……

Jiangxia Village.

It is said that it is a village, but in fact, it is only because the economy here is relatively backward.

In fact, Jiangxia Village occupies a large area.

It can't be described as a county seat.

Moreover, because Jiangxia Village is relatively close to Hanzhong County, there are many residents living in Jiangxia Village, which can be said to be the 'granary' for Hanzhong County.

……

The next morning, the sky began to drizzle.

The officers and soldiers of Hanzhong County were instructed to rush to Zanglong Island in the rain and cooperate with the Night Investigation Division to search for the location of the 'Tianshi'.

And Jiang Erlang and the others took advantage of the drizzle to touch Jiangxia Village.

In this process, Mo Ling will also have a general understanding of Jiangxia Village.

According to Mo Ling.

There are about 40,000 people living in this Jiangxia village, but they are relatively widely dispersed, and they basically make a living from farming.

The so-called head of Jiangxia Village is actually not an official appointed by Daqin, but a representative elected by the local government according to the people's popularity.

In addition to the village chief, there are more than a dozen deputy village chiefs and various village leaders in some villages, whose role is mainly to 'plan the distribution of irrigation' and occasionally help the government to urge the payment of rent.

In this day and age, irrigation of farmland is a matter that needs to be fought over.

Because the 'private fighting' was abolished after the establishment of the Great Qin, each region would elect some representatives of the people to discuss how to open up water sources and divert water to irrigate fertile fields.

Jiang Erlang didn't want to 'startle the snake', so after arriving at Jiangxia Village, he only went to Tangkou with Mo Ling.

……

The entrance of the Mo family was built in the backyard of an ancestral hall.

Mo Ling was greeted by a young old man who was about fifty years old.

With a goatee, he looks like a man married to a man.

He was wearing a coarse linen coat, a small cloth bag hanging from his waist, and a hookah stick in his hand, spitting smoke rings one by one.

As soon as he saw Mo Ling dressed in black, the little old man immediately greeted him with a spirit.

"My subordinates have seen the spiritual deputy family master!"

Obviously, Mo Ling had already passed the qi with the little old man in advance.

After hearing the little old man's words, Mo Ling didn't show much enthusiasm, but said lightly: "This is the new Yinqi Jiang Erlang of the Night Investigation Division. ”

"Night Detective Division...... Silver Flag? The little old man looked at Jiang Erlang with some surprise.

Mo Ling could only explain: "The Mo family has decided to cooperate with the Night Investigation Division for the time being, you just tell him what you know, and there is no need to hide it." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The little old man nodded immediately.

Mo Ling did not say anything about cooperating with the imperial court, nor did he explain the 'Ying Confusion and Guarding the Heart'.

However, the little old man also didn't ask any more questions, but immediately introduced to Jiang Erlang: "The little old man is called Wu Dashu, and Jiang Yinqi can call the little old man old Wu." ”

Jiang Erlang nodded and asked, "Since Father Wu is the village chief of this Jiangxia Village, have you seen some 'strangers' enter Jiangxia Village recently. ”

"I've seen it, I've seen it." Wu Dashu glanced at Jiang Erlang in some surprise, obviously a little surprised by Jiang Erlang's 'respect': "A month ago, a few strangers entered Jiangxia Village, saying that they wanted to receive favors in Jiangxia Village before, and wanted to contribute some money to help dig a well. ”

"A month ago, digging a well?" Jiang Erlang's heart moved.

Sure enough, Nanyu had already prepared in advance a month ago!

"Yes, those people also approached me at that time, and they said that they would pay for the well, so of course I would not refuse, so I arranged for them to stay."

"Where to stay?" Jiang Erlang immediately asked.

"I live in the vacant yards of Li Zhuang...... Oh, this Li Zhuang is just southwest of Jiangxia Village, and there are a lot of people who came later......"

"Another batch? How many people? ”

"About a dozen, if you add the first few people, it should be twenty-one in total!"

"Twenty-one?"

Jiang Erlang's brows furrowed slightly.

The number of people in Jiangxia Village in the Southern Regions was even more than he had imagined.

Wu Dashu continued: "These people also really paid for it, and they wanted to dig a well in the village, and there were about 30 villagers to help them. ”

"Where's the well?" Jiang Erlang asked again.

"It's not far from Li Zhuang, otherwise I wouldn't have let them live in Li Zhuang."

"Hmm." Jiang Erlang nodded: "Are these people still living in Li Zhuang now?" ”

"Yes, yes, their wells haven't been dug yet, and they won't go...... Is Jiang Yinqi preparing to arrest them? How do you need us to cooperate? ”

"Don't cooperate for the time being, you tell me one more thing, what happened when Yan Yu of the Investigation Division entered Jiangxia Village a few days ago?"

"Yan Yu? Is Jiang Yinqi talking about the golden flag that brought in the troops? ”

"Yes, that's him!"

"I don't know too much about what happened that day, because after that golden flag entered Jiangxia Village, a group of people followed and didn't let us get closer, and he also sealed the courtyard of 'Liu Dazhuang's house."

"Who is Liu Dazhuang?"

"Liu Dazhuang is a deputy village chief in our Jiangxia Village, and he is the one who led people to help those strangers dig wells." Wu Dashu said.

"I see."

When Jiang Erlang heard this, he probably had some guesses in his heart.

After Yan Yu led the troops into Jiangxia Village, he must have also discovered the existence of those wizards in the Southern Regions, so he sealed the courtyard of Liu Dazhuang.

The purpose should be to find out from Liu Dazhuang's mouth whether the wizard of the Southern Regions has obtained the information of the Heavenly Stone.

Outcome......

Naturally, something happened!

Jiang Erlang thought about what happened, and immediately asked, "Then Liu Dazhuang is still in the village now?" ”

"Huh? Wasn't Liu Dazhuang arrested by your Night Investigation Division? Could it be that Jiang Yinqi doesn't know? When Wu Dashu heard this, his expression was obviously stunned.

"What? You said that Liu Dazhuang was taken away by the people of the Night Investigation Division? ”

"That's right, that Golden Banner of the Night Investigation Division died in Jiangxia Village...... This matter must be investigated, Liu Dazhuang was taken away at that time, and he never came back, and our village is still discussing scraping together some money to bail Liu Dazhuang out of the cell. ”

"!"

Jiang Erlang's back was suddenly cold.

Because, Li Fu didn't tell him about the arrest of Liu Dazhuang at all.

Could it be that Li Fu is hiding something?

But that's not right!

Jiang Erlang frowned and shook his head vigorously.

Li Fu should not be a spy, because, if he was a spy in the Southern Regions, it would be impossible for the matter of the inn and the matter of the mountain temple to be completed smoothly yesterday.

Therefore, the problem should be with the group of night watchmen who followed Yan Yu into Jiangxia Village.

According to Li Fu's account, Yan Yu seemed to have been ambushed after entering Jiangxia Village...... And Li Fu was not in the village at the time, if the spies were mixed up in that group of night watchmen, this matter would be very reasonable! ”

Jiang Erlang continued to deliberate in his heart: "Liu Dazhuang should not have been taken to the night investigation department of Hanzhong County, and it is very likely that he did not leave the village of Jiangxia Village, because Jiangxia Village covers a large area, and it is not very difficult to find a place where there is no one to kill Liu Dazhuang." ”

Well, there are several problems here.

Why did the spies in the Southern Regions take such a big risk to kill Liu Dazhuang?

If it was only Liu Dazhuang who had contact with the wizards of the Southern Regions, there should be no need to do this.

It would be more reasonable to directly hand over Liu Dazhuang to the Night Investigation Division, after all, what can a deputy village chief who drills a well know?

Therefore, Liu Dazhuang should know something.

Wu Dasen also mentioned just now that after Yan Yu entered Jiangxia Village, he sealed Liu Dazhuang's courtyard, if it was just a question? Why did you seal up his yard?

"It seems that there are still some things I don't know about, but it's a pity that Shi Ting is only in charge of the periphery and has not participated in the affairs of Jiangxia Village, and besides, the memories behind Shi Ting are a little broken, and it is estimated that those broken memories are the key points...... Probably the witch god didn't want me to see it? ”

So, does it mean ...... The witch god is also manipulating this behind the scenes? If there are really witch gods involved, this matter is a bit tricky. ”

"Yingfu Shouxin involves the fate of Great Qin, and it is reasonable for the witch god to participate in it, but in this way, the plan I made initially is a little 'shallow'."

Jiang Erlang pondered for a while.

I probably have a re-judgment of the current situation in my heart.

There should be a spy of a wizard from the Southern Regions in the Night Investigation Division.

What happened when I arrived in Jiangxia Village today...... Nine times out of ten, it has reached the ears of the Southern Regions.

It's not a big problem, though!

Jiang Erlang had such a consideration, after all, it was impossible for so many people to pour into Jiangxia Village together, and it was impossible to hide from the forces in the Southern Regions.

His gaze looked at Wu Dashu again: "Since Liu Dazhuang has been taken away by the people of the Night Investigation Division now, who is the new person in charge of digging the well?" ”

"It's Wang Youcai, he was originally one of the people involved in drilling wells, and after Liu Dazhuang was taken away, he was responsible for drilling wells." Wu Dashu replied.

"Where does this king live now?"

"I heard that I moved to live in the courtyard of Li Zhuang and lived with those strangers." After Wu Dashu finished speaking, he added: "Is Jiang Yinqi going to see him?" ”

"Daddy Wu has a way?" Jiang Erlang's eyes lit up.

"Hehe, this Wang Youcai likes to drink very much, and has an affair with a widow Zhang in the village, I heard that although he lives in Li Zhuang at night, he will take some time to go to Widow Zhang's house to drink two glasses at noon." Wu Dashu replied.

"This is the ...... Do many people know? Jiang Erlang was stunned for a moment.

"Many, anyone who has a leg with Widow Zhang knows." Wu Dashu crossed his waist and said, "There are at least twenty people in the village who know about it." ”

"Then how did Daddy Wu know?"

"Ahem!!"

“……”

Jiang Erlang looked at Wu Dashu.

Wu Dashu's old face turned red, and after looking at Mo Ling, he finally said: "This widow is quite watery, and besides, as long as you give some rice and noodles, you can ...... That one...... Therefore, I have only been there once, and I have not been there since, so don't talk about Jiang Yinqi. ”

Mo Ling glanced at Wu Dashu at this time: "According to the Mo family's family rules, you have to gouge out your own eyes!" ”

"The deputy head of the spirit family spares his life!" Wu Dashu knelt down directly.

"Let's make meritorious contributions, Father Wu's information is very useful to me, and the deputy head of the spirit family will spare him this time for the sake of my face, okay?" Jiang Erlang didn't expect the Mo family's family rules to be so strict.

"Okay." Mo Ling nodded: "Don't thank Jiang Yinqi yet?" ”

"Xie Jiang Yinqi, Xie Jiang Yinqi helps the little old man intercede!" Wu Dashu had palpitations: "Little Lao'er is willing to take Jiang Yinqi to the widow's house in person." ”

"Okay, then there will be Lao Wu's father." Jiang Erlang smiled and helped Wu Dashu up.

Wu Dashu naturally thanked him again and again.

Jiang Erlang didn't shirk either, but looked at Mo Ling and said, "Deputy Master Ling, I won't have to do anything to catch Wang Youcai, I can go with Su Qing." ”

"Hmm." Mo Ling nodded.

She has an identity.

Even if he really wants to make a move, it should be to deal with the great wizard of the Southern Regions, a little Wang Youcai, there is really no need for her to worry about it.

……

Out of the backyard of the ancestral hall.

Jiang Erlang called Su Qing.

Now that the action has been exposed, if you go directly to Li Zhuang to arrest people...... It is likely to be ambushed.

Although he will not die, losing his troops is not something he is willing to do.

He decided to arrest Wang Youcai first!

"No matter what Wang You knows, at least after catching him, you can know Li Zhuang's current layout, so that even if you want to attack, you will have a greater certainty."

Jiang Erlang had originally planned to put the time of the attack at night, and the main thing during the day was to collect 'intelligence' and do some preliminary preparations.

When Su Qing saw Jiang Erlang, he immediately asked, "Jiang Yinqi, have you found out anything?" ”

"Well, there's a good chance there's a spy in the Night Detective Division." Jiang Erlang replied.

"Got a spy? Isn't that what we're doing? ”

"It should be exposed, but the other party is still in Li Zhuang, which means that the other party is not afraid of us, or they have a reason to stay here."

"What does Jiang Yinqi mean?"

"Let's go and arrest someone first, and maybe, we can learn something from this person's mouth." Jiang Erlang didn't explain much.

"Good!" Su Qing glanced at Wu Dashu standing next to him and didn't ask much.

Wu Dashu opened his mouth at this time: "You two, please come with me." ”

……

Under the leadership of Wu Dashu.

Jiang Erlang and Su Qing arrived outside Widow Zhang's hospital not long after.

It's almost noon.

After observing outside the courtyard, Wu Dashu said, "Widow Zhang is in the house, and there is no one else in the house, and Wang Youcai has not come over yet. ”

"How do you know?" Su Qing wondered.

"Because, if there is a bunch of corn hanging at the door of Widow Zhang, it means that she is the only one in the house, and if there are two bunches of corn, it means that there are other people in the house." Wu Dashu explained.

Jiang Erlang gave Wu Dashu a big thumbs up...... This thing should have really only come 'once', otherwise, how could it be known so clearly?

Wu Dashu probably saw that Jiang Erlang had guessed something, so he laughed dryly twice: "Actually, I've only been here twice......"

Jiang Erlang smiled and waved his hand: "No need to explain, I just want to know how many widows there are in Jiangxia Village?" ”

"That's a lot, but there are only seventeen or eighteen acquaintances...... Belch! After Wu Dashu subconsciously finished speaking, he immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
