Chapter 604 How Does Evil Be Rewarded?

Fuzhou City, the provincial capital of Fujian.

To be honest, this prefecture city is far less prosperous than Lin'an.

After all, this place is quite far away from Jiankang, and it can no longer be regarded as the boundary of Jiangnan.

Moreover, the coastal areas of this era do not have as many advantages as the other world. There is not even a shadow of the Shibo Department in Fuzhou Prefecture, and they have not yet enjoyed the dividends of Linhai.

Naturally, the economy is not as good as that of a thousand-year-old city like Lin'an Prefecture.

However, Fuzhou Mansion is the provincial capital after all, and the scale of this provincial capital is really not small. In terms of city size, it is not inferior to Shen Yi's hometown Jiangdu.

A group of 30 people successfully entered Fuzhou Mansion before dark.

They came in a hurry this time, and did not inform the officials of Fuzhou Mansion in advance, so they entered Fuzhou Mansion quietly, and no local officials came to greet them.

There was only a middle-aged man in his 30s, with four or five entourages, who greeted him at the gate of Fuzhou City. After seeing Shen Yi's mount, the middle-aged man silently stepped forward, bowed his head to Shen Yi, cupped his fists and said, "I have seen Si just!"

Duan Chong, the leader of the second team of the Dibao Division.

In the early years, he was arranged by Shen Yi to go to the Guangzhou Mansion, but after the establishment of the Guangzhou Mansion Mansion News Agency, he went to Fuzhou Mansion to establish the Mansion News Agency. Up to now, most of the mansion newspaper business in Fuzhou and Guangxi provinces is done by Duan Chong. in charge.

However, what happened to the second group of Dibaosi is the same as that of the fourth group. Now there are some people in the palace who are slowly trying to take over Fuguang's Dibaosi.

Shen Yi has already entered the city at this moment, leading the horse. After seeing Duan Chong, he smiled at the middle-aged man with a scar on his face, and said, "Brother Duan, we haven't seen each other for a long time. stop?"

"Yes."

Duan Chong bowed his head respectfully and said, "I haven't seen Si Zheng since we parted in Jiankang."

While speaking, Duan Chong had already stepped forward, silently took the rein from Shen Yi's hand, and led the horse for Shen Yi.

Shen Yi didn't refuse either, handed the reins to Duan Chong, and sighed slightly: "I'm in Lin'an Mansion, and I heard from Zheng Hu that you haven't been back to Jiankang for the past two years, and you've been running the mansion's newspaper office all the time. It's really hard work for you."

Shen Yi said softly: "Wait next year, I will fulfill what I promised you guys at the beginning."

At the beginning, Shen Yi divided the Dibao Division into several groups and assigned them to big cities in various places to establish the Dibao Division. Most of the people who were dispatched from the Dibao Division to various places were Jiankang locals.

Although Jiankang is not the nominal capital of the Chen Kingdom, it has actually been the capital for more than 60 years.

Every Jiankang person will not feel that Jiankang is not the capital.

Let these people from the "capital city" be assigned to the localities, and they have some resentment in their hearts, especially Duan Chong, who was directly assigned to Fuguang, and there is inevitably some grievance in his heart.

The reason why these people are willing to work in the local area is mainly because Shen Yi promised these team leaders at the beginning, and after a few years they have completed their errands, they will be given an official status.

Even if it is a ninth-rank official, it is a decent official.

Duan Chong bowed his head respectfully: "Thank you, Si Zheng!"

He looked at Shen Yi, lowered his head slightly and said, "Sizheng, your residence tonight has been arranged for you by my subordinates, and I have also found a restaurant for you to eat. Do you think you should go back to your residence first or go there first?" Have a meal?"

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Let's go back to the residence, and you can skip the meals. After a few days of driving, I really have no interest."

"You ask them to send some meals to my residence."

Duan Chong nodded quickly and said yes.

At this moment, a group of people were walking on the streets of Fuzhou City. Shen Yi glanced around at the scene of Fuzhou City, and then asked Duan Chong: "I have been in Fuguang for the past two years, but are you still used to it?"

"A habit is a habit."

Duan Chong lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "It's just that the humidity is a bit heavy. My subordinate's leg was injured in the early years. When I return to Nantian every year, the feeling is really uncomfortable."

Shen Yi nodded slightly, and asked again: "How is the contact with the Anti-Japanese Army? Can they go to Fuzhou tomorrow?"

"Si Zheng, don't worry, most of the intelligence transmission of the anti-Japanese army is done by our Di Bao Division. At this moment, there are at least [-] people from the Di Bao Division on the road, passing on information all the time. The soldiers and horses of the anti-Japanese army are not far from Fuzhou at this moment, tomorrow at noon..."

"Should be able to reach Fuzhou City."

Shen Yi said "hmm", he wanted to ask some food and other matters, but it was inconvenient to speak on the street at the moment, so he said: "I will tell you the rest after we get to the residence .”

Duan Chong nodded, he walked in front, took Shen Yi and others for a cup of tea in the city, and after passing through several alleys, he brought Shen Yi and others to the gate of a big house. After arriving at the gate of the house, he slightly He bowed his head and said: "Sizheng, this is the place where my subordinate arranged for you. Please check if there is anything you are not satisfied with. If you are not satisfied, my subordinate will take you to an inn for one night today, and I will find another place for you tomorrow." residence."

Shen Yi looked up at the mansion.

It's Sanjin's house.

And it is also three-entry, it seems to be one size larger than those three-entry houses in Jiankang City, and it looks more imposing.

Shen Yi gave a "tsk", and then smiled hoarsely: "It seems that Fuguang's mansion newspaper department has had a good life in the past two years. Brother Duan has spent a lot of money, and arranged such a big house for us."

"Si Zhengmingjian, this house is rented by a rich businessman in Fuzhou to our mansion newspaper. This rich man often advertises in the mansion newspaper, so the lease price is very low."

"My subordinates have rented this house for three years. They originally planned to arrange for some people from the mansion to live in it. It happened that you were coming, so my subordinates asked them to clean it up."

"This house is nice, very nice."

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "It's better than the one I lived in Yueqing before."

While talking, the two entered the house one after the other. When they reached the back garden of the house, Master Shen found a gazebo. After sitting down, he pointed to the opposite stool and motioned for Duan Chong to sit down too.

After Duan Chong was seated, Shen Yi took a look at him, and then asked slowly: "Ling Su should have gotten through with you, and the four families that the gang of Japanese pirates confessed to, have you investigated the four families?"

Duan Chong lowered his head slightly and said: "Back to Sizheng, General Ling has indeed greeted his subordinates, and the Di Baosi also tried to check these four families, but..."

"Nothing was found."

After a pause, Duan Chong continued: "The four families of Ye, Tan, Ji, and Feng are all famous families in Fuzhou. Every family has someone who is an official in the court, and the official position is not small, especially It’s deeply rooted in the local power.”

"General Ling wiped out the Japanese pirates along the coast of Fuzhou. These four families should have received the news. They have all shrunk during this time, and it is difficult to find anything."

Speaking of this, Duan Chong paused, and continued: "Sizheng, General Ling was able to find these four families, so most likely he got the letters between these four families and the Japanese pirates."

"If there is a letter, there should be no need for other evidence. You can go directly to the door to arrest someone."

Master Shen took a deep breath, with a calm expression: "If Jin Shizi from last year was here, he would indeed be able to take people like this."

Having said that, Shen Yi narrowed his eyes, with some murderous look in his eyes.

In fact, he might as well not do such offending things.

But he is very disgusted with these so-called big clans who have already occupied a lot of social resources, but also go to private with Japanese pirates, and even support Japanese pirates!
Therefore, from the perspective of personal feelings, Shen Yi personally wanted to kill them.

After he took a deep breath, he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Okay, Di Baodi should try his best to check the news of these four companies, and if he can have more evidence, he will have more evidence."

Duan Chong bowed his head deeply and said: "This subordinate obeys orders."

After saying this, he stood up and went down to work.

And Shen Yi sat alone under the gazebo, slightly lost in thought.

Tomorrow, Ling Su and others will bring those Japanese prisoners into the city.

he was thinking...

How can I make those big households who know Japanese...

Evil pays off!
