Chapter 358: Internal Affairs Division of the Department of Special Intelligence
The celebration feast to celebrate the triumph of the bandits was drunk until 8 p.m.
There were nearly 200 tables set up at a table of ten people, filling a large school yard to the brim; The food is quite coarse, mainly boiled mutton, plus a few large pots of braised sea fish, palm-sized back pot meat and vinegared cabbage; The wine is mare's milk wine purchased from local herdsmen, and the taste is average, but it is better than the quantity.
In addition to the great victory, the wine and meat were openly supplied, and the soldiers who had been crawling and rolling in the mountains for half a month could not bear it, and soon they shouted five and drank six, and made a fuss; A meal of wine starts before the sun goes down and continues until the school yard is full of torches.
As the person in charge of the Special Intelligence Department, Ling Ming naturally sat on the chairman of the very center, and there was a Song Xiance between him and Chu Fan; He had something on his mind, and he was naturally not happy to drink this wine, and after coping with the toasts of many old brothers, he took a small sip and remembered his thoughts, which was quite out of place with the warm atmosphere around him.
Suddenly, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, he was facing Chu Fan's somewhat flushed face, looking at him with a smile.
"Mitsuo, come!"
Before he could react, he heard Chu Fan throw down these words and quietly leave, Ling Ming chuckled in his heartβhe knew that Chu Fan was going to talk to him, so he quickly got up and followed.
The two of them left the campus one after the other, and arrived at the side courtyard where Chu Fan lived, and after entering Chu Fan's office and sitting down, their own maid brought tea.
After sucking up most of the tea like a cow, Chu Fan smiled and said, "Guangfu, it's a coincidence that you came back this time, just in time for Zhongwen and their class teacher...... It's just that I see that you are preoccupied, and I am afraid that this meal will not be eaten. β
"The lord is aware of everything!" Ling Ming bowed slightly and said, "It's true that my subordinates are not thinking about the wine feast...... The subordinate came back this time. It is to send the DPRK a plan for conquest and suppression...... It's menacing and terrifying! After speaking, he took out the sorted information from his arms and gently placed it on the small table in Chu Fan's hand.
"It's a big matter, let's wait until everyone arrives tomorrow to discuss it," Chu Fan casually flipped through the rummag and said, "I'll call you now." I want to discuss something else with you...... The Department of Special Intelligence should not only be external, but also internal! β
Ling Ming felt a burst of excitement in his heart for no reason - as an old Jinyi Guard, of course he knew that the original intention of setting up the Jinyi Guard was to spy on hundreds of officials and monitor the court; And it was only later that the investigation of the enemy's intelligence was slowly developed.
The situation of the Fuliao Army is special, and the threats it has faced since its establishment have all come from the outside, and it is because his special intelligence department has focused all its attention on the enemy - this is not to say that Ling Ming has not considered the matter of spying inside, but unless Chu Fan himself brings up this kind of matter, Ling Ming will not take the initiative to make this suggestion!
Now that Chu Fan had finally thought of this, Ling Ming couldn't help but be surprised - his Special Intelligence Division was about to grow and develop again!
"The reason why I want to be internal is because I met a person two days ago when I was inspecting the primary school." Chu Fan didn't even look at Ling Ming, his fingers tapped Xiao Ji and muttered, "It's the poetry rhyme from Xingtori Mountain Villa!" β¦β¦ If I hadn't seen her, I'd have forgotten that I had arranged for her and the maidservants from Hoshitori Villa to teach in the elementary school...... Looking back now, the Kato family sent these people to me, I'm afraid it's not just a handmaid! β
When Ling Ming heard this, he suddenly thought of the woman in his house, Ah Dou, the carrier pigeon girl was Abe Tadashi's spy, although he had reported to Chu Fan, but he had slept with people and planned to take them as concubines, but he had not yet crossed the Ming Road.
Come to think of it. Ling Ming knelt on the ground with a "poof" and kowtowed to Chu Fan three times. Tell yourself and Ah Dou about those things.
Chu Fan smiled after hearing the "poof" and said, "How big is it, it's worth your surprise...... Come on, I know about this, I'll show you a side courtyard in this mansion tomorrow, and it's serious for you to marry someone back with a good life...... Although it is a concubine room. But you also have to give people some face. β
After speaking, he looked at Ling Mingdao, who admired inexplicably, "By the way, when it comes to this, I still want to ask you, did you have a wife when you were in Seoul?" β
Ling Ming shook his head and said, "My subordinates have been sent to Seoul since they were young. I haven't had time to marry a wife yet. β
Chu Fan couldn't help but sigh lightly, stood up and paced slowly around the room, "In this way, it's time for you to have a family affair...... Not only you, but even Zhongwen, Zhuzi, Uncle Bi, Zhao Hai, and Shen Teng are all single, it's time to solve this problem for them...... You are all brothers who have been with me for so many years, and this marriage must not be sloppy, it must be done in a comparable manner! β
Ling Ming heard what he said sincerely, and his heart was even more moved, and he subconsciously interjected, "Lord, this matter is not in a hurry...... If the gateway is quite similar, there are many high-ranking families on Jeju Island, but now people still regard us as thieves, and they can only bring humiliation on themselves if they come to the door rashly...... We have to wait until the Korean conquest army is cleaned up by us, and the lord is still afraid that those gentry will not rush over? β
As soon as Chu Fan heard it, he understood the meaning behind his words - from ancient times to the present, marriage has been the fastest way to form a political alliance, and if he wants to control Jeju Island solidly, it is indeed a wonderful move to let his subordinates marry the local wealthy families.
The two chatted along the topic for a while, and then returned to the topic.
"Judging from your Ah Dou, most of these maidservants in Hoshitori Mountain Villa also have the eyeliner of the Kato family," Chu Fan frowned slightly, "and these people from Hiroshima, although they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, it is difficult to ensure that there are no Tartar spies in the middle...... The six families are even more mixed, Zheng Zhilong's eyeliner doesn't need to be thought about, there must be! β¦β¦ There are also Japanese spies, and even the Dutch may intervene! β
Speaking of this, Chu Fan sat down again, looked at Ling Ming Zhengse, and said, "Guangfu, no matter where the spy came from, I hope you can find out...... Let's not talk about what to do with it, but we can't be blind and don't even know what these people have done on the island! β¦β¦ You have set up an Internal Affairs Division under the Department of Special Intelligence to take care of this matter...... Is there a suitable candidate? β
Ling Ming hurriedly nodded and said, "The person is ready-made, it is Tu Qiusheng who went to pick me up at the dock today...... The lord must have seen it, the most calm and clever person. β
Chu Fan raised his head and thought about it for a long time, and finally matched the name with the person, and couldn't help but nod and said, "It's really good!" The lad is a talent, that's it! β¦β¦ But don't go back to Seoul, now that the other party's plan is in hand, there's not much point in you staring at it anymore...... Besides, there is still Chu Meng there, by the way, has this kid grown up with you a little? β
Speaking of Chu Meng, Ling Ming couldn't help but swallow a smile, and the next words made Chu Fan's eyes widen. (To be continued.) )
