Chapter 66: Infighting

Chen Zhutou did what he said, and began to arrange people to monitor Liu Sanduo on the same day. www.biquge.info He has been a head catcher for many years, and many of them listen to him, even if it weren't for these, many gangsters and gang figures on the street would have to give him face, and at this time he spoke, and everyone patted their chests and agreed.

As a result, Liu Sanduo began to be unlucky. As long as he goes out of the gate of the county office, there will be some random people who follow, and they don't dare to embarrass him directly, but they follow him wherever he goes.

In the restaurants and casinos he usually goes to, there are people staring at him intentionally or unintentionally. Even if they arrived at the county government, they were not clean, and the parents of many apprentices were originally local officials in Dinghai or even hunting fast, and they were already inextricably linked to Chen Zhutou, and they were also entrusted at this time, intentionally or unintentionally staring at Liu Sanduo's actions.

In later generations, there was a saying called cold violence, which was vividly expressed by these people, although they would not directly interfere with Liu Sanduo's actions, but the mental pressure on him was incomparable.

It's just that Liu Sanduo knows that he usually doesn't treat people to see him, and after the quarrel with Li Yingyuan, he understands that the English people will never stand up for themselves, so he can't help but eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and there is suffering. Even his backers avoided him, and they didn't dare to reveal their secrets because of this, and they didn't know how many times they scolded Liu Sanduo for his incompetent and troublesome behavior.

Originally, Liu Sanduo usually didn't have any friends, but at this time, everyone avoided him, for fear of getting into some trouble inexplicably. Those returnees looked at it coldly, thinking that they Dinghai people didn't need to come forward to deal with Dinghai people, and it had nothing to do with them.

However, things quickly spiraled out of control. Li Yingyuan originally wanted Chen Zhutou to find out Liu Sanduo's backers, but Chen Zhutou did it too seriously, and some of the military departments and interpreters and other people that Liu Sanduo had come into contact with were also suspected, and many people became Chen Zhutou's monitoring and arresting heads.

Li Yingyuan watched coldly, but his heart was bright. Most of these people who are suspected by Chen Zhutou are those who return from the sea, and few are local to Dinghai. In short, Liu Sanduo's surveillance and cold violence quickly infected many returnees, and even Huang Cheng and Guo Huaiyi were not spared, and as soon as they left the county office, they would be secretly watched by some people.

This time it stabbed the hornet's nest, and the returnees who originally felt that it had nothing to do with themselves were filled with indignation, thinking that it was the locals of Dinghai who followed Liu Sanduo's reason to deal with themselves, and this was indeed the case.

These dependents from other places have been in the English for a long time, know more English, have nothing to do with the locals, are trusted by the English, and hold many important and oily positions.

The local dependents led by Chen Zhutou include those who joined later, although they themselves also have a lot of infighting, but they are the most unaccustomed to the behavior of the returnees who eat alone, and feel that the other party is blocking their way and taking away some of the benefits that belong to them.

It is the tradition of the Ming Dynasty for the locals to exclude outsiders, and the local dependents of Dinghai are numerous and powerful, and they have deep connections in the local area, taking advantage of the geographical advantages and people. It's just that they know that they are not very trusted by the English, so they usually don't dare to show it too much, so they need a person who is especially trusted by the English to take the lead.

But Li Yingyuan's incident gave them a chance. On the surface, this incident was a private feud between Li Yingyuan and Liu Sanduo, but under the operation of several local leaders led by Chen Zhutou, it turned into a struggle between Li Yingyuan and all the returnees, wanting to see how the English people reacted.

Li Yingyuan knew that the English would not interfere in such a matter. When the English first arrived, they believed in the returnees because they had just arrived and lacked trust in the locals, but after a few months they began to gain confidence in their rule in Dinghai and felt that they could hold the scene down.

In this case, the natives, who were much larger than the returnees, would naturally become the target of the English to woo and exploit. Even if these are not mentioned, co-opting one faction to suppress the other faction and not allowing any power to grow bigger is also the usual method of the ruler, and the English from the land of Tessie are also very skilled in using this method.

In this way, because Li Yingyuan was considered to have a good relationship with Shepud, and was appreciated by Major Andrew and other officers, he was deliberately brought out by the local forces in Dinghai as a façade, but in his heart, he must have put out the calculation of being punished if the English people blamed.

When Chen Zhutou happily agreed to investigate Liu Sanduo and borrowed fifty taels of silver from Li Yingyuan, even if a tacit understanding was formed between the two sides, they would deal with the returnees together.

Li Yingyuan didn't say anything about this on the surface, but he was happy to see it. Li Yingyuan vaguely knew that Xie Xun had some ill intentions when he broke into the county office, even if there was no problem with Xie Xun's side, the British personnel stepped up the investigation later, suspecting that there were people who contacted Xie Xun among his people, which was also the right thing.

Therefore, Li Yingyuan must find a way to clear his suspicion and not let people suspect him. However, it seems simple and cumbersome to do this, and with Major Andrew's character, whether there is evidence or not, it is most likely to start with oneself first. Although I don't think there's any evidence out there, who knows what could go wrong.

In the end, the only way Li Yingyuan could think of was to do everything he could, and the more things he had, the better he would be, so that people could focus on the things he was doing, instead of chasing the matter of spies.

It was for this reason that Li Yingyuan deliberately entrusted Hai Dagui's family to bring a letter to his senior brother in Xiaoling, and he guessed that the English would definitely send someone to search the letter, and there was naturally no suspicious content on the letter.

Then provoked Liu Sanduo to fight, and later asked Chen Zhutou to investigate Liu Sanduo's backstage, thus triggering infighting between his dependents, etc., are only part of this strategy to clear suspicion, only in this way that others will not suspect him of stealing secrets.

As for who Liu Sanduo's backstage is, although it is also very important, it is not the most urgent thing at present. In short, Li Yingyuan just threw a stone into the calm lake, and as for whether this will cause a large number of fish to float up and cause the original calm to be completely broken, it is none of his business.

It was also when it was clear that it was Li Yingyuan and Liu Sanduo who were facing off, and it looked like there was a conflict between the medical department and the military department, but secretly it was the returnees faction and all the Dinghai people who were secretly fighting, and the mysterious person who was inexplicably involved in this matter finally couldn't sit still.

"Liu Sanduo is a fool, he really shouldn't think about using him to do something. The mysterious man pondered the current situation and thought angrily: "I have long said that this Li Yingyuan has some ways, don't provoke easily, but he wants to provoke people."

However, this Li Yingyuan is not a thing, bidding for things with Liu Sanduo at the auction, and actually took away a lot of good things, especially the most important golden black order also fell on him.

I really don't know if he knew some secrets, so he made a move, or if he only inserted it because he saw that Liu Sanduo had a problem, so he inserted it and took it away.

However, none of this is important, now that these Dinghai people are making such a good scene, maybe they can find out that I am Liu Sanduo's backstage. If that's the case, Andrew will be suspicious, and my identity will be revealed.

Therefore, whether it is Li Yingyuan or Liu Sanduo, they must be disposed of as soon as possible. It's just that these two people are often around them now, and the influence is too great, and it will not be good if I make the English people have some suspicions if I take action myself.

Now than before, the English have a lot of martial arts masters, and Bruce, who hangs out on the roof all night, is especially annoying, and it is not easy to hide from them.

Anyway, those Fuso pirates have asked me many times to help spy on the military and drive out the English. I thought that the difference in force between the two sides was too far, and even if I helped, I would cause some losses to the English at most, and I would not be able to completely drive out the English army, so I just made a false accusation and did not fully agree.

This time, I'll let these Fuso people come and try it, and even if I can't beat the English, it's good to take the opportunity to get rid of two annoying people. ”

Liu Sanduo's backstage finally made up his mind and decided to find an opportunity to get rid of Li Yingyuan and Liu Sanduo.
