Wu Fei and Wu Hu were sitting in the teahouse.

The entire teahouse was packed with people drinking tea and chatting on both sides. On the front stage, the storyteller was telling the latest serial of "The Son-in-Law" in Hangdou magazine in a rhythmic tone.

Just when the son-in-law was being wantonly humiliated by the arrogant noble family, the prince came to the mansion to give gifts. The prince was furious when he saw the son-in-law being humiliated, and he knelt down and shouted, "Lord God of War, I am late!" The noble family was immediately shocked and shouted, "What, you are the God of War of the Great Jin Dynasty?!"

Wu Hun laughed out loud.

Wu Fei shook his head: "Boring."

Because the plot was so exciting, the tea drinkers around were all concentrating and listening seriously.

Wu Fei asked, "What happened in the sect recently? The atmosphere inside and outside the Fengtang is extremely tense."

Wu Hun was surprised and asked, "You don't know?"

"I was transferred out of the core, how would I know?" Wu Fei looked at him strangely, "You also left the headquarters because of what happened that day, so it sounds like you know?"

"Because it's not a secret. You've been out these days, so you don't know." Wu Hun lowered his voice and said, "It is said that... the traitor in the Wu clan has been found."

"What?!" Wu Fei's eyes widened.

"But, I haven't heard of anyone in the sect being punished." Wu Hurricane frowned.

"Who is the traitor?" Wu Fei asked hurriedly.

"I don't know about that." Wu Hun looked a little hesitant, "Oh... well, it's not a big deal, but..."

"What?" Wu Fei frowned when he saw that he seemed to have something to say.

"Well, I know you are loyal to the master, so I will tell you. Anyway, if you look carefully, you can find out." Wu Hurricane said, "It is said that the master seems to have stopped the matter of dealing with the traitor and let him continue to stay with the master. I don't know what he is thinking."

"How could the master do such a thing?" Wu Fei's brows relaxed. "It must be that there is insufficient evidence or there are omissions."

Wu Hu shook his head: "The evidence is irrefutable. The master just doesn't believe it."

"How could that be?" Wu Fei didn't believe it at all.

Wu Hun was silent for a while and took two sips of tea.

Everyone around was listening to storytelling, and no one was talking.

Wu Hu said: "Master, are you really planning revenge? I see that you are now tied to the same boat with the crown prince."

"What do you mean?" Wu Fei frowned slightly.

"Qin Zhaoyue has asked for a position in the Ministry of War for his master... He will take up the post in a few days." Wu Hun said worriedly, "Is he really going to work hard for the Qin family?"

Wu Fei said, "Stop saying such things."

Wu Hu said, "You are my brother. There are some things that I cannot tell the sect, but I can tell you. Back then, the master only took six Feng leaders to Luonan Road, and the rest of the Wu sect were kept in the dark. You said that the master was taking precautions and screening out the traitors in the Wu sect, but how did he confirm that the leaders were not traitors?"

Seeing that Wu Fei didn't say anything, Wu Hun continued, "And a few days ago, there was clear evidence of a traitor, but the master suppressed the matter and kept it secret. What's the reason? It's really hard to understand. Could it be..."

"Shut up." Wu Fei's face turned completely cold: "If you always have such thoughts, I'd better ask the master to kill you as soon as possible."

Wu Hun was a little embarrassed: "I just have this question."

"You'd better." Wu Fei said coldly.

"Forget it. If you don't want to listen, I won't say anything." Wu Hun said, "Master Huaiyue has done us a great favor, and Gu Xu is the only blood of Master Huaiyue. We will naturally obey him no matter what he wants."

Wu Fei said, "You'd better keep these words to yourself forever. If it weren't for me, but someone else heard it, you would have been beheaded by now."

Wu Hun nodded: "I know, it's only because we have known each other for many years that I... that's all."

The two fell silent at the same time.

When they arrived at the outskirts, their daily task was to collect intelligence in the city and then submit it all to Fengtang for Wufeng to screen.

At this time, the storytelling was going on to the part where the son-in-law slapped the nobleman in the face, and everyone in the teahouse was concentrating. However, there were still some people who had no interest in the storytelling. A table not far away was talking in low voices.

Wu Fei listened attentively.

"...I came from Jiangnan Road. They said there is a good chance..."

"How to say?"

"My friend runs a pharmacy and has made a lot of money recently. Because of the cold weather, many people have fallen ill..."

"Is this true? What are the prescriptions? Is there any room for them?"

"That's not clear, and they won't tell me something so important."

"This is strange. People in the north are fine, but people in the south are getting sick from the cold. Isn't it spring already?"

“People in the South don’t tolerate cold!”

"I hear you've never been to the South. It's so damp and cold there that it chills your bones..."

"It's not as cold as the north. The river in Youzhou is frozen three feet thick. What about the south?"

"I've been to all of them. They're all cold in their own way..."

Wu Fei ignored the subsequent debate about which side was colder, the north or the south, and kept in mind the previous news about the drugstore making money and many people getting sick.

Wu Hun also heard this. He looked at Wu Fei and said, "This is worth presenting to the higher-ups. Do you want to go back now?"

Wu Fei hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I will go back, you continue to guard here."

"Okay, don't worry." Wu Hun smiled slightly.

……

Wu Fei returned to the Wumen headquarters.

The secret guard on duty in front of Fengtang Gate greeted him when he saw him, "Are you back?"

Wu Fei nodded and asked, "Did a traitor get found in the sect a few days ago?"

The secret guard was embarrassed when he heard this. He waved his hand and said, "The master doesn't allow us to discuss this matter."

Wu Fei frowned.

The secret guard said, "You went to Ganzhou with the master and made contributions. Why don't you go and ask it yourself? Or maybe Chief Wufeng, he should know something. The incident with the Xie family was just an accident anyway, the master should not be angry with you."

Wu Fei said, "I understand. Thank you very much."

He entered the Fengtang, put the intelligence letter in the box, and then walked out.

……

In a small town in Jiangnan Road.

In front of a courtyard of the county government office, several yamen runners were guarding the door tightly.

"Are all the sick people here?" Qin Zhaohong, with a veil on her face, looked around the yard at the situation.

The house was already full of people, all of whom had varying degrees of coughing. There were several tents set up in the yard, and several fires lit, and the patients lay next to the fires, covered with quilts, hugging their bodies and shivering.

"Yes." The county magistrate answered respectfully, "But this disease looks like just a common cold, which is really hard to identify. There are not many clinics in the city willing to cooperate. The princess has ordered us to act in secrecy, so we dare not make it too public..."

Yu Weishuang was also nearby. She said, "We cast a thin net and found so many people. It shows that there are quite a few people who have been infected. Has anyone died of the disease?"
