"Alright, don't make any noise." Bai Liyan pressed his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "The matter of horses is small, and the thieves are bold and big, and such a person who steals the official palace without the law of the king is not forgivable for the crime of stealing, but he despises my king and despises the law, and his crime is serious." General Liao Ping. ”

"The last general, what does the Hou Ye command?"

"From now on, your department will be responsible for the search of the whole city, giving priority to the intersections where you live, and you can let go of the road and checking pedestrians without the need to close the road and check the passers-by, but all horses with higher backs will be seized for the time being. Then they searched from the east of the city to the west of the city, house by house, and did not let go of a corner. ”

"The last will obey."

……

"General Huang Che."

"Here, if Master Hou has any orders, just say it, it must be wrapped up in someone Huang."

"You immediately scatter some of your manpower, and make them gang up to go through the market, only to show off the market, not to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and if anyone does it, they will all be seized. At the same time, they will send men to the outside of the four gates, but all those who go out of the city, especially those who wander in the city, will be registered, and those who resist will be caught, and those who dare to carry out the murder with a sharp blade will be killed. ”

"Please rest assured, Master Hou, my brothers are all hot-eyed, and it is the least important to recognize people."

"That's fine. After a half-hour delay in closing the door after dark today, the two of them quickly set out to search for the horses. ”

"No!"

Huang Che and Liao Ping spoke in unison, and then each of them automatically selected and transferred troops and horses. But there was nothing wrong with Qiu Ruipu, and he couldn't help asking:

"Lord Si Nong, General Huang and General Liao have all been transferred, what are the officials doing."

"The soldiers and horses of the administrative office immediately returned to their respective jurisdictions, posted notices to the people, and assisted Huang Che and Liao Ping in maintaining law and order in each city."

"......"

Qiu Ruipu wanted to speak and stopped, and Bai Liyan resolutely knew what he wanted to say:

"Lord Qiu doesn't need to ask more, the execution is immediate."

"No."

Qiu Ruipu actually wanted to say that the horses were stolen from the inside and outside, so he should first investigate the soldiers and officials of the office. Of course, Bai Liyan knew in his heart that if there was no internal response, how to steal the horses in the governance center. Precisely because it involves the government, it is more likely to involve a wide range of organized crime, and if it is excluded first, it will undoubtedly give foreign aid time and opportunity to divert and eliminate traces.

Asking Liao Ping and Huang Che to search the streets is not only a shock to the mountain, but also a posture of tightening the outside and loosening the inside, harassing related and unrelated criminal organizations, making them feel tremendous pressure and flee from the city.

In the final analysis, losing horses is not a big deal, the important thing is that the forces of all parties entrenched in the royal city have been sinking underwater, and it is obviously not a good sign to put their hands into the official mansion, so to search for it and determine the intention is the real purpose of Bailiyan, and finding the horse is more of a incidental link.

The king's auxiliary army has an establishment of 2,000 people, and the auxiliary army has a strength of 2,000 people, which is a large military unit in various places. In peacetime, except for the capital and Guangxin, the soldiers of each city and county ranged from 300 to 1,000, and most of them had only 3,500 people, and there were more than 1,000 people.

In peacetime, the more non-laborers occupy, not only will the state treasury spend more money and grain to support them, but the young and middle-aged people in the local areas will enlist in the army, and agriculture will inevitably be slackened.

The town army is leisurely and fashionable, and can farm for one season a year, raise some livestock for their own use, and obtain some agricultural harvest. Auxiliaries are more responsible for maintaining local law and order, so they do not generate additional economic income, with the exception of gray income. The security of the royal city is complicated, the location is special, and the auxiliary soldiers of 2,000 people are really not excessive.

Just after mid-morning, a group of soldiers stationed at all the intersections of the streets and alleys in an orderly manner, neither blockade nor check, and all of them guarded the intersections to monitor the passing animals, but all those who carried more than others were seized.

At the same time, Liao Ping personally threw people down, and searched from the east of the city to the west of the city from house to house, whether it was rich or poor, warehouses or buildings, he did not let go of any place.

Huang Che scattered his hands at the same time, and more than a dozen people gathered into a group, wrapped their arms around the arm scarf of Huang's gambling house, patrolled aimlessly along the street, and immediately arrested and seized suspicious people and never let go. Thousands of officers and soldiers and thugs quickly spread out along the streets and weaved into a large net to search for lawbreakers.

At this time, Mick and Hu Ai were uneasy, Zhaoyang Jun Hu Ai never thought that for the sake of five horses, Baili Yan would dispatch the whole city to search for them, Mick thought of Bai Li Yan's three-plate axe, but he didn't have a way. Disaster was broken, but he didn't think about how to end it.

Therefore, the word "backer" at the critical moment highlights the true meaning of its "commendable". Mick decided to leave the city and fled to Chengling to find his father Mi Yuan and his eldest brother Mi Yi for help.

"In my opinion, while the sky is not dark, you and I will hurry out of the city to find my father, in case it falls into the hands of Bailiyan, he will cut first and then play, and you and I will never end well."

"But is this going to work?" Hu Ai couldn't help but be afraid, thinking that Bai Liyan might have known that they had done this, and was waiting to drive them out of the city, so that he could rob and kill them on the way.

In fact, this kind of worry is a bit redundant, Bai Liyan really didn't expect that it was two "little dolls" fighting with him at this moment. Mick saw this very clearly, he only understood one thing, that is, the horse team has not been arrested so far, which means that Bailiyan has no way of knowing who is colluding with the horse team, if he doesn't leave at this time, he will definitely not be able to leave in the future.

"Can't wait any longer, leave now. If you don't leave, you can stay. ”

"Okay, let's go together. But what is the horse team doing? ”

"Send him some money, let him get out and hide as soon as possible, he must hide outside the king's family, and those on the other lines can hide, and get out of the city quickly."

"What about the horses?"

"Let's lock it underground for the time being, whether it's dead or alive, and wait for the limelight to come. Anyway, it's not on your and my territory, and if you catch it, you can't plant it on your head. ”

After the appearance of artillery, the Xian army promoted a large number of field fortifications and underground bunkers, but all newly built cities and large towns, without exception, were funded by the government to dig public underground bunkers, which were closed in peacetime and started war.

But this trend also blew on the powerful and the rich, so all those who had some petty bourgeoisie dug basements and bunkers just in case. Mick hid the stolen five horses in the public bunker, and no one could have imagined that the stolen goods from the government would be hidden on the official's own territory.

The two agreed to escape routes, and Mick did not forget to encourage other unidentified rich and noble sons and the second generation of powerful people to mix among them and go out of the city through the four gates, so around noon, the two culprits fled.

Of course, Mick is a "child" after all, he thinks about this matter simply, Bailiyan drunkard does not mean to drink, even if he knows that the two of them stole the horse, he will not care about these two miscellaneous fish at all.

Everything in Wang Juncheng is like a pot of porridge, the thicker it becomes, the thicker it is, the more it is like pounding paste, at this time, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, it is like a heavy rain falling from the sky, not only making a pot of paste melt, but also seeing every grain of rice boiled into slag clearly.

What Bailiyan wants is not to find out the rat feces that spoiled a pot of porridge, but to find a litter of rats that around this pot of porridge. It's not so much a grain of rat droppings that spoils a pot of porridge as a pooping rat that kills a litter.

By the end of the night, the door was locked at night, and the search of the whole city made no progress, but nothing was found, and a large number of horses were detained, including some good ones.

"Qi Yongxing Hou, the search has not been searched in Dongcheng for half a day, and the last general will ask for a continuation of the search tomorrow."

Liao Ping reported today's details in detail, although there was no gain, Bai Liyan did not blame him at all.

"Continue the search tomorrow until the whole city is searched. In addition, there will be a curfew one hour earlier tonight, and all street intersections will not be removed until the whole city is searched. ”

"No." Liao Ping responded to the order, and then said: "Although I didn't find Hou Ye's BMW today, I also found a lot of good horses, many of which were excellent war horses with a height of one person, mixed in the horse teams of horses, pack horses and even merchants, and even some kept horses in captivity outside the city in the name of racetracks. ”

"Yes." Bai Liyan looked at Huang Che and asked, "General Huang, the racecourse is your territory, is it appropriate to keep a large number of high-grade war horses in captivity in the name of the racecourse?" ”

"It's not easy to say, there are more than 700 horses registered in the racecourse, and about 300 horses have recently competed, and it is normal to say that there are more than 400 racehorses raised by the owners in their own homes, or their own racecourses outside the city. But to say that he is led to walk his horse on the street all day long, this is not normal.

And the code number of each racing horse is unique, the horse will be expelled after the withdrawal of the race, the code number will be invalid from then on, to say that there is a horse number and a horse racing license outflow, a few may be possible, but a large outflow is absolutely impossible. ”

"In this way, it is not normal for a large number of horses to be in the city and horses to be in the city."

Huang Che nodded:

"Exactly."

"Let's go, come with me."

There are roughly three sources of horses in Xianguo, one is that the horses of all kinds supplied by the Qianyue Mountain Horse Farm every year are brought back to the country through the imperial court, and after the selection of the military horses, the military horses are returned to the town army, and the forbidden army is allocated, and then the remaining horses are sent to the horse market for trading.

The second is foreign imports, but there are two types of imports: official imports and private license imports.

Because the Xianguo obtained the right to graze in the Qianyue Mountain, which reversed the import situation of the middle and upper class horses of the Xianguo in one fell swoop, the military horses changed the level of the previous medium horses, after more than ten years of cutting and breeding, the first-line main war horses of the Xian army equipment are all first-class and first-class superior Central Plains war horses, and the second-class or inferior military horses are used for the preparation of horses, and the medium horses are used as traction and baggage transfer.

On the contrary, inferior horses, horses, and pack horses are in short supply due to the development of the commodity economy, the rapid development of logistics and the large sales of four-wheeled baggage vehicles, so inferior horses need to be imported.

However, only inferior horses need to be imported, and high-class horses, medium and even excellent horses may not be enough for self-sufficiency in the early years of Xianguo, and after more than ten years of breeding and breeding, they can now fully meet the needs of the domestic army and market, so there is almost no need to import good horses.

The third is smuggling, but the official market for high-quality horses and medium-class horses in Xianguo has been suppressed, and now that the war has subsided for many years, the breeding of horses has resumed growth, and the stocking of horses in Xianguo has hit the traditional horse-breeding power, so even the price of high-quality horses has fallen by nearly half compared with 20 years ago.

At the same time, due to the constraints of the span of today's territory, horses need to consume a lot of grain and grass on the way to smuggle horses, and they will be confiscated if they are careless during customs clearance, so the more high-quality horses are consumed, so under the suppression of the official horse market, the profits of smuggling high-grade and medium-class horses are not high.
