King of Secret Service

After finishing speaking, he took Chen Hua's willow waist and walked away quickly.

Unbearable flashed across Chen Huamei's eyes, but she hesitated to speak, she knew that Liang Xiao was not that kind of... hard-hearted person.

"Don't talk, there are too many beggars around here. They stare at us with green eyes. If we donate money, we will be surrounded by these beggars, which will easily cause unnecessary trouble."

Liang Xiao said softly.

Chen Hua nodded lightly, she knew that Liang Xiao was cautious, in this concession where fish and dragons were mixed together, he had to be careful everywhere, and definitely didn't mean to turn a blind eye.

"Let's go to the pharmacy first."

Liang Xiao embraced Chen Huachao and walked into a shop called Ankang Pharmacy.

The business of the pharmacy is booming, the shopkeeper is busy greeting customers, and two apprentices are grabbing medicines on the counter.

"Hello, both of you, are you seeing a doctor or taking medicine?"

The shopkeeper came over to say hello and asked.

"We don't see a doctor, and we don't take medicine."

Liang Xiao said.

"If you don't see a doctor or take medicine, what do you do in the pharmacy?"

The shopkeeper was immediately unhappy.

Liang Xiao leaned closer and whispered: "I heard from friends that your pharmacy has a special medicine called Yunnan Baiyao."

The shopkeeper immediately became alert, and said: "We don't have Yunnan Baiyao in our store, you can go to another pharmacy and ask."

"How could it not be? My friend bought Yunnan Baiyao from you two days ago."

Liang Xiao deliberately raised his voice a bit.

Chapter 5 and [-] Wing On Garden, Du Yuesheng

Immediately, everyone in the pharmacy looked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper became nervous in an instant, and hurriedly said: "Two days ago was two days ago, now is now, the French Concession Ministry of Industry has ordered that pharmacies are not allowed to sell special medicines for treating gunshot wounds, not to mention that there is no Yunnan Baiyao in the store, just ...Yes, I can't sell it to you, who knows if you are a Japanese spy."

Liang Xiao glanced at the shopkeeper, frowned and said, "Why did the Ministry of Industry and Bureau issue such an order? Could it be that we ordinary people can't even buy a medicine to treat trauma?"

"After so many days of fighting outside the concession, many Japanese spies and agents of the Chinese government have mixed in. Their activities in the concession are very rampant. In order to curb the activities of the Japanese spies and the spies of the Chinese government, the concession authorities do not allow major pharmacies to sell any medical treatment. Medicines for trauma, once found, according to: arrest and shoot for espionage, don't embarrass me, I still want to live a peaceful life for a few more years."

While explaining, the shopkeeper threw Liang Xiao and Chen Hua out of the pharmacy. What he said was not only for Liang Xiao, but also for other customers.

Liang Xiao did not expect that the French Concession authorities would issue such an order, but it is also reasonable, the Sino-Japanese war has been fought for so many days, and the medical resources are facing exhaustion, both sides want to buy anti-infective drugs in the concession, such a In the future, the neutrality of the French Concession will be broken. Only by prohibiting the sale of drugs can the activities of Chinese agents and Japanese agents in the concession be stopped.

"Let's go to other pharmacies."

Liang Xiao doesn't believe that all pharmacies dare not sell special anti-infection drugs, and in the face of interests, there will always be people who will take risks.

Next, he and Chen Hua visited many pharmacies in succession. These pharmacies did not dare to sell medicines for gunshot wounds, but in a Shengtai pharmacy, the shopkeeper hinted to Liang Xiao that his store had Yunnan Baiyao, but the price was not high. Fei, Liang Xiao inquired about the price, and suddenly became furious, a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao actually cost [-] oceans.

He once said to Xu Haodong that drug dealers are never allowed to raise the price of Yunnan Baiyao privately, but someone raised the price of Yunnan Baiyao to a sky-high price of [-] oceans a bottle.

"These ... unscrupulous drug dealers must be punished. They raise the price of drugs so high that ordinary people can't afford the drugs and can only wait to die in hospital beds. It is simply hateful."

Liang Xiaojian frowned and said coldly.

"Actually, I don't blame them. Before the Ministry of Industry and Commerce made an explicit ban, the price of Yunnan Baiyao was maintained at around [-] oceans. It didn't change much from our original price. Some drug dealers took the risk and raised the price dozens of times. But that’s good too, instead of doing publicity for Yunnan Baiyao, more people will know about Yunnan Baiyao, and thus increase the popularity of the drug.”

Chen Hua chuckled lightly and said, she was thinking from the perspective of interests, while Liang Xiao was thinking from the perspective of justice, different positions would naturally give different answers.

"Let's go and meet Du Yuesheng. There are so many people in the French Concession who are not well-off. He, the leader of the Youth Gang, should also contribute to the government."

Liang Xiao put aside the matter of Yunnan Baiyao for the time being, first solve the living problems of the people in the concession, and wait for him to free up, and then settle accounts with these... illegal profiteers.

Since the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War, Du Yuesheng lived in the French Concession.

Two days ago, Du Yuesheng sent someone to ask him about loyalty to save the country, but he was sent back.

Liang Xiao knew about Du Yuesheng's small plan, and this time the plan was in vain. The 2 armed forces of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army had already fallen into his hands. Instead: Now that the power of the [-] armed forces is in his hands, Du Yuesheng just... wants to intervene, but there is no chance.

Wing On Garden.

A well-known wealthy area in the French Concession.

Du Yuesheng, the leader of the Green Gang, lives in the No. 17 villa in Yong'an Garden.

Liang Xiao and Chen Hua took a rickshaw to the entrance of No. 17 of Yong'an Garden. After paying the fare, he looked towards the gate of the villa. Looking around, it's like facing a big enemy.

The leader of the Green Gang is Ah Si, Du Yuesheng's confidant. He was standing guard at the door when he suddenly saw a pair of handsome men and women getting off a rickshaw. He looked over vigilantly, but found that the young man looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered The identity of young men.

Ah Si hurried over, cupped his hands and said, "Master Liang."

Liang Xiao has a good memory, when Ah Si walked over, he already remembered the other person's name, and said in a low voice: "Ah Si, Liang has something to do.

See Boss Du, go in and report."

"Sir, I said that Young Master Liang is a distinguished guest of our Du Mansion, so you don't need to inform me when you come."

Ah Si moved out of the way, making a gesture of please.

Liang Xiao nodded lightly, and led Chen Hua into the villa.

Du Yuesheng is almost suffering from anxiety these days. After the Shanghai war broke out, his business has shrunk sharply, and many venues have closed down.

What worries him the most is the fate of the [-] youths of the Qing Gang. He heard that the war outside Shanghai was brutal and the national army suffered heavy casualties. There is no news from the sky, and we don't know the extent of the war.

He really regrets it now. He really shouldn't have listened to Liang Xiao's words and organized a gang of [-]. A gang of [-] people took to the battlefield.

"Sir, Chief Liang is here to visit."

Ah Si walked in to report.

"Who"

Du Yuesheng didn't hear clearly.

"Liang Xiao, Chief Liang."

Ah Si said it again.

"Quick, let him in."

Du Yuesheng had a lot of things to ask Liang Xiao clearly, and when he heard him coming to the door, he suddenly regained his energy.

"Boss Du."

A hearty laugh came from the door.

Du Yuesheng restrained his expression, maintained a calm and introverted demeanor, and got up to greet him.

Liang Xiao walked in from the door and said with a smile: "Boss Du is doing well these days."

"Thanks to you, everything is fine."

Du Yuesheng is a face-saving person, even though he has had a bad time during this time, he will not say it in person.

"Now that the war is in a mess, Boss Du can still sit in the mansion. With this kind of bearing, Liang feels ashamed."

Liang Xiao came here to ask Du Yuesheng, so naturally he had to say something nice.

"General Liang has won the award, Du has no tolerance, but he just doesn't want to pay attention to the disputes outside, and spends his days in the mansion secretly."

Du Yuesheng said lightly.

Chapter 5 and Seven

"What is Boss Du talking about? Now that the war outside is so fierce, how many people are there to spend their days in leisure?"

Liang Xiao said with a pointed smile.

"Please sit down."

Du Yuesheng smiled and asked Liang Xiao to sit down: He knew that Liang Xiao would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so he asked with a smile: "I entered the French Concession as you, not just to chat with Du Mou."

Liang Xiao sat down with a smile, and said: "Liang has something to ask..."

Du Yuesheng directly interrupted him: "You have something to do.

Asking Du, Du also has something to ask you."

There was a wry smile on the corner of Liang Xiao's mouth, Du Yuesheng was indeed an old fox, he was waiting for him here, and said: "Boss Du, if you have anything to say, just say it, but if Liang can do it, he will do his best."

Du Yuesheng said: "Du wants to ask General Liang to cancel the number of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army, so that the children of the Qing Gang can return to Shanghai."

Liang Xiao said in astonishment: "Boss Du, military and national affairs are no joke. The number of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army is set by the Military and Political Council. Liang is just a small major general. How can he have the right to cancel the number of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army? You can find the wrong one." people."

A flash of anger flashed in Du Yuesheng's eyes. Liang Xiao made it clear that he wanted to play tricks. At the beginning, he asked himself to form a militia armed with the backbone of the Qing Gang, but he promised several conditions, but none of them were fulfilled in the end: he even gave his [-] Qing Gang children to Abducted into the battlefield, Liang Xiao must give him an explanation, otherwise, he will never let it go.

"At the beginning, you promised me that you would not let the militia militias of the Youth Gang go to the battlefield, but now, the military and political council has transferred my [-] youths from the Qing Gang to the frontal battlefield with a single order. If they died in the battle, the government will give them a pension? Injured or disabled, will the government provide medical treatment? In short, Du does not care...

, the number of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army must be cancelled, and the children of the Qing Gang must also return to Shanghai Bund.”

Du Yuesheng pretended not to discuss this matter.

"Boss Du, please don't get angry. The Loyalty and National Salvation Army is an order from the Military and Political Council. Liang also sent a telegram to the committee. , the government grants pensions, the injured and disabled, the government sends them to the rear hospital for treatment, Boss Du has nothing to worry about.”

Liang Xiao said.

"Humph."

Du Yuesheng snorted coldly, and said: "The chairman...has a good plan, he doesn't give a cent of the military salary, and let the youths of the Qing Gang work for him, and all the good things in the world are let go. He took it."

"Boss Du said carefully, the national crisis is at the head of the line, and all my sons and daughters in China are responsible for defending the soil and resisting the war. The lives of the children of the Qing Gang are precious. Isn't the life of the hundreds of thousands of national soldiers on the Songhu battlefield not precious? They are also Raised by father and mother, who is willing to throw their lives on the battlefield, if everyone is as selfish as Boss Du, China will perish."

Liang Xiao said coldly.

"You said Du was selfish"

Sheng was furious. He donated money and food for the War of Resistance. A few days ago, in order to support the war in Shanghai, he even asked the disciples of the Qing Gang to give supplies to the German Army. If he had been selfish, he would not have mobilized the disciples of the Qing Gang to form militias. , of course he had a little selfishness in it, but he still wanted to hit the Japanese.

"The country is in ruins, tens of millions of people are slaves of the Japanese invaders, Boss Du still cares about his personal gains and losses, isn't this selfish?"

Liang Xiao said coldly.

"Liang Xiao, you know better than anyone else how much... Du has fought for the resistance. Just ask, in Shanghai, who can spare no effort to donate money and money for the war of resistance like me."

Du Yuesheng stood up suddenly, and roared loudly.

"Boss Du calm down, don't get angry, it's only an hour, why get angry."

Liang Xiao thought to himself that Du Yuesheng was pissed off, he had never seen Du Yuesheng so annoyed.

"The person surnamed Liang is different from each other and does not conspire with each other. From now on, you walk your Yangguan way, and I cross my single-plank bridge. We have nothing to do with each other."

Du Yuesheng said angrily.

Liang Xiao laughed and said: "Boss Du is also a famous and respected figure in Shanghai, just because of a few verbal disputes, you have to break up with Mr. Liang, and you won't be afraid of making jokes if it spreads."

"What's the joke? It's your inhumanity that comes first. Du has a clear conscience."

Du Yuesheng said angrily.

"Liang is also for the overall situation of the War of Resistance. Boss Du is more sympathetic, don't hurt your friendship because of a little thing."

Liang Xiao comforted with kind words.

"Anyway...you have to give me an explanation today. My [-] youth gang members can't just become cannon fodder for the national army."

Du Yuesheng made up his mind to seek justice from Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao said with a sneer: "Boss Du has found the wrong person. You should go to the Chairman for this matter. He gave the order. What can I do?"

"How could you be the commander-in-chief of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army?"

Du Yuesheng asked angrily.

Liang Xiao understood, it turned out that Du Yuesheng was getting emotional about this matter, but, thinking about it, it was like he had worked so hard to plant a peach tree, watered and fertilized, sprayed medicine to repel insects, cared for it carefully, until the peaches were ripe Seasons, but let others pick the peaches, even if he is open-minded, he can't let go.

This kind of thing is the same for everyone, if it is put on Liang Xiao, he will not have a good face.

"Boss Du, I didn't think carefully about this matter. When the Loyalty and National Salvation Army marched to the battlefield, Liang was commanding the Shanghai War. It was my fault for not reporting the inside story to the Military and Political Council in time. I will send a telegram to the committee tomorrow. , let him propose Boss Du as the commander-in-chief of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army."

Liang Xiao gave him the title of commander-in-chief, but he also cannot command the Loyalty and National Salvation Army.

When Du Yuesheng heard this, his complexion improved a lot. He also knew that the war of resistance was the overall situation, but the actions of the Nationalist government chilled him.

"Du is not good at military affairs and has no strategy for leading troops. The commander-in-chief is unnecessary. However, the national government should not be stingy with the title of deputy commander-in-chief."

Of course Du Yuesheng knew that he was not expected to lead troops into war, besides, his family had a great career, and he had many young gangsters to take care of him, so Liang Xiao was more suitable for the post of commander in chief.
