Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 397 The Secret Code
Chu Ci leaned back on the grand teacher's chair, put his hands on the table, and tapped his knuckles on the table.He frowned deeply, as if something was embarrassing him.
"Chu Tixue? Brother Chu, do you have any clues?" Fan Ju was originally sitting, but then he stood up straight away, pacing non-stop.Seeing that Chuci has maintained his current state after hearing what he said, he couldn't help feeling a little impatient, at least say something, right?
Chu Ci raised his eyes to look at him, and slowly shook his head, did he just come here?He only heard a few words, how could he think of any solution?
Fan Ju sighed, his expression extremely depressed.A three-day appointment, the first day is almost over, and they still have no clue.
"Master Fan, don't worry. Although time is tight, Chu believes that as long as it is a fox, it will show its tail. We just need to wait for him to show the fox's tail and then grab it." Chu Ci comforted .
Fan Ju sighed again: "I know this matter should not be rushed, but I really don't know what to do here. Now I doubt whether what those Japanese people said is true or not, and whether they have noticed something. Did you deliberately confuse the public?"
Chu Ci touched his chin: "It's also possible, why don't we go over now and ask a few words by the way." It is too simple to observe whether a person has lied or not. Even if the ancients deliberately concealed it, those small actions would betray them.
"Then go." Fan Ju didn't have much expectations, and Meng Fan's identity couldn't be revealed. When they brought up Japanese people for questioning these days, it was just a routine. People cannot be killed directly.
When he arrived at the admiral's office, Fan Ju ordered the three Japanese to be brought over.As soon as those Japanese people looked up and saw Chu Ci, they became agitated immediately, especially the Japanese who survived after being shot by him seemed to want to bite him to death.
"You guys, long time no see." Chu Ci greeted them with a smile, "Are you still alive?"
Several Japanese glared at him together, but they didn't speak back.
"I have been arrested for so long, are you still unwilling to explain the purpose of coming to my Great Wei? Also, is there any secret why you kidnapped the Juyeshan people?" This question is asked almost every day, and the leader of the Japanese A smugness flashed in his eyes, in his opinion, these Wei people are really stupid.
"You don't want to say yes, do you? Come on, let's go to the prison (zǎn)." Chu Ci ordered directly.
The Japanese people were still a little dazed, they didn't know which step went wrong, why they were about to be sentenced suddenly?The yamen behind came forward to support them, and put the finger-clamping clips on their hands.
"Now I'll give you a chance, as long as you are willing to tell the truth, you won't have to suffer, how about it?" Chu Ci said with a smile on his face, staring at them like wolves.As soon as he thought of the dozens of lives in the valley, he wanted to kill them.
"We're recruiting!" the Japanese called out quickly, but before they could say a few words, they switched to Japanese.Chu Ci generally understood a little bit, and the words were all curses. It seems that this person is dishonest.
"Since you don't confess sincerely, don't blame me. Use punishment."
"Ah——" several Japanese screamed suddenly, the voice was more piercing than that of a screaming chicken, and it made people get goosebumps.Ten fingers connected to the heart, who can bear it?This punishment is generally used on female prisoners, and Chu Ci wanted them to have a long memory, so he arranged for them.
"How? Recruit or not?"
"Recruit, let's recruit!" The leader of the Japanese was tortured unprepared, and he was already crying bitterly.
"Stop playing tricks?" Chu Ci asked again.
The Japanese man rolled his eyes in a circle, and at a glance, he was thinking badly. Chu Ci made a gesture and was about to be punished, so he panickedly stated their purpose of coming here in Da Wei language mixed with Japanese language.
Meng Fan stood in the back hall and listened while translating for Fan Ju. The Japanese said that his purpose was to ask the Juyeshan people about learning, and he invited him to Japan as a guest.
"It's nonsense. If that's the case, why do you want to kill people in that valley? These bastards are really daring!" Fan Ju was furious.
Chu Ci at the front was also sneering: "Although I only speak Japanese at a rough level, I can understand what you're talking about. Since you don't want to drink a toast, then I have nothing to say. Continue to torture."
The yamen servants pulled the rope, and there were several earth-shattering cries, but Chu Ci didn't stop, no matter what they said, the severe pain in his hand never stopped.
It was not until they were dying of pain that Chu Ci gave the order to stop.
"Should we talk about it now? Perhaps, you can try the one tied to your feet." Chu Ci said with a smile.This smile is no different from a devil in the eyes of the Japanese.
"Say... let's talk!"
The Japanese quickly explained a lot of things, including their names and their status in the country of Wa. Their purpose of coming to Wei this time was also very clear. They will find a way to come here when the Great Wei and Wa have banned trade again.
Chu Ci believed in this, because Butler Xu cheated the Japanese people because of this.However, "Since you are begging for food, why do you find Shangjuye mountain people and still do evil in the valley?"
The Japanese looked at each other, as if they wanted to lie and hide it.As soon as they were about to open their mouths, Chu Ci said: "Don't lie, if what you say is half a lie, I will use the dozens of punishments together later, if you don't believe me, you can try it."
The Japanese kept silent, and after a while, they said, "We are entrusted by the adults to retrieve something."
Here comes the point!Chu Ci and Fan Ju who stayed behind immediately pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"That thing is very important, and my lord said that I must take it back. But my lord was not sure, so he sent us to inquire about it. After finally finding out where it was, the people there wanted to drive us out, so..." the Japanese said , there was no guilt on his face.He said this in Japanese, and Chu Ci couldn't understand it, so he could only wait for the note to come later.
He sat on the stage sinking like water, the Japanese people looked more and more terrified, thinking that he was not satisfied with what they said, and unknowingly, revealed more things.
Meng Fan, who was behind, wished he had two more hands to copy down everything the Japanese said.
After the note came, Chu Ci read it at a glance, and then asked: "You mean, you don't know who that adult is? You usually communicate by code?"
After hearing this, the Japanese nodded his head again and again.
"What's the code like?"
Hearing this, the Japanese man froze, and just as he raised his head to lie, he saw Chu Ci staring at him with a half-smile that seemed to see him through.He didn't dare to lie, so he had to tell the truth.
"Now, how is the fight between the Great Wei and the Wa Kingdom?" the leader of the Wa people suddenly asked.
Chu Ci frowned, and just about to refute, he suddenly understood the reason why these Japanese people are so obedient today.It turned out that these Japanese people thought that the Great Wei and the Japanese Kingdom were already at war. .
If the real fight started, then their confessions really wouldn't affect anything.They only wanted to save their lives, and they probably hoped that someone would come to rescue them.This is probably the trick of Mr. Meng. He guards them day and night. It is too easy to spread some rumors.
Chu Ci raised a malicious smile and said: "At present, the Wa Kingdom is defeated by the Great Wei Navy, and I am afraid that it will be defeated soon, and you will soon become subjugated slaves."
He watched several Japanese people collapse to the ground in an instant, snorted coldly, and walked out with a little joy.
……
The people of the navy immediately moved into action. They searched for clues in the city all night, and finally found that these Japanese codes were engraved in several places. Most of the codes were destroyed, but the traces still remained.Among them, the places with the densest codes were marked on the map.
After daybreak, Fan Ju looked at the places marked on the map, and couldn't help but sigh at the cunning of the Japanese. It turned out that the places where they met were scattered, and they were all large restaurants and inns. Even if they checked the information of the guests, they couldn't find anything. thing.
"Not necessarily." Chu Ci took out a charcoal pencil and drew a line on the map, "Their actions just helped us narrow down the place. You see, if you connect these places, the most middle boundary must be that person. This is where your lord lives." He tapped the middle of the map with the tip of his pen.
Master Fan wanted to ask Chu Ci why, but seeing that he was so determined, he lost his enthusiasm for inquiring. After all, the most important thing now is to find out the spies.
"Among the people identified by Little Six, who live near here, focus on investigating their homes." Chu Ci helped them narrow down the scope of the investigation.
"Did you hear that? Tell me to go down!" Fan Ju yelled at the commanders, and the commanders rushed out immediately, not daring to delay.
"Brother Chu, you shouldn't have slept all night, okay? Why don't you go and rest for a while, and I'll wake you up when they come back from the investigation?" Fan Ju had already highly praised Chu Ci's ability at this time. Can the progress of the event be pushed forward by a short time?
Chu Ci shook his head: "No need, I've been asleep for a long time. Master Fan, why don't you go and rest yourself?"
Fan Ju smiled wryly: "I can't sleep, it's already the second day, and I've spent so much effort, if I still can't catch the spy, I'm afraid the old man will have another heartache from now on."
Chu Ci looked at him sympathetically, that's why he didn't want to be another official, it was too hurtful.Unlike Ti Xuesi's work that he had already started in his previous life, there was basically no pressure.Now he only needs to make a cameo to help occasionally, even if he fails in the end, the responsibility is not on him.
After the two of them stopped talking, Chu Ci took out the manuscript to read again.In the past few days, he had to arrange them in a row and bind them up, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to send them to Du Yu.
"Chu Tixue? Brother Chu, do you have any clues?" Fan Ju was originally sitting, but then he stood up straight away, pacing non-stop.Seeing that Chuci has maintained his current state after hearing what he said, he couldn't help feeling a little impatient, at least say something, right?
