In the dark prison of Dali Temple, Yang Tian looked desperately at the ray of light above his head. Although this prison was far less eerie and terrifying than the Yushitai black prison he built by himself, it was still enough to destroy his will.

Maybe it was because he killed too many innocent people, Yang Tian was especially afraid of death, he was afraid that those people would turn into ghosts and come to demand debts from him, he just enjoyed the glory and wealth, but in a blink of an eye, the glory and wealth were shattered.

He stayed up all night last night, and before Zhou Yuan was executed, he explained everything he knew, even the fact that he was arrested in Chang'an and became an undercover agent of the Han army. Already crashed.

At this moment, when he closed his eyes, he seemed to see those officials who had their heads cut off and their limbs missing came to him to ask for their lives. Yang Xiu, Chen Lin, Cui Yan, Liu Zhen, Ying Yu, Xu Gan, etc. He was brutally tortured and finally executed.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and Yang Tian immediately rushed forward, shouting, "Please forgive me!"

He grabbed the iron railing and yelled loudly, with a crying voice, "Give me my life, I am willing to say anything!"

The sound of footsteps stopped in front of him, Yang Tian raised his head slowly, but saw Cao Pi's cold eyes, he stretched out his arms and shouted as if meeting a savior: "My son! My son! Help me, I am Your confidant!"

Cao Pi knelt down and asked him, "Tell me first, have you leaked information to the Han army spies? I'm talking about the Xianbei envoy the year before last. I know there are not many people, and you are one of them."

Yang Tian lowered his head timidly, and said for a while, "I leaked the secret."

"Very well, where are you? To whom did you give away the secret?"

Yang Tian begged: "If I say so, will the prince spare my life?"

"Say it! I will consider it."

"I was in the Sanjin Tavern and revealed the secret to Li Fu."

"Li Fu? Who is this person?"

"He used to be Yuan Shao's aide, and later surrendered to Liu Jing. He should be the leader of the Han army in Yedu!"

This news really surprised Cao Pi. He immediately stood up and walked towards the gate of the prison. Yang Tian didn't expect Cao Pi to leave without giving himself any explanation. , The case of the Seven Sons of Jian'an was given by you, and I followed your instructions completely, so you can't leave me alone!"

Cao Pi stopped in his tracks, a flash of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, he looked back at Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan nodded knowingly, half an hour later, news came from Dali Prison that Yang Tian had committed suicide in fear of crime

In Tongque Palace, Cao Pi reported Yang Tian’s confession to his father Cao Cao. Cao Cao slammed his fist on the table and hated him, “It turns out that he is an undercover agent of the Han army. No wonder Chang’an has no important information. No wonder I didn’t know about the Han army attack Jiaozhou must have been concealed by him, immediately search his mansion to find out all the information hidden by him."

"Haier has already sent people there, and Haier suggested appointing Dali Cheng Zhou Yuan as Yushi Zhongcheng, in charge of foreign intelligence."

Cao Cao had a good impression of Zhou Yuan, he nodded, "Yes!"

Cao Pi was overjoyed, he thought it would take a lot of talking, but he didn't expect his father to agree so quickly, and he quickly said: "I want to tell my father, about the information point of the Han army in Chang'an, my son already has a clue."

Cao Cao lifted his spirits and asked, "What eyebrows?"

"Yang Tian explained that he always went to the Sanjin Tavern to provide information. The intelligence leader of the Han Army in Yedu was called Li Fu."

"Li Fu? I seem to have heard of this name before." Cao Cao couldn't remember who this person was for a moment.

"Father should have the impression that this person was originally Yuan Shao's aide. When we besieged Yecheng, this person pretended to be the governor of Cao Jun and sneaked into the city."

When mentioning that incident, Cao Cao suddenly remembered, "It turned out to be him. He was very courageous. I found him later, but I didn't expect him to surrender to Liu Jing. With this person in Yedu, it's no wonder that the Han Dynasty Spy is so powerful."

Cao Cao asked again: "Have you sent anyone to arrest him?"

"Hail hasn't made a fuss for the time being, but he needs the help of Tiger Benwei."

"When Yang Tian was arrested, they must be vigilant. There should be no further delay. They must be arrested immediately."

Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Let Xu Chu come to see me!"

The news of Yang Tian's arrest first spread in the official circles, and then spread to the people. The Sanjin Tavern in the south of the city is still open as usual, with light business and very few customers. Although it is a loss-making business, the Sanjin Tavern is a Han army A point in the intelligence network cannot be closed.

In the huge intelligence network of the Han army, the Sanjin Tavern is just a very small point. The real intelligence spy is only the shopkeeper, and the rest of the bartenders don't know about it. But the main function of this intelligence point is to connect Li Fu and Yang Tian. .

Early in the morning, not long after the tavern opened, shopkeeper Wang heard the sound of firecrackers coming from all over the city. He didn't know what happened, so he asked a bartender to inquire about the news. Not long after, the bartender came back and reported that it was Yu Shi Zhongcheng Yang Tian who had been arrested. .

This news surprised shopkeeper Wang. Although he hated Yang Tian's brutality like ordinary people, Yang Tian was an important source of information for the Han army, especially since he was in direct contact with Li Fu every time. Li Fu confessed?

Due to the sensitivity of intelligence personnel, shopkeeper Wang immediately asked the bartenders to close the tavern and go home, while he ran to look for Li Fu.

Although Li Fu was the intelligence chief of the Han army in Yedu, he was promoted to Sima last year, and Sima was above him as a military adviser, which already belonged to the senior civilian position of the Han army, but Li Fu still had an old problem that could not be changed, he was fond of wine and lust.

He has no family, is single, and spends most of his time in brothels. He especially likes the Baiyulou in Yedu. He is a frequent visitor here, and spends most of his time in brothels.

Today is no exception. Li Fu woke up early in the morning and changed into two women, hugging left and right to drink and have fun. What he drank was the fruit wine brewed by the brothel. Yedu issued a ban on alcohol the year before last, prohibiting the use of grain to make wine , but now it is a little more relaxed, allowing places such as taverns, brothels, and hostels to make fruit wine, but it is not allowed to be sold outside, and it can only be used for personal use.

The reason why Li Fu likes Baiyulou is because the flower pear wine brewed here is very suitable for him, and the women are second. Li Fu was drinking, at this time, a maid ran in and said: "Mr. The shopkeeper of Wang's tavern looked for him and said it was something urgent."

The two women next to her laughed, "But you came to ask Li Shijun for the wine debt?"

The reason why Liu Jing tolerated his lust and greed was that Li Fu was very clear about public and private affairs, and would never get in the way because of sex. Li Fu immediately understood that something had happened. He pushed the two women away, and walked out without looking back. Just in time, I met shopkeeper Wang who was jumping in a hurry.

He pulled Shopkeeper Wang aside and said in a low voice, "What happened?"

"My lord, let's go! Yang Tian has been arrested."

Li Fu was also surprised, and asked again: "When did it happen?"

"I don't know, early this morning, firecrackers were set off everywhere in the city to celebrate?"

"Is the tavern surrounded?"

"Not yet, if I'm surrounded, can I still come out?"

Li Fu pondered for a moment, Yang Tian was probably arrested last night, and he did not confess to them last night, otherwise the tavern would have been surrounded long ago, of course he can leave the city now, but he still has some important information about his residence, including a He had to burn the list of intelligence spies before he could leave.

Thinking of this, Li Fu said to the shopkeeper: "Leave Yedu now and go to Guo's Manor to hide for a while. I'll go back to my place and come right over."

Li Fu is an extremely shrewd and capable person, he considers the issue carefully, all the intelligence personnel did not bring their family members, so as not to be dragged down, and shopkeeper Wang also has no family members in the city, so he immediately left the Baiyu Tower and headed for the city gate.

Li Fu got on his horse and ran towards his place. His place was near the Sanjin Tavern. Li Fu didn't take the main street, but ran along the small streets and alleys. He was about to run out of an alley. , but suddenly reined in his horse, he saw more than a dozen soldiers running across the street in front of him, these soldiers were all tiger guards wearing tiger helmets, Cao Cao's bodyguards, if they appeared, something important must happen.

Li Fu immediately got off his horse and entrusted the horse to a small shop. He put on his thick jacket on his back, tore off his head scarf, messed up his hair, smeared black mud on his face and body, and found a piece of dog shit to smear on his body. Become sluggish, looking like an old beggar who just woke up from a corner.

Li Fu walked out of the alley slowly, this is a South Gate Street, the Sanjin Tavern is dozens of steps away, and his accommodation is in an alley opposite.

At this time, the Sanjin Tavern was surrounded by soldiers from the Huben Guard. The store door was kicked open. Patrolling around with a knife, looking for suspicious people on the street.

Li Fu walked slowly, and there happened to be two Huben Guard soldiers standing in front of him, blocking his way, and they looked at him suspiciously, Li Fu didn't dodge, but went up to him with a smile on his face, "Master Jun, what happened in the tavern?" ? Can I eat for free?"

His obscene smile and the stench of dog feces on his body made the two soldiers almost vomit immediately. The two soldiers quickly avoided and cursed: "Where is the beggar, get out!"

Li Fu pointed to the alley with a smile, and walked slowly into the alley. The people standing at the entrance of the alley covered their noses and avoided it. No one recognized him. The stinking beggar is Uncle Li, who is usually smug.

Li Fu quickly burned the important information when he returned to his place of residence, and soon left Yedu City. Not long after he left, the entire Yedu City began an earth-shaking search.
