Yuyang Mansion City, an inconspicuous residence near the City Guard Mansion.

Since the Taiping army conquered Yuyang, it has been selected as a temporary foothold for the Military Intelligence Department. The four wings on the west side have also been converted into cells for temporary detention and torture of suspected suspects. Since yesterday, there have been sounds of torture and pain-filled wails from here.

"To say or not to say?"

Two men from the MID Interrogation Section were whipping the man who was chained to the wall with a leather whip soaked in salt water.

His body was covered with scars from being whipped and tortured, and he looked extremely horrible. After a whole night and half a day of questioning, even if the person in front of him is very determined, he is already on the verge of collapse.

Gan Xing, who was sitting not far in front of this person, looked coldly at his subordinates interrogating this prisoner, and his face was obviously a little dissatisfied.

The military intelligence department of the Taiping Army is too weak in the end. If it is replaced by the torture veterans of the Empire, or the inhuman guys of the Black Guards of the Kingdom of Oman, I am afraid that it will only take a few hours to make the person in front of him spit out. However, after the military intelligence department of the Taiping Army caught him, it took several times longer to barely achieve the effect.

"Tell me, who instructed you?"

The big man in charge of the torture wiped his sweat and gave him another ten lashes.

“…… Sooner or later, the thieves of the Nine Clans will be exterminated, I'm sorry! ”

The man was obviously no longer good, so he used his last strength to scold fiercely.

Gan Xing finally couldn't help it, threw the record that had just ended and was successfully inquired on the other side on the table, and snorted coldly: "Sun Hongxian, it seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." ”

The man who was beaten and fainted shook violently, his eyes showed a fierce light like cannibalism, and he said angrily: "How do you know my name? It's Ma Lei! It had to be him! He spoke! ”

Seeing that Sun Hong had a violent reaction, Gan Xing knew that this incident hit him hard, and took advantage of the victory to pursue: "He said everything, including your identity and the purpose of coming to Yuyang...... And the address of your wife and children and hometown! ”

Hearing Gan Xing's almost direct threat, the man didn't know where the strength came from, struggled violently, and scolded: "Despicable and shameless thief, don't want to do anything to my family...... It's useless, they're in Dengzhou City, you can't get in! You'll never get in! ”

"Ignorance."

Gan Xing coldly spit out two words, looked at him with pity in his eyes, and said: "My Taiping Army can even defeat Wu'an in Taiping County, why can't I defeat Dengzhou?" What's more, if you want to destroy your family, why do you need a large army to enter it? As long as two or three assassins infiltrate, you can easily take the thirteen members of your family. ”

"You dare!"

The man was furious, his head bulging, but the weakness of his body and the numerous wounds reminded him that he was a prisoner. After that anger passed, he clearly realized that the other party's threat was real. The Taiping not only dared, but were fully capable of taking out his family.

The government of Dengzhou does not care at all about an ordinary officer recruited and developed locally by the Imperial Intelligence Bureau. It is even more impossible to send a large number of guards to guard his family at all times.

"Your decision is a matter of your family's life...... Think it through. ”

grasped his lifeline, and Gan Xing had no fear.

This guy who was assigned by the Dengzhou government to infiltrate Yuyang to contact the local Haoqiang who was hostile to the Taiping army and tried to launch a rebellion to destroy the stability of the country, he would definitely obediently spit out what he knew.

As for Ma Lei, the deputy who infiltrated with him, although he also knew a lot of things, he was only responsible for helping and covering, and he had limited knowledge of the specific plan. It is precisely because of this that Gan Xing will put the main breakthrough on Sun Hongxian. He had a feeling that this guy must be a big fish.

"I say!"

was tortured to the brink of collapse, still dying with only one breath, and now being threatened by a family, Sun Hongxian finally chose to give in.

Although he betrayed the empire, he felt very ashamed in his heart, but this way he could avoid the torture of the Taiping army, the safety of his family could be guaranteed, and he could even be reused and rich afterwards, which made him feel a lot more relaxed when he said those two words.

"Isn't it over like this?"

Gan Xing sneered lightly, and then asked the first question: "Who sent you?" How many people are there? What is the specific purpose? ”

Because he was anxious, he said that it was a question, but Gan Xing asked three questions in one breath.

Sun Hong first asked for some water, and after taking a few breaths, he had some strength, and then he sorted out his chaotic thoughts because of the torture, and said: "It was the general of the Protector Army, Gao Zhou, who came forward, and a person in charge of the Emperor's ** Intelligence Bureau in Dengzhou, 'Lao Hei', was in charge of presiding. On the way to Yuyang, Ma Lei and I were the only two. Chishang Province and the lockdown may have other dispatches, but I don't know. The specific purpose was to try to create unrest, plan a rebellion, and delay the Taiping attack. If you can, it is best to force back the main force of the Taiping army that is attacking Wushan. ”

This result was not unexpected by Gan Xing.

He picked up the pen and wrote something in crooked handwriting on the paper, and asked, "So, what about the plan in Yuyang Mansion?" What did you do after you infiltrated? ”

"After sneaking into Yuyang under a pseudonym, I first inquired with Ma Lei about the situation for a day, and then contacted several nobles and Haoqiang in Yuyang Mansion. After that, I managed to get in touch with a few former Imperial soldiers who were recruited by you...... After that, I was arrested by your people. ”

After revealing an ugly wry smile, Sun Hong didn't wait for Gan Xing to urge, and reported the several forces contacted one by one.

The results are somewhat shocking.

"The four brothers of the Li family, the Chu family, the Yan family, and the Zhu San Chamber of Commerce in Yuyang...... Hehe, even Wei Zizhan agreed? ”

Gan Xing laughed angrily, these forces, from the nobles of Yuyang, the **** Haoqiang, the local chamber of commerce, the three religions and nine streams. If the previous ones were hostile to the Taiping Army, they just didn't dare to act rashly on weekdays, so they just jumped out at this moment. Like that Wei Zi Zhan, he was the first to welcome the Taiping Army, and he also helped the Taiping Army several times on weekdays. didn't want to fight this hypocritical guy on the surface, but he even agreed to Sun Hongxian and agreed to rebel together.

"General Tiangong is really good, these aristocratic families and powerful people really can't give absolute trust!"

He admired Chen Wu's repeated advice and foresight, but he didn't understand very much why the Taiping army didn't directly sweep the caves with thunder and use soldiers to raid all of them.

Thinking about it, he could only summarize his thoughts too simply.

Shaking his head, he wrote down all the names, and asked, "When did the rebellion start?" How many people did you gather? Where to start? After the fact, what benefits did Dengzhou promise that made them so tempted? ”

"Everyone agreed to start together in five days. The Li family has 40 people, the Chu family has 30 people, and the Yan family has nearly 100 people...... All combined, there are about 400 people. The sword weapon can basically be used by each person, and the armor is gone. Originally, I thought that if I could contact another group of surrendered troops who were accepted by you, the inside and outside should be combined, and the grasp could be greater, but I didn't expect ......"

Sun Hong sighed first, annoyed that he had underestimated the Taiping Army and the Military Intelligence Department's mastery of the army.

If you don't do this much, I'm afraid there will be no current catastrophe.

"Four hundred!"

Gan Xing was slightly moved, although the Taiping army left a wing in Yuyang, and the second batch of recruits were also training, but if they were suddenly attacked, even if they could put down the rebellion afterwards, I was afraid that they would have to suffer a lot of losses.

"As for the benefits......

Sun Hong paused for a moment, and then said: "All the participants, each family has at least one viscount, and it is hereditary for three generations. If you can recover Yuyang, any of the following positions in Songjiang Wufu City Guard can be picked at will. In addition, all the captured stolen goods of the Taiping army belonged to everyone involved in the war. No matter who it originally belonged to, it will not be recovered. The one who contributed the most, or could force the main force of the Taiping Army to return to defense and play the empire, he could go to Zhongzhou to meet and accept the royal family reward! Plus a hereditary title! ”

"What a big deal over there in Dengzhou!"

Despite being an enemy, Gan Xing couldn't help but be taken aback by this offer.

A hereditary viscount of three generations is attractive enough. Not to mention the latter few rewards, especially the final acceptance of the royal family in person, as well as the hereditary title, which is absolutely not exchanged. To be glorious, there is glory, and there is no shortage of benefits and benefits.

In these years, although the titles of the empire are much more abundant than when the country was founded, it is not too much to say that they can be bought with money, but hereditary titles are still extremely rare.

It is no wonder that these forces in Yuyang Mansion were moved by Sun Hongxian's words so lightly.

First, the main force of the Taiping army was not there, and the city was empty; Second, there is a huge agitation of interests, coupled with the inspiration of righteousness. If you change to Gan Xing yourself, maybe your mind will be tempted when you are hot.

But...... On the side of Dengzhou Mansion, the Taiping Army can't be helped, so they can only count on these shady methods.

With murder in his eyes, he strode out of the interrogation room. These Yuyang forces who took the initiative to jump out were just honest and lurking before, and General Tiangong was unwilling to move you out of his own considerations, so it was your fate. But now, since you are looking for death, don't blame the Taiping Army for being ruthless.

Because of the urgency of the situation, after ordering someone to pass the news to Wushan overnight, for fear that Sun Hongxian's disappearance would cause the Zhu San Chamber of Commerce to act in advance, Gan Xing quickly contacted the garrison of Yuyang. With the cooperation of the military intelligence department and the defenders, they took a monopoly and seized these forces that tried to rebel and launched a thunderous strike.

Seeing the Taiping army coming to the door, some forces panicked, did not dare to resist at all, and shouted hoarsely.

There are also two families who realized that the news was exposed and chose to fight to the death. It's a pity that their weak and ridiculous resistance to the doorstep of the scattered sand and being killed by the army at the door has no effect at all.

In just a few minutes, dozens of people who were hastily entangled were defeated and fled by the Taiping army.

After a brief period of chaos, the Yuyang Mansion quickly regained its calm. All the forces and individuals who conspired to participate in the rebellion were all taken down by the Military Intelligence Service and imprisoned in the prison of Yuyang Mansion. The family property and fields were also confiscated and returned to the Taiping army!

At the same time, the alarm news was quickly whipped, and the starry night spread to the two prefectures of Chishang and the closed city.
