Nine heads fell to the ground, and the voices of the warden echoed in their dying voices, each shouting that they had been wronged, and several of them stared at each other, as if telling their grievances.

There was an inexplicable desolation in the heart of the supervisor, this was not the first time he had been beheaded, it stands to reason that he had long been used to it, but this feeling was so obvious.

It may have something to do with the shouts of those people before they died, and he truthfully reported the situation to Chai Jiangtao, the Soviet military division.

The reason why Chai Jiangtao was reluctant to come forward was because he was afraid of seeing this kind of scene, but he was still affected by the prison officials, and his heart was more desolate.

A quarter of an hour later, he sent the news to the palace, expecting the king of thieves to feel the same way as himself, but it turned out that he was wrong.

The King of Thieves was full of excitement, and he did not feel any sadness, and said with a smile: "Just kill it, it is enough to deter the younger generation! You continue to investigate, and you must find out all the spies! Reward those who reported the spies before, and encourage more people to report them!"

Chai Jiangtao expressed his worries about the report, and the king of thieves said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, what is a false accusation, you just need to find out the matter, the loyal people will return them a clean slate, this king personally encourages them a few words, they don't care." ”

Chai Jiangtao frowned, and said in his heart, what you said is simple, if you want to prove a person's innocence, it is not something that can be done in a day or two, the nine people who were killed just now, did you give them a chance to prove their innocence?

In order to prevent the same thing from happening, he decided not to report it to the king of thieves until he had full evidence. нéiУāпGê

In the Great Army Division's Mansion, Zhuge Haotang looked surprised: "All nine people were killed?"

Zhuge Yingqi nodded and said, "Yes, the human head has been hung on the pole in front of the palace, there is no doubt about it." ”

The old man swallowed a big mouthful of saliva: "The king of thieves is crazy, I don't believe that people can be convicted overnight, that's two hall masters and seven helmsmen, nine living human lives, kill if you say kill!"

Zhuge Yingqi said with deep meaning: "It is certain that the nine of them are not spies. ”

"Why?"

"It's very simple, because the person who reported them was Ye Yunyang's hand. Zhuge Yingqi explained.

Zhuge Hao patted his head: "The kid surnamed Ye is so shrewd, he is taking the opportunity to weaken the power of the king of thieves, and the king of thieves thought that he was killing a spy, and he didn't realize that he was fooled." By the way, are there any of the nine of us inside?"

Zhuge Yingqi shook her head and said, "No." ”

The old man let out a sigh: "That's good, as long as we don't lose, he likes to kill whoever he wants." ”

But Zhuge Yingqi said: "This is only the first batch of reported objects, and I didn't dare to guarantee whether Ye Yunyang would report another batch, and it is difficult to say whether there are any of us in it at that time." ”

The old man pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "No, he is a smart man, and a strategy will not be used twice, you can rest assured of this." ”

In his opinion, the king of thieves is only in a daze, so he will kill the nine suspects indiscriminately, and after a long time, he will definitely realize the mistake and no longer kill innocents indiscriminately.

He could think of this, Ye Yunyang couldn't have thought of it, even if he couldn't think of it, the treacherous and cunning Chen Muyang would definitely be able to think of it, and it would never happen again.

Zhuge Yingqi said puzzledly: "Even so, Ye Yunyang and they are just holding the sheep, and they have not survived the crisis, with this lesson, whether it is the king of thieves or the four army divisions, they will be very careful, can they get out of the way?"

"To be honest, I'd like to see how he's going to respond, so let's wait and see. The old man said expectantly.

The Second Army Division's Mansion, Ye Yunyang's small courtyard.

Chen Muyang said while drinking tea: "The thief ordered to reward Ge Zhengliang, Ding Yuanlang and others, because of the internal traitor incident, in order to avoid the leakage of military intelligence, the strategic research work was suspended. Hey, it's too bad for Song Wenshan to appear, at this juncture, if the king of thieves feels that the previous plan is no longer safe, he will order it to be abolished, and our efforts will be in vain. ”

This is also what Ye Yunyang is most worried about, and how to get through the current difficulties, he only thinks of a general idea, and how to implement it has not yet been considered.

He wanted to know one thing and asked, "What is the current state of the Fourth Army Division?"

After Chai Jiangtao returned to the mansion, the person who strictly ordered the person to keep the content of the report confidential, and no one was allowed to disclose it, and those who violated the order were severely punished.

This shows that the death of nine people has a great impact on him, to put it bluntly, he is only carrying out the orders of the king of thieves, but it does not prevent him from having the idea of careless human life.

In addition, the great military division Zhuge Haotang, since he knew that there were spies who had infiltrated the high-level of Nanshan, the king of thieves only trusted Chai Jiangtao, and the three military advisors ranked before him were also listed as objects of suspicion, at least until now, the king of thieves had not summoned any of the three of them.

Chen Muyang said: "The army is very lively in the mansion, and the scene of the New Year has not been affected by the spies, but he does not accept anyone's congratulations, and he entertains himself behind closed doors. ”

Ye Yunyang smiled, Zhuge Haotang's approach was expected, as long as it didn't touch his interests, he wouldn't bother to meddle in his affairs, and the more fierce the trouble outside, the happier he was.

So when choosing the target of the report, the two of them did their homework and screened it several times before they selected the final person, in order to avoid "accidental injury".

Chen Muyang said worriedly: "Chai Jiangtao's ability is limited, but he has become cautious, as long as he is willing to work hard, he can always find some clues, we can't sit still, what to do, do you have a plan?"

Asking in such a earnest tone shows that he has no idea.

"I have an idea, because it's a risky move, so we have to wait for the right time. He paused, then said, "Considering the situation of all parties, the time is basically ripe for us to take a step forward." ”

"What's the plan?"

"I want to get away with it!"

At noon that day, someone came to the Fourth Army Division's Mansion and handed a report letter to Chai Jiangtao.

After opening the envelope and reading the contents of the letter cursoryly, Chai Jiangtao frowned and asked the visitor: "Are you sure you want to report Counselor Ma Hongyuan?"

The man's name was Yuan Xingbang, who was the helmsman of the white horse helmsman in Zhenyuantang, and replied solemnly: "That's right, I think Ma Hongyuan has some suspicions, first of all, he is not a native of Nanshan, he only appeared twenty years ago. According to him, before coming to Nanshan, he had been in the stronghold in charge of intelligence for ten years, but after some investigation, it was proved that he was lying, and that stronghold did exist, but the surviving veterans had no impression of him. Also, he married a total of three wives, but only gave him one child, and died at a very young age, which is very abnormal. ”

Chai Jiangtao shook the letter in his hand: "In addition to these two points, do you have more specific evidence?"

Yuan Xingbang replied: "Yes! Ten years ago, when he was still the helmsman, he drank flower wine in the city of thieves, saying that Nanshan would be destroyed by the Han Dynasty one day, and promised everyone that he would see it within twenty years. ”

Chai Jiangtao sneered: "Can drunken words also be evidence, whoever drinks too much will brag and talk nonsense." ”

"Listen to me, the noodles are still there. Yuan Xingbang swore solemnly: "At that time, there were two companions who drank flower wine with him, and in less than three months after that, one of these two people died of illness and the other disappeared, isn't it strange?"

"Okay, I see, you can go. Chai Jiangtao said in a flat tone.

After Yuan Xingbang left, he thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision: "Send someone to arrest Counselor Ma Hongyuan, and this army division will personally interrogate him." ”

The reason for this decision is that Yuan Xingbang's three testimonies against Ma Hongyuan even exceed the evidence of the beheaded man today.

Ma Hongyuan was "invited" back, just like the person who was arrested yesterday, he was awe-inspiring and arrogant, no matter what you asked, there was only one answer: "I am loyal to the king of thieves, not a spy." ”

The same style was regarded as sophistry by Chai Jiangtao yesterday, but today he doesn't think so, when he thinks of the nine heads hanging at the gate of the palace, he will tell himself: Don't make hasty decisions, don't act rashly, everything must be based on evidence as the first element.

The inconclusive interrogation made him feel a little lost, and he turned around and walked out of the prison after being strictly guarded by the jailers.

As soon as I returned to the front hall, someone came to say: "The Second Army Division asks to see you." ”

He straightened out his slightly messy coat, adjusted his mood, and said loudly, "Please!"

Chen Muyang, who was dressed in civilian clothes, walked in with unhurried steps and hugged his fist at him: "Fourth Army Division." ”

He immediately returned the salute: "How can the second army division have time to come to me, you and I have been ministers in the same hall for many years, if there is anything to say, please sit down." ”

"Still don't sit down, I'm turning myself in. Chen Muyang's tone was a little sad.

"Self-...... Surrender?" Chai Jiangtao's eyes widened: "Don't be kidding, this is not a joke, you ...... Are you a spy?"

Chen Muyang smiled indifferently: "Of course not." ”

Chai Jiangtao was even more puzzled: "Then you said that you surrendered, what do you mean?"

Chen Muyang stood up straight and said: "My counselor Ma Hongyuan was arrested by you, someone must have reported him, right? The nine people who were reported yesterday were all beheaded, and I think Counselor Ma will not be able to escape this catastrophe, if he is convicted of being a spy, as his direct boss, I will not be able to escape the involvement, rather than waiting to be reported, it is better to come and surrender myself." ”

Chai Jiangtao smiled bitterly: "Why do you think so, let's not talk about whether Counselor Ma is a spy or not, even if he is, he can't implicate you." According to the logic of your criminal boss who is guilty of the same crime, there is no innocent person in our Nanshan, and everyone is still a king of thieves, is it true that even the king of thieves is guilty?"

Chen Muyang blinked: "But everyone is saying that as long as the person who is reported is a dead end, Ma Hongyuan is designated as a spy, and someone will definitely use this to report me, saying that I am with him." ”

"Who passed on this? Second Army Division, listen to me, I can guarantee that there will be no such thing!" Chai Jiangtao was furious.

"Really?" Chen Muyang still didn't believe it.

"It's true," Chai Jiangtao said righteously.

"And what about the nine people who were killed this morning?"

“......”
