Chapter 1065: Face to Face

When Liao Xun heard Wan Fa say this, his heart sank. Mobile Reading M. As an official of the intelligence agency, his whereabouts have always been relatively secretive, and he only brought six subordinates to Chengfeng Bank today, plus the two teams of people deployed outside Chengfeng Bank to monitor, there are only about ten people in total. Originally, these people were used to monitor a small business inn, and it was completely enough to protect their own security, after all, this place was close to Hangzhou City, and ordinary people would not dare to get along with Jinyi Wei in this kind of place. But Wan Fa dared to ridicule himself here so unscrupulously, presumably these subordinates he brought were not spared, and all of them fell into the control of the other party.

Things have come to this point, and Liao Xun also has a new understanding of Wanfa's identity. The courage to drug and imprison the officials of the Jinyi Guard, and not to show any flaws in the previous contacts, is definitely not something that ordinary businessmen can do. Liao Xun, as a professional, fell for this, mainly because he was still defenseless against Wanfa, but now combined with the causes and consequences, it is not difficult for him to speculate the reason why Wanfa attacked him.

"So from beginning to end, you are in the same group as the Haihan people?" asked Liao Xun through gritted teeth.

Wan Fa did not ignore his speculation, nodded and responded: "Lord Liao, haven't you been trying to find the Haihan people? In fact, the villain is one of them, you came to the door to seal the villain's way of life, so don't blame the villain for resisting." ”

After listening to these two sentences, Liao Xun understood the ins and outs of the matter. This Wan Fa was a person sent by the Haihan people to Hangzhou to lurk, using the identity of the innkeeper as a cover, secretly organizing immigration and collecting intelligence for the Haihan, but because of his cover-up methods, he actually made himself mistakenly think that he would only do things for the Haihan people because he was greedy for money, and he also hoped that he could scare him by relying on the identity of Jinyiwei. But the other party was obviously making a false deal with himself in this process, and he dug such a big pit in advance and waited for him to jump down, which also shows the calmness of his mind.

However, Liao Xun is not a rookie, and he is not messed up in this unfavorable situation, he judged that since the other party just tied himself with a rope, he must also have a plan, to obtain some information from himself or threaten himself to agree to some of his requests, otherwise he should directly cut off his life to prevent future troubles. Since the other party did not directly make a heavy hand, it means that there is still room for maneuver, and whether you can get out safely depends on whether you can figure out the other party's true intentions.

Liao Xun said: "Boss Wan, since you don't hesitate to expose your identity to kidnap the official, you must have asked for something, so you might as well listen to it, if it's not too much of a request, the official can also open up for you." ”

Wan Fa smiled and said: "The villain is just a pawn who runs errands and does things, what does it say, the villain just does it, and doesn't ask the reason." Lord Liao wants to know so much, please wait for a while while for the villain's boss to come and interview the adult. ”

After Wan Fa finished speaking, he didn't wait for Liao Xun to ask, and then left the room again. Liao Xun was tied to a chair alone, the door in front of him was open, there were two lanterns hanging under the beam at the door, but there was no palm lamp in the house, there was no sound in the courtyard outside the door, and there was no one to see at all as far as the eye could see, and he could only judge from the room layout that this was the room he was in before he fell unconscious. Although he also wanted to shout loudly, he knew that since the other party dared to leave him alone like this, he must have full confidence in controlling the scene, and someone must be secretly observing him, if he tried to call for help, he was afraid that even his mouth would be gagged next.

Liao Xun's feeling was very accurate, and when Wan Fa was talking to him, Gong Qiqi was looking at him next door through the observation hole on the wall. If Liao Xun shows fear, panic and other emotions, he can use this to judge his psychological state and make more targeted responses, which is also one of the interrogation skills he learned from He Xi. However, Liao Xun is also an officer who has been in the industry for many years and has received special training, although the incident happened suddenly and was in an unfavorable situation, he did not show too much panic, at least on the surface, he still seemed to be relatively calm.

However, Gong Qiqi was also very confident in the plan he had specified, as long as Takahashi Nan in the city could act according to the plan, he believed that it was only a matter of time before he defeated Liao Xun's spiritual defense. But before he can do it, he has to meet with his opponent and try to extract more valuable information from them.

Liao Xun didn't know how long he had been sitting, maybe it was just a cup of tea, maybe it had been an hour or two, and suddenly he heard dense and neat footsteps outside, which shocked his spirits, and he thought that maybe his subordinates had escaped and brought reinforcements to the rescue.

However, in the end, what appeared in his field of vision was not a brocade guard wearing a public uniform and carrying an embroidered spring knife at his waist, but more than a dozen black cloth masked men. These people were identical except for the black cloth on their faces, which showed only their eyes and nose, but they were dressed differently, and when the first few people entered the house, they lit lamps in the house. Liao Xun also recognized this new type of oil lamp, which is the Haihan oil lamp that began to appear on the market in Zhejiang in the past one or two years, and its characteristic is that a windproof glass cover is added above the lamp base, and the length of the burning wick can be adjusted with a machine bracket, and a layer of semi-closed iron cover can be added outside to concentrate light. Liao Xun is so familiar because he has two such oil lamps in his own house. Now two of the oil lamps were placed opposite Liao Xun, and the light was right on his face, making it a little difficult for him to even open his eyes.

Liao Xun looked at the clothes of these people, almost all of them were coarse cloth fabrics, and some of them even had dirt marks on their trouser legs and hems of their clothes, and they all seemed to be inferior people who were doing rough work. However, none of these masked men carried swords or other weapons, only a few of them carried a short wooden stick more than two feet long, and they did not look like they were going to fight.

From the situation in front of him, Liao Xun judged at least two things, first, these people uniformly covered their faces, probably to prevent their faces from being remembered by themselves, from this point of view, he did have hope of survival, because if the other party calmed down and killed him, he didn't need to worry about the consequences of his identity being exposed. Of course, Wan Fa, who has been exposed, is definitely not among them, and if Liao Xun can leave alive, then Wan Fa will definitely not set foot in Hangzhou Mansion again.

Second, these people didn't carry swords with them, and they seemed to be very relieved about the environment here, and they were sure that there would be no rescuers from Liao Xun falling from the sky to appear so easily.

Someone moved a Taishi chair to the door in front of Liao Xun and put it down, and then another masked man walked into the room and sat on the chair with a big grin. Liao Xun looked at his dress, but he was a rich businessman, and it seemed that he should be the mastermind of this group of people.

"Lord Liao, I have admired my name for a long time, and I am really fortunate to see you today!" After the man sat down, he bowed his hand to greet Liao Xun.

Liao Xun snorted and said, "Please forgive this official for being unable to move at the moment and unable to return the courtesy!"

The other party ignored his complaints, and had no intention of ordering the loosening of the tie at all, and continued to take care of himself: "In Xia Gong Seventeen, I happened to be doing the same line as Lord Liao, and I heard that Lord Liao has been looking for us, so I arranged this occasion to meet and talk with Lord Liao. If you are disrespectful, I hope Lord Liao will be more considerate. ”

Liao Xun sneered: "Do the same business as this official? You thief is so bold, you dare to boast about this kind of Haikou!"

Liao Xun put down the cruel words, but he was secretly taken aback in his heart. He had seen the name Gong 17 in relevant intelligence before, and it was said that he was one of the backbone personnel of the intelligence agency under Haihan's rule, and this person actually came to Hangzhou to deal with him in person, which shows that Haihan also used a lot of resources in this operation.

Gong XVII was not angry because of Liao Xun's sarcasm, and continued: "In the year that Haihan has been in Zhejiang, Lord Liao seems to have never stopped fighting against us. If it is for economic reasons, then I suggest a truce, and Haihan can provide Liao with more lucrative benefits than in the past. The Zhoushan Boat Gang's business methods are too shabby and inefficient in our opinion, and after Haihan takes over the local area, they will be able to make money ten times faster, and those who are willing to stand on our side will also benefit from it. Lord Liao is a smart person and should know which option will be more beneficial to him. ”

Liao Xun said: "Of course, everyone wants silver, and this official is no exception, but your Haihan's silver is hot, but this official doesn't dare to take this benefit casually." ”

Gong Qiqi smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Dongchang will investigate you? Or are you afraid that your two accomplices, Yu Pingfeng and Guo Zheng, will not let you go?"

Liao Xun's face changed slightly, and his alliance with Yu Pingfeng and Guo Zheng was not clearly displayed, how did this person surnamed Gong know about it? He did not know that the relationship between their small group had been known to the Haihan Security Department last year, and the accounts had already been recorded for them. If it weren't for the distance between Hangzhou and Zhoushan, Gong Qiqi would have come to trouble him with the field team.

Gong Qiqi noticed the subtle change in the expression on Liao Xun's face, and continued: "In the southern Fuguang and Guangzhou, there are many Ming officials who cooperate with us who are doing very well, and they have been promoted and made rich year after year, whether it is Dongchang or Jinyiwei, they dare not easily go to their troubles, why do you want to oppose us? If you don't have a chance to choose before this, then I will give you a chance to make a choice now, either cooperate with us, or disappear from this world." Lord Liao, which path do you think is more suitable for you?"

Liao Xun is not a person who can be bluffed in a few words, but he sneered again and again: "The surname Gong, you probably made a mistake, you are just a thief from outside, what this official has done is the right way, and the evil of heaven does not suppress the right, how can I let this official give in to you thieves!

Gong Qiqi nodded and said: "Lord Liao's words are righteous and awe-inspiring, if you didn't know Lord Liao's deeds before, maybe you would really believe Your Excellency's words." It's a pity that after all, we are peers, and we don't ask so much about the merits of doing things, we only think about whether it is beneficial to our camp, do you think this is the truth?"

Liao Xun said: "This official sees what you have done, and you are not a reasonable person, so save this kind of nonsense!"

Gong Qiqi said: "Then it's a pity, I originally planned to reason with you, but since you don't listen, you can only use other means." ”

Liao Xun said: "Since this official has eaten this bowl of rice, he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, you put the knife on the neck of this official and see if this head will bow down to you!"

"It's a bit backbone!" Gong Qiqi did not hide his approval: "I don't know how many people among the Ming military attaches can be like you." But it's a pity that you're on the wrong side and you're on the wrong side. ”

Liao Xun snorted and said, "This official wants to see what means you can have." ”

Gong Qiqi snapped his fingers and said, "Hang up the map." ”

Immediately, someone erected a bamboo pole shelf next to it and hung up the three-foot square map. Liao Xun said loudly when he saw it: "It's Hangzhou City!"

The locations of the ten city gates on this map, the West Lake in the west of the city, and the Qiantang River in the south of the city are clearly identifiable, and even the main roads in the city are clearly drawn.

"Lord Liao has good eyesight. Gong Qiqi stood up and walked to the map, and immediately one of his subordinates moved the oil lamp to the side so that the details on the map could be better displayed.

Gong Qiqi raised his hand to the south of the city and said: "This is Fengshan Gate, and this red dot below is the Chengfeng Line where we are now." ”

Then he pointed to a certain place in the city and said, "This is the Dusi Yamen...... This is the sentencing according to the prosecutor's ...... This is the Jinyi Guard Yamen...... This is where you used to live......"

As Gong Qiqi pointed out the locations marked on the map one by one, Liao Xun's nerves also tensed. He didn't expect that the Haihan people had put a lot of effort into Hangzhou City, and they had already found out these details one by one, especially when the other party pointed out the location of his old mansion, Liao Xun already had a bad omen in his heart - since Gong Qiqi already knew that it was his previous residence, it meant that the current residence had not escaped the other party's surveillance.

Sure enough, Gong Qiqi's next target moved straight to the north of the city: "Here, Jincaifang in the north of the city, the third family on this street should be Lord Liao's new house, right? If there is no omission in our surveillance, then there should be a wife and a concubine, a son and a daughter, a housekeeper, six servants, and two martial artists in this house. Originally, there were still twenty or thirty people living in the house connected to the back, but they had already left the city early this morning and boarded the ship to Ningbo...... Lord Liao, there's nothing missing here, right?"

Liao Xun said angrily: "What do you want?"

Gong Qiqi returned to his seat and sat down, and said unhurriedly: "It's not a big deal, I just want to invite Lord Liao's family to Zhoushan Island for a while...... All expenses shall be borne by us. ”
