Half an hour later, a carriage quickly arrived at the entrance of the military port. Yinzhen and Qingyan got off the carriage in the courtyard of the second gate. In the room on the left, the captured fishermen were being held.
"Eru, bring all those people over here yourself!" Yinzhen rubbed his temples and gave the order helplessly.
On the stone steps at the main entrance, there were two carved mahogany armchairs. She sat down, her long, slender hands holding the armrests.
They looked down at the people who were being led out, their brows furrowed and their faces filled with terror.
Yinzhen discovered that the outsiders were quite adept at disguise, blending in with the local fishermen and making them impossible to identify.
"Bayan, you go and investigate personally. Every single person who has been arrested must be thoroughly investigated!" Yinzhen coldly instructed.
Qingyan took a sip of tea, warming herself up.
There were at least thirty people on the ground, watching in horror as Bayan and the others began their inspection.
If any problems were found, they were all expelled to the other side.
Half an hour later, Bayan had distinguished everyone. Only ten people had tribal badges on their hands, while the rest were basically without tattoos.
When Qingyan heard this result, he was completely stunned. There were actually more than twenty outsiders.
"Sisi, don't you think there are too many people like you? The residents of the fishing village are definitely not easy to deal with, and there might even be spies mixed in." Qingyan had a headache; they needed to investigate one by one.
Previously, they had all misjudged the situation; none of those pastors were easy to deal with, and they might even have been instigating some people behind the scenes.
As soon as he finished speaking, Erlu crippled the hands of the two fishermen. Qingyan witnessed this and was very curious. This...
"Master, these two should be ninjas." Erlu quickly stepped forward to explain.
What? !
Qingyan stood up, took a few quick steps, and came to the two seemingly honest fishermen. Erlu raised their hands and she carefully examined them.
The guards quickly surrounded them, with Yinzhen following closely behind. He was somewhat displeased, as her actions were a bit too dangerous.
"Sulan, bring the golden needles over!" Qingyan squinted and noticed that there was something wrong with the skin on the inside of their arms. Ninjas always had ninja swords on their arms, ready to strike at any time.
Su Lan quickly went to the inner chamber and prepared everything Qing Yan needed.
"Little darling, this is dangerous!" Yinzhen looked around warily, while Bayan immediately crippled the other three.
At this moment, Yinzhen felt a chill run down his spine at the thought that among the outsiders, there were actually five ninjas.
Their ambitions are great enough that they actually sent ninjas, which is clearly a slap in the face to Kangxi.
"The fact that the Princess Consort in the naval port has so many spies from that side must mean she has ulterior motives. Keep a close eye on them and see if there are any others!" Yinzhen believed that the people among them would bring them many surprises.
"Master, the golden needles have been brought over!" Su Lan had sent them directly from the inner courtyard, hoping not to delay things.
Qingyan opened the gold needle pouch, took out a thin gold needle, and probed it a few times on the seemingly uneven skin. The entire piece of skin was peeled off, and sure enough, there was a sharp ninja knife underneath.
Instantly, the surrounding air pressure condensed, and even Yinzhen himself realized that there was a serious problem.
"Su Peisheng, go to the fishing village yourself and tell Second Uncle to have his personal guards surround the village. Also, invite everyone here!" Yinzhen believed that an elder needed to manage things, and this...
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Su Peisheng understood that Yinzhen was no longer able to handle this matter.
Qingyan gasped twice. Beneath her two thin layers of skin, four ninja swords were hidden, and behind her ear was a blade as thin as silkworm paper.
She narrowed her eyes. These were all things that ninjas always carried. Qingyan gave Erlu a look, signaling him to find the poison in the ninja's mouth.
When Erlu discovered that this person was a ninja, the first thing he did was to stop him from committing suicide.
Later, Fei Yanggu and his two sons rushed in. Prince Yu, having heard Su Peisheng's account, prepared to personally oversee the investigation with Yinti and verify the identities of the villagers one by one.
They dispatched the father and his two sons back to assist Yinzhen and his wife in their investigation.
"Father, you've arrived?" Qingyan felt a little calmer. Fei Yanggu and his two sons looked at the tray in Su Lan's hands and felt really bad.
"This was... found on this person?" Seto looked at the ninja swords and felt a chill run down his spine. They had been in contact with these people before, and they turned out to be Japanese ninjas.
"Yes, and there's also a poison." Qingyan pointed to a purple pill on the tray; this was the most crucial one.
Fei Yanggu frowned. The things she found were definitely not something a low-level ninja could possess.
This person must be of high status; their position in the ninja world must be quite prestigious.
"Little darling, carefully check the remaining four!" Both Saito and Eshuo had fought against ninjas before, so they knew these people's abilities better than anyone else.
Qingyan nodded and walked directly to the other four people, quickly unloading all those things.
Half an hour later, Qingyan was covered in sweat. The last ninja had actually hidden as many as eighteen ninja swords on his body. This was definitely the highest ranking.
At this moment, Qingyan was extremely clear-headed. They had found a way to distinguish them. Otherwise, they would just go shopping with you and deal with these blades. If they fought with them, they would definitely suffer a lot of injuries.
"Little darling, so much?" Fei Yanggu followed Qingyan, his body covered in cold sweat as he looked at the ninja swords and poisons that kept appearing on the tray.
"Hmm." Qingyan's hands were a little cold; she rarely touched these things.
They had encountered ninjas before, and Qingyan had disassembled ninja swords, but never in this many quantities.
Yinzhen patted Qingyan on the back to calm her down. These ninjas were there for interrogation, and if Xiaoguai got too excited, she might fall into their trap.
"Fortunately, His Majesty made thorough preparations, using lime to build the entire foundation, which will prevent those people from finding any loopholes. Otherwise, these ninjas would definitely have escaped," Fei Yanggu sneered.
On the surface, the ground appears to be the same as anywhere else, but in reality, it has been specially designed.
The ninjas were stunned. They had specifically tested it and confirmed that it was possible to burrow underground from the fishing village.
"Father, when did you change it?" Qingyan was stunned. It must have been after they arrived.
"There are also spies from North Korea!" Erlu discovered another one, and there were some things in the man's pocket.
Wow!
Qingyan walked over and smelled it; it turned out to be barley tea, something that not many people in the Qing Dynasty liked to drink, except for the Korean envoys.
"Take them all and wait for Prince Yu to return before making a decision!" Fei Yanggu said, rubbing his temples.
