Chapter 4: Yak Town, Deep in the Prairie
Knowing that he knew that he was invincible, the scouts were scattered, and before he got the exact information, Ximen Jian did not move
In the evening, Ximen Jian sat in the tent of the head of the regiment, sat in the candle and worked overnight, and then the investigators sent out came back one after another, basically figuring out the ins and outs of the matter
It turned out that after the beginning of autumn, in order to solve the problem of horse fodder for cavalry divisions, the Kwantung Army sent a battalion of troops to the territory of King Gesar in Inner Mongolia to negotiate the price of foreign grass, hire a large number of laborers, and beat a lot of foreign grass
Half a month ago, the little devil forced the migrant workers to beat the grass for them and dry it for a few days, and then bundled and loaded a total of 500 wagons, and under the protection of a cavalry battalion of 360 people from the little devil, they set off from the alkali grass pasture through Yak Town to a forage field at the Kwantung Army headquarters
When 500 wagons walked out of Yakniu Town 80 miles, they suddenly encountered a large group of unidentified armed sneak attack, it is said that the armed personnel are about 1,000 people, and all of them are strong in martial arts, after a desperate struggle, the cavalry battalion of the little devils is outnumbered, and all of them are killed
Those big wagons pulling grass were all little devils, with the help of traitor guides, temporarily hired among the local residents, and each big carriage had a car owner, who had already been frightened when he saw the battle, but fortunately, the armed men did not kill them, nor did they use them to drive the carts, as for where the carriages were going, it is not clear for the time being
Later, King Gesar received the report that the grass had been robbed, and sent a fast horse to report the case to Heijiliao Province, and then King Gesar disappeared, and he must have been worried that the little devil would trouble him and take refuge......
"Oh......" Ximen Jian didn't say anything after listening to the report
He felt that the matter was very complicated, let everyone rest, and continue to investigate the whereabouts of the robbed grass tomorrow, and decided to go out to Yakniu Town himself
So early the next morning, Ximen Jian took his adjutant Xiaohuzi to change into the clothes of the local people in accordance with the battle plan studied in Longtou Mountain and Zhan Dongyang, pretending to be the son and brother of a wealthy family in the provincial capital, and walked into Yakniu Town
Yakniu Town is located in the southeast of the Hulunbuir Grassland, the junction of Mongolia and Han, the traffic extends in all directions, the street vendors and shops in Xinglong Town are numerous, people come and go, people wear all kinds of clothes come and go, there are many yurts and Mongolian buildings, showing the style of Mongolians
Wearing a set of elegant suits and jackets, and a high-necked black windbreaker, Ximen Jian walked into the Yak Town Inn in a dashing manner with a fan in his hand, and Xiaohuzi pretended to be a follower and followed behind
The innkeeper is a middle-aged Mongolian woman with charm, as soon as she saw Ximen Jian's dress, temperament and demeanor, she knew that she must be a rich son, and she hurriedly walked out of the counter and walked in front of Ximen Jian, and asked crisply: "Oh, Mr. Yo is here to eat and stay in the hotel."
Ximen Jian pretended not to hear, and with a handsome square face flickering with big eyes, he looked around reservedly, in fact, the peripheral eyes of his eyes had already observed the expression of the innkeeper and the every move of the people in the entire hall
Xiaohuzi said: "This is the young son of Rongfa Pharmacy in Heijiliao Province, Dongfang Bai, does he have a first-class private room?"
"Yes, yes, yes......" The proprietress smiled with a smile on her face, looked at Ximen Jian, who was dressed well and elegant and elegant young master, and said familiarly: "It turned out to be the white prince of the East, it is really a rare guest from afar, Xiao Erma is cleaning a private room, and the distinguished guest is here."
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting in the private room: "The proprietress and the villain have already cleaned it clean, and the newly changed satin futon is for the guests to come over."
Ximen Jian and Xiaohuzi walked in
After the two of them finished washing, the proprietress walked over again, flashed a pair of big eyes, and asked: "Dongfang Gongzi, our inn also also serves wine and food, what do you want to eat, just order: Mongolian-style mutton shabu, shabu shabu, roast whole lamb, roast pheasant, Manhan whole banquet, roast dog steak, roast duck, pork stewed vermicelli, ......"
"Oh, you're a tongue twister for the name of the dish," Xiaohuzi asked
The proprietress laughed and was about to continue to report the name of the dish, but was interrupted by Ximenjian and said: "Boss, you don't care what kind of dishes you have, as long as it is delicious and delicious, choose eight meat and eight vegetarian dishes, and make it ......."
"Okay, okay Dongfang boy, please ...... later" The proprietress was frightened when she heard Ximen Jian's words, and she stuck out her tongue in fright, thinking to herself, this son, brother is really rich, and he is generous
She took a three-inch golden lotus and was just about to withdraw, turned around and glanced at Ximen Jian, and smiled charmingly: "Dongfang Gongzi, you still don't have any wine, what do you want to drink, we have milk wine, rice wine, barley wine, grassland liquor, rice wine, wine ......."
"Hahahaha...... Ximen Jian smiled and thought for a while: "This...... This is the junction of Mongolia and Han, you have to drink something with local characteristics, come to a catty grassland white bar"
"Alright," the proprietress said cheerfully and walked out
After Ximen Jian and Xiaohuzi were full of wine and food, they walked onto the streets of Yakniu Town
First, the two of them are new to the city, and they don't know the terroir here, so they want to take a walk and get familiar with the topography of the town
Second, I want to learn from the investigation methods and methods of the 21st century special police visits and investigations, trying to find any clues and try my luck
But the two of them walked from the east end of the town to the west and from the south street to the north street, but they did not encounter any luck, and returned to the inn to rest for a while, and when it was time for supper, they went into the inn restaurant
At noon, Ximen Jian and Xiaohuzi ate in the guest room
In the evening, I want to try my luck at the restaurant
Simon walked in with a square step and swaggered, shaking a fan in one hand, and Xiaohuzi followed behind
Entering the hall of the restaurant, Ximen Jian noticed with the peripheral vision of his eyes that a large round table near the south window was crowded with a group of people guessing the boxing order
It was dog days, and the weather in this yak town deep in the prairie was unusually hot
Ximen Jian saw that those rough men were very irregular around the round table, some were standing, some were sitting crookedly, and some were stepping on a stool, and some were open-chested, open-bodied, bare-shouldered, etc., and all kinds of wild postures were full of vulgarity, wildness, and powderiness......
Ximen Jian glanced at them and guessed their identities, so he sat down at a small free table not far away
"Hehe......" The proprietress had already recognized Simon running over and asked with a smile: "Mr. Dongfang, what do you use at night?"
Ximen Jian was about to answer the proprietress when he suddenly noticed that some of the men at the big round table were peeking at him......
