Chapter 431 Spy Possibly Everywhere

The remaining five robbers rushed to confess.

We can't afford to be passive!

Didn't you see that the boss, who was just being stubborn, is so swollen that the rope is digging into his flesh?

Unable to live, unable to die!

What? You're saying you can bite your tongue and commit suicide?

How could that be? How could people with martial arts skills commit suicide by biting their tongues?

That's something only a frail young woman could do.

If they could really kill themselves by biting their tongues, why would they hide poison in their molars...?

So these people said everything they should and shouldn't have said.

"There are thirty people in total, six of them are here, and twenty-four have entered the city."

“The valiant general sent us.”

“They’re not just in the capital, they’re in the north too. Everyone’s lying in wait, just waiting for a decisive blow.”

"We belong to the Imperial Court and are under the leadership of the valiant General."

"We will take action against the Duke of Dingguo's mansion and the Duke of Changsheng's mansion during the twenty-four nights we enter the city."

"And... we haven't killed anyone since we got here. We haven't killed a single person yet."

......

The five people's eager confessions almost overwhelmed Shen Qingyue, who was in charge of recording them.

After everyone had finished speaking, Shen Qingyue finally began to ask questions.

"Besides the thirty of you, are there any others being sent to Da Yu, or to other places?"

"That's all! Our mission was in your capital city..."

"No one else was sent, only our group!" one of the robbers said first.

"Then where are your people located in the North?" Shen Qingyue asked again.

“They're in every border town!”

They disguised themselves as traveling merchants and set up stalls in various border towns to lie in wait.

Some even disguised themselves as people looking for work.

As soon as the two armies start fighting, these people will take action in the border city.

"As long as the border city is in chaos, the Northern Hu will have a chance," another bandit said preemptively.

Shen Qingyue immediately wrote it down.

This news is very important. Once we get back to the city, we need to send the message to the north as soon as possible.

"How many troops do you have? Where are your supplies hidden?"

How is the young emperor's health? What are the weaknesses of the Right Chancellor?

"Did you know these things?" Hua Wanli continued to ask.

The robbers were just about to speak...

They really don't know...

Soon, Hua Wanli and Shen Qingyue finished asking these people their questions.

I looked outside, and it was already pitch black!

"Go back! Hurry back and make arrangements! Otherwise, we won't be able to catch the rest of them," Hua Wanli said.

Shen Qingyue quickly told Jianyun to pack up the things.

However, looking at the six people still hanging from the roof beams, Shen Qingyue still asked.

"What about them? What if they managed to break free and run away?"

"Just leave them hanging like that! Someone will come and take them away when it gets light."

As for breaking free? Hah, this is a pig's trotter knot; even a pig couldn't break free. These guys will never be able to break free in their entire lives.

As Hua Wanli spoke, she pulled Shen Qingyue away.

And so, the six robbers were left hanging from the rafters all night.

It wasn't until the next day that the officers of the Five Cities Garrison escorted them all back to the Ministry of Justice prison.

......

Fortunately, Shen Qingyue had the waist token given to her by Emperor Xiaowu, so even though she entered the city at night, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to show the slightest impatience.

That night, almost everyone knew that the capital was bustling with activity.

But everyone wisely stayed home.

It was lively outside, and everyone wanted to see the excitement, but their lives were more important.

Upon hearing any noise, even those who desperately wanted to watch the commotion quickly blocked their front doors.

At most, he would press his ear against the door to listen to what was happening outside.

Hmm, judging from the location, it seems to be the residence of the Duke of Dingguo and the Duke of Changsheng.

Hey, should we go help?

Forget it, they shouldn't go. Both households have people watching over them, so they definitely don't need their help.

They might even do more harm than good!

And so, the commotion outside stopped in less than fifteen minutes.

See, everyone guessed right!

No need for help at all, it hasn't even been that long! The problem is already solved...

Early the next morning, the Ministry of Justice and the Five City Garrison dragged out all those arrested the night before from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion and the Duke of Changsheng's mansion and paraded them through the streets.

"Twenty-four villains sneaked into the city at night, intending to harm the Duke of Dingguo's mansion and the Duke of Changsheng's mansion."

They have all been apprehended!

We urge all households to guard their doors and be vigilant against criminals…

Those thugs were still dressed in night clothes, but they all had injuries on their bodies.

A thick hemp rope tied them together.

Upon seeing this, the people, regardless of what they had in their hands, began to throw things at these people with all their might.

Eggs, vegetable roots, vegetable leaves, sewage...

"Damn barbarians, how dare you come to Dayu to seek death!"

"I'll beat you to death! I'll stop you from invading my Great Yu!"

"Do you still consider the Great Yu Dynasty to be the former dynasty?"

......
