Zhang Weixin walked into the side hall of the main hall of the Beiping Military Festival Mansion, and Wang Kunjun and Xu Shaoan, who were already waiting there, just greeted him and greeted him to sit down. Immediately, Wang Kunjun handed him a stack of reports sent by a messenger sent by Liang Ziyue about the raid on the Huairou branch of the "Feiyan Hall" last night and the surprise interrogation of the arrested members of the hall, and said: "The eldest brother has not arrived yet, the seventh brother, you take a look at this material first, and when the eldest brother comes, we will discuss what to do next." ”

Zhang Weixin didn't say much when he heard this, so he took the report and read it carefully.

According to Liang Ziyue's report, because Jihua was thorough and acted quickly, and there was a large amount of information provided by Qi An and Tong Ming, two defectors who knew the details of the other party, the raid on the Huairou branch of the "Feiyan Hall" was very successful. The action team led by Luo Chengzhi (Qingchen) was divided into two routes, not only netting all 16 people from the Huairou branch of the "Feiyan Hall" from the head of the hall He Ping, but also successfully arresting all the internal lines and hidden piles developed by the other party in the Yamen at the two levels in Shunzhou and Huairou County, and did not let anyone escape. In the course of the entire operation, except for one "Feiyantang" secret agent, who committed suicide by drinking the poison he was carrying when the agents of the intelligence department's action team appeared in front of him, the rest of the people also had some acts of resistance, but they all ended in failure and were all captured alive.

The interrogation of these arrested agents and their development of the inside line that followed was also smooth. Although at the beginning, some of the spies of "Feiyantang" wanted to resist to the end and refused to confess, but when they saw Qi An and Tong Ming appearing with the interrogators, the psychological defense line instantly collapsed, and they understood that at this time, the general trend had gone, and it was meaningless for them to resist any longer, so they knew everything and said everything. Among the many arrested secret agents, the most unbearable performance was He Ping, the master of the Huairou branch of the "Feiyan Hall". This guy behaved very resolutely in front of his subordinates, looking like he would rather die than give in. As a result, as soon as he was brought into the interrogation room, he was immediately frightened and weakened in fright, and without waiting for Liang Ziyue, who was sitting behind the desk, to ask questions, he confessed everything he knew about the situation of the "Feiyan Hall" in the Beiping Military Area, and even all kinds of confidential information about the "Feiyan Hall" headquarters. Later, when Qi An and Tong Ming appeared in front of him, this guy was even more frightened, kowtowing like garlic, and begged these two people to say two good words for themselves in the love of their former colleagues, and asked the masters of the "Dark Feather Hall" to spare their dogs, but they completely forgot how they treated these two "colleagues" in the first place.

had already hated He Ping very much, and Qi An and Tong Ming naturally would not intercede for him, not to mention that with the current status of the two of them, they were not qualified to intercede with He Ping. Therefore, in the face of He Ping, who was crying bitterly and begging bitterly, Qi and Tong had no actions or words except for glaring angrily. As a result, He Ping, who saw that there was no hope of intercession, was so frightened that he was incontinent, and pulled the and urine of his pants, which made the entire interrogation room stink. So much so that Liang Ziyue had to suspend the interrogation of He Ping, let him take him down to change his clothes, and find another room to continue the subsequent interrogation.

However, although the arrest operation was very successful, and the subsequent interrogation of the captured agent was relatively smooth, it did not make a breakthrough in the two things that the crossing team urgently needed to know. Due to the heavy blow of "Dark Feather" to the intelligence and spy network of "Feiyantang" in the Beiping Military Area, Zhang Yan's actions in the Beiping Army have become extremely cautious and secretive, and she has kept her own secrets and the situation of Fan Wucheng, who was successfully controlled by her, even more secret. Therefore, not only did the senior secret agents of the "Feiyan Hall" like Qi An and Tong Ming not know the hiding places of her and her backbone subordinates, but even He Ping, the master of the Huairou Branch, and Zhang Yan's henchmen who were placed in the Huairou Branch Hall and were responsible for monitoring also knew very little about the whereabouts of their bosses. Because according to the rules set by Zhang Yan, these spies who were in charge of monitoring were all spies from the main hall who were directly dispatched by Kaifeng and had never been to Lu County. His usual contact with Zhang Yan is through another spy who directly obeys Zhang Yan's orders, is independent of the Huairou branch of the "Feiyan Hall", and is not subject to He Ping's control. And the only contact person who may know Zhang Yan's specific hiding place in Lu County is the "Feiyantang" agent who committed suicide - this is probably the reason why he would rather commit suicide than be captured alive by the intelligence department's operatives. As for the name of the traitor of the Beiping Army, only Zhang Yan and a few of his backbone subordinates knew it, and He Ping, who was the head of the Huairou branch of the "Feiyan Hall", was only like Qi An and Tong Ming, who only knew about the existence of this person, but knew nothing about other situations.

Of course, the surprise interrogation of He Ping and others cannot be said to have achieved nothing at all. Although he could not get accurate information about Zhang Yan's hiding place and the names of the traitors in the Beiping Army from them, after the initial integration and analysis of these confessions, Liang Ziyue also found some valuable information from them. On the one hand, although He Ping did not know the specific hiding place of Zhang Yan and his subordinates, they could confirm that Zhang Yan and his subordinates had indeed lived in the county seat of Luxian County as Qi An and Tong Ming said. Moreover, He Ping also told Liang Ziyue that through the letters and official documents exchanged between Zhang Yan and the main hall of the "Feiyan Hall" that he came into contact, it was certain that Zhang Yan and his key subordinates were stationed in Luxian County earlier than the time when they were trying to win over high-ranking officials in the Beiping Army. In other words, Zhang Yan and his key subordinates obtained the "temporary residence permits" necessary for living in the Beiping Army through other means, instead of using the stolen "temporary residence permits" of the highest level. In addition, although He Ping did not know how Zhang Yan and his party obtained their legal status in the Beiping Army, he knew that they used Zhang's distant relatives in Lu County to cover their activities in Lu County and even the surrounding areas.

On the other hand, according to the confession of He Ping and the analysis of the time period when the Ministry of Intelligence arrested the "Feiyantang" secret agents on a large scale, it can be basically determined that the time when Zhang Yan and his backbone personnel were transferred to Lu County should be at the end of November of the seventh year of Xiande. Considering these two aspects, Liang Ziyue believed that it was possible to blockade the county seat of Luxian County, check the "temporary residence permits" of outsiders from house to house, and find that the "Feiyantang" agents who had entered Lu County at the end of November of the seventh year of Xiande were seized and identified by the "Feiyantang" secret agents who had seen Zhang Yan himself. In this way, I am not afraid that I will not be able to find Zhang Yan and his backbone subordinates.

Since the blockade of Luxian County was not something that Liang Ziyue could say, he sent people to rush back to Beiping City overnight, on the one hand, to report the arrest operation to Wang Kunjun and others, and on the other hand, to apply to the committee for authorization to blockade the county seat of Luxian, so that the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence and the action team could carry out the next step.

Although the blockade of the county seat of Luxian County and the large-scale search and arrest of the whole city can be regarded as a way to arrest Zhang Yan and his henchmen, this method is really a bit stupid and inefficient. Second, now that it is the New Year, this kind of city-wide raid will not only make the people in the city panic and have a bad New Year, but will also be used by Zhang Yan and others to spread some rumors that disturb the people's hearts. In that case, I'm afraid that if Zhang Yan and the others are caught, the county seat of Luxian County will become a mess. Therefore, the four committee members, including Li Junwu, who arrived later, did not approve of such a time-consuming, laborious, and chaotic city-wide search and arrest operation, but decided to take two other measures.

On the one hand, the investigation of the city gates in Luxian County was strengthened, and Liang Ziyue arranged for Qi An, Tong Ming, and the arrested "Feiyan Tang" secret agents like He Ping, who had been completely frightened and were determined to serve the "dark feathers" and the Beiping army in order to "make up for their mistakes", to secretly monitor and squat near the city gates, and once Zhang Yan and other members of the "Feiyan Tang" Beiping branch were discovered, they immediately notified the members of the intelligence department who were acting with them, and the action team members decided whether to arrest them immediately or secretly follow them. to discover where its nest is.

On the other hand, Liang Ziyue took the official document issued by the Jiedu Mansion and with the cooperation of the Luxian branch of the "Dark Feather" to go to the Luxian County Office to read and review all the relevant materials of the "temporary residence permit" issued during the period from the first day of the eleventh lunar month of the seventh lunar calendar of Xiande to the first day of the first lunar month of the eighth lunar calendar of Xiande, in order to find out the suspects who may be Zhang Yan and his subordinates covering their identities and investigate them. In particular, the phenomenon of using the same address to apply for multiple "temporary residence permits" should be the focus of the investigation.

After the plan was decided, Wang Kunjun and the others did not waste too much time, on the one hand, they wrote the committee's decision as a secret order, and on the other hand, they prepared the official documents of the Jiedu Mansion asking the officials at all levels in Lu County to fully cooperate with Liang Ziyue's actions, and handed them over to the messenger sent by Liang Ziyue to deliver the letter, ordering them to set off immediately, and deliver these two documents to the fastest possible After completing the interrogation, they rushed directly from Huairou to Lu County with a group of subordinates, and at this moment should have arrived in the hands of Liang Ziyue, the county seat of Lu County.
