Huzi entered the house listlessly, and after eating, he rushed to wash the dishes. Shuzhen glanced at him lovingly, pursed her lips and smiled, "It's only been two days, and you want to be like this?" ”

Huzi smiled shyly and muttered: "No, Nanshan had an accident yesterday, and the two People's Liberation Army soldiers of the grain collection team made people harm, one dead and one injured." Secretary Wang said that this matter is related to the relationship between the military and the government, and it is necessary to solve the case within a time limit so as to give an explanation to the above, but I don't even have a clue. ”

Seeing Huzi's sad face, Shuzhen stacked a bowl and said calmly: "At present, the reactionary forces in Nanshan are nothing more than the remnants of bandits and the armed forces of the Green Gang. After several encirclements and suppressions, they did not dare to openly come out to carry out activities, so they could only hide in the shadows and engage in sabotage. It's not easy to find their whereabouts. We are in the light, and others are in the dark, and if we don't do it well, we will suffer. Bringing people up to search for them is probably also looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

Huzi scratched the back of his head a little irritably, sighed lightly and muttered: "That's what I'm worried about, I can't help it, I can't find where to start." ”

Shuzhen pondered for a long time, and said as if talking to herself: "This matter can only be visited secretly, not overtly investigated." ”

Seeing that Huzi cheered up, Shuzhen said as if she was confident: "You don't need to bring a large team of people this time, just a few capable people to make up and investigate." Since the bandits dared to enter the village in broad daylight to commit crimes, it means that they have a den nearby. Step into their shadows, and then secretly send people to mobilize people to take them down in one fell swoop. Maybe if you go down the net, you can make big fish. ”

Huzi smiled happily when he heard it and said, "Let my godmother say this, my heart is bright." ”

As he spoke, he got up eagerly and said, "I'm going to find Secretary Wang to sum it up, the plan is final, and I'll leave tomorrow morning." ”

Shuzhen added a ditch and shouted, "Otherwise, I'll go with you!" ”

Huzi looked back and smiled and said, "Don't work hard. ”

Huzi and his party of three, dressed as cashmere merchants, came all the way to the place of the accident, Heijiawan.

Shen Wancai, the chief of security, is a tall middle-aged man with a black face, and he looks like a feathered monkey. Before Huzi finished speaking, he eagerly rushed to say: "Those two people are also too careless, they throw their guns when they sleep at night, and I also say a few times to make them careless, and the bandits and the people of the Green Gang are running around." Not only did they not listen, but they also said that now that they are liberated, there is no danger in the peaceful and prosperous world. In the end, it's better to bury your life. ”

Huzi smiled gently at him and said, "No matter what you say, the matter is in our hands, so we have to give someone an explanation." ”

After a pause, Huzi continued with a solemn expression: "Tell me in detail what you know." ”

Shen Wancai sighed lightly, and said with a slightly excited expression: "A few days ago, the surname Jin and the surname Du said that they had already made all the grain and planned to leave. I said that I would send people down the mountain, but the two of them said that they would not let anything, saying that it was very peaceful now.

After eating, the person surnamed Jin rode a donkey and the surname Du rode a horse out of the village. They walked from the middle road of Xiaolongkou to the small swamp in the northeast of Majiazhuangzi, and when they saw two people washing their hands in the pool, they didn't care. The two of them also got up to talk, but they didn't expect that the surname Jin was close, so the two of them suddenly pulled down the donkey and stabbed a few times. Don't even snort, and then you lose your breath.

The man surnamed Du came from behind, and when he found it, he was about to shoot, but two people suddenly rushed out from the reeds next to him, one grabbed the horse's halter, and the other dragged the one surnamed Jin off the horse. He picked up the gun on the ground and fired at the surnamed Kim. The bullet swept through his head, and he fainted on the spot. At this moment, a man named Pan Coppersmith happened to pass by, and the bandits hurried away when they saw someone coming. ”

When Shen Wancai said this, he shook his head sadly, sighed and continued: "When the surnamed Du woke up, the bandits were running away, and their guns, donkeys and horses were robbed. It was difficult to walk to the water mill of the hot water river, and then returned to the county seat with the help of enthusiastic people. ”

After hearing this, Huzi said with a slightly heavy expression: "Usually, can you see the shadow of bandits and the Green Gang in this area?" ”

Shen Wancai pondered for a moment and said: "I haven't seen it in the village, a few days ago, I heard the people of Xiliang Thief Ditch say that they have seen it. I just bought some food and drink, and I didn't have any mess. ”

Huzi said contemplatively: "I heard that there are many goats in the area of Thief Valley, is cashmere easy to harvest?" ”

Shen Wancai hesitated slightly, scratched his head and said, "There are a lot of sheep, but the cashmere is collected earlier, and a large number of cashmere is not enough." ”

Huzi had an idea and said, "You see if we order on behalf of us, okay?" ”

Shen Wancai smiled happily and said, "I think this method works, someone has done this before." ”

Huzi hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Are you familiar with the thief ditch?" ”

Shen Wancai said calmly: "Are you familiar, why aren't you familiar, my second aunt is in the thief ditch, and my uncle is still a village cadre." ”

Huzi smiled happily and said, "I want to ask you to be a guide and introduce you to us, and it will be convenient for us to go." ”

Shen Wancai happily agreed, saying, "This is not a good thing, I will simply accompany you to pour cashmere, and see that you are not good." ”

Huzi said excitedly: "Don't delay you, right?" ”

Shen Wancai looked disappreciative and said, "Don't delay anything, it's still early to work in the field." ”

Huzi pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "So, let's go to Pan Coppersmith first to see if he can provide some useful clues, and when we come back, we will enter the thief ditch." ”

Coppersmith Pan is a foreigner in his thirties, and when he saw Huzi and his party, he was stunned at first. After being introduced by Shen Wancai, Pan Coppersmith glanced at Huzi timidly, and said with a fluttering gaze: "I also saw very vaguely, first I heard the sound of gunshots, and then I was stunned to see two people, and I hurriedly rode a horse and ran away." When I got to the front, I saw that there was still a person lying on the ground, and his head was bloodied and he could still move. I was scared when I saw a few people running from the village to help him go. ”

Huzi nodded contemplatively, and said with a gentle face: "Didn't you see the appearance of the horse rider clearly?" Have you seen it before? ”

Coppersmith Pan tilted his head and thought about it, shook his head hesitantly and said, "I haven't seen it, and besides, it's too far away, and it looks very blurry." ”

Huzi nodded heavily, and then said with a serious expression: "We must not tell outsiders about the things we came to you today. If you leak the rumors, I'll ask you. ”

Coppersmith Pan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then nodded like garlic and said, "Don't worry!" Momada. I'm going to die here. ”

In the mountains of March, although the bright sunshine sprinkled the message of spring enthusiastically on the snow-stained ground, the timid plants were still careful to show only a sharp head. However, the remnants of snow everywhere show the last beauty of the year.

Huzi and his entourage entered the thief ditch with confidence.
