However, people are not as good as heaven, just when Ma Yu and others were thinking about how to deal with the Xiliang army, a soldier patrolling the city found traces of someone climbing a certain section of the city wall, and immediately reported it upward.

After the Ximen guards got this information, they immediately rushed to the palace to find Li Dao, Guo Yan and others. He knelt in front of Li Dao and said, "General Qiyu, the soldiers who patrol the city today have found ropes climbing the city in the city, and someone must have taken advantage of the night to sneak into the city. ”

As soon as Li Dao heard this, he immediately got up from his seat and commanded loudly: "Someone! Hearing his shout, several of his own soldiers immediately came in from the outside, waiting for his orders. Li Dao pointed at the soldiers with his hand and instructed them: "Immediately conduct a house-to-house search in the city, and be sure to catch the spies who have infiltrated the city." ”

Just when these pro-soldiers agreed and turned around to leave, they were stopped by Jia Xu: "Wait! After the soldiers stopped, Jia Xu said to Li Wei: "General, since the spy has entered the city at night, there must be someone in the city to answer it." If you search all over the city, you will only startle the snakes......"

If Jia Xu had said this yesterday, maybe Li Wei would have hesitated, but at this moment, he asked Jia Xu as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "Mr. Wenhe, what should we do?" ”

"In Jia's opinion, the spies who sneaked into the city must have colluded with a certain minister." Jia Xu said slowly: "We might as well secretly investigate to see which minister colluded with Ma Teng and Han Sui." As long as Neiying is eradicated, Ma Teng and Han Sui outside the city will naturally retreat. ”

"There are many Chinese military officials in the DPRK," after listening to Jia Xu's suggestion, Li Ji said with some headaches: "How do we know which family is colluding with Ma Teng and Han Sui in private?" ”

"Since the holy car was robbed, the people in the capital are panicked, and most of the civil and military officials stay at home and don't come out." Jia Xu thought for a while and said to Li Wei: "The general only needs to know which ministers are still visiting everywhere, so he can focus on surveillance, and maybe he can find out the internal response of collusion with Ma Teng and Han Sui from these people." ”

"It's a brilliant plan." After hearing this, Guo Yan next to him applauded repeatedly: "Then we will follow Mr." ”

Guo Yan summoned the military commander who was patrolling the city and asked him, "Let me ask you, which ministers have been leaving their mansions for a long time recently?" ”

Jun Sima thought for a long time, and then said: "General Qiyu, yesterday, Zuo Zhonglang's general Liu Fan and the counselor doctor Chong Shao visited Ma Yu's mansion and did not return all night. ”

"What will these three people do when they stay together?" When Li Wei heard this, he couldn't help but say to himself.

When Jun Sima heard Li Wei's words, he thought that the other party was asking himself, and hurriedly replied: "General Qiyu, maybe the three of them are drinking and chatting together, I don't know." ”

"I see, you go down." Li Wei waved his hand at Jun Sima with an expressionless face, signaling him to leave. After the military Sima left, Li Dao asked Zhu Wenwu present: "There are people in the city who collude with Ma Teng and Han Sui outside the city, tell me, what should we do?" ”

"Do you need to talk about that?" Fan Chou, who has always been reckless, was the first to speak: "I led 2,000 soldiers and horses to surround the mansion of the three people, capture them alive, and bring them back to see the general. ”

"General Fan can't." Jia Xu hurriedly stopped Fan Chou and said to him: "At present, we just guess that the three of them have colluded with Ma Teng and Han Sui outside the city, but there is no real evidence, and rashly arresting people will make people panic in the city." ”

Fan Chou faced Jia Xu and said angrily: "But if they really collude with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and we let them go like this, I am unwilling." ”

"The father of Zuo Zhonglang General Liu Fan is Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou." In order to prevent the reckless Fan Chou from doing stupid things, Jia Xu said euphemistically: "If we don't have real evidence, we will put Liu Fan in prison, I'm afraid that after Liu Yan knows about it, he will start a rebellion." ”

"Mr. Wenhe." Zhang Ji saw that Fan Chou was speechless by Jia Xu, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Now Ma Teng and Han Sui's soldiers and horses are outside the city, if you don't get rid of Neiying, I'm afraid it will ......" Although his words were not finished, everyone in the hall understood what he wanted to express.

"General Qiyu." At this moment, a personal soldier ran in from outside and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Dao, "Outside, there is a subordinate who claims to be in the palace of Ma Shizhong and asks to see him. ”

"The man of the horse." After listening to the report of his own soldiers, Li Wei waved his hand impatiently: "No see, no see, go and blast him away!" ”

The soldiers agreed, got up and prepared to leave, but Jia Xu stood up again: "Wait! After the soldiers stopped, Jia Xu said to Li Wei: "General, aren't we suspecting that Ma Yu, Liu Fan, and Chong Shao may be Ma Teng and Han Sui's internal response?" Since his subordinates asked to see him, it was better to call in and ask what was going on. ”

"Childish," as soon as Jia Xu's words were finished, Guo Yan echoed: "I think Mr. Jia's words are very reasonable, you might as well call the subordinates of the Shizhong Mansion in and ask, what do you want him to say?" If it's gibberish, just beat it out. ”

Li Wei has always trusted Guo Yan very much, so when he heard him say this, he changed his mind and ordered his own soldiers: "You go and bring that subordinate here!" ”

"See General Li for the villain." After a while, the subordinate who walked in with his own soldiers knelt directly in front of Li Dao and said, "The villain wants to report the illegal deeds of the family director to the general." ”

Li Dao stared at the subordinate who was kneeling on the ground, and only spit out one word from his mouth: "Say!" ”

"Qiqi General Li, the little one wants to report the master of the house, Ma Yu, and discuss with Zuo Zhonglang's general Liu Fan and the counselor doctor Chong Shao, to open the city gate and let the Xiliang army outside the city enter the city!"

The words of the people of Ma Fu suddenly shocked the people present into a cold sweat. After a long time, Jia Xu asked: "You said that your master colluded with Liu Fan and Chong Shao to try to open the city gate and let the Xiliang army enter the city. Is there real evidence, or is it just guessing? ”

"Back to your lordship," although the people of Ma Fu didn't know who the person who was questioning was, they still had the courage to say: "After dark last night, my master sent a henchman to contact Ma Teng and Han Sui outside the city. At the time of the third watch, the person sent out came back from outside, and I don't know what he said to my master, and my master discussed with Liu Fan and Chong Shao for one night. At dawn, my master ordered us to be given weapons, saying that we would soon be moved. The villain felt that something was wrong and did not want to join them, so he came to report it to General Lee. ”

Jia Xu glanced at this traitor seeking glory with contempt, and asked coldly: "Do you know that if you report it like this in front of General Li, your master's life will not be saved?" ”

"Yes, yes." The people of Ma Fu nodded a few times and said in an affirmative tone: "The villain just can't get used to seeing them trying to harm General Li in private, so he has come to report to the general." ”

"Someone's coming!" Li Wei got the information he wanted from the people of Mafu, and hurriedly ordered Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou, each with 1,000 men, to go to Mafu, Liufu, and Chongfu respectively to arrest the three officials who had colluded with Ma Teng and Han Sui in private.

Regarding Li Wei's order, Zhang Ji asked with some hesitation: "General, this Liu Fan is the eldest son of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, is it appropriate for us to take him down?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." Li Dao waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone: "Take down his family immediately, and no one is allowed to leave." ”

Guo Yan summoned the military commander who was patrolling the city and asked him, "Let me ask you, which ministers have been leaving their mansions for a long time recently?" ”

Jun Sima thought for a long time, and then said: "General Qiyu, yesterday, Zuo Zhonglang's general Liu Fan and the counselor doctor Chong Shao visited Ma Yu's mansion and did not return all night. ”
