1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 566 Monitoring
He Qi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled apologetically and said, "It's a petty person who has forgotten in a hurry." After saying that, he raised his hands.

The militiaman reached out and groped around him quickly, making sure that he was not carrying any dangerous items, and then stopped and said, "Be more conscious next time! Go in!"

He Qi nodded again and again, and followed another militiaman into the inner courtyard.The militiamen took him outside a study room and reported, "He Qi, the yamen servant, brought him here!"

"come in!"

When He Qi entered the room, he subconsciously wanted to kneel on the ground, but the voice stopped him: "He Qi, we don't like kneeling here, let's stand and talk!"

"Yes, yes, the villain remembers." He Qi quickly stood up again, but still bowed his head and lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Director Wang, the villain has something to report."

The man called Director Wang said in a deep voice, "About the new magistrate? Let's talk about it."

He Qi replied: "Yesterday, Huang Zixing, the head of the Zhongming Academy outside the city, took the initiative to visit Mr. Yan. Today, Mr. Yan asked the villain about Huang Zixing's details, and also carefully asked about the situation of Zhongming Academy. As far as the villain knows, this The poor man surnamed Huang is not an honest person. He is one of the few academies in the local area that have been reluctant to cooperate with the heads of Haihan. This guy took the initiative to find the Yamen, and the villain thought there might be something wrong attempt."

He Qi had been a government servant in Danzhou for many years, how could he not know about Huang Zixing, he had previously denied to Yan Mingjun, just to delay time.The Haihan people had already greeted him. If there is any suspicious situation in the state government, they have to come to this office without any signboard to report the situation.Of course, this kind of report is not completely beneficial to him. As long as Haihan confirms that the information he provided is true and effective, he will be given a certain financial reward.For He Qi, this is not only a means of self-protection, but also a secret way of making money.

Director Wang asked, "Then what did you tell Yan Mingjun?"

He Qi said: "The villain only gave a general account of the situation in Zhongming Academy, and the others are just presumptions that he doesn't know, so Mr. Yan gave the villain a day to collect information about Huang Zixing."

"Was anyone else present when these two men were talking?"

"I heard from Lord Yan's servant that Lord Li was there yesterday." He Qi replied cautiously.

"Okay, you go to do what you should do, if you have any new progress, come back and report. What Yan Mingjun wants to know, you can tell him exactly what you know tomorrow." Director Wang quickly sent He Qi left, but he didn't forget to give the other party a sweet treat: "Tomorrow, you go to the Danzhou Branch of Haihan Bank in the south of the city and report your identity at the counter, and you will receive a reward."

"Thank you, Director Wang, for the reward, and the villain will leave!" He Qi withdrew happily.It is much easier to earn this money than in the past. It is no wonder that so many former colleagues have chosen to help the Haihan people.But what he didn't know was that Director Wang, whom he didn't even dare to look at just now, actually walked with him two years ago.

Wang Baisuo was also from Hainan Island. He used to be a police officer in Wanzhou. After Haihan annexed Yazhou and before launching the "Liaoyuan Plan", Wanzhou was one of the main infiltration directions of the Executive Committee.At that time, Wang Baisuo, who was depressed and hopeless, heard that Haihan people hired retired officials with high salaries, so he gritted his teeth and resigned from his original public office to vote for Haihan.

The remuneration Haihan gave was naturally much higher than his original income, and what he did was actually still his old job, still investigating cases and catching criminals.However, after working for more than half a year, he was transferred from the police department and assigned to the Haihan Security Department.And his immediate boss is Hao Wanqing, the second in command of the security department.

After Haihan implemented the "Liaoyuan Project" last year, Wang Baisuo was sent to Danzhou to take command of the intelligence and security agency here, and also got the official position of "office director".Although the actual authority of this "director" is far from that of his superior Hao Wanqing's "director", Wang Baisuo understands how rare it is to get an official position under the hands of Haihan people.What's more, this "Haihan Security Department" is not an ordinary department, but a real privileged department. For ordinary naturalized citizens and Ming personnel, the Security Department can conduct investigations without the approval of the Ministry of Justice, and can also Take some unconventional means to achieve your goals.

In terms of law enforcement authority alone, Wang Baisuo believes that his current position is much larger than when he was a policeman in the past.There are no high-ranking officials within the scope of the Ministry of Security's responsibilities, even if they are state and county parents' officials, they can still check them out.And when those colleagues in the past met him again, they all became humble, and the director shouted, this sense of superiority was not something that he could experience when he was a policeman in the past.

Of course, Wang Baisuo is also very clear that his status is given by the Haihan people. If he wants to keep his current position and continue to climb the Internet, he must do things well.According to his understanding, the nature of Haihan Security Department actually has many similarities with Daming Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and it is also a secret law enforcement agency hidden in the dark.The difference is that this organization is not responsible to any individual, but is loyal to the Haihan Executive Committee, the highest center of power.

Before Wang Baisuo was sent to Danzhou by Hao Wanqing, the order he received was to "maintain the political stability of Danzhou and eliminate all kinds of hidden dangers that might affect Haihan's local rule."This work goal is not difficult to say, but it is not so simple to say simple.

The Haihan militia and the police force have nearly 400 people in Danzhou City. Although the strength is not large, it is enough to suppress any reactionary forces that may appear in the local area.In addition, there are several warships cruising in the Qiongzhou Strait for a long time, and they can also give Danzhou a certain amount of military support when necessary. These armed forces are enough to maintain the law and order of Danzhou without major disturbances.

However, as an intelligence and security department, the branch of the Haihan Security Department in Danzhou does not have so many clerks. Wang Baisuo's subordinates can directly command only a dozen people, and more often they need to communicate with the Ministry of Justice and the military Only coordination is required.For example, the guards guarding the courtyard of the office of the Ministry of Security are personnel provided by the military.

With such a small amount of manpower to control the information of the entire Danzhou, it is indeed quite stretched. Wang Baisuo can only focus on the key points and strengthen the monitoring of some important departments and important people-such as the new local Zhizhou and generals.

The various behaviors and movements of these two people before they set off from Guangzhou had actually been passed on to Wang Baisuo through the channels of the Ministry of Security before they arrived in Danzhou.According to the information we have obtained before, these two people did not show any strong anti-Haihan tendency before that. When they were in Guangzhou, they also accepted the red envelope gifts from the Guangzhou Office and Li Nai respectively, and Li Nai The evaluation of these two people seems to be pretty good, thinking that it is possible to draw them into Haihan's circle.

However, since the two people landed in Danzhou, they seemed to be a little bit out of tune with the local situation. First, Li Jin led people to fight on the pier, and then at the welcome banquet, Yan Mingjun and Zhang Xin seemed to have a little bit of an affair. Quarrel.Although Wang Baisuo himself did not attend the reception banquet the day before yesterday, he knew roughly what happened at the banquet and what everyone said.

Huang Zixing, the person in charge of Zhongming Academy, went to the temporary prefectural government to pay a visit to Yan Mingjun. Even if He Qi didn't come to report, Wang Baisuo had already received the news.Before the two entered the courtyard Haihan arranged for them, the Ministry of Security had already arranged people to conduct long-term surveillance nearby.

Although these two alternate officials had no soldiers or money and were completely polished commanders, the duty of the Ministry of Security was to prevent problems before they happened, and their status as officials of the Ming Dynasty was a great hidden danger.If possible, Wang Baisuo would rather find a way to accuse these two guys and send them all to Annan to dig coal, rather than use limited manpower to conduct aimless long-term surveillance of their mansion.

Wang Baisuo signed the unfinished document in twos and twos, and then called the staff to take the document away, while he left the courtyard alone and went to the management committee's residence—— Regarding the coping measures for this matter, He must first communicate with the local chief administrative officer.

After listening to Wang Baisuo's description, Zhang Xin was also slightly surprised: "So Huang Zixing went to look for Yan Mingjun on the second day of the banquet? This guy is really restless!"

The "restless guy" that Zhang Xin refers to refers to Huang Zixing. He has been working in Danzhou for a long time, and he has dealt with Huang Zixing several times. He knows that this guy has a lot of dissatisfaction with Haihan. .And last year, the Annan militia disguised as pirates used the Huangjiazhuang as a sacrifice in Fucheng. Zhang Xin also received relevant notices about this matter.Although Huang Zixing himself did not participate in his brother's anti-Haihan operation near Fucheng, from his daily attitude, Zhang Xin believed that he was also a potential dangerous element, so after Haihan controlled Qiongbei , Huang Zixing's actions were consciously restricted, and he was forbidden to take any ships to sea.

If it wasn't for Huang Zixing's little reputation in the local cultural circles, arresting him might have a negative impact on Haihan's reputation. Zhang Xin probably wouldn't bother worrying about it long ago, and handed it over to the security department to operate in the dark. .

On the other side of the party, Yan Mingjun, Zhang Xin originally wanted to observe, but Zhang Xin was not satisfied with Yan Mingjun's remarks at the reception banquet, and the local gentry followed his attitude, so naturally no one dared to join him. It's time to visit Yan Mingjun.

Huang Zixing, such a restless guy, rushed to visit the new magistrate, which was indeed somewhat unusual.Zhang Xin would not think that Huang Zixing went to Yan Mingjun to discuss poetry and poetry. He came to Yan Mingjun so quickly, obviously because he wanted to take advantage of the new magistrate's unsteady position and quickly drag him into the anti-Haihan group. camp.

Zhang Xin was not in a hurry to draw conclusions, he was in charge of administration, and he had to listen to the opinions of professionals on such matters: "Wang Baisuo, what do you think about this matter?"

"Report to Director Zhang, I feel that we need to send more people immediately, and strengthen surveillance on Yan Mingjun, Li Jin, and Zhongming Academy to find out what Huang Zixing's intentions are." Wang Baisuo's attitude in front of Zhang Xin was still very upright, and he didn't even sit down. Sit down and talk all the time standing up.

"Then what support do you want from me?" Zhang Xinyan asked succinctly.Although he is the chief administrator of the Danzhou area, Wang Baisuo belongs to the Haihan Security Department, which is a special department under the supervision of the Executive Committee. Zhang Xin has no right to interfere, and Wang Baisuo has no need to report to him. .Now that Wang Baisuo took the initiative to come to communicate with him, it was obvious that he wanted something from himself.

Wang Baisuo replied: "Yan Mingjun and Li Jin can easily talk about it. The Ministry of Security can arrange surveillance by itself, but the situation of personnel entering and leaving Zhongming Academy is more complicated. It is estimated that the manpower of the Ministry of Security alone is not enough. I ask Director Zhang to send at least [-] people. A capable police officer, under the temporary command of the humble staff."

Zhang Xin thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will write a written material later, you can take it to the police force, and coordinate with them on manpower issues."

Zhang Xin raised his hand to stop Wang Baisuo who was about to thank him, and continued: "But there is one thing you must do. Before you arrest anyone or take any major actions, you must communicate with me first. Without my approval, you can’t take any action on your own.”

Wang Baisuo hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Follow Director Zhang's order."

At this time, He Qi's procrastination for the whole day played a role. After several departments coordinated, a team of plainclothes police officers specially transferred from Baimajing Wharf in Danzhou Bay to Danzhou reported to Wang Baisuo that afternoon.The reason why he specially transferred people from twenty miles outside Danzhou City was also Wang Baisuo's decision after communicating with the police force. The main reason was to prevent the police officers stationed in the city from being recognized by the surveillance targets because of their familiar faces.

When He Qi went to report Huang Zixing's situation to Yan Mingjun the next day, Wang Baisuo had already deployed surveillance personnel at key nodes inside and outside the city.In the vicinity of Zhongming Academy alone, seven or eight people were sent to pretend to be woodcutters, herbal pickers, passing merchants, wandering monks and so on.

"According to what you said, the head of Zhongming Academy, Huang Shan, has always been at odds with Haihan?" Yan Mingjun asked after hearing He Qi's description.

He Qi nodded and said: "After I went to inquire yesterday, I found out that the Huangshan Chang's family is fighting a land lawsuit with the Haihan people in Fucheng. It just seems that the evidence is against the Huang family. I'm afraid they will lose this lawsuit."

He Qi's description was in line with Huang Zixing's last self-report. After Yan Mingjun had an idea, he said to He Qi: "You go to Zhongming Academy and say that the official will visit tomorrow."
