Chapter 170?
Walking out of the central army tent, Tian Bin patted his head and looked at Dong Yuansheng and spoke.
"Brother Dong, I forgot to report to the adults about Li Xiangyang and Wan Nian Shao."
Dong Yuansheng waved his hand indifferently.
"Brother Tian, I know that this is not a big deal. The most important thing at the moment is how to capture the spies of the thief Li Zicheng without showing any silence. After catching these spies, we will report to the master. I haven't thanked you just now. I did what I did to kill two spies. You helped me take the responsibility. Thank you, brother."
Tian Bin snorted softly.
"What a big deal, is it worthy of your thanks? I wondered, the nine spies under the thief Li Zicheng were all staying in the restaurant. They were very smart and chose the largest restaurant in the city. There were many people living in it and there were a lot of people eating. How can we capture them without showing any silence and escort them to the military camp?"
Dong Yuansheng smiled and spoke indifferently.
"Brother Tian, don't worry. We just don't want to cause trouble in the city, so as not to arouse everyone's curiosity. The entire Dezhou Prefecture City is under our control. Could it be that they can still escape?"
Tian Bin looked at Dong Yuansheng, shook his head, and his expression became serious.
"Brother Dong, we cannot take it lightly. Didn't the Lord just say that Lord Yang will come to Dezhou tomorrow. When he was in Nanjing, the emperor said that the most important opponent of the court at present is the Later Jin Tartars, followed by the thief Li Zicheng and the bandit Zhang Xianzhong. If the Later Jin Tartars and the thief Li Zicheng fight against each other, it will be the most beneficial to the court."
Dong Yuansheng thought for a moment and gave Tian Bin a thumbs up.
"Brother Tian, you are still powerful. You still have to make a decision at critical moments. I remember all the words the emperor said, but after encountering something, I can't remember it for a while."
In just half a quarter of an hour, Tian Bin, Dong Yuansheng and several scouts came to a shop not far from the restaurant. They did not enter the shop directly from the front, but took a detour and entered the shop from the back door.
Two sergeants in coarse cloth clothes quickly entered the shop and came to the backyard of the shop.
"Report to the two masters Qianhu, there is no movement in the restaurant for the time being, but two spies came out to wander around, maybe they were observing the spies to see if they were back."
Dong Yuansheng blinked his eyes and a sneer appeared on his face.
"They are quite alert. They have obviously gone to the government office to prepare to submit the documents, so what else can I worry about?"
Tian Bin also spoke with a sneer.
"If you don't do anything bad, you won't be so worried. You'll be more honest when you come to Texas. You go out and run around every day. You also specifically promote Li Zicheng's greatness. Isn't this asking for death?"
A few minutes later, Tian Bin and Dong Yuansheng all left the shop. The two returned to their previous merchants and walked towards the restaurant side by side. More than ten soldiers following around seemed to scatter casually. Four of them guarded the door of the restaurant, and the rest followed Tian Bin and Dong Yuansheng into the restaurant.
It wasn't time for dinner yet, and there were very few people in the lobby on the first floor. Tian Bin, who was walking in front, looked casually, and the four spies were sitting next to a table on the far right of the lobby.
A "drunk man" entered the lobby, knocked away Tian Bin, Dong Yuansheng and others, and staggered towards the right. The "drunk man" looked at the table on the far right and chose to sit down next to him.
"My man, hurry up and get some wine, hurry up..."
The "drunk man" knocked on the table hard while talking.
The few people in the lobby all cast strange looks.
At this moment, Tian Bin and Dong Yuansheng exchanged glances. Tian Bin stayed. Dong Yuansheng slowly headed towards the stairs. The two had already clearly divided the work. Tian Bin dealt with the four spies in the lobby, Dong Yuansheng dealt with the five spies in the building, and the rest of the soldiers also had clear division of the work. Six of them followed Dong Yuansheng upstairs, and the other five were staying in the lobby with Tian Bin.
The guy was probably afraid of the "drunk man" and didn't come forward for a long time. The "drunk man" saw a pot of wine on the table next to him, stood up and walked over with a hazy look on his face.
"This, there is wine here. I'll drink it first. I'll pay you later if my friend comes to drink wine..."
The "drunk man" was ready to grab the wine pot on the table without saying a word. One of the four spies couldn't help it, stood up, pushed the "drunk man" away with his hands, and spoke with anger.
"Where did the bastard come from? Are you drinking this wine casually..."
The "drunk man" was pushed and staggered and almost fell down. His expression changed instantly. He stared at the four people in front of him.
"Why, I thought you had too many people, so I was afraid. I still have to drink today..."
Seeing the "drunk man" preparing to go forward to grab the wine pot, Tian Bin winked and five soldiers followed him forward.
"My brothers, forget it, aren't you just drunk? Don't you have to worry about him..."
When one of the sergeants pushed a spy away, he used a little force on his hand, and the spy was pushed and staggered.
The quarrel quickly appeared, and a dissuasion act quickly turned into a quarrel between the two parties. Several people in the lobby quickly stood up and walked outside. When the shopkeeper and the clerk saw this scene, they did not dare to go forward and make a sound.
After all the people in the lobby left, Tian Bin stepped forward.
Everyone quickly took action, including the "drunk man" who had been earlier, rushed forward and overturned a spy.
The four spies were caught off guard and had no time to resist, so they were completely controlled. One of the spies wanted to open their mouths and shout, and a soldier took out a sharp knife and pressed his throat. The spies were pale and dared not speak anymore.
The quarrels in the lobby attracted the attention of the guests upstairs, and many people walked out and stood in the corridor to watch the fun.
The six soldiers led by Dong Yuansheng have already arrived outside the room where the remaining five spies are staying.
When the door opened, the six people were divided into two groups. Dong Yuansheng led two sergeants into one of the houses, while the other four sergeants rushed into another house.
The noise and fighting sounds of the lobby covered everything upstairs. The guests in the corridor were all paying attention to the movements in the lobby. No one noticed what happened in the corridor. Even if someone occasionally saw it, he would not talk too much.
In just a few minutes, footsteps sounded outside the restaurant, and more than ten soldiers rushed in.
"What's wrong? Is there anyone fighting here? I'm too brave..."
Tian Bin hurried forward with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Jun, there is no fight, it's all a trivial matter, we can handle it ourselves."
The sergeant led the way to push Tian Bin away, looked at the overturned tables and chairs, and snorted heavily.
"Hmph, the fight is in broad daylight, and we don't take our brothers seriously, and we don't say anything, and take them all away. What do you have to say to the yamen."
The sergeant looked up and saw many people looking at the corridor and spoke in dissatisfaction.
"Everyone goes back. If anyone continues to watch, he will be a member of the party, and he will take them all to the yamen..."
Before the sergeant could finish his words, no one could be seen in the corridor.
The soldiers took Tian Bin and others to leave, and the five spies escorted by Dong Yuansheng and others also came down from the building.
Dong Yuansheng looked at the shopkeeper and his friend with a sharp look.
The shopkeeper shrank his neck and clasped his fists at Dong Yuansheng.
"Customer, I saw nothing, I saw nothing."
Dong Yuansheng looked at the broken tables and chairs in the lobby, went forward, took out broken silver from his arms and handed it over.
"This is a loss to replenish you. You and your guy have seen nothing. Don't talk nonsense."
...
Half an hour passed, Tian Bin and Dong Yuansheng came to the Central Army again, with smiles on their faces.
Seeing the expressions of the two, He Tengjiao also spoke with a smile.
"Tian Qianhu and Dong Qianhu, it seems that the action is going smoothly."
Tian Bin, who nodded vigorously, spoke up.
"Reporting to the master, it's very smooth. The remaining nine people were all in the restaurant and were still waiting for the news. They were all arrested. Just now, the scouts found a situation in the teahouse. Bei Zhi and Dong Qianhu were busy imprisoning the spy of the trespass Li Zicheng. They didn't have time to report that two scholars from Xuzhou came to Dezhou. One was named Li Xiangyang and the other was named Wannianshao. After bragging in the teahouse, they analyzed that these people might be people under Li Zicheng's command."
He Tengjiao nodded and tried hard to recall.
"Oh, this Li Xiangyang, I have heard that during the Tianqi period, I went to the capital to participate in the examination. Because I was dissatisfied with the abolition of power, I refused to participate in the examination. This caused a sensation in the capital. This person should be quite young, and I haven't heard of it. However, they could actually see that these people were under the command of the thief Li Zicheng. It's really good. Let the scouts continue to follow them and see what measures they might take next. Be cautious in action and don't be noticed by them."
He Tengjiao obviously didn't care much about Li Xiangyang and Wan Nianshao. Seeing this, Tian Bin wouldn't say much.
"Sir, Bei Zhi and Dong Qianhu discovered these fifteen spies. Will there be no spies not discovered? Today's restaurant fight will not be hidden for long. I am afraid that it will spread tomorrow. If the thief Li Zicheng also sent a spy, they will definitely know the situation and will they go back to report it."
He Tengjiao thought for a moment and shook his head.
"These spies have arrived at the government office and have to submit documents to the official, indicating that they do not care about exposing their identities. Therefore, even if there are spies in the city, they will not act immediately after knowing this. They will definitely wait and see, and they may wander around the government office. From now on, you must look at the spies imprisoned in the military camp, and pay attention to the situation outside the government office, and try to dig out all the spies sent by the treacherous Li Zicheng."
Tian Bin and Dong Yuansheng clasped their fists at the same time and responded in unison.
A quarter of an hour later, Dong Yuansheng led a dozen people away from the military camp and rushed towards the direction of the city...
