Zhao Hu wanted to make all kinds of preparations for his brothers to leave Chengdu smoothly before leaving for intelligence before leaving for the state governor's mansion, so he used a trick to make something out of nothing, and within a few days, Sima Lang's head became two big ones.

Zhao Hu and others took advantage of the time to wander around the city, spreading a false news, to the effect that Jizhou had been captured by the Jin army, and now Zhao Xing was ready to lead his troops to cross the Yellow River south, send troops to Yanzhou, and start a decisive battle with Cao Cao's army in Guandu.

This news looked inconspicuous, but as soon as it spread, it immediately caused chaos in the city of Chengdu. Many merchants from the Sili region, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and even northern Jingzhou hurriedly began to pack their belongings, eager to return to their hometowns and transfer their families and possessions immediately.

Zhao Xing was about to cross the Yellow River, and once Cao Cao's army was defeated, the Jin cavalry would then be able to sweep across the Central Plains, and the traffic between the Central Plains and Yizhou would be completely blocked. If these merchants in the Central Plains region did not return to their hometowns while the Jin army had not yet moved south, they were afraid that they would not even be able to see their families in the future.

Although Chengdu is far away from the Central Plains, it is a place where traders gather, and everyone is naturally anxious when they hear that their hometown is about to die, but the soldiers who defend the city just block the city gate and do not let them go, which makes the public angry. Many Central Plains businessmen let out cruel words, and then did not let everyone go back, canceled all the order contracts, even if they lost a percentage of the deposit, they no longer bought Yizhou's goods!

Others don't know the energy of these businessmen, but Sima Lang, who is mainly responsible for Yizhou's financial income, knows it in his heart. The reason why the Sima family has been able to fight steadily in Yizhou over the years, and now they have raised nearly 100,000 troops openly and secretly, is to sell various commodities, such as salt, iron, silk, cotton and linen, condiments, medicinal materials, ores, and so on. And these businessmen who went south and north are the main force to help Yizhou embark on the road to prosperity, once they are completely offended this time, it will be equivalent to cutting off Yizhou's financial road in the future.

Under tremendous pressure, Sima Lang finally decided to lift the city ban after five days, and there were only five days left for Fazheng to act.

Fa Zheng couldn't smile bitterly at this trick of fishing in troubled waters by an opponent he had never met. He had a bad premonition that once the city ban was lifted, there would definitely be unidentified spies mixed in the ranks of the merchants in the Central Plains and leave Chengdu while the chaos was taking advantage of the chaos. However, Fa Zheng could not prevent Sima Lang from lifting the city ban at a later date, because he also understood the importance of tax revenue to Yizhou.

Since you can't stop it, let's find a way to get the spy to start as soon as possible. Therefore, Fa Zheng followed the previous two actions, and gave another fierce medicine.

Just two days after Sima Lang publicly promised to lift the ban on the city, there was suddenly amazing news in the city of Chengdu, and people began to rumor that the Liangguo army in Wudu had suddenly broken into the territory of Guanghan County along the Western Han River, and it would not be long before it could attack Jiameng Pass (Jia Nian jia, one sound; Meng Nian men, four sounds), Guangwu General Yan Yan Zheng mobilized a large army to besiege the Liangguo army, and General Zhang Ren and Sima Yi, the commander of Hanzhong County, had also withdrawn from Wudu, and they could wave their divisions to the south in a few days, and under the attack from the north and south, they completely annihilated the invading Liangguo army。

This news is naturally fake, but it is very demagogic. Because the fake news that Fa Zheng came up with made full use of the true news that had just come back from Guanghan County, that is, the blue wolf army led by Zhang Xiu did tinker with some rafts in the upper reaches of the Western Han River, and there was an attempt to go downstream.

This news soon reached Zhao Hu's ears, which made him a little unable to sit still, after a day of suffering, that is, two nights before the scheduled Shadow Team evacuated Chengdu, Zhao Hu, dressed in night clothes, finally set out.

Zhao Hu has taken advantage of the recent time to walk the streets and alleys to conduct a detailed investigation of the terrain around the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, although he has not been in, but he has also learned some useful information through private inquiries. He used the "tiger's claw" to climb the wall of the backyard of the state pastoral mansion at the third watch, and then carefully threw down a few meat buns that the guard dog could smell. Of course, these meat buns are not used to beat dogs, but to anesthetize housekeepers.

After a few buns landed in a dull voice, Zhao Hu, who leaned over the wall, saw several vicious dogs pounce on them, and after a while, he ate the buns mixed with anesthetics in the meat filling. After a cup of tea, several dogs lay down on the ground with a chirp and fell asleep.

Zhao Hu at the head of the wall slipped down the backyard along the wall, and began to approach the house in the courtyard in the dark, he tiptoed with a dagger to open the latch of a door that seemed to be the owner's house, and then quietly got into the house. When Zhao Hu moved his footsteps towards the depths of the house, suddenly the lights outside the courtyard were bright, and only a young man's voice was heard sounding slowly: "In the middle of the night, where did the guests come from, why did they enter the master's house uninvited?"

Zhao Hu screamed bitterly in his heart, knowing that this time it might have been really planted, but he still replied stubbornly: "I have figured it out, you frequently spread false news just to lure me into the bait, but unfortunately you still haven't been able to calm down!"

As the torches approached the house, several generals with swords in their hands and wearing armor broke into the room first, and looking at their faces, it was Meng Da and Chen Shi who were in charge of Chengdu's public security.

As the saying goes, the arm can't twist the thigh, no matter how good Zhao Hu is, it is impossible to beat a group of opponents with military crossbow arrows aimed at him, so he was simply tied up by Meng Da and Chen Shi with ropes without resistance.

After a while, Zhao Hu heard the voice he had just spoken again. By this time, however, he had been locked up in a very secluded cell, and the young man who spoke was watching him through a sturdy iron bar.

"Say, where is your accomplice hiding!" the young man outside the fence suddenly shouted, which also surprised Zhao Hu's heart.

Zhao Hu was surprised not because he was afraid, but because he felt that this young man looked at Wenwen weakly, and he actually spoke very neutrally, not like a sissy at all.

Zhao Hu looked like an old fritter and said: "This small-skinned and tender-fleshed man, I am just a gentleman on the beam, recently because I am short of money, I want to come to the state pastoral mansion to borrow some pocket money, where are there any accomplices?"

"Oily and funny thief! Come on, the big punishment is waiting, it depends on whether you recruit or not!" Fa Zheng suddenly became angry and loudly scared Zhao Xinglai.

As soon as Fa Zheng's shouts fell, several huge strong men Ding Ling immediately walked into the cell where Zhao Hu was being held with a large list of various torture detainees, and it seemed that they really wanted to serve Zhao Hu.

"Hey, hey, the little white face on the other side, you are too unkind, you don't ask where the uncle is from, what are you doing in Taishoufu, you have to move my muscles and bones, so you can tell me what good it can be to be honest, right?" Although Zhao Hu looked like a laipi in his mouth, in order to avoid injury to his flesh, he still hurriedly spoke out to prevent others from punishing him.

Fa Zheng saw at a glance that the arrested person was a veteran, and now he was speaking aggressively, just to buy some time, but he was not in a hurry, so he said with a calm face: "Since you want me to ask you where you are from, then do as you wish! Tell me honestly, where are you from, what is your surname, and who instructed you to come and assassinate Lord Zhoumu?"

"Stop, stop, stop! The more you talk about it in your later life, the more you don't know the boundary! Lao Tzu is just a thief who walks the rivers and lakes, and the so-called little money that breaks into the state pastor's mansion is a little money, why do you want to charge me with murdering the state pastor!" Zhao Hu hurriedly cried out for grievances.

Fa Zheng, who had been teased many times, finally became angry and shouted: "Move! Greet me fiercely, and see how long this evil thief can slide!"

After a while, there was a "pop, pop" sound of a leather whip beating the flesh in the cell, so that the guards guarding the door heard it, and they were all sour at all, but the guy who was beaten seemed to have a very hard mouth, and while being beaten, he hummed a song with a strange tune in his mouth, the content seemed to be something: parting wine is easy to get drunk, men bleed without tears, cheers! Say ......goodbye happily! Cry and laugh, and die of pain......

Even the few jailers who were tortured were thinking in their hearts that this guy who was beaten was really a tough guy, and he was in the mood to sing when he was dying!
