Chapter 61: Direct Clues

The blatant use of public property for rental profit in this army is obviously a serious violation of discipline, but this Wu staff general seems to have no scruples at all, however, Lu Hong has no intention of making this little thing, what he knows, it seems that he has read the history books, and he has also written a big book about Ding Ruchang, the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, renting out a house for profit......

After a short turn, Lu Hong opened his mouth to ask about Guo Baochang and Yuan Jiugao, but he got the news that these two had gone to sea to practice the day before yesterday, and it might take a few days to return to Hong Kong...... didn't expect his plan to go bankrupt before it was implemented, this news was obviously beyond Lu Hong's own expectations, could it be that Yuan Jiugao went to sea to smuggle again?

Wu Ankang was actually quite surprised by Lu Hong's arrival, but this apparent enthusiasm is still necessary, and the two of them naturally had a polite conversation after being invited into the house, and he talked about renting houses in the army before, naturally he was not casually talking, he and Guo Baochang and Yuan Jiugao were actually not without suspicions.

In fact, what he knows is that Guo and Yuan are doing a big deal, and they are just drinking some soup, so he leaks some information intentionally or unintentionally.

And Lu Hong actually didn't know anything about this guy, the situation that Wu Ankang mentioned just now made him interested in continuing to sit down and talk, obviously, the right wing of the Nanyang Navy Division had something to say, and after a few idle words, he naturally immediately turned the topic to the main matter, "General Wu, Lord Qincha Wang is a Qingliu cadre, this time he was ordered by the emperor, naturally he wants to catch big fish, I heard some news, so I specially came to the sailor camp to take a look......"

When Wu Ankang heard this, his heart was also trembling, if they really checked it carefully, who could say that they were innocent, and, in fact, those things that the sailor did were really unknown to outsiders, so he really regarded people as fools, as soon as he heard Lu Hong's words, he immediately thought of several things......

"Lord Lu, what are you here to investigate, if I can help here, I will definitely not shirk it......" Wu Ankang had a grinning expression, his mouth said, but his eyes looked outside the camp gate, "However, there are too many things involved in the sailors, and these soldiers are all rough men, you have to be careful!" ”

Lu Hong was naturally also observing carefully, and there was no panicked expression in this conversation, but those hesitations still made him see the necessity to continue talking, "General Wu, Lord Qincha Wang was ordered by the emperor, and the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, and Lord Wang is also famous for his rewards and punishments, and those who can help him will tell the emperor truthfully!" ”

Speaking of this, Lu Hong deliberately paused, revealing a mysterious expression, "In the past few days, the people below us have all broken their legs, we can get the news, there are some problems on Zhoujiadu's side!" ”

Speaking of Zhou Jiadu, Lu Hong immediately noticed a flash of surprise on Wu Ankang's face, it seems that the news that Rong Qing got is not simple, obviously, it is obviously a good time to strike while the iron is hot, "General Wu, Lord Qincha Wang went to Jiangning Mansion to visit Liu Kunyi Liu three days ago, and that is also because of the importance of the matter!" ”

His words can be said to be a combination of grace and power, and the news is both true and false, but when he heard Wu Ankang's ears, the effect was very different, since Lord Qincha had gone to Jiangning Mansion, in his opinion, this Qincha's big move was close at hand...... Leave time for yourself to think about it, and obviously you have to make some decisions!

He naturally knows a lot about those things in the Nanyang Naval Division, but if they are all poked out, it is certain that he can't keep his position, and it is very possible to lose his head, but now that this Lu Yunju can chat with him slowly, it is obvious that he still has a choice, he immediately made up his mind, and if necessary, he can shake out the ugly things of Yuan Jiugao and Guo Baochang!

He made up his mind, so naturally he still wanted to explore Lu Hong's hole cards, "Lord Lu, what's the problem with Zhou Jiadu?" Our sailor battalion, and General Yuan's relatives have a shop over there, and no one else can catch it! ”

As soon as Lu Hong heard him mention Yuan Jiugao, he immediately fell in love, this Wu Ankang is not a fool, he is obviously in the know, he just tried it, but he didn't expect to really come out with this news, and this one is obviously still bargaining now, he immediately began to increase the weight, "General Wu, there are people in the navy who use warships to do that illegal thing, if you can help Lord Qincha find out this case, you are the first merit!" ”

When Wu Ankang heard this, he naturally knew what Lu Hong was referring to, and after weighing it, he was able to get the opportunity to show his merit to Lord Qincha, and finally let him choose to take the initiative to cooperate......

In the afternoon, when Lu Hong returned to the official residence, Rong Qing and Chen Huan had already returned, but Ouyang Hao had no news, and Rong Qing also confirmed the identities of Li Jingxiang and Hu Danqiu, these two have been in charge of some of their Li family's industries in Shanghai for a long time, and have a close relationship with Sheng Xuanhuai, the boss of the Huai family, and Zhang Yuan's owner Zhang Shuhe also took advantage of Li Jingxiang's connections to catch Sheng Xuanhuai, it is said that Sheng Xuanhuai will celebrate his mother's birthday in Zhang Yuan next month, which shows the close relationship between the two sides!

And Chen Huan inquired about the Zhoujiadu wharf, this wharf is not under the jurisdiction of foreigners, but the real owner is a little unexpected by Lu Hong, but it is now Huang Zuluo of Shanghai Daotai, of course, Huang Zuluo will naturally not operate in his own name, but in the name of He Wusheng, the younger brother of his wife He.

I got those news before, and there is naturally an important reason why naval ships often anchor here, because this place is close to the Jiangnan Machinery Bureau, and the raw materials, coal, guns, and machines that enter and exit the Jiangnan Machinery Bureau are originally from this wharf, but Chen Huan did not hear more about the entrainment of goods by the naval warships at the wharf, but heard some gossip, which was about the transaction between the Machinery Bureau and the naval division...... This made Lu Hong only scratch his head, the matter of the water master entrainment of opium has not been solved yet, how can he have spare time to take care of other things.

Wu Ankang promised to assist in the investigation today, and also admitted frankly that there was indeed a smuggling affair in the army, but this guy obviously also kept a hand, he did not provide clearer clues by name, but said that he would secretly notify Lu Hong when there was news, however, this guy also confirmed that the shopkeeper of Wang's North Goods Store was the brother of Yuan Jiugao's concubine, and Yuan Jiugao did often spend the night at Zhou's anchor!

And when Ouyang Hao came back, it was already late at night, and Lu Hong was very strange that this guy went to find out how the Wang family's North Goods Store tossed until midnight, but this guy actually brought back a big living person from the carriage!
