?The soldiers on the military camp were practicing. Yuwen Wen was standing on the stage with the military leader Chen Wudi standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the busy scene in front of him. He practiced for three days and took one day off. This one has been implemented since the founding of the new army.

"Eunuch, have the thief's nest not been found yet?" Chen Wudi asked. It was a rare "welfare" for the new soldiers to take turns to the city to be on duty. Following the owner of the city, the Sima Yang Ji of the state went out to search the mountains. That was the welfare of the welfare. Of course, the main business of the Yuwen envoy is important.

"If you have characteristics, you can't escape. You can find it no matter how you search along every road." Yuwen Wen said confidently, "I'm afraid of being serious in everything. He asked Yang Ji to send people to walk on all the roads in the Bazhou area to use this simplest and rough way to do a carpet-style search without fear of no results.

The state soldiers were the main force of this search. In order to prevent anyone from slacking off or perfunctory, he specially selected soldiers from the New Army as backbone to lead the team to search. There are rewards for announcements from various places in the state that there are no fear that no one will "lead the way".

"It's winter. Are the soldiers' bedding and winter clothes sufficient?" Yuwen Wen asked. Seeing Brother Chen nodding, he turned around and stepped down to walk towards the camp. No matter how busy or tired he was, he had to take time to come to the military camp. This is his soldier, and no one can interfere.

Since the construction of the military camp began at the beginning of the year, Yuwen Wen has personally planned the site and will never be flooded. This is especially true for the barracks where the soldiers live. It is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, so the drainage of the military camp is also done well, and the treatment of feces is taken into consideration.

The barracks, arsenals, grain warehouses and other warehouses are all brick structures, which can be said to be "specialized in materials". The outer walls of the barracks are brick-paved instead of wooden fences and rammed earth walls. There are several main arrow towers that are brick-paved to prevent fire attacks. It can be said that this barracks were repaired according to the specifications of the fortress.

"Reign of the Army!" One after another, shouting sounded. The soldiers Yuwen Wen saw along the way all the way were called him. Although he had already received the title of "Emeng" of a higher level, he was still quite helpful.

He nodded and said that he would chat about family matters from time to time. The names of nearly 3,000 soldiers were kept firmly in his mind, but it was not enough to just remember. You must meet frequently to clearly distinguish the other person's appearance. This is what Yuwen Wen firmly believes in.

He has a beautiful wife and concubine at home, but he will not forget his roots. If there is no soldier you can fight these days, then any family business is full of beauty. If you are accidentally defeated, then any family fortune is useless.

He walked into a barracks casually to check the internal affairs. The barracks were made of bricks and made two feet above the ground, which could prevent the bedding mat from being easily dirty. When the tide is resumption in spring, the water vapor on the ground will not cause the mat to be soaked, moist and moldy.

"Everyone has celebrated this year's Spring Festival in Bazhou. Are the things for the New Year ready?" Yuwen Wen came to the warehouse and asked. He took the new army to serve as the end of the year. He needed these soldiers to fight against local snakes. If he asked the soldiers home for the New Year, he would be 'not dead if he didn't do it'.

"Please rest assured that you will not lose the soldiers whether it is food, meat or other things." Xiong Dali, the owner of the pavilion, said on the side. He was the person in charge of the inventory. In order to prevent the custody and steal the warehouse in the military camp from time to time, he would immediately draw people to check the soldiers in the pavilion. Now Xiong Dali is responsible for the soldiers in the pavilion.

"Also, those newly enlisted soldiers should walk more and not let them feel neglected."

From the Battle of Lianghekou to the fierce battle under Jiangling City, the new army accepted nearly 500 prisoners. Some of them were from Jiangnan and some from Guanzhong. Although they had no worries, they were far away from their hometowns and were inevitably homesick at the end of the year.

"During the holidays, I miss my family more. If the staff of writing letters is not enough, the official will be transferred from the state yamen and the money will be paid." Yuwen Wen knew the reason why a letter from home was worth tens of thousands of dollars, so he always attached great importance to the need for soldiers to write letters home to report their safety.

Because there was no holiday, Yuwen Wen also launched a new benefit: delivering New Year's goods home. His mansion in Anlu became a purchasing point for soldiers' New Year's goods. The Bazhou military camp was responsible for counting the needs of each soldier and then sending it to Anlu to make purchasing there to avoid many inconveniences in long-distance transportation. Of course, the expenses had to be deducted from military pay.

In the Tongzhou, soldiers from the same townsmen selected representatives to return to Anlu with their letters, and brought the New Year’s goods, money and letters from their respective townsmen to distribute them to each household and then brought the reply letters. Of course, this also requires the assistance of officials from each prefecture and county, so there is no need for errands, but this is nothing to Yuwen Wen because the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

After walking around, Yuwen Wen was very satisfied with the current situation. While talking to the generals, a soldier suddenly came to tell the story that Zheng Zhubo sent someone to the military camp to spread the news. After completing the procedures, he learned that the thief villa that detained Zhang Li's family had been found.

......

In the state prison, Yuwen Wen got out of the carriage and hurriedly walked in. Master Bo Zhengtong had been waiting for a long time to lead him to a cell and tried to say the matter in concise words:

After several days of searching the villa where Zhang Li was detained, he found it, and twenty miles east of the official road where the carriage that Zhang Li was riding had broken down that day. As they had previously speculated, the carriage turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

When the villa was found, the appearance did change: the gate and walls were painted with different colors. After the changes in these two most obvious places, the state government sent someone to search and passed by the door, but it was impossible to confirm that it was what Zhang Li said about the thief nest.

"I'm lucky to ask if I asked about the clue that I was going down the road and then turned left and arrived at the villa, otherwise I would have no clue." Zheng Tong said with great gratitude, "When the state soldiers who were exploring the way first saw this village, they sent someone to inform others to stay and stare. Yang Sima led the people and rushed in and rushed in."

Zheng Tong said that the villa was empty at that time. It seemed that the people in the villa were in a hurry and even kept many valuable things without moving. Yang Sima sent people around in the villa to search for it for the time being, but he did not find anything that could prove the identity of the owner of the villa.

However, it is always good to find a place. I interrogated the people of the surrounding villages and learned that there were carriages frequently entering and leaving the villa a few days ago. Judging by this, the thief quickly transferred the servants to avoid falling into the hands of the government when they learned the news.

"Yang Sima is now stationed in the villa with people and said that she wants to scrape the ground three feet away and she has to find clues."

Yuwen Wen heard the other party say this and then asked Yang Ji how many people were in the villa. Zheng Tong said that there were about fifty people. Yuwen Wen said that it was not safe enough. If the thieves counterattacked, it would be dangerous.

"Zhang Yu. Take someone with the token of my official to find Ren Changshi to transfer one hundred state soldiers with bows, arrows, swords, guns, and dry food to support Yang Sima!"

Seeing Zhang Yu leaving in a hurry, Yuwen Wen asked Zheng Tong why he notified him to come to the state prison. Zheng Tong said that the person was not caught, but someone said that it was a servant in the villa who saw that there was a reward and wanted to sue the official.

"I'm going to have a pillow when I'm sleepy, is it such a coincidence?" Yuwen Wen stopped and asked. He didn't think he was lucky. "Since that man is working in the villa, how can he know that the state yamen is offering a reward outside?"

"Also, the thief should have escaped after he fled with all his servants?"

"Zheng Zhubo, is it because you are eager to solve the case?"

Zheng Tong hurriedly explained that the other party said he was going out to buy, so he got the news. Seeing that the owner of the villa was helpless, he thought that it would be over sooner or later, so he secretly found an opportunity to slip away. Later, when he saw that the government had come to him, he simply gave up his head for the reward.
