Chapter 1340 Relief
Liu Shang was afraid that he might be mistaken, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then carefully identified the corpse. This corpse is indeed Liao Yuan.At this time, the first thought that turned in Liu Shang's mind was not why Liao Yuan died at sea, but that Liao Yuan did not go out alone this time. He took all his subordinates away. It was right to walk with him, and immediately uncovered a section of the canvas, and sure enough, among the corpses lying on the side, there were several other men who lived in the same yard 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 never carried out became a reality so effortlessly?He swallowed hard, and took off all the canvases covering these corpses, intending to make a proper 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 uncovering it, Liu Shang took a closer look and almost exclaimed, because he found Qin An's face in it.This shock was even more violent than seeing Liao Yuan just now, because he knew very well that the purpose of Liao Yuan leading the team to Changhua was to confront Qin An face-to-face. The next step.After all, if Qin An made a mistake, Liu Shang would not be the only one who would be affected by it. The entire Daming intelligence network lurking near Sanya might be exposed. Liao Yuan could only take extreme measures to protect the overall situation.
Why Qin An was in the same boat as Liao Yuan and others, Liu Shang really couldn't think of an exact reason.He could only guess that after Liao Yuan found Qin An in Changhua, the two might not have reached an agreement in terms of communication, so Liao Yuan took him back to Sanya, but unexpectedly encountered a shipwreck on the way.
Why Liao Yuan brought Qin An back to Sanya may never know the real reason, but Liu Shang believes that there are only two possibilities. One is that his original plan was seen through by Liao Yuan and Qin An after meeting, and the two are going to come back together Ask him to confront him face to face; secondly, for some reason, Liao Yuan softened his heart when he was about to attack, and planned to bring Qin An back, and then discuss with him how to deal with him.
No matter which possibility it is, there are certain risks for Liu Shang, and he doesn't want to face the unstable factor of Qin An again.Although Liu Shang is basically sure that no matter how Qin An defends, Liao Yuanwang will never turn his back on his official identity, but if Qin An refuses to accept, there will inevitably be a huge rift in this temporary small group, which will be very important to Liu Shang The long-term latency is definitely extremely unfavorable.Of course, now these two scourges that have plagued Liu Shang for many days have finally become dead, and they can no longer threaten Liu Shang's personal safety.
Although it is not something to be happy about the inexplicable death of a group of colleagues, Liu Shang really just wants to laugh out loud at this time, so as to release his suppressed mood for a long time.But he also knew that he must not get carried away at this time, carefully kept calm and carefully identified it, and sure enough several of Liao Yuan's subordinates were among them, and none of them escaped.In this way, no one on Hainan Island should know Liu Shang's real identity.
"Guest officer, among these victims, is there anyone you know?"
The captain's question brought Liu Shang's mind back to his eyes, and he quickly responded: "I have looked carefully, but I don't know anyone... By the way, I just remembered that there are still very important things that I haven't done. I can't do it today." It’s really bothering me to leave with the boat.”
The owner's expression sank slightly and he said: "Could it be that the guest officer dislikes my ship for bringing so many victims back, and thinks it is unlucky? Regardless of merchant ships and civilian ships, if there is a need to rescue a ship at sea, you should try your best to rescue it. This is a maritime transport. According to the company's express regulations, I'm just following the rules."
Liu Shang hurriedly waved his hand to defend: "I don't intend to do that, so don't misunderstand me. How about it, I've already paid your boat fare just now, I just don't want it. If you think it's inappropriate, just give it to these victims on my behalf. Buying some joss sticks and paper money is a memorial to them, is that okay?"
The price that the ship owner just casually offered to Liu Shang would cost a few baskets to buy joss sticks. Naturally, it would not take that much to pay homage to the dead. Liu Shang’s statement that he would not ask for the ship’s money back, the ship owner would be able to make some money out of it. After some benefits, he didn't care about this matter with Liu Shang anymore.
Liu Shang was worried that he would be delayed here for too long, so he got off the boat and left immediately. Before he had gone far, he saw a group of laborers pulling several flatbed trailers towards the pier. The small flag of the cross, Liu Shang knew that this kind of flag was the symbol of the medical and health department, and knew that most of the corpses were transported from the mortuary, so he quickly slowed down and turned his face to look at the other side, letting go of these people first.
The ship's owner had told him earlier that the official autopsy had come and confirmed that there were no obvious fatal injuries on these people. In theory, they all died of drowning.After the corpse is transported to the morgue, it will be parked for a few days at most for relatives to come and claim it. If no one recognizes it at that time, it must be handled according to Haihan's rules and cremated.
Liu Shang knew that Liao Yuan and Qin An were rootless people just like himself, no one knew their real past, and they didn't have any relatives or friends in the local area.Now even if the Ministry of Security came to investigate, they would not find any clues from them, and could only treat it as an ordinary shipwreck.
God help me too!Liu Shang looked at the scooters heading towards the pier, and this thought silently flashed through his mind.What I thought hard but couldn't implement suddenly became a reality, and the perfection of the result even far exceeded the various assumptions I had made.
Now that the matter has come to this point, Liu Shang will definitely not be in a hurry to escape from Sanya anymore. 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 higher-ups cannot confirm the whereabouts of the group led by Liao Yuan for the time being. He can continue to lurk as an official of Haihan with peace of mind.It will be at least one or two months later when the superiors find out that they have lost contact with all of them, and it may be three or four months or even half a year after the other side redeploys manpower and sends another person over there.
By then, the superiors must have listed him as a missing person along with Liao Yuan, Qin An and others, and dealt with him as if he had been captured by Haihan.And the people who will be sent later will definitely not be informed about the existence of them.It's like when Liu Shang was sent to Sanya, he only knew that hundreds of Ming intelligence personnel had been in Haihan in the past few years. As for the true identities and cover-ups of these seniors, no one knew Inform them one by one.
In the past, among the intelligence personnel who disappeared silently in Haihan, how many died, how many were arrested, and how many defected, because no one has ever successfully broken into the Haihan Security Department, so there is no way to know about these situations research.And in order to prevent latecomers from repeating the same mistakes and being trapped by those who have already betrayed, the information of Liu Shang and his group will definitely be deliberately concealed.
That is to say, in the future, except for Liu Shang who initiates contact with the yamen he is loyal to, it is very likely that no one will know his true identity from now on.Apart from being a deeply dormant lurker, he now has another way to go, which is to leave Daming quietly, and then become an official in Haihan with peace of mind.
For Liu Shang, who already knew Hai Han's strength, this new road suddenly appeared quite attractive.After enjoying power, it is hard to let go of it. Even though Liu Shang knows that this is an official position of an enemy country, he should never be reluctant to leave it from his own standpoint, but he still can't resist the pleasure of domineering orders when things come to an end. .What's more, all the people who knew about him have already died. Now he has the best chance to clear his identity, solve his dual identity problem once and for all, and be a peace officer in Haihan with peace of mind.
Haihan has only been officially established for more than a year now, and it is in a period of rapid development. After Liu Shang's trip around the island, he can be sure 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 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 is an official in Haihan, and enjoys the life of a superior man smoothly; decision.
Liu Shang just sat in the house like this, thinking about the morning from sunset, and when he found that he was too hungry to continue to concentrate, the sky outside the window had already brightened.
According to the schedule, today is the day when the construction aid personnel from Beishang set off.Liu Shang sighed, thinking that he didn't leave yesterday, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to at this time today. He seemed to have no other way to go except to follow the arrangement honestly and go north to Shandong to help Haihan establish a control area in the local area. up.And this time he went to Shandong to stay for a year and a half before coming back. By then, he would already be a genuine Haihan official. Even if he went all out and contacted his superiors, his colleagues who had entered Haihan latently died completely. , he himself has lost contact with the organization for a long time, how can he explain these situations in order to win the trust of his superiors?At that time, would anyone still believe in his loyalty to the Ming court?
"It's not that I chose this path, but this is the only path for me to choose." Liu Shang finally figured out the truth at this time, even if he wanted to continue to be loyal to Daming, it would be difficult to regain the trust of the organization.
Although Liao Yuan, Qin An and the others were not killed by him himself, they were indeed killed in the shipwreck because of his coquettish maneuvers, and they all died because of him.But all the insiders are dead, and the only person with vested interests is prosperous in Haihan. If this kind of thing can be explained to anyone, it will be hard for people to believe that it is just a coincidence.Liu Shang realized that his situation and mentality could no longer return to before the accident, and any choice he made would be meaningless.God only left him such a road, if he wants to live, he can only walk down this road first.
"I'm doing it for self-protection, not traitorousness." 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 treason, the serious consequences are no different from treason.
Liu Shang forcibly brainwashed himself, then packed his luggage and set off again.It's just that this time he brought a lot more luggage than yesterday. In addition to some personal items, there were also winter items such as quilts and blankets, cotton jackets and trousers, cotton shoes and cotton hats that he had just brought back a few days ago.When he fled yesterday, he didn't bring these things with him for the convenience of his movement, but after he set off today, he was going north to Shandong, so he had to bring all these necessities to keep warm in winter.And the intention of the above to distribute these items to the construction aid personnel going north cannot be more obvious. Obviously, this winter must be spent locally in Shandong.
Liu Shang went out with big bags and small bags, called a rickshaw, and pulled him and his luggage to the Shengli Port area.The personnel and supplies of the northward fleet were all assembled here to board the ship. When Liu Shang arrived here, he saw that there were already many people like him waiting on the pier with luggage.
Seeing that none of these people had boarded the ship, Liu Shang asked an official he knew to inquire about the situation, and only then did he know that the head of the executive committee would come to see him off later, so everyone had to wait on the pier until the head finished his speech. Then board the ship and set off.
Not long after, two teams of policemen came and cleared a large area on the pier. Then, a black four-wheeled carriage came down to the pier under the escort of several cavalry. Even at a glance, Shang could recognize them all.The burly middle-aged man in the front is Yan Chujie, Minister of National Defense. Liu Shang once saw him when he was watching military exercises off the coast of Danzhou.And followed by his immediate boss Yu Xiaobao, he and Yan Chujie came in the same car, which also showed the favor of Haihan's senior management.
Yan Chujie didn't publish any long speeches, 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 because of differences of opinion on work.Regarding this matter, Liu Shang has already heard from Yu Xiaobao that almost all local government affairs and civil affairs were managed by the military in the early stage. Where responsibilities are unclear.Fortunately, the Youth League will not have this kind of trouble. After all, the military officers in charge of political work are basically members of the Youth League.
