Chapter 1059 No coincidence can be made

In fact, Hai Han’s measures to introduce immigration are not completely free of loopholes. No matter what the real identity and origin of the immigrants are, they are all recruited and sent back to Penghu and handed over to the civil affairs department for handling. It is not only the only place in Chengfeng, Hangzhou. It also often happened when immigrants were introduced from other prefectures. When Hai Han collected immigrants from the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty in the early days, he also had the deeds of directly packing and taking away prisoners from the Yacheng Prison. However, now Hai Han’s immigration review and supervision and distribution system are becoming more mature, and various potential hidden dangers can be handled more properly in the immigration reception and resettlement process, so there are few incidents that arise from this.

Hai Han spent money to recruit immigrants in Fuguang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang all year round. After the scale of operation is large, there will naturally be considerable interests. Related "industry" has been gradually formed in some areas, and some places have gradually begun to operate immigration as business. However, in recent years, the south has been relatively peaceful, unlike in the north, because of wars, a large number of refugees have emerged. Therefore, it is difficult to ensure that the immigration scale sent to Hai Han is to be kept in order.

Wan Fa's bad luck happened to hit the gun. This time Gong Shiqi came to Hangzhou in person to do business and inspected Cheng Fengxing's operating conditions. It was naturally difficult for these written materials to get away from him. Of course, Gong Shiqi's original intention of exposing this matter was not to rectify Wan Fa. He was not the official in charge of the civil affairs department, and he would not stretch his hands too long to manage these matters. He was just worried that Wan Fa would be so proud that he would ring the alarm bell for him.

Of course, when Gong Shiqi said this, he could not have imagined what variables Wanfa’s previous immigration measures would bring to this action. Some things have long been doomed in the dark, and the accidents in between cannot be changed by human resources.

The next day, Gaoqiaonan continued to lead a team to conduct investigation activities in Hangzhou, with the target still being the location of the yamen in the east of the city. Gong Shiqi was in charge of Chengfeng and wrote a report sent back to Zhoushan Island. According to the agreed arrangements, the joint operation team must maintain a frequency of at least once every two days during their stay in Hangzhou, maintain contact with the base camp through intelligence ships outside the city, and report on the progress of the operation.

To be on the safe side, the action plan planned by Gong Shiqi and others in Hangzhou also needs to be reported to the command center first, and it can only be performed after approval. Gong Shiqi is preparing to summarize the current situation and send it back to the command center to ask for the next action plan. Judging from the current situation, if the action team wants to complete the task, they may have to launch a surprise attack on the target residence at night, and they have to escape from Hangzhou City early the next morning. The risk and difficulty of the action are very high, and Gong Shiqi himself is not very sure about this task.

Wan Fa did not go out, and sorted out the immigration information sent to Zhoushan in his house at the beginning of this year. Although the total number was only a few hundred people, some of the situations that had been a few months ago need to be recalled slowly with limited written registration information. After a meal last night, Wan Fa decided to be honest in the future and not to do it freely in order to make achievements. Next time, if the people from the Ministry of Security catch the handle, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to get out.

Wanfa was upset, and the guy knocked in and reported: "Boss, a guest came outside and wanted to visit you."

Wan Fa frowned and said, "Didn't you tell you that you won't accept guests these days? Let's send guests to another house first."

The guy replied: "I just asked, "This customer is not here to stay in a hotel or stock. He said he wants to talk to the boss about immigration."

"Immigration?" Wanfa stopped what he was doing, looked up at the guy and asked, "What does this guest look like? Have you been here before?"

The guy understood Wan Fa's meaning and quickly responded: "This guest is a naive face, but he looks quite noble in his clothes and talks. He is not like the dealer who brought people here before... By the way, he also brought four followers, all of whom were big and round waists, probably a bodyguard."

Wan Fa's pupils shrank slightly, feeling a sense of danger. His identity is not only the shopkeeper of this small storehouse outside Hangzhou City, but also a professionally trained intelligence personnel. He is also extremely vigilant about various potential risks. In the past, Cheng Fengxing accepted immigrants in the past, except for a very small number of refugees who came to join the door by themselves, most of them were supplied in batches by several human traffickers and prison heads. They basically found a place outside to negotiate a deal, and then found a place on the banks of Qiantang River in the middle of the night or early morning to load and ship away. They handed over the people and the other, and their partners would not find Cheng Fengxing to discuss such matters.

Of course, Wan Fa also knew that human trafficking was at risk of being punished in the Ming Dynasty, so he always only traded with a few acquaintances. Without the introduction of acquaintances, he would not easily accept new partners. No matter what his identity was, Wan Fa could assert that the person was definitely not a good way.

Wanfa thought about it, but still felt that it would be better not to come forward to contact him. He immediately ordered: "You go and send him away, just say that this store is not engaged in such business, please find another skill."

The guy turned around and was about to leave, but Wanfa called him again: "Wait... you must be more polite in your words, and don't commit crimes."

After the guy went out, Wan Fa thought it was wrong, so he stopped what he had done, got up and went to the backyard to report the matter to Gong Shiqi. After hearing this, Gong Shiqi called one of his subordinates in: "Appoint two people to go around through the back door, wait for the visitors in the front yard to leave, and follow them to find out."

The people here just were sent out, and Wan Fa's friend also came back from the front yard. The reply he brought did not make Wan Fa feel relieved. The guest did not accept Wan Fa's reply, but insisted on letting him go out to meet. After hearing this reply, Wan Fa quickly returned to Gong Shiqi's side and reported the new situation to him.

"Then you go and meet, so as not to make people suspicious. First, I will send your friends to the front yard kitchen to do things. I will also go over and see the situation later." Gong Shiqi immediately changed his decision: "Others have prepared everything and sealed the front and back doors. If they need to do something, they must deal with it decisively and don't let the news leak out."

Gong Shiqi has been in charge of the field team for many years, and has done a lot of murder and silence. When encountering such an emergency, he was not panicked. He immediately issued an order to his opponent. This time, half of the people who followed him were from the field team of the Security Department and half of the soldiers of the Special Operations Battalion. It is still very certain that more than a dozen people would be blocked in this store. Besides, no matter how powerful the other party is, there is a batch of short guns brought by Gong Shiqi this time, which should be a sure win. Of course, considering that the movement cannot be too much, the first choice for the weapon to take action here is still a cold weapon.

But Wan Fa had never experienced such a scene before. Seeing the followers beside Gong Shiqi immediately drew out a long and short knife, he was also a little panicked: "Boss...what...what should the villain deal with it?"

Gong Shiqi patted his shoulder and comforted him, "With us as your backing, what are you afraid of? You should first find a way to find out his profound identity. If it is an ordinary person, send it away as soon as possible. If it is a person in the yamen... then send it with the money first. These people will never be able to get along with the money, it is just the price."

Wan Fa asked, "What if the other party didn't come for silver?"

Gong Shiqi said: "If you don't recognize immigration, what can he do to you? If you want to act roughly here, no matter what his origin is, my brothers under him promise that he cannot stand and leave here! But unless it is absolutely necessary, they should solve it peacefully. After all, we have a heavy responsibility this time and do not lose the big picture. You should try your best to deal with him. If the scene is out of control, I will come forward to solve it."

Wanfa then relaxed a little and followed the guy to the front yard to see the guests. Gong Shiqi also rushed over with his people. The reception room in the front yard was already built with a wall. Gong Shiqi could see the situation in the hall without showing up.

Gong Shiqi saw through the small gap specially left on the wall, and could see the visitor sitting upright in the hall. He was a man in his forties, with thick eyebrows and deep eyes, short beards and black silk robe. Four young and strong men stood behind him, with hard objects protruding from his waist, probably with weapons like daggers on his body. Gong Shiqi suddenly felt a strange feeling when he saw this man's appearance. Although it was obviously the first time he saw this face, he always felt that he had seen it somewhere.

Just as he was thinking about the identity of the visitor, Wan Fa also appeared in the hall, and there was no panic on his face, and he changed into the face of a businessman who usually deals with people: "I'm here, Wan Fa, I've been waiting for you for a long time! Some business needs to be handled just now, so please forgive me!"

"It's easy to say." The middle-aged man nodded and responded carelessly.

"I don't know what the distinguished guest is called?" Wan Fa remembered Gong Shiqi's instructions just now, intending to test the identity and purpose of the person first.

"I'm in the next surname Liao." After the man said this, there was no further text. It seemed that he did not intend to say his full name.

"It turns out it's Boss Liao." Wan Fa was not discouraged and continued to trick the other party: "I wonder where Boss Liao made a fortune?"

"Boss Wan, I won't say much about these polite words, just talk about the serious matters!" The man did not have the interest to chat with Wan Fa slowly, and ignored his question: "I heard that Boss Wan's Cheng Fengxing is recruiting immigrants for the Hai Han people in the East China Sea?"

Wanfa was mentally prepared before he came out. At this time, he was questioned by the other party in person, but he was not confused. He immediately shook his head and denied: "Haihan people? Cheng Fengxing is just a small shop and has no contact with the Haihan people in the East China Sea. Zunjia probably has misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding?" The man surnamed Liao smiled and said, "Boss Wan is probably because he is a noble man who forgets things and can't even remember what happened last month. Well, let's remind you again."

He stretched out his hand to the side, and a man behind him reached into his arms, took out a book as big as a palm and handed it to him.

The man surnamed Liao opened the book slowly and recited according to the content recorded above: "On the ninth day of last month, Ding, a native of Huizhou Prefecture, sent 57 people, and received 320 taels of silver from Chengfeng. Last month, Liu, from the prison of Yuhang County, reported 34 criminals from the prison to Hangzhou, and received 240 taels of silver from Chengfeng... Boss Wan, you, a human trafficker, have a prosperous business! Do you still need to listen to the transaction records going forward?"

Even though Wan Fa was mentally prepared, he was finally unable to hold back when the other party told these things in person. Even his boss Gong Shiqi might not know the details of these transactions. Where did this person know?

"You... who are you? Why are you deliberately fabricating such crimes and slandering me?" Wan Fa shouted with a stern look: "Do you want to blackmail Cheng Fengxing? I'm here to advise you to retreat quickly, otherwise you will be arrested by the official and you will regret it when the time comes!"

Of course, Wan Fa did not expect his bluffing intimidation to work. He just wanted to use this to test the other party's identity again. If the other party was a human trafficker, he would definitely be very taboo about reporting the official, but if the other party was not... Wan Fa could only place his hope on Gong Shiqi who was ambushing in the dark.

"Then you might as well guess what will happen after reporting the official? Maybe you will become the first prisoner in Hangzhou to report the case and arrest yourself in prison. Do you want to give it a try?"

Hearing the other party's unscrupulous reply, Wan Fa's heart slowly sank to the bottom. Since the other party is not a human trafficker who comes to contact business, it is only possible that he is a public servant in the yamen, but he just doesn't know whether the other party is a constable from the Hangzhou government office or a Qiantang county office.

"Wanfa, what can you make this?"

Just when Wanfa was at a loss, the other party took out a waist sign and asked his subordinates to hand it to him. Wanfa took it and knew that it was an ivory made of the same material as his identity waist sign, but the carving was not as detailed as his own. But after seeing the content carved on it, he no longer had to pick on the material and carving of the waist sign.

The upper end of this waist sign is embossed cloud pattern, the lower end is octagonal, and the three characters "Dongsifang" are engraved horizontally on the top. The two characters "Guanfang" are engraved in seal script in the middle, and the left is a vertical row of regular script "Jinzi Li, Baisi Shihao". Wanfa flipped over the waist sign tremblingly, and two lines of regular script are engraved on the north side, "The arch-guard of the Jishiqiu hangs this card, and those who lose money are not allowed to be punished."

Wanfa stumbled and knelt on the ground, held his waist card in both hands, and said in his mouth: "I don't know if it's an official, please forgive me!"

Wanfa had seen this kind of waist brand before. It was when he was training in Sanya. The Haihan Military Museum and the Security Department had the collection of Jinyiwei's waist brand. Except for the number on it, the others were exactly the same. Moreover, no one would make fakes for this thing. He pretended to be the emperor's personal army and would have to peel off even if he didn't die. The man named Liao in front of him should be from Jinyiwei. Wanfa knelt on the ground, thinking that there was no way to be good at this matter. When his boss brought someone to fight with the Jinyiwei, he had to dodge him earlier to avoid being injured by accident.
