Even if she didn't ask, Si Jingyu was going to tell her.
"Qingzhu, do you remember the night you saved me?"
Su Qingzhu didn't understand why he mentioned that, but nodded and said, "I remember."
"That night, your face-changing gave me inspiration, and I began to look for people among the people who could make disguise masks," said Si Jingyu.
Su Qingzhu smiled. The great ones hide in the city. If there really are such great people, they are indeed only among the people.
Thinking about what he said earlier, she was slightly surprised. "Did you really find it?"
"Yeah." Si Jingyu raised his lips and chuckled, "It took me two full months to find him, and another month to persuade him before he agreed to come out."
"And then?" Su Qingzhu couldn't wait to know what happened next.
"Then," Si Jingyu led his men upstairs. After all, this was a restaurant and his men could break in at any time.
As he walked, he said, "Then I asked him to make two masks. As soon as I handed it over, I got a picture album from you."
When Su Qingzhu heard this, she recalled Si Jingyu's surprised expression when he found out that the album was a book, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
As perceptive as Si Jingyu was, how could he not know what she was thinking of?
He turned around, ruffled her hair unhappily, and continued, "He couldn't do so much by himself, so he simply called all the people from his sect to help."
Su Qingzhu smiled with relief and couldn't help but exclaim: "What a group of patriots!"
Si Jingyu had never thought that she would directly think about this level. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, they are very patriotic."
When they agreed before, he was a little confused.
Until the other party's two young disciples quietly found him and said to him: "If you encounter someone with our body shape, please let us know. We are quite skilled and observant."
At the time, he pretended to be confused and asked, "What do you mean?"
The apprentice said, "Don't hide it from us, we all know what those masks are used for.
"To be honest, I've seen one of them. He's an enemy spy, and I also know who his accomplices are."
He spoke mysteriously and a little smugly, as if saying, "If you beg me, I will tell you."
Si Jingyu found it very interesting and was happy to cooperate with him. "Tell me about it?"
"I can tell you, but you have to promise me that you'll come to us when you need us. Our parents and siblings all died in the war. We hate those invaders!"
As the young disciple spoke, his eyes turned red and tears instantly burst out, covering his face with resentment in an instant.
Si Jingyu couldn't help being moved, and finally agreed.
His thoughts drifted away from his memories. He heard Su Qingzhu whisper "Ah". Turning around, he saw her patting her chest and saying "Fortunately, fortunately". He couldn't help but find it funny.
He led the man into the house and locked the door before asking, "Fortunately what?"
Su Qingzhu didn't answer, but instead asked, "You made the masks so that you could quietly replace those people with your own people?"
"Yeah." Si Jingyu admitted honestly.
"That's fortunate."
"So what exactly is fortunate?" Si Jingyu wondered.
Su Qingzhu told him bluntly: "I once wanted to create some accidents to kill those spies, but I was afraid that you had some plans, so I never took action."
The main reason was that there were too many spies and she felt uncomfortable looking at them.
Moreover, Si Jingyu and his men were inefficient in collecting evidence when arresting people, but she was much more straightforward in killing people.
Si Jingyu thought to himself: So that’s it?
Because she had never killed any spies before and always handed them over to the Public Security Bureau, he ignored it.
He comforted her: "It's okay. If you kill the wrong person, it's my fault. It's my fault for not telling you in advance."
Su Qingzhu glared at him, "I didn't kill him. Even if I killed him by mistake, the responsibility should be borne by me. It has nothing to do with you."
Not wanting to argue with her, Si Jingyu could only nod, "Fortunately, they weren't killed. I'll have the portraits of those who have been replaced and those who are about to be replaced delivered here tomorrow morning. You can pick them up when you have time."
"Okay." She still had some free time. "So, the person the brother and sister were looking for has been replaced by you?"
"Yes, the first person we replaced was the one who was confirmed to be a spy and had the highest position," Si Jingyu explained to her. "The one they found was already a division commander. Fortunately, we replaced him early, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
Su Qingzhu asked the question in his heart: "Wouldn't it be very abrupt for the southern troops to come to the north? Can it really be implemented?"
"That man won't use the soldiers in his military district," Si Jingyu further explained. "He has a private army of 2,000 men deep in the mountains, along with a considerable supply of guns and ammunition."
Su Qingzhu was shocked. "Private soldiers? Where did they come from?"
"I came here as a conscript."
Su Qingzhu was confused, "Huh?"
Si Jingyu rubbed her head in amusement and said, “Those soldiers were recruited by his people from remote mountainous areas.
"He told the soldiers, 'You are a special branch of the military, and you are to carry out special missions, especially to capture enemy spies, so you can't reveal your whereabouts.'"
Su Qingzhu: "..."
It's so easy to cheat.
She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Could they have really helped that person capture the so-called 'enemy spy'?"
"Yeah." Si Jingyu nodded regretfully. "They were too naive. They believed everything he said. He produced fabricated evidence, and they arrested him and tortured him severely."
The people who were arrested were not spies at all, so there was no way they would confess. In the end, they all died tragically at their hands.
To say they are innocent is to say that they did kill many good officials.
Even if they are guilty, they were deceived.
He couldn't decide what to do with them, so he just left them to the commanders.
If the superior of that group of private soldiers had not suddenly come to find him, his men would still be kept in the dark about this matter.
Fortunately, it was discovered early and replaced early, otherwise I really don’t know how many of our own people would have died at the hands of our own people.
Su Qingzhu lowered his eyes, feeling mixed emotions.
He thought he was getting rid of harm for the people, but in fact he was being used by bad people to harm his own people.
If the soldiers knew about this situation, how would they deal with it?
Si Jingyu couldn't bear to see her depressed, so he hugged her in his arms.
"The past cannot be changed, so let's change the future." He kissed her, "Qingzhu, you don't know how lucky I am to have found you."
Be glad that you are not a selfish person.
"How dare you bring that up?" Su Qingzhu sneered and slapped him. "I just wanted to spend my old age in the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, but within two months, you've dragged me into this complicated situation again."
Si Jingyu smiled apologetically, "In the final analysis, it's because you're too soft-hearted. If you had been more ruthless and killed me back then, none of this would have happened."
Su Qingzhu lay in his arms and stopped talking.
She really couldn't kill someone who was not afraid of death just because he was asking for help.
Not to mention her, no one with a conscience would do it.
