Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Whoa!

As a bucket of ice water slowly fell down, the bound man began to struggle violently, and was immediately pinned down by several soldiers, making him unable to move.

However, the icy water soaked through his clothes, and the pain before he blocked his mouth and nose made him moan in pain.

His cry was not loud, but was covered by the sound of pouring water after a while.

After a while, the bucket of water was poured out like this, and the man stopped struggling and lay on the ground as if dead.

"Take off his clothes!" Chen Yang said.

Just as a soldier took off his clothes, the man spit out a mouthful of water and was out of breath.

He slowly opened his eyes, his scattered gaze concentrated, and then a horrified expression appeared on his face, as if he saw death in front of him just now.

Seeing this, the other two felt a little flustered, as one could imagine how terrible this punishment was.

"Tell me, where did you come from?" Chen Yang asked again.

The man coughed painfully, finally spit out all the water in his stomach, and finally said nothing.

"killed!"

Chen Yang didn't want to waste any more time on him.

Ye Shun immediately drew his knife and cut the man's throat with one knife.

"Bring him up, go on!"

Chen Yang pointed to another person.

A frightened look appeared on the man's face, but he remained silent.

Ye Shun asked people to cook it in the same way as before, and when the bucket of ice water was completely poured down, the soldier uncovered his clothes and found that the man could no longer move.

"My lord, he is dead!" said the soldier.

The dead man's chest cavity was protruding due to the accumulation of water, his eyes were wide open, his pupils were dilated, and his facial skin was pale, which was not much different from the characteristics of drowning.

Under such circumstances, even Ye Shun and the others felt terrified of being drowned in the water like this, thinking that the lord's tricks are endless!

"Go and bring another bucket of ice water, continue!" Chen Yang said indifferently without any superfluous expression on his face.

Seeing such a cruel scene, the third person trembled all over, he finally couldn't help it, kowtowed and said: "I said, I will say anything, please give me a happy time."

Chen Yang waved his hand to make the soldiers stop, and he asked, "Where did you come from?"

"Jizhou!"

He pointed to the man whose throat was cut with a knife just now, and said again: "He is also from Jizhou, as for the other man... I don't know where he is, because I don't know him!"

"Jizhou!"

Chen Yang pondered for a while, and said again: "Kill it!"

As soon as the words fell, the third person's throat was also cut with a knife, and he fell into a pool of blood.

For the two people from Jizhou, Chen Yang was basically sure who sent them.

As for the other person, Chen Yang couldn't figure it out for the time being, this one is worth looking into, he could have been killed just now.

The enemy sent spies to loiter around the factory, and their purpose in doing so was obvious, either weapons or salt.

If these two things can flow into Jizhou, it will be beneficial to Yuan Shao.

So, who is the person on the other side?

Soon, Chen Yang narrowed his eyes when he thought of the two thousand refugees he brought back recently. There should be spies among the refugees.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang's eyes became cold.

How dare these people covet their own factory, damn it!

Thinking of this, Chen Yang said again: "Ye Shun, tell Cao Lan for me to let the shadow temporarily pretend to be the three people who were killed to wander around, and try to get in touch with the people behind it. If you find anyone else, give me I killed it and continued to impersonate."

"Yes!" Ye Shun nodded.

Chen Yang ignored the corpses and turned back to the factory.

As soon as he approached the gate, he suddenly saw Mi Zhen's figure appearing in front of him, and she hurried inside.

"Miss Mi, did you also see those things just now?" Chen Yang asked.

Mi Zhen's movements paused, she turned her head and knelt down and said, "General, Zhen'er is just curious, please forgive me, General!"

She recalled the scene just now, the cruel punishment, and Chen Yang's decisiveness, and she felt lingering fear in her heart.

Chen Yang's impression in Mi Zhen's heart can be said to be a bit gentle, but just now it completely overturned her inner thoughts.

"Miss Mi, get up, even if you see it, it's okay." Chen Yang said.

After confirming that Chen Yang didn't mean to punish herself, she felt relieved, but she mustered up the courage to ask: "Who are they...?"

"The enemy wants to spy on our technology."

Chen Yang didn't hide this matter from her, and said directly: "Miss Mi, you have to be careful, among the refugees brought back recently, there may be people with bad intentions!"

Mizhen Emei glanced lightly, she thought for a while, as if remembering something, said: "General, last night, there were three new refugees who approached the salt factory!"

Hearing this, Chen Yang frowned, unexpectedly those people could no longer hold back, and said, "Miss Mi, do you still remember who they are?"

"Remember!"

Mi Zhen nodded, she mustered up her courage again, and said: "But... Zhen'er has a way to find out the spies who sneaked in. Does the general want to hear it?"

"Say it!"

Chen Yang certainly has a way to find out, but he also wants to know Mi Zhen's opinion.

"Refugees are basically poor people. They are hungry and full, so they are weak and thin. If they are spies, on the contrary, they must be in good health, so they are easy to identify." Mi Zhen said.

"If those spies are well disguised, and they may even be bribed refugees, how can we find out?" Chen Yang asked.

Just looking at Mizhen thought for a moment, said: "If this is the case, it may be very troublesome, but it is not impossible, we can use time to find some people."

Chen Yang looked at her appreciatively, and asked again: "How do you use your time?"

Mi Zhen said: "Those spies sneaked into the factory for nothing more than two purposes, salt and weapon manufacturing technology."

Although she came to the factory not long ago, she also knew that the focus of the factory is these two, and said: "They will definitely find ways to obtain the technology of making salt, or the process of manufacturing weapons, as long as they dare to do so, no matter how perfect they are. , will reveal flaws. Even, we can take the initiative to lure those spies out."

"How to elicit?" Chen Yang asked curiously.

"Take the initiative to put the technology of salt making and weapons in a place they can touch, so that they must want to get it, and they will expose themselves."

Mizhen continued to express her own opinion, and continued: "However, these technologies can be fake. In this way, while the spies are exposed, they can also send the fake technologies to the enemy. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"

Speaking of this, Mi Zhen paused for a while, and then said: "I don't know what Zhen'er said, but does it make sense?"

She was a little worried, afraid that if she spoke badly, Chen Yang would look down on her.

Then, she raised her head slightly, and suddenly found that Chen Yang was looking directly at her. She felt a little flustered for a moment, and a blush appeared on her face.

"General!" Mi Zhen said again.

Chen Yang came back to his senses, first smiled awkwardly, and said: "Miss Mi, if you are a man, I will definitely recommend you to the prime minister as a counselor!"

"Thank you, General, for your compliment!" Mi Zhen was overjoyed, thinking that her plan would still be approved by Chen Yang.

However, Chen Yang asked her again: "Miss Mi, you should know my shadow, right? If I manage a team of shadows for you, how will you develop it so that you can cover as many people as possible in the shortest possible time? Xu Du?"

Mizhen knew what the shadow was, but she didn't expect Chen Yang to ask herself this question, and she looked at Chen Yang in astonishment.

For a while, she couldn't figure out what Chen Yang meant by doing this.
