Chapter 632: Xiaguan

Gu Zhenlong's true intention was just in case. //.la

The weapons recovered from the two newspapers were enough to arm a company, but less than 70 armed elements were killed and captured.

If you can't find it in the city, you have to consider whether you are hiding outside the city, or you have fled Nanjing.

With such a big movement, even if there were people hiding outside the city, they would definitely escape, but even if they couldn't find anyone, they had to try to find out how these people came from and how they ran away.

The outer Guocheng is shaped like a diamond, the circumference of the city wall is 120 li, and the area is nearly 200 square kilometers.

The counter-espionage unit, the investigation section, plus the second and fifth regiments of the military police sect, are less than 5,000 people, and they are only surrounded but not searched, and a single soldier has to guard the 12-meter-long city wall.

"In this way, you go and inform Xu Zhidao and ask him to send all the soldiers to the city wall, and hand over the people within the city wall to us!" Fang is not for the confession.

"Okay, I'll call!" Zhao Shirui replied.

He and Zhao Shirui were out of the city from Rujiang Gate, which is the northwest corner of the inner city, and the guards at the gate were not only the military police, but also Lin Shuanglong's people who had to withdraw in the future and received martial law again.

The city gate was not sealed for the time being, but it only entered and could not be entered, and the inventory was several times stricter than in the past. All the goods were folded and inspected, and everyone who entered the city was stopped for questioning.

When Fang Buwei went out of the city, there was already a long queue outside the door.

Looking at the progress of the inventory, these teams may not be able to complete the investigation until dark.

"So many people?" Standing on the gatehouse, Zhao Shirui looked at the convoy that had been lined up to the riverside, and subconsciously shouted.

"There are more than 200,000 residents in the inner city, and just the grain and rice used to chew a day will cost 200,000 catties, not to mention others?" "The goods entering the city are all transported through the Yangtze River and the railway, and the largest wharf and freight station are all in Xiaguan, and the nearest one is the Rujiangmen ......."

"So much, when will it be checked?" Zhao Shirui smacked his tongue.

"Slow down, slow down!" Fang Buwei replied, "What's so tight about being hungry than dying!" ”

"No wonder the commander is only under martial law, not the city!" Zhao Shirui said again.

The reason why Gu Zhenlong did not lock down the city was not only to ensure the livelihood of the people in the city, but also because of political considerations.

Nanjing City is the capital, not that it can be sealed.

The city gates of one large, two small and three holes were tightly blocked, and the vehicles could not get out at all, so Fang Buwei could only order two personnel to walk out of the city.

Fortunately, the 2nd and 5th regiments of the Gendarmerie were stationed outside the inner city, otherwise they might not have been able to climb the city wall when it was dark.

Out of the city gate, looking at the black convoy outside the city, Fang Buwei's heart moved, and called Zhao Shirui.

"You take your people to the gates of each city and ask these merchants if they have seen any unusual people and movements in Waiguo City in the recent past ......"

Zhao Shirui understood as soon as he heard it.

Since it is a visit, it is naturally inseparable from inquiring about the merchants outside the city, and now that martial law is imposed, at least half of the merchants are blocked outside the city, which is the best time.

"Don't be too strong, give a little sweetness......" Fang Buwei reminded again.

Zhao Shirui nodded, indicating that he understood.

Isn't that simple?

As long as you promise to provide clues, you can enter the city in advance, and there are many people who are scrambling.

Zhao Shirui took away the investigation department, and Fang Buwei went to Xiaguan with the counter-espionage unit.

After the government of the Republic of China established the capital of Nanjing, the Nanjing Municipal Government made detailed plans. Originally, the north of Fugui Mountain, Xianglin Temple, Ming Imperial Palace, and the area of Wuchaomen were divided into commercial areas.

But government officials take it for granted.

First of all, they didn't think about whether the transportation was convenient.

The Ming Imperial Palace is in the east, Xiaguan Station, Zhongshan Wharf is in the west, the goods are moved to Nanjing, and then transported to the demarcated business district, to cross the entire Nanjing City, which is extremely inconvenient.

The government has mobilized for several years, but it has not seen any results, so until now, the administrative and residential areas are in the inner city, but the commercial area is still outside the city.

As soon as you get out of Rujiangmen, there are commercial houses all over the place, and there are many shops, and there are all kinds of businesses.

In addition to the wharf and freight, Shimonoseki is most famous for its restaurants and brothels.

The most famous is the sixteenth floor of Huayue Spring Breeze, where there is eating, drinking, playing and having fun, which can be called a must in Jinling.

In this era, ordinary people are generally resistant to the government, and they ask questions at a glance, but eighty percent of them cannot ask for useful information.

Fang Bu repeated the old trick, called several team leaders, and explained them one by one.

Half an hour later, the streets of Shimonoseki were plastered with official notices.

"Agents have infiltrated the city and are intending to assassinate them...... Those who provide clues will be given priority to enter the city during martial law......" A shopkeeper reads the contents of the notice.

There were many people around, and when they heard this, they immediately started talking.

The discussion is not about whether there are any spies sneaking into the city, but when the city gates will be released.

Fang Buwei arranged several team members under each notice, waiting for someone to provide clues.

But an hour passed, and there were many onlookers, but there were few whistleblowers.

All the inner city gates were under martial law, and they searched strictly, and the soldiers with long walls on their backs surrounded the walls, plus there was such a big movement in the city last night, no matter how late the merchants were, they also knew that something was wrong.

When I saw that there were many fresh faces on the street, they all became careful.

Fang Buwei took Ye Xingzhong and sat on the table in front of a restaurant, drinking tea leisurely.

There was a notice on the wall more than ten meters away from him, and the two team members sat under the notice.

"Sir, how many more days will this martial law take?" A man who looked like a boss shouted.

"Not necessarily!" The team member replied, "If the spy is caught, naturally there will be no need for martial law......

This is not a lie.

A bounty notice has been posted in Gu Cheng, which is a similar statement.

The voice of the discussion suddenly rose a few times, and the fresh vegetables that had just been harvested were afraid that they were going to rot in their hands, and the shops in the city would be out of stock today.

But there were people shouting, but no one came forward.

"Sir, is this going to work?" Ye Xingzhong asked on the side.

In the chaotic world, the people are afraid of officials, but they are even more afraid of bandits.

Maybe as soon as the front foot informs the informant, the back foot will be wiped out by the bandits.

"Don't worry, this will work more than the rewards of the ocean!" Fang is not a return.

It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, and it is best to let other people's goods be blocked outside the city, so that their own goods can be transported into the city first, and make a lot of money.

Dozens of notices were posted, and there were less than 100 team members who were sent to wait for informants under the notices, and the remaining 400 or so people were all let out of the party and went to secretly find out the platoon.

At a glance, the smart person understands that as long as he sits in his own shop, someone will naturally come to the door to ask, and it is not too late to talk about it when the time comes.

Ye Xingzhong's brain is not stupid, but he is just absent-minded.

Fang Buwei naturally knew what Ye Xingzhong was thinking.
