Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 992 Everything is ready
Ah Si saw that everyone's expressions had softened, and he just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Mi Fang say: "This matter must be clarified today."

"Okay, now the four of you identify each other and choose the person you think is the most suspicious."

The four people in Ah Da were stunned. Mi Fang's plan was very vicious. In order to prove their innocence, the four people would definitely search for clues about the other three people, and at the same time, they would try their best to protect themselves.

This caused the four people to completely break up and drove them to a dead end.

The four people were full of doubts. This strategy was very clever. Who came up with it?
Moreover, the four of them are now under suspicion, and they should not be the ones who came up with the idea. So, is there a more trustworthy confidant around Mi Fang?
Although the four people were full of confusion, they still bit the bullet and tried their best to recall the suspicious things about the others.

Someone spoke up at this time, but Ah Si was the first to speak. He said, "I think Ah Da is a traitor!"

"Everyone knows that the relationship between the master and Guan Yu is not good, but when Guan Yu came to Baqiu a few days ago, Ada personally greeted Guan Yu and stayed with Guan Yu for the whole day. What the two said in private was revealed after he came back. Have you told the master?"

"So I think Ada is probably the nail planted by Guan Yu!"

After hearing this, Ah Da became furious and said: "Ah Si, don't spit on others!"

"As the city gate guard and General Guan in charge of Nanjun's defense, I naturally have the responsibility to report the war situation in detail!"

Ah Da felt the doubtful looks cast by Ah Er and Ah San, and couldn't help but yelled angrily, "What a bastard, Ah Si, you are a villain, I will fight you!"

"He is in charge of the refugees. Ah Da's soldiers, your men, and Ah San's caravan buddies are all selected from the refugees. It is easy for Ah Si to arrange his own people."

Ah San said: "I think what Ah Da said is reasonable. If there is a problem in military affairs, it will cause chaos in the city. Then the spies can fish in troubled waters."

"But now after listening to the conversations between several people, I discovered that Ah Si is the most suspicious."

Ah Er thought for a while and said, "I still stick to my idea."

A'er listened without comment, and Mi Fang said: "A'er, you thought all three of them were suspects before, have you changed your mind now?"

Ah Er was happy on the sidelines, "Ah San, that's not what you said to the lord just now. Don't you doubt Ah Da and me?"

After hearing this, Ah Si sneered: "Are you admitting that you have something to hide from the master?"

"And it's related to military affairs. There are some things that are beyond the master's responsibilities. Naturally, I don't need to inform the master!"

"And when he bit Ada just now, he obviously wanted to get rid of the person who threatened him the most. If Ada is arrested, he will be the one who benefits the most!"

Ah Si said angrily: "Fart!"

"The three of them have thousands of people under their command. It's very easy to cause trouble."

In addition to Ah Da knowing Ah Er's testimony, Ah San and Ah Si looked at Ah Er in surprise. Ah Er, who was originally so humble, actually suspected everyone?

Ah Si looked like he knew it, and gloated: "You can only deceive yourself with this sentence. Justice is in the heart of the people. I believe that other people's eyes are bright."

Ah Da shouted angrily: "Ah Si, you are a despicable and shameless person. You will do anything to get the upper hand. I think you are the spy!"

Ah Da blushed, "If I tell you everything in detail, I will be shirking responsibility and dragging the master into trouble!"

"If I die, no one will be able to control you. Are you relying on thousands of refugees under your command to do whatever you want?"

"And I only have a dozen people under my command, so I can't do anything I want to do."

"Second brother, you have all the information. It's easiest to collaborate with the enemy. I think you are the spy!"

Ah San said calmly: "The previous suspicions were just guesses based on my daily feelings. They cannot be accurate."

He stepped forward, raised his fists, and was about to charge towards Ah Si. Four soldiers behind him hurriedly swarmed up and locked his hands and feet, causing Ah Da to struggle desperately and roar. Ah Si was so frightened that he took a few steps back and said, Youzi shouted: "Look, everyone, he's showing off his flaws!"

Ah Er sneered: "Why, you were suspicious of Ah Da and Ah San before, and now you're biting me again?"

"I see you are jumping up and down. You are the one who feels guilty, right?"

Ah Si turned to Ah San angrily, "Third brother, as the shopkeeper, you naturally know that Ah Da and Ah Er are the most powerful, right?"

"If the enemy wants to bribe us, he will definitely not come to us first, but to someone more important!"

"And by identifying everyone, only those who want to clear themselves out are the most suspect!"

Mr. Ah couldn't help it anymore and shouted: "Ah Si, stop being so pretentious. According to this, I am the most innocent one since I didn't testify against others?"

"And Ah Er seems to be suspicious of everyone, but he is actually thinking about the Lord. On the contrary, it is you who have been secretly suppressing dissidents and secretly framed everyone!"

"I think you are the most suspect!"

"I am willing to hand over all my military power as a guarantee to identify you as the spy!"

Ah Si was about to retort when he heard Ah Er and Ah San say at the same time: "I agree."

After hearing this, Ah Si panicked and said: "You are seeing that I have many people in charge, and you want to take the opportunity to seize my power!"

He quickly turned to Mi Fang, "Master, they have joined forces to frame me. They must have colluded before. Master must not be fooled!"

Ah Da roared angrily, "You are bewitched by evil words!" "Stop struggling. If you admit it now, the punishment may be lighter. If the truth comes out by then, if you want to deny it again, it will be too late!"

Ah Siqiang defended himself: "What are you admitting? I am innocent."

Mi Fang interrupted him and said, "Since the three of you have identified you, what do you have to say, Si?"

Ah Si felt aggrieved after hearing this. Mi Fang sneered and said, "It's actually very simple. You stay here and I will send people to search your home. If no evidence is found, it will naturally prove your innocence."

After hearing this, Ah Si's face turned pale and his body was shaky. When everyone saw it, they knew something in their minds. It seemed that Ah Si was definitely a spy!

Mi Fang immediately sent people to search Ah Si's home. Two hours later, the guard came back and reported that he had found a secret compartment in Ah Si's home and found several suspicious letters.

After hearing this, Ah Si, who was kneeling in the hall, screamed, "I have never heard of such a letter. There must be a spy hiding to frame me. Please believe me, my lord!"

Mi Fang looked at the letter presented and sneered: "Why, if you don't know the content of the letter, why are you still complaining?"

"Come here, pull him down and chop him!"

Ah Si knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "Master, it doesn't matter whether the villain dies, but the villain must die clearly!"

"What did the villain do wrong?"

"And if the villain is a collaborator, how can he still keep the letter? It is normal to destroy it long ago!"

Mi Fang shook the letter and sneered: "Ah Si, don't deny it. This letter does seem to be fine, but it is actually written in code!"

"But I got the method to decipher the code word in advance, which proves that you have already collaborated with the enemy!"

After hearing this, Ah Da and the three of them all looked at Ah Si. Seeing Mi Fang's appearance, Ah Si stopped pretending. He stood up slowly and said, "I don't think this can be regarded as collaboration with the enemy."

"Since the master knows the password, he naturally knows who is behind me."

"Master can kill me now, I have a clear conscience."

Ada couldn't help but ask: "Who is behind you?"

Ah Er and Ah San had guessed, and their expressions turned ugly for a moment. They all bowed to Mi Fang: "Master, if this is really the case, that person is not easy to mess with. We can just imprison Ah Si for the time being and find someone to take over the refugees under him. "

Ah Da was still confused. He looked at Mi Fang and found that she also had a tangled look on her face. He immediately understood that the inside story of this matter must be extremely complicated.

Mi Fang is extremely confused now.

Although he found the spy, as Ah Si said, he really couldn't do anything to Ah Si now, because if he killed Ah Si and angered the people behind him, his sister might be implicated.

That's right, behind Ah Si is Yuan Xi.

And Mi Fang was sure that if he took refuge in Jiangdong, Yuan Xi, who was hostile to Jiangdong, would definitely stop it, so he had to get out Yuan Xi's eyes to prevent him from ruining his affairs.

But Mi Zhen is already married to Yuan Xi. If Mi Fang breaks up with Yuan Xi, Mi Zhen is likely to be implicated.

The reason why he didn't surrender to Yuan Xi was for the same reason. Mi Fang committed a crime and had a falling out with Guan Yu. What if he fled to Yuan Xi to seek refuge and Guan Yu came to ask for him under the banner of Liu Bei?
When the time comes, will Yuan Xi favor Liu Bei or himself?
Although he is Mi Zhen's brother, Liu Bei is Mi Zhen's adoptive father. In terms of filial piety, he has lost a level!
So Mi Fang was desperate. He had only one option, which was to go to Jiangdong.

He only met Jiangdong, so he didn't plan to lead any troops, so as not to be sent to attack Yuan Xi. Then he could just be a wealthy idler. Anyway, it wasn't unusual for a big family to have children from several factions. .

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and ordered people to take Ah Si down and imprison him. Then he turned to the three of them and said, "Now that the spy has been found, we can move on to the next step."

"I will surrender to Jiangdong from Kaicheng. Someone from Jiangdong will come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Be prepared."

Ada was surprised when he heard this, "What?"

"Surrender to Kodong?"

He quickly spoke out: "Mr. Xuande treats his master well, why is he doing this?"

Mi Fang looked ugly and said, "If you had said such things just now, I would definitely suspect that you are a spy."

Turning to Ah Er and Ah San, Ah Er and Asan understood and told what happened to Mi Fang. Ah Da fell silent after hearing this.

Finally Ah Er said: "Ah Da, you are indeed loyal, but if the master is not so, his life will be in danger. This is also the time for you to repay your kindness."

"The master has been kind to you, do you want to oppose the master at this time?"

Ah Da said dullly: "I don't dare, I just obey my master's orders."

Mi Fang saw in his eyes that Ah Da's performance made him more sure that Ah Da was not suspicious, otherwise he would not still have a conflicted look at this time.

The letter was indeed correct. Ah Da was the most suspicious, so Mi Fang asked Ah Da first to question him. Moreover, the trick of identifying each other in the letter was indeed clever. She successfully found Yuan Xi's spy. In this way, Mi Fang settled the matter of offering the city. , now there is no obstacle!
The only thing to do now is to be prepared, wait for the people from Jiangdong to surrender the city, and then you can take refuge in Jiangdong!
On the river, more than a dozen warships took advantage of the night to brave the wind and waves and move forward rapidly.

These ships followed the Jiangdong fleet from Xiakou and pretended to attack Lukou in the dark. Then, taking advantage of the chaos, they quickly headed west along the river, aiming for Baqiu, which was more than a hundred miles away.

And standing at the bow of the boat was Lu Meng, fluttering in white clothes and with a determined look on his face!
