However, Zhao Tong's inquiries were not without results. [No pop-up novel website] He learned from the members of the Caogang that most of those who have been frequently spreading rumors and exposing posts in Hangzhou recently are members of the "beating society" in Hangzhou and nearby prefectures and counties.
There is no conflict of interest between the "beating society" and Zhao Yingong. Their participation was obviously funded by someone.
Zhao Tong suggested that this hole could be used to conduct in-depth investigation.
"It's a pity that we are not a yamen here. Otherwise, if we arrest some of the leaders here and conduct a rigorous interrogation, we will definitely get the information about the mastermind behind the scenes." Zhao Tong said with regret.
Of course it is possible to kidnap people secretly and interrogate them in private courts, but it is a troubled time right now, and I am afraid that someone is secretly monitoring my every move. If the opponent's member is rashly kidnapped, once it is revealed, it will become an excuse for the opponent.
To say the least, even if the other party doesn't know or doesn't care about the comfort of the members, ordinary members may not be able to get any useful information out of them.
However, starting a club was definitely a breakthrough. Zhao Yiggong thought about it again and again, and suddenly thought of Zhuang Haoren.
Zhuang Haoren is now the leader of the "Oolong Society". Zhao Yingong thought that the relationship between Wulong Club and Phoenix Villa was still confidential. Now, except for Zhuang Haoren himself and a very small number of naturalized citizens at Hangzhou Station, no one knows that this gangster was actually supported by him, Zhao Yingong. Zhao Yingong also used Oolong Club many times, but on the surface it was a paid-employment relationship, not a subordinate one.
"Go and meet him and ask him to try to sneak into the enemy group through his connections and try to find out the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Zhao Yingong's technique is very simple. Since he can't pull it out, he has no choice but to punch it in. As one of the gangs operating in Hangzhou, Wulong Society is neither large nor small in scale. It has its own "territory" and a considerable number of basic personnel. He showed good "combat effectiveness" in several fights in Hangzhou Prefecture.
If the other party wants to take further big actions, it will inevitably attract more people, especially those with a certain degree of organization and combat effectiveness, who are the first choice of the other party. Oolong Club will most likely fall into their choice. Zhuang Haoren's current public identity is the leader of the Oolong Club. The other party will definitely recruit him to join the gang
Zhao Tong shook his head and said: "Chief, this is inappropriate."
"Oh? Why."
"You are asking him to go undercover." Zhao Tong said, "Since ancient times, undercover people are not only in danger, but once the incident is exposed, they will die violently╠╠Not to mention this; even if they can escape safely, in the future He is still regarded as a ruthless and unjust person, which is tantamount to ruining his reputation. The person who is going to be sent as an undercover agent has either grasped the key points that he has to rely on, or has received great kindness. Zhuang Haoren does not take advantage of any of them. You send him He went undercover. He must be arrogant and unwilling to sacrifice his life."
There is another layer that Zhao Tong has not yet said. Zhuang Haoren is not a naturalized citizen. He is just a peripheral member of the Hangzhou station and has not been verified by the Political Security Bureau for reliability. He can be asked to go out and kill and perform some simple tasks. This kind of matter, which involves the life and death of Hangzhou Station, cannot be handled by naturalized citizens.
Zhao Yingong thought twice and asked: "Zhao Tong, do you think the enemy has set eyes on us?"
This issue is of great importance. Although Sun Wang is the general manager and security captain of this villa, Zhao Tong is specifically responsible for internal security work. He thought for a minute before answering: "Chief, it is impossible to say there are none. But within the villa, I can guarantee there is not one."
Zhao Yingong nodded. People who could enter the mansion part of the villa were either naturalized citizens or orphans taken in by Zhao Yingong. Even Cai Shi, who was very useful in front of Zhao Yingong, and several other local slaves. Their details have been clearly checked by the security department of Hangzhou Station. They are still not allowed to enter the inner house. When Zhao Yingong wanted to see them, he always came to the outer study room.
The Security Department of Hangzhou Station has discovered many cases of attempts to plant spies in villas and bookshops: some of them were blatant. Some directly give gifts to handsome boys and beautiful maids or recommend Qingke masters; some do it secretly, trying to get into villas and bookstores through "self-selling", "recruitment" and other means.
"Is Xihua doing well in the refugee camp?" Zhao Yingong suddenly asked.
Xihua is one of the six eldest children over the age of twelve that Zhao Yingong first took in and personally taught and raised. He is fifteen years old this year. Because of his ability and decisiveness, he was specially assigned to do general affairs in the "Orphan Hall" of Cihuitang.
Zhao Tong was startled and replied: "You can do things well. You can also be fair in doing things. That's it╠╠"
"Just what?"
"A bit arrogant. He can't get sand into his eyes, and his temper is a bit violent. He often embarrasses others in person."
"Haha, if you say so, your popularity is not good."
"Yes╠╠" Although Zhao Tong somewhat knew what the leader meant, he didn't know why he suddenly talked about this girl's character. These things have already been listed in the report materials of the ten-member group that he compiled and submitted.
"Does the chief want her to go undercover..."
"I think so too."
Xihua is quite suitable. Although he has a bad temper, he is bold, careful and methodical. What's more important is: Zhao Yingong rescued her from Ren Yazi╠╠Otherwise she would have been sold to a brothel╠╠It is said that she has received a great favor.
"But she works in a refugee camp, how can she go undercover with the enemy? And she is still a girl. Even if the other party believes her, it is impossible for her to walk around to find out information..."
"The thing that our enemy is most concerned about now is probably what I am doing and what I am thinking."
"The chief wants Xihua to be a double agent?!" Zhao Tong received training in the Political Security Bureau training class and learned a lot of professional "Newspeak".
"Yes." Zhao Yingong nodded, "We want to know what the enemy wants to do, and the enemy must also want to know what we are planning to do. If there is a good opportunity, we will never miss it."
"The leader is wise."
"Stop flattering me!" Zhao Yingong said sternly, "Go and make arrangements."
A few days later, it was "visit day". Cihuitang has a "visiting day" every month or so. Let the named benevolent directors of Cihui Hall and local gentry and scholars come to visit Cihui Hall.
Firstly, it was to let the gentry who had donated money see where their money was spent; secondly, it was to make them suspicious. Many "lesson plans" in the late 19th century were caused by people not understanding the charity of the church, and the church asserting its status as a foreigner and unwilling to communicate, so it spread rumors and spread rumors.
This kind of visit attracted a lot of people at the beginning, but recently there have been very few people. The novelty of the gentry has worn off. What's more, it's still midsummer, and the sun is blazing. Therefore, only seven or eight people came this time, and one of them was Wu Zhixiang╠╠who has been trying his best to build a relationship with Zhao Yingong recently.
I said I was visiting Ci Hui Hall, but in fact I was just walking around with my noses blocked in the refugee camp at the foot of the mountain╠╠It is said that there is a strong smell due to the large number of people, and the smell of coal smoke blowing from the river is indispensable. Before they had even seen half of the place, several gentlemen already looked bored. Cai Shi was accustomed to serving others, and was the best at observing people's words. He immediately ordered the bearers to carry the slide pole and carry the gentlemen one by one up to Phoenix Mountain.
The mountain breeze blows, and several people suddenly feel cool all over. It is the midsummer season, and the mountains are densely forested. After years of greening and improvement by Zhao Yingong, the scenery along the way is even more pleasant.
About a mile outside the gate of the villa, there is a forest. One of the camphor trees is more than a hundred years old, and the pavilions are like a canopy. Zhao Yingong has already ordered people to arrange a banquet under the tree. Incense was lit around to repel mosquitoes, and as soon as we sat down, the maids brought iced towels and iced sour plum soup.
"I didn't expect Mr. Wu to enjoy it so much! He actually got himself a heavenly paradise!" Wu Zhixiang took the ice towel, wiped her face happily a few times, and drank a few sips from the thick hanging cup, which was sweet and sour. After drinking the iced sour plum soup, I felt the fluid in my tongue, the wind in my armpits, and my whole body felt cool.
Sitting at the banquet, I just felt the cool breeze blowing. Looking down at the Qiantang River at the foot of the mountain, the scenery was even more magnificent and my mind was wide open.
"I have walked through Phoenix Mountain in the past. I didn't expect that Master Zhao would turn a barren mountain into such a beautiful state. No wonder everyone says that Master Zhao has the most profound knowledge of managing the world and applying it to practical applications." Wen Huai, a member of Fushe, also agreed.
Others also followed suit with compliments, and Zhao Yingong was inevitably polite. Now the caretaker will serve food and wine.
Because it was midsummer, everyone's appetite was weak, so all the dishes served were light. Although there were many dishes, they were not greasy. A lot of fresh fruits were served, many of which were southern fruits kept fresh by ice cubes. Either they have only been heard of but never seen in real form, or they have not been seen in China in this time and space. As soon as it was taken out, everyone's eyes were opened and they praised it.
A maid brought a large white plate, which was filled with fresh lychees with water droplets still hanging on them. Not only the peel was still red, but even the leaves on the petioles were still green, as if they had just been picked. .
"The fresh lychees here from Mr. Zhao are also the best in the south of the Yangtze River." Wen Huai hurriedly peeled one open and threw it in his mouth, while peeling another in his hand. "Even my eldest brother has admired the name for a long time."
Zhang Dai's enjoyment of life was well-known in Jiangnan, but the enjoyment of the industrial era, such as chilled fruits, was something that could not be obtained no matter how much money was spent at that time. No matter how rich or powerful you are, you can’t get fresh lychees except in the lychee producing areas of Guangdong and Sichuan. Even dried lychees are rare. The emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were as high as the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the lychees they could eat were just fresh lychees soaked in honey and then sent to Beijing. The taste was already different from the fresh ones.
Zhao Yingong Although there is no gas-fired cold storage here to make ice, the ice ships coming from Lingao╠╠When the ships departing from Lingao go north to the south of the Yangtze River, a large amount of artificial ice preserved in sawdust is used as ballast in the bottom tanks. Specifically for Hangzhou Station’s own use and sale. Naturally, transporting chilled fruits is no problem either.
