Dragon Sea Empire

An Xiaosi's eyes widened: "What, you? You, who told you to send people to monitor Li Dan, quickly withdraw the people you sent out,"

"Why, I suspect that Li Dan is going to be unfavorable to the owner, I..."

An Xiaosi stood up and said coldly: "Just because he is Li Dan, he is not an ordinary person, and the people you send out will definitely be discovered by him. He is a brother of the ship owner. It is already a long time for us to monitor his conversations with foreign businessmen." It's too much, if you annoy him by sending people to follow and monitor, where do you put the captain and Miss Li, besides, Li Huayu is Li Huayu, Li Dan is Li Dan, you can't treat him as an enemy without evidence, "

Brother Li Mo also stood up, and said with anger in his eyes: "So what about Miss Li, the ship owner ordered us to monitor all foreigners in Luzon Island. , of course I have the right to monitor,"

In the minds of the company employees who were born in Danmin, Yazhou, their mistress is the gentle Mai Wan'er, the eldest wife Zeng Jing is just a display, Miss Li is a third party involved, brother Li and the Mai family are distantly related, She is a loyal supporter of Mai Wan'er, so naturally she doesn't like Miss Li Li Lihua.

An Xiaosi couldn't help laughing angrily: "I'm also a Catholic, do you want to monitor me too?"

Brother Li Mo said with a smile: "Haha, I never said that I would monitor you. If the captain orders me to do so, I will definitely monitor you happily." I am a special commissioner of the Military Supervision Department, and I am also in charge of internal personnel supervision. I have the right to submit reports to the ship owner and the big boss alone. You have no right to stop me,"

After finishing speaking, Li Moge turned around and went out, completely ignoring An Xiaosi's anger. He is also the position of the Military Intelligence Department and the Military Supervision Department, and he does have the right to monitor Li Dan. Due to the lack of manpower, and Luzon Island is still under guard Under the military control of the military, Luzon's escort military intelligence department is also in charge of the functions of the military supervision department, and is also responsible for the functions of the company's security department, which is indeed a bit confusing.

An Xiaosi slapped the table with his palm, and said angrily to Brother Li Mo's back: "I will also exercise my power, and I will report your behavior to the captain,"

After calming down, An Xiaosi continued to write his report. He thought that he had to write more and more content. He suffered from his lack of vocabulary and was in a state of desperation. Zeng Jingshan came.

"The treasurer is well," An Xiaosi still respected Zeng Jingshan very much, and quickly bowed his hands in salute.

Zeng Jingshan didn't have time to be polite, so he said bluntly: "The Ministry of Security is arresting people on Luzon Island. Do you know about this situation?"

An Xiaosi was taken aback: "What, how is it possible, they..." He suddenly thought of Brother Li Mo's actions, frowned and said, "Could it be Brother Li Mo and the others?"

Zeng Jingshan said impatiently: "You are directly under the jurisdiction of Captain Yin Feng and Yin. I don't know what is going on inside you, but please release my clerk and the director of the Cultural and Education Department of the town guard as soon as possible. I can come to guarantee them,"

An Xiaosi scratched his scalp and said irritably: "Boss, we are life-and-death friends who escaped from Balian together, I don't need to hide it from you: those people in the security department are all under Lin Xiao's subordinates, and I don't care Stop them, anyway, I really don't know the details of the two arrests you mentioned, I just heard from you myself, "

Zeng Jingshan looked at An Xiaosi sharply. Seeing his innocent face, he took a breath, sighed slowly, and said softly: "Help me prepare a boat, I will secretly go back to Taiwan , I have a lot of things to discuss with Ah Feng, "

……

At the beginning of August in the south of Taiwan Island, when the weather was the hottest, a large group of people gathered outside Yin Feng’s house to petition. Surrounded in layers, although the black guards of Yin Feng's personal guards stood outside the gate with live ammunition, they were not very nervous, because most of the petitioners outside were women, children, old and young. Although there were many people, the atmosphere was still peaceful. Kneeling there and begging Yin Feng to meet them, they wanted to express their grievances. Among them were company employees, farmers from Tuntian Manor, and some indigenous people from surrounding areas.

The development of the Chinese company is too fast. Before the capture of Luzon, the company had a unified goal and enemy, but now with the victory of Luzon, the reconciliation with the imperial government, and the reduction of external pressure, the company's original lurking Various contradictions and various conflicts of interest suddenly surfaced.

Some time ago, Yin Feng was busy trying the Spaniards, setting up the Taiwan Inspection Department, receiving officials at all levels in Quanzhou, and busy expanding the Fourth Infantry Regiment. Unknowingly, he suddenly found that the gate of his house had been blocked by petitioners.

He circled around the house, constantly asking himself the captain of the guard, Lin Yue: "Is your brother here yet? Hurry up and send someone to call, call the Han family father and son, shopkeeper Li, and shopkeeper Huang. Hurry up."

He was woken up early in the morning by Li Lihua beside him, reluctantly let go of Li Lihua's soft and warm body, got up from the bed, and immediately heard the noise of the crowd outside.

It's not that Yin Feng didn't want to meet those petitioners, it's just that he didn't understand what happened, so he waited anxiously for Lin Xiao and the senior executives of the company's board of directors.

Only a few senior members of the company's board of directors, the head of the security department, and the head of the pro-guards knew about the secret passage from the company's headquarters to Yin Feng's house. Before long, Han Ping, who was in charge of Taiwan's government affairs, was in charge of Taiwan's farming, agriculture, logistics, Lu Dahai from the Armed Forces Reserve and other affairs, all factories on the island, and Li Yue, the general manager of engineering and construction affairs, and others came to Yin Feng's house one by one, and only Lin Xiaosong came late.

When Lin Xiao was woken up from home, he didn't rush to Yin Feng's house, but asked several security personnel to monitor the situation on the scene, and at the same time sent someone to the Western Suburb Barracks to inform Mai De and Li Xing of the Third Infantry Regiment. People, Yin Feng strictly controls the military power, Lin Xiao has no right to mobilize the army, but he can notify the officers of the guard; at least, the loyalty of the army to Yin Feng is much higher than that of ordinary company employees.

Although Lin Xiao cares about face-saving and sometimes does not handle things carefully, his perseverance in character is far beyond ordinary people. Otherwise, he would not have plotted revenge for several years in a row just to make a little embarrassment. The petition turmoil must involve himself, but he thought he had done nothing wrong, so he rushed to the company's own office calmly, sorted out a lot of documents, and then slowly came to Yin Feng's house through a secret passage.

In the living room of Yin Feng's house, a group of major shareholders of the company gathered. Everyone was looking at Lin Xiao. Yin Feng sighed: "Brother Guangze, did you hear the shouts from the folks outside? They all have relatives who were killed by you." The security department took it away, what the hell is going on, why no one reported it to me, "

Yin Feng has had a general understanding of the big shareholders and executives, and he knows the whole story, "Why are so many people arrested, and these people are imprisoned without trial or conviction? where are you now,"

Han Ping interjected: "Boss owner, oh, Mr. Yin, Brother Lin is doing this for the benefit of the company..." Yin Feng smiled wryly and waved his hand: "I know, if he intends to harm the development of Zhonghua Company, I will won't let him talk here,"

Lin Xiao suddenly knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and said, "Master, the subordinate is incompetent, please punish me."

Yin Feng was angry and funny, and pretended to kick someone: "Looking for death, Guanghui, you are quite good at acting." He stepped forward and dragged Lin Xiao up, and said seriously: "Hurry up and explain the whole story, this kind of thing can't be delayed." , delaying the resolution will lead to more incidents,"

Suddenly, Magaro broke into the lobby and said loudly, "Master Zeng is back."

"What, why did he come back suddenly? Did something happen to Luzon? Come on, let him in,"

Zeng Jingshan came back suddenly because of the problems of the Ministry of Security and the Ministry of Military Intelligence, which made Yin Feng realize the seriousness of the internal conflicts of Zhonghua Company. The problem has not yet exploded into a crisis and must be resolved as soon as possible. He first went out of the door to meet the petitioners .

The people whose family members were arrested for no reason recommended two old men from Quanzhou to deliver the papers to Yin Feng. The representative of the company's employees was a small businessman from Haicheng who followed Yin Feng to escape from Luzon Island. Jointly recommended, the issues they responded to were more complicated; some complained about the arbitrary arrest of people by the Ministry of Security, some complained about land grabbing by Zhuang Ding, a manor in Lu Dahai, some demanded sharing of the company's monopolized and exclusive fur sales rights, and some demanded restrictions on Han people Immigrants robbed indigenous women. At this time, many of the Han bachelors who came to work in Taiwan, many people couldn't hold back their anger and married with indigenous women, and there were also incidents of chaos and abandonment.

Yin Feng promised that he would carefully study and verify their grievances, and if it was true, he would vindicate and uphold justice. The turmoil continued until the afternoon, when this group of talents dispersed one after another.

When he returned to the hall, Lin Xiao said in a loud voice: "Boss owner, these people can't come here at the same time, there must be someone behind the scenes, secretly instigating them to come together to make trouble, I'll go check their leader right away..."

Yin Feng raised his hand to stop him, frowned and said: "We'll talk about this later, the most urgent thing is to sort out those cases; those people deserved what they deserved, and those people were wronged. The functions of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Military Supervision must be clearly separated. Internal and external investigation and supervision cannot be managed by one person.

Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Yin Feng didn't blame his head of the security department for taking too much care of himself. Most of the things outside are caused by Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao himself is reliable and has no dissatisfaction.

Lin Xiao bowed his head and said: "Yes, it is true that I did not handle things properly, but it is also what happened." He handed over a stack of documents to Yin Feng: "This is the report of the Ministry of Security in recent months, and some of them are suspicious. It was only discovered that the assassination case at the beginning of the year, the officers and soldiers came to attack Penghu so quickly, and the recent riots in various places by the locals, all of which were involved in the case by our company's internal staff."

Holding the document in his hands, Yin Feng sat down on his seat and looked at it without saying a word.

Looking at the report, Yin Feng couldn't help admiring the traditional political and cultural spirit that Lin Xiao inherited. Lin Xiao is a child of a military household, received ten years of traditional education in the school of the guard, and worked for many years in the intriguing state government office. Although the yamen servant is kind by nature, he has been deeply influenced by the official culture at that time. In this former yamen servant's view, anyone who disagrees with the company's big boss is an enemy, and anyone who disagrees is an enemy. Lin Xiao's logic in doing things is very The simple logic of one or the other, black and white, is probably a common problem of traditional political culture. In the Ming Dynasty, those politicians from the Donglin Party, the Fushe Party, and the Eunuch Party basically adhered to this kind of logic. What followed was the style of "if the enemy opposes, we must agree", and vice versa. In the end, it was extremely difficult to accomplish anything in the court, and all kinds of party disputes raged, until the eve of the collapse of the Nanming small court. However, a group of courtiers still insisted on engaging in party struggles of "gentlemen and villains", and finally made trouble until everyone died together.

"Lin Xiao, this sailor is just saying that I have married a few more wives, let it go..." Yin Feng threw a document to Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao looked at it, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, I will file the document tomorrow." Let people go,"

"Guangshi, what is this, isn't it just talking about the company in the hotel, the teacher should also let go."

"Captain, this guy said we are all traitors..."

Yin Feng sneered and said: "So what, what he said a few months ago was indeed correct, but now we are all officials of the imperial court, and I am also applying for your title of Hundred Households,... oh, look Look, let’s let this one go too,..."

Lin Xiao took the document, looked at it, and said with a wry smile: "This person is a blacksmith from Fuzhou. He openly opposes your improvement of the iron furnace and the establishment of a technical school to teach iron technology. He said that he would violate the rules of his ancestors..."

"Let's let it go, send him back to his hometown, he is willing to guard his small shop and earn a few pennies a day to live, that's his voluntary choice,"

Yin Feng stood up, threw a bunch of documents on the table and said, "Where is your prison of the Ministry of Security? I haven't even been there yet."

Lin Xiao said rather embarrassingly: "Boss owner, this, this, you don't need to go."

Yin Feng patted the table and said firmly: "No, I must go,"

On the second day, Yin Feng was led by Lin Xiao to a river beach on the edge of Huwei Longshe on the west side of Huanggang. Between the river beach and the forest, there was a garrison barracks of the Chinese company. The Ministry of Temporary Prison is located in this remote military camp.

Hundreds of people were detained here, most of them were collectively detained in a large warehouse, and a small number of female suspects were detained in several huts.

After a night of thinking, Yin Feng felt that he could not get away from letting Lin Xiao and others wantonly attack dissidents, so the initial annoyance was gradually replaced by frustration. He saw that the entire warehouse was sitting on the ground, looking haggard, People with pale faces, some huddled motionless in the corner, the whole warehouse was stuffy and hot, the wet floor was filled with feces and urine, and the smell was overwhelming.

Yin Feng scanned the surroundings sternly, and Lin Xiao retreated uncomfortably behind Zeng Jingshan, Lu Dahai, Han Ping, Han Jing, Li Yue and others.

"Did you already know what's going on here?" Yin Feng asked coldly.

Everyone looked at each other, no one said anything, and after a while, Zeng Jingshan stood up and said: "We used to think that doing this was to prevent the erroneous progress, but now it has made all the employees of the company panic, and everyone below has complaints... oh, this……"

Yin Feng shook his head and sighed: "Jingshan, Guanghui, let all these people be released, except those who have been found to have actually endangered the company secretly, and those who are doing hard labor in mines and farms. Check it all out again."

Suddenly, in the hut at the other end, a shrill female voice shouted: "You are wronged, help me!"

Yin Feng's face changed, and he walked towards the direction of the voice.
