After some discussion, everyone returned to the big boat, and the small boat left with the salvaged corpses, first to deliver them to the government, and then to salvage other possible corpses along the way. It would be great if they could find survivors.
"The enemy's secretive tactics are really abominable. They don't dare to attack head-on with open swords and guns. They engage in conspiracies and conspiracies that make it difficult for people to guard against. If you are not careful, you will fall into their trap."
Luo Zheng, who came after hearing the news after boarding the ship, cursed after learning about the situation. He had gone north to kill the enemy. After hearing that the enemy might be working as a spy, he wanted to kill two people to vent his anger.
Yun Jing said: "The competition between countries is like this. Various means are used to obtain the greatest benefits at the smallest cost. They arrange their craftsmen on the ships transporting supplies north. Each ship does not need many, only one
Two people can make a profit if they can sink a cargo ship. Even if the person who planted them is discovered and dies, it doesn't matter. After all, they are just sabotaging, not for profit."
"This is so disgusting," Luo Zheng said after taking a bite of his balls.
For a martial arts practitioner like him, he is not afraid of fighting with open swords and spears. He has a big scar on his head, and the most annoying thing is this kind of conspiracy, which makes people unable to use their strength.
Xing Guangning said in a deep voice: "It's one thing if you don't know that the other party is doing such a small trick. If you know it, you should be more vigilant. I think it won't be a big problem."
"That's right. This kind of conspiracy involves sending more people or experts just to sink a ship. Once it's discovered, it's not worth it to stay. But this is what makes people depressed.
", Luo Zheng said tangledly.
Bai Zhi thought for a while and said cautiously: "What if the other party sends experts to destroy the ship?"
"It's not impossible. After all, it's hard to guard against masters secretly sabotaging things, so we need to be more vigilant. Hey, it's such a troubled time," Xing Guangning said tangledly.
This kind of thing really makes people passive.
Luo Zheng looked at Yun Jing, thought for a while and asked: "Master Yun, you are a scholar and have a flexible mind. You don't have any solution to this kind of thing?"
After thinking for a while, Yun Jing said: "The enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. This is very passive. There are always times when pure defense is neglected. After all, every ship does not know who the enemy has planted and when he will take action. Once the opponent takes action, it will be very dangerous."
It is possible that everything will be too late, and the Li River is too long. There are countless ships transporting goods on the river every day. The enemy is secretly up to something, and the people are scattered. It is difficult to catch them all at once."
"Doesn't it mean that we have no choice but to be passively defensive?" Xing Guangning gritted his teeth and said.
Shaking his head, Yun Jing said: "Actually, it is very simple to solve this kind of trouble. The enemy must have an organization to deploy agents within the territory. If we can find this organization, follow the clues, find its headquarters, and get the list of all agents, we can carry out precise arrests.
By arresting him, we should be able to solve this hidden danger once and for all.”
"This is too difficult. Although I understand the intrigues between countries very well, I also know that for the existence of Xizuo, their concealment is their biggest threat. Once exposed, they lose their value. Moreover, these Xizuo are dead soldiers.
Even if he is caught, it is almost impossible to force him to identify the specific members of the organization." Luo Zheng licked his hair and said. Thinking of this, I don't know how many brain cells have died.
Xing Guangning shook his head and said: "Okay, it makes no sense for us to talk about this. I have already asked people to notify the government of the situation. It depends on how the government responds. It is a major matter for our family and country, and we ordinary people are too insignificant."
When manpower is limited, things in the world are like this. You know that there is a big conspiracy, but you are powerless. This is what makes people tangled.
Thoughts flashed in his mind. In Yun Jing's view, if he were to encounter a craftsman, observe secretly, and use his own methods to follow the clues, he should be able to pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, and completely figure out the obstruction behind it, right?
No matter how tight the organization is, even if it is a single line of contact, he always has to contact other people, trace it layer by layer, and finally go straight to the source, and then go through it from top to bottom to find out their specific personnel distribution at that time
Isn’t it clear?
To put it bluntly, any organization cannot escape a pyramid structure. The people below do not know the ones above, but the people above certainly know the ones below. Therefore, first from the bottom up, and then from the top down, this problem becomes simple.
The key is to have a detailed composition to introduce the cloud scene.
It is not difficult for Yunjing to find such an introduction. As long as he observes carefully, he will always find it.
Thinking about this, Yun Jing said: "Actually, there is another way to stop these little tricks."
"What can I do?" Bai Zhi asked curiously, and the others also looked at Yun Jing.
He said: "The easiest way is to end the war!"
"You don't have to say that," Luo Zheng shook his head.
Yunjing thought at this time that his master Li Qiu had said that he would be transferred to the front line, so he thought that the gunpowder reserves for the Dali Dynasty should be almost ready.
As a result, the decisive moment may be within these two years, but the outcome is unpredictable. After all, there are too many factors that determine the outcome of the war.
There is no need to tell them these things, Yun Jing said: "It depends on the reaction of the government. We ourselves must also be more vigilant."
“That’s all we can do now”
Yun Jing decided to investigate and organize the matter in secret. It was easier for him to hide alone, and he would not alert others. He only needed to give him an introduction and the matter would be settled quietly.
As a scholar with a reputation as a scholar, Yunjing was familiar with various departments of the Dali Dynasty.
In the Dali Dynasty, there were two very special departments, one inside and one outside.
They are Ant Tower and Eagle Hall respectively.
These two departments have little to do with the general public, but they are existences that are talked about by countless people.
Ant Tower is a very mysterious spy agency. It is an external organization that is all-pervasive. It specializes in targeting enemy countries, infiltrating, assassinating, sabotaging, and collecting intelligence. These are their specialties.
Except for the few people on the front of the ant house in each place, no one knows who is in the ant house. Each of the 'ants' is very mysterious, and their identity is a mystery. Although they are a department specially targeted at the enemy country
, but investigating spies is also their essential job. Normally, the people in Yilou will not have anything to do with anyone, but if you are a spy, you may not know when you will be targeted.
No one wants to deal with this department for fear of avoiding it. In most cases, they are the only ones who take the initiative to find you.
The people in the ant building are called ants. This name is very humble, but it is the most true portrayal of their identity. After all, their identity cannot be seen in the light, and they can only remain unknown after death.
In addition, there is the Eagle Hall, which is an internal organization. Just like the name, they are like eagles hovering high in the sky, looking down at the world, specifically targeting those martial arts practitioners who commit crimes.
This is an open-face organization that cooperates with the yamen army. If there are masters committing crimes in a certain place, if the local area cannot be solved, they will be dispatched. If necessary, they can also mobilize the army to cooperate. This organization is the least popular among people in the world.
You may not know when they will come to your door.
Since it is a department on the surface, it cannot escape the sophistication of people. This is why Menghu Village has been able to stay in Crouching Tiger Mountain for so many years. Although Wang Tianba has done many evil things, he can't stop his father Yang Ang from dealing with it. In addition,
The war broke out for many years, and there were countless bandits in various places. Yingtang was extremely busy, so Menghu Village ended up being secretly dealt with by Yunjing.
If Yunjing can figure out the detailed information about the enemy's elaborate organization and hand it over to Ant Tower, countless ants will definitely be able to uproot this elaborate organization.
After all, the Lijiang River is too long, and God knows how many detailed works are scattered everywhere. Yunjing can take care of several places by himself, so it is best for this department to handle it.
Although the ants in the ant building are mysterious, they are government departments after all and have yamen. It is not difficult to find them. There is no need to contact the 'ants', just give the information to the yamen.
You don't even need to guess, these little tricks carried out by the enemy on the Li River must have attracted the attention of Ant Tower. However, the enemy soldiers were too cautious and committed suicide when caught, leaving Ant Tower temporarily helpless.
It's possible that there are members of the Ant Tower on this ship, but no one knows who they are.
The cargo ship continued to sail on the river, and Xing Guangning and others were worried. After all, no one knew whether the enemy would target them again. If they continued to target them, when would it be next time?
You don't need to think about it to know that if they continue to be targeted, it will definitely be unexpected, and by the time they find out, it may be too late.
The day passed quickly. In the afternoon, people from the government came to the cargo ship by speedboat. They were received by Xing Guangning and others. The people from the government came to learn about the corpse on the river during the day.
From the people in the government, Yunjing secretly observed and learned that shipwrecks often occurred on the river during this period. There had been dozens of incidents upstream and downstream. Each time the accident happened, it was a cargo ship carrying a large amount of grain and oil supplies northward.
Do you know how much precious food sank to the bottom of the river in vain?
Similar things have happened many times, and the officials along the coast have attached great importance to it, but they can't find any clues. It has even caused people to panic. Countless cargo ships dare not go north. After all, once the ship sinks, the loss is not something ordinary people can afford.
If things continue to develop, and no cargo ship dares to continue going north, and materials cannot be transported to the north, the enemy's conspiracy has been achieved, which will be extremely detrimental to the next war situation in Dali!
After the officials arrived, they learned a little about the situation, reminded Xing Guangning and others to be more vigilant, and then left to deal with the aftermath of the shipwrecks that occurred everywhere.
As night fell, Yun Jing and the others ate dinner with mixed emotions. Before they could go to the cabin to rest, they were once again startled by a noise coming from the front of the cargo ship.
"Quick, put down the boat and go to rescue people." As soon as they arrived on the deck, they heard Xing Guangning's anxious yelling.
Yun Jing's mental energy radiated out, and he soon saw hundreds of people flopping on the river in front of the cargo ship, a thousand meters upstream.
And below those people, in the river, a large cargo ship was slowly sinking to the bottom of the river...
