"Look for Mayor Zhao?" The puppet army took the cigarette but still looked at Hu Fei with suspicion. "What's wrong with Mayor Zhao? Don't you know that the martial law is on the street now? Running around the streets, be careful to arrest you as a volunteer army and shoot you!"

"Yes, yes, we were negligent. Our brothers just came from Haicheng, and the eldest prince over there asked Mayor Zhao for important matters. Otherwise, why are we going so anxious? Okay, my brothers are busy, let's see you back!"

The cigarette was sent out, and Hu Fei waved his hand and was called away again. A puppet army came over to hand him a piece of cardboard. The paper sized by the cigarette box was printed with words, which were written with the words "pass". It turned out that I had to walk around the city today!

A pack of cigarettes exchanged for a pass is a good deal. When I met the Japanese puppet army blocking the road again, I took out the pass and shook it in front of me. Those who blocked the road immediately let it go. Hu Fei and the other two were unobstructed!

The mayor Zhao Zhiqiang is not from Niuzhuang. The town hall lives in Niu Jingui, the former mayor of Niuzhuang. As for the mayor Zhao, he has always lived in the home of his relative Zhao Shoufu. Zhao Shoufu's home is very easy to find. There are three artillery towers around and the large mansion in the middle that is surrounded by the finished font. It is the place where Zhao Shoufu is now staying.

You could see the three tall artillery towers from a distance. When Hu Fei attacked Niuzhuang for the first time, Gu Zhaoxiang led reinforcements before he could reach the artillery tower. The only one who had launched an attack on these three artillery towers was the cavalry led by Sun Laoliu. Otherwise, how could the cavalry lose such a big loss?

Hu Fei hasn't walked up to him and looked carefully. Now that he has this pass in his hand, he just happened to be reconnaissance nearby!

The artillery tower is like three round chimneys, but it is much thicker than the chimney. There are shooting holes around it, and there are squatters like city walls on the top. From a distance, you can see the Japanese on the top of the artillery tower standing guard with guns. There are barbed wire fences under the artillery tower, and pedestrians are not allowed to approach. There are puppet troops patrolling inside the wire fence.

If you want to break through the defense of these three artillery towers, unless the three volunteers from Shaling are all coming, it will be useless if Hu Fei and these hundreds of people come! Even if Gu Zhaoxiang did not come last time, Hu Fei could not break through the defense line composed of these three artillery towers!

Hu Fei was not afraid of checking with the pass in his hand. He walked along the way to the checkpoint between the two artillery towers. The card was a Japanese mansion with four puppet troops, with a total of five people inspecting the pedestrians coming and going. The people passing by here were basically the people in the mansion in the middle.

Zhao Shoufu's family is so big, and there are probably hundreds of long-term workers, short-term workers, cooks, and old mothers at home. Do these people usually not be allowed to go out to buy vegetables and shop? Do vendors selling food outside sometimes do not deliver goods to their doorsteps? Therefore, although there are not many people passing these clips, they are still scattered and constantly.

Hu Fei successfully passed the checkpoint with his pass, and the big mansion of Zhao Shoufu's family was right in front of him.

Hu Fei was about to walk forward, but a group of people next to Zhao's house attracted his attention. It was a group of ordinary people blocked by a few Japanese.

Since the first time he came to Niuzhuang, Hu Fei saw a single Japanese with a few puppet troops, at most two. He had never seen three Japanese gather together. Five Japanese gathered in this corner at once, which made him more curious.

The people who were crowded together were wearing coarse clothes and coarse shoes, and they were obviously the most ordinary working people at the bottom. Why did the Japanese stop these people? Hu Fei deliberately slowed down and looked at the group of people with his eyes slanted.

There are about twenty ordinary people, five Japanese, and three wearing black silk shirts standing with the Japanese. This combination is normal. Usually, it is either a puppet army or a traitor next to the Japanese. It is very common for three traitors wearing black silk shirts to act as interpreters for the Japanese.

Hu Fei always felt something was wrong. His eyes swept over the faces of these people and fell on the face of one of the traitors. Oh! Isn’t this Zhao Zhiqiang, the mayor of Tianzhuangtai? Isn’t this guy enjoying his happiness at his relative’s house? Why did he run out? Seeing the main owner, Hu Fei didn’t plan to enter the big mansion in front of him. He came to find Zhao Zhiqiang. If he was outside, why did he go into the yard?

Hu Fei knew Zhao Zhiqiang, and Zhao Zhiqiang knew him too! In order to avoid being recognized, Hu Fei made a gesture to Sun Laoliu behind him, and the three of them avoided the gate and walked down a small path next to him. The wealthy families like Zhao Shoufu, long-time workers and servants generally do not go to the main entrance. They enter and exit the courtyard from the small door next to the courtyard. Since there is this small path that is broken out on the way to the gate, it must be the small door.

The two sides of the road were green, the breeze was blowing, and the birds were chirping, which was a great place to stroll. However, Hu Fei was not in the mood to observe the picturesque scenery here. As soon as he walked into the path, he saw that no one was paying attention to them. The three of them immediately used the protection of the trees to touch the crowd there. Zhao Zhiqiang was there, and Hu Fei wanted to take a good look at this old acquaintance.

Zhao Zhiqiang was also angry. He encountered this when he was about to go out to the town today! The two people next to him were his two bodyguards. While the three were walking out, they met five Japanese soldiers. These Japanese soldiers were urging more than 20 people out with bayonets on the edge of the woods.

Those who walk back and forth on this road are related to the Zhao family compound. Although Zhao Zhiqiang is not the owner of this compound, he lives in this yard now. Besides, since the day he came here, his cousin Zhao Shoufu has treated him as the head of the family, and even handed him the key to the house. If there is something wrong with the Zhao family, can he ignore it?

Zhao Zhiqiang felt that the Japanese were malicious, so he came over to question the Japanese soldiers what they wanted to do. He didn't know whether this group of ordinary people were servants of the Zhao family, but since something happened at this door, he, the actual head of the Zhao family, had to come out to ask about the situation.

A sergeant in the Japanese soldiers told him that they were searching for spies!

Japanese people are rough in nature, and it is common to say that it is wrong to kill people in the street. Although Zhao Zhiqiang and Muto Yuichiro from Haicheng have a little unclear relationship, he is unwilling to offend these Japanese soldiers on the spot, they are obviously rough Japanese soldiers!

Fortunately, the sergeant was good in Chinese, and after a few words, Zhao Zhiqiang understood the whole story. It turned out that these twenty or so people were not workers and servants in the Zhao family compound. They were workers who built artillery towers, and were part of the hundreds of people who Zhao Zhiqiang led the Japanese and puppet troops to arrest from the town.
