19, the town round up

Translator Yao Lin and Yao were called from Wenrou Township.

Yao Lin's life has been very fulfilling these days.

During the day, he behaved like a dog, shouting and showing off in front of his fellow villagers.

At night, Chief Yao would secretly send his most beloved third concubine to his room for him to enjoy. He also gave him a lot of gifts, just asking him to say a few good words for him in front of Qingtian.

.

Yao Lin took Yao Baozhang's money and played with Yao Baozhang's women. He felt very happy and said to himself that when you, an old boy, also begged me, he hoped that this kind of good life could continue for a long time.

Unexpectedly, he just climbed into bed tonight and was flirting with his third aunt when he suddenly heard several gunshots.

Judging from the source of the sound, it seemed to be coming from the ancestral hall.

Yao Lin originally thought that the villagers were making trouble, and Lao Jiu and the others were trying to scare the monkeys, so he didn't take it seriously and continued to flirt with the third aunt.

Unexpectedly, not long after, a Japanese soldier knocked on the door and said that the commander ordered him to rush to the ancestral hall immediately.

The master of Qingtian gave orders, but Yao Lin didn't dare to disobey. He quickly got dressed and ran all the way to the Yao family ancestral hall.

When he got there, Yao Lin found that the atmosphere was very unusual -

Those villagers who had gone to bed or who had not yet gone to bed were all driven to the front yard of the ancestral hall, where they squatted on the ground in a dark mass, daring not to move.

There were many torches standing in the ancestral hall, the fire was bright, and there were dozens of imperial troops with guns and live ammunition standing around. The number was limited, and all the soldiers who were resting were called up.

Qingtian stood in front of the crowd with a straight face and a fierce look in his eyes. Yao Baozhang and all his men were also present.

On the ground in front of them, there were three corpses lying on their backs.

Yao Lin recognized one of them as Yao Baozhang's descendant Yao Jintian, the other as Yao Baozhang's confidant Lao Jiu, and the last one as a soldier of the imperial army. He looked familiar, but he forgot his name.

Someone actually dared to kill Taijun. This made him even more angry than killing Yao Lin's own father.

He thought it was the people squatting in the yard who had done something wrong. He suddenly became furious and pointed at the group of people, his fingers trembling with anger: "You... how dare you do this to the imperial army..."

Qingtian, who had been livid all the time, interrupted him: "Yao Sang!"

Yao Lin saw that Qingtian's expression was not right, so he quickly ran up to his master and lowered his hands to listen to his orders.

Qingtian had already heard the report from his subordinates, and he said coldly: "Yao Sang, the murderer is not these farmers, but a bald boy, said to be a monk."

Yao Lin was stunned on the spot: "Monk? Where did the monk come from?"

Yao Baozhang observed the faces and guessed the conversation between the two people. He interrupted and said: "I asked Jintian's wife, and she said that the monk came from outside, his surname was Wei, and he came to Yaojia Town to find him.

his parents……"

Yao Lin asked: "Is there a family named Wei in Yaojia Town?"

"As far as I know, there is indeed a migrant family named Wei at the foot of the mountain. They moved here a few years ago. They are just an old couple..."

Yao Lin interrupted him again: "Where are they?"

Chief Yao Baozhang shook his head and said: "They are not in this ancestral hall. I have not seen the old couple since the flood. They must have been washed away by the flood, but his son, the monk, did not know about it."

, so I came here to look for my parents.”

After a pause, Chief Yao continued: "When Lao Jiu discovered this situation, he brought a few people to catch him. Unexpectedly, the monk was very skilled in martial arts. Three of my men were knocked unconscious, and Lao Jiu was also used by the monk.

Killed by flying knives. After the imperial army arrived at the scene, the monk took the opportunity to snatch Lao Jiu's pistol, killed another imperial soldier, and then fled."

Yao Lin finally had a full understanding of the ins and outs of the matter, and he translated the entire conversation to Qingtian.

"Come here to find your parents?"

After hearing this, Qingtian said slowly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

He pointed to the bodies of Lao Jiu and the soldier on the ground and said, "Look at their wounds."

Yao Lin didn't know why, so he took two steps forward to carefully examine the wounds of the two deceased people, and saw a dagger stuck deeply into Lao Jiu's neck.

The soldier, who had a bullet hole in his forehead, was shot in the head with a bullet and died.

Yao Lin saw this and was secretly frightened.

He was originally a gangster. When he first went to Shanghai, he stayed in a gang for a few months and met many ruthless characters, including many masters with outstanding marksmanship.

But as Yao Baochang said, that monk has sharp fists and kicks, can defeat many with one person, and is good at throwing knives and spears. This kind of person is really unheard of.

If such an expert came to Yaojia Town just to find his parents, Yao Lin would be the first to not believe it.

Yao Lin believed that his master's worries were reasonable. The monk might have an ulterior secret when he came to Yaojia Town, so he must be caught and tortured.

Yao Lin immediately expressed his thoughts.

"Well...that makes sense."

Qingtian was convinced of this: "The identity of this person is indeed very suspicious. I have reason to suspect that he is a secret agent of the Chinese army, and he was ordered to come here to find out our true identity so that we can take follow-up military actions."

Yao Lin was shocked when he heard this——

This unexpected flood swept away mortars and other weapons and equipment.

At present, all the weapons of the imperial soldiers are the rifles and grenades they carry with them, and there is not enough ammunition.

Since the floods cut off traffic, the following troops did not know that it would take a year and a month to arrive here.

If, as Lieutenant Qingtian said, that man is the spy of the national army, then Yaojia Town will be in danger.

Once that person goes back to report the news, the dozens of imperial troops in front of him may all have to answer here.

Qingtian continued his analysis: "I still don't know how he sneaked into Yaojia Town. But since this person ventured into this town, it shows that he is very courageous. He will not easily do it without getting enough information.

Leave here. I guess he is probably somewhere outside the ancestral hall. We must capture him and dig out some information from his mouth."

Yao Lin responded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right! We must hurry up and not let him escape, otherwise Yaojia Town may not be able to be saved!"

Qingtian nodded and ordered to go down and divide the 50 Japanese soldiers into 10 teams, led by Yao Baozhang's dog legs, to search the houses within the wooden fence range from house to house.

He specifically confessed: "This man is a sharpshooter and very dangerous. You must be more careful in your actions and try to catch him alive. I will interrogate him personally."

The Japanese soldiers in charge of the search all agreed unanimously, then lit up torches, filed out, and launched a blanket search across the town overnight.

Qingtian looked up at the bright moon hanging in the sky: "I hope I can hear the good news before dawn."

Yao Lin echoed from the side: "With so many imperial soldiers moving at the same time, the monk will definitely be unable to escape. Lord Qingtian can rest assured."

"No, no, no, I have a hunch that this is a very difficult opponent. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to catch him."
