Chen Yixin bowed down and picked up the waist card that fell to the ground from Li Qingyang's hand, and showed it to everyone in the courtyard: "As for this so-called Jinyi Wei waist card, according to his accomplices, it is just a fake made by someone in Guangzhou for three yuan of silver, and it is only used to bluff the people who can't do it when necessary! You can do as much as you want with this kind of thing, and you must not be deceived by this gangster's inferior methods. ”

Li Qingyang was pressed to the ground by seven or eight people, and his mouth was stuffed with cloth, so he couldn't tell the difference at all, so he could only barely make a "woo" sound to express his unwillingness.

Song San looked at the waist card in Chen Yixin's hand, and then looked at Li Qingyang who was pressed to the ground, his face was pale, his legs were weak, he knelt down, and said in his mouth: "Chief, it's a villain who is confused, and the villain really doesn't know that this Li Qingyang is a villain!"

Chen Yixin waved his hand and said: "You don't have to blame yourself, I know that you are all innocent, this group of gangsters has done a very good job of preparation in advance, no wonder you will be deceived." You get up first and take the militia to the boat to clear out all his stuff. ”

"Yes, yes, the villain will take all the military masters on the boat to ensure that none of them fall. Song San hurriedly stood up, and didn't forget to spit fiercely when he passed by Li Qingyang. Song San didn't expect that this newly recruited offspring would actually be a gangster with bad intentions, if this gang of people sneaked into Sanya and did something big, then it would definitely be difficult for him to get rid of his involvement when the time came. Thinking that he was so kind-hearted but almost killed by this villain, Song San was so angry that he didn't fight anywhere, but with the Haihan militia in front of him, he didn't dare to make any drastic moves.

At this time, Li Qingyang, who was pressed to the ground, was angry and anxious, although he also thought that this group of lawless Haihan people might not be afraid of their Jinyi guard identity, and might even take armed resistance, but he never expected that the other party would use this kind of stigma to blame himself, and even the so-called evidence was ready. Their group had also carried a few official documents for the temporary transfer of reinforcements from the local government, but these things must have been hidden by the Haihan people, and the items displayed on display were indeed easy to misunderstand their identities. Coupled with the fact that several other people have been arrested, Li Qingyang has completely lost the opportunity to defend himself.

Of course, what kind of means the Haihan people used is actually secondary, and the key issue is that several of them have already revealed their identities, which led to the arrest of the Haihan people. What Li Qingyang couldn't determine now was whether the previous group of companions who arrived at Wanshan Port had a loophole, or whether they had been noticed by the Haihan people before they came here. If it is not exposed in Wanshan Port, then what is the problem?

Chen Yixin didn't look at Li Qingyang in front of him after taking him down, and said to everyone in the courtyard at this time: "You don't have to be nervous, we Haihan militia will not blame a good person, but we will not let go of a bad person! Please cooperate with our inspection and registration, and after proving your innocence, you can leave Wanshan Port freely." In order to express our apologies, we will also compensate you, and everyone who has been affected and delayed because of this incident!"

Everyone hurriedly responded: "It was my carelessness that allowed these thieves to get on the boat, and the military master is really polite to say this!" "Arrest the bandits, the military masters of the militia are also doing good things for everyone, and we should cooperate." "Please Jun Ye must strictly investigate, if there are still thieves on the ship, then don't let it go!"

Li Qingyang on the ground was almost dizzy with anger when he heard these words, and he wanted to spit out the cloth ball in his mouth and teach these stupid people a good lesson, who is the official and who is the thief. However, the militia soldiers who were holding him obviously would not give him such an opportunity, grabbed him by the arm, lifted him from the ground, and dragged him outside like a dead pig.

After Chen Yixin came out of the courtyard, he instructed his naturalized adjutant: "After the people are escorted over, remember to divide and detain them, and don't let those people have the opportunity to collude with each other! There are also people in this courtyard who must be investigated one by one, including the captain who spoke for the Jinyi Wei spy just now! In addition, all their luggage on the ship must be recovered, and they must carefully check what is inside!"

"Yes, sir!" the adjutant saluted with a standard military salute and led the group up the docks. Now that the boss has ordered a good investigation, the ship will probably have to turn over.

Chen Yixin returned to the headquarters, and as soon as Li Dou saw him, he stood up and asked eagerly, "How are things going?"

"The last one was also caught, and he was going to resist, but I didn't give him a chance, so I just took it. Chen Yixin grabbed the teacup and took a sip, and then told Li Dou about today's arrest.

"Nanzhen Fusi's Jinyiwei!" Li Dou sighed and said: "I have only seen Jinyiwei in movies before, but I didn't expect to be able to catch a few of them with my own hands now......"

"Did I catch it with my own hands?" Chen Yixin immediately corrected Li Dou's success: "Also, these Jinyi guards are also people, but they are engaged in a special industry." It's not the martial arts master in the movie, that guy just took out the dagger and didn't make a move, but he was pressed down by my people. ”

"You should let him try, maybe he will do light work or something, and fly out directly. Li Dou quipped.

"It's useless to fly, I took three platoons of people over, inside and outside a few laps, even if he can fly, he will be beaten down by the musket array. Besides, even if he flies out, how far can he fly? This island is so big, can he still fly out and be a seagull?" Chen Yixin said with a smile: "Don't be idle, hurry up and draft a telegram and send a telegram to both the Guangzhou Office and the base camp, informing us of the situation here, and asking for instructions on what to do next." ”

Li Dou said: "Don't be greedy for this credit, don't be greedy, I gave you the idea to put people on the shore for the night and then catch them." ”

"Don't worry, I can't help but make a note for you when I write my report. Chen Yixin patted Li Dou on the shoulder and said: "If you get promoted and make a fortune together, that's a good partner!"

The two of them are in trouble, but they are not ambiguous in doing things. Both of them are in their twenties, and they can be regarded as young Zhuang factions in the true sense of the word, and the executive committee has also given them considerable freedom to act, with the aim of cultivating them to become the backbone of the next generation, and even candidates for power. Although no one has explicitly put forward this purpose, whether it is the executive committee members or the two parties concerned, they still have more or less a number of them in mind.

An hour later, the radio stations on the island received calls back from the Guangzhou Office and the base camp, respectively, explaining not only the encouragement, but also the next step to deal with. Due to the limited manpower, the Guangzhou Office will not send another person to Wanshan Port to continue to participate in this case. The opinion from the base camp is that Chen Yixin temporarily conducted a surprise interrogation on behalf of the Ministry of Security to see if he could dig up more information - especially whether they still have undiscovered accomplices performing the same mission. After the surprise interrogation was completed, the spies were escorted back to Shengli Harbor by warship, and handed over to the Ministry of Security to handle the follow-up matters.

So after Chen Yixin received the new order, he came to the place where several spies were being held non-stop and began to interrogate them. In order to improve efficiency, Li Dou was also temporarily requisitioned by him, and the two were interrogated separately, and then the information obtained was compared.

Judging from the information currently available, Li Qingyang is undoubtedly the leader of this group, so Chen Yixin also took him as the main target of his surprise trial.

Since there are no facilities dedicated to torture on Dawanshan Island, arraignments can only take place in warehouses where these prisoners are held. The warehouse where Li Qingyang was held used to store salted fish, and as soon as he entered the door, he could smell a strong fishy smell, which made Chen Yixin frown involuntarily.

The militia escorted Li Qingyang, who was tied up with flowers, and Chen Yixin did not ask him to kneel on the ground, but asked the militia to bring a stool for him to sit opposite him.

"Li Qingyang, deputy secretary of Daming Jinyi Weinan Town?" Chen Yixin read out the text engraved on it while playing with the yellowed ivory waist card: "So you are a real Jinyi Wei, not some Jiangyang thief?"

Li Qingyang had already calmed down from the initial exposure at this time, and he was not angry when he heard the words, and responded in a deep voice: "This little brother doesn't know what to call him?"

Chen Yixin gently put the waist card on the table, stared at Li Qingyang's face, and responded word by word: "Commander of the Haihan People's Regiment stationed in Wanshan Port, Major Chen Yixin." ”

Although Li Qingyang didn't understand the meaning of "major", since the other party was an officer, since this "major" was before the name, it should be a position. He also couldn't figure out how big the official position of this "major" in the Haihan army was, but since the other party was a Haihan person, presumably the position should not be too low. At that moment, Li Qingyang spoke: "Can you call Zun Jia Major Chen?"

"Yes, Li Baihu. Chen Yixin also replied at the moment.

"Major Chen, I have heard that the Haihan militia has done many things to protect the territory and the people, and has never been against the imperial court, but has helped the imperial court to do a lot of relief to the victims, equality and banditry, I wonder if these rumors are true?" Li Qingyang is now thinking about how to get out safely, thinking about it, he feels that he still has to talk to the other party first.

Chen Yixin nodded and said: "What you said is basically right, since we Haihan settled in Yazhou, we have been committed to helping the people live a better life, Yazhou, a place where birds did not in the past, is now the most prosperous commercial port on Qiongzhou Island, and more than half of the credit is indeed due to us......

"But you didn't pay taxes to the Ming court!" Li Qingyang couldn't help but interrupt Chen Yixin's words: "Yazhou is the land of the Ming Dynasty!"

"But most of the money we earn is still used by the people of Daming. Chen Yixin retorted unhurriedly: "In the past two years, there have been many natural disasters in the Liangguang area, and Li Baihu must have heard of it in Nanjing, after all, you are also the eyes and ears of the imperial court! Last year alone, after our rescue, more than 20,000 Guangdong disaster victims found a livelihood in the Sanya area of Yazhou! I wonder if Li Baihu has an idea of how much silver it will cost to rescue so many people? Just to transport so many people from the vicinity of Guangzhou to Qiongzhou, the freight required is more than 10,000 taels of silver, and if this silver is handed over to the government, how much of it do you think can be used to help the victims?"

"Aren't these victims all working for you Haihan people? The freight and other expenses you have spent will naturally be earned back by them!" Li Qingyang was not stupid, and was not fooled by Chen Yixin's remarks.

"But if we don't save them, no one will save them, and they will either become dead bodies on the side of the road, or they will become bandits and robbers who cause trouble among the people. A large part of the reason for this is that the government has not been able to provide disaster relief, and many people have had to take refuge in local forces that have the ability to get food in order to survive. I'm sure you've heard the story of how we exterminated thousands of bandits there last year when you were in Lijiazhuang, but at least half of those bandits were civilians who had to survive in order to survive. If it weren't for the fact that we had transported 20,000 victims from Liangguang, how many new bandits would have sprang up to make a rebellion? If the expenses could be earned back from work, then why didn't the imperial court and the government save these poor people who had no other way out?"

Li Qingyang really wanted to charge this hairy boy who didn't know what to do with "arguing about the government and politics" again, but he also knew very well that now was not the time to take advantage of his tongue, so he had to think of getting the other party's understanding first, so he held back the anger in his heart and said: "The affairs of the court are just a small hundred households, and I dare not discuss them." However, since you have always taken good care of the people of the Ming Dynasty, why do you want to imprison us and other officials? There is probably some misunderstanding in this!"

Chen Yixin smiled and said: "Misunderstanding? I also think it should be a misunderstanding, but it's not us who we have, but you who have misunderstood us." What kind of yamen is Jinyiwei, God knows, you know and I know, what is the purpose of you trying to sneak into Sanya in such a disguise? Don't you tell me that I want to go there to work for us!"

"I was only ordered to go to Sanya to investigate a case, and it has nothing to do with you. Since Chen Yixin picked his words so clearly, Li Qingyang could only find a plausible excuse to respond.

However, Chen Yixin obviously didn't accept his statement, shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with us directly? Then why don't you say hello to us? Anyway, Sanya is also an area under our jurisdiction, even if we want to arrest anyone, it won't be easier for us to help than for you to do it yourself?"

"This is a court secret, and it should not be leaked. Li Qingyang couldn't think of a better excuse for a while.

Chen Yixin was about to speak, when someone knocked on the door and came in and whispered a few words to him. After listening to this, Chen Yixin said to Li Qingyang: "Li Baihu, the things hidden in your luggage have been searched, do you still have to argue forcibly?"
