Chapter 1193 Wedding

Strictly speaking, both Han Zhengshan and Cui'e were involved by Gu Hui. If he hadn't kept saying that he saw something he shouldn't have seen before the fire at Tongsheng Pier, these two people would not have been involved.

Cui'e, who had regained consciousness after being trapped, didn't know where she got the strength at this time, so she threw Gu Hui down, crying and screaming, and kept beating the opponent with both hands. The soldiers next to her hurriedly

Step forward and drag the two of them apart to avoid an even more ugly scene.

At this time, Wang Tom and Shi Diwen had listened to Lin Nan's oral brief report and had a preliminary understanding of the general situation of the matter. They were not interested in the temporary measures taken by Lin Nan in Hangzhou City without asking for instructions.

There will be too much doubt, after all, in terms of results, the goal was achieved relatively satisfactorily.

"You've worked hard this time, but I can't give you a holiday for the time being. Let's interrogate this Gu Hui carefully first and see what he knows." Wang Tom ordered: "If there are other people involved, you can go back and investigate

Everything that needs to be dealt with will be dealt with, so as not to leave any further trouble. As for these two people, since the information they have is limited, they should be detained separately first, and you can make arrangements after you find out the case."

Lin Nan bowed his head in agreement, and then ordered his men to escort the three people away from the dock. Last year, a hard labor camp was built on Zhoushan Island specifically to hold prisoners of war and criminals. People like this were kidnapped from all over Zhejiang for various reasons.

They were imprisoned in hard labor camps for varying lengths of labor. Depending on the severity of the crimes they committed, some people may never have the chance to regain their freedom. There are also some people whose crimes were not serious, but whose identities were sensitive or

Those who have mastered some important information and pose an objective threat to Haihan's local development will be transferred to other places to continue their hard labor. The three people brought back this time can basically belong to the latter group.

In this category, even if they can save their lives, they probably won't have the chance to return to Hangzhou in the future.

There were some loopholes in the details of the previously planned bitter meat plan, which Wang Tom and Shi Diwen were well aware of. After all, this matter involved too many aspects, and it was inevitable that someone would notice anomalies at some point. Fortunately, this

As luck would have it, Wang Tom asked Pan Yan to stay in Hangzhou for vacation. As a result, Pan Yan accidentally bumped into Han Zhengshan and others who were plotting the incident. Lin Nan responded well and stopped the situation from deteriorating in time.

"Pan Yan, you performed well this time. I made the right decision to keep you in Hangzhou. You can bump into these reactionaries even if you go to a brothel. You are really a lucky general!" Wang Tom did not hesitate to treat Pan Yan

of appreciation.

Pan Yan quickly handed over his hands and replied: "It's just a coincidence. I don't dare to take credit. Brother Lin is still able to direct this matter. If I had left it to him, it would definitely not have happened so smoothly. I followed Brother Lin and didn't learn anything."

Less stuff."

Tom Wang nodded and said: "Although you have also made meritorious service, you may not have time to make up for it during this holiday. The navy's winter training will begin next, and you will have to train with the troops."

Pan Yan responded: "This is a matter within my duties, and I should do my best to complete it. Although Hangzhou is prosperous, I think it is not as stable as this Dinghaiport. A visit there is enough."

Pan Yan's words came from his heart and were not false. Hangzhou is the largest city in the south of the Yangtze River. The prosperity of the city is indeed not comparable to the places Pan Yan has been to in the past. But the strange thing is that Pan Yan did not do anything important in the city.

Ming Zimin's sense of belonging actually felt that Dinghaiport, which was under military control, was more suitable for him. Even if this incident had not happened, he originally planned to only spend three or four days in Hangzhou before returning to Zhoushan. The days of wine pools and meat forests instead

It's not as comfortable as staying in a military camp with lots of rules and simple meals.

The preliminary results of Gu Hui's interrogation were obtained that day. In fact, Gu Hui did not have any real evidence. The only physical evidence at that time, the bottle that was broken by the dock workers and the kerosene contained in it, had been used by fearful people.

Gu Hui threw himself into the Qiantang River. Even if he could tell Han Zhengshan about this, it would be difficult to accuse Haihan of arson through verbal description. As for other "abnormal" situations that Gu Hui considered,

It's just his personal perception without any evidence. Even if the government gets such a confession, it won't change the current situation.

"To put it this way, it was a false alarm!" After listening to Lin Nan's report, Shi Diwen couldn't help but sigh: "But fortunately you acted quickly enough and didn't let the situation get out of control. If Han Zhengshan had done this,

If we go up there, we don’t know what will happen again.”

Although Haihan and the Zhejiang government have reached a settlement, and both parties are unwilling to bring up the dispute over the fire case again, if the Zhejiang government knows the methods Haihan used in the fire case, they probably won't be able to bear it any longer.

This is the tone. Even if Zhejiang's military deployment is relatively empty at the moment, the Zhejiang government has no choice but to fight to the death with Haihan for the sake of Ming Dynasty's face.

Lin Nan responded: "If something goes wrong here, I will return to Hangzhou as soon as possible to prevent other troubles from happening there."

Although Lin Nan didn't say it clearly, Shi Diwen could also imagine what the trouble he was referring to was. Cui'e was taken away by Bao Ye and didn't show up the next day. Bichun Garden will definitely try to find someone until she is found.

At Han Zhengshan's home, they will find that these two people are missing together. As for Gu Hui, who was forcibly kidnapped outside the city, it depends on when someone will report it to the police. The trouble of these three missing people is big or small.

How to deal with it depends on the government's attitude. The Ministry of Security's responsibility must be to keep an eye on the subsequent development of this matter.

Shi Diwen nodded and said: "That's fine, you can rest for one night and return to Hangzhou tomorrow."

Lin Nan added: "I heard that the chief is going to get married soon, and I have prepared a small gift for my humble position. I hope the chief will not dislike it."

Although it has not yet spread that Shi Diwen is marrying the same family as Qu Yu, the prefect of Ningbo, the Ministry of Security, as the unit that handles this matter, has naturally known the situation for a long time. The Ministry of Security's agency in Zhejiang is currently represented by Shi Diwen

In charge of daily operations, so for Lin Nan, the flattery of his immediate boss still needs to be slapped.

Shi Diwen smiled bitterly and said: "I'm serious about it! If I have time, I'll come back for a wedding drink too!"

The marriage between Shi Diwen and the Qu family has been on the agenda after the negotiations in Hangzhou. After Qu Yutong returned to Ningbo from Hangzhou a few days ago, he sent an envoy to Zhoushan, saying that the preliminary preparations for the marriage had been made.

We have also won the recognition and support of senior officials in Zhejiang Province. Now everything is ready and we just need Dongfeng, just waiting for Shi Diwen's nod.

Both parties had their own purposes for agreeing on this marriage. Qu Yutong wanted to use Haihan's power to stabilize his status and official position, while Shi Diwen wanted to use this to gain more local support in Zhejiang.

After all, in his career plan, he may stay in Zhejiang for several years. However, it is not enough to strengthen Haihan's influence on Zhejiang only through military pressure and trade penetration.

Binding the interests of people with real power in the officialdom to Haihan is probably a good way to achieve quick results and stable returns.

However, both parties want to maximize the benefits they can obtain, so there are many details that need to be negotiated and communicated when holding a wedding, such as location, time, list of invited guests, etc. And handling these matters is only good for leading troops in war.

For Shi Diwen, it is not a big trouble. Of course he wants to have a Western-style wedding, as long as there is a simple ceremony, but it is obvious that Qu Yutong hopes to make it grand and try to enhance this wedding.

The influence of pile marriage.

As Shi Diwen's best friend, Wang Tom was obliged to serve as a witness. As Haihan's Deputy Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Wang Tom's status was sufficient to attend the wedding on behalf of the Haihan Executive Committee.

Of course, there are currently no other time-travelers stationed in Zhoushan, so there is really no room for pickiness in this choice.

The news of the marriage between the prefect of Ningbo and a high-ranking official of Haihan is also being promoted in an orderly manner according to the plan. The main tone is to shape this marriage into a symbol of peace between the two countries, and the prefect Qu asked his descendants to marry into Haihan in order to end

The political significance of the war dispute between the two countries is no less than that of Zhaojun leaving the fortress and Princess Wencheng entering Tibet.

Of course, throughout the entire Ming Dynasty, there was never any situation where the royal family made peace with a foreign country. It was said that there would be no peace, no indemnity, no land cession, and no tribute. Although the implementation of the last three clauses is open to question, the no peace was implemented very thoroughly.

, most of the princesses of the Ming Dynasty were married off to the descendants of important court ministers to strengthen the relationship between the royal family, powerful ministers and nobles. Although this is just a folk version of marriage and marriage between the two countries, its political implications are still quite strong. Qu Yutong

This also solidifies the title of the Zhejiang official who is the best at communicating with Haihan. Regardless of whether this evaluation is good or bad, Qu Yutong has at least achieved his original goal and temporarily retained his position as prefect.

However, for Qu Yutong, the relationship with Haihan has long been more than just "communication". The two parties have too many common interests. Making the existing relationship public with the help of marriage can give him a more dignified reason.

To strengthen cooperation between the two sides in politics, economy, trade, culture, military and other aspects.

The list of guests attending the wedding on Haihan's side was limited, and they were basically senior cadres stationed in Zhoushan. But Qu Yutong had many guests to invite. The guests on the invitation list included people from all sizes in Ningbo Prefecture.

There are dozens of officials. These officials are able to securely keep their positions because they basically make similar choices to Qu Yutong, and have deep or shallow cooperation with Haihan. And Qu Yu

The marriage between Tong and Shi Diwen also became a stage for Ningbo officials to clearly demonstrate their political stance. Who supports the peaceful coexistence of the two countries and who is still hostile to Haihan will be known at a glance. No

Anyone who responds positively to the invitation can start packing their bags and preparing to leave.

Many businessmen in Ningbo Prefecture and even other prefectures are more interested in participating than officials. This kind of opportunity to show up in front of big shots may not come twice a year, especially the high-ranking officials of Haihan who live in seclusion. For Ming merchants,

It can be said to be a very mysterious existence. Take this opportunity to become familiar with each other and brush up your favorability. Maybe you can get more rewards from Haihan in the future. Now Haihan will be held in Zhoushan after the beginning of spring.

The news of the "Spring Trade Fair" has spread. At this time, if you visit Haihan more often, you may be able to get a head start in the competition.

During the preparations for the wedding, follow-up news about the disappearance of Han Zhengshan and others was also returned from Hangzhou. Just as Pan Yan planned, the intentionally created scene and the public opinion spread caused Han Zhengshan and Cui'e to

The disappearance turned into a gossipy and erotic incident.

No one knows the reason why the Hangzhou police chief gave up his generous treatment and kidnapped a prostitute to elope. What people are more interested in talking about are the various story versions derived from it. There are two people who are in love with each other privately.

There is also the version of pure love that is destined for life, and there is also the version of the rule of law in which Han Zhengshan is found to be corrupt and has violated the law, so he can only run away with his mistress. Some people think that Han Zhengshan’s move is just because he suffered too much pressure in the previous investigation of the fire case.

Having become disillusioned with the job of being a police officer, he chose to quit quietly. Although a very small number of people had doubts about the life and death of these two men, it was not the mainstream opinion among the people.

Han Zhengshan's colleagues did not gain much from the investigation of his home. They could only confirm from the items left behind that Cui'e had indeed been to Han Zhengshan's home, and the two people seemed to have done something at home before leaving.

After a meal, it was obvious that he walked very calmly. The furnishings in the home were neat and tidy, making it difficult for people to connect the situation seen with the kidnapping. After two or three days of investigation and search, the Hangzhou government could only report this case

The incident was classified as an ordinary disappearance, and no more manpower was arranged to investigate.

As for the disappearance of the foreman Gu Hui, the splash was even smaller. Although someone later reported that Gu Hui was taken away by an unidentified official, neither the Hangzhou Prefectural Government nor the Qiantang County Government sent anyone to summon Gu Hui.

Naturally, it did not match what the reporter said, and no one would connect this disappearance case with the disappearance of Han Zhengshan that occurred in Hangzhou on the same day. The Yamen just made a record as a matter of routine, and then reported the case to the police.

Sent away. People drown themselves in the Qiantang River every day. Maybe the missing man lost money in gambling and jumped into the river to commit suicide. For the Yamen, unless there are clear clues about the disappearance case, there will be no clue at all.

to trace the whereabouts of missing persons.

The Ministry of Security's handling of these three people can be considered very clean, basically cutting off all clues for tracing. Even if someone wanted to trace the whereabouts of these people, it would be difficult to link their disappearance to Haihan.
