Under Zhang Ben's order, the guys in the wine house came out one after another with household plates and were inspected one by one.

The county soldiers all checked and confirmed that there was no problem, and Deng Yu, Dong Xuan, Zhang Ben and others entered the wine house.

Everyone went up to the third floor together, and here on the third floor, there are boxes all around, and when you open the window, you can see that it is far away, and there is a hall in the center, and the space is very spacious.

Deng Yu, Dong Xuan, Zhang Ben and others walked into a box in the southwest corner, opened the window, and could see the west and south directions.

The county soldiers entered from the west of the Northeast Guo District, and gradually advanced to the south, east, and north.

Dong Xuan looked at the sky, the sun was hanging high, and he said with a straight face: "General Right, it is estimated that I will be busy all night today." ”

Deng Yu smiled disapprerovingly and said, "As long as you can get something, even if you stay up for two or three more nights, it's worth it." ”

Dong Xuanzheng said: "This time, thanks to the help of General You, otherwise, I don't know when we will have to investigate it by relying only on the manpower of our county government." ”

Deng Yu said with a smile: "Dong County Ling is polite, this investigation is also preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival, as long as everything can be peaceful on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it doesn't matter if we work hard now." ”

Dong Xuan nodded again and again, and arched his hand and said, "What General Right said is extremely true!" ”

While they were talking, there was a sudden commotion at the bottom of the pavilion.

Dong Xuan frowned and turned his head to look at Zhang Ben.

The latter understood, and said to Deng Yu: "Duke Deng, go down and see what happened." ”

Seeing Deng Yu nodding, Zhang Ben quickly went downstairs and came to the first floor.

He looked up and saw a group of people standing outside the winery, and a group of county soldiers with spears, forcing them.

Zhang Ben's face showed displeasure, Qiwanlou has been under martial law, and there are still people who are so short-sighted that they have to break in.

He walked out quickly, went outside the building, separated the county soldiers under him, and walked out of the crowd, Zhang Ben was just about to speak, but when he saw the appearance of the other side clearly, his face changed suddenly, and he opened his mouth involuntarily, and said, "Your Majesty......" This group of people, led by a young man who looks like he is in his twenties, handsome, tall, wearing brocade, and has an extraordinary temperament, this is none other than Liu Xiu, and with him are Luo You, Hua Feiyan, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Xiao, Xu Ying, Xu Ting, Xu Fei and others.

Seeing that Zhang Ben was about to call out his identity, Liu Xiu waved his hand to him and said with a smile: "County Lieutenant Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed." ”

Zhang Ben was so clever, as soon as he heard this, he immediately realized that His Majesty didn't want to reveal his identity and didn't want to be known that he was here, so he hurriedly changed his words and said: "It turned out to be Liu Gongzi, disrespectful, disrespectful, hurry up, please inside, please inside!" ”

As he spoke, he bowed his body and turned sideways to the side, and at the same time scolded the county soldiers under him: "Don't be rude to Liu Gongzi, retreat quickly!" ”

The county soldiers were reprimanded inexplicably, and it was not clear who this 'Liu Gongzi', who was respected as a guest by the county lieutenant.

People didn't dare to ask more, so they bowed to Zhang Ben and retreated to both sides.

Zhang Ben smiled all over his face, nodded and waved his hand, and said, "Young Master Liu, please!" ”

"Please!"

Liu Xiu waved his hand to Zhang Ben, and then walked towards the wine house.

These people around Liu Xiu are not comparable to Zhang Ben.

Every time he walked in front of him, Zhang Ben had to nod his head once.

The county soldiers and the Jingshi army present were stunned for a moment, and their hearts became more and more curious.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu stopped, turned around and called: "County Lieutenant Zhang!" ”

Hearing Liu Xiu's summons, Zhang Ben immediately stepped forward quickly, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty...... Liu Gongzi! ”

Liu Xiu asked, "General Right and Dong County Commander are also here?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty...... Liu Gongzi, Deng Gong and Dong Xian Ling were all in the box on the third floor. ”

"Take me up."

"Yes, yes, yes, Childe, please here!"

Under Zhang Ben's guidance, Liu Xiu went up to the third floor.

Deng Yu and Dong Xuan heard the movement, walked out of the box, and saw that the person who came turned out to be Liu Xiu, the two of them were stunned at first, and then they both bowed down and saluted, and said: "Weichen greets Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Xiu first waved his hand to the two of them, and then raised his eyes to look around, very satisfied with the environment here.

He said happily: "Dong County Order, today the county government is investigating the Northeast Guo District, don't you mind if I come here to take a look?" ”

Dong Xuan's body was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is tormenting Weichen!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled, nodded to Deng Yu again, and asked, "What's the situation now?" ”

Deng Yu waved his hand to the southwest box and said, "Your Majesty, please come here!" ”

Liu Xiu walked into the box with his hands behind his back, Deng Yu stepped forward and pointed to the window facing west, and said: "At present, all the exits in the Northeast Guo District have been blocked, and the county soldiers have entered the Guo District and are ......conducting investigations from west to east." Deng Yu pointed out the window and explained to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "This time, I spent so much energy, I hope to gain something." ”

Zhang Ben stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this time the county government and the Jingshi army have joined forces to weave a big net, as long as there are stinky fish and rotten shrimp hidden in the Northeast Guo District, they can be fished up!" ”

Liu Xiu glanced at Zhang Ben with satisfaction, and then reminded: "Don't take it lightly, the people of Si'a are very good at disguise, and if they are negligent, they may leak it." ”

Zhang Ben bowed down and said: "Wechen has already explained, don't worry about how long it will take, this investigation must be foolproof." ”

"Hmm!"

Liu Xiu answered, and then he walked to the windowsill and looked out.

Although you can stand high and see far, the area of the Northeast Guo District is too large, and even if you stand on the high pavilion in the center of the Guo District, you can only see the general idea clearly, and you can't see the specific situation of the streets and alleys.

In the Northeast Guo District, there are six main streets alone, and there are dozens of alleys of different sizes, and there are countless alleys that are more numerous than the alleys.

To do the investigation in such a large area, the workload can be imagined.

Liu Xiu raised his eyes and looked at it for a moment, then asked, "How long has it been?" ”

Dong Xuan replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it's been almost half an hour." ”

Liu Xiu frowned slightly, it had been progressing for half an hour, and it seemed that the place that had been investigated was only the edge of Guo District.

After a moment of silence, he said to Deng Yu, Dong Xuan, and Zhang Ben: "I estimate that it will be difficult to complete the investigation in one day, and more manpower needs to be raised for replacement." ”

You can't keep your existing staff working day and night, you have to be ready to replace them.

Deng Yu and the others had the same straight faces, and they all bowed down and responded: "Your Majesty reminded you very much!" ”

Under Liu Xiu's prompting, Deng Yu arranged for his subordinates to go to the Beijing army camp outside the city to gather spare soldiers and horses, and Zhang Ben also sent his subordinates back to the county government to recruit and deploy county soldiers for patrol.

Although the speed of the county soldier's investigation was slow, it was very careful, and they went door to door to check one by one.

Once it is found that someone's current situation does not match the household version, there is no need to explain, and they will be taken away, detained, and interrogated immediately.

Even if people's current situation can be matched with the household version, the county soldiers will still ask questions based on the information on the household version, and if they can't answer it, they will still be detained and interrogated.

The investigation lasted from noon to evening, and after such a long time, the county soldiers only completed one-fifth of the investigation, and during this period, a total of more than 500 people were arrested.

Some of them, after interrogation, confirmed that there was no problem, and were released directly, but there are still more than 300 people who cannot be ruled out of suspicion.

The county soldiers requisitioned two inns in the city, which were specially used to detain these suspicious people, and there were joint guards of the Beijing division army and the county soldiers outside.

Feng Liu is Zhang Ben's younger brother, and he used to be a small ruffian who followed Zhang Ben.

After Zhang Ben became a county lieutenant, Feng Liu followed Zhang Ben to the county government and became a county soldier.

This time, the county government investigated the Northeast Guo District, and Feng Liu received the task of being responsible for the investigation of Chunpeng Lane.

Chunpeng Lane is an alley from west to east, very narrow and long, which can lead all the way to the vicinity of Qiwanlou.

The alley is quite prosperous, with large and small shops on both sides.

Because there are few houses and many shops, many shops have been closed, and the speed of investigation is relatively faster.

Feng Liu took more than a dozen county soldiers to a house in the middle of the alley, and a sign was erected in front of the door of the house, which read Flying Tiger Martial Arts.

The so-called martial arts house, that is, the martial arts hall.

Feng Liu and the others looked at the sign, and a soldier asked in a low voice: "Team rate, do you need to investigate here?" ”

Feng Liu glanced at the county soldier and said in a deep voice: "My lord has explained, but all the houses in Guo District, where there are people living in them, must be investigated one by one, and those that no one lives in must also be carefully searched." ”

As he spoke, he shook his head and shouted, "Go over and call the door!" ”

A county soldier agreed, carried a spear, walked to the door of the martial house, and slapped the door.

After a short time, the door opened, and out of it came twenty or thirty people.

These people, all dressed in short brown, are all born with strong force.

Short brown is a short coat, and ordinary people are not suitable for wearing long coats for the convenience of work, so they usually wear short brown.

However, short brown clothes were only popular at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the early and middle period of the Western Han Dynasty, people's clothing still followed the Qin system, and the pants had no crotch, only two trouser legs, so this required the jacket to be long and had to cover the underneath.

However, the army is an exception, and the soldiers of the army have pants with crotch to wear, thanks to the Hufu cavalry of King Zhao Wuling.

If the cavalry were all wearing crotchless trousers and rubbing their bare butts on horseback, no one would be able to stand the taste.

After King Wuling of Zhao implemented Hufu cavalry shooting, the soldiers were all put on pants with crotch, and real cavalry appeared in the Central Plains.

However, pants with crotch were not mainstream at that time, they were non-mainstream alternative clothing, and they were the clothing of the Hu barbarians, which was not accepted by orthodoxy.

Later, the Han Dynasty destroyed the Qin, and the Western Han Dynasty also followed the ancient system, and people continued to wear open crotch pants.

Until the period of Emperor Wu, the witch rebellion occurred, and Huo Guang gradually took control of the power and tilted the power towards the government and the opposition.

This Huo Guang is Huo Quai's half-brother.

The queen at that time was Huo Guang's niece, and of course he hoped that his niece could give birth to an heir for the Son of Heaven.

But there are so many women in the harem, all of them are wearing open crotch pants, it is too convenient to do things, the ghost knows who can give birth to the emperor's eldest son for the emperor, Huo Guang After some meditation, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of adding pants to the crotch, so that even if the Son of Heaven wants to do things with which palace maid, it is not so convenient.

In this way, pants with a crotch were first introduced from the imperial palace, and then gradually affected the people.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the pants worn by people were basically crotched, so in the Western Han Dynasty, the curved robe that wrapped the body tightly began to decline rapidly in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was replaced by a relatively loose and more comfortable straight-lined robe became the mainstream.
