King of Secret Service

It would be great if the general was willing to see them. With your presence, the grain merchants should not go on strike.

Old Liao laughed.

Liang Xiao smiled slightly, these.....grain merchants thought he held military power, no matter...

In government affairs, they can do whatever they want. They seem to have forgotten that they still have an identity, the head of the Military Control Bureau.

"General Liang, I'm sorry to trouble you. There are still some complicated and trivial matters to be dealt with in the government. I won't bother you if I'm old."

Elder Liao got up to say goodbye.

"Mr. Liao, go slowly."

Liang Xiao got up to see him off, until Mr. Liao's back disappeared from the gate, he turned and returned to the living room.

"Adjutant Chen."

"arrive."

"Go and find out where Miss Zhao Si lives. I will visit her at 27 later."

"Yes."

...in a short while.

Chen Hua reported: "I found out, Miss Zhao Si lives in Cheng'an Garden in the foreign concession, and the military intelligence station has notified Miss Si that you can visit Miss Si at any time."

"Is there any information about her at the military intelligence station?"

Liang Xiao asked casually.

"Since Shanghai was liberated, the fourth lady has been living in the French Concession. On the surface, she handles business matters for the young marshal, but secretly contacts people from various democrats, intending to rescue the young marshal. The military intelligence station follows your order and withdraws. I left the plainclothes who monitored her, but the military intelligence station has detailed information about her activities in Shanghai."

Chen Huadao.

"Young commander-in-chief will not be able to come out. Since ancient times, the most taboo thing for those in power is military remonstrance. Besides, even if the young commander-in-chief can really come out, what face will he have to face the people of the world, and how will he face the folks in the northeast? Rather than being scolded by the people, it is better to spend the rest of my life in peace."

Liang Xiao said lightly.

Say it.

He suddenly remembered.

Miss Zhao Si disposed of her property during the Anti-Japanese War in Songhu, why did a grain store pop up all of a sudden, "What's going on with her...grain store?"

Liang Xiao asked.

"The military information station only said that Miss Zhao Si spent a lot of money in Shanghai. She had to entertain a lot of famous people every day and give them gifts. These... all needed money, so her The price in the grain store is the same as that of the Shanghai merchants.”

Chen Huadao.

"If the young commander finds out that Miss Zhao Si has become a greedy profiteer in order to rescue him, he will probably die of shame and anger."

Liang Xiao's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

"What the general said is, do you still want to visit her?"

Chen Hua asked.

"go."

The corner of Liang Xiao's mouth flashed a meaningful one-night dewy love between him and Miss Fourth, and it was a great pleasure to meet the old man again.

"Yes, I'm going to prepare now."

Chen Hua turned around and went down to make arrangements. These trivial matters were all the responsibility of her adjutant.

......French Concession.

The flow of people is like a tide, the traffic is busy, and it is very lively.

Since the liberation of Shanghai, the population of the concession has gradually increased. There are stalls on the street, peddlers walking the streets, and acrobats performing on the street. It is a lively and noisy scene.

Liang Xiao was wearing a black windbreaker and a black hat, walking on the bustling street.

Looking at the bustling state of the concession.

It's like the concession two years ago.

At that time, it was also so bustling, full of people, and endless noise.

Beside him, Chen Hua's glamorous face was full of excitement, the former prosperous place in Shanghai finally slowly recovered.

Liang Xiao waved for a rickshaw, the seat of this rickshaw was big enough for two people to sit on it without being crowded at all.

Therefore, he dragged Chen Hua into a rickshaw and headed towards Cheng'an Garden.

Half an hour later, he appeared at the gate of Cheng'an Garden.

Miss Zhao Si, who got the news early in the morning, was wearing a black fur coat and a scarf. She was graceful and graceful, like a lady.

After Liang Xiao got out of the car, he couldn't help but take a second look. Compared with last year, Miss Zhao Si's appearance seemed a little more beautiful.

"Miss Fourth, long time no see."

He smiled and walked over to say hello.

"Why did the general think of Yidi today? I think you are in power now, and you have forgotten Yidi long ago."

Miss Zhao Si said with a moving smile.

Hearing Liang Xiao's words, she couldn't help feeling distracted for a while.

After all, I had a dewy relationship with myself overnight, and when we meet again at this time, the emotion is better than the flowers of yesterday.

"What is Miss Si talking about? Although Liang is busy with...official duties, Liang is still clear about Miss Si's actions in Shanghai."

Liang Xiao smiled meaningfully.

After saying this, Miss Zhao Si's pretty face changed slightly. For a while, she couldn't figure out what Liang Xiao meant here. Could it be that her frequent meetings with democrats had aroused the vigilance of the higher-ups? Quan, even in this concession, your eyes and hands are open to the sky, and what Yidi is doing is just seeking to survive in this troubled world."

Miss Zhao Si laughed.

"Life is like a dog in troubled times, Liang feels deeply."

Looking at her pretty face, Liang Xiao couldn't help but think of her collusion with profiteers, and couldn't help feeling angry.

The profiteers entrap the common people,61 because they want to earn more profits.

As for the Young Marshal and Miss Zhao Si, they shouldn't have cheated the people, because before this, they have cheated tens of millions of compatriots in the Northeast.

"General Liang finally came here, how can he talk outside, please come inside."

Miss Zhao Si asked with an elegant posture.

"it is good."

Liang Xiao was also polite, striding into Miss Zhao Si's residence in the foreign concession.

Come to the lobby.

Liang Xiao was sitting upright, and Fourth Miss made him a cup of fragrant tea by herself.

"General, try Yidi's tea skills."

Miss Zhao Si smiled lightly.

"Liang is a rough man. Tasting tea and discussing plum blossoms can only be done by literati."

Liang Xiao picked up the tea and took a small sip, then put down the cup.

"The general is not... a rough man."

Zhao Si laughed.

"Miss Fourth has been in Shanghai for a while, but have you encountered any difficulties?"

Liang Xiao asked with a smile.

"If you talk about difficulties, there is really one thing right now."

Miss Zhao Si chuckled and said: "This morning, the citizens rushed up and robbed a grain store in the public area. This grain store has more than 5000 catties of grain in stock, and all of them were looted by the citizens."

"Oh."

Liang Xiao said lightly: "This kind of thing still happens in broad daylight."

Chapter 335 Dispute, Miss Zhao Si

"To tell you the truth, General, Yi Di was also surprised for a long time when he heard about it. Shanghai is under the general's jurisdiction, so it really shouldn't have happened."

Fourth Miss Zhao said with a light smile, but there was a trace of reproach in her tone.

Liang Xiao sneered in his heart, if it wasn't for them blindly driving up the grain price, the common people would rush into it.

In his opinion, the food robbing of these profiteers is a very happy thing.

"Miss Four believes that this matter is Liang's responsibility"

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, his tone suddenly cold.

Seeing that he was not happy, Miss Zhao Si smiled lightly and said, "Yidi didn't say that this matter is the general's responsibility. As the highest military and political officer in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, the grain store was robbed, and the responsibility is not yours. , As for the garrison headquarters and the police station, they, as the military and police force for public security in Shanghai, failed to reach the scene at the first moment of the riot,,, when they arrived, those... ...the people have already fled wrapped in grain bags."

"If you want to pursue responsibility, you should severely punish the police station and the police headquarters. If they didn't arrive too late, why did the grain merchants suffer such a big loss?"

Liang Xiao said: "Miss Fourth, have you ever thought about why the common people rush to snatch it?"

"Because they have no money, but they want to eat, and they can't buy it, so they have to rob it."

Miss Zhao Si said.

"Liang... forgot, the fourth lady came from a scholarly family, so she doesn't know much about the sufferings of the people."

Liang Xiao said indifferently: "The common people rob food because they can't afford it. Why can't they afford it? It's because the grain merchants drive up the price of grain for their own self-interest, causing the price of grain to remain high. Ordinary people earn a few dollars a day. Faced with such a high price of food, can they afford it?"

"If you can't afford it, you can't rob it. The state has state laws, and the family has family rules. Just because they don't have money to buy food, we can't allow them to rob food in the street."

Miss Zhao Si retorted.

"No one condones them robbing food. As the saying goes, rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone humans..."

Liang Xiao also didn't want to argue with her about these things...... It's just that there are some things, it's better to talk about it, so as to avoid him being ruthless and being charged with cruelty and inhumanity.

"The general's visit this time will not be to discuss with Yidi about the food being robbed."

Miss Zhao Si doesn't want to continue arguing with Liang Xiao on this issue.

"of course not."

Liang Xiao looked at her pretty face, and said: "Ms. Liang knows every move of the Fourth Miss in Shanghai. I advise the Fourth Miss not to make trouble. Now is the period of the Anti-Japanese War. Any factor that is not conducive to the unity and resistance is... Destroying the War of Resistance is undoubtedly a crime of treason.”

As soon as he said it, he put a traitor's hat on her.

"Could it be that Yidi chatting with his friends is just... sabotaging the War of Resistance?"

Zhao Yidi has never heard of such an absurd conclusion.

"Then what kind of friends do you want to see and what topics to talk about? As far as Liang knows, Miss Fourth met with celebrities related to current affairs, and what she talked about was not in line with the unity and resistance theory."

Liang Xiao said.

"The general has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and he dominates the east of the river. He fights bravely. I thought you were a sensible person, but I didn't expect that you are no different from those... Same."

Zhao Si's voice calmed down, and he no longer had the enthusiasm he had when they first met.

"For Liang, the war of resistance comes first, and anyone who undermines the unity of the war of resistance will be a sinner of the country."

Liang Xiao sneered in his heart, she was still too naive, thinking that seeing someone could save the young commander, it was simply absurd.

"In the eyes of the general, Yidi is also a sinner of the country"

asked coldly.

"Liang Mou came today, not to argue with Fourth Miss who is right and wrong, but to warn Fourth Miss that some things should not be taken too far. Liang can turn a blind eye, but will others turn a blind eye?"

Liang Xiao said coldly.

"What does Yidi do, but ask for a clear conscience."

Miss Zhao Si put on a cold face, and almost opened the door to chase away the guests.

"He has a clear conscience. Let me ask you, if the young marshal really comes out, how will the people of the whole country treat him and how will he deal with himself?"

Liang Xiao asked coldly.

"Young Marshal has lofty ambitions. If he comes out, he will lead his troops to fight against the Japanese invaders and fulfill his greatest long-cherished wish in his life."
