Zhang De and Xu Wuyou knelt down and cried bitterly, trembling for a long time and unable to speak. Pang Gu was behind him and stamped his feet anxiously. He stepped forward and kicked Xu Wuyou in the chest. Xu Wuyou fell to the ground, ouch.
Fang Jianzhi said angrily: "Here comes someone! Search them for the letters on their bodies."
"I'll come!" Yin Ji stepped forward and first touched the letter in Xu Wuyou's sleeve. When he saw that there was no letter in the sleeve, he then searched for Zhang De next to him. Zhang Debianqi Ai Ai complained: "The governor... Sir, Marshal, we were... forced!"
Before he could finish speaking, Yin Ji had already found the letter, glanced at Zhang De, and then handed the letter into Gao Yun's hands.
When Gao Yun opened the envelope and unfolded the letter, Fang Jianzhi and Lu Zuo looked at each other at the same time. On the top of the letter, it read "Marshal Dabo". Gao Yun and the other three were shocked. When they looked down again, they wrote He wrote: "There have been changes in Lanzhou recently. One hundred thousand Han troops were led by Gao Jun. They passed through Lanzhou and wanted to thoroughly investigate the traitor. Zhang De and others were suspected, and Li Ke was betrayed. I have eliminated him, so I sent Zhang and others in advance. Wu and others returned to Shanzhou. I am an insider in Lanzhou and I know the inside story. Flying pigeon passed the letter." Taking a closer look at the signature above, there are two words "Red Wolf" written on it. Unexpectedly, in Lanzhou City, besides Zhang De, Xu Wuyou, and Li In addition to the three spies, there is another one, and this one is the real mastermind, and he is still in Lanzhou City.
Fang Jianzhi was so angry that he stared at him, pointed at Zhang and Wu and shouted loudly: "Who is this person called 'Red Wolf'?"
Zhang De was trembling and did not dare to speak. Gao Yun pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed at his forehead and asked: "It's easy if you don't say anything, then die quickly."
Xu Wuyou looked around and said tremblingly: "Marshal, I said, I said..."
Zhang De glanced at Xu Wuyou, his eyes seemed to say that it was not necessary, after all, if he said it, he would die, and if he didn't, he would die. Xu Wuyou told Zhang De helplessly, saying: "Brother Zhang, think about who pulled us into the water, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a mess."
"Hey..." Zhang De sighed, "Without him, maybe we would have died long ago."
Pang Gu snorted coldly, "Then if you die now, the Lord of Hell will accept you." After saying that, he took out the sword from his waist.
"I said, I said..." Xu Wuyou bowed his head repeatedly, "The man named 'Red Wolf' is actually Lanzhou General Magistrate Wei Nuo. All of this is manipulating us."
When they heard Wei Nuo's name, everyone's faces darkened. Fang Jianzhi was even more suspicious: "How could Wei Nuo do such a thing after following me for many years?"
"Where's Mr. Wei?" Someone behind him suddenly asked in surprise. Gao Jun and others looked around, searching up and down with their eyes, but he was gone. "Why is he missing? He was still there just now?"
Gao Jun quickly ordered people to search the whole city. Fang Jianzhi continued to ask: "Tell me quickly, how did you collude and become the lackeys of the great Fan Kingdom?"
Xu Wuyou said: "Actually... the three of us actually didn't want to collaborate with the enemy before, but just two years ago, the three of us embezzled funds for the Yellow River pollution control. The imperial minister appointed by the emperor found out about it, and he wanted to report it to the court. At that time Wei Nuo happened to be on business in Shanzhou and heard about this incident, so he used this as a threat to make us become the internal agents of the Great Fan Kingdom, and also used high-ranking officials and generous salaries as bait."
Fang Jianzhi pointed and asked, "Tell me, what kind of high-ranking official and generous salary?"
"He said that as long as we agree to be Shanzhou's traitors, as soon as Shanzhou is captured, we will take over the entire Shanzhou."
Gao Jun looked at Lu Zuo, who looked calm, and asked Xu Wuyou: "Then why did you escape back to Lanzhou?"
"They want us to continue to be internal agents and come to Lanzhou to help Weinuo. Unexpectedly, Weinuo, an old fox, would trick us again and again. This time Marshal Gao came to investigate the traitor. We were a little nervous. We originally planned to escape from the city together last night. Go, but Wesnoth initially disapproved of our escape and wanted us to wait."
Fang Jianzhi asked: "Then why are you thinking of escaping from the city again? How did Li Kenshou die?"
Xu Wuyou couldn't help but tremble a little when he thought of what happened last night, and said in a stern tone: "That... is because... because Li Kenshou used Lord Lu Zuolu to threaten him."
Lu Zuo smiled with interest, "Oh? Use me to threaten him?"
"Yes... Originally Li Kenshou objected to everyone staying in the city with Wei Nuo, so Wei Nuo wanted to kill him... Only then did Li Kenshou say that Mr. Lu was very resourceful. When he died, he said that Mr. Lu must have a way. We found out who the murderer was, but this sentence angered Wei Nuo, so he killed Li Keyong in a fit of anger."
After hearing this, Pang Gu walked up to Zhang De and kicked him to the ground, "Is everything he said true?"
Zhang De nodded repeatedly, "Every sentence...is true..."
Fang Jianzhi was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that there was a foreign spy hiding beside him for so many years, so he continued to point at Xu Wuyou and asked, "You haven't answered yet, why did he let us sneak out of the city again?"
"This is because... maybe we are afraid that we will really be found out!"
Gao Yun snorted coldly, "You are obviously lying!"
Lu Zuo understood it clearly, "I'm afraid they don't know it themselves."
Fang Jianzhi looked at Lu Zuo in confusion and asked, "Master Lu, why do you see this?"
"I think the reason why Weno let them go was not because he really thought about them."
"Then he could kill them all and silence them! Why let them escape?" Fang Jian said.
Lu Zuo chuckled, "You are right, but by doing this, wouldn't you tell others that there is a real mastermind behind the scenes!"
Yin Ji clapped his hands and shouted: "Master, I understand. The reason why Wei Nuo, the old fox, let them go is because he wanted to take this opportunity to say that the two of them were traitors, and Li Kenshou was killed by these two traitors. .”
Everyone was suddenly enlightened and nodded, feeling that it made sense.
"Ji'er is right, this is the most important point." Lu Zuo also nodded, then pointed to the letter in Gao Yun's hand, "The other point is to take the opportunity to let the two of them send a message to the enemy commander to report the traitor Tell them about the revelation so that they can make preparations in advance."
Pang Gu snorted and said angrily: "Thankfully we were prepared, otherwise they would have succeeded."
Yin Ji also looked at Lu Zuo with a smile and said: "It should be said that it was fortunate that this group of thieves caught them, otherwise something big would have happened, so this credit should be credited to them."
Gao Yun nodded, "That makes sense." Then he asked Fang Jianzhi, "Look, should we open the city to accept their surrender?"
