Chapter 15 I see, I see, fifteen
Li Daguan was frightened by Qin Tai's half-truthful threat, in fact, no matter who was so frightened, he would feel empty, not to mention Li Daguan, who was not sure in his heart. Li Daguan sat on the ground and lowered his head to think about the problem, but in fact, there were only three roads in front of him. First, escape. Do everything you can to get rid of these people and get out. But will he be able to escape? What happens after you escape? The government has already begun to deal with the people of the Cult, and once his identity is revealed, he will still be wanted and hunted down. If you return to the Divine Cult, even if you bring important information, according to the practice of dealing with traitors within the Divine Cult, you will not be able to get a good result for yourself. What happens after you escape? How to live? Second, fight. and perish with them, lest they be taken back and tormented. According to the imperial court's method of dealing with people like them, people like Li Daguan will definitely execute them one by one. This is not only to deter the common people and make the common people dare not despise the court, but also to prevent these people from resurrecting and have the opportunity to retaliate against the court in the future. Li Daguan is not a brave person, and it is impossible for him to sacrifice himself for the sake of the Divine Sect in order to keep secrets, so he does not dare to fight with these. The third is to betray the Divine Cult to preserve itself. Although Li Daguan is a member of the organization, as long as he is willing to surrender to the imperial court and tell the important secrets of the organization, he may be able to exchange for the protection of the imperial court. Generally speaking, in the case of major meritorious service, some accomplices can be exempted from death or even rewarded. Li Daguan knew that there were many people in the organization, but there were not many people like him who knew top secrets and held a certain level of grass-roots knowledge. As long as he reports the Divine Cult as an important witness, and identifies everything he knows and all the people he knows, this credit must be not small. It should be enough to use this credit in exchange for your own freedom and life, and you can even get a reward from the imperial court. As soon as Li Daguan thought of this, his determination in his heart was great, and he decided to cooperate with Qin Tai.
Since Daguan Li decided to tell Qin Tai his secret, he didn't need to be afraid of Qin Tai. Qin Tai also saw that his words were working, so he brought this Li Daguan to his room. Qiu Xiaoqiu went to wake up the puppy, and at the same time arranged for the puppy to prepare dinner for everyone. Qin Tai and his wife interrogated Li Daguan in the room to see if what Li Daguan said was true, and whether he had concealed or lied to Qin Tai. Qin Tai felt that since Li Daguan was willing to cooperate, there should be no need to hide anything from Qin Tai, and the only possibility was to negotiate conditions with Qin Tai. Qin Tai was not afraid of Li Daguan's conditions, because Li Daguan didn't dare to open his mouth, and he also had to worry about his future.
Li Daguan really asked Qin Tai to show the official certificate first, and then decide whether to cooperate with Qin Tai according to Qin Tai's position. If Qin Tai was not from the government, Li Daguan would not have said a word. If Qin Tai's position was not high, Li Daguan would also ask to see an official of sufficient level before speaking. His ultimate goal is to get personal assurances from officials of a certain rank to ensure his personal safety before revealing the secrets he knows.
Qin Tai was not surprised by Daguan Li's request, if he were the current Daguan Li, he would have done the same. After all, this secret is a big secret, and once Li Daguan says it, he will make the traitor of the Divine Sect have no chance to turn back. Regardless of the organization, the defection of members in private and the confession of everything to the court are two different concepts. Of course, defecting in private is considered a traitor in the eyes of the people of the organization, but as long as this person does not tell the secrets of the organization, the people of the organization will not kill or even let this person go. In some organizations, this negative approach has been taken towards unimportant people. As long as the person swears not to tell the secrets of the organization, and the person is an inconsequential person, the organization will automatically and voluntarily leave the organization according to him. Either maiming or dumb or blind, he will be spared a life. But if you report the organization to the imperial court, you are really betraying the organization, and you are the biggest enemy of the organization. Dealing with this kind of traitor is not only fierce but also exterminate, and his family will be avenged along with him. Therefore, ordinary people do not dare to be such traitors who betray the organization, and the reason why Li Daguan did not report the organization in the first place was because he was worried that the people of the Divine Sect would not die to him. Li Daguan has now figured it out and wants to cooperate with the imperial court to report the Divine Cult, of course, he also needs to get the protection and certain benefits of the imperial court. Qin Tai handled this matter on behalf of the imperial court, and he just had the right to do so. Besides, as soon as Li Daguan opened his mouth, he promised to hand over a large sum of money and all the secrets, and I believe that even if Qin Tai asked for a certain amount of reward for Li Daguan afterwards, it would not be a big problem.
Qin Tai showed the certificate given to him by the imperial court, which Li Daguan didn't believe in originally. Because Qin Tai is not very old, he doesn't look like a person who is a big official, and he doesn't look like a person who has been entrusted with carte blanche by the imperial court. But Li Daguan was not an inexperienced person, he could see that the official certificate in Qin Tai's hand was true, and the big seal on it was also true. When Li Daguan saw Qin Tai's name clearly, Li Daguan finally believed it completely. Others may not know Qin Tai, others may have forgotten Qin Tai, but people like Li Daguan dare not forget Qin Tai's name. As early as the beginning of the organization's establishment, Qin Tai's name had already been on the secret blacklist of the Divine Cult. The high-ranking officials of the Divine Sect have repeatedly reminded the people below not to provoke Qin Tai, let alone to have a head-on conflict with Qin Tai. Li Daguan knew Qin Tai very well and remembered Qin Tai's name deeply in his heart. Qin Tai became the person Li Daguan feared the most except for the top level of the organization, and even more feared Li Daguan than the killer. Li Daguan had no doubts about Qin Tai's appointment as the general manager of this matter, he felt that it was natural to do so, and it was absolutely correct for the imperial court to do so. After Li Daguan saw his idol and knew that he would never be able to defeat Qin Tai, Li Daguan simply didn't hide it at all.
Qin Tai saw that Daguan Li was very cooperative, and of course he was not stingy. On behalf of the imperial court, he promised Li Daguan three points, the first point is to ensure the safety of Li Daguan's life, whether it is during the investigation of the case or after the fact. Qin Tai will do his best to ensure the personal safety of Li Daguan. The second point is to ensure the safety of Li Daguan's family. Li Daguan's family will never be implicated afterwards, giving Li Daguan's family a safe and stable future. The third point is that Qin Tai will ask the court for credit for Li Daguan. While exempting Li Daguan from all his crimes, he asked for a reward, which was enough for Li Daguan to live in peace for a lifetime. These three guarantees made Li Daguan very satisfied, and coupled with his tall image in Li Daguan's heart, Li Daguan told all his secrets. Qin Tai asked Li Daguan to sit down first, Qin Tai was mainly responsible for listening, Li Daguan was responsible for speaking, and Zhan Xiaoxiao was responsible for recording all the conversations. Remember that this is different from Ding Chong and Yi Tian, it was Qin Tai who interrogated Ding Chong and Yi Tian at the beginning, and now it is Qin Tai and Li Daguan talking, not Qin Tai interrogating Li Daguan. This attitude is a hint, which has less burden and more respect in Li Daguan's heart, and can make Li Daguan feel more relaxed.
Li Daguan was born in a small village in Yunnan where ethnic minorities live together, and it is said that his father is a descendant of mixed blood of Han and Miao people, so he is neither Han nor Miao, and his status is very embarrassing. Li Daguan's mother was a kind-hearted Han girl, and she sympathized with Li Daguan's father, but she didn't expect Li Daguan's father to leave Li Daguan's mother. At that time, a Han girl was pregnant unmarried, and the other party was a person of mixed Miao and Han descent, of course Li Daguan's grandparents did not accept it. Li Daguan's mother was kicked out of the house with a child, and Li Daguan's mother went to find Li Daguan's father, but she didn't expect Li Daguan's father to become someone else's son-in-law. Li Daguan's mother had no choice but to leave her hometown and come to Sichuan. The reason why I want to leave my hometown is to avoid gossip, and I can make up a reason to start a new life when I go to a foreign country. After arriving in Sichuan, Li Daguan's mother made up a story, saying that her husband died shortly after she got married, and she had to come to her husband's hometown with her child to join her. Unexpectedly, her in-laws couldn't find it, and she couldn't go back, so she had to give birth to a child here and take root. Li Daguan was born in Sichuan and grew up almost like the children here.
