Fan Wucheng, who had already changed his clothes, taken off his fake beard, and washed his face of all kinds of disguise supplies used to dress himself up as an old servant, drank the fragrant tea handed over by Liu Yunyan, while thinking about what he should do next. Although the news has been sent, compared with the messenger who had already left Jiedu Mansion in the morning to rush to Lu County, and Liang Ziyue and others, who had already set off from Huairou in the second half of yesterday night, this reminder that Zhang Yan's whereabouts were likely to have been leaked and that he needed to be transferred immediately was obviously much late, and no one could guarantee that Zhang Yan would receive his news before the spies of the intelligence department's action team came to the door, and quickly left the existing hiding place. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, and carefully considering the possible consequences of Zhang Yan's secret collusion with him once Zhang Yan was arrested, Fan Wucheng finally gritted his teeth, put the teacup in his hand on the table, and said: "There is no place to keep a master here, there is a place to keep a master." Rather than staying in the city of Beiping and waiting to be killed, he was ruined and spurned by his brothers after the scandal was exposed. It is better to take advantage of the fact that the matter has not been revealed and it is relatively easy to enter and exit Beiping City, and find a place far away from the emperor to live in seclusion, and live the rest of his life in peace. Anyway, relying on the money that we saved before becoming a husband, it is enough for our husband and wife and Xuan'er to eat inexhaustibly for several lifetimes. ”

"Although the official's news was sent out a little late, it may not necessarily lag behind the spies of 'Dark Feather'. If the hall master's side received our warning in time and avoided the capture of 'Dark Feather', but the official left in a hurry, wouldn't it be a move of 'there are no three hundred taels of silver here', but it would arouse the suspicion of the other brothers? Liu Yunyan said with some worry.

"It doesn't hurt." Fan Wucheng waved his hand and said confidently, "This time my husband is out of the house in disguise, and others don't know it." And for the past two months, my husband has been thinking about it behind closed doors, living in seclusion, refusing visitors, even if he has been missing for ten days and eight days, he will not be noticed. If Zhang Yan's side really escaped the capture of 'Dark Feather', as long as we return to Beiping City in time, we will not show any flaws. ”

"What the officials say is very true, and everything depends on the officials." Liu Yunyan sat down next to Fan Wucheng and said softly.

"In this way, I have already instructed Xiao Qi who came with me just now, so that he and Xiao San should always pay attention to the changes in the city, and inform Yu Weifu in time. The lady also leaves Fluttershy to investigate, pass on the news, and take care of the two concubines in the courtyard next to her. You and I will disguise ourselves and take Xuan'er and those loyal servants and maidservants out of the city immediately, and go to the property we have placed fifty miles west of the city to live temporarily, and then make the next plan when the situation here is clear. Fan Wucheng immediately decided.

In the back hall of Luxian County, Jia Wenqing, the magistrate of the county, held the official document of the Jiedu Mansion asking the Luxian Yamen to fully cooperate with Liang Ziyue in investigating the secret agent of "Feiyantang", and sat on the chair with a blank expression, not knowing what kind of treatment he would face next. Although he, Jia Wenqing, asked himself that he had nothing to do with the "Feiyantang", but since the matter involved the "temporary residence permit" issued and issued by the Luxian county government, he knew that he had issued and issued many "temporary residence permits" for relatives and friends in various fields that had not been strictly examined and investigated, but at this time, he had a hunch that those "dark feather" spies who were carefully checking the information on every "temporary residence permit" issued by the Luxian county government at the end of last year would definitely find out what they were looking for. I will definitely be implicated in these "temporary residence permits" that have not been issued in accordance with the normal procedures, and may even be questioned for this.

Facts have proved that Jia Wenqing's hunch was correct. After about half an hour of verification, the cadres of the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence finally found out more than 20 "temporary residence permits" that were suspected of being problematic from the nearly 200 "temporary residence permits" issued and issued during the corresponding time period, and presented them to Liang Ziyue one by one.

Among the more than 20 suspicious materials, more than a dozen of them were "temporary residence permit" applicants who were highlighted by the detectives and considered to be the most suspicious, and they also became the targets of Liang Ziyue's review. After careful review, Liang Ziyue confirmed that the suspicions of his agents were very reasonable. On the one hand, the part about the personal description of the "temporary residence permit" applicant is very general, vague and unconvincing. On the other hand, in the documents, the dozen or so applicants claimed to be companions of the same caravan and had been doing business together for several years. However, during the years of doing business together, there were many inconsistencies in their personal histories, and some of them even contradicted each other. In addition, the most important point is that the dozen or so applicants are from Kaifeng, and their leader is a woman in her early twenties. Moreover, it can be learned from the information that this woman who claimed to be Zhang Ruyan came to the local area to cooperate with her relatives in the local area to do business.

The so-called caravan led by a woman, composed of more than a dozen members from Kaifeng who had many concealments about their identities, came to Luxian to cooperate with their local relatives to "do business." This series of characteristics is compared with the situation of Zhang Yan and his subordinates in Luxian County provided by Qi An, Tong Ming, and He Ping, and in addition to the fact that his friend Zhang Zhili, who was confessed by Jia Wenqing, the county magistrate, privately asked him to issue "temporary residence permits" for these people, it is not difficult for Liang Ziyue and his subordinates to come to a conclusion. Nine times out of ten, these dozen so-called Kaifeng businessmen who lived in the home of Zhang Zhili, a wealthy businessman in this county, were Zhang Yan and his subordinates they were looking for.

After making such a speculation, Liang Ziyue did not hesitate. On the one hand, he ordered Luo Chengzhi (Qingchen) to immediately lead the agents of the action team to Zhang Zhili's house and a real estate office purchased by Zhang Ruyan half a year ago provided by Jia Wenqing, and escort everyone in Zhang's family and everyone he saw in the real estate office under Zhang Ruyan's name to the county government for questioning, and there must be no omission. On the other hand, he sent people to send a message to Qi An, Tong Ming, and He Ping, who were guarding the four gates of Lu County, and ordered them to rush to the county office immediately to recognize people. At the same time, he also ordered a battalion of the "security army" that had been mobilized on the way to Lu County and had already taken over the investigation of the four gates of Lu County from the hands of the Lu County "urban management team" to immediately close all the city gates, and then resume the entry of the county seat of Lu County after the arrest and interrogation work of the "Dark Feathers" had been completed.

As Liang Ziyue issued orders one after another, the situation in the entire county seat of Luxian County suddenly became tense. First, the gates, which were supposed to stop entering and exiting after dark, were suddenly closed, and the people who entered and exited the city were cut off from the gates. Immediately afterwards, hundreds of sturdy men with serious expressions, dressed in uniform colors, and armbands embroidered with two pale yellow feathers on their left arms, poured out from the county government, and soon divided into two teams, and galloped towards different places in the city, causing a burst of exclamations from the people along the way.

The raid on Zhang Zhili's house was very smooth, and in the face of the agents of Group A of the Intelligence Department's action team led by Luo Chengzhi (Qingchen), who were like divine soldiers descending from the sky, Zhang Zhili and his family members could not react at all except to be shocked and captured. The raid on Zhang Ruyan's property was more troublesome, and the agents of the Intelligence Department's Action Team Group B, led by Luo Chengzhi (Qingchen)'s junior brother Wang Xiaohan (Qingfeng), encountered stubborn resistance from more than a dozen men and women hiding in Zhang Ruyan's real estate. So much so that Wang Xiaohan (Qingfeng) had to temporarily give up all his plans to capture him alive, and killed the three members of the other party who resisted the most fiercely and had the highest martial arts, so that he could control the situation and capture the remaining eleven people.

As the agents of the two teams escorted their prisoners back to the Luxian County Office, Qi An, Tong Ming, and He Ping's personnel responsible for identification were also put in place, and the tense and harsh interrogation began.

Overall, the interrogation went relatively smoothly. Zhang Zhili and his family members naturally asked what to say, knew everything, and said everything. And those "Feiyantang" spies, although they refused to admit their secret spy identities at the beginning, quibbled for their purpose of coming to Lu County, tried their best to prove that they were good citizens and that the agents of the Intelligence Department had caught the wrong person. However, as the agents of the Intelligence Department in charge of interrogation pointed out the suspicious points in the materials they submitted to the county government, as the agents presented the real names of their leaders and the true identity of Zhang Yongde's righteous daughter confessed by Zhang Zhili in front of them, as the confessions of Qi An, Tong Ming, He Ping, and the members of the Huairou Branch and themselves appeared in the interrogation room, and as the horrific torture instruments were placed around them, the thoughts of those "Feiyantang" spies who were not firm in their will and had poor psychological quality were still shaken. and finally completely collapsed, and began to confess his true identity, the purpose of coming to the Beiping Army, and a series of intelligence and news.

With the opening of the breakthrough, more and more arrested "Feiyantang" spies joined the ranks of confession and leniency. When the interrogation of nearly two hours was over, and a detailed report on the activities of the "Feiyantang" in the territory of the Beiping Army was finally released, it was already the beginning of the evening of the 24th day of the lunar month of the eighth year of Xiande.

However, although this time he succeeded in cracking and smashing the entire spy network of "Feiyantang" in the territory of the Beiping Army, captured almost all of its key members, and mastered the distribution of all its peripheral informants and hidden piles, Liang Ziyue could not be happy in the face of the thick stack of situation reports placed on the table in front of him. Because, in addition to the series of gains mentioned above, there is another piece of news that he is most unwilling to see in this report -- after the identification of Qi An, Tong Ming, and He Ping, among all the suspects who have been arrested, there is no "Feiyan Tang" head hall advocate Yan.
