Cheng Kun has been lurking by Zeng Guofan's side for twelve years without being exposed, and this experience is worth learning from, which can be used to train the novice rookies of the Chinese S.H.I.E.L.D. department.

Similarly, in turn, this experience can also be used for counter-espionage, and to find out the spies lurking around Li Weiguo.

Cheng Kun really had two brushes, and in less than a week after returning to the China S.H.I.E.L.D., more than a dozen spies were dug up from Li Weiguo's side.

It's just that the identity of these spies is not high, most of them are low-level personnel, such as miscellaneous servants for Wu Wangfu, some irrelevant department staff of the government office, they are not only from the Hunan army, but also have the identity of the Huai army, and there are also those who do things for the imperial court, and even local rivers and lakes forces, and even those who do things for foreigners.

These spies are all low-level spies, and some of them have already been filed with the China S.H.I.E.L.D., but Li Weiguo did not surprise them.

Because many times, it is a good thing to have spies around, and if you want the enemy to know any information, you only need to reveal it to the spy.

Now Li Weiguo has formulated a discord plan, he wants to protect the safety of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents lurking around Li Hongzhang, and also get rid of potential threats like Zhou Fu, the distraction plan is the best way. But it is difficult for ordinary discord meters to work on shrewd people like Li Hongzhang and Zhou Fu, so an upgraded version of the discord meter is needed, which is called the discord meter.

Zhou Fu arrived in Wuchang, but did not see Li Weiguo, but was invited by Li Weiguo's subordinates to his home in turn.

Zhou Fu wanted to see Li Weiguo as soon as possible and claim about Hubei Province, but unfortunately Li Weiguo didn't see him and returned to Shanghai directly.

At the same time, Li Hongzhang has been waiting for news from Zhou Fu for Hubei Province. He still cares a lot, even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance of coming back, it is hope.

How could he not wait for news of Zhou Fu left and right, Li Hongzhang, who couldn't stop in Annai, sent someone to inquire, but learned that Zhou Fu was eating in Wuchang all day long, and it was rumored that Li Weiguo tried his best to woo him. Willing to buy him with the position of governor of Liangjiang, Li Hongzhang was immediately furious.

Zhou Fu knew that he was bitter, guessed that Li Weiguo was pouring dirty water on him, and was about to return to Tianjin to explain to Li Hongzhang, but unexpectedly, Li Weiguo suddenly agreed to talk to him, but asked him to go to Shanghai.

Zhou Fu didn't know what Li Weiguo's plans were, but he was very curious about Li Weiguo, and with this idea, Zhou Fu went to Shanghai.

It's just that Zhou Fu doesn't know. As soon as he went, a conspiracy against him began.

Of course, Zhou Fu also knew that this was not in accordance with the rules, and he was afraid that Li Hongzhang would be suspicious, so he sent someone to write a letter to Li Hongzhang, gave an explanation, and put forward his suggestions. It's just that this letter was intercepted by agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. halfway, and it didn't reach Li Hongzhang at all.

Zhou Fu, who was a hundred secrets, went to Shanghai in this way.

The other side. Li Weiguo started the wake-up procedure again, and several letters flew to Tianjin. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents lurking beside Li Hongzhang were awakened one after another and quickly began to act.

Tianjin, Zhili Governor's Palace, signed room.

A servant handed a letter to Wang Kaitai.

Wang Kaitai opened it and looked at it, suddenly showed a complicated look, and hurriedly closed the door.

Long. Wang Kaitai let out a long sigh, and his gaze became resolute.

At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a team of officers and soldiers rushed in.

Wang Kaitai was furious: "Bastard, who is so bold." Dare to forcibly break into the official's public house! ”

Without waiting for the officers and soldiers to answer, there was laughter outside the door, and a person walked in.

Wang Kaitai saw that he recognized this person, and immediately frowned and said, "Xu Ting, what do you mean?" Don't think that with King Yan pampering you, you can despise this official! Believe it or not, this official is called to sue you in front of King Yan? ”

The person who came was Xu Ting, who served as the Minister of Beiyang Trade and Commerce, and was deeply respected by Li Hongzhang.

I only heard Xu Ting sneer: "Wang Kaitai, you don't take the official in your eyes the most on weekdays, to be honest, the official is very unhappy with you." However, we are all doing things for His Royal Highness King Yan, and this official doesn't care about you in general, but if you eat inside and out, and want to harm His Royal Highness King Yan, then this official can't ignore it. ”

Wang Kaitai was taken aback, staring at Xu Ting with burning eyes, and suddenly felt a cool air on his back, and he immediately shouted: "Fart, Xu Ting, you don't want to spew blood, when did the official eat inside and out?" How to harm His Royal Highness King Yan? If you don't make it clear today, if you slander this official like this, this official will never give up. ”

"Load! You keep pretending! I see how long you can fit it? Xu Ting had a smug expression, then turned cold, and shouted: "No. 9, tell this official, what task did Li Weiguo give you?" ”

No. 9 is Wang Kaitai's code name, and he was also one of the hundred agents trained by Li Weiguo that year, and was ordered to lurk beside Li Hongzhang.

As soon as he heard Xu Ting call out the number nine, Wang Kaitai suddenly felt cold in his heart, knowing that his identity was exposed.

"Nine? Today is obviously the twelfth, but your brain was caught in the door, and you even forgot about the day! Wang Kaitai is calm and resolutely cannot admit it.

Xu Ting sneered, stepped forward and asked, "Nine, don't pretend to me, since I can call out your code name, it means that I have mastered the fact that you are a spy sent by Li Weiguo." ”

"I really don't know what you're talking about? This official is sitting upright and loyally following His Royal Highness King Yan for more than ten years, how can he help Li Weiguo do things, ridiculous! Wang Kaitai snorted coldly, but he went to another country, didn't look at the other party, and hid his eye fluctuations.

"The dead duck has a hard mouth, it seems that if you don't come up with evidence, it is impossible for you to admit it!" Xu Ting glanced at him, and suddenly an officer and soldier rushed forward and searched Wang Kaitai's body.

Wang Kaitai was shocked and wanted to stop him, but he couldn't, he didn't have time to destroy the awakening code given to him by Li Weiguo, and he was soon searched out by the other party.

Xu Ting took the letter, opened it, and immediately said happily: "How is it?" Now what else do you have to say? ”

Wang Kaitai sneered: "It's just a poem." ”

"Is it just poetry? You think I don't know, this is Li Weiguo's code word to you, specially used to wake you spies who have been lurking for many years. ”

Hearing Xu Ting say this, Wang Kaitai's heart suddenly cooled, it was terrible, he even knew this, it was obvious that he was an internal ghost.

However, Wang Kaitai has stayed in the officialdom for many years, and he has long been accustomed to being deceived by me, so he will not be easily deceived by the other party, and denied: "Just one sentence of poetry says that I am a spy sent by King Wu, are you as stupid as others say you are?" ”

Xu Ting gritted his teeth when he was scolded, and snorted coldly: "Then let your dead heart be convinced!" ”

He paused, and continued: "Wang Kaitai, listen well, I, Xu Ting, trained with other ninety-nine people on Chongming Island twelve years ago, we are all carefully selected agents by Li Weiguo, serving in the China S.H.I.E.L.D., my code name is Seventy-Seven, and like you, I was selected by Li Weiguo to lurk beside His Royal Highness King Yan. ”

Wang Kaitai was shocked, looking at Xu Ting in disbelief, he never thought that Xu Ting was also from the China S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau, and he was one of the hundred people like him, and what was even more unbelievable was that the elites were also divided together, and they were all lurking beside Li Hongzhang.

It's just that Wang Kaitai did not defect, but Xu Ting did.

Seeing that Wang Kaitai's face changed greatly, Xu Ting laughed and said, "How is it?" Now you have nothing to say, do you? Actually, I've been paying attention to you for a long time, but I've never been sure that you are also an undercover agent sent by Li Weiguo. It wasn't until I saw this poem just now that I was really sure of your identity, Nine, now you have nothing to say. ”

Wang Kaitai was heartbroken, but he still couldn't admit it, because the other party had not yet obtained more sufficient evidence.

"Who do you say, I'm not anyway, I want to see His Royal Highness King Yan!"

Xu Ting snorted coldly and shouted, "Your Royal Highness King Yan, please!" ”

At this time, a person walked in outside the door again, and Wang Kaitai looked at it and was immediately frightened.

The person who came was Li Hongzhang, the king of Yan, who actually came with Xu Ting, but he didn't come in for the first time, but was outside the door, wanting to hear the conversation between Xu Ting and Wang Kaitai.

Now that he learned the truth, Li Hongzhang was so angry that his braids were curled.

"Wang Kaitai, this king treats you well, why do you treat this king like this?"

Wang Kaitai sighed suddenly, facing Li Hongzhang, he was a little uncomfortable, although he was lurking beside Li Hongzhang with a task, he shouldn't have any feelings, but Li Hongzhang has really treated Wang Kaitai well over the years, when he thought of this, Wang Kaitai felt shameless in the face of Li Hongzhang, and the pretext he had prepared couldn't be said.

"What? Didn't you just ask the prince for revenge? Now that the prince is here, why don't you speak? Don't you dare to say it with shame in your heart? Xu Ting sneered, but there was a murderous flash in his eyes.

Li Hongzhang also wanted to hear what Wang Kaitai said, so he said: "Wang Kaitai, this king gives you a chance, as long as you have the confidence to convince this king, this king can act as if nothing has happened!" ”

Wang Kaitai shook his head, he suddenly found that he couldn't face Li Hongzhang, although this is not a betrayal, but people can be ruthless, Wang Kaitai sighed, and said: "There is nothing else to ask for, but to die, please read the prince for the sake of his subordinates who have not done anything sorry for the prince over the years, bypassing the subordinate family, they don't know anything." ”

"You-" Li Hongzhang was so angry that he trembled, he really wanted to hear Wang Kaitai explain, because Wang Kaitai had been with him for too long, he hoped that Wang Kaitai was wronged, but unfortunately it backfired.

Xu Ting said suddenly: "Lord Wang, the minister wants to interrogate Wang Kaitai immediately, because Li Weiguo is planning to deal with Wang Ye, and Wang Kaitai must know!" ”

Li Hongzhang was a little hesitant, he knew what Xu Ting meant, the interrogation was torture, and he couldn't bear to be ruthless to Wang Kaitai.

Xu Ting insisted: "Lord Wang, you have to know how Zeng Guofan perished, a lesson from the past, please think twice!" ”

Li Hongzhang was taken aback when he heard this, and said hatefully: "Since this is the case, I will leave it to you!" ”

"Whoa!" Xu Ting received the order, and when he saw Li Hongzhang's expression, he suddenly showed a sneer. (To be continued.) )
