1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 573
Zhang Qianzhi was about to continue asking, but Huang Zixing had already changed the subject: "Qianzhi, if you really want to serve the country, you will have a chance to realize it in the near future. The local chamber of commerce will hold a birthday banquet for Zhang Xin, the leader of Haihan, next month. Invite local literati to attend the event, and the local Haihan leaders will probably also attend this event. You can mix in with other strong men and wait for the opportunity. If you can succeed with one blow at that time, the recovery of Danzhou is just around the corner! Northern Qiongzhou will also Follow the trend and rise up at the same time."

Zhang Qianzhi wondered: "Students have heard that the personal situation of the Haihan people is kept secret, and few outsiders know about it. How can the local chamber of commerce know when the Haihan leader was born? Could it be that there are people around the Haihan leader..."

Huang Zixing shook his head and said, "That's not true. Zhang Xin first came to Danzhou two years ago, and invited the local gentry to a banquet in the name of holding a birthday. Although not many people betrayed his face at that time, but at this time he was Those who are interested will remember it. Now that Haihan is powerful, those who follow the power will naturally not let go of this opportunity to sycophant."

Zhang Qianzhi nodded, and then said: "The student is a scholar and has no experience in martial arts. I am afraid that I am not capable enough to be an assassin at the banquet. The student is not afraid of losing his life, but his hands are not bound." The power of the chicken, I'm afraid it will ruin the big thing because of it!"

"As for the assassination, someone else will do it, so you don't have to worry." Huang Zixing said: "When the time comes, bring some fire starters in and hide them in a flammable place. When the time comes, set fire to the meeting place to create chaos. When the scene breaks down , Someone will take action to end the lives of those Haihan people. Don't worry, you will not be the only one who set the fire at that time, so don't worry that the fire will not burn!"

"Since the master has made a comprehensive plan, the students will be arranged by the master!" Zhang Qianzhi had a general understanding of Huang Zixing's plan after hearing this.

In terms of motivation, Huang Zixing is a vested interest whose personal interests have been seriously damaged after Hai Han took power. He really has a family-destroying hatred towards Hai Han, and there is a good reason for making such a radical and crazy plan.And he obviously absorbed the lessons of his predecessors, he did not openly jump to the front of the stage to oppose Haihan's local rule in the form of armed confrontation, but silently linked up with some people who shared the same hatred against Haihan, preparing to "behead" The way to disrupt Haihan's rule in Qiongbei.

As long as these people can successfully assassinate, Yan Mingjun, the new magistrate of Danzhou, will probably immediately take over the local government affairs and try to expel the Haihan people.On the other hand, the already disintegrated Daming Guard Army may be reorganized in a short period of time. Although its combat effectiveness is not enough to worry about, it is indeed possible for the Haihan militia with scattered troops stationed in various places in Qiongbei. trouble.Moreover, Huang Zixing said that there would be special personnel to command these reorganized armed men, so they couldn't be simply viewed as stragglers.

After Zhang Qianzhi wanted to understand the ins and outs of it, his first feeling was that he had caught a big fish this time.He didn't know the situation of the other case that made Wang Baisuo eager to transfer people away, but Huang Zixing's case was dug deeper, and its seriousness would definitely become a major case supervised by the Executive Committee.Based on the inside information that Huang Zixing revealed just now, Zhang Qianzhi could already think of the scene where the head would fall to the ground in the future - the guy who was involved in such a major "rebellion" case might not be punished as simple as hard labor.

Huang Zixing was not in a hurry to explain the details of his actions to him, but after asking him about his attitude, he asked him to go back to rest first.Although Zhang Qianzhi wanted to inquire about it, he was afraid of being too active and arousing the other party's suspicion, so he decided to try to pass the news back first.

In the afternoon of the second day, Zhang Qianzhi became "ill". Although it was not serious, anyone who was not blind could see his weakness.Zhang Qianzhi reported sick leave to the academy, planning to go to the city to see a doctor.Huang Zixing was very concerned about Zhang Qianzhi's sudden illness, so he went to visit him at his residence and asked him if he needed to call a doctor for treatment.How dare Zhang Qianzhi agree, insisting on going to the city to see a doctor by himself, Huang Zixing finally asked someone to go nearby and hired a bullock to drive him.

Zhang Qianzhi's visit to a doctor was of course just an excuse, and the purpose was to try to communicate with Wang Baisuo to pass on information.In the courtyard of the Ministry of Security in Danzhou City, the back door is the alley where the yamen servant He Qi went to report the letter, and the front door is the Huimin Pharmacy on another street, which is the destination of Zhang Qianzhi's trip.

This Huimin Pharmacy Bureau was originally an official institution, but it has become a permanent non-governmental grassroots medical institution since 1370, and it is found in almost every city.In addition to being in charge of the local pharmaceutical industry, it also has the function of practicing medicine and treating diseases. It has special doctors to attend consultations, and it can be regarded as a government-run hospital in this era.After Haihan entered Danzhou, all government agencies were taken over by Haihan, including Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau.However, the Ministry of Security, who was looking for an office location at the time, also took a fancy to the courtyard of Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau, so the front courtyard continued to function as a medical center, while the backyard became the office of the intelligence agency.

Of course, with the Ministry of Security at the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau, it is logical that it becomes one of the meeting points for intelligence personnel when necessary.After Zhang Qianzhi entered the pharmacy, he gestured to the counter, and soon someone led him to the back hall for "seeing a doctor".

As soon as Zhang Qianzhi sat down in the room, Wang Baisuo pushed the door open and came in: "What's the matter? We usually meet outside, why did you come here directly today?"

"Of course it's an urgent matter!" Zhang Qianzhi didn't dare to waste time, and hurriedly recounted the content of yesterday's meeting with Huang Zixing.

"This Huang Zixing's plan is not small!" Wang Baisuo also gasped after hearing this.He originally thought that Huang Zixing was just a talker at best, and apart from spitting in private, he wouldn't have any real means of resistance.However, judging from what Huang Zixing told Zhang Qianzhi, this guy is not idle at all in private, and he doesn't know how long he has been silently connecting with Qiongbei, and how many people he has recruited.

"Since they are going to make a move in the near future, they must have made almost all preparations. From what you said, there are probably more than three or five people who are preparing to make trouble." Wang Baisuo quickly regained his composure from the state of shock, and started Assess the seriousness of the matter.

Zhang Qianzhi nodded and said: "Since they plan to raise incidents in many places in Qiongbei at the same time, they must have a group of people, and they need to strengthen their guard earlier. There is also the matter that the local chamber of commerce plans to hold a birthday banquet for Director Zhang. Director Wang Can you hear the wind?"

Wang Baisuo nodded and said: "There have been rumors about this matter for a long time. The bosses of these chambers of commerce want to flatter them. Director Zhang can't deliberately refuse them, so as not to chill people's hearts. Although there will be certain security measures at that time, if Without precautions, it is indeed difficult to guarantee that something will happen.”

"It's very easy to avoid accidents. Let's do it immediately and arrest Huang Zixing and his party members in the academy!" Zhang Qianzhi came up with an idea: "Prevent trouble before it happens, this is what Mr. He often says."

"We can't arrest people just yet." Wang Baisuo shook his head and rejected Zhang Qianzhi's proposal.

"Why?" Zhang Qianzhi asked in amazement.

"Because of the unknown military officer Huang Zixing mentioned." Wang Baisuo explained: "Huang Zixing said that he has the power to command the Ming army in Qiongbei, so it is conceivable that his rank will not be low. And all the registered soldiers in Qiongbei area Military officer of the Ming Dynasty, no matter whether he is alive or dead, we have a detailed account of his whereabouts. We can be sure that the person Huang Zixing mentioned is not in the list of military officers we have. It just so happens that the major case we are investigating now is to arrest a A senior military officer of the Ming Dynasty who lurks in the Qiongbei region in the mainland! I have reason to believe that this person is very likely to be the same person as Huang Zixing said!"

"Jin Yiwei?" Zhang Qianzhi also met many people in Guangzhou. Although he didn't know the details of the big case that Wang Baisuo was investigating before, he had already interpreted important information from Wang Baisuo's explanation.Who else would be the military officer of the Ming Dynasty who would lurk quietly to the place, except Jin Yiwei, an intelligence agency?
"That's right!" Wang Baisuo nodded and said, "This person is much more important than Huang Zixing. Huang Zixing can arrest him at any time, but if we act recklessly and scare this person away, it will be difficult. If he escapes Danzhou, then all our previous efforts will be in vain, and we have to start from scratch again."

"But now that Danzhou is going to investigate the population situation, will this also scare the snake?" Zhang Qianzhi reminded.

Wang Baisuo thought for a while and said, "You are right, please sit down for a while."

A moment later, Lin Nan and Li Qingyang also came to this room.Lin Nan is already an old man in the Ministry of Security. He naturally knows Zhang Qianzhi, but before coming here, he already knew that Zhang Qianzhi was assigned to work here in Danzhou, so he was not surprised after meeting him.

Although the four people belong to the Ministry of Security, among those present, Lin Nan still has the highest authority.However, Li Qingyang was the one who knew the facts of the case the most, and Wang Baisuo was the one who was the most familiar with the local situation.But Zhang Qianzhi was not ambiguous. He was not only a front-line investigator, but also a popular person next to He Xi, the boss of the security department. Others didn't know this, but Lin Nan knew it.To sit down and discuss the case, Lin Nan must also take care of the emotions of the other three.

Considering Zhang Qianzhi's status as a "patient", the meeting didn't last too long, and it ended in about half a stick of incense.After finishing the work, Zhang Qianzhi left first, and the staff outside had prepared a three-day pack of traditional Chinese medicine for him, so that he could continue to perform the role of the patient after returning to the academy.

After Zhang Qianzhi left, the three hurriedly sent someone to the management committee to invite Zhang Xin over.This matter involves the personal safety of Haihan's chiefs, and several of them who are naturalized citizens dare not make a mistake. If they don't ask for instructions and report, no one will be able to take the responsibility if something goes wrong.

After Zhang Xin listened to their narration, he thought for a moment before asking: "If we use the original method to conduct investigations based on population statistics, how sure are we of catching this Jinyiwei officer?"

"Probably [-]%." Wang Baisuo replied: "If he smelled something bad before he showed his whereabouts and left Danzhou quietly, then it would be difficult for us to notice. Of course, if he was lurking somewhere in the city and captured He could be a little more confident."

"Then if we let them do it, how about we be the oriole again?" Zhang Xin then asked.

The three intelligence personnel exchanged glances with each other, and finally Lin Nan replied: "At least [-]% sure, if there is no major accident, this person will definitely show his whereabouts after Huang Zixing and others do it, and we will find out his true colors at that time. It’s impossible to hide any more.”

Zhang Xin thought for a while before saying: "Even if these guys who want to make trouble can come to assassinate, they are probably weapons like daggers. If we arrange the security measures well, they have no chance of doing anything. I think it is worth taking the risk. Let them out of the hole, and then give them a hot pot."

"Director Zhang, this matter is too risky to be easily involved!" Lin Nan immediately expressed his objection.Failure to catch anyone is at most an ordinary dereliction of duty for them, but if Chief Haihan was injured or even killed because of this, then the crime would be a serious one.

Zhang Xin said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I don't believe that there are only a few thieves who can turn over under Haihan's iron fist of dictatorship! What's more, we have already grasped so many situations, and we can start to make effective decisions half a month in advance. Targeted arrangements. With such favorable conditions, don’t you have the confidence to deal with these people? How about I send a telegram to Hao Wanqing personally to explain the situation to him?”

Lin Nan quickly responded: "That's not so troublesome, I should report to Director Hao. It's just that this matter is too dangerous. If Director Zhang insists on solving it in this way, he must follow our arrangement. "

Zhang Xin nodded and said: "That's for sure. After all, you are professionals. I really want to solve this matter thoroughly, otherwise every night I think that someone has been planning to assassinate me. It will definitely not feel good. !"

Let Zhang Xin act as the bait himself, which is naturally the best way to lure the snake out of the hole, but due to their identities, even if the three of them had this idea, they would never dare to say it directly.Fortunately, Zhang Xin is also considered a courageous person, so he proposed this method first.Although Lin Nan evaded a few words, he finally agreed.

Zhang Xin didn't intend to directly intervene in the operation of the security department, so he got up and left after making a decision.The three of them silently took out the map of Danzhou City and began to plan and arrange it.

Lin Nandao: "We can make one thing clear first. Huang Zixing and the party behind him have realized that the situation in Danzhou makes them unable to wait any longer. The longer it drags on, they will make Danzhou change its flag again. The chances are smaller, so they will definitely not miss this opportunity to do it. As long as there are no major accidents, they will definitely do it at that time!"
