Chapter 976: Rumors Rise Again
"Report the assassination order, Si Defeat has mobilized the Chu army to arrest spies from various countries."
"What, Si Luo Yi dispatched his troops to capture spies from various countries without consulting me?"
Chen Zhen was shocked when he got the news that Luo Yi had begun to arrest the spies of the Three Kingdoms.
He and Luo Yi were ordered by the King of Chu to track down the people who spread rumors, he was responsible for finding out the news, and Luo Yi was responsible for maintaining law and order in the city and arresting the spies.
As an important minister in charge of intelligence in the state of Chu, Chen Zhen is also a clear door to spies from various countries, and he is nothing more than four kinds of people, one of which is the spies who come to Chu secretly, and this kind of spies are the most secretive.
The second is to blend in with the caravans and envoys from various countries, this kind of spy is extremely mobile, and he can find out the news while moving.
The third is the people from all over the world who come to Chu to study and seek office, these people either live in various universities, or they are guests in the palaces of noble ministers, or they are guests in the mansions of the powerful. These people have a coat of Chu State, and they are more troublesome to deal with.
Compared to the previous two types of spies, if you want to deal with them, you must have evidence. Otherwise, not only will it be impossible to explain to the various university factions and noble ministers, but also deal with visitors from various countries, which will also affect the reputation of the scholars of the Chu State in various countries.
And the last one is the Chu people who have been bought by various countries. He Chen Zhen can buy the ministers of various countries, and in the same way, countries can also buy the Chu people.
Originally, these spies stayed in Yingdu honestly, silently inquiring about the news, and Chen Zhen could not distinguish the identities of their spies.
However, now those spies are spreading rumors everywhere in the city, but they have been exposed on their own initiative.
Therefore, Chen Zhen did not take the initiative to arrest people in the past two days, just to find the spy networks of various countries through these large number of exposed spies, so as to find out the spies of various countries lurking in Yingdu as much as possible, and destroy the intelligence networks of various countries in Yingdu.
As a result, the big net he laid had just been unfolded, and he had only found the intelligence nodes of some countries, but he had not yet thoroughly figured out the spy network of the four countries, and he had not yet found the high-level internal agents of the four countries in the Chu State, and he had not yet informed Si Luo Yi of this information.
As a result, now Luo Yi has already begun to arrest him.
Then, when he learned the location of Luo Yi's move, he was even more stunned.
Of the eighteen locations that Luo Yi sent people to encircle and suppress, only three overlapped with the places found by Zhibeiya, and the other fifteen places were not in Zhibeiya's intelligence.
"It's strange, these fifteen places are not known to Zhibeiya, is Luo Yi another source of intelligence, or is Luo Yi tricked?"
Just thinking about it, a spy hurriedly came to Chen Zhen's side: "Assassin Shi Ling, no, a large number of rumors suddenly appeared in the city, saying, 'The king has decided to execute Yiyangjun and them for the crime of defeat and loss of land, and has ordered the capture and execution of the feudal monarch who came to Yingdu to lobby and accept it. ’
Moreover, there are rumors everywhere in the city, saying that the eight confidants of Yiyang Jun Sima, Le Jun Sima, and Xiangjun's brother have been executed by the king. ”
When Chen Zhen heard this, his face changed slightly, and he sighed: "I have won the scheme." ”
At this time, another spy walked quickly: "Newspaper... Assassin Shi Ling, who had just been defeated Luo Yi personally led a team of troops to surround the place where Le Jun Sima lived, and had already begun to capture Le Jun Sima and bring it to Yingdu's men. ”
"What?" Chen Zhen was shocked.
Si Luoyi's move undoubtedly confirmed the rumors in the city.
But that's not all.
After the spy just took a breath, he continued: "Assassin Shi Ling, not only that, but there are also seven defeated armies that have gone to the place where Yiyang Jun Sima, Xiangjun's brother and others live, and they have already arrested people. ”
"This..." Chen Zhen's face changed greatly, and at this moment, he was a little suspicious that Si Luo Yi had been bought by another country.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhen immediately spoke: "Enter the palace, prepare the car immediately, I want to enter the palace to see the king." ”
"No."
In the palace.
When Xiong Huai heard Chen Zhen's report, his face also changed.
Le Jun Sima and the others had already arrived in Yingdu, he naturally knew about it, and Le Jun Sima and others lobbied the important ministers of the court everywhere, and he also knew it clearly.
For Le Jun Sima and others, Xiong Huai not only did not restrict their freedom, cut off their communication channel with Le Jun, and even specially instructed the important ministers of the court to appease them, hoping that by appeasing them, they could appease Le Jun and others.
The result was good, Si Luo Yi didn't appease him, and even sent troops to arrest him when rumors were spreading in the city. If this is known to Lejun, who is rushing to Yingdu, what should they think, will they still come to Yingdu?
Thinking of this, Xiong Huai couldn't help but be furious and said: "Bastard who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, pass on the edict and immediately let Si Luo Yi come to see the widow." ”
"Yui."
As soon as the attendant of the edict had departed, an envoy entered the temple.
"The king, Si Luo Yi asked to see him outside the palace, saying that there are 100,000 urgent things to ask to see the king."
"He came at the right time, and the widow was looking for him, so he took the initiative to come." Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded: "Chuan, let him come to see the widow immediately." ”
"Yui."
Xiong Huai waited for a long time, and saw Si Luo Yi holding a bunch of bamboo slips in his arms, and walked in quickly with a panicked expression.
When Luo Yi came closer, Xiong Huai didn't wait for him to speak, so he snorted coldly and asked, "Si Luo, you did such a big thing, the widow heard that Lejun and they turned against him." ”
When Luo Yi heard that the tone of the King of Chu was not good, he remembered the previous instructions of the King of Chu, and his face turned pale, sweat broke out on his head, and he didn't care about wiping the sweat, so he hurriedly presented the bamboo slips in his arms with both hands, and saluted: "The king, the ministers dare not deceive the king, Le Jun is really the opposite." This is a counter-book found by the minister in the residence of Lejun Sima, which can prove that what the minister said is true and not half false. ”
Xiong Huai looked at the bamboo slip that Luo Yi was holding in both hands and was stunned, then looked at Si Luo Yi, and responded with an even more unkind face: "Present it." ”
"Yui."
Then, Xiong Huai unfolded the bamboo slip to take a look, but saw that the bamboo slip was either written by Le Jun or Le Jun Sima's reply to Le Jun, and the words on the bamboo slip were all Le Jun and Le Jun Sima's rebellious words.
Seeing this, Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and after looking at Luo Yi, he took a closer look at the bamboo slips, and found that the bamboo slips and handwriting had been for a while, and it was not Luo Yi's hasty forgery.
After excluding Luo Yi's forgery, these bamboo slips only show one problem, either Le Jun rebelled, or Le Jun Sima betrayed Le Jun.
Either way, the situation is not good.
Le Jun is the opposite, which is naturally the worst outcome.
But if Le Jun Sima betrayed Le Jun, the situation would not be much better. When Yingdu captures or even kills Le Jun Sima, will Le Jun believe in his henchmen or in him, the king of Chu.
The answer is self-explanatory.
Xiong Huai groaned, and after passing the bamboo slip to Chen Zhen, he looked at Luo Yi sternly and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Back to the king, today's minister got an exact secret report, saying that he had discovered the stronghold of the spies of the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Han. In order to avoid the leakage of news, and in order to avoid changes later, the ministers even mobilized the troops in the city to arrest them.
As a result, in one of the strongholds, our Chu army encountered a group of people who were ready and armed with sharp weapons, and when these people saw the Chu army, they attacked the Chu army without asking any questions, and only after the battle did they shout and claim to be Le Jun Sima. When Chu Jun saw this, he thought that they were spies of various countries and were confusing the public.
However, after these people were killed, our Chu army found seven corpses in brocade clothes from one of the rooms, none of these people were killed by our Chu army, and three of the corpses still had name tags on them, they were Yiyang Jun Sima and others.
The Chu army present immediately reported to the ministers after discovering this situation, and the ministers even smelled the smell of conspiracy from it. Therefore, the minister immediately personally led the army to surround the residence of Le Jun Sima, and found evidence from Le Jun Sima that Le Jun wanted to rebel. ”
After speaking, Luo Yi bowed and said: "King, all kinds of signs show that Le Jun is really the opposite. The minister asked the king to immediately issue an edict and let the minister lead the army to arrest Lejun. ”
