Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 599 Blind Fool

By the time the interrogation of Park Ji-yong was over, it was already late at night.

Logically, they should have been off work and gone home by now, but the situation was different for the Secret Service.

They are military intelligence personnel fighting on the front lines.

While enjoying privileges, they also shoulder extraordinary missions.

After escorting Park Ji-yong back to Jiangcheng Station with Li Yunlong and Chi Tiecheng, the personnel from the Action Section immediately set off.

They had the list of defectors confessed by Park Ji-yong and carried out arrests overnight.

As dawn approached, several of the dispatched task forces returned one after another. The results were quite good.

This time, a total of seven traitors who had defected to the enemy were captured.

They are all the heads of various administrative agencies in Jiangcheng, and the highest-ranking among them is the deputy mayor of the municipal government.

He now has access to Jiangcheng City's core secrets.

When these people were escorted to the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service Department, they were still very arrogant and dissatisfied.

They kept shouting that they were innocent.

They demanded an explanation from Station Chief Tang of the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service Department, demanding justice for them; otherwise, they would not easily compromise.

This also shows that the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service Department was truly utterly useless.

This prestigious intelligence agency wields the power of life and death.

But he ended up being cursed at by several Jiangcheng city government officials.

Even the stationmaster of Lianjiangcheng Station has lost his dignity.

But that was in the past.

Now that Ye Shaohong has taken over the Jiangcheng station of the Special Service Department, he is definitely going to change this situation.

Ye Shaohong didn't hold back with those traitors and collaborators who dared to shout arrogantly even after being arrested.

He led Li Yunlong and Chi Tiecheng out of the office building at Jiangcheng Station.

"How brave!"

"You've already been arrested and brought to our intelligence department, and you still dare to shout and yell here?"

"I heard someone wants to see me? Who is it? Step forward and let's see how big you are, daring me, Ye Shaohong, to personally clear your name?"

A cold, muffled groan rang out, and Ye Shaohong took a few steps forward, arriving in front of the middle-aged man who had been shouting the loudest earlier.

Before the middle-aged man could react, Ye Shaohong had already kicked him.

He kicked the middle-aged man to the ground.

"You were shouting pretty loudly just now?"

"Come on, tell me, what's your name and what position do you hold? How dare you be so insolent in my Jiangcheng Station?"

"You're really giving me too much credit!"

Ye Shaohong's kick was very powerful. After he kicked the middle-aged man, the man fell to the ground and struggled for a few moments but was unable to get up again.

Even so, the man still had a look of resentment and discontent on his face.

This surprised Ye Shaohong for a moment.

"Stationmaster, this man's name is Lan Ting!" "He's the vice mayor of Jiangcheng City, and supposedly the brother-in-law of Vice Minister Zhou of the Executive Yuan in Nanjing!"

Standing to the side, Chi Tiecheng, who had personally participated in tonight's arrest operation and knew the details of these people best, immediately offered an explanation.

"Vice Minister Chou of the Executive Yuan?"

"I've never heard of this name before. Is he ranked very high in the Executive Yuan?"

It's no wonder Ye Shaohong was surprised and puzzled.

The power structure of the Republic of China government differed greatly from that of later Chinese dynasties.

Their administrative bodies are mainly the five major courts.

They are the Executive Yuan, the Legislative Yuan, the Examination Yuan, the Judicial Yuan, and the Prosecutor's Office.

Among the five branches of government, the Executive Yuan was the core of the Republic of China government. The infamous traitor Wang Jingwei once served as its premier. The Executive Yuan was also the most important, largest, and most powerful of the five branches.

The Executive Yuan was established on October 25, 1928, and its first premier was the renowned Tan Yankai.

He served as the military governor of Hunan Province three times, was awarded the rank of general and the title of Grand Marshal of the Army, and also served as the chief of staff of the Nanjing National Government.

He participated in the National Protection Movement.

He was known as one of the "Three Gentlemen of Hunan" along with Chen Sanli and Tan Sitong, and also as one of the "Four Gentlemen of Reform" along with Chen Sanli, Xu Renzhu, and Tao Jucun.

He died in Nanjing in 1930, and the Republic of China government held a state funeral for him.

This demonstrates just how powerful the Executive Yuan was during the Republic of China era.

In addition to its permanent administrative offices, the Secretariat and the Administrative Office, the institute also has 11 other departments: the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Navy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Agriculture and Mining, the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Railways, and the Ministry of Health.

It has four committees under its jurisdiction: Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs, Overseas Chinese Affairs, Anti-Smoking, and Construction.

The Anti-Smoking Committee, which was indirectly controlled by Dai Yu-nong, was affiliated with the Executive Yuan and was one of the least important agencies among the major departments.

Seeing this, many people should be able to understand the specific scope of the Executive Yuan's work.

His authority was similar to that of the Six Ministries during the Qing Dynasty.

If the middle-aged man in front of him really had a deputy minister of the Executive Yuan standing behind him, then Ye Shaohong would really have to think twice before dealing with him.

"Hey, stationmaster, don't be fooled by him."

“At first, I was terrified when I heard that his brother-in-law was the Deputy Minister of the Executive Yuan.”

"I thought I had gotten myself into trouble."

"Later, I asked around and found out that the brother-in-law he mentioned was just a figurehead in the Executive Yuan."

"Actually, that person has already stepped down to the second line and is basically no longer in charge!"

Chi Tiecheng's words were still giving that deputy minister face.

Everyone knows the situation in China.

To gauge a person's power within a government agency, one must not only look at their official position but also at the authority they wield.

The so-called "stepping down to the second line" is, in reality, simply a consequence of being ousted in a power struggle.

The so-called "not in charge" means that one no longer has any real power.

Such a person may look glamorous on the surface, but in reality, he might not be able to compare to Ye Shaohong now.

"I see." "With that, he dares to shout and cause trouble inside my Special Service Station in Jiangcheng?"

"He's quite bold!"

Having learned the whole story, Ye Shaohong smiled, his eyes narrowing slightly, as if a cold glint flashed across them.

Then, Ye Shaohong's gaze fell back on the middle-aged man.

"Deputy Vice Minister Zhou's brother-in-law?"

"They are distinguished guests."

"We can't neglect our distinguished guest. Tiecheng, go and give him a proper welcome."

"Let him know what our Special Service Department really does."

"Let those blind fools around here who dare to shout and act arrogantly in my Jiangcheng Special Service Station see if their backing is strong enough to make them act so arrogantly in front of my Special Service Station, and if they are qualified to flaunt their power in front of me, Ye Shaohong!"
