Hour Xu and Ye Wu'er hurriedly entered Bingxiao Tower.
As the largest Spy leader within Xiazhu, he had recently achieved remarkable feats.
First, he established a good relationship with Wei Zichu, the Deputy Minister of War of Xiazhu, at a banquet, stealing the defensive deployment map of the Xiazhu military. Then, while drunk, he snuck into Wei Zichu's Administrative Hall and stole the Capital Defense Map of the Xiazhu military.
Both pieces of intelligence were classified as top secret, and as a result, Ye Wu'er received a reward of one thousand taels of gold from the Yingzhou Emperor, while Song Donggui was commended by the Minister of War of Yingzhou.
Ye Wu'er felt very proud; he believed he had realized his life's value. He was not only a hero of the Yingzhou, but also a legend in the spy world, and his name would surely be remembered in history!
Just as Ye Wu'er was immersed in his fantasies, Tian Shiyi suddenly sent someone to deliver a letter to him. The content of the letter was simple: half an hour later, in Room Three of the Tianzi section of Bingxiao Tower, there would be an important intelligence report.
Without hesitation, Ye Wu'er tidied up his clothes, put on his hat, and headed straight to Bingxiao Tower.
He pushed open the door to Room Three; it was slightly ajar and not locked.
There was no one in the room, but Ye Wu'er heard some movement coming from the bedroom. He quietly walked over and lifted the curtain of the bedroom.
He did not see Tian Shiyi, but instead saw a young and beautiful woman dressed in a fitted qipao.
The woman had an excellent figure and fair skin, especially her captivating eyes, which instantly caught Ye Wu'er's attention.
However, being a seasoned Spy, he quickly realized that something was off. He hurriedly dropped the curtain and turned to leave.
But it was too late; three burly men rushed in and pinned him to the ground.
Ye Wu'er tried to struggle, but his strength was far from enough.
At that moment, a young man walked in. He wore glasses and appeared refined.
"Who are you?"
Ye Wu'er asked fiercely.
"Constable of the Nanjian Government Office, Ye Yifan."
"Constable?"
Ye Wu'er was taken aback, then quickly reacted.
"You are framing me!"
"Framing you? We saw you trying to assault that woman with our own eyes!"
"That's a false accusation!"
"Whether it's a false accusation or not, you'll find out when you come back with us. Take him away!"
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yifan signaled for two burly men to escort Ye Wu'er out. Ye Wu'er struggled continuously, but his strength was insignificant against the two trained spies.
As they brought him downstairs, the guests in the tavern gathered around. Ye Yifan spoke loudly on purpose, fearing others wouldn't hear.
"This man is a rogue; he actually dared to attempt to assault a woman in broad daylight. It's outrageous!"
Ye Wu'er was so furious he nearly spat blood. He had never experienced such humiliation in his life, yet he felt utterly powerless.
...
Ye Wu'er was taken to the dungeon of the Nanjian Government Office's Constable Office, where Ye Yifan sat opposite him, holding a document.
"Name,"
Ye Yifan asked.
"You've got it wrong, I'm not a Spy, my name is Niu'er, I'm a Liuzhou Native, here in Nanjiang for business."
Ye Wu'er said.
"Business? Hmph!"
Ye Yifan snorted coldly.
"Have you ever seen a merchant who carries a dagger and hidden weapons? Have you ever seen a merchant who spends all day with people from the Yingzhou Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Have you ever seen a merchant who sends letters and silver to Yingzhou?"
Ye Yifan asked three questions in a row, leaving Ye Wu'er speechless.
"I advise you to tell the truth, or you'll suffer the consequences."
"I'm telling the truth."
Ye Wu'er remained stubborn.
"It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
