Listening to the lame man's words, I feel that he is a person with a sense of justice. He can still chase the molten spies regardless of his own life. How could such a person do such a sneaky thing?
Ruyi asked: "Why did you steal at the Ranger Camp?"
The lame man lamented, and slapped melon seeds on his face with big ears: "It's all my fault. I was greedy... and went on the wrong path. My family is from Leyue, and Leyue is a small town. Maybe you two
I have never heard of it. Due to excessive food and military conscription during the war, Le Yue, who was already in poverty, became even poorer. No one worked in the fields, and the people in charge were all women. There was also a drought, and there was no harvest from the fields. There was trouble.
It’s a famine. No one can open the pot..."
"I wanted to go back and see my wife, children, and mother. But this was wartime, and as a soldier, I couldn't just leave. I didn't have much pay, so...then I acted with evil intentions.
After I stole the money, I asked someone to exchange it for food and send it back, thinking that it could solve an urgent need. When I was just expelled from the military camp, I thought about going back to my hometown, but the person I entrusted to me told me that I didn’t know about Le Yue
The city is already empty, those who can run have long since run away, and the rest have all starved to death. The streets are full of starving corpses... My wife, children, and mother are among them... wu wu wu..." Speaking of sadness
The lame man covered his face and started crying again.
Sometimes people are forced to do bad things. If everything goes well and they live in paradise, many people probably won't be willing to think about evil things.
Ruyi gave him fifty taels of silver notes and said, "You should go back to the military supply camp quickly. Take this money and live a good life and be a good person. The spirits of your wife, children, and mother in heaven will bless you."
The lame man waved his hands repeatedly: "This is impossible. You have already saved my life, how can I ask for your money again?"
"Just take it if you are told." Qin Xiao also said, "This is not pity for you, but a reward for you. You have merit for catching the Rongzhu spies."
With trembling hands, the lame man took the fifty taels of silver notes in disbelief and kowtowed to the ground to thank him.
"You will keep an eye on it for me in the future. If you find that there is another betrayal of military information in the Munitions Department, you must report it to me. I will place some people in the Munitions Department, and they will contact you by then." Qin smiled.
"If nothing happens, just leave."
The lame man said yes repeatedly, kowtowed a few more times, and then dragged his limp away.
As soon as he left, Ruyi and Qin Xiao squatted on the ground and began to dig through the body of the Rongzhu spy.
The Rongzhu spy was wearing the clothes of a Celestial Dynasty person. At first glance, there was no difference, but after opening it, he found that there was a mystery hidden inside. There were hidden pockets sewn on both sides of his lapel and in the armholes, which could be used to store things. Some of them were empty.
, some contain some paper rolls.
The two of them took out these rolls of paper one after another and unfolded them to look at them.
It didn't matter at this glance, both of their faces changed.
Even Qin Xiao, a general, didn't know some of the secrets written on these scrolls. The writing on most of the scrolls was illegible, and the paper used was not uniform. The handwriting was definitely not written by one person. It looked like the lame man
I'm not lying, there is more than one mole in the Munitions Department.
"Princess Ningwu, the daughter of the coach Qing Wang, held a wedding in Yunjie City, and she married a man named Chu. This person surnamed Chu does not seem to be an official, and his background is not known yet." Ruyi put the name in one of the scrolls.
