Feng Sanniang and the others sat on the carriage, drinking cold water and eating dry food. They wanted to fill their stomachs first so that they could move forward. Xiao Tianle urged his horse and whipped his horse, introducing the situation to Feng Sanniang and the others as they walked.

"There are no checkpoints all the way from here to Huajiazhai. It's less than 70 miles away. We'll be there soon with all our efforts. The key point is that it's all downhill. We're carrying a light load and the road in autumn is easy to walk. We'll probably get home.

It’ll only take less than three hours.”

"Brother Xiao, how are your family members? Xiao Dazhuang and Xiao Jianru are also doing well. They can also come to transport food this time. If there is a chance, you can meet each other.

It's best for us to arrive at Huajiazhai when Jiao Zhonghui and the others are having dinner. I heard from Brother Gao Yang that Jiao Zhonghui and the others eat at their own restaurant every night and don't go back to the barracks until very late every day."

Feng Sanniang chatted with brother Xiao Tianle while eating. She wanted to ask Xiao Tianle for more details. Xiao Tianle also responded to Feng Sanniang's words while driving on the roadside, telling him everything he knew about the situation.

"Isn't that right? They eat in the restaurant every night and stay up until midnight. This restaurant was only opened after Jiao Zhonghui came. Jiao Zhonghui may be the real boss.

In the past, there were no restaurants in Da Kuanggou. After Jiao Zhonghui came, a large market was built in Huajiazhai, and many merchants from Yangkou Town set up branches in Huajiazhai.

Although the business is not very prosperous, there are still people coming to trade every day. Buying and selling are the same thing. For the sake of convenience, Jiao Zhonghui opened this restaurant, but in name it belongs to someone else, but in fact it belongs to Jiao Zhonghui.

Most of the people who come to eat are people from their security brigade, and a small number of them are merchants. How can farmers have money to go to restaurants? Even if guests come to their homes, they can’t afford to go there, but soldiers can’t afford it every month.

I have money to go and eat there twice.

Jiao Zhonghui is really not like some officials who bully men and women and harm other girls and wives. He is greedy for money. If he has his eyes on a little money, he will not give up until he makes money.

Even this restaurant charges a very high price. You pay first and eat later. Even those who are soldiers don't dare to go there often. They can't afford to spend the money and they don't dare to default on the bill, so they can only endure it.

The reason why Jiao Zhonghui goes there every night is that he can have something good to eat and enjoy himself, and he also wants to watch something, so as not to let the soldiers cause trouble. More importantly, when he goes to eat, others have to pay for his piety.

The name of this restaurant is "Mountain Restaurant", and it is located in the open space at the west end of Huajiazhai Village. The Huajiazhai Market is also located there, and not far away diagonally across the road to the north is the garrison barracks, hundreds of miles away.

rice.

This military camp has been established for several years. In the past, a squadron of the Yangkou Town Detective Team was stationed, and now it has been expanded. Jiao Zhonghui and two squadrons of the Yangkou Town Security Brigade are stationed here.

There are watchtowers and a suspension bridge in front of the military camp, and the surrounding walls are also high and surrounded by barbed wire. There are also telephones connected to Yangkou Town. The entire defense system is very complete, and it is difficult to break through if the number of people is small.

In the past, the third squadron of the Yangkou Town Detective Brigade was stationed in the military camp compound. Now it has been renamed the fourth squadron of the Yangkou Town Security Brigade. The captain's name is Chang Guangping. He is pretty decent to the common people, but he usually hides in the military camp.

, and don’t often disturb the people.

Now it was no longer possible. He was forced by Jiao Zhonghui to search the villages. The checkpoint on the road was in charge of their Fourth Squadron, and Jiao Zhonghui also assigned an adjutant to the Fourth Squadron named Lan Dongyang.

This Lan Dongyang is not a good guy. I heard he was born with a beard. He shows his teeth and claws all day long, robbing and snatching, and also secretly harms women from good families. He sometimes acts alone, and it seems that he is better than Chang Guangping.

Calculate.

The newly transferred squadron is called the Third Squadron of the Security Brigade, and its captain is Jiao Dehui. He is a distant cousin of Jiao Zhonghui. Of course he follows Jiao Zhonghui wholeheartedly, and he also receives Jiao Zhonghui's support and connivance."

"Brother Xiao introduced it in detail. Our purpose here is to get rid of Jiao Zhonghui so that the villagers of Da Kuangchanggou will no longer suffer from the cruel oppression of Jiao Zhonghui and others.

The good days of Jiao Zhonghui and the others are over. If we have a chance tonight, we will take action immediately! When we get to your house, we will not enter the house. You will lead Gao Yang to the restaurant to check the situation.

If Jiao Zhonghui is still eating in that restaurant and everything is as usual, come back quickly and tell us, and we will take action tonight! If there is any inconvenience, we can change it to tomorrow."

"I'll hit the horse to speed up. It looks like there's still enough time. When you get home, go inside and have a rest. Ask your sister-in-law to get you some food. I told your sister-in-law before I left. I'm afraid it's ready by now.

.”

"It's better not to enter the house, as I won't bring you any safety hazards. If everything goes well tonight, we will leave overnight, and you don't need to worry about us. Just stay at home and don't leave the house. We will have many opportunities to meet in the future."

Along the way, the conversation was used to relieve some anxiety. The sun had been setting for a long time, but the speed of the carriage still did not slow down. Although the four horses were very tired, Xiao Tianle still drove them to run non-stop.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, the carriage finally arrived at Huajiazhai and slowed down. After stopping, Xiao Tianle handed the carriage to Wu Yunlei, and he and Gao Yang walked to the restaurant at the west end of the village.

Half an hour later, Xiao Tianle and Gao Yang returned and reported the situation to Feng Sanniang: "Jiao Zhonghui and the others are really eating in that restaurant, and they probably won't be able to finish it for a while, because they just ate not long ago.

In addition to Jiao Zhonghui, there were also Chang Guangping, Jiao Dehui, Lan Dongyang and the adjutant of the third squadron, Zhong Tiansheng, accompanying them. All the chief officers of them were present, and it seemed that they were discussing things while eating.

There are also two groups of people eating in the large room outside the house. One group is soldiers from the Third Squadron of the Security Brigade. There are ten people in total. They are also in the mood. The other group has only five people. They are not soldiers. They may be from those business companies.

People discuss business together."

"The opportunity is very good, Brother Xiao, Brother Gao Yang, let's say goodbye! Brother Xiao will continue to help us buy some grain tomorrow and go to buy it with retail investors. Give us more money and collect five or six thousand kilograms. We can't carry more.

.

Brother Gao Yang will contact Sister Ru Zhen and the others tomorrow and send the food to Chenyue Temple by carriage. It is estimated that starting from tomorrow, the checkpoint between Hala Huxue and Houdaoliang will be cancelled.

No matter how fierce the gunfire is, you two are not allowed to go out tonight, let alone come to support us! When it subsides during the day tomorrow, go and do what you should be busy with, remember!
