Chapter 421 He doesn't chat with us.
The first person arrested was a middle-aged man who sold vegetables. It is said that he had been in Beijing for more than ten years.
Why was he discovered?
It was his neighbor, an uncle who sold meat at home, who discovered it.
"He never chats with us," the butcher said loudly.
The onlookers...
What kind of logic is that?!
Does not chatting with you mean there's a problem? That won't do!
What if they just don't like to talk and are introverted?
Arresting someone suddenly would be a mistake!
"And every time we talked about how we would bless Chongqing and wipe out the lives of the Northern Hu, he would walk away."
"You tell me, if the people of Da Yu were here, even if they didn't say anything, they would at least nod in agreement!" the butcher continued.
Everyone thought, "This... seems to make some sense!"
Just like them, whenever they hear people discussing something important in Chongqing, they'll definitely stop and listen in...
If what they say pleases them, they immediately clap to show their agreement.
If something doesn't suit your taste, then you'll roll up your sleeves and personally engage in a debate.
Anyway, no matter what, they won't just walk away without saying or doing anything.
Therefore, this person is still somewhat suspicious.
"What if they're just busy at home, have something to do, or just want to hurry up and sell vegetables?" some people still raised concerns.
After all, the identity of the undercover agent was too astonishing, and no one could believe that someone close to them could be an undercover agent.
If someone is wrongly accused of being a spy, wouldn't that drag out their ancestors for eight generations and let everyone curse them?
The butcher slammed his boning knife onto the cutting board with a thud.
He wiped his hands on his apron first, and then put his hands on his hips.
“I reported him for more than just that.”
I spent the whole night thinking about it at home, and the more I thought about it, the more something felt off.
He sells vegetables, but he likes to eat mutton, especially the kind that has been boiled in water.
We all know that God has eyes, right?
They hold gods and Buddhas in high esteem.
But that guy had absolutely no respect for anyone.
I saw it with my own eyes last time when the masters from Bao'en Temple came out to worship Buddha and distributed some copied scriptures to everyone.
Whether people believe it or not, they will all proceed with great respect.
That guy, on the surface, accepted it, but then he turned around and crumpled up the scriptures the master had given him and threw them into the fire pit.
"Do you think the people of Da Yu would do something like this?" the butcher asked loudly.
Everyone was stunned.
What? That guy actually dared to crumple up the scriptures the master gave him and throw them into the fire pit?
Shouldn't it be taken home and placed in front of the Buddhist altar?
Almost all the people believed that the guy was up to no good.
The butcher snorted, then said, "Whether or not it was someone from the yamen who interrogated them has already been determined."
Otherwise, why would they have given me a reward of ten taels of silver!
After saying that, the butcher placed another silver ingot on the table where the meat was kept.
"However, I reported that person not for the money."
It's because I'm from Chongqing, and I have to think about the safety of Chongqing.
Seeing that the Northern Hu wanted to attack our Great Yu again, even though I couldn't go to the battlefield, I wanted to do something I could.
In that case, I'll give away the meat on this cutting board for free today.
Everyone line up, one piece each, let's cut some to take home and make dumplings!
Upon hearing this, everyone first glanced at the silver on the table, then at the fresh pork that had just been slaughtered that morning...
Soon, a long line formed...
It wasn't until evening that the Ministry of Justice posted a notice.
It turns out that the person the butcher reported was actually a spy for Bei Hu.
He infiltrated Dayu ten years ago with the original intention of finding out about the family of Duke Dingguo, Shen Huaichen, and then setting fire to the Shen residence.
I never found an opportunity after that.
However, after being severely tortured, this guy also said that they had received another mission.
That means that as long as Dayu and Beihu start fighting, they should find a suitable opportunity to kill people.
If you can't kill, then set fires...
The announcement shocked the people of the capital!
Good heavens! They've been dancing with wolves all day long...
Instantly, everyone looked at their neighbors with wary eyes.
Suddenly, everyone was wondering if their neighbors had exhibited any unusual behavior...
Another night passed, and when the rooster crowed three times, the soldiers of the Five Cities Garrison suddenly arrested another person.
This time, it was a worker who runs a bathhouse who reported it.
"There's a grocery store owner with a wolf's head tattoo on his shoulder..."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the Military Command jumped up immediately.
Who from a respectable family has tattoos...?
I had long heard that the Northern Hu people worshipped a so-called wolf god, and many of them had various tattoos on their bodies...
The officers from the Military Command arrested the man and took him back for questioning...
Sure enough, it was Bei Hu's spy who infiltrated Da Yu five years ago.
Furthermore, this guy is also the leader of a squad, and he has several people under his command!
Following the clues, the officers of the Military Command took down the entire organization in one fell swoop.
As soon as the news spread, the people of the capital immediately took action.
Protect Chongqing, catch the spies, and the whole family will be safe.
For a time, a real-life game of catching spies swept across Chongqing...
