Chapter 439 Ace

   "Lao San, why are you smiling so weird? Whose idea is this?" Sheng Yetian, the uncle of the Sheng clan, looked at his strange expression and felt his hair stand on his back.

"Oh... I'm gone a little bit." Sheng Yeyun reacted quickly, regaining his usual elegant and calm look on his face, and said indifferently; "Brother, I'm afraid that what you said is wrong, what is it that I am hitting someone again? Got an idea? This makes the next person hear that I don’t know what tongue roots to chew. After all, I am a baron noble who was pro-appointed by His Majesty the King. I still want this kind of decentness. Don’t talk nonsense."

   "Well then, it's my gaffe."

   Although Sheng Yetian is a elder brother who is more than 10 years older than him, he is more than 40 years old, and he is a grandson, but he is still a bit shorter in front of this deep-minded third brother.

  "Only this time, not as an example." Sheng Yeyun hummed coldly, turned and walked into the mansion.

  As the patriarch, he is also the "Kapitan" of Batavia leading the Chinese. The baron noble pro-appointed by King William I of the Netherlands, has his own domineering arrogance that cannot be disobeyed by others.

  Looks like a pug in front of the Dutch, and turns into a cannibal wolf.

Sheng Yetian ate in public, and his expression was stunned. He glared at his second brother Sheng Yelin and said; It's rampant, you are his second brother anyway, and you don't know if you stand up and say a fair word, you just watched me get smashed to the root of the wall?"

"Forget it, brother, it's not easy for the third." Sheng Yelin glanced at the courtyard and saw that his third brother Sheng Yeyun had already gone without a trace, so he approached him with a smirk and whispered; "Wag your tail in front of the master and beg for mercy in front of the lord, you can't always have a smile at home, that's how tiring! Besides, our Sheng family can have today's beautiful scenes, and the daily progress of gold depends on the face of the youngest in front of the foreigners. , His awe and prestige are getting stronger now, I am being scolded at every turn as my second brother, and I always be careful with me. Who is willing to catch up and find it uncomfortable?"

   "Oh...more money, more troubles."

  "Then I would rather worry more. As long as I have money to make money, I don't mind if the third child yells 5 or 6 to me. He has real skills and can coax the Dutch people around."

   "Huh...that's playing with fire."

"Brother, it's not that I said you, you... This old brain has really been changed. I don't know if it is playing with fire, but the oldest three have earned real money back, and mine tea gardens have been named one after another. Isn't this fake?"

   "It's nothing more than cleverly taking and arrogantly. It violates the ancestors' precepts of honest management. I always feel that this money is uneasy!"

   "You..." Sheng Yelin was choked by these words and rolled his eyes. He opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. He turned angrily and walked away.

  Fortunately, this family business has not been explained in the hands of the elder brother, otherwise it will inevitably be defeated.

  The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

In a house not far from here, a gentleman with a medium body and a green shirt held a telescope to observe for a long time, and sent the Sheng brothers out of the governor’s group to have a panoramic view, and then put down the telescope and muttered. .

This person is impressively Mr. Qing Song, the deputy director of the Political Affairs Office (formerly the Black Guard) who has made outstanding achievements. He is responsible for the intelligence collection and interception work of the entire South Pacific region (excluding the Far East). Because of his outstanding ability, he has won the appreciation of Lord Earl. .

"Qingsong" is a code name, not his real name. His real name is Danzheng. He was born in a wealthy Chinese overseas immigrant family in Bogor, Java. After the Australian gold rush, he resolutely abandoned the peaceful and superiority of Java with his friends. Live and travel to Australia.

  It can be seen from this incident that there is a factor of eagerness to take risks and restlessness in his character.

  In the work priority of the Political Affairs Office, the intelligence collection on the conservative separatist forces of southern whites ranks first, and it is personally controlled by the director Dai Yingcai, and important situations are reported to Lord Earl at any time.

  The East Indies, especially Java, ranks second. It is the area where the Red Fort focuses on attention. Qing Song, the deputy director of the Political Affairs Office, sits here to closely monitor the movements of the Dutch.

  Governor's Mansion, or Sheng Yeyun, a leading figure in Chinese society, are all key surveillance targets. For many years, they have deployed secret agents to grasp first-hand information, and they have never relaxed.

  This is not...I heard that the Dutch governor-general came to Sheng's mansion, Qing Song rushed over immediately and personally collected intelligence at the monitoring point.

   "Is there any news coming out?"

  "My lord, we don’t have it for the time being. The spies we have installed in the mansion are all servants and women’s nursing homes. It is difficult to find the latest news. Most of them are rumors revealed by side-by-side attacks. The authenticity has yet to be confirmed."

"The order is passed on, focusing on the purpose of the Dutch governor’s visit. I don’t believe that he was just coming to eat a meal. Governor Hoffman has not yet been idle to this point, and there is no need to make friends in order to win the dog legs. He intuitively told I... there must be some other purpose, to use all my strength to find out for me."

   "Oh, Lord."

   Qing Song waved his hand, and his subordinates quickly conveyed the new instructions.

He cast his gaze again to the Sheng family mansion not far away. This is an ancient Chinese manor. The heavy wooden door is decorated with copper nail beast rings. On both sides of the door, there are stone lions in the town house. Wearing a black lab coat and wide-legged pants, the brave team stood bravely and lazily at the door, prohibiting other people from approaching.

  Although it has been deployed, it is difficult to discover the truly valuable intelligence, and Qing Song did not expect too much.

  This kind of traditional Chinese family force has always been a hard bone. They only trust the family and children who have been slaves for generations. The housekeeper and the relatives around them are such family slaves. They share the honor and disgrace with their masters, and their loyalty is quite high.

  Even if some rough maids and servants are mostly of the same clan in the township party, it is almost impossible for outsiders to gain trust.

A few years ago

   Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Sheng Mansion to recruit the volunteers to stand up, the Political Affairs Office placed a few people in, and they have done a good job and have become the team leader, and they are in charge of 20 or 30 people.

   But that's all, I want to find out what really important intelligence is lacking.

   Qingsong withdrew his gaze from searching, and instinctively told him that this time the Dutch governor Earl Hoffman was not a courtesy visit, and it must have some purpose.

  It seems...it’s time to sacrifice.

He holds two aces in his hand, one is Anna Knightley, the wife of the former Cuckoo’s navigator Hou Baofu, and the other is Keira Atkinson, the daughter of a French bankrupt white rancher. The wife of He Shixiong, the former chief engineer of the Cuckoo. Both women were from southern Australia who were arrested in the Cuckoo case.

  After the case is concluded, the relevant personnel have been removed.

  Because these two white women are very useful, they were transferred from the safe place, and the political affairs department took over for further training, which can come in handy at the right time.

  Human persistence is like an egg. After the outer hard shell is broken, the final bottom line is lost. After the last layer of camouflage is torn off, the inside is soft and can be squashed and rounded.

  The political situation naturally does not lack the means to make these two white women bow their heads to their ears. After so long training, it is time to take them out.

  One day in late October 1885

  Batavia Port

The British luxury cruise ship "Princess Mary" from Europe slowly approached the pier. The sailors were busy lowering the gangway. European adventurers, businessmen, noble women and poor land-lost Dutch farmers stepped down to the pier. Suddenly, there was a hustle and bustle.

  Stand on the side of the ship

Keira Atkinson, wearing a jade-white French lady dress, frowned and looked outside. A layer of fine sweat appeared on her white forehead, and her big light blue eyes were filled with helplessness; Oh, my god, my delicate skin cannot withstand such strong sunlight. It was a frustrating trip. I regret the decision to come to this place. It could be a disaster."

   "Madam, this is a tropical area."

"I know this... Anna, don’t need you to remind me. I’m just very disappointed. Looking at the passengers who are eager to disembark, no gentleman has come forward to help the lady who is in trouble. This is the case in France. It is unimaginable, what kind of place did we come to?"

Seeing her performing from now on, Anna Knightley, who was standing behind her with an umbrella in her hand to shield her from the sun, couldn't help but roll her eyes. Because she was not so charming and charming, she could only be aggrieved to be close. Maid.

  "Take the liberty to excuse me... Honorable ladies, I think you need help?" Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. A tall white gentleman who passed by asked politely.

  Wearing well-fitted clothes, he put his cane on his arms, and slightly bent over to do a gentleman's etiquette. This is a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes, and he looks very cultivated.

  Okay, the fish has taken the bait.

   "Oh... this is really embarrassing. I can't refuse your kindness in this strange place, but before that, can I know your identity?"

"Please forgive me for being rude. I am Sir Wenbeck. I am an administrative official in the Governor's House. I have lived in Batavia for more than ten years. I am very familiar with everything here and I firmly believe that I can provide you with everything. Necessary help."

"Oh, great, I am the Baroness Keira Atkinson from France, this is Anna, my loyal personal maid, it may be a disaster to come here to relax, but it is me again to meet you Lucky."

  Kayla Atkinson makes full use of the advantages of a beautiful woman to show the image of a pitiful aristocratic woman in need of help. Not only is the softly contrived wording and sentences not disgusting, but there is a pleasing feeling, which inspires a man's strong desire for protection.

   Asking Anna to say the same thing, it will not achieve such an effect.

"Please rest assured that the Baroness, Batavia is a beautiful and unforgettable city, it will definitely leave a good impression on you, um...please disembark with me, leave the luggage and items, my people The luggage will be delivered to the place where it should go."

   "Uh...that's great."

  Hospitable in Sir Wenbeck. . Under the whole picture, Keira Atkinson and Anna got on the luxury carriage that had been waiting at the pier, and soon left the noisy pier and galloped towards Batavia...
