The relationship between Jiuying and Li Youde from Luoye Village is relatively complicated.
Li Youde is a typical opportunist. He is the chairman of the maintenance committee and the commander of the security army battalion. Based on his performance in the past few years, there will definitely be no problem in being the commander of the security regiment.
There are already nine companies of the security force under his command, and he is responsible for more than ten artillery towers, but he is still the battalion commander.
Some villagers secretly scolded him as a traitor, but he didn't care. There had been a drought in the plains in the past two years, but his annual task of handing over rations to the imperial army in the county town had not diminished at all.
If he hadn't been doing other businesses secretly, he would have been completely squeezed out by the little devils.
The little devil is not a good person, and he doesn't care how his dogs are doing, or if they can't pay for their food. Even if you are the maintenance president, they will still take action on you.
There is a way to live in troubled times, and Li Youde is a smart man, otherwise he would not have driven his brothers out of the house on the surface, but secretly still supported Li Youcai.
The local gentry is not just a talker. They need money, food, people, guns, and connections.
Hu Yi didn't expect that the first stop of his research would be Li Youde's Luoye Village.
Li Youde has an ambiguous relationship with the Independent Group.
When the team passed the Lushuipu Blockhouse at dark, they made a phone call to Luoye Village.
Hu Yi arranged for soldiers to be on guard, and Ma Liang implemented the specific deployment.
At around twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Li Youde arrived as promised.
He only brought a dozen followers with him, followed Ma Liang, and went straight to Hu Yi. He nodded slightly and said, "Long time no see."
Hu Yi has a straight-forward temper and doesn't talk nonsense. He has no polite greetings: "There is a new leader in the regiment, and I want to meet you. Let's set up the Dragon Gate Formation."
"Dragon Gate Formation?" Li Youde's first reaction was Hongmen Banquet. It took him a while to understand that it was the dialect of Shu, and he looked a little surprised: "Has Brother Deyi been transferred?"
When Hu Yi was away, Ding De contacted him directly.
"Can't we add a pair of bowls and chopsticks?" Hu Yi smiled faintly. He only knew the term "setting up the dragon's gate formation" because of thousands of details. He felt that it was much more grand than chatting and talking about it.
Li Youde pondered for a moment, guessing that the Independent Regiment, like his Eighth Route Regiment, might have a chief of staff, and laughed at himself: "You are getting stronger and stronger in the mountains, and I am the only one who still guards this three-acre land."
Hu Yi looked at Li Youde quietly: "In these days, it is not easy to hold on to three acres of land."
"Wealth in the mountains has distant relatives." Li Youde felt that the independent group had a backer, unlike himself who was alone and would disperse if he fell.
"You may have it backwards. We are so poor that we almost have no pants to wear." Hu Yi shook his head.
"Tell me, how much food do you need this time?" Li Youde did not plan to meet more people in the independent group. He was willing to be the battalion commander of the maintenance group and the security group. He just hoped to keep the Li family safe. Some things should not be mixed up with more.
“It’s really not about food this time.”
"Hey, the guests are all here? What are you talking about standing in the wilderness?" A cheerful voice came from the darkness.
Hu Yi nodded to Li Xiaode: "Don't worry, if we take action against you, we will definitely come to you in an upright and honest manner."
Li Youde didn't understand what medicine Hu Yi was selling in his gourd: "I can trust your credibility."
After saying that, he walked towards the place where the voice came from in the darkness, stopping his subordinates from following him.
An hour later, Li Youde came out of the village.
Li Youde hugged Hu Yi and said, "Thank you."
Hu Yi was a little confused. He didn't know the content of the conversation between the chief and Li Youde, and he didn't want to know: "Let's just say goodbye."
"The days are long." Li Youde sounded a little excited, and without saying any more, he turned around and led the team into the darkness.
In the darkness, the team quietly left in batches and headed towards Meixian.
The division guards and a squad of the Ninth Battalion are still guarding the village. The order they received is that no one can leave the village until dark tomorrow.
There used to be an informant from the detective team living in the village. When this guy was taken out of bed in the middle of the night, he peed his pants out of fright.
There was no need for interrogation. He poured out beans through a bamboo tube and told everything he knew clearly.
A large number of people from the Eighth Route Army entered the village. Even if they reported it, it would be in vain. If nothing else, would the detective team who received the news dare to come out?
Moreover, a large number of Eight Route Army soldiers appeared in his jurisdiction. If he could suppress this group of Eight Route Army soldiers, he might even be able to make a fortune.
If you run away, you will probably be fined and bankrupt because of your poor work.
Before dawn, Hu Yi led a large group of people to stop at Xiangmo Village.
On the other way, Ma Liang took Li Laosi, Xiao Hongying and a group of more than ten people. Under the leadership of the corresponding traffic officer, they entered Meixian County directly from the tunnel at dawn.
Following that, Su Qing and the research team entered the county from the tunnel.
Lao Zhou had already been waiting at Zhou Ji Buzhuang.
The location of Zhouji Buzhuang was Yoshida Trading Company, which was once opened by the people of Bird Country.
It was already broad daylight, and people began to come in and out of Zhou Ji Cloth Village. More people came out and fewer people came in.
Go out in groups of five.
Xiao Hongying saw Xu Xiao squatting at the street corner at a glance. She was a little surprised and walked over quickly: "Why are you here?"
"Lao Zhou and I just came back to Meixian a few days ago." Xu Xiao looked at Xiao Hongying in black clothes and black pants with a braid on her head, and shook her head: "It's not as good-looking as before."
Xiao Hongying chuckled: "They thought that if they cut my hair short, I wouldn't be able to braid it. I'm so angry with them."
Xu Xiao asked expectantly: "Is the monitor here too?"
"No, outside the city." Xiao Hongying knew that he was asking about the mule.
"Where's the company commander?"
"Tell the battalion commanders Ma Liang and Li Xiang to be outside the city."
Xu Xiao's eyes lit up: "Are we going to attack the county town again this time?"
"No fight." Xiao Hongying shook her head and glanced around the city with her peripheral vision: "Go and buy some steamed buns for my sister."
The officer of the enemy's Ministry of Industry, who was standing next to Xiao Hongying, quickly dug into his pocket and took out the four or five dime bills he had saved for the allowance. He gritted his teeth and handed it to Xu Xiao: "Here's the money for you."
Xiao Hongying was stunned for a moment, then pushed back the poor guy's hand that was holding the money: "You're not familiar with the place, so you use the border ticket to buy things in enemy-occupied areas?"
After saying that, he took out a stack of ten-yuan Japanese military coupons and said, "Buy everything in the bun shop for me."
The chief executive was very embarrassed and couldn't help but wonder, how could this girl have so much money?
Border area tickets can also be used in enemy-occupied areas, and can generally only be used between people who are familiar with each other.
If someone from the investigation team discovers that he can still pay the fine if he has a good citizen certificate and a guarantor, it may be fine. If he cannot explain the source of the money during the investigation, he will definitely be arrested and made a civilian husband.
The possibility of being shot is not high. If you are shot, you will waste a bullet, and you will be sent directly to the coal mines in the north to work as a black laborer, and you can also exchange for some money!
Times are changing, and the traitors in the detective team only want to get rich. As long as they don't shout slogans all the time, or are identified by traitors as being members of the Eighth Route Army, it is not difficult to save their lives.
Even if they catch the Eighth Route Army, the gendarmerie soldiers no longer shoot them immediately, because it is in their interests to let the Eighth Route Army work as laborers.
It is obviously unrealistic to directly investigate this situation. The chief can only listen to Lao Zhou's report while walking on the street.
Chunxiu Building is still there, with Xiao Hongying walking in front followed by Li Laosi, Dirty Face, Big Dog and the guards.
The person who took over the Chunxiu Building was the successor trained by Mother Jin. After hearing someone yelling and seeing Xiao Hongying, he rushed out the door and shouted loudly: "I heard the magpies chirping early in the morning. Auntie, you finally remembered to visit your sister Hua."
The sound was running directly down the street.
The guard was shocked
That's the Japanese Military Police not far across the street, okay?
Not far behind, the leader who was looking around and talking to Lao Zhou, saw the gorgeous woman rushing to the street to pull Xiao Hongying, and then looked up at the words "Chunxiu Building", and his jaw dropped in shock.
[Thank you to boss Hanjiang Chuxue, thank you to the source of the river, thank you Brother Shuo, and thank you to the bosses who have always voted for me. I am very touched. I can’t explain it if I don’t add more. I will add another chapter later]
