It was not until the evening that the deputy general came back to report.
"General, just as you expected, General Zhengxi Mao went out and entered the county town, then went to a Yuelai Restaurant. He didn't come out for half an hour. Less than a quarter of an hour after he left, a man came out of the room. I quietly knocked him unconscious and brought him back."
Deputy General Chang said to Murong Yuanbo.
"Very good. Bring him here and I will personally interrogate him. Send someone to secretly monitor General Mao. If they find anything wrong, arrest him immediately. Instruct them to be careful and avoid being discovered."
Murong Yuanbo gave orders without delay and reminded them to be careful so as not to alert the enemy.
"Yes, General!"
Deputy General Chang went out after he finished speaking.
Not long after, he carried a sack and quietly entered Murong Yuanbo's room.
He threw the sack to the ground, and the person inside let out a low groan of pain.
"General, it has been arranged. General Chang will never find out."
Deputy General Chang said to Murong Yuanbo.
"Alright, bring him out and I will personally interrogate him."
Murong Yuanbo still recognized Deputy General Chang's ability to get things done. He had been with him for more than ten years and the two of them had a good understanding of each other.
Deputy General Chang pulled the man out of the sack and woke him up.
Du Jianhao opened his eyes and saw that his surroundings were unfamiliar, especially the two men in military uniforms. His heart skipped a beat. This was a military camp. Had his secret been exposed?
"Who are you? Why did you bring me here? What do you want to do?"
Du Jianhao pretended to be calm and made the accusation.
"Why? Don't you know?"
"This is our Daliang's cavalry general. This is the military camp. Who did you meet just now? Don't you know?"
Deputy General Chang pointed at Murong Yuanbo and said.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just an honest citizen, you can't do anything to me."
It turned out that he was the brave cavalry general that their soldiers were so afraid of. No wonder he felt nervous when he saw him.
"I don't know what to say? Good citizen? You just met our General Mao, the General who conquered the West, and now you're playing dumb and saying you don't know anything. Do you need me to bring General Mao to confront you?"
Seeing that the other party was trying to quibble and get away with it, Murong Yuanbo reprimanded him sternly.
"I am an ordinary citizen. I don't know any General Zhengxi. Please don't slander me or frame me. Even if you are soldiers, you can't just accuse me of something."
Du Jianhao was stunned for a moment and felt scared. He wondered if he knew something.
"It seems you're determined to fight to the death. This general doesn't mind fulfilling your wish and letting you confront General Mao face to face. Think carefully. If we don't have evidence, do you think I'd dare bring you here? So think carefully. There's a big difference between admitting it yourself and having someone else admit it. I've given you a chance. Whether you can seize it depends on whether you'll do it."
Murong Yuanbo deceived Du Jianhao.
He has no evidence, otherwise he would have arrested him long ago.
However, if he wants to get away with it, it depends on whether he agrees or not.
"I don't know what the general said. If you have evidence, kill me. If not, let me go."
Du Jianhao suspected that they were deceiving him.
If there really was evidence, he would have been tortured in jail long ago, and he would not have spoken so nicely.
"It seems you won't die until you reach the Yellow River. This general has no choice but to grant your wish."
If he still wants to be stubborn and refuse to confess, then let him do so.
"What do you mean?"
Du Jianhao suddenly had an ominous premonition that the other party had some big move waiting for him.
"What do you mean? If we hadn't captured Mao Haijun and tortured him severely, he would have betrayed you and cooperated with us to lure you out. Do you think we would have caught you so quickly?"
Sure enough, Murong Yuanbo expressed his bad premonition that General Mao had betrayed him.
"Nonsense! He can't possibly betray me, or his wife and children's lives will be in danger."
At this moment, Du Jianhao was flustered and didn't even want to refute.
He didn't think about it carefully. If he had evidence of Mao Haijun colluding with him, he would not have received such a good treatment. He would probably be tortured and forced to confess in prison. It is really easy to be deceived by a confused mind.
"Uh, so they captured his wife and children and forced him to do something for you. Thank you for telling me."
After getting the result he wanted, Murong Yuanbo looked at Du Jianhao with amusement and said in a relaxed mood.
"Are you trying to trick me?"
At this moment, Du Jianhao finally realized that the other party was trying to trick him, but he was foolishly tricked by him.
His heart was filled with anxiety and anger, and he spoke angrily and viciously.
"If I hadn't plotted against you, how would I have found evidence of General Mao's collaboration with the enemy? I don't need to thank you much for this."
Murong Yuanbo didn't take his look seriously and stimulated him with a happy mood.
I thought if I gouged him out, he would be afraid. Who was he? He had crawled out from the dead, and he still cared about some looks.
"You, you, you are so despicable! Even a dignified general of the cavalry would resort to such despicable means."
Irritated by Murong Yuanbo's indifferent look, he frowned and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Despicable? You're not despicable. You captured someone's wife and children and blackmailed them. You're not despicable. Are you kidding me?"
Murong Yuanbo said with a smile instead of anger.
"Besides, to deal with a despicable person like you, you should use despicable means. What do you call it? It's called giving someone a taste of their own medicine."
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone so shameless.
You can be despicable, but we can't. What kind of logic is this?
What a double standard!
"Alright, tell me who you are and what you want to do. If you tell me clearly, I can spare your life."
Murong Yuanbo didn't want to waste time and wanted to end the battle quickly.
"Don't even think about it!"
Du Jianhao said without thinking.
Don't even think about asking him to betray his country unless he dies.
"You are so presumptuous! You are a prisoner now. You don't confess honestly in front of the general, and you dare to be so presumptuous. You are simply courting death."
Deputy General Chang was so angry that he wanted to kill Du Jianhao.
Now that you are a prisoner, you cannot have any sense of being a prisoner.
"No defense, let him be arrogant for a while, wait, he will tell you everything."
Murong Yuanbo comforted Deputy General Chang and looked at Du Jianhao with a sneer.
"You are so arrogant! I won't tell you anything. No one can pry open my mouth and get a single word out of me."
Du Jianhao said this swearingly.
As long as you insist on not telling anyone, no one will know anything about the Tatars.
"Really? So confident. You'll soon find out if I'm being arrogant or not."
Murong Yuanbo took out a small bottle from his sleeve, poured out a pill, and walked towards Du Jianhao with an evil smile.
