Gu Sansi's words made Ye Mingsheng's serious expression finally soften. He nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Nagu, just start taking action."
"Yes, sir!" Gu Sansi said with his hands raised:
After saying that, he looked at Huo San, who was kneeling on the ground with a face full of shame. His eyes flickered and he said:
"Sir, in order for the plan to achieve better results, I need Director Huo to cooperate with me..."
Seeing Gu Sansi interceding for Huo San, Ye Mingsheng glanced at Huo San and said lightly:
"Get up!"
"Yes!" After receiving Ye Mingsheng's order, Huo San dared to stand up slowly.
Looking at the dejected Huo San, Ye Mingsheng gradually regained his senses from his anger. At this time, Gu Sansi seemed to have noticed that Ye Mingsheng had something to say to Huo San, and he raised his hands and said very wisely:
"Sir, I'll go down and get ready first!"
"Yeah!" Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly.
After Gu Sansi left, only Ye Mingsheng and Huo San were left in the lobby. Ye Mingsheng then asked in a low voice:
"What percent of the names on the list account for your spies?"
When he first got this list from Shen Jianzhong, Ye Mingsheng didn't see what it was until he later saw from the list the names of several spies deployed in other areas that Huo San had reported to him. Only then did Ye Mingsheng realize that this list was the list of spies deployed by Huo San and outside Fengzhou...
The only thing Ye Mingsheng hopes now is that all the spies deployed by Huo San will not be wiped out!
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Huo San wiped the sweat from his forehead and said bitterly:
"About half"
Although the whole army was not wiped out, Ye Mingsheng also felt pain when he heard this answer. The intelligence network he spent thousands of taels of money on Huo San had not been used for long, but it had already been cracked by Shen Jianzhong's Supervision Department. Half of it was lost, and the loss was enough to make Ye Mingsheng feel painful!
And the most important thing is that it is not the loss of the intelligence network itself, but the time!
Although Shen Jianzhong did not take action against these people, he took out this list of personnel. Then for the sake of safety, all the people on the list need to be given up, and half of the people are given up, which means that Ye Mingsheng's intelligence network needs to be reorganized. Deployed··········
And redeployment takes time. It requires repositioning, co-opting, and corruption. This all takes a long time!
Unfortunately, what Ye Mingsheng lacks most now is time!
Now that the war is approaching, the situation in Liaoyang will become very chaotic. At this juncture, Ye Mingsheng needs his own intelligence network to provide him with information from all sides to allow him to make a judgment!
But at such a critical moment, his intelligence network had to abandon half of its spies and redeploy them. It is self-evident how great the loss was...
Feeling the disappointment in Ye Mingsheng's expression, endless fear emerged in Huo San's heart. He knew very well what would happen to him once he was abandoned by Ye Mingsheng. Thinking of this, he quickly said with fear:
"Sir, although these seventeen people were discovered by the Supervision Department, the most important chess pieces are still safe now. As long as they exist, the intelligence source of our Investigation and Statistics Department is guaranteed!"
"As long as these people exist, in three months, no, two months! I can get the Intelligence Network of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics functioning again!"
Hearing what Huo San said, Ye Mingsheng also remembered the situation of the most important chess pieces that Huo San had reported to him. After pondering for a while, his expression gradually calmed down.
Although Huo San was beaten a bit badly by Shen Jianzhong this time, it is not incomprehensible if you think about it carefully. After all, his opponent was Shen Jianzhong, the most terrifying secret service agency of the Great Zhou Dynasty - the Supervision Department!
It can be said that the Supervision Department has penetrated into all walks of life and every aspect in Liaoyang. I even heard that they secretly controlled some bandits and caravans in order to do some dirty work. It is conservatively estimated that they have thousands of people.
Although Ye Mingsheng spent thousands of taels of silver on Huo San, the Supervision Department may only have so much money for one operation.
With such a huge gap in strength, this time Huo San's Fengzhou Soldiers and Horses Statistical Investigation Department was overtaken by the Supervision Department deliberately and unintentionally. This is normal, and it is not surprising when you think about it.
But this time he was beaten really badly!
This is just unacceptable to Ye Mingsheng...
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng's expression had softened, Huo San secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was temporarily out of danger. Then he seemed to have thought of something, hesitated for a while, and then decided, reporting to Ye Mingsheng:
"Sir, I got a piece of news. Fan Kuan, Qianhu of the Supervision Department, is fond of beauty. He raised a pair of sisters while hiding money outside. He also lost nearly a thousand taels of silver in the Gongsun family's casino. He is a member of the Gongsun family. Now I'm chasing him for payment!
"Fan Kuan originally wanted to borrow money from Shen Jianzhong to repay the debts of the Gongsun family, but Shen Jianzhong only advanced his salary of 500 taels for the next two years and asked Fan Kuan to figure out the rest."
Ye Mingsheng also became somewhat interested when he heard this. If he remembered this Fan Kuan correctly, this person was one of the first people who joined Shen Jianzhong after he became the governor of the Supervision Department.
He reciprocated Fan Kuan's defection to Shen Jianzhong and promoted him to Qianhu, so Fan Kuan could be regarded as Shen Jianzhong's person.
However, I heard that Shen Jianzhong did not like Fan Kuan very much, so the relationship between the two was not very close. Shen Jianzhong did not take him to do some money-making transactions. As a result, although Fan Kuan was in the Liaoyang Supervision Department in front of senior officials like Qian Hu, But life is not very rich.
However, this Fan Kuan is quite capable and has strong martial arts skills, so Shen Jianzhong also entrusts him with some important matters. Therefore, this Fan Kuan can barely be regarded as the core senior management of the Supervision Department in Liaoyang.
Judging from what Huo San meant, did he want to drag Fan Kuan into the trap?
If this happens, it will be a real weapon against Shen Jianzhong. For a behemoth like the Supervision Department, unless Ye Mingsheng one day controls the power of the entire Liaoyang, it will be difficult to overthrow them from the outside.
Therefore, if you want to deal with Shen Jianzhong, it may be a good choice to find a way from within the Supervision Department. Isn't there a saying like that?
The strongest fortresses are often breached from within...
Shen Jianzhong's move this time has already made Ye Mingsheng feel how powerful his teacher is. In view of the incompatibility between himself and him, Ye Mingsheng felt that he needed to place someone within the Supervision Department to ventilate him. Report the news.
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng raised his head, took a deep look at Huo San and said:
"How sure are you of pulling Fan Kuan into the water?"
In response to Ye Mingsheng's question, Huo San thought for a moment and replied:
"Sir, I have a 50% chance of being humble!"
"Fifty percent..."
Ye Mingsheng felt that the probability was neither high nor low. Under the temptation of placing someone within the Supervision Department, he couldn't give it a try!
Ye Mingsheng made up his mind and asked Huo San:
"How much funding do you need?"
Huo San immediately shook his head when he heard this, bowed to Ye Mingsheng and said:
"You don't need to spend a tael of money on this matter!"
"Oh? What do you mean?" Ye Mingsheng asked in surprise:
"My humble duty and incompetence caused the Military Statistics and Investigation Department to suffer such a heavy blow. I feel guilty for my humble duty. I hope you can give me a chance to make amends!"
"I am dissatisfied with your humble position and the honor of working for you during this time. I have also saved some money, which is considered a small savings. This time I am selling the pot and selling it, and I want to take Fan Kuan into your account for you!" Huo San said decisively:
Huo San's words made Ye Mingsheng look at him with admiration. He knew about Huo San's saving of money, but Ye Mingsheng also understood that it was impossible for the cows to run fast and not let them eat grass. !
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng turned a blind eye to Huo San's actions. According to his estimation, Huo San should have more than a thousand taels of silver in his hands now, and buying Fan Kuan must be something like this. It's going to take a lot of money, and most likely all the money Huo San saved will be spent. Judging from this, Huo San is quite courageous...
"Have you thought about it? Are you really willing to give it up?" Ye Mingsheng asked Huo San with interest:
"Please give Huo San a chance!" Huo San bowed and said firmly:
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. If you don't have enough money, tell me!" After looking Huo San up and down, Ye Mingsheng ordered:
"Thank you for your grace, your humble position will definitely fulfill your mission!" Seeing that Ye Mingsheng agreed to the matter, Huo San said excitedly,
Although he loves money, he also knows that money is something external to the body. As long as Ye Mingsheng continues to support him for one day, he will be able to earn back the money sooner or later.
And if Ye Mingsheng gives up on him, then no matter how much money he has, he will still have no life. So the top priority now is to make Ye Mingsheng feel his loyalty and ability, and don't let Ye Mingsheng give up on him... ···········
"The matter of bribing Fan Kuan can be done later. What you have to do now is to cooperate with Mr. Gu to solve the immediate emergency!
"Then, conduct a self-examination within your Statistics and Investigation Department to see if there is any evil within you. Investigate how your Supervision Department knew the information about these seventeen people!" After pondering for a while, Ye Mingsheng asked Huo San in a deep voice. warned:
"Yes, I understand!" Huo San nodded seriously.
After a while, Huo San bowed and left. Ye Mingsheng sat alone on a chair in the main hall, his eyes twinkling.
This time the intelligence network suffered a heavy blow. While he was disappointed with Huo San, he had just thought about replacing Huo San, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up the idea.
First of all, although Huo San was dealt a terrible blow by Shen Jianzhong this time, there was a problem with Huo San's ability on the one hand, and there was also a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and Shen Jianzhong still attacked suddenly, so this time it was considered excusable. Original.
Secondly, if Huo San is replaced, Ye Mingsheng can’t think of anyone under him who can take over Huo San’s position, and Huo San will perform better in the Statistical Investigation Department.
As a rational leader, Ye Mingsheng needs solutions to problems rather than simply venting his anger.
Based on the above considerations, Ye Mingsheng finally decided to give Huo San a chance to reform and let him prove his worth to himself again!
Of course, although Huo San is still needed now, it may be time to take precautions and find some better candidates in advance!
·················
·················
Late at night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, in the Fengzhou General Military Mansion.
A dark figure skillfully bypassed the guards outside the study and sneaked into Ye Mingsheng's study. After getting what he wanted a moment later, the dark figure quickly left the study and headed towards the back door of the General Military Mansion. Run.
After a cup of tea, Ye Dong came to a side room of the General Military Mansion, handed over his hands to Huo San and Gu Sansi who were drinking tea inside, and said:
"Two adults, according to your arrangement, the fish has been hooked!"
Hearing the news, Huo San looked questioningly at Gu Sansi, who was sitting opposite. Gu Sansi looked slightly satisfied at this time, and then he took out the general soldier Ye Mingsheng gave him from his arms. He handed the token to Ye Dong and said with a smile:
"Captain Ye, please cordon off the General Military Mansion in half an hour. After an hour, take this token and go to the camp in the north of the city to see Commander Chen Chuanwu and ask him to send troops to enforce martial law throughout the city!"
"clear!"
Although he was a little unclear as to what Gu Sansi was up to, when he thought of what the young master had told him, Ye Dong took the token from Gu Sansi and left!
After Ye Dong left, Huo San, who still looked a little worried, looked at the contented Gu Sansi and asked with some doubts:
"Mr. Gu, are you so sure that Shen Jianzhong can be fooled? That Shen Jianzhong is really not a good person..."
At the end of the sentence, Huo San recalled the list that Shen Jianzhong took out during the day, and couldn't help but feel a look of sadness on his face.
Facing Huo San's inquiry, Gu Sansi smiled and nodded:
"Director Huo, have you heard the story about Jiang Taigong fishing? I am like that Jiang Taigong right now, and Shen Jianzhong is like that fish. Whoever wants to take the bait!"
After finishing speaking, Huo San still looked a little confused. Gu Sansi couldn't help but shook his head and continued to explain:
"Director Huo, don't worry! If I lend ten more courage to Shen Jianzhong, he won't dare to gamble!"
Faced with Gu Sansi's increasingly confusing words, Huo San simply stopped guessing and asked directly:
"Mr. Gu, what are you asking Shen Jianzhong to bet on?"
Seeing that Huo San still didn't understand, Shen Jianzhong sighed and continued to explain:,
"Director Huo, do you know that Chen Dechang asked our Chief Soldier to go to Changqing Mansion for a meeting? Why didn't our Chief Soldier go?"
Upon hearing this question, Huo San immediately said:
"Mr. Gu, I know this. Our Commander-in-Chief is worried that Old Thief Chen will sing about the Hongmen Banquet!"
Gu Sansi showed a cowardly expression, and then said meaningfully:
"That's right! That day our commander-in-chief didn't dare to bet whether Chen Dechang was hosting the Hongmen Banquet. Today Shen Jianzhong doesn't dare to bet either!"
