In order to prevent the Jiuguang Kingdom from attacking the Daqian Kingdom, the emperor immediately sent a letter to the general Fei Ge in each major military camp to strengthen training and improve the strength of the soldiers, and sent additional soldiers to guard the borders.

While the border soldiers were training intensely, the lively atmosphere in the five cities remained. All the martial arts people did not leave. They were all waiting to see the new leader and spar with him.

The emperor rested in the house for five days before his swollen face subsided, but there were still bruises on his face. Fortunately, Dr. Miao's medicine was very effective, and he was diligent in doing exercises every day to regulate his body. . On the tenth day, his face finally recovered and he was able to go outside to bask in the sun.

The ministers all offered auspicious words, but only Kan Chaoyan brought the news: "Your Majesty, we have interrogated the identities of the spies who participated in the Wu Zun Competition. They are the Jiuguang Kingdom, the Nine Moon Kingdom, the Nine Ao Kingdom, the Nine Saint Kingdom, and the Nine Territory Kingdom. Each of the spies sent had the strength of a martial artist. They participated in the competition in order to gain the position of alliance leader and the support of the martial arts people, and then encourage everyone to rebel together. But the most terrifying thing is that they had sneaked into the Daqian Kingdom seven years ago to work as spies. "

"Seven years ago?" The emperor was shocked. He actually sneaked in as a spy before he unified the five countries: "Is this what the spy said himself?"

"Yes, we used hallucinogenic powder on them to make them hallucinate and then forced them to tell the truth." Kan Chaoyan frowned slightly: "Of course, the hallucinogenic powder may not have a real effect on Wu Zun. It may be mixed with it. Some lies, but Wei Chen believes that 70% of their words are true. "

"Then their status in Daqian Country is..."

"They are all gang leaders, and the governor has brought people to seize their helms. I believe there will be good news back in an hour."

The emperor was really worried: "Can you ask if they have any accomplices? For example, is it possible for one of them to serve in the court?"

Kan Chaoyan shook his head: "We asked about this, and they all said that they received the spy mission through letters. Even if there are accomplices who sneaked into Daqian Country, they don't know who the other party is, let alone what they do."

"If the spy is just a civil servant and cannot make waves, but if he is a military attache, or a military attaché on the frontier..."

Even before the emperor finished speaking, Kan Chaoyan knew the seriousness of the matter: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. We only need to ask one person to find out if there are spies on the border."

He glanced at the courtyard opposite, and the emperor understood immediately.

The person who lives opposite the emperor's courtyard is Mu Nanjin. As long as she is around, there is nothing they don't know.

When the emperor thought of Mu Nanjin, he loved and hated her. How could there be such a annoying little girl in this world?

He sighed loudly: "She is really suitable for the status of Jin Yiwei."

Kan Chaoyan agreed: "She is still suitable to stay in the Criminal Department. There is no case that cannot be solved with her."

The emperor nodded: "When we get back to the capital, let the governor find a reason to ask her to stay in the Criminal Department for a few days. When all the old cases are solved, she will be considered to have done a good deed and her merits will be immeasurable."

"Hello——"

Suddenly, the sound of Mu Nanjin sneezing came from the opposite yard.

【Who is scolding me? Or who is thinking of me? 】

The emperor and Kan Chaoyan immediately shut up.

The emperor raised his chin towards the courtyard opposite and motioned Kan Chaoyan to go find Mu Nanjin to do something.

Kan Chaoyan came to Mu Nanjin's courtyard with a smile: "Mu Yatou, don't you need to be on duty today?"

"I have to go out on errands today."

Mu Nanjin sat on the rocking chair and rocked.

Kan Chaoyan was very concerned and asked: "Going out to do something? Do you need my help?"

Mu Nanjin glanced at him and said, "Aren't you busy investigating the spy? How do you have time to help me?"

"I get a headache when I talk about this." Kan Chaoyan sighed deliberately and sat on a stone bench nearby: "You don't know that the mouths of these five spies are like stitches and they can't be pried open. They are unwilling to tell who their accomplices are."

He rubbed his temples and said, "The emperor only has one day left for us to interrogate. If we don't find out more, we will be punished."

Mu Nanjin asked smoothly: "What's the punishment?"

"The lightest penalty will be half a year's salary of our Zuoyuan. If the penalty is severe, it's hard to say."

He originally wanted to be demoted, but changed his mind when he realized that demotion was exactly what Mu Nanjin wanted.

[The salary for half a year is only a few dozen taels of silver. I have money now and I don’t like these tens of taels of silver. If you want to be fined, just fine him, hehe. 】

Kan Chaoyan: "..." In the past, two taels of silver could kill her.

Now that the little girl has grown up, she doesn't even care about dozens of taels of silver.

"But if someone can handle this matter well, then the person who handles this matter well will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold."

"A thousand taels of gold?"

Mu Nanjin's eyes lit up slightly.

[If you ask a few questions, you will get a thousand taels of gold, which will cover your food expenses for ten days. 】

Kan Chaoyan was secretly relieved. Fortunately, money was still attractive in Mu Nanjin's eyes, otherwise it would be difficult to ask her to do things again.

"Yes, I can't ask everything, and I'm not lucky enough to get a thousand taels of gold."

If Mu Nanjin could name other spies, the emperor would be willing to give her even ten thousand taels of gold, not to mention a thousand taels of gold.

Mu Nanjin glanced at the sky: "It's still early, I'll interrogate the spy first, and then go about my business."

Kan Chaoyan asked hypocritically: "Do you have a way to find out?"

"Just try and you will find out."

Mu Nanjin took Wu Yuan into the cell with the list of names that came out of Kan Chaoyan's interrogation.

Kan Chaoyan was guarding outside, but within a quarter of an hour, she came out.

He was surprised: "Come out so soon? Has the interrogation come out?"

"The question is out." Mu Nanjin handed him the case file written by Wu Yuan: "When you return to the capital, remember to send a thousand taels of gold to my house."

After saying this, she took Wu Yuan away. Today she and Chen Dao were going to buy materials, but there was no time to delay.

Kan Chaoyan watched them leave in a daze. He spent ten days unable to figure it out, but the other party managed it in half a moment. He had to admire him.

The five spies in the prison were even more confused.

When Mu Nanjin came in, she read their names first, and then told them all about the eighteen generations of their ancestors as if telling a story. Moreover, she knew better than them what they didn't know, including what other things there were in the Daqian Kingdom. Spies could also name names and knew the official positions their accomplices held.

Finally, they took their hands and stamped their fingerprints on the case file.

Not only was there no torture, no threats or inducements from beginning to end, but the results were obtained as quickly as possible.

When they were still confused, the other party left with the case file.

The spies from the Nine Territory Kingdom asked the spies from the other four kingdoms: "Did she just say that what happened in your country was nonsense?"

In fact, without asking, you can tell from their expressions that what Mu Nanjin said is true.

The Nine Saint Kingdom's spy said: "I think she is more like a spy than us, and she has found out all the old spies who have been lurking in our country for a long time."

The spies of Jiuguang Kingdom looked puzzled: "Speaking of which, since they know everything about us, why did they torture us before? And forced us to drink so much medicine?"

The spies of the September Kingdom snorted: "I think they just want to beat us, but they are afraid that we are from a medium-sized country, so they have to find reasons to torture us."

The spies of Jiu Ao Kingdom said: "The people of Da Qian Kingdom are despicable."

The other four countries agreed: "Yes, despicable."

Kan Chaoyan, who was standing outside the cell and heard their conversation, said: "..."
