Chapter 155 Scaring the grass and startling the snake (Happy Winter Solstice, readers~)

The next day.

All the servants in the government office were gathered together.

Everyone was wearing iron armor, fully armed, and their faces were a little puzzled.

What happened again?
"Old Hu, you are the one with the best news here, do you know what happened?"

"How do I know that there are people from the Xuanwu Army in this city, and they want to gather us together. I'm afraid it's not a small matter."

"Why are there so many things going on in Shuicheng recently?"

Some people have a helpless tone.

"That's the way it is in this world."

Several yamen servants were talking softly.

At this time Fang Zhongzheng walked in wearing a red robe official uniform with a majestic expression.

More than 100 yamen servants stopped talking in an instant, and stood upright with serious expressions.

"There is a special task for you to perform today, but the specific time has not been set yet, everyone is resting here, but you can't leave the place!"

Fang Zhongzheng looked around and shouted in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison.

Fang Zhongzheng nodded in satisfaction, put his hands on his back, and walked out of the courtyard with steps that his relatives did not recognize.

Not long after he left, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar greeted him.

His name is Ge Hao, and he is a master bookkeeper, an official in charge of documents, books and seals in the government office, with a lot of power.

"Master Fang, gather all the yamen servants, did something happen?"

Master Ge asked seemingly casually.

Fang Zhongzheng glanced at him with sideways eyes.

This Master Ge usually keeps a low profile and is kind to others, so he is quite well received in the government office.

"Just now Master Zhou from the Exorcist Department informed me that he discovered the traitors hidden in the northern part of the city by demonic forces. In order to deceive others, he had to call people from the government office to encircle and suppress them."

Master Ge was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't understand Fang Zhifu's meaning, he frowned and said: Traitor? "

"That's right. It was the traitor who leaked the information to the Bai Ling Mansion, which caused us to suffer such huge casualties a few days ago."

Having said this, Fang Zhongzheng's tone became more serious.

"In short, we will never tolerate this kind of traitor! According to the law of the Great Yin, all the nine clans will be imprisoned, and everyone will be executed!"

Master Ge also nodded heavily, and echoed: "Your Excellency is right, this kind of traitor must be dealt with strictly!"

The two chatted casually for a few more words before leaving.

Next, Fang Zhongzheng also casually walked around the government office.

There were also three or four officials who intentionally or unintentionally asked him for news.

In this regard, Fang Zhongzheng also knew everything, and he seemed to be in a state of dismay.

After walking around, Fang Zhongzheng returned to his room.

Inside sat a heroic young man.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Zhou You.

"Lord Zhou, how are you sure there will be traitors in our government office?" Fang Zhongzheng asked with a puzzled expression.

Zhou You quietly appeared in his room before light this morning, and was taken aback.

But when he heard Zhou You's request, he was also shocked, and he didn't expect to find out the traitor and found it in the government office.

That's right, it was Zhou You's idea to gather all the yamen servants temporarily today and spread the news.

"Not necessarily a traitor." Zhou You shook his head, "It may also be the person who leaked it."

"After all, the Bailing Mansion is hiding in the city. It is impossible to know this information for no reason. We can only inquire about it through certain channels."

"The most simple and direct way is to lurk in the government office, but this is too dangerous. After all, our demon slayers have a very close relationship with the government office. Maybe one day we will be seen through."

"Another situation is that someone in the government office leaked information to the potential traitor."

"It's more subtle that way. It's more subtle."

Zhou You finished his analysis in one breath.

After Fang Zhongzheng finished listening, he also nodded slightly.

"However, how can you be sure that you can startle the snake?" Fang Zhongzheng was still a little puzzled.

"Because you mentioned the north of the city." Zhou You smiled slightly.

Last night, he speculated that traitors were lurking in the north and east of the city, but the difference between the two is that the east of the city is a commercial area, while the north of the city is a residential area for dignitaries and rich people.

In terms of probability, Zhou You thinks that the Chengbei District will be bigger.

With no clues now, he can only take a risk and take a gamble.

If I hadn't made a mistake in my bet, the person who leaked the news from the government office would naturally have some disturbances in his heart after knowing that the target today was the north of the city.

When the mind is disturbed, it will do some extremely stupid things.

After Master Ge bid farewell to Fang Zhifu, he returned to the room where he was working, and kept walking back and forth, seemingly very disturbed.

"Master, what's going on today?" A small official asked curiously when he saw Master Ge like this.

"It's all right." Master Ge came back to his senses at this moment, knowing that he had lost his composure, he waved his hand to indicate that he was all right, and sat back in his seat.

But he kept drinking the tea, even if there was only tea dregs left in the teacup.

"Just now Master Zhou from the Exorcist Department informed me that he discovered the traitors hidden in the northern part of the city by demonic forces. In order to deceive others, he had to call people from the government office to encircle and suppress them."

Today's Master Ge, Fang Zhongzheng's words, and two bloody idioms are constantly echoing in his mind.

"The whole family is copied and chopped, and the nine clans are implicated!"

Master Ge's face became paler.

"No, no," Master Ge murmured a few times, then stood up suddenly.

He said to one of his confidantes on weekdays: "I have some things to deal with at home, and I am in a hurry to go back. If Mr. Fang finds me, just say that I have diarrhea in the toilet, and don't say anything else."

The confidant official also tactfully did not ask why, but agreed without hesitation.

Master Ge left in a hurry.

With a guilty conscience, he naturally would not choose to leave at the gate, but sneaked away at the back door.

Unfortunately, he didn't realize that there were a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.

"Hehe. There is no place to find if you break through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get here." Taoist Wu Liang's obese body also quietly emerged from the shadows.

After a while, Zhou You and Fang Zhongzheng also walked over.

"I didn't expect it was Master Ge." Fang Zhongzheng sighed.

Today, when Mr. Ge was the first to inquire about the news with himself, he had a faint premonition in his heart.

Now, that premonition has come true.

"Master Fang, leave it to me to deal with it." Zhou You said softly.

"It should be so." Fang Zhongzheng naturally wouldn't cover up his subordinates in the face of big right and wrong.

What's more, he doesn't have the ability to cover up.

After all, the knife in Zhou You's hand is not a vegetarian.

Zhou You gave Fatty Wu Liang a look, and the two followed Master Ge quietly.

It is not difficult for a warrior, a spiritual cultivator, to follow a powerless scholar.

Master Ge's expression was hurried, and he didn't notice that there were two more tails behind him.
