Chapter 647: Murder without blood(1/2)
Public opinion is a knife that kills people without blood. Although Lu Xiyan did not announce where the opium opium confiscated came from at the cigarette disposal conference, it cannot withstand the speculation and speculation of reporters and well-informed people!
News soon came in the newspaper that the 250 boxes of opium burned and destroyed by the burning and destruction came from Zhang Xiaolin's underground soil trip.
These opiums were shipped from sea and bought from the Japanese.
Zhang Xiaolin had already been a traitor publicly, but now he has partnered with the Japanese to smuggle opium and poison patriots. For a moment, the concession's voices of condemning Zhang Xiaolin were overwhelming.
The reporters wrote articles in newspapers to scold the Japanese, but if they were not done well, they would cause death. They would scold a traitor who smuggled and sold opium. There was no psychological pressure at all.
What's more, the harm of opium is well known to the whole world.
This is a universal value.
There are rumors that Zhang Xiaolin's eldest son, Zhang Fayao, was wandering around outside until late at night. He was addicted to smoking and asked his wife for opium ointment. Zhang Xiaolin, who happened to be unable to sleep because of public opinion, heard it.
When he saw his son becoming like this, he was confused and picked up a stick and beat Zhang Fayao to the ground begging for mercy.
It became a joke among the people for a while.
"A Si, why don't you take action?"
"Master, the Windsor Hotel is very cautious, and Tang Jin has also passed by at night and has not come out all night." A Si knelt in front of Zhang Xiaolin.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to do it, but that he doesn’t dare.
Even if their forces fight, they dare not rush in and fight and kill with the senior officials of the Firm Catching Room. Besides, it is not so easy to rush in.
"Bastard, this person surnamed Tang cannot get along with me?" Zhang Xiaolin angrily threw another teacup. In the past two days, seven or eight blue and white porcelain teacups at home have been thrown.
"Master, otherwise, let's find someone to talk to each other?"
"Tell me, a guy who is not dry, I need to bow to him. A bastard, are you asking for a fight, right?" Zhang Xiaolin picked up a vine and sucked it hard at A Si.
Bang!
At this moment, A Si screamed in pain, and a blood mark appeared clearly behind her back. It was hot and she was wearing less clothes. Zhang Xiaolin liked to beat and scold his servants at any time, and he didn't do anything serious. Even a confidant like A Si would dare not speak out.
"Master, please calm down. I'll go find someone on the road and offer a high price. I can definitely kill someone tonight." A Si hurriedly crawled on the ground and said.
"I can afford the money, just kill the person for me!" A strong murderous intent flashed in Zhang Xiaolin's eyes.
"yes!"
"Li Mi!"
"Master General." The butler Li Mi was at the door. When he heard Zhang Xiaolin calling him, he hurriedly walked in quickly.
"Go, find someone to block the mouths of those reporters and make public opinion bad. No matter how disgusting that kid is, I can do it. If I am shameless, I will let his whole family evaporate in the world!" Zhang Xiaolin came up fiercely, then he really dared to kill people.
"Yes, Grandmaster."
"Wait a minute, go and invite Lao Chen. I have something important to talk to him about." Zhang Xiaolin said that public opinion matters should also be dealt with.
"OK."
To get rid of this difficult situation, you must get enough opium in your hands. Otherwise, the market will be occupied and it will be difficult to get it back.
...
"This person is named A Si, and he is Zhang Xiaolin's confidant and his bodyguard captain. The person who appeared near the hotel yesterday should be his." Yan Lei posted a photo on the blackboard, pointing to a flat-headed man in his thirties on it and introduced.
"This Si has no name. He has been following Zhang Xiaolin for almost twenty years. He is very loyal. He has no wife or children. He usually likes to play some money..."
“Is there a breakthrough?”
"It's very difficult. Although Zhang Xiaolin beat and scolded his subordinates at every turn, he gave a lot of them. A Si picked it up from the garbage dump. He took him in because of his ruthlessness and ruthlessness at a young age. He treated Zhang Xiaolin like his own father. Unless Zhang Xiaolin had a murderous intention to kill him, he should not betray him." Yan Lei said.
"Where are the others around Zhang?" Lu Xiyan pondered for a moment.
"The bodyguards around Zhang can look for them, but if you don't have absolute trust, you are not qualified to enter Zhang's mansion, so it's not a small difficulty."
"Zhang Xiaolin was at most a gangster before, and he had not betrayed the country and nation, and became a traitor. Now it's different. The people under his command may not be willing to be a traitor with him, and he will bear the infamy for the rest of his life in the future." Lu Xiyan said, "Try to find it as much as possible, and you can always find the right candidate."
"clear."
"Is there any movement over Ji Yunqing?"
"We looked for a spy in Ji Mansion. It was a servant in Ji Mansion. The news she heard that Ji Yunqing was in a good mood these two days. Yesterday afternoon, she asked Wu Sibao to protect him to Yudechi."
"He is quite good at enjoying it. In such a hot day, aren't you afraid of heatstroke?"
“What’s going on with ‘76’?”
"The 76th No. 76 is quite calm these days, but Little Bee and the others think that this kind of calm is only temporary, I'm afraid that Ding Mocun and Lin Shiqun are planning some major conspiracy." Yan Lei said, "This time, there must be traitors within the Military Control Commission."
"Where is Wang Tianheng, how is his current situation?"
"I was locked in the reflection room, delicious food and drinks, and I didn't interrogate it. Lin Shiqun went to visit him from time to time, chatting about homely, just like an old friend."
"Lin Shiqun is not enough to be friends with Wang Tianheng, Ding Mo Village is almost the same." Lu Xiyan smiled and said in a deep voice, "Lin Shiqun is much more cunning than Ding Mo Village. He locked Wang Tianheng so much, and he didn't even interrogate him. I'm afraid he didn't have any kindness."
"Sir, should we save Wang Tianheng?"
"In theory, my lips are dead and my teeth are cold. I should reach out to pull him, but I also have to do what I can. No. 76 is very cautious, how can I save it?" Lu Xiyan shook his head helplessly.
"What you said makes sense."
...
Zhang Xiaolin now feels like he is living like a year. Although Huang Jinrong promised to give him some of the opium to solve his urgent needs, he has also paid a lot.
But this won't last long, and the next batch of goods will arrive in Shanghai at least half a month later.
Even if the ten boxes of oatmeal squeezed out by Jian Lifu were included, there was still half of the gap, and we must find a way to fill this half gap.
In Shanghai, who has the goods in hand?
Only Ji Yunqing, who took advantage of the situation, even if Zhang Xiaolin arranged for someone to go to a nearby city to acquire it at a high price, there was no news he received.
He realized that this time his opponent was not just Lu Xiyan, but also someone who had been suppressing him for so many years and was still influencing him.
Du Yuesheng!
He actually secretly got involved. Zhang Xiaolin knew very well that even if Du Yuesheng was not in Shanghai, his influence had never left.
A large group of loyal people under him are still watching his family business in Shanghai. Although his power is not as powerful as before, after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
This is to be killed!
Of course, there is no way out. The way out is to never trade opium from now on. But in that case, he will only decline faster.
It has always been a matter of pornography, gambling, drugs and drugs. If you don’t sell opium, it is equivalent to giving up the most profitable part. In other aspects, it is never possible to dominate the one. Opium trading can monopolize, and can you still monopolize the gambling platform and the place of love?
Although there are also righteous businesses, how many of the righteous businesses he does make money by making fair competition?
He is not Du Yuesheng yet. Du Yuesheng is flexible and good at being a human being. Although he was not a break in order to seize territory in the past, he still talks about some credibility, and at least he doesn't do much to kill everything.
He is different. He has always been cruel and ruthless, killing all things without leaving any trouble, and many people offend him. Now, as long as he makes a little mistake, he may collapse.
I can only ask Ji Yunqing, after all, I am a comrade in the Qing Gang. If he falls down, maybe it will be his turn next.
The British were compromising and tolerant to the Japanese on the surface, but in their hearts, they didn’t hate them. Ji Yunqing defected to the Japanese and helped the Japanese fight for police power in areas where the border crossing the border in the west of Shanghai was built.
Are the directors of the Ministry of Industry and Technology who represent the interests of Britain, the United States and the West really angry at all?
The Japanese also blackmailed every day, saying that they would occupy the concession by force, but now they don’t seem to mention it anymore, because in Nomenkan, the powerful and arrogant Kanto army was beaten up by the Soviets.
At this time, do they dare to make trouble in Shanghai?
Haven't you seen that the Japanese army slowed down their attacks on the frontal battlefield in central China?
On the entrusted by Zhang Xiaolin, Chen Qi went to Ji Mansion to vote for a visit and asked to meet Ji Yunqing.
Chen Qi is an old man from the Qing Gang. Where is his seniority? Even if he has personal grudges, it is all in the past. Ji Yunqing wants to give this face.
Ji Yunqing was very polite when he saw Chen Qi, but after Chen Qi explained his purpose, he did not refuse, but also put forward a condition: "Let Zhang Xiaolin talk to me by himself."
Chen Qi was very embarrassed. He thought he could represent Zhang Xiaolin, but Ji Yunqing refused to recognize him. It was not because he was not worth enough, but because Ji Yunqing wanted to suppress Zhang Xiaolin.
This is still the grudge between the "big eight-legged party" and the "little eight-legged party" back then. I finally found an opportunity. Can Ji Yunqing let it go?
Ji Yunqing said this very firmly. He just wanted to bow his head to him than Zhang Xiaolin. Even if he was a Japanese, he would be the head of this dog. You, Zhang Xiaolin, can only be a second dog.
Then call me, Zhang Ergou!
Return to Zhanggongguan.
Chen Qi told Zhang Xiaolin the original words of Ji Yunqing. He didn't need to add fuel to the fire, it was enough. He knew his brother too well.
Zhang Xiaolin looked gloomy. He rarely did not get angry. Maybe he was old and not so angry, or rather, getting angry was not helpful.
"Ahu, Ji Yunqing is just asking you to lower your head to him. At this moment, unless there is a second way to go, otherwise..."
"Old Chen, stop talking. I would rather talk to a boy named Lu than bow my head to him." Zhang Xiaolin said.
"Master, Mr. Weng San is here." Li Mi came in and reported.
"Please come in."
"yes."
"Master, Qi Gong, my subordinates heard a news. I don't know if it's true or not. I'll report it to you." Weng Zuoqing's sweat was soaked on his back.
"What news?"
