After Jin Jiuling left with the people in the patrol room, Xiao Zhenlei went upstairs and made a phone call to Wang Yaqiao, asking Wang Yaqiao to send someone to investigate the details of Jin Jiuling, he thought that it would be great if he could turn Jin Jiuling into his inner line in the patrol room in the public concession, with Jin Jiuling's position, he basically knew all the actions of the patrol room, as long as this person was in the patrol room of the public concession to report to him at any time, then he would not be afraid of all the actions that the public concession might target him, even if the patrol room secretly organized people to take sudden action against him, as long as Jin Jiuling delivers the news in time, he will have enough time to deal with it.

Lighting a cigarette, Xiao Zhenlei walked to the window and stood silently smoking, he already felt that due to the first two major actions, both the Qing court and the French Concession began to suspect his Zhenhua Company, as long as there is action, it is impossible to completely eliminate the traces, the secret agents of the Qing court and the patrol of the French Concession are not dry meals, they will naturally follow these traces, but fortunately there is no evidence in the Qing Court and the French Concession now, otherwise the Qing Court would have taken measures against his Zhenhua Company, The French Concession would have already issued a notice to the Public Concession Ministry of Industry to coordinate the investigation of Xiao Zhenlei.

The first two operations were big moves, of course, not something that could be done by one person, so there were a lot of people who committed the crime, and the Qing court and the French Concession patrol house were not sure that Xiao Zhenlei had instigated it, they just suspected that this matter had nothing to do with Zhenhua Company, and they had no evidence to prove it. If you act rashly, Xiao Zhenlei can push two six five. Or simply find a substitute for the dead, and so on. For them, it is equivalent to startling the snake, Xiao Zhenlei will definitely be more careful in the future, or simply lie dormant, then it will be more difficult for them to catch his handle, in this case, simply continue to investigate secretly for the time being, and wait until it is not too late to get the evidence that is nine out of ten before doing it, this is the plan of the Qing court and the French Concession patrol house. They have been secretly united, and both sides have sent capable officers to investigate the dock bombing, the robbery of the law field, and the shooting and arrest in the French Concession.

Today, the patrol and squatting point of the French Concession was found diagonally opposite the mansion, which made Xiao Zhenlei feel that there was a trend of wind and rain coming, it seems that the Qing court and the French Concession may have found clues, otherwise after the robbery case, why did the secret agents arranged by the Qing court on the opposite side not withdraw?

Wang Yaqiao has already sent people to infiltrate the patrol house in the public concession, which is just an ordinary patrol, but it is still very easy to investigate Jin Jiuling's situation, and Jin Jiuling's reputation in the patrol house in the public concession is not small. With a little inquiry, it's easy to get relevant news.

Wang Yaqiao called in the afternoon, and after Xiao Zhenlei received the call, he heard Wang Yaqiao say on the phone: "Although Jin Jiuling is a Chinese detective, his salary is not high, and the salary of a Chinese patrol and detective is much lower than that of a Western patrol." In addition, the Ministry of Industry of the Public Concession has a relatively strict supervision of patrol houses, especially the supervision of Chinese patrol arrests, so Jin Jiuling has very little other income. He couldn't afford to buy a better house in the public concession, so he had to rent an apartment in the North District. And he also took his wife over a few years ago, and it is said that his wife has been sick recently. He has been taking medicine, it is said that he is very filial, although he goes out to spend all day after work every day, but he has never had the habit of spending the night outside, and he goes back every day to talk to his wife, and he also specially hired a maid to take care of his wife in life."

Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette and listened to Wang Yaqiao talk about Jin Jiuling's situation, he found that it was still very possible to make Jin Jiuling obey, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said to the microphone: "I want to develop Jin Jiuling into an inside line for us to patrol the high-rise of the house in the public concession, so that we can get the news much faster, what do you think?" ”

"According to Jin Jiuling's situation, it shouldn't be difficult to develop him into our inside line, if you have already decided, I will start working on it immediately!"

Xiao Zhenlei immediately said: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you, give me a call after the matter is done!" ”

"Understood!"

??????

A courtyard in the county.

When Xiao Zhenlei killed two Qing court spies who were monitoring Xiao's mansion with the help of the Concession Patrol House, this touched the nerves of Enahai, and when Enahai listened to the report of his secret agent Bingyi, he was furious: "What? Xiao Zhenlei actually asked the Public Concession Patrol House to send someone to kill Bingsan and Bingjiu? ”

Spy C nodded and said: "Yes, my lord, I was about to go over there to listen to their report, but I didn't expect to meet the brigade of the patrol house in the concession, and then I saw them carrying two corpses down, I deliberately approached to see, it was indeed Bingsan and Bingjiu, and then I inquired nearby to find out that the people in the patrol room blocked them in the room, and there was an exchange of fire between the two sides, and the other party was also killed by an Indian patrol, I speculated that Xiao Zhenlei should have found out that he was being monitored, so he called the patrol room, And I also saw that Inspector Ren Wenjiao and his two subordinates in the French Concession were also taken away! ”

"It's hateful, it's hateful, the surname Xiao is so insidious, he actually thought of using the hand of the patrol house in the public concession to kill my person!" At this time, Enahai's face was full of cruelty, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, surnamed Xiao, although the official does not have your evidence, it is easy for the official to kill you, since you killed my person by the hand of the patrol room, then the official will not tell you any rules!" Someone, go and inform Yao Shiqing, and ask him to gather people and go to Baoshan with his own officials to arrest Xiao Zhenlei and destroy the rebellious den of Zhenhua Company! ”

"Wait!" Bingyi stopped the herald who had just come in, and said to Enahai: "My lord, I think this is inappropriate, we don't know if Xiao Zhenlei is in Zhenhua Company for the time being, if he is not there, we can destroy the Zhenhua Company's rebellious den, but Xiao Zhenlei will definitely flee after getting the news and run away from him, what we have done during this time is equivalent to doing it in vain, and Yao Shiqing's third patrol battalion is subordinate to Daotai Mansion, and he went out of the defense area to enter Baoshan without an order, this is to be killed, Yao Shiqing is not a fool." He didn't have the courage to move troops to other defense areas without authorization. My lord, if you want to go to Baoshan to arrest the revolutionary and rebellious party, you have to say hello to the Baoshan County Commander first, and we can completely rely on the power of the Baoshan County Ya. I believe that as long as you pass, the Baoshan County Decree will not fail to cooperate with you, and he will not dare to disobey your will even if he has a small county decree! ”

En Nahai thought about Bingyi's words and was not unreasonable, just now he ordered Yao Shiqing to gather people to go to Baoshan Zhenhua Company to arrest Xiao Zhenlei and destroy Zhenhua Company's order, which was still too hasty.

"Well, what you said makes some sense, then don't use Yao Shiqing's third patrol battalion, let's go to Baoshan County Yahui to meet the Nage County Order now, you go and pick twenty people, and prepare the horses." Don't tell Yao Shiqing where we went, although this Yao Shiqing has been temporarily subdued by me, his nature is difficult to change, and I don't know if he can leak our whereabouts."

When C heard this, he immediately shook his sleeves, supported the ground with one hand, knelt down on one knee and agreed: "Wow! ”

Enahai took more than 20 musketeers to ride around the concession and quickly rushed to Baoshan, and he also made a special detour to observe near Zhenhua Company, and then took his men to Baoshan County to meet Ge County Order.

At the gate of the county ya, Ena Hailema stopped, and as soon as he jumped off the warhorse, he saw a soldier standing guard at the gate of the county ya, running over and kneeling down and saying, "See your lordship." I don't know adults??????? ”

Enahai didn't speak, and Bingyi shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, immediately sue your county order, and say that Lord Enahai from the capital is here." Let him hurry out to meet him! ”

"Yes, my lord, and the little one will report it immediately. Wait a minute, adults! After speaking, the soldier got up and ran into the county office.

But it was said that Ge County Ling was lying in the shade of a tree in the back garden of the county office, drinking iced herbal tea. While listening to the little song sung by my aunt's wife, I was not happy.

I listen to it with pleasure. A soldier ran in and knelt down and said, "My lord, there are twenty musketeers from outside the county government, and the leader is a big official, who claims to be the Lord of Onahai from the capital, so you can hurry up and greet you outside the county office!" ”

"Lord Onahai?" Ge Xianling was originally very unhappy, this guy disturbed him to listen to the music, and he didn't react at first, but he instantly remembered that when he went to Songjiang Mansion to meet the prefect a few days ago, he heard the prefect mention that the official who came down from Nanjing to track down the revolutionary party and the missing arms case had arrived, and his name was Orohai, and he heard that he still came down from the capital.

Thinking of this, Ge Xian Ling couldn't sit still, and immediately shouted to the maid standing next to him: "Quickly bring over the official's official uniform, official shoes, jade belts and official hats, and notify all the officials working in the county government to gather in the inner hall."

"Yes, sir!"

Ge County ordered to clean up, asked the maid to dress herself neatly, and hurriedly walked out of the gate of the county government with a cadre of officials who worked in the county government to greet her.

"Baoshan County ordered Ge Shihong to lead the officials of the county to see Lord Enahai, the adults have been tired all the way, please rest in the county office!"

After carrying it on his back, he walked to Ge County Commander who was kneeling on the ground and personally helped Ge County Commander and said with a smile: "Ge County Order, please get up, this official is in a hurry, and he has caused trouble to your place!" ”

Although Enahai is ruthless and vicious for officials, and he has never been soft in dealing with the revolutionary party, he will also win the hearts of the people, especially after coming down from the capital, it is impossible to get things done without the cooperation of the magistrates, and he knows this very well.

Ge Shihong hurriedly said: "Where do you say it, it is a great honor for you to come to Baoshan, my lord, please!" ”

"Well, good!" Enahai nodded, and took the lead up the steps with satisfaction, and the twenty soldiers with rifles behind him were naturally greeted by other officials, so he didn't have to worry about it.

After walking to the county hall, Enahai saw that in addition to Ge County's order, other county officials and officials all walked in, presumably wanting to entertain him with Ge County's order.

Enahai came to see Ge Shihong to arrest Xiao Zhenlei and destroy Zhenhua Company, and the fewer people who knew about this matter before it was launched, the better, and he said to Ge Shihong: "Ge County Order, I don't know who is in charge of the green camp in this county?" ”

The Green Battalion is one of the standing armies of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty will incorporate the Ming Army and other Han soldiers in the process of unifying the whole country, with reference to the old system of the Ming Army, with the battalion as the basic unit to be formed, with the green flag as the symbol, called the Green Battalion, also known as the Green Flag Soldier. The total number of soldiers in the green battalion in the country has increased and decreased from time to time, and before Xianfeng, it was about 600,000, three or four times more than that of the Eight Banners. Before the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the Green Camp was still called the elite. However, after a long period of peace, the business was slackened and became increasingly corrupt. Since the early years of Jiaqing, when the White Lotus Rebellion in Sichuan and Chu was suppressed, it was no longer effective, and when Xianfeng suppressed the Taiping Army, it was defeated repeatedly. Therefore, from Tongzhi to Guangxu years, after the elimination of the retrenchment, some were gradually reorganized into patrol battalions, lost the role of the standing army, the system of the green battalion only existed in the empty name, a few regions or prefectures and counties have not had time to reorganize, but the number has been very small, as few as dozens of people, as many as hundreds of people.

Ge County Ling heard Enahai ask about the Green Camp, and immediately said: "The person in charge of the Green Camp is Qian Zongtong Tieshan!" Tong Qian, what about Tong Qian? ”

I saw a burly big fat man rolling over like a rolling ball, and bowed down: "Tong Tieshan see the two adults!" ”

Erna Hai couldn't help frowning when he looked at Tong Tieshan's figure, but quickly regained his composure, nodded and said, "Lord Tong, please get up!" ”

After that, he said to Ge Shihong again: "Ge County Order, this official has some things I want to talk to you and Tong Qianzong, and the others will go their separate ways, so you don't have to accompany this official here, so as not to delay your normal business!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Ge County's order didn't matter, he agreed, and said to the other officials: "Have you heard what Lord E said?" Tong Qian always stays, and everyone else belongs to you! ”

When the other officials heard this, they immediately bowed to the Enahai, and then dispersed.

When everyone left, the three of them sat down in the inner hall, Enahai naturally sat on the top, Ge Shihong and Tong Tieshan sat on the left and right sides of the bottom, and the tea was quickly brought by the maid.

Holding a teacup and drinking tea, he asked about some of the situations in the county government and Baoshan County, and Ge County Lingdu gave formulaic answers one by one.

Enahai didn't care what he answered, his purpose was very clear, the small talk just now was just to open the topic, and after the topic was opened, the next thing was to get down to business.

After chatting for half an hour, Enahai brought the topic to the topic: "Mr. Tong Qian, how many soldiers and firearms do you have now?" ”

Xun is the smallest military unit of the Green Battalion, which is divided into two types: soldiers and defenders, in addition to horsemen (cavalry) and sailors. The battalion system is divided into four types: standard, association, battalion, and flood, the governor, governor, admiral, and general soldier belong to the standard, the deputy general belongs to the association, the general, the guerrilla, the capital division, and the garrison belong to the battalion, and the thousand generals, generals, and foreign commissions belong to the flood. The standard and the association have jurisdiction over one to five battalions, and the battalions are divided into a number of floods.

When Tong Tieshan heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly replied: "My lord, there are sixty-five people under the lowly position, and there are forty guns!" ”

Hearing this, Enahai's face changed, and he said coldly: "Why is there only sixty-five people in the green battalion of your county? How come there are only thirty muskets? ”

Tong Tieshan's face instantly turned pale, and his body began to tremble, this is Ge County Ling hurriedly arched his hand: "My lord, now the green camp is basically just an empty shelf, this is already a well-known thing, originally there were more than 100 people in the green camp in our county, but in order to maintain the county government in Shanghai, Lord Daotai transferred most of the people from the surrounding counties, so we only have more than 60 people, of course, this is only one of the aspects, on the other hand, the military salary above cannot be paid, Many of the Green Battalion soldiers ran away after not getting their salaries for a long time, and we also sent people to arrest them, but it was useless, so we ???????."
