In order to solve the problem as much as possible, the military also gave enough support, not only ordered the head of the Danzhou garrison to cooperate with the Ministry of Security as much as possible, but also asked the navy to dispatch the "Lightning" fast sailing ship to transport them directly from Sanya to Danzhou Bay. It was the first time for Li Qingyang to take this black-tech sailing ship from another time and space, and his speed was so fast that he was simply dumbfounded - he set off in the early morning of the same day and arrived at Danzhou Bay at night, nearly twice as fast as an ordinary Chinese sailing ship.

With such a high speed, it only takes about seven or eight days to complete the long voyage from Nanjing to Sanya, and if it is an ordinary merchant ship of the Ming Dynasty, it will basically take about a month to reach the destination. Even if the warship travels day and night, it will take at least twenty days. Although Li Qingyang is not a combat unit, Jinyiwei is also half a soldier, so he naturally understands how much this kind of sea travel efficiency will be of great help to the operation. Li Qingyang believes that in addition to the disadvantage of shipborne artillery fire, this gap in speed is probably also an important reason.

Of course, they did not come openly under the banner of the Haihan Ministry of Security, but stationed in Danzhou in the name of the inspection team of the Haihan Ministry of Commerce, and their task was to inspect the local market and trade conditions. This identity can give them a certain cover for the investigation work carried out locally, and reduce the chance of attracting the attention of those who care about it.

Wang Baisuo and Lin Nan knew each other, but Li Qingyang was the first time he had seen him, and he had only heard that there was a specially appointed Jinyi guard officer in the establishment of the Ministry of Security, and today he finally saw a living person. Both of them used to work for the Ming court, but now they have switched camps and joined the Haihan Security Department, and they can't help but feel a little embarrassed when they see each other.

Lin Nan saw the reaction of these two people in his heart, and he didn't say anything. He was one of the first veterans of the militia to enlist in 1627, and his background was much more modest than the two former Ming civil servants who joined halfway, so he was promoted more quickly. Although he has not yet been assigned to the local level to take charge of the work, his authority is far higher than that of Li Qingyang and Wang Baisuo, and even if he is assigned to the local area in the future, the area under his jurisdiction will probably not be limited to one city.

This time, Hao Wanqing sent Lin Nan to lead the team, which was also intended to support him to ascend to the top, as long as the task was completed well this time, then he would have better capital for his future promotion. By the way, I also asked Lin Nan to supervise the process of Li Qingyang and Wang Baisuo's case, especially Li Qingyang, who had just officially joined the Haihan camp, and his performance in this case was likely to affect his future future. If he has any nostalgia for Jinyiwei or an unstable position in the course of handling the case, then what awaits him is likely to be a return to the past days of house arrest.

These three people have been in the Ministry of Security for a period of time, and they also know that the most important thing for the Ministry of Security is work efficiency, so they didn't wait to return to Danzhou City, and on the way back to the city, they held a temporary meeting on the slightly bumpy carriage.

Li Qingyang first spent a stick of incense and concisely briefed Wang Baisuo on the current situation and the purpose of the special service team sent by the base camp to Danzhou to investigate the case.

Wang Baisuo was also a little shocked after hearing this: "This escaped Jinyi Wei Deputy Qianhu may be hiding somewhere in Danzhou City right now?"

Li Qingyang nodded and said: "With the method of Jinyiwei, in a dangerous situation, the first thing to do is to hide your whereabouts, ensure your safety first, and then try to get out or fight back." This one of Zhao Ye's only subordinates had also died at sea a few days ago, and his wise thing to do now was not to act rashly and wait for a reply from his superiors. ”

Wang Baisuo said: "We don't know where he is located, let alone his physical characteristics, if he already has a disguised identity and doesn't take any actions beyond the norm, it will not be easy to find out." ”

Lin Nan said: "The Ministry of Security also considered this possibility, so after General Hao discussed with the head of the Executive Committee, we decided to unite multiple departments to act together, and at the same time search for this big fish that slipped through the net, we also further promoted the household registration system of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Danzhou." ”

The so-called household registration system has actually been implemented in Sanya for nearly three years. In addition to being able to count the population of the areas under its rule, this system is also of great help to law and order. If you want to operate in the area under the rule of Haihan, you either have the identity certificate of a naturalized citizen, or you have to go through temporary entry and exit procedures, and the scope of activities of the non-naturalized floating population will be greatly restricted, which also greatly reduces the probability of the occurrence of wandering crimes.

A similar household registration system also exists in the Ming Dynasty, but compared with the scientific and easy implementation of management, it is naturally far inferior to Haihan, who copied mature experience from later generations. As the rule of the Haihan in northern Qiongbei became more and more solid, various prefectures and counties began to gradually implement it. Of course, the local people will not simply advertise that this is a means for the Han to consolidate their rule, but inform the people that since there may still be some pirates lurking in the local area, identity registration is one of the best means to prevent bad actors from hiding their whereabouts.

When Haihan's image of "consistently correct" gradually took root in the minds of the people, many policies had to be promoted, and the resistance was correspondingly reduced. The civil affairs department's household registration system may not be able to do everything at the registration stage, but with the gradual improvement of other measures, those who have not registered with Haihan will find that their lives will be full of all kinds of inconvenient troubles, such as taking a boat to other places, children at home going through school procedures, and funerals, all of which must have the identity registration procedures approved by Haihan to complete the work. And to avoid these troubles, all the people can do is to cooperate with the Haihan people to register the population.

The Ministry of Security believes that Jinyiwei, who was transferred from Nanjing, has no roots in Danzhou, and it is difficult for him to impersonate Danzhou natives without a trace, and that there is also a household registration of the government that can be checked against each other, and that the scope of the investigation can be narrowed by several times by carrying out population registration, and the limited force can be used to target more targeted targets -- those floating population from outside Danzhou.

Although this thing sounds very troublesome, but the implementation is not very difficult, the scale of the floating population in this era is really very limited, such as Danzhou, a local city, 40,000 or 50,000 people, of which more than ninety percent are local residents, and the identity of these residents in the archives of the Danzhou government is also registered, a little decent family can also be checked by genealogy, so the identity of outsiders is not so easy to be covered up here.

After Lin Nan explained the direction of this investigation, Wang Baisuo nodded again and again: "The leaders are still thoughtful, as long as a census of the local population is conducted, there are probably only a thousand people left who need to be investigated." No matter how well the brocade guard is hidden, it will be difficult for him not to show his feet after we narrow down the scope of the investigation. ”

Jin Yiwei can do thousands of households, and there is some kung fu under his hands, at least the standard embroidered spring knife has to make a decent routine knife technique. For example, Li Qingyang, a hundred households, has also practiced sword skills for many years, although he is not a master, but it is definitely more than enough to deal with ordinary people. There are many ways to distinguish the difference between a practitioner and an ordinary person - for example, to see if there are calluses in the palm of the hand that have been sharpened by holding the handle of the knife all year round.

Among this limited foreign population, the proportion of Lian Jiazi is only smaller than that of the illiterate people in Danzhou, and when the time comes, if there is a mistake, it will definitely be able to turn over this time bomb lurking in Danzhou.

The three of them roughly agreed on the means and direction of handling the case on the carriage back to the city, and when they returned to the city, Wang Baisuo immediately took them to see Zhang Xin non-stop.

Zhang Xin's side has also received a telegram notice from the Executive Committee, and although it is not so convenient for him to directly intervene in the intelligence front, he is supportive of taking the opportunity of investigating and handling cases to further promote the household registration system in the local area. At that moment, Zhang Xin asked Yu Tiezhu, the head of the local garrison, to find the management committee, and then the military, civil affairs, and security agencies sat down to negotiate the handling of the case.

A day later, several notices of the Danzhou Management Committee were posted at the gates of the city and in the conspicuous places on the streets of the city, which roughly stated that the management committee would conduct a census and register the local resident population of Danzhou in the near future in order to eliminate the remnants of pirates who were still lurking in the local area. Those who are not local people in Danzhou need to take the initiative to register their identity at the household registration office under the jurisdiction of the management committee within three days, and those who do not take the initiative to handle it within the time limit will be punished as suspects, and once found, they will be punished with more than three days and less than 30 days of hard labor.

The census inside the city began today, but many of the seowon outside the city have not been affected for the time being. For example, Zhongming Academy, where Zhang Qianzhi stayed, was still in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere at this time.

Zhang Qianzhi has been successfully infiltrated for six days, during which time in addition to completing the courses of the academy, he is also keeping an eye out for unidentified people in the academy. And according to his observations, the answer is yes.

The back entrance of the academy is a large vegetable field, and it is bordered by the nearby wilderness and forests. Due to manpower conditions, the surveillance force arranged by the Ministry of Security did not set up a point in this direction, and Zhang Qianzhi noticed that at least two early mornings, Huang Zixing hurriedly left the back door of the academy, walked through the vegetable field into the nearby mountains and forests, and returned a moment later with one or two packages. If there is no treasure buried in that mountain forest, it is that there are people in the mountain forest waiting for him to hand over these packages.

Zhang Qianzhi didn't know what was in the package, he had tried to go to the study where Huang Zixing had received him again, but found that there were people outside the courtyard all the time, and the students of the academy would not be allowed to enter at will.

Zhang Qianzhi took the opportunity to buy daily necessities, entered the city and got in touch with Wang Baisuo, and informed him of his reconnaissance results in the past few days.

Wang Baisuo shook his head and said: "If we go in directly and search hard, no matter whether we can find something or not, it will have a very bad impact on the Danzhou cultural circle. ”

Zhang Qianzhi said: "You might as well transfer some more manpower and arrange it to be controlled in the mountains and forests behind the academy, if someone comes to connect with Huang Zixing, we can get the stolen person!"

Wang Baisuo smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't transfer people, but now there are not enough people at all." The base camp sent a commissioner to investigate another case, which was much stricter in nature than Huang Zixing's. At present, most of the surveillance forces currently deployed outside the academy will have to be transferred back to the city to assist in the investigation. ”

Zhang Qianzhi frowned and said, "What about me?"

"If you lurk for half a month, if there is still no progress, then find an opportunity to get out without a trace!" Wang Baisuo replied helplessly.

Standing in his position, it is indeed a little difficult to make a decision, Huang Zixing must have a problem, but his problem does not seem to be particularly strict in nature at present, at best it is just a reactionary thought, and there is no substantive action, and the situation detected by Zhang Qianzhi does not explain anything. But this is also the scope of the responsibility of the Ministry of Security, and a lot of work has been done before, and Zhang Qianzhi has also entered the academy along the way, so it's a pity to let it go.

If it weren't for the urgency of this new case brought by Lin Nan and Li Qingyang, Wang Baisuo would be very happy to follow Zhang Qianzhi's advice and continue to send more people to control the surroundings of the academy. However, the new case was personally supervised by Mr. Hao of the headquarters, and the head of the Executive Committee, Tao, also gave relevant instructions, and this important process could not be the same as the Huang Zixing case, and Wang Baisuo could only tilt his limited resources to a more important party.

Zhang Qianzhi has nothing to blame for Wang Baisuo's arrangement, he has been by He Xi's side for so long, so he naturally understands the code of conduct of the Ministry of Security, which is more important, he can also distinguish priorities, and he will not be angry because the task he is performing is forcibly reduced. Since Wang Baisuo was willing to let him spend a little more time to continue the investigation, Zhang Qianzhi decided to find out as much as possible about Zhongming Academy. At least the character of Huang Zixing, Zhang Qianzhi has already determined that there is something wrong with him by intuition, and if he is not found out, Zhang Qianzhi will not be willing to leave Zhongming Academy.

Things were all in this way, Zhang Qianzhi had a meeting with Wang Baisuo in the city, and after returning to the academy, Huang Zixing sent someone to call him to the study. After Zhang Qianzhi came to Huang Zixing's study again, before he could start thinking about the other party's intentions, Huang Zixing took the initiative to ask: "Went into the city today?"

"The students went to buy some groceries. Zhang Qianzhi replied unhurriedly.

"Have you ever seen the notice posted at the city gate?" asked Huang Zixing again.

Zhang Qianzhi pretended to be disdainful and said: "Is that the notice posted by the so-called Haihan Management Committee? The students read it, but it was all nonsense, saying that they should count the situation of the local people. In the eyes of the students, this is simply a fox and a fake tiger, the affairs of the government, which round to get them to be troublesome!"
