Xiao Yingwu couldn't help but smile when he saw Lin Yuan's frowns: "We won a big victory, why are you unhappy?" ”

Lin Yuan didn't say the question in his heart, but smiled and said, "It's nothing, let's go to their camp and have a look." ”

Lin Yuan and Xiao Yingwu left the headquarters and crossed the river, only to see many soldiers in military uniforms sitting in the open space, and a few soldiers with guns guarding on the side, Lin Yuan asked, "How is the situation?" ”

One soldier said: "Most of the Qing army has surrendered, and some have fled far away, and we do not have enough troops to pursue them." ”

Lin Yuan then walked to the camp of the Qing army, only to see that the camp was full of people, most of them were people who did not wear military uniforms, Lin Yuan found the officer and asked: "These people who are not wearing military uniforms are the ones found by the Qing court, right?" ”

The officer nodded, and Lin Yuan then asked, "Where did these people come from?" ”

The officer said, "All of them were brought from several nearby villages. ”

Lin Yuan frowned and asked, "How many villages are there?" ”

The officer said, "We haven't investigated this yet. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Go and investigate this matter immediately." ”

The officer agreed, turned around and left, Xiao Yingwu said on the side: "What are we going to do to investigate these things?" Just let them go, it's useless to keep them. ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It will definitely be useful to investigate these things clearly, Old Xiao, just wait and see." ”

Lin Yuan called another officer and said: "Let people divide these people from village to village, quickly, try to finish this matter before tomorrow morning, and then find out the head of each village, the head of the armor, and the baozheng." ”

The officer asked, "Lin Shuai, what is the head of the card or something?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The Qing court is different from us, under the rule of the Qing court, the ten families are divided into one 'brand', the leader of this 'brand' is called 'brand head', ten 'cards' are a 'A', and the leader is called 'A Chang'; ten 'A' is a 'Bao', and the leader is called 'Baozheng', all of whom are grassroots officials of the people. ”

The officer agreed, Xiao Yingwu said to Lin Yuan: "Do you consider letting the newly formed 14th Division do it, they are all local people in Zhili, and they also understand the same language, and these people are all new soldiers, and the enthusiasm of the recruits to do things is definitely higher than that of the veterans, if the veterans of the 7th Division are allowed to do these things, they must have emotions." ”

Lin Yuan thought that Xiao Yingwu was right, veterans have arrogance, and felt that such a trivial thing should not be done by themselves, so it would be good to let the recruits do these things, so Lin Yuan said to Xiao Yingwu: "Okay, you can do this thing." ”

When it was the next morning, Xiao Yingwu came to Lin Yuan and said, "It's been done." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Send a unit and set up machine guns in the open space outside the barracks!" ”

Xiao Yingwu said suspiciously: "Set up the machine gun? You're not going to kill them all, are you? ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Am I that cruel?" Soon everything was ready, Lin Yuan came to the clearing and said to the officer on the side: "Have you asked you to find out the names of the villages you investigated?" ”

An officer handed Lin Yuan a document and said, "It's all clear, there are a total of ten counties and more than 200 villages involved. ”

Lin Yuan pointed to the first village and said, "Call me the people from this Wangjia Village first." A group of men and women came out of the barracks, and when they saw the machine gun behind Lin Yuan, they were all frightened, Lin Yuan stood in front of everyone and said loudly: "Don't be afraid, as long as you tell the truth, I won't hurt you, and I will give you something to eat, let you go home, who among you is Baozheng?" ”

An old man stood up and said, "I am." ”

Lin Yuan asked Baozheng: "Are these people from your village?" ”

Bao hesitated for a moment and said, "It's all from our village." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Is there any?" ”

Bao Zheng shook a moment and said, "No." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Okay, I'll ask everyone." So Lin Yuan said loudly to everyone: "Is there any of you who is not from your village, and whoever exposes him, I will reward 20 yuan." ”

Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Fifty yuan!" At this time, a young man's shoulders moved, as if he wanted to raise his hand, but was pulled by a woman behind him, the young man lowered his head again, Lin Yuan pointed at the young man with his hand, and said, "You! It's you! Come out, I have something to ask you! ”

The young man was a little scared and didn't dare to come out, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Come out, don't be afraid!" Lin Yuan called the young man twice before he came out, and Lin Yuan said: "Hurry up, who is not from your village, I can see that you know the way." ”

The young man pointed his hand behind him and said, "That person is not from our village!" ”

At this time, I saw a strong man in the crowd rushing out, and he was about to run outside the encirclement of Lin Yuan's troops, several soldiers stopped him with punches and kicks, and the strong man was knocked to the ground, at this time, the Baozheng suddenly knelt on the ground and said to Lin Yuan: "Lin Shuai spare your life, we didn't mean to deceive you!" ”

Lin Yuan helped the old man up with a smile and said, "Old man, I think you are an honest and honest person, you tell me, why do you want to help him hide it from me?" ”

The old man said: "That man was not originally from our village, but today he suddenly came in, and he had to make us say that he was from our village, and that his brother was so capable, and if we didn't agree, we would suffer, and we had no choice, so we hid it for him." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "So that's the case, old man, you don't have to be afraid, do you know who that guy is?" ”

Bao Zheng shook his head again and again, and Lin Yuan turned around and ordered: "Push that guy up!" Several warriors pushed the strong man closer and pressed him to the ground, Lin Yuan said: "If you are a man, tell your true identity!" ”

The strong man roared: "I am a loyal minister of the Holy Lord, Lei Zhongwu, the commander of the Green Camp of Hejian Mansion, Lei Zi Battalion!" Although I am a martial artist, I want to swear to kill Lin Rebellious! ”

Lin Yuan said to the villagers: "See? This is not a good man, but a remnant of the Qing court, who wants to mix in you and return to the village, lurk on the spot, and then wait for the opportunity to destroy, folks, we are the army that allows you to live a good life, I believe that you also know what we did in Baoding Mansion, we have distributed the landlord's land to everyone, and also distributed seeds and farm tools to everyone, will the Qing court do this? ”

The people nodded their heads in praise, and Lin Yuan continued: "Now please continue to expose it, I know that he can't be the only spy in the Dao!" ”

After Lin Yuan finished saying this, two men knelt on the ground and said, "Lin Shuai spare his life, we are also from the Qing court, please spare us." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Okay, let's bet first!" Then he said to the people: "Go to the border and get your bread and go home." The people left with great gratitude, and Xiao Yingwu said: "It turns out that you investigated the village to catch the spies!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Of course, I felt that this matter was too smooth, and something must be wrong, and then I thought that the Qing court might be lurking among the people, so I thought about finding them out!" ”
