Chapter 65: Control
Since he knew that the Germanic barbarian was Odoas, who ended the rule of the Western Roman Empire more than twenty years later, Qin Dong thought about whether to kill this person now, but Qin Dong instantly gave up this idea, he was confident that it would not be difficult to kill Odoasse by his own force, but after killing this person, he would definitely startle the snake, Odoaser definitely did not come alone, this person must have an entourage or a party nearby, if these comrades get the news, They are bound to send the news back to the southern Germanic settlements as quickly as possible, and instead of startling the snake and making Odoasse and the others frightened, it is better to let this person go back, and then wait for his own work to lure the snake out of the hole.
As for this Solka, Qin Dong thinks that this person is not completely useless, this person is likely to be a member of a certain intelligence organization, it is not difficult to see this from the fact that he was able to get such accurate information in such a short period of time, maybe he can get more information from Odorase's mouth.
"Young Master......"
"Shhh ”
Liu San was a little worried: "Young master, it's so late, it's a little uneasy for you to go out alone, why don't I go with you?" ”
"No need, you can't help if you go, so be it! After the guy brought the water, I washed up and rested, and I will come back soon! Qin Dong dropped a sentence and went out.
When he walked outside the tavern, there was no trace of Odoase, and Qin Dong only saw Solka get into a carriage, and he immediately chased down the wall.
But it was said that Solka sat in the carriage, took out the five small gold bars he had just earned, and rubbed them in his hand, his expression was intoxicated, this money was too easy to earn, but he was not happy that he could make so much money this time, in fact, he had done this kind of thing many times, he was just enjoying the pleasure that money, especially gold, brought him.
While Solka was reveling in it, the carriage suddenly stopped, and he immediately put the gold in his pocket and asked, "What's the matter?" How did it stop? ”
No response, Solka lifted the curtain in confusion, only to see the driver fall crooked in the driver's seat, he was startled, and before he could react, a black coat was thrown in from the outside to cover his head, and then he was punched in the head, and a sharp pain plunged his consciousness into darkness.
When Solka woke up again, he found himself in a dilapidated house in ruins, with a layer of leaves and wheat stalks on the floor, and there was a continuous "squeak......" insect chirping outside, and a tall black figure stood by the window, he didn't know who the other party was, and was trying to continue pretending to be asleep, but the man by the window seemed to know that he was already awake, and asked without looking back, "Are you awake?" “
When Solka saw the black shadow, he knew that he had been kidnapped by that person, and he said with trepidation: "Who is Your Excellency?" What was the purpose of bringing me here? ”
"You, as an official of the Huns, sold information about the Huns to the Germanic barbarians in the south, and you said that if the Huns knew about it, what would they do to you?"
Solka was shocked in his heart, he had always thought that he had made such a thing extremely careful and secret, and no one should be able to find out, but he didn't expect that this secret would be known, he swallowed his saliva and said, "Who is Your Excellency?" What do you want to do? If you want money, just say a price, as long as you don't talk about it and talk around, I can give you money! ”
The man in black turned around and walked slowly, pulled a tattered stool and sat down in front of Solka, and then slowly removed the cloak and hood from his head.
When he saw the appearance of the man in black, Solka was terrified: "It's you! ”
Qin Dong smiled and said, "Isn't it me, Lord Solka!" By the way, last time you told me that you were an official in charge of military logistics, this official position is good, very good, full of oil and water, and you said that if I tell your superiors about your trafficking of information about the Huns to the Germans, I don't know what they will do to you? Or will I take you directly to your superiors, who will do you in order to dissociate themselves from you and say that they do not know about you? ”
With a frightened expression on his face, Solka looked up at the roof with several large holes and trembled, "Oh, Lord, forgive the sins of your devout disciples! After speaking, he pleaded with Qin Dong: "Lord Qin Dong, I beg you not to do this, I have a wife and children, they can't live without me!" As long as you let me go, I can give you money".
Qin Dong smiled: "Do you think I'm a person who is very short of money?" Now I have a question for you, and I hope you will answer me truthfully, otherwise, you should know exactly what the consequences are! ”
"Okay, okay, just ask, as long as I know I'll answer truthfully!"
"One question, who else do you work for besides being Quartermaster Skill of Saidika?"
"Uh, this ......" Solka didn't expect Qin Dong to guess that he had another identity, and he was immediately a little confused.
Seeing him hesitate, Qin Dong immediately said angrily: "What? It's all come to this point, and you don't want to talk about it? Does this mean that you are more loyal to certain people than you are to your wife, children, and gold? ”
Thinking of his wife and children and the gold coins, Solka immediately abandoned the object of his allegiance, "Hey, well, in fact, I was working for Lord Onigseus, the chief confidential secretary of Da Danyu, but I recently received news that Lord Onigseus was martyred for Attila Dadanyu, and he has been in charge of the intelligence organization of the Hun Empire, and I am a member of this intelligence organization!" ”
Solka's hidden identity surprised Qin Dong, but he immediately realized that this was an opportunity, as long as he controlled Solka, then he would be able to know about Saidika's situation at any time, and he asked, "After the death of Lord Onegiseus, who is now in charge of the intelligence organization he is in charge of?" ”
Solka shook his head and said: "I don't know, but the leadership of the spies distributed in Saidika and the surrounding areas has not disappeared, and even an order was conveyed a few days ago, saying that Xinshan Yu will succeed to the throne, and there are likely to be signs of instability in the border area, let us investigate closely!" ”
Qin Dong frowned and said, "How is it possible?" The old spy boss is dead, and you don't know who the new spy boss is? ”
"My lord, the villain really doesn't know, according to the convention, after the death of Lord Onigseus, his rights should be taken back by the new Shan Yu, and the head of the spy organization should be reappointed, but we people don't know who the new spy leader is until now, I speculate that the new Da Shan Yu didn't know that there was such an intelligence organization at all, and Master O'Negoseus directly crossed the new Da Dan Yu before he died and appointed another person to take over his work."
Qin Dong scrutinized Solka's words and found that this person's speculation was very reasonable, and there was a high probability that it was true, if what Solka said was true, then who replaced Onigseus to take over the spy organization? The most likely is his younger brother, Chancellor of the Exchequer Scotta.
After keeping this incident in mind, Qin Dong asked again: "Why did you, as a spy of the Huns, betray the situation of the Huns to the Germans?" Aren't you eating inside and out? Aren't you worried about knowing from above? Surely you know what will happen to you once you know about it? ”
"My lord, the villain has no other hobbies, the only hobby is greedy for money, those Ostrogoths in the south used their identity as Arians to find me, and took out a lot of money to buy some military supplies from me, I didn't hold back ** and sold them to them, after a few exchanges, I also became bolder, in addition to military supplies, I also sold the intelligence of the Huns to them!"
Qin Dong sneered: "The first few groups of Huns who were assigned to the Pazar region were only because you sold their news, so they were attacked by the Ostrogoths in the south and disappeared, right?" And you're still an Arian heretic? ”
"That's right, it was the news of my betrayal that caused them to be killed by the Ostrogoths, and you are right, I am an Arian, but not an infidel!"
Arianism is a branch of Catholicism that believes that Jesus is not a fully God, but a lower one of the Trinity. The Father and the Son are not always together. Mainline bishops and believers believe that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are identical, not just similar. God exists in the midst of three people (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) but the substance is the same. The mainline calls these Arians heretics.
Qin Dong said coldly: "I don't care what kind of true religion you are, whether you are a heretic or not, all in all, if you want to continue to live steadily, you must listen to me, from now on, you must report to me the news collected every day, I will send someone to be stationed in Saidika, this person will take the initiative to find you, and the contact information between you will be explained to you by him!" ”
"Uh, yes, sir!"
Later, Qin Dong asked Solka some specific information about the Germanic people in the south, and Solka answered them one by one, very detailed, and Qin Dong got the news he wanted to know.
