Chapter 666 Lai Da Was Captured
The raid on the construction site was jointly carried out by a platoon of Li Yayang's security company and the Dongmen City Police Force.Under the command of Li Yayang, the soldiers quietly pulled up the cordon from both ends, cut off the traffic, and sealed off the entire construction site.

While the migrant workers were working, sharp police whistles sounded at both ends of the road at the same time, and many bayonet-mounted rifles were shaking.Then, infantrymen in gray uniforms and policemen in black uniforms squeezed from both ends to the middle at the same time.

"Squat! Squat!", "You! Put the shovel on the ground!", "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Several police officers shouted with loudspeakers.The sharp bayonets of the infantry added to the persuasion of the police.The migrant workers who were at a loss quickly squatted on the ground one by one.The whole construction site was suddenly silent.

Under the command of a political security instructor, the political security personnel in black police uniforms and blue "political security" armbands began to check the ID cards of people on each construction site one by one.

The supervisor in charge of the construction of this tender section on the construction site is a veteran named Zhang Zhangping, who was originally driving a crane—they are now using a self-produced steam engine crane.Not to mention the huge size and difficulty in moving, because there is no electromechanical control equipment, it will become "killing" if you don't pay attention to it. The hastily trained indigenous crane drivers kept smashing materials and killing people on the construction site. Zhang Ping had to go to the battle himself , Training while working.

He was taken aback when he heard the whistle, and found himself surrounded by a group of "black crows" a few minutes later.

"What's up?!"

"Surprise inspection. Chief!" The leading instructor saluted, "Please show your ID!"

"Okay." Zhang Liping took out his ID card from his pocket, and the instructor read it carefully for a long time before returning it to him, "Thank you! We need to check all the personnel on the construction site, please cooperate."

Zhang Liping took out the roster of tenders, and the political and security personnel in charge of the inspection checked them one by one.

Once the identity of the laborers and clerks working on the tenders is verified, it is over.Those aboriginal personnel who do not work in this bidding section but come to work on the construction site for various reasons, as long as they explain clearly what they are here for - they just need to register.

As for the others, they were not so polite. They were interrogated one by one. Those with certificates were better off, while those without certificates were severely interrogated, and a few timid ones were so scared that they almost peed their pants.

Those without documents will be temporarily detained pending further identity verification.

During the busy investigation, a political and security officer who was registering suddenly discovered that a person was riding everyone busy, and slowly descended from behind the mound to the dry river, using the dry river bottom to grow dense reeds Has slipped out a long way.If it wasn't for a small open space during the period that exposed him, I'm afraid he would have ran out.

"There's someone at the bottom of the river!" he yelled.

Before the police started blowing their whistles, there was a clear gunshot on the shore—the soldiers of the security company fired.

"Don't shoot!" The instructor who led the team quickly shouted, and he waved his hand, "Quick, catch alive!"

More than a dozen soldiers, policemen, and political security personnel let out a howl and rushed over together.

A few minutes later, the guy who was trying to escape was brought over.Zhang Liping was secretly surprised—is there really a spy on his bid?
The person trying to escape was wearing a local indigo blue cotton short-sleeved training uniform with rolled-up trousers, mud on his calves and arms, and a tattered straw hat on his head.

This appearance is no different from that of a laborer working on a construction site.

Search him: some small circulation notes, a few copper coins.Nothing else, and of course no papers.The people on the construction site also said that they have never seen this person

"What's it called?" the instructor asked.

"The young one is called Chen Da." The caught man seemed very nervous and kept licking his lips.

"Why are you running?"

"..."

"Which team of workers are you, why do you have no documents?"

"The young one is a casual laborer who transports earth...I lost my certificate..."

His words faltered and his deeds were very suspicious.The instructor immediately asked someone to take him back for interrogation.

The person who was caught was Lai Da.

Lai Da was ordered to come back to Laingao to contact the Huang family.He knew that Lingao was very tightly guarded, so he didn't dare to take the big road, but only took the small road.

Lai Da thought about it again and again, he was mainly active among the gentry, and the gentry generally lived in the four townships, as long as he didn't go to Dongmen City, the county town, Bopu and other prosperous places, he would not be in danger.

When he was fleeing with Gou Chengxuan, he made an appointment with his brother Lai Xiaozao, every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, he would ask Lai Xiao to wait for an hour in a ruined temple outside the city.

Lai Xiao, who had been waiting desperately for a long time, finally waited for his brother to come, and brought the news that the government army was about to attack, and was immediately overjoyed.But Lai Xiao tried his best to oppose the matter of winning over the local gentry.

"This matter can only be promised falsely, and it must not be done!" Lai Xiao whispered to his brother.

Lai Xiao's cautiousness is justified. Because he is an errand in the county school, it is very convenient for him to do activities in Lingao, and he knows a lot about it.He told Lai Da that the Kun bandits are already fully mobilizing and preparing for battle, adding a lot of troops.

"The thieves keep a close eye on the gentry! There are patrolling spies everywhere! There are also many interrogators on the road," Lai Xiaoxiao said, "There are many people around the county school these days. You have to see Huang Tikun is afraid it won't work."

"Where's Huangjiazhai?"

"Probably there are also people watching in secret." Lai Xiao hasn't been to Huangjiazhai recently, but he has done business for the children of other big families-almost every big family in the county has some strange people at the door.

"The thieves keep an eye on the big households very closely, and show both kindness and power. The big households are now at most daring to attack and respond to the army. Brother, you have to contact them, even if they don't betray you on the spot. If you go out, you will be caught by the spies of the Kun thief." Lai Xiao tried hard to advise.

Lai Da pondered for a moment: "Can you ask someone from the Huang family to come out and talk to a secret place? Is the Huang family just so convinced? The hatred of killing sons and brothers..."

"It's up to the younger brother to figure out a solution." Lai Xiao felt that if he didn't do anything, he couldn't explain it to the young master.Whether the Gou family can get back together, whether they can resume their good life in Lingao, depends on whether they can do meritorious service for the young master this time!

"We must contact the big households!" Lai Da said fiercely, "This time, we must show the gangsters a little more power!"

Of course, there is a deep-seated reason why Lai Da hates Australians so much: Chuqing.

Chu Qing was a maid, Gou Er had promised her to him back then.

Lingao in the Ming Dynasty was a society with a seriously imbalanced ratio of men to women. It was very difficult for young men to marry a wife, let alone a young and pretty good-looking maid like Chu Qing.It stands to reason that most of such maids will be tired of being played by the master, and they will be rewarded to the servants after playing with them. This is already a great grace, and many people simply cannot afford the cost of marrying a wife.

But Chuqing is the perfect jade that the master has never touched.This alone was enough to make Lai Da burst into tears with gratitude, and vowed to follow him to the death.However, before he had time to enjoy the first joy in his life, the Gou family was destroyed.

Then came fleeing, hiding, and wandering.The two brothers have changed from dominating and domineering with no worries about food and clothing to relying on odd jobs and begging for a living.From time to time, he was beaten and humiliated by county residents who had been bullied by the Gou family in the past.From a high-spirited slave of a wealthy family to a bereaved dog that everyone screams and beats, and then heard that Chuqing was snatched by an Australian to be his concubine.

The brothers of the Lai family followed Gou Chengxuan faithfully and faithfully when the Gou family was at their worst and most hopeless, and their strong personal enmity played a big role.It is precisely because of such an unforgettable hatred that little brother Lai Da Lai can persevere under the greatest adversity.

Lai Xiao bought Lai Da an old work uniform, wearing this kind of clothing can make it easier to enter and exit Bairen City, Boshop and other places.It is not easy to be questioned on the road.

"Brother, you don't have an ID card, so don't go to these places lightly. Recently, the thieves have been checking closely."

"Understood." Lai Da said, "I'm still going to work on the Wenlan River construction site."

There are a lot of workers on the Wenlanhe construction site, and there are a lot of casual workers on the earthwork. They get paid every day with a lottery. It's an easy place to live.

Lai Da came back with money, but he didn't dare to live in a local hotel or inn.The police headquarters has set up a passenger registration and reporting system in all inns, shops, hotels, bathhouses and other commercial places where people can stay overnight in Lingao.Every night after 8:[-] p.m., the police will check the passenger registers of each overnight store one by one to check for suspicious persons.

To be on the safe side, Lai Da didn't dare to throw himself into a trap to live in such a place. He simply set up a shed and slept in the woods outside the county town, far away from the main road. Rain will do.

Even so, the rainy rains that started in the summer still made him suffer.

Lai Xiaoben walked around for a few days, and finally managed to get in touch with a personal servant of the Huang family, but the other party was always vague and refused to give a clear answer. Is it possible to introduce Lai Da to see the master of the Huang family, even if it costs money? It doesn't work either.

Lai Xiao was very anxious, thinking that the Huang family might not want to do it, and maybe they would betray them, so he suggested that Lai Da should hide immediately, or the brothers should flee to Qiongshan altogether.

Lai Da comforted him and said: "The Huang family just doesn't want to see us now because the situation is unclear. When the officers and soldiers arrive in Ma Niao, we will not go to him, but he will come to us instead."

"In this way, wouldn't it be impossible to mobilize local troops to support the army?" Lai Xiao said anxiously.

"The thieves are so powerful, if the officers and soldiers don't reach Lingao, how can the big gentry dare to act." Lai Da said confidently.
