“Let him in.”

Hearing it was about the Divine Martial Camp, Xiao Zeyu’s expression instantly turned solemn, and he immediately let him in.

Su Qing no longer argued with Xiao Zeyu and sat next to him.

The rats were on the move!

The General of the Divine Martial Camp was brought into the Yangxin Hall by a eunuch and knelt on the ground as soon as he entered.

“Reporting to the emperor, last night we caught a spy spying on the Divine Martial Camp.”

“Bring him in.”

Xiao Zeyu’s spirits were lifted. He had set up an inescapable net and was waiting for them to come.

“He committed suicide.”

The general lowered his head in shame. The main reason was that before they could control the spy, he had already taken poison and committed suicide. There was no time to find the poison in his mouth.

“Bring the corpse here and see if any of the men in black are missing. We must investigate in secret and not alert them.”

Su Qing spoke from the side. Xiao Zeyu was very happy that Su Qing was willing to deal with government affairs with him again. This meant that Su Qing was no longer angry with him.

The General only heard the Empress’ order and dared not leave before the Emperor spoke. Xiao Zeyu waved his hand at him,

“Do as the Empress says.”

“Yes.”

The general had long heard people say that the Emperor respected the empress, which is the case today.

After the general left, Xiao Zeyu said to Su Qing,

“Why don’t we arrest them all!”

“There’s no hurry. They’re all under our control anyway.”

Su Qing wanted to cast a long line to catch the mastermind. None of them could escape anyway.

“How about this: spread the news of that person committing suicide last night so as not to alert the enemy.”

Xiao Zeyu saw that Su Qing wanted to catch the person behind the scenes, so she suggested that the spy’s suicide be publicized.

As for how to spread it, it naturally couldn’t be an announcement. The best way was to spread it through someone else’s mouth.

At noon, a group of soldiers from the Divine Martial Camp arrived at the restaurant. They entered the restaurant and asked for a private room. They had just entered the restaurant when they were noticed and were being watched.

These soldiers of the Divine Martial Camp ordered a dozen dishes, and after a while, they began to drink. They didn’t speak too loudly, but they could still be heard clearly from the door.

In the private room next door, a man wearing a blue brocade robe was listening to the conversation with a gloomy expression.

“Brothers, yesterday I found out about a spy. I received a worthy reward of five taels of silver. You don’t have to stand on ceremony with me.”

“Brother Liu, you will be promoted after making a great contribution.”

“Haha, thanks for your good words. If I get promoted, I’ll treat everyone to a drink.”

It sounded like a soldier who had rendered meritorious service had brought everyone here to show off. It was a little smug.

“Have they caught him?”

Someone asked. The blue-clothed man in the next room stood up and pressed his ear against the wall. His eyes were focused on eavesdropping on the voices next door.

“Cough! Don’t mention it. Before we could hold that person down, he committed suicide and became a corpse. However, our leader said that we had to say that we caught the person.”

The voice next door was much lower, but the blue-robed man could still hear it. When he heard that the captured person was dead, his expression relaxed. He sat back in his seat and drank calmly.

After two hours of drinking, the man in blue left the private room after he had eaten and drunk his fill.

Xiao Zeyu sat in Yangxin Palace Hall, listening to the report from the secret agent.

“Reporting to the emperor, the bait has been released.”

“Are those men in black lacking people?”

Xiao Zeyu nodded and asked about the Japanese pirates that Su Qing suspected.

“One person is missing, but when he left, he said he wanted to go home.”

The secret agent continued to report. Xiao Zeyu nodded his head after listening to the report. This was a plan that the men in black had made. After being caught, they committed suicide. When the investigation was carried out, they said they had already left.

He was indeed cunning!

“Alright, pass down the order to proceed according to plan.”

Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing were playing a big chess game, and they didn’t just want to catch these few shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
