Although such inspection procedures are cumbersome and will greatly affect the efficiency of the cargo handled at the terminal, under the current situation, the Ministry of Security and the Police Department are unable to come up with a more effective way to carry out the inspection...... Until more detailed information is obtained, the relevant departments can only use this slightly primitive and clumsy way to strengthen local intelligence and defense work.

This scene is not limited to the wharf of the Sanya River Port, in fact, in the nearby Shengli Port, the relevant authorities have made similar arrangements, and even the Iron Furnace Port, which specializes in docking salt ships, has been notified to focus on the personnel who go to the place and try to stay.

In addition, the Lijiazhuang migrant transfer station in the mainland and Wanshan Port, which undertakes some cargo transit tasks, have also received notices from the base camp, asking them to strengthen the investigation of foreign personnel in the near future.

"If this kind of thing doesn't happen, the Executive Committee won't realize the importance of our intelligence agency!" He Xi took the towel handed over by Guo Xiaobao and wiped his face, and said stupidly: "Last year, I made a report asking the Executive Committee to expand the establishment of the Ministry of Security, but this matter was delayed until the end of Hue this year. Now that all the new recruits are still training, there are only a few people who can be used in the field, how can they be arrested?"

Yu Yao, who was sitting next to him, responded: "If you don't have enough manpower, then transfer people from the guard company first, if it's not enough, then transfer the people who protect the Golden Shield, and you should be able to get together two or three hundred people." ”

"There's no one on the Golden Shield side for the time being. He Xi shook his head and said: "I just went to ask today, and I took over a big job over there, escorting a batch of goods to Shaoguan, the round-trip journey is four hundred miles, and I just left the day before yesterday." The trek from Guangzhou to the past is estimated to not be able to come back in less than ten days, so there is no need to count on them recently. The guards even took half of these people to Panyu by Xiao Liang, and the rest of the people still have to watch their families, how dare I be transferred out to work in the field casually?"

"Don't just complain. Isn't there another Gong Seventeen? This guy can be used as a team by himself, not to mention that you don't seem to have anyone available. Yu Yao retorted with a smile.

"Gong Seventeen is capable, but there is only one! If there are ten or eight Gong Seventeen, I don't have to complain. He Xi reluctantly argued.

Gong 17 was a person who was named by He Xi to come over to the military after the Battle of Lijiazhuang last year, because he himself joined the army with art, and he had made military exploits in the army and received commendations. Therefore, both combat ability and loyalty are worthy of trust. Before the naval battle with Liu Xiang at the mouth of the Pearl River last year, it was Gong 17 who led people to attack in all directions. He uprooted a number of hidden pile dens arranged by Liu Xiang near Guangzhou, and also seized nearly 100,000 taels of gold and silver property from the pirate group, which can be said to have laid an excellent foundation for the victory of the naval battle in the future.

He Xi was also very satisfied with Gong XVII's performance, and in the written report submitted to the Executive Committee after the operation, he did not hesitate to call him "an object that can be focused on training", and applied for a personal third-class merit for him. This time, after the intelligence agency of the Guangzhou Office got the news of Jinyiwei's operation, He Xi sent Gong 17 out again to collect and inquire about information among the people.

As one of the first batch of field personnel under the Ministry of Security, Gong Qiqi enjoyed even higher treatment than Lin Nan in the base camp. He is not only equipped with a single-shot pistol and some other agent equipment, but also has a certain command authority. The Field Service Team of the Guangzhou Office during its mission. All of them were under the full command of Gong XVII.

When He Xi was complaining about the lack of manpower in the Guangzhou Office, Gong Qizheng was leading a team of people to lurk outside a wine store somewhere in the city of Guangzhou. Gong Qiqi stood in the shadow of the eaves, slowly fanning the wind with his straw hat, and glanced at the wine shop opposite from time to time. In front of him was a load of firewood, which was also a prop he used to disguise his identity - pretending to be a peasant who went to the city to sell firewood.

Although the name of field command sounds good, in fact, the total number of field personnel in the Guangzhou Office is only eight, so that they often have to turn to the security company of the Guangzhou Office. Last year, Gong 17 led a team to copy Liu Xiang's underground silver vault in Xin'an County. At that time, because of the lack of manpower, people had to be transferred from Lijiazhuang to transport this batch of silver. However, because of today's operation, because of the high level of secrets, Gong Qiqi did not ask for people from the guard company in advance, but only brought people from the field service team to dispatch.

In addition to Gong Qiqi, several other people pretended to be passers-by, vendors selling groceries, beggars, etc., and watched the liquor store together. In addition, a wagon with a covered carriage was parked on the back street. According to the information that Gong Qiqi had obtained before this, this liquor shop was actually one of Jinyiwei's secret strongholds, and it was directly under the jurisdiction of Nanzhen Fusi - this news was worth a full five hundred taels of silver, and He Xi signed the order without saying a word, if Gong Qiqi finally failed to dig out something of value from here, then it would probably be difficult for him to explain to He Xi what the purpose of this silver was.

Gong XVII has been monitoring here for two days, and he thinks that if Nanjing's Nanzhen Fusi comes. Maybe it will appear in this place. However, because he got the news too late, he couldn't be sure whether the people from Nanjing had already been here, so he could only be a dead horse doctor, hoping to monitor this place through Guò to obtain more detailed information.

I have to say that the official intelligence agency of this era is actually still strict and lacks vigilance in the intelligence struggle, and the people in this wine shop still have some unconcealable public personnel atmosphere, Gong Qiqi has seen several times in the past two days that Xiao Er in the store is not familiar with the business of selling alcohol, and the consequence of him sending people into the store yesterday to deliberately make things difficult for Xiao Er turned out to be the result of being scolded by Xiao Er.

This kind of very unprofessional appearance basically confirms the information that Gong Qiqi spent money to buy before, of course, the Jinyi guards disguised as ordinary people in the wine shop probably never thought that someone would be so bold as to dare to spy on them, and they lacked defense against this kind of anti-surveillance.

Since the personnel of the field service team were really limited and there was no way to investigate more places by casting a net, Gong Qiqi decided to take a risk this time and concentrate the strength of the field team to monitor this place. If he is lucky enough to bet on the right one, then maybe this is what he will do in the future.

Seeing that it was noon, Gong Qiqi took out the steamed bun wrapped in cloth from his arms, broke it and ate it little by little. This kind of fixed-point monitoring is not particularly large in consumption, but the hot weather has become the biggest enemy, even if Gong Qiqi has been standing under the eaves to shade, he has been sweating a lot for half a day. However, he did not dare to be distracted in the slightest, because this operation was very likely to affect the direction of his future career, and the importance was incomparable to that of previous field missions.

Although Gong Qiqi was born and grew up in the Ming Dynasty, he really didn't have much awe for the Ming court, let alone a lot of loyalty. If it hadn't been oppressed by the government. He will not be ruined, and he will end up in exile in Victory Port. He knew very well how much power these overseas visitors he had worked for were in his hands, not to mention dealing with a few Jinyi guards, even if he wanted to send troops to attack Guangzhou City one day, he would not be shocked. Therefore, when He Xi relieved him before the action, he comforted He Xi that he did not need to worry, and at the same time expressed his loyalty by the way.

Gong Qiqi already had a case in his heart, if there was really a Jinyi guard from Nanjing. Then we have to try our best to keep them all in Guangzhou City. As for whether it is an assassination or a kidnapping, it depends on the specific situation.

When Gong Seventeen took out the second steamed bun and gnawed it halfway. He noticed several suspicious figures on the street. These five people are also dressed as ordinary people, but Gong Qiqi can feel from the way they walk that these people should be practitioners, and they are obviously much more stable than ordinary people, and their eyes are sharp, looking left and right along the way, obviously observing the surrounding environment very professionally.

After the five people walked to the door of the wine shop, they did not rush in directly, but stopped at the door for a while, three people entered first, and two stood at the door and looked around. I followed. After Gong Qiqi noticed that these people had entered, the shopkeeper soon invited out the only two customers in the store, and then began to close.

This was the first time that the liquor store had closed early since the start of the surveillance operation, and it was clear that the identities of the five visitors who had entered the store were somewhat unusual, and the only thing Gong XVII could think of was to link them to Nanzhen Fusi's actions.

Gong Qiqi turned his head and made a not-so-obvious gesture towards the corner of the street, and immediately a passer-by swayed over and asked, "Dude." How do you sell this load of firewood?"

Gong Qiqi lowered his voice and said, "Hurry back to transfer people, just say that the right idea may have arrived!"

The passer-by raised his voice and said, "What? You want three coins of silver? You poor ghost wants money crazy!"

Gong Qiqi watched his companion turn the corner, and then returned his attention to the wine shop opposite. From here, I rushed to the Guangzhou Office outside the city, looked for He Xi to apply for an order, and then rushed back with the people of the guard company, which took about half an hour. The only thing Gong XVII could do was pray that the gang wouldn't leave too soon. Otherwise, with the few people he is commanding now, he may not be able to keep these customers in the wine shop.

Gong XVII held the straw hat in front of him, reached into his arms with one hand, confirmed the flintlock pistol inserted in the pouch under his armpit, and then probed the dagger at his waist. Touching the handle of the weapon made him feel a little more steady, although he also had kung fu, but he was not a master who could fight ten against one. If you are not sure of the opponent's strength, it is better to use the weapon directly. He clearly remembered what He Xi had said in the training class that when performing field tasks, he must disarm the opponent's combat ability in the fastest way, and when he can use weapons to solve problems, he should not rely too much on fists.

He was not the only one armed with a gun in this field operation, and a team of eight people was issued a total of four pistols, and if used properly, it would not be difficult to defeat a team of five. The real problem is that the loud gunfire of the flintlock pistol cannot be concealed, and if a few shots are fired during the operation, it will most likely attract the defenders of the city and the yamen to arrest them, and how to quickly get out after the action is also a very delicate matter.

Although the location of this liquor store is not in the middle of the city, there are still many residents around, and there is a great possibility that the street will cause chaos, and once it is noticed by the government, the purpose of this operation will actually be half of the failure - He Xi hopes to quietly solve the group of people sent to Qiongzhou by the Fusi of Nanzhen, instead of making a big news full of storms in the city.

This undoubtedly put forward extremely high requirements for the field team, and Gong Qiqi thought about it for a long time, but he didn't figure out how to complete the task without startling the snake. Just when Gong Qiqi was very anxious, the partner sent back to ask for reinforcements had already returned, and he had brought back a person who should not have been in this place in the first place.

As soon as Gong Qiqi saw this person, he immediately sent out a secret signal to let people take over his task, and then picked up the firewood and quickly left his original position.

Gong Qiqi carried the firewood around the streets and alleys for a while before he connected with his partner who rushed back: "What about the reinforcements? Why did you bring outsiders here?"

The man hurriedly explained: "The guards came with three carriages, and more than a dozen people, all parked in the courtyard of the Furuifeng business on West Street...... As for Young Master Li, it was the boss who asked him to bring him over. ”

The "boss" he said in his mouth naturally refers to He Xi, the big boss of the intelligence agency, and as for Young Master Li, it is Li Nai, the third young master of "Fu Ruifeng".

Li Nai now spends at least half of the year hanging out with He Xi and others in the Guangzhou Office, and Gong Qiqi naturally knows him. Although there was a difference between respect and inferiority, Gong Qiqi still couldn't help but complain: "Third Young Master, I'm doing things now, it's not a fun time!

Li Nai shook his head and said, "You don't even know what I'm doing and want to drive me away?"

"Help?" Gong Qiqi said suspiciously, "Does the third young master know what we are doing?"

"Yes, your boss told me. Li Nai replied unhurriedly: "Isn't it just that there are a few people with ill intentions who are planning to sneak into Sanya? You are just thinking about how you can control them quietly, right?"

"That's roughly the ......" Gong Qiqi knew that this was indeed He Xi who revealed the inside story to him, it seemed that Li Nai was really not bragging, but he didn't believe that this young scholar, who could only pick up a pen and write, could be of any help to this operation.

"I know you have guns, but if you shoot in the city of Guangzhou, even if you kill these people, things will make a big fuss, and your boss doesn't want to make a fuss about it, so I'm here to help you. Li Nai said triumphantly.

Gong Qiqi couldn't help but ask, "May I ask the third young master, what kind of help are you going to do?"
