Chapter 1340 Relief

Liu Shang was afraid that he might have misjudged his eyes, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then carefully identified the body. The body was indeed that of Liao Yuan. At this time, the first thought that came to Liu Shang's mind was not why Liao Yuan died at sea.

, but Liao Yuan did not go out alone this time. He took away all his subordinates. Logically speaking, these people should be traveling with him. He quickly opened the canvas again and saw that he was lying next to him.

Among the bodies were several other men who lived in the same compound in the port area.

Liu Shang's heart was beating fast at this time. Could it be that what he had only dared to think about but not implement had become a reality so effortlessly? He swallowed hard and took off all the canvas covering the corpses.

I came here and planned to make a good identification. If Liao Yuan and his men all died in this shipwreck, then no one in Sanya would know his true identity as Liu Shang.

After this was revealed, Liu Shang took a closer look and almost screamed out in surprise, because he actually found Qin An's face in it. This shock was even more intense than when he saw Liao Yuan just now, because he knew Liao Yuan very well.

The purpose of Yuan Yuan leading the team to Changhua was to confront Qin An face to face. If he did not speculate, then killing Qin An would be the next step. After all, if Qin An makes a mistake, Liu Shang will not be the only one who will be affected by this.

However, the entire Ming Dynasty intelligence network lurking near Sanya may be exposed, and Liao Yuan can only take extreme measures to protect the overall situation.

Liu Shang couldn't figure out the exact reason why Qin An was in the same boat as Liao Yuan and others. He could only guess that after Liao Yuan found Qin An in Changhua, the two might not have reached an agreement on communication.

Liao Yuan took him back to Sanya. Unexpectedly, he encountered a shipwreck on the way.

The real reason why Liao Yuan brought Qin An back to Sanya may never be known, but Liu Shang believes that there are only two possibilities. One is that his original intention was discovered by Liao Yuan and Qin An after their meeting, and the two planned to come back together.

Confront him face to face; secondly, for some reason, Liao Yuan relented when he was about to take action, and planned to bring Qin An back, and then discuss with himself how to deal with him.

No matter which possibility it is, there is a certain risk for Liu Shang, and he does not want to face the unstable factor of Qin An again. Although Liu Shang is basically sure that no matter how Qin An pleads, Liao Yuan will rely on his official status

Xiadu will never fall out, but if Qin An refuses to accept it, there will inevitably be huge rifts in this temporarily formed small group, which will definitely be extremely detrimental to Liu Shang's long-term lurking. Of course, these two people are now troubling Liu Shang.

The scourge of many days finally became a dead man, and could no longer threaten Liu Shang's personal safety.

Although the death of a group of colleagues inexplicably is not something to be happy about, Liu Shang really just wants to laugh out loud at this time to release his suppressed mood for a long time. But he also knows that he must not get carried away at this time, be careful

He kept calm and checked carefully, and sure enough, all of Liao Yuan's men were among them, and no one escaped. In this way, no one on the entire Hainan Island should know Liu Shang's true identity.

"Sir, do you know anyone among these victims?"

The captain's question brought Liu Shang's mind back to the present, and he quickly responded: "I looked carefully, but I don't know anyone... By the way, I just remembered that there are extremely important things to do, and I can't do it today.

It would be really annoying to go with the ship."

The owner's face darkened slightly and he said, "Is it possible that the guest dislikes my ship for bringing back so many victims and thinks it is unlucky? Regardless of whether it is a merchant ship or a civilian ship, if a ship needs to be rescued at sea, it should do its best to rescue it. This is a maritime transport

The company’s express regulations are in writing, and I’m just going to act in accordance with them.”

Liu Shang quickly waved his hands and defended: "I didn't mean this, and don't misunderstand me. Let's do this. I just paid you the ship's price. I just don't want it anymore. If you think it's inappropriate, just give it to these victims on my behalf."

How about buying some joss sticks and paper money to commemorate them?"

The price that the ship owner just casually offered to Liu Shang would have to be used to buy several baskets of incense and candles. Of course, it wouldn't be enough to pay homage to the deceased. Liu Shang's statement that he would give up asking for the ship's money would allow the ship owner to make some money from it.

After seeing these benefits, I no longer argued with Liu Shang about this matter.

Liu Shang was worried that he would be delayed here for too long, so he hurriedly disembarked and left. Not far away, he saw a group of laborers pulling several flatbed trailers towards the dock. The first vehicle also had a white and red plate stuck in it.

Liu Shang recognized the small cross flag as the symbol of the medical and health department, and knew that most of them were coming from the morgue to transport corpses. He quickly slowed down and turned to look to the other side, letting these people pass first.

The ship owner had previously told him that the official autopsy had been carried out and confirmed that these people had no obvious fatal injuries and theoretically all died from drowning. After the bodies were transported to the morgue, they would be kept for a few days at most for relatives to come.

If no one recognizes you when the time comes, it will be handled according to Haihan's rules and cremated.

Liu Shang knew that people like Liao Yuan and Qin An were as rootless as him. No one knew their true past and they did not have any relatives and friends in the local area. Even if the Ministry of Security came to investigate now, they would not

No clues were found from them, so it can only be treated as an ordinary shipwreck.

God help me! Liu Shang looked at the carts heading towards the dock, and this idea flashed through his mind silently. What he had been thinking about but couldn't implement suddenly became a reality, and the result was perfect.

The extent even far exceeded the various assumptions I had made.

At this point, Liu Shang will definitely no longer be in a hurry to escape Sanya. After he returned to his residence, he closed the door and sat down to meditate on his current situation. At present, no one in Sanya knows his details, and the superiors are temporarily

It was also impossible to confirm the whereabouts of this group of people headed by Liao Yuan. He could continue to lurk as a Haihan official with peace of mind. It would be at least a month or two before the superiors discovered that they had all lost contact with them.

By the time the manpower is redeployed and another person is sent over, it may be three to four months or even half a year later.

By then, the superiors must have listed him as a missing person along with Liao Yuan, Qin An and others, and treated him as being arrested by Haihan. And those who are sent later will definitely not be informed about them by the superiors

existence. This is just like when Liu Shang was sent to Sanya, he only knew that hundreds of Ming intelligence personnel had been trapped in Haihan in the past few years. As for the true identities and concealed identities of these seniors, there was no

No one will tell them one by one.

Among the intelligence officers who disappeared without a trace in Haihan in the past, how many were dead, how many were captured, and how many were defectors? Because no one has ever successfully broken into the Haihan Security Department, there is no way to know these situations.

Research. In order to prevent latecomers from repeating the same mistakes and being trapped by those who have betrayed them, the information of Liu Shang's group will definitely be deliberately concealed.

This means that in the future, unless Liu Shang initiates contact with the Yamen he is loyal to, no one will probably know his true identity from now on. In addition to being a deeply dormant lurker, he can also

There is another way to go, which is to quietly leave the Ming Dynasty and then work peacefully as an official in Haihan.

This sudden new path is undoubtedly very tempting for Liu Shang, who already knows Haihan's strength. Power is something that is difficult to give up after enjoying it, even if Liu Shang knows that it is an official position in an enemy country.

, standing in his own position, he should never be reluctant to leave, but when the matter comes, he still can't resist the pleasure of being commanded by his power. What's more, all the people who know his background are dead, and he now has the best chance to kill him.

By clearing your identity, you can solve your dual identity problem once and for all, and be assured of being a peace officer in Haihan.

Haihan has only been officially established for more than a year and is in a period of rapid development. Liu Shang has been able to confirm after his trip around the island that as long as there is no chaos at the top, this country will remain a powerful country in the South China Sea for a long time to come.

status. It is difficult for other surrounding countries, including the Ming Dynasty, to pose a substantial threat to it. After watching the Haihan Navy defeat the invading Spanish fleet a few days ago, he was even more convinced of this.

On the one hand, he was working openly and honestly in Haihan and enjoying the life of a superior man; on the other hand, he continued to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and fearfully acted as a lurker to collect intelligence about Haihan. Liu Shang was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and it was difficult to make the final decision for a long time.

decision.

Liu Shang just sat in the house like this, thinking about the morning from sunset to morning. When he found that he was so hungry that he could no longer concentrate, the sky outside the window had already brightened.

According to the schedule, today is the day for the construction aid workers to set off north. Liu Shang sighed, thinking that he didn't leave yesterday, and he couldn't leave at this time today. In addition to obeying the arrangements, he went north to Shandong to work for Haihan.

It seemed that he had no other choice but to serve in the establishment of a local control area. He went to Shandong for a year and a half before returning. By then, he was already a genuine Haihan official. Even if he risked his life and took the initiative to fight with

He contacted his superiors, all his colleagues who lurked in Haihan before and after him were dead, and he himself lost contact with the organization for a long time. How can he explain these circumstances so that his superiors can trust him? Will anyone believe it at that time?

Is he loyal to the Ming court?

"It's not that I chose this path, it's that this is the only path for me to choose." Liu Shang finally figured out the reason at this time. Even if he wanted to continue to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, it would be difficult to regain the trust of the organization.

Although Liao Yuan, Qin An and others were not killed by him personally, they were indeed killed in the shipwreck because of his shady operations. It is said that they all died because of him. But everyone who knows about it knows

He died, but the only person with vested interests was prospering in the officialdom in Haihan. If anyone could explain this kind of thing, it would be difficult for people to believe that it was just a coincidence. Liu Shang realized that his situation and mentality could no longer return.

Before the accident, any choice he made was meaningless. God had only left him such a path. If he wanted to survive, he had to follow this path first.

"I am doing this to protect myself, not to betray my country for glory." Liu Shang must brainwash himself at this time, otherwise the guilt in his heart will still make him unable to face the future. Although the purpose of his previous actions may not be for

Treason, but the serious consequences are no different from treason.

Liu Shang forcibly brainwashed himself, then packed his luggage and set off again. Only this time he brought much more luggage than yesterday. In addition to some personal items, there were also quilts and blankets that he had just brought back a few days ago.

, cotton jackets and trousers, cotton shoes and hats and other winter supplies. When he fled yesterday, he did not take these things with him for the convenience of movement, but after leaving today, he will go north to Shandong, so he has to bring all these necessities for keeping warm in winter.

.The intention of the above to distribute these items to the construction aid workers going north is also very obvious. It is obvious that this winter must be spent in Shandong.

Liu Shang went out with large and small bags, called a rickshaw, and took the people and luggage to the Port of Victory. The personnel and materials of the northbound fleet were gathered here to board the ship. When Liu Shang arrived here

, he saw that there were already many people like him with luggage waiting at the pier.

Seeing that these people had not boarded the ship yet, Liu Shang asked an official he knew to inquire about the situation, and found out that the head of the executive committee would come to see them off later, so everyone had to wait on the dock for the head to finish his lecture.

Then board the ship and set off.

Not long after, two teams of police arrived and cleared a large area on the pier. Then a black four-wheeled carriage, escorted by several cavalrymen, came down to the pier. Two people got out of the car, one after the other. Liu

Shang recognized them all at first glance. The tall, middle-aged man in front of him, wearing a straight military uniform, was the Minister of Defense Yan Chujie. Liu Shang had seen him before when he was watching military exercises off the coast of Danzhou. The one following behind him was himself.

Yu Xiaobao, his immediate boss, came in the same car with Yan Chujie, which shows the high-level trust of Haihan executives in him.

Yan Chujie did not make any long speech, but just told everyone to be more patient and careful when handing over work with the military after arriving in the north, to cooperate well, and not to have conflicts with military personnel due to differences in opinions on work. Regarding this matter, Liu Shang

I have heard Yu Xiaobao say that in the early stage, almost all local government and civil affairs were managed by the military. It is impossible to do as detailed a job as the functional departments. Therefore, it is inevitable that some responsibilities and powers will not be clear during the work handover.

Fortunately, the Youth League will not have such trouble. After all, the officers in charge of political work in the military are basically members of the Youth League.
