Qian Duo nodded: "Soldier replenishment is not a problem. The main reason is that the weapons have been greatly damaged. The Third Squadron had already modified all rifles, but this time almost half of them were damaged and lost. The new soldiers will have to use spears again!"
"I remembered one thing. The dock porters led by Luo Yangming made great contributions this time. Why not recruit them all into the third squadron..."
Qian Duo pondered for a moment and said: "We can't recruit more troops to the Third Squadron. After Jiang Yougong messed up the atmosphere in the Third Squadron, the atmosphere inside will not get better. If we recruit more troops, they will be assimilated. This group of people is not bad, they are all very good. The men are also capable of fighting. They can even supplement the ambush of the wave army. They get such a fourth- and fifth-rate unit but they are ruined. I think the third squadron should be completely disbanded, and then reorganized with the dock porters to form a new third squadron and Replenish the squadron. I think the detective team with hundreds of people in the city should be disbanded as soon as possible. Last night, their performance was completely exhausted. There are no internal agents, not to mention there are a lot of internal agents mixed in..."
"It's hard for us to make the decision on this matter." Zhao Toyota frowned and said, "You and I both know that this so-called detective team is a mixed bag. There are very powerful professional soldiers and there are veterans who are just messing around. Most of them are just here to mess around. No matter what kind of person, they are unreliable. But this system was established by Xie Yuan in accordance with the spirit of the Guangdong Region. If it wants to be abolished, Xie Yuan must speak up, and we cannot do it on our behalf. Besides, when Xie Yuan was doing this, there were It means 'nurturing people'."
"I also understand this intention. Otherwise, why would he have so many teams? He just doesn't want these people to live in poverty and take risks, further exacerbating the chaos in the rear."
"It's not difficult to cancel it, and I don't think Mr. Jie will insist on it. But we have to give these people a way out. Otherwise, they will always be a hidden danger." Zhao Toyota said.
The two looked at each other, unable to think of any solution. However, one good result is that the Sanhezui Prison Camp, a huge burden on the Wuzhou local government, has been wiped out. Whether it's the refugees and prisoners housed inside, or the people who manage the camp, these thousands of mouths are no longer a burden to them.
Of course, from a bad perspective, these people are dispersed and many people live in poverty. They are bound to take desperate risks and worsen the security situation around Wuzhou.
When he thought of this, Zhao Toyota's head swelled several times, and he only felt a dull pain. He sighed: "We can't take care of these things, and we don't have the ability to take care of them. I think the detective team needs to clean up and fire out all those with problems - there are thousands of people scattered outside, not more than these dozens." Those who are capable and have a clean background can simply join the supplementary squadron. I will ask Commander Xie for instructions on this matter."
At this moment, the long whistle of the tugboat came from outside. The two people who had not slept all night stood up as if they were awakened. Qian Duo said: "The grain fleet is coming! I will go to the south gate first."
"You go and take care of it, I have to arrange the rest of the things." Zhao Toyota said with a wry smile, "When the chief asks about it, he has to have an explanation."
After Qian Duo left, he found Zheng Ergen.
"How is the progress of the case?" As soon as Zheng Ergen came in, Zhao Fangdang asked in a face-to-face manner.
Zheng Ergen's collar was open, his forehead was sweating, and he looked furious. He sat down on the chair and gasped: "It's so fucking difficult!"
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly." Looking at his appearance, Zhao Toyota knew that this was a difficult bone to crack.
"Those people in the Jiang family have no luck, so they entered the interrogation room and cried. It turns out that Master Hao is not named Hao, but his real name is Yi Haoran. It turns out that he is a master in Xiong Wencan's shogunate. According to Jiang Qiuchan, when the city was breached, , Yi Haoran had saved her and the child. So he helped him conceal his identity and lurked. As for Jiang Rongxian, he didn’t know anything at all - he thought Yi Haoran was a relative of the girl’s husband’s family..."
"So, the person who sneaked into Luo Yangming's house was Mi Xing through Jiang Qiuchan?"
"That's right. Before Jiang Qiuchan got married, she and Luo Yangming's wife, Ding Atao, were close friends and they often interacted with each other." Zheng Ergen picked up the bamboo kettle he carried with him and took a sip. "This old Luo is not good enough. There are loopholes in the family."
"Stop talking about irrelevant things and talk about the main topic." Zhao Toyota reminded him. Zheng Ergen realized that what he said was inappropriate, so he quickly turned around and said, "Jiang Qiuchan has just these questions."
"Did Cai Lan manipulate Yi Haoran's external transfer letter?"
"It's her. This matter is quite complicated to talk about." He explained the cause and effect of the matter, which made Zhao Fengtian secretly frightened. This Yi Haoran is such a powerful person! He now understood to some extent that Jiang Qiuchan was completely used by him - not only used by him, but also used in a way that he helped count the money after being sold.
Although Zheng Ergen said that things were not going smoothly, the confessions obtained from Cai Lan and Jiang Qiuchan made it clear what happened. Finally, Zhao Toyota was shocked when he heard Cai Lan talking about Chang Qingyun. Because it was he who approved Chang Qingyun’s ghostwriting for Chief Xie!
For a moment, Zhao Toyota's forehead was dripping with sweat. He had just received some news: Chang Qingyun was obviously one of the main persons in the commotion in Sanhezui.
"This is a big deal!" Zhao Toyota thought to himself, once the case is transferred to the Political Security Bureau, he will have to shed his skin! He tried to calm down and pieced together the materials provided by Zheng Ergen in his mind, roughly forming how Master Yi built a network in the city and extended his tentacles directly to the elders. Such a penniless master actually did such a big thing without making a fuss!
"...But this Yi Haoran is not easy to deal with." Zheng Ergen said, "Even now he refuses to say a word. We basically don't know about his activities in the city except for those related to Cai Lan. "
"Have you done anything yet?"
"Of course." Zheng Ergen said with a wry smile, "I used all the yamen servants from the remaining soap classes, and also gave him various torture instruments. This sour man is very tough, and his screams are earth-shattering. Just one sentence There was no confession. I was afraid that I would be beaten to death and I wouldn’t be able to ask any more questions, so I didn’t dare to be too harsh.”
"You did the right thing, grind him slowly and don't kill him." Zhao Fengtian thought about it in his mind and asked, "Have the other prisoners been interrogated?"
"We arrested dozens of people, but we didn't have time to examine them carefully. After preliminary questioning, all those who came into the city confessed that they were all subordinates of Song Ming, a general of the Ming Army. Those who were arrested were all liaisons between Yi Haoran and Chang Qingyun. They are all ordinary big-headed soldiers, and I can’t find anything useful to ask. Only one named Jiang Suo is more suspicious, and others say he may be a leader.”
"Then let's focus on interrogating him." Zhao Toyota said, "We have to find out the situation as soon as possible. Mr. Xie is still waiting for our report."
Zheng Ergen moved his feet a little uneasily and whispered: "Secretary Zhao, please give me a letter and tell me what the chief's position is?"
"What idea?" Zhao Toyota didn't understand for a while.
"This case involves the chief, especially this Miss Cai - did she assassinate the chief at the beginning, but the chief had no instructions?"
Zhao Toyota was stunned. Unexpectedly, Zheng Ergen, who is so rustic and always knows the rules and regulations by heart, would still have this idea! It sounds like they thought of it together. Zhao Toyota considered the words and asked instead:
"Old Zheng, you are a model of doctrine and discipline and you have such a frivolous heart..."
"I'm not fooling around. I've been squatting in Sanya for more than five years!" Zheng Ergen said with a bitter smile, "I don't want to go to Taiwan to be the director or director of the director for a few more years. As you know, the matter involves the elders..."
Zheng Ergen hesitated to speak, and Zhao Toyota certainly understood what he meant. However, it is not advisable to speak too clearly at this moment, otherwise it will be false. He said vaguely: "Yes, matters involving the elders must be decided by the elders." After that, he glanced at Zheng Ergen, and the two of them immediately understood each other and looked away.
After Zhao Toyota compiled the confession sent by Zheng Ergen, he sent someone to learn about the unloading situation of the grain ship, made a simple note, and went to report to Xie Erren without having time for lunch. Instead, Xie Erren came over first.
Xie Erren lay on the bed for a long time, thinking about it but couldn't think of a suitable way to escape responsibility. He knew that it was impossible for him to completely throw away the blame. The only thing he could do was to reduce his responsibilities, especially not to leave any evidence of serious disciplinary violations.
He generally reviewed his governance since arriving in Wuzhou and felt that although he had "overlooked" his subordinates and was "insensitive" to the enemy's situation, there were not many problems in his overall governance. The only real mistake was in Cai Lan's case.
Regardless of whether Cai Lan colluded with foreign enemies or not, just because she assassinated him and he failed to deal with it in a timely manner according to his "enemy nature" and instead pocketed her, there was something deeply wrong with him - not to mention. Said that now it seems that she is still highly suspected of collaborating with the enemy.
"Tuck the female agent into your own bed." Thinking of the harsh discussions in the Senate and the fact that this incident would become his eternal stain in the future, Xie Erren had trouble sleeping and eating. If he was filled with hatred for Cai Lan's betrayal last night, now he was completely filled with extreme disgust.
"Chief, why are you up? It's better to rest first..." Zhao Toyota quickly helped him to sit down at the desk.
"I'm fine. Although there was a fierce battle with the enemy last night, and there was a bump, it was just a flesh wound. The enemy couldn't hurt me yet!" Xie Erren pretended to be bold, "There are so many things going on in Wuzhou now, how can I Can sleep well."
Zhao Toyota said: "Since the chief said so, I am relieved. Let me report on the interrogation first..."
"The interrogation is not urgent, just a few clowns," Xie Erren waved his hand, "I just heard the whistle of the grain fleet. How is the unloading of the grain ship?"
