The Empire will continue to win

After the students had chosen their preferred weapons, Shen Moqing was still worried: "Let's go to the shooting range to try them out."

Gun factories definitely have shooting ranges, and more than one.

I won't feel at ease without testing the gun.

Substandard weapons can cause serious harm.

Naval operations are imminent!

No one noticed that Zhang Zongyu, a member of the factory security team, had left his post without permission and sneaked into the gun-making workshop. There were only three or five people working in the entire workshop; the rest were squatting in the corner smoking and chatting.

"Old Zhang, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, the bolt of my old gun is just a bit stuck."

"Go ask Old Hong to polish it for you."

"Okay."

Zhang Zongyu approached a middle-aged man who was working on a steam milling machine with his head down and lowered his voice: "Uncle Xiuquan, I feel something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Supervisor Shen brought a group of unfamiliar men. Although they were all in plainclothes, I was certain they were soldiers."

Where are these people now?

"Testing the gun at the firing range."

What do you think?

"They'll probably use force to take him down."

"Whose?"

"It's hard to say, they probably weren't after us." Zhang Zongyu's reasoning was that if they were really after him, they would have attacked right at the gate.

"What should we do?"

"Uncle, the warehouse robbery from last month is still unsolved. We don't know who did it. Anyway, things are getting hotter, let's make our move sooner rather than later!"

"it is good."

The roar of the machine effectively masked their conversation.

.........

range.

The group was still testing the guns.

"Senior Shen, your factory's spies are quite rampant. Look at the workmanship of this missile chamber; even a dog chewing on it would be smoother." Fang Boqian was always full of strange remarks.

"Nonsense, otherwise why would I have called you here?" Shen Moqing said loudly. "Fellow students, I'm warning you now, you'll all follow my orders from now on. Any questions?"

"No problem!" the loud voices shouted in unison.

.........

The factory office is a small red brick building.

backyard.

Two gunmen were assigned to crouch in the corner, and one gunman was assigned to climb a tree.

Shen Moqing had already given instructions: if anyone ran out of the small building, there was no need to ask questions; just shoot them and kill them without hesitation.

roof.

Two lookouts armed with rifles were assigned.

The rest of the people squatted next to the supervisor's office, agreed on a signal, and took action together.

thump~

dong dong~

Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Supervisor Shen, who are those people next door?" Zi Ying asked, her face filled with fear.

"You've come at the right time. Don't ask so many questions," Shen Moqing said gently. "Quickly, copy down a list for me, hurry up."

"Yes."

The cherry blossom beauty forced herself to remain calm, sat down, unscrewed the fountain pen, and spread out a sheet of white paper.

Then she saw the so-called list.

Tuesday Dog, Wu Mantun, Li Zhuangzhuang, Wang Changjiang~

Finished!

They're all our own people.

In the blink of an eye~

Army spy Zi Ying decisively pulled out the wooden hairpin that secured the hairpin, stuffed it into her mouth, and bit down hard with her silver teeth. The whole action was as fast as lightning.

The highly toxic powder hidden inside the cavity flowed down the mouth into the esophagus.

"Hands up!"

Shen Moqing raised his gun and shouted sharply.

It's late~

Black, foul blood had begun to flow from her mouth and nose, and her eyes held a mixture of resentment, confusion, and relief.

"Black Card Incident, Banzai~"

bang~

bang bang~

Without hesitation, Shen Moqing drew his gun and repeatedly pulled the trigger at that alluring face. It was a completely instinctive reaction, or rather, a response to the pressure.

Memories flooded my mind.

Suburbs of Busan.

He, Zhang Zongcang, Brother Ma, and an unknown comrade were sneaking through the dense forest when they suddenly encountered a squad of Dongsang soldiers.

The forest was dense with foliage, catching both sides off guard.

Everyone opened fire wildly, then bayonets, sabers, daggers, and rifle butts.

A sergeant, brandishing his samurai sword and shouting "Tenmao Heika, Banzai!" charged toward his own jammed rifle, only to be shot down by Zhang Zongcang at the last second.

Then, his brain was taken over by adrenaline, and with a somersault, he thrust his rifle fiercely at the sergeant.

It was only later that they discovered the bayonet had been lost, and the gun barrel was filled with blood and flesh.

I am a Han Chinese, and I cannot stand the fuss about the black card.

.........

Upon hearing the gunshots, the cadets who were crouching next door rushed in with their guns drawn, stunned by what they saw.

"She's a spy!"

"Go back. Next, I will be summoning more spies to this office. Be prepared, please."

"Yes."

The cadets looked at Shen Moqing with a mixture of admiration and fear, especially Fang Boqian, who could hardly look directly at this devilish senior.

Such a beautiful girl, wow!

"Big brother, drag the body to the back."

"it is good."

Zhang Zongcang dragged Zi Ying's body behind the bookshelf to cover it up, ensuring that no one would see it as soon as they entered the room, and also covered up the blood on the carpet.

Not long after~

Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Hello, Supervisor Shen, I'm Zhao Xiaotang from the polishing workshop."

"Hello, Supervisor Shen, I'm Li Zhuangzhuang from the polishing workshop."

~

"sit."

Shen Moqing remained indifferent, continuing to read the documents as he sat down.

One by one, all 13 people on the list arrived. Some sat, some stood, but no one dared to utter a sound.

"Second brother, everyone's here."

"Um."

Shen Moqing put down the documents in his hand and looked around at everyone.

As expected~

Their faces are all honest and kind, perfect for lurking in the shadows.

He gently pulled open the drawer, took out a fully loaded revolver, stood up, and shouted sternly, "There's a spy among you. Don't move, or you'll be killed without mercy."

Come on~

Soldiers with guns rushed out and blocked the gate.

The crowd was terrified; some were bewildered, some knelt down, and some tried to explain.

"Supervision? I'm innocent!"

Shen Moqing's opening statement was a bombshell: "Zi Ying has already confessed. It's not too late for you to confess now. I guarantee I won't kill the first person to turn away from darkness and embrace light."

moment.

The spy network was in chaos.

Some people rushed decisively to the window, while others resolutely rushed towards themselves.

bang bang~

Gunfire erupted, and bullets flew everywhere.

Navy personnel are generally not very good marksmen, but even with such close-quarters and dense fire, they still managed to kill three men and wound four others on the spot, while the rest surrendered without resistance.

Because they were tricked, their psychological defenses collapsed too quickly, and most of the spies were exposed on the spot, skipping the stage of making excuses.

However, two of them still desperately protested their innocence. Could they really be honest workers?

Hard to say!

Shen Moqing was not a cruel official. After thinking for a moment, he ordered, "Lock up the two who are crying foul. Send the rest of the people and the corpses to the Ministry of Justice. I want to report the victory to the Empress Dowager."

"Senior, can we share the credit for catching spies?" Fang Boqian asked boldly.

"The reward money is all yours."

The crowd cheered.

Then, Zhang Zongcang led the factory guards to take the bound spy to the Ministry of Justice by carriage for torture.

.........

Lin Zengtai, a cautious third-year student, whispered a reminder: "Mo Qing, are you sure they've all been caught? Could there be other spies hiding somewhere?"

Shen Moqing sighed: "There must be some who slipped through the net."

"Then you should interrogate them on the spot and follow the clues to find the source, right?"

"It's better to push this hot potato away as soon as possible. I have no merit to speak of right now and desperately need a definite credit. If I pass it on to the Ministry of Justice, I will be a meritorious official no matter what happens next." Shen Moqing sighed softly.

Politics is very pragmatic.

Empress Dowager Cixi was a more pragmatic woman.

If one cannot quickly prove himself to be a politically useful man, he will perish along with the entire nation.
