Chapter 10 The Situation of the Enemy

"Lord Huiyu......" The current Che Zhongping, who was in pain all over his body, said with difficulty: "The villain is just the lowest level of the gang in the Dragon Slaying Gang, and he doesn't know a lot of things, and the big people in the gang don't know either. On the Henan side, the leader is our helmsman Wang Qilong, who is also known as Xiao Yuanwai. He has two deputies under him, one is Zhang Tianshi, his real name and surname, I don't know, everyone calls him that, and I call him that. The other is Cao Ge, who was transferred here two years ago, and is responsible for leading the gang to disguise themselves as robbers and block the road to rob. This time, the helmsman was in Xiaojiatun to help the victims, and his purpose was to deceive people, recruit these people for their own use, attack the city, and then rise up, so as to provoke the Yellow River to rebel. ”

Yue Su saw that what he said was true, and thought that it was all the truth, padded the two tin waist cards in his hand, and said: "The tin card should be the lowest level in your Dragon Slaying Gang, on top of this, I have also seen the iron card, I don't know what style of brand is on it?" What level does this brand represent, what position? ”

"Lord Hui, the tin card is indeed the lowest level, we are ordinary gangs, and when we reach the iron level, we are the core gangs, and many of them have functions. Further up is the bronze medal, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I heard from other gangsters that Zhang Tianshi and Cao Ge are both bronze medals, which is equivalent to the function of the deputy helmsman. If it goes up, it may be a silver medal, and the big guys have never seen it, but they just guess that the brand of the king helm should be. If you go any further, it's really not clear. Che Zhongping replied honestly.

For this answer, Yue Su was still sure in his heart, nodded, and said: "Your Dragon Slaying Gang's lair in Henan, apart from Xiaojiatun, where else is there?" ”

"All prefectures and counties have a place to stay, and our stronghold of the rudder was originally in Tieliuzhuang outside Kaifeng City, and it was only in order to seize Huaiqing City that we temporarily moved to Xiaojiatun." Che Zhongping replied.

"Where are the places where the prefectures and counties are located, and they are recruited quickly and truthfully." Yue Su said.

"My lord, these locations are relatively secret, and not everyone in the gang can know about them. When we went to Xiaojiatun this time, we stopped in Wen County and Wuzhi County. I stayed at the Frequent Inn and the old Sun family store in the city, and these two inns were the business of our gang. As for where to stay elsewhere, I don't know. Sun Wuer, Zhang Hui, and Fan Meng may know a few other locations. ”

Zhang Hui and Fan Meng are the other two minions who came with him.

Yue Su nodded slightly, and said, "How many people do you have in Xiaojiatun, how many people came to Huaiqing City with the victims this time, and who led the team?" ”

"We have a total of 300 people in Xiaojiatun, and we have all come to the east gate with the helmsman. Some of the disguised city victims mixed in the crowd, helping to shout and heckle, and some followed the helmsman. ”

"Three hundred! Can you be sure? Yue Su's voice raised.

"Yes." Cha Zhongping said affirmatively.

"That's good. Your confession will be verified by three other people, and if there is any inaccuracy in it, you will be torn into pieces. If what you say is true, the ministry will give you a way out of the law. ”

"Thank you, sir."

"Take him down and keep him under strict guard. Bring in the Sun Wuer just now. ”

"Yes!" The messenger received the order, escorted Che Zhongping out, and soon brought Sun Wuer to the city tower.

Yue Su glanced at him and said bluntly: "Che Zhongping has already recruited, what about you?" If you still insist on not recruiting, I have a new criminal law here, so you can enjoy it slowly! ”

At this time, Sun Wuer also knew that whether he recruited or not, it was useless, anyway, Che Zhongping had already said it. The only difference is that if you don't recruit it, you will be tortured endlessly.

Sun Wuer didn't insist now, and immediately took the initiative to explain, telling Yue Su everything he knew. His confession is basically consistent with Che Zhongping's confession, the only difference is that he knows a foothold more than Che Zhongping. This foothold is a mule and horse shop outside Luoyang City, which sells and leases mules and horses on the surface, but is actually the contact point of the Dragon Slaying Gang.

With a new breakthrough, Yue Su was even more happy, and after taking him down, he interrogated the other two one by one. This time, Yue Su didn't bother to interrogate Sun Wuer and Che Zhongping like he did at the beginning. As soon as he entered the door, he ordered a direct body search, named the identity of the other party, and asked them to confess. If there is a quibble, start fighting immediately. Under the heavy punishment, these two dared not admit and confessed everything they knew. The confessions of the two of them were basically the same as the first two, but Yue Su knew more about the den of the Dragon Slaying Gang.

Yue Su asked the messenger to take the four of them back to the government and put them in prison, and they were strictly guarded. Then he looked at Meng Huade and Guo Yigang, who were sitting with their hands in their hands.

"My lords, now that the details of the anti-thieves have been figured out, what do you two think should be?"

Meng Huade still replied as before: "It's all up to your lordship's orders." ”

Guo Yigang seemed to have heard that there were only 300 real traitors, and his courage doubled, and he immediately said, "My lord, the last general thinks that he should immediately send troops out of the city and wipe out those rebels!" ”

Yue Su smiled faintly, and said secretly in his heart: "The Ming Dynasty is all such officials, if the country does not die, it will be strange." Thinking so in his heart, he still held the two tin cards in his hand, and his face was not moving.

"Now the thieves and the victims are mixed together, and once the troops are sent to encircle and suppress them, it will definitely cause panic. The thief takes the opportunity to bewitch him, and it is likely to cause a great change, and then it will be out of control. I think it's better to wait and see. We have to be patient with the thieves now, as long as they don't leave, we won't move, as long as they leave the victims, we will capture them. ”

After listening to Yue Su's instructions, Meng Huade and Guo Yigang immediately gave up their hands and said, "Your Excellency is wise. ”

Yue Su just ignored their flattery, and said, "Lord Guo, you will send someone to close the northern city now." A notice was posted at the gate of the city, saying only that the city was overcrowded and that the city was temporarily closed and no further entry was allowed. ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Guo Yigang asked puzzled.

"As long as the city gate is closed, the thieves outside will not suspect that we have caught the fine work they sent, but they will not be able to get out of the city gate. That way, you won't be too vigilant. Yue Su said truthfully.

"Your Excellency is wise...... the two adults shouted again.

"The last general obeys, and then he sends someone to close the north gate." Guo Yigang got up and said.

"Wait a minute." Yue Su said suddenly: "Cao Yu, you now send a few people to replace Jin Chan and Li Zhong, and let them come here to see me quickly." ”

Jin Chan and Li Zhong have been ordered to supervise Mi Xing, and this time Yue Su urgently used the two, so he asked Cao Yu to send a dart master to exchange the two back. Cao Yu acted immediately, and without much effort, Jin Chan and Li Zhong came to the city tower.

Come in and ask Yue Su for peace first, Yue Su waved his hand and said: "Jin Chan, Li Zhong, among us people, only the two of you have seen the appearance of that Xiao Yuanwai, so there is an important matter in the headquarters and the two of you want to order the two of you to do it." ”

"At your command." The two of them clenched their fists and said.

"The two of you immediately disguise yourself as the victims of the city, go out from the north gate, go to the east gate, and blend in with the ranks of the victims. Then go to find Xiao Yuan's whereabouts, and once you find them, you should keep an eye on them carefully. If they don't move, you won't move, but if they move, you will come back at once. I estimate that they may return to Xiaojiatun tonight to rest, and as soon as they are gone, they will come back immediately. Yue Su commanded.

"Subordinates receive orders."

Then, Yue Su said: "Lord Guo, let the people at the north gate remember their appearance, and when they see the two of them coming back, they should immediately open the city gate and let them go." ”

"The last will understand."

Everything was ordered, Jin Chan, Li Zhong and Guo Yigang acted immediately, and Lord Guo personally ran to the north gate, so that Mr. Qian, who was guarding the city, would firmly remember the appearance of the two, as long as Jin Chan and Li Zhong came back, they should open the door immediately, and they would never be slack.

Mr. Qian only agreed, and Jin Chan and Li Zhong went out of the city from the north gate at the moment, and according to Yue Su's wishes, they rushed to the east gate and blended in with the refugees.

There are as many as 20,000 refugees, and it couldn't be easier to get in. There are many people and there are many advantages, but there are also disadvantages, that is, it is too difficult to find someone, like looking for a needle in a haystack. The two of them searched for more than an hour, and only then did they find the shadow of "Xiao Yuanwai" and others.

As Yue Su expected, after Sun Wuer and the others entered the city for nearly an hour, "Xiao Yuanwai" became anxious, worried that something would happen, so he sent someone to inquire. When the minions arrived at the north gate, they found that the gate was closed, and a notice was posted on the city wall.

After reading the notice, the minions could only go back to report it.

"Xiao Yuanwai" got the news, and his hanging heart was barely put down. But now that the gates of Huaiqing City are closed, you can't expect these defenseless victims to forcibly attack the city.

Zhang Tianshi didn't have any good ideas, and when it was dusk, the porridge factory gave porridge to the people again, and the stomachs of "Xiao Yuanwai" and others also growled.

Today I thought I could succeed in the incident, so I brought some dry food, and I paid attention to eating at noon, but now I don't eat and drink, and the big guy can't be like those bitter haha, go to get porridge and eat it. "Xiao Yuanwai" is also a dragon head, although it is said that he is doing the work of licking blood on the knife edge, but he has to eat and drink. Now I haven't been forced to the point of not having food, and I really can't afford to stay here and suffer.

"Let's go! The big guy goes back to eat, leave some people to inquire about the situation, and if there is anything abnormal, come back immediately to report! ”

"Xiao Yuanwai" finally couldn't stand it anymore, threw down this sentence, turned around and left. Zhang Tianshi asked the minions who were originally mixed in the pile of victims to stay, go to get porridge, and spend the night here. A group of nurses followed the helmsman back to Xiaojiatun.

Seeing "Xiao Yuanwai", Zhang Tianshi and others turn around and leave, Jin Chan and Li Zhong knew that the opportunity had come, and immediately returned to the city and reported the situation to Yue Su.

Yue Su would never let go of this kind of opportunity. immediately ordered Guo Yigang to mobilize people and horses, set off on the second watch tonight, and went straight to Xiaojiatun.
