Piao Tianzi     Chapter 144 The Storm of the Lion City (Part 1)

Ye Zhao pushed the gold bar back and said with a smile: "Does General Kuroda want me to be summoned by the Supervision Office for coffee?"

The Commercial Crime Investigation Section of the Supervision Office controls illegal business behaviors of Imperial enterprises and employees. Several cases of business executives being charged with illegal crimes have been reported on the newsprint. (《》彩7*

Of course, the current limitations make commercial sexual crimes not so easy to investigate. If Ye Zhao is really an executive of Taiwa Bank, he accepted the gold bar and tried his best to promote loans to the Yama Prefecture Government of Japan. Even if Taiwa Bank suffered losses in the end, the business vision of Ye Zhao, the executive, was questioned at most. Being fired was the most severe punishment, and it is difficult to be found to be improperly transferred to the interests and convicted. After all, the evidence is not so easy to find, unlike later generations. Accounts can be checked and various transaction documents can be retrieved.

However, despite this, the Imperial Supervision Office's supervision model has undoubtedly been at the forefront of the world and has become a template for the judicial departments of various countries to learn.

Kuroda smiled and put away the gold bars. In fact, it was because Mr. Fun was acting in a manner. Why didn’t Kuroda want his country to be so law-based?

A good system can make the evil people obey the public and the power to be free from supervision and checks and balances, and can make the good people slowly degenerate.

Raising the wine glass, Ye Zhao said: "General Kuroda, I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate."

Kuroda nodded slightly, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and said, "No matter what the result is, Mr. Fun will be my VIP guest."

After leaving the private room, Ye Zhao and Kuroda quickly followed a large group of companions. The red corridor lights on both sides made the corridor more charming. When a guest saw the momentum of the group, he hurriedly stood on one side to make way.

Just as he turned a corner, a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the box next to him, almost like a conditioned reflex. Two young men wearing baseball caps immediately pressed the shadow to the ground. When the other friends took out box cannons, the black muzzles pointed at the door of the box, and someone occupied the shooting position in the front and rear corridors.

Kuroda was shocked. The guards he was with him were still stunned. Mr. Wen's bodyguards had already reacted like lightning. He was a soldier. It could be seen that these young men wearing baseball caps had already controlled this area in a flash.

Several people chased out of the box, and suddenly saw the black gun. The people were shocked. Subconsciously raised their hands, and the fat man in the lead cursed, "Bad bastard! Who are you?" He was speaking Japanese, and Ye Zhao could understand that he had learned many foreign languages ​​in recent years. ("《" website 7*

At this time, Ye Zhao also saw that the black shadow pressed to the ground was Chiyoko, but at this moment her face was blue and her eyes were swollen into a crack. When she saw it, she was beaten, and her cheongsam was torn into a cloth strip, revealing snow-white ** and shocking blood marks.

Kuroda took a few steps quickly, reached out and slapped the fat man in the face, cursing: "Ba Geyalu!"

The fat man was Director Lai Chuan of the Edo Police Department. He obviously recognized Kuroda. The fat face was thrust out loud, but he stood attentively and did not dare to dodge, saying "Hayi!"

Kuroda pointed at Chiyoko again and cursed: "Take this dirty prostitute away! Get out of here!" Although he recognized Chiyoko, the Chinese guests were neither interested in her, and he didn't care about this little dancer. What he was angry was that Lai Chuan suddenly appeared and scared Mr. Wen.

Lai Chuan hurriedly said "Hai" and waved his hand. The follower beside him went to catch Chiyoko, trying to drag Chiyoko back to the box with Chiyoko's feet.

Chiyoko's body was like falling from an ice cave. She whimpered and kicked the powerful hands of several men who wanted to grab her, but was soon caught with her feet and dragged them into the box.

Ye Zhao frowned slightly and said, "Kuroda-kun, prostitutes are also humans, and this is the Chinese Concession. Chinese laws should be applied. This gentleman has violated our laws."

Before Ye Zhao finished speaking, several young men in baseball caps had already pushed Lai Chuan and others aside with guns.

Ye Zhao said to Kuroda again: "If the chief of the army of the government is so indifferent to social fairness and justice, it is a pity that Taihe Bank will not lend money to such a regime."

On the other side, Wan Dequan had already shouted that the waiter would go to the police station to call the police.

Kurotian's face was red and white. He wanted to explain something, but he didn't know where to explain it. He glanced at Lai Chuan fiercely, and his vicious eyes made Lai Chuan tremble.

Soon, a Chinese detective led four or five Luzon police officers to come hurriedly. When Wan Dequan handed over Ye Zhao's film, the Chinese detective became more respectful and made a gesture: "Catch these troublemakers for me!"

Several black Luzon policemen immediately took people like wolves and tigers. Director Laichuan shouted: "I am the Director of the Edo Police Department. Although this is a concession, you arrested me, aren't you afraid of causing diplomatic disputes?"

There was a Chinese businessman next to him, probably a friend of Director Lai Chuan. He hurriedly pulled the Chinese inspector to talk to him, and wanted to plead with Ye Zhao, but he was naturally stopped by Wan Dequan, so he went to Wan Dequan to quit. "《》.com.

The clerk of the Imperial Study Room who was following Ye Zhao was a young man, called Kang Youwei. He said to Lai Chuan in a relatively fluent Japanese: "Although you are a Japanese public official, according to the Edo Land Leasing Agreement a year ago, you should abide by Chinese laws in the concession. If you have any violations of the law, you will naturally be heard by the concession court." He also said to the Chinese Inspector: "Captain Li, are you also following the local customs and starting to ignore the laws of the empire?"

The Chinese Inspector was startled and said quickly, "Sir, was joking." He turned around and waved his hand, saying, "Catch someone!"

Seeing Lai Chuan and others being kidnapped by the vicious Luzon Police Officer, Kuroda sighed and turned to Ye Zhao and said, "Mr. Wen, I want to rush back and ask Shanxian Jun to remove Lai Chuan from his public office. I hope this small storm will not affect our cooperation."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, and behind him, Chiyoko's crying sounded. Ye Zhao did not turn around and walked forward. When Chiyoko shouted "Thank you", Ye Zhao paused, waved his hand back, and then left straight.

...

Ye Zhao returned to Shanghai from Edo, and then rode the wind and waves all the way south, passing through Guangzhou, Fantasy, Binhe and other ports, and arrived in Johor Johor Bahru.

Johor Bahru is a Malay city adjacent to Singapore.

Since the United Kingdom signed an agreement with the Netherlands to determine Britain's hegemony over North Malacca, Britain has begun to sign agreements with the small split countries in Malaya to help the Sudan of these countries manage state affairs, and these agencies will soon become the real rulers of these countries. Because the Perak country has rich tin mines, the United Kingdom was the first to sign an agreement with it to help the Sudan manage state affairs.

Among the small countries on the Malay Peninsula, Johor, the southernmost country is a very tenacious country, and has always maintained a relatively strong character. As Chinese fleets enter and exit the Strait of Malacca became common, the Malays in Johor hope to use the influence of the Chinese to resist the invasion of the British.

Johor Bahru is now very close to Singapore. It was built by the Sultan of Johor with the help of the wealthy Chinese businessman Huang Yafu. At that time, Ye Zhao's butterfly wings had not yet affected Nanyang, and the wheels of history were still rolling.

For example, the Hong Kong-owned system of Johor, and the Chinese businessmen on the Malayan Peninsula almost monopolized their trade, which is exactly the same as in history.

Similar to history, in Johor, the capital of Johor, Chinese account for a considerable proportion. In cities like Muar, Chinese are the most populous race, and most local Malays live in urban and rural areas and live a poor life.

Today, Sultan Abu Baka, Johor, is the same as his ancestors, to promote the port system in order to encourage the Chinese in Sin Chew to move north to Johor to cultivate. The port owner has also attracted many Chinese to go south to Johor to grow black kat tea and black pepper. After the Chinese from the south settled in Johor Bahru, they gradually developed Johor Bahru from a small fishing village into a commercial town.

The so-called port owner is a person who has paid tribute to the Sultan of Johor and obtained the port deed and therefore owned the land development rights. For example, the Chinese Cai Dasun obtained the port deed from the Sultan last year and was named the Sultan of the Chinese, responsible for the construction of the town of Muar. Cai Dasun is from Chaozhou. He recruited his fellow villagers to plant crops such as pepper and Ganmi along the lower reaches of the Ma River, which was invaluable to promote the economic development of Muar.

When Ye Zhao climbed onto the land of Malaya, he couldn't help but sigh that it was a barren land, and it was only after the hard work of the Chinese that gradually got rid of the ignorant indigenous state. However, because of the huge wealth accumulated by the Chinese, he turned around and massacred and harmed the Chinese. Poor people are most likely to be influenced by nationalist sentiment, and nationalism is a very terrible force after being used by people with ulterior motives.

However, this is also because China and Malay are in the two major camps that are in opposition. If the empire can continue to have influence in Nanyang, such a tragedy will not happen.

After traveling in Johor Bahru for two days, Ye Zhao returned to Singapore.

Singapore Jiapo became the largest colony more than ten years ago, directly under the colonial office in London. It is also the political and economic center of Britain in Southeast Asia. With the rise of China, East-West trade became more frequent, and Singapore Jiapo also benefited from it and gradually became one of the most prosperous ports in the world. In the East, second only to Shanghai and Guangzhou.

The population of Singapore is nearly one million, of which Chinese immigrants account for more than half, and the rest are local Malay natives, Indians, immigrants from European countries, etc.

Ten years ago, the germination of the ** movement began. Citizens had conducted large-scale demonstrations and marched, demanding that the Governor's Office give citizens autonomy, rather than a government where key departments were controlled by the British. Westerners generally believe that this was the result of secret support from the Eastern Empire.

During the past decade, the Singaporean movement has become increasingly fierce. After the Eastern Empire opened up the party ban and prepared for a general election, the Singaporean Party, which had been secretly active underground, suddenly published an advertisement in the newspaper to recruit party members and called on the Singaporeans to fight against the British authorities and fight for their own autonomy.

Obviously, the changes in the motherland also inspired this political party close to the Eastern Empire to have the courage to face the challenge of the British authorities.

After all, some Chinese were keen to talk about Western democracy under the rule of the Singapore authorities, and the empire was undoubtedly the representative of the *** party, which made the ** party criticized in public opinion. Now the situation has reversed. When the Eastern Empire began to promote elections, various laws, supervision systems, etc. showed strong vitality, which made European scholars talk about it.

**The Party, a party with a distinctly pro-China color, has also gained the upper hand in public opinion.

Western colonies usually go through this stage, such as Brazil in Portugal, Australia in Britain and Australia in a state of autonomy, and Angola under Portugal and Algeria under French rule. Now, there is another Singaporean, which is the lifeline of Britain's control of the Strait of Malacca, and it is one of the most prosperous ports in the East. The main group of the Chinese class is the Chinese, which naturally makes the British nervous system very troubled.

The power of the Eastern Empire prevents the British authorities from using bloody suppression, let alone a considerable number of British people among the citizens who are making trouble. Adventurous immigrants are usually not keen on the traditional concept of state. Otherwise, the United States, Australia and others will not cause a movement of autonomy. These immigrants want freedom and equality. When they feel that they are under the economic control and exploitation of the suzerain state, they usually hope to safeguard their own interests in an autonomous manner. In the Singapore Party, there are also many British figures. The program of the ** Party is to establish an existing democratic republic in the Singapore area.

When Ye Zhao came to Singapore, he naturally had to meet with local *** party members. However, the hardliners in the ** party had long wanted to obtain weapons and use force to fight the ** battle. Ye Zhao did not agree much and defeated others without fighting. If he could use a peaceful way to force the British to recognize the *** party to Singapore, why not do it? If the empire really intervened, the situation would be more complicated.

Although the hope for peace is slim, if the force is used rashly, the empire will even intervene, which will affect the whole body, and will also cause the party members to lose their moral commanding heights.

Ye Zhao lives in the Lion City Hotel, which is the property of the local rich man Shi’s family, who is closer to the empire. The ten-story eaves and pavilions are magnificent, and the tallest building in Southeast Asia is naturally expensive.

At the beginning of this year, the Lion City Hotel was certified as "super luxury five-star" by the "Imperial Hotel Alliance". The "Imperial Hotel Alliance" is an Imperial civil assessment agency. It was established last year to evaluate hotels and hotels in Imperial provincial capital cities. Now its standards have been recognized by the Western industry. The authority of the "Hotel Alliance" has been established since then. Some luxury hotels in North Korea and Vietnam also asked the institution to inspect and evaluate to highlight their differences.

Ye Zhao, Christina, Gulishayer and Haoruwa live in the super luxurious suite on the top floor of the Lion City Hotel, the suites, the kitchen, etc., and the neighbors are naturally full of Blue Wing Guards.

Haoruwa was a boat from Guangzhou after receiving the telegram. Originally, Ye Zhao wanted to bring Fu Cha out, but because of her weakness, she finally left her in the capital.
