: Great gains

The reason why Zhao Ru Sect has always trusted Zhou Tong very much is because he was actually a general who had followed him for a long time. The battle of Liaoyang in the first year of Tianqi was the biggest stain on Zhao Ru Sect's life. He fled in a hurry because he could not defend Liaoyang City, and thus surrendered the city to the Jurchens. At this time, Zhou Tong was in the city. Later, Zhao Ru Sect was brave enough to defend Qiantun the following year and recruited tens of thousands of refugees, which prevented the entire Liaodong from falling into the hands of the Later Jin people.

Not long afterwards, Sun Chengzong came here and reused Zhao Shujiao, the man who had made a big mistake. When he had made some progress, Zhou Tong returned to him. Because he knew about his past and knew that his relatives were all lost to the Liaoyang City, Zhao Shujiao was very relieved of Zhou Tong, until today. But now he heard that his mother and wife and children were not dead yet, which really surprised Zhao Shujiao.

After a while, Zhao Rujiao calmed down and said, "You said your wife and children fell into Jianlu's hands. What's going on?"

Zhou Tong smiled bitterly and began to tell his own experience three years ago: "On the day when Liaoyang City was broken, the last general only wanted to rescue his family from the city to avoid being harmed by Jianlu. He did not want to be captured alive by Jianlu because his mother was old and weak. He would only die if he saved herself. Unexpectedly, the person who caught me did not kill my family because he knew that I was a former Ming soldier."

Tang Feng felt a little moved when he heard this. In his understanding, there was no such scheming among the Later Jin people at this time. He actually thought of using Zhou Tong's identity to control him and make him a detailed work of the Jurchens. So he kept a heart at this time and waited to ask him in detail later. Zhou Tong's words continued: "They told me that as long as I do things for them, I will not kill my wife, children, and mother, otherwise my wife will be humiliated by all kinds of humiliation, and my son will also be lit by them..." On the face, he was afraid and angry.

After a while of convulsion, he said, "In order to prevent my family from being hurt, I had to agree to their request. Not long afterwards, I was sent back by them, and then I met you again with General. You are as kind as a mountain to me, and I have thought of telling the truth to you, but... when I think of my family, I can't raise the courage. Then I provided a lot of information for the Jurchens. Since then, I have been deeply trapped and can only obey their instructions." Speaking of this, he had no face and lowered his head with guilt.

It turned out that Tang Feng was still despised Zhou Tong, a traitor. Now after hearing his words, he began to feel a little sympathetic to this person. After all, Tang Feng is a person with modern thinking and does not regard the righteousness of the country as much as the ancients. After looking at Zhou Tong for a while, he said, "So did I say the words I used to distribute your mind before?"

"Yes, because my identity is low, I am just a pawn in the eyes of the Jurchens. Once my identity is exposed, even if I return to the Jurchens, they will not let me go. In that case, my family will... in order to save myself and save my family, I must make a great contribution to save my life. And these six "Haidongqing" are very important in terms of their identities and the information they have. If I can save them, my family should not be in any danger..." Speaking of this, he was ashamed again, because in order to save himself, he actually took Zhao Shu, who had a strong trust in himself, hostage.

After a while, Zhao Shujiao said softly: "You hold me hostage to protect your family, I won't blame you for this matter. However, you became a detailed work of Jianlu for your own family and leaked the secrets of our army. As the general, I can't spare you. Do you have anything else to say?"

"I'm sorry to the general, and to the general! I'm just asking for death now, and I have no other thoughts!" Zhou Tong closed his eyes and said.

Tang Feng asked at this time: "Actually, you still have the chance to atone for your sins and can save your family's lives. I just don't know if you want it or not." When he heard that there was still a chance, Zhou Tong, who had already closed his eyes and waited for death, opened his eyes again, looking at Tang Feng full of hope. He did not value his life very much, but when he thought that the angry Jurchens would deal with his wife and children when he died, he still felt heartbroken.

Tang Feng glanced at Zhao Rujiao, and saw that he had no objection, he said, "You have been in Liaodong as a traitor for almost three years. I think you should be very clear about the Jurchens and their detailed things, right? So I want you to tell them all about these situations, which will be a great contribution to us. You will save your life because of this, and your family will be able to survive."

Zhou Tong nodded immediately and responded: "Although I don't know much, I still know some. There are indeed many people like me and spies who are Jurchens who are themselves controlled by the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong..."

Tang Feng glanced at the Jurchen man, had other thoughts in his mind, and waved his hand to interrupt Zhou Tong's words: "You are injured now, so bandage it first. Let's ask this warrior first to see how much he knows." After saying this, Tang Feng slowly walked to the man and stared at him tightly.

After such a stir just now, the man's body became even more depressed, but his spirit had recovered a lot. But now under Tang Feng's stare, his heart was still beating wildly because he knew that the next young man who seemed very gentle would use his method to force him to tell the secret. But at this moment, he firmly believed that he would not let this person succeed again, and even if he died, he would not reveal a secret.

"I know you have recovered, but that doesn't matter." Tang Feng smiled at him, but this smile was more terrifying in his eyes than glaring. Tang Feng stared at him for a while before saying, "You have seen that there is a person here who is willing to confess your details. So even if there is no Jinyiwei, your people will be caught by us. But don't worry, what I said just now is counting. As long as you refuse to tell us the matter, I will make people publicize it and say that everything is revealed by you. You should also know that I am not scaring you now, because at least we can capture a lot of spies. So I will not give you time to consider which way you choose, say!" Tang Feng said this and gave a wink to solve the problem.

Although he was not interested in this person who was no longer threatening, the young master ordered to solve the problem and had to take out the short blade again and gently put it on the other party's neck to threaten. Tang Feng did not talk nonsense anymore and directly counted again: "One!"

When Zhao Rujiao and Zhou Tong saw that Tang Feng had asked each other again, they were a little surprised, but then they understood Tang Feng's intention and praised him for his ability to master time. Because now with Zhou Tong's existence, if the other party refused to confess, Ming Jun would not suffer much loss. Once he confessed, he would have to say everything he knew because of Zhou Tong's existence, otherwise Zhou Tong, who had completely surrendered, would naturally point it out.

This time he didn't hold on until the end. When Tang Feng counted to seven, he had already said that he was willing to confess. After all, he had already been shaken before, and now he didn't have much psychological burden to confess. Tang Feng smiled with satisfaction and asked Zhao Rujiao to call the person in the transcript and asked Zhou Tong to listen: "I warn you, but there is something wrong with me. I will do what I said before, so that you will become a traitor despised by everyone in the clan!"

The purpose of "Haidongqing" came here this time was to spy on all the information and to transmit the news back from the spies, so they knew very well about the traitors in the fortress controlled by the Ming army in Liaodong. This time, he confessed with such a trick, and some of them were known to Zhou Tong, and some of them were unknown to Zhou Tong. Although Tang Feng did not fully believe his confession, he also knew that this was a great good thing for the entire Liaodong defense line.

After he had recruited everything, Tang Feng and Zhao Shu taught them to leave the stone room and came to the lobby where the military affairs were discussed. Zhou Tong also returned to the lobby after someone treated his wounds, which gave him a feeling of being a human being. Tang Feng looked at him and said, "Now it's time for you to say everything."

So Zhou Tong quickly told him everything he knew. In addition to the traitors everywhere, he also mentioned the situation of some cities under the control of the Jurchens. Although it was three years ago, it was already very useful. At this time, Tang Feng suddenly thought of something he had in mind before and asked: "When you said just now that you and your family were captured, the person who captured you did not kill you because you were a soldier of the Ming army. Do you still remember who this person was? In my memory, these barbarians do not have such a mind."

Zhao Rujiao looked at Tang Feng with some admiration. Although he had been dealing with the Jurchens for so many years, it seemed that he could see through it. He nodded and echoed: "Yes, I know what the thief chief of Jianlu was named Nur. He is a brave man who only knows how to fight. If they really have this mind, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with them."

Zhou Tong thought about it carefully before saying, "I don't know his identity, I only remember that someone called him Four Beile at that time..."
