Chapter 654 Information on the Newspaper
It has been less than half a month since Kebo Pavilion opened.The time came to late April, and one afternoon, Zhou Yi hurried through the wooden gate connecting the backyard and the middle courtyard.

Zhou Yi, with sweat all over his head and face, was covered in dust.

He was wearing a bamboo hat, a coarse robe, a cloth bag wrapped around his calf, and a blue cloth bag on his shoulders.This outfit is obviously the appearance of returning from a long trip.

Entering the seemingly deserted backyard, he reached out to take off the bamboo hat to expose his face, Zhou Yi casually glanced at the position of the secret whistle, and nodded slightly.

Immediately afterwards, without stopping, he walked up the steps quickly and knocked on the main door.

The next moment, Nan Wangping's voice came from the house: "Come in".

"Station Master, I'm back."

Seeing that it was Zhou Yi who pushed the door and entered, Nan Wang, who was looking down at the materials behind the desk, was a little surprised: "Oh, this trip to Xinyang has been back and forth for hundreds of miles, and you came back so soon?"

"Things are going well, so I will come back early and report to you in a hurry!"

While speaking, Zhou Yi panted, stretched out his sleeves and wiped his face, and then unloaded the bag on his shoulders at the corner of the door.

"Well, it's been hard work. Don't worry, let's talk about it after drinking some herbal tea." Seeing the dusty appearance of his general, Nan Wang hurriedly got up and poured water with the teapot.

"With a fast horse, it's not considered tired." Zhou Yi was not polite here, and poured down the cup, gulping four cups in one go.

Wiping his mouth, Zhou Yi sat down to catch his breath, and then began to report to work: "Station Master, the stall in Xinyang has been set up. Fang Captain found a place in the county to open a big car shop in the name of a semicolon." , it was opened before I came.”

Nan Wang's expression was calm: "Well, you continue to talk."

"Officially, the county magistrate's family book gave gifts, and Qian Jinshen's mansion also searched for it. Master Qian read the letter, accepted the gift, and wrote a post."

"All of the above, I followed up personally as a buddy."

Hearing this, Nanwang nodded slowly: "Well, it's all what it should be. Officials, gentry, these are always the first to contact. Those who are not familiar with the place, with help, can get along with the rest of the snakes. deal."

Speaking of this, Nan Wang relaxed.He leaned back with a smile, and then said: "How to set up a liaison sub-station in the 'red zone', the General Administration has standard procedures, and you have all received training. I have personally experienced the establishment of the Wuhan headquarters before. do not worry."

Speaking of this, Nan Wang seemed to think of something: "Fang Yanxiao operates that stall, is it okay?"

Zhou Yi laughed when he heard the words: "Station Master, you are worrying too much. Captain Fang has been lurking alone in Xiakou for so long before, which shows his skills. Now that he has the support of people, money and property, going to Xinyang to set up a sub-site is not a big deal."

"Well, I'm relieved when you say that."

"However, the Xinyang Liaison Station is quite important."

Thinking of this, Nanwang stood up, walked around the room with his hands behind his back, and thought: "Xinyang is very important. It is connected to Shangyu in the north, Wuhan in the south, and Anhui in the east. It is the transfer point for our supplies going north."

"The point is, there are many mountains in Xinyang."

Having said this, Nan Wang stopped talking and glanced at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi smiled knowingly, and continued the conversation: "Tongbai Mountain and the rest of Dabie Mountain are in the Xinyang area. Therefore, Xinyang is not only a transfer station for materials, but also a good place for Tibetan soldiers to store grain."

"Well. It seems that you listened carefully to last year's training class."

Nan Wang nodded with satisfaction: "According to the strategic forecast of the General Administration, the Central Plains, especially Henan and other places, will become a key battlefield for the officers and soldiers and the peasant army in the next few years, and almost all cities will be attacked by the peasant army."

"The peasant army came to kill the rich and rob the rich, and the official army came to search for the army's salary and behead people for credit. Therefore, there is no need to go north to refill resources."

When Nan Wang said this, he first sighed, and then pointed to his feet: "Even including the three towns of Wuhan, it is not very safe. You should pay attention, in the future, our personnel and materials must be prepared to be evacuated at any time." , so as not to be treated as a fat sheep by some great king."

"Yes." Zhou Yi nodded solemnly.

"So." Having said that, Nan Wang's face turned serious: "Xinyang, with its complex terrain, is our only forward stop in the direction of Henan in the next stage."

"Fang Yanxiao's point is not only to maintain a good daily operating environment and open up commercial transportation channels; he must also spare energy to investigate the surrounding areas, including material storage points in mountainous areas, escape routes, and even mountain bandits. Clear and lay the groundwork for our next move."

These few words were already an order, Zhou Yi answered with his hands clasped: "Yes, the subordinate will send someone to the room leader to convey it clearly."

Talking about it like this, it took Zhou Yi about an hour to report all the details of this business trip to Xinyang.

As for Nan Wang, he also informed Zhou Yi of the latest situation and handed him two pages of information: During Zhou Yi's business trip these days, a bodyguard agency named "Zhenyuan" had reached a strategic agreement with Keboge. Agreement, responsible for escorting the company's future northward shipments.

Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has a long history and is a native of Hankou.It has been passed down to the fourth generation and belongs to the standard family business.

The ancestor of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau was born in a military household, and Zuo Daguang, the chief escort at that time, was a disciple of Shaolin Outer Sect (Peisheng, a regular committee member). Shaolin Liuhe stick method and family Qi family knife made him superb. The three places in Anhui are also well-known masters of the rivers and lakes.

Zhenyuan Escort has a huge business scale, mainly dealing in red and white groceries in Hubei, Henan, Anhui, flood and drought, as well as escorting family members of officials, merchants and wealth. It has an outstanding reputation and is one of the top three large Escorts in the local area.

After reading the background information of Zhenyuan Escort in his hand, Zhou Yi couldn't help frowning.

Although hiring a local security agency to provide logistics services is an established policy, Zhou Yi, who is used to everything being controlled by his own people, is a little uncomfortable after all: "Many of our goods will be contraband in the future, and the security agency is the most important thing. It is best to open one by yourself." .”

"Who said it wasn't."

Nan Wang Youyou sighed: "Isn't the stall too big?"

Speaking of this, Nan Wang reluctantly raised his fingers: "Look at the head office, the affiliated car dealership, and the Xinyang car dealership. They have only been in Xiakou for a few days, and they have already opened three stalls. How can we open an escort agency if you have the energy? .”

"Let's talk about it." Nan Wang picked up his tea bowl and took a sip: "It's not that easy to travel with darts. There are three mountains and five mountains, ghosts and snakes. We have to pay homage to the wharf. We are newcomers, and this kind of business that depends on familiarity is not available right now."

Although Zhou Yi said that he was unwilling, but he also understood the reasons Nan Wang said, so he had no choice but to give up: "Then I will contact the Zhenyuan Escort tomorrow?"

Given Zhou Yi's current position within the team, which is similar to the position of deputy station master, it is impossible to take on the position of shopkeeper on the surface.

In his position, he needs to participate in various affairs without attracting attention, so Zhou Yi's external status is currently just a "procurement" of a commercial firm, similar to a purchaser.

"No, I'll arrange someone else for the bodyguard. You have more important tasks."

"Is there anything important now, um, important?"

At this moment, the instinct of Zhou Yi's excellent intelligence officer broke out, and he quickly judged the meaning of this word, so he instantly became excited: "Station Master, is there news about that incident?"

"Hehe, you're smart." Nan Wang pointed at him, then stood up and turned around: "Follow me."

Zhou Yi hurriedly followed Nan Wang into the East Wing.

As the current temporary headquarters of Wuhan Station, several houses in the inner courtyard where Nanwang is located store all advanced equipment, weapons and large amounts of cash in the station.

The East Wing is a study and bedroom looking south, and it is also a room for storing confidential documents in the station.

When Zhou Yi opened the bamboo curtain and entered the east wing, the first thing he saw was a large black lacquered desk, half a person's height of bamboo paper piled up.

Zhou Yi knew that these were all residence newspapers.

In ancient times, there was a lack of means of information transmission, and most of the people who wanted to know official information came from the mansion newspaper.

And this also gave birth to the business of "copying the mansion newspaper": whenever a new version of the mansion newspaper came to the yamen, in addition to posting it publicly outside the yamen, someone would specially copy the mansion newspaper to supply it to those in need.

Therefore, Di Bao has actually assumed the function of a newspaper.

Master Nan has been reading and writing in the mansion in his free time since he arrived in Wuhan. In fact, most of them are reading mansion newspapers—Nan Wangzhan has collected all mansion newspapers, official documents, and decrees in the three towns of Wuhan in the past three years. , Memorial.

If you want to take root and make achievements in one place, you can't do without a solid understanding of the actual situation in the local area, especially the chief officer of the intelligence system.

Although the members of Wuhan Station said that they had learned a lot of background information about the three towns of Wuhan before coming here, they were all copied from Baidu by Travelers, and there was no real information in it.

And at this moment, when Zhou Yi received a piece of Dibao transcribed in petty lowercase letters, all the homework Nan Wang had done before was paid back.

This is a mansion newspaper that looks very ordinary at first glance. It was issued four months ago, and the issuing unit is Wuchang Mansion.

There are more than a dozen items on it, most of which are ordinary political affairs.

However, Zhou Yi, who had received training in the subject of system intelligence analysis, immediately saw the information he wanted from the mansion newspaper.

The content of this message is very simple: 4 months ago, Wuchang Mansion captured three traitors and trespassers under Li Zicheng's spies in the territory of Xiaogan.

These three rebel spies are all surnamed Tian, ​​and they are from Suide, Shaanxi.After the standard procedures such as interrogation in court have been completed, the spy has been confirmed by the government and put on death row.

that's all.

Zhou Yi first read the message at a glance, then he read it again carefully, then pinched his chin, and smacked a few key words. Finally, he raised his head and asked a little uncertainly: "Station Master, Is it possible to rob the court?"

Nanwang laughed when he heard the words: "Whether it's a robbery or not, you go find out first, I just wait for the plan to be reported."

"However. According to my opinion." Nan Wang said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's too late to rob the practice field, so you should rob it in a big prison."
