"Commander, Governor Zhou Zhiyuan can be considered an old colleague of yours. Would he really do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself?"
Seeing the cold light in Wu Kui's eyes, Ding Xiang, who was responsible for interacting with the spies, also looked solemn.
In order not to expose the whereabouts of their organization, their actions have always been fast and precise, so they will not bring out too many people.
What's more, they have planned this mission for a long time. Even their biggest opponent is locked up in the imperial city and there is no way they can reach out here.
So although they sent some spies out to get information, these people were just their confidants who were trained these days, and they were naturally not as easy to use as the people in the organization.
Therefore, Ding Xiang felt that she couldn't listen to the spies' side of the story on this matter, and had to send someone to Fucheng to inquire about it before making a final conclusion.
"What you said makes sense. After all, we are all working together. Wouldn't it be beautiful if someone suddenly came out to steal the credit or cause sabotage?"
Wu Kui sneered.
"In this case, you should send someone to Mingzhou Fucheng to check and see if Deng Baochang has been exchanged for the Deng family, and their Fucheng granary is short of food."
"yes."
After receiving Wu Kui's order, Ding Xiang's men arrived at Mingzhou Fucheng that night.
Different from the people sent to Qingquan to find out the truth, the two people who came to Fucheng this time were carefully selected by Ding Xiang. They were spies who could secretly bypass Fucheng's defenses and get to the truth directly.
The two of them parted ways as soon as they entered the city. The former went directly to Deng's house, while the latter secretly sneaked into the Mingzhou government office, aiming directly at the government treasury where grain was stored.
Although Deng Baochang had been locked up in the backyard since he returned to Deng's house, the spy only had to search for a while and followed the boy who went to deliver midnight snacks to find him.
"Damn it, those people in Qingquan deserve to die! Don't think that because they let me go for the sake of food, I won't care about them anymore... Hiss, they have a good idea!"
Deng Baochang here was complaining loudly, while another spy over there who had successfully sneaked into the treasury was shocked by the scene in front of him.
The Mingzhou government office is a state government office, so there are several rooms just for stacking grain, and guards outside are patrolling day and night.
Therefore, when he saw bags of grain still stacked in the granary and no empty space in sight, the spy felt relieved.
Until he took out a knife, randomly selected a bag of grain and cut it open...
One bag, two bags, three bags...
Sand, dead grass, rice husks...
He just went all the way and discovered that except for the pile of grain closest to the warehouse door, which was real, the rest were used to fool people.
And you can only imagine who these fake grains fooled...
The news was quickly passed back to the Green Forest Army. Wu Kui was furious when he learned the news, and even Ding Xiang, who had some trust in Zhou Zhiyuan before, turned dark.
Zhou Zhiyuan had his reasons for secretly supporting Qingquan County, but under the current situation, it was tantamount to giving their accomplices a blow.
Obviously, everyone is in the same boat, and they are risking their lives here to lead people to rebel. However, he, who is hiding behind and has very little chance of getting into trouble, is looking forward and backward here, paving the way for himself behind their backs.
No matter how you look at it, what this happened is quite chilling.
"Commander, what should we do now? Should we continue to turn a blind eye to what Governor Zhou is doing, or should we send a letter to the superior..."
"Read his book?"
Wu Kui sneered:
"It's true that he was at fault in this matter, but once we bring the matter to the top, wouldn't it appear that we are incompetent? Then when he makes a few sophistry excuses for his official career, those literati will probably stand on his side again. Over there. We warriors are stupid and cannot give him this chance."
"what do you mean……"
Wu Kui lit the letter in his hand on fire, and soon it was completely burned and said:
"Fight fire with fire, let this old bastard know how powerful we are!"
