Mr. Kong Ze, the high special commissioner of the French political police, was sitting in his office at the moment, looking at the report that his subordinates had just passed on with a blank face.

Since that time, he had been left alone for a long time to consult with His Excellency the Minister himself, and Mr. Kong Ze's status in the Ministry had faintly improved greatly. Not only did the ministry appoint some capable people as his subordinates at his request, but even the small staff who usually liked to nod their heads and bow down were even more welcoming to him at this time.

That's what it feels like to get ahead, right?

Although Kong Ze never showed his spring breeze in front of others, nor was he as arrogant as some people who were on the rise, the excitement in his heart was no different from those people.

However, what he has obtained now is far from enough, and there is still a complete gap between his ideals and ambitions.

Because of this, he needs to work harder.

Recently, he has been spending more than 10 hours a day in the ministry, either reviewing documents or files, or communicating and coordinating with his new team. Even when I returned home, I often read official documents and reports.

It's hard, yes. However, this is the life that Kong Ze hopes for the most. In this kind of life, he can feel that he is really needed and valued by Shijie.

While he was still reading the report, there was a soft knock at the door.

"Come in." He didn't lift his head.

"Sir." As soon as the visitor came in, he saluted him, and then consciously sat down on the sofa opposite his desk.

It wasn't until after reading the report that Kong Ze raised his head again. "You just interrupted my train of thought, and I hope you can give me some valuable information to make up for this mistake."

Although he said it harshly, Kong Ze was actually just taking the opportunity to establish a personal prestige in the novice's heart - this person was directly requested by His Excellency the Minister to be transferred after careful screening, and he would not be ignorant of the rules, since he suddenly came to disturb at this time, there must be something valuable to report.

"Yes, sir." The other party nodded slightly. "We have made some progress in our investigation of the questions you have told you before."

"What kind of progress?" Kong Ze's voice was still calm.

"In accordance with the ideas you have provided, we have studied in detail the paper used in the slanderous leaflets, and have roughly determined the origin of the paper - in the Val-d'Oise department." The subordinate replied in a low voice.

"Good, and then?" Kong Ze remained silent.

"But the Val-d'Oise department already has a lot of paper mills, and because it's so close to Paris, a lot of paper is being shipped from here to Paris every day...... This makes it difficult for us to investigate the next step......" The subordinate hesitated a little.

Kong Ze sighed secretly, it seems that his team still needs more tempering.

"Pierre, have you analyzed our opponent this time?"

"Yes, we analyzed." Although his affectionate salutation brought the two closer together, his subordinates still sat upright. "To be able to print and distribute such leaflets in large quantities in a very short period of time, there should be a lot of lurking in the shadows of the other side -- probably a well-formed and dangerous political organization."

"That's right." Kong Ze nodded approvingly.

It seems that he has been encouraged, and the tension of his subordinates has been reduced a lot.

"And they must have a lot of printing machines, so they were able to print out leaflets in large quantities in a short period of time and distribute them everywhere. Perhaps, they usually use publishing houses or newspapers as cover! ”

"Makes sense." Kong Ze nodded again. "So you see, we already have a lot of information."

"However, the information we have at present is not enough for us to find out those traitors...... "The subordinates still hesitated. There are so many newspapers in Paris alone, and there are also ...... in the provinces"

"Don't think about provinces!" Kong Ze suddenly raised his voice. "Only three or four days before the death of the Duke of Praslan, it was reported that such leaflets had been discovered. If you think about it, what does that mean? ”

"That means they're very well-informed." The subordinate replied.

"It's not just that the other person is well-informed. Think about it, if the printing organ of the rebel party is in another province, from passing the news to returning with leaflets, it is dozens of miles to go back and forth, is there any time? And risk being found on the road while entering the city......"

[The "li" here refers to the Fari, when the international metric unit did not yet exist (it was only established in France in 1875), and the French used ancient weights and measures. One fari is about 4 kilometers. 】

After listening to Kong Ze's words, his subordinates fell into deep thought, as if they were calculating something.

"You're right." At Zuihou, he agrees with his new boss. "In other words, this rebel party has a propaganda apparatus in the city of Paris, and a large number of propaganda machines......"

Speaking of this, there was a faint chill in his tone.

"You finally think that this is what the Prime Minister and His Excellency the Minister are most worried about." Kong Ze lowered his voice, "Do you know what these events mean in their eyes? ”

"What does that mean?" The subordinate immediately asked.

"The fact that leaflets and rumors are flying all over the place without warning only shows two things: first, the organization is deep dormant and has developed a powerful liliang with little notice, and second, the organization thinks that now that it is time for them to act, it is no longer too afraid to expose its strength...... Pierre, if you think about it, what do these two questions say when they come together? ”

The more his subordinates thought about it, the more they felt cold, and a little cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. That is to say...... Next ......"

"Well, definitely. It is likely that this action of the rebel group is just a rehearsal, and there will be more and bigger actions to follow, which will endanger the dynasty and the king's government more than handing out leaflets. Kong Ze's face sank like water, "A vicious enemy has surfaced, and it certainly won't be just for a breath of fresh air." ”

"That'...... So what should we do......" The subordinate felt that his throat was a little dry. Before he came in, he had never imagined that his latest mission would be of such great significance, and his breathing was a little disordered for a while. "This does seem dangerous......"

"However, there is no need to worry so much, since this rebel party group still chooses to hide underground like a mole, it means that they still have scruples, they are still afraid, and they are afraid that we still have all the resources." After scaring his subordinates, Kong Ze began to cheer up the other party again. "The task entrusted to me and by Your Excellency the Prime Minister and the Minister is to find out the rebel organization as soon as possible, before it causes more and bigger incidents with even worse impact, and then eliminate them all!"

"That'...... So what should we do? The subordinates' voices trembled a little with excitement.

Kong Ze raised his head and stared at the other party.

"First of all, you must absolutely obey my orders, because I have direct authorization from the Prime Minister and His Excellency the Minister."

A subordinate immediately stood up from his seat. "Yes!"

Kong Ze waved his hand and motioned for the other party to sit back. "Secondly, I will carry out a covert investigation of all the newspapers and publishing houses in Paris that use paper produced in the Val-d'Oise department, and even if I cannot directly find out the traitor this time, it will be haode to find out for future actions. Of course, this is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task, and you must strictly enforce it. ”

"Yes!" Answered again.

"Also, you have to take more people out into the streets, try to find and catch some people who are handing out leaflets and incitement propaganda on the streets, and then knock more things out of their mouths." Kong Ze's voice became more and more stern, "Remember, I'm going to go out on the street in secret, don't make others think you're a policeman at a glance." This seems very simple, but it is actually very difficult, I have carefully screened your abilities before selecting you, and I hope you will not disappoint me. ”

"Yes!" The subordinate straightened his waist and answered again.

"Good." Kong Ze nodded, "Then do you still have any questions now?" ”

"Not yet, sir." The subordinate bowed and prepared to leave.

"That's right, Pierre." When his subordinates were about to leave, Kong Ze suddenly asked again, "As far as your personal opinion is concerned, which side of the rebel party is against us this time?" Our Bixia is not short of enemies. ”

"Hmm...... This ......" subordinate was a little hesitant, not because he hadn't thought about this question before, but because he was worried that his answer would not be to the taste of his boss. "I don't know what you think? Is it republican or Bonapartiste? Or is it something else? ”

"Me? I think it's the Bonapartist faction. A rare smile appeared on Kong Ze's face. Personally, there is always a little bit of idealism on the part of the republicans, who regard the revolution as a cause in itself. Therefore they will often be reckless, and I am afraid that it will not be until a long time before they learn to be thoughtful, and their ability to blow up a duke is to blow up the sky; The Bonapartist faction, on the other hand, never had any fixed faith, or that their only belief was profit, so they were all the more terrible and dangerous, because they were able to build a new state......"

["Blowing up a duke" refers to Joseph Mortier, one of the most famous and brilliant political opportunists in French history.] During the Napoleonic era, he was made Field Marshal and Duke of Treviso for his military exploits, but after Napoleon's fall he quickly defected to the Bourbon dynasty, where he was highly respected by Louis XVIII, and in 1825 he was awarded the highest French Order of Merit by King Charles X. But during the Revolution of 1830 he quickly turned his back on the Bourbons and joined the new king, where he was also reused, and at the beginning of 1835 he became prime minister.

However, on 28 July 1835, when he accompanied King Louis-Philippe on a parade of the National Guard, he and 11 others were killed by a bomb dropped by the republicans who had come to assassinate him (the king himself was lucky to be unscathed). 】

"I think you have a lot of point." The subordinate saluted again.
