Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 173
Zhang Xun has never heard of the theory of "darkness under the lamp", otherwise, he would definitely investigate Niuwa's information.And in his opinion, the fact that someone in the barracks knew Niu Wa meant that Niu Wa must also be from the barracks.The most important thing is that only three spies have been caught now. If Niuwa was really a spie, how could he not run for his life?

Zhang Xun looked at the three spies who were kneeling on the ground and tied up, thinking carefully about how to dig out more spies from them. "Tell your accomplices, and I will consider letting you live."

When the three unlucky guys heard what Zhang Xun said, two of them didn't respond, but one of them had a bright eye.Seeing the different expressions of that person, Niuwa's expression darkened immediately, and he fixed his eyes on that person, not hiding the fierceness in his eyes.

Among the three, the one whose eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Xun's words was called Gouzi.Gouzi is a thief and a habitual offender. He has been caught by Yangdi's yamen many times, but after being locked up for a while each time, he still doesn't restrain himself.In his family, there is only one old mother, who also suffers from eye diseases.

"My lord, if the villain says so, can the lord really let the villain go?" Gouzi looked at Zhang Xun and asked.

Zhang Xun turned around and looked at Gouzi. He didn't expect that someone would actually stand up after just saying that casually. "A gentleman's words are followed by a whip. Since I said, as long as you name your accomplices, I will let you live."

After getting Zhang Xun's guarantee, Gouzi immediately straightened up and looked up at Zhang Xun, but when he looked at Zhang Xun, he saw Niuwa's eyes that wanted to kill people behind Zhang Xun.Gouzi was taken aback for a moment, but he still said, "This time, our lord sent 54 people over. Except for the three of us who didn't escape, there are 51 people."

"Well, keep talking." Zhang Xun was overjoyed when he heard Gouzi's words, but his face remained expressionless.As long as Gouzi continues to talk, then he can have clues, as long as there are clues, then the spies sent by Yangdi City will be caught soon.

"Among us, the leader is called the fourth brother. There is a conflict between the fourth brother and the boss Zhu, so the fourth brother does not follow the requirements of the boss at all." Gouzi's resentment towards the fourth brother is Extremely deep, if it weren't for the fourth brother's decision-making mistakes, how could the three of them have been arrested.The fourth brother has no ability, just made a wrong decision, and he also attacked those who held different opinions, especially those who were interested in Boss Zhu.

Zhang Xun was listening, but suddenly found that the dog's voice had stopped, so he said, "Go on, I'm listening. As long as what you said is true, then I will definitely let you go. By the way, say something What does Boss Zhu want you to do?"

The reason why Gouzi stopped was to get Zhang Xun's guarantee, but this was not the main purpose.He also has another purpose, which is to let Niu Wa understand that the fourth child can no longer believe it.Just looking at Niuwa's eyes just now, the bullfrog obviously didn't believe Gouzi's words.

"Boss Zhu told us that we should burn Yuan Shu's army's food and fodder and spread rumors among Yuan Shu's army. But the fourth brother didn't listen, and the fourth brother just killed people." Gouzi said here, stopped again, and looked at Zhang Xun Over there, but in fact, the people in the corner of their eyes have been paying attention to Niu Wa.

When Zhang Xun heard Gouzi say this, he was also sweating from shock.If those spies were really allowed to burn the food and grass of the army, then the army would really be finished.Zhang Xun didn't doubt the possibility of them burning the grain and grass at all. Since they could enter the barracks without anyone noticing, it must be possible for them to get close to the granary.What's more, at this time, the army is just a temporary camp, and all the grass that comes here is just piled up in a few tents.

"Then tell me, how did you get into the barracks?" Zhang Xun wanted to ask this question all the time, but he didn't know if Gouzi would tell the truth. At this moment, when he heard what Gouzi said, he I think there should be no mistakes, so I raised this question.

Hearing this question, Gouzi glanced at Niuwa behind Zhang Xun unconsciously, and then said: "This, the villain doesn't know either. The villain just walked in with the fourth brother and the others. The military master didn't stop us either."

Zhang Xun saw Gouzi looking behind him, and suddenly felt curious, so he looked behind himself.But at this time, Niuwa had already shared a seat with Zhang Xun's other personal guard, Huang. When Zhang Xun looked over, he happened to see that personal guard with a serious face.Seeing Zhang Xun looking at him, the personal guard immediately turned serious. He thought Zhang Xun had some orders.

Zhang Xun looked at the personal guard, and didn't say much, but left a question in his heart.It's just that this personal guard has been with him for several years, so Zhang Xun didn't get angry on the spot.

"You said you walked in swaggeringly? Then which door did you come in from?" Zhang Xun continued to look at Gouzi and asked.

Gouzi was admiring Niuwa at this time, and just now he took a look at Niuwa before realizing that he would bring trouble to Niuwa, unexpectedly Niuwa resolved this trouble directly.At this time, Gouzi heard Zhang Xun's question and was stunned for a moment before saying, "He came in from the east gate."

Zhang Xun was stunned at this moment. The soldiers on duty said they didn't see anything unusual, but Gouzi said that he came in directly from the east gate.Zhang Xun turned his head, looked at the guard who had been with him for many years and said, "You, now go and call me the soldiers who were on duty at the east gate last night."

Zhang Xun's expression was very ugly at this time, he never expected, he never expected that there would be such a big problem among his subordinates, if it wasn't for this kind of thing, he wouldn't know about it.At this time, Zhang Xun even thanked Niuwa who asked him for directions last night. If Niuwa hadn't asked him where there was a place to gamble, he would not have found out that spies had sneaked in.

At this time, Zhang Xun directly sat down on the chair where Yuan Shu had previously sat, took a sip of water from the cup, and then said to the bullfrog, "You, go and interrogate them and see if you can dig out any useful information. Damn I'm so mad." As he spoke, Zhang Xun picked up his cup and took another gulp of water.

When Niuwa heard that Zhang Xun asked him to interrogate Gouzi, he didn't talk nonsense, so he stood up to Zhang Xun, winked desperately at the three people, and said: "Just now you said that there is a man named Fourth Brother, who works with the same Your Boss Zhu's requirements don't match, so there must be someone who does things according to Boss Zhu's requirements?"

Hearing Niuwa's question, Gouzi said, "Yes, the fourth brother only brought 39 people out of the camp. But there are still 14 people in the barracks. In addition to the three of us who were arrested, there are [-] other people. The leader is called Hai Ye, Hai Ye is very powerful, but we don’t know how powerful it is, we only know that Hai Ye has never missed what he is eyeing.”

When Zhang Xun heard this, the cup in his hand shook and fell to the ground.When Zhang Xun heard that there were still eleven spies in the barracks earlier, Zhang Xun was a little angry, but he didn't find these people after checking.Later, when Gouzi said that there was something he was eyeing and never missed, he was so frightened that he dropped the cup in his hand.

If the so-called Lord Hai is really as powerful as Gouzi said, Zhang Xun worried that his head would suddenly disappear one night.

"You, you draw me the portrait called Lord Hai. Also, there is a big search in the barracks, and if these eleven people are not found, no one wants to eat." Zhang Xun was really scared at this time arrive.Although it is said that all soldiers must be aware that they will die suddenly one day, but being assassinated to death while sleeping is a different concept than dying in battle.

At this time, Zhang Xun's personal guard who had been with him for a long time hadn't come back yet, so Niuwa could only deliver the order.After the bullfrog went out, he first went to Zhang Xun's personal guard camp to pass the order. After passing the military order, the personal guard camp began to conduct a large-scale military search again.

And when Niuwa was walking around, Master Hai came to him.When Niu Wa saw that it was Hai Ye, he deliberately pointed fingers in front of him, but he said: "Go back and tell your lord that Yuan Shu has been building siege equipment these days and will not be moving. And kill him when we came in yesterday." The two soldiers who arrived."

After hearing what Niu Wa said, Haiye nodded and left. When the soldiers in the personal camp saw this, they thought Niu Wa was training the soldier.How could they have imagined that the spy they were trying to track down was spreading information right under their noses.
