Chapter 429 Gong Shiqi’s Difficulties

Although such inspection procedures seem cumbersome and will greatly affect the efficiency of cargo handling at the terminal, under the current situation, the Ministry of Security and the Police Department are temporarily unable to come up with a more effective way to conduct the investigation. Without obtaining

Until more detailed opponent information is available, relevant departments can only use this somewhat primitive and clumsy method to strengthen local intelligence and defense work.

This kind of scene does not only appear at the docks of Sanya Inland Port. In fact, in the nearby Shengli Port, relevant departments have also made similar arrangements. Even Tieliang Port, which specializes in docking salt ships, has been notified.

Conduct focused investigations on people who go to this place and try to stay.

In addition, the Lijiazhuang Immigration Transfer Station in the mainland and Wanshan Port, which is responsible for some cargo transfer tasks, have also received notices from the base camp, requiring them to strengthen the investigation of foreign personnel in the near future.

"If this kind of thing had not happened, the Executive Committee would not have realized the importance of our intelligence agency!" He Xi took the towel handed over by Yu Xiaobao and wiped his face, and said angrily: "Last year, we made a report

The Executive Committee expanded the establishment of the Security Department, but the matter was delayed until the war in Hue this year before any action was taken. Now all the new recruits are still being trained, and there are only a few people available in the field. How can we arrest them?"

Yu Yao, who was sitting next to him, responded: "If you don't have enough manpower, then first transfer people from the guard company. If it's not enough, then transfer people from the golden shield escort team. If you put together two or three hundred people, you should be able to have it."

of."

"There is no one available at Jindun for the time being." He Xi shook his head and said: "I just went to inquire today. They took a big job there and escorted a batch of goods to Shaoguan. The round trip is four hundred miles. I just went there the day before yesterday.

Let’s go. We’ve been wading through mountains and rivers all the way from Guangzhou, and we probably won’t be able to come back in the next ten days or so. There’s no need to count on them recently. Xiao Liang took half of the guard company to Panyu, and the rest still need to be

Looking at home, how can I dare to be transferred out to work in the field at will?"

"Don't just complain, isn't there Gong Shiqi here? This guy can be used as a team by himself, don't make it seem like you have no one to use." Yu Yao retorted with a smile.

.

"Gong Qi Qi is capable, but there is only one! If there were ten or eight Gong Qi Qi, I wouldn't have to complain." He Xi defended helplessly.

Gong Shiqi was the one who was named by He Xi to the military after the Lijiazhuang battle last year. Because he was an artist who joined the army, and he had made military exploits and received awards in the army, so he was worthy of both combat ability and loyalty.

Trust. Before the naval battle at the Pearl River Estuary with Liu Xiang last year, it was Gong Shiqi who led a group of people to attack and uproot the many hidden stake dens Liu Xiang had arranged near Guangzhou. At the same time, he also seized a total of gold and silver belongings of the pirate group.

Nearly one hundred thousand taels, it can be said that it laid an excellent foundation for the subsequent victory in the naval battle.

He Xi was also very satisfied with Gong Shiqi's performance. In the written report submitted to the executive committee after the operation, he without hesitation called him "a target that can be focused on training" and applied for third-class personal merit for him.

This time, after the intelligence agency of the General Office of the People's Republic of China received information about Jin Yiwei's actions, He Xi sent Gong Shiqi out again to collect information among the people.

As one of the first field personnel under the Ministry of Security, Gong Shiqi enjoys even higher treatment than Lin Nan at the base camp. Not only is he equipped with a single-shot pistol and other agent equipment, but he also has certain command capabilities

Authority. During the execution of the mission of the field team of the General Office of the People's Republic of China, Gong Shiqi has full authority to command operations.

When He Xi was complaining about the lack of manpower in the Guangzhou Liaison Office, Gong Qiqi was leading a team of people lurking outside a certain restaurant in Guangzhou city. Gong Qiqi stood in the shadow of the eaves, fanning slowly with his straw hat

Feng, with his peripheral vision, 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 hide his identity - pretending to be a farmer who went to the city to sell firewood.

Although the title of field commander sounds good, in fact, the field staff of the General Office of the People's Republic of China only has eight people, so they often have to ask for help from the security company of the General Office of the People's Republic of China. Last year, Gong Shiqi led a team in

Xin'an County seized Liu Xiang's underground bank. Due to lack of manpower at that time, they had to transfer people from Lijiazhuang to transport the money. However, because today's operation was highly classified, Gong Shiqi did not inform the guards in advance.

Even though they wanted people over there, they only sent out people from the field team.

In addition to Gong Shiqi, there were several other people pretending to be passers-by, vendors selling groceries, beggars, etc., monitoring the restaurant. In addition, there was a covered carriage parked behind the street.

.According to the information Gong Shiqi had received before, this wine shop was actually one of the secret strongholds of Jinyiwei, and it was directly under the jurisdiction of Nanzhen Fusi. This information was worth a full five hundred taels of silver. He Xi said it without saying a word.

After signing the bill, if Gong Qiqi failed to dig out anything valuable from this in the end, it would probably be difficult for him to explain to He Xi the purpose of the money.

Gong Shiqi has led the team to monitor here for two days. He believes that if someone comes from Nanzhen Fusi in Nanjing, they may appear in this place. However, because he received the news too late, he is not sure whether the person from Nanjing is coming.

Having already been here, we can only treat a dead horse as a living horse, hoping to obtain more detailed information by monitoring this place.

It has to be said that the official intelligence agencies of this era are still seriously lacking in vigilance in intelligence operations. The people in this wine shop still have the aura of public servants who can't hide it. Gong Shiqi has seen several people in the shop in the past two days.

The waiter is not familiar with the business of selling liquor, and yesterday he sent someone into the store to deliberately make things difficult for the waiter, but the result was that the waiter shouted bad words at him.

This very unprofessional performance basically confirmed the information that Gong Shiqi had paid for before. Of course, the Jin Yiwei who pretended to be ordinary people in the wine shop probably never thought that someone would be bold enough to spy on them. For this kind of reaction,

Surveillance lacks defensiveness.

Since the number of personnel in the field team is really limited and there is no way to investigate more places by casting a net, Gong Qiqi decided to take a risk this time and concentrate the power of the field team to monitor this place. If he is lucky and the bet is right, then

Maybe this will be the starting point for his future success.

Seeing that it was already noon, Gong Shiqi took out the steamed buns wrapped in cloth from his arms, broke them open and ate them bit by bit. This kind of fixed-point surveillance is not particularly physically demanding, but in hot weather

But he has become his biggest enemy. Even if Gong Qiqi has been standing under the eaves to provide shade, he has sweated a lot for a long time. But he did not dare to be distracted at all, because this action is very likely to affect

When it comes to his future career direction, the importance of it cannot be compared to his past field assignments.

Although Gong Shiqi was born in the Ming Dynasty and grew up in the Ming Dynasty, he really did not have much respect for the Ming Dynasty court, let alone loyalty. If he had not been oppressed by the government, he would not have lost his family and finally fled to Shengli Port.

He knew very well how much power these overseas visitors for whom he worked hard had. Let alone dealing with a few imperial guards, he would not be shocked even if one day they sent troops to attack Guangzhou City. Therefore, when He Xi opened the door before taking action

When he was there, he comforted He Xi that there was no need to worry, and at the same time expressed his loyalty.

Gong Shiqi already had a case in his mind. If the Jin Yiwei from Nanjing really showed up, he would have to do everything possible to keep them all in Guangzhou. As for whether it was assassination or kidnapping, it would depend on the specific situation.

.

When Gong Shiqi took out his second steamed bun and was halfway through eating it, he noticed a few suspicious characters appearing on the street. These five people were also dressed as ordinary people, but Gong Shiqi could feel these from the way they walked.

They must all be practitioners. Their lower body is obviously much more stable than ordinary people, and their eyes are sharp. They look left and right as they walk, obviously observing the surrounding environment very professionally.

When these five people walked to the door of the wine shop, they did not rush in directly. Instead, they stopped at the door for a while. The three of them went in first. The two stood at the door and looked around before following in. Gong Shiqi noticed this.

After a few people entered, the waiter quickly invited the only two customers out of the store and began to close the door.

This is the first time that this wine shop has closed early since the surveillance operation began. It is obvious that the identities of the five guests who entered the store are somewhat unusual, and the only thing Gong Shiqi can think of is to connect them with the actions of Nanzhen Fusi

Come together.

Gong Shiqi turned his head towards the street corner and made an inconspicuous gesture. Immediately, a passerby came over and asked, "Brother, how do you sell this load of firewood?"

Gong Shiqi lowered his voice and said: "I rushed back to mobilize people, saying that the right idea may have arrived!"

The passerby raised his voice and said, "What? You want three coins? You poor guy, you are crazy about money!" After that, he walked away.

Gong Shiqi watched his companion turn the corner, and then returned his attention to the wine shop opposite. From here, he rushed to the Guangdong Office outside the city, went to He Xi to apply for a transfer order, and then rushed back with the security company.

It would probably take more than half an hour. The only thing Gong Shiqi could do was to pray that this group of people would not leave too soon, otherwise with the few people he was commanding now, he might not be able to retain this group of guests in the wine shop.

Gong Shiqi blocked the straw hat in front of him, reached into his arms with one hand, checked the flintlock pistol inserted in the gun bag under his arm, and then explored the dagger on his waist. Touching the handle of the weapon made him heartbroken.

He felt a little more at ease. Although he also had skills, he was not able to fight one against ten masters. When he was not sure of the opponent's strength, it was best to use weapons directly. He clearly remembered He Xi's training session.

I once said that when performing field missions, you must use the fastest way to disarm your opponent's combat capabilities. When you can use weapons to solve problems, don't rely too much on your fists.

He was not the only one carrying a gun in this field operation. A total of four pistols were issued to the eight-person team. If used properly, it is not difficult to defeat the opponents of a five-person team. The real problem is the use of flintlock rifles.

The loud sound of gunfire cannot be concealed. If a few shots are fired during the operation, it will probably attract the defenders and police officers in the city. How to escape quickly after the operation is also a very delicate matter.

Although the location of this wine shop is not a busy city, there are still many residents around it. The possibility of causing trouble in the street is very high. Once the government notices, half of the purpose of this operation will be defeated——

What He Xi hoped was to quietly deal with the group of people sent by Nanzhen Fusi to Qiongzhou, instead of causing big news that would cause a storm in the city.

This undoubtedly placed extremely high demands on the field team. Gong Shiqi thought about it for a long time, but could not figure out how to complete the task without alerting the snake. Just when Gong Shiqi felt very anxious,

The companions sent back to call for reinforcements have returned, and they have brought back a person who was not supposed to be here in the first place.

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

After Gong Shiqi walked around the streets for a while carrying firewood, he met up with his companions who had rushed back: "Where are the reinforcements? Why did you bring outsiders here?"

The man quickly explained: "The security company came with three carriages and more than a dozen people, and they were parked in the yard of the 'Fu Ruifeng' store on West Street... As for Master Li, the boss asked him to be brought here."

The "boss" he refers to naturally refers to He Xi, the big boss of the intelligence agency. As for Master Li, it is Li Nai, the good-for-nothing third young master of "Fu Ruifeng".

Li Nai now spends at least half of the year hanging out with He Xi and others at the General Office of the People's Republic of China in Guangdong Province. Naturally, Gong Shiqi also knows him. Although there is a difference in seniority, Gong Shiqi still can't help complaining:

"Third Young Master, I'm doing something right now, and this is not a fun time! You'd better ask me back first!"

Li Nai shook his head and said: "You don't even know what I'm here for and you want to drive me away? I was invited by your boss to help!"

"Help?" Gong Shiqi said with a suspicious look on his face: "Does the third young master know what we are doing?"

"I know! Your boss has told me." Li Nai responded calmly: "Aren't there just a few people with ulterior motives who are planning to sneak into Sanya? You are just thinking about how to do it quietly.

Keep them under control, right?"

"Absolutely..." Gong Shiqi knew as soon as he heard that this was indeed He Xi who had 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, to this

How can these actions help?

"I know you have guns, but if you shoot in Guangzhou, even if you kill these people, the matter will become a big deal. And your boss doesn't want to make this matter open, so I came here."

Here to help you." Li Nai said proudly.

Gong Shiqi couldn't help but ask: "Third Young Master, how do you plan to help?"
Chapter completed!
