Poor Family Chapter 728

  Chapter 728 The Second Front (Part 2)

Zhang Hu rushed to Taixue to understand the ins and outs of the matter. Several spies he sent found the whereabouts of the carrier pigeon with a reward of fifty pennies. Taixue has its own private courtyard, and the rent has been paid for several years. This student fled to the south. Wanting to get back some capital, he sublet the residence. As long as the price is high, he doesn't care who he rents to.

  There is more than one Taixue student who rents out a house with this mentality, so there is a mixed bag of good and bad people in Taixue, and there are everyone.

  The spies have already found out a little bit, and there are at least 30 people living in a single courtyard of the Tai student.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Taixue, Zhang Hu's footsteps stopped suddenly, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong. The 30 people crowded together were definitely not a spy for intelligence, but should be the enemy's elite army, who were preparing to cooperate with gold soldiers from inside and outside. Siege, but thirty people is obviously a little less, at least one hundred people are enough.

  Obviously this is only one of the residences, there should be two or three other residences. If you take it here, will it scare the enemy away and scare away the enemies in the other residences.

   But this is just his guess. What if the other party really only has 30 people and he hesitates to arrest them, but what if they run away instead?

  For a while, Zhang Hu was in a dilemma. At this moment, one of his subordinates said in a low voice: "Hukou, they must eat and drink! Why don't you make a fuss about diet."

   Zhang Hu had a thought, this is a good idea, now it's almost time to eat, these guys must order food from outside, they won't go out to eat,

  Thinking of this, Zhang Hu immediately sent someone to inquire, and after a short while, he got the news that these people ordered meals in Taixue, and each time they ordered 35 meals, someone would deliver them to them.

Zhang Hu took out a pack of white medicinal powder from a small wooden box and handed it to his subordinates. This medicinal powder is a kind of anesthetic, colorless and odorless, and can be put in vegetables or soups. Can't move.

Zhang Hu and other soldiers did not enter the Taixue, but waited patiently outside the Taixue, but more than 20 scouts dressed as Taixue students have already entered to monitor the courtyard. Another task of them is to prevent people who have not eaten People fled.

   Less than a quarter of an hour later, the guarding soldiers reported that someone had fallen in the yard. Zhang Hu waved his hand and led dozens of soldiers to rush in.

   At this time, it was already dark, the night was cold, and there was no one in the Taixue. Zhang Hu led his army through a small path through a bamboo forest, and came to the back door of the courtyard.

   This is the courtyard on the far side. It is close to the east wall of Taixue. You can escape from Taixue by climbing over the wall. It is surrounded by big trees. It is indeed a relatively secluded residence. No wonder the enemy Xiaozuo chose this place.

  Zhang Hu led his men to the back door, the back door opened immediately, and the leader of the secret sentry greeted him immediately, clasped his fists and said: "Report to join the army, all 30 people have been taken!"

"thanks everyone!"

Zhang Hu praised, walked into the yard quickly, and saw people lying on the ground in the yard, everyone was **** tightly, and their mouths were blocked by rags. A group of people were like boiled prawns, lying in a haphazard manner Crouching on the ground, seeing that they were all Han Chinese, Zhang Hu was really annoyed. These should be Han Chinese from the Liao Army, but they actually surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin to attack their ancestors.

   "Did any weapons be found?"

"have!"

More than a dozen people carried out five large boxes from the house, opened the box, and inside were swords, spears, bows and crossbows, and armor. They all fled south with the old emperor. There is no Tianlong Imperial Army in the capital anymore. Some people wear the red lacquer mountain armor, but they are all middle-level generals. Is it possible to pretend to be a general with these small tricks?

Of course, Zhang Hu also knows the real reason. These people should have been lurking in the capital for several months. It was no problem to wear this kind of armor at that time, but it was an accident that the Tianlong Imperial Army followed the old emperor to withdraw. Presumably, these secret agents did not know this situation. Otherwise, they should get other armors. In the capital, as long as they are willing to spend money, they can buy any weapons and armors.

   "Immediately wake up a few people with water and interrogate them separately!"

  The top priority now is to track down their accomplices. Zhang Hu knew that time was running out, so he issued a ruthless order to get the information he wanted even if they were tortured to death.

After several rounds of brutal torture, Zhang Hu finally got the information he wanted. A total of 104 elite soldiers lurked in, and they caught 31 people, and 73 people had already sneaked into the civilian husband. Among them, preparing to go to the city to help in the most intense battle, this matter cannot be hesitated, Zhang Hu immediately entrusted this task to the general Wang Feng, and asked him to lead more than a thousand people to arrest the remaining spies.

   "Mr. Li is here!"

  A soldier shouted, and Li Gang hurried into the yard with a few of his men.

   "Zhang joined the army, I heard that there are gains"

  Li Gang suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring at the 'prawns' all over the floor with wide eyes, "They... are they all meticulous?"

   "It's all spy work! And it's the scout spy work lurking in. There are more than a hundred people in total, ready to cooperate with the golden soldiers outside the city."

This information made Li Gang gasp, it is not as simple as collecting information, but also to seize the city, which is serious, he looked at the secret work in the yard, and soon realized something was wrong, "There are no hundreds of people here, what about the other secret work? "

   "The others are hidden among the civilians. I have already asked General Wang to arrest them. I should be able to catch them tonight."

  Li Gang breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Is there any other information?"

"There is another important piece of information. There is also a small branch of the Jin Kingdom in the capital. It mainly collects information. The leader is the former Minister of the Military Department of the South Academy of Liao Kingdom. He was named Xiao Nan in the Liao Kingdom. The original name is not clear. They have been working since last year. It will be active in the capital."

   "Have they never dated?"

   "I have been in contact with each other. There is a Linji grocery store in Xiwazi, Zhou, which is an information point. They communicate through this information point. I guess the carrier pigeon in Daxiangguo Temple is them."

  Li Gang was overjoyed, and quickly asked: "Then did you send someone to get this information point?"

   "The humble job is preparing to send someone!"

  Li Gang waved his hand, "Then don't send them, I'll go and see for myself, and you concentrate on arresting the enemy scouts among the civilians."

  Intelligence work is different from scout work. Intelligence work is a civilian job in the work, and it is not very dangerous. Zhang Hu nodded, "Then Mr. Li will work hard."

After dark is the bustling time in Wazi everywhere, but after the outbreak of the war, Xiwazi, Zhou has lost the hustle and bustle of the past, almost 70% of the shops are closed, the streets are deserted, only some sell food and Small shops for daily necessities are still open, but there are very few customers.

The customers of Wasi are mainly middle- and lower-class people. Due to the sharp rise in rice prices, business is difficult and there are few opportunities to make money. Everyone tightens their wallets and is not easy to go out to spend. As a result, the business of each store is extremely slow , only the owner of the store sat at the door, looking helplessly at the sparse pedestrians.

   But the business is good in the brothels, and most of the pedestrians in the tiles are rushing to the brothels. The outbreak of the war made many people have the idea of ​​enjoying themselves in time, so the business of the brothels is better than usual.

Linji Grocery Store is located at the southwest entrance of Xiwazi, Zhou. You can see it within a dozen steps. Remember the five big characters of "grocery store", after wind and rain, the wooden carving board has turned white, and the handwriting is not clear.

  The door of the grocery store was half open, and the store was full of daily necessities such as wooden pots, bamboo baskets, etc. The shopkeeper was not seen, only a clerk was sleeping on the counter.

At this time, Li Gang walked in with a few entourages. There had already been scouts climbing up to the second floor. There was only one guy in the whole wooden house. Li Gang saw that the guy was only sixteen or seventeen years old, so he was not afraid anymore. Go straight into the shop.

  The clerk woke up immediately, and hurriedly came out to accompany him with a smile and said, "What do you want to buy, the guest officer? This store is half price."

   "I want to buy this shop, is your shopkeeper here?"

  The man scratched his head, "The shopkeeper hasn't come for several days."

   "It doesn't matter, or you tell me, where does your shopkeeper live? What's his name, I'll come to find him myself."

   "My shopkeeper's surname is Ding, and I know where he lives."

   "How come you don't know?" Li Gang asked with staring eyes.

  The clerk's heart felt trembling, and he said timidly: "The villain only came here to work half a month ago. He only knows that the shopkeeper's surname is Ding, and he doesn't know anything else."

   "You're the only guy in the store?"

   "Only me."

  Li Gang was a little dumbfounded, is this really an intelligence contact point? He didn't care about anything. He thought too well about the situation before, and catching the shopkeeper was a clue. Unexpectedly, the other party left nothing behind. But in case there is any urgent information, how can this guy contact the shopkeeper?

   Li Gang glanced at the guy suspiciously again, he felt that the guy still had something to say.

  Thinking of this, Li Gang waved his hand and ordered: "Arrest people for interrogation, and dig three feet for me to search!"
