The crowd discussed some more details of the operation, and it was not until the rooster crowed that they dispersed. At the right time, Chen Mo set off on time and went to the Jiangbei camp to dispatch people. At the same time, the door of the General's Mansion was also slowly opened, welcoming the first batch of people who came for interviews. Ma Desheng personally led 300 palace guards and ambushed around the Xuanzheng Hall, ready to attack at any time. Now the nets are fully rolled out and everything is ready for the fish to take the bait.

At the beginning of the year, Li Zhun led 200 patrol troops with helmets and armor, regardless of the discussion of the surrounding people, swaggered into the mansion and went straight to the Xuanzheng Hall.

Chen Xiaotian was already waiting in the hall, and the two were very happy to see each other, talking and laughing. After greeting for a long time, he turned to the inner hall for a secret conversation, and after half an hour, Chen Xiaotian ordered a big banquet to entertain Lord Li. During the banquet, Chen and Li pushed the glasses and changed the lamps, congratulated each other, and promised that after the matter was completed, they would help each other and say good words to each other in front of the saints.

It wasn't until the palm lamp was ten minutes that the banquet dispersed, Chen Xiaotian was full of alcohol, and sent Li Zhun and others to the door with the support of Chen Mo, and the two agreed that Li Zhun would bring good wine and food tomorrow, and Chen Xiaotian was responsible for arranging the singers and dancers, who were still drinking happily in the general's mansion, and did not get drunk and did not return.

After sending Li Zhun away, Chen Xiaotian staggered back to Xuanzheng Hall, walked into the inner hall and fell asleep, and after a while, he snored like thunder. Chen Yixin and Chen Mo also returned to their rooms to rest, and everything seemed to be calm again.

"Bang...... Bang...... Bangbang ...... "On the second watch, the candles in the inner hall of the Xuanzheng Hall flickered, and there were many people, and the three fathers and sons of the Chen family, Yin Yanlai, Li Zhun, Liu Chaozhong, Liang Yehan and Ma Desheng had all arrived.

Chen Xiaotian saw that everyone had arrived, and said to Ma Desheng: "General Ma, you can speak first." ”

Ma Desheng nodded and said: "Master Qiqi, there are a total of 6,213 people visiting the mansion today, and each person is still distributed according to five taels of silver, a total of 31,065 taels of silver......

Chen Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "Just talk to Wang Rong about these small things about money, and you don't need to report to me." ”

"Yes, but Mr. Wang said that this expenditure is not a decimal number after all, and you should still know. ”

Chen Xiaotian said in his heart: "How could this kid Ma Desheng be fascinated by Wang Rong like this? ”

Chen Mo said on the side: "General Ma, you should hurry up and tell me how many people have approached Xuanzheng Hall today?"

Ma Desheng said: "According to the patrol guards, there are four people - three men and one woman, and upon inquiry, they all have their own reasons for approaching Xuanzheng Hall. ”

"Oh?" Chen Xiaotian twisted his beard and asked, "What are the reasons?" ”

Ma Desheng said: "One of the three men said that he didn't know the road and went wrong, and the other said that he had a relative on an errand in the house and wanted to meet him. ”

Chen Mo asked, "Who is the relative of this person who is on an errand in the house?"

Ma Desheng said: "It's verified, it's a Xiao Si from the stable, it's his cousin who came today, and the manager Wang has already resigned him after dinner." ”

Chen Xiaotian nodded and continued to ask, "What is the reason for another man and a woman?"

The third man's reason was even more peculiar, he said that he had never seen such a luxurious courtyard, so he wanted to walk around. When the guards heard this, they sent him away the way he came. ”

Chen Yixin said: "What's the matter with that woman?"

Ma Desheng said: "Strictly speaking, this is not just a woman, but a little girl and her grandmother. ”

When Chen Xiaotian heard this, he immediately became alert and asked, "How can there be old women and children? Don't we require people who are at least eighteen years old and in good health to enter the mansion?"

Ma Desheng said: "Afterwards, the general also asked, and the guard guarding the door said that as soon as the door was opened in the morning, the old man stood at the door, saying that he heard others mention that there was a silver collar here, so he came early to line up. When the guards saw that the old lady was in tattered clothes, old and ugly, and her eyes were not very good, they wanted to drive them away, but the little girl suddenly jumped out and said that everyone said that the general was a good official, and this time the righteousness and wealth were squandered, not only to find people, but also to benefit the people. Now it seems that it is just for show, not really for the good of the people. After speaking, she turned around and shouted to the people in line behind her, let's go, this is fake, the money has already shone yesterday, and I won't give money today. ”

When Chen Yixin heard this, she smiled and said, "This little girl is still quite scheming, how old is she?"

Ma Desheng said: "I look at the age of twelve or thirteen, and I look very small. The old lady was quite old, at least seventy years old. ”

Chen Mo said: "As soon as the little girl said this, the guards let them in?"

Ma Desheng said: "At first, there was no, but who knew that these two people were talking to people everywhere while leaving, so that most of the people who came to line up early left, and there was no way, in order to keep everyone, so the guards at the door put them into the house." ”

Chen Xiaotian twisted his beard and continued to ask, "Then what is the reason for the two of them to come to Xuanzheng Hall?"

Ma Desheng said: "This reason is even more incredible, it is actually because the old lady wants to go out of Gong, and the little girl took her to find a toilet, but when the two of them came back, they got lost, and they came to Xuanzheng Hall by mistake." ”

When Chen Yixin heard this, she smiled and said: "People have three urgencies, and this reason is reasonable." ”

Ma Desheng nodded and said, "This is all the people who are close to Xuanzheng Hall today, master, do you think there is a chaotic party among them?"

Chen Xiaotian pondered for a moment, then turned to Li Zhun and said, "What do you think, Lord Li?"

Li Zhundao: "It seems that these people have their own reasons for appearing in front of the Xuanzheng Hall, but I think there must be someone lying, and the spies who are disrupting the party must be among them." Among them, I think the first one that can be excluded is the second man who approached Xuanzheng Hall. ”

"Oh?" Chen Mo was puzzled, "How can you see it?"

Li Zhun said: "If he is a spy, in the face of the inquiries of a few ordinary guards, he can prevaricate with another reason, there is no need to sell the relatives who are on an errand in the mansion together, even if that relative is not his accomplice, it is really a miscellaneous servant in the mansion, then he has lost another reasonable and legal opportunity to enter the mansion, I don't think the old man of the apocalypse will not send such a reckless person to sneak into the general's mansion to find out the news." ”

"Well, that makes sense. Chen Xiaotian nodded and said, "This person can basically be ruled out." Dare to ask Master Li if there are any people who are very skeptical?"

Li Zhun hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "The reasons of the rest of the people seem to be relatively natural, and there is no trace of deliberate justification or wanting to hide anything, and there is no flaw in the language. So I think every one of them could be a spies in rebellion. ”

As soon as the words fell, a burst of laughter like silver bells came, and Yin Yanlai, who had not spoken, suddenly smiled and said: "What Lord Li said is right, on the surface, several of them are indeed flawless, but there is one thing that your adult may have overlooked, who said that the spies must be one person? The rest of the people should be spies sent by the chaotic party in my opinion!"
