Unlike the previous two times, this time Yue Siliang didn't just bring Lei Zi alone. When he came to the county seat for the third time, Yue Siliang pulled the entire guard platoon over.

Of course, it is impossible for all the forty or so people to enter through the same opening in the first two times, which is not realistic at all. More than 40 people hulala coming together was too high-profile, and no matter from which direction they came, they would definitely attract the attention of the Japanese army and the security group.

The guard platoon was divided into several groups, some of them put their guns on their comrades, and they entered through the city gate normally, and some entered from other parts of the county. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and there are three hundred and sixty rows in the county, not all of which can be put on the table, and there are too many things hidden in the shadows. There is more than one way to enter the county seat without alarming people.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the entire guard platoon, a total of 40 people, gathered in an abandoned house in the county town.

This abandoned mansion was the harvest of Yue Siliang's first two visits to Lingqiu. Unlike the previous two times, this time Yue Siliang and the guard platoon were much more low-key, everyone was dressed in ordinary attire, and the colors and styles of clothes were also different, even if they went out together and walked on the street, it would not be too eye-catching. And in order to maximize the chance of not being recognized, Yue Siliang also deliberately changed his hairstyle this time.

"Commander, everyone is here."

When everyone gathered, Lei Zi said to Yue Siliang with some excitement. Years of fighting by Yue Siliang's side gave him a beast-like intuition. His instinct told him that this time they were going to do something big in the county.

"Good. Leizi, you and the rest of you stay here first. Tiezhu, you take two people with me. ”

Yue Siliang didn't say anything, and directly asked Wei Tiezhu to take two fresh faces with him. He deliberately did not bring a few soldiers who followed him before, in order to hide himself, not only to hide his identity as the commander of the Eighth Route Legion, but also to hide the identity of "Gao Shan".

"Captain, where are we going?"

Once he directly followed Yue Siliang out to act, Wei Tiezhu looked very excited. After all, in the past, Lei Zi was serving as Yue Siliang's "personal guard", and this time Yue Siliang ordered his general, which means that he Wei Tiezhu can also be in charge like Lei Zi.

"You kid is looking for death! You're going to call me the shopkeeper outside! ”

Yue Siliang was furious at that time, and scolded Tie Zhu fiercely. Fortunately, they had just left the house, and this street was a very remote location in the county, and now it was just an empty alley, and there was no one on the left and right.

Tie Zhu's neck shrank, and his eyes shook in fear. Compared with Lei Zi, his experience is relatively less, and he usually thinks more about things on the battlefield.

"Oh, yes, shopkeeper."

Everyone's clothes have changed, and so have the names they call each other. Yue Siliang looked more like a small shopkeeper now, and Tiezhu was his buddy.

"Shopkeeper, where are we going?"

"Go to Front Street, Zhang's Grain Store."

When Yue Siliang came, he had already thought about it, he wanted to go to the Zhang family's grain store to see what kind of character Zhang Yi was. In the middle of this, he probably won't show up, but hide to the side and observe quietly, letting the iron pillar go in to test it.

He took out a large folded felt hat from his bosom and unfastened it on his head to make himself look more low-key. Several people put their hands in their sleeves, shrunk their heads, and walked towards Zhang Jiliang with their waists bent.

When they arrived at the front street, when Zhang Ji Grain Store was just a few steps ahead, Yue Siliang and several other soldiers stopped, and sat down at a small tea shed next to it, while Tie Zhu entered Zhang Ji Grain Store alone with a corner ticket in his hand as they had agreed before.

"Shopkeeper, come here with a few bowls of hot oil tea to warm up."

Yue Siliang was not in a hurry to look around, just like other ordinary diners calling for food.

The weather is getting cooler day by day, and now you can get white air in the morning and night. At this time, drinking a bowl of hot oil tea noodles with cakes in the morning is a good choice to warm up. Fill your stomach and have the strength to do things for a while.

Just when Yue Siliang was sucking the oil tea in front of them clean, the iron pillar had already walked out of Zhang Ji's grain store. After coming out, Tie Zhu sat directly next to Yue Siliang.

"Shopkeeper, I'm back."

Yue Siliang nodded, did not rush to ask questions, but asked for another bowl of oil tea, and asked Tie Zhu to talk to himself while drinking.

"How?"

"It's black, it's so dark! A pound of sorghum rice costs two fucking dimes, and millet is even more expensive! ”

Tie Zhu scolded and said, he usually only cares about training and eating, and other affairs in the regiment are also worried about Di Hanming and civilian cadres. Although he had also heard about the shortage of military rations and the high price of grain, he did not expect that the price of grain in this Lingqiu County would rise so exaggeratedly, it was actually three times that of his hometown!

"Didn't ask you this! I mean, what do you see besides that? ”

Yue Siliang shook his head in distress, this iron pillar was still a little dead compared to Lei Zi.

"Well, not really. It was no different from any other grain store, and there were a few guys there when I went in. After I asked the price, I didn't seem to have much money and didn't mean to buy food, so I ignored me. ”

After Tie Zhu said this, Yue Siliang read his words with a frown.

"So, haven't you seen Zhang Ji's shopkeeper Zhang Yi?"

Yue Siliang's question did not hesitate, and his head shook like a rattle.

"No, I didn't see it, it's those guys inside. I stayed in it for a long time, and I didn't see a big shopkeeper, so a man with a long beard who looked like a settler came out to take a look. ”

Looking at Tie Zhu's serious gaze, Yue Siliang knew that what he said was absolutely not sloppy. But this also made me more irritable, and the uneasiness in my heart became more and more serious. The irritability in his heart made him talk to himself.

"It shouldn't be, Zhang Yi is Zhang Ji's manager, it is impossible to leave the store for no reason, this makes no sense......"

"This friend ......"

At this time, the owner of the tea shed, who was busy cleaning up the other two tables of guests and leaving the dishes and chopsticks, came over. He said with a hearty smile as he wiped his hands with his apron.

"Friend, you're afraid you're mistaken, aren't you? Where is Zhang Ji's grain store called Zhang Yi's shopkeeper. How many years have I been here, and I have always been just a Mr. Chen who is in charge of the accounts, and the old man is not young, his eyes are dizzy, and sometimes the accounts are not clear. Old customers are not very willing to come here to buy food, listen to me, if you are sincere to buy food, you should go to Heng Kee to buy it. ”

"Huh?!"

The words of the owner of this tea shed made Yue Siliang exclaim and look at each other in disbelief.

"Zhang Ji doesn't have a shopkeeper named Zhang Yi?"

Hearing Yue Siliang's questioning, the owner of the tea shed was not happy at that time.

"You still don't believe me? I have opened a tea shed here for more than ten years, and I have never heard of Zhang Yi having such a shopkeeper named Zhang Yi! In the past, Zhang Cheng, the son of the Zhang family, was in charge, and at the beginning of the year, Zhang Cheng also left the county seat and went home. You're afraid you've been deceived. ”

The boss's words were not polite, after saying that, he turned around and went to work on his own business, Tie Zhu saw that Yue Siliang was choked by this boss, and he was about to have a seizure, but he was dragged by Yue Siliang.

His mind was racing right now, and a sudden thunderclap made his head hurt.

The owner of the tea shed, who has opened a shop here for more than ten years, naturally has no need to lie to himself, but he is sure that "Zhang Yi" is a person who is clearly flesh and blood, and it is impossible for him to hallucinate! And Yue Siliang believes in his own eyes, that day, after the business between him and Zhang Yi collapsed, Yue Siliang did not leave the county with Lei Zi and them directly.

On the contrary, Yue Siliang at that time was suspicious of the other party, he deliberately let Lei Zi hide to monitor Zhang Yi, and finally saw Zhang Yi return to Zhang Ji Grain Store, and instructed the carts back and forth.

That means that the other party is definitely not a liar who steals his identity from the Zhang family, and it can be determined that he is a member of the Zhang family. But the owner of the shop, which was not far from Zhang Ji, said that there was no such person as Zhang Yi. So the question is, who is that "Zhang Yi"? If he wasn't Zhang Yi, why did he use that name again? What exactly is his purpose?!

Yue Siliang felt that his head was about to explode, just as he was about to burst his head. There was a sudden burst of chickens and dogs jumping in my ears, and the voices of people were chaotic. Yue Siliang, who was pulled back to reality, turned his head to look over, his eyes were full of chaos, and the pedestrians on both sides of the road flashed to both sides.

From the other end of the street, there was a neat line of Japanese soldiers. The bright bayonets were held high, and the Japanese plaster flags were blazing in the wind; In the middle of the Japanese soldiers in the procession, there was the roar of three-wheeled motorcycles, on which the spirited commander sat upright; Pressed behind were the other branches of the Japanese army, with all kinds of heavy weapons and individual weapons in their hands.

The Japanese soldiers of the brigade walked with oppressive steps, and the sound of the thick leather soles on the stone pavement sounded like a sledgehammer striking on the atrium of a person's heart, which made people feel intimidating.

As the Japanese army approached, the people on both sides took refuge. Many pedestrians on the street followed and crowded into this small tea shed. Squeezed behind everyone, Yue Siliang did not make a sound, and motioned to the other soldiers to watch quietly and not to move, and at the same time fastened the big felt hat on his head.

The infantry of the brigade walked in front of Yue Siliang, Yue Siliang's heart chuckled for a moment, looking at the appearance of this group of devils, they were by no means simply demonstrating and inspecting the ranks on the streets, they were completely in a state of battle!

"Sudden Sudden Sudden ......"

At this moment, several three-wheeled motorcycles drove past their eyes.

"Huh?!"

Yue Siliang was startled and almost snapped his eyes out. His neck jerked forward, and he let out a scream. But soon he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly took a step back, and pressed the felt hat again.

Although his voice was not loud, it still alarmed a person. An officer sitting on the motorcycle next to the commander's car turned his head curiously to look at it, and when he saw that there was nothing special, he turned back again.

The motorcycle drove away, and the officer left with it. But Yue Siliang's heart was as cold as an ice cellar! Because he clearly saw the officer sitting on the motorcycle just now, it was Zhang Yi who made him think hard and find what he couldn't see!
