Wei Ning nodded, "Although Zhiyu likes to play tricks, he has a good heart. I didn't expect him to cause such a disaster." After a pause, he continued, "He had a discussion with me a few days ago. Brother Shizhen and I designed a tool according to his idea."
Lu Fei asked, "What tool?"
Wei Ning said, "Zhiyu knew that the only weakness of his hidden sentry was that if he was betrayed, he wouldn't be able to use it. Therefore, we designed a tool that can send messages and install it where the sentry is located. As long as someone approaches, it will activate the mechanism and send out a warning signal. At that time, everyone in the residence will know that there is an enemy attack. Moreover, this mechanism is very difficult to break. Even if the enemy knows about our mechanism, if they don't understand the structure, they won't be able to break it."
Lu Fei said, "This idea is very good. I'll have to trouble Grandpa Wei and Uncle Han to install it."
Wei Ning stood up and said, "I'll do it now."
As soon as Wei Ning left, Guan Yu followed in and said, "Big Brother, I ordered the city to be locked down, but the governor's office ordered us to open the city gates immediately because it will affect the people."
Lu Fei's face darkened, "Looks like this is Gongsun Zan's doing again. If I'm not wrong, this time it should be the people from Secluded Night who found Gongsun Zan. The two sides are colluding to kill me and Zhiyu."
Guan Yu said, "Then what do we do next?"
Lu Fei said, "We can't go against the orders of the higher-ups. Otherwise, we'll be caught red-handed. Let's do as he said. As long as we catch the traitor and interrogate him, we won't have to worry about not knowing the whole story."
Guan Yu immediately went to do it. After a while, a servant came to inform them that Han had woken up. Lu Fei immediately rushed over to check on him.
Zhang Fei was guarding the door. When he saw Lu Fei, he said, "Big Brother, Zhiyu wants to see you."
Lu Fei nodded, "Stay here and watch."
Han heard the movement and slowly opened his eyes. He said in an extremely weak voice, "There are four people who know the location of the hidden sentry posts. They are … Feng Yu, Liu Qin, Wang Hong, and Hu Shuang."
Lu Fei said, "Rest well. I'll investigate this matter."
Han closed his eyes again.
Lu Fei walked out of the door and said to Zhang Fei: "Investigate Feng Yu, Liu Qin, Wang Hong, and Hu Shuang now."
Zhang Fei was surprised. "Hu Shuang is a famous general under my command. He has been with me for quite some time."
Lu Fei said, "If there is no other way, these four people will be captured and brought to me."
Zhang Fei acknowledged the order and retreated. Lu Fei, on the other hand, sat under the eaves and waited. After a while, three of the men were escorted to the courtyard, but the last one was not seen for a long time. Lu Fei sat under the eaves with his legs crossed. He was not in a hurry, and just stared at the three men. The three men were frightened by his stare, and lowered their heads.
After a while, Zhang Fei ran over while panting. "Big Brother, Hu Shuang … Hu Shuang ran away."
Lu Fei stood up and said, "You can go back. It's fine now."
The three men were relieved and stood up to leave. Lu Fei looked at their backs and knew that there was no traitor among them. It seemed that the traitor was indeed Hu Shuang, who had fled to avoid punishment. Zhang Fei was unable to restrain his anger. He shouted, "It was indeed that traitor. I saved his life and fed him, but he actually did such a despicable thing."
Lu Fei frowned and asked, "How do you usually treat him?"
Zhang Fei thought for a while and said, "There's nothing wrong with it."
Lu Fei knew that Zhang Fei's alcohol tolerance was not good. He liked to beat people when he was drunk. In addition to his violent temper, many servants were afraid of him. He immediately asked, "Did you beat him when you were drunk?"
Zhang Fei said, "I think there were a few times."
Lu Fei pointed at him and said, "Sooner or later, you will cause a disaster."
Zhang Fei was puzzled. "I feed and drink them. These servants have enough to eat and wear warm clothes. If they do something wrong, of course they will be punished. What's wrong with beating them?"
Lu Fei said, "You have to know that servants are also people. If you are always being whipped and punished, what will you do?"
Zhang Fei said, "Of course I will beat this person up."
Lu Fei said, "Put yourself in his shoes. If you have this idea, what about others? If everyone is happy here, who would be willing to betray their home? If we catch Hu Shuang, I will personally investigate. If this is really the case, third brother, you have to reflect on yourself. " Finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left. Zhang Fei was stunned. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Drinking makes things worse."
Lu Fei passed by Kong Ning's courtyard and walked in. Kong Yi was basking in the sun and sewing clothes. Xiong 'er was playing with the wooden donkey. Lu Fei asked, "Where is big sister?"
Kong Yi said, "She went to the martial arts field with Qing 'er. Do you need them for something?" Putting down the needlework in her hand, Lu Fei said, "If you need anything, let the servants buy it. It is tiring to do it yourself."
Kong Yi said with a smile, "I don't want to eat and drink for free. There is nothing to do here. If I don't sew clothes, what can I do?"
Lu Fei said, "Big Sister and Qinger have already helped me a lot. Just treat it as them doing things for me. You don't have to feel embarrassed. If you have time, go read some books and practice the pipa with Jade Finger. Those are all very good."
Kong Yi said, "How can a woman read and write?"
"Stupid?" Lu Fei laughed and said, "Which one of you three sisters is stupid? Not only are you beautiful, but you are also very smart. Second sister, you must not belittle yourself."
Kong Yi was naturally happy to hear him praise her. She said with a smile, "Among us three sisters, big sister is the most beautiful, and third sister is the smartest. As for me, I happen to be neither."
Lu Fei said seriously, "On the contrary, you happen to have the characteristics of both of them. You are smart and beautiful."
Kong Yi blushed slightly, and her eyes were shining. "Really?"
Lu Fei said with a smile, "How can it be fake? Second sister's beauty is mature and steady, gentle and strong."
"Nonsense." Kong Yi pulled up the clothes around her and continued to work. Lu Fei laughed and walked out of the door. Kong Yi secretly looked at his back, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up into a smile, and her mouth began to hum a song.
Lu Fei went to the martial arts field and saw Kong Ning, Kong Qing, and Dian Wei practicing. Kong Ning was using a narrow and thin sword, which looked like a soft whip when she waved it. Her swordsmanship was tricky and hard to defend against.
