The next day, Wang Renqiang reported that Chen Gongshu of Huhai District had approached him, claiming that Boss Dai had asked him to intercede with the concession police station to bail out the arrested people and goods from the Kuomintang side......

After listening to this, Li Junhao laughed angrily, these people, if they don't want to talk about it, they still want goods - although the tobacco has been burned, there are other smuggled goods, weapons, and industries, which are too ignorant compared to the Anglo-Dutch East India Company, so they don't bother to pay attention to them.

The Green Gang sent someone to ask for the head of the first deputy chief of the police department, Berry Webb, and the request was similar to that of the Kuomintang, which was also a delusional type.

The Japanese side, which suffered huge losses this time, couldn't even find anyone to intercede! Now everyone knows that Mr. Pan Sen is not kind to the Japanese, how dare the people in the concession accept the invitation to touch the boss's bad head! ——

On this day, the Criminal Court began to hear the case involving Wang Chai Shan Tong, and this time it was even faster, with only two days of trial and a verdict on the third day! This time it was even more severe, as many as 115 people were sentenced to death alone, and more than 100 people were all sentenced to more than 10 years of heavy sentences, and they were not released!

In addition, the criminal court announced that the so-called "Huazhong Hongji Shantang" is an out-and-out tobacco smuggling organization, which seriously violates the laws and regulations of the concession, so it is characterized as an illegal organization, resolutely banned and cracked down, and issued a wanted warrant for its first offender, Li Ming (Japanese Satomifu), and more than ten main criminals who are still at large!

When the news broke, of course, the citizens applauded, while the other forces had different thoughts, and those who were pro-Japanese were, of course, were more hostile to the concession authorities as much as the Japanese, while those who stood on the anti-Japanese side could not help but worry about the concession side and that the Japanese would take retaliatory measures.

Subsequently, someone noticed that among the prisoners sentenced to death, the first place was Sheng Laosi! Now, there are many people who can't sit still!

Sheng Laosi, whose real name is Sheng Enyi, is Sheng Xuanhuai's fourth son, and he himself defected to the Japanese as a traitor, of course, it is extremely hateful, but for the sake of Sheng Xuanhuai's face, many people think that Sheng Laosi can't be killed!

Sheng Xuanhuai (November 4, 1844 - April 27, 1916), the name Xingsun, was a native of Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture, JS Province. An official in the late Qing Dynasty, a talented scholar, a government-run businessman, a comprador, a representative of the Western-style faction, a famous politician, entrepreneur and philanthropist, known as the "father of Chinese industry", "father of Chinese business" and "father of Chinese higher education", is an indispensable and important figure in modern Chinese history.

Sheng Xuanhuai's life experience is legendary, his achievements are extraordinary, his influence is huge, and he is famous at home and abroad, and it will be passed on to future generations. Today, although he has been dead for more than 20 years, his influence in China's political and business circles is still huge.

Therefore, when they heard that their fourth son Sheng Enyi was sentenced to death, many people who had been favored by Sheng Xuanhuai or admired him couldn't sit still!

Although Sheng Enyi is the fourth, but his three elder brothers have died early, he is the actual eldest of the Sheng family's children, he has always been gentle, and the relationship with his younger siblings is not very good, and after the start of the Anti-Japanese War, he cooperated with the Japanese to run Hongji Shantang, served as the director of the Japanese-run Huazhong Hydropower Company, and became a traitor, which made the younger siblings despised.

Before he was arrested in the anti-crime operation in the concession, his younger siblings didn't even want to care about him, thinking that it was okay to let him suffer, but at this time, when he heard that he was sentenced to death, he couldn't sit still and began to mobilize his family connections to rescue.

Sheng Enyi has many brothers and sisters, and several of them are quite powerful, and his fifth brother Sheng Chongyi currently runs a bank company in the concession Bund, engaged in the financial industry and real estate industry, with strong assets, and is a well-known tycoon.

His seventh brother Sheng Shengyi had a close relationship with the Kuomintang Kong and Song families, and before the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the director of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui Unified Taxation Bureau of the Kuomintang government, and was in charge of the taxation power in Jiangnan; After the start of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, he went to Chongqing and served as the chairman of Huafu Tobacco Company, and the "Huafu brand" cigarettes produced were sold all over the world, and it was currently the first brand of domestic wanted cigarettes.

Her fifth sister Sheng Guanying and the Song sisters have a very close relationship, before the Song family was developed, the Song eldest sister used to be her tutor, and they are still in frequent contact with each other.

Sheng Aiyi, his sister-in-law and one of the two famous seven ladies in Shanghai, was Song Ziwen's lover, and later married his mother, Mrs. Zhuang's nephew, Zhuang Zhujiu, at the age of 32. She allocated 600,000 taels of silver from her inheritance to build the Paramount Ballroom, which was praised by the outside world as "the first music house in the Far East" in Shanghai, and later sold and transferred.

Although Sheng Enyi himself is a loser, he still has a certain talent in management, has a lot of property, many networks, and even when the Song family was not in power, Song Ziwen served him as a secretary.

The relationship between this big family should not be underestimated, and soon the pressure was passed on.

——

On Friday, April 5, as soon as he got to work in the morning, a telegram from the Chongqing embassy was sent, and Acting Consul General Sheen knew that he could not manage Pan Sen's affairs, so he sent someone to send the telegram to the headquarters.

The telegram was sent by Colonel Bao Ruide, military attache of the embassy, explaining that yesterday Kong Xiangxi, premier of the Nationalist Government, and Song Ziwen, chairman of the board of directors of the Bank of China, had met with him and asked him to help rescue Sheng Enyi, who had been sentenced to death, and hoped that Pan Sen would give careful consideration to the matter...... Although there is no command in it, the attitude is very resolute, and it has a tone that people must be released.

Li Junhao really wanted to ignore him, but no, the Kong and Song families have expressed their positions, these two can fully influence the attitude of the Kuomintang government, and Bao Ruide's words also have a certain amount of truth - you can't affect the relationship between the two countries because of one person.

However, he had promised to let a group of legal professionals led by Zheng Yue adjudicate impartially, and if he wanted to come forward to let Sheng Laosi go, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? Moreover, he can be sure that if he really does this, Zheng Yue and the others will probably hang up their crowns and leave!

At this moment, the guards came to report that there were two guests visiting outside the barracks, and the worship post was written Sheng Chongyi and Sheng Aiyi, and it was the Sheng family!

To be honest, Li Junhao was still very interested in Sheng Xuanhuai's descendants, so he asked Xiaoyu to bring people in.

A moment later, two middle-aged men and a woman in Western-style dresses came to the reception room, the man was nearly fifty, wearing a hand-made light gray suit, looking like a shrewd businessman;

The lady looked less than forty, with a delicate face, wearing a blue cheongsam on a white background and a beige windbreaker, but her temperament was a little strong.

Out of politeness, Li Junhao stood up and greeted him, but he didn't go out of the door, with his current status, this is enough, even if Song Ziwen comes, it is the same.
