"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 857
Late at night, the capital of Jiangbei Province, the secret base of the Intelligence and Investigation Department.
The dark and gloomy dungeon was filled with a damp, moldy, turbid smell, and the shrill screams continued to come from the depths of the dungeon, which was creepy to hear.
Several capable black-clothed soldiers guarding the exit of the dungeon stared at their surroundings vigilantly, and seemed to have become accustomed to the screams coming from the dungeon.
"Password!"
Suddenly there were footsteps outside the yard, and the faint light of the torch was faint. A black-clothed officer from the Intelligence and Investigation Department pressed the handle of his knife and asked in a cold voice.
The secret sentries of the intelligence and investigation department lurking on the courtyard wall and roof also raised their crossbows one after another, aiming at the courtyard gate, as if they were facing an enemy.
"Yangtze River, Huiling¡ª¡ª"
There was also a response from outside the yard.
"Yellow River!"
After the black-clothed officer of the Intelligence Investigation Department responded, he gestured with his eyes, and then the two black-clothed soldiers went to open the courtyard door.
"Xue Zhicheng, Captain of the Operations Corps of the Intelligence Investigation Department, has met the two adults."
Under the light of the torch, the black-clothed officer of the Intelligence Investigation Department guarding the entrance of the dungeon hurriedly saluted with his fists crossed across his chest.
"There is no need to be too polite."
Du Jian, the battalion commander of the Qinwei Banner, quickly swept his gaze across the ordinary courtyard, and waved his hands with a smile.
"Lord Du, please¡ª"
Wu Shuang, the chief of operations of the Intelligence Investigation Division, made a sideways invitation. After Du Jian nodded slightly, he stepped into the courtyard.
Under the guidance of Wu Shuang, Du Jian went down the steps to the dark and gloomy dungeon.
Although there were torches for lighting, the dungeon was flickering and dark, exuding a terrifying atmosphere.
The further he walked into the dungeon, the more Du Jian felt that his breathing was a little short, and he smelled a bloody smell.
In many separated dungeons, some bloody people were locked by cold iron chains. They were motionless, and their life and death were unknown.
The Intelligence Investigation Department is the core intelligence department of the Qinghe Army. Du Jian knows that they have great powers, but he doesn't know much about their specific internal situation.
This is the first time that Du Jian, the battalion commander of the Guard Banner, has been to the dungeon of the Intelligence and Investigation Department. He felt a little uncomfortable in such an atmosphere.
"Who are those people?"
Du Jian asked, pointing to the dying people.
"They are all enemy spies who have infiltrated our Qinghe army."
"Is the punishment too severe? Judging from their appearance, they probably won't live long." Du Jian couldn't bear to say.
"Their mouths are so tight that they cannot be pried open without severe punishment." Wu Shuang explained with a smile.
"The commander-in-chief always said that we should cause less killing, and try not to kill if we can, otherwise we will become a killing machine." Du Jian couldn't help but speak.
Wu Shuang looked at Du Jian with a smile and said, "Of course what the commander does is upright, but these dirty jobs must be done by someone. Besides, these are enemies, and there is no mercy."
After Du Jian heard Wu Shuang's words, his lips squirmed, and finally swallowed the words on his lips.
Because he was unable to refute, he suddenly realized that he had misunderstood the meaning of the commander-in-chief Chen Ziang. Making fewer killings did not mean not causing no killings.
"My lords, they have all confessed."
While Wu Shuang was talking with Du Jian, a young man covered in blood came from a distance, exuding a strong smell of blood.
"The head of the government, the commander of the banner battalionit seems that they are hiding deep enough."
Wu Shuang glanced at the list that the young man handed over, and immediately handed it to Du Jian.
"Are you sure?"
Seeing that the enemy has even penetrated so deeply, and some people have even taken up important positions such as banner battalion commander and chief officer, Du Jian was also shocked.
Although the people holding these positions are not important ministers and generals, they are very involved, and Du Jian dare not make a judgment.
"We interrogated them separately. Those who have been compared repeatedly should be fine," said the young man from the Intelligence and Investigation Department.
After hearing this, Du Jian also realized that the commander-in-chief Chen Ziang's purge operation was really prescient.
At first, he thought that the commander-in-chief Chen Ziang was making a big fuss, but he was still surprised when he saw so many rats being dug out.
"Also interrogated otherAnything? "Du Jian continued to ask.
"This is the dossier of our interrogation, and it's all recorded in it."
The young man waved his hand, and a soldier from the Intelligence and Investigation Department came over with a thick stack of files.
"You continue the interrogation, I will take it to the commander-in-chief to make a report."
Du Jian was sent to the intelligence and investigation department this time. Although it was to assist, it also meant to supervise.
Now that the results of the interrogation came out, Du Jian naturally did not dare to neglect, and decided to report it to Chen Ziang immediately.
At dawn, not long after Chen Ziang woke up, Du Jian, the battalion commander of the Banner of the Guard who stayed up all night to read the files, begged to see Chen Ziang without taking a break.
Chen Zi'ang is now a member of the uprising army's high command and the commander-in-chief of the Qinghe army, so he is busier than before.
However, the Intelligence Investigation Department is very important to the Qinghe Army and the entire rebel army, so it also attaches great importance to this matter, and also summoned Du Jian alone in the study.
"Tell me about the results of the interrogation."
Du Jian has been by Chen Ziang's side for a while. He is not only diligent, but also smart, which is highly valued by Chen Ziang.
This time Chen Ziang sent Du Jian to assist the Intelligence Investigation Department, and he also wanted to take advantage of the situation to hone him.
"Marshal, this is the list of the enemies hidden in our Qinghe Army after the interrogation by those spies. We have already verified it initially."
While Du Jian was speaking, he handed a bloody list to Chen Ziang.
"And we learned from a shadow guard that the attack at Yunxi Restaurant had nothing to do with Qilin Guard, it was entirely planned by them, and they finally planted the blame on Qilin Guard."
"This is the list and location of the secret agents they hide in various places in my territory as confessed by a leader of the Shadow Guard."
Chen Ziang didn't seem very surprised to see Du Jian handing over the list to him.
Because all major forces have their own secret intelligence organizations, they hid very deeply in the past, and they didn't make any moves. Chen Ziang and the others didn't notice it.
After the Yunxi Restaurant incident, Chen Ziang realized that he underestimated the enemy, so he took this action.
Now that such a large group of enemy spies has been dug out, it is also expected.
What made Chen Ziang gratified was that now the enemy's spies had only infiltrated their banner battalion commander, the chief officer level, and the higher-level people were not involved. It was a blessing in misfortune.
If it is true that the top of the Qinghe Army has been infiltrated, it may be a great loss to their Qinghe Army.
"You lead the team, no matter who is involved, anyone on the list must not be let go."
"After being captured, we still need to interrogate him several times to avoid accidental injury."
Chen Zi'ang quickly handed over the task of arresting Du Jian, the battalion commander of the Qinwei Banner, and asked him to lead the team to take action.
After all, Du Jian, as the battalion commander of the Qinwei Banner, represented Chen Ziang, and no one dared to stop him.
"What about the concubine of Deputy Commander Han?" Du Jian asked for instructions.
It doesn't matter to arrest other people Du Jian, but one of the spies is the concubine of Xinna, the deputy commander of the Third Army, Han Feng, and he dare not make decisions without authorization.
"It's still the same sentence, no matter who is involved, anyone on the list must not be let go."
