After the examination, Taiyuan Fuxue will spend five days to mark the papers, and then select 100 outstanding candidates for interviews by the Intelligence Department, and finally determine the list of 10 people to be admitted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Intelligence Division was in dire need of manpower, it was not in a hurry and had to wait patiently or start elsewhere.

Unlike the preparation period of several months, Li Yanqing's preparation for the establishment of the Intelligence Department was only a short period of ten days, and he also had to serve as the record secretary of the Military Affairs Department to join the army, but the master also understood his difficulties, and specially arranged for him to be an assistant to sort out the documents for Li Yanqing, which greatly reduced Li Yanqing's pressure.

Even if it's only ten days, there are still many things that can't wait, and you have to start working on them first.

In the evening, in the big tent of the Intelligence Division, Li Yanqing hung up a map of Hedong Prefecture, Wang Gui, Luo Ping and Wu Xianliang, who joined the army, were sitting, Li Yanqing pointed to the red dots on the map and said to everyone: "The ten red dots marked on the map are the ten intelligence points of the previous Xixia Xizuo on Hedong Road, four have been eliminated, and six have escaped by them, judging from common sense, they should still be in Hedong, but they have changed places, our first task is to dig out these six Xixia intelligence points and completely destroy them, The marshal hopes that we can start investigating as soon as possible. ”

Wu Xianliang said in a low voice: "But you have to have clues, otherwise you will be looking for a needle in a haystack." ”

"There's a clue."

Li Yanqing took out a booklet, "This is the complete list of Xixia shops compiled by Zhao Yuan, who joined the army before, there are a total of eighty-four on Hedong Road, although Zhao Yuan has been executed, but before the execution, he confessed some secrets to me, thirty-three of the eighty-four Xixia stores are related to the Xixia military, Zhao Yuan has already given me the list, because the previous ten intelligence points are among them, so our scope will be narrowed to twenty-three, that is to say, at least half of these twenty-three stores will become new intelligence points." ”

Wang Gui said on the side: "Then just take them out of the pot." ”

Luo Ping and Wu Xianliang shook their heads together, "This range is too big, and it's easy to startle the snake." ”

"We have five hundred soldiers, twenty of us are a family, and we have agreed to act at the same time, anyway, we are from Western Xia! Even if you get caught wrong, you won't be wronged. Wang Gui insisted on his own opinion.

Li Yanqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Wang Dutou's method is not impossible, the key is to have results, I thought about it again and again, and formulated a plan, let's discuss it." ”

Li Yanqing hung up the list of twenty-three stores again, and said to the three people: "This is a list of twenty-three stores, involving a total of five state capitals and twelve counties, we can pick two of them to observe secretly, if there is indeed a suspicion of intelligence points, then we will arrest them at the same time according to Wang Dutou's plan." ”

Luo Ping said: "I don't know which two shops the commander chooses?" ”

"I consider a Sifang restaurant in Lishi County, Shizhou, and a Shungan pharmacy in Loufan County, Lanzhou, and choose these two for secret observation, and there are only seventy percent of the suspicions, so it means that this list is credible, and a comprehensive arrest operation can be deployed."

Wang Gui and Luo Ping quickly divided the work, Wang Gui was in charge of the Sifang Restaurant, and when Luo Ping and Wu Xianliang left, Wang Gui asked Li Yanqing embarrassedly: "I don't have enough experience in this kind of thing, you talk about it, how to observe whether the other party is an intelligence point?" ”

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "You observe the restaurant guys, see if they are all physically strong, see if their palms are covered with calluses, generally bartenders are dressed up by soldiers, it is not surprising that a person is like this, but most bartenders are like this, it is very likely to be an intelligence point; The second is to have a tool to transmit information, generally carrier pigeons or eagles, there are two possibilities in this regard, one is located in the backyard, and the other is located outside the city, you can send people to follow the people sent out of the city by the restaurant, such as buying vegetables or something else, as long as they find that they have carrier pigeons or eagle houses, then this restaurant is the intelligence point nine times out of ten. ”

Wang Gui nodded again and again, "I understand, I will personally lead my brother to Lishi County early tomorrow morning." ”

Li Yanqing instructed him again, "Don't bring too many subordinates, two or three people are enough, and you have to remember that even if you find conclusive evidence, you can't arrest people, so as not to startle the snake!" ”

"Don't worry! I waited for a pot to be served. ”

..........

Located between the Jinning Army and Taiyuan Province in the border prefecture, Shizhou is an important buffer zone for Taiyuan Province, and once war breaks out, it will also become a logistics center, and its strategic location is very important.

Lishi County is in the middle of Shizhou and is the location of Shizhou Prefecture, but in terms of the size and population of the county, it can only be regarded as a medium-sized city at most, which is similar in size to Tangyin County.

There is also a commercial street in the county, a mile-long street is concentrated with dozens of shops, brothels, restaurants and inns, the Sifang Restaurant can only be regarded as medium among the five restaurants, it is no different from other restaurants, if it is not for Li Yanqing to get the list of Xixia stores, no one would have thought that this shop was opened by the Xixia people, the restaurant shopkeeper, the bartender, the kitchen worker a total of more than 20 people, there is no shadow of a party person, all of them are Xixia Han people.

Some of them are the descendants of slaves who were captured, and some are descendants of Han people in occupied areas, although they have the faces of Han people, their hearts have belonged to the Western Xia, and they consider themselves to be the Tanguts, not the Song people.

However, there is no such problem in the Sifang Restaurant, the bartender greets warmly, the food tastes authentic, and the price is cheap, which makes the restaurant business very prosperous.

At noon that day, a young rich boy appeared in front of the restaurant, this rich boy was of course Wang Gui's dress, he was wearing an elegant lake silk purple shirt, holding a folding fan, wearing a gauze hat, and his face was wrapped in a thin layer of powder, looking like a rich man who came from afar to study, followed by two subordinates who were also dressed as family members, carrying a bookcase on his shoulder.

"Officials are welcome to dine at the restaurant!" The bartender greeted him warmly.

Wang Gui spoke with a thick Xiangzhou accent and asked, "Do you have any seats on the second floor here?" ”

"The second floor is gone, the officials might as well sit on the first floor, in fact, the first floor is cooler."

"I'm going to be cool!"

Wang Gui wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Then the first floor!" ”

"Great! Official, please. ”

The bartender invited Wang Gui into the first floor, found him a single table to sit down, and the two family members put down their bookcases and sat down with them.

"Listening to the official's accent, it doesn't seem to be from Hedong Dao?"

"Huh! I am from Xiangzhou, come to you to find a friend, and go to Taiyuan Mansion to study tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

"No wonder! It sounds like the accent of Hebei, I don't know what the officials want to eat? ”

"A few plates of big fish and meat, and two pots of good wine! Specifically, if you look at it yourself, it will cost about five taels of silver. ”

"Official, wait, come soon!"

The bartender turned around, Wang Gui's eyes were very poisonous, he saw that the bartender's arms were strong and powerful, his hands were full of calluses, and his steps were vigorous, and he looked like a person who practiced martial arts, but remembering Lao Li's repeated instructions, he still decided to continue to observe patiently.

"All heads.... No! No! It's an official. ”

A soldier whispered to Wang Gui: "That shopkeeper has a fierce face and a cross-haired face, and no proprietor will hire such a person as a shopkeeper." ”

Wang Gui also saw that a man in his thirties standing at the counter at the gate was indeed full of fierce faces.

"Sit down for a while, I'll go to the latrine!"

Wang Gui got up and walked to the courtyard, the toilet is generally in the atrium, Wang Gui walked into the courtyard and quickly observed, he found that there was a small door in the back, and there were several buildings inside, at least half of the land of this restaurant was not used to make money, which was absolutely incredible for the general restaurant, and it could only show that this restaurant had another role.

The backyard wall was very high, and he couldn't see the situation in the yard for a while, at this time, he suddenly found a very small dead mouse soaking in the atrium pool, Wang Gui rolled his eyes, quickly scooped up the dead mouse and walked back to the lobby.

At this time, the wine and food had already come up, Wang Gui drank two glasses of wine, suddenly slapped the table, pointed to a pot of braised pork and roared: "What is in this?" ”

All eyes in the lobby are looking at this place.

Wang Gui's roar alarmed the shopkeeper and several bartenders, who walked forward quickly and immediately saw a stunned scene, there was actually a dead mouse in a pot of braised pork, and his body had been stained red with sauce.

The diners gathered around and yelled in disgust, scolding the restaurant for being filthy and unscrupulous.

Wang Gui roared angrily: "I have already eaten a few pieces of meat, you must give me an explanation?" ”

The shopkeeper picked up the rat's tail and looked at it for a moment, and suddenly glared at Wang Gui viciously, "This rat is not cooked at all, and there are rat hairs, which you picked up from the outside." ”

The bartenders were furious, and seven or eight men rolled up their sleeves, ready to beat up the villain.

Wang Gui shouted: "Nonsense, do you want to frame me and blackmail you? You bully foreigners, I want to sue the official, I want to sue the official! ”

The shopkeeper suddenly calmed down, waved his hand to tell the bartenders not to mess around, and he said coldly to Wang Gui: "You go!" I don't want you to pay for this drink. ”

"No! I'm disgusted, you have to lose money. ”

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes, stared at Wang Gui with murderous eyes for a long time, turned to a bartender and said, "Go and get five taels of silver!" ”

The bartender was full of anger and took out five taels of silver, slapped it on the table, and the shopkeeper said coldly to Wang Gui: "Take these five taels of silver!" ”

Wang Gui picked up five taels of silver and checked it, and said triumphantly: "Count you lucky, the county lieutenant is my uncle, you dare to do it, I will let you go around without eating." ”

He waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”

He took two of his subordinates to carry the bookcase and walked away, and the shopkeeper said to everyone: "This person is a food bully who specializes in causing trouble, the small shop is small and profitable, and he can't afford to offend this kind of person, please believe that the small shop has been open for 20 years, and he will never do such a black thing." ”

The drinkers all understood that the rat was raw, indicating that it was indeed not the stuff in the braised pork, and these three people were very likely to be the food tyrants that the shopkeeper said, and they actually moved out of the county lieutenant to oppress people, which was really disgraceful, and everyone sat down one after another to continue drinking.

The shopkeeper asked the bartender to clean up the wine and food with a black face, his face was murderous, if he wasn't afraid that the government would come to the door, he would have to slaughter this bastard, and he would have hit the autumn wind on his head.
