Chapter 343: Exchange of prisoners, the birth of a spy
Revenge against Zhuang Xiaocheng?
In the cold interrogation room, when Zhao Duan said these words lightly, the three prisoners were stunned at the same time.
Qingniao and Wu Ling were surprised, and subconsciously thought about the purpose of this imperial eagle dog looking for them.
Yun Xi's reaction was more direct. She subconsciously wanted to throw away the handkerchief stained with Zhao Duan's scent.
But after hearing these words, he paused with his pale hands, wiped his face carelessly, wiped away his tears, and asked coldly:
"You want to deal with him?"
Zhao Duan leaned back slightly, folded his hands on his lower abdomen, imitating the posture of the police boss in the movie, smiled and nodded:
"Isn't this obvious? You know best the hatred between me and him."
Yes!
From Yun Xi's perspective, Zhuang Xiaocheng almost killed Zhao Duan in the bamboo forest temple in the southern suburbs, leaving a big hole for "letting go the rebels".
The hatred is great.
"You want me to help you?"
Yun Xi's mind changed and she sneered: "Why do you think I will help you?"
Zhao Duan smiled and said: "An enemy of an enemy is a friend, right?"
Yun Xi snorted and said forcefully:
"Zhuang Xiaocheng is an old dog with a dark heart, but you are not a good person either."
She has indeed gone dark, but that doesn't mean she has changed her attitude and thinks Zhao Duan is a "good person".
Zhao Duan was not angry either, he said with great interest:
"You are right, I am indeed not a good person, but I can help you get rid of Zhuang Xiaocheng and prevent the common people of Yu Dynasty from being deceived by Zhuang Laogou again.
Don’t you want those passionate people with lofty ideals who are still being deceived like you to wake up as soon as possible? "
Yun Xi didn't say a word, she was moved!
Of course she's not stupid.
In fact, during most of the night last night, she had already realized that Zhao Duan had "other plans" for her.
From being imprisoned but not punished at the beginning, to taking her out specifically to crush her faith, this step by step will never be so boring just to see her ugly appearance.
"I know that there is not much useful information." Yun Xi suddenly spoke, she said indifferently:
"I followed Zhuang Xiaocheng, and I did get some information more or less, but most of it was related to the capital branch. Now that the branch is uprooted by you, I have no information to hand over to you."
Zhao Duan was not surprised, he still smiled and did not speak.
Yun Xi thought to herself and said:
"Or do you want me to change my stance and work for the court like a thousand faces? Help you to fraudulently open the door of Kuangfu Society? For example, find an opportunity to release me and let me escape back? Become a spy for you? "
The girl's tone was indifferent, thinking she had seen through Zhao Duan's intentions.
She shook her head and said:
"Not to mention whether I am willing or not, even if I agree to you, it is meaningless. Zhuang Xiaocheng is very cautious. It is impossible for him to believe me. Besides, I, the person detained in the imperial prison, can escape. I am the biggest Doubtful."
Zhao Duan slowly sat up straight, leaned forward, rested his elbows on the table, crossed his ten fingers, and said with a smile:
"But what if I exchange you?"
The three prisoners in the interrogation room were stunned at the same time.
Yun Xi looked confused and frowned: "Exchange?"
Zhao Duan did not sell out, he talked eloquently:
"In the past three years, the imperial court has been sending people to hunt down those who rebel against the party. The capital is actually the most 'peaceful' area. Outside the capital, the struggle is more intense. The imperial people have arrested many of your people, but at the same time, you have also In turn, many people from the imperial court were captured."
This information was learned when he was serving as the Inspector and the last time he commanded the Linfeng Shadow Guard.
For example, if some shadow guards are discovered during the investigation and tracking of rebels, they will be captured and killed.
In the past three years, the battles between the imperial court and the rebels were scattered in every corner of the rivers and lakes.
Zhao Duan’s voice was deep:
"What do you think if I release a message to Kuangfu Society and ask for a prisoner exchange?"
Yun Xi and the other three were startled at the same time, looking thoughtful.
Zhao Duan didn't wait for her answer and said to himself:
"Zhuang Xiaocheng may not agree, but what if I spread the news? Let most of the members of Kuangfu Club know the news.
Oh, this is not difficult, just spread the news in the world. You are eager to intercept the court's intelligence... As long as there are enough people who know, there will be pressure, and Zhuang Xiaocheng will have to nod. "
He said this with certainty for two reasons.
First, rebels are also human beings, and they also have relatives and friends.
Prisoners arrested by the imperial court will have relatives and friends outside.
The core group led by Zhuang Xiaocheng may not care about the life or death of this group of people, but the relatives and friends of those criminals will.
They will put pressure in turn and actively promote this matter. If Zhuang Xiaocheng blocks it and disagrees, it will offend others and lead to the disintegration of Kuangfu Society.
Second, as Wu Ling said, in addition to the core high-level and middle-level members, Kuangfu Society also has many peripheral members.
This group of people is still deceived, more or less, into thinking that they are doing something righteous.
Under the banner of "supporting the country and overthrowing the false emperor", Zhuang Xiaocheng had to consider the people's hearts when doing things.
If it is clear that he can be rescued but he is not rescued, then the peripheral members will inevitably murmur in their hearts if they find out.
If the people's hearts are lost, there will be no way to lead the team.
From this perspective, as long as Zhao Duan releases this signal, it will be a conspiracy that Zhuang Xiaocheng has to agree to.
"So, you want to instigate us to rebel, let us return to Kuangfu Society in an upright manner through a 'prisoner exchange', and then cooperate with you inside and outside to eradicate Zhuang Xiaocheng?"
Yun Xi suddenly realized, her eyes lit up for a moment, then she frowned and said:
"But even if I go back, I will definitely not be trusted immediately. Zhuang Laogou will not fail to guess that there is a possibility that I will be incited to rebel."
Zhao Duan snapped his fingers and said with a smile:
"He must be able to think of it, so the people I am going to exchange are not just a few, but a group. A large group."
A strange expression appeared on his face, he stood up and walked around the interrogation room:
"In the past three years, the imperial court has arrested many rebels in various places. Some of them have died, but many are still in custody.
As long as the number of prisoners I exchange is large enough, even if Zhuang Xiaocheng is suspicious, he will not be able to hide such a large group of people in the snow, or completely imprison them for a long time.
Well, at most, he can temporarily monitor people, but then what? He always wants to let people go. At most, for the sake of safety, he will no longer allow this group of people to participate in the work. "
When he said this, he paused briefly, turned around, and gave the three of them time to digest.
Zhao Duan's entire body was bathed in the beam of light. With his back to the light, his entire expression became blurred. He smiled and said:
"This is the most interesting part. Zhuang Xiaocheng did not dare to use these prisoners, so even if the court released these people, they would not worry about them becoming enemies of the court again, because Zhuang Xiaocheng did not trust them...
But this group of people are inextricably linked to the rest of Kuangfu Society.
Zhuang Xiaocheng cannot kill this group of people, nor can he be imprisoned for a long time. Once released, the spies among this group of people can do some things, such as... reveal the truth and attract more people to the court?
It will be all right.
If he dares to use this group of people, it will indeed cause some trouble to the court, but compared to the benefits obtained from planting spies, it is acceptable. What's more, we can also get back a lot of people. It’s not a loss no matter what. "
Using a group of prisoners who are either die-hards and cannot be pried open, or whose value has been squeezed out, in exchange for the elites of the court, it is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
Moreover, there is another thing he did not say, that is, as long as this news is released.
Then, if someone from the imperial court is caught by Kuang Fu She, there is a high probability that they will not be killed.
Because they are alive, they can be exchanged for others. But when you die, there is nothing.
As for the captured people from the imperial court, is it possible that they could in turn instigate Kuang Fushe to rebel?
Of course this is also possible.
But the imperial family has a great cause, and if the captives are rescued, the worst case scenario is that they will be scattered and thrown into military camps to be raised, or a separate barracks will be opened for surveillance.
"It might not even be that troublesome. Kuangfu Society will have to send people to handle the exchange of such a large number of prisoners, right? As long as we use some tracking methods, we might be able to find out Zhuang Xiaocheng's location and capture him in one fell swoop."
Well, Zhao Duan didn't say this to the three of them. He said it when he met Ma Yan before.
Ma Yan was also deep in thought after hearing this, and the first thing he asked was:
"Can your Majesty agree? The exchange of prisoners is a common thing when the two armies are fighting, but when it involves rebelling against the party... it is different after all."
The implication:
There may not be anyone in the court who has thought of this strategy, but no one dares to say it.
Because the most sensitive thing about this plan is that whoever proposes it will easily be suspected.
Therefore, the smarter the person, the less he dares to mention this plan.
Zhao Duan actually didn't want to mention it, so when he came out of the palace in the morning, he didn't tell the whole story.
All he needed was an oral decree from the empress allowing him to "have full authority to handle it".
The dragon soul in his body and the achievements he made in the previous six months make him qualified to promote this matter.
…
In the interrogation room.
A moment of silence fell.
All three prisoners were shocked by this plan!
Yun Xi's eyes became brighter and brighter. She felt that this method could really make Old Gou Zhuang sick.
It's like a fishhook with bait hidden inside. Even if you know there is a hook inside, you still have to swallow it.
She looked at Zhao Duan with a strange expression, thinking that this man was really cruel and could think of such a disgusting method.
"So, the three of us are the spies you are planning to take as prisoners?" Yun Xi asked curiously.
Zhao Duan shook his head. He finally turned around, looked at Wu Ling, and said with a smile:
"Wu Ling is different from you. As a survivor of last night, he will establish contact with Kuangfu Society as soon as possible and return early."
Last night, only a few people saw the scene of Ma Yan arresting Wu Ling.
Therefore, after discussing with Ma Yan, Zhao Duan decided to block the news.
Convenient for Wu Ling's return.
Yun Xi was stunned for a moment. She turned her little head around, stared at Wu Ling in disbelief, and blurted out:
"You betrayed too?!"
She was confused. You must know that not long ago, she mocked Wu Ling as a "traitor".
Only now did I realize that the other party was also kneeling.
Wu Ling smiled reluctantly and said:
"Last night Ma Dugong had a talk with me, and I gave up the dark side and turned to the bright side."
"..." Yun Xi said with some resentment: "That's it?"
She felt that the actor knelt down too quickly, which was a bit shameful.
Wu Ling said calmly: "Last night, the reason why I fought with the people of Zhao Ya was because I was bewitched by the Imperial Master, otherwise I would have run away long ago."
The demon's indiscriminate killing of "Ballast Stone" and its manipulation of him were the last straw that broke his back.
Zhuang Xiaocheng was so easy to sell the "ballast stone" as the second-ranking person in the branch to the imperial master, and used him as a puppet wantonly...
This move completely made Wu Ling lose confidence in Kuangfu Society.
Ma Yan took the opportunity to extend an olive branch and used some means to get Wu Ling to leave a certificate of surrender, so he decisively changed his family.
"After all, even Taifu Zhuang's disciples have abandoned the secrets and turned to the bright side, so why should I persist?" Wu Ling looked at Yun Xi with a smile.
"..." The girl felt that she was being ridiculed.
Wu Ling turned back, looked at Zhao Duan with complicated eyes, and said:
"Master Zhao, I am very confused. Why did you tell me your prisoner exchange plan? I will leave the prison later. Are you not afraid that I will reveal your plan to Zhuang Xiaocheng in advance?"
Zhao Duan's smile was as calm as the spring breeze: "Are you worried about the prisoner exchange plan being leaked?"
Worried?
What does Yangmou have to worry about?
Didn't anyone reveal that Zhuang Xiaocheng couldn't think of this level?
What's more, of course, Yun Xi and Qian Mian cannot be the only spies, there will be others.
Zhao Duan stood down from a high position, looking at this opera singer, and suddenly said quietly:
"As for calling you here, it's not without purpose."
He took a few steps closer, raised his fingers and pointed at the two women, and said softly:
"At least, today you know that they are spies. Then, when Zhuang Xiaocheng catches them during the prisoner exchange in the future and finds out their identities, it means that you have betrayed the imperial court."
Wu Ling's scalp instantly became numb and her hands and feet were cold!
Zhao Duan laughed, waved his hand and said:
"Okay, there's nothing more to do. I just want to meet you and explain. As for the prisoner exchange, it's still early. It will take at least a few months to plan and then implement it. It won't be that fast."
Wu Ling took a deep breath, stood up, bowed to him, turned around, opened the door and left.
Yun Xi also stood up, thinking about the opportunity to carry out her revenge plan, and she wanted to take action immediately.
"Wait... wait..."
Suddenly, the blue bird with the lowest presence in the room raised her hand in a low voice, and she said weakly:
"Master Zhao...I haven't rebelled yet..."
She always wanted to say that no one told her about the rebellion.
Why are you so confused that you are pulled here, as if you are tacitly agreeing to become a spy with Yun Xi?
"You haven't rebelled yet?" Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment, as if he just remembered this matter, glanced at her, and said:
"I was too busy and forgot. It's okay. It's too late for you to rebel now. Anyway, you were also involved in what happened last night."
He put the sword on the table with a smile:
"Either abandon the darkness and turn to the light, or die. It's your choice, girl."
…
…
Later.
Zhao Duan, who successfully secured three spies, left the prison in high spirits amid the flattering greetings of the jailers.
After looking at the bright sun, he asked his dedicated driver Xiao Wang to drive him home.
He no longer needs to keep an eye on things here. Zhao Duan is now impatient and wants to go back and study the "jade blade" seized from Master Bewitching.
"What is the origin of this treasure that is so cherished by the Imperial Master of Dayu and is confident that it can withstand the visualization of the God of War?"
