Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

The interrogator said to Hogg, "I don't know!"

Hogg was somewhat surprised by the interrogator's frankness, and then asked, "You didn't know? You still dared to agree?"

After hearing Hogg's words, the interrogator smiled and said, "Because this is Lady Morgana's will!"

Hogg looked at the interrogator with a puzzled expression, then asked, "Did Lady Morgana say that?"

The interrogator chuckled and said, "That's right, you must have heard what she just said. Lady Morgana said that no matter what leverage or weakness the other side has over you, we will help you and assist you..."

Hogg responded to the interrogator's question by asking, "Can you guarantee that?"

The interrogator said to Hogg, "This is Lady Morgana's intention, but these things are full of variables... No one can guarantee anything to you! We can only follow you, we will do our best..."

Before Hogg could finish speaking, the interrogator said, "I know you still don't trust us. Ms. Morgana said at the beginning that this matter seems to be a choice for you, but in fact it is not a choice at all, but a single answer, which is that you follow us."

"Because, given your current situation, you have no choice. You either stay with us or continue to resist. Of course, the result of continuing to resist is also very simple... that is, you die. If your family members have all been kidnapped, their value in living is because you are alive. If you die, do you think your family will be released? Do you think they will leave themselves with some hidden dangers?"

"At that point, there will only be one thing they can do, and that is to kill them..."

Hogg looked grim after the interrogator spoke.

He wanted to argue, but he found that he was somewhat unable to argue at that moment.

After all, they're right.

The interrogator, observing Hogg's expression, then said, "If I were you, I'd just confess everything at once. Since you've already admitted it, admitting only half and leaving yourself an out actually offends both sides. You're the stupidest one..."

After listening to the interrogator finish speaking, Hogg fell silent.

The interrogator didn't continue speaking to Hogg: "Alright, your time's up..."

Hogg watched as the interrogator looked toward an hourglass to the side.

The hourglass was almost empty.

Hogg asked the interrogator, "Time? Is there a time limit for your interrogations?"

The interrogator said to Hogg, "Yes, you know how many people there are. Time is tight and the mission is heavy. You probably think you're very important, and maybe there are people with higher ranks than you..."

The interrogator then said to Hogg, "Alright, Hogg, let's stop wasting time. If you haven't considered it, we'll give you some time. Of course, you've at least admitted it honestly, even though you haven't given us any useful information. But we're still prepared to give you a chance... Go and think it over. We won't torture you..."

Hogg was momentarily speechless after hearing the interrogator's words.

Before he could speak, the interrogator had already had the security guards take him away.

Hogg didn't struggle at this moment, for no other reason than that.

He definitely needs to calm down.

At that moment, he was taken away.

...

Even by evening, news of what had happened reached Morgana's ears.

The effect was significant, and the results were substantial.

More than a thousand spies were found, and these spies were indeed from all walks of life.

Moreover, they are also present in the Public Security Bureau.

However, most of them haven't even started using it yet.

Most of them are in a state of dormancy.

The way to deal with them is actually quite simple.

That is, they seize the person they care about most and then threaten him with their life.

Morgana, upon hearing that these people were being threatened in this way, asked Thomson with some disbelief, "Thomson, are all the people here using this method?"

Thomson said to Morgana, "Lady Morgana, yes, all of those people are like that."

Morgana looked incredulous upon hearing Thomson's words, then laughed and said, "I didn't expect that their organization, which sounds so powerful, would use such despicable methods..."

After hearing Morgana's words, Thomson smiled and said, "Lady Morgana, isn't this the one we use often?"

Morgana smiled after hearing Thomson's words, and then said, "That's right, it was my mistake in word choice. I've been learning Xiao's language these days, so I'm often confused and sometimes fail to express myself clearly. It should be said that their method is too rudimentary..."

After hearing Morgana's words, Thomson said to her, "That's right, it's indeed too basic! But often, seemingly powerful methods can actually achieve unexpected results with the most basic techniques..."

Morgana smiled and nodded after hearing Thomson's words: "That's right, that's true... So were there any tough nuts to crack? Or was there anything they made a mistake about, and then admitted it under pressure?"

Thomson nodded: "Lady Morgana, you are truly wise. Yes, that's indeed the case. However, we can recognize these kinds of people at a glance, so we will release them. Of course, we will still secretly follow them afterwards..."

Morgana nodded to Thomson.

Before Morgana could respond, Thomson seemed to suddenly remember something and said to her, "Lady Morgana, there really is one person among them who is somewhat different..."

Morgana smiled curiously at Thomson and asked, "Oh? It's different?"

After hearing Morgana's words, Thomson smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's different!"

Morgana smiled at Thomson and said, "Stop keeping me in suspense."

Thomson recounted Hogg's story to Morgana.

After listening, Morgana said to Thomson, "So, Thomson, you mean... that person might know that those people's families are being held over there?"

Thomson shook his head: "I'm just relaying that, but that guy named Hogg wasn't interrogated by me. However, based on the information from our interrogators, that should be the case! That guy knows... and, based on our guess, he probably knows quite a bit..."

"At least she knows more than that old woman..."

Upon hearing Thomson's words, Morgana immediately replied, "Then what are we thinking about? Let's go get ready, and then we'll set off..."

After hearing Morgana's words, Thomson immediately said to her, "Lady Morgana, are you planning to go over now?"

Morgana said to Thomson, "That's right, that's true. So, don't you want to go? Or do you not recommend that I go?"

Thomson smiled awkwardly at Morgana and said, "Ms. Morgana, you're joking. How could I possibly advise you not to go? However, I think it's getting dark now. If we go over there, will he be angry?"

After hearing Thomson's words, Morgana subconsciously glanced at the sky outside, then said to Thomson, "Have you clearly explained all the pros and cons I was told about?"

Thomson nodded: "Of course, we've informed him of everything, both privately and publicly. This guy's been at the very back of the line; we've heard it at least a dozen times..."

Morgana smiled after hearing Thomson's words and said, "That's right. We've already analyzed the pros and cons with him. Now that we've analyzed it, the decision is his business. I'll represent my position. Let him seize the opportunity to talk about defying fate..."

"If you still want to maintain this facade, as I've said before, I only give you one chance..."

Thomson smiled upon hearing Morgana's words, then said to her, "Lady Morgana, you're right, then we..."

Morgana smiled at Thomson and then said, "Yes, we should be setting off..."

Morgana set off with her people.

Thomson immediately went to prepare.

After Thomson left.

Little Luna followed beside her, and Morgana looked at her with some concern and said, "What, don't you want to go?"

Little Luna said to Morgana, "Lady Morgana, would it be inconvenient for me to go over there...?"

“Lady Morgana, if we’re talking about spies, I’m actually the biggest one… But I didn’t follow you around saying anything… I didn’t follow you around saying anything, I just followed you around to listen to what you said, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”

Morgana smiled at Luna and said, "Luna, it's been so long, why are you still being so dramatic? I've already told you, I consider you one of my own. I don't care whether you tell me or not... I have plenty of ways to get that information... Just stay with me. Even though you didn't tell me, I know I understand you. You must have your reasons!"

After hearing Morgana's words, Luna felt incredibly guilty.

In fact, the better Morgana treated her, the more guilty Luna felt.

"Alright, stop making that face. I know you won't say it, but you won't betray me. Since you're unwilling to betray that person, I'll believe you won't betray me in front of her either. That's enough! Besides, this time, I feel you absolutely have to come with me... and it has to be you..."

Little Luna heard Morgana repeat after her with a serious expression.

Little Luna asked with a puzzled look, "Why?"

Morgana smiled at Luna and then said, "After all, you know that person better than I do. Even if you don't say anything, you can analyze what that person is saying with me. Is it true or false? Let's see if he's trying to trap me. That's fine, right..."

Upon hearing Morgana's words, Luna smiled and said, "Lady Morgana, of course that's fine...no problem..."

Morgana smiled and said to Luna, "Alright, let's go."

After hearing Morgana's words, Luna followed Morgana.

...

Before they left, Luna glanced instinctively at Xiao Ce's residence.

Morgana naturally understood what Luna meant.

Morgana smiled at Luna and said, "Do you want to go with Mr. Ce to talk to him?"

Little Luna shook her head, then said to Morgana, "Ms. Morgana, of course not... I didn't mean to go and talk to Mr. Ce, I was thinking, do you want to go and talk to Mr. Ce?"

Morgana pondered for a moment, then said, "No need. Since Mr. Ce trusts us, we'll do it our own way..."

After hearing Morgana's words, Luna smiled and then said to Morgana, "Okay, Lady Morgana, that's what I meant."

Morgana smiled at Luna and then said, "I know you're doing this for my sake."

The two exchanged a knowing smile and then went outside.

After they went out, Thomson was ready.

Once they were ready, the carriage was ready to depart.

...

Hogg was already at his residence, and his men had been captured.

However, compared to Hogg, who has already confessed, his henchmen are quite stubborn...

Those men remained silent, as Thomson had instructed them not to be dealt with for the time being.

We'll decide what to do next after we've dealt with Hogg.

Hogg was locked in a room, and although it was late at night, he wasn't sleepy at all.

He didn't know what he would face next.

Just as he was feeling uncertain, a sound came from outside the door.

Then two guards opened the door, and the guards came in aggressively.

Hogg was still a little nervous and asked the guards warily, "What do you want?"

"Your Lord Thomson said he'd give me some time to consider... What are you planning to do...?"

The guard said nothing, but held a pair of shackles and leg irons.

He then said, "I'm not a criminal, what right do you have to lock me up? Didn't you say that confessing would be treated leniently? I've already confessed..."

No matter what Hogg said, the guards did not respond to him.

He simply said to Hogg, "If you don't want to suffer, then behave and don't resist! Otherwise, we'll get rough with you... If you cooperate, we won't make things difficult for you..."

Hogg looked embarrassed. Hearing the guard's slightly cold voice, he dared not resist any longer and had no choice but to cooperate obediently...
