1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 1165 The Truth Comes Out
Chen Yixin's mind is naturally much clearer than Sun Zhen's. He barely spent any time thinking, and he has already focused on the object of suspicion on the "Miss Lin" who took refuge here in the house.His appearance, age, clothing, and time of appearance can basically be matched with Miss Ma who ran away from home in Majiazhuang. The missing person notice may be to ensure her safety and did not mention those valuable belongings, but Chen Yixin believes that this It is only a matter of one sentence to verify such details. You only need to take one or two things belonging to "Miss Lin" to Majiazhuang and ask.If "Miss Lin" and the missing Miss Ma are the same person, then this matter is really ridiculous.

However, whether the little girl came to the mining camp by accident while running away from home, or whether she came here on purpose, Chen Yixin was still unable to make a definite judgment for the time being.If it's the latter, then this girl's mind is too deep, and her realistic acting skills have basically fooled everyone who has come into contact with her here.

Of course, Chen Yixin is more willing to believe that the other party does not know his true identity, and these things that happened are really just coincidences.He really couldn't associate such a pure and lovely girl with a scheming bitch with deep routines.It is not difficult to verify the truth of this matter. Chen Yixin has already thought of several ways to achieve his goal in an instant.

"You guys take a break, and then go back and tell Plato Leader Sun that I will still go to Majiazhuang to meet Ma Dongqiang at the scheduled time tomorrow." Chen Yixin decided to choose a safer way to deal with it, at least to find out whether there is anyone in the middle play tricks.It's okay if it's all a coincidence, but if someone deliberately causes trouble, then he doesn't mind taking some thunderous measures to deal with it.

After dismissing the person sent by Sun Zhen to deliver the letter, Chen Yixin whispered some instructions to his entourage, then returned to the house, sat back in his original position and continued to listen to the propaganda officer reading the newspaper.He glanced sideways at Ma Yuling who was sitting next to him as if unintentionally, only to see her big black and bright eyes staring at him, he managed to force a smile, and quickly turned his eyes away.

In fact, Ma Yuling really wanted to ask Chen Yixin where the places that the propaganda officer read out were and how far they were from Fushan County.To her, the world outside Dengzhou was in chaos, but the territory of Haihan Kingdom seemed very large.From what she heard, Haihan has many neighboring countries including Daming, and the Haihan army stationed in Dengzhou is just one of its many troops stationed outside. It sounds like Haihan There should be quite a few wars launched by foreign countries.

The publicity officer for this matter has finished reading the content of the front page, and began to read the Haihan domestic news section: "... Haikou Mayor Qiu Yuan attended the foundation laying ceremony of the third phase of Haikou Port. It is reported that after the completion of the third phase of the project, the cargo throughput of Haikou Port The capacity will be doubled on the current basis, and it is expected to replace Danzhou Port and become the largest port in the Qiongbei region.”

"...the No. [-] blast furnace in Changhua Iron and Steel Base has been put into operation smoothly. Minister of Industry Bekes visited the site in person to guide and supervise the iron and steel workers to smelt the first furnace of molten iron. It is reported that after the No. [-] blast furnace is put into operation, it is expected to ease domestic steel production capacity to a certain extent grossly inadequate situation."

"...The Ministry of Civil Affairs has released the immigration statistics this year. The number of immigrants introduced and the number of nationals approved for naturalization will both hit record highs. The number of new immigrants from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and North China will increase the most. Steady growth. Ning Qi, a member of the executive committee, told our reporter that in the coming year, we will continue to increase efforts to rescue war refugees from the Liaodong region, and it is expected that tens of thousands of Liaodong refugees will be transported to various parts of the country for resettlement.”

"...Sanya Shipyard has recently launched the first heavy-duty dry bulk sailing ship. It is reported that this cargo ship named 'Yugong class' will first be put on the cargo route between Hainan Island and Heitu Port. Grain-based dry bulk cargo transportation tasks.”

In fact, ordinary soldiers can only listen to the news that happened in Haihan. After all, most of them came from the bottom of society such as farmers, fishermen, and small handicraftsmen before joining the army, and their knowledge and vision are also very limited. I can't fully understand the positive significance of the promotion of these projects to my own country, but the news is written fairly straightforwardly, at least it can make people not aware of the seriousness, and it still sounds very good.

As for Ma Yuling, she was even more at a loss. She originally thought that the lecture would be similar to storytelling. I can understand everything, but I don't understand what it means at all.But she could also tell that this was probably the content of the administration of the Haihan Kingdom, but why did she spend time preaching to the soldiers about these things that sounded irrelevant to the military.She really wanted to ask Chen Yixin beside her, but when she turned her head away, she saw that Chen Yixin was very focused and was taking notes while listening with a pen, so she didn't dare to disturb him immediately.

Chen Yixin has been far away from the power center of Haihan for a long time. The last time he returned to Hainan Island, he only stayed in Sanya for a longer time. He never had the opportunity to witness the construction results in other places.For the development of the country, we can only get a rough understanding of it through official media like Haihan Times.Although he is a general in the army, he also understands that the increase of Haihan's national power is not only reflected in the aspect of foreign wars. The growth of population, the development of industry and agriculture, the improvement of infrastructure projects, and the expansion of overseas trade lines are all the gradual progress of this country. A sign of strength is also a guarantee for Haihan's military strength to continue to improve.

The development of industry and agriculture will allow the army to have better equipment and logistics supplies. Population growth represents a richer source of soldiers, which will also bring about an increase in the strength of the Haihan Army. Pay attention to these seemingly irrelevant news, in fact They are also concerned about their own future development prospects.In contrast, the affairs of the Ma family can only be regarded as trivial. Chen Yixin's attention is currently on digesting the information in the newspaper, and he does not pay attention to the feelings of the audience next to him.

The newspaper presentation lasted about an hour and a half before the audience ended. Originally, the publicity officer wanted to invite Chen Yixin to speak on stage, but Chen Yixin waved his hand to signal him to announce the disbandment.

Seeing that everyone started to get up and go out, Ma Yuling also stood up, and when she was about to say goodbye to Chen Yixin, the other party spoke first: "Miss Lin, sit down first, I have something to say."

Ma Yuling didn't understand what it meant, but she obediently sat back in her original seat.Chen Yixin sat silently, as if he wanted to wait for all the people in the room to leave before speaking.

In the end, Chen Yixin sent several of his bodyguards to wait outside the door, and then said: "The thing is, I have to go out to perform a mission tomorrow, and it may take a day or two before I can come back."

"Ah? Are you going out to fight? Brother Chen must be more careful!" Ma Yuling's tone was obviously worried.

"It's not a war." Chen Yixin stared at Ma Yuling's face, trying to capture the slightest expression changes on her face: "I'm going to meet a girl named Ma!"

Sure enough, Ma Yuling's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she didn't make a sound immediately, and waited quietly for Chen Yixin to continue speaking.

While observing Ma Yuling's expression, Chen Yixin said slowly: "This girl Ma's family plans to form an alliance with us Haihan through marriage, and we are also planning to invest more resources to support some partners locally. , the Ma family was originally one of the candidates. So this matter is of great significance to Haihan and the Ma family. Miss Lin, I heard that you sneaked out because you were dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by your family. I would like to take the liberty to ask you, what do you think of this kind of marriage arranged by the elders of the family?"

Ma Yuling's complexion had turned pale at this time, and she couldn't guess whether the other party had seen through her true identity and deliberately played a game of cat and mouse, or just unintentionally used it to test her opinion.

But she quickly figured out the key point. If it was the former, then what she said would be useless. Even if she knelt down and repented now, it would be too late.If it is the latter, then she should also express her thoughts clearly, otherwise she is not alone in the bad luck, and the whole Ma family will be implicated.

Ma Yuling slowly lowered her head and said: "Presumably the head of the Ma family arranged this marriage for the sake of the family's future, but I don't know if they have asked this girl about her own feelings; if she wants to marry a stranger she has never met, maybe I have to go overseas and live a life of strangers and no relatives, is this girl from the Ma family willing to accept this arrangement?"

After listening to Ma Yuling's words, Chen Yixin was thoughtful and silent for a moment before responding: "It seems that this girl Ma may not be willing to sacrifice her personal happiness for the sake of the family, and it may be a good idea to force her to accept such an arrangement." It's so inhuman."

Ma Yuling said: "If the Haihan people are as reasonable as Brother Chen, then maybe Miss Ma will marry into a wealthy Haihan family in the future, and her life will not be too miserable."

"Hainan wealthy family?" Chen Yixin asked back in surprise, thinking to himself why I didn't know that I had become a member of a wealthy family.

Ma Yuling explained: "The boss with the same surname as you, since he is a general of the Haihan court, must be a wealthy family in Haihan. If not, why would the Ma family want to marry him so actively?"

Chen Yixin relaxed a lot when he heard this, and thought to himself that you don't know the identity of my uncle, so this matter is quite interesting, and then coughed dryly and said: "Yes, my boss is very famous and has a big temper , if someone goes against his will, eating a military stick is a trivial matter. I heard that the Ma family spent a lot of time lobbying him, and finally got him to agree to go to Majiazhuang again and meet this Miss Ma in person. If you see it right, then let’s talk about the rest. But if this Miss Ma is dissatisfied and wants to play tricks in front of Chief Chen, then the Ma family may be in trouble."

Ma Yuling thought that Ms. Ben is still sitting here, and that the person surnamed Chen will definitely miss out on going to Majiazhuang tomorrow. This matter will be a big trouble, so she hurriedly asked: "If I don't see Ms. Ma, then... how about it?" What will happen?"

"Didn't you see?" Chen Yixin wanted to tease the little girl, and immediately said with a downcast face: "If you dare to tease my Haihan general with this kind of marriage, you must be tired of work! You must seize the family and arrest everyone, and punish them all! "

Ma Yuling's tear glands burst immediately, and she burst into tears immediately.Chen Yixin originally just wanted to amuse her, but he didn't expect to scare the little girl into tears with just one sentence, so he quickly changed his tone and persuaded: "Don't cry! I'm just talking casually, this kind of thing won't really happen!"

Ma Yuling sobbed: "Brother Chen doesn't know something... the little girl... is... Miss Ma's family!"

At this time, Chen Yixin was afraid of scaring the other party, and did not dare to admit that he had seen through her identity, so he had to cooperate with acting: "Ah? You are Ma Dongqiang's daughter? Why did you come here? Does your family know? "

While crying, Ma Yuling intermittently told Chen Yixin how she ran away from home three days ago. She didn't intend to come here at first, but later found out that this place was the Haihan Military Camp, so she didn't dare to reveal her true identity.

After hearing this, Chen Yixin felt that the details were basically in line with what the person Sun Zhen sent back said, and it was unlikely that it was a bitter trick specially arranged by the Ma family.In this way, it was really a rare coincidence that Ma Yuling bumped into the mining camp to meet her by mistake.

Chen Yixin couldn't bear to see Ma Yuling crying so much, she couldn't bear it at the moment, and comforted her, "Miss Ma, don't worry, I will persuade your family for you to take back the original arrangement."

When Ma Yuling heard this, she cried even harder: "My family matter came to an end and I regretted it. Wouldn't that be blamed by your adults? When the time comes when your house is ransacked, who will save my family? No, no, no! "

Chen Yixin sighed and said, "I just try to persuade him. Although he is my boss, he is still willing to listen to me. He should not punish your family for this matter."

Ma Yuling said: "Brother Chen, you are a soft-spoken person. If you stand up for the little girl, you may be implicated in the end. This matter must never be done."

Chen Yixin originally wanted to be a good person by himself, and it would be enough to talk the word out to make the little girl feel at ease, but he never thought that the other party was still thinking about him, and was unwilling to accept this kind of "help", which moved him and made him laugh, so he had to Asked back: "Then what are you going to do?"

Ma Yuling gently wiped away the tears on her face, and said with a firm gaze: "The little girl has already made up her mind, but I just need Brother Chen to do me a little favor."

Chen Yixin wondered if you were going to continue running away to other places, and said calmly, "Let's listen first, and I will help if I can."

Ma Yuling said: "Since your lord has not seen the little girl yet, then take this opportunity to rush back to Majiazhuang overnight, and meet the lord tomorrow as scheduled. The only one who knows the identity of the little girl is Brother Chen, please help me." The little girl will temporarily hide it for a few days."

Chen Yixin said in surprise, "You want to go back to Majiazhuang?"

Ma Yuling nodded and said, "Only in this way can we solve this dilemma."
