Chapter 52: Iron Fist

Li Zhongyi and Meng Renyi couldn't help but look at each other, but fortunately, after all, Meng Renyi had led the troops for many years, so he immediately regained his composure and shouted: "Shut up." It must have been a spy of the Zhou army who infiltrated the city. ”

"Someone is coming, ......" Meng Renyi passed down the military order, sent troops to put out the fire, and at the same time ordered the four gates to be closed and the whole city under martial law.

Li Zhongyi realized that during his days, he had paid too much attention to training troops to save his life, and he had actually neglected the work of counter-espionage.

I still have no experience in war, so I'm too careless!

In any case, the fire in the grain and grass warehouse will be investigated once it is investigated. Li Zhongyi, the titular "inspector of the school and the river pool", even if he is an empty acting commander of the garrison, has unshirkable joint and several responsibility.

Of course, the brunt of it was Meng Renyi, the commander of the rear army, and Li Zhongyi temporarily ranked second.

In other words, this pair of difficult brothers and sisters are both duty-bound.

"The whole city is searching for the Zhou army's spies." Meng Renyi gritted his teeth and ordered again and again.

Li Zhongyi looked at Meng Renyi's order, it was very undisciplined, and the whole city was searched? How to search? How to catch?

The most important thing is how to identify and arrest the spies of the Zhou army from among the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in the city?

"Meng Shuai, the matter of the whole city searching for spies will be handed over to the lower officials, right? The lower official asked Meng Shuai to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions. Li Zhongyi stood up and solemnly made a request to Meng Renyi.

Meng Renyi saw that Li Zhongyi's face was awe-inspiring, and even the title had changed to an extremely formal Meng Shuai and a subordinate official, obviously he had made up his mind.

More importantly, Meng Renyi knew in his heart that if he didn't dig out the Zhou army's spies in time, once the river pool was surrounded, who would be able to withstand the internal and external attacks?

Li Zhongyi took the initiative to stand up at this time, in addition to thinking about his own life, he also had the idea of solving problems for Meng Renyi.

In this era, who can understand counter-espionage warfare better than Li Zhongyi?

Meng and Li are now grasshoppers on the same line, and this pair of difficult brothers and sisters has a relationship of both glory and loss.

"Okay, I'll divide half of your tooth soldiers, and command the following to kill and kill, you can do it yourself." Meng Renyi was also pressed, and handed over the most trusted guards to Li Zhongyi.

No matter what, Shu is also the country of his Meng family, and the rabbit is red-eyed and biting!

Li Zhongyi took Meng Renyi's 1,000 tooth soldiers and returned to the township soldier camp in a mighty way.

On the way, Li Zhongyi had already thought it out very clearly. There are dozens of granaries in Hechi City, and one of the granaries is on fire. If the fire was small, it should have been extinguished.

When the matter came to an end, it was useless to be anxious, Li Zhongyi first summoned the generals of the township soldiers and the generals of the tooth soldiers to the council hall.

Counter-espionage work is a very meticulous work, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the loss of all the achievements made.

As far as the united township soldiers are concerned, Li Zhongyi commanded like an arm, and he had nothing to say.

Meng Danqing, the deputy commander of the Ya Nei, who led the tooth soldiers, became the focus of Li Zhongyi's attention.

Li Zhongyi focused his attention on Meng Danqing's body, and said gently: "Danqing, do you know Meng Shuai's military orders?" ”

Meng Danqing was originally surnamed Zhang, but because he had followed Meng Renyi for many years, he was given the surname Meng. He was able to go from being a "scholar" to being the deputy commander of the tooth soldiers, and without Meng Renyi's high trust, it was simply unimaginable.

"If you go back to Gong Li, the last general and his subordinates will be completely at your disposal." Meng Danqing had long known about the special relationship between Li Zhongyi and Meng Renyi, so he did not hesitate to show his obedience.

"Okay, I now order you to lead the officers and soldiers of the station to block the entire temple street along the north-south direction, and no one is allowed to pass through Guò." Li Zhongyi strengthened his tone and said, "Those who dare to trespass, no matter who it is, will be killed." ”

Li Zhongyi's murderous order, Meng Danqing heard it very clearly, and thought very clearly, the so-called whoever it is, refers to the generals and colonels of the rear army.

"Gong Li, don't worry. In the defense area of the last general, don't even think of flying a fly. Meng Danqing played the package ticket with confidence.

In fact, Meng Danqing is indeed confident. As Meng Renyi's confidant, even if he was a few of Jin Wuwei's leading generals on the scene, he would never dare to mess around.

"Well, that's good." Li Zhongyi picked up the pen, wrote a few large pieces of paper, and then handed them to Meng Danqing's hand and advised, "The password is wrong, grab it on the spot." Those who dare to resist will be killed. ”

Meng Danqing was able to follow Meng Renyi as a scholar, he was not only literate, but even wrote poems and lyrics.

After taking a few pieces of paper, Meng Danqing looked at it attentively, and the first line was actually the password: Heavenly King Gaidi Tiger, reply order: Pagoda Town River Demon, Li Zhongyi deliberately added a note, this is used in Shenshi.

"Password: Pheasant stuffy drilling, reply order: How can you go to Tianwang Mountain."

"Password: There is rice on the ground, and the reply order: Hey, there is a foundation."

“……”

There are twelve hours in a day, and the password for each hour is different, and there is no repetition.

Meng Danqing read all the way, not to mention a word, he didn't even understand half of the sentence, but this did not affect his orders to his subordinate officers.

"You come to me every day to get the next day's password, understand?" Li Zhongyi held back a smile and carefully advised Meng Danqing.

In his last life, Li Zhongyi liked the modern Peking Opera "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" very much, and the classic black dialogue between Yang Zirong and the mountain carving in the play is still fresh in his memory.

After beating Meng Danqing away, Li Zhongyi's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while." On the occasion of employing people, who dares to neglect their duties and let go of Zhou Jun's meticulous work, don't blame me Li for not being emotional. ”

"Whoa." Guo Huai and the others knew that this matter was not trivial, and they really had to lose their heads.

Sharpen the knife and cut firewood!

Meng Danqing has already led people to start from the middle line of Temple Street and divide the entire Hechi County into two.

Then, if there are still Zhou Jun's spies in the city, they are already turtles in the urn, so it depends on how to find a way to dig them out, and follow the vines to find melons and catch them all.

Li Zhongyi didn't regard himself as a god, and still followed the old method and brainstormed.

The heads of each capital first convened the soldiers of the capital to discuss and solicit everyone's opinions. Then, layer by layer was summarized to Li Zhongyi's desk.

Li Zhongyi had something to say in advance, no matter how ridiculous his opinion was, it must be recorded.

As the old saying goes, the stone of the mountain can be used to attack jade!

After the various opinions were reported, Li Zhongyi arranged for the scribes to summarize and merge the same or similar opinions into one.

By the time Li Zhongyi got into his hands, these opinions had become brief abridgements, and the main content could be clearly seen in just one line.

In this way, Li Zhongyi also saved a lot of things.

Not to mention, the wisdom of the masses is infinite, it depends on whether you dig it and pay attention to it.

Some soldiers pointed out that most of the Zhou army were northerners, and their accents were very different from the local dialect of Hechi.

Some people also proposed in more detail that the United Township Soldiers were originally villagers from all over the vicinity of Hechi, and they could gather people with different accents together to easily and quickly identify the spies of the Zhou Army.

What surprised Li Zhongyi the most was that a fire chief actually put forward a very constructive suggestion: All the household officials in charge of household registration in Hechi County should be taken under centralized care, and all the household registration books should be sealed. Then, according to the territory of the household registration, each official is responsible for a specific area in the city, and cooperates with the neighborhood to count the details of the people in the jurisdiction one by one.

The following opinions, after Li Zhongyi's processing, have become a series of anti-detailed operation regulations.

In the middle of the night, Li Zhongyi personally went out and led his troops to surround the streets and alleys in the east of the city.

Countless lanterns and torches illuminate the streets, as bright as day.

Groups of villagers were united in thick armor, holding shields and steel knives at their waists, or holding spears tightly, staring at the gates of each house.

On the second floor of a temporarily requisitioned tea shop, Li Zhongyi sat casually by the window, and on the tea table in front of him, there was a pot of freshly brewed Emei snow buds, as well as a few plates of snacks and melon seeds.

The stairs sounded, Huang Jingsheng hurriedly went upstairs, walked to Li Zhongyi's side, and whispered, "Childe, the crossbowmen have already gone to the roof." ”

"Well, let's get started." Li Zhongyi retracted his gaze, picked up the tea cup, tasted tea carefully, and ate snacks.

With an order, the infantry of the united village soldiers, in groups of two, began to knock on the doors of the households.

For a time, the sky above the entire Dongcheng was filled with the screams of women, the crying of children, the barking of frightened dogs, and the shouting and scolding of village soldiers.

Li Zhongyi put down the teacup and leisurely began to knock melon seeds, this is just the beginning.

Tonight's Hechi county is destined to have an unforgettable sleepless night.

"Hurry up, hurry up...... The heavily armed united village soldiers, working in pairs and cooperating with each other, drove all the residents of this street out of their homes and were divided and surrounded on the street.

The servants of the yamen shouted loudly while beating the gong, "Everyone in the house should come out, let the officers and soldiers find out, and they will all be killed." ”

No way, when Li Zhongyi was a child, he watched too many old war movies, and he always remembered the plot of how the devil soldiers caught the Communist Party.

The ghost soldiers in "Tunnel War" first surrounded the village, and then drove all the villagers, regardless of men, women, and children, to the threshing floor in the village, and finally searched house by house.

At the end of the street, the official of the county government household Cao, spread out the household registration account book on the table, lifted the brush, soaked it with thick ink, licked the tip of the fine pen on the inkstone, and looked up at Fang Zheng who was standing on the side.

Wang Dahu sat beside the official, and the steel knife at his waist was unsheathed and stuck in the mud in front of him.

"Zhang Laosan, bring your whole family here." Fang Zheng beckoned in a trembling voice and called Zhang Laosan's family, who was ranked first, to the table.

Fang Zheng has been in Hechi for many years, and this is the first time he has seen such a big and terrifying array.

"Name?" The clerk asked about the authentic river pool.

"Villain...... Villain...... Zhang Laosan. Zhang Laosan was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and his whole body trembled.

"Where is the ancestral home? Where did you move from? The clerk heard that Zhang Laosan was not a native, so after making a mark, he asked questions in turn according to the outline of the questions copied by Li Zhongyi.

"My hometown Heyang, Da Shui, I asked for food all the way, and I arrived at Hechi......" Zhang Laosan's answer was not detailed, and what should be said should not be said, all of them have been said.

"What are the names of parents...... Oh, dead, where are you buried? Can there be a monument? Who was involved in the funeral? The more the clerk asked, the deeper he went, and Zhang Laosan's whole body was already drenched in cold sweat.

"How many people are in the family? Where do relatives live, what are their names, and what do they do for a living? The officer continued.

After the qiē was recorded, seeing that Zhang Laosan was about to pass the test, Wang Dahu coldly grabbed Zhang Laosan's young eldest son and pinched it heavily on his tender hand.

"Wow......" The child cried in pain, Zhang Laosan was very distressed, but he could only watch with his eyes open.
