Chapter 7 The Cotton Yarn Case

In the office of the chairman of Dahua Trading Company, Miao Qinghou and accountants are handing over the procedures for their third brother Mi Pu to Shen Wenxiao.

There are sixteen shops in Sandi Rice Shop, including inventory, seven-month store rent, furniture, floor scales, platform scales, rod scales, grain buckets and other tools and utensils. The price of Shen Wenxiao Dui is close to 200,000 yuan.

After the two families paid for the Qing Dynasty, Shen Wenxiao was about to leave, but was stopped by Miao Qinghou.

"Shopkeeper Chen, please stay."

"Is there anything wrong with Chairman Miao?"

"Third brother, come out to meet Manager Chen."

Third brother? That is the shopkeeper of the third brother Mi Shop. Shen Wenxiao thought to himself, isn’t this person almost dead?

Shen Wenxiao was surprised to find that Guan Shijie walked out of the suite behind the chairman's office.

"Nephew, why are you here?"

"Boss Shen, I've been missing for many days."

"Third brother, this is the central bank's promissory note of 196,000 yuan. You have collected it." Miao Qinghou said with a smile.

Guan Shijie took the bank note and put it in his arms and said, "Thank you, Boss Shen, I wish you a prosperous business and a prosperous source of wealth."

Shen Wenxiao looked at Guan Shijie in amazement. It took him a long time to figure it out that the shopkeeper behind his third brother Mi Pu was Guan Shijie. Could it be that the Miao family of Dahua Trading Company has a relative relationship with the Guan family? It is impossible. The Chen Guan family is a family friend. I have never heard of the Guan family. There is such a prominent relative.

"Thank you for your hard work, second brother." Guan Shijie said to Miao Qinghou.

Seeing Shen Wenxiao's confusing look, Miao Qinghou smiled and said, "The third brother Guan Shijie, the shopkeeper of Mishop, is my sworn brother."

So that's it. Shen Wenxiao then understood the relationship between them. Otherwise, where would Guan Shijie get the capital to open a rice shop? But the business of the third brother rice shop is booming, like the rising sun, why did he get paid for it? Is there any trap?

Shen Wenxiao thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on. He had a vague premonition in his heart. But then he thought that with the third brother Mi Pu, he could make money with money and profit in less than a year. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

After Shen Wenxiao left, Miao Qinghou asked again: "Why don't you say that you won't do it? If you continue to do it, it will take less than a year for the entire rice shop in Peking City to follow your lead."

"Second brother, the situation is unstable now, and the Japanese are ready to move. Their ambitions have not only occupied the three northeastern provinces." Guan Shijie said very obscurely: "I want to take my parents and sister to the south. I think you should make plans earlier."

"Are you afraid that the Japanese will call you? No, right? Third brother, you are probably worried about nothing." Miao Qinghou shook his head and said.

Guan Shijie can't say that he traveled to the Republic of China and knew almost everything about this era, right? He has already said that he is not convenient to say more. After all, the foundation of the Miao family is in Peiping, and even if he wants to evacuate first, it is not something that can be done in one or two months.

The same is true for Lu Yunfei. Guan Shijie hinted twice that he asked him to leave Peiping as soon as possible, but he also didn't have any oil and salt to listen to it.

Guan Shijie's next plan is to take his family out of Peking first, go directly to Chongqing, Sichuan, find a safe countryside to settle his family, then find the Communist Party himself, and then join the revolution and do a grand and vigorous cause.

As the saying goes, eight out of ten things are unsatisfactory in life.

Just as Guan Shijie was planning to sell his home and take his family to leave Peking with him, an unexpected thing happened. It was this incident that changed his destiny in the Republic of China.

At 10:00 a.m. on June 7, 1937, Guan Shijie had just sent away a person who was visiting the house. Three people wearing black cotton robes and felt hats came in outside the door.

"Three gentlemen, are you also here to see the house? Please come inside." Guan Shijie said with a smile.

"Your name is Guan Shijie?"

"That's right, are you doing something?"

Guan Shijie heard the man's tone of speaking incorrectly. He probably didn't come to see the house, so he asked carefully.

"We are from the Inspection Brigade of the Public Security Department of the Military and Political Committee, please come with us."

Guan Shijie heard that the name of this department was familiar, and suddenly remembered that Zhao Jian's father was the director of this department, and he felt something was wrong in his heart. But he did not do anything illegal or illegal. The business competition with Shen Wenxiao and the sixteen rice shops were all reasonable and legal. Even if he wanted to stand out for Shen Wenxiao, he had to find a proper reason, right?

Don’t do bad things, don’t be afraid of ghosts calling.

Guan Shijie explained to his parents, and two sisters, and then got into an old Buick sedan with the three of them and headed towards the east.

Two men in black were clamped Guan Shijie in the middle, one left and one right, and handcuffed him.

The moment Guan Shijie was handcuffed, he touched a person's hand. The man's thoughts popped up in his mind; he couldn't tell that this kid had contact with the rich children of Shanghai.

What does this mean? Guan Shijie thought, could Guan Shijie from the Republic of China have classmates or relatives and friends? He searched the memories of the Republic of China but found no clues.

Guan Shijie was taken to a room in a long-standing, large courtyard. There were two people wearing plain clothes, both in their thirties and sharp-eyed eyes.

"Your name is Guan Shijie?" asked one person.

"yes."

“Teacher from No. 10 Middle School?”

"yes."

"Do you know what to do with you?"

"have no idea."

"Do you know Miao Qinghou?"

"I know, we are classmates from high school. What's wrong?"

"What do I ask, what do you answer? Do you understand?"

"I understand."

"You and Miao Qinghou have traded Shanghai cotton yarn stocks together?"

Guan Shijie felt a little sad when he heard this. He suddenly remembered that after the stock market crash caused by Shanghai cotton yarn, Chiang Kai-shek sent the Fuxing Society Special Service, the predecessor of the Central Administration Bureau under Dai Li, to investigate the matter. Later, he arrested Xu Maochang and others for investigation. Finally, he found that the person behind the scenes was Miss Song San and Du Yuesheng, and the matter was left unresolved.

This is the critical moment when Dai Li was ordered to investigate the stock market crash. A wise man will make a mistake. Why did he forget this paragraph?

"Yes. I have traded stocks together."

"Xu Maochang hinted to your relatives and asked him to buy this stock? What's your relative's surname and name?"

Guan Shijie understood that Fuxing Society must have found that Miao Qinghou had invested in large quantities of Shanghai cotton yarn stocks and traced the root of the source to find the one on his head.

"I don't have relatives to do things at Xu Maochang's house."

"Oh, then how do you know that this stock will rise to 290 yuan?"

"Sir, I guessed it."

"Then tell me, how did you guess randomly? Why can you guess so accurately?"

"My father borrowed a sum of money from Shanghetang Money House. He had to pay it back before January 3. If he couldn't pay off the house at home, the money house would take it away. When I was anxious, I took five thousand yuan and wanted to try my luck at the exchange. I happened to meet my classmate Miao Qinghou, who also wanted to buy stocks.

He asked me which stock I was optimistic about. I remembered the front page of the Ta Kung Pao and the Morning Post and the Report. There was a photo of Xu Maochang's wedding, with Ms. Song San and Du Yuesheng in the photo. I thought that Xu Maochang's father was the king of cotton yarn, and the price of cotton yarn has also risen recently. I told Miao Qinghou that I was optimistic about Shanghai cotton yarn.

I was anxious to make money, so I lied that I had insider information and asked Miao Qinghou to invest, and I took the dry stock. As far as I know, the price of cotton yarn has always been stable. Even if the investment fails, Miao Qinghou will not be able to pay much money." Guan Shijie talked happily.

These words were half true and half false. Miao Qinghou told him what was in the newspaper, and only this reason could be reasonable.

"You go and check the monk Miao Qinghou and Tang. Then call the Shanghai side and ask if Xu Maochang recognizes this person."

"yes!"
