Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1596 Where did the spy go?

Fang Jun heaved a sigh of relief after sending the young man infected with malaria away.

Without artemisinin, without cinchona cream, getting malaria these days is basically death, and he doesn't want his reborn life to be ruined by this...

He Zongxian stepped forward and asked, "Marshal, how do we deal with these people?"

How to deal with it?

Fang Jun was a little worried.

It stands to reason that the best way to deal with these thugs who want to kill themselves is to arrest them and send them to Dali Temple as evidence that Qiu Xinggong intends to murder him.

But Fang Jun knew that it was impossible for these people to confess to Qiu Xinggong unanimously. There would always be a few who were not afraid of death and would rather die than betray Qiu Xinggong. For a general with a heavy hand in the army, unless Qiu Xinggong was arrested at the scene of the crime, it would be extremely difficult to convict him.

This is the reality of today's society. In the final analysis, this is still a "rule by man" world.

Jurisprudence is nothing more than human feelings. Even if the lawsuit comes before the emperor, the emperor will sympathize with Qiu Xinggong and give him pity and understanding. After all, his son died so tragically. It is understandable to want to avenge his son. The most important thing is Fang Jun, isn't there nothing wrong with you?
Anyway, it didn't lead to consequences, so it's fine if you don't make an example...

The same feudal ruling class has such privileges, if Fang Jun and Qiu Xinggong change places, the ending will be the same.

But if these people are killed like this, it will be very troublesome.

After all, these people have been captured now, whether they are criminals or prisoners, in short, they can no longer be killed without authorization, otherwise those old guys in the court who are full of benevolence and morality will definitely not spare Fang Jun. This is not the most embarrassing thing for Fang Jun The most embarrassing thing for him is that even his old lady Fang Xuanling will severely reprimand him for such actions...

His expression of hesitation repeatedly was seen by these captured soldiers. After all, life and death are in the hands of Fang Jun. Every change in his expression may represent the final outcome of these soldiers. How can we not worry about gains and losses? ?
They can obey orders and act bravely without fear of death, but when they can live, no one wants to die.

The soldier interrogated by Fang Jun swallowed hard. After the resolute desire to die in his heart was easily defeated by Fang Jun with his family and children, the desire to survive surged uncontrollably. At this moment, he looked around , said in a low voice: "My son-in-law, I have a secret I want to report, I just hope that you will spare my life..."

Fang Jun frowned, and asked, "What's the secret that allows me to spare you, an enemy who intends to kill me?"

The soldier hurriedly said: "It's a few spies, real spies, and they have a close relationship with our commander..."

Before the soldier finished speaking, several of the captured soldiers next to him shouted to stop.

"To shut up!"

"Niu Lao San, are you crazy?"

"It's just a death, with a big scar on your head. If you dare to say it, I will never let you go!"

The soldier was downcast and didn't speak, but looked at Fang Jun pleadingly.

interesting……

Qiu Xinggong has something to do with the enemy's spies?
Does this guy still want to collude with the enemy and treason?

Fang Jun waved his hand and ordered He Zongxian: "Behead the person who spoke just now, so as to make a warning to others!"

"Here!"

He Zongxian had long hated these thugs because of the heavy casualties under his command. At this moment, he was ordered to walk over with a horizontal knife in his hand, without any hesitation. The howling spread far away in the silent night, He Zongxian looked ferocious, raised the knife in his hand and dropped it, human heads rolled to the ground one by one, blood spattered.

Fang Jungu felt chills in his heart, chopping off his head was like cutting a melon, this is a ruthless person!
Not only is he ruthless, but his sword skills are also good. It is easy to cut people down, but it is not easy to cut off the head...

All the "diehards" were killed, and the rest remained silent and answered every question.

"Fang Consort, I also know about that spy!"

"And me, I know it too! I watched them discuss things with the commander in person!"

"What's the deal with discussing things? I even saw with my own eyes the disciples of the Wang family coming to meet the spy!"

"It seems to have some relationship with the eldest grandson's family. I heard..."

The soldier who wanted to "anyway" almost exploded his lungs, I finally found a chance to survive, why are you all here to grab it?

The soldier was so anxious that he shouted: "Those spies are hiding in the ten-mile slope at the foot of the mountain. If you go and arrest them now, you will definitely catch them!"

In order to fight for a chance of survival, this group of fierce soldiers completely lost their usual bravery and scrambled to pour out what they knew.

In order to prevent the leakage of secrets, many of Qiu Xinggong's orders were handled directly by these thugs, but they didn't want to bury hidden dangers instead...

Fang Jun's eyes were bright, and he waved his hand: "Xue Rengui took this person, and immediately went to the ten mile slope at the foot of the mountain to capture the spies. Remember, catch alive!"

Xue Rengui responded loudly: "Here!"

The soldier jumped up from the ground, regardless of the blood dripping from the knife wound on his left leg, he followed Xue Rengui closely and ran forward. Xue Rengui thought he was running slowly, so he took his arm with one hand and ran all the way. After a few ups and downs, ten people disappeared into the depths of the woods.

"Gather your troops and head to Shilipo!"

Fang Jun issued orders, and the troops slowly assembled, leaving some people to gather the battlefield and transport the wounded and dead soldiers back to the barracks. Then hundreds of troops crossed the woods and walked up the hill, and then crossed over to Shilipo by the river. .

More than a dozen simple houses scattered scattered on the slopes of Shanyang, silent, like ghosts.

The movement of hundreds of people marching was not small, except for the barking of dogs, there was no sound of human beings...

When Fang Jun arrived, Xue Rengui greeted him with a serious face, and told him: "There is no one in the house, and everything is cleaned up, obviously it is not a hasty evacuation, it should have been moved for some reason before that. In addition, this village cannot stay for a long time, and it should be sealed off immediately, and people from this village are not allowed to go out, and people from outside are not allowed to come in."

Fang Jun was startled, and asked, "You mean..."

Xue Rengui nodded and sighed, "It's malaria. Most of the people in the village have died, and many people who are still alive have been infected. They won't be alive for a few days."

Fang Jun suddenly realized, no wonder the whole village is so quiet, because the villagers are either dead or waiting to die...

This is the horror of the epidemic, which often leads to a collective infection of a village, a town, or even a city, turning it into a dead place.

Someone in the court had already reported that it was malaria, but they never expected it to be so serious, and this place is more than ten miles away from Chang'an, it is very likely that the disease will spread to Chang'an city. A great disaster in the annals of history!

Fang Jun's expression was stern, and he immediately said: "Light the torches, set up roadblocks, and immediately blockade this village, but all the paths of entry and exit are under martial law, and no one is allowed to wait to enter and exit. Anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy!"

In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be used.

This is definitely not the time to pay attention to benevolence and law. Killing people seems barbaric, but once the disease spreads due to this, no one can bear the consequences.

As for whether there are any residents in this village who have not yet been infected, they will be trapped here and be infected, then we can only resign ourselves to fate.

If the people here are released, it would be unfair to everyone...

The soldier who led the way was brought to Fang Jun, sweating profusely in anxiety, and said to himself: "There is no reason, how could it suddenly disappear..."

After all, whether these spies are caught or not is directly related to his existence or not. Now that the spies are gone, why is he not in a hurry?
"How many spies are there in total, and what physical characteristics do they have?"

Fang Jun asked.

The soldier quickly replied: "There were two people before, a man and a woman. The man wore a bamboo hat and never took it off. The woman was covered with a veil so she couldn't see her face, but she was slim and graceful. She must be a beautiful woman. Later, another little lady came, she was very handsome... House Consort, the little girl really didn't lie!"

Fang Jun frowned in thought.

These "spies" are not only related to Qiu Xinggong, but also related to the Wang family, and even the eldest grandson's family...

What are these companies doing?
Why did these "spies" suddenly leave?
Was he aware of the battle that took place on the mountain and left temporarily, or did he go to handle it because the planned matter had reached a critical moment?
If the young man who was tied up and carried away by him like a pig was here, he would naturally be shocked and shout: I am really a spy if I talk about it casually!
