The business of the small restaurant is indeed good, Shi Lei didn't finish a bowl of chaos, and two passers-by who drank tea came.

From the direction of the county seat, several soldiers wearing blue army uniforms and carrying rifles walked over. Shi Lei picked up the bowl and ate the last chaos into his mouth, "Boss checkout!" He stood up and took out two bills and handed them to the proprietress and walked out of the shed with his hat on.

"Looking for your money." The proprietress caught up and handed over a few pieces of change, "Let's go!" Next time! With a wave of his hand, Shi Lei walked along the avenue.

"Boss, your buns are so fragrant, we will definitely come back to eat them next time!" The young scout laughed with the proprietress and quickly followed the head of the regiment.

"Hey, the boss, these people have never seen each other, how did they know that our family is selling steamed buns chaos as soon as they came?" Regarding Shi Lei's behavior of ordering all the main meals of the small restaurant before entering the door, the proprietress still feels strange.

"It's clear what is written on our signboard, but people can't look at it with their eyes?"

The small restaurant has written all the varieties of food it operates on the edge of the shed, and although the handwriting is a little peeled, it can still be made out when you look closely.

"yes, look at my brain!" The proprietress laughed self-deprecatingly, "However, the little shopkeeper's eyes are sharp enough, and he can recognize the words on it at once." ”

"It's kind of weird. This person is not sure who is good at what, that little man has bright eyes, and he is a fine person at first glance. These people will definitely make money by going into the city to do business! The restaurant owner was more impressed by Shi Lei's eyes.

"It's better that they come to our house for dinner after they make money."

"That's a good idea!" The boss smiled, glanced at the backs of those people, and turned to go down the chaos again.

There were a few soldiers of the New Fifth Army standing at the gate of the city, but they did not search and check pedestrians, but only smoked and chatted there with guns on their backs. Shi Lei and the five of them entered the city, and the soldiers guarding the city gate glanced at a few people, and one of them asked with a second lieutenant badge: "What are you doing?" ”

"Go into the city and buy groceries." Shi Lei replied with a smile, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, and gave one to one of these soldiers.

"Well, let's go, let's go, hurry up and enter the city, don't stand in the way of the city gate here." The second lieutenant took the cigarette and waved his other hand to clear it.

Shi Lei nodded and walked towards the city with people, and just walked out three steps, the second lieutenant called him again, "Hey, you wait first!" Shi Lei's body stiffened, and the faces of several soldiers with him also changed. Discovered?

"I'll tell you a few people, don't go to the guest house in the city, if you want to stay, you can find a hotel or hotel, or find anyone to stay at, the guest house is not a place for you to go!" After explaining these words, the second lieutenant waved impatiently and motioned for the men to hurry up.

"Oops, thank you, thank you." Shi Lei took the hat in his hand and nodded his head in thanks, took two steps back, turned around and entered the city.

The streets of the county town are not wide, and there are not too many pedestrians on the streets, but there are many soldiers. Groups of soldiers of the New Fifth Army wandered around the city, coming and going from various shops. From time to time, I saw the junior second in the store and the shopkeeper smiling and sending these military masters out. It can be seen that the relations between the military and the people of the New Fifth Army in Shanggao County are not bad, and at least they have not seen the phenomena of forced buying and selling, and robbing men and dominating women.

And the smiles on the faces of the shopkeepers and guys of these shops are by no means all flattery, and most of them are still because of the joy of making money from business. The New Fifth Army stationed in Shanggao County should have brought a certain revitalization to the economy of this small city.

Walking along the street, I crossed an intersection, and there were four soldiers of the New Fifth Army standing guard at the door of a restaurant-like restaurant, and a sign was hung at the door, on which was written in black on a white background: "Guest House of the New Fifth Army of the National Revolutionary Army."

Shi Lei looked left and right, glanced at the black-faced investigator beside him, and the two of them walked straight to the guest house with the sign.

There were still more than ten meters away, and among the four gatekeepers at the door, the two guards stood on the outside and grabbed it horizontally, "Stop!" Don't go any further! What do you do? ”

Shi Lei's body trembled, looking frightened, "Boss, boss, don't shoot!" We went into the city to do business. As he spoke, he stepped back several steps in a row, "Isn't this a place for you to stay?" I would like to stay overnight. I've got money! In order to emphasize that he brought accommodation expenses, Shi Lei also took out two banknotes from his waist.

"Rich? If you have money, you can live? The soldier on the left put up his gun and lifted it to the ground, glaring at Shi Lei, "Didn't tell you where the city gate was?" Can't stay in a guest house in the city! The people who live here are all military and political dignitaries of the national government, and they are used to receive senior officials of the military government! What kind of official are you? Dare to come to the guest house? There are a few bad money that can't be spent, right? If you can't spend it for me, my brother will spend it for you! After this one finished speaking, the three soldiers next to him laughed and coaxed, "Yes! If you can't spend it, a few brothers will help you spend it! ”

Shi Lei hurriedly put the banknotes into his purse, covered his waist with his hand, laughed twice and turned around and ran, and the gatekeepers laughed even louder.

"You see, right? This is an official guest house for military and political officials, and does not accept outsiders! Turning the corner of the street and leaving the sight of the gatekeepers, Shi Lei explained to a few soldiers the reason why the guest house just now did not let him in. Let's go and ask the other groups about the situation. ”

The commander of the reconnaissance regiment personally led a team to reconnoiter a county town, and of course it was impossible for just the five of them. This time, there were not 300 scouts of the 500 army who infiltrated Shanggao City, but 208. These people are divided into small groups, scattered in all corners of the city and outside the city, and carefully investigate the inside and outside of the county, Shi Lei has already figured out the secret of the guest house, and he now wants to listen to the discoveries of other groups.

found a clean teahouse and asked for a private room, Shi Lei told the boss that he had something to discuss with the customer, and asked the boss not to let other guests come over to disturb him, and gave the boss a piece of ocean as a private room usage fee.

The owner of the teahouse nodded happily, just his teahouse is in the back alley, the business has always been light, there are few customers every day, these people who came today can be said to be high rollers! Not only did I have tea and snacks, but I also chartered a private room and paid the private room fee! In fact, how can he have any private rooms in this small teahouse? The private room that Shi Lei asked for was still inspired by the boss and contributed his locker room, lounge, account room, and tea storage room. This time he earned an extra piece of ocean, which is worth two days of his operating income! Originally, the boss was going to transfer the teahouse out in the past few days to do something else, but as soon as Shi Lei came, the boss was confident and made up his mind to do it again!

He left a secret message outside the teahouse, and sent two scouts to look all over the city, and in a short time someone came.
