Lin Sheng took the knife but did not make a move. He smiled at the person behind me and said, "Master Xiang, I think this person is still useful."
I took the opportunity to turn around and shout, "Who the hell are you?"
The person who was originally standing behind me had moved a few steps away in an instant and was facing away from me. Obviously he didn't want me to see his face. He was wearing a black turban on his head and an khaki trousers.
Wearing a cloth shirt, he has a similar figure to Lin Sheng, and there is nothing special about him.
"You don't need to know who we are, you just need to understand that your life is now in our hands. If we want to kill you, it is as easy as stepping on an ant." Lin Sheng said, still smiling.
I glared at him: "Kill him if you want!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Sheng raised his hand and the knife was pressed against my neck again.
I was so nervous that I didn’t even dare to swallow my saliva, for fear that if I moved even a little bit, my neck would be cut. How could this person keep his word? Didn’t he say that keeping me would be useful?
Xiao Mu, where are you? You never said that being a spy would be such a big risk!
I could feel sweat dripping from my forehead, and beads of sweat ran down my neck, soon soaking half of my back.
Lin Sheng looked at my bearish look and moved the knife slightly to the side: "What, are you scared?"
"Don't... don't kill me!" I quickly took a breath and begged.
"Hehehe, are you begging me?" Lin Sheng said with a very proud smile.
The man in yellow shirt on the side was also full of contempt: "Are you really Mu Youxuan's secret agent?"
I was still hesitating, but Lin Sheng put the knife on my shoulder and slapped me hard: "Say!"
I was so frightened that my whole body trembled: "Yes."
"Who else is there besides you? Say it and I'll spare your life." Lin Sheng asked, without any intention of taking the knife away.
I have to admit that I am really afraid of death. I am still young and have not yet married a wife. I still have A Niang, what will happen to her if I die? And Jiajia, she will definitely be heartbroken for me...
But, no matter what, how could I betray other spies just to save my own life?
"I...I...don't know." I replied softly, feeling my voice trembling.
"Don't know?" Lin Sheng obviously didn't believe it. He poked his head toward me and said, "Don't know anyone?"
I remember Mrs. Mu once said that if something happens, just to save her life, she can be surrendered. However, although she is a heroine with strong martial arts skills, she is pregnant now after all. I pointed the finger at a pregnant woman.
Still a man?
"I don't think there's any use in keeping him. Let's just kill him with one blow!" The man in the yellow shirt sounded impatient.
"yes."
"No!" I was even more panicked when I heard that Lin Sheng actually accepted the order: "I know, there is also... Li... Li Huichun, yes, Li Huichun! He has such a good relationship with the imperial envoy, he must be a secret agent."
"Li Huichun?" Lin Sheng finally took the knife back and started playing with it in his hand: "You don't need to tell me about this person, he must be."
"That idiot Yang Mosheng still hoped to convict Li Huichun of murder by tricking him, but he didn't expect that if he failed to steal the chicken, he would lose the rice instead."
"Master Xiang, I think Mu You treated Yang Mosheng well. Could it be that he really switched sides, so he deliberately killed the two men we sent to him?" Lin Sheng asked.
"Yang Mosheng's brother Zhu Jiang died in Mu You's hands. Do you think he will help Mu You deal with us?"
"This... my subordinate will send someone to find out tonight to see how much Yang Mosheng told Mu You."
"No, you can't." The man in the yellow shirt raised his hand, but still didn't look back: "Mu You is very cunning. Maybe he deliberately let us know that Yang Mosheng is in his hands and is waiting for us to rescue him, thus laying a trap.
Let us throw ourselves into the trap.”
Lin Sheng was slightly startled: "What Master Xiang said is true. This subordinate was almost reckless."
"Besides Li Huichun, do you know which spies Mu You has chosen?" the man in yellow shirt asked again.
I knew that this person was the real leader of the detail and was not so easy to fool. So I had to answer honestly: "Mrs. Mu's proposal for marriage was also supported by the imperial envoy, just to take this opportunity to select some outstanding talents for his use."
"Well, I've thought about this too. Then do you know who Mu You selected?" Lin Sheng asked: "Are the ten people Mu Xian'er gave the wallet to all secret agents?"
I nodded seriously: "I suspect they are all."
"Doubtful? Are you not sure?"
"Well... the imperial envoy didn't tell me much. I asked, and he said that since he is a secret agent, of course he cannot reveal the identity of others, so I didn't dare to ask any more questions."
"Then when did you become a secret agent?"
When? I secretly counted on my fingers for a while and replied: "October 29th."
"Oh? Do you remember it so clearly?"
"October 28th is Jiajia's birthday. She was kidnapped by you. The next day, Xiao Mu...oh, the imperial envoy came to see me and asked me to be his spy."
Lin Sheng took two steps toward me: "How do you know it was me who kidnapped that ugly girl?"
I glanced at him timidly: "Eyes. Although you were wearing a ghost mask like them, your eyes were exposed, so I have always been a little suspicious of you."
"Hahaha, yes, you can doubt me with just one pair of eyes. Fortunately, I hurried back to the county office that day to help Xu Luo make notes." Lin Sheng showed a hint of talent on his face and looked at the man in yellow shirt.
Said: "Master Xiang, this man is really a good spy. How about we let him live for now?"
The man in yellow shirt didn't answer but asked: "When was Yang Mosheng exposed? But did you find out his identity?"
I tried to calm myself down: "Yes. He was particularly concerned about Madam Mu's choice of husband, and often asked me about Jianghu Inn intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was investigating something. Later, the imperial envoy asked me to be his spy, and I
So I reported all these doubts to the imperial envoy."
"This idiot, I have long warned him not to be eager for quick success, but he still couldn't calm down and showed his weakness."
"What about me? Since you have suspected me for so long, have you reported it to Mu You?" Lin Sheng became slightly nervous.
"No...no." I shook my head hurriedly: "I just think your eyes look familiar. After all, I have never seen your appearance. I will not report anything I am unsure of."
"Well, not bad, quite serious. Now that you know everything, what are you going to do?" Lin Sheng took out a handkerchief, wiped the knife, and asked slowly.
"I... don't worry, Chief, I... I won't tell anyone." I looked at his knife and felt inexplicably nervous again.
"How do you expect us to trust you?"
"this……"
Lin Sheng saw that I was nervous and smiled with satisfaction: "Ever since Yang Mosheng moved into your house, I started to send people to monitor you. Because it was the first time you helped our county government perform an autopsy, I felt that your observation ability is very suitable for this job.
spy.
When I arrested Wang Jiajia last time, I was originally going to give you a task, but Yang Mosheng said he had a plan and asked me not to disturb you, so I gave it up for the time being.
You and I are destined, and it seems that today is finally the time for us to cooperate."
"Cooperation?" I looked at Lin Sheng in surprise: "How to cooperate?"
"Tell me everything you know, and then obey our orders from now on."
I pondered, in this case, wouldn’t I become a spy for the enemy country? How could I betray Xiao Mu and the Tang Dynasty!
"What? Do you still need to consider this?" Lin Sheng looked at me coldly: "I can tie up Wang Jiajia once, and I can tie her up again. Although that girl has a scar on her face, she still has some charm.
These brothers of mine haven’t touched a woman for a long time.”
"you……"
"Hey, don't get excited! I heard that your mother was also injured that time. Is she okay now? I also heard that your mother is pregnant again. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Then you have to take good care of her. Don't do it again.
What went wrong!" Lin Sheng continued in an angry tone.
My heart was in doubt again. I am just an ordinary person. How could I not be afraid of death? This guy threatened me with my family. What should I do? Do I still have the right to choose?
I glared at him angrily and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Hey, have you agreed to cooperate? Hahahaha!" Lin Sheng proudly said to the man in yellow shirt: "Congratulations to Master Xiang for getting another general!"
"Yang Mosheng once reported that Mu You planted a hundred spies inside Tubo, but is it true?" the man in yellow shirt asked.
One hundred spies? I was secretly happy and replied seriously: "Yes, the imperial envoy said this."
"Who were sent?"
I had an idea: "They are a group of people whom the Imperial Envoy valued highly when he was the county magistrate in Yiling. I don't know the exact number. They were sent to Tubo and conveyed a lot of news.
County Captain Mu always accompanied the imperial envoys, but this time after Mrs. Mu’s wedding, he went back to Yiling with his family. He said that his sister-in-law was happy to have a son and he came back to congratulate her. However, it had been more than a month since he left.
He hasn’t come back yet, and he is probably doing something for the imperial envoy in Yiling."
I made some nonsense and looked at Lin Sheng secretly, and saw that he was really uneasy again.
"Master Xiang, it seems they are still planning to plant spies inside our army. This..."
The man in yellow shirt was also angry: "You don't have to worry about this. I will write to the king and ask him to investigate strictly. You can take care of this person."
"Yes." Lin Sheng replied. Seeing the man in yellow shirt walking away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at me with a smile: "Li Jianghu, you really can pretend that a small vendor selling tofu is actually a spy. Look.
Come on, Mu You and I thought of going together. The more ordinary people like you are, the easier it is to hide your identity."
I looked at him calmly: "Speak directly, what do you want me to do? But first of all, I want to tell you that I will not kill people or set fires. If you want me to do such a job, then you can kill me."
"Hey, don't worry, I have always advocated that everyone use their talents and will never make things difficult for you." Lin Sheng pretended to be peaceful: "The task I taught you is very simple. Help me find out whether Mu You is in Xiangxiang."
How many spies like you are there in the city?"
I was a little embarrassed: "Xiangzhou City is so big, how do you want me to check it?"
"Hey, don't be excited, don't be anxious. Starting from today, I will give you ten days to slowly check. When the time comes, go directly to the county government office with the list to find me. You are considered an acquaintance, and the government officials will not search.
Your body will not stop you.
Don't worry, it's okay if you can't hand over the list. For the sake of getting to know each other, I will prepare several good coffins for you and let your family be buried in peace.
Ha ha ha ha!"
Lin Sheng laughed wildly and left, leaving me alone in the wilderness. The cold wind pierced through my sweaty clothes like a sharp knife, and even my heart almost froze.
