Chapter 1692
Francis has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he has done a lot of work for the Ding family in the role of umbrella before. Naturally, he knows how much energy a businessman with an official background has.Although he still maintains his status as an official after the change of dynasty, he can only behave as a man with his tail between his legs today, but he dare not do whatever he wants like before. Maybe the backer behind Chaosheng Trading Post is much more important than himself. If he was provoked by Ding Feng to find other people's troubles, he might be kicked on the iron plate and suffer a big fall.
At the very least, it is necessary to find out which giant Buddha is behind Ran Tianlu in Chaosheng Business Store. If it is the one that cannot be offended, then keep a distance as soon as possible, and don't take the initiative to provoke right and wrong upper body.
Ding Feng wasn't a person who didn't listen. Since Francis spoke so cautiously, and Qin Huacheng's rumors also confirmed that this person was not easy to mess with, he couldn't force Francis to take this risk.But giving up at this point is definitely not reconciled, so he turned to Qin Huacheng and asked, "Is there any way on your side to find out the details of that person?"
Compared to Francis, who only dealt with Hispanics all day in the Western Management Bureau, Qin Huacheng, a public security policeman, was obviously more suitable for inquiring about Han people. After getting the exact news, he might be able to find a way to deal with this difficult person.
Seeing that these two people were staring at him, Qin Hua nodded and said, "I can try, but I can't guarantee that there will be results. You also know that with the authority of the security police, you won't get too much information."
"If there is too much resistance, then we don't need too much definite information. In fact, we just need to know whether this person can move." Ding Feng added.
If he intends to compete fairly with the opponent, Ding Feng does not need to invite these two people out specially. His idea is to use the power of the government to suppress the competitor's operation in the Hispanic-inhabited area. Of course, if the opponent can be directly withdrawn There is nothing better than competition.
Qin Huacheng purposely acted unsure in front of those two people, just in case he failed to get things done, at least it made them mentally prepared in advance.But he really didn't find it difficult to check the details of a Ming businessman.
Although the public security police organization is only a temporary establishment, the special nature of the violent organization determines that its authority is far superior to that of ordinary government offices.In the name of maintaining law and order, investigating people's information is one of the normal functions of the public security police. Although Qin Huacheng's official position is not high, it is enough to independently inquire about people's household registration information.As long as he goes to the Manila Police Headquarters in the city, he should be able to find out the detailed personal information of the shopkeeper of Chaosheng Store, which is much easier than going to the south of the city to find out the situation himself.
But Qin Huacheng knew that even if it was something that was easy to do, he couldn't easily show his truth in front of these two old foxes, otherwise, not only would they not be grateful for his efforts, but they would even despise him even more.It is necessary to keep their hearts hanging, so that they can truly value their own existence and role.However, there seemed to be some discrepancies between the reality and Qin Huacheng's imagination. This task seemed not as easy as he imagined.
The next day, Qin Huacheng found an excuse and entered the city with some documents that needed to be reported to the police headquarters.The Manila Police Headquarters is also located in the castle area where there are many official institutions in the north of the city. This house was the weapon warehouse of the city defense army during the Western Union period. After the war, all the Western-style weapons stored here were removed, some were destroyed, and some were discounted Sold to the Portuguese, the house was used to set up the Metropolitan Police Department.
Although almost all the security police officers on duty inside and outside the city are young and strong recruited from the local area like Qin Huacheng, but most of the police officers working in the Police Headquarters are from Haihan.Police Chief Yu Zhen is an old naturalized citizen who has served Haihan for many years. He joined the Haihan Police Force as a Yacheng policeman and became the head of the Shilu Hard Labor Camp all the way. In 1635, he was transferred back to Sanya for a period of training. Promoted training, and then sat in an office in the Police Department for about a year to familiarize myself with agency affairs.When the executive committee was planning to conquer the west, Yu Zhen became a candidate on the list of dispatched officials.At the end of the war, he came to Manila with Qiu Yuan, and then took on the task of establishing a local security agency.
If you look at Aftershock's working experience in the past few years, you can find that he has visited almost all the departments under the Police Department. He has rich experience in the police system and local security management. He was assigned to Manila to be in charge of the Police Headquarters. The leadership work can be regarded as the best use of talents.
After taking office, the biggest problem Yu Zhen faced was not the resistance and riots of the local people, but the serious shortage of police manpower.After the war, there were only [-] to [-] police officers transferred from China, and most of them came from the grassroots. Therefore, the work of building local police agencies and directing daily operations almost all fell on Aftershock.In order to solve the problem of insufficient manpower, Yu Zhen recruited a large number of young and strong people from the local area, mainly Han people, and established a security police department composed of these temporary police officers, through which the security police managed and monitored the local social security.
The effect of this is obvious. These security police who are familiar with the local conditions are undoubtedly much faster than the Haihan police officers who have just arrived, and it is difficult to pass the test in front of them.Especially the Hispanic personnel who used to ride on the heads of the Han people to do their best, they were watched by the security police, mainly Han people, and they might be arrested on charges if they were not careful. Be careful with your words and deeds to avoid getting into trouble.In this way, it also virtually reduced the chances of local Hispanic people rebelling against the new rulers, and quickly improved the security situation in Manila.
But the disadvantages also follow. These security police who are familiar with the local conditions have too many opportunities to use their power for personal gain. As for the situation at the grassroots level of the police force, what they control is only the general situation of each detachment. More sources of information have to rely on the work reports of each detachment leader, and then the senior police officers will issue new instructions to them.A security police detachment leader like Qin Huacheng, although not a big official, has a lot of authority and is extremely free in his actions. As long as he uses a little brains, it is effortless to use his status to gain some benefits for himself.
At this stage, no matter whether it is the Temporary Management Committee or the aftershocks, there is no particularly good solution to these disadvantages.Haihan must use these people to manage the local public security, and these small and big problems cannot be avoided. As long as it does not affect Haihan's rule, the officials will generally keep their eyes closed. , will not care too much about the small actions of his subordinates.Like Qin Huacheng, who took advantage of businessmen and leaked some innocuous information, no one would investigate him to the bottom.
When Qin Huacheng arrived at the Police Headquarters, he first went to the archives office and handed over the documents he had brought. After getting the receipt, he went straight to the household registration office next door.After Haihan took over Manila, he began to compile and sort out the local household registration files, partly relying on the archives left by the Spanish rulers, but most of the registration work still needs to be done from scratch.One of the main tasks of the Western Management Bureau where Francis works is to register the information of the local Hispanic people.
Qin Huacheng knew that the manager Ran of the Chaosheng Commercial Store was from the Ming Dynasty, and this kind of foreign businessman resident in Manila should also have a detailed household registration information at the Police Headquarters.After Qin Huacheng showed his ID to the staff here, he asked to inquire about this person's information.
The clerk asked Qin Huacheng to write down the name, location and other personal information of the person inquiring, and then got up and went to the reference room.This Ran Tianlu has a name and a surname, so it must be filed in a foreign businessman, and it shouldn't take too long to find it.
Sure enough, the clerk came back not long after, but he did not bring any information about Ran Tianlu, but returned the inquiry information written by Qin Huacheng to him, shaking his head to express that he could not inquire.
Qin Huacheng wondered: "Could it be that this person hasn't registered his household registration yet? No, as far as I know, the south side of the city was the first to register. How could he have missed the Chaosheng Commercial Store? Could it be that you didn't see it clearly, brother, please go and run again How are you?"
The clerk waved his hand and said, "It's not that it's not registered, it's that you can't check."
Qin Huacheng was even more puzzled now: "As the head of the Hong Kong Security Police Detachment, why can't I investigate?"
The clerk said: "This person's file has confidentiality restrictions, you can't check it if you are not high enough, go back."
"Confidentiality restrictions?" Qin Huacheng frowned, and it took a long time to recall that the police officer mentioned during the induction training that not everyone can check the files in the Police Headquarters, and some of the classified contents must be obtained. Only those who have certain job authority are eligible to inquire.The position of my detachment leader is not small, but if I say it is big, it may not even touch the big side. I have a superintendent above me, and a superintendent above the superintendent. The real big shots are in the management.
There are some things in the Police Headquarters that can only be seen by the big shots. Naturally, this is a very normal thing, but this is the first time Qin Huacheng has encountered such a thing, so it is a bit new, and he asked the clerk what authority he needs to inquire about this. person profile.
The clerk responded impatiently: "Have you never learned the confidentiality regulations? Don't ask if you shouldn't ask! I have said that you don't have enough authority. If you insist on investigating, you should report to the higher authorities! If the director approves Now, you can come and check."
Qin Huacheng was secretly surprised, but pretended nothing had happened on his face, and left after thanking the clerk.He knew that his status was low, and he couldn't even meet the director, so how could he get any approval.It's just that the identity information of the Ming businessman has such a high level of confidentiality authority, which really makes him a little confused.At the request of Ding Feng, he came here to check the information of another Ming businessman, and it was very smooth at that time, without any authority requirements. Obviously, this Ran Tianlu's identity is a bit special, so that the officials provided him with some kind of information. special shelter.
But this not only did not dispel Qin Huacheng's idea of finding out, but aroused his curiosity.He had already heard a lot of rumors about the Chaosheng Shop and its shopkeeper, Ran Tianlu, and what happened today made him very curious about who this businessman was, and how powerful he was.
With nothing else to do, Qin Huacheng decided to go to the immigration office again to see if there was any other way to find out the news.His elder brother, Qin Huaming, works in the Immigration Department. According to its functions, the Immigration Department also needs to register foreigners who live in the local area all the year round, and it is said that the intermediary business of immigrating immigrants from Daming to Manila is done by Chaosheng Commercial Store. It's just a matter of time to ask my brother to see if there is anything special about it.
Qin Huaming shook his head after listening to him explaining his intentions, and said, "I don't know much about Chaosheng Commercial Store, but it is unquestionable that the immigration affairs were personally ordered by the Temporary Management Committee. But if you want to find It’s best to save the trouble of Chaosheng Trading Post, this trading post must have a deep background, otherwise how can it monopolize this business.”
Qin Huacheng laughed forcefully and said, "Why am I bothering with this store, I'm just curious to find out what's so special about this store, so that the Temporary Management Committee can arrange a sale for it."
Qin Huaming said: "Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. If you are really interested, you might as well take a trip to the south of the city. It's not far away anyway. Going to see the situation of the store may solve your doubts. "
Qin Huacheng thought it was reasonable, so he bid farewell to Qin Huaming, and went straight to the south of the city, intending to see what kind of crouching tiger, hidden dragon this store was.
It has been more than a month since the end of the war, and the ruins of the city wall and the city gate that were blown down in the south of the city have been basically cleaned up. About one-third of the height of the original city wall was removed, and the city gate was completely removed, turning into an open intersection.However, the city defense army still set up checkpoints for entering and leaving the city here as usual, but the strictness of the interrogation is not as good as those days when the war just ended.
Qin Huacheng was wearing the uniform of a security policeman, so the city defense army would naturally not make things difficult for him, and he left the city without a hitch.Walking along the avenue in the south of the city for about a mile, you can already see a flagpole on the roof of a house in front of you. The black background and white characters on the flag are the words "tide rising".From a long distance away, Qin Huacheng saw carriages and soft sedan chairs constantly coming and going from that place, which seemed quite busy.
When you get closer, you can see that the side of this place facing the South Avenue is full of pavements, and the branch road that the carriage and soft sedan enters and exits leads to a rather large courtyard behind these pavements facing the street. This place is Today, Chaosheng Commercial Store is the largest operating scale in the south of Manila.
