Chapter 11068: Chen Ming's loyal servant
The city of Nanjing is very large and wide, but after one or two million people are crammed into the area no matter how big and vast it is, the land of Nanjing has also begun to become expensive.
Many companies and firms that settled in Nanjing in the early years made a lot of money from selling land.
Isn't it necessary to put the warehouse and the warehouse in the city? This is completely unnecessary.
If you sell the land in the city, you only need to sell a quarter of the price, or even less than a fifth, to buy a good piece of residential land outside the city. Many powerful big merchants didn't care about this profit at the beginning, but with the further development of Nanjing's cityscape, even if those big merchants didn't care about profits, they couldn't bear to watch the silver lose in vain.
Besides, there is a warehouse or warehouse with a large area in the commercial area where every inch of land is valuable, which is not good-looking, and it will be scolded as a fool.
On this day, Ushne and two of his men rode in a carriage across the city of Nanjing, got off the bus near the Xiaguan Wharf in the north of the city, walked another two or three miles, and stopped in front of a Baishan trading house on the side of the road.
The door of this Baishan Commercial Bank is not large, similar to other small shops, it is also the front store and the back stack, the space in the store is small, and the ten or so people standing on it are afraid that they will not be able to turn around. However, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. The face of the store is not big, but the store has a wide variety of products: from large steam spinning machines to small paper, pen and ink; Precious ginseng and deer antler velvet, high-grade porcelain, cheap straw hats, bamboo baskets, iron needles and fine threads, as well as raw silk cotton cloth, lacquer medicines, there are fifty or sixty kinds of writing on the tooth card, and the half-human high tooth card is full of writing.
This is the store in Jiangnan, this is the store in Nanjing. Xiaguan Wharf is a prosperous place in Nanjing, and the shops here are like this, a small shop, three or five employees, and the annual trade volume is easily more than one million, and the signboard is also very atmospheric.
"White Mountain Firm?" The man next to him looked up, glanced at the black and yellow sign, and pronounced the name of the shop.
Ushna sighed, this is it. If things are not bad, the goods are already empty.
How could the British pin their hopes for guns on outsiders like monkeys for the major events they were preparing for, it was just a trick, and the real arms were in this Baishan trading house.
Urshne nodded, and walked into the White Mountain Trading House, and the two people beside him looked into the street for a moment, and hurriedly followed.
Business in the store is light, only one customer is buying whale oil, a guy is standing at the counter with a tin spoon to scoop oil from the tin bucket for him, behind the counter stands a shopkeeper, is fiddling with an abacus, glasses on the bridge of his nose, from time to time pick up a brush and hook on the open account book, looking very engaged, when Ushne walked into the store, he did not look up to say hello.
However, the guy reacted quickly, and when he saw the Ushne entering the store, he hurriedly stopped and said hello.
"What do you want to buy, gentleman? We have everything in our store......
Urshne glanced at the guy and hesitated for a moment, mainly the customer, and when the two of them also walked into the store, he said, "Dare to ask the shopkeeper, do you have any skins from 'Black Water' here to sell?" ”
"What skin?"
The shopkeeper was stunned, he had been working in a merchant store for four or five years, and he had never heard of the name of Blackwater. Is it a newly established leather goods company? The capital of Baishan Commercial Bank is not large, and the business is not good or bad, and the shopkeeper has been in the store for two years, and he dares to swear that he has never dealt with a merchant with the name of Heishui.
But even if he hadn't heard the word blackwater, the guy wouldn't push the customer to another place, and he had encountered a lot of such things. There is no black water, there is white water, green water, and yellow water, it's all leather anyway. didn't reply that he didn't know what the black water was, so he greeted the shopkeeper first, and then smiled at the wolf.
The shopkeeper's eyelids rolled, and the usual cloudy eyes flashed with a sharp edge, and his eyes swept over the head of the Ushne, from top to bottom, and finally stared at the waist of Ushne.
"I've heard of the name Blackwater, and its skin isn't a first-class product, so why don't you take a look at the goods in our store first? Authentic Xianbei goods, take a look inside. ”
In the leather industry, what is now referred to as Xianbei refers to the original Siberia. The skins produced there are of the best quality, so counterfeits are inevitable on the market.
Of course, this sentence is actually a code.
The shopkeeper and the Ushner both knew it, and each received a notice, one was waiting for the other party to pick up the goods, and the other was going to pick up the goods.
In addition to the code on his mouth, the token is the ornament hanging around the waist of the Ushne. Today, Ush Ne deliberately put on a Han costume and hung a carved mother of Qianlong Tongbao around his waist.
This is no longer a taboo in today's Chen Han.
Qianlong Yintong 'Qianlong', the meaning is very good, his Tongbao carving mother in the 21st century of the original time and space are very popular with the market and collectors, in the current era, Qianlong Tongbao carving mother, mother money, tooth sample, sample money, furnace money, etc. are also very popular.
Chen Han didn't care.
Chen Ming felt that there was no need for that, and he believed that there were no more people in the whole of China who still had Manchu in mind.
At the same time, he believes that this is also a manifestation of grace.
If the government ordered the confiscation of Qianlong's Tongbao money, it would be too embarrassing. It's a seriously unconfident experience!
It's just that the Qianlong era is not far away, and Chen Han has not been as war-torn as modern China. And what Ushne brought today is a large sample of the carved mother, ivory texture, and I dare not say that I have more on the market, 5,000 yuan is not high, and 10,000 yuan is sold when I like it.
Chen Han has been established for 40 years.
When the Red Dynasty was founded forty years ago, the reform was a foregone conclusion.
In the 40 years of Chen Han, it is impossible to say that the country and the people are safe, but it is necessary to strengthen the country and enrich the people. Like this kind of carving mother, each has its own owner for a long time, and few people will get it on the market. This also proves the identity of the Ushner in the eyes of outsiders in a certain way.
The shopkeeper then said to the shopkeeper: "Li Jian, you hurry up and settle the bill for this guest, you can't let someone wait for you with an oil drum." ”
The shopkeeper answered, and went to settle the bill for the whale oil buyer.
The shopkeeper closed the account book, walked out of the counter, stood still in front of the Ushne, looked at the Ushne and the others a few times, and asked in a low voice, "This gentleman is from the north with an accent?" ”
"No, we're coming from the west." Ushne was also looking at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked to be fifty or sixty years old, but he knew that the age of the deputy leader of the intelligence group was only forty-five years old, and the deputy leader of this codename Guishu was not a banner man, but his family of forty or fifty people was boiled by Chen Han, so he was definitely a comrade worthy of being believed. When the shopkeeper's house was destroyed, he was just a full moon, wrapped in a package by a servant, and luckily escaped from life, and he survived.
However, the person who is only forty-five years old in the data is now as old as fifty or sixty years old, which shows that he has not lived happily in these years.
Although he was a man who led the soldiers, his face was white and he spoke in a sven manner, and if he had changed into an official uniform, he would have looked more like a scholar who had read poetry and books.
"Oh? From the west? How many of them came from the west? It's cold enough in the west, and there's a war going on in the sky. ”
The shopkeeper asked as he made a gesture to lead a few people to the back room of the store.
In the room, the shopkeeper and the Ushner clasped their hands tightly, and the code was already matched.
This small business bank has been operating here in Xiaguan for 12 or 3 years, and it is very deep and stable, even Guoan has no suspicion of this small business bank. The shopkeeper has been dormant for so many years, suppressing the hatred in his heart, and he has lived peacefully. This is the first time that the 'energy' of the trading house has been fully exercised, and it is not easy to send a small batch of arms into Nanjing at this juncture.
The shopkeeper and Baishan Commercial Bank have been safe and stable for more than ten years, in addition to being cautious, it is not the reason why he does not move much. And now that the business has taken action, there are more and more clues left by the business house, and it is difficult to ensure that it will not be smelled by the national security.
Of course, people don't know about these things, but the shopkeeper may not be afraid.
For him, death is not the most terrible thing; Revenge is probably the most important thing. Who let him be annihilated in hatred from the moment he can remember?
……
Zhou Tiancai hasn't had a good rest for N consecutive nights these days. At this critical moment, the police department has been busy all over the place.
Although Chen Ming didn't put any pressure on him after this information was handed over, how could Zhou Tiancai really have no pressure?
Seeing that in December, the lice in the city have still not been caught, if there is really a big news on the first day of the first lunar month, Zhou Tiancai will inevitably be reprimanded, but this is not Zhou Tiancai's first concern.
Zhou Tiancai's real concern was that if there was big news that day, it would be to plaster Chen Ming's face.
For an emperor like Chen Ming, how could there not be a few people under his hands? Zhou Tiancai is one of them. That's hardcore.
At this time, his first consideration was how to make Chen Ming's farewell ceremony perfect, if he let His Majesty the Emperor's Zen make the ceremony a mess, he Zhou Tiancai would die and could not atone for his sins. This will also make Chen Ming's life resume have a scar and an extra flaw.
Zhou Tiancai had a hunch in his heart, if he didn't catch lice, something was really going to happen on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he definitely didn't want to see Chen Ming's glorious and mighty image unsatisfactory and unhappy.
"Your Excellency." Liu Chengshan, head of the Nanjing City Public Security Management Office, walked into Zhou Tiancai's office.
As one of the deputy ministers of the Ministry of Police and the leader of the Beijing Public Security Management Office that was temporarily established this time, Liu Chengshan relied on his reputation for handling cases for many years.
Liu Chengshan, who was born in the boy boy camp, once graduated with the first place in the spring and autumn boy boy camp, and the speed of his promotion on the battlefield was comparable to that of a rocket. But even if he was missing three fingers, after Liu Chengshan transferred to the police world, he smoothly became the director of the Qinhuai Branch of the Nanjing Police Bureau at the age of 26.
By now, Liu Chengshan has long since left the local police system, starting from the serious crime team directly under the police department, and gradually moving to the position of deputy minister.
Although the power of the national security system is also very large, the state violence organ on the surface is the police, and there are many special police in the capital, both in terms of number and coverage, completely crushing the national security hiding in the shadows.
Therefore, the heads of the previous Beijing Public Security Management Office have come from the police circle, not the intelligence system. This is something that even the current Home Secretary Koshida cannot deny.
"Target D has all been cleared. The main perpetrators of Target C have been concealed and can be eliminated at any time. ”
The time has come to December, and the Beijing Public Security Administration Office has successively arrested many saboteurs in the past time, and the level of these is high and low, and the difficulty of arresting is strong and weak, and the reasons are also different. Some are historical legacies, some are independence elements from Annam, Burma, and even North Korea, and the sabotage they have prepared has been several, but so far no organization has been found to have targeted the assassination of Emperor Chen.
Liu Chengshan didn't need to worry about them, because they had already been arrested and put in prison. What really worries him is the ones who don't get caught.
As of today, according to the information that the Public Security Administration has obtained, there are still four groups of enemies. Of these four enemies, one is from the northwest and has something to do with the Heavenly Sect; One is pure mercenaries, they are paid to do things, and they don't even know who the employer is; Another group is from Russia, which is called No. B within the Public Security Administration, which is considered the second organization, and many clues have been grasped by the Public Security Department. The last remaining No. A, which is the biggest enemy of the Public Security Administration, found its traces in November, and there are very few of them under control so far.
"Please rest assured, my lordship, I will arrest him as soon as possible." reported the information to Zhou Tiancai, although Liu Chengshan had a headache for the No. A criminal organization in his heart, and he couldn't take the No. B criminal organization lightly, he still asked his immediate boss to pack tickets.
After coming out of the yamen of the police department, Liu Chengshan's whole person was going to be bad. Although he played a package ticket in front of Zhou Tiancai, he really didn't have a score in his heart. The group of Russians still left some traces, because the leader was Russian, not the face of the East, which made a deeper impression. But what about Organization A? According to the analysis of those few pieces of news, they are all faces of the East.
The only clue is Jing Pian, and some of the people in that group speak an authentic Yanjing dialect. Based on this, the people in the Public Security Administration also deduced that those people were likely the remnants of the Eight Banners.
But no matter how crippled those scum of the Eight Banners are, there is nothing they can do if they can't be caught?
Seriously, the other party is really too careful. Liu Chengshan even deliberately relaxed the checkpoint check a while ago, hoping that the other party would take action, but so far he has not received any useful information.
Liu Chengshan didn't think about letting Xian, because he was confident that he was the first-rate existence in the entire police system to handle and investigate cases, and he couldn't do it, and neither could anyone else.
Therefore, he must overcome this huge difficulty in front of him.
"Let's go." Liu Chengshan put on his hat and whispered. The two followers on the left and right immediately followed.
"My lord, where are you going now?"
"Go back to management." Liu Chengshan said as expected.
came to see Zhou Tiancai once and made a promise, which is tantamount to adding a tight hoop to himself, and Liu Chengshan is also forcing himself. He is a person from the boy camp, so there is no need to say more about what kind of status Chen Ming has in his heart. If Chen Ming's Zen ceremony is a ceremony, Chen Ming's farewell ceremony will have a basket, so that he will not have the face to be this official.
The influence of officialdom and the consideration of official position, Liu Chengshan never thought about it.
In other words, in today's Chen Han court, Chen Ming's loyal ministers are really many.
