Chapter 1240: Identification
The book is picked up again.
"In the old days, a certain family pretended to be a buying servant of the Cao Mansion to buy vegetables there, and by the way, the news was revealed."
"......" After Cao Cao listened to the spy's words, he did not speak, but touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "Are you sure that you are the only spy in Lone's mansion?" ”
"This ......" After hearing Cao Caodong's inquiry, the spy was full of hesitation and said, "A certain family is not sure.
Because a certain family has not been in contact with other spies since they were sent to Cao Gong's mansion.
Therefore, a certain family does not know if there are other spies lurking here. ”
"......" After Cao Cao heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter.
Then he turned his gaze to Li Zhi, his eyes full of inquiry.
"......" Li Zhi was also frowning at this time, he had deep doubts about this matter!
Because he felt that the enemy was so cautious that it was impossible not to prepare with both hands!
So, there's a good chance there's a spy hiding here!
However, the hidden spy didn't show anything unusual, so it was difficult to catch him.
After thinking of this, Li Zhi suddenly remembered something, so he quickly raised his head and asked the spy: "Ben Hou asked you, why did you pretend to be a person who had a stroke, and how long did you go through spy training?" ”
After hearing Li Zhi's words, the spy immediately replied: "This is all taught by the Lord, and as for the training time, it is only a little more than a month." ”
"That's ......" After Li Zhi heard this, the look in his eyes slowly lit up.
After a while, he said to Cao Cao, "Brother Meng De, since the enemy can let Mr. Li accompany him as the one who has suffered a stroke, then the other spy must be a little strange.
Therefore, as long as Brother Meng De checks out who is different from ordinary people in the mansion, he can find out the spy. ”
Speaking of this, he said with some anxiety: "Remember, the difference in what a certain family says is not a difference in appearance, but a difference in behavior." ”
"Difference in behavior?" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, his brows furrowed tightly.
He really didn't understand why Li Zhi would say this, it is said that the training of spies is to train spies to be inconspicuous ordinary people, so that they can hide from the world.
Why did Li Zhihui say that the enemy's spies were different from others?
As if seeing Cao Cao's question, Li Zhi said with a smile: "Brother Meng De, even if you are a genius, it is impossible for you to become a powerful spy after only one month of spy training.
They don't know that the more ordinary they are, the more they can hide from others.
So, all these spies sent by the enemy have their own ideas!
Just like Mr. Li, he was a spy according to his own ideas, which is why he showed a stroke with a crooked mouth and nose.
I'm afraid he thinks that only this appearance will not attract the attention of others.
However, he didn't know that his appearance stood out from the crowd, which was very eye-catching!
If it weren't for his strong body, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to enter Cao's Mansion with his stroke!
And it is precisely because of this that I said that the other spy must also be dressed up according to his own ideas like Mr. Li.
And so it is
Come, he'll definitely show his flaws! ”
This is just like those actors who have not undergone professional training, although they think they act very similarly, but others will think that their acting skills are very poor and a little pretentious!
"I see...... Cao Cao also understood after listening to Li Zhi's explanation.
Then he glanced at the servants and ordered, "I guess you also heard the words of the virtuous brother of Xingzhi, right?"
Now, you can report those who are different from the rest of the world!
Whoever can help Gu find out the spy, then Gu will release him, give him a fortune, and arrange a petty official to do it! ”
"Whoa......" All the slaves became excited after hearing Cao Cao's words.
Although it seems that Cao Cao did not promise much, it was just a little wealth and a small official.
But these things are coveted by slaves!
Don't say it's a petty official, even if you give them the position of a small official, they will fight for it!
Because once they become officials, their identities will immediately become different!
In the past, they were inferior to merchants, but once they became officials, they would immediately be promoted to "scholars" in the "Shinong Industry and Commerce"!
It can be said that the moment they become officials, not only will they improve their status, but even their families will instantly become more glorious eunuchs than ordinary people!
With this temptation, all the slaves were excited.
Some were looking around to see if anyone was looking strange, while others were pondering who was different from the others among the slaves they had known in the past.
After a long time, a man finally stood up and shouted with excitement on his face: "Master, the little one has found a person, and he is probably a spy." ”
"Oh?" After Cao Cao heard this person's words, he waved with excitement on his face and said, "Come on, come on, tell me quickly, who is it?" What's unusual? ”
After the slave heard Cao Cao's words, he immediately came to Cao Cao with excitement on his face, turned around, pointed to a slave and said loudly: "It's him!"
Although the little one doesn't know his name, the little one has seen him sneaky out of the mansion! ”
"You talk nonsense!!" The identified slave stood up with a panicked face and retorted loudly: "The little one is not a spy, and the little one is definitely not a spy!" ”
After Cao Cao heard this person's words, he squinted his eyes and asked, "Since you are not a spy, why did you sneak out of the mansion in the first place?" ”
"This ......" After hearing Cao Cao's words, the designated slave was full of doubts, and he didn't know whether he should honestly explain or not.
But after he inadvertently looked up and saw the increasingly suspicious look on Cao Cao's face, he didn't dare to hide it anymore, and said with a bitter face: "Master Qiqi, the reason why the little one secretly stayed out of the mansion at the beginning was because there was a letter from the family saying that the little one's mother was seriously ill.
The little one wanted to ask for leave, but the housekeeper didn't allow it, so the little one could only sneak out of the mansion. ”
"Huh?" When Cao Cao heard the slave's words, he immediately turned his head and asked the butler, "Is there such a thing?" ”
"......" The butler heard this, and after carefully examining the slave for a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, it is true!
The slave was a creacherous and unconscientious servant, and repeatedly used his parents' name to ask for leave
After a long time, the old slave did not believe him.
When he asked for leave, the old slave thought he was lying, so he didn't agree to his leave.
I didn't expect it to be true!
This matter is the old slave's negligence, and he also asks the lord to atone for his sins. ”
"Humph! I see! After Cao Cao listened to the butler's explanation, he snorted coldly with displeasure on his face, and rebuked the identified slave: "The kindness of your parents is greater than heaven, you actually ask for leave in the name of your parents, what is the difference between this and cursing your parents?!"
It's true that you're not a spy, but you can't tolerate anyone like you! Come! Hit me with twenty sticks!! ”
"No!!" The two soldiers answered, and then dragged the ashamed slave down.
Subsequently, Cao Cao did not blame the identified slave, but said with a pleasant face: "Although you failed to find out the real spy, you are not to blame, and you can be regarded as a meritorious person."
In this way, Lone will give you a good reward and ten gold, what do you think? ”
"Thank you, master, thank you......" After hearing Cao Cao's words, the servant's face turned red with excitement, and he thanked him again and again.
Although Cao Cao did not reward him with an official position, didn't he also identify the real spy?
Therefore, he was already very satisfied with these rewards, and he did not dare to ask for anything else.
"Hehe......" Li Zhi on the side laughed slightly after seeing this.
In fact, he had already seen that Cao Cao was in the golden city!
He just wanted to use this slave to tell the others, just be eager to identify. Even if you don't identify the Spy, you'll be rewarded!
Sure enough, this trick was very useful, and after he rewarded the slave, the other slaves immediately recognized it loudly as if they were crazy.
"Master, the little one should be identified ......"
"I'll come first, I'll come first!!"
"Get out of the way, the person I identified must be a spy!"
"The host, the little ......"
"Hehe......" Cao Cao didn't get angry after hearing the bustling shouts of these people, but instead singled out those who were identified with a smile.
In a short time, thirty or forty people stood in the center of the hall, trembling and bowing their heads and not daring to speak.
After the identification was almost done, Cao Cao smiled at everyone and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to be identified?" ”
"......" Everyone looked at each other for a while, and then no one answered, and although they also wanted to identify them, they really couldn't think of anyone else.
He found that no one spoke, so he swept his gaze to those who were identified, and asked with a smile: "You and the others are all suspected of being spies, and you should have been killed together to prevent future troubles, but in the spirit of God's virtue of a good life, I will give you one last chance."
As long as the spy himself stands up and helps Lone catch the mastermind behind the scenes, then Lone will not only save you from the crime, but also save the lives of your family! ”
"......" After everyone heard Cao Cao's words, they all lowered their heads and trembled, and were silent.
Most of them have been wronged, so they don't know how to speak.
And the real spy was struggling very much at this time, and he didn't know whether to stand up or not.
If you stand up, maybe you can really save your family and get out of the control of the people behind you.
