Chapter 174 The Traitor Must Die

"This," Liu Qi hesitated when he heard Aunt Zhuo's words. Even if the big cannibals breaks through the Luzhou City, they will not be caught by the big cannibals, of course, it is authentic.

If he wants to fight street battles, he cannot completely cut off internal and external contacts after the city walls are controlled by the cannibals. Therefore, he has to dig tunnels. The connected tunnels open one end in the city and the other end in the Yili River in the north of the city. By designing the tunnels, the river water prevents the river from pouring into the tunnels.

But this cannot be told to the people and even the soldiers for the time being that if someone was captured before the Great Cannibal entered the turmoil and let the Great Cannibal learn about his plans, he would have been wasted all his previous efforts.

"Aunt Zhuo, there is indeed a special road that can leave the city after the city falls. Zhuo Ya probably knows this road." Liu Qi could only say vaguely.

"This is very strange. As you said, this path should be extremely secret. Although Zhuo Ya has been praised by the lord, she is just an ordinary person. How can she know it?" Su Xin said in confusion.

"I don't know this," Liu Qi replied again, while secretly praying that Su Xin would not have the correct association.

"Sure enough, she was still lying to me, saying this just to comfort me. If the Luzhou City was captured by the Great Cannibal, she would not be able to leave the city at all." I don't know if Liu Qi's prayer worked, but Su Xin thought so.

"Aunt, don't think too much," Liu Qi advised again: "Since you don't know where Zhuo Ya is, it's useless to think too much."

"You are talking about her, hey, let's pack your luggage." Su Xin sighed and said.

After that, they packed their luggage carefully, and it was soon noon. Su Xin knew that Liu Qi had the habit of having lunch, and she couldn't move a lot of food at home, so she stopped to clean up and cooked a lunch.

After lunch, Liu Qi stayed for a while and left Zhuo's house. He was very busy. It was not easy to be able to take a break from his busy schedule and stay at Zhuo's house for more than an hour. He had to go back and continue to do the job.

After Liu Qi left Zhuo's house, Su Xin, Renault and Danya took a break for a while and continued to clean up the house. Renault and Danya quickly packed up their house and came to help Su Xin. Later, Su Xin's son also went home to clean up the things he wanted to take away before dark.

"Aunt Zhuo, Dania, it's almost dark, I have to go back." Renault glanced at the sky and said.

"Stay at home for a meal," Su Xin said: "You have been busy all day, and you can't leave a single meal for you."

"No need, Aunt Zhuo, Zhang Biecheng asked that he had to return to the camp before dark, so it should not be too late; and Zhang Biecheng had already said that the meal in the camp will be very good tonight. I would like to reward everyone, and I also want to go back and give it to you." Renault said with a smile.

"Since you are going back to give me a reward, I won't keep you." Su Xin smiled.

"Aunt Zhuo, I'm leaving. I'll come here to help with the move tomorrow morning." Renault said again and left the Zhuo family.

Renault walked out of the yard and closed the door, and was about to rush back to the barracks when suddenly someone called him behind him: "Renault!"

"Mit, are you going back to the camp at this time?" Renault turned around and saw that it was him and said with a smile.

"How could you come out of Aunt Zhuo's house?" Mit asked in confusion.

Renault immediately told him about his past renting the Zhuo house. Mit nodded after hearing this, and was about to make a joke when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "I heard that Zhuo Ya ran away from home?"

"yes."

"Then have you found her? How is she now?" Mitt asked immediately.

"I didn't find her, but she is very safe now. She sent two notes to the family to tell her family about her situation."

"She's safe," Mitt said with relief.

"Maybe we will see her when we defend the city in the future." Renault told Mit that Zhuo Ya was about to go into battle to kill the enemy.

"If I really meet her while defending the city, I will do my best to protect her safety." Mitt murmured to himself.

"Hey, Renault," he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is Brother Liu who promised Zhuo Ya to go into battle to kill the enemy?"

"Yes. Although she is skilled in martial arts, she is a woman after all. If Liu Duwei agreed, how could she go into battle to kill the enemy?"

"In other words, if she wants to go into battle, she must be arranged by Brother Liu. In this way, Brother Liu should know where Zhuo Ya is."

"Hey, you're right." Renault felt it made sense after hearing Mitt's words. "No matter where Zhuo Ya is hiding, if you want to go into battle, you must ask Lieutenant Liu. Lieutenant Liu can easily know where she is."

"It's late now. I'll go and ask Brother Liu tomorrow and ask him to tell me where Zhuo Ya is hiding." Mitt said again.

"Mit, but Lieutenant Liu may not know now." Renault thought of another thing. "No need to go into battle now, and Zhuo Ya may not have asked to meet Lieutenant Liu."

"Yes, you're right. Then I wait for the Great Cannibal to attack the city, no, after the Great Cannibal attack, I still need to ask Brother Liu, a woman who kills the enemy on the top of the city will surely spread quickly, and I will know soon. At that time, I will definitely ask Commander Liu to arrange her to the wall I defend." Mit said.

"At that time, show it well in front of Zhuo Ya and make her secretly agree to you." Renault joked.

Hearing this, Mit blushed, but did not refute, obviously accusing Renault's words.

"By the way, I have to tell you something." Renault didn't want to talk to him about Zhuo Ya anymore, so he changed the subject.

"What's the matter?"

"Do you know Danfu likes Tang Wu too?"

"What, Danfu likes Tang Wu? Why don't I know?" Mitt looked surprised.

"You are too slow. If you don't talk about this, you promised Shi Nai to introduce Tang Wu to him, but Danfu also likes Tang Wu. What should you do?"

"This." Mitt immediately lost his mind. Of course, he tended to play with Danfu from childhood to adulthood; but he had already agreed to introduce Tang Wu to Shi Nai, so it was hard to regret it again.

"Anyway, you have to have a clear idea of ​​this matter. No matter who you want Tang Wu to be with, don't be sad about your kindness." Renault said.

"I have to think about what to do," Mitt said.

"We have to think about it carefully. But don't think about it now. Zhang Baek said it was dark and we would reward the soldiers. It was dark soon. We had to go back quickly, otherwise we wouldn't be able to eat good food." Renault said as he ran to the barracks.

"Wait for me." Mitt hurriedly followed.

...

...

"You have reported to the Chief of the Duke, and you have already confessed to the two captured people. Please ask the Chief of the Chief of the Chief of the Chief of the Central Committee to review the office." Liu Qi had just returned to his public housing and had not sat firmly, but a recorder came in and said.

"I already have a confession, so fast?" Liu Qi said while reaching out to take the confession.

"According to the interrogation of the 'God Question', the two of them were indeed just ordinary merchants. This time they only led the way in the Dashi Pioneer Army, not a traitor who surrendered to the Dashi Ren." The record answered.

"It seems that's true." Liu Qi looked at the confession. The first page was the self-reported statement of the two. It can be seen that the "God Question" interrogated very carefully and asked about their entire lives. Compared with the content of the self-reported statements of the two, there should be no lie, it is true.

Liu Qi continued to read the contents of the subsequent page. He looked relaxed at the beginning, but the more he looked, the more he became more frustrated.

There is nothing else. This part of the content is about the fact that there are many people who defect to Dashi, or even the Han people, there are many Han people, but there are fewer Shuye City. The Han people who have not been slaughtered have served the government before and after serving the government, especially the locals.

Liu Qi can understand what these people do. First, if you don’t serve the cannibals, you will have no errands, and you will not be able to support your family if you can’t make money; second, your family is all local. If the cannibals force you to work, just like two guides, you have to take care of your family without fear of death and you can only continue to do things.

But understanding is understanding, you will still feel frustrated when you see the confession.

Keep reading, Liu Qi is not only frustrated, but also gets angry, because the last part is about the traitor who knows about the two of them, who defected to the great cannibals.

The first thing that was born was He Pu. After betraying Jieshan Governor Niu Mou once, he realized that he could not take two boats, so he completely defected to the Great Cannibal and offered everything he knew. With his assistance, the Great Cannibal captured many resisting people near Suoye City, and He Pu was also increasingly relied on.

The second is the Shiye City Shijia. This family is a Turkic family, and many tribes are openly serving the great cannibals; this is fine, what is even more annoying is that with the encouragement of this family, many Turkic people have also begun to serve the great cannibals. The generals of the big cannibals even formed an army with all the Turkic soldiers, and as auxiliary soldiers, they are even coming to Yuluzhou City soon.

"If these ordinary Turkic people are willing to surrender, they can accept it; but the Shi family will never accept surrender! In the future, they will definitely punish the Shi family!" Liu Qi couldn't help but say.

The other rebels were people that Liu Qi had never heard of, and the impact was not great. Liu Qi glanced at him quickly and let him go.

"Have you reported this to the Protector?" Liu Qi asked again.

"It's reported."

"What did Protector say?"

"The Protector said, please ask the Chief Executive to deal with it at his discretion."

"How can I deal with it at my discretion? I can't decide such a thing." Liu Qi couldn't help but complain.

The record is unclear. The two people who are just guides for the Dashi Army, why can't the captain deal with it on their own?

"Forget it, since the Protectors do not speak, then according to my opinion, they will be exempted from their fault and acquitted. But as a civilian, we must assist in defending the city."

"You tell all the officials under you who are in charge of the work, these two are special cases. If there are Turkic people who serve the Great Food, the Han people cannot refer to this case when they are arrested." Liu Qi also instructed the recorder to record the matter.

"Yes." The recorder agreed and suddenly realized. There was a lot of debate about how to deal with the people who had worked for Dashi. Liu Qi didn't want to be a target himself.

Liu Qi gave a few more instructions, and then agreed to leave.

After that, Liu Qi began to deal with the documents on the table. It took him a long time to complete the documents and ordered people to send them to the public housing of the capital.

It was already dark and Liu Qi was hungry, so he sent the guards to bring the food back and eat it himself.

He was eating when someone pushed open the door, and then a passage of words came in. "Liu Qi, are you just starting to eat?"

"I have seen the Protector." Liu Qi immediately stood up and saluted.

"No need to be polite." Li Gong waved his hand and walked in, and asked again: "Why are you having dinner so late today?"

"There are too many errands, and I didn't finish it until a stick of incense. I ordered the guards to come back to serve the meal."

"It should." Li Gong smiled and said, "Who told you to stay away all morning and have to go out to hide? It's your business and you can't hide it."

"Yes, yes." Liu Qi agreed twice and asked again: "Has the Protectorate eaten?"

"I've eaten it. Oh, I'm not here to chat with you, but to tell you something." Li Gong's face became solemn and said to him: "Have you seen the confessions of the captured two people, right?"

"yes."

"Actually, those two confessions are incomplete. There is an explanation I ordered to delete. The content is the rebellion of the governor Gao who went to Dashi at the beginning of this year." Li Gong said.

"Governor Gao?" Liu Qi was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was Gao Shi. Gao Shi was selected as an envoy to serve as a messenger for the Dashi. Later, he had been in contact with Dashi and his official position was promoted from Changshi to Governor, although both were empty titles.

At the beginning of this year, in order to discuss how to arrange the princess of the Tang Dynasty's marriage, he went on a mission to Dashi again. However, he did not expect that the Dashi people suddenly raised an army to attack Anxi, so he fell in Dashi.

"He shouldn't surrender to Dashi, it should be these two people who misunderstood." Liu Qi said immediately.

Dashi would never enter the Central Plains anyway. Gao Shi was not a native of Anxi, so how could he surrender to Dashi? In an era when other ethnic groups were regarded as barbarics, unless they threatened their families, there were very few literati who surrendered to foreign races.

"I also thought it was unlikely, so I ordered them to delete it from the confession. But according to the two of them, Gao Shi was in the army of Bingbo Silin and was not arrested as a prisoner. The two of them said that they saw it with their own eyes, and it should not be fake." Li Gong said.

"The Regent of the Dashi may want to persuade Gao Shi to surrender, so it is not surprising that he has some preferential treatment." Liu Qi replied again. Wen Tianxiang, who had led troops to resist the Mongols, wanted to persuade him to surrender, and delayed him for several years before he was executed. Before his death, he was treated as a VIP. Gao Shi, who had only been an envoy, was not surprising at all.

"But what if he surrenders?" Li Gong asked again. Although the probability is low, he cannot ignore it.

"As long as he appears in public, he will try every means to kill him." Liu Qi said immediately. If Gao Shi surrendered, it will have a great impact on people's hearts. After all, he is not only a talented person, but also a governor. Liu Qi also did not care about the death of a great poet young age. If he surrendered, he must be killed.

"It shouldn't be. It's probably because I'm worried about it." Li Gong smiled and said, "There's another thing to tell you. The confession of the two people also wrote that a Han man named Du and Gao Shi were together. They didn't know who the man surnamed Du was. I looked through the envoy records and didn't see the man surnamed Du, nor did I know who that man was."

"But since he can speak with Gao Shi, he must be a scholar of his size. Since he is either a messenger, he may be a man who surrenders to Dashi."

"A traitors who take the initiative to surrender to Dashi will be killed as long as they are caught." Liu Qi said sternly. Although he advocated giving a glimpse to ordinary people who served Dashi, he was unambiguous to the traitors.

"Well said it, I will do this in the future." Li Gong smiled.
