Elena Wei's Silent Vigil and Shadows Over the Border Chapter 117

The Hun spies were able to hide in the border counties, under Wei Shang's nose, and hide for years. In addition to seizing the blind spots of the big guys in the border counties and killing people without blinking an eye, they also relied on a bit of luck.

However, as Shaling County was the first to discover clues, the lids in the county were gradually lifted, and the good luck of these spies finally came to an end.

The county boss personally took charge of the operation, screening suspicious villages one by one, and destroying the strongholds of the villains. Merchants who colluded with the villains, and the bandits who were willing to be driven were all found out one after another, and one by one they were taken to the government temple for strict interrogation.

After a thorough investigation, more than 200 suspects were captured alive in Yunzhong County alone. Half of them had solid evidence, either spies disguised as border residents or with other identities, who had been directly or indirectly delivering information to the grasslands for several years. Some even built villages and became transfer points for the trade caravans, helping to send spies into Chang'an.

As the suspects continued to confess, the number of confessions sent to the prefectural government increased exponentially. The study room was no longer able to hold them all, and the compartments were filled up.
