Siheyuan: Enemy spies are captured every time

"These three imitation Tianhuang triple seals have been confirmed by experts to be imitations without a doubt. Expert appraisal showed that they were imitations made last month, but they are exquisitely crafted and basically a one-to-one replica. If the patina was thicker and the color was darker, they would be completely indistinguishable from the real thing." An expert said in disbelief.

“How can there be such a realistic imitation?”

"This is a huge investment, the Tianhuang Triple Seal!"

"Yes, the Tianhuang Triple Seal, ordinary people have never even heard of it, let alone seen it. If you use it to cheat people, you will definitely cheat them."

"Yes, yes, it's incredible, absolutely incredible!"

The imitation Tianhuang triple seal was played with by several experts, who praised it highly. The craftsmanship and carving were completely at the national art level. They could not think of anyone else who had such skills.

As far as they knew, none of the skilled ones had ever carved this thing.

"The experts are among the people!" one of the experts sighed.

"I say, this is not called experts among the people. If this gets out, how many families will be ruined?" another expert retorted.

"Yeah, yeah!" another expert agreed.

Chinese culture has a history of five thousand years, and there are countless cultural relics, antiques, and rare treasures that bear witness to the history.

How many literati and poets like these things, some of them are willing to spend all their fortunes on them, but if they are fooled, they will just consider themselves unlucky. The most infuriating thing is that these things are not completely fake, at least you can't find any fault with the material and workmanship.

The antique industry is a very complicated one!

Unfortunately, starting next year, the antique industry will suffer an unprecedented blow!

There are countless people who have damaged cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, which has created a huge market space for those who later made and sold counterfeit works. This is also the reason why Hua Chengyu suspected that this incident was being taken advantage of.

Because many people have seen many things, but then they were damaged, but reappeared. Later, after many rounds of hype and TV programs, everything was linked together. The market is worth tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions. There are even trillions of dollars.

It can be said to be outrageous. I wonder if there is any trace of the old Chaofeng?

There is not much time left for Hua Chengyu!

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, what are you thinking about?" The deputy commander of the garrison who was sitting next to him touched him gently.

"Oh, Deputy Commander Rong, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now!" The army is different from the local government. The chief and deputy commanders cannot be called by names randomly, otherwise it will cause big trouble.

Hua Chengyu knows this.

"It's okay. An expert asked you where you got it?" Deputy Commander Rong pointed to the Tianhuang triple seal in front of him.

"I'll keep this secret for now!" Hua Chengyu didn't want to tell the story in front of so many people.

Deputy Commander Rong nodded, turned around and said to everyone: "Thank you all for coming. I invite you to have a meal in the cafeteria and then have a good rest in the guesthouse. We have arranged everything for you!"

Deputy Commander Rong waved his hand and had the experts led out of the conference room.

"Xiao Yu, please put away these three imitation Tian Huang triple seals!" Deputy Commander Rong said with a smile, "Although they are imitations, they are worth a lot. If you don't put them away, I will be jealous."

"Shouldn't this be handed in?" Hua Chengyu asked in confusion.

"This is not dirty stuff, why should you hand it in?" Deputy Commander Rong waved his hand, signaling him to put it away quickly.

"Uncle Rong!"

"Hey! You kid, you have been serious since you joined the task force. I thought you didn't recognize me as your uncle. And you, the kid from the Xiao family, I didn't expect you have grown up so big." Deputy Commander Rong said with a smile.

"How is that possible!" Hua Chengyu hastily denied: "Isn't this a job requirement?"

Deputy Commander Rong straightened his general uniform and stood up: "Let's go and eat!"

Small private room on the third floor of the garrison cafeteria!

"Tell me, how did you get these three imitation Tianhuang triple seals?" Deputy Commander Rong asked curiously.

Hua Chengyu had no choice but to recount what happened that morning.

"You are quite courageous, aren't you afraid that Fei'er will stop following you, or that your Uncle Su or your father will beat you with a belt?" Deputy Commander Rong turned around and said with a smile, "I will report this to the old commander."

"No, Uncle Rong, I didn't do anything bad!" Hua Chengyu said anxiously.

His father is in the southwest now and can't take care of him, but his uncle is in the capital. If he wants to give him a call, he has to go to his uncle himself. How easy is that.

"Have you done anything bad? You openly accepted bribes from workers. Isn't that called..."

"Uncle Rong, you are being unreasonable. I spent 100 yuan to buy it, and it's a fake. How can you openly accept bribes from workers? I have a small head and this hat is too big for me to wear."

"If it was the real thing, would I ask you to put it away?" Deputy Commander Rong glared at Hua Chengyu fiercely.

This kid was the least worrying one when he was young. Now that he has grown up, unexpectedly he has become bolder as well. Fortunately, he is still very rigorous in doing things.

No one can say anything about the money spent.

Although the actual value of these three imitation Tianhuang triple seals may be much higher than 100 yuan, so what? Everyone has mistakes.

It's just the seller's fault for not knowing the goods. No one can find fault with Hua Chengyu's idiom.

"Brother, this is no small matter. Could it be done by the old Chaofeng?" Xiao Tianci said seriously.

"I think so too!" Hua Chengyu nodded. Ordinary people have never seen or heard of these objects. Besides, look at the workmanship and craftsmanship. They are full of royal craftsmen." Hua Chengyu pointed to the three imitation Tianhuang triple seals on the table and said.

"By the way, Uncle Rong, has our scout made any progress?" Hua Chengyu turned around and asked.

"Yes, according to the intelligence our scouts sent back not long ago, this organization called Lao Chaofeng is very powerful. It is well organized, with a single line of communication between superiors and subordinates! Many people have received special training." Deputy Commander Rong nodded.

"We have the following information now: the Lao Chao Feng organization has a leader named Chao Feng Ye. No one knows his origins, and no one has ever seen him. Only a very few Lao Chao Fengs have seen him. No one knows whether he is a man or a woman, or whether he is old or young."

"In addition, this person has learned how to change his voice, and he always appears in a mask of a ghost."

"The old Chaofeng has bases in Sijiu City, Liao Province, Hebei Province, Heilongjiang Province, Guangdong Province, Shaanxi Province and Lushang. The scale of the organization is huge!"

"Also, the old Chaofeng has a highest decision-making body called Chaoyuan. We don't know who its current members are or what activities they are engaged in."

"We currently have 35 strongholds under our control, involving more than 100 people from all walks of life, but they are all workers at the bottom of society. Perhaps they themselves don't know that they are working for the old Chaofeng."

"That's all we have at the moment."

Deputy Commander Rong didn't provide much information. How could an organization with footprints in the three northeastern provinces, the Central Plains, and the Northwest, hiding for so many years, not be discovered?

This scared Hua Chengyu.

Apart from the secret service agencies still operating in the mainland of the previous dynasty, the only ones capable of leading such an organization were the court organizations of the previous dynasty.

It is impossible for the court organization of the previous dynasty to have such a scale after the previous dynasty and the Anti-Japanese War? Hua Chengyu was a little bit unconvinced. After all, their boss had been incorporated!

Can you make such a big scene?

It is possible that it was the secret service of the previous dynasty. After all, at the peak of the secret service of the previous dynasty, it was said that there were more than 100,000 people serving them.

In addition, there are the agents left behind by Trump, and the Eagle Sauce and the Russian Bear have used their connections in the country to develop a lot of spies in the country, but Hua Chengyu still cannot accept such a large scale.

"Xiao Yu, what are you thinking about?" Director Xiao asked.

"Uncle Rong, can you show me the list of people you found?"

Commander Rong called a staff member: "Xiao Yu, have you thought of anything?"

"Let me take a look!" After smoking a cigarette, the staff officer brought the list. Hua Chengyu took a quick look and found that it was pretty much what he thought.

Basically, they were nobles from the previous dynasties who changed their names into 13 common Chinese surnames!

Kang, He, Zhang, Lu, He, Suo, Ying, Hao and so on.

"Is there anyone with the surname Jin or Qi?" Hua Chengyu asked. These two surnames were exclusive to the royal family of the previous dynasty. Other nobles of the previous dynasty were not allowed to change these two surnames.

Of course, some members of the royal family have changed their surnames to other surnames, but other members cannot change these two surnames!

"Yes, the old court official in Guangdong Province is surnamed Jin, but our scouts didn't find out his specific name. The old court official in Sijiu City is surnamed Qi, but he only has one surname, and there is no more information."

"Xiao Yu, what do you mean by asking this?" asked Deputy Commander Rong.

"That's right, this old Chaofeng is the spy organization of the royal family of the previous dynasty!" Hua Chengyu said affirmatively.

"We have thought of this too, but Xiaohua, have you ever thought about maintaining such a large spy organization? The expenses are not small. Where is their source of income?" Xiao Tianci asked a very crucial question.

"This is easy to solve! First of all, when the previous dynasty fell, the government at the time stipulated that all assets of the palace belonged to the royal family. This is the first reason. Later, when the collection was carried out, it was found that thousands of good things were missing. These must have been hidden by them. It is said that they are worth tens of millions of dollars. Second, foreign funding. Third, it is like this now, counterfeiting and selling fake antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and cultural relics. After all, there are many things that ordinary people have never seen."

"If the old Chaofeng really loves the previous dynasty, I think they are not short of money!"

Deputy Commander Rong nodded. When the previous dynasty collapsed, there were as many as 22 people who led the court's salaries, and these were all recorded.

Later generations were not like the feudal dynasties. After the change of dynasties, there was no purge of the previous dynasty. Instead, they were treated preferentially!

According to Deputy Commander Rong's estimation, the entire Jiannu tribe probably has a population of one million, and now there are even more!

Moreover, some of the Jiannu tribes even changed their appearance, and you can’t tell who is the Jiannu tribe at all!

"Uncle Rong, what direction are we scouting in now?"

"There are several. One is to spread some false information in a targeted manner to expose their true colors, for example, using Director Yang of the steel mill and others."

"Also, we need to continue scouting..."

"Wait, Director Yang is also Lao Chaofeng's man?" Hua Chengyu was shocked. He could not believe it. He could not believe it.

"No, according to our investigation, Yang Weimin is a spy from the previous dynasty lurking within our ranks. Xiaoxiao, you already know this. Xiaohua, you should pay attention to this person in the future." Deputy Commander Rong said seriously.

A spy lurking among us?

This person is really capable of hiding. It must have been more than ten years. If it were Hua Chengyu, he would have forgotten his identity long ago.

Yang Weimin is truly a talented person.

"By the way, you may come into contact with people on this list in the future. Be careful after you do so!" Deputy Commander Rong took out the list and showed it to them.

Wow, they are not small figures at all, they have names, positions, and administrative ranks.

There are cadres from level 16 to level 7 (section level to ministerial level, the highest being a deputy minister). That’s amazing. How did Uncle Rong and his team find out?

"So many?" Xiao Tianci frowned. There were more than a dozen people on the list: "Are they all undercover agents of the enemy?"

"Most of them are not! They were all bought off, or maybe the enemy released them for us to see. But we checked, and they have all sold out intelligence to one degree or another!"

Deputy Commander Rong said sadly: "Some of them have been in office for decades, but I didn't expect that they would fall for money and sex in the end. It's heartbreaking!"

There were people like this in that era, but betraying national interests is unforgivable.

"According to the instructions from above, we are not going to move these people for the time being. They are just the tip of the iceberg, and more are still underwater. We must catch them all and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Deputy Commander Rong said bitterly.
