Anti-Japanese War: I am the warlord of Ping'an County! The whole army is German!

Chapter 268 The Intelligence Bureau secretly investigates Qiao Anbang!

"Don't investigate this matter for now, and don't let Lin Wei know about it. Issue a gag order to the intelligence team in Chidong County."

"But arrange for some people to enter the Qiao Family Compound to see if Qiao Anbang is a member of the Eighth Route Army or if he has merely funded the Eighth Route Army."

"We are also investigating the specific relationship between the Qiao family and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, as well as the relationship between Qiao Anbang and Commander Yan."

Zhou Weimin thought for a long time, then picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said to Zhou Liang.

At this moment, Zhou Weimin wanted to know all the information about Qiao Anbang, which was related to Zhou Weimin's future attitude towards Qiao Anbang.

"Master, I have secretly investigated Qiao Anbang's information a long time ago, and we also have people in the Qiao Family Compound."

"I've had suspicions about Qiao Anbang and the Eighth Route Army before, but nothing has been confirmed."

After hearing Zhou Weimin's words, Zhou Liang hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Zhou Weimin cautiously.

Zhou Liang had never reported the secret investigation of Qiao Anbang to Zhou Weimin before, as he was worried that Zhou Weimin would be angry about it.

Because Zhou Liang knew that Zhou Weimin really doted on Qiao Linwei, Zhou Liang was afraid that Zhou Weimin would love her too much!

But what Zhou Liang didn't expect was that Zhou Weimin was not angry at all. On the contrary, he praised him.

"Yes, you did a good job. You are in charge of intelligence, and this is what you need to do."

"Investigate anyone you find suspicious and problematic. This is what your intelligence chief should do most."

"So tell me, what were the results of your secret investigation?"

After hearing Zhou Liang's words, Zhou Weimin looked at Zhou Liang and felt that Zhou Liang was indeed suitable to be the head of intelligence. Then he slowly spoke to Zhou Liang.

In fact, Zhou Weimin asked Zhou Liang to manage the Intelligence Bureau because he had many people he trusted.

Zhou Liang and Zhou Ming followed the original owner since childhood. They are very loyal to the original owner and have deep feelings for the original owner.

So when Zhou Weimin was just reborn, he planned to make use of Zhou Liang and Zhou Ming.

As a modern man, Zhou Weimin understood the importance of intelligence, so he handed over the intelligence matters to Zhou Liang.

As for why not hand over the intelligence matter to Zhou Ming?

That's because compared to Zhou Liang, Zhou Ming was obviously not suitable for intelligence work, so Zhou Weimin arranged Zhou Ming in the army.

Originally, Zhou Weimin planned to train Zhou Ming to be a general and let Zhou Ming help him manage the troops.

But Zhou Ming was really not suitable for the army and had no military talent. It was also difficult for Zhou Ming to lead the troops on his own.

So Zhou Weimin had no choice but to arrange Zhou Ming in the logistics unit, but what Zhou Weimin did not expect was that Zhou Ming was extremely suitable for the logistics unit.

It seems that Zhou Ming is suitable for the position of housekeeper.

Then let Zhou Ming manage the logistics. Zhou Ming's management has been in good order in the past few months.

Zhou Liang is also good at intelligence work.

The two brothers Zhou Ming and Zhou Liang, one helps Zhou Weimin with logistics and housekeeping, and the other helps Zhou Weimin gather intelligence.

Now the two brothers Zhou Ming and Zhou Liang have completely adapted to life in the army. Privately, Zhou Ming and Zhou Liang both call Zhou Weimin "Young Master".

But in public, the two brothers Zhou Ming and Zhou Liang both called each other "Master", and it was not known whether Zhou Weimin had bullied Zhou Ming and Zhou Liang since childhood.

In short, Zhou Ming and Zhou Liang were both very afraid of Zhou Weimin, and that fear came from the bottom of their hearts.

"Master, when Madam appeared, I had the idea of investigating the Qiao Family Compound."

"The last time Madam came home, there were people from my intelligence agency among the guards, and several of them have infiltrated the Qiao Family Compound in the past few months."

"There are also people from our Intelligence Bureau in the Qiao Family Chamber of Commerce. I have also bribed a few of the Qiao Family Chamber of Commerce's managers."

"The Qiao family's chief butler and the second butler also have us by their side..."

Zhou Liang said so much but didn't get to the point, which made Zhou Weimin a little angry, so Zhou Weimin interrupted and said, "Speak of the point, the point."

"I don't want to hear about your intelligence agency's work process. I just want to know what your intelligence agency has investigated."

After hearing Zhou Weimin's words, Zhou Liang was stunned for a moment. He had never seen Zhou Weimin like this before.

Every time Zhou Weimin gets anxious about something, it means that this matter is very important to him.

So Zhou Liang didn't say anything more about the intelligence bureau's investigation process, but directly stated the result.

"Master, we've found out that many of the managers and employees of the Qiao Family Chamber of Commerce are relatives of officers from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

"The owners of the Qiao Family Chamber of Commerce don't respect Mr. Qiao very much and they have their own ideas."

"Seven or eight out of ten of the Qiao Family Chamber of Commerce's annual earnings go to Commander Sun of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

"Also, the owners of the Qiao Family Chamber of Commerce, who are relatives of officers from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, all have their own businesses and use the Qiao Family Chamber of Commerce to make some profits."

"It can be said that although the Qiao Family Chamber of Commerce officially belongs to Mr. Qiao, Mr. Qiao has very poor control over it."

"Especially in the past two years, those officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army have planted people in the Qiao Family Chamber of Commerce."

"The Qiao Family Chamber of Commerce is now the private treasury of these Shanxi-Suiyuan Army officers."

"So the conclusion we reached is that the Qiao Family Chamber of Commerce was controlled by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and Mr. Qiao was just a person who was pushed out."

"Also, Mr. Qiao's main business is not the Qiao Family Chamber of Commerce, but the Qiao Family Trade Route."

"Mr. Qiao owns a trade route that runs through the Northwest. This is his main source of income."

"No, it's said that Mr. Qiao has a trade route to the north. As long as you know this trade route, you can sell goods throughout the north."

"This is about Mr. Qiao's business. We are currently investigating the business routes in Mr. Qiao's hands."

"Unfortunately, there has been no progress. This trade route is only known to Mr. and Mrs. Qiao's cousin Ren Feipeng."

"Because we discovered that your cousin, Ren Feipeng, has traveled this trade route three times in the past two years."

"Inside the Qiao Family Compound..."

Zhou Weimin suddenly interrupted Zhou Liang and asked, "Cousin Lin Wei, has your intelligence agency conducted any investigation?"

Zhou Weimin had heard of Qiao Linwei's cousin Ren Feipeng from what Qiao Linwei told him.

Qiao Linwei always said that her cousin was a good-for-nothing who could do nothing but fool around.

Whenever he ran out of money, he would come to Qiao's house to ask Qiao Anbang for it. Every time, Qiao Anbang would scold Ren Feipeng and then give him some money.

Now it seems that cousin Qiao Linwei is not an ordinary person!

Maybe what Qiao Linwei saw was all an illusion, and it might be a double act between Qiao Anbang and Ren Feipeng.

You know, the North is in chaos right now. There are all kinds of forces: warlords, bandits, devils, local armed forces...

But even so, Ren Feipeng can still travel the entire northern trade route. Can this guy be a waste?
