After sending away Liu Mengqian's master who came to discuss the aftermath, Zhao Yingong stretched and walked out of the flower hall. [Read the latest chapter] Several guards immediately followed him closely - these days, the security measures of the entire villa and his personal security have been upgraded to the highest level.
Although there were turbulent undercurrents this time, there was no big wave after all. Except for a few unlucky guys who died at the entrance of the villa, everything was going well. The only thing that was a little troublesome was Zhang Guangtian, the "unruly husband" who repeatedly asked the government to "thoroughly investigate the witchcraft of Phoenix Mountain Villa". Fortunately, the Jin gentry who had been taught that he had long regarded him as a thorn in his side, seized the opportunity to operate secretly this time, and was defeated. His accusation of "gathering a crowd and roaring" prompted the Hangzhou government to issue a document: "Return to his original place of residence and strictly control him." It's like inviting him away.
The only thing that made Liu Mengqian scratch his head was that a lot of gunpowder and weapons were seized from a house in the city. This was really scary, and several people died inexplicably inside. Just when he was worried about how to deal with it, hints came from all sides: he was asked to reduce big things to small things and small things to nothing. He was too happy to do anything, so he immediately concluded the case by calling the bandits a fight and killing each other.
Zhao Yingong returned to the inner study, but did not go in. He said to the guard: "Go to the sticky rod."
The Sticking Department is located in a courtyard deep in the villa. On weekdays, except for Zhao Yingong himself and the staff of the Sticking Department, no one else is allowed to enter without Zhao Yingong's written order. It is a very mysterious place in the villa - in fact, few people know that there is such an institution in the villa.
Opening the courtyard door, you will see the towering walls inside, blocking out the poisonous sun, leaving you with a chilly feeling.
"Take me to see Xihua."
The man at the stick took him to the door of a house and opened the iron lock on the door. Let him go in. The room was very dark, and he couldn't see anything clearly for a moment. After a while, he realized that there were windows in the room, but they were high and narrow.
The house was empty. There is only a table and two chairs. Xihua was sitting on the chair in the middle of the room. Her hair was a little disheveled and her face was gaunt and gloomy, as if she hadn't slept all night.
Zhao Yingong sighed secretly and walked up to her.
"Master." Xihua called out in a low voice.
"You should call me chief." Zhao Yingong sat down on the chair opposite her.
"Master." Xihua still called out in a low voice.
Zhao Yingong looked at the girl in front of him. She has been here for more than twenty-four hours since she returned to the Villa. The people at the stick must have been interrogating her all night. Although there was no corporal punishment, the fatigue of this car battle was enough to make people suffer mental breakdown.
He had already read the conclusion of the interrogation at Sticky Rod. Xihua's return was sincere, and the information she provided played a key role in crushing the conspiracy.
However, she has become unreliable.
Zhao Yingong knew that Xihua's fate was no longer in his hands, but was decided by the General Administration of Political Security in Lingao.
As for what her fate would be when she arrived in Lingao, he couldn't predict. You can't ask either.
"Are you going to send the slaves away?" Xihua asked in a low voice.
Zhao Yingong opened his mouth. For a moment I was speechless. quite a while. Then he said:
"I believe you are innocent. You have made a great contribution to the fact that Hangzhou Station is safe this time." Zhao Yingong said, "However, you can no longer stay in Hangzhou."
"Stop torturing me, I can't stand it anymore..." Xihua closed his eyes. There was a sad expression on his face, "Send me to see my parents."
"You have made great contributions to Hangzhou, don't think too much." Zhao Yingong secretly regretted it in his heart. There is no greater sorrow than death. She is already a disabled person, "Tomorrow morning, I will send you to Lingao's boat. We will take care of you for the rest of your life."
Zhao Yingong came out of the house, and Zhao Tong was already waiting in the courtyard.
"Let her take a bath, change some clothes, and have a good sleep." Zhao Yingong ordered, "Send someone to watch her and don't let her commit suicide!"
"yes."
Zhao Yingong returned to his office, and a report on the Xihua incident had been delivered to his desk.
The processing results column is blank. This is left to the supreme leader of Hangzhou Station to fill in.
He once thought about covering up Xihua's incident. After all, Xihua himself was responsible for counterinsurgency missions, but her defection was no longer a secret in Sticky Stick. After her defection, Sticky Stick launched all its forces to search for Xihua. she.
Even if Qian Shuixie and others didn't know the inside story, the stick office might report it directly to the General Administration of Political Security. The Political Security Bureau has secret members who have vertical leadership over the security departments of various branches. Even if it can hide it from the elders, it cannot hide it from the Political Security Bureau.
He read through the report again. The report was drafted from a sticky point, and it was in accordance with his requirements: write it truthfully, without covering up or exaggerating. Having said that, he always subconsciously wanted to make this report look better and alleviate Xihua's guilt. He revised a few more words himself until he felt that there was nothing that could be changed before he transcribed it clearly.
He picked up the quill, dipped it in ink and wrote: "In the name of the Senate and the people, I approve the transfer to the General Administration of Political Security." Then he signed his name.
The documents were packed in a "top secret" file bag, and were put into a special file box together with Xihua's files and files, and were sent across the ocean to Lingao with her. It is up to the "Lingao Bear" to decide her final fate.
However, his problem is not over yet. Since this matter cannot be hidden from the General Administration of Political Security, it cannot be hidden from the Executive Committee and the Senate. The crisis at the Hangzhou station will inevitably become a sharp topic at the Senate meeting. He shuddered when he thought of the verbal and written criticism the fellow sufferers from Guangzhou, Jeju, Shandong, and Taiwan received in the Senate.
He lit a cigar specially provided by the senator and fell into deep thought.
Among his allies in the Senate, except for Skade, who himself was constantly being bombarded, there were actually no powerful figures. If a hearing were held, the situation he had worked so hard to manage in Hangzhou would fall apart.
When he thought of the businesses he had already started, he felt a strong sense of pride in his heart.
Desperate to stop those gossips sitting in the Senate, Zhao Yingong almost bent the cigar in his hand when he thought of the faces of these people.
Who are possible allies? He was thinking nervously, sifting through the familiar elders one by one.
While he was thinking wildly, Zhao Tong came in.
"What's the matter?" He became alert. Zhao Tong was not a cold-blooded person and would not barge in when he was thinking about something. There must be something important.
"The people who went to search Nanxiawa came back and found nothing!" Zhao Tong reported.
After the incident subsided, Zhao Yingong synthesized all the information and knew that Hao Yuan was a very important person. Especially what he said to Xihua shocked him - this was too modern. Could Hao Yuan be a single person?
If this is the case, it is really terrifying, especially the antagonism he showed with the Senate, which made Zhao Yingong quickly realize that this was a "big fish". Therefore, the sticky pole department was ordered to search for Hao Yuan's whereabouts with all efforts, and to kill or capture Hao Yuan no matter what.
Sticky Stick Department was secretly searching outside the city. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use the power of the yamen to enter Nanxiawa to search, but found nothing everywhere. The cunning enemy seemed to sink to the bottom of the water without leaving any trace. The people in Nanxiawa insisted that Hao Yuan had disappeared.
"Did Jia Le and her parents get it?"
"This family also disappeared. Our people ambushed by the West Lake and failed to catch Xihua's father. They seemed to have smelled something and hid."
"You're moving so fast!" Zhao Yingong gritted his teeth, strengthening his belief that Hao Yuan was extremely suspicious. He suddenly thought that if Hao Yuan could really wear it alone, then his importance would be the most important in the world.
Zhao Yingong is well aware of the elders' fear of other time travellers. As long as the elders are aroused to pay attention to this, then what he did in Hangzhou will be nothing.
"Has Hao Yuan's simulation come out?"
"It's out. We cross-checked it, and it's correct."
According to Xihua's confession, the first simulation image has been drawn at the stick. Because Hao Yuan had come to the villa as the shopkeeper of Maoxing Hao Niu, and quite a few people had seen him, so Zhao Tong specially cross-identified the portrait, and everyone recognized this person as the "shopkeeper Niu" .
"Send it to Wanbi Bookshop to make plates. We will print a thousand copies first, and mobilize all our efforts in Hangzhou and surrounding prefectures and counties to find it! Anyone who provides useful information will be rewarded with ten taels! Those who kill or capture alive will be rewarded with one hundred taels."
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
"I will contact the government and accuse Hao Yuan of being a gangster. In a few days, the Hangzhou government will go out to sea to capture documents. However, the people in the yamen are unreliable, and we have to spend our own efforts. It's just that we have sea arrests. With paperwork, it will be easier to do things.”
"Okay, now that we have the paperwork, we can pretend to be doing justice and arrest people at will."
"We have a photo of Jia Le. Please take care of the people and try to capture Jia Le first, or capture her family members!" Zhao Yingong said coldly, "Hao Yuan is not far from Jia Le."
"clear."
"How are the autopsies going?"
"There is news from the yamen office: People have come to collect the corpses one after another today. The identities have been identified one by one. But there is no profit." As he said, he took out a report. Zhao Yingong took a quick look and saw that these people had been beaten. Some of the unlucky ones who died were unemployed people, and some were shop assistants. It seemed that they were all members of the gang or were hired temporarily. There are also sericulture households in the suburbs. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. These people were all cannon fodder on the periphery, and it was obviously impossible to come into contact with any important people.
"These are the people who are more promising." Zhao Tong handed over another report.
