Chapter 39: Arrange for an investigation

"Owner of the village, what news did you find out at the bottom of the mountain, is it important?"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wu Yue couldn't help it, and said first. Because it was time to discuss the business from now on, Wu Yue began to call Deng Yueru the lord of the village.

"Oh? What news did the owner of the village find at the foot of the mountain? ”

When Zhang Xin heard Wu Yue's words, he also turned his attention to Deng Yueru. He understood that if it weren't for the big event, Deng Yueru would not be in such a hurry to rush back to the cottage and immediately summon everyone to the meeting hall.

"That's right, when I was down the mountain, I overheard someone talking about how Qin Cha was going to leave Yunzhou Mansion in a few days. I'm afraid that as soon as Qin Cha leaves, Pei Guangyuan's side will continue to arrange manpower to encircle and suppress the cottage, so I want to discuss with you to arrange more scouts to go out to find out the situation, and the construction of the cottage should also be accelerated. ”

After glancing at everyone, Deng Yueru told the news she had heard.

"So soon, is Qin Cha going to leave so soon this time? I remember that in previous years, Qin sent to come to inspect, and he usually had to stay for a month. ”

Xie Jin didn't expect that the stay of the Qincha would be so short this year, although the wall of the cottage has been built, but the personnel training and surrounding mapping, as well as many things have not been arranged, if the government starts to encircle and suppress again, the pressure on the cottage is very great.

"Some time ago, because of the encirclement and suppression of the government, except for the scouts, everyone on the cottage did not dare to go down the mountain at will. The crops have only been planted for a few months now, and there is still some time before they are ripe. If there is a war, we will not have much food in stock, and we will have to go down the mountain to buy food. ”

After thinking for a while, Wu Yue also spoke. The construction and crops around the cottage are all under the management of Wu Yuelai, so he knows better about the situation of the cottage's grain reserves.

"Food is a big deal, no matter what, the cottage can't cut off food. It seems that we must go down the mountain to buy a batch of grain before the Chin Cha leaves. ”

As the saying goes, the grain and grass go first before the soldiers and horses move, and no matter when there is a war, the grain and grass are one of the most important materials. Therefore, after Deng Yueru's other things can be put away, this matter of selling grain must be dealt with.

"Indeed, when Qin Cha is here, I believe that Pei Guangyuan should not dare to make a big move. However, it is still too dangerous to go down the mountain to buy food in large quantities now. If you really can't do it, just break it up and scatter it to the surrounding villages to buy food. ”

When it comes to buying grain, you have to go down the mountain, but if you go to a large county or town to buy grain, it is easy for people to suspect such a large quantity. Xie Shuheng looked at the silent crowd and proposed.

"No, there is not much grain in the surrounding villages, and the sudden appearance of a lot of people buying grain in every village is not even more suspicious."

After thinking about it for a while, Deng Yueru rejected Xie Shuheng's proposal.

"That's a real problem."

Xie Jin scratched his head and sighed helplessly.

"Don't be in a hurry first, third uncle, you immediately arrange for people to go to Qingyun County to inquire about the news, and see when the minister will leave, so we can know how much time we have to prepare."

Seeing that everyone's faces showed anxious expressions, Deng Yueru hurriedly appeased. Now it is useless to be in a hurry, the most important thing is to have prepared news, so that a favorable analysis and arrangement can be made.

"Okay, I'll immediately arrange for the clever scouts to come down the mountain and find out the matter properly."

Xie Jin immediately stood up and prepared to go out to wait in peace. Just as he turned around, Deng Yueru suddenly stopped him.

"Third uncle, wait a minute, I almost forgot an important thing. At the foot of the mountain, I also heard a message that could be useful. ”

"What's the news?"

Xie Jin retracted his leg and looked at Deng Yueru again.

"I heard that there is a Qian family in a town near Qingyun County, and an iron ore vein was found in the mountains and forests of his family, and Pei Guangyuan said that the Qian family sold iron ore to neighboring countries without permission, committed treason, and beheaded dozens of members of the Qian family.

This time, it seems that Pei Guangyuan wants to dig iron ore after Qin Cha leaves, and wants to transport some of the iron ore to his brother in Yunzhou Mansion. I just don't know if this thing is true or not, if it is true, then when he starts mining, it is possible that he will not come to encircle and suppress the cottage for the time being.

Moreover, our cottage is now short of iron ore, if Pei Guangyuan really wants to mine and transport it to Yunzhou Mansion, then our opportunity has come. ”

After telling the news she heard, Deng Yueru smiled at everyone with a little meaning.

"Owner of the village, what do you mean, let's intercept it halfway, snatch all the iron ore of Pei Guangyuan, the dog official, and let him work in vain."

Listening to Deng Yueru's words, Wu Miao immediately understood what she meant, and couldn't help but applaud.

"That's what I meant, so, third uncle, this matter must be investigated by the scouts, the clearer and more detailed, the better."

Nodding towards Wu Miao, Deng Yueru looked at Xie Jin and signaled to him that this matter was very important.

"The owner of the village can rest assured, his subordinates understand. I will arrange for someone to immediately go down the mountain and infiltrate Qingyun County to find out the news. ”

Hugging his fists towards Deng Yueru, Xie Jin hurriedly walked out. The two pieces of news that Deng Yueru inquired about today are very important, and he must arrange people to find out as soon as possible.

"Okay, the specific things are these few things, the rest, the daily training is as usual, and in three days it will be the half-moon period, and then the candidates for the special forces will be screened at the Houshan training ground.

As for the topographic survey around the cottage, Sun Xing and others will set off tomorrow, and I believe that they will be able to return in seven days, and it will take some time to draw the map, but it will be completed in about half a month.

At that time, the special forces had been training for nearly half a month, and if they really started a war with the government, they should be able to try their skills a little. ”

After arranging everything, Deng Yueru discussed with everyone the progress of the matters that everyone was responsible for, and then looked at Xie Shuheng.

"Shuheng, have you picked all the people I asked you to pick?"

"The owner of the village, the candidates have basically been selected, there are about twelve people. Everyone knows how to do something, some can sing small songs, some can tell stories, and some can perform darts, etc. Piece it together, it's a small juggling team, and ordinary people will never see that this is a temporary team. ”

When it came to choosing to pretend to be a juggling team of spies, Xie Shuheng came to the spirit. In order to choose the most suitable candidate, he can be said to be carefully selected and kept improving, and it took a lot of effort to screen out these twelve people.

"Okay, bring them all to me tomorrow, if it's suitable, I'll teach them some tricks, and then I need them to go to Qingyun County to be undercover."

For Xie Shuheng's provocative vision, Deng Yueru still believes in it. After all, when going to Qingyun County to be an undercover agent, the most important thing is to be clever enough, Xie Shuheng is a clever person, and I believe that the person he selected is not bad.
