Chapter 566 Monitoring
He Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I forgot about it because of my impatience." After saying that, he raised his hands.
The militiaman reached out and groped around him quickly to make sure he didn't carry any dangerous items. Then he stopped and said: "Be more conscious next time! Go in!"
He Qi nodded in agreement and followed another militiaman into the inner courtyard. The militiamen took him outside a study room and reported: "He Qi, the yamen servant, is here!"
"Come in!"
He Qi entered the room and subconsciously wanted to kneel on the ground. The voice stopped him: "He Qi, if we don't like kneeling here, please stand and talk!"
"Yes, yes, I remember." He Qi quickly stood up again, but still bent down and lowered his head, saying in a low voice: "Director Wang, I have something to report."
The man called Director Wang said in a deep voice: "Is it about the new governor? Let's talk about it."
He Qi responded: "Yesterday, the headmaster of Zhongming Academy outside the city, Huang Zixing, took the initiative to visit Mr. Yan. Today, Mr. Yan asked the villain for details about Huang Zixing, and also carefully inquired about the situation of Zhongming Academy. As far as the villain knows, this person The poor man named Huang is not an honest person. He is one of the few local academies that have been unwilling to cooperate with the leaders of Haihan. This guy took the initiative to find the Yamen. The villain thought that there might be something wrong with it. Attempt.”
He Qi had been a government servant in Danzhou for many years, so how could he not know Huang Zixing? He had previously told Yan Mingjun that he did not know, just to delay time. The Haihan people had already greeted him. If there was any suspicious situation in the state government, they had to come to this office without any signboard to report the situation. Of course, this kind of reporting is not without benefit to him. As long as Haihan confirms that the information he provided is true and valid, certain financial rewards will be given. For He Qi, this is not only a means of self-protection, but also a secret way to make money.
Director Wang asked: "Then what did you tell Yan Mingjun?"
He Qi said: "The villain only briefly talked about the situation of Zhongming Academy, and the rest was just that he didn't know. Master Yan gave the villain one day to collect information about Huang Zixing."
"Was there anyone else present when these two people were talking?"
"I heard from Lord Yan's servant that Lord Li was here yesterday." He Qi responded cautiously.
"Okay, you go do what you are supposed to do. If there is any new progress, come back and report back. Whatever Yan Mingjun wants to know, just tell him exactly what you know tomorrow." Director Wang quickly sent He Qi left, but he did not forget to give the other party a little sweetness: "Tomorrow you go to the Danzhou branch of Haihan Bank in the south of the city, report your identity to the counter, and you can receive a reward."
< br>
"Thank you, Director Wang, for the reward. I'm resigning!" He Qi withdrew happily. This money is much easier to earn than in the past, so it is no wonder that so many former colleagues have chosen to help the Haihan people. But what he didn't know was that Director Wang, whom he didn't dare to look at just now, was actually the same person he was with two years ago.
Wang Baisuo was also from Hainan Island. He used to be a Wanzhou policeman. After Haihan annexed Yazhou and before launching the "Prairie Fire Plan", Wanzhou was one of the main infiltration directions of the Executive Committee. At that time, Wang Baisuo, who was depressed and frustrated, heard that Haihan people hired retired public servants with high salaries, so he gritted his teeth and resigned from his original public position to join Haihan.
The remuneration given by Haihan was naturally much higher than his original income, and he was actually doing the same job he was doing, which was still investigating cases and arresting criminals. However, after working for more than half a year, he was transferred from the Police Department and assigned to the Haihan Security Department. And his immediate boss is Hao Wanqing, the second-in-command of the Security Department.
After Haihan implemented the "Prairie Fire Plan" last year, Wang Baisuo was sent to Danzhou to command the intelligence and security agency here, and also received the official position of "Director of the Office". Although the actual authority of this "director" is far from that of his boss Hao Wanqing's "director", Wang Baisuo understands how rare it is to get an official position under the Haihan people. What's more, this "Haihan Security Department" is not an ordinary department, but a real privileged department. For ordinary naturalized citizens and Ming Dynasty personnel, the Security Department can launch investigations without the approval of the Ministry of Justice. If necessary, it can Take some unconventional means to achieve your goal.
In terms of law enforcement authority alone, Wang Baisuo believes that his current position is much greater than when he was a police officer in the past. There are no dignitaries within the scope of the Ministry of Security's responsibilities. Even if you are a state or county official, they can still check it without fail. When those colleagues in the past met him again, they all became groveling, and the director shouted in a bossy manner. This sense of superiority was not something that could be experienced when he was a police officer in the past.
Of course, Wang Baisuo also knew very well that his status was given by the Haihan people. If he wanted to keep his current position and continue to climb the Internet, he had to do things well. According to his understanding, the nature of the Haihan Security Department is actually very similar to that of the Ming Dynasty Dongchang and Jinyiwei. It is also a secret law enforcement agency hidden in the darkness. The difference is that this organization is not responsible to any individual, but is loyal to the highest power center, the Haihan Executive Committee.
The order Wang Baisuo received before being sent to Danzhou by Hao Wanqing was to "maintain political stability in Danzhou and eliminate various hidden dangers that may affect Haihan's local rule." This work goal is not difficult to say, but it is not that simple to say simple.
The Haihan Militia and the police force have a strength of nearly 400 people in Danzhou City. Although the number of troops is not large, the assembly is enough to suppress any reactionary armed forces that may appear in the local area. In addition, there are several warships cruising in the Qiongzhou Strait for a long time, and they can also provide Danzhou with certain armed support when necessary. These armed forces are enough to maintain the security of Danzhou and prevent major disturbances.
However, as an intelligence and security department, the branch established by the Haihan Security Department in Danzhou does not have that many staff. In fact, there are only a dozen or so people under Wang Baisuo's direct command. More often, they still need to communicate with the Ministry of Justice and the Military Just coordinate. For example, the guards guarding the courtyard of the Ministry of Security Office are personnel provided by the military.
Such a small manpower to control the entire Danzhou's information is indeed quite stretched. Wang Baisuo can only focus on the key points and strengthen the surveillance of some important departments and important figures - such as the new local magistrates and generals.
The various performances and movements of these two people before their departure from Guangzhou had actually been passed on to Wang Baisuo through the channels of the Ministry of Security before they arrived in Danzhou. According to the information previously obtained, these two people did not show strong anti-Haihan tendencies before. When they were in Guangzhou, they also accepted red envelope gifts from the Guangdong Office and Li Nai respectively, and Li Nai The evaluation of these two people seems to be pretty good, and it is believed that it is possible to draw them into Haihan's circle. However, from the moment they landed in Danzhou, these two people seemed to be a little out of tune with the local conditions. First, Li Jin led his people to fight on the pier, and then at the reception banquet, Yan Mingjun and Zhang Xin seemed to have a bit of a fight. Verbal disputes. Although Wang Baisuo did not attend the reception banquet the day before yesterday, he roughly knew what happened at the banquet and what everyone said.
Even if He Qi didn't come to report the fact that Huang Zixing, the head of Zhongming Academy, went to the temporary state government office to visit Yan Mingjun, Wang Baisuo had already received the news. Before the two people settled in the yard arranged by Haihan for them, the Ministry of Security had already deployed people to conduct long-term surveillance nearby.
Although these two alternate officials have no soldiers or money and are just two bare commanders, the responsibility of the Security Department is to nip problems in the bud, and their status as Ming officials is a huge hidden danger. If possible, Wang Baisuo would rather find a way to frame these two guys and send them all to Annan to dig coal, instead of using limited manpower to conduct aimless long-term surveillance of their mansion.
Wang Baisuo signed the unfinished document in a few moments, then called the staff to take away the document. He left the courtyard alone and went to the management committee's residence. Regarding the response to this matter, He must first communicate with the local chief administrative officer.
Zhang Xin was slightly surprised after listening to Wang Baisuo's description: "So on the second day of the reception banquet, Huang Zixing went to find Yan Mingjun? This guy is really restless!"
The "restless guy" mentioned by Zhang Xin refers to Huang Zixing. He has been working in Danzhou for a long time and has dealt with Huang Zixing several times. He knows that this guy has a lot of dissatisfaction with Haihan. . Last year, the Annan militia group disguised as pirates sacrificed Huangjiazhuang in Fucheng. Zhang Xin also received relevant notifications about this matter. Although Huang Zixing himself did not participate in his brother's anti-Haihan actions near Fucheng, judging from his daily attitude, Zhang Xin believed that he was also a potentially dangerous element. Therefore, after Haihan took control of Qiongbei , Huang Zixing's movements were consciously restricted, and he was prohibited from taking any ships to sea.
If Huang Zixing was not well-known in the local cultural circles, and arresting him might have a negative impact on Haihan's reputation, Zhang Xin would have been too lazy to worry about it, and would have simply handed it over to the Ministry of Security for behind-the-scenes operations. .
The other party involved, Yan Mingjun, and Zhang Xin originally wanted to observe, but Zhang Xin was not satisfied with Yan Mingjun's remarks at the reception banquet, and the local gentry followed his lead, so naturally no one dared to do so. At this time, I went to visit Yan Mingjun.
It is indeed a bit unusual for a restless guy like Huang Zixing to rush to visit the new local magistrate. Zhang Xin would not think that Huang Zixing came to Yan Mingjun to discuss poetry and poetry. He came to Yan Mingjun so quickly. It was obvious that he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the new local magistrate's position was not stable and quickly draw him into the anti-Haihan campaign. Go to the camp.
Zhang Xin did not rush to draw conclusions. He was in charge of administration. He had to listen to the opinions of professionals on this kind of matter: "Wang Baisuo, what do you think about this matter?"
"Reporting to Director Zhang, I think it is necessary to send more manpower immediately to strengthen surveillance on Yan Mingjun, Li Jin and Zhongming Academy to find out what Huang Zixing's intentions are." Wang Baisuo's attitude was very upright in front of Zhang Xin, and he did not even sit down. Sit down and keep standing to answer.
"Then what support do you want from me?" Zhang Xinyan asked concisely. Although he is the chief administrative officer of the Danzhou area, Wang Baisuo belongs to the Haihan Security Department, which is a special department under the executive committee. Zhang Xin has no power to interfere, and Wang Baisuo has no need to report everything to him. . Now that Wang Baisuo took the initiative to come to the door to communicate, it was obvious that he wanted something from him.
Wang Baisuo responded: "It's easy to talk to Yan Mingjun and Li Jin. The Security Department can arrange surveillance by itself, but the personnel access situation at Zhongming Academy is more complicated. It is estimated that the manpower of the Security Department alone is not enough. I request Director Zhang to dispatch at least twenty people." A capable police officer, under temporary command of a humble position."
Zhang Xin thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll write a written material later. You can take it to the police force and coordinate the manpower issue with them yourself."
Zhang Xin raised his hand to stop Wang Baisuo, who was about to say thank you, and continued: "But there is one thing you must do. Before you arrest anyone or take any big action, you must first communicate with me. If I don’t approve it, you can’t take any unauthorized action.”
Wang Baisuo hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "I obey Director Zhang's order."
At this time, He Qi's delay of the whole day came into play. After coordination between several departments, that afternoon, a team of plainclothes police officers specially transferred to Danzhou from Baimajing Wharf in Danzhou Bay reported to Wang Baisuo. The reason for specially transferring people from 20 miles outside Danzhou City was Wang Baisuo's decision after communicating with the police force. The main reason was to prevent the police officers stationed in the city from being recognized by the surveillance targets because of familiar faces.
When He Qi went to report Huang Zixing's situation to Yan Mingjun the next day, Wang Baisuo had already deployed surveillance personnel at key nodes inside and outside the city. Just near Zhongming Academy, seven or eight people were sent to pretend to be woodcutters, herb gatherers, passing merchants, traveling monks, etc.
"According to what you said, this Huang Shanchang of Zhongming Academy has always been at odds with Haihan?" Yan Mingjun asked specifically after hearing He Qi's description.
He Qi nodded and said: "After I went to inquire yesterday, I found out that the Huangshan chief's family is fighting a land lawsuit with the Haihan people in Fucheng. It's just that the evidence seems to be unfavorable to the Huang family. I'm afraid they will lose the lawsuit."
He Qi's description was consistent with Huang Zixing's last self-report. After Yan Mingjun knew it, he said to He Qi: "Go to Zhongming Academy and tell me that I will visit tomorrow."
