Xiao Yingwu couldn't help laughing when he saw Lin Yuan's brows furrowed, "We won a big game, why are you unhappy?"

Lin Yuan didn't express the question in his heart, but he smiled and said, "It's nothing, let's go to their camp to see."

Lin Yuan and Xiao Yingwu left the headquarters, crossed the river, and saw many soldiers in military uniforms sitting in the open space, surrounded by a few soldiers with guns guarding them, Lin Yuan asked: "How is the situation? "

A soldier said: "Most of the Qing army has surrendered, and some have fled to distant places. We don't have enough troops, and we haven't pursued them."

Lin Yuan then walked into the Qing army camp, and saw that the camp was full of people, most of them without military uniforms. Lin Yuan called the officer and asked, "These people without military uniforms were sent by the Qing court. Is it a refill?"

The officer nodded, and Lin Yuan then asked, "Where did these people come from?"

The officer said, "They were all pulled from several nearby villages."

Lin Yuan frowned and asked, "How many villages are there?"

The officer said: "We haven't investigated this clearly yet."

Lin Yuan said: "Investigate this matter immediately."

The officer agreed, turned around and left. Xiao Yingwu said aside, "Why are we investigating these things? Just let them go. It's useless to keep them."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "It will definitely be useful to investigate these things clearly, Lao Xiao, just wait and see."

Lin Yuan called another officer and said: "Have someone divide these people into villages. Hurry up, try to finish this matter before tomorrow morning, and then find out the cards of each village. .”

The officer asked, "Shuai Lin, what are all the cards?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "The Qing court is different from us. Under the rule of the Qing court, ten families were divided into one 'pai'. A', the leader is called 'Jiachang'; ten 'Jia' are a 'Bao', the leader is called 'Baozheng', they are all grassroots officials."

The officer agreed, and Xiao Yingwu said to Lin Yuan: "Should we consider letting the newly formed No. 14 Division do this? They are all locals from Zhili, and they speak the same language, and these people are all recruits. , The enthusiasm of recruits to do things must be higher than that of veterans, if the veterans of the Seventh Division are asked to do these things, they must have emotions."

Lin Yuan thought that what Xiao Yingwu said was right. Veterans are full of arrogance, and felt that such small things should not be done by themselves, so it would be good to let recruits do these things, so Lin Yuan said to Xiao Yingwu: "Okay, You go and do this."

The next morning, Xiao Yingwu came to Lin Yuan and said, "It's done."

Lin Yuan said: "Send a troop and set up machine guns in the open space outside the barracks!"

Xiao Yingwu said suspiciously: "Set up the machine gun? You're not going to kill them all, are you?"

Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "Am I that cruel?" Soon everything was ready, Lin Yuan came to the open space, and said to the officer nearby: "Have you found out the names of the villages I asked you to investigate?"

A military officer handed over a document to Lin Yuan and said, "It's all been checked, and it involves ten counties and more than 200 villages."

Lin Yuan pointed to the first village and said, "Call me the people from Wangjia Village first." After a while, a group of men and women came out of the barracks, and when they saw the machine gun behind Lin Yuan, their faces turned pale with fright. Standing in front of everyone, he said loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone, as long as you tell the truth, I will not hurt you, and I will give you something to eat and let you go home. Who among you is Baozheng?"

An old man stood up and said, "I am."

Lin Yuan asked Baozheng, "Are all these people from your village?"

Guarantee hesitated for a moment and said, "They all belong to our village."

Lin Yuan asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Baozheng shook, and said, "No."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come and ask everyone." So Lin Yuan said loudly to everyone: "Is there anyone among you who is not from your village? Whoever exposes him, I will reward you."

Everyone bowed their heads in silence, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "50 yuan!" At this moment, a young man moved his shoulder, as if he wanted to raise his hand, but was pulled by a woman behind him, the young man lowered his head again, Lin Yuan pointed The young man said, "You! It's you! Come out, I have something to ask you!"

The young man was a little scared and didn't dare to come out, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Come out, don't be afraid!" Lin Yuan called twice before the young man came out, Lin Yuan said: "Tell me quickly, who is not from your village, I see you know."

The young man pointed to the back with his hand and said, "That person is not from our village!"

At this time, I saw a strong man rushing out of the crowd and was about to run outside the encirclement of Lin Yuan's troops. A few soldiers stopped him and punched him, and the strong man was knocked to the ground. At this moment, Baozheng suddenly fell to his knees. On the ground, he said to Lin Yuan: "Shuai Lin, please forgive me, we didn't mean to deceive you!"

Lin Yuan helped the old man up with a smile, and said, "Old man, I think you are an honest and kind person. Tell me, why do you help him hide it from me?"

The old man said: "That man was not from our village, but he sneaked in today and insisted on making us say that he is from our village, and how capable his brothers are. If we don't agree, we will suffer in the future. We didn't The only way is to hide it for him."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "So that's the case, you don't have to be afraid, old man, do you know who that guy is?"

Baozheng shook his head again and again, Lin Yuan turned his head and ordered: "Push that guy up!" Several soldiers hurriedly pushed the strong man to the front and pressed him to the ground, Lin Yuan said: "If you are a man, push yourself up!" Tell me your true identity!"

The strong man shouted: "I am the loyal minister of the Holy One, Lei Zhongwu, the leader of the Green Camp of Hejian Prefecture! Although I am a warrior, I will swear to kill Lin Ni!"

Lin Yuan said to the villagers: "See? This is not a hero of the Jianghu, but a remnant of the Qing court. He wants to mix with you and return to the village, lurking on the spot, and then waits for the opportunity to destroy. Folks, we let you The army that lived a good life, I believe you all know what we did in Baoding Mansion, we distributed all the landlord’s land to everyone, and distributed seeds and farm tools to everyone, will the Qing court do this?”

The common people nodded their heads in praise, and Lin Yuan continued, "Now, please continue to expose, I know he cannot be the only spy!"

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, two men fell to their knees and said, "Shuai Lin, please forgive me, we are also members of the Qing court, please forgive us."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, let's put it on hold first!" Then he said to the people: "You go to the side to get food and go home." The people left gratefully, and Xiao Yingwu said: "So you investigate The village is for catching spies!"

Lin Yuan said: "Of course, I thought this matter went too smoothly, and there must be something wrong. Later, I realized that the Qing court might hide spies among the common people, so I thought about finding them out!"
