1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 1960
Huo Fei is very clear about the details that Xue Zhenghui cares about. One is to ask for the relevant itinerary as soon as possible, and the other is to request exclusive access to information. At the same time, he also knows that the other party will definitely not easily give up the agreement he has reached with him, and what he has to do now is Try to make Xue Zheng understand that the things he is doing now have exceeded the content of the original agreement, and this part of the extra work is worth asking Xue Zheng to increase the price on the original basis.

The main reason why Huo Fei was able to raise the price without fear was because he was convinced that his channel was unique, and it was impossible for anyone else to offer such a high price to Mr. Tian from Sanya.After all, behind those noisy colleagues, there is no other benefactor like Xue Zheng.As for who is currently buying the relevant information in the black market, Huo Fei actually doesn't care anymore. All the bids on the market are far from the price requested by Mr. Tian, ​​so he definitely can't compete with him.

After hearing what Huo Fei said, Xue Zheng really began to hesitate. The reason why he was willing to pay a lot of money to buy information from Huo Fei was of course because he hoped to have accurate information as a reference for planning his next move.But if you can really do more preparation work and increase your chances of success, then spending more money doesn't seem to be an unacceptable thing.Of course, the premise is that this surname Huo didn't deceive himself.

But Xue Zheng was afraid that if Huo Fei was boasting, things would not go smoothly, and after spending a lot of money, he would not be able to provide him with the information he needed, which would affect the implementation of subsequent actions.If he spends so much money to go out and still gets nothing, then he can't explain to his superiors.

At the same time, the people from the security department have noticed the inn where Xue Zheng came out. The order they received was to monitor everyone who contacted Huo Fei, although it is not certain whether the person who boarded Huo Fei's carriage lived in the inn. This inn, but immediately a group of people split up and went to this inn to book a room for follow-up investigation.

Huo Fei's carriage was slowly moving forward on the street, and it seemed that he had no intention of stopping at all, and the detectives in charge of tracking could only forcefully change their formations to avoid revealing their whereabouts.Fortunately, there were no carriages and horses walking on the street at this time, and it was not too difficult to follow the carriages that had been going around in this area.

After the carriage made another two big circles on the street, it finally returned to the place where Xue Zheng got into the car. After the car stopped, Xue Zheng got off and returned to the inn the same way.Huo Fei's carriage left here and returned to its station.The detective in charge of tracking saw Xue Zheng returning to the inn, and immediately raised the monitoring level of this place, directly leaving a group of people to control inside and outside the inn, while the other personnel continued to follow Huo Fei, lest the target play tricks in the dark run away.

However, although Huo Fei has a certain sense of risk, he never imagined that he has been closely watched by the Ministry of Security. In addition, he walked around the market for a long time before, and he didn't seem to find anything abnormal, so he ordered to go back to his own hiding place.

Huo Fei usually lives reclusively and rarely shows up in public. He has set up his hiding place in the depths of a certain warehouse.Only two-thirds of the space in this warehouse is used to store goods, and the other one-third is where Huo Fei usually lives, which is the area Xue Zheng visited when he came to see him last time.But there is also a large warehouse with exactly the same shape bordering it. If you only look at it from the outside, no one would have guessed that there is a well-designed hiding place hidden in this ordinary warehouse.

But no matter how cautious he was, it was not the local police who were targeting him now, but the arrest operation directed by Zhang Qianzhi himself. After he became the investigation object of the Ministry of Security, there was no possibility of stealth.

Back in Danzhou City, Zhang Qianzhi immediately got the document sent by Wang Baisuo's subordinate, which recorded Huo Fei's situation.Although Huo Fei thinks that no one will know his family background after changing his name and surname, in fact, there are still some information about him in the Ministry of Security, but what he did in the past did not involve official taboos. I'm too lazy to use resources to deal with a small underground broker.

Zhang Qianzhi took a quick look at the records. In fact, there is not much about Huo Fei himself, because he has not committed any major crimes in the past few years. Sell ​​certain undisclosed official decisions to merchants who are willing to bid.For the security department, these behaviors are indeed small problems that can be ignored. If it hadn't been for stepping on the red line this time, it is estimated that Huo Fei could continue to happily do his brokerage business.

"Should we arrest people overnight, or wait?" Wang Baisuo waited patiently until Zhang Qianzhi closed the file, and then asked him for advice.

Zhang Qianzhi shook his head and said: "No rush tonight, wait for the report from the field team first. This Huo Fei is limited in strength, so he shouldn't be the mastermind behind the scenes, and he asked for a little more time to raise funds. I guess the money is very expensive." It may not be paid by him himself, and there may be a financial backer behind him who ordered him to do things."

"It may also be the group of people who slipped away in Changhua." Wang Baisuo added.

"We should know the answer soon. If Huo Fei gives me an affirmative answer tomorrow, I think we will be close to solving the case. People who will spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a North Korean itinerary are probably time to expose their identities." " Zhang Qianzhi looked out the window into the darkness, and he could feel his opponent lurking somewhere nearby, and as the case gradually became clear, more and more clues were in his hands. Wait until the time is right to close the net and get people.

Later that day, the field team in charge of monitoring Huo Fei's movements sent back the results of the investigation to the headquarters in the city, and this made Zhang Qianzhi affirm his judgment even more.On the way back, Huo Fei had a secret meeting with an unknown person in a carriage for an hour, and this person settled in an ordinary inn outside the north gate.Since the field service team sent someone into the inn for control in time, when this person returned to the inn, his appearance and figure fell into the eyes of the detectives.

The field team managed to summon the shopkeeper temporarily, and then learned that this person was not alone, but from a group of Ming Dynasty grain merchants living in the store. The number seemed to be very close to that of the Changhua group.However, the time when he checked into the inn was two or three days later than Zhang Qianzhi estimated that those people fled from the sea to Danzhou.As for words and deeds, the innkeeper didn't find anything wrong.

However, according to the detectives who stayed at the inn, they saw that the appearance of this person was somewhat similar to the portrait of Zhang Qianzhi on the arrest warrant made in Changhua, but the light at night was so bad that it was unrealistic, so they were not very sure that it was the same person. .

"Perhaps the two or three days late can just explain why we didn't find the ship's arrival record at Danzhou Port."

Although the situation obtained from the investigation was different from Zhang Qianzhi's earlier judgment, he still seemed confident and gave his own understanding.

"You mean, instead of calling at Danzhou Port, they found another way to go around to Danzhou?" Wang Baisuo also understood what he wanted to express.

"If the group of grain merchants we found is the same group that planned the attack in Changhua, it would make sense, wouldn't it?" Zhang Qianzhi said with a smile, "They need the itinerary of the North Koreans to carry out the next attack. , and Huo Fei happened to be able to provide them with information in this regard. Therefore, after meeting with me today, the first person Huo Fei met was probably the customer who paid him to come forward to handle the affairs. He claimed that the turnover at hand was inconvenient , turned around and spent an hour secretly meeting a grain merchant who has only been in Danzhou for a few days in the carriage, it is impossible to plan to borrow money from this grain merchant!"

For Zhang Qianzhi, this kind of reasoning is a matter of course and logical. Wang Baisuo felt that there were not many loopholes to be picky after listening to it. When catching, there will be fish that slip through the net again.

Huo Fei was quite happy at this time. After some earnest persuasion, he finally convinced Xue Zheng to believe in him, and added money for follow-up actions.Huo Fei directly doubled the [-] donation to "Master Tian" and reported it to Xue Zheng. In order to make the money more worthwhile, Huo Fei also provided Xue Zheng with two locations , as a pre-selection to make suggestions to "Master Tian" to join the tour itinerary.

These two places are wild scenic spots with a quiet environment and few people in Danzhou. At that time, Huo Fei will try to persuade the other party to bring as few guards as possible, so as not to destroy this quiet environment.As for how Xue Zheng was going to make arrangements in advance, that was not something Huo Fei needed to ask.

At the same time, Huo Fei also raised a point. Since this matter has exposed Huo Fei's identity, he will definitely be arrested by the authorities afterwards. After Xue Zheng's request is met, he must leave Danzhou to avoid disaster, so he also asked Xue Zheng An additional settling-in allowance is being added.

After some bargaining between the two parties, Xue Zheng finally agreed to add another 20 yuan on top of the [-] yuan deposit already paid, of which [-] yuan will be used to bribe "Master Tian" to get the information Xue Zheng needs, and the rest of the money It is used as Huo Fei's reward for coming out to handle affairs and settling expenses for running away afterwards.

Of course, Huo Fei's actual expenses can't be so much at all. He only spent more than 6 yuan to open up the joints. Counting the rewards of his subordinates and other temporary expenses, it is no more than 15 yuan at most. About [-] were credited.With this money, he really doesn't need to be an invisible person in Danzhou anymore. He can go to the inland of Daming to buy hundreds of acres of high-quality land, build a large manor with horses running in the yard, and become a rich man with peace of mind in the future squire.

However, the money was not immediately available. Xue Zheng promised to give him [-] the next day to let him deal with "Master Tian", and pay the rest after getting the specific itinerary of the Koreans.So Huo Fei still had to plan carefully, how to persuade Haihan officials to accept his suggestion on the itinerary.In his opinion, although there is [-]% hope for this matter, he still has to be careful in dealing with it. If the success falls short at the last moment, it would be too uneconomical to let the fat that has been caught in the bowl fly away.

It's just that Huo Fei never imagined that all his calculations were in the game set up by others. Even if he wanted to break his head, it was still impossible to break the game that had been set up.

The next day, Huo Fei sent someone to the inn where Xue Zheng was staying early in the morning, and took back the one hundred thousand additional money that Xue Zheng had promised.With the money in hand, Huo Fei's mood has stabilized a lot. Up to now, the other party has spent 10,000+ for this matter. As long as he gets the information, the other party will definitely not be stingy with the last [-].

After finishing Xue Zheng's side, Huo Fei immediately sent someone to contact Guan Anping, asking him to arrange to meet "Master Tian" again as soon as possible.But he never imagined that that "Lord Tian" was guarding Guan Anping at this moment, waiting for him to deliver it to his door.

Guan Anping saw that Huo Fei's people took the initiative to come to contact him to meet again, and he felt that there is a way to heaven if you don't go, there is no way to come in from hell. Since he committed suicide, then no one else should be blamed, so he immediately followed Zhang Qianzhi's instructions , saying that "Master Tian" still has business in the morning, and he can only have time until lunch at noon.The visitor understood it, and said that Mr. Huo would book a place to eat in advance, and he would come back to inform the place later.

After the visitors left, Zhang Qianzhi turned around from behind the screen and said to Guan Anping, "You are doing well. After this matter is over, I will arrange for you to leave Danzhou. From now on, don't stay in Hainan Island, go overseas. Find a place to stay."

Guan Anping quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Zhang Qianzhi, expressing his gratitude to him.To be able to be exempted from hard labor, just dismissed from office is already the most ideal result for him at the moment, and Zhang Qianzhi did not mention confiscating his family property, but only asked him to hand over the money Huo Fei sent earlier. Lots of room to spare.Although Guan Anping regretted that he could not resist Huo Fei's money offensive at the beginning, but the matter has come to this point, it is a blessing to be able to retreat unscathed.Haihan now also has many ruled areas overseas, so it shouldn't be difficult to change places to settle down. He still has a little savings, and he should be able to live well if he encloses a hundred or so acres of land and runs a plantation.

After receiving the reward, Huo Fei booked a private room in a restaurant in the city, waited for the banquet at a table, and then went there early to wait for the arrival of Guan Anping and "Master Tian".

When it was almost noon, "Master Tian" really came, but Guan Anping did not come with him, which made Huo Fei a little surprised.

Zhang Qianzhi took the initiative to explain: "Your Majesty Guan has a lot of things at hand, and he can't leave at noon, but he has made an appointment with Mr. Huo, so I can only come to the appointment by myself. Mr. Huo won't mind, will he?"

"I don't mind, I don't mind! Thank you Lord Tian for your kindness!" Huo Fei thought to himself that as long as the rightful lord comes, it will be fine, and the matter will be finalized after fighting for this meal.
