As a prestigious intelligence agency of the Ming Dynasty, the strength of Jin Yiwei has always been not to be underestimated, although the acting skills of Jin Yiwei who pretended to be a common person in this wine shop are not very qualified, but Gong Qiqi has no contempt for them. The vast majority of the practitioners of this yamen have real skills, especially the grassroots personnel who perform tasks such as lurking, tracking, and arresting, and rarely have wine bags and rice bags. It was precisely because Gong Qiqi was not sure about dealing with these people that he specially asked people to go back and move reinforcements. However, this powerless Young Master Li actually claimed to be able to help him in this matter, and Gong Seventeen naturally would not believe it lightly.

Li Nai said with a calm face: "Don't worry about Captain Gong, I have already discussed a foolproof plan with Boss He?"

"A foolproof strategy?" Gong Qiqi looked incredulous. In Guangzhou City, if you want to do it against the Jinyi guards of the imperial court, how can there be any foolproof plan for this kind of head-killing deed?

"Captain Gong, wait a minute, you let your people not rush to do it, they have their own way. Li Nai didn't elaborate, and directly showed Gong 17 He Xi's warrant.

Gong Qiqi saw it very clearly, and the content of the warrant was for him to cooperate with Li Nai in this operation, and to protect Li Nai's personal safety. Since it was He Xi's handwritten order, Gong Qiqi had no choice but to do so, and asked people to notify several other people who were on surveillance duty outside the wine shop.

After about half an hour, the door of the liquor store finally opened. The five people who had entered earlier rushed out, looked left and right to see if there was any movement, and then walked towards the south.

"Let's go, let's go along and have a look. Li Nai shook the folding fan and followed unhurriedly. Gong Qiqi also threw down the firewood and followed behind Li Nai, he really wanted to see how the delicate and noble Third Young Master Li would deal with these wolf-like brocade guards.

As soon as he walked through a street corner, Gong Qiqi saw a stall standing on the side of the street in front of him, and several people were loudly soliciting people to come and go: "Take a look! Haihan immigrants are well paid, and they have a salary for food, housing, and housing. Enjoy life without worries!"

When the Jinyi guards dressed as civilians approached, someone came up to them and handed them a few leaflets, the content of which was nothing more than to promote the policy of Haihan immigration. This kind of immigration propaganda point used to appear outside the city, but it was extremely rare in the city, and when Gong Qiqi saw this posture, he guessed in his heart that this should be the arrangement of the Li family. The propagandists and propaganda materials are ready-made, and they can be pulled directly to the city to set up stalls.

Several brocade guards obviously hesitated for a while. But in the end, he did not stay in front of this stall and continued to march south. Gong Qiqi saw that Li Nai did not show the slightest disappointment. Still looking confident, he expected that he should have a follow-up, so he was not in a hurry to ask at the moment, and continued to follow quietly behind.

Sure enough, at almost every intersection I passed next, there were stalls soliciting immigrants, and propaganda methods were also emerging. Gong Qiqi finally couldn't help but catch up a few steps and asked Li Nai: "Seeing that this arrangement should have been made in advance, how did the third young master know that they would go to the south of the city?"

"I don't know which direction they're going. Li Nai shook his head and said, "So I have arranged them in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, with a total of about thirty or forty stalls, and more than two hundred people participating. ”

Gong Qiqi was stunned and speechless when he heard this. In a very short period of time, so many propaganda points were arranged, and this kind of method could only be played by a local snake like the Li family, and it was also a shame that Li Nai could come up with such an idea. Although the five brocade guards were not interested in this kind of street solicitation at first, as they encountered more and more publicity, they gradually began to show signs of hesitation. Near a certain immigration collection point before leaving the city, these people couldn't help but come forward to inquire when they saw a group of immigrants who had been recruited at the scene.

Gong Qiqi's nerves immediately tensed. If these brocade guards find out that something is wrong, then it will inevitably arouse their vigilance, and it will not work to use similar methods to lure the enemy.

Li Nai said very easily: "Captain Gong don't have to worry, these people don't know the inside story, what they know is that for every immigrant recruited today, they can get a penny of silver." As for those immigrants. Of course, it's all true. ”

Gong Qiqi said suddenly: "The third young master's trick is really powerful! If they want to sneak into Shengli Harbor quietly, probably becoming immigrants is the easiest way." ”

"But they probably won't choose to be immigrants. Li Nai shook his head and said: "Although the immigration status is easy to use, the process of checking the identity is very strict. ”

"Then in that case, why did the Third Young Master go to such lengths to set up these propaganda points?" Gong Qiqi asked puzzled.

"In order to build momentum, let these people know Haihan's immigration policy. That way, they won't be so picky when they choose other ways to disguise their identity. Li Nai said unhurriedly.

"Is there any other way?" Gong Qiqi only now felt that the Third Young Master Li in front of him was not a literati who could only die studying, and the methods used were one move after another.

"The front is foreshadowing, and the back is the main drama. Seeing that the five people had already left the city gate, the relaxed expression on Li Nai's face finally put away, and his steps also quickened.

Outside the south gate of Guangzhou is the Pearl River Wharf, where there are many hotels, shops and storage places, which has led to the development of transportation, catering, entertainment and other industries. Today, however, the situation seems to be a little different than usual, and there are many stalls on the streets to attract sailors and sailors.

There are a lot of conspicuous signs on both sides of the street, such as "urgently recruit a few crew members, set off to the south on the same day, and the salary is good", "the monthly salary is five taels to hire sailors urgently, and those who are familiar with the Qionghai Sea channel are preferred", "Sanya special line hires several crew members, with or without experience, you can withdraw the first month's salary when you join the company", "urgently hire personnel stationed in Sanya, Qiongzhou, and the annual income of 1,000 taels is no longer a dream", and so on, and some even the ink on them has not completely dried.

In front of these stalls, there were more or less crowds of people, and even Gong Qiqi, who was accustomed to seeing the prosperity here, was stunned. As for those brocade guards, they have already scattered to different recruitment points to explore the conditions.

Gong Qiqi was stunned for a long time before he said to Li Nai: "The third son's trick is indeed powerful, and he is serving! But what if these people don't plan to find a way to Sanya immediately?"

"That's no loss! The Executive Committee has recently entrusted my side to increase the recruitment of sailors and sailors, and even if these few people cannot be netted, it is good to recruit a group of professionals to send them to Sanya. We set up the recruitment points for this whole street, and no matter where they go, they will still end up on our boat!" Li Nai said with a smile. He noticed that one of the subjects of surveillance appeared to have taken a keen interest in the solicitation of a particular family. I sat down in front of the roadside stall and began to talk in detail.

Gong Qiqi now has to admire Li Nai's methods, compared to recruiting immigrants, the entry conditions for sailors are obviously more relaxed, there is no need to verify personal conditions, and there is no need to check luggage, and outsiders want to sneak into Sanya unknowingly, this is undoubtedly the best way. At that time, these brocade guards got on the ship and sailed away from Guangzhou. Then it will be completely meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of oneself.

Gong Qiqi made a gesture. The members of the field team who were around immediately dispersed and went separately to spy on the targets. Seeing that the dust had settled, Li Nai said to Gong Seventeen with a smile: "If Captain Gong is fine, then we might as well go to the teahouse next to us and sit and wait for the news!"

The two sat in the teahouse for a long time, and then they began to receive news feedback one after another. The target tasks all have obvious Jiangsu and Zhejiang accents, which basically confirm the possibility of coming from Nanjing. The five of them were divided into two groups and joined two different shipping companies - of course, both of which were actually properties owned by the Li family. They will depart from the Pearl River Wharf the day after tomorrow as crew members and head to their destination Sanya.

"Today's matter is all planned and implemented by the third young master. After going back next time, I will definitely show the boss and ask for credit for the third young master!" Gong Qiqi finally put down his hanging heart at this time.

Li Nai waved his hand and said: "There is no need to ask for credit, I am not your internal person, this credit is useless to me." After you go back, tell Boss He, don't forget to owe me ten cases of Sanya Special Brew, send it to me early. ”

The "Sanya Special Brew" mentioned by Li Nai is actually rum produced in Sanya. This cane molasses-based distilled spirit was highly praised for its sweet taste. Due to the limited production capacity of sugarcane in the Haihankong zhì area, most of which is used to make cane sugar, the production of this "Sanya special brew" is not much, and it is not even publicly sold on the market, and there are only related households such as "Fu Ruifeng". Only then can there be a way to get a small amount of survival from within Haihan. And its price in the market is also much more than ordinary liquor because of its rarity, and at an auction last month, 12 bottles of "Sanya Special Brew" even sold for a sky-high price of 1,000 taels of silver.

Gong Qiqi bowed down, and then said: "These recruitment booths arranged by the third prince will be set up for a few more days." ”

"Why is that?" asked Li Nai, somewhat surprised. Although it doesn't cost much money to set up these stalls, the number of people they occupy cannot be ignored. In order to set up such a net array, almost ninety percent of the employees of "Fu Ruifeng" in and outside Guangzhou were dispatched, and even all the shops were closed, and the impact on the Li family's business could not be ignored.

"Although we know that there is such a group of people with bad intentions, we don't know the details of their numbers and division of labor, and we don't know if there are other people besides these five people today, so as not to slip through the net!" Gong Qiqi was not carried away by the victory in front of him, and still remembered his mission very clearly.

Li Nai nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then it's up to Captain Gong to say." ”

In fact, Gong Seventeen's follow-up plan is even longer, and the monitoring of the Jinyiwei contact point will have to last for at least half a month, and the alarm will not be lifted until the matter is over. However, Li Nai's strategy did help Gong 17 solve the problem of manpower shortage, as long as the five target people got on the ship, the rest of the things did not need to be brought forward by the field team of the Guangzhou Office. The navy has always arranged for someone to be responsible for armed escorts, and at least one company of naval mobile forces on the Lijiazhuang side can be mobilized, so it is obviously easier for them to deal with this kind of matter.

That night, Gong 17 returned to the Guangzhou Office and reported the process and results of the operation to He Xi, and in the end, he did not forget to mention Li Nai's ten boxes of "Sanya Special Brew". He Xi said with a smile: "Li Nai, this guy is purely here for the ten cases of wine, and I will arrange for someone to send it to his house tomorrow." You pick a clever one from the guys who participated in the operation today, go to Panyu early tomorrow morning, inform Xiao Liang over there of the incident, and help him deal with it well. ”

Gong Qiqi knew that the purpose of this person in the past was not just to send a letter, but more importantly, to recognize people in the past, so as not to escape the target when he was arrested, so he hurriedly responded and arranged people.

The next day, there was nothing to do, and the Li family's recruitment booth continued to recruit migrant laborers inside and outside the city under various names. On the morning of the third day, He Xi personally traveled with Gong 17 to witness this crucial step on the Pearl River Wharf.

According to the time agreed at the time of recruitment, the five target people should all report to the dock this morning to set off, and when He Xi and Gong Qiqi came to the dock with the people, the person in charge of monitoring came to report the news, saying that those people had already boarded the two merchant ships they had defected to.

"These guys are quite positive!" He Xi said with a smile: "When the ship leaves the dock, we can rest assured." ”

An hour later, two merchant ships carrying the Jinyi Guard's spies slowly left the Pearl River Wharf and headed south along the river. He Xi got up and patted his buttocks and said, "Let's go, our matter is over, go back to the Guangzhou Office and send a telegram to tell you that the target over there has set off!"

Just as Gong Qiqi and others found out the news, the five people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who visited the wine shop that day were indeed Jinyiwei from Fusi in Nanzhen. The leader of the team was a hundred households named Li Qingyang, who was given the task of going to the Yazhou area to investigate what kind of group of Haihan people appeared in the local area. However, this operation was different from the past, and their team would not deal with the Guangzhou Jinyi Health Agency, but after arriving in Guangzhou, they managed to cross the Hainan to Yazhou and infiltrate the local area to investigate and collect evidence.

Li Qingyang did not particularly know why his boss had such a strange arrangement, and his duty was to obey and carry out orders, not to ask why. After receiving the order, he led the team south, and after staying outside the city of Guangzhou for a day, he entered the city and got in touch with the local secret post where Fusi lived in Nanzhen.
