SFS Chapter 322: Capturing the Spy
Chapter 322: Capturing the Spy
Xiao Yan quickly returned to the front yard and saw two people in coarse clothes kneeling in the middle of the yard.
They were grabbed by the arms by Wei Qinglan and the guards in the mansion, and kept shouting that they were innocent.
Wei Qinglan heard footsteps and looked up to see Xiao Yan walking quickly towards him.
"Your Highness, these two people are secretly asking the people on the street about Beixiao! I wanted to ask them, but they turned around and ran away as soon as they saw me... There must be something fishy going on!"
If they were the people of Beixiao, why would they ask others about Beixiao's affairs?
I heard these two people specifically asking about the high-yield grain of the people and the Beixiao capital city.
If someone came to Beixiao just for sightseeing, why would they care about these things?
Xiao Yan glanced coldly at the two people on the ground and said indifferently: "You get up first!"
After Wei Qinglan stood up, he stood respectfully behind Xiao Yan, but his eyes were fixed on the two people on the ground.
"What do you want to know? Why not ask this king?"
As they were talking, the palace's steward tactfully brought a chair over. Xiao Yan sat down and spoke lazily.
The two people on the ground looked at each other and began to cry loudly: "Your Majesty, we are really wronged! We are native Beixiao people, we are just curious about these things..."
One of them looked at Wei Qinglan behind Xiao Yan, then looked at Xiao Yan with a face full of grievance and said: "This girl is really too fierce! Those two big eyes stared at us as if they were about to fly out, we were really scared... In panic, we wanted to run away, but who knew that this girl would grab us without knowing the truth!"
Wei Qinglan's expression paused, and then he glared at the two of them even more viciously.
"If you have nothing to hide, why are you running? I think you have done something wrong! You're talking like a female demon. Why don't others run away when they see me? But you two ran faster than rabbits when you saw me?"
If the prince hadn't been here, she would have scolded these two people to death!
Where are my eyes wide open? I want to fly out!
Do you really think she is the reincarnation of a fairy, whose eyeballs can come out from time to time to play and then fly back into these two holes?
Furthermore, every household in Beixiao planted the high-yield grain given by the little princess.
Why are they the only ones curious?
He is clearly a spy from another country, secretly coming to inquire about Beixiao's situation.
Fortunately, the people of Beixiao were united, and when they saw the two men inquiring about the high-yield grain, they did not say a word to them.
"It's because you led people to chase us! We are just farmers who farm honestly. We are naturally afraid of soldiers wearing armor..."
Hearing the two men's explanations, Xiao Yan sneered.
afraid?
When the people of Beixiao saw soldiers in armor, they were never afraid of this word!
They would only greet them warmly and give the soldiers food from their homes that they were reluctant to eat.
These two people are really unqualified to be spies.
I don't even know these things...
After hearing their explanation, Wei Qinglan's eyes flashed with sarcasm.
She thought the same as Xiao Yan. Didn’t these two people do any homework in advance before coming to Beixiao to inquire about things?
The two people on the ground just thought that Xiao Yan was laughing out of anger.
He spoke more and more vigorously, even trying to portray Wei Qinglan as a bully who could not distinguish right from wrong, confused right and wrong, and arbitrarily oppressed the people.
Xiao Yan felt a little annoyed after hearing this. He leaned forward slightly and opened his thin lips slightly: "Are you really the people of Beixiao?"
The two men on the ground seemed to believe their words when they saw the man in front of them. They nodded hurriedly and said, "It's absolutely true. Your Majesty, please make the decision for us!"
Xiao Yan spread out his bony hands in front of them and said calmly, "ID card!"
The two people on the ground were stunned, then looked up at Xiao Yan in confusion.
"what?"
What is an ID card?
Before they came to Beixiao, the emperor didn't tell them that Beixiao had this weird thing called identity cards?
Could it be that the man in front of them was trying to cheat them?
The two rolled their eyes and tried to force a smile on their faces: "Your Majesty, please don't joke! We were born and raised in Beixiao, but we have never heard of any identity card..."
Another person continued, "I thought Your Highness would make the decision for us, but I didn't expect you to be such a person who can't tell right from wrong! Then let us go. If we leave Beixiao with our families, will you feel more at ease?"
Xiao Yan sneered, these two people were so stupid!
Every citizen of Beixiao has an ID card, and in the future they will need to present their ID card to enjoy free medical treatment and school attendance.
The two people in front of me kept saying that they had never seen it!
If not a spy, then what is it?
Also, provoking others doesn’t work on you!
Xiao Yan's personality is such that he would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go!
Not only are the words of these two people full of loopholes, but they also want to leave Beixiao safely?
What a wild idea!
Xiao Yan no longer had the patience to deal with them and stood up from his chair.
He ordered: "Interrogate them strictly and make sure to find out what information they want to find out from Bei Xiao!"
The two men on the ground saw that something was wrong and their expressions suddenly changed.
Wei Qinglan's eyes never left the two of them and he saw that their expressions were not right.
Suddenly he flew forward and kicked one of them in the cheek.
After landing, he quickly grabbed the other person's chin, and everyone only heard a crisp sound.
Looking again, the man's saliva was actually flowing down the corners of his mouth.
Wei Qinglan stood up and kicked each of them.
He said in a hateful voice: "How cunning! He actually wanted to take poison!"
Xiao Yan looked at Wei Qinglan with appreciation, then turned and left.
A glimmer of despair flashed in the eyes of the two men on the ground.
They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of not being able to survive the interrogation...
...
Xiao Yan sat in the study all night.
At dawn, the guards in the mansion knocked on the study door.
"Come in!" Xiao Yan's voice was a little hoarse after a sleepless night.
The guard came in and reported what happened last night.
"Dongcui? What are they here to Beixiao to inquire about?"
Xiao Yan sat in front of the desk with his eyes lowered so that people could not see the expression in his eyes.
The guard said respectfully, "Your Highness, they are here on the orders of the Queen of Dongcui to check whether Beixiao has any high-yield grains, and they are also ordered to bring the high-yield grains back to Dongcui!"
His bony fingers tapped lightly on the table.
But he was a little bit unconvinced in his heart.
Queen Dongcui has always been conceited. If she had heard about it, she would have written a letter to her brother to threaten him secretly.
Even if they sent spies to Beixiao to investigate the situation, they would not come here... They should start from Tianfu Pass guarded by Zhao Zheng...
Nanyue...Beichen...
Xiao Yan closed his eyes slightly, his thoughts racing.
Nanyue has been cooperating with Beixiao recently, so even if they wanted to spy on them, they wouldn't send two idiots so blatantly.
Beichen...
Like Beixiao, they mainly rely on farming. If they knew that Beixiao had high-yield grain, they would definitely be very anxious.
Xiao Yan waved his hand and asked the guards to retreat.
I should tell my brother about this matter so that he can prepare early!
