Chapter 515: Undercurrent (10)

Zou Zhenggang walked past the tea shed without squinting, and Lu Yi didn't find anything abnormal. However, before getting up and following, he still carefully observed. There was nothing unusual, so he put down the tea bowl that covered his face and stood up.

At this moment, Lu Yi suddenly saw the old beggar at the opposite bridge make a strange move: first his whole body trembled, and then he quickly slapped himself in the face.

What happened?

Could it be that a bug got into his crotch, or did a mosquito bite his face?

An old beggar with a gray beard, who was trembling when he asked for money just now, is now walking like lightning and moving like a rabbit.

It's clear that this is a disguised spy!

There are spies who have set up surveillance in advance, and Zou Zhenggang is likely to be exposed.

So did you expose yourself?

Not necessarily!

Between the lightning and the flint, Lu Yi made such a judgment. Because when he arrived in Chengdu Mansion, except for Huang Song, the special envoy sent by Ma Wenke to Qiongzhou, he only did one thing: he wrote a few words on the wall in the middle of the night!

Other than that, he didn't have any other actions at all, how could it be exposed!

Thinking of this, Lu Yi immediately calmed down. He pretended to pay the bill, first slowly groped out a few copper coins from his arms and put them on the table, and then shouted loudly for the boss to collect the money. When the boss appeared with a smile, he carried the package on his back, followed the opposite direction of Zou Zhenggang's route, crossed the East Gate Bridge, and walked towards the East Gate.

Of course, Lu Yi will not enter the city.

At the gates of the city there were not only tax collectors, but also police officers who checked yellow and white cards. Maybe Lu Yi can use his Beizhi accent to get by, but he doesn't want to be locked up in the tall city wall and caught in an urn by the people of the Shu Palace.

Lu Yi crossed the bridge, took advantage of the congestion at the city gate, dodged away, and walked north along the inland embankment of the Jinjiang River.

His wishful thinking is to check if there is a tail behind him first. There is no best; If there is, the idea is to get rid of it.

Wait until you are sure that you are safe, and then think about crossing the river, and inform Ma Gong to leave quickly.

……

Compared with the rubbing shoulders on the other side of the Jinjiang River, the embankment of the Jinjiang River is red and willow green, and there are few pedestrians. Sandwiched between the city walls and the river, it is a narrow area with few shops and homes. If someone is following, it is easy to detect.

Lu Yi walked forward quickly, looking back from time to time to observe whether there were any people who had been following him for a long time.

However, he soon realized that he had made a stupid mistake. Because there is only one way to go from the east gate to the north gate, others have to follow if they don't want to, and it is impossible to distinguish who is the stalker.

Lu Yi was feeling frustrated in her heart, and suddenly saw a fishing boat landing in front of her. So he hurriedly went down to the riverbank, first pretending to be lost, and asked the boatman to show him the way. When the boatman laughed at him, an outsider, he hurriedly took out a silver bill and begged the boatman to give him a ride.

It turns out that this out-of-town businessman is not only a melon baby, but also a rich melon baby!

The boatman was overjoyed, and hurriedly untied the cable and set sail, drifting downstream to the Hejiang Pavilion downstream.

The Jinjiang River is not rippling, and it flows quietly. The ship calmly and slowly headed south.

Lu Yi looked at the bustling crowd on both sides of the strait, and her tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

No matter how capable the Shu Wangfu was, it was impossible to expect him to suddenly get on the boat in advance, and prepare the boat to track him in the river early;

And even if the people on the shore could see him, they didn't know when or where he would get off the boat, so they could only call in vain.

The boat was leisurely swimming, and when Lu Yi saw Hejiang Pavilion from afar, he thanked the boatman and let the boat dock to the left bank in advance.

The greedy boatman was determined to squeeze another piece of money out of this outsider.

He pretended to be kind enough to remind Lu Yi: Since the Chengdu government promulgated the public security regulations in Shudi, many outsiders who do business in Shu have been invited into the police shop and forced to apply for a "temporary residence card". If the guest officer has not applied for a "Temporary Residence Card" and plans to live in Shu for a long time, it is best to get one as soon as possible, so as not to be left in trouble by the government everywhere. He has a reliable friend who happens to be on an errand in the Wenchang Palace police shop and can help with it. For the sake of Lu Yi's customers, the price is preferential and the door-to-door service is provided.

Lu Yi knows what a "Temporary Residence Card" is.

That thing is a white card, also known as a white card. Although the color is different, the format is similar to that of the yellow card, and fingerprints are also required. Not only are there ten fingerprints in the upper and lower rows on the back of the card, but ten fingerprints must also be left on the registration form of the police shop. Compare two by two, and the gods will also appear as prototypes.

Now that he was fleeing, Lu Yi didn't want to leave traces, so he politely declined the boatman immediately.

The boatman was disappointed, and recommended his friend in the sedan car, saying that he could rent the sedan chair at a discount. As soon as Lu Yi heard that this was good, he immediately agreed to come down, and he rented two tops.

The boatman was overjoyed, tied the cable and led the lander to the sedan car, and recommended more than a dozen friends along the way - some opened hotels, some opened restaurants, some opened brothels, and some opened tooth shops......

Of course, there is also a certain official in the yamen and a certain father-in-law in the Shu Palace.

……

Lu Yi, who was relieved, and the joyful boatman could not have imagined that there would always be a clairvoyant eye staring at them on a protruding enemy platform (Note 1) on the tall city wall of Chengdu.

When the two green cloth soft sedan chairs turned their backs to the north and south, Han Wendou, the deputy director of the Shu'an Bureau, tore off his gray fake beard, revealing his bare chin. He threw the telescope to the people around him and yelled fiercely:

"What's going on? Why haven't the Huayang County police arrived yet? Hurry up, find any reason to stop the sedan chair, you can't let him run......"

Han Wendou was yelling at his subordinates, and Liang Ruguo, who had been the sheriff of Huayang County for less than a month, had already climbed the city wall quickly. His left hand drooped, his right hand against the wall, and his mouth was panting.

Since he was injured at the land pass, Liang Ruguo's left arm was basically crippled. Lang Zhong said that he hurt his muscles and bones, and he will not get better in this life.

It's not good, as long as you can do things.

After being injured, Liang Ruguo was personally escorted by Feng Ruhu to Chengdu Invalids General Hospital for medical treatment. But before the war wounds healed, he followed Feng Ruhu and Cai Shao to Dazhu.

In the Battle of Dazhu, Liang Ruguo, as a veteran with combat experience, recruited more than a dozen people as government officials to be responsible for the security of the city during the war. After defeating Li Hu, Feng Ruhu and Cai Shaoyan quickly led their troops to pursue north, while he was left behind to assist Mr. Fei Lao in protecting the territory and the people.

The chaos is peaceful, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt. Thousands of people want to divide their fields and return home, and there are still sporadic local rioters within a radius of 100 miles. Liang Ruguo was busy for several months, and the wound in his left shoulder socket began to inflame and suppurate, which finally caused him to have a high fever.

Feng Ruhu and Cai Shao knew Liang Ruguo's heroic experience, and also knew that the prince Zhu Pingjin paid attention to Liang Ruguo, so they strictly ordered him to retire and send him back to the Chengdu Mansion Invalids Retreat Institute.

The Invalides was built on the north of Chongyi Village in Xinfan County by a river, and it is a Zhuangzi with a beautiful environment and good living conditions. The Invalides Hospital was full of seriously injured and disabled officers and soldiers of the Protector Army and Shangzhuang, who had free food, clothing, and medical treatment, as well as beautiful female workers. According to the promise of the prince, these war-wounded officers and soldiers who have completely lost their ability to live can be raised in the Invalides for the rest of their lives.

Liang Ruguo was annoyed after spending more than a month in the Invalides. He felt that his injuries were only minor compared to other comrades-in-arms, and it did not affect his work at all.

So, Liang Ruguo wrote an application. Soon, his application was approved by the Cadre Bureau of the Directorate. It's just that his new position is not on the battlefield he wants, but still the old job in Dazhu County: the head of the government service - a sergeant in one of the first counties of Sichuan.

After taking office as the sheriff of Huayang County, Liang Ruguo spent more than half a month to quickly build seven police shops inside and outside the city of Huayang County in accordance with the requirements of Wu Jishan, who was in charge of the Chengdu government affairs, and Shen Yunzuo, who carried the seals of Huayang and Chengdu counties.

With the police shop police district, relying on the grassroots organizations of the Lijia neighborhood, and with the help of the city gate inspection, Liang Ruguo began to implement the yellow and white card system in Huayang County. Yellow cards are issued to permanent residents, and white cards are issued to migrants. Among them, the fingerprint comparison system of the card registration form is not only transplanted by Liang Ruguo's experience in registering refugees in Dazhu County, but also has the experience of Huitong Qianzhuang's anti-counterfeiting and counterfeiting.

But Huayang County is not Dazhu County, this is one of the first counties in Sichuan. Tens of thousands of people have to register in full, and you can imagine how many things are going on.

Just a group of young scholars from the Youth Federation copied and sorted out the registration materials, and filled three rooms!

Seeing that the matter of yellow and white cards has finally passed the peak, Liang Ruguo was invited by Wu Jishan again before dawn today, and ordered him to organize the police force and seal the Zhenwu Palace.

Lord Wu particularly emphasized that the closure of the Zhenwu Palace was to change the name of the shrine. This is a great event and must not be taken lightly.

The Ziyang Zhenren of Qingyang Palace has been ordered by the prince to be grounded for reflection, and the provincial capital will newly establish the Shidao Yamen. Wang Zhenren, who is in charge of the Taoist family in Shu in the Shidao Yamen, is named Wang Hong, and Li Liangyi, who is next to the prince, is from the high road of the Heming Holy Mountain. I heard that Wang Zhenren had bid farewell to his son and left Baoning Mansion for Chengdu. And the first thing Wang Zhenren did when he arrived at Chengdu Mansion was to go to this Zhenwu Palace to announce the changed gods (QI) and the names of the princes.

After worshipping the Zhenwu Emperor for two or three hundred years, he is no longer working, and he worships other gods instead? Under Wu Jishan's repeated reminders and hints, Liang Ruguo finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that the reformed immortals are the real bodies of the prince and Miss Luo before they were reincarnated!

Changing the worship of the prince and Miss Luo, Liang Ruguo raised his hands and feet in favor.

Without the great kindness of the prince, Liang Ruguo is still an orphan with no father and no mother outside Yazhou City, and a poor woodcutter who is in danger. It was the prince who took him all the way back to Chengdu from the mountains of Yazhou. After being injured, it was the prince who ordered Feng Ruhu to escort him back to the provincial capital to recuperate.

Everything that Liang Ruguo has is given by the son. In his mind, the son of the world is a bodhisattva and an immortal.

So Liang Ruguo received the order, and without saying a word, he rushed directly to the Wenchang Palace police shop to deploy specific matters. It's just that the head of the Wenchang police shop is a Pixian scholar who has passed the Shu examination, named Li Xiping, who is a little stubborn.

Li Xiping repeatedly asked Liang Ruguo to explain why the people were not allowed to visit Emperor Zhenwu, and repeatedly explained to Liang Ruguo how many believers visited the Zhenwu Palace every day, and how many unstable factors would be brought about by rashly sealing the Zhenwu Palace.

Liang Ruguo, a rough man born in firewood, where can he talk about a scholar with a belly of crooked truth? Moreover, before Wang Zhenren personally announced it, all matters related to the conversion were confidential and should not be disclosed at will.

Liang Ruguo finally got angry and slapped the table with his remaining hand, which calmed the hall and drove the police out to do business. However, before he could sit down and take a breath, the Shu'an Bureau came to the door again, saying that Deputy Director Han had something important to discuss.

The predecessor of the Shu'an Bureau was Liu Mingsheng's Military Intelligence Bureau, and the two were separated for only a few months. Han Wendou has also seen this person, Liang Ruguo, who is a hereditary officer of the left guard.

However, Feng Ruhu looked down on this former colleague of the left guard, and once scolded Han Wendou for "talking about people when he sees people, and talking nonsense when he sees ghosts", what kind of "costume actor".

Liang Ruguo has no prejudice against Han Wendou, but is quite interested in his ability to please the prince. Hearing that Director Han had something important to invite, Liang Ruguo hurriedly got on the donkey cart of Chuanjia 0150 at the police station and followed the visitor into the east gate.

Who knows, the place of this meeting is actually on the enemy platform at the head of the East Gate!

Note 1: The enemy platform, also known as the horse face, protrudes from the city wall and is the most common side fortification on the city wall.
