1928: The rise of giant merchants

Chapter 254 Big Tiger

What news is more exciting than that the second brother also bought it?

Of course my eldest brother also bought it!

Lu Yusheng, who forced a smile in front of the two brothers, returned to the Lu Mansion and immediately called the operator.

After a beep, the call was connected.

"Hello, is this Secretary-General Li?" Lu Yusheng held the phone, groveling, and his voice was quite low.

"Who?" The voice on the other side was very young.

"It's me, Shanghai Tang Xiaolu, Lu Yusheng."

"Oh, what do you want, Boss Lu?"

"That Jiang An"

"Don't worry, we never fail in our work. On the morning of the 30th, the task force will arrive in Shanghai. You have to restrain your manpower. No matter what the people in the task force ask, they don't know anything. They only say that the Jiangan ship is used for import. For tea and silk cargo ships, Yongxing Company is not involved in the tobacco sales and transportation business, do you understand?"

"Got it, got it!"

"Well, as long as you understand. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

"Oh, wait a minute. Well, Secretary-General Li, these goods should be"

"When the goods arrive in Shanghai, your mission is completed. Don't worry about anything else. Just keep your mouth shut."

"Okay, okay, I understand. The deal is done, between me and the 'big boss'"

"It's all because of you. Peace of mind is that I'm dead."

The other party seemed extremely impatient and hung up the phone directly.

Hearing the sound stop suddenly, Lu Yusheng's apologetic face suddenly darkened. After a long time, he spat, put his hands behind his back and left, muttering "What the hell, you are a bitch, you are a bitch, you are taking advantage of others", and then he moved towards Xin Na's mother and daughter. Walk into the room.

A mansion somewhere in Jinling.

The young bespectacled man with a slicked back hair put down the phone, hesitated for a moment, turned and walked towards the study on the second floor, stayed at the door for a few minutes, and then knocked on the door: "Minister, Lu Yusheng called."

Five minutes later, the door opened.

"biubiubiu! You're dead!"

The little girl with a gun in her hand ran out and "shot" at the man with glasses, laughing and running, very lively.

"Ah, I'm dead~" The man with glasses acted out a play in cooperation. Then he caught a glimpse of the gun in the little girl's hand and was shocked when he realized that it was a real gun!

"Ajun, let's go out to play. Dad and Uncle Li have something to say." The middle-aged man with a Chinese-style face doted on his daughter's head, sent her downstairs, and waved the man with glasses into the study.

"Lu Yusheng didn't leak any information, did he?" He poured himself a cup of tea and asked calmly.

The man with glasses nodded: "He doesn't dare. If he says anything, he will die without a burial place. And if the news is really leaked, he should receive a call from the principal now."

"Yes. Are the members of the task force ready?" The middle-aged man nodded slightly.

"Zhang Zhijiang and Wei Daoming still have trouble getting in. Everyone else has collected money and cards." The man with glasses lowered his head and said, "I have already told Lu Yusheng not to say anything."

"It's understandable. The Chairman of the Anti-Smoking Committee and the Minister of Justice and Administration who just took office have to do something practical." The middle-aged man sneered, "But it doesn't matter much, just the two of them, they can't make any waves. .”

"When the Jiang'an ship's cargo leaves Shanghai, you will send someone to take care of Lu Yusheng to avoid future troubles." He added.

The man with glasses nodded.

November 29, the 17th year of the Republic of China (1928), 9 p.m.

Shiliupu Pier.

A small cargo ship slowly landed under the bright lights of the port.

There are only people from Ye's Sports Company and the security company at this ferry, and there are dozens of dock gang members on the outside to guard against anyone secretly peeping or causing harm to the important figures at the port.

Ye Luo stood in the wind accompanied by Xiao Aqiao, Shi Jianqiao, Hengsan and others. After several people on the boat confirmed that it was safe, a few young people jumped out first, and then they helped a middle-aged man and a young man off. Boat.

"President Zhang, welcome to Shanghai!" Ye Luo reached out and shook hands with the dusty Zhang Zhijiang, "Has the journey been smooth?"

"Oh, don't mention it. It's an old bone. If you keep doing this a few times, it will be buried." Zhang Zhijiang is seasick. His legs are still weak and his face is pale.

The young man next to him looked a little better. After seeing Ye Luo, he looked up and down first, and then stepped forward to shake hands with him: "I have long admired your name, Second Young Master! I am Wei Daoming."

"Hello, Minister Wei." Ye Luo smiled and shook hands with him, "I have long admired your name!"

Wei Daoming is twenty-seven years old this year, only one year older than little Aqiao, but he has already reached the rank of Minister of Justice and Administration, and is one of the top officials of the National Government.

He can also be regarded as an example of the rise of civilians.

Wei Daoming came from an ordinary family. In his early years, he was fortunate enough to study law at the University of Paris through the work-study program in France founded by Li Shizeng.

While studying abroad, Wei Daoming met Mr. Zhu Guangcai, who was also studying science and engineering at the University of Paris, and they maintained a friendship for half a century.

Zhu Guangcai later became a famous scientist, educator, and translator, which was also a major boost to his career.

What really made Wei Daoming leap over the dragon's gate was Zheng Yuxiu, a law classmate he met at the University of Paris and who later became his first wife.

Zheng Yuxiu joined Mr. Sun's Tongmenghui in 1906. After that, he traveled around for the Tongmenghui while studying hard in Paris. After returning to China in 24 years, he joined the revolution. In 26 years, he and his classmate Wei Daoming established Wei Zheng United Lawyers in the French Concession in Shanghai. Firm, setting a precedent for female lawyers.

Later, Wei Daoming served successively as Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Deputy Minister of Justice, Acting Minister, and Minister of Justice and Administration. As a result, the United Law Firm closed down. Zheng Yuxiu was appointed by the National Government as the president of Hosei University in Shanghai!

It is worth mentioning that Zheng Yuxiu had a very bad relationship with Zheng Zemin, the president of the Shanghai Bund Lawyers Association. When she was a lawyer, she had many court battles with Zheng Zemin in the French Concession Special Court.

Zheng Zemin is one of the protective umbrellas who secretly supports Wei Laosan and other Taihu water bandits.

Wei Daoming and Zhang Zhijiang arrived in Shanghai early tonight because they wanted to be separated from the rest of the task force, hoping to get some different news as soon as possible.

In the past few days, Zhang Zhijiang did not expect that most of the people traveling with him were bribed by the masterminds behind the scenes. He and Wei Daoming were also hinted at, but did not accept it.

After hearing the news from Zhang Zhijiang, Ye Luo immediately arranged the cargo ship and itinerary, and received the two of them safely.

At this time, the Nationalist government was in a mess, with external power and internal cadres. Ye Luo was not surprised at all that something like this happened.

He was just curious about who could be so knowledgeable that he could easily bribe even the task force.

"The other party is hiding very deep, and the clues are basically cut off. I can only rely on Second Young Master's influence in Shanghai to see if you can pull out his fox tail." Wei Daoming sneered, "As a high-level cover-up The transportation of heavy cigarettes shows that the principal doesn’t take it seriously at all!”

I'm afraid that the principal in your mouth is also

Ye Luo didn't say anything, he just smiled lightly, cupped his fists and said, "You should do your best."
