Chapter 1619 Who Is the Traitor?
Apart from the county lieutenant Wu Dayou, the only one who can fully control the actions of the city guards is Wei Ying.
Secret operations are always known to bandits, and Wu Dayou suspects Wei Ying, and there are indeed traces to follow.
Of course, the possibility of a traitor within the City Guards cannot be ruled out.
Chen Yang asked: "Why do you doubt Wei Ying?"
Wu Dayou said: "There was a previous operation. In order to prevent the news from leaking, I ordered all the city guards not to leave the military camp, to supervise each other, and not to pass anything out. But who knows, in the end the news was learned by the bandits. , to evacuate early. If I had not told Wei Ying about our actions at that time, I would have had a showdown with him."
Chen Yang asked a few more questions, and Wu Dayou's answers finally completely cleared him of suspicion.
"It looks like the traitor is not him."
Chen Yang thought to himself, and then lifted the Heart-Questioning Formation.
Wu Dayou's eyes regained their vitality, and his face no longer had a dull expression.
He was stunned for a moment, feeling that he had experienced something just now, but he couldn't remember anything.
He looked at Chen Yang warily and said, "Inspector Chen, what did you just do to me?"
Chen Yang did not hide anything and said truthfully: "I suspect that there is a traitor in Wuchong County. I just used the formation to disrupt your mind and asked you a few questions. Now you have been cleared of suspicion."
"You actually doubt me!?"
Wu Dayou showed displeasure, and then said in shock: "By the way, what did you just say, formation?"
Chen Yang said: "Yes, the formation I just set up last night."
Wu Dayou had a look of surprise on his face. Although he had not cultivated his spiritual consciousness, the formation that could confuse his mind was probably of a high level.
Then Chen Yang's formation level must be extraordinary.
Wu Dayou understood and suddenly said: "I wonder why the emperor would send a peak alchemy cultivator as an inspection envoy. It turns out that you are an array master. It seems that you still have two skills."
Chen Yang said: "You told me just now that you suspected Wei Ying was a traitor. Tomorrow night, come to my place in advance, and I will ask Wei Ying to come over. Then we will ask together to see if he is a traitor."
Wu Dayou said: "Nine times out of ten, he is."
…
The next night, Wu Dayou arrived early.
Chen Yang asked him to hide and wait for Wei Ying to arrive.
After a while, Wei Ying also arrived.
He entered the room, saw the delicacies on the table, and said with a smile: "Inspector Chen hosted a banquet. Wei Ying is very grateful."
"Chief Wei, please sit down."
Chen Yang asked Wei Ying to sit down, poured Wei Ying a glass of wine, and said, "Chief Wei, the banditry issue is really difficult to deal with."
Wei Ying sighed and said: "Because of this matter, I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past few months. But those bandits are so cunning that they can't find any clues about them. And every time there is a clue, , they slipped away immediately.”
With that said, Wei Ying toasted Chen Yang with a glass of wine, and then said: "I suspect that there is a traitor in our Wuchong County who passed the news about our arrest of the bandit to the bandit."
Chen Yang was surprised and asked: "Oh, is there such a thing?"
Wei Ying said: "Of course, this is just my guess."
"Come on, let's drink first."
Chen Yang wanted to pour wine for Wei Ying again. Wei Ying quickly took the jug and poured it for Chen Yang respectfully. Then he poured a glass for himself and said, "Inspector Chen, you have worked hard these days. I offer you this glass of wine.”
"You're welcome, Sheriff Wei."
Chen Yang smiled slightly and drank it all in one gulp.
The two were chatting and drinking.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Yang triggered the Questioning Heart Formation.
Wei Ying, who was talking eloquently, suddenly froze his movements, slowly lowered his hands, and his eyes lost their sparkle.
Seeing this, Wu Dayou, who had been hiding for a long time, couldn't wait to show up, looked at the dull Wei Ying, and said to Chen Yang: "Inspector Chen, was I like this yesterday?"
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Of course."
Wu Dayou said in shock: "Your formation is too powerful."
"Don't rush to praise me, let's ask Wei Ying first." Chen Yang looked at Wei Ying and said, "Wei Ying, are you colluding with the bandits?"
Wei Ying said: "No."
No? !
After receiving this answer, Wu Dayou and Chen Yang were stunned for a moment, and they looked at each other.
After a moment of silence, Wu Dayou said: "Inspector Chen, there won't be any problems with your formation, right?"
Chen Yang said: "You just experienced it yesterday, do you think there is any problem?"
"That's right. I, the third level extraordinary person, tell the truth in front of you. He, the first level extraordinary person, will definitely be confused by the formation."
Wu Dayou looked helpless and said, "But if he is not a traitor, why would all the information about my previous actions be known to the thieves?"
Chen Yang said: "There may be a traitor, someone else."
Wu Dayou said: "It seems that this matter needs to be investigated carefully, otherwise, the bandits will never be eliminated."
Looking at Wei Ying, Wu Dayou said with a sneer: "I didn't expect that I wrongly blamed the Governor Wei."
Chen Yang said: "You go first, I will deal with him. Just pretend what happened tonight never happened."
Wu Dayou thought for a moment. If Wei Ying found out that he and Chen Yang were interrogating him, there might be a rift between the two of them, which would be detrimental to the management of Wuchong County in the future.
So Wu Dayou said goodbye and left to avoid meeting Wei Ying.
Chen Yang stared at Wei Ying for a long time, then he lay on the table, pretending to be drunk, and quietly released the Qinxin Formation.
Wei Ying shuddered, looking at Chen Yang lying on the table, with a bewildered expression on his face, muttering: "What happened, we were drinking just now, how come Chen Xunshi suddenly got drunk."
Rubbing his head, Wei Ying muttered: "What happened just now, seems to be drunk?"
"Forget it, put Chen Xunshi on the bed first, I should go back to the mansion."
While talking, Wei Ying carried Chen Yang on his back and put him on the bed, and then he left Chen Yang's yard alone.
After Wei Ying left, Chen Yang jumped up from the bed, waved his right hand, and a set of array plates of the Questioning Heart Array fell into his hands.
Putting the array plates into the ring, Chen Yang's eyes flashed with brilliance, and muttered: "This matter seems to be more complicated than I thought."
The next day, Chen Yang went to the county governor's mansion early in the morning, just like the previous few days.
Unexpectedly, Wu Dayou arrived before him and was already discussing things with Wei Ying.
Seeing Chen Yang coming in, Wu Dayou said excitedly: "Patron Chen, early this morning, we received news that we found the whereabouts of the bandits."
Chen Yang's eyes lit up and asked: "Oh? Where are they?"
Wu Dayou said: "There is a dense forest between Jiangkou Town and Mawu Town. There is a Taoist temple in the forest called Yunhuo Temple. It used to be very popular, but later it was abandoned. Now those bandits are stationed there."
Wei Ying said: "Patron Chen, there is no time to lose. Let's gather our troops and go to capture the bandits."
Chen Yang pondered for a moment and nodded: "Action now."
