed buns, and the little girl held them and gnawed them when she saw them, and Shen Wanqing asked, "How did you come to China?" ”

The woman said: "The county governor will go to our village to recruit people, and if you can't get by, you can go to China." ”

Shen Wanqing asked in surprise, "What?" Did the government organize you to come? ”

The woman nodded and said, "That's right, when we get to China, we will be sent to those places, and a small part of the money earned will be kept for ourselves, and most of the rest will be handed over to the government through foreign banks." ”

Lin Yuan whispered to Shen Wanqing: "These things are not surprising, since the Meiji Restoration, there have been Japanese women who have come to China to sell prostitution in exchange for foreign exchange for the Japanese government, such people are called 'Tang Xingwomen', and the situation is also quite miserable." ”

Shen Wanqing nodded, and then asked, "Then how did you get to Wang Tianmu's house?" ”

The woman said, "It was sent by a man, but I don't know who he is, and we were blindfolded when we came." ”

Shen Wanqing shook her head lightly and said: "It seems that this clue will not work, if we follow the catch, at most we will find out the den of selling spring, as for the clues of Japanese spies, there will be no clues at all." ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "In this case, let's send someone to secretly monitor their spring dens first, and if we find something suspicious, we will do it." ”

The two of them came out, and found other women and asked again, but they didn't find any clues, so the two reluctantly returned to Shen Wanqing's residence, and Lin Yuan asked, "Didn't you say that there was something important today?" What the hell is going on? ”

Shen Wanqing took out a document from the cabinet and said, "This is the information I just got today, it is an internal account sheet of HSBC. ”

Lin Yuan took it, only to see that it was full of dense numbers and tables, Lin Yuan asked, "What can be seen on this?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "This account sheet was used to bribe Qing court officials. ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Bribe? Why didn't they look for me? ”

Shen Wanqing said: "They bribed the officials of the household department, and their purpose was very simple, that is, to get the household department to accept British railway loans. ”

Lin Yuan said: "It seems that the British are sure that we have no silver, and a lot of silver is needed to build the railway. ”

Shen Wanqing asked, "Then do we want to borrow from foreign countries?" ”

Lin Yuan shook his head lightly and said, "We must find a way to solve this batch of silver by ourselves." ”
