Section 119: Lai Da was captured

The raid on the construction site was carried out jointly by a platoon of Li Yayang's garrison company and the Dongmen City Police Team. Under the command of Li Yayang, the soldiers quietly pulled up a cordon from both ends, cut off traffic, and blocked the entire construction site.

As the migrant workers were working, sharp sirens sounded at both ends of the highway at the same time, and many rifles with bayonets were shaking. Then, infantry in gray uniforms and police officers in black uniforms squeezed from both ends to the middle at the same time.

"Squat, squat", "You put the shovel on the ground", "Get out of the way"

Several policemen shouted with loudspeakers. The infantrymen's shiny bayonets added to the persuasiveness of the police. The migrant workers who were at a loss for what to do hurriedly squatted on the ground one by one. The entire construction site was suddenly silent.

Commanded by a political security instructor and wearing a black police uniform and a blue "political security" armband, the security personnel began to check the ID cards of each person on the construction site one by one.

The supervisor in charge of the construction of this section on the site is a veteran named Zhang Liping, who was originally driving a crane - they are now using a self-produced steam engine crane. The volume is huge, not to mention the difficulty of moving, because there is no electromechanical control equipment, a little carelessness will become "to kill", hastily trained indigenous crane drivers on the construction site continue to smash materials and stone people, Zhang Liping had to go into battle in person, while working and training.

He was stunned when he heard the whistle, and after a few minutes he realized that he was surrounded by a group of "black crows".

"What's the matter?"

"Surprise checks. The instructor led by the "chief" saluted, "Please show your ID"

"Okay." Zhang Liping took out his ID card from his pocket, and the instructor looked at it carefully for a long time before returning it to him, "Xiexie, we want to check all the personnel on the construction site, please cooperate." ”

Zhang Liping took out the roster of the bidding section, and the political security personnel in charge of the inspection checked them one by one.

The laborers and clerks working on the lot are over once their identities are verified. Indigenous personnel who do not work in this section, but who come to the site for various reasons, can be counted as long as they are clear about what they are doing - just register.

As for the others, they were not so polite, they were interrogated one by one, those with documents were better, and those without documents were harshly interrogated, and a few timid ones were so frightened that they almost peed their pants.

Persons without documents are held pending further identity verification.

While he was busy with the inventory, a political security officer who was registering suddenly noticed that a person was taking advantage of everyone's busyness, slowly descending from behind the mound to the dry river, and the dense reeds growing at the bottom of the dry river had slipped out for a long distance. If it weren't for a small open space during the period that exposed him, I'm afraid he would have run out.

"There's someone at the bottom of the river," he shouted.

Before the police could start blowing their whistles, a crisp shot rang out from the shore - the soldiers of the garrison company opened fire.

"Don't shoot" The instructor who led the team quickly shouted, and he waved his hand, "Hurry, catch it alive"

More than a dozen soldiers, policemen, and security personnel let out a howl and pounced on them.

A few minutes later, the guy who was trying to escape had been brought in. Zhang Liping was secretly surprised - is there really a spy on his bid?

Those who tried to escape were dressed in short-sleeved locally grown indigo cotton uniforms, with trouser legs rolled up, mud on their calves and arms, and a tattered straw hat on their heads.

This appearance is no different from that of laborers working on a construction site.

Search of his body: some small negotiable coupons, a few copper coins. Nothing else, and certainly no papers. People on the construction site also said they hadn't seen him

"What's it called?" The instructor asked.

"The little one is called Chen Da." The person who was caught looked nervous and kept licking his lips.

"Weishenme wants to run?"

“……”

"What team of workers are you, weishenme has no documents?"

"The small ones are casual earth-moving workers...... Documents, dropped ......"

The words are vague, and the deeds are very suspicious. The instructor immediately called for someone to take him back for interrogation.

The person who was caught was Lai Da.

Lai Dazhi ordered him to come back to Lingao and prepare to contact the Huang family. He knew that Lingao was extremely tightly guarded, and he didn't dare to take the big road, only the small road.

Lai Da thought about it again and again, he mainly lived in the gentry, and the gentry generally lived in Sixiang, as long as he did not go to Dongmen City, the county seat, and Bopu, which were prosperous places, there would be no danger.

When he accompanied Gou Chengxuan to escape, he made an appointment with his brother Lai Xiao, and asked Lai Xiao to wait for an hour in a ruined temple outside the city on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.

Lai Xiao, who had been waiting for a long time, finally waited for his brother, and brought the news that the official army was about to enter the suppression, and he was overjoyed. But when it came to wooing the local gentry, Lai Xiao tried his best to oppose it.

"I can only promise this thing in vain, and I must not really do it," Lai Xiao whispered to his brother.

Lai Xiao's caution is reasonable, because he is a miscellaneous errand in the county school, it is very convenient to move around in Lingao, and he knows a lot of things. He told Lai Da that the thieves were already fully mobilized and preparing for war, and that many men and horses had been added.

"The thieves are watching the gentry very closely, and there are spies everywhere, and there are many people on the road," Lai Novel, "Around the county school, there are many people active these days, and if you want to see Huang Yukun, I am afraid it will not work." ”

"What about Huangjiazhai?"

"Most of them are guarded in the shadows." Lai Xiao hadn't been to Huangjiazhai recently, but he had run errands for the children of other big families -- there were some strange people at the door of almost every big family in the county.

"The thieves are staring at the big ones very closely, and the big ones are now at most daring to go to both ends of the rat, and they will never dare to rise up to respond to the army. Big brother, you have to contact them, even if they don't betray you on the spot, you will be caught by the thieves' spies as soon as you go out. Lai Xiao persuaded hard.

Lai Da pondered for a moment: "Can you ask one of the people of the Huang family to come out and talk to a secret place?" Is the Huang family so convinced? The revenge of killing the son and killing the brother......"

"It's up to the younger brother to figure out how to do this." Lai Xiao felt that if he didn't do anything, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the young master. Whether the Gou family can regroup, and whether they can resume the good life of walking sideways in Lingao, depends on whether they can make meritorious contributions to the young master this time

"Be sure to contact the big guys," Lai Da said fiercely, "This time I have to give the thief a little bit of power."

Of course, there is a deep reason why Lai Da hates Australians so much: Chu Qing.

Chu Qing, the maid, Gou Er had already promised her to himself.

Lingao in the Ming Dynasty was a society with a serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women, and it was very difficult for young men to marry wives, let alone young and good-looking maids like Chu Qing. It stands to reason that most of these maids will be tired of being played with by their masters, and they will only be rewarded to their servants - and this is already a great grace, and many people simply cannot afford to marry wives.

And Chu Qing is a complete thing that the old man has never moved. This alone is enough to make Lai Da so grateful that he burst into tears and swore to die. However, before he had time to enjoy the first joy of life in the night of candles in the cave room, the Gou family was destroyed.

Then came the escape, the hiding, the wandering. The two brothers went from worrying about food and clothing to living by odd jobs and begging. From time to time, he will be beaten by the county citizens who have been bullied by the Gou family in the past**. From the original arrogant wealthy slave to the * mourning dog that everyone shouted and beaten, and then I heard that Chu Qing was robbed by an Australian to be a little wife.

The Lai brothers followed Gou Chengxuan faithfully when the Gou family was the most depressed and hopeless, and the strong personal enmity played a great role. It is precisely because of such unforgettable hatred that the little brother Lai Dalai can persevere in the face of the greatest adversity.

Lai Xiao brought Lai Da an old labor uniform, wearing which he could easily enter and exit Bairen City, Bopu and other places. It is also not easy to be questioned on the road.

"Big brother, you don't have an ID card, don't go to these places easily. Recently, the thieves have been very closely investigated. ”

"Got it." Lai Da said, "I still go to work on the Wenlan River construction site. ”

There are a lot of workers on the Wenlan River construction site, and there are a lot of casual workers on the earthwork, who are paid every day with a signature, come and go very casually, according to modern terms, the population is very mobile, and no one will generally check the documents of laborers, which is an easy place to survive.

Lai Da came back with money, but he didn't dare to stay in a local hotel or inn. The Police Headquarters has set up a passenger registration and reporting system in all commercial establishments where people can stay overnight, such as inns, shops, hotels, bathhouses, etc. Every day after 8 p.m., the police check the tourist register of each accommodation shop and check for suspicious persons.

For the sake of safety, Lai Da did not dare to live in such a place by throwing himself into the net, so he simply set up a shed and slept in the woods far away from the main road outside the county - fortunately, the weather here is hot, and he will definitely not freeze to death, as long as he can shelter from the rain.

Even so, the rain at the beginning of summer still made him suffer enough.

Lai Xiaoben walked for a few days, and finally managed to get in touch with a personal servant of the Huang family, but the other party was always vague and refused to give a clear answer whether he could recommend Lai Da to meet the master of the Huang family, even if it cost money.

Lai Xiao was very anxious, thinking that the Huang family might not want to do it, and maybe they would betray them, so he suggested that Lai Da hide immediately, or simply flee to Qiongshan with the brothers.

Lai Da comforted him and said: "The Huang family is just unwilling to see us now because the situation is unclear. As soon as the officer, soldier and horse arrived, we didn't go to him, he would come back to us. ”

"In this way, wouldn't it be impossible to mobilize local people to meet the officers and troops." Lai Xiao said anxiously.

"The thieves are so powerful, the officials and soldiers are not in Lingao, where do the gentry dare to act." Lai Da said with confidence.
