In the past, when night fell, the streets would be lit up for a while. Singing and dancing are carried in the open spaces of the city, late caravans are still waiting to enter the city, vendors pushing carts have paid their taxes and coins, shouting loudly in the enclosed market, and all kinds of snacks are smoky. With the pace of war, Bao Lan began to impose a curfew, and this new city in the heart of the desert began a difficult period, and this is even more true today, because of the arrest of spies, Lu Chang will knock on the door one by one with Ma Kuai or Ma Cha before noon.

It's just that the urban area is expanding too fast. When the city was built, there were dozens of households, less than a dozen households, but now it has jurisdiction over hundreds of households, although Luli has increased the establishment, more records, and can recruit two or three foreign errands who should be served, but it is only four to five people, and there is no problem in coordinating Luli on weekdays, but it is impossible to visit door to door in one night. And the horses with them are also in short supply. The lieutenants in charge of law and order had no more than 200 horses, and the rest were mostly peripheral formations.

The peripheral establishment is a major feature of the Eastern Xia, there are many skilled battelles on the Dongxia grassland, and there are some rangers similar to the Central Plains, but unlike the rangers who are driven by righteousness and are mostly famous, they are only for profit, only to accept the employment of others, or be hired to seek revenge, or be hired to escort caravans...... In particular, where caravans often moved, markets were formed, and many steppe swordsmen rode horses, armed with bows and arrows, weapons, and armor, waiting to be hired like lone wolves. The government will take the initiative to contact them, hire them, give them a small amount of funding and moral training, announce to them the direction of the murderer's escape and a more accurate portrait, and give them a reward after they catch the murderer, so as to solve the situation of the vast and sparsely populated area and the criminals fleeing to no man's land, and at the same time can restrain the steppe swordsmen within the law.

Two hundred horses is just a full number.

During the war, the number decreases even less, to the point of being jaw-dropping. It's not because the war is coming, people are scared and run away, but because these 200 horses are soldiers themselves, and many of them are still good at fighting, and they are famous in the military register, and they are recruited and transferred by the old troops of the permanent army, and some of them want to be transferred to the permanent army in every possible way, and some of them, if they are famous in their home flag, they will also be remembered by their home flag, and lobbyists come to the door in groups of three or five and come to say: "So-and-so Battle, please take leave to return to the hometown flag, the township flag has been ordered." ”

What can the government do?

We will make up for the gap in maintaining law and order for the time being.

When they knock on the door, they always have to say a few words, and they can't finish the inventory before noon.

Because of the curfew, people go to bed early, and they often visit thirty or fifty houses, and when they knock on the door, the people inside answer: "Wait a minute, let's light the lamp." ”

Light the lamp and get up...... It's all time. And the ones along the street are even more difficult to check, Baolan has good security, there are not many thieves, plus Ding Zhuang is assembled, most of the people left in the family are women, children, old and weak, only children and people with disabilities, most of them don't live in people, a few live in people, you can't knock it.

Bayi Usun took advantage of this void.

There was a knock on the door outside, and when he saw that no one said a word, there was no light, and he left.

Maybe after two or three days of investigation, he will definitely not be able to hide, but this night, at least he dodged.

Li Changsheng waited in the official office of the governor, waiting for a black line.

Bayusun's cunning was something he didn't expect.

He felt a sense of frustration.

For a long time, the "dark souls" from the Dongxia class have a very strong self-confidence, some of them have gone to school, some are drawn from the army, and then began to receive systematic training, they have several of their own training grounds outside Yuyang City, the training is carried out alone, and the content of the education is also all-inclusive, from "intelligence analysis", "tracking enemy tracks", to "environmental observation", "physical strength", "rescue yourself", and then to "identity cover-up", with all kinds of training and training, they often feel that they have gathered the world to be cunning, Treacherous, the enemy is vulnerable in front of him......

Li Changsheng is the same.

There are only three phases of the central students of "Dark Soul", with more than 100 people in each period, and there is still screening in the end, and it is good to have 30 people who have graduated.

Li Changsheng is a member of the first phase, with outstanding achievements, and now he has made great achievements in the dark soul, if there is another training, maybe he will be one of the instructors.

He didn't underestimate Bayi Wusun, but after repeated scrutiny, there was still no clue, and Bayi Wusun seemed to have disappeared.

Without any sleep, he pulled out the hundred households who were involved with Bayi Wusun for interrogation.

After the interrogation, I was hungry in the middle of the night, so I cooked some dry food to eat.

After eating, he still couldn't calm down, so he simply shouted out to several of his subordinates who had made mistakes with red eyes, corrected the mistakes they had made one by one, and told them that he had reported the matter to the king, and urged them to make meritorious contributions.

He has always been harsh, and his title in the dark soul is "Hawkeye".

Behind his back, his subordinates called him "poisonous eyes", alluding to his meticulousness, harshness and stubbornness.

It is said that Yayangu has already replied to him, and he can no longer deliberately pursue Bayi Wusun, but his heart is hot, so he wants to capture this person and bring him to justice.

However, he himself has no clue, and his subordinates are the same. In the end, in order to prevent him from forcing him to come up with an arrest plan, this one immediately went to the city gate to guard, and the other immediately went to the carriage and horse shop to squat......

When the people were finished, he still didn't feel sleepy, put on a handsome coat, held an oil lamp, and analyzed the map of the city.

Seeing that the rooster was crowing, he still ticked the map randomly, and there were words in his mouth: "Where are you hiding?" ”

Suddenly, he felt someone behind him, turned around suddenly, and slipped Shuai Dayu down, but the short knife was clasped on his hand, which showed that the training of the dark soul had penetrated deep into his bone marrow.

Seeing that it was Yayangu standing behind him, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "General." What are you doing here? ”

They were also an army, and although they had more formal official titles, they were still used to calling Yayangu "General", or "General of the Chinese Army".

Yayangu also knew that he was stubborn, and when he saw that the sky was dawning, he was still stupid and tossed, and a burst of pity surged in his heart, wanting to tell him that the work of the "dark soul" is like this, the right time, place and luck are very important, and a certain task or a certain case may not be able to produce results, but he is the head of an official office, and what the "dark soul" put forward is "must be corrected behind", and he can't deny the training of the dark soul, so he warned from another angle: "Everything must be like a bowstring, one loose, otherwise Bayi Wusun is active outside, but you will collapse." ”

Li Changsheng looked firm and said forcefully: "It's okay." Checkmate. I'm young. Good health. ”

Yayangu pressed his hand on his shoulder, patted it, and whispered, "You pulled it too tightly, can your brain stay clear?" You yourself are not awake, but Bayi Wusun is awake, perhaps he has eaten a full meal, slept well, recuperated and ready to escape. ”

Li Changsheng thought for a while and said, "Isn't he also racking his brains thinking about how to escape?" ”

Yayangu motioned for him to sit down, and he moved to sit down on top of him.

Sitting down, Yayangu earnestly taught: "He won't, he's not thinking about many paths, he's only drilling one way." If it were me, I wouldn't either. When I was a horse bandit, I was chased and killed on a snowy day, gnawing birch bark, and my heart was not thinking about how to get rid of them, but thinking about how to consume them. In the end, I resisted, and they didn't eat or drink, and they couldn't chase anymore. I'm here to look at you and tell you, don't cut yourself. You must know that both I and the king have high hopes for you. You don't live for a Bayi Usun, but for a lot of bad wolves like Bayi Wusun, even if you can't catch him this time, there will be a next time. ”

Li Changsheng hurriedly said: "The students have been taught. ”

Yayangu said, "What are we doing by suddenly sweeping the courtyard and arresting these spies? ”

Li Changsheng thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that they will pass on the news." ”

Yayangu nodded, and said softly: "It's not that I'm afraid that they will pass on the news, but I'm afraid that they will pass on the news in a timely manner, for now, the scope of our Dongxia conscription, these spies are afraid that it is not clear, the den is gone, the intelligence in the east can't be transmitted, the pigeon shed is gone, and the intelligence of Baolan can't be transmitted." At this time, the more you chase and the tighter you press, the faster the spy will run back, and you can guarantee that no one will slip through the net? ”

Li Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "No." He suddenly understood and came to his senses: "So we must be tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and don't give these people a sense of urgency." ”

Yayangu nodded slightly like a very learned person, showing the meaning of "the child can be taught", and motioned for him to continue.

Li Changsheng said happily: "I understand." What we need to do is not to arrest them, but to create obstacles for them to delay their return. ”

Yayanggu smiled: "It's good that you understand. ”

He said: "In the night came information again. The enemy has increased his troops again, and it is said that Tuoba Heiyun has also arrived at the front line, and this information must be confirmed, you put aside the matter at hand, send someone to contact us for a few long lines, and see if Tuoba Heiyun will relieve Yeli Youxin's military power, punish him, kill him, whether Yeli Youxin is willing, he also has soldiers in his hands, will he be with Tuoba Heiyun, or simply contact me Dongxia......"

Li Changsheng grasped the key and asked rhetorically: "Which situation is the most beneficial for us?" ”

Yayangu said: "Our aim is to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, to eat the enemy's main force on the eastern front with superior forces, and Nori Yushin is killed by seizing power, while his henchmen are preserved, and there is a possibility that we will rebel in the future, so that the result is the most beneficial to us." He got up and said, "Go and get some sleep." Give me priority when I wake up. ”

Yayangu was about to leave, a subordinate of Li Changsheng hurriedly broke in, saw that Yayangu was there, hurriedly saw it, and then, standing in front of the two of them, said: "At dawn, someone found that a woman and a child were killed on the street, and the means were extremely cruel. ”

Li Changsheng hurriedly glanced at Yayangu.

Yayangu thought for a moment and said, "It's time to go and see, let's go and see." Don't share too much manpower and effort. ”

Li Changsheng hugged his fists and left with his subordinates.

At this time, it was already dawn, and the businessmen had already gotten up and were busy, and outside the restaurant where Bayi Wusun had stayed, there were more than a dozen neighborhoods standing, and Zhang Tianwan was also inside, and she loudly told the people around her about her suspicions, and said that the hostess on the opposite side had rented a house to her.

Li Changsheng rushed to hang up his ears, and asked a subordinate to ask her, and he brought someone in, checked inside, and found a few clues.

One of the most important ones.

The house was turned into a mess.

The money in the cash box seemed to have been poured out and taken away, some small coins rolled down and were not picked up, and the gold and silver were soft and soft with signs of being taken away.

A burden was found on the female corpse, but the person who reported the crime did not dare to move, and the money, gold and silver jewelry were all there.

Li Changsheng put his fist under his nose and pondered, he suspected that the woman had taken the initiative to go.

He began to inspect the area of the house where several people were active, and found a piece of paper in the woman's room, which had been copied for several hours...... Combined with the time of the woman's death, it is the first hour that is written. This paper? He picked it up and sniffed it in his nose, although he didn't smell anything, but his thoughts had already been released, what did these hours represent?

He muttered, "What do these quarter-hour hours mean?" ”

Immediately afterward, he hypothesized to a subordinate who followed closely: "If these two murderous men are Bayi Wusun and another spy named He Zhu, who didn't kill last night, but killed someone this morning, and killed them on the street, what are they going to do?" Run away. Yes, run away. ”

He added, "The gold and silver are all on the woman, and it seems that the woman took the initiative and wanted to go with them." With the help of this woman, how can they go? ”

Turning back and asking, "Which street is the dead man?" ”

Immediately they showed him a map of the city, and he spread it out on the table and asked his men, "Have you gone to the gates?" See if there is a ......" In an instant, he remembered that some of his subordinates rushed to the duty in the middle of the night, and there was no news so far, indicating that it was unlikely that they would escape from the city gate.

There may not have been anyone who walked directly through the city gates, only the carriage and horse shops remained, and he connected a line between the nearby carriages and horses and the place of death, and said angrily: "It's a carriage." It's to the east. Bayi Wusun got into the carriage and went out of the east gate...... The hours and moments written down on the paper are the time when the carriage departs. This woman, really deserve to die, find her own death. ”

He waved his hand and shouted, "Go and test my guesses while chasing this carriage." ”

When he had done as he was told, he said to himself, "As soon as you go out of the city gate, the people will jump out of the cart." The general is right, I was in too much of a hurry. Go back to sleep. ”

As soon as they came out, the subordinates on duty at the east gate captured someone back with the help of the soldiers, and they were all very excited.

He walked up to him, and his subordinates said, "Captain." Caught one. It's with Bayi Usun. He was mixed in with the carriage, mixed in with the carriage, and was found by us when we inspected the carriage, and he was knocked down on the spot and arrested. Just asked him if Bayi Wusun was there, but he didn't know, saying that the carriage was not in enough place to sit four people, so Bayi Wusun let him get into the carriage alone and go first, and he had to take the woman and the child with him. ”

Li Changsheng laughed dryly twice and asked him rhetorically: "Is Bayi Wusun so good?" The people he was going to take died in the streets. ”

He snorted coldly, "If what I expected is true, you captured people and let the carriage go, right?" ”

The subordinate said, "That's right. That's right. The carriage is point-by-point. It's our own in Dongxia again, and the people above are still catching spies with us, what are we doing with the car? ”

After getting such a result, Li Changsheng smiled, his teeth stirred with hatred, and he muttered: "What a Bayi Wusun." is worthy of being a person who has competed with the king for Dongxia, and it really deserves its reputation. ”

The subordinates didn't understand, and they had to go to the carriage shop to check the carriage after that, and they were going to leave.

Li Changsheng grabbed one and shouted, "Don't go." If I am not to be convinced, Bayi Usun is hiding under the wagon...... He slew the mother and the son, and caught up with the wagon, and hung himself out of the city under the wagon, and this spy whom you had captured was the bait he used to test your search. ”
