“How could 1 not know? The Prime Minister must have spies in Mo City. Nothing could be hidden from him.”
Cheng Yu shook his head. He couldn’t believe that Su Qing had any good ideas.
“Then use this spy.”
Su Qing smiled. If she could use Liu Hong to lure Ye Changheng out, she could use Prime Minister Wan’s spies to achieve her goal.
Seeing the confidence in Su Qing’s eyes, Cheng Yu felt convinced. He asked Su Qing,
“You already know who the spy is?”
“I don’t know for now.”
Su Qing shook her head. When Cheng Yu heard her say she didn’t know, the hope in his eyes disappeared.
“If you don’t know who the spy is, how can you use him?”
“That’s easy. Let’s do a good job. Who did Chief Zhu come into contact with after entering the city? Including who he had talked to and met face to face with. Find them and interrogate them one by one.”
“Good idea. An informant can’t send a secret letter to Minister Wan in such detail. Just now, Chief Zhu knew it was a great killing weapon we made. He must have met the informant after entering the city.”
Cheng Yu was enlightened and said excitedly to Su Qing. He admired this little girl more and more. Whether it was her brain power or martial arts, Su Qing was a phoenix among men, comparable to General Xiao Heng.
It was true that every generation had its talented people. Young Master was blessed to have met such an outstanding woman like Su Qing!
Su Qing’s eyes flashed with wisdom as she looked at the scattered corpses in the courtyard and whispered to Cheng Yu,
“Uncle Cheng, there’s one more thing…”
“Good, good, this idea is too fast.”
Cheng Yu slammed the table excitedly, but his wound hurt so much that he sucked in a breath of cold air.
Su Qing glanced at him. Although his voice was still cold, it was filled with concern.
“Have a good rest. I’ll do the job of finding spies.”
“Alright, thank you for your trouble, Miss Su.”
Cheng Yu was now entirely convinced by Su Qing. He subconsciously respected her words, just like how he had treated General Xiao Heng in the past, without any doubts.
“Miss Su, why don’t you return to the government office?”
Cheng Yu thought of the low mud house that Su Qing and the others lived in and felt that Miss Su should not live in such a shabby place.
“There’s no need. The imperial court might send more people soon. It’s troublesome to move around.”
Su Qing refused. She didn’t want to trouble them. Mo City will be getting more people over soon. What she needed to do was to make sure that these people would never return. Slowly, no one would dare to come to Mo City again.
She was as territorial as lions and tigers. Since she had decided to station herself in Mo City, she would treat Mo City as her territory. She would not allow anyone, not even the emperor, to covet her territory.
Su Qing then detailedly told Cheng Yu how to deal with the corpse and the time and left without saying anything else.
Cheng Yu was also used to Su Qing’s indifference. He watched Su Qing leave with admiration.
After calming down, he remembered the injuries on his body. Why did his wound not hurt at all? In the past, when they fought on the battlefield, they did not feel pain when they were injured. It would hurt so much when they calmed down that they could not sleep at night. It seemed that Miss Su’s medicine was divine medicine.
Su Qing walked out of the government office and was not in a hurry to go home. She stood at the entrance of the government office and swept her beautiful eyes across the people passing by on the street. Since Su Qing and the others had repelled the two invasions of the Tartan soldiers, the people of Mo City were no longer so afraid.
During the day, there were more people on the streets. Those who should do business did business, those who should work did work, and even those who wanted to leave had given up on going. Who would be willing to live and work in their homeland?
There were also people walking back and forth at the entrance of the government office. Su Qing was observing these people. Since they were spies, they naturally had to keep an eye on the situation in the government office.
Then there must be spies from the imperial court among these people who appeared at the entrance of the government office, and there must be more than one of them.
“Miss Su.”
The leader who welcomed Su Qing into the city greeted her when he saw Su Qing coming out of the government office. Although Su Qing was always cold, everyone had seen her contributions to Mo City. Su Qing was so powerful that the guards of Mo City worshipped her and treated her with respect.
“Were you at the door just now?”
Su Qing looked at the people on the street and asked the leader.
The leader shook his head.
“Not all the time. I went in to fight just now.”
“Did you bring Chief Zhu to the government office?”
Su Qing asked again. She wanted to find out who Chief Zhu was in contact with from the city gate to the government office.
“Yes, I brought him here.”
“Did he come into contact with anyone? Or did his men come into contact with someone?”
“I didn’t see who he interacted with. When a few beggars asked him for money, Chief Zhu stopped to ask about the situation and ordered someone to give them money.”
The leader tried hard to recall. Although he didn’t know why Su Qing asked this, he took it seriously. However, after thinking for a long time, he couldn’t think of anything useful.
“How long have they been in contact?”
Su Qing took it seriously. A few beggars were squatting opposite the government office. When they saw people coming out of the government office, they stood up as if they were going to beg for food.
Since entering Mo City, this was the first time she had seen so many beggars outside the government office. Usually, she would only see one or two…
Su Qing suddenly remembered that she had seen beggars the last time she used the big killing weapon. At that time, she did not pay attention to them. Now that she thought about it, beggars usually squatted in front of restaurants and brothels, waiting for rich people to ask for money.
Few people went to the yamen to ask for money. The yamen runners would not give them money, and they might even beat them away.
It was already troublesome to file a lawsuit. Even those who came to file a lawsuit would not be kind. If they came up to ask for it, they might be beaten up to vent their anger.
Since the government office was not a good place to beg for food, the beggar who usually squatted opposite the government office was likely to be a spy.
Su Qing’s sharp gaze swept across the beggars. Two hid behind the beggars, not daring to look at her.
“Arrest them all.”
Su Qing pointed at the beggars and ordered the leader.
Although he didn’t know why Su Qing wanted to capture the beggar, the leader obeyed his orders and went to catch them.
The two beggars Su Qing suspected, turned around and ran when they saw that the situation was not good.
“Catch them.”
Su Qing pointed at the two fleeing beggars. Immediately, soldiers chased after them and pressed them to the ground.
“Sir, please spare my life. I am a good citizen and only want to ask for a meal.”
The two of them were pressed to the ground, screaming.
The other beggars also begged for mercy, but Su Qing ignored them.
“Beggars will affect the image of Mo City.”
After Su Qing finished speaking, the soldiers looked at her in confusion. How could she arrest people because it affected their image?
The Xiao Family’s Army was supposed to protect the commoners, so they couldn’t bear to bully them.
Just as they were in a dilemma, Cheng Yu walked out of the government office and gave an authoritative order,
“Do as Miss Su says.”
Since the lieutenant had spoken, even though the soldiers did not understand, they still followed the order and arrested the beggar.
Cheng Yu lowered his voice and asked Su Qing,”
“Miss Su, do you think your spies are among these people?”
