Chapter 0702 I'm Looking For You

After a few glasses of wine, Hu Guotai's eyes turned red, and a cheerful person he knew suddenly became melancholy and deep.

"Do you still remember Huazi and the others?"

"how?"

"Last year, the Japanese air raided the mountain city. Huazi's family was bombed, and they were all buried in the rubble. None of them came out. I went to take a look. It was so miserable. I didn't dare to look at it again..."

"What about Huazi's funeral?"

"I asked someone to take care of it. The grave is just outside the city. I will take you there someday. There are four members of my family, and there is no one left."

"Just that little widow that Old Yan liked, who still had a charm, was killed by the Japanese when Jinling City was broken..."

"Also, Xiaorui from the Ministry of Finance, when he moved westward, Japanese planes strafed him in the sky, fell into the water, and when a wave came over, he disappeared, and he was never seen again."

These experiences have been held in Hu Guotai's heart for a long time, but he has not been able to find anyone to confide in.

Who listens?

Only people who are most familiar with themselves and have the same experience.

"By the way, what about you, how did you escape from Jinling City?" Hu Guotai asked with red eyes.

"It's a long story, and I'm also lucky. The Japanese have already killed Jinling City. There are no boats in the city to cross the river. We can only watch the Japanese soldiers enter the city. Kill, burn the house when I see it, let alone a young and beautiful woman, I have never seen these beasts in human skin in my life, if one day, I really want to kill these beasts with a knife Cut off the head..."

"I also want to simply quit my job and go to the battlefield to fight the little devil for life and death, but now I have an old man and a young man, hey..."

"The war of resistance does not necessarily have to be on the battlefield. The rear can also contribute and contribute to the war of resistance. Without support from the rear, what will the soldiers in the front do to fight the Japanese invaders?" Luo Yao could understand Hu Guotai's thinking.

"I work in the Ministry of Finance. If you have time, come and find me. If nothing else, it's absolutely fine to drink with you."

"Thank you, Cathay Pacific, if you encounter any problems in the future, please call this number and I will help as much as I can." After lunch, Luo Yao asked for a note in the restaurant, wrote a phone number for him, and gently He patted Hu Guotai on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you, I will definitely call you if I have something to do." Hu Guotai was still a little drunk, but he solemnly folded the note and put it in his wallet.

Luo Yao is also one of the few friends he can talk to after work, and he met again in the mountain city, a foreign country, and he must cherish it.

Hu Guotai drank a lot of alcohol and couldn't walk very steadily. Luo Yao called him a rickshaw and had someone take him home directly.

If you go to the Ministry of Finance like this, you might lose your money.

Although Hu Guotai has not seen this friend for a long time, he is an old man in the Ministry of Finance after all, and he is still well-informed.

There is such a person in the Ministry of Finance. For him, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.

And this time, he also brought himself a piece of bad news, the Kong family deliberately wanted to have a fight with him.

Minister Kong really acted recklessly. For the sake of a little face, there was a fight of spirits. He couldn't do it. If he forced it, he would suffer.

……

"Brother Yao, where are you going?" After walking for a while, he came to his car, and he had dinner with Hu Guotai, without letting Yang Fan drive along.

He was afraid of scaring Hu Guotai.

In this way, the friend can't continue, so it's better to hide it for a while, guess, even if he doesn't tell, he should know soon.

"Nanquan Street, Kong Mansion!"

"What, what are you doing?" Yang Fan almost bit the tip of his tongue.

"What are you making a fuss about, drive."

"Yes." Yang Fan was apprehensive, but he still started the jeep and headed towards Nanquan Street.

……

Kong Mansion·Fan Zhuang.

Minister Kong always had to take a nap after lunch, and then get up to work, otherwise, he would lose energy all afternoon.

The time for this nap is not fixed, between half an hour and an hour, and it may exceed an hour.

The job of the Minister of Finance does not have so much free time. It takes a lot of time just to read documents and materials every day, and there are other tasks.

Minister of Finance is just one of his jobs, and there are other duties as well.

Otherwise, why would he not go to the Ministry of Finance to work openly, but stay at home and set up a secretarial office to serve him alone?

Even the internal and external security are exactly the same as the old man.

"Notice, Luo Yao, deputy director of the Technical Research Office of the Military Commission, begged to see Minister Kong!" Coming to the gate of Kong's mansion, Luo Yao showed his ID and asked to see Minister Kong Xiangzhen.

"Wait." Looking at the door, although Luo Yao was young, he had an extraordinary bearing. The certificate in his hand was issued by the General Office of the Military Commission.

People who can get this kind of certificate, no matter how young they are, have a lot of background.

"Brother Yao, can this man surnamed Kong see you?" Yang Fan leaned against the car door, skillfully took out a pack of cigarettes, and asked Luo Yao.

"I don't know, just try your luck." Luo Yao took it over, took out the lighter, lit it, and handed it to Yang Fan.

After Yang Fan lit it, just as he was about to put it in his pocket, Luo Yao stretched out his hand and snatched it away: "I like it, buy it myself."

"Isn't it just a lighter, as for?"

"This is a birthday present that your sister Hui bought for me. It's sterling silver. Do you understand?" Luo Yao stuffed the lighter into his pocket.

"Really, why haven't I seen you use it?"

"That's what I'm not willing to use..."

……

After waking up from a nap, rinse your mouth with salt water, wash your face with warm water, wipe it off, put on your glasses, and get ready to go to the office.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him. Minister Kong looked back and saw that it was his aide-de-camp walking towards him.

"Minister, I just received a report from the guard at the gate. There is a person outside the gate, who claims to be Luo Yao, the deputy director of the Military Technology Research Office under the General Office of the Military Commission, begging to see him." Qian, stood at attention and bowed to report.

"What, he dared to come here?" Minister Kong was really startled. It was the first time he saw such a bold young man.

"Minister, did you come here to give in and admit your mistake?" the aide-de-camp asked in a low voice.

"Admit your mistake, now you know your mistake, it's too late!" Minister Kong waved his hand, "No, let him go back where he came from."

"Yes." The aide-de-camp nodded in agreement. He already knew that this was the result, but he had to report it if it was reported to the lower levels. If it was investigated in the future, he, the adjutant, would not be able to bear the responsibility.

At the entrance of Kong Mansion.

The aide-de-camp in colonel's uniform came out from the door and came to Luo Yao: "Deputy Director Luo, I'm sorry, the minister has a lot of work this afternoon, I'm afraid I don't have time to see you, please go back."

"Oh, that's it." Luo Yao chuckled, Kong Xiangzhen didn't see him, it was already in his expectation, "Then I know, please go back and tell Minister Kong that on the afternoon of April [-]st, the Committee will The seat may go back to the inaugural meeting of the military technical room, and then I will report some situation to the committee."

The aide-de-camp was stunned for a moment, you report to the committee, what does it have to do with our minister, and what do you want to say to our minister?

"Okay." The aide-de-camp thought for a while and nodded.

"Thank you."

Watching the attendants and adjutants go in, Luo Yao went back to the car.

"Everyone has refused, let's go?"

"Wait a while, maybe Minister Kong will change his mind?" Luo Yao smiled, closed his eyes and ordered.

Yang Fan didn't think so, but he naturally listened to what Luo Yao said, anyway, he had plenty of time.

Less than 10 minutes.

The figure of the aide who went in just now hastily ran out from that door, and when he saw that Luo Yao was still on the jeep diagonally opposite the door, he trotted all the way over.

"Deputy Director Luo, it's a good thing you didn't leave. Minister Kong invites you in." The aide-de-camp came forward with a smile on his face.

"Um, I drank some wine at noon, and the sun shone, and it was warm, so I fell asleep..." Luo Yao opened his eyes and said.

"Please."

"Thank you very much." Luo Yao straightened his clothes a little, and followed the adjutant into the vermilion gate.

Along the way, the Kong Mansion has beautiful scenery and pleasant air, which is indeed extraordinary. No wonder Minister Kong Lai works here and is unwilling to go to the building of the Ministry of Finance.

"Deputy Director Luo, wait a moment!"

This is the first time Luo Yao has seen Kong Xiangzhen in real life, and it is somewhat different from the one in the newspaper. The real person is much fatter than the photo.

His face was dark, probably because he smoked a lot. The old man never smoked or drank alcohol, but he never left his cigarette.

From the two boxes of imported American Camel brand cigarettes on the desk, it can be seen that the "God of Wealth" of the Nationalist government also pays attention to the brand name when smoking, and ordinary domestic cigarettes can't catch his eyes.

The paperweight on the desk, the brush on the pen stand, the letterhead, the inkstone, and the pine smoke ink, and a pleasant fragrance.

It is Anshenxiang.

All these items were extraordinary. Luo Yao had seen the old man's office before, and the things in him were far from the one in front of him.

The God of Wealth is the God of Wealth.

Kong Caishen was wearing a custom-made suit, a blue plaid tie, a pair of gold lace glasses on his fat ears, and a gold ring inlaid with the best jadeite on the ring finger of his left hand, which was priceless.

What Luo Yao wore was much more plain, a blue-gray Chinese tunic suit, round-toed leather shoes, a round blue sky and white sun badge pinned to his chest, and a black Parker pen stuck in his jacket pocket.

Typical military hair.

In addition to being very spiritual, there is nothing special about it.

They stared at each other for at least three seconds.

"I'm Luo Yao, I've met Minister Kong." Luo Yao nodded slightly, and spoke first, neither humble nor overbearing.

"I've heard about you, Deputy Director Luo, are you here to see me, is there anything wrong?" Minister Kong sat on the chair without even standing up.

"I'm here for the funding of the military technical room." Luo Yao said straight to the point.

"Funding issues, just follow the appropriation procedures. You came to me just for this matter?" Minister Kong raised his eyelids slightly, and the meaning of blame in those words was obvious. What qualifications do you have to come to see me?

"I've been to the Ministry of Finance four times, but the funding for the military technical room just won't come. If I don't come to you, who should I go to?" Luo Yao asked rhetorically.

Minister Kong's eyelids twitched. How long has it been since someone talked to him like this?

Chapter 0703 Threats and Compromises

"So, what do you want?" Minister Kong asked without changing his face, after all, he had seen the wind and waves.

"Give me money, and it will be paid on a monthly basis."

"What if I don't give it?"

"You don't have to give it. At that time, I will just lose face and be looked down upon by others because of this, but someone will have to bear public revenge, instigate subordinates to extort bribes, and deduct funds from the military technical room for no reason, and..."

"And what?" Minister Kong asked.

"Secret with the Japanese invaders!"

"Absurd, if the old man is the Minister of Finance of the state government, if he has an affair with the Japanese aggressors, then the military expenses needed by the national army to fight the front line will come from it?" Minister Kong was furious, "Come here, shoot me out of this rebellious person. "

Hearing this order, the aide at the door pushed the door with two guards and rushed in, grabbing Luo Yao at once.

"Minister Kong doesn't want me to finish my sentence?" Luo Yao said calmly as he stood there without moving.

"I don't want to listen to people like you, Xiao He, please get him out!" Minister Kong ordered, pointing at the door.

"Yes, Minister!"

"Minister Kong, Lin Dongchuan colluded with spies to smuggle prohibited materials and drugs to harm the people of the country. Could it be that you are the biggest black hand behind the scenes?" Luo Yao chuckled.

"You, what did you say, can you say it again?" Minister Kong was shocked when he heard the words. When the government broke out the news that he was in collusion with the Japanese invaders, what would be the consequences?

He didn't dare to imagine, for fear that no one would be able to protect himself.

"I'm just a rebellious person, so what I said is naturally unbelievable. I think, I'd better get out of here." Luo Yao dragged two guards and walked out without looking back.

"Stop, Xiao He, stop Deputy Director Luo!" Minister Kong was anxious, if this really made people leave, if the other party really caught any evidence, it would be over.

"Deputy Director Luo, stop for a moment." Adjutant He quickly stepped forward, stretched out his arm and blocked Luo Yao at the door.

"Adjutant He, Minister Kong's official residence can only be entered, not exited?"

"No, no, our minister still has some questions and wants to ask you for advice. Please be calm and wait a while." Adjutant He was also in trouble, and finally found an excuse.

"Deputy Director Luo, I was the one who was quick to speak just now, and my words were a little heavy, please don't take offense." Minister Kong came over and reluctantly asked to stay.

"Minister Kong is serious. You are the elder of the party and country, how dare I take offense at you." Luo Yao replied neither softly nor forcefully.
