Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 326 Spy
"It's okay if you don't understand. If you ask this way, you should be able to understand, right?" Chu Ci smiled, and asked in Japanese, "あなたは谁ですか?"
"Why do you speak Japanese?" Jia Kun stared at Chu Ci with wide eyes.
"Sure enough, I understand. Why did I say it doesn't matter, what matters is who you are? Why did you pretend to be Jia Kun? Where did the real Jia Kun go?" Chu Ci asked several questions in succession.
"I'm Jia Kun, what you're asking is meaningless at all!" Jia Kun gritted his teeth and said, he already had a lot of fears about Chu Ci in his heart, and he didn't dare to relax as much as when we first met.
"Come here, take him down and scrub him well." Chu Ci handed Chang Xiao a small porcelain bottle and asked him to put some in Jia Kun's bath water later.
As soon as Master Fan came out of the inner hall, he saw the back of Jia Kun being taken down, and hurriedly asked: "Wait, Chu Tixue, what's going on?"
"My lord, don't worry, just listen to me..." Chu Ci told Master Fan the ins and outs of the matter, and also explained why he suspected that this Jia Kun was not the original one.
"When interrogating his parents before, I didn't know that Jia Kun was the one who instigated those masters in Zhangzhou Mansion, so I didn't pay much attention. But when I found out that the two of them might be the same person, I found a flaw, that is The legs and feet of the two of them seem to be different. According to his parents, Jia Kun is in good health, with good legs and feet, and there is no inconvenience. inconvenient."
"Of course, it's also possible that he was injured halfway and recovered later. But it was a flaw, so after I discovered this problem, I sent someone to inquire again. The parents of Jia's family confirmed that they saw Jia in the last month. Kunshi, his legs are not inconvenient, and other people in the family can also confirm. This is strange, how can a person's feet be good and bad? And my people also inquired that this person is afraid of chickens, just now I I tried it with a chicken, but he had no other emotions except a little curiosity, so I can conclude that this person is not the real Jia Kun. Now I have ordered someone to take him down and wash him off, yes or no, It will be clear later."
After Chu Ci finished speaking, Master Fan was silent for a long time and then said: "Sure enough, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Chu Tixue observes so carefully, I am ashamed."
"My lord's praise, I only discovered it by chance."
"After this case is over, I will tell you all the contributions you have made. At that time, the Holy Majesty may consider transferring you back to the capital. According to this old man, it is really true that you are the only one to be promoted by a government." It's a pity."
Mr. Fan has been with Chu Ci for more than half a month, and he really admires this young man in his heart. He has means without being too sharp. , I am afraid that in less than three years, he will be able to rise to the top and soar thousands of miles.Why did the emperor send this person to study?To make it to the top, it's just a mere capital city of Zhengti School, a sour scholar in charge of the whole country. Although he is a clean stream, he has no real power.
Chu Ci looked terrified, and waved his hand to decline: "Master Fan, please don't, Chu has nothing else to do but to learn the Tao. Moreover, this time assisting in handling the case is because Chu has no intention of getting involved, and did not intentionally intervene in the local prison. And please, my lord, do not hide a thing or two for me, so as not to be caught by Shangfeng, and it will not be beautiful if you participate in me again."
With a thought in his heart, Mr. Fan asked: "Chu Tixue really wants to give me all the credit? You must know that this case is of great importance, and the court must attach great importance to it. As long as the emperor approves, even Qi Luzhi can't be embarrassed in the slightest. "
"Your Excellency, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind, and please don't sign my name when the time comes." Chu Ci refused. This matter is very involved. According to his thinking, it is best to hide in the dark and not expose himself, otherwise what would happen? I don't know what happened when I was revenged by someone.
Mr. Fan didn't know that Chu Ci knew how to protect himself at a young age, just like those old officials. He only thought that he was too bookish and refused to take credit for it. He was very moved at the moment.
"Then I accept your favor. If you have any wish to achieve, you can tell me." Mr. Fan made a promise that within his ability, he would do it for Chuci.
Chu Ci laughed, and said: "Since your lord said so, I will say it boldly. I heard that the Fujian Navy's boat is the latest model, and the speed of the boat is more than twice that of ordinary passenger boats. If you can get on the water The division's ship will definitely save a lot of time."
Mr. Fan is even more fond of him, what kind of wish is this?It's clear that he just said something casually because he didn't want to rely on envy. Such a talented person who can advance and retreat is really rare in the world!
"That's easy to say. I will write a letter to you later. In the future, you can board any ship in Fujian directly, regardless of the reason."
Faced with Master Fan's admiring eyes, Chu Ci was also very happy. The Fujian Navy has a very wide jurisdiction, and it will be much faster to go back to Xijiang Province or go to other places on their boat.And as a sailor, I must take this pass to go elsewhere, and I can also take an official ship, right?
Just as they were talking, Jia Kun's place was also washed clean.Chang Xiao poured down some of the medicinal powder in the small porcelain bottle, and after Jia Kun washed it, the original camouflage on his body fell off.
The current him is about [-]% like that of Jia Kun. When he walks, one foot is deep and the other is shallow, and he can immediately distinguish the difference between the two.
Chang Xiao pinched his nose and picked up Jia Kun's shoes, poked his head in and took a look inside. After being so pale from the smoke, he immediately threw the shoes away and ran outside to take a few breaths.
"Master, I see clearly. As you expected, Jia Kun has high and low feet. The shoe on his left foot has a thick sole." Chang Xiao whispered.
Chu Ci nodded. He had guessed before that Jia Kun's feet were probably good and bad because of this reason.In a place where there are no acquaintances, he is definitely not willing to lay a thick cushion, looking like he is limping, but in front of acquaintances, he must be exactly the same as the original Jia Kun to avoid suspicion.
It seems that the original Jia Kun is in danger.
"Lord Fan, the prisoner has been washed, do you want to bring it up?" Chu Ci asked.
"Bring it up!"
After a while, Jia Kun was brought to the hall.
"Who is kneeling under the hall? What conspiracy do you have to forge your identity to enter our territory of Wei? Come quickly, don't hide anything."
The fake Jia Kun knelt on the ground with a mournful expression, and remained silent.
"As a spy of the Japanese country, you sneaked into our Great Wei alone. Do you want to pry into my Great Wei's secrets and try to provoke a war between the two countries? Mr. Fan, why don't we write a book and hand it over to the imperial court, so that the Holy One will send elites from all over the world, Then go to Shenjiying to get some new weapons, and attack their Japanese country, such a small country, the Wei navy can destroy it without any effort, presumably at that time, the truth should be cleared up, right?" Chu Ci looked at Master Fan. , came up with an idea at random, but this idea made Jia Kun's eyes tear.
Mr. Fan wanted to shake his head, how could the diplomatic relations between the two countries be easily destroyed, there are three princes in the court and the left and right ministers sitting in charge, they are such lowly officials that they don't even have a place to speak.But after glancing at Jia Kun's expression from the corner of his eye, he immediately understood the meaning of Chu Ci, took over the scene in an instant, and said, "Indeed, I have asked the imperial envoy to come and deal with this matter, and it will happen soon." There is a decision. My great Wei army is strong and strong, whether it is a navy or others, it is far superior to the Japanese country, and when the country is destroyed, I will ask for an order to guard the border so that the people of the Japanese country will never be reborn forever."
Jia Kun can maintain a false calm on the surface, but he is already panicking in his heart. He doesn't know why he was so unlucky to expose his true identity, but if it is because of him that the Wa Kingdom is destroyed, then he is blameless For those who are forgiven, a hundred times of seppuku cannot make up for their mistakes.
Chuci inadvertently turned his head to look at Jia Kun, and continued: "I heard that the Kyoto and Osaka of the Wa Kingdom have beautiful scenery. Play with flowers."
"Oh? Chu Tixue is really well-informed, how do you know so clearly?" Master Fan was a little curious.
"Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles." Chu Ci smiled mysteriously.
For a while, not only Jia Kun firmly believed that Great Wei really had the heart to destroy the Japanese kingdom, but even Mr. Fan felt that maybe Chuci had heard something in the capital, maybe the court really wanted to go to war?
Jia Kun was trembling all over at this moment, and his freshly washed body was covered in cold sweat as if soaked in water.
"Have you thought about it, should you confess your accomplices, or are you determined to be a sinner of the Japanese country, and then commit seppuku on the day the country is destroyed?"
Jia Kun is unwilling to face these two options, but he knows that the national power of Wa is still weak at this time, and it has no ability to confront the Great Wei head-on, so he can only choose the former.
"I said..." Jia Kun began to explain the whole story and his true identity.
According to him, his real name is Watanabe Jiro, and he came here in Jiayou 41, only for business at that time.Then he accidentally discovered that he looked similar to Jia Kun, and because he didn't have a local household registration, he was restricted no matter what he did, so he had a crooked mind, killing people and throwing the corpses in the sea when there was no one, and then disguised himself as Jia with the help of disguise powder. Kun's appearance.
But he was afraid of being discovered by the Jia family, so he seldom went back, even after dark.Over the years, he has only used his identity as a member of the Great Wei to do some shady business, and has no intention of inquiring about the secrets of the Great Wei.Regarding this point, he emphasized it over and over again, for fear that Chu Ci and Mr. Fan would misunderstand and make him a sinner of the Wa Kingdom.
After Jia Kun was taken away after the painting was finished, Master Fan asked Chu Ci: "Chu Tixue, what percentage of what he said is true do you think?"
"Half-truth, half-false. The name and purpose may be true, but after meeting Jia Kun and forging his identity, I'm not sure." Chu Ci considered what he said just now, and gave his own judgment .
Lord Fan nodded, with a worried expression on his face: "I think so too. I didn't expect that the Wa country would really send spies here, and they stayed here for several years. I don't know how their secret forces are developing."
"Master Fan, you don't need to worry too much. I, Wei Erlang, will not be easily bought by spies. Like Zhou Qing, he probably knows something, so he can explain the matter so clearly. If the identities of Jia Kun and others Exposure, the first ones who want to kill them are those who cooperated with them." Chu Ci sighed, even if ordinary people dare to risk their own lives, they will never use the lives of eighteen generations of their ancestors to test the national law Fortified.There is a saying in the law of the Great Wei: Those who cooperate with the enemy and treason will be punished by the nine clans.
"Why do you speak Japanese?" Jia Kun stared at Chu Ci with wide eyes.
"Sure enough, I understand. Why did I say it doesn't matter, what matters is who you are? Why did you pretend to be Jia Kun? Where did the real Jia Kun go?" Chu Ci asked several questions in succession.
"I'm Jia Kun, what you're asking is meaningless at all!" Jia Kun gritted his teeth and said, he already had a lot of fears about Chu Ci in his heart, and he didn't dare to relax as much as when we first met.
