Because Liu Bowen spoke out, Qin Lingjun did not shoot Li Desun to death.
Seeing that Li Desun had been captured, she turned around and said to Liu Bowen: "Mr. Liu, why don't you let me shoot him?"
Liu Bowen said: "I also want to kill this person, but it's not the right time yet!"
"How long will it take?"
Liu Bowen smiled and said: "Madam, don't be impatient. I dare to say that within a month, Fang Guozhen will be ordered to be safe by the Yuan Dynasty. Then it will be justifiable to kill Li Desun!"
Li Desun was tied up, but he still refused to be honest and said angrily: "That's nonsense. Our commander-in-chief has been attacking Tatar Chuzhou recently. How can we accept their orders again?"
Zhang Yangquan was also a little strange and asked: "Why does Mr. Liu think that Fang Guozhen will seek refuge with Yuan Ting again?"
Liu Bowen then explained what he had just speculated.
Qin Lingjun frowned and said: "Fang Guozhen always likes to act according to the wind. Now that the uprising army is strong and the Tatars are weak, how can he join the Tatars at this time?"
Liu Bowen said: "I have been thinking about this matter. After thinking about it, the biggest reason should be because of Jiangdu Army's navy!"
"Navy master?" Zhang Yangquan and Qin Lingjun were both stunned.
Liu Bowen said: "Although Fang Guozhen is a capricious villain, he is not a fool. He knows very well what his greatest advantage is. Yuan Ting cannot threaten him, but Jiangdu Navy can!"
Zhang Yangquan's eyes flickered and he said thoughtfully: "You mean, he thinks Jiangdu Navy is stronger than his navy, so he is afraid?"
"That's it. In the past, no matter which side he defected to, he could always feel at ease. Even if he couldn't defeat him, he could still escape to the sea! Because no one could rival him on the sea!"
Qin Lingjun sneered: "He is afraid that after we defeat him in the future, we will chase him to the sea and completely eliminate him, so he wants to join forces with the Tatars to deal with us!"
Zhang Yangquan raised his eyebrows and said: "No wonder he wanted to get our army's gunpowder so frantically that he even killed two people!"
Liu Bowen twisted his beard and praised: "The new gunpowder developed by the general manager has greatly enhanced the power of artillery. As long as it is paired with warships, it will form a terrifying navy. Fang Guozhen knew that he was no match, so he wanted to steal the gunpowder!"<
/p>
Qin Lingjun stared at Li Desun for a while, and saw that his face was pale and his eyes were evasive. It was obvious that all his guesses were correct!
"Husband, if this is the case, lock this man up first, and then kill him after Fang Guozhen orders him to be safe!"
Liu Bowen suggested: "We can spread the news to the outside world and make it known to the outside world that Fang Guozhen killed someone for stealing gunpowder."
He glanced at Li Desun and said: "Two days later, we will announce to the outside world that Li Desun will not be able to survive the punishment and will confess to Fang Guozhen to summon the imperial court!"
Li Desun said sternly: "Stop dreaming, I will never confess even if I die!"
Qin Lingjun crossed her arms and sneered: "What does it matter whether you confess or not? As long as Fang Guozhen knows that it was you who confessed!"
Li Desun was so angry that he vomited blood. He knew Fang Guozhen's methods very well. If he thought that he had betrayed him, he would definitely kill everyone in his family, young and old!
"I...I am willing to join the Jiangdu Army...Please don't announce this to the outside world yet!" He gritted his teeth and finally gave in.
Qin Lingjun glanced at him sideways: "Who wants you to take refuge? If you kill one of our people, you must pay with your life!"
Li Desun said anxiously: "The death of those two people has nothing to do with me. It was Fang Deqian's idea. Shen Mao also directly obeyed Fang Deqian's orders!"
Zhang Yangquan asked: "Who is Fang Deqian?"
"He is Fang Guozhen's adopted son, and he is very respected by Fang Guozhen. It was he who came up with the idea of stealing your army's gunpowder, and he is in Jiangdu now!"
The monkey was startled and asked quickly: "Where is he?"
Li Desun said: "I am hiding in the south of the city and running a tea shop."
"Is it Yueji Tea Shop?"
Li Desun was stunned for a moment and said: "Yes."
The monkey raised his hands to Zhang Yangquan and said: "General manager, our people have been eyeing Yue Ji Tea Shop, but we can't find their identities. I didn't expect them to be Fang Guozhen's men. It's my subordinate who neglected his duty!"
Zhang Yangquan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You have done a great job in discovering them in advance."
Turning to Liu Bowen, he said: "Mr. Liu, we will directly take people over to arrest Fang Deqian now. What do you think?"
Liu Bowen pondered: "If you rush to arrest him rashly, it will be easy to alert the enemy. It is better to ask Li Desun to write a letter to Fang Deqian, lead him to the designated place, and then arrest him."
Zhang Yangquan nodded and shouted: "Li Desun, have you heard everything?"
Li Desun hurriedly said: "I am willing to write a letter!"
Soon, Li Desun wrote a letter and returned to Guanyi. He sent a subordinate to deliver the letter to Fang Deqian's tea shop and made an appointment to meet him at the shabby tavern in the west of the city.
The agreed time was at 10:00 in the evening, and Li Desun arrived at the tavern half an hour early.
A dragnet has been set up around the tavern, just waiting for Fang Deqian to show up.
Zhang Yangquan, Qin Lingjun, Liu Bowen and Hou Hou were waiting at the corner of an alley opposite.
Liu Bowen suddenly said: "Manager, do you want to put an eye and ear next to Fang Guozhen?"
Zhang Yangquan stood behind the corner, turned around and said with a smile: "You are referring to Li Desun, right?"
Liu Bowen smiled slightly: "That's him."
Qin Lingjun stood next to Zhang Yangquan, staring at the door of the tavern, and said: "Li Desun is very cunning. If we let him go, we will be cut off immediately!"
Liu Bowen smiled and said: "As long as you two want Li Desun's eyes and ears, I will find a way to control him!"
Zhang Yangquan's eyes lit up and he said: "Mr. Liu, what's your clever idea?"
Liu Bowen laughed and said: "If you want to subdue Li Desun, you must reveal your flaws when Fang Deqian is arrested later and scare him away in advance!"
Qin Lingjun frowned and said, "Wouldn't Li Desun be exposed?"
Zhang Yangquan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I understand, Mr. Liu's method is to expose Li Desun!"
Liu Bowen said happily: "That's exactly it."
Qin Lingjun said dissatisfied: "What on earth are you two talking about? Can you explain it more clearly?"

Zhang Yangquan explained: "After Fang Deqian knew that Li Desun had a problem, he would definitely write a letter to tell Fang Guozhen. As long as this letter is intercepted, he can control Li Desun!"
Qin Lingjun's eyes flashed slightly: "Yes, after we kill Fang Deqian, if this letter falls into Fang Guozhen's hands, he will not let Li Desun go. In this case, Li Desun will never dare to disobey us!"
Zhang Yangquan glanced at Liu Bowen and said, "Mr. just asked Li Desun to ask Fang Deqian out just to get this letter, right?"
Liu Bowen smiled and nodded.
Zhang Yangquan couldn't help feeling that with a think tank like Liu Bowen by his side, no matter what he did, he would be able to find a better way to deal with it.
Next, according to Liu Bowen's arrangement, the monkey issued an order to let his subordinates deliberately expose their flaws and frighten Fang Deqian away.
A quarter of an hour later, Fang Deqian finally appeared on the street.
He was wearing ordinary gray linen clothes and had a dark complexion.
Zhang Yangquan didn't realize his identity at first, but Qin Lingjun's sharp eyes revealed that although he looked careless, he was actually observing his surroundings.
Under the instructions of the monkey, a drunkard sat beside the ditch in the tavern, staring closely at Fang Deqian. There was also a drinker standing at the door of the tavern, glancing at Fang Deqian from time to time.
Fang Deqian was so keen that he immediately saw something was wrong. He didn't panic and passed by the tavern slowly without even looking at the tavern.
Since there was a trap in the tavern, it was most likely that Li Desun had a problem. Fang Deqian returned to his residence and immediately wrote a letter to Fang Guozhen, telling him his suspicions.
Not long after the letter was sent, a loud "bang" was heard, and the door of the tea shop seemed to be kicked open.
Fang Deqian was so shocked that he turned around and ran towards the back door. As soon as he got out of the back door, he was blocked by a group of men in black. They swarmed him and pushed him to the ground!
After Fang Deqian was arrested, Li Desun became an informant of the Jiangdu Army. That night, he quietly left Jiangdu City and was ordered to return to Fang Guozhen as an undercover agent.
At this time, he didn't know that Fang Deqian had written such a letter, and he was secretly thinking about how to get through it. Anyway, he would just not have any contact with Jiang Dujun afterwards.
Early the next morning, news that Fang Guozhen sent his men to plot to steal gunpowder swept the city.
As soon as the news came out, the envoys of the various rebel armies in the city were very surprised. They sent people out to inquire, only to learn that in order to obtain the secret of gunpowder, Fang Guozhen sent spies to investigate and killed two craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau.
Each rebel army will send spies to find out the news, but no lives will be lost. This is a tacit understanding!
Fang Guozhen crossed the line, and his men deserved to be detained.
Jiang Dujun said to the outside world that he was afraid of hurting the harmony among the rebels, so he asked Fang Guozhen to give an explanation. It can be said that he was very restrained and took the overall situation into consideration.
All the rebels secretly praised and despised Fang Guozhen's shameless behavior!
At this time, there are only five days left before the King Ceremony.
