Tang Emperor Li Shimin finished reading the last book, and there was still a book in the book, so mixed with the piece of evidence about what Ma Yifei complained, it was originally a smiling expression, but it slowly solidified, and was replaced by a slight anger. Li Shimin slapped his palm on the desk and said angrily:

"This Ma Gui is really bold, as the parent official of Pingyao County, he actually dared to connive at his son, repeatedly robbed the people's daughters, and covered up the crime for him, it is really bold and extremely evil. If he was given a stabbing stab, he would dare to cover it up for his son to burn and loot. ”

Huang Rui, who was standing in front of Tang Emperor Li Shimin, saw that Li Shimin was still smiling, but in the next second, he was angry, and he immediately felt bad, and when he heard Li Shimin slap his palm on the table. Suddenly frightened, he knelt directly on the ground, and didn't dare to raise his head, as if he had made a mistake.

And this Hong Rui's approach is very correct. You must know that by the emperor's side, it is like accompanying the king like a tiger, if the emperor is angry, you don't have a little consciousness, then you can't set a second, and the knife is already ruthlessly on your neck.

So, in a situation like this, it's not your fault, and it's okay for you to kneel, so that sometimes you can be exempted from the crime of killing. Don't feel that your dignity is worth anything, and when you come here, whether you are a dignified person, it is worthless. If you have to die to maintain your dignity, then there is only one situation, and that is for you to die with your dignity.

Therefore, no matter who it is, when he sees Tang Emperor Li Shimin, he must bow down. This is the courtesy that a courtier should do to his own king. It is like the prostrations that mortals perform when they see God.

After a long time, Li Shimin slowly put away his anger and calmed down his emotions before he said lightly: "It's not your fault, you get up." ”

When Huang Rui heard Li Shimin's words, he thanked him and said, "Old slave, thank you to the emperor."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said lightly: "Ma Gui's matter, it is not big, and it is not small. If it were a county magistrate or a clerk, he would go straight to prison. But as a parent official, in addition to conniving at his son and covering up his crimes, the others are also conscientious and meritorious people. ”

"But Bi is a parent official, and no matter how good he is in other aspects, it can be seen from here that he is a failure. Therefore, he took all his family property and exiled him to Beiguan as a laborer. ”

"But this matter is still the credit of my cousin, and I will reward him with a thousand taels of silver and ten horses of silk. and with that will, it will be handed down together. ”

When Hongrui heard Li Shimin's words, he nodded respectfully and said, "Obey." ”

After speaking, Huang Rui slowly retreated, writing his will, which was also one of his tasks. In some not very important wills, they were all written by Hong Rui, and finally approved by Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin saw Huang Rui retreating, he picked up the note about telling Li Yan's identity, and after looking at it, he looked at the direction of the gate, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

..........

Li Yan sat alone in the courtyard, holding an ancient book in his hand and reading it carefully, with a stack of pastries and a cup of tea in front of him. Today is the third day since I bought a house.

It's been two days since I bought my house last time. And in these two days, a lot of things have happened.

For example, according to Li Yan's meaning, Chen Meng went to explore Ashinabdo's residence and which people he came into contact with. After this investigation, Li Yan and the others also knew where Ashina Buduo lived and came into contact with those people.

The person Ashina has the most contact with is Gao Zhenyin. So which of their guesses in their hearts has also been confirmed, and it is certain that Ashnabudo is a Turk.

However, the two of them knew the rules, but they didn't go to the grass to startle the snake, what Li Yan wanted was to put a long line and catch a big fish. I don't know the true identity of this Ashina Buduo, and it is not necessarily that only one Ashina Buduo came to Xihe County, there should be still people, but it is not that there is a discovery.

In addition to these, Li Yan also learned from Chen Meng about the trajectory of some high-tech forces during this period of time. However, according to reports from those they monitored, there is nothing suspicious about Gao Qiang's recent actions.

Except for going to the barracks under his control every day or two, after checking some conditions, he just drank tea outside, walked around the Qinglou, etc., and went home directly, and there was no abnormal behavior.

When Li Yan heard this, he felt a little abnormal. If Ashnabudo was a person sent by the Turks to consult with Gaoqiang, then the machine should have met. However, there is Gao Zhenyin and Ashina Budo, wandering around in the county town, and has not been in contact, obviously there is something greasy in this.

It is impossible for Gao Zhenyin and Ashina Buduo to negotiate all this, how much ability Gao Zhenyin has, Gao Qiang is Gao Zhenyin's father, if he doesn't even know this, then his father is not qualified at all. With Gao Zhenyin's ability, it is obvious that Gao Zhenyin will not be allowed to talk about this matter.

What you must know is that this matter is a matter related to his own life, and with a high level of behavior and behavior, it is impossible to put his life in the hands of others, even his own son.

Since it's not for Gao Zhenyin to talk about things, it's for you to talk about it yourself. However, the person in charge of monitoring did not find anything suspicious, not even the people who entered and exited the Gao Mansion.

This made Li Yan very puzzled, wasn't Ashina Buduo responsible for this matter? Or would you rather have someone? If it was someone else, then Gao Qiang should have contacted them, but he didn't find out, which made Li Yan unable to figure it out.

However, Li Yanyou thought of a possibility, that is, Gao Qiang felt that someone was watching him. Or those who are responsible for monitoring Gao Qiang have been exposed, so Gao Qiang will show that there is nothing to do, the purpose is to deceive these people who are surveilling, so that they feel that everything is normal.

Since it has been discovered, it means that Gao Qiang has already met with someone. And where they met, at that time, in that place, who and how many people, this is unknown.

And now the thing is that the enemy is dark and I am clear, others know your movements, but you don't know other people's movements, but when others run away, you still don't know at all, but when I am afraid that everything is too late.

And Chen Meng and Tang Liwen, who are in charge of this matter, I am afraid that they will not escape the crime of dereliction of responsibility, although they will not die, but demoting you to a remote place as an official is worse than not being an official.

But fortunately, now I know that an Ashinabdo is a Turk, so I am not afraid that these people will not know it. As long as you monitor Ashinabdo's movements and movements, then you are not in a passive state.

Therefore, Li Yan and Chen Meng are combined, which is to monitor the movements of Ashinabduo and Gao Zhenyin, and all the situations, as long as there is any change between the two, they can also quickly know what is going on.

However, Li Yan is also trying to find a way, how to know whether Gao Qiang has been in contact with the Turkic people, and to know what their plan is. And Li Yan also found that how do you feel that this matter is his own business, he is just a commoner, although he has royal blood. This made him speechless, but after all, this is about his own interests, as well as the interests of Zhengda Tang, so even if he is unhappy, he has no choice but to participate.

And Chen Meng was very surprised to know that the person he sent to be in charge of monitoring had been exposed, he really thought about how Gao Qiang found out, what he knew was that this gratifying person was carefully selected by him, and they were all trained people. didn't expect Gao Qiang to find out, which made him very depressed.

How did Chen Meng know that it was not his people who were exposed, but Gao Qiang had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and it could be said that he could know what was going on at a glance if there were any changes in the surrounding environment. There is also Gao Qiang's intuitive perception and special accuracy, and Gao Qiang is very confident in his intuition.
