"Boss, Liao House is open."
After receiving the report from his subordinates, Takahashi Minami immediately got up and left the house. He has led his team to continuously monitor Liao Xun's residence for several days. For this purpose, he even rented a private house nearby to serve as a temporary command post. Liao Xun probably never imagined that as the head of an intelligence agency, someone would dare to monitor his residence around the clock.
Five days passed by in a flash. According to the agreement between Liao Xun and Wan Fa, Jin Yiwei would send personnel today to blend in with the new batch of immigrants collected by Wan Fa and set off for Ningbo via the waterway. Gao Qiaonan's task is to keep an eye on Liao Xun and determine the origin and quantity of Jin Yiwei's men, so that after they set off, they can notify the Zhoushan base camp of the situation through the radio on the intelligence ship, so that they can be prepared to receive it in Ningbo. .
Gao Qiaonan and Gong Shiqi divided their duties in the past few days and were responsible for the command of operations inside and outside the city. Inside the city, Gao Qiaonan arranged multiple teams to separately monitor the three targets, while outside the city, Gong Qiao was in charge. Fengxing slowly completed the plan for the next contact with Liao Xun.
It was just getting dark, and there were already several large covered vehicles parked outside the gate of Liao's house. Judging from the conditions when they arrived, they were all empty. This once again confirmed Takahashi Nan's previous guess - Liao Xun's plan The personnel sent to Zhoushan have been hiding in this large house connecting the two houses.
Sure enough, soon a group of men quietly came out of the gate of Liao's house and quickly boarded these large cars. There were not even many pedestrians on the street at this time. Except for the members of the action team who were secretly monitoring Liao Zhai, no one probably noticed the small movements here.
Although the view was not clear enough due to the long distance, the person responsible for monitoring roughly calculated that there were twenty or thirty people boarding the cart. This number also slightly surprised Takahashi Minami. He originally thought that Liao Xun probably planned to send a few spies to the island, but if so many people were invested at once, it was obviously not just a plan to send spies to the island to lurk.
Gao Qiaonan couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, Liao Xun found Cheng Fenghang's head by mistake. If he had found another dental shop, his plan might have succeeded. If so many people sneak into Zhoushan Island, even if they are arrested according to the list, it will take a lot of time. It is hard to say how much trouble will be caused.
Not long after, Liao Xun also appeared at the door, got into the sedan without stopping, and then the team set off. This house is located in the north of the city, and the Fengshan Gate to the south of the city goes right through the city. However, at this time, the city gate should not be opened yet.
"Continue to monitor here. People from Team A are following me." Seeing that Liao Xun had already led the team, Takahashi Nan immediately issued an order to continue following up. In order to ensure that the action team had sufficient mobility, Gao Qiaonan immediately spent money to buy two carriages after entering the city, which were used as the main means of transportation in the city these days.
There were no pedestrians on the street at this time, and it was clear where the opponent was going, so there was no need to worry about losing the target. The carriage Takahashi Minami was riding in fell far behind and slowly moved south along the avenue. .
In about one stick of incense, Liao Xun's team arrived at Fengshan Gate. Someone stepped forward and revealed their identities to the city gate defenders. Then the city gate slowly opened and let Liao Xun and his group out. However, there were still some people waiting to leave the city, and they all had to line up under the city wall first.
"Boss, the Fengshan Gate is ahead. The city gate has not yet been cleared. Should we go queue up or something?" The subordinate asked Gao Qiaonan in the sedan for instructions.
"If the Jin Yiwei can go out, so can we. Don't forget that we are now the Ming Dynasty's official army." Gao Qiaonan did not intend to wait in the city honestly. He had to see Liao Xun's men set off on the boat before he could rest assured.
So the group continued to move forward until the defenders of Fengshan Gate came and stopped the carriage. Takahashi Nan's men stepped forward to identify themselves and asked for permission to leave the city. The city gate guard heard that the people on the bus were thousands of people from other provinces. He hesitated to let him go. He was also a high-ranking military attaché and it was not easy to offend him in person. However, the reason for letting him go was actually because of a violation of the rules and for personal reasons. It seems a bit unworthy of a foreign military attaché to take on the responsibility.
At this time, the person who came forward to negotiate with him used his trump card and stuffed a piece of silver into the opponent's hand without leaving any trace. The officer leading the team weighed the situation secretly and ordered the city gate to be opened to let the team out.
When Gao Qiaonan and his party came out after negotiating with the city gate defenders, Liao Xun and his party, who had left the city first, had already arrived at the dock by the Qiantang River. Wan Fa was also waiting here in advance. When he saw Liao Xun getting off the sedan, he quickly went up to greet him and said: "Master Liao, the boat and people are already in place. Do you want to go and see for yourself?"
Liao Xun nodded and said: "Lead the way."
Wanfa contacted several places in the past few days, but due to time constraints, it was actually difficult to come up with the number of immigrants Liao Xun needed. Later, he found the Yuhang County Prison and picked up more than 20 people from the prison. Eighty people were scraped together. Of course, this temporary method of capturing people's heads must require money to replace them. For this purpose, Wanfa also spent a lot of money. Fortunately, this expenditure has been approved by Gong Shiqi, so there will be no follow-up. trouble.
The ship responsible for transporting this group of people was a Dafu ship hired from a shipping company designated by Liao Xun. This was also one of Liao Xun's preventive measures to prevent Wanfa from playing tricks in this link. However, for the immigrants that Wanfa had recruited in a hurry, Liao Xun had neither the means nor the interest to verify their identities one by one, so Gong Shiqi boldly arranged for a group of people to mix in with the immigrants - anyway, these immigrants interacted with each other. They don’t know the details between them. Since Jin Yiwei wants to mix in the sand, then you and I will mix in, and let’s see who’s scheme is deeper.
Liao Xun boarded the ship and briefly inspected the crowded immigrants in the cabin, but did not conduct any further inquiries. When these immigrants boarded the ship, his men conducted the most basic body search to confirm that they did not carry suspicious items or weapons. This was enough for Liao Xun, and he immediately ordered the people on the shore to get off the ship and board the ship.
Takahashi Minami and his party had also tracked to the dock at this time, stopped the carriage far away, and Takahashi Minami hid in the car, using binoculars to observe the situation on the immigration ship.
Liao Xun's men had already changed into civilian clothes before setting off from the city, and they also made them dirty and old on purpose. At first glance, it was indeed difficult to pick out these guys pretending to be poor farmers from the crowd. . However, there are already people from the action team on the ship. Even if Liao Xun's men dress up, everyone who boards the ship will be remembered by the intelligence personnel who have sneaked in in advance. When Haihan over there in Ningbo takes over, When they arrived on the boat, these Jinyiwei spies who had sneaked into the immigrants had nowhere to hide.
Watching the boat slowly sail away from the dock, everyone on the dock let out a sigh of relief. What Liao Xun thought was that his plan had finally taken the first step, and so far it seemed to be going very smoothly, which should be a good sign. But what Wan Fa thought was that most of the tasks assigned to him by Gong Qiqi had been completed. All that was left was to follow the steps step by step and slowly drag Liao Xun into the trap that he had already laid out.
"Master Liao, we have to wait for the dental shop owner from Ningbo Prefecture to come to Hangzhou." Wan Fa reminded him jokingly: "After I introduce you to Master Liao, I hope you can remember your promise and spare me a day." "You should be punished." "Don't worry, I will remember how much you did in this matter. When the matter is over, not only will you not be charged, but you will be rewarded based on your merits." Liao Xun said to Wan. This is not the first time that I have issued a bad check, and it doesn’t matter if I say it again.
Wan Fa quickly expressed his gratitude, but what he was thinking about was the next date of their meeting, which would probably be when you, Mr. Liao, capsized.
The next day, when Liao Xun was still working in the Jinyiwei Yamen, his subordinates hurried in and reported the long-awaited news to him - Wan Fa from Chengfengxing in the south of the city invited him over, saying that the person Liao Xun wanted to meet would be there soon. arrive.
When Liao Xun heard this, it came very quickly. The immigrants were just sent away yesterday, and today the real owner came to Hangzhou. Liao Xun also wanted to resolve the uncertain factors in this plan as soon as possible, so he put down what he was doing and led a team of people to the south of the city.
"Liao Xun is out of the city, and we are ready to take action tonight!" After Gao Qiaonan, who had been monitoring Liao Xun's movements in the city, learned the news, he immediately geared up and prepared for a big fight.
In addition to the group of people he led, there were also a group of people pretending to be craftsmen in the house Gong Shiqi purchased in the south of the city, carrying out the so-called renovation project of the old house. The two teams combined have more than a dozen people, which is enough to execute the plan.
When Liao Xun arrived at Chengfengxing, he saw that the place was still open for business. There were merchants coming and going from time to time. He wanted to let his subordinates temporarily seal the place, but Wan Fa advised: "This matter should not be made public. If there is news, When the news spread, the people of Haihan became wary. Wouldn't all the things that the Lord had done before be in vain? The villain has specially set aside a room in the backyard as a meeting place for the Lord and the Ningbo boss. The backyard is clean and there is no need for the Lord. Worried about being disturbed”
Liao Xun thought about it and it made sense, so he nodded immediately and said: "You are indeed good at being a human being... Well, I will follow your advice and wait for him in the backyard. When will this person arrive?"
Wan Fa responded: "The person who sent the message said that it will arrive before midnight tonight."
Liao Xun said: "There are still a few hours, please go down and buy some food and wine so that my subordinates can fill their stomachs first."
Wan Fa quickly agreed. He specially calculated the time to notify Liao Xun to come over, just to let him have dinner here. If you want to take down these Jin Yiwei without any blood, there is probably no way more effective than adding drugs to the food.
Of course, the person Liao Xun was waiting for would not arrive in Hangzhou until midnight. Gong Qiqi was now hiding in Chengfeng Bank, and the customers coming in and out of the store and the waiters serving water and tea were all members of the action team. people. From the moment Liao Xun stepped through the door, he could no longer escape from the trap set.
Liao Xun slowly opened his eyes and found that he was still sitting in the flower hall where he had just eaten. Judging from the sky outside the door, it was already dark at this time, but he couldn't remember exactly when he fell asleep. . The last clear memory in his mind was that he felt dry after eating braised food, so he took a few sips of the herbal tea with a unique formula that Wan Fa boasted about clearing away heat and removing dryness, and then the fragment appeared.
Liao Xun always considered himself to be very energetic. Even if he didn't sleep for two or three days, he would never fall asleep just sitting like this. This was a rare thing for him. When he was about to stretch out, he found that his arms and body were tied to the chair with ropes. He was suddenly shocked and quickly called to his men.
But it was not his men who responded to him. Wan Fa appeared at the door of the flower hall with that philistine smile on his face, and asked flatteringly: "Master Liao, what are your orders?"
"You...what's going on? Untie me quickly!" Liao Xun knew something was wrong, but he still didn't let go of his official pretensions, hoping to scare Wan Fa.
Unfortunately, Wan Fa was obviously not as weak as he expected. He just smiled and replied: "Master Liao, there is no need to panic. I am just worried that you will lose control of your emotions, so I have temporarily restrained you. I have no intention of harming you." Mr. Liao’s thoughts.”
Liao Xun's heart sank little by little when he saw that no one of his subordinates had appeared for so long. It was obvious that Wan Fa had taken some kind of drug in the meal just now and knocked down all his men. However, he had been a Jin Yiwei for many years and had experienced many dangerous scenes. Although the current situation was extremely passive, he still did not give up hope of escaping. He advised Wan Fa: "Boss Wan, when I said that I wanted to cure Your crime is just an incentive to hope that you can recover from your mistakes. It does not really mean that you will be jailed. If you have any dissatisfaction, let go of the rope first and tell me properly. The official will definitely give you a fair answer.”
Wan Fa laughed and said: "Master Liao, if you had taken me down directly, you wouldn't have been in such trouble now. Now that I have done my job, letting you go doesn't mean letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"
Liao Xun said with a straight face: "Wan Fa, even if you can temporarily trap me with poison, you will definitely not survive tomorrow. If I don't go out from here after dawn, someone will naturally attract reinforcements! Then you will be the one It’s useless to kowtow to my officer and beg for mercy!”
Wan Fa responded: "What Master Liao said is that they are monitoring Cheng Fengxing's people outside? You can rest assured. Since the villain is at ease and wants to keep Master Liao as a guest, he must take good care of him. We can't let them drink the northwest wind outside. Those young brothers have just invited them in and had the same meal as Mr. Liao, and they are resting in the wing now!"
