Chapter 12: Our Friends Are in Charge

Qi Ye showed a blank expression when he got off the ship at the familiar Fuzhou Port, he didn't expect that the clipper would have to run for three or four days, but it would only take one day to complete.

"Shopkeeper Qi, do you have a place to go?" Captain Chen Chip said to Qi Ye very politely.

Qi Ye glanced at Chen Chip with complicated eyes, if it weren't for this guy saying that he would never return to Quanzhou, Qi Ye would not have been taken to Fuzhou suddenly. But by this time, it was too late to say anything, and Qi Ye could only coldly say that he had a place to go.

Chen Chou's attitude was still polite, "Can the shopkeeper tell me where to stay, we will have a ship south soon." When the time comes, send the shopkeeper back to Quanzhou. ”

"I ......" Qi Ye originally wanted to say that he would go to live in Xianqian Village, but now the person in charge of Fuzhou Qian Zhuang is Qi Rong. If he was looking for Qi Rong, he would probably let Qi Rong know that Qi Ye and Zhao Jiaren would continue to cooperate. Although the cooperation between Qi Ye and Zhao Jiaren was not a secret in Jianxian Qianzhuang, and suddenly arrived in Fuzhou from Quanzhou, Qi Ye still couldn't help but feel a little weak.

Thinking of this, Qi Ye replied, "I'll go find Zhao Tidian first." I'll talk to Zhao about something. ”

Walking on the familiar streets of Fuzhou, Qi Ye felt more and more at a loss in his heart. This is indeed Fuzhou, and he has indeed only been at sea for a day and a night. Even if I decided to go north early in the morning of the first day, it was already noon the next day. Even if there was a southeast wind along the way, the Zhao family's ship was no longer a longitudinal sail, but a crosssail. It's a bit too fast.

After leaving Fuzhou for almost two years, Fuzhou has not changed, and Quanzhou has not changed for decades. But the speed of travel between the two places has changed dramatically. The Zhao family's ship was on the road all night, and it used to only do this when the ship tried to escape from the pursuit. That's really playing with life.

Thinking, walking. When he arrived at the Yamen of the Prison on Fujian Road, the officer at the door still remembered Qi Ye, and after coming forward to say hello and ask, the officer smiled and said, "I'll go in and report it." ”

Not long after, a young man came out with the errand officer, and the young man led Qi Ye into the yamen.

"Brother Qi. It's good to meet you. Zhao Jiaren is slightly taller than before, and his appearance has changed from a young man's round face to a young man's angular face. However, the smile did not change, which made Qi Ye feel very warm.

After the two sat down, they started talking, Qi Ye glanced at the young man, and then at Zhao Jiaren. I saw Zhao Jiaren smile and said, "It's okay." Just say what you want. ”

Qi Ye told his own story. Zhao Jiaren didn't interrupt in the middle, and after listening to it, he looked a little happy, "Brother Qi, do you think the Pu family is officially at war with us?" ”

"He probably doesn't think we don't know who did it." Qi Ye replied.

"Good." Zhao Jiaren said happily: "Then I will ask Brother Qi for a favor, I am going to have a meeting, and I will ask Brother Qi to explain the true face of the Pu family to my subordinates." ”

"It's ...... Why? Qi Ye was very surprised. Zhao Jiaren summoned his subordinates, how could it be Qi Ye's turn to speak?

Zhao Jiaren misunderstood what Qi Ye meant, and he hurriedly explained, "My subordinates are not pirates. Many decisions have to be made in the name of justice. ”

Hearing this, Qi Ye understood Zhao Jiaren's purpose, which made him speechless for a while. Where is there so much goodwill at sea, completely relying on strength. As an underground pirate leader, can't the Pu family still be able to mix well in Quanzhou? Zhao Jiaren is so hypocritical, but it seems different. But thinking about Zhao Jiaren's identity, Qi Ye was also relieved. As a member of the Zhao family, there are indeed many things that are different from others.

As soon as he calmed down his thoughts, Zhao Jiaren's words made Qi Ye nervous again. "Brother Qi. I am not short of money and can afford to open a bank. I still want to invite Brother Qi to come to me. I don't know what Brother Qi thinks. ”

"......" Qi Ye wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Seeing Qi Ye's embarrassed look, Zhao Jiaren smiled: "Either way, I will probably be able to become the governor of Quanzhou in the next few years." If I hadn't been there, then I wouldn't have said anything. If I do, Brother Qi will come to help me. Luckily? ”

“…… We'll talk about that then. Qi Ye's voice became dry.

After talking to Qi Ye, Zhao Jiaren arranged a place for Qi Ye to live, and he went to the school himself.

As soon as they arrived at the school, all the cadres who remained in Fuzhou had already gathered. This was the first time that the Zhao family had encountered such a fierce challenge, and everyone knew that things would not rest on their laurels. Zhao Jiaren did not convene a plenary meeting, but first asked the cadres on the warring ships to brief each other. Then summarize it.

Among them, Yuelian's report made Zhao Jiaren particularly concerned, and he immediately called Li Hongjun and let him read the contents. Li Hongjun frowned after reading it, "Headmaster." You don't mean that the Pu family has arranged a spy with us, right? ”

It can be heard that Li Hongjun is very sensitive to Zhao Jiaren's attitude of wanting to catch spies, and he seems to be on the side of the students. Zhao Jiaren didn't say anything more, just asked Li Hongjun to keep it a secret and never say it.

Then he called Liu Meng again, and Liu Meng was furious after reading it. He said angrily, "Headmaster. We have someone here who eats inside and outside, who do you say, I'll go and get him out! ”

"You just need to know it, and you are not allowed to say it." For this kind of fierce general, Zhao Jiaren also felt that he had found the wrong person.

In the end, Zhao Jiaren had to think about Yuelian. Although Hu Yuelian can give complete trust when attacking the Pu family, her credibility is far from reaching the level of being able to act as a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of the Interior, as a security agency, must have reliable personnel and, in terms of competence, must be very cultured and patient.

The information provided by Yuelian is accusing the Pu family of using distilled alcohol as an accelerant, but she herself is not professional and can only rely on observation. Conducting an internal investigation in the absence of actual evidence is likely to result in accidental injury. If it is about the candidate, Zhao Jiaren actually thinks that Xu Yuanzhi is a candidate who looks okay. Of course, this is just to think about. In the current situation, Xu Yuanzhi would not bow his head to Zhao Jiaren no matter what.

On the morning of the third day of Qi Ye's arrival in Fuzhou, Zhao Jiaren officially began the mobilization work. First of all, Zhao Jiaren spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, our fleet has always behaved properly at sea, and there is no killing and looting, and we are good people everywhere. But it's not just the sea conditions that are dangerous. Hurricanes and waves come in the light, but the sinister hearts of people are in the dark. The purpose of convening everyone today is to let everyone know who our enemies are and who are our friends. If we want to make a long-term living at sea with our capabilities, we have to unite our friends and fight the enemy. If we can't do that, we're going to suffer. Now, we ask our friend Qi Yeqi, the shopkeeper, to tell you who the Quanzhou bully Pu family is. Applause, please. ”

Whoa, whoa, whoa! The students talked about discipline, everyone applauded together, and the atmosphere in the room was immediately enthusiastic.

Although Qi Ye was born in a wealthy family and had seen various scenes, he had never experienced such treatment. The applause was loud, but it made Qi Ye a little uneasy and restrained. The applause represents the expectations of the audience, and even though some preparations have been made in the past two years, Qi Ye still feels that his preparation may be insufficient.

In the end, Qi Ye could only stand up and walked to the podium. Before speaking, Qi Ye saw Zhao Jiaren find a stool below to sit with the students, and Qi Ye was the only one standing high on the podium. Standing alone on a high place, below were dozens of men and several women, each with a sturdy body and a sharp gaze. This made Qi Ye feel his scalp tingle, and he couldn't help but want to tremble. When he tried desperately to speak, Qi Ye felt that his lips seemed to be trembling, and he couldn't open his mouth.

Such a situation made Qi Ye suddenly feel some resentment in his heart, he felt that Zhao Jiaren asked him to speak on stage, which clearly showed that he was making things difficult for him. Qi Ye really wanted to talk about it, but now his embarrassment has disappointed all expectations. With this kind of self-abandonment, Qi Ye ruthlessly opened what he wrote, and read it according to the script, "The Pu family is not a good person, and when he arrived in Quanzhou a few decades ago, he colluded with pirates and became a local rich ......"
