Chapter 806: The Deputy Director and the Small Trash!
Yijing, the government office of the Central Coordination Office
In an antique office, Ji Xian with a serious expression was flipping through the files and archives on the desk...

Seven days ago, he officially took office as the deputy director of the Coordination Office. As the saying goes, a new official starts with three big things, and everyone in the Coordination Office was secretly observing what he would do. However, this new deputy director behaved very low-key and did not interfere too much with the original operation mode of the Coordination Office.

The reason why Ji Xian did this was entirely because he remembered the mission that Ye Mingsheng had given him!

It was similar to what the spies of all sizes in the Coordination Office had guessed. Ji Xian was indeed just a figurehead in the Royal Guard Battalion. His real department was the most mysterious Internal Guard within the Fengwu Army. Moreover, his position in the Internal Guard was not low, second only to the man hiding in Ye Mingsheng's shadow!
Before taking over as deputy director of the Coordination Office, Ye Mingsheng summoned him and emphasized to him the two tasks of his trip!

The first task is to get to the bottom of all the messes within the Coordination Office!
The second task is also the most important, which is to strengthen the intelligence capabilities of the Coordination Office!
A lot of things have happened both internally and externally recently, but the Coordination Office, as the eyes and ears of the Fengwu Army, was slow to realize it. Ye Mingsheng was very dissatisfied with this situation!

Although he was very dissatisfied with this, considering the special nature of the Coordination Office as an intelligence department, Ye Mingsheng did not intend to let Ji Xian carry out a major purge in the Coordination Office·······························
Ye Mingsheng plans to use Ji Xian as fresh blood to inject into the Coordination Office, hoping to trigger a catfish effect to enhance the competitiveness of the Coordination Office as an intelligence department!

Ji Xian felt that the Coordination Office should undergo a major overhaul, but as an internal guard who faithfully carried out Ye Mingsheng's orders, he still had to follow Ye Mingsheng's orders.

Therefore, although he took over the position of deputy director, Ji Xian behaved very low-key in the Coordination Office, and secretly promoted the two tasks assigned by Ye Mingsheng.

Because he came from the Internal Security Bureau, Ji Xian had been secretly supervising the Coordination Office, so he was well aware of the mess within the office. The only difficulty in the mission now was that Wang Xuecheng and Huo San had reached a consensus on this matter, and they were covering up for each other and were quietly exerting resistance during the investigation.

Although the task was difficult, Ji Xian had anticipated the situation, so he was not surprised at all. He believed that as long as he was given enough time, he would be able to check all the accounts of the Coordination Office and successfully complete the task assigned to him by Ye Mingsheng.

However, compared to the first task, Ji Xian felt a bit troubled by the second task, which was to enhance the intelligence capabilities of the Coordination Office.

Although he has accumulated rich work experience in the Internal Security, the work of the Internal Security is mainly to supervise the internal affairs of the Fengwu Army, while the work of the General Coordination Office focuses on external affairs and dealing with anti-reconnaissance and anti-infiltration by enemy spy departments such as the Supervisory Department. Ji Xian is relatively unfamiliar with this work...
Although he felt some difficulties in the work, after thinking carefully for a while, Ji Xian decided to focus on anti-infiltration to complete this task. After all, compared with foreign intelligence, anti-reconnaissance and anti-infiltration had many similarities with his previous work, and it would be easier for him to start work quickly.

After choosing his career direction, Ji Xianze set his sights on one person!

This person is——Jiang Kuang!
As for this inspectorate's chief of the Fengwu Army's intelligence network, he has always been the focus of Fengwu Army's attention. Both Huo Sancheng and Wang Xuecheng have dealt a severe blow to him!
Up to now, the Fengwu Army has captured a man who claimed to be Jiang Kuang, and killed another Jiang Kuang, but according to the report from the spies of the Coordination Office hidden in Luoan, this Jiang Kuang is still active in Yijing, Liaoyang and other areas, and continues to send intelligence back to Luoan!

Based on this situation, the Coordination Office has two different opinions!

The first opinion is that Jiang Kuang was just a code name, not a real person, and that those captured and killed by the Fengwu Army were the real Jiang Kuang. The evidence is that the Coordination Office dug out a lot of valuable intelligence from the captured Jiang Kuang and eliminated several secret agents of the Inspectorate who had been lurking in the Fengwu Army for many years.

In the process of killing another Jiang Kuang, the General Coordination Office also prevented the leakage of important intelligence of the Fengwu Army, which made the conspiracy that the Supervisory Office had been brewing for several months fail.

The second opinion is that Jiang Kuang is a real person, and the Jiang Kuang captured and shot dead by the Coordination Office was just a smokescreen. The Supervisory Department is using this method to confuse the Coordination Office!
People holding these two opinions could not convince each other, and the difficulty in distinguishing the truth from the falsehood troubled the Coordination Office for a long time. Even Ye Mingsheng knew about this Jiang Kuang incident.

Therefore, Ji Xian felt that if he could solve this problem, on the one hand, he would be able to give an explanation to Ye Mingsheng, and on the other hand, it would also help him gain a foothold in the Coordination Office. Ji Xian was very clear that because of his background in the Internal Guard, there was a sense of rejection towards him within the Coordination Office.

Ji Xian had carefully considered these two opinions about Jiang Kuang and checked all the files and archives about Jiang Kuang in the Coordination Office. Three days ago, he personally went to the prison of the Coordination Office to interrogate Jiang Kuang who was captured by the Coordination Office, but he did not gain any new results.

Faced with these evidences, Ji Xian rationally believed that it was more likely that Jiang Kuang was a code name. After all, if it was just a smokescreen, then the price paid by the Supervisory Department to hide Jiang Kuang’s true identity could be said to be very high, and some of the prices were completely unnecessary...
Although he thought so intellectually, his intuition told Ji Xian that the second possibility was more likely!
Although he was still a little uncertain, Ji Xian was basically certain that Jiang Kuang must be hiding in a confidential department of the Fengwu Army.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to obtain so much confidential information about the Fengwu Army. After confirming this, the next thing to do was very simple.

That is to check each confidential department one by one. The first three departments to be checked are the attendant department closest to Ye Mingsheng, the General Staff Headquarters that formulates various combat plans of the Fengwu Army, and the last one is the Coordination Office itself!
The second batch included the First General Manufacturing Bureau, the Second General Manufacturing Bureau, the Financial Department, the Da Dong Sheng Company, the Personnel Bureau, the Political Affairs Bureau, the Legal Affairs Bureau, etc.

However, Ji Xian felt that if nothing unexpected happened, this mysterious Jiang Kuang was hiding in the Military Affairs Department, the General Staff, and the Coordination Office itself. Thinking of this, Ji Xian couldn't help but look forward to seeing the true face of Jiang Kuang!
···································
···································
Just as Ji Xian was busy tracking down clues about Jiang Kuang, in a corner of the Coordination Office's government office, Zhang Chengzhe, who had just finished going to the toilet, walked out of the toilet and returned to his workstation.

Zhang Chengzhe, who was sitting on a chair, picked up the newspaper out of boredom and started reading the serialized version of "Zhenwu Fumo Zhuan" in the newspaper today.

Although it was near the end of the year, the Coordination Office was still very busy. However, because he had just undertaken a very dangerous undercover mission, his superior, Captain Sun Taihai, sympathized with him and arranged a leisurely position for him so that he could have a good rest for a while.

Zhang Chengzhe was very happy at first because of his boss's kindness, but after a few days of idleness, he felt bored. Although he wanted to join the new deputy director Ji Xian and try his luck at making a fortune, unfortunately, he was just a small salted fish in the Coordination Office, and there were more than a thousand small salted fish like him in the Coordination Office. Therefore, even if he wanted to join Ji Xian, the reality was that he couldn't even see Ji Xian!

What Zhang Chengzhe found incomprehensible was that Ji Xian, whom he had thought would do great things in the Coordination Office, behaved very low-key after officially joining the office. The Coordination Office continued to operate according to the original model, and the new person Ji Xian did not make any changes to the Coordination Office······························
Zhang Chengzhe is very disappointed with this situation. If Ji Xian does not carry out a major overhaul, his path to advancement in the Coordination Office will be blocked. In this way, he can only gain experience in the Coordination Office step by step!
Although Zhang Chengzhe was very angry about this, he had no way to deal with it. After all, he was just a small figure and his own destiny was not in his own hands!

After finishing reading The Legend of Zhenwu, Zhang Chengzhe glanced at the sky outside. Seeing the sun hanging high in the sky, he realized that it was already noon, and an idea immediately came to his mind.

What are you having for lunch?
As the only intelligence department of the Fengwu Army, the General Coordination Office openly received funding approved by the Finance Department, but secretly some of its industries also made a lot of money.

Although most of the money earned was taken away by the director, the chief payer, the centurion and others, small fry like them could still get a taste of the soup.

These are reflected in the welfare of the Coordination Office. In addition to the salary and rice, flour, grain, oil, chicken, duck, fish, meat, porcelain, tea and cloth distributed during festivals, the Coordination Office specially invited the chef of Sanheju, a famous restaurant in Yijing, to be the chef of the Coordination Office's canteen.

The three meals a day not only have enough white rice and white flour steamed buns, but also meat in every meal, and every now and then there are also shrimps, river crabs and other fresh river and seafood...

In terms of food standards, the food at the Unified Coordination Office was better than that in the homes of ordinary landlords and rich people, and better than most families of the same period.

Although he was dissatisfied with the promotion mechanism within the Coordination Office, Zhang Chengzhe was still very satisfied with the food there. The only regret was that he could only eat the food there and could not bring it home, otherwise he could have caught a big braised carp yesterday and let his parents have a taste of it.

When he arrived at the cafeteria and saw that today's meat dish was braised pork elbow and large bone sticks, Zhang Chengzhe immediately became interested and ordered three steamed buns. He took a bite of the pork elbow and another bite of the steamed bun and began to eat happily. After an incense stick of time, Zhang Chengzhe finished his meal and planned to return to his workstation, stay there for more than an hour before going home after get off work.

However, at this moment, his boss Sun Taihai found him and ordered:
"Zhang Chengzhe, pack up and come with me!"

Hearing his boss's words, Zhang Chengzhe replied subconsciously:
"Yes!"

After saying this, he asked with some anticipation:

"Sir, what are you going to do this time?"

Sun Taihai said casually:
“Come with me to the south of the city. There’s a gambling house that was found to have no license…”

After saying this, Sun Taihai walked towards the mansion gate without saying much. Zhang Chengzhe followed closely behind him, his heart full of doubts.

According to the regulations of the Fengwu Army, any gambling house or brothel opened in the Fengwu Army must hold a license. Without a license, a gambling house or brothel cannot be opened. Violators will be severely punished. Even if they have a license, they must undergo regular inspections by the Fengwu Army. If they fail the inspection, they will be warned, fined, suspended from business, or even have their operating license revoked.

But generally speaking, this is the job of the City Defense Bureau, not the scope of their Coordination Office!

The last time their Coordination Office conducted an inspection of these unlicensed gambling houses and brothels was a few years ago under the order of the Marshal.

And now Captain Sun is taking himself and others to investigate this gambling house. Is there something special about this gambling house that requires the intervention of the Coordination Office?

With such doubts, half an hour later, Sun Taihai, Zhang Chengzhe and others arrived at the crime scene in the south of the city...

On the surface, this is a blacksmith shop, but inside the shop is a small gambling house. Under the supervision of the City Defense Department, dozens of gamblers are kneeling on the ground in a very embarrassed manner, being interrogated by the officers of the City Defense Department.

Upon seeing their group, a small leader from the City Defense Department immediately came over to take over. After a few words of greeting, the small leader of the City Defense Department immediately led Sun Taihai and his group to a secret room in the gambling house.

Looking at the crossbows, armor and three-barreled guns placed in the secret room, the faces of Sun Taihai, Zhang Chengzhe and others became extremely serious. At the same time, the little leader of the City Defense Department also introduced:
“The man who opened this gambling house is called Deng Gao, and he is also the owner of this blacksmith shop. When our City Defense Department received a report and came to search, he led his men to resist with weapons and was killed on the spot. Then we found these things in this secret room. According to the blacksmiths, these things were made by Deng Gao…”
