In the fifth year of Taihe, September is ugly, and the first two quarters of the first month.

Chengdu Mansion, Yacheng Prison.

In Yacheng Prison, Li Zhi did not say a word, and seemed unmoved by what Zhang Yijun said. But in fact, there were already some waves in his heart, and with the ups and downs of his chest, Li Zhi's snort became thicker, the blood on his face gradually disappeared, and the sweat droplets on his forehead also dripped down his cheeks.

"Sir...... Who the hell is it? ”

"I said it, Zhang Yijun in Xia Jingzhao." Zhang Yijun's tone was very perfunctory, and he smiled lightly: "What? Was it just said below? ”

Li Zhi didn't answer, put his hands on his knees, but felt a chill invade his fingertips.

"In fact, there is a hidden pile in the house, since the hidden Victoria did the hidden pile, Yi Jun has long been suspicious, the former Victorian hidden pile Sima Zhu died too strangely, but it only stayed at the level of a trace of suspicion. Later, when Victoria surrendered, Yi Jun inadvertently learned from the mouth of the deputy envoy of Victoria, Xi Tanmou, that Sima Zhu's death actually had another hidden secret, and I was even more convinced that he actually died of betrayal and betrayal. ”

“…… And the only person who has the information of his identity is the people of Xichuan Chengdu Mansion, and in the final analysis, it can only be the people of the Shuai Mansion. Therefore, it is extremely self-consistent to suspect that there is another hidden stake in the house. ”

Li Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but still felt that his throat was dry, and he spit out a sentence for a long time, and said lightly: "Zhi still needs to remind Mr. Guo Hui died early." ”

"Naturally, I can't worry about the envoy if I die early," Zhang Yijun seemed unmoved, and continued: "To tell the envoy the truth, on the way from Victoria to Chengdu Mansion, I suspected many people, and later after entering the city, he was knocked unconscious by a Weiyuan military official who pretended to be Yang Zong and sent to Wenshufang, although the meaning is unknown, but it was obviously sent by you, and I also suspect that you have been the envoy; Li Gong repeatedly dissuaded me from investigating the secret pile, so I even suspected Li Deyu, Li Gong. However, after the incident in Yanning Building, and on the way back to Chengdu Mansion from Victoria, Yi Jun figured out that his previous guesses were not correct. Therefore, Yi Juncai came here and hoped to support the envoy to give advice. ”

Li Zhi raised his eyes slightly, but found that Zhang Yijun was staring at him directly, so he let out a sneer and asked mockingly, "Is Mr. going to keep talking like this?" ”

Listening to Li Zhi's answer, a look of disappointment flashed between Zhang Yijun's eyebrows, but it was only fleeting.

"Of course not, if the envoy insists on not being willing to reveal, then Yi Jun ...... Naturally, I can only check it on my own. ”

Li Zhi quietly closed his eyes, his lips pursed into a thin line, as if he was thinking fiercely, but he seemed unwilling to say anything more. After being silent for nearly half a cup of tea, I heard Zhang Yijun sigh softly.

"Envoy Li can naturally not say anything, Li Gong has already decided not to investigate this matter in detail, even if he is arraigned in the future, he will not ask the slightest thing related to this. But......" Zhang Yijun's voice paused, leaving a void in the empty prison, "However, the man didn't know anything about what I said. Yi Jun also told the envoy before, since he has done a secret stake, his identity is the first person who needs to be concealed, and now, there is a prisoner in Yacheng Prison who knows his identity and will be interrogated at any time...... What would happen if the envoy was a dark pile? ”

Zhang Yijun's eyes were firmly fixed on Li Zhi's facial expression, not letting go of any possible change in expression. Then he said something that was enough to make Li Zhi tremble:

"Don't forget that the dead are far more trustworthy than the living. It seems more reasonable and self-consistent than to rescue and kill people......"

I don't know if Zhang Yijun's words had an effect, or because the prison was so cold and unbearable, Li Zhi's face had long been bloodless. His lips opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't feel his lips tremble, and he couldn't spit out half a word.

And all of this was carefully watched by Zhang Yijun, and he did not let go of this opportunity, without giving Li Zhi the slightest time to breathe, his voice was cold, and then said: "Since he is a secret pile, he must not kill people like the envoy, using clumsy wine and other ways that will be found traces, he will take advantage of the envoy's sleep to quietly take the envoy's life, either through the gate of the Yacheng prison, or directly through the vent above the envoy's head into the poison dart that even Facao can't observe, just the so-called killing is invisible." Before he died, he was so painful that he couldn't even make a sound, he could only feel that his heart was beating violently, and then he calmed down again, and there was only one corpse left in the entire Yacheng prison, and there was no other ......."

Zhang Yijun deliberately paused for a moment, allowing the sense of the picture to gradually take shape in Li Zhi's heart, and then got up silently and slowly moved towards the gate of Yacheng Prison.

“…… At that time, I am afraid that in addition to the genealogy of the clan in the history books, there will not even be the name of the envoy. I can't imagine that the envoy is familiar with the scriptures, gains fame, and has an extraordinary background, but in the end he ends up in a prison with a corpse, and he didn't even touch the edge of Chang'an officialdom, which is sad and lamentable......"

Zhang Yijun heard that Li Zhi was short of breath and snorted heavily. He deliberately slowed down his pace and did not make a sound, hoping to let the fear caused by Fang Cai's words gradually ferment in Li Zhi's heart.

And this sentence full of sarcasm finally made Li Zhi unable to hold on any longer, and a strong sense of fear and unwillingness began to accumulate in his chest.

He opened his eyes suddenly, his face pale, and although his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, he still refused to speak. I had to listen quietly to Zhang Yijun walking up the stone steps in the dim prison, and the footsteps of "clattering" were amplified in the empty prison, and spread faintly.

"Besides...... If the envoy cooperates with Yi Jun and finds out the secret stake of the Shuaifu, Yi can intercede with Li Gong, and the envoy can atone for his sins, so that he will be safe. On the contrary, if the envoy still hesitates, then Yi can say goodbye......"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of chains colliding and the door opening from the gate of the prison in Yacheng.

"Don't go! I say! I say! ”

Then I heard Li Zhi's gasping sound.

And Li Zhi didn't know that Zhang Yijun also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, to be honest, this was the first time he interrogated others, so he didn't have enough confidence to let Li Zhi confess at first.

However, Li Zhi has a bull party behind him, and he is a relative of the royal family, and he is famous, and he dares to make a dangerous move to assassinate the marshal like a chestnut in the fire, if he has no ambition, it is impossible. Zhang Yijun firmly grasped this point, and through observing words and feelings, he skillfully used Li Zhi's fear of death, and finally just as the siege often needs to deliberately leave a gap for the defenders to break through, at the end of the day, Li Zhi was released with a narrow way to live, so that both soft and hard were used, even Li Zhi finally gave up resistance.

When Zhang Yijun appeared in front of Li Zhi again, the underwear on Li Zhi's body had already been soaked with sweat.

"Before a certain and a certain plate is revealed, can Mr. tell Yu that he is going to protect his life?"

"After all, Yi Jun is just a cloth staff with no official qualities, and more Yi Jun can't give it to the envoy," Zhang Yijun spread his hands and said: "It's nothing more than grabbing the secret stake of the Shuai Mansion and handing it over to Li Jiedu for disposal." Since Li Gong had assured the envoy that he could be punished lightly, and Yi Jun could make a slight plea to the envoy of Jiedu, thinking that he could turn the beheading punishment into a relocation punishment and the relocation punishment into a demotion punishment. Presumably, after this incident, the envoy will be sent to Lizhou, Yazhou, or Shanzhou to any of the states, right? ”

Li Zhi sighed, Xiazhou Sima is from the six products, Zhang Yijun said that the three state capitals are all in the most remote places in Xichuan, where Han bureaucrats live together, close to Nanzhao or Tubo. Not only is there a miasma everywhere, but there is also a risk of being razed from time to time, and going there to serve as Sima is comparable to exile.

However, after all, the crime committed by Li Zhi was to assassinate the commander, and compared with death, it was already a great mercy for Li Zhi to be sent to the border two levels in a row. What's more, if it can make a comeback in the future, it is not known......

So the question is, will this Zhang Yijun fulfill his promise?

However, Li Zhi, who has always had a way back, racked his brains, but was desperate to find that the little staff in front of him, who had never cared about it, turned out to be his only choice at the moment.

After some ideological struggle, Li Zhi suddenly felt dizzy and weak, and supported himself on the ground with his hands, barely maintaining his sitting posture and the only trace of dignity left.

"The Shuai Mansion Hidden Pile that Mr. is looking for is called 'Crane City'."

Li Zhi finally opened his chapped lips and decided to make a confession.

"'Bird City'?" Zhang Yijun raised his eyebrows, and involuntarily repeated the name, which really caused a ripple in his memory.

This is the code name of the person who wrote the secret letter to Sidham!

"Hehe, exactly," Li Zhi nodded, but his eyes hung weakly, "And Mr. is right in his suspicions, the matter of writing a secret letter to betray the secret pile in Victoria is indeed the work of 'Bird City'." At that time, Li Jiedu had just taken office, and Mr. had been a secret stake in Victoria, and it may be clear that there were signs of surrender in Victoria last year. First, 'Crane City' wants to cut off Li Deyu's possibility of making meritorious contributions by betraying Sima Zhu, and secondly, he also wants to give Li Deyu a disgrace in this way......"

"Wait," Zhang Yijun interrupted with a wave of his hand: "It is a felony to betray the secret pile, even if the envoy is the downline of 'Crane City', he will not easily tell the envoy about this matter, right?" ”

"Forehead......" Li Zhizhi Zhang Yijun's question made him hesitate for a long time, and finally he coughed lightly and said: "Yes...... Sima Zhu's identity and ...... provided to him Location......

"Betraying the secret pile is a punishment, if it is really as the envoy said, the envoy should be guilty of the same crime!" Zhang Yijun said sharply, and before he knew it, his hands at his side were clenched into fists.

As soon as Zhang Yijun's voice fell, Li Zhi hurriedly defended with a crying voice: "But at that time, I really didn't know that he was going to betray the secret pile!" If I had expected this, I would not have told him these ......."

Zhang Yijun just waved his hand, and he didn't hear what the power was saying.

"Who is this 'Bird City'?"

"I don't know," Li Zhi shook his head seriously, "He acts extremely carefully, he never shows up, and every time he sends a message, he writes where the secret letter is hidden next time, and it is ......different every time."

Zhang Yijun was thoughtful, and then motioned for Li Zhi to continue.

"That...... In a certain ...... Before going on, how is the gentleman going to catch this person? ”

"Set the bait." Zhang Yijun thought for a while.

"What...... Bait? Li Zhi suddenly had a bad premonition.

Zhang Yijun smiled lightly, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Li Zhi.

"Far away, close in front of you......"

After understanding what Zhang Yijun meant, Li Zhi's breath stagnated, and his slightly open lips were enough to freeze for a breath.
