Chapter 1400 Interrogation Result

The most valuable information Ma Bo confessed was that of the three people captured at his home, one of them was the local commander. Regarding the deployment of the Ming intelligence agency in Majiazhuang, only this person understood the overall arrangement.

Of course, regarding how he started colluding with this person, Ma Bo said that he had no choice but to agree to secretly cooperate with these people because the lives of his whole family were threatened.

Whether it is coercion or inducement, Chen Yixin is actually not very interested in understanding the details. He only cares about whether he can catch all the Ming spies lurking in Majiazhuang. As for Ma Bo's crime, it does not mean that if he confesses, nothing will happen.

, confessing his accomplices can at most save his life, but it is impossible to regain his freedom. Chen Yixin cannot give him any chance to stand up for a guy like this.

The torture experts brought in specially worked as expected. After the three people captured at Ma Bo's house were tortured, their mouths were soon pried open. Based on their confessions, Haihan's military then vigorously and resolutely took advantage of Ma Bo's torture.

Several people were arrested at the village, almost all of whom were outsiders who came here in the name of doing business.

Of course, the arrest process inevitably took a lot of trouble, and the military had to comfort the frightened people to prevent them from thinking that the arrest was targeting the public, thus triggering more panic.

Chen Yixin didn't care much about the little chaos caused by the arrest. He was able to control the situation and carry out the arrest in an orderly manner without the intervention of the Ministry of Security. This was considered a good job by the military.

Four and a half hours after the arrest operation began, Chen Yixin finally issued the order to lift the blockade of Majiazhuang. Although he was prepared in advance, too many emergencies during the operation overwhelmed the military. During the operation, Chen Yixin

He barely sat down to rest, and kept running between various conflict locations. If he hadn't been watching from the front line, the number of bloodshed that occurred today would have been several times greater.

In the end, all the 22 arrest targets identified by the military were found, two of them were killed while resisting arrest, and the remaining 20 people were captured. Chen Yixin knew that these were not necessarily the people sent to Fushan County by the Ming Dynasty government.

All the people who are lurking, but the group of people who have been captured must be considered the biggest threat at present. After these people are secretly connected, they may be like the group of people led by Zheng Ai at any time, and launch a desperate assassination against a specific target like Chen Yixin.

.

After the announcement of the lifting of the blockade, Chen Yixin came to Mabo's home again, which had been transformed into a temporary detention place. Those captured during the operation had been sent here for custody and interrogation.

"Take me to see their commander."

The purpose of Chen Yixin coming here again is to confirm some key information from the person in charge of the other party. It is not enough to just catch these people. Chen Yixin must know their true identity, the purpose of sneaking into Majiazhuang, and the behind-the-scenes information.

the chief messenger.

In the third courtyard, Chen Yixin saw this man after repeated torture. He was placed on a Taishi chair and carried out. His hands and lower body were covered with a layer of cotton cloth, but the cloth was soaked

The blood stains on his body showed that his injuries were serious.

The officer responsible for interrogating him had already come to Chen Yixin's side and reported softly: "Chief, everything this person has told me has been recorded. If the chief has anything else to ask, ask him quickly. This person should support him."

It’s not time for the sun to set.”

Chen Yixin knew that he had previously issued a death order to pry open the mouths of these people as soon as possible. It seemed that the person responsible for torturing him also directly attacked him without considering the possibility of letting him live. It can be imagined that the injuries covered by the cotton cloth were

How bloody. The man on the chair was already languid and his face was pale and blue. It looked like he had lost too much blood.

Chen Yixin would not question the professional's judgment of his remaining lifespan, so he immediately took the confession transcript and quickly browsed it to confirm if there was anything missing that he needed to ask himself.

The name of this unlucky ghost who is on the verge of death is Huang Qu, but there is currently no way to verify whether this is his real name or an identity code. According to his own confession, the group of people lurking in Majiazhuang, including him,

The men and horses actually came from the two yamen of Jinyiwei and Shandong Dusi, and the manpower on both sides accounted for almost half. The three people arrested at Mabo's house and those lurking in the immigration camp as refugees were all affiliated with Jinyiwei.

, and those arrested who openly entered Majiazhuang as merchants, servants, martial artists, etc. were all members of Shandong Dusi.

Although the actions of these two groups in Majiazhuang were both under the command of Huang Qu, they actually acted separately. The people from Shandong Dusi were responsible for gathering information outside, while the people from Jinyiwei were hiding in the immigration camp, waiting for the right opportunity.

An uprising. As for their target, it is naturally Chen Yixin who Zheng Ai's team failed to succeed last time, or other high-ranking Haihan officials with similar status.

However, after learning from the failure of the previous operation, these Ming intelligence personnel lurking in Majiazhuang did not act rashly again, but patiently waited for a better opportunity to take action. However, they did not expect that the Haihan Army would

The arrests were made suddenly without warning, and the target was so clear that when these people discovered that something was wrong, they did not have time to escape from Majiazhuang, and ultimately it became a situation of catching a turtle in a jar.

When Chen Yixin was planning this operation, he had no idea that he would lead out such a large number of people. At first, he only suspected that Mabo was involved in corruption in the management of the immigration camp, and originally wanted to turn a blind eye.

In the past, the Ministry of Security believed that Majiazhuang had been heavily infiltrated by hostile elements and needed to be thoroughly investigated, so he decided to make the operation bigger, but he did not expect that so many spies would be caught.

Naturally, Chen Yixin would not forget that what played a key role in this process was the anonymous reporting letter he received the night before the operation. The letter claimed that Ma Bo had colluded with the Ming Dynasty officials, and the list given was all

Today it was confirmed that this was true. In fact, the rapid opening of a breakthrough in the immigration camp was the result of Zeng Xiaowen acting based on this report list.

However, Chen Yixin still has no time to find out who wrote this report letter. His attention is still on the group of Ming intelligence personnel captured at the moment. From the standpoint of country to country, Chen Yixin

It is understandable why the opponent would take such measures. It was difficult for the Ming Dynasty officials to clear Haihan out of Shandong on the frontal battlefield, so they could only turn to the second best and rely on darker means.

Haihan was not afraid of the Ming Dynasty's military methods. At least for a foreseeable period of time, the Shandong government was unlikely to mobilize more than 10,000 troops to fight in Dengzhou. However, in a small-scale armed conflict, it would be difficult for the Ming Dynasty's army to fight in Dengzhou.

The Haihan Army had a good deal in the defense area. However, it was difficult to defend against domestic thieves during day and night defenses. The other party had already established a line with the Ma family and sent so many men to lurk in the occupied area. This made Chen Yixin

We have to re-examine the security issue.

Chen Yixin quickly browsed through the transcript of the confession, and after digesting it in his mind, he handed the document back to the officer and praised: "Well done! You can go and rest first. I'll call you if I need anything."

The officer saluted Chen Yixin and then exited the room, closing the door behind him and leaving the dying Huang Qu to Chen Yixin.

"I thought what happened to Zheng Ai last time could make you clearer, but now it seems that my idea was wrong. Whether it is Zheng Ai, you, or the officials behind you who may never appear in front of me,

Your misconceptions about Haihan are too deep, which has led to you always treating us in the wrong way."

Chen Yixin's words restored some vitality to the pale-faced Huang Qu. He slowly raised his head, glanced at Chen Yixin with his swollen eyes, and weakly responded: "Misconceptions? No, those who betrayed the Ming Dynasty

Those who cooperate with you are the ones who are making mistakes! You thieves will eventually be punished!"

Perhaps because he had a few teeth knocked out during the previous torture, Huang Qu's voice was a little leaky, which caused him to have an inexplicable sense of humor when he spoke. However, Chen Yixin couldn't laugh at this time, even if he was

Standing in the position of the winner, it is difficult to maintain a relaxed and happy attitude in front of an opponent who intends to take his life. He is not worried that Huang Qu, who has been seriously injured and cannot recover, will attack him again. Although Huang Qu's hands

His body and lower body were covered with cloth, but he could still tell that this man had lost his hands and feet and could no longer carry out the assassination mission.

However, being tortured like this before he confessed shows that Huang Qu is very determined. He will eventually confess. He probably does not expect to survive, but just wants to die peacefully. Otherwise, the torture experts responsible for interrogating him would not do so.

, will probably continue to dismantle his body, causing him to experience more pain before his death.

What Chen Yixin is worried about is that there are assassins like Huang Qu lurking in Majia Town, Fushan County, Zhifu Island and other places where they have access to high-ranking Haihan officials. If the people behind Huang Qu are willing, they can send a steady stream of assassins

Dead men like this are constantly creating murderous intent in Haihan's occupied area. No matter how tight Haihan's security measures are, there will always be times when they are dense and sparse. Let's be serious, the existing security measures in Haihan are

The security and monitoring methods are too crude. They can prevent a surprise attack by a large force, but they cannot prevent such a pervasive infiltration.

"Struggle cannot solve disputes. You always don't understand this truth. Except for giving your life in vain, you will get nothing." Chen Yixin said with some sigh: "I don't know how many people have to die to make the big shots in the Ming Dynasty understand this.

reason."

To the Ming Dynasty, these people were patriots who had the courage to sacrifice, but to Haihan they were stumbling blocks that had to be removed. But Haihan would not withdraw from Shandong, nor could he withdraw the garrison, or accept the Ming Dynasty's recruitment and so on.

Under the conditions, it is estimated that the relationship between the two countries will be difficult to fundamentally improve in the future, and such non-public confrontations are bound to continue.

Huang Qu did not respond to Chen Yixin's emotion. He had breathed his last breath and could not make any more noise.

Chen Yixin glanced at Huang Qu who was slumped on the chair motionless, sighed, stood up, and walked out slowly. Although he did not ask for any valuable information from Huang Qu, he at least confirmed something.

Huang Qu didn't know who betrayed him and his companions. Maybe Huang Qu thought he was betrayed by Ma Bo until his death, but Chen Yixin knew that before Ma Bo betrayed Huang Qu,

Someone reported their true identity, but Huang Qu's name was not on the report letter. After dealing with this gang of spies and assassins, it seemed time to think about who wrote the key report letter.

So far, Chen Yixin believes that two things are certain. First, the whistleblower is not Huang Qu's subordinates or associates, because these people all know Huang Qu's existence and it is impossible not to mention his name when reporting.

Second, although the informant knew that Ma Bo had colluded with Jin Yiwei, he did not know the relationship between Ma Bo and Huang Qu. From this, it can be inferred that the informant was familiar with the situation in the immigration camp, but was not necessarily familiar with Ma Bo.

I didn’t know that Jin Yiwei had been hiding in Ma Bo’s house.

Chen Yixin walked out of the house and called Zeng Xiaowen to his side: "I remember you mentioned yesterday that the person who wrote the report letter should be familiar with the immigration camp and may have the conditions to frequent the immigration camp."

"Maybe he even came into contact with the roster." Zeng Xiaowen added: "The names on the report letter are all the same as the names registered on the roster, and there is not even a word wrong."

Chen Yixin asked: "Then you should have asked Ma Bo about this? What do the people listed in the report letter have in common?"

"I asked, but Ma Bo's mind was full of confusion and he had no clue at all." Zeng Xiaowen shook his head regretfully: "He said that the roster is usually placed in the immigration camp, and many people can see it.

.As for the people on the report letter...the biggest thing they have in common is probably that they have been helping Liu Shang in recent days."

"Working for Liu Shang?" Chen Yixin said in surprise: "Then it seems that Liu Shang has the conditions to frequently visit the immigration camp, and he also has a certain cultural foundation. He must be able to read and write without any problem."

"Yesterday you asked Liu Shang to avoid it, so I went to find him early this morning and gave him an errand to leave Majiazhuang and return to Zhifu Island. I couldn't find him to confirm the matter at the moment." Zeng Xiaowen heard it.

Chen Yixin quickly explained the meaning behind his words.

Chen Yixin was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "It can't be him. As far as I know, he stayed at Ma Bo's house after coming to Majiazhuang. If he reported the spy, he even listed several guys in the immigration camp.

, how could you let those people hiding in Ma Bo's house go? This makes no sense, someone else should have written the report letter."
