"Good, don't cry, who have been in the house recently?" Wang Dahu deliberately kept a straight face to scare the children.

The child was too young to be scared at all, so as a result, he poured beans into the bamboo tube and cried about the recent family incidents.

When he heard that two strange men came to the house last night, Wang Dahu sneered: "Zhang Laosan, are you pretending to be like that?" Take. ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, the third child wanted to flee with his legs, but as a result, on the roof, the crossbow strings sounded softly, and a sharp arrow pierced his right leg with lightning speed.

Zhang Laosan fell down in response, and two groups of united township soldiers rushed up, pressed him to the ground, tied him with flowers, and stuffed a hard walnut (walnut) in his mouth.

Soon, Zhang Laosan's family of five was brought to Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Zhang Laosan's rather beautiful lady, and already had an idea in his heart.

"Zhang Laosan, this official is a cheerful person, and he doesn't have time to go around in circles with you. Let's put it bluntly, you have recruited everything, not only will you have a reward, but the official can also take you to Chengdu to settle down. Li Zhongyi paused deliberately and gave Zhang Laosan time to digest, "If you don't want to confess, it's easy to ......."

"Brothers, the little lady of Zhang's third family, isn't she handsome?" Li Zhongyi deliberately raised his voice and asked the guards around him loudly.

Huang Jingsheng is so old and spicy, he immediately pretended to be excited, raised his arms and cheered: "Thin skin and tender meat, small waist and thin limbs, hehe, the chest is quite big......"

"Hey, hey, haha, handsome......" A group of old men let out a cry of evil waves in unison.

"Well, this official gives you some time to think about it. Look, there are three melon seeds here," Li Zhongyi sighed, "If you haven't thought about it yet, after the official knocked the three melon seeds...... Alas, Lao Huang, tell me, what should I do? ”

"Back to Li Gong's words, the three little sins of the Zhang family were all buried alive, and his wife directly rewarded the brothers, and then sold them to the kiln, let thousands of people ride, and ten thousand people crossed." Huang Jingsheng glared at Zhang Laosan viciously, the handsome little lady who was already scared.

Li Zhongyi just knocked the first melon seed, and before he swallowed the melon kernel in his stomach, Zhang Laosan began to struggle violently, and his mouth whined.

Huang Jingsheng took Li Zhongyi's hint, and took the initiative to step forward and take out the hard walnuts stuffed in Zhang Laosan's mouth.

“…… The villain is willing to recruit, and the villain is willing to recruit...... The villain can recruit everything...... Spare the villain......" Zhang Laosan completely collapsed.

Not to mention the big punishment, without even touching his fingers, Li Zhongyi easily surrendered to Zhang Laosan.

Huang Jingsheng and the others were very impressed, and looked at their own chief with adoring eyes.

Li Zhongyi signaled to take Zhang Laosan down for careful interrogation, this kind of professional work is the best choice to hand over to Huang Jingsheng, who has been a cell boss and has handled many black-hearted cases.

It's a pity that after Huang Jingsheng's interrogation, he learned that Zhang Laosan and Zhou Jun had nothing to do with each other, but they were just eyeliners left by a group of smugglers in the county.

"Lock it up first, and wait for it to fall." Li Zhongyi gave the order with some disappointment.

Huang Jingsheng approached Li Zhongyi and whispered, "Son, you have also worked hard in the middle of the night, why don't you rest first?" "It's not much louder than a mosquito.

Li Zhongyi was slightly stunned, and then realized that Huang Jingsheng's mind was extremely dirty.

He grabbed the sandalwood folding fan on the table and knocked it heavily on Huang Jingsheng's head, "What are you thinking about in your pig brain?" ”

Huang Jingsheng shrunk his shoulders, and didn't dare to refute, so he retreated to the back in a sneering manner.

The search lasted from late at night until dawn, and on the Dongcheng side, the township soldiers arrested a lot of Jiangyang thieves and ruffians who were traitors.

In addition, because the village soldiers carried out carpet searches, using wooden sticks to beat the ground and walls, there were also some cellars dug in private, and hollow walls where money or jewelry were hidden.

However, except for these criminal criminals, there has never been a trace of Zhou Jun's spies.

For this situation, Li Zhongyi has always been very calm, and did not express his disappointment. Because he had a plan, he just needed to gradually close the net.

"Dahu, if you were a spy of the Zhou army, where would you hide after setting the fire?" Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and asked Wang Dahu, who had worked hard all night.

Wang Dahu thought for a while and said: "The people's homes are too dangerous, as long as the four doors are closed and the house is searched, it is equivalent to catching turtles in the urn." If it were me, I would definitely find a way to hide in the house of the gentry. ”

Li Zhongyi stood up, patted Wang Dahu's shoulder with a smile, turned his head and asked Guo Huai: "Those officials and gentry, what did you do last night?" ”

Guo Huai opened a booklet in his hand and reported in detail: "The housekeeper of the county's main book went out sneakily last night, and it has been taken down by the brothers who are hiding in the shadows. The county magistrate rested at home in the outer room last night, and went back to the yamen directly this morning. The county lieutenant lost his temper at home last night and smashed a few plates......"

According to Guo Huai's report, none of the things in it were caused by the garrison generals. Li Zhongyi nodded, Meng Renyi is the emperor's younger brother after all, although he doesn't know what the level of actual command of the battle is, his authority in the army is still very large, and he can deter those military leaders.

Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that the garrison that took over the defense of Hechi was the Jinwuwei Forbidden Army brought by Meng Renyi. Most of the senior generals in the army were personally raised by Meng Renyi, and their families and property are all in Chengdu.

As long as they are not cornered and have no other choice, it is unlikely that these high-ranking generals will betray Meng Renyi lightly.

Then, the focus of the anti-spy will inevitably fall on the gentry and petty officials of the county.

There is a saying that the yamen beaten by iron is the official of flowing water. It refers to the county commander who is the head of a county, and it is impossible to serve in one place for a long time, and when the term of office expires, he must be transferred to another place to be an official.

However, many important local officials have become almost hereditary. This is because, under the objective condition that the imperial power is not lower than that of the county, it is difficult for the county magistrates transferred from other places to grasp the details of the county's taxes in a short period of time.

However, taxation was one of the most important indicators for the imperial court to evaluate local officials, which forced the county to rely on the help of local old officials.

Like modern accountants who make false accounts, most of the county officials in this era kept real tax accounts in private.

In addition, there is also a type of yamen old officials, who are particularly aware of the family background of the county's gentry and know who cannot be provoked, which is also the information that the county order must grasp.

According to the information that Li Zhongyi had in advance, the officials and officials of this county basically live in Xicheng, a relatively prosperous and lively area.

Dongcheng is actually equivalent to the urban village in later generations, where all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and ghosts are mixed among the poor, waiting for opportunities to commit crimes.

Li Zhongyi didn't want to make a big move, but unfortunately, the battle situation from the front was too bad.

In order to be able to defend the river pool and save his and Meng Renyi's lives, Li Zhongyi had to sacrifice an iron fist and clear away a hidden danger to public security in advance.

After a long period of searching, the entire Dongcheng arrested more than 300 ruffians and ** who often acted as traitors, as well as robbers and bandits who killed people and crossed goods, and confiscated a large number of privately hidden bows, crossbows, knives, guns and other weapons.

Li Zhongyi ordered people to tie these people to a wide street entrance, and then ordered his united village soldiers to take turns killing people with fire as a unit.

Although it was the first time in his life that he ordered the killing of a living person, Li Zhongyi, who was sitting on a tiger skin chair, was surprised to feel that he was not too nervous.

Li Zhongyi thought to himself, maybe in his previous life in front of the operating table, he had seen a lot of deceased people who were too seriously injured and could not be rescued, right?

"First fire, out of the ranks!" At the sound of the officer's command, a fiery ten soldiers, spear in hand, appeared in front of a row of death row inmates tied to a wooden stake.

"Aim for the heart, prepare, stab!" The officer decisively gave the order to kill.

"Ah......" The miserable howls of several death row inmates before they died made all the onlookers feel furious.

Some timid people, their heartbeats increased dramatically, and they hurriedly closed their eyes, not daring to look again.

After the officer's inspection, he felt very embarrassed by the effect of the villagers' first killing.

Counting the ten pikemen of the fire chief, only three of them stabbed the prisoner in the heart and killed him with one shot.

The rest of the pikemen were stabbed in the spot, and instead of dying, the condemned prisoner lay in a pool of blood, convulsing and rolling on the ground, turning the street into a living hell on earth.

This is what Li Zhongyi expected, he is not surprised, and it is understandable.

I think that at the beginning, when he followed the instructor to dissect the corpse for the first time, he was frightened out of the field. And, for a week, as soon as he closed his eyes, his mind swirled with the terrifying appearance of the corpse.

The last two village soldiers, who did not shoot at all because of fear, made the officer feel very embarrassed, and he decisively ordered: "Come on, take down these two useless dogs, strip them of their armor, and each of them will be beaten with thirty military sticks, and drive them out of the river." ”

This time, the spearhead was aimed at the township soldiers' own people, and Li Zhongyi wanted to see if the military order could be resolutely carried out by everyone.

With the officer's order, the two cowards were taken down on the spot, stripped off their pants, and spanked with military sticks.

In the process of beating the military stick, Li Zhongyi stood up from the tiger skin chair and walked to the center of the field.

In front of everyone's eyes, Li Zhongyi pulled out his waist knife, stabbed it into the sky fiercely, and shouted: "If anyone dares to disobey the military order, there will be no mercy!" ”

In fact, most of the united township soldiers present had been beaten with military sticks during training, and with only three or five military sticks, they could beat you to cry your father and call your mother, and your skin and flesh would bloom.

According to the regulations, any soldier who does not meet the training standards must be beaten with three military sticks and start all over again.

So, after being beaten, the five village soldiers who did not pierce the center of the mouth limped to the front of several criminals who were not yet dead, raised their guns to the heart, and stabbed them fiercely.

Because the criminals were not enough, in line with the principle of waste utilization, Guo Huai ordered the township soldiers to line up in a neat queue and shoot at the dead bodies of the criminals in turn.

Two hours later, all the United Township soldiers, including the officers, without exception, had human blood on their hands.

Li Zhongyi scanned the audience with his hands behind his back, and some of the villagers dodged their eyes and didn't dare to look at him.

However, there were other brave villagers who dared to look directly at him.

Facing many murderous eyes, Li Zhongyi thought to himself, the effect of his training should be okay, right?

I heard that Li Zhongyi was at the corner of the street, and he killed hundreds of people at one time, and those who had good deeds gave him the nickname: King Li Yan.

For a time, many ignorant women and children, scaring their disobedient children, had to say, "When King Li Yan comes, I will carefully skin you." ”
