One afternoon in early December 1630 in the Gregorian calendar, the pale yellow sun shone on the white goose pier. After the thieves retreated, the market here returned to its former prosperity. The huā boats that had escaped returned one after another to continue their original livelihood. In winter, it was early in the evening, but at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was already setting in the west. The "old man" on the huā boat, Oi Er and the turtle men are all active on the huā boat, preparing for the evening business.

Scaffolding has been erected on the burned tower, craftsmen are rebuilding the tower that was burned down by rockets, and the Wuyang Post and the Receiving Office are also being rebuilt outside the castle. Pedestrians are weaving, and cars are constantly moving. Last year, the scene of the Australian soldiers coming to the city to kill Xiao Ge has disappeared without a trace. Many people feel that after the arrival of the fashionable NV, the Sixiang of Guangzhou was much calmer than in the past, and the large-scale purge operation of the Yifu B Army on Henan Island and both sides of the Pearl River eliminated a large number of bandits, gangsters and tyrants in the Sixiang.

At the entrance of Mén in Nancheng, a small sedan chair came from the riverside wharf on the side of Wuyangyi, surrounded by more than a dozen servants. Leading the way was a young servant who was light and pretty.

The sedan chair entered the city, and suddenly Yujian Guangdong Patrol pressed the imperial history to sit in a green tweed bright yarn eight sedan chairs, and the deacon was leading, protecting the front and back, coming head-on, shouting all the way. The young servant hurriedly commanded the sedan chair and his attendants to flash to the side of the road and make way for them. Wait for this sedan horse official service to be over.

In the palanquin, a pair of trained eyes watched the passing procession from behind the veil. A servant next to the sedan chair whispered: "This is Gao Shunqin's sedan chair!" ”

After the proud horses of the Guangdong patrol were over, the group continued on the road. After walking through the streets and alleys of the city, Zuihou came to a secluded courtyard. The person in the sedan chair came out, stretched his muscles, and breathed a sigh of relief. I saw a person coming out of the main room in the courtyard, dressed as a Ming businessman, it was Lin Baiguang.

Procedures such as password pairs are no longer necessary. The person who came silently shook hands with Lin Baiguang.

"I guess which detachment leader the executive committee will send, it turns out to be you." Lin Baiguang said, "You're not engaged in public security warfare? ”

"I'm just making an outline of the law and order war, and then putting it into practice. The effect of Easan is still good. The following is the promotion of the whole Qiongzhou. The specific implementation is a matter for the Army. Besides, is there a more suitable person for this mission besides me? "The person who came was tall and strong, it was Xue Ziliang.

"These are your boys?" Lin Qiaoguang was noncommittal about his boasting, and glanced at the entourage who had been lined up in a row, waiting for the order.

Xue Ziliang said: "A total of 8 people were selected, and they were all the most Haode members in the detachment. ”

Lin Baiguang asked Chen Tong, who took them into the city: "Did it go well in the city?" ”

Chen Tong nodded: "It's smooth, and it didn't come in handy to bring the post." He also met the sedan horse of Gao Patrol at the entrance of the city. ”

Lin Baiguang smiled silently. Ordered: "You take these brothers to rest." Let them raise jīng accumulation. ”

At that moment, Chen Tong took the members of the special investigation team to rest. Lin Baiguang took Xue Ziliang to the main house, which was the secret base of the Guangzhou secret service of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, and was furnished like the residence of an ordinary businessman. He manages the full set of teams under the Black Dragon Society system of the Foreign Intelligence Agency.

Lin Baiguang did not invite Xue Ziliang to sit down, but went directly to the back of the wall and opened an inconspicuous little mén. Inside is a long and narrow corridor, and at the end, there is another mén, and inside the lock is a windowless room, pitch black.

Lin Baiguang lit the gas lamp in the house, and the room suddenly lit up. Xue Zi looked around curiously, this room seemed to be very large. In addition to the one they were in, there was a mén that led to the other rooms.

"This is my safe house." Lin Baiguang introduced. As he spoke, he took out the bottle of kvass from the cupboard. "Tell me about this mission."

"Okay." Xue Ziliang said, "The Executive Committee has decided: to completely solve Gao Shunqin. ”

Gao Shunqin was the "Yi faction" in the entire Guangzhou officialdom. "Whether it's the red máo, the franc machine, or the Australians who came out of nowhere, they are all the targets he wants to expel them. Although when the fashionable thieves approached the city, Gao Xunji did not have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy, but he would never compromise on this point and won the applause of many "angry youth" soldiers in Guangzhou. Although Governor Li's secret "reparations and retreat from the enemy" was concealed at the time, it has gradually spread recently. Many scholars forgot all the embarrassment of their own families when the thieves released rockets to attack the city, and they generously criticized Governor Li for "betraying the country for glory". Gao Shunqin went well in the capital because of the last letter requesting that the Francois be banned from entering the city for trade; His confidence has increased greatly, and he is ready to take Li Fengjie and ruthlessly put on an impeachment post.

"Gao Shunqin's position in Guangdong officialdom is very important. His words and deeds affect a large part of the officials. "Lin Baiguang wants to solve Gao Shunqin's problem for more than a day or two. Wang Zunde has died of illness, and is no longer an obstacle to the traverser's control of Guangdong. But Gao Shunqin continued to exist in Guangzhou for one day, and both officials and ordinary people would have concerns when cooperating with Lingao. And a part of the "anti-Yi" elements, not only some scholars, but also industrialists and businessmen who have been damaged by the impact of Lingao's trade, will unite around this banner and form a fairly large-scale anti-Lingao group.

"Decided to kill him?" Lin Baiguang asked, although he is very much in favor of eradicating this obstacle, but he cannot but worry about the consequences. Gao Shunqin is not a small official, he is a Guangdong patrol, and once he is killed, the imperial court will inevitably track him down. For Guangdong, it is tantamount to an officialdom earthquake.

Xue Ziliang sold a pass: "To be exact: let him disappear." ”

"Missing?"

"Yes, the Foreign Intelligence Service discussed it and decided that if he was killed, it would be a big case. It's better to have a disappearance, so that the court can't make a judgment. ”

"You mean kidnapped."

"Yes." Xue Ziliang said, "Bloodless kidnapping. ”

"What's the point?" Lin Qiaoguang was a little disappointed, "The kidnapping is too troublesome!" It's better to kill and destroy the corpse directly. It's the same as missing. ”

"In this city of Guangzhou, it is difficult to completely destroy the corpses and destroy the traces." Xue Ziliang told Lin Baiguang that the special investigation team planned to kidnap Gao Xunjiao directly. Then take him from time to time to face near Guangzhou. Zuihou then took it away from Guangdong.

"Let everyone think that Gao Xun pressed and ran away by himself?"

"Roughly so."

"Damn, that doesn't make sense. He is an official of the imperial court, and unless he is crazy, he will abandon his official position and run out of his family. Lin Yiguang felt incredible, "Weishenme is not poisoned?" Something biologics or something. ”

"It's better to just say that it doesn't make sense. Everyone is talking about it, and if they can't figure out the motive, it has nothing to do with us. Xue Ziliang said, "Using other means, whether it is to make him sick and die, or to be slashed, will cause material discussions, and the spearhead of the canon is likely to be aimed at us." ”

Lin Baiguang felt that this plan was not very satisfying. But Gao Shunqin really can't continue to exist. The members of the Canton group will soon return to Canton, and they have a huge business plan, and the presence of such a hard-line leader of the Canton faction will be a big obstacle.

Don't say it, when the time comes, it will be enough for Pei Lixiu to drink a pot of Pei Lixiu when he mobilizes hundreds of scholars and other figures to surround Ziminglou...... After the First Opium War, Lin Baiguang was quite familiar with the process of the struggle against the entry into the city of Guangzhou and several other port cities.

The ideal disposer should be to transfer Gao Xun to a high level or in parallel. Lin Baiguang thought, the so-called all-encompassing soft xìng treatment. But the Senate did not yet have such influence in the Ming bureaucracy.

"What are you going to do? What support do you want us to provide. ”

"I need Gao Shunqin's rules of activity and the floor plan of the Yamén and his sī house. It is desirable for buildings to have elevations. ”

"It's easy to move regularly. It takes a little time for two copies of the floor plan. ”

"How long?"

"A week." Lin Baiguang said.

"Give me a floor plan of the whole city of Guangzhou, the more detailed the better."

"No problem, I have this thing right now."

He took out a large piece of paper from a locked safe and spread it out on the large conference table in the room. This is a large-scale map of the city of Jiāo.

"It's so detailed." Xue Ziliang was very surprised by the light of the gas lamp.

"No wonder Bei Fei said you all have it here. I don't need to bring it. ”

"Of course, the map of Guangzhou in the big library is also provided by Guangzhou Station." Lin Baiguang said, "Guo Da shopkeeper is not just a big shopkeeper. ”

Xue Ziliang haha smiled: "Who told him to be a "person who has nv people first" and also engaged in N nv people, that gang of elders who can't get used to him is envious, jealous and hateful. ”

Lin Baiguang smiled noncommittally, affirming Guo Yi's labor in his words, but he didn't intend to attack others.

"Have we arrived?"

"Here it is."

The weapons and clothing of the special investigation team were transported separately and mixed with the cargo and brought into the city. Secrets are hidden in secret warehouses of secret services. Xue Ziliang checked it, and the seal on the box was intact, and the weapons and equipment were in good condition.

"If you give me any clothes, jiāo tools and other things you need, I will arrange them all."

Xue Ziliang is very satisfied, when he performs the task, without the cooperation of Liang Haode, it is a disaster, the so-called most afraid of pig-like teammates. There have been many times when special investigation teams have come to the mainland to carry out military reconnaissance and raid missions, but this is the first time they have gone deep into a big city to kidnap VIPs. In his experience on another plane, such an operation without the cooperation of local intelligence agents would be unthinkable. The performance of the Guangzhou secret service under Lin Baiguang's control made him initially satisfied. (To be continued.)
