Chapter 556 Error leaked
"Woo~ I've just confessed, it's Jiang Youzhen." The spy's voice was not loud, but it made everyone present look different.
Jiang Youzhen narrowed her eyes. It seemed that the person behind this hadn't given up yet! One thing after another, he had to put the blame on her.
Zhu Zhimin glanced at Jiang Youzhen with a very unfriendly look.
"You said that it was Jiang Youzhen who ordered it. Do you have any evidence?" asked the second prince.
"I have correspondence with him. She booked a room in Fuyun Pavilion, and I always put the letters in that room.
If you don't believe me, go to Fuyun Pavilion and check. The shopkeeper there knows me, and it just so happens that she probably didn't have time to pick up the message I sent her yesterday."
The spy spoke intermittently some words that surprised everyone. Jiang Youzhen's expression turned cold. He really was putting on a complete show.
"Come here, send someone to investigate at Fuyun Pavilion." Zhu Zhimin ordered immediately.
Fuyun Pavilion was jointly opened by Jiang Youzhen and Tong Huaian. Although it is impossible for other guests to enter that room on weekdays, there is no guarantee that someone will really put something in it, which is hard to guard against.
Since this person would say this, he must have been prepared.
Jiang Youzhen was thinking quickly about countermeasures in his mind. The shopkeeper would definitely not think so much and would just tell the truth.
"What did you hear yesterday?" This is what the third prince is most concerned about.
"It's the latest blueprint from the Weapons Bureau."
"What?" The third prince was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.
He had worked for the Ordnance Bureau before, and it just so happened that the Ordnance Bureau had developed a new weapon, but there were only methods and drawings, and it had not yet been made and used.
If the drawings of this kind of production are leaked, the enemy will not only make the same, but also develop weapons to counter it. After all, this batch of weapons is specially designed to deal with the outsiders, who are brave and good at fighting, and are extremely difficult to deal with.
If the news about this spy gets out, it will be a disaster for the soldiers on the border.
But how could the drawings that I kept so secret in the secret compartment be stolen?
"Third brother, this time it was really dangerous. If your negligence caused the soldiers on the border to suffer serious damage from their weapons, the emperor would definitely be furious." The second prince was also shocked. He did not expect that the third prince would secretly take on this task.
"That's right! Third brother, it was really dangerous this time. But I am a little curious, how did you catch the spy?" The fourth prince was a little curious. He didn't even know the meeting place of each letter. It was obvious that he didn't find clues and then follow the clues.
In fact, this was just a coincidence. The spy was sneaking around outside his study and was discovered by him. He really knew nothing about it before.
Thinking about it now, he always felt that something was wrong.
Jiang Youzhen was thinking about it, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, giving her an idea of a solution.
"You said that you delivered a letter to Fuyun Pavilion, and on the letter was the blueprint of a new weapon recently developed by the Weapon Bureau. So who are you working for?" Jiang Youzhen suddenly asked.
Zhu Zhimin really wanted to scold Jiang Youzhen for being against the rules, but the three princes immediately looked at him, so he could only keep a sullen face.
"Of course it's outside the pass."
"You said Jiang Youzhen met with you often? Have you ever met her? How could she tell you her real name?"
The spy was exhausted and could not even lift his head, so he naturally could not see Jiang Youzhen in the cell.
"I didn't meet her, but I secretly observed her and knew that the owner of Fuyun Pavilion was familiar with her, so I asked for her name."
"Besides you, who else are the spies? Do you have a list of names?" Jiang Youzhen continued to ask.
The spy shook his head with difficulty, "I don't know. I only revealed the news about the Third Prince's Mansion to her. As for whether there are other spies, I don't know. I have no right to know."
He had refused to say anything before, but now he is speaking out like a bamboo tube pouring out beans. He answers every question and is very cooperative.
The three princes did not express their opinions. They all looked normal, and no one knew what they were thinking. Only Zhu Zhimin looked at Jiang Youzhen with suspicion. Jiang Youzhen was indeed a suspect.
However, Jiang Youzhen laughed, "That means you didn't contact Jiang Youzhen directly, but through your own deduction, you found out that the person who had been staying in that room for a long time was Jiang Youzhen, right?"
"Yes! That room was booked by Jiang Youzhen."
"That doesn't mean that the person you contacted was Jiang Youzhen. How can you be sure?"
"Because I had just delivered the message, and as agreed, I tied a ribbon around the window of the wing room. Within half a day, someone entered the wing room. After the person left, I went in to check, and found that the letter was gone."
The spy seemed to be reminiscing, and after a pause, he said, "Later, I made inquiries from various sources and found out that the person was Jiang Youzhen."
"Oh? Do you remember which day it was?" There was no sign of anxiety on Jiang Youzhen's face.
The spy said without hesitation: "It should be the beginning of the month, the sixth day! I remember it very clearly."
This is in line with the fraud case just now. Liu Gui met Jiang Youzhen on that day. This time Jiang Youzhen can't deny it, right? She herself admitted that she went to Fuyun Pavilion that day.
The second prince frowned. He didn't believe that Jiang Youzhen was collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. The other princes were also thoughtful. The time was indeed right.
However, Jiang Youzhen smiled. "Your confession is full of mistakes and omissions. Didn't anyone tell you that a qualified spy must be careful, bold, and cautious?"
The spy raised his head when he heard this, looking very surprised. When he saw Jiang Youzhen standing in the cell, doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he panicked.
"You did investigate very clearly before. Except for the New Year, Jiang Youzhen's habit is to go to Fuyun Pavilion on the sixth of every month. It basically does not change. The room she booked is Tianzi No. 6, but she did not go to Tianzi No. 6 on the sixth day of this month. That day, she hosted a banquet in Tianzi No. 8 because her friends came from Tongzhou Prefecture and she wanted to play the role of host."
"But I clearly saw her go to room number six. Just because she was hosting a banquet in room number eight doesn't mean she can't go into room number six." The spy's mind was racing at this moment.
Everyone nodded. Although they did not believe that Jiang Youzhen was a spy, this did not conflict with the possibility.
"Impossible!" Jiang Youzhen shook his head affirmatively, "There was someone else in Room 6 that day, and Jiang Youzhen did not go in. This person can testify for her."
Everyone was stunned. The Second Prince was puzzled, and then he thought of someone.
"Who?" Zhu Zhimin didn't want to play tricks.
"Of course it's the Fourth Prince! The Fourth Prince and Tong Huaian were in Room No. 6 that day. They were there until Jiang Youzhen left." Jiang Youzhen deliberately called his name.
Huh? Everyone just felt confused.
Only then did the Fourth Prince stand up, with a hint of sneer on his face.
"That's right! The Japanese palace was indeed in the No. 6 wing of the Fuyun Pavilion, and I was not the only one there that day. There were many others as well. If Lord Zhu doesn't believe me, I can list the names of the people and ask Lord Zhu to come and verify them one by one."
The reason why the Fourth Prince remained silent was because the person he met that day could not be known to others.
