However, Zhao Tong's inquiries were not without results. He learned from the Caogang personnel that most of those who have been frequently spreading rumors and exposing posts in Hangzhou recently were members of the "beating society" in Hangzhou and nearby prefectures and counties.
There was no conflict of interest between the "beating society" and Zhao Yingong. Their participation was obviously funded by someone else.
Zhao Tong suggested that this hole could be used to investigate in depth.
"It's a pity that we are not a yamen here. Otherwise, if we arrest some of the leaders here and conduct a rigorous interrogation, we will definitely get the information about the mastermind behind the scenes." Zhao Tong said with regret.
Of course it is possible to kidnap people secretly and interrogate them in private, but it is a troubled time right now, and I am afraid that someone is secretly monitoring every move of your family. If you kidnap an opponent's member rashly, if it is leaked, it will become an excuse for your opponent.
To say the least, even if the other party doesn't know or doesn't care about the members' comfort, ordinary members may not be able to get any useful information out of them.
However, starting a company was definitely a breakthrough. Zhao Yiggong thought about it again and again, and suddenly thought of Zhuang Haoren.
Zhuang Haoren is now the leader of the "Oolong Society". Zhao Yingong thought that the relationship between the Oolong Society and Phoenix Villa is still confidential. Now except Zhuang Haoren himself and a very small number of naturalized residents in Hangzhou Station, no one knows about this organization.
The club was actually supported by him, Zhao Yingong. Zhao Yingong also used Oolong Club many times, but on the surface it was a paid-employment relationship, not a subordinate.
"Go and meet him and ask him to try to sneak into the enemy group through his connections and try to find out the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Zhao Yingong's method is very simple. Since you can't pull it out, you have to punch it in. As one of the beating clubs operating in Hangzhou, the Wulong Club is not big or small. It has its own "territory" and a considerable number of basic personnel.
He showed good "combat power" in several fights in Hangzhou Prefecture.
If the other party wants to take further big actions, it will inevitably attract more people - especially the "beating club" with a certain degree of organization and combat effectiveness, which is the first choice of the other party. The Oolong club will most likely fall into their scope of choice.
.Zhuang Haoren’s current public identity is the leader of the Oolong Club. The other party will definitely recruit him to join the gang.
Zhao Tong shook his head and said: "Chief, this is inappropriate."
"Oh? Why."
"You are asking him to go undercover," Zhao Tong said. "Since ancient times, undercover people are not only in danger, but also will be killed once the incident is exposed. Not to mention this; even if they can escape safely, in the future
He is still regarded as a ruthless and unjust person, which means his reputation is ruined. The person who is going to be sent as an undercover agent has either grasped the key points that he has to rely on, or has received great kindness. Zhuang Haoren does not take advantage of any of them. You send him
He went undercover. He must be arrogant and unwilling to die."
There is another layer that Zhao Tong has not said yet. Zhuang Haoren is not a naturalized citizen, but is just a peripheral member of the Hangzhou station. He has not been verified by the Political Security Bureau for reliability. He is required to go out to kill and perform some simple tasks. This kind of
Matters involving the life and death of Hangzhou Station cannot be handled by non-naturalized citizens.
Zhao Yingong thought twice and asked: "Zhao Tong, do you think the enemy has set eyes on us?"
This question is of great importance. Although Sun Wang is the general manager and security captain of this villa, Zhao Tong is specifically responsible for internal security work. He thought for a minute before answering: "Chief, if you say there are none, that is impossible. Yes. But within the villa, I can guarantee that there is not one."
Zhao Yingong nodded. The people who could enter the mansion part of the villa were either naturalized citizens or orphans taken in by Zhao Yingong. Even Cai Shi, who was very useful to Zhao Yingong, and other local slaves - their details had been revealed by the people from the Hangzhou Station Security Department. After checking, it was clear - they still couldn't enter the inner house. Zhao Yingong always came to the outer study when he wanted to see them.
The Security Department of Hangzhou Station has discovered many cases of attempts to plant informants in villas and bookstores: some are blatant, or they directly give away handsome children and maids or recommend Qingke masters; some are carried out secretly, in an attempt to "self-sell" ", "recruitment" and other means were used to sneak into the villas and bookstores.
"Is Xihua doing well in the refugee camp?" Zhao Yingong suddenly asked.
Xihua is one of the first six children over the age of twelve that Zhao Yingong took in and personally taught and raised. He is already fifteen years old this year. Because he is capable and decisive, he is specially assigned to do general work in the "Orphan Hall" of Cihuitang. Work.
Zhao Tong was startled and replied: "You can do things efficiently and fairly. That's it -"
"Just what?"
"A bit arrogant and arrogant. He can't get sand into his eyes. He also has a bad temper. He often embarrasses others in person."
"Haha, if you say so, your popularity is not good."
"Yes -" Although Zhao Tong somewhat knew what the leader meant, he didn't know why he suddenly talked about this girl's character. These things had already been listed in the report materials he compiled and submitted to the ten-member group.
"Does the chief want her to go undercover..."
"I think so too."
Xihua is a good fit. Although she has a bad temper, she is bold, careful and methodical. What's more important is that Zhao Yingong rescued her from Ren Yazi - otherwise she would have been sold to a brothel - the so-called extreme kindness.
"But she works in a refugee camp, how can she go undercover with the enemy? And she is still a girl. Even if the other party believes her, it is impossible for her to walk around to find out information..."
"The thing that our enemy is most concerned about now is probably what I am doing and what I am thinking."
"The chief wants Xihua to be a double agent?!" Zhao Tong received training in the Political Security Bureau training class and learned a lot of professional "Newspeak".
"Yes." Zhao Yingong nodded, "We want to know what the enemy wants to do, and the enemy must also want to know what we are planning to do. If there is a good opportunity, we will never miss it."
"The leader is wise."
"Stop flattering!" Zhao Yingong said sternly, "Go and make arrangements."
A few days later, it will be a "Visiting Day". Cihui Hall has a "Visiting Day" every month or so. The benevolent directors who have made Cihui Hall famous and the local gentry and scholars come to Cihui Hall to visit.
Firstly, it was to let the gentry who had donated money see where their money was spent; secondly, it was to make them suspicious. Many of the "lesson plans" in the late 19th century were made by people who did not understand the charity of the church.
The church maintained its status as a foreigner and was unwilling to communicate, so it caused trouble by spreading rumors.
There were a lot of people coming to this kind of visit at the beginning, but recently there have been very few people - the novelty of the gentry has passed. What's more, it is still midsummer, and the sun is blazing. So there are only seven or eight people here this time.
, one of them is Wu Zhixiang - he has been trying his best to build a relationship with Zhao Yingong recently.
I said I was visiting Ci Hui Hall, but in fact I was just walking around with my noses blocked in the refugee camp at the foot of the mountain - it is said that there is a strong smell due to the large number of people, and inevitably there is the smell of coal smoke blowing from the river. I haven't seen half of it yet.
There, several gentlemen looked bored. Cai Shi was accustomed to serving others and was very good at observing people's words. He immediately ordered the bearers to carry the slide pole and carry the gentlemen one by one up to Fenghuang Mountain.
The mountain breeze blows, and several people suddenly feel cool all over. It is the midsummer season, and the mountains are densely forested. After years of greening and improvement by Zhao Yingong, the scenery along the way is even more pleasant.
About a mile outside the gate of the villa, there is a forest. One of the camphor trees is more than a hundred years old and looks like a canopy. Zhao Yingong has already ordered people to arrange a banquet under the tree. Incense to repel mosquitoes is lit around it.
As soon as we sat down, the maid brought us chilled towels and chilled sour plum soup.
"I didn't expect Mr. Wu to enjoy it so much! He actually got himself a heavenly paradise!" Wu Zhixiang took the ice towel, wiped her face happily a few times, and took a few sips of the thick hanging cup, which was sweet and sour.
After drinking the iced sour plum soup, I felt the fluid on the bottom of my tongue, the wind in my armpits, and my whole body felt cool.
Sitting at the banquet, I just felt the cool breeze blowing. Looking down at the Qiantang River at the bottom of the mountain, the scenery was even more magnificent, and my mind was wide open.
"I have walked through Fenghuang Mountain in the past. I didn't expect that a barren mountain would be transformed into such a state by Mr. Zhao. No wonder everyone said that Mr. Zhao has the most profound knowledge of managing the world and applying it." Wen Huai, a member of Fushe, also agreed.
The others also complimented him, and Zhao Yingong could not help but be polite. Then the person in charge served him wine and food.
Because it was midsummer, everyone's appetite was weak, so the dishes served were all light in flavor. Although there were many dishes, they were not greasy. A lot of fresh fruits were also served, many of which were kept fresh by ice cubes.
Southern fruits are either something you have only heard of but never seen in real form, or they are something that has never been seen in China in this time and space. As soon as they are introduced, everyone’s eyes are widened and they are praised.
A maid brought a large white plate, which was filled with fresh lychees with water droplets still hanging on them. Not only the peel was still red, but even the leaves on the petioles were still green, as if they had just been picked.
.
"The fresh lychees here from Mr. Zhao are also the best in the south of the Yangtze River." Wen Huai hurriedly peeled one open and threw it in his mouth, while peeling another in his hand. "Even my eldest brother has admired the reputation for a long time."
Zhang Dai's enjoyment of life was famous in Jiangnan, but the enjoyment of the industrial era, such as chilled fruits, was something you couldn't get at that time no matter how much money you spent. Fresh lychees are only available in lychee producing areas in Guangdong and Sichuan, no matter how rich you are. Even the most powerful people couldn’t eat them. Even dried lychees were rare. The emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were as high as the Ninth Five-Year Plan. The only lychees they could eat were fresh lychees soaked in honey and then sent to Beijing. The taste was already different from the fresh ones. .
Although there is no gas-fired cold storage here to make ice, Zhao Yingong does have ice ships coming from Lingao. When the ships departing from Lingao go north to the south of the Yangtze River, a large amount of artificial ice preserved in sawdust is used as ballast in the bottom tanks. It is specially supplied to Hangzhou. The station is for personal use and sales. Naturally, it is not a problem to transport fresh fruits.
