Niu Erdong still returned to his residence early from work this evening, settled his wife, prepared the ingredients for dinner, and fed his son medicine, and then left the workshop to go to the market to "buy vegetables".

He walked through the streets, which were still deserted by this time, and in a few moments reached the entrance of the evening market.

The laborers of the Wenjia Workshop noticed that the old tree next to the gate had a strip of red cloth tied to the third branch from the bottom up. The strip of cloth was dirty and a little faded, and the unintentional person might think that it was temporarily hung on the street by some big family's wedding fashion spot, and then forgot to take it off.

However, Niu Erdong knew very well that the strip of cloth tied there was a person in the market who was preparing to connect and told him: the surroundings are safe and can be jointed.

He looked around and made sure there was nothing out of the ordinary, and then he walked into the market with confidence.

The Huzi couple who connected with him were also quite vigilant. Every time they connect, they will talk to Niu Erdong in advance about the location of the next stall, the color of the guise and the way of placing the drugs sold, and at the same time, these "codes" are not fixed every time, and there is no regularity at all, and they will definitely not let anyone with a heart see the flaws.

The husband of the Huzi couple is surnamed Qin, and his single name is "Hu", and his family was originally a homesteader outside Yangguan Town, and his industry is only a few acres of thin fields, and he is almost 30 years old and has not yet married a wife. Until a few days ago, some "nobles" came to their door, saying that they wanted their family's herb stall in the evening market to cooperate with some of their actions, "make it convenient for them", and the reward was ten gold per month. Qin Hu, who had never seen what gold looked like since he was born, agreed without thinking, and from then on he was specially responsible for picking medicines from the mountains in addition to plowing the land, and then coming to the evening market to sell them, taking into account the reception of this man of the same age as him, similar in occupation, taciturn and a little wooden.

Ten gold per month is obviously nothing for a gentleman like Young Master Lan, but for a family like Qin Hu and Niu Erdong, it is no less than a huge amount of money. Therefore, with this accumulation, Huzi also got a good-looking, virtuous and capable daughter-in-law--- most importantly, the Qin family has a queen: Huzi's wife has been pregnant for more than three months at this time, and her lower abdomen has already bulged slightly.

For these reasons, when those mysterious people approached Huzi and asked him if he would like to continue, he happily agreed.

As a result, the two of them met secretly from time to time very regularly, passing on some "pieces of paper" brought by Niu Erdong. Although Qin Hu is a farmer, he is not a fool--- he never asks more, nor does he rashly open those sealed "pieces of paper", because he knows that there are some things, knowing too much is not a good thing.

Today, the Huzi couple's stall is covered with straw mats and red banners, and the stall location should be at the corner of the three long streets in the market.

The wife is still recuperating at home, so only Huzi's husband is here to sell medicine today.

The fine work that was bought by the Hong family slowly stepped forward and said the incision that had been agreed on a long time ago:

"Don't come unharmed! The weather has been fine these days, and the harvest of medicine is about good, right? ”

"That's that! Thanks to the blessings of the saints today, I can collect two baskets of good medicine every day! ”

These cuts are not fixed, but are regularly reversed, cycled according to the date, and not a word can be said wrong when jointing. If one party makes even half a mistake in the word, the other side will immediately send him away or evacuate urgently.

Niu Erdong secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time. The code has been matched with unmistakable accuracy.

"What's new?" The laborer squatted down, pretending to bow his head to select medicinal herbs, while whispering to the stall owner in a suppressed voice. When his hands were pulling around the pile of medicinal herbs without a trace, he had already handed over an extremely thin roll of paper to Qin Hu.

"Nope. The nobles said to keep you watching. Qin Hu also looked very careful, looking around nervously from time to time, "Jiangnan may encounter some trouble, it is quite troublesome to deal with, and there may be no time to take care of Jiangbei's news network for a while." Therefore, the meaning of the nobles is: you had better lie dormant and do not need to pass on information to the outside world according to the appointed day, and if there is any particularly urgent news, go to the water wharf in the south of the city, where the news is packed and placed in the sixth drainage hole from the east side, and someone will come to pick it up when the time comes. “

"Understood. Anything else? In order to make this joint more normal to others, Niu Erdong lowered his voice and said this, and deliberately raised his voice, "The quality of the ox knee on your stall is too poor, don't buy it, don't buy it!" ”

"Love to buy or not! Think the color is too bad? Open your eyes and see, how many of the drugs sold in the market are of my quality?! Qin Hu understood and was quite cooperative with this.

After saying this, the owner of the pharmacy immediately whispered the next sentence: "If there is nothing else, you can go back first!" “

As he spoke, he flipped over the sign that read "Today's Medicine" on the trolley that was originally hanging on the cart, revealing the words "closed" on the other side.

Seeing this scene, Niu Erdong knew that Qin Hu was reminding him to leave quickly, so he pressed the brim of his hat on his head and wanted to turn around and leave.

But he didn't expect that Qin Hu's action of "flipping the brand" was not just for him alone, and the meaning was not only "leave quickly".

The Baitiao Guild Gang and several capable members of the Wenjia Workshop Guarding Team, who had been lying in ambush around the stalls for a long time, saw that the informant had already sent a signal that "it can be arrested", and they rushed towards Niu Erdong from four different directions like a hungry tiger pounced. Before he could react, four or five strong men had already pressed him to the ground, making him unable to move; Two more people came next to him, holding a rope in their hands, seizing the opportunity to get busy and trying to tie Niu Erdong into zongzi.

But how can a laborer who is engaged in heavy physical labor all day long be so easily subdued? Not to mention that he's still a spy!

The undercover agent, who realizes that his identity has been revealed, begins to struggle to the death. He first grabbed the placket of his clothes, ate a pill that was hidden there in advance, and then gained tremendous strength in a short period of time as if he had taken a stimulant! I saw that he was desperately kicking his hands and feet, and his torso was constantly fluctuating like a carp, and the guards in charge of the capture and the White Stripe Guild felt as if they were holding down a bison! After a while, four or five strong men were physically exhausted, and they were thrown down by Niu Erdong one by one and knocked to the ground!

The strength of this undercover agent's physical strength and the bizarre nature of the hole cards he reserved were indeed beyond the expectations of the traversers, but the emergency plan that Lan Wang had added to the plan played a role at this moment. Hundreds of soldiers on the border of Yangguan Town, wearing helmets and holding spears, turned out from the corners of the streets on both sides and quickly blocked the east and west exits of the evening market; Immediately afterwards, more than 20 heavy armored cavalrymen with spears and lances entered the field at a gallop, and without much effort, they surrounded Niu Erdong, who had just stood up and wanted to escape, and the sharp spear tips shone in the cold light of the rising crescent moon, all pointing at his chest.

Niu Erdong relied on the instantaneous brute force obtained through drug stimulation to try to continue to resist, but the sudden scene in front of him made him feel like he had been struck by lightning---

I saw the shopkeeper of Wenda in Wenjia Workshop coming over unhurriedly with a team of family members. And the one who walked at the front of the team and was held behind with a knife by a child who was a little familiar to Niu Erdong was Niu Erdong's wife and children.

Although the drugs stimulated his limbs, they did not make him lose his mind.

After froze there like a statue for a few seconds, he hung his hands weakly, threw away the stick he had just picked up as a weapon, and then fell to his knees with a "plop".

"Don't hurt them! I give up! I surrender ......"

The guards and the gang stepped forward again, first striking him twice with sticks, knocking him all over the ground, and then tying him up with ropes.

In the cry of Niu Erdong's son, Niu Erdong opened his blood-red eyes and glared at Qin Hu who was already hiding far away at this time:

"Why...... “

Qin Hu's expression was very strange, not guilt to be precise, but the kind of embarrassment after his privacy was discovered:

"Brother Niu, I'm really sorry! Who doesn't do our business for a bite to eat? To whom to do it or not? “

"Boss Wen, they give more money, so ......"

Qin Hu, a renegade spy who had betrayed his colleagues, was really embarrassed to continue to explain, and his voice was lowered until it was inaudible.
