Chapter 9 of the East China Sea Volume I

Chapter IX, Section 1

After the dark day, the United Boundary Engineering Bureau built a railway station in the East China Sea, and the station was built in the northern part of the United Boundary, so it was also called the North Station, but in fact there was only such a railway station in the United Border.

At this time, the court of Donghua was located in Jianye, so the United Boundary Engineering Bureau built a railway from Jianye to Lianjie. With the restoration of economy and order, the Donghua League itself built a railway from Jianye to Yanshan Daimyo's Mansion, and the Eagle League and the Holy Seadon jointly built a railway from Lianjie to Jiaozhou Lianhuafu.

Later, some branch lines were built around the trunk railway from Yanshan to Jiaozhou, and the railway line became the most prosperous area of the East China League.

The last train from Jianye to Lianjie was at 11 o'clock at night. At this time, there were no more people at the train station, only sporadic pick-up waiting in the pick-up hall. Outside the train station, there are a few small vendors selling night spots, and some people from nearby inns and inns are waiting to get some business.

Lin Jue stood in a corner of the pick-up hall in a white suit, a little eye-catching. Liu Tai, dressed in a gray robe, stood beside him.

"You're too conspicuous. Liu Tai was a little dissatisfied in his voice.

"Lord Liu, don't worry, it's so late, no one will pay attention to us. Lin Jueman didn't care.

"There are many people in the Lianjie now, so we still have to be careful. Liu Tai seemed to be a little unsettled.

It stands to reason that Liu Tai is just an agent of the Joint Border Inspection Bureau, and even if he is the identity of the Military Investigation Bureau behind him, he is just an operational team leader. In Donghua, the title of an adult is very particular, and he must be a high-grade official. To be able to be called an adult, at least at the level of a ten-grade sub-department.

But Liu Tai's address to adults is peaceful.

Station announcements have begun to inform trains of arrival, and the doors from the reception hall to the platform have opened.

"Lord Liu went to pick up people first, and I drove the car to the platform. Lin Jue said.

Liu Tai nodded and walked briskly towards the platform.

The train gradually came to a halt on the platform, and the steam from the front of the locomotive filled the platform like a white mist.

Liu Tai trotted all the way on the platform, looking for the number of the first-class carriage.

At the door of the first-class carriage, there were several bodyguards dressed in gray tweed, and when they saw Liu Tai running from the white fog, they stretched out their hands to stop him.

"Is Master Wu here?" asked Liu Tai cautiously.

"Let him come. "Someone in the carriage said.

There were two people sitting in the box of the first-class car, one was a tall, thin man with a gloomy face, and the other was a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body. Liu Tai bowed to the middle-aged man: "Master Wu, it's too late to humble your position." ”

Wu Daren is Wu Yao, the deputy director of the Executive Department of the Internal Security Department. The Department of Internal Security is subordinate to the Yushitai of the Donghua League, and is an investigation and security agency established by Chen Liguo, the imperial historian, on the order of Zheng Zongzheng, the head of the Donghua League. The Department of Internal Guard, along with the Military Investigation Bureau, is the effective department under Zheng Zongzheng to carry out secret missions.

In order to prevent such a powerful agency from becoming dominant, the two institutions were set up to check each other, and each competed in the course of carrying out its tasks, so that although there was occasional cooperation between them, most of the time they were distinct. In the distribution of the powerful resources of the East China League, the disputes between them are even more inevitable, and there are open and secret battles from time to time. However, Zheng Zongzheng is happy to see it happen.

This is Lin Jue has already driven a Dodge car onto the platform, followed by a Jeep from Baihutang. Liu Tai beckoned him to the box and introduced Wu Yao to him, Lin Jue bowed to Wu Yao, and said, "My master is waiting in the mansion to pick up the wind for the adults. ”

Wu Yao smiled: "You're polite, you're polite." He asked Liu Tai again: "You came to pick me up, does Lord Xu know?"

Liu Taidao: "I am the deputy chief of the third section of the Executive Department of the Internal Health Department, and I am here to pick up my own chief, so I don't need to report to Lord Xu." ”

The two of them laughed.

Liu Tai, as the deputy section chief of the Department of Internal Defense, had been lurking in the Operations Department of the Military Investigation Bureau a long time ago, and Xu Zhanpeng and Shen Yaoxian knew nothing about it. Liu Tai, a long-term lurker at this level, is ready to make great achievements. And this round-up of Chiqi Menzhang Guoshou is naturally a great achievement, of course, the Department of Internal Security cannot let the Military Investigation Bureau monopolize the credit, and Liu Tai's chess piece just plays a role.

In front of the Dodge car, Lin Jue respectfully opened the car door for Wu Yao, but Wu Yao did not get into the car, and turned sideways to let the tall and thin man next to him get on first. Lin Jue saw that the tall and thin man was carrying a slender box in his hand, and reached out to help him carry it and put it in the trunk, but he was refused. After the thin and tall man sat down in the carriage, Wu Yao walked around to the seat on the other side and waved his hand to go.

When the car arrived at Zhang's mansion, the gate of the courtyard of the mansion had already opened. More than a dozen bodyguards from the White Tiger Hall were scattered throughout the gate and courtyard. The car stopped in front of the foyer, and Zhang Xiaotian had already greeted him with a few of his subordinates.

A few people walked into the hall, Zhang Xiaotian hugged his fists to Wu Yao and said: "Master Wu came to the East China Sea, you can enjoy the light and sit in my small place, Zhang's Mansion is really full of brilliance!"

Wu Yao also returned the salute with a fist: "Hall Master Zhang is polite, this time the Internal Security Division came to the East China Sea Alliance on business, and many places still rely on Hall Master Zhang." ”

Zhang Xiaotian didn't even dare to say that he looked at the thin man beside Wu Yao. Wu Yao hurriedly said: "This is the master of Kuaiyi Hall invited by Director Xu, Mr. Yang." ”

"Mr. Yang didn't dare to be, call me Xiao Yang. The thin man bowed his hand to Zhang Xiaotian.

Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help but be surprised.

Kuaiyitang is a very mysterious killer organization in the rivers and lakes, charging to kill, and the asking price is extremely high, but it is said that it has never missed. Kuaiyitang is the meaning of pleasure and hatred.

Kuaiyitang Xiao Yang, also known as Quick Rob Xiao Yang, is said to be a sniper of the special forces of the East China League in his early years. Hurry up and grab Xiao Yang on the rivers and lakes, almost the same name as Hades.

"It turned out to be Mr. Yang in person, disrespectful and disrespectful. Zhang Xiaotian hurriedly surrendered his hand.

Xiao Yang said with a smile: "Hall Master Zhang has been raised, but I am just a little accurate in shooting." ”

Wu Yao said on the side: "Kuaiyitang and the Department of Internal Health have cooperated a lot, and Mr. Yang has really helped a lot. ”

Everyone sat down in the living room, and the people served tea and supper. Zhang Xiaotian pointed to the three people behind him and introduced: "This is my disciple, the top three apprentices, Lin Jue has seen everyone, and he often takes care of the business of the White Tiger Hall outside." My eldest disciple Gao Li usually helps by my side, and the second disciple Zhao Yue just came back from Yingzhou a few days ago. If Lord Wu uses them these days, just say hello. ”

The three of them bowed to Wu Yao, and Wu Yao said to Zhang Xiaotian: "Hall Master Zhang is too polite, we don't want to cause too much trouble to the White Tiger Hall when we come this time, as long as Hall Master Zhang can provide us with a more private place to stay, so that we can stay for two or three days." In addition, around the foothold, please also put a few hidden piles to help control the wind. ”

"There is no problem with this, I received a call from Master Wu in the afternoon, and it has been arranged. Zhang Xiaotian said.

Wu Yao nodded and said, "Thank you so much." The Department of Internal Defense's current visit to the Joint Sector on official business actually has something to do with the Military Investigation Bureau. ”

Wu Yao said and took a sip of tea: "Although they are all for the Donghua League, sometimes the Military Investigation Bureau and the Internal Security Department are not the same number, and the White Tiger Hall helped us in the United Realm this time, and I am also worried about whether it will cause some inconvenience to Hall Master Zhang." ”

Zhang Xiaotian smiled: "The White Tiger Hall is on the rivers and lakes, and what is particular about righteousness is a righteousness. Everyone is a friend, and it is natural for a friend to do a little favor when he has something. I don't think the Military Investigation Bureau will be so stingy. Speaking of this, he snorted again: "Even if the Military Investigation Bureau wants to find trouble, on the ground of the East China Sea, Zhang is not necessarily afraid of anyone." ”

Wu Yao said: "Hall Master Zhang is in Jiaqing and Songjiang in the East China Sea, but he is too worried. ”

"This is the care of the Wu people. Zhang Xiaotian hurriedly said, "I still have a reluctant request, I want to ask Master Wu and Mr. Yang for a favor." ”

Wu Yao said: "I have no problem here, Mr. Yang may not be free this time." ”

Xiao Yang was holding a cookie in his hand, and when he heard the words, he put it on the plate and said, "What is the matter, Hall Master Zhang might as well talk about it." ”

Zhang Xiaotian said: "Recently, there have been a lot of conflicts between my Tangkou and the Blue Dragon Society, and it stands to reason that the rivers and lakes are in trouble, but Lao Du is a little unrighteous this time, and he privately colluded with the Lianjie Inspection Bureau to find me trouble." It doesn't matter if I suffer a little loss here, but if I deduct the goods that Wujiao will have here, people won't agree. ”

Wu Yao said: "What about the hall master Zhang's preparation." ”

Zhang Xiaotian said: "The news from the Yin Yang Sect seems to be cooperating with the security station of the Daotai Yamen tomorrow to do a security investigation." In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the Military Investigation Bureau that wants to arrest people. Since the dogs of the Blue Dragon Society are busy, then I plan to teach them a lesson. If it goes well, the day will be settled. If it doesn't go well, in case the scale of the fight between the two sides is large and the time is long, the government will also ask Lord Wu and the Internal Security Department to sell face and dredge it. ”

Wu Yao said: "It's easy to talk about things on the official side, what I think is that the Qinglong will be entrenched in the East China Sea, and the power is not trivial, within one day, can you settle down." ”

Zhang Xiaotian said: "It's mainly a few big guys, and the eyeliner we installed has also been put on for a while, and the number of roads is basically clear." But if you really do it, there is still a place to borrow from Mr. Yang. ”

Wu Yao said: "Mr. Yang came to the East China Sea this time to help the Internal Security Division, and from half past eleven noon tomorrow, he will not be free, and the previous time will depend on Mr. Yang's own arrangement." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and waved his hand to Liu Tai: "Let's go up and rest first, let Hall Master Zhang and Mr. Yang have a good talk." ”
