Chapter 211 Agu Temple
The woman burning incense under the big banyan tree held the basket and stood up and started walking south. The woman who came out of Yang Sheng's house was also walking south with a food box. The woman looked slightly and looked at the woman burning incense.
When she walked to the south entrance of Rongshu Street, the woman turned west, and the woman with the basket went to the east without looking back. The woman looked back and breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a shop at the intersection of brick and stone streets. There were flags hanging outside the door, and the word "ri" floated on it. The woman walked westward, and a young man in short clothes walked out of the rice shop, carrying a cloth bag and walking in front of her.
The woman stopped and squatted on the side of the road to open the food box to pretend to organize her things. When she stood up, she saw the man in short clothes continuing to move forward and gradually walked away.
She then turned around and walked eastward. She was about to walk the east road just now, and she felt that the woman burning incense was a little strange, so she deliberately walked in the opposite direction.
The woman was very careful, but she found that no one was following her, so she walked forward.
Near Mufu is a relatively wealthy place in Yunnan. There are many people on the streets in the afternoon, and the women do not look around. But whenever they reach an intersection, they turn around and stand by the wall for a while, pretending to wait for someone to see if there are any suspicious signs of people coming behind.
She walked towards the south gate of the city, and after looking at it several times, she gradually felt relieved. Perhaps because she had followed others, she was always worried that she would be followed.
Soon the woman arrived at the south city gate, and a group of soldiers wearing strong and holding sharp edges stood at the gate, but they ignored the woman's intentions at all.
According to the law, the people of Ming Dynasty could not leave their hometown for a hundred miles; farmers were from the village chief, and the head of the family could not leave the land for a mile. If the people wanted to leave their hometown, they needed a road guide issued by the county government so that they could pass through the passes and the city gates. However, the law was one thing, and the facts in various places were completely different.
Most of the people who go out to hold road guides are scholars, and they are familiar with the government. Other people have almost no road guides, or there are refugees, peddlers and pawns, and all the various religions and illegals run around, and there are so many people in the prison. Generally speaking, cities with a large population do not have so many people, so they are unable to manage them, and they don’t want to manage them... There is no benefit. Generally, there are only two situations that will be stopped at the city gate: one is to bring goods and have to pay money; the other is that if something happens, the city is martial law, and the officers and soldiers will check the people entering and leaving the city gate in detail.
So the woman walked out of the city gate silently and continued to walk south along the road. She soon arrived at Liuba Village in the southern suburbs.
She walked straight to Agu Temple and walked into the temple under the plaque "Jie Zhu Songming", and saw a scholar in a robe looking around inside.
It is not uncommon. Some literati and poets often come to wander around in this temple. The woman brought out the food in the food box, placed it on the table, bowed three times, and then left with the empty food box.
She walked to a white-walled tiled house, knocked on the door, and said, "I'm back."
Soon the door opened and the woman walked in.
...In a yard on Rongshu Street next to Mu Mansion, Zhu Gaoxu and several people were sitting or standing, waiting in the main hall.
Yesterday evening, Zhu Gaoxu came with the Guardian Quan Brave Team. He first divided the spies into many squads, each with four people.
This morning, Zhu Gaoxu saw the woman entering the yard diagonally opposite, and first informed everyone: the target woman's appearance, figure, age and other characteristics. Then he presets people at various intersections in the city according to the neighborhood map of Yunnan Fucheng.
The woman burning incense is the family of one of the spies. In addition, four people guarded each end of the Banyan Street.
As soon as the woman went out, Zhu Gaoxu immediately sent someone to inform each team of the woman's clothes and carrying a food box.
...At that time, the target woman chose to walk south, and the incense-burning woman followed. When he arrived at the south end of Rongshu Street, the woman turned to the west again; the spy in the rice shop at the intersection followed, replaced the incense-burning woman and took over the target.
At that time, except for the woman who came from Rongshu Street, spies were deployed at the end of the streets in the other three directions, and they were the second team of troops.
The mipu spy followed the street, but the woman turned around halfway; the mipu spy let go of her target and continued to walk forward. But when the woman returned to the south entrance of Rongshu Street, there was a miracle waiting there to take over the target.
Because Zhu Gaoxu's pre-set manpower was spread out in geometric ranges from near the stronghold, and the manpower was very dense; so the woman could not get rid of the rape spy at the beginning of the road.
Then the woman walked eastward to the end of the street, waiting for the spy there to take over. The spy followed him and when he found that his own person appeared, he changed the person again.
If no one takes over after three streets, or the woman notices it, today's mission will be cancelled to avoid alarming the enemy. Then everyone will have to wait for the next opportunity.
Maybe they had rewarded two spies before and inspired the army. Everyone worked very hard today. The spy successfully followed the woman to the south gate. The generals at the south gate immediately sent people to a few places nearby Liuba Village. One of the team happened to wait for the woman in Liuba Village, and the tracking was over.
...Zhu Gaoxu was still waiting at the Rongshu Street stronghold.
At this moment, a young general in a scribe robe carried a small cloth bag and walked in quickly and knelt down on one knee. Zhu Gaoxu and others immediately turned their heads and their eyes were gathered on the young general's face.
The general clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Report to the prince, the woman left the south city gate, went to Liuba Village, and entered a white-walled house with lime. The last one brought this item back." He presented the cloth bag.
Liu Ying next to Zhu Gaoxu came forward to take it and put it on the square wooden table to open it. It turned out to be a large thick bowl with food inside.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced sideways and asked, "Why did you bring this thing back?"
The general replied, "The woman arrived at Liuba Village and went to Agu Temple first and offered this bowl of rice to the pedestal. Finally, she pretended to come out of the temple and asked the brothers hidden behind the statue to continue squatting. No one came to pick it up for a long time, so he took the bowl back."
"Let's open and check it." Zhu Gaoxu said.
After he said that, he asked the general again, "Isn't the woman discovered it on the road?"
The general said, "It should be foolproof when he replied to the prince, so the woman went straight to the 'thief' in Liuba Village. There were very few people outside in Liuba Village. When the general was afraid that the villagers would arouse suspicion, he came back first after seeing the place. He left only a soldier hiding in the fishing shed outside the village and staring at him."
Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
At this time, Wang Bin smiled and said, "The prince's method is a bit troublesome, but it is really useful. I will admire it!"
