The Changsha Station of the Military Command was not particularly enthusiastic in welcoming Meng Shaoyuan.

A special agent, Gong Desheng, was sent to receive him. Deputy station chief Gan Haiyuan, secretary Ruan Yiquan, and commander-in-chief Dou Lixin did not show up.

It's as if they don't know about it at all.

Or maybe it was a show of force.

It was impossible for them not to have heard of Meng Shaoyuan's name, and it was impossible not to know that he was Dai Li's confidant and favorite general, but it was still the case, and this was the only explanation.

This is Changsha, not Shanghai, let alone Chongqing.

You Meng Shaoyuan can make all the difference in Shanghai, and you can be like a fish in water in Chongqing, but your methods will not work in Changsha.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't care either.

He knew very well before he came that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake.

But if you want to solve the case, you have to have a good relationship with them.

"Hey, I have to go find my companions."

Sophia knocked on the door and came in.

"Are you alone?" Meng Shaoyuan looked at her: "Do you know the road to Changsha?"

"do not know."

"Then it's okay, I'll go with you."

Meng Shaoyuan stood up.

"you know?"

"It's my first time here. How can I meet you?"

"Then how can you accompany me?"

"The blind man touches the elephant, and the blind man asks for directions. Just ask."

…

Meng Shao was not originally named Li Zhifeng.

After all, this is Changsha. If Xue Yue's people encounter him, it will be difficult.

It was just him and Sophia, with a little friend.

"Now, what do we do?"

Sofia is completely unfamiliar with this city.

"Stop wandering around on the street." Meng Shaoyuan had already thought about it: "You, a foreign girl, are so eye-catching when you walk on the street. Come on, let's find someone who can help us. We must

Find your companions."

"Thank you." Sophia said a rare "thank you": "My companion's name is Alison. She was my guide in this industry and she took good care of me at the beginning."

"It's useless to say thank you." Meng Shaoyuan muttered in a low voice: "It's enough to sleep with me... Oops, it hurts, it hurts, my arm is broken, broken!"

…

"Changju Changsha Company".

Although it was also destroyed in the Wenxi Fire, Changju Changsha Company was re-established as soon as possible.

When you walk in, you can still see what it looked like after the disaster, but most of the places have been renovated.

The manager here, Du Xunkui, is a capable person and is very knowledgeable in all aspects of Changsha. After the great fire in Changsha, he was able to obtain materials that others could not obtain.

Moreover, after the fire, victims appeared in large numbers, and food became a problem. Du Xunkui immediately made a condition that anyone who came to help Changju rebuild would not only receive wages, but also get double meals.

As a result, many disaster victims no longer cared about their own houses and went to Changju to work.

In just two days, Changju was re-erected on the ruins.

It seems that Du Xunkui spent a lot of extra money, but if Changju can open the business one day earlier, he can do business one day earlier. The money he earns from this trip has long made up for the extra wages.

Moreover, the day after the fire, Du Xunkui, who had a lucky escape, found a radio station and sent an emergency call to Chongqing.

There is only one sentence above:

"Changsha has a huge fire and is in urgent need of supplies."

Qiu Shenghe, who was based in Chongqing, understood immediately and immediately organized a large amount of supplies to rush to Chongqing.

He also told Meng Shaoyuan's agent in Chongqing, Lu Yixuan, about the news.

Lu Yixuan heard this and told Qiu Shenghe:

"Changsha is hit by a disaster. If we make a fortune at this time, we will have a bad reputation that it is difficult for the country to make a fortune. I'm afraid it will be troublesome to settle accounts after the fall. I think all materials will be sold only at cost price. Some urgently needed materials will be donated to Changsha for free.

.”

"What a good idea!" Qiu Shenghe blurted out: "In this way, Changju's reputation will definitely become louder and become a model in Changsha's business community. Although we are losing a lot now, a good reputation is something that is hard to buy. In the future, even the Japanese will

If we occupy Changsha, we can still do business!"

Some of the materials urgently shipped from Chongqing to Changsha were sold at cost price, and some were simply donated. As expected, Changju was regarded as a living Bodhisattva by the Changsha victims.

Du Xunkui became more open to food in Changsha.

This was also the first time Meng Shaoyuan met Du Xunkui.

At the age of fifty, with a smile on his face, when he saw Meng Shaoyuan, he fell to his knees with a thud: "Du Xunkui has seen the great master sitting in the hall!"

Good guy, there are pao brothers everywhere in Sichuan. This is absolutely true. This Du Xunkui is actually also a pao brother.

However, Meng Shaoyuan was so much younger than him, so he was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly helped him up: "Boss Du is too polite, we are here, how can we be distinguished?"

"The rules must not be broken. Sir, please, you two."

Sofia looked curious. She really couldn't understand why a fifty-year-old man would kneel and kowtow to a young man.

…

The tea was brought from Fujian by Du Xunkui. It is fragrant and fragrant.

Du Xunkui said a few polite words, and then said: "The telegram from Shopkeeper Qiu has arrived, saying that Uncle Meng has arrived in Changsha. I will obey Uncle Meng's instructions in everything. If you have anything to do with Uncle Meng, please tell me."

"Boss Du, I have to ask you to help me find someone." Meng Shaoyuan said Alison's name and where she lived: "It was just a fire, I don't know if she still lives there."

"It's easy to handle. She's a foreigner, so it's easy to find her." Du Xunkui called his men, gave a few instructions, and sent them out: "Uncle Meng and the two of you just stay here to drink tea. News will be available soon."

Meng Shao originally came to him for more than just this matter: "Boss Du, let me ask you about someone."

"Master Meng, please speak."

"Do you know someone named He Xiuming?"

"He Xiuming? Of course I know him, Station Master He."

"You know he's the station manager?"

"I know, I know." Du Xunkui said immediately: "To the outside world, he is the manager of a trading company, but isn't he the director of the Juntong Changsha Station? Uncle Meng probably also knows that people from the Juntong Station often do

I have collaborated with him many times on some 'wading through water' business, and although our relationship cannot be said to talk about everything, it is still very close."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "He died suddenly. What do you know about the inside story?"

"I don't know the inside story." Du Xunkui mused: "We have a good relationship, but after all, he is a military commander, and I also know the rules. The less I know, the better, so we usually only talk about business matters.

However, there are still some clues. A few days before his death, he came to my place and looked very bad. When he saw me, he sighed. I asked him what was wrong, but he refused to tell me. He only said that he was aggrieved.

Ah. I guess I am angry with my wife at home again."

"What's wrong with your wife?"

Meng Shaoyuan asked further.

"You don't know." Du Xunkui shook his head: "The commander of the Changsha Station of the Military Command is considered the number one person, but he is a henpecked person. His wife's name is Yang Qiaoyue, and she is quite pretty.

, but he was very fierce and fierce. At home, He Xiuming only had to talk a little bit, and Yang Qiaoyue would beat whatever guy she found. Several times, He Xiuming was beaten until her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. What do you think of a grown man?

Can you reach this point without feeling aggrieved?"

Damn it, the dignified commander of the Changsha Station of the Military Command is always beaten by a woman?

Even Meng Shaoyuan was a little bit dumbfounded.

"A few days later, I heard the news of He Xiuming's death." Du Xunkui continued: "I heard that he suddenly felt distressed at night and died. It's normal. He Xiuming himself had a problem with distress. In my case,

There was an attack here once before. After her death, Yang Qiaoyue also reported to the police, but the police all knew He Xiuming's identity, and no one dared to intervene. It was Ruan Yiquan, the secretary of Changsha Station, who was pushed back and forth in the end.

I met and helped with the funeral.

Ruan Yiquan personally led the inspection and confirmed that He Xiuming died of heartache. I remember that Ruan Yiquan also hosted the funeral on the day of the funeral. Many people were there, including me."

This is not right.

If He Xiuming died normally due to illness, then Dai Li would not have used the word "violent death" and would not have personally deployed himself to Changsha.

Dai Li must have had eyes and ears in Changsha and must have discovered some problems.

"Boss Du."
