Chapter 486 - Greater Suspicion
Li Zhi soon had an idea in his heart, and tomorrow he would take Fu Chen to meet Rahman, the leader of the Sada Gang.
Regardless of whether the prestige of the Sada Gang overpowers other gangs, it is just that with his second-level master realm, he is one of the best people in the dock gang, if Gu Liangcai often appears in various docks, how can he not know.
Sun Simiao has been grasping this matter tightly, completely for the sake of Li Zhi.
The Malaysian Shipping Envoy will be set up here, in charge of foreign trade by sea, and tariffs will be levied on ships that come to trade.
And the old man has always felt that there is something wrong with this matter, if that Gu Liang is Li Xiang's family, it will be simple.
Since even the biggest governor of Guangzhou City does not know the ins and outs of his person, there is a big problem here.
This person was also paying attention to the true purpose of Li Zhi's action last night, and when he heard the news early this morning, he wondered if it could be done by the cultivator forces on the island.
Now the more he investigates, the more inseparable he is from the smuggling forces in the port, which further verifies his previous speculation.
But he never dragged the attention back, because he tried to distract the people who were watching.
Now that the form is gradually becoming clearer, Sun Simiao intends to let more people get involved.
This direction of reasoning soon led to a sudden enlightenment of Li Zhi's thinking, he was entangled in various things, and he had not yet considered this matter, but through Sun Simiao's guidance, he quickly realized this.
"It turns out that our direction has deviated, but fortunately, it has only been a day since the unification of the Communist Party, and even if we turn back, it is not too late."
Li Zhi said that the deviation is that almost everyone is looking for it, and the person who hired Fu Chen is from Li Xiang's family.
At present, this possibility is getting lower and lower, which means that this former leader of Guangzhou City may not really control the city, and there are still undercurrents swimming in the shadows.
"This matter is getting closer to my suspicions, and this morning I was wondering if there might be another foreign force secretly involved in the affairs of the port. It turns out that my focus node, the gang forces on the seven docks, seems to be more serious than that! ”
Sun Simiao became serious, with a faint atmosphere of a superior, dignified and strict, pampered and not surprised, as if he could do everything.
Li Zhishen thought so, "This force, since it can make Xiang Yun, who has a military temperament, willing to use it for his own use, even at the expense of dying, without revealing the true origin, is as decisive as being brainwashed, it has already explained the problem, that is, including Li Xiang, are all chess pieces in their hands." After all, Li Xiang was unrivaled in Guangzhou City for a while, and his power was monstrous, and when this force was stationed a few years ago, Li Xiang and his subordinates at that time were at the peak of their prosperity. ”
"If you can treat such characters as pawns, don't you mean that those people will not be simple either?"
Pei Zheng's expression was even more solemn, but he heard his grandfather say that he would transfer himself back to Guangzhou at this time, and he couldn't help but pay more attention.
"What if those people are not simple, they would never have thought that we would find out so quickly that we were suspicious." Li Zhi smiled.
In fact, this is the case, others have never estimated that the text uses such a means to make the detainees compete to reveal the secrets in their hearts. Otherwise, if it is changed to normal cognition, it will not be easy to interrogate more top-secret things, and the more the person being tried confesses, the crime will be greater, and stubbornness will be the only way to survive. Sun Simiao smiled back.
"Yes, those people wouldn't have thought that Mr. Li has a master's soul searching secret technique under the wonderful means, which is much beyond everyone's imagination before, they have the opportunity to be true, but we are better than the surprise." Bei Zheng's words were a heartfelt sigh.
Li Zhi shook his head, "At present, I don't dare to say that the word wins, the biggest advantage is that they can't be allowed to erase all traces in time, maybe that Gu Liangcai is their only loophole." ”
Mi Rui asked, "Does it mean that this person is still in Guangzhou City, and it is related to a certain business that has been carried out at present?" It's not a small matter, can't they just let it go? ”
Li Zhi raised his finger at him, "What Brother Yuan Zhong said is reliable, maybe the incident itself is not of great significance, but it is enough to expose some specific problems. ”
"For example?" Sun Simiao asked quietly.
"For example, in this sea smuggling mission, it doesn't matter if you give up some of your interests, but what if there are people on board who know the secrets of this force? The sea is different from the land, and there is no post station for emergency communication between them! ”
"Text, are you sure that Gu Liangcai is closely related to the smuggling forces?"
"Other possibilities are unlikely, and I don't need to go through Rahman, I can make up my mind, their gang forces also belong to the used side, just like Li Xiang and Xiang Yun, they are all chess pieces. Because the city of Guangzhou is well known, the sea smuggling is dominated by gang forces, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, the gang is just a business agent, and there are two lines between the specific perpetrators and them. ”
"Being able to use several sides as chess pieces, this kind of strategic arrangement is really not simple! But they are already perfectly hidden, why is there such a hole on a desert island offshore? The cultivator forces under Xiang Yun's name are cultivated, and it is not only Li Xiang's side that he knows, but if there is a slightly capable force, it is not difficult to find out! ”
"I see it as a tentative attempt to show off their prowess, but not to set foot on the surface lightly, and to expose their disguise as pirates, in order to show that they are capable of making waves at sea."
What does that mean? Maritime shipping affairs are only related to relevant commerce and trade and some businessmen, and it is not realistic to invade a small country by sea, and even cultivators are only a few hundred! ”
"Ma Ye, what if they are invited or hired by land forces by frequently showing their strength?"
"You mean to take the opportunity to settle in?"
This possibility is extremely high, Li Xiang and his party are ordinary people, and their ubiquitous influence can not allow foreign forces to invade easily. What's more, these powerful people, the cultivators around them are guarding their strength, and their strength is stronger than those people. It was not impossible to enter those gang forces, but it was impossible for Li Xiang's side to allow the existence of gangs with too many cultivators, such as Rahman's Sada Gang, out of a total of 800 people, there were only less than ten cultivators. ”
Does it mean that those people are trying to be bigger? Not just a half-coolie who survives by exploiting passing ships? ”
"It's hard to guess what kind of attempt it is, but one thing is certain, they want to openly send a large number of cultivators in there first, because they know that the power of the Datang cultivation world is powerful and boundless, and it is far more difficult to hide a person with a cultivation aura than ordinary people hiding in the city."
Mi Rui suddenly participated in the exchange between the two, "Since Li Xiang and his family are so carefully guarded, why don't they try their luck at other ports?" ”
Li Zhi smiled and asked him: "Then why did I Datang set up a market envoy in Guangzhou alone, instead of any other position?" ”
Mi Rui's face immediately became nervous, "Text, you discussed with Ma Ye that there is another bigger intention in this, it turns out that it is here?" ”
Sun Simiao stroked his long hair and smiled, "It's still that sentence, it's only speculation at the moment, after all, this matter is too serious, don't jump to conclusions." ”
Li Zhi added, "Otherwise, why does Ma Ye keep calling it an external force, instead of a sea thief or a bandit in the Western Regions?" Just because they are a hidden force, with a complete and exquisite series of layouts behind them, it cannot be ruled out that the vanguard sent by an ambitious country is their primary purpose. ”
"Being able to use a few years to build up a cultivator force that occasionally exercises some sea looting, and always grasps the frequency of the process, is not impatient, and does not blindly expand, this kind of mind is really questionable!" Mirui sighed.
"Therefore, we can only be suspicious, not sure enough, and will not deduce where they came from, otherwise the slightest difference will affect the final direction of the whole incident."
Speaking of which, Li Zhi was already planning to end this exchange because the head of the Pei family had arrived outside, followed by some people that Li Zhi had visited outside the Bei family's compound.
These people come from various medium and large families in Guangzhou City, and the reason why they are not said to be forces is because of their existence, they are all similar to the Bei family, and they are completely built up of family strength.
"This is He Mingzhi, the head of the He family!" Bei Yun introduced Li Zhi, "The person who secretly contacted Fu Chen was mixed in the He family's team last night, and he will explain the details inside!" ”
Li Zhiwei gave the slightest face, and hurriedly listened.
This matter originated from Zhuoshan, the owner of Lu Mingchun, the largest restaurant in Guangzhou City, and that Gu Liang was a frequent visitor there. An elder of the He family also often came and went from there, because they were all engaged in port trade, and after coming and going, Gu Liangcai became familiar with the elder. Yesterday at noon, the two happened to meet in Lu Mingchun, Gu Liangcai seemed to inadvertently mention that he wanted to visit the head of the Bei family, and under the eager words of the owner Zhuo Shan, my family elder took him to the Bei family, and the reason is like this! ”
Li Zhi said with a smile, "The head of the He family doesn't need to explain it so clearly, you can be completely trusted, including the elder of the He family, you don't have any responsibility!" ”
Bei Yun helped on the side, "Because of this matter, the elder has been locked up and confined, and after the He family master learned the specific situation, he immediately rushed to the mansion to explain. ”
"Obviously, this person deliberately planned, maybe before noon, he heard about what happened at Nanba Wharf, and then paid attention to the Assassin's Mansion, and then thought of the future situation, it is logical to take the opportunity to infiltrate the Pei family to investigate, we can't be suspicious because of him." Li Zhi immediately handed He Mingzhi a pill of relief.
"Now that the explanation is clear, the stone in my heart can be regarded as falling to the ground!"
He Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, Li Zhi was not a person who could be provoked by anyone, just an official identity was enough to ruin the He family, and he had to be more careful.
"It's not a big deal, the head of the He family is too worried! What's the matter, come here tonight, so exciting, do you have something to say? ”
In a few words, Li Zhi went straight to the point.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Bei Yun coughed lightly and said: "Mr. Li, after you left this morning, I immediately convened all the families to discuss this matter, and the port management of the seven wharves has been discussed until dark, and finally there is a detailed plan for almsgiving, for fear that this will delay the relevant official governance, and we are in a hurry to come after dinner." ”
Li Zhi thought that they would go to this matter for three or two days, after all, the business opportunities in the seven docks, they were not worried about three or two years.
It is not only foreign trade, but also as many as seven places, which will inevitably involve countless trivial matters, and the fight for every inch of land should be the focus of contention among various families, so Li Zhicai thinks that he will not come up with a specific plan so quickly.
He smiled and said what he thought in his heart, which attracted a smile from the scene, and the atmosphere became harmonious in a blink of an eye.
In fact, Li Zhi also understands that he plays a key role in it, and the Bei family will also intentionally or unintentionally use this relationship frequently, so it is natural to rush this matter so quickly!
