A huge conspiracy has hung over Yong'an, and the soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are unaware. The recent string of defensive victories made them feel fluttering and did not take the Qing army to heart. In addition, the Qing army has been coming to attack less and less recently, and the generals of the Taiping army are also happy to be idle and begin to relax their vigilance.

But Yang Xiaoshan felt a little unusual, he took three hundred elite soldiers to wander around various strongholds and camps, understand the situation of the enemy and us, and check the danger. He felt that there seemed to be more strange things recently, the Caicun grain depot was inexplicably on fire, although the fire was quickly extinguished, the loss was still not small; The Sendailing gunpowder pharmacy was flooded, and the two loads of gunpowder were completely wet and could not be used。。。。。。 There are also all kinds of inexplicable losses.

In the eyes of the local garrison generals, these were just incidents. But because Yang Xiaoshan has traveled a lot, according to what he knows, there are these accidental situations in several places almost at the same time, which can't help but make him suspect that there is a problem inside, he feels that these should not be accidents, but because there is no evidence, if he makes a big noise, others will feel that they are shaking the morale of the army.

On this day, Yang Xiaoshan was walking on the road to Gaodui Village near Longyantang, when suddenly a guard in front of him rushed over, "Shizi, the big thing is not good, I found this on the side of the road." The guard looked solemn and worried, and he handed it over with a few sticks of grass in his hand. Yang Xiuqing just called the king of the east in Yong'an, Yang Xiaoshan as his righteous son, and the people below are now used to calling him the son of the world.

"What is this?" Yang Xiaoshan took the grass and grabbed it in his hand to look at it carefully. The oval leaves are slightly serrate, and the slender grass stems are covered with golden-yellow five-petaled flowers. It doesn't seem to be anything special, and it's not much different from the usual grass.

"Shizi, the little ancestor was born in Yao Mountain, and we all call this grass rotten intestine grass in Yao Mountain." The guard replied.

"What?" Yang Xiaoshan was startled, and his hands trembled, is this rotten intestine grass? It looks like ordinary grass.

"Shizi don't worry, this rotten intestinal grass will only be fatal if it is boiled into soup and drunk, and now this condition is non-toxic." The guard understood Xiaoshan's psychology and prompted.

Yang Xiaoshan made up his mind, his face suddenly became nervous, and he wondered: "How can this rotten intestine grass from Yaoshan appear here?" Could it be that someone is going to poison it? ”

"The little one is really worried about this, this rotten intestine grass boiled into soup mixed into the abdomen of humans and animals, that is, sticky to the intestines, half a day will be black and rotten, and finally die of pain. Such a dangerous thing appears here, I am afraid that someone will be unfavorable to our Taiping army. The guard thought the same as Hill, and added.

Yang Xiaoshan's expression was straight, he knew the seriousness of the situation, now there are so many people in the barracks who eat and live together, if someone poisons them, but more than one person is killed, it will be a large area, and he said with a serious face: "Everyone work hard, you can't spare your physical strength, bring more speed, and surround the Gaodui Village in front." You must search house to house carefully, and you must not let go of any suspicious point, and you must find out the spies who are mixed in. ”

Gaodui Village is not a large village, with only about 200 households, but it is next to Longyantang, and the Taiping army's camp in the north of Yong'an is near here.

It didn't take long for several heavenly soldiers to find a large bag of rotten intestine grass in the house of the local rich man Wang Dafu. This Wang Dafu was wearing a black coat and a foreign hat, his expression was panicked, he was escorted by two heavenly soldiers, his hands were tied behind him with ropes, and he was brought to Yang Xiaoshan.

A large group of villagers next to him surrounded him and said gossipingly: "Isn't this Wang Dafu? ”

"Didn't he run away with his whole family? How did you come back again? ”

"Last night, I seemed to see a mysterious figure enter his house, I thought I was wrong, it turned out to be Wang Dafu himself."

。。。。。。

Yang Xiaoshan stared at Wang Dafu's eyes and said sharply: "Wang Dafu, why do you have so many rotten intestinal grasses in your family, why did you come back suddenly, what are your intentions?" ”

When the villagers heard the words "rotten intestines", their emotions exploded.

"This Wang Dafu is too bad, isn't it just a few acres of land divided into his family, as for poisoning us all!"

"This guy has a bad conscience, he can do it if he is a fellow villager!"

"Fortunately, the Taiping Army found out early, otherwise we would have really suffered from his black hands."

。。。。。。

"I don't know what kind of rotten intestine grass this is, wronged! I came back homesick and wanted to come back and see. Although the evidence was on the side, Wang Dafu was sweating all over his head, and his mouth was still quibbling.

"You don't know? Then boil these rotten intestines into soup and pour them into him! Yang Xiaoshan knew that this person was a character who didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin, and he wouldn't be recruited if he didn't give him a little power.

"Don't, don't." Wang Dafu was frightened and panicked, "I said, I said." Master Yao asked me to bring these grasses, and I boiled them into soup and poured them at the water intake of Longyan Pond. said that after the matter was completed, I would be given an official status as a reward. I said yes in a moment, I really didn't know it was such a vicious thing. ”

"What other comrades do you have?" Yang Xiaoshan then asked, from this point of view, it seems that the accidents that have happened inexplicably these days have been deliberately done by someone. It would be great if we could open a gap in him, follow the vine, and wipe out all the traitors who got in.

"I really don't know this, when I came, Shousuke looked for me alone, and no one else went to see him." Wang Dafu didn't look like he was lying.

"Really? If you confess, I promise to surround you without dying. Yang Xiaoshan snorted coldly.

"Really, really, a small sin deserves death, but I really don't know." Wang Dafu was a little anxious, he also wanted to live, and now he regrets coming back, he is really asking for his own death.

Yang Xiaoshan felt in his heart, "It seems that there is a master in the Qing army, and he has begun to arrange internal traitors to sabotage in Yong'an, no wonder the enemy's offensive has been less recently, and his mind was originally focused here." ”

"You escort him into Yong'an, hand him over to the East King, and see what else you can ask." Yang Xiaoshan beckoned to several of his subordinates.

"You pass on this news to the guards of the various camp strongholds, let them pay attention to whether there are any traitors of the enemy, and focus on checking whether there are any people in the team or nearby villages who have just returned." Yang Xiaoshan thought for a moment and continued to order.

caught Wang Dafu and confirmed the fact that he was instructed to come and poison him. Yang Xiaoshan felt a little chill behind him, he vaguely felt that the purpose of the Qing army would definitely not be so simple, burning some food and throwing some poison, etc., there should be a bigger conspiracy that he hadn't discovered yet.

"What other killing moves did the Qing army hide?" Yang Xiaoshan's sixth sense was that the Qing army was planning a big plan, and it should be about to be implemented. The Taiping Army is in a very dangerous situation, and no one knows anything about it. This is the most terrifying, the skilled hunter is the one who shoots the prey defenseless, kills with one blow, and the prey is killed without any room to fight back.
