In the gloomy prison of Dali Temple, Yang Tian looked desperately at the glimmer of light above his head, although this prison was far less eerie and terrifying than the Yushitai Black Prison he built himself, it was enough to destroy his will.

Maybe he killed too many innocents, Yang Tian was especially afraid of death, he was afraid that those people would become powerful ghosts to ask him for debts, he had just enjoyed the glory and wealth, but in a blink of an eye, the glory and wealth were shattered.

He didn't sleep all night last night, and before Zhou Yuan was sentenced, he confessed what he knew, and even explained that he was arrested in Chang'an and became an undercover agent of the Han army, and his spirit had collapsed.

At this time, as soon as he closed his eyes, it was as if he saw those officials who had their heads cut off and their limbs were coming to him to ask for their lives, Yang Xiu, Chen Lin, Cui Yan, Liu Zhen, Ying Ling, Xu Gan, etc., these people were all brutally tortured by him and finally executed.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and Yang Tian immediately pounced on it and shouted: "Spare me!" ”

He clung to the iron railing and shouted loudly, with a crying voice, "Spare my life, I will say anything!" ”

The footsteps stopped in front of him, Yang Tian slowly raised his head, but saw Cao Pi's cold gaze, he stretched out his arms and shouted as if he had met a savior: "Shizi!" Shizi! Help me, I'm your henchman! ”

Cao Pi squatted down and asked him, "You sue me first, did you leak information to the Han army spies?" I mean, the matter of the Xianbei envoy the year before last, I know that there are not many people, and you are one of them. ”

Yang Tian lowered his head timidly and said for a while: "I leaked the secret." ”

"Very well, where are you? To whom did the secret be leaked? ”

Yang Tian pleaded: "If I say it, will the prince of the world take my life?" ”

"Say it! I'll think about it. ”

"I was at the Sanjin Tavern and leaked the secret to Li Fu."

"Li Fu? Who is this person? ”

"He turned out to be Yuan Shao's staff, and later surrendered to Liu Jing, he should be the leader of the Han army in Yedu!"

This news really surprised Cao Pi, he immediately stood up and walked towards the prison gate, Yang Tian didn't expect Cao Pi to say that he would leave, he didn't give himself a little explanation, he suddenly became anxious, grabbed the iron railing and shouted: "Shizi, the case of the seventh son of Jian'an was explained by you, I did it completely according to your instructions, you can't ignore me!" ”

Cao Pi stopped, a flash of murder flashed in his eyes, he glanced back at Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan nodded knowingly, half an hour later, news came from Dali Prison that Yang Tian had committed suicide in fear of crime

Tongque Palace, Cao Pi reported Yang Tian's confession to his father Cao Cao, Cao Cao smashed his fist on the table, hating in his heart, "It turns out that he is an undercover agent of the Han army, no wonder Chang'an has no important information, no wonder I didn't know in advance that the Han army attacked Jiaozhou, it must have been concealed by him, and immediately raided his mansion and found out all the information hidden by him." ”

"The child has already sent someone, and the child has appointed Dali Cheng Zhou Yuan as the middle of the imperial history, in charge of foreign intelligence."

Cao Cao had a good impression of Zhou Yuan, he nodded, "Yes!" ”

Cao Pi was overjoyed, he thought it would take a lot of talk, but he didn't expect his father to agree so happily, and he hurriedly said: "Father, about the intelligence point of the Han army in Chang'an, the child already has eyebrows. ”

Cao Cao perked up and asked, "What eyebrows?" ”

"Yang Tian confessed that he always went to the Sanjin Tavern to provide information, and the intelligence leader of the Han army in Yedu was called Li Fu."

"Li Fu? It's a name I've heard before. Cao Cao couldn't remember who this person was for a while.

"Father should have the impression that this person was originally Yuan Shao's staff, and when we besieged Yecheng, this person pretended to be the governor of Cao Jun and infiltrated the city."

Speaking of that incident, Cao Cao suddenly remembered, "It turned out to be him, this person is very bold, and I looked for him later, but I didn't expect him to surrender to Liu Jing, with this person sitting in Yedu, no wonder the spies of the Han State are so powerful." ”

Cao Cao asked again, "Did you send someone to arrest you?" ”

"The child didn't startle the snake for the time being, but the child needs the help of the tiger guard."

"Yang Tian is arrested, they will inevitably be vigilant, they can't delay any longer, they must be arrested immediately."

Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Let Xu Chu come to see me!" ”

The news of Yang Tian's arrest first spread in the officialdom, and then spread to the people, the Sanjin Tavern located in the south of the city is still open as usual, the business is light, and there are very few customers, although it is a loss-making business, but the Sanjin Tavern is a point of the Han Army Intelligence Network and cannot be closed.

In the huge intelligence network of the Han army, the Sanjin Tavern is only a very small point, and the real intelligence spy is only the shopkeeper, and the rest of the bartenders do not know, but the main role of this intelligence point is the bridge between Li Fu and Yang Tian.

Early in the morning, not long after the tavern opened, the shopkeeper Wang heard the sound of firecrackers from all over the city, he didn't know what was going on, so he asked a bartender to inquire about the news, and after a while, the bartender ran back to report that it was Yang Tian who was arrested in the imperial history.

This news surprised the shopkeeper Wang, although he hated Yang Tian's cruelty like ordinary people, but after all, Yang Tian was an important source of intelligence for the Han army, especially since he was in direct contact with Li Fu every time, would he confess Li Fu?

Sensitive to the intelligence officer, Shopkeeper Wang immediately asked the bartenders to close the tavern and go home, while he ran to find Li Fu.

Although Li Fu is the intelligence leader of the Han army in Yedu, he was promoted to Sima last year, and Sima's top is the military division, which already belongs to the senior civilian position of the Han army, but Li Fu still has an old problem that cannot be changed, he is good at wine and lust.

He has no small family, he is alone, and spends most of his time in the Qinglou, he especially likes the Baiyulou in Yedu, he is a frequent visitor here, and most of the time he will soak in the Qinglou.

Today is no exception, Li Fu woke up in the morning, and changed two women, hugging left and right to drink and have fun, he drank the fruit wine brewed by the Qinglou, Ye Du promulgated a ban on alcohol the year before last, prohibiting the use of grain to make wine, but now it is slightly relaxed, allowing taverns, Qinglou, hostels and other places to make fruit wine, but not to sell to the outside world, can only be used for personal use.

The reason why Li Fu likes Baiyulou is because the pear wine brewed here is very suitable for his taste, and the woman is second, Li Fu was drunk, at this time, a maidservant girl ran in and said: "Li Yuanjun, there is a tavern shopkeeper surnamed Wang outside the door to find him, saying that there is something important." ”

The two women next to him laughed, "But come to ask Li Yuanjun for a wine debt?" ”

The reason why Liu Jing can tolerate his lust and greed for cups is that Li Fu has a clear distinction between public and private, and will never make a mistake because of wine, Li Fu immediately understood that something had happened, he pushed the two women away, and walked out without looking back, just when he met the shopkeeper Wang who was so anxious to jump his feet.

He pulled the shopkeeper aside and whispered, "What's going on?" ”

"My lord, let's go! Yang Tian was arrested. ”

Li Fu was also taken aback, and asked again, "When did it happen?" ”

"I don't know, early this morning, firecrackers were set off everywhere in the city to celebrate?"

"Is the tavern surrounded?"

"Not for the time being, if I want to be surrounded, can I still come out?"

Li Fu pondered for a moment, Yang Tian was most likely arrested last night, and he didn't confess to them last night, otherwise the tavern would have been surrounded a long time ago, of course he could leave the city now, but his residence still had some important information, including a list of intelligence spies, and he had to burn it before he could leave.

Thinking of this, Li Fu said to the shopkeeper: "You leave Yedu now, go to Guo's Manor to hide, I will go back to the accommodation, and I will come over immediately." ”

Li Fu was an extremely shrewd and capable person, he thought about the problem carefully, all the intelligence officers did not bring their families, so as not to be dragged down, and the shopkeeper Wang did not have any family members in the city, so he immediately left the Baiyu Tower and went to the city gate.

Li Fu turned over and got on his horse and ran towards his place, his place was near the Sanjin Tavern, Li Fu did not walk the street, but ran along the side streets and alleys, he was about to run out of an alley, but suddenly restrained the war horse, he saw more than a dozen soldiers running on the street in front, these soldiers are tiger guards wearing tiger helmets, Cao Cao's bodyguards, they appeared, there must be an important situation.

Li Fu immediately turned over and dismounted, and gave the horse to a small shop, he put on a thick jacket, tore off his turban, messed up his hair, smeared black mud on his face and body, and found a piece of dog shit to smear on his body, his expression became sluggish, and he looked like an old beggar who had just woken up from a corner.

Li Fu slowly walked out of the alley, this was a South Gate Street, the Sanjin Tavern was dozens of steps away, and his accommodation was in an alley opposite.

At this time, the Sanjin Tavern has been surrounded by Tiger Benwei soldiers, the door of the store was kicked open, a group of soldiers rushed in to search, and in the distance there were many people who watched the excitement, pointing to the tavern and discussing, and dozens of Tiger Benwei soldiers patrolled around with knives, looking for suspicious people on the street.

Li Fu walked slowly, there were two Tiger Guard soldiers standing in front of him, blocking his way, the two looked at him suspiciously, Li Fu did not dodge, but greeted him with a smile, "Master Jun, what happened to the tavern?" Is it possible to eat for free? ”

His lewd smile and the stench of dog shit on his body suddenly made the two soldiers almost vomit, and the two soldiers hurriedly dodged and scolded: "Where did you come from, beggar, get out!" ”

Li Fu smiled and pointed to the alley, slowly walked into the alley, and the people who stood at the entrance of the alley and watched the excitement covered their noses and avoided it, but no one recognized it, this beggar with a disheveled head, a dirty face, and a foul smell on his body was Uncle Li, who was usually vigorous.

Li Fu quickly burned important information when he returned to his home, and soon left Yedu City, and not long after he left, the entire Yedu began an earth-shaking search.
