    Today's Shanghai is still as prosperous as before on the surface, but the crowds of people are changing like a revolving lantern. During the puppet government period, almost all the powerful figures in Shanghai have disappeared, including Li Shiqun, Zhang Xiaolin, Wu Sibao and others.  His body has long since turned into dust, Yuan Jianfeng has been imprisoned, and even Lin Xiaotang has lost his former fame. He is like a hurried passerby, like many meteors that once appeared in the battle for hegemony in Shanghai, leaving only a few streaks across the sky.  Mark of.  In sharp contrast, the Nationalist Government's campaign to arrest traitors in Shanghai, Nanjing and Peking occupied the front pages of major newspapers every day. The hotly debated topic in the streets was which traitor was arrested today.  .  On the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Dai Li, who had already openly entered Shanghai, sent an invitation to the puppet government leaders Zhou Fohai, Ding Mocun, Mei Siping, and invited them to a banquet to admire the moon. More than a hundred action teams from the military command sent beautifully printed invitations to  In their respective residences, these former big shots were frightened, but under the coercion of the military commander's agents, they had to reluctantly attend. When they entered the military commander's office on Yuyuan Road, they found that it was filled with heavily armed military police, and they had to be arrested.  , that night, no one of more than a hundred senior officials of the puppet government escaped the net. The next night, more than a hundred people were arrested and all were imprisoned in the prison of the original spy headquarters of the puppet government. After that, because the number of people increased, they had to be in Nan  The city built another detention center, which solved the overcrowding problem.  In Peiping, the military commander followed the method in Shanghai and used the name of Li Zongren's Peking Camp Command to send more than 50 traitors in Peiping's special-level, simple-level and recommended independent pseudo-offices with the words "Respectfully prepare for your visit."  They were invited to attend a banquet, and arrests were carried out at the banquet. A large number of traitors were arrested, including Qi Weiyuan, Huang Nanpeng, Du Xijun and others.  The operation to capture the traitors was extremely smooth, but the operation to receive the assets was chaotic. After Japan announced its unconditional surrender, the Ministry of Finance of the National Government was ordered to take over the financial assets in the occupied areas, while other enemy and puppet industries were taken over, including real estate, factories, warehouses,  Vehicles, ships, etc., there was no unified department in charge at the beginning. Various agencies and departments of the National Government, including the military, couldn't wait to establish offices and receiving agencies in Shanghai.  In particular, large amounts of cash, collectibles, houses and other assets are the main targets of these people. There have even been fires and fights over the property. Some gang members also took the opportunity to join in, under various banners.  This has also caused a sharp deterioration in the security situation in Shanghai.  It wasn¡¯t until October, when Song Ziwen, the then Executive President of the National Government, came to Shanghai for an inspection and decided to set up an Executive Yuan office in Shanghai to be unified responsible for receiving enemy and puppet assets that the situation changed.  Immediately afterwards, in order to restore Shanghai's financial order as soon as possible, the Nationalist Government announced that it would announce the candidate for the new mayor of Shanghai as soon as possible. After receiving the news, Dai Li immediately found Lin Xiaotang as soon as possible. Before that, because Zhuang Chongxian  Because of , a series of Lin Xiaotang's properties in Shanghai were sealed. Only a small number of them were retained because of their close relationship with Du Yuesheng and Wan Molin, including Hero Nightclub and Hot Spring Hotel.  Because he got the news that the mayor of Shanghai was about to be announced, Du Yuesheng hurriedly set off from Hong Kong and rushed back to Shanghai. Because he supported the National Government during the Anti-Japanese War, Du Yuesheng thought that he had made great contributions to his hard work. After so many years of working in gangs and business circles, Du Yuesheng also eagerly hoped to  To make a qualitative leap in status, his idea is to actively participate in the election for mayor of Shanghai, and at the worst, get the position of deputy mayor.  So he found his close friend Dai Li, hoping to use him to fight for the mayor of Shanghai. Dai Li thought about it again and again, and felt that the problem was not big, so he started to actively operate. This time he came to Lin Xiaotang because he wanted Lin Xiaotang to use Wang Xiaotang, who had a close relationship with him.  Sheng and others come to help Du Yuesheng achieve his goal. Of course, this is also good for Lin Xiaotang himself. Once Du Yuesheng is elected, Lin Xiaotang's industry can be lifted. At the same time, Du Yuesheng can also use his influence to intercede for Lin Xiaotang, at least he no longer has to hide.  Tibetan.  But at this time, Lin Xiaotang had already received a warning from Chiang Ching-kuo through Wang Sheng, asking him not to get involved in this muddy water. Lin Xiaotang took it upon himself to conspire with Xiao Shanling to station troops in Japan. Although it was a matter of  It was a good thing that benefited the country and the people, but it also made Jiang Jingguo feel more pressure. Lin Xiaotang, who was clearly branded as a "Prince's family", did not report such a big thing before doing it. This made Jiang Jingguo feel grudge. He also knew  The reason why Lin Xiaotang made his fortune in Shanghai was that he received great help from Du Yuesheng and Wan Molin. However, this was the time when Chiang Ching-kuo and his team were about to show their talents, especially when his good friend Xuan Tiewu was appointed.  Shanghai police chief and garrison commander, while Du Yuesheng and others control Shanghai's economic lifeline and have become Chiang Ching-kuo's role in stabilizing Shanghai's economic and financial order.Therefore, he immediately issued a warning to Lin Xiaotang through Wang Sheng and sternly ordered him not to interfere in this matter.  Even without Chiang Ching-kuo's order, Lin Xiaotang had no intention of getting involved in this matter. He was very aware of the current situation. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Shanghai Concession ceased to exist. The National Government controlled the entire Shanghai, and Du Yuesheng and other gangs  The characters have lost the soil on which they live. It is conceivable that their lives will become increasingly difficult in the future. However, at this time, Du Yuesheng forgot the "chamber pot" theory he once said and rashly joined the group seeking political status.  In action, this is probably something that those in power do not want to see.  Lin Xiaotang concluded that the top leaders of the National Government would not let a gangster be the mayor of Shanghai under any circumstances.  But Dai Li seemed to be avoiding these matters deliberately. Lin Xiaotang did not want to explore the reasons. Du Yuesheng and Wan Molin were kind to Lin Xiaotang. Lin Xiaotang could not tell these things to Du Yuesheng, but he could be honest with Wan Molin.  Let¡¯s talk about it.  But Lin Xiaotang did not find an opportunity to have a deep talk with Wan Molin. The reason was that Wan Molin was arrested. The reason for arrest was that Wan Molin hoarded rice and manipulated rice prices.  This surprised Lin Xiaotang. During the Anti-Japanese War, the three tycoons in Shanghai either ran away, lived in seclusion, or defected to the enemy. On the contrary, Wan Molin, who had previously been invisible, showed his prowess and stayed alone in Shanghai to support the industries of Du Yuesheng and Huang Huangrong.  , dealing with the enemy, this is known to everyone. Who knew that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Wan Molin was thrown into the prison of the National Government, which surprised many people.  Lin Xiaotang did not act rashly. He felt keenly that Wan Molin's arrest seemed to indicate some problem. Thinking of Dai Li's hidden worries, Lin Xiaotang vaguely sensed that this seemed to be a campaign aimed at weakening military unity.  layout.  First there were rumors that the military commander was to be abolished, then there were the transfers of Zheng Jiemin and Tang Zong, then Xuan Tiewu came to Shanghai, and now Wan Molin was inexplicably arrested and imprisoned. All of this seemed to have been carefully arranged.  A good layout, and the ultimate goal of the operation is Dai Li and his military command bureau.  As we all know, Shanghai is the financial and economic center of the country. Whoever controls Shanghai can control the economic lifeline of the country, which is equivalent to gaining endless financial resources. In the past, the best areas of Shanghai were the concessions, but now, the National Government  He successfully entered Shanghai and completely controlled the area of ??the previous concession. This also attracted the covetousness of various powerful parties in Shanghai. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek would no longer allow the leased area to maintain its previous independent status. He wanted to completely control Shanghai.  It also means that Du Yuesheng and others will no longer have the previous privileges.  But Du Yuesheng is unwilling to admit this. In the previous concession, he was the underground emperor, and now, he wants to legitimately become the supreme ruler of Shanghai. This is an ideal that has been hidden in his heart for many years.  At this time, Du Yuesheng's train was on its way to Shanghai. The train had just passed Suzhou Station and was only a short distance away from Shanghai.  Du Yuesheng and his confidant Yang Guanbei were chatting in the carriage. Du Yuesheng was determined to win the mayor of Shanghai this time. Because of his popularity in Shanghai and his contribution in the Anti-Japanese War, Du Yuesheng felt that this position was not for him.  Especially, Dai Li promised to give full support, which increased Du Yuesheng's confidence.  "Looking at the current outstanding figures in Shanghai, only Boss Huang and Lin Xiaotang can compare with Mr. Du. But Boss Huang has been living in seclusion for many years and has long been out of the world. Originally, Lin Xiaotang was the most promising candidate to win the mayor of Shanghai. However, he  Such a commotion in Japan has angered the Chairman, and I am afraid that the Holy Family will no longer exist, so Mr. Du is sure of it this time." Yang Guanbei explained the current situation slowly.  "Cutting the bean curd with a knife and showing both sides" is an important principle of Du Yuesheng's life. For the mayor of Shanghai, Du Yuesheng promised countless benefits to the top leaders of the National Government. He firmly believed that these benefits would make each of them crazy.  , I can endure and rush, spend money like water, do things without missing any details, and consider all aspects. This time, everyone will get what they need and everyone will be happy.  But the eldest son Du Weiping's sudden intrusion interrupted the conversation between Du Yuesheng and Yang Guanbei, which made Du Yuesheng very unhappy. "At such an old age, can't you be calmer?" Du Weiping's face was not very good, and he hurriedly handed over  A newspaper came over and said, "Father, it's not good, senior brother Wan was arrested by the Shanghai Police Station." Du Yuesheng raised his eyebrows, "When did it happen." "Last night, they said they were manipulating the price of rice and hoarding it." "One faction.  Nonsense." Du Yuesheng read the new article in the newspaper at a glance, and said, "If it weren't for the depreciation of the legal currency and the extreme shortage of supplies, how could the price of rice have risen like this? Mulin was just worried.With the title of Chairman of the Rice Industry Association, it is simply ridiculous for him to be the scapegoat for such a thing.  "
