After Tang Kuai said that he was a spy, not only did he not feel scared, but he felt that a heavy burden had been lifted off his body. For the first time in so many years, he felt so relaxed. His hesitant eyes had calmed down, and his body was not as trembling as before.

incredible.

Jia Ke didn't feel much surprise when he heard what he said. He had originally guessed that the spies in Kaiping Guard made a living by selling horses. There were only a few horse dealers in Kaiping Guard, and among them, Tang Kuai was the most suspected.

Because he has the widest connections, father and son have never had any trouble on the grassland. This is simply impossible.

What Jia Ke didn't expect was that instead of following the Tatars' orders to attack the city gate tonight, he instead came and surrendered to himself.

Jia Ke looked at him and said, "I've guessed everything about you. The only thing I didn't guess was that you would surrender. That's why if you tell me, it will make me feel confident."

Tang Kuai knelt on the ground and said frankly: "Sir, my father is a Tatar, and my mother is from the Central Plains. My mother did not know my father's true identity until she died, and I am the only one in our family who was specially designated by my father.

He trained and became his successor after his death and continued to be a Tatar spy. But he didn’t know that since he told me about it, I didn’t want to in my heart. I don’t want to be a Tatar, I just want to be a Tatar.

People from the Central Plains, I don’t want to return to the grassland and be someone else’s slave. And as my business has grown bigger and bigger over the years, this desire has become stronger and stronger. But I have no choice over the years, because I am in the hands of the Tatars.

Kite, they used my birth to control me. If I flew a little farther, they would pull me back by the string, so they have been doing things for the Tatars?"

Jia Ke interrupted him and asked: "The deaths of previous Qianhus were also related to you?"

When Tang Kuai heard Jia Ke ask this question, he did not hide it at all, "Yes, sir, every year when the Tatars invade the south, I will pick up a few assassins and come to Kaipingwei and provide them with certain conveniences.

Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they fail."

Jia Ke asked him curiously, "Then why didn't anyone come to assassinate me?"

Tang Kuai lowered his head and said truthfully: "We just assassinated a Qianhu this year. If another one dies, I will definitely be exposed. I am a nail that has been made possible by the efforts of two generations. In order to protect me, the Tatars

, so no action was taken.”

"Then why did they attack you tonight?"

Tang Kuai also said doubtfully: "I don't know about this. I am also very confused about this. Lighting three huge bonfires is the last resort. I'm afraid it will be useless once I use this nail."

Jia Ke stared into his eyes and said, "Now that you've surrendered yourself, have you thought about the consequences?"

There is nothing that Tang Kuai can't say now, "I have thought about it a long time ago. I'm afraid there is no reason for my son to survive, but my son has no idea about this matter. I can tell you anything, I just ask you to let him go."

Their lives."

Jia Ke didn't give him any reply, but just asked: "How did you make an agreement with the Tatars? What's the secret code?"

"Lighting three bonfires means that they will secretly come to the city in the middle of the night. I will hold a torch on top of the city and shake it continuously to tell the Tatars that they are ready and can enter the city."

Teacher Tang Kuai said.

Jia Ke stood at the top of the city and looked outside the city, thinking about things silently, as if he had forgotten about Tang Kuai. But Tang Kuai was kneeling on the ground, not daring to move. Waiting for Jia Ke's final verdict, he didn't know whether he was alive or not.

Or die.

The question that Jia Ke is thinking about now is his life and death. Do you want his life? It stands to reason that he sent people to assassinate several Qianhu, or he was a Tatar undercover. It is not an exaggeration to say that such a person should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.

But Jia Ke is not one of those heroes who serves the country and the people. The deaths of previous Qianhus have nothing to do with him. All he thinks about now is himself. What benefits can Jia Ke get from this matter?

Jia Ke thought for a long time, and finally decided to keep his life and let him work for him. In this way, he not only had a source of intelligence about the Tatars, but also had another way to make money. Why not?

As for being discovered in the future, I guess no one would have this ability. The two generations of father and son had been hiding for nearly decades. If it hadn't been for today, when they were at the end of their rope, who would have discovered them.

And even if it was discovered that it was related to him, he would have an excuse. He was just following his orders to travel among the Tatar tribes, spying on information, and serving the country.

Jia Ke made a decision, turned around and looked at Tang Kuai's fearful look, and said to him calmly: "You will have nothing to do with the Tatars from now on. Be a native of your Central Plains, but the Tatars

Don’t cut off the line, I’ll send someone to contact you in the future.”

When Tang Kuai heard that Jia Ke spared his life, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then collapsed on the ground involuntarily.

Jia Ke looked at Tang Kuai who was lying limply on the ground, and then said to him: "From now on, continue your horse selling business, and I will take half of the future profits."

Tang Kuai didn't dare to object at this time. Instead, he felt that this was better. Being able to get on the line with Lord Qianhu was equivalent to being on the line with Rongguo Mansion. When Lord Qianhu came, he inquired

It is clear that this Jia Qianhu is a descendant of Rong Guofu.

Tang Kuai's mind was fully activated at this time, and he suddenly understood the key. He respectfully said to Jia Ke: "Master, I will be your slave from now on. When I go back, I will bind myself and my family to each other."

Send it over." After saying that, he looked at Jia Ke secretly.

After hearing what he said, Jia Ke couldn't help but smile on his face. Tang Kuai knew that this time he made the right bet. If he didn't send the body deed to him, Jia Ke might not be able to fully believe in himself, and the result would not be certain by then.

But it's different now. I am Jia Ke's slave. I share prosperity with Jia Ke, and both suffer losses.

When Jia Ke saw Tang Kuai still kneeling on the ground, he said to him: "Get up, I have nothing to do without you now, and you must be careful when doing errands in the future."

Tang Kuai quickly got up from the ground, walked gently to Jia Ke, and asked Jia Ke flatteringly: "Master, what should I do with the three bonfires outside?"

Jia Ke looked outside the city wall and said casually:

"You will call me uncle from now on. You are already calling me old."

Tang Kuai said hurriedly: "Yes, the uncle is right. It's because I'm too bad at talking."

Jia Ke didn't pick a fight with him. He looked outside and thought again, "Don't worry about this matter. I have my own way. You can still do your business in the future. If the Tatars want information, just give them some."

It doesn’t matter, keep the line.”

Tang Kuai smiled and said to Jia Ke: "Don't worry, sir, and I can hand over at least eighty thousand taels of silver to you every year."

Jia Ke was shocked when he heard what he said. He never thought that the money from this transaction would come so quickly. Even the entire Rongguo Mansion's annual income according to his estimate would not be more than 100,000 taels.

This time Jia Ke was satisfied, at least he would not be short of money in the future.

Tang Kuai looked at the smile on Jia Ke's lips and said bravely: "I have something to ask you, I wonder if you can listen to me."

Seeing that he gave her so much money every year, Jia Ke thought that she would agree to him if it wasn't too difficult. So she nodded lightly.

When Tang Kuai saw Jia Ke nodding, he hurriedly said humbly: "Uncle, I have two useless sons who tease cats and dogs every day. I want to send them to the uncle's personal army, and ask the uncle to discipline them for me.

"

When Jia Ke heard what he said, he immediately looked at Tang Kuai with admiration. This was sending two hostages into his hands. It seemed that he had sincerely surrendered to him. In this case, Jia Ke couldn't refute his good intentions, so he had to do it reluctantly.

Agree.
