"Right, right, right. Our Vice Captain Cui is truly knowledgeable. Hurry up and do it. Don't be afraid to spend money. Create a good momentum for me."

Li Shaoyi slammed the table, which was considered the final decision. This matter could not only save face, but also had to have tangible benefits.

That evening, eight of the thirteen newspapers in Beiping were preparing to make Li Shaoyi the headline on the front page, and the remaining three newspapers also made Li Shaoyi the headline after Li Shaoyi gave money.

There are only two newspapers controlled by the Japanese, which strongly criticize Li Shaoyi's atrocities and will bring unpredictable developments to the relationship between the two countries.

But unfortunately, the sales of these two newspapers were not high. Apart from some foreign businessmen and overseas institutions, the ordinary people in Beijing did not buy them.

Some reporters had excellent writing skills, describing the victim as extremely miserable, and also adding some incidents of Japan harming Chinese women in other places.

Local governments basically turned a blind eye to such things. Even if there was solid evidence, they could not do anything to the Japanese. After all, the unequal agreement signed at the beginning included a clause on consular jurisdiction. If foreigners committed crimes on our land, local governments had no jurisdiction.

Just when everyone was feeling depressed after reading this part in the newspaper, Li Shaoyi's speech was published in the newspaper.

On that day, Li Shaoyi also held a press conference in the square of Beijing Railway Station. In front of many foreigners, Li Shaoyi said that as long as they were in the railway station, everyone was equal and no foreigner could be superior.

If foreigners bully Chinese people, the railway station police station will punish them severely.

If someone else had said this, everyone would have thought it was just a slogan that would never become a reality. But when Li Shaoyi was speaking, the background was a dozen castrated Japanese soldiers. This situation was seen by thousands of ordinary people and dozens of reporters. Could this be considered a slogan?

If someone had shouted such slogans earlier, the Japanese arrogance in Beijing would have been suppressed long ago.

Before one crisis subsided, another crisis arose. While the Japanese corpses were still not rotting, Li Shaoyi held another exhibition in the square in front of the station to let people see the consequences of bullying us. It is said that tens of thousands of people from all over Beijing went there.

Peking Municipal Government

"Mayor Yuan, look at what this kid has done. Things have just calmed down a bit these past few days, and now he's holding a corpse exhibition. This is simply disrespectful. When will human corpses be exhibited?"

Several deputy mayors of Peiping kept attacking Li Shaoyi in front of the mayor.

As the current mayor of Peiping, Mayor Yuan is of course very clear about the Japanese ambitions. Since he became the mayor last year, Mayor Yuan has been trying to find ways to resist the clutches of the Japanese, thinking of using Peiping's cultural status to attract international attention and prevent Japanese invasion.

But unfortunately, they misjudged the international situation. Although Western countries were unwilling to allow the Japanese to expand in North China, their interests in North China were not that great, so they did not stand up to stop the Japanese.

When he first came to Peiping, Mayor Yuan was still thinking about gathering knowledgeable people from the Peiping Municipal Government, but after nearly two years, he could see through these people's intentions. Some of them directly sided with the Japanese, some were ambiguous, and some were timid. The only one who didn't have anyone was willing to join him in resisting Japan.

The appearance of Li Shaoyi at this moment gave Mayor Yuan a glimmer of hope.

"Everyone..."

As the head of the Peking Municipal Government, when Mayor Yuan spoke, the people around him kept their mouths shut.

Seeing how they jumped up and down just now, Mayor Yuan was really disgusted, as if Li Shaoyi had cut off their ancestral graves. You have to know that he was venting the anger of the people and sharing the worries of the country.

But in the mouths of people like you, he has become an unforgivable sinner.

Of course, Mayor Yuan could not argue with them. In the current Nationalist government, there are far more people speaking for the Japanese than those speaking for our own people.

"I've seen what everyone has said, but you should also pay attention to what's being reported in the newspapers. Li Shaoyi is now being hailed as a national hero. If we immediately dismiss him and hand him over to the Japanese as they say, have you ever thought about what will become of our current government? How will the people of this country view us?"

Mayor Yuan's words were enough to stop all these people.

Although these people wanted to severely punish Li Shaoyi, they also had to save face. If they were called traitors, their entire family would be pelted with eggs when walking on the street, and life would not be easy.

"Then, Mayor, how should we explain this to the Japanese?"

The speaker was Deputy Mayor Wang Min, the die-hard traitor chief of the Japanese.

"Then please ask Vice Mayor Wang to communicate more with the Japanese. He will definitely punish this guy in the future, but it's not advisable to do anything now."

Mayor Yuan finally came up with this solution.

The others are all veterans in the political arena, and of course they know that this is the only way to do it now. If they touch Li Shaoyi at this critical moment, it may intensify the conflict.

Of course, the most important point is that Li Shaoyi is now out of control. The General Police Department has asked Li Shaoyi to report on his work many times, but Li Shaoyi always made excuses for various reasons.

The General Police Department also considered using tough measures, but that guy dared to kill more than a hundred Japanese devils. What's the point of you going there?

Can the combat effectiveness of the General Police Department be more useful than those more than one hundred Japanese soldiers?

"Mayor, this guy has a big appetite. He's still moving around and wants to take down the South District Security Brigade, which has a staff of 500 people."

After everyone left, the mayor's secretary sneaked in to report. In his opinion, people like Li Shaoyi were difficult to negotiate with and difficult to control, and even the Japanese dared to touch him.

"The area around the Railway Military Police has always been a high-incidence area for public security incidents. It would be nice to have someone who can control the Japanese. Please notify the Police Headquarters and ask our people to help him."

The secretary was shocked by the mayor's answer. He originally thought that the mayor would really do as he said just now, letting Li Shaoyi jump around for a while, and then handing this guy over to the Japanese after the storm has passed. Now it seems that this is far from the case.

Mayor Yuan also exposed his anti-Japanese mentality because of Li Shaoyi's incident. You know, in the current situation, it is estimated that it will be impossible to achieve anything in the government by clearly expressing your anti-Japanese stance. But for Li Shaoyi, Mayor Yuan thinks it is worth it...
