After Wang Yin's death, Liu Yi traced the secret passage in the backyard, but when Guan Hai took people in to investigate, it was already empty, and the secret passage passed through the back wall and opened an exit outside.

There are all kinds of signs that in Xiangping City, there must be a secret agent of Gongsun Du.

Taishou House.

Liu Yi said with a heavy heart: "Sir, although the condition in the city is under control now, Wang Yin is dead, and there are no clues, but there are other spies in the city, but there is a way to let this group of snakes, insects and ants show up." ”

Li Tao thought for a while, and said cautiously: "Lord, after this experience, presumably these secret agents will be more restrained, and it is indeed not easy to track them down for a while and a half, unless you can come to lure the snake out of the hole." ”

"Lure the snake out of the hole?"

Liu Yi chattered and asked puzzledly, "Please also teach me." ”

"The lord can ........."

Li Tao said a lot, and the more he listened to Liu Yi, the more fascinated he became, and now the two of them had decided to discuss it, so they started to act separately.

……

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

In Xiangping City, gongs sounded everywhere, and the people who beat the gongs shouted as they walked: "Everyone, go to the Taishou Mansion to see, Lord Taishou is holding a trial of the criminal Wang Yin." ”

"Is it the dog thief who poisoned it?"

The person who struck the gong replied: "Of course, I heard that there are also comrades who are being executed at this time and tortured to extract confessions. ”

"Really?"

"How can you be a fake!"

At dusk, the court is too guarded.

Liu Yi was dressed in an official robe and sat on a high seat, surrounded by officials on both sides, and in the middle of the kneeling was a man with a cloak and a disheveled head, wearing a flail and a lock, burying his head low.

"Wang Yin, you colluded with the traitors, in order to harm the people in the city, the crime is extremely evil, and it has already caused disaster to your family, Ben Taishou will give you a chance to make meritorious service with the crime, as long as you recruit the mastermind behind the scenes, Ben Taishou will exempt the punishment of the fifty-two people in your house."

"To recruit, or not to recruit?"

Liu Yi shouted.

The kneeling Wang Yin was like a dead man, still motionless.

"Come on, give me a rod and beat me twenty!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

……

After the twenty rods were beaten, Wang Yin's buttocks bloomed instantly, the flesh and blood were blurred, and he screamed in pain.

"My lord, I'll recruit, I'll recruit ......"

Before Wang Yin could finish speaking, the person fainted.

Liu Yi immediately shouted: "This thief doesn't live long like this, County Cheng, you find a Langzhong, rescue him first, check all night, find out the spies behind the scenes, and tomorrow morning, the official will come to judge this matter again." ”

"Yes!"

The county leader led two officials and dragged Wang Yin down.

It was also quietly dark.

The people who watched the excitement also went back, and the news spread in all directions, no one knew about it, no one knew it, and all of a sudden, everyone in the city knew that there were spies in the city, and everyone was extra cautious.

In the thatched hut in the east of the city, a beggar stumbled in, cooing three times, and two three-clothed men flashed out of it, one of whom was the one who escaped from Wang Yin's mansion.

"The three masters, the big thing is not good, then Wang Yin confessed."

"What!"

A man in black said in astonishment.

"This dog thief, he can't be left behind."

The beggar said: "I can't live, my buttocks are blooming, blood is spitting all over the place, the government has been checking again overnight, and the person in charge is the new county Cheng Zhao Tai, and the villain is afraid that he will sell the three masters." ”

"Big brother, what should I do?"

The two men in black asked the man in black who was in charge.

"Now that the government has taken precautions, there is only one way to break into the prison, unless you ......"

"Big brother, you say! Unless what? ”

Only then did the man in black in charge say slowly: "Unless we take advantage of Zhao Tai's return to the house tonight, we will kill him without stopping, and we will have no clue about this matter." ”

"Big brother has a point!"

The man in black in charge said, "Little beggar, go and find three sets of shabby clothes for us." ”

The three of them changed their outfits, dressed as beggars, and quietly touched the way Zhao Tai had to return home, hiding in the dark alley.

It was close to midnight, and there was silence all around, and the three of them were almost impatient, so the little beggar ran over and exclaimed, "Here comes only one servant to follow." ”

"God help me! Second brother, third brother, get ready to do it! ”

Zhao Tai walked over with the servant, and as soon as he turned around and entered the alley, he was immediately surrounded, only to see three beggars holding steel knives and slashing them fiercely.

"Help!"

Zhao Tai shouted urgently.

said that it was too late, and then it was fast, but I saw that the official behind Zhao Tai instantly pulled out the saber on his waist, and snorted coldly: "Grandpa Guan Hai has been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

Guan Hai?

Zhao Tai felt a cluster in his heart, isn't he a subordinate general who guards the Lord too much?

Guan Hai waved his knife, stopped the steel knives of the three people, and sneered: "When grandpa was robbing the house in Qingzhou, his actions were much sharper than yours, look at the knife!" ”

"Bang!"

Guan Hai's hand was fast, and he slashed down a beggar's steel knife with one knife, and turned around with another oblique slash, forcing the two people behind him to retreat.

"Fence it off!"

At the same time, at some point, a group of officers and soldiers flashed inside and outside the alley, and the person at the head was Li Tao.

The little beggar who had reported the news had been caught, his hands were tied behind his back, a large ball of cloth was stuffed in his mouth, and he was struggling with a pitiful face.

The saber in Guan Hai's hand slashed left and right, and after a while, the three of them were powerless to fight back, and then the three were captured alive by the officers and soldiers who rushed up.

……

"Lord, the people have been caught, but unfortunately the three people in charge have killed themselves by biting their tongues, and the remaining beggar doesn't know much, he only knows that this secret agent is called the Eagle Guard, how many people there are, and who they obey, all of them don't know."

Liu Yi was amazed and said: "This eagle guard doesn't seem to be simple, all of them are dead soldiers, damn it, I don't know how much this Gongsun Du has raised?" ”

Li Tao sighed: "Gongsun Du is originally a native of Xiangping, Liaodong, not only served as Shang Shulang in Luoyang, but also served as an official in Xuansu County. ”

"Dog thief, traitor, sooner or later, I will crush him to ashes."

After Liu Yi scolded, he personally handwrote a letter and handed it to Guan Haidao: "You choose two trustworthy generals, send the letter to the first village in the world in Zhuo County, and hand it over to the owner Xiao Rang." ”

"No!"

Guan Hai took the letter, went to the Qingzhou camp in person, found the two most intimate brothers, selected two good horses, and let them set off immediately.

Come and don't be rude, Gongsun Du has Eagle Guard, and he also has Shenji Pavilion.

At the same time, Liu Yi realized that the end of the Han Dynasty was far from being as simple as he thought, and the conspiracy and trickery of espionage and secret warfare were everywhere, and it was really step by step.

"My lord, there's another thing down there."

Liu Yi hurriedly asked, "Sir, please speak." ”

Li Tao said slowly: "It is inevitable that the lord and Liaoxi will fight each other, and it is necessary to prepare as soon as possible, once Gongsun Du blocks the road of the caravan, Liaodong will become a lonely place, which is not conducive to later operations, when the sea should be opened as soon as possible, bypassing Liaoxi, and obtaining supplies from Qingzhou." ”

"What the gentleman said is true! The matter was entrusted to the gentleman, and as for the money, the gentleman did not have to think about it, but first allocated five thousand taels of gold to the gentleman for preliminary preparations. ”

Five thousand taels!

Li Tao was a little embarrassed, his own father-in-law was really different, he regarded money like dung, and he didn't look at it at all.
