Chapter 50: Shadows
Since Cui Zhenhai asked people to issue the convening order of the Shadow Division in the name of Lu Qu, half a day has passed, and there has been no trace of the secret spies of the Spy Division to report.
"Fengcheng is such a big place, it must be impossible to say that the people of the Shadow Division have not heard the news, but why don't they come?" Cui Zhenhai was very puzzled, and when he released the news, he had already explained that it was the will of the imperial court.
He believed that it was impossible for every person in the spy department to have problems, and those who did not have problems should not be avoided.
Wu Feng listened to Cui Zhenhai's words and pondered for a moment, "Maybe they are afraid of something, people with problems naturally don't want people without problems to come forward, otherwise I wouldn't have encountered someone chasing and killing the spy personnel of the Shadow Division." ”
"Are we just waiting? Do you want to do something? It's not good to explain to His Highness if you don't get anything! ”
Wu Feng was not in a hurry, and smiled at Cui Zhenhai, "General Cui doesn't have to worry, if I were one of those Shadow Divisions, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to come out." ”
"What do you mean?" Cui Zhenhai was a little puzzled.
"I'll wait until the evening."
Cui Zhenhai also realized the problem, "Then General Ben will escort them again, come on!" ”
"Please command, General!"
"You go to the military camp outside the city, order five hundred soldiers, a team of twenty people, and let them light torches at various major intersections in Fengcheng before dark, greet the spy of the spy department, and announce them by the way, come directly to the state governor's mansion! General Ben is here to keep them safe! ”
"Yes!"
Wu Feng looked at Cui Zhenhai's instructions and agreed to his approach. Then he turned his head to look at Lu Qu, "Lord Lu, now that the evidence is in hand and the disaster has been initially controlled, have we solved the problem of these corrupt officials?" ”
Lu Qu nodded, "Well, think about it, the alternate officials sent by the imperial court should be almost here, it's time to arrest them, General Cui, please send someone to the counties to bring all the county government officials involved in the case to Fengcheng, let's focus on the case!" ”
Cui Zhenhai has long wanted to catch these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, "Okay, tomorrow morning, I will send someone to arrest them all!" ”
"Jiayuan County, let Xue Li go with him, he knows His Highness's residence, let him report to His Highness alone, and see what His Highness's next arrangements are." Wu Feng continued.
After the three of them discussed the matter, they drank tea and chatted, waiting for the night to fall, if nothing else, there would definitely be a good show tonight.
The three of them had dinner, and when the hour was approaching, five hundred soldiers of the Protector Army had already gathered at the crossroads of Fengcheng, holding torches in their hands, and shouting every once in a while, "General Cui invites the Shadow Division colleagues to meet at the Governor's Mansion, and I will keep you safe!" ”
In the night, although the lights had been turned off in the city, none of them had fallen asleep, and everyone knew that something great would happen tonight, and they had already closed their gates, and did not dare to make any sound, for fear that some unexpected calamity would befall them.
In a mansion in Xicheng, the door was quietly opened, and a man in night clothes walked out.
Holding the Shadow Division's special sword, he quietly jumped onto the roof and flew in the direction of the Governor's Mansion.
Suddenly, a dark arrow shot out from his right side, locking directly on his path.
As if he had been prepared, he turned over and jumped off the roof, ran wildly on the street, and shouted loudly, "Someone intercepted the spy and went to the state governor's mansion!" ...”
The soldiers standing on the street heard the shouts here, and quickly gathered in his direction, shouting in their mouths, "Protect the Shadow Division colleagues, anyone who dares to stop the Shadow Division colleagues from going to the State Governor's Mansion will be killed!" ”
Each of them had a military-made arrow crossbow in their hands, and dozens of people fired at the same time in a short distance, which was difficult to avoid, and the people chasing the Shadow Division behind saw the scene in front of them and knew that it was impossible to stop the killing, so they could only fly away from the crossbow arrows shot by the soldiers and disappear into the night.
The same thing happened in Dongcheng, Nancheng, and Beicheng one after another, at this time Wu Feng and Cui Zhenhai were already standing on the roof of the State Pastoral Mansion, listening to the shouts around them, the two looked at each other, and Wu Feng gave a thumbs up, "General Cui is worthy of being born in the general's door, and he is skilled in the art of war, and this trick really messes up the enemy's square inch!" ”
"Hehe, I'm calling it throwing bricks and attracting jade~" Cui Zhenhai is also rare and modest.
"I'm afraid that they will also fish in troubled waters~" Wu Feng was also worried.
"I'm not afraid of them fishing in troubled waters, as long as they dare to come, I'll catch turtles in an urn!"
"Okay, General Cui is so courageous! Admire under it! Hearing Cui Zhenhai's words, Wu Feng arched his hands to each other with admiration.
At this time, the first person had already come to them, standing on the roof, the man looked at Cui Zhenhai in general's uniform and Wu Feng in his hand, arched his hand, and did not speak!
The two of them bowed their hands in return, "Your Excellency, please wait for a while, and when other colleagues arrive, we will talk in detail!" ”
The person who came didn't speak, turned to look at the other black-clothed people running towards the state pastor in the night sky, not knowing what they were thinking.
For a whole hour, fifteen men in black came.
Seeing that no one was coming over, Cui Zhenhai made a gesture of invitation to the fifteen men in black, turned over and jumped off the roof.
"Tell me to go down, and when tonight, no one will come to the state pastor's mansion, and the soldiers will return to the barracks, and at the same time, leave a hundred people to guard the state pastor's mansion!"
After the soldiers went down to give the order, Cui Zhenhai and the three of them stood in the courtyard of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion and looked at the fifteen people standing opposite, their faces showed joy, "First of all, welcome all colleagues from the Shadow Division, the imperial court still believes in you, I just want to hear what happened, so that the Espionage Department of Liangzhou has not sent any useful news in the past two years?!" ”
After saying this, none of the three spoke again, quietly watching their reactions.
After about thirty breaths, seeing that everyone still didn't speak, a man in black standing in the middle slowly stood up, "Since you don't speak, then let me start up." In fact, I reported the disaster in Liangzhou last year, and when I found out at the beginning of this year, I also reported to the imperial court when I found out that there was a smuggling of disaster relief food, but I never got a reply, and I thought it was the imperial court that had other arrangements. It wasn't until three days ago that someone wanted to assassinate me, and I knew that someone in the Shadow Division must have betrayed us! ”
"Where are you responsible?" Wu Feng looked at him and asked.
"Lingnan County!"
"Are you the only one in Lingnan County?"
"I know three people, and I'm the only one left! The other two had been killed the day before yesterday, and I had nowhere to go, so I ran into Fengcheng! ”
When a person next to him heard his words, he snorted coldly, "Hmph! There is no proof of death, who can know if you killed those two people? ”
When the man heard his words, he immediately drew his knife and pointed at the man, "What do you mean?" Are you suspicious of me? ”
"That's it! Shut up! Cui Zhenhai stopped their quarrel in time, "Now is not the time to argue, there is time for you to prove your innocence." ”
Cui Zhenhai looked at them, "Now listen to my orders, the people of Lingnan County are standing aside!" Seeing that in addition to the person just now, there was another person who also stood up, and he nodded slightly.
"Qinglin County is standing over there, Fengcheng is standing on this side, Jiayuan County is ......"
Until the distribution was completed, looking at the people who were divided into eight teams, Cui Zhenhai frowned, and none of the people from Jiayuan County had arrived at present.
He looked at Wu Feng, and Wu Feng also shook his head.
Temporarily letting go of this question, Cui Zhenhai threw out another question, "Do you all know each other?" ”
The first person to speak just now spoke again, "General Cui, you may not know the Shadow Division, the colleagues of the Espionage Division do not know each other, everyone can only be in one-line contact, and they all report information through the designated location, and there is no contact at ordinary times." The two people I know also guessed because of their intuition and sense that each other's styles of doing things are very similar. ”
"Do you disclose information to each other in private?"
The man shook his head, "This is forbidden by the Shadow Division!" We never broke each other's identities, and we never had an agreement, but we were used to a tavern and had two drinks when we met. ”
"Since there is no agreement and we don't want to see each other, how did you know that the two of them were killed?"
The man was silent for a moment, "Three days ago on the night, I went to Xiangyun Restaurant to drink as usual, and when I just walked to the door of the tavern, there were five black-clothed people surrounding me, at first I thought it was a martial arts person, but I didn't offend any martial arts people, during the fight, I saw that the knife technique of one of these five people is very similar to the knife technique that our Shadow Division has learned since childhood, although he tried his best to cover it up, but he has practiced it for so long since he was a child, how could it escape my eyes." ”
The man looked up at the sky and took a long breath, "I shouldn't have called them to save me!" Now that I think about it, I caused them to be tired, and when I heard my cry for help, the two of them rushed out of the tavern, and the three of us killed one of them, and then desperately ripped off the collar of that person, just to verify my idea, but I didn't expect it to be really the hands of our spy department! ”
He closed his eyes, tears streaming down his cheeks into the black cloth that covered his face, "They desperately pestered the remaining four people in order to get me to send this news, and the result was ......"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Cui Zhenhai looked at him, he could feel the grief and resentment in this person's heart, the pain of losing his comrades and being betrayed by his comrades-in-arms was conceivable as a soldier.
Cui Zhenhai slowly walked to his side and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, this revenge will definitely be avenged, the top priority now is to find out who is the spy hiding among you, I think, this is what you want to know most now!" ”
"Yes, otherwise we wouldn't have risked our lives to get here!"
"Okay, since everyone has the same goal, then please cooperate with my actions!" Speaking of this, Cui Zhenhai looked at the fifteen people, "You have also seen it, there is still a lack of colleagues in Jiayuan County, I think everyone also wants to know their whereabouts, early tomorrow morning, you will set off together to find their whereabouts in Jiayuan County." You can monitor each other throughout the whole process, and if anyone notices that one of the fifteen of you is behaving abnormally, they must be informed in time, do you understand? ”
Seeing that no one responded, Cui Zhenhai shouted out again with a loud voice, "Do you understand?!" ”
This time, everyone was no longer silent, and shouted in unison, "Understood!" ”
"Okay, now everyone goes to the same room to rest, no one is allowed to go out of the door for half a step, do you understand?!"
"Understood!"
