There are some in this team who have been recruited and surrendered by the Ming army at night, and the intelligence collected on weekdays is quite accurate. Besides, I don't have the ability to doubt the accuracy of the detective team's information at the moment, so I can only reluctantly accept this result.
"Although we have information, we can't be careless." Qian Duo thought to himself. He was not too worried about the night: as Zhu Si said, the city gates are closed at night, and it is useless for a small group of enemies to reach the bottom of the city. On the contrary, it will be daytime tomorrow. Although there are no large groups of enemies nearby, small groups of enemies can take advantage of the arrival of food tomorrow to harass them.
Although the harassment will not destroy the grain fleet, it can at least create an atmosphere of panic and delay the unloading of the fleet. Although not a threat, it is a nuisance. In particular, Chief Xie attaches great importance to "market stability" and does not want anything to disturb the people.
If he had more troops, he would send a platoon to the surrounding area to conduct a cleanup operation. Not only would he eliminate many enemies, he would at least be able to expel the small group of bandits operating in the suburbs of Wuzhou so that they could not affect the freight. But now he really can't spare anyone.
"Let's make do with this for now." Qian Duo searched for a long time, but he couldn't think of any other way to transform soldiers.
Although martial law was not declared during the day, people could still guess from certain clues that something big was about to happen. Those who are more cautious, and those who have a small income at home simply do not go out.
Luo Yangming was still running around outside as usual, too busy to move. By the time everything was arranged, it was already after four o'clock in the afternoon.
Although everything that needs to be done has been arranged, other things will have to wait for the food to be shipped before they can be fully utilized. Logically, I can go back and have a good rest now. However, he still did not forget Yi Haoran's external investigation question. Before going home, he went to Zhao Toyota again, and the answer he received was still "no reply."
"Even if you can't find it, at least there must be a reply." Luo Yangming felt strange. This is obviously not in line with the work flow!
"Don't be anxious." Zhao Toyota said, "I've been busy these two days. As soon as the food comes into the warehouse, I will check it from the source. See which link has the problem. I still say the same thing, if you are really worried, just let him Catch him and release him after investigation."
Luo Yangming hesitated for a moment. To be honest, although he had an intuition that Hao Ran was a suspicious person, he still had nothing that could be used as "evidence" in his hands. Except that he often goes out on weekdays.
On weekdays, the only person Hao Ran comes into contact with most often is Jiang Qiuchan. She is a native of Wuzhou, well-established, and her husband was killed by the Ming army. No matter from any point of view, there is no possibility of being a spy of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, no matter from which angle you look at it, Hao Ran is an upright and upright gentleman, not a treacherous person. Everyone in the store and at home had a good impression of him. Even Wen Tietou said, "Mr. Hao is a good man."
For a moment, he made up his mind: at this moment, he would rather catch it by mistake than put it away by mistake. He whispered:
"Old Zhao! To be honest, I still don't feel at ease about him. I'll stick to what you said. Detain him first and then release him after a conclusion is drawn in a few days."
"That's it!" Zhao Fangdang couldn't help but take it seriously when he saw how much he cared about Hao Ran. "I'll notify Zheng Ergen right away and ask him to arrest him."
After sending Luo Yangming away, Zhao Toyota also felt a little uneasy. He had been busy with the work of transporting grain these days, and indeed he had ignored the issue of the transfer letter. Even if the objective conditions of Teng County prevent external transfer, the Teng County Office will issue a reply letter. There will never be no news at all.
Could it be that this letter was lost somewhere? Zhao Toyota originally wanted to wait until the grain transportation work was over before checking, but now that he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was very suspicious. He thought: without further delay, it would be safer to check immediately.
Thinking of this, he immediately asked someone to bring over the official document sending and receiving register and other basic books, and also called in the confidential personnel who managed the sending and receiving of official documents to check them together.
According to the procedure, after the external transfer letter was drafted at the county office, it was signed and approved by Xie Erren, and then put into a special briefcase and sent to the destination. After receiving the email, the other party enters the processing process and then replies. There is a handover at every step. A quick check will tell you where the problem is.
According to Zhao Toyota's document number, the confidential officer quickly found the document that day and sent it to Xie Yiren's office to wait for signature. However, this document was not included in the documents returned from Xie Erren's office the next day!
Now Zhao Toyota was a little panicked. Although Chief Xie has many problems, he is not slacking off in his work. Except for some more important things that he will leave for a few days to consider, such routine documents will definitely be signed the next day.
"Check all the registrations for the next few days! Until today!" Zhao Toyota ordered.
Still found nothing. Zhao Toyota did not give up and checked all the communication registrations in Teng County. There was no number for this document.
This time Zhao Toyota was completely confused. Now there is only one possibility left: Chief Xie left this document with him without signing it - strictly speaking, this is out of order. As soon as the official document is numbered, it must be traced. Even if he disagrees with the matter, it must be returned according to the procedures. There is no way of withholding documents.
Hao Ran's external investigation documents just disappeared? This is too strange!
He was an old naturalized civilian cadre. He knew that this matter might be very complicated, so he couldn't help but become nervous. Immediately ordered people to find Zheng Ergen.
"Old Zheng, send someone immediately to Luo Yangming's rice shop and arrest a master named Hao Ran inside."
"Yes!" Zheng Ergen agreed, "After being arrested, is there any direction for interrogation?"
"Detention first. This is a preventive arrest."
"I understand. I'll send someone right away."
After Zheng Ergen left, Zhao Toyota drank several cups of tea in the office and couldn't figure it out. What is this document about? ! Now it seems that the problem can only lie in Chief Xie's office...
In recent days, Chief Xie has been working back and forth between the government office and the third general office, and he also carries the file box with him. It's also hard to tell what went wrong.
"The only choice is to go to the office and inquire." Zhao Toyota thought to himself that there must be a reason for this document to disappear for no reason, and he had to get to the bottom of it.
Yi Haoran was in the room at this time and was writing in red when Qi Liheng came to teach in the morning. He put a red circle on the well-written words, and marked some poorly written words with ink strokes, and wrote the word "Fan" neatly.
This homework was almost corrected, Yi Haoran thought to himself, this is also the last time he will correct this child's window class. Tonight is the time for action. After a melee, no matter life or death, he will never be able to come here again to teach and solve doubts.
Ah Heng is a smart child with considerable talent. It is conceivable that his father should be a promising young scholar. Unfortunately, he died at the hands of the rebels at a young age.
If we can give him time and teach him carefully, this child's future in the imperial examination should not be underestimated. However, now that the country is in Japan and Africa, there is no room for a desk for scholars. Once the Kun thieves take over China, the famous religion will be destroyed. By then, no one will even read the books of sages, let alone the imperial examination!
This child will probably be delayed too. Without his father's protection, his future life will probably be very difficult. In troubled times, people are just like floating leaves, drifting with the tide...
"Mr. Hao." Ah Chun appeared at the door, looking a little nervous, "There are several police officers outside looking for you."
"Oh," Yi Haoran's pen paused and said, "Just wait a moment, I'll come out right away."
After that, he wrote the last few characters, put away the pen and ink, and then walked into the store, where several fake police officers were waiting for him.
"Are you Hao Ran?" the leader asked.
"That's the student." Yi Haoran was calm and without any disturbance.
"This is the arrest document." The policeman took out a piece of paper.
Li Wensheng hurriedly walked out of the accounting room, looking nervous and excited, and asked: "What's going on?! Why do you want to arrest Mr. Hao? What has he committed?"
The policeman said: "We are on an errand. We will tell you what happened at the station."
"How can I get someone for no reason? Mr. Hao works for our boss, Mr. Luo. Mr. Luo is the director of the aftermath bureau of our house. Don't make any mistakes."
"Old sir, don't get excited," the leading police officer said with a friendly smile, "This is an arrest document, and it's our official business. Don't embarrass everyone."
Yi Haoran said: "It doesn't matter. The student has done nothing wrong, and there is nothing important after thinking about it. Just go and go. It won't be a problem." After saying that, he cupped his hands and said to Li Wensheng: "I'd like you to report it to your employer. The accounts are all gone." In the distance, last month's accounts have been sorted out. I also want to inform the eldest sister of the Jiang family that I can't teach Li Heng these days. I have approved his classroom textbooks and they are on the table."
Li Wensheng saw that his attitude was calm and his words were serene, with a vague meaning of "resignation". At present, the war between Guangdong and Guangxi is not over, Wuzhou is practicing "military law", and killing people is commonplace. As soon as Master Hao was arrested, his head might be hanging high at the city gate tomorrow. During the days he came here, he got along well with everyone in the store and the mansion, and developed feelings for each other. Li Wensheng didn't want his chess friend to die inexplicably. He quickly said: "Sir, don't be discouraged. I will report to him as soon as he comes back and let him try to rescue him." After that, he said to the police: "Several gentlemen, my gentleman is the director of the aftermath bureau, and he is always there to help Mr. I'm running around in front of you. Please take care of this Mr. Hao. I will thank you very much." After that, he asked Ah Chun to go to the cabinet and get four silver coins.
"With these four yuan, I can buy a pair of straw sandals for some of the poor men."
Several policemen showed joy on their faces, but the leader did not pretend to be false and said: "Put the money away, we don't want it. You are free to complain to whomever you want. We will naturally treat people well. Take them away." !”
