Chapter 132: Rumors (3)
Zhang Mao looked at the old man and found that this person was the old man he met when he went to inform the people outside Shuozhou to take refuge, so he looked at Li Danran. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the scene just now, Zhang Mao admired Li Danran very much, he asked himself if he went to the restaurant with Li Danran to eat, Li Danran didn't even know as much about this restaurant as he did before, but after he didn't find anything, Li Danran keenly caught the very suspicious restaurant owner, which had to make him ashamed.
Therefore, when encountering this kind of problem, he subconsciously looked at Li Danran.
Li smiled indifferently: "The old man doesn't need to worry, it's not too late to ask us again on the day when there is no food." ”
The old man hesitated: "But...... If that day comes, won't it be too late? ”
"Perhaps...... You've never asked this question one day, have you? ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then reacted quickly: "My lord, are you saying that there is no shortage of food in Shuozhou City?" Zhao joins the army and won't give up on us? ”
Li smiled indifferently, and then led the people away directly, while Zhang Mao still stayed to carry the grain until it was confirmed that the grain had entered the military warehouse.
After Li came back indifferently, he immediately reported the incident in the restaurant to Zhao Gu, but Zhao Gu did not show a trace of surprise after hearing it, as if he had expected it.
Stretching his waist, Zhao Gu said lazily: "In this way, the person who spread the rumors must be this restaurant, you let people interrogate them to see if they are Liao spies or Han lackeys, and ask them if they have other accomplices." ”
"Yes."
Li Danran then went down again, as for what kind of torture master he found to torture the restaurant owner, and the restaurant owner couldn't stand the punishment and fainted a few times, it is not enough to be an outsider.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the sky finally cleared, and the gentle sunlight shone on the white snow, which was a little dazzling.
In Zhao Gu's small courtyard, a recliner was placed in the center, on which were placed two shawls and a sheepskin water bag, and next to it was a stone table without a trace of snow, on which a pot of hot tea and two plates of snacks were placed.
A few wheezing sounds came, it turned out that Zhao Gu was doing push-ups in the wooden corridor under the eaves, and as soon as the gas spewed out met the cold air, it immediately turned into smoke, and disappeared again after a while.
After doing more than fifty push-ups, Zhao Gu couldn't hold on any longer and stood up with his body propped up.
Not to mention this exercise, you have to persevere, he has been like a pig in Shuozhou City for a few days, and he even has to pant for breath when he does push-ups.
With a wry smile, Zhao Gu put on a thick windbreaker, walked to the side of the recliner and lay down, ate two more snacks, drank a cup of tea, and then called out comfortably: "It's better to exercise, it's all over!" ”
Li indifferently walked from outside the courtyard and said, "The matter of the lackeys has been asked." ”
Zhao Gu stared at him, no longer lazy, and asked, "Are you sure it's a lackey and not a spy?" ”
Li nodded indifferently: "This guy named Liu San is indeed Han for generations, but he somehow got into a Liao nobleman, and opened this restaurant under the arrangement of that nobleman, in fact, he has been secretly doing things for that nobleman." ”
"Oh? What did he do? Zhao Gu asked.
"For example, if a Han Chinese eats at his restaurant and accidentally says something disrespectful to the Liao people, then he will report the Han Chinese, and the next day the person will be arrested and put in prison."
"For example, if there is only one orphan left in a Han Chinese family, he will adopt these orphans and secretly give them to that nobleman to be trained as a dead soldier."
"In this way, this Huang San is also a character, and he is very skilled in Infernal Affairs!" Zhao Gu said coldly.
"Have all his accomplices confessed?" Zhao Gu asked instead.
Li nodded indifferently: "This guy can do something to betray the nation, and he is not a hard bone, I only let people torture him for less than a day, and he confided everything." According to him, in this Shuozhou city, there are more than a dozen people like him who secretly do things for the Liao State, and even a few of them are Liao people at all. ”
"I see, are the whereabouts of these people clear?" Zhao Gu asked again.
"It's already clear, and it's ready to be arrested." Li said indifferently.
Zhao Gu smiled mysteriously: "You don't need to arrest them, let them make trouble." ”
Li was puzzled indifferently: "Brother Zhao, do you suspect that they have other accomplices?" ”
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, just wait and see. Huang San: Why do they spread rumors? What's next? Zhao Gu asked.
"They originally wanted to create panic and chaos in the city, and then wait for the opportunity to burn all the grain and grass, so that the people in the city would naturally have no way to walk, and then they came forward to call on everyone to kill all the officials and soldiers, and rushed to the Liao State to defect, so as to change a good way out for themselves." Li replied indifferently.
"It's really a good calculation!"
Zhao Gu picked up a piece of pastry that looked good, tasted it, and found that the taste was even better than it looked, so he handed the remaining two pieces to Li Danran.
Li was not polite, and directly threw the pastry into his mouth and chewed it.
After eating, Li Danran found that a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Gu's mouth, as a brother who had known each other for a long time, he immediately reacted, Zhao Gu had thought of some good plan.
Zhao Gu smiled and beckoned to Li Danran, who immediately stretched out his ears.
Zhao Gu whispered two words in his ear, and a smile also appeared on Li Danran's face, and said, "Brother Zhao, don't worry, I will arrange it." ”
After speaking, Li Danran left directly, while Zhao Gu still ate pastries and drank tea without a bite, bathed in the rare sunshine.
In the blink of an eye, it was getting dark.
Outside the barracks where the Song army was stationed in Shuozhou City, a ghostly teenage young man came out of the wooden fence of the barracks, he looked up and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so he decisively chose to slip away.
Since he left, just after a stick of incense, there was a sudden commotion in the Song army barracks, and someone shouted: "Oh no, the guy from the restaurant I caught in the morning ran away, and quickly order a wanted person." ”
Immediately afterwards, three groups of sergeants rushed out of the barracks and began to post the fleeing man all over the city, with the momentum that if he was not caught, he would give up.
And after one of the sergeants left, in a nameless alley, two middle-aged men in their forties and fifties met together, looked at the sergeants in the distance, the two looked at each other, and then retreated into an ordinary house together.
