Chapter 2748 Capital (one hundred and one)

At this moment, Xu Xu was struggling in a temple outside Zhangjiawan Town.

There is an important clue in my hand, but I can't find anything.

As a cold case specialist sent by the Foreign Intelligence Agency, when he led the special investigation team to Tianjin, Leng Ningyun had been rescued.Logically speaking, this is a great thing and saves him a lot of trouble and responsibility.But the instructions that followed made him feel dizzy.

The Foreign Intelligence Agency directly gave him the highest directive from the Senate, asking him to dig out the masterminds behind the Leng Ningyun kidnapping case based on the clues currently found, and reminded him that this time it was probably the person they had been tracking. Shi Weng Group".

The name of the Shi Weng Group is famous among the elders, but despite many years of arrests, no important person has been captured.After arriving in Guangzhou, the originally limited security force was further diluted, and many major cases were solved. Not even a single big shot was caught, and many unsolved cases were accumulated.

Counting on one finger, starting from the "Naoling in Lingao" case, to the subsequent witchcraft case, tax case, counterfeit medicine case... There are traces of Shi Weng Group's involvement behind these cases.

The reason is simply that they do not have much intelligence power in the capital.Although countless clues pointed out that Shi Weng Group was a powerful official in the capital.However, the intelligence work of Leng Ningyun and other Shanhaiwu Road in the capital was limited to collecting public information.Firstly, the awareness of confidentiality in this time and space is very poor, and open intelligence or even gossip is enough to grasp many important situations; secondly, the surveillance of the capital is extremely strict, with Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Shuntianfu, Wucheng Military and Horse Division... various yamen are intertwined, Buildings and beds are built, and spies are everywhere.Collecting secret intelligence can easily lead to trouble and affect normal business activities. The main job of Shanhaiwu Road is revenue; and the Foreign Intelligence Bureau was unable to deploy a second team in the capital. It only deployed a second parallel team after the mainland strategy began. The dedicated intelligence team of Shanhai Five Elements

Such a weak force, coupled with the Shi Weng Group's intelligence work system that transcends time and space, prevented the Foreign Intelligence Agency from obtaining any useful clues in the capital.

Leng Ningyun's case revealed too many useful clues. This is why Jiangshan immediately ordered the organization of capable personnel after seeing the first batch of reports issued by Min Zhanlian's team, and Xu Xu led the team to the capital.

After Xu Xu came to Tianjin, he traveled day and night.Arrived in Zhangjiawan on the first day of the new year.Like Min Zhanlian, he decided to choose this place as his headquarters.

The headquarters is located in Niersi Village, less than ten miles southeast of Zhangjiawan Town.This place is an important channel for water transportation. There is a saying that "when the ship arrives at Zhangjiawan, the rudder is at Lier Temple."The market is quite prosperous.

There is a Taoist temple here called Youmin Temple. It is located in the west of Niersi Village and on the south bank of the canal. It is a Taoist temple. In the temple, a bronze statue of the Golden Flower Virgin is enshrined. It is commonly known as the Niangniang Temple.In the 14th year of Jiajing's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Taoist priest Zhou Congshan asked for a memorial, saying: "Guan for the benefit of the people".

This temple is located on a high ground and covers an area of ​​more than ten acres. It faces south and faces north. In front of the temple is the Grand Canal that transports water.It is a place with good connections in all directions, so this place was designated as the headquarters due to the permission.

Most of these temples and palaces had houses for rent. With the money, everything was easy. They quickly rented a courtyard in the temple, set up a radio station, and started collecting intelligence under the cover of businessmen.

His arrival caused all teams in the capital to upgrade their equipment.Each team is equipped with a small radio station and operator, and has also been strengthened by walkie-talkies, allowing it to remotely control multiple teams to carry out operations at the same time in Zhangjiawan.

Here, Licensing analyzed all the intelligence obtained and came to several basic conclusions

First, the matter was carried out by the Shi Weng Group; second, the purpose of the kidnapping was to force the Senate to negotiate; third, the perpetrators of the kidnapping had other intentions during the implementation process and instead extorted huge sums of money; fourth, Mr. Yang had major problems. suspected of being involved in the case.

Licensing realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Not only did they grasp that the man behind the Shi Weng Group was Wang Yehao, they also discovered important clues about several core personnel in the group.The Taoist priest captured by Min Zhanlian's team has more to discover. When he was eager to save people, Min Zhanlian's team did not interrogate him carefully. Now that he has time, space, and professionals, he can examine all the internal organs of this fake Taoist priest. One is crystal clear.

Although he has the best interrogators in the Political and Security Bureau, he feels that they are only "technical". Although it is fast and convenient to obtain confessions through torture, there are inevitably deviations. Liu Wei chose to explain the problem in the first place, which shows that his Once your defenses have been broken, you can get more information by taking a closer look.

However, Liu Wei was already dying when he was transferred to him, so he could only send the health workers accompanying him to take care of him with good food and drink.Although Liu Zhen's vital parts were not injured, he bled a lot. After the wound was sutured, inflammation developed, and he had a high fever for many days. Even with antibiotic treatment, the strong man was dying after all the efforts.Not to mention interrogation, even answering is very difficult.

Fortunately, there were no more important matters in the capital at this time, and he was not in a hurry.While Liu Wei was recovering from his injuries, Xu Xu began to arrange a plan to eradicate the Shi Weng Group.

Originally they knew nothing about the Shi Weng Group, but now they know the leader of the group.However, it is easy to assassinate Wang Yehao, but he is an official of the imperial court. Once he is killed suddenly, the imperial court will have no reason to investigate. What's more, based on the current situation, Wang is just the financial backer behind the scenes, and there is someone else who is really responsible for executing the command.

This person or this group is not only sophisticated, but also familiar with a lot of knowledge about the old time and space. He has the deepest understanding of the Senate besides the Hale Group.Not only permission, but almost all the elders of powerful organizations believe that there may be people like Hale from the old time and space in this group.

Their primary target is not Wang Yehao, but this "Hale Like".Although the Senate has not issued a specific order, the elders of powerful institutions have tacitly understood it.Xu Xu dispatched three groups of key surveillance personnel. One group focused on controlling Wang Yehao; one group focused on controlling Eunuch Yang and Young Eunuch Yang; and the third group focused on controlling Shopkeeper Shen of Xia Ji Shanxi House.

As for other relevant persons with clues found in the investigation of Leng Ningyun's case, surveillance personnel were also dispatched to follow them day and night to collect intelligence.However, apart from the discovery of some conspiracy to run against Delong, there are currently no useful clues.

"How is Liu Zheng's condition?" he asked the health worker.

"The temperature has dropped this morning, but there should still be a low fever in the afternoon. There is no danger."

"Are you conscious?"

"It's clear, and he asked me if I was a thief."

Xu Yi smiled: "Tell the brothers who are accompanying him to watch him closely to prevent him from committing suicide."

"Restraints were used and a cannon was used on his mouth. He couldn't die."

"Get him some more Qi-boosting medicine, and the food should keep up. Don't be reluctant to spend money." Xu Xu said, "This man is a treasure now."

After the hygienist left, the correspondent sent reports from each team. It was already the third day since Delong opened. The rush was over and the passenger flow returned to normal.

A little trick, it really worked.Permission is not without pride.

Wang Yehao, who was under surveillance, had no important news.He is just like an ordinary bureaucrat in the capital. He goes to the Yamen every day to do things, visit guests, meet people, have banquets... There is no special behavior.He saw a lot of people, and with the limited power of the surveillance team, it was impossible to check everyone's situation.So it's quite difficult.Permit can only focus on monitoring Wang Yehao's important servants, servants and staff.

Even with the focus, the surveillance team was still unable to catch up.An official of Wang Yehao's level has 30 to [-] staff members, some of whom live in his house permanently, and some who live abroad and come to his house once every few days.As for the family servants, apart from the important servants purchased by the housekeeper, there are more than ten servants who work for him all the time.Based on the intelligence collected, the analysis team selected more than a dozen people on the key monitoring list.

Through the surveillance of these people, Xu Xu learned that Wang Yehao was currently sending people to look for Wang Liang and Liu Wei.Including Tongzhou and other places, people were sent there.We also found Liu Zhen's mansion - naturally, only blood stains were found in Liu Zhen's mansion.But this also proves the authenticity of Liu Wei's confession.

It was also discovered from the surveillance that Wang Yehao had frequent contacts with ministers and had many contacts with Wen Tiren's party.It seemed like they were discussing something important.Combined with Liu Wei's confession, it should be for the purpose of "negotiating peace."

Obviously, after Leng Ningyun was rescued, the plan to negotiate a peace with hostages had gone bankrupt, but Wang Yehao did not give up this effort.Still trying to broker peace talks.

"It would be a good thing if he really succeeded." Xu Xu thought, but he didn't know how Wang Yehao could convince the emperor or what specific operations he should perform.

At this juncture when the emperor showed his intention to "suppress Kun", Wang Yehao advocated peace. His overall strategic view should be higher than that of many ministers.

However, when thinking about "Mr. Le" mentioned by Leng Ningyun, Xu Xu increasingly felt that "Mr. Le" was probably Wang Yehao's main adviser, and he was most likely the Hale Like he was looking for.

But this "Mr. Le" is quite mysterious.Because no one in the royal palace's staff and servants ever mentioned anyone with the surname "Le".Obviously, this is a pseudonym.

Although according to Leng Ningyun's dictation, the hand-painted portrait of the Technical Department of the National Police Headquarters is still floating in the sea, there is no trace of this person in all the staff photos taken so far. ,
It seems that Wang Yehao and this person do not have direct contact on weekdays, and most of them communicate through some secret channel.Xu Xu thought, this is a bit like modern intelligence work.This Mr. Le is not simple,
He has directed multiple intelligence collection and special operations in areas under the Ming Dynasty. The level of clandestine activities in the 17th century was very low, and even the secretive gangs and cults were not much better.As long as there is someone to guide you locally, you can easily collect important information.
