Chapter 1964

Li Bo had already been in Heitu Port for six days at this time. He basically visited all the places worth visiting in the nearby area, even the mineral veins in the exploration stage. This arrangement has already exceeded what he had done before.

In fact, in his opinion, if he does not plan to learn coal mining related technologies here, then there is no need to spend more time here. He would rather return to Hainan Island as soon as possible to continue the previously interrupted trip.

, go and see what Danzhou, known as the cultural and educational industry center of Haihan, is like.

Originally, according to the original scheduled itinerary, Li Pu should have embarked on the return journey two days ago, but because the weather was unfavorable and the sea was rough, at Bai Kesi's suggestion, Li Pu made another trip on Xie Chun's private island.

We lingered for two more days. Although he was as leisurely and comfortable on the island as on vacation, Li Pu was still thinking about his mission. Seeing that the weather had begun to improve, Li Pu took the initiative to mention the arrangements for the return trip to Bai Kesi.

Bai Kesi didn't want to end the affairs here as soon as possible and return to Hainan Island, but the investigation and arrest work in Danzhou was said to have reached the most critical moment, so Zhang Xin sent a telegram, hoping that Heitu Port could delay it for another day or two until the local area

After the arrest operation was completed, Li Bo and his party were arranged to go to Danzhou.

And Li Bo never imagined that while he was still staying on a beautiful island in Halong Bay, a fleet of ships arrived in Danzhou Bay in his name. However, due to the official implementation of port restrictions,

Strict security controls have been implemented, so ordinary people cannot go up close to witness the elegance of the Joseon prince. Although the official is very low-key and does not do much publicity about this, after all, he is the only foreign dignitary to visit Danzhou recently.

, the news still spread quickly locally.

Of course, some people had already learned about the visit of the Joseon Crown Prince before this, such as Xue Zheng, who got the itinerary two days in advance. Although Xue Zheng had no way to enter the port area that was blocked by the army in advance, he still

I specially took two of my men to the vicinity of the port to confirm that important people had indeed arrived at Danzhou Port.

Xue Zheng had basically decided to put all his money on the Yangyue Village suggested by Huo Fei, but he did not completely believe Huo Fei's words. He had already sent people to Yangyue Village to confirm whether the local environment was suitable for the village.

The attack was launched at night. Fortunately, there were still more than two days of preparation time before the final operation, so he planned to see the situation of the North Koreans after they arrived in Danzhou today, and later he would rush to Yangyue Village to check the local area in person.

environment.

Xue Zheng chose a teahouse with a better view on the official road outside the port area and asked for a window seat on the second floor. From this place, he could see the temporarily closed port area. After waiting for most of

Hours later, he saw several Haihan-style sailing ships arriving at the pier. Judging from their appearance, they should be the same as the sailing ships that the Koreans took when setting off from Sanya. However, because the distance was too far, even if he tried desperately to see them clearly,

More details, but completely powerless.

In fact, one of the items that Xue Zheng carried with him was a civilian telescope made by Haihan. Since there were not many civilians with this telescope, it was expensive. Xue Zheng had spent nearly a thousand yuan on the black market before.

It was a treasure he bought at a high price. However, he did not dare to show it at this time, because there was no doubt that there were government eagle dogs nearby. If he blatantly took out the telescope to observe the area where important people were, it would easily cause unnecessary trouble.

.

After waiting patiently for about two more sticks of incense, the roadblocks set up by the military on the branch road connecting the official road in the port area were finally moved away by the soldiers on duty, and soon a convoy appeared in Xue Zheng's field of vision.

, all black box carriages, seven in total, with cavalry guards on the outside. This kind of security level is obviously that of a first-class important person.

Because there were cavalry ahead to clear the way, the convoy moved unimpeded after entering the official road, and soon passed where Xue Zheng was. And Xue Zheng also noticed that several of the accompanying cavalry were wearing foreign costumes, which were not the uniforms of Haihan soldiers.

, presumably they were the bodyguards brought by the Crown Prince of Joseon. This at least proved that the itinerary provided by Huo Fei was relatively accurate. Next, as long as the subsequent visit locations were confirmed, they would also be consistent with the itinerary given by Huo Fei.

If the contents of the order match, you can safely arrange the last night's actions.

Of course Xue Zheng could not have imagined that everything he saw, including the itinerary given to him by Huo Fei, was just a big show arranged by Haihan officials. And the purpose of such labor and mobilization was to hide in the

Xue Zheng and his accomplices were lured out from the dark, and before the real crown prince of Joseon arrived in Danzhou, they completely solved the hidden danger that had troubled Haihan officials for many days.

If it had not been for the support of the local government in Danzhou, Zhang Qianzhi would not have been able to mobilize so many resources. Not only did he close off a port area for this purpose, but he even specially mobilized several sailing ships to pretend to be the fleet of the Joseon Crown Prince, and took over

In the next two days, more local organizations will be invited to participate in this performance.

After Xue Zheng had the detailed itinerary provided by Huo Fei, even if it was difficult to see the real owner at the moment, it was not difficult to verify the authenticity of these itineraries. After all, most of the places where the prince of Joseon would go

Deploy security measures in advance so they can be easily confirmed.

Of course, in addition to verifying the itinerary, Xue Zheng also wanted to take this opportunity to learn as much as possible about the security level around the Joseon Crown Prince. Regarding this, Huo Fei provided him with some information for free. The Joseon Crown Prince only took with him this trip.

Four personal guards, and the rest of the security measures were all arranged by Haihan. On the last night of the trip, Haihan did not arrange for a top figure to accompany the Joseon Crown Prince to Yangyue Village, so the security intensity that night would definitely be

It has weakened slightly compared with the previous two days.

Although this is good news, Xue Zheng still does not dare to have any confidence. When it comes to using force, his group of people are indeed capable, but they may not be able to defeat the personal guards of such important figures. In the end, they still have to use more force.

It would be safe to attack as few as possible. So he planned to deploy all these men to Yangyue Village at that time, with the goal of killing them with one strike.

Xue Zheng left the teahouse, and someone at another table on the second floor got up and followed him out. The remaining two people continued to sit upright. One of them asked: "Did you recognize it just now?"

Another person responded: "Your Majesty, I can see clearly, but that person's face was covered with soot as a cover up. I only felt that his face was vaguely similar to the businessman just now, and his body shape was actually the same... If you can hear me,

When he speaks, I will probably be more confident in making a judgment!"

The person who asked the question was Zhang Qianzhi, and the person who answered was one of the witnesses he specially transferred from Changhua, the cavalryman who had a conversation with Xue Zheng outside Wusan Workshop that day. Zhang Qianzhi was at Changhua Institute

The portrait of the suspect painted was also based on this person's description. However, Xue Zheng deliberately modified his appearance when he was posing as a porter in Changhua, so even the witness himself did not dare to confirm that the businessman just now was the same as himself that day.

The porter I saw was the same person.

While Xue Zheng was verifying the itinerary of the Joseon Crown Prince, Zhang Qianzhi was also trying to confirm that this was the same leader who was posing as a porter in Changhua and plotting evil. Although Huo Fei claimed that he had tested this person, he should have fled from Changhua.

, but Zhang Qianzhi still hopes to have more reliable evidence to confirm this.

Of course, if he was reckless, Zhang Qianzhi could have mobilized his troops to surround the inn, capture Xue Zheng and his gang first, and then use torture to confirm this. But if his judgment was wrong, someone else would take action in Changhua.

If he or Xue Zheng has other accomplices deployed outside this inn, it is very likely that they will alert the snake, and it will be difficult to catch them all in one go.

Therefore, even though he has basically grasped the movements of Xue Zheng and his group, and successfully dragged them into the trap he set through Huo Fei, Zhang Qianzhi still did not rush forward greedily and continued to slowly close the big net in his hands step by step.

After the first day passed, Xue Zheng was basically convinced of the reliability of the itinerary provided by Huo Fei. Although he was unable to sneak into several places where the North Korean Crown Prince went, and did not even see the target's figure, it was true that

It is completely consistent with the content on the itinerary.

"It's true that money can make all the difference!" Xue Zheng rarely ordered a few jars of wine to reward his men that night. After drinking for a few times, he couldn't help but sigh.

Although he is very aware of the business atmosphere in the country of Haihan, he has never thought that even such important information can be purchased directly with money. Although the price is indeed a bit exaggerated, as long as the final goal can be achieved, no matter how much it is spent,

It was all worth it. Xue Zheng even thought for a moment that if he could afford a high enough price, he would be able to bribe the Haihan government and let them kill the crown prince of Joseon directly.

Of course, such ridiculous thoughts only flashed through his mind, and he would not really think too much in this strange direction. His current attention was focused on the actions the day after tomorrow, and he had no time to take into account other selfish thoughts.

The men sent to Yangyue Village to check the environment did not return to the inn to meet Xue Zheng the next day. The reason for the one night delay was actually Xue Zheng's request. He asked his men to stay at the scenic spot that night to check the environment, especially

Visibility, surrounding shelters, access roads, etc. are used to judge whether the place is suitable for taking action at night.

The result made him quite satisfied. According to the men who went to Yangyue Village, the "Yantang Yangyue" was actually located in the wilderness outside the village, not far from the village, but at night there was actually no one there.

They also asked the villagers specifically, and found out that some literati would come to this place at night to admire the moon and the scenery. Some people would bring their own food and wine. After drinking too much, they would lie down by the pond and take a nap.

Almost every year, there is a ridiculous incident of a drunken scholar falling into a pond. However, the pond is shallow, so no one has drowned so far.

This pond is surrounded by a large dense forest. Let alone a dozen people, even one or two hundred people can hide in it as long as they feel safe. The road leading to this pond is not wide, and vehicles such as carriages cannot reach the pond directly.

If you go there by car, you have to get off the car after driving about 20 or 30 feet and then walk there. This kind of environment is perfect for Xue Zheng who wants to launch an attack locally, and it can effectively delay the target's escape.

process.

In addition to this village, there are several miles to the town. There is no garrison in the town, there is only a town office, which is responsible for handling civil affairs. The maintenance of public security basically relies on the rural militia. However, the militia only has one month of intensive training.

Two days, usually only after the town hall issued an order, would they gather from each village, which was not a deterrent to Xue Zheng.

All signs indicate that the environment of this scenic spot is indeed very suitable for launching an attack. It can even be said that this is a place tailor-made for Xue Zheng's mission. Xue Zheng immediately decided to go to Yangyue Village a little later to confirm the local

environment, and arrange the final action plan.

"Sir, target A has taken five people to leave Danzhou City and cross the Beimen River. They should be heading to Yangyue Village. Our people will continue to watch on the other side of the river, but there will be no confirmation until later.

News report."

Zhang Qianzhi received the latest report in Danzhou City. He did not go to Yangyue Village in person. Instead, he asked Wang Baisuo, who was more familiar with the local environment, to lead the team there. However, Wang Baisuo did not station himself in Yangyue Village, but stayed in Yangyue Village.

In another nearby village to avoid being noticed by your opponents.

The actions of their opponents have basically shown their intentions. It seems that they have indeed placed their treasure in Yangyue Village according to Zhang Qianzhi's arrangement.

After receiving the report, Zhang Qianzhi immediately went to meet with Zhang Xin, because he wanted to mobilize two companies of troops to deploy controls near Yangyue Village, and this required application and reporting with Zhang Xin. At the same time, starting from tomorrow night, temporarily

The port of Danzhou and the city of Danzhou were closed, and only people were allowed to enter, not to leave, until all the people who should be captured were captured.

"It's finally over! Don't let the thieves run away this time. After arresting them tomorrow night, Mr. Bai and the North Korean Crown Prince will arrive the day after tomorrow. They must clean up the battlefield!" Zhang Xin signed the transfer order.

The words were stamped with a seal, and then he gave Zhang Qianzhi a few special instructions.

This time, in order for Zhang Qianzhi to be free to act, Zhang Xin gave great support. If he could not finish the matter, it would be difficult for him to explain to the executive committee. The North Koreans had already stayed in Heitu Port for too long.

For several days, if he knew the inside story, it would inevitably affect Haihan's reputation, so this matter must be settled without leaving any sequelae for the North Koreans to notice.

Zhang Qianzhi came out of Zhang Xin's official residence and felt that he was full of energy at this time. He had already set up a dragnet in Danzhou, and tomorrow would be the time to close the net. He was very excited about how big the fish caught in this net would be.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's results.
Chapter completed!
