Chapter 579 Action Day (2)

The Danzhou Chamber of Commerce created a great scene this time. Not only were banquets arranged for guests and their entourage on the ground floor, but even the coachmen, sedan bearers and horsemen waiting outside the restaurant were all given a bowl of Shou.

Face, to show the intention of celebrating with the people.

Zhang Qianzhi and several other people from Zhongming Academy, who were just Huang Zixing's followers, were arranged to sit on the second floor of Nanhai Restaurant - the treatment of scholars is still one floor higher than that of servants of dignitaries. This floor

The guests in the building are basically students from various academies in Danzhou, and there are about a hundred people. Although Zhongming Academy can only be regarded as second-rate in the local area, the number of people who come is quite large, and many major academies also come.

Just three or four people.

In order to prevent the six people sitting together from being too conspicuous, Huang Zixing had already made arrangements for them before arriving. The six people were divided into three groups and sat at different tables. When the time came, he took the time to go around the restaurant to cause fire and cause chaos.

Zhang Qianzhi knew that the Security Department had already taken precautions inside and outside the restaurant, so he was not worried that these Confucian scholars would really cause trouble. He had more important matters that needed to be dealt with immediately.

Soon Zhang Qianzhi saw Wang Baisuo in the crowd. He made an excuse to say hello to his companions, then got up and walked out. When passing by Wang Baisuo, Zhang Qianzhi seemed to be blocked by the person in front of him, and his steps moved slightly.

After a pause, he said "Zhao Ye is in the academy" next to Wang Baisuo in a very low voice, and immediately passed him.

Zhang Qianzhi knows very well that one of the reasons why the Ministry of Security has not arrested the Zhongming Academy gang is to find Zhao Ye, the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guards officer who "missed" in Danzhou. And this guy is indeed very patient.

It wasn't until the genius finally showed up on the day of the attack that Zhang Qianzhi could only pass the news to his colleagues in the Security Department as quickly as possible on this occasion, and then let them arrange the arrest.

Of course Wang Baisuo couldn't stay any longer after hearing the news. He immediately turned around and left the restaurant. After walking quickly, he entered a house on the roadside.

"Why are you here?" The person in charge here was Lin Nan. Seeing Wang Baisuo coming in in a hurry, he asked.

"Zhao Ye has appeared. He is at Zhongming Academy. Send someone to catch him quickly!" Wang Baisuo raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said, "Zhang Qianzhi gave me the news in the restaurant just now. It should be very reliable!"

Lin Nan immediately stood up after hearing this and responded: "I will contact the vigilante group and ask them to arrest the person. You go back to the restaurant and keep an eye on the place first, so as not to cause any complications!"

The armed personnel participating in today's operation can be said to be of all kinds. The main force of the operation outside the city is mainly militia groups, with field personnel from the local security department as auxiliaries. The situation inside the city is more complicated, with police and militia groups maintaining order on the periphery, and in restaurants.

There are the special service personnel of the Ministry of Security brought by Lin Nan from the base camp, and the Marine Corps under Wang Tom. Coordinating so many armed personnel with different affiliations is also a troublesome matter in itself.

While the Ministry of Security here is still busy arranging the arrest operation, the banquet has already begun in the Nanhai Restaurant. After the representatives of the Danzhou business and cultural circles finished their toasts, it was the turn of the political representatives, and among the Danzhou officials present

He also respected Lord Yan Ming, so everyone present turned their attention to him.

Before coming here, Yan Mingjun knew that he was one of the protagonists of today's good show, and he had no intention of avoiding it at the moment. He raised his glass and said: "All the folks are gathered here today to celebrate Director Zhang's birthday. I am invited to attend."

, and it is also honorable. Since the Han militia repelled the pirates and took back Danzhou last year, the local area has been governed by the management committee. The tranquility of Danzhou today should be attributed to Director Zhang. I would also like to wish you the best.

Director Zhang, you will be prosperous and healthy, and your life will be prolonged!"

Zhang Xin raised his glass with a smile and stood up and responded: "Master Yan is so polite. It is a great honor for Master Yan to be able to attend today. This glass of wine can be regarded as a small token of gratitude from me, Zhang Xin, please!"

After the two drank the glass of wine, Zhang Xin signaled the guests to start moving. Yan Mingjun sat next to Zhang Xin. In fact, he wanted to ask Zhang Xin what he was going to do next, but before he could find a chance to speak,

, the toasters lined up and rushed towards the main table.

However, Zhang Xin did not intend to drink openly on this occasion today. He raised the glass to his lips and touched it without even wetting his lips. Of course, no one would be ignorant to pursue such details. After all, here

The toast was just to make Zhang Xin look familiar, not really to convince him.

Wang Tom, who was sitting on the other side of Zhang Xin, kept his hands under the table. Yan Mingjun glanced at the opportunity and saw that he was holding a black ruler-like thing in his hand. Yan Mingjun had heard that Haihan people

There is a small fire gun that can be fired continuously. It seems to be this thing, but it is difficult to infer its power from its appearance.

Yan Mingjun was not in the mood to eat at all at this time. According to the message he had received from Huang Zixing in advance, after the banquet started, someone would be looking for an opportunity to set fire to the lower floors. When the order upstairs was disrupted, they would sneak into the restaurant.

The assassin took the opportunity to assassinate several Haihan people at the main table. But looking around, he couldn't see anyone who looked like an assassin. He could only pray silently that he would not be accidentally injured when he attacked later - after all, he was sitting on

The seat is too close to Zhang Xin.

At this moment, the plainclothes personnel deployed by the Ministry of Security on the lower floors have silently controlled the stairwells of each floor. Although they do not fully know the identity of the assassin, they want to take advantage of the chaos to sneak upstairs later.

Yes, then he is 100% not a good person.

Yan Mingjun suddenly felt as if someone was staring at him. He turned around and met Huang Zixing's eyes two tables away. Huang Zixing nodded slightly to Yan Mingjun, and Yan Mingjun's heartbeat immediately accelerated. According to what he had done beforehand,

He knew that Huang Zixing and others were preparing to launch an attack.

At this moment, he still felt hesitant in his heart. He still hoped that the assassins could succeed in one fell swoop and kill the Haihan people present. But he also knew that this possibility was slim. The Haihan people had already taken control of the situation, and Huang

Zi Xing and his ilk still thought they could hide the truth, but they didn't know that every move they made was already under Haihan's surveillance. From the moment these people stepped into the restaurant, it was already a dead end with no solution.

The Confucian scholars sitting on the second floor of Zhongming Academy did not forget their tasks. Seeing that the time was almost up, they stood up and left the table with a tacit understanding, planning to find a place to put out the fire first. Of course, they did not

If you want to burn the entire restaurant together, it will probably make it impossible for the people upstairs to evacuate, so there is no need to make complicated fire preparations. You only need to take off the oilcloth wrapped around your arm, light it, and throw it to the floor.

They shouted that there was a fire and disrupted the order. When black smoke was emitting from many places in the building, most people would not have the leisure to check the source of the fire. Naturally, the best thing to do was to run away first.

It's a pity that they will never be able to complete this task. When they had just untied the canvas in the corner, and before they had time to take out the matches to light a fire, several people rushed out, pushed him to the ground, and even prepared

The oilcloth used to light the fire was also put away. Someone wanted to scream loudly to call the police, but before they could scream, a large ball of oilcloth was stuffed into their mouths, and then their hands were twisted behind their backs.

The little finger thick hemp rope was tied tightly.

Naturally, it was difficult to hide this arrest process from the eyes of the guests present. Some people originally planned to stand up to ask, but when they saw a group of Haihan policemen in black leather running up quickly from downstairs and dragging away the bound Confucian scholars,

I immediately gave up the idea of ​​doubting it.

But the next strange scene immediately diverted the attention of the guests. Someone brought in several braziers and placed them between the tables. The braziers were burning charcoal. Suddenly, black smoke curled up, and there were people at the nearby tables.

I choked on the smoke and started coughing loudly.

The temperature in Danzhou is relatively high all year round. Not to mention that it is a serious winter day and there is no need for a fire to keep warm. Therefore, this move makes all the guests feel baffled, but there are two seamen guarding each brazier.

Han police, everyone can only swallow their questions first.

Seeing that the situation on the second floor was under control, Zhang Qianzhi walked to the stairs and shouted upstairs: "It's gone! It's gone!"

The black smoke from the second floor poured upwards along the stairwell. With this shouting, there was a chaos upstairs. Some people ran downstairs in a hurry, and some people with unknown purposes rushed towards the four-story building.

The stairs of the building were trying to go up to the next floor.

Of course, the chaos and noise on the third floor also spread to the fourth floor, but there were only a few prominent people on the fourth floor, and Zhang Xin and Yan Mingjun didn't move, so it was hard for the others to get up and run away in a hurry - after all, this encounter

The tradition of "letting leaders run first" during disasters also exists in ancient times.

"Please be patient, even if there is a fire downstairs, someone will put it out, and it will not affect our eating and drinking." Zhang Xin stood up and reassured the guests present with a relaxed expression: "I can guarantee that this fire will not ignite!

"

The place where Huang Zixing was sitting was only two or three feet away from Zhang Xin. Seeing Zhang Xin's confident look, Huang Zixing suddenly felt a little flustered for no reason. According to the original plan, Huang Zixing's men set fire to the second floor to create chaos, while the ones located on the second floor were set on fire.

When these VIPs on the four highest floors heard the news about the fire downstairs, their first reaction must be to evacuate downstairs first to avoid the tragedy of being unable to evacuate when the fire spreads. The other group of assassins responsible for the attack had all sneaked in in advance.

On the third floor, prepare to assassinate the Haihan people who are hurriedly going downstairs at the entrance of the stairs.

But now the chaos downstairs has happened as expected, and Zhang Xin actually stayed calm in the face of danger. He chose to stand still and asked others not to act rashly. As a result, the script that was originally prepared could no longer proceed. And Zhang Xin

Having already said the words, if Huang Zixing got up and went downstairs at this time, it would be too intrusive.

While Huang Zixing was still hesitating, there were several gunshots downstairs, followed by screams, running footsteps, and the sound of dishes being smashed on the floor. They were constantly heard from the stairs.

Fourth floor. Although Huang Zixing's body was stable and motionless, his back was soaked with cold sweat.

"Don't panic, everyone. Our people are dealing with some restless gangsters downstairs. It will be over in a moment." Wang Tom, who was sitting next to Zhang Xin, finally stood up and said something, but his tone seemed very relaxed.

Most of the people sitting on the fourth floor were local prominent figures. After hearing Wang Tom’s words, everyone’s expressions relaxed significantly. Some people couldn’t wait to start flattering them: “Director Zhang and General Wang are here.

Now that we are in charge, Danzhou will be safe and secure. Even some gangsters dare to harm Director Zhang's good deeds. If they are caught, they must be severely punished!"

Zhang Xin and Wang Tom both laughed and said nothing. They had planned and prepared nearly a month in advance. If their opponents still cause trouble in today's game, then they and the people from the Security Department will resign and go home to farm.

.

Huang Zixing's face turned pale at this time. Even if he didn't know what was going on downstairs, he could still see that the Haihan people had already prepared for today's occasion, and had dug a hole for people to jump into. The only thing not to do now is

What is certain is whether the Haihan people know that they are also involved.

When Huang Zixing was secretly feeling uneasy, he heard Zhang Xin ask: "Principal Huang Shan of Zhongming Academy, his face is so ugly, is there something wrong with his body?"

Huang Zixing responded quickly: "I am indeed feeling a little unwell, and I am about to ask Director Zhang to leave in advance."

"Master Huang Shan, don't leave in a hurry. How can the show continue without you?" The smile on Zhang Xin's face slowly faded, replaced by a solemn expression: "Huang Zixing, what is the real purpose of your coming here today?"

?”

Huang Zixing didn't dare to admit it, so he quickly defended: "I just received an invitation from the Danzhou Chamber of Commerce and came here to celebrate Director Zhang's birthday."

"Is this really so? That's not what your students said!" Zhang Xin sneered: "You probably don't know yet, but just now a few students from your academy tried to set a fire down there, and they have been arrested by our people."

"I don't know about this!" Huang Zixing was confused at this time and could only try his best to evade it.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. We have evidence to prove that these people were ordered by you to try to cause trouble here, kill the newly appointed parents of Danzhou, and provide internal support for the South China Sea pirates to attack Danzhou again!" Zhang Xin immediately threw out his early warning.

He was given a series of charges.

"You...you're such a mouthful!" Huang Zixing was really shocked now. He didn't expect that the Haihan people not only captured his men, but also prepared charges. This crime of colluding with pirates to murder local officials is not a proper death penalty.

Said, the reputation has been completely ruined!

As soon as Zhang Xin said these words, the guests at the table where Huang Zixing was sitting seemed to have received an order, and they all immediately retreated a distance, fearing that this guy would implicate themselves.
Chapter completed!
