Thinking of the contrast in Lu Changshan's identity, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Then he asked casually: "Hey, Yan Shouyi, do you have any basis for saying this?"

Yan Shouyi said somewhat awkwardly: "Grandpa Mountain God, please forgive me for laughing. I haven't found one yet. It's just Shouyi's guess."

Xu Boan was speechless after hearing this. It is inappropriate for you to make direct guesses about such a serious matter!

However, Xu Boan was not too angry. After all, Yan Shouyi was an experienced veteran in the military, and he naturally had his reasons for saying that.

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an asked, "Tell me, what is the basis for your guess that Lu Changshan is a remnant of the former Liang Dynasty?"

Yan Shouyi sneered and said, "This guy is very stubborn and refuses to say anything, but we checked him carefully and found the words 'Anti-Jing and Restore Liang' tattooed on the bottom of his feet! This is a mark that only some stubborn remnants of the former Liang have, so we can basically determine his identity as a remnant of the former Liang."

Upon hearing this, Xu Bo'an was speechless.

Oh, this is a really thorough inspection. I guess they stripped the clothes before inspecting it.

But the effect is really obvious.

When Xu Boan heard that Lu Changshan had a tattoo on the sole of his foot, he couldn't help but find it a little funny.

He had heard of this kind of operation when he was reading a novel before.

At that time, Xu Bo'an was really puzzled. Rebellion is such a dangerous thing, one should try every means to hide one's identity. Why are there some people who are so desperate to cause trouble for themselves, create dangers even when there is no danger, and test themselves?

Hearing that these people from Qianliang were also doing such a strange thing, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but complain: "What on earth are these guys thinking? They dare to tattoo such words on their bodies. Aren't they asking for trouble?"

Yan Shouyi explained: "Grandpa Mountain God, you are a god with magical powers, so naturally you think this is not a big deal, but for us mortals, once we get tattooed, we can never get rid of it in this lifetime, so these words can allow the remnants of the former Liang Dynasty to quickly identify each other.

In addition, these people are doing things secretly after all, and the dangers and pressures they face are very great, so they are likely to waver. They may be very interested in the work for the first two days, but later they feel it is dangerous and want to quit.

This situation is very dangerous! They did this to warn themselves that there is no way out. They also forced other people to get tattooed. In this way, they can force themselves and other allies to go on and there will be no chance to regret!

Moreover, not all the remnants of the former Liang would have tattoos on their feet. Those who had tattoos on their feet were usually people of a certain status among these people, and their identities that they usually concealed were also high enough to be superior to others. Generally speaking, no one would notice the tattoos on such a hidden part of his feet. "

Xu Bo'an nodded when he heard this and understood a little.

After all, things like this are done in secret, and it is impossible for members of such a large organization to know each other.

In this case, it would be much easier to identify if there was a unified logo.

Moreover, the current technological level of Dajing City is not enough for them to remove the tattoos without leaving any traces, and burn scars will be too obvious. Therefore, having this thing is equivalent to a token of allegiance, and it will be difficult to escape and defect!

From this point of view, the truth that Lu Changshan is a remnant of the Former Liang Dynasty is basically true.

However, Xu Boan was still very curious. Since there was already such evidence, a typical hammer, why was this guy still so stubborn?

As soon as the thought left his head, Xu Boan came back to his senses.

This kind of crime of treason is punishable by death, and if things go wrong, the entire nine generations of the family may be implicated.

Only a fool would admit this.

If you hold on for one more day, you can live one more day, and maybe there will be a turn for the better. If you die, it will be the end of everything, and there will be no chance.

However, this trick is usually used to deal with officials. Doesn’t Lu Changshan know that he is also facing a group of rebels!

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an turned and asked, "Does Lu Changshan know your identities?"

Yan Shouyi shook his head, smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "We have told him, but he doesn't believe it at all."

After a pause, Yan Shouyi continued, "And he insisted that he had someone tattoo him as a disguise in order to facilitate his investigation of the remnants of the Former Liang. Then he asked to see the Taotai, and after that, he refused to say anything."

Xu Boan sneered. Although Yan Shouyi and his men said they were going to revolt, they were still wearing the clothes, shoes and hats issued by the Dajing Dynasty. Of course, there was nothing they could do about it. After all, their preparations were not very sufficient!
It wouldn't matter on normal days, but now Yan Shouyi and his men are dressed like this to interrogate Lu Changshan, and they are telling him that they are rebelling. I believe that anyone would think that this is a trick and it would be strange for them to confess.

What's more, Lu Changshan now has the support of the highest official in this place. As long as he speaks up, the matter will surely be settled!

So of course Lu Changshan wanted to meet his backer before making any plans!
Therefore, Lu Changshan’s current choice is definitely the wisest one.

Xu Bo'an sneered and said, "Lu Changshan has come up with a good excuse. He instantly transformed himself from a remnant of the former Liang Dynasty who deserved death to an extraordinary person who was willing to join the game to eliminate the remnants of the former Liang Dynasty."

Yan Shouyi nodded in agreement and said, "Who said it wasn't true? I don't know what to do after being tormented by him like this. If he is a government soldier, I can destroy him. But if he is really the remnant of the former Liang Dynasty, I am now engaged in rebellion. We are all miserable people. Why should I destroy him?
Xu Bo'an asked curiously, "Have you ever thought of using him as a threat to negotiate with the people in the Taotai Yamen? After all, no matter what, at least his identity as the Taotai's mentor is confirmed."

Yan Shouyi was stunned when he heard this. He widened his eyes and said in astonishment: "Grandpa Mountain God, what did you say? This Lu Changshan, he is actually the mentor of the Taotai?"

Xu Bo'an then remembered that Yan Xiaojiu had just told him not long ago that Lu Changshan was the master of the Taoist priest, but Yan Shouyi didn't know the news yet.

Xu Boan responded, "That's right. The governor in the Qingyun Daotai Yamen, your Daotai, is the disciple of Lu Changshan."

Yan Shouyi slapped his thigh and said, "No wonder this kid is so arrogant and speaks so arrogantly. He wants to see the prefect. I have been working in the government for so many years, but I have only met the prefect a few times.

It turns out this guy actually has such a background! I was just thinking that he was dreaming, how could he meet the Taotai? It seems that I have become the frog in the well who only sees the world from a well. "

Xu Bo'an laughed and said, "You don't have to belittle yourself. No matter how powerful he is, he still fell into your hands." Yan Shouyi chuckled twice and said modestly, "It's just good luck. If I really wanted to catch him, I might not dare to go so hastily."

Xu Boan asked curiously: "Oh? Tell me what's going on!"

Yan Shouyi smiled strangely and said, "Grandpa Mountain God, to be honest, I am just lucky. You gave me the magic weapon that can make me fly. I couldn't sleep at night, so I practiced using this magic weapon.

As luck would have it, I flew to the wrong place and got lost because I was not familiar with the place. I did not expect to see this guy scolding a villager in an official manner.
Before I led the team into the mountains to suppress the bandits, I stopped by the village in front of the mountain to rest and drink water. I knew that the family was honest, and when I saw the situation, I thought that the guy was a corrupt official. I was furious, so I went over and unexpectedly gave him a hidden weapon, and successfully captured the guy. "

When Xu Bo'an heard this, he was stunned. He didn't expect that the actual situation of the attack described by the yamen was actually like this.

Thinking of this, Xu Boan suddenly remembered that the letter to Yan Xiaojiu said that Lu Changshan was dead!
But now Lu Changshan is still alive and well!

I really don't know what kind of complicated inside information is involved in this matter.

Could it be that, judging from the Daotai's thoughts, he also hopes that Lu Changshan disappears?

The more Xu Bo'an thought about it, the more curious he became. He simply told Yan Shouyi, "Yan Shouyi, how about this? I have nothing to do right now. Go and bring Lu Changshan over here. I'll help you interrogate him!"

Yan Shouyi immediately responded: "I understand, I'll do it right away!"

After a while, Yan Shouyi's men escorted an elderly man with disheveled hair into the temple.

Seeing that he was sloppy, Xu Boan was too lazy to look at him carefully. After all, Xu Boan was only curious about this matter, and not curious about the appearance of an old man.

Xu Bo'an immediately started a one-on-one chat mode and told Yan Shouyi: "I'll tell you, you just ask Lu Changshan."

Yan Shouyi nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Xu Boan said, "Okay, let's get started!"

Yan Shouyi was delighted when he heard this and said, "Lu Changshan, right? No wonder you want to see the Taotai. It turns out that you are the Taotai's mentor."

Lu Changshan smiled contemptuously and said in a cold voice: "Haha, you are scared now, right? If you know, then just let me out!"

Xu Bo'an was delighted when he heard this, and immediately sent a message: "Tell her that he can't be released! Otherwise, he will be retaliated against and that will only cause trouble for you. If you have this little worry, you might as well take action and kill him directly, so that the Taotai will not believe his slander and cause trouble for you again!"

Yan Shouyi immediately said to Lu Changshan, "Haha, let you go? Wait for you to come back and take revenge on us? I think we should just kill you. No matter how much we investigate, we will definitely not find anything on me! Otherwise, we will bring trouble to ourselves!"

When Lu Changshan heard this, he was stunned, because he realized that if the other party really did this, he really had no good way to deal with it.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves!
Lu Changshan was immediately shaken.

Soon, Yan Shouyi and Lu Changshan had a detailed conversation and inquiries.

Finally, Lu Changshan let down his inner defenses and managed to stammer out some inside information.

There is no doubt that Lu Changshan is indeed the descendant of an important official of the former Liang Dynasty. He even explained in detail that he had secret connections with bandits, government soldiers, and was also connected with the White Cotton Sect.

Lu Changshan has been thriving in these years, on the one hand because of his superior status, and on the other hand because he has trained some bandits who would come to suppress the bandits every now and then to earn some merits for himself, so that he would appear more indispensable and always be valued!

The interrogation went on quickly. After Lu Changshan was suppressed, Yan Shouyi was about to ask the Mountain God what to do next when he heard the Mountain God speak first.

"Let him go!" Xu Bo'an ordered.

Yan Shouyi was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked: "Ah? Grandpa Mountain God, you mean... release Lu Changshan!"

Xu Boan nodded and said, "That's right, let him go."

After Yan Shouyi received a positive response from the Mountain God, he immediately said, "Yes, I will arrange it right away and release him immediately."

Xu Bo'an was very satisfied with Yan Shouyi's action of carrying out his orders without explanation, and immediately took the initiative to explain: "Since he is from the Former Liang, he is also the enemy of the Dajing court. You know what your current identity is!"

Yan Shouyi nodded and said, "I am following the will of heaven..." Halfway through his words, Yan Shouyi came to his senses and said, "I understand, Grandpa Mountain God. To the Dajing court, I am also their enemy. The remnants of the former Liang are also their enemies. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, isn't that right?"

Xu Boan chuckled. It seemed that everyone understood this principle, even across borders. Where there is wisdom, there is dispute, and where there is dispute, there is a distinction between friends and enemies.

Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "That's right, a friend's friend is not necessarily a friend, but the enemy of my enemy is definitely a friend, so Lu Changshan can be your ally."

Yan Shouyi said, "I understand, Grandpa Mountain God. I will go and release him myself and make sure to maintain a good relationship with him."

Xu Bo'an said: "Not only that, you can also give him some benefits, so that he can't guess your background and see through your trump card. Only in this way can you gain enough initiative and make him wary."

Yan Shouyi said awkwardly: "Ah! Benefits! Then what should I do?"

Xu Bo'an said, "For those of you who are involved in the rebel circle, the most needed things are nothing more than people, weapons and food. You don't even have enough people, so it's impossible for you to give them to him. Besides, even if you send him people, he will just think you are deliberately planting spies and may not dare to accept them. So you can only work hard on weapons and food."

Yan Shouyi said with a look of shame: "It's just... it's just that I have nothing right now."

Xu Bo'an smiled bitterly and said, "There is nothing. Why are you still playing the rebellion game? Yan Shouyi, ah Yan Shouyi, you are just too thin-skinned. I will take care of this matter. Don't worry."

Just some small things, just a few boxes of instant noodles, ham, pickled mustard tuber, eight-treasure porridge, and braised eggs, which are also fast food products, can handle it! (End of this chapter)
