Soldiers and horses were transferred, and Wen Qingzhu didn't let him do anything else, and directly guarded all the entrances and exits of Dingyuan City.

Such a big movement naturally spread to Zhao Qing and Lu Chengen.

Lu Chengen just asked people to come over and ask, but Zhao Qing rushed over non-stop.

From a distance, I saw Wen Qingzhu riding a horse and talking to Zhao Lin.

When he arrived, he looked at the tightly guarded gate, and asked patiently, "What is this doing, my lord?" Could it be that the Huns spies entered the city? ”

"Maybe it is." Wen Qingzhu gave an ambiguous answer, which made Zhao Qing stunned.

Seeing that Wen Qingzhu was not very nervous, Zhao Qing suddenly knew that he was playing, and the anger in his heart rose.

Just as he was about to have a seizure, someone came galloping on horseback.

When he arrived in front of them, Wen Qingzhu realized that the person who came was Fu Lie's person.

He handed her a letter directly: "My lord! This is the letter handed over to you by the prince! ”

Wen Qingzhu took it and took a look, his face sank suddenly, he looked back at Dingyuan City, and muttered to himself: "There are really spies in the city!" ”

Zhao Qing and Zhao Lin's hearts sank at the same time, was Fu Lie's movements so fast?

The people who were waiting to come out of the city gate had sent a long procession.

Wen Qingzhu glanced over, and couldn't tell who was a spy and who wasn't.

However, with the experience of the capital, Wen Qingzhu already had a plan in his heart.

She turned her head to Zhao Qing and said, "The regent has already caught three of these spies, and they will be sent over in half an hour, and now I have to trouble General Zhao to accompany me into the city and prepare for the investigation." ”

"Lord Wen wants to investigate the entire Dingyuan City!" The first thing Zhao Qing thought of was the investigation incident in the capital, and Wen Qingzhu's thunderous means completely defeated Pei Yu.

The specific details, Zhao Qing is not very clear, but he knows that since this incident, Wen Qingzhu's words have been said in the imperial court.

If it weren't for Wen Qingzhu's insistence on killing the eldest son of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and even leading the army in and out of the capital at will, alarming the city guards, Wen Qingzhu might not be here at all!

In just a few moments, a lot of information flashed through Zhao Qing's mind.

All the information is summed up together: don't provoke Wen Qingzhu easily.

"Obey orders!" Zhao Qing turned the horse's head, took Wen Qingzhu into the city, and went straight to the yamen.

Zuo Tang got the news as soon as Zhao Lin transferred his troops, so when Wen Qingzhu arrived at the yamen, he immediately came out to greet him.

Wen Qingzhu didn't have any nonsense: "Let everyone in the household rush over immediately, and all the entry and exit records of Dingyuan City within a month will also be brought!" ”

In less than a quarter of an hour, ten people from the house had gathered.

After a brief inquiry, Wen Qingzhu immediately discerned who was the one who knew the most about the flow of people in Dingyuan.

She immediately assigned: "You are the main person in charge this time!" Listen from now on, you take the people in the house to count the number of people immediately, and pick out the people who were not born in Dingyuan City immediately! In addition......"

This order lasted for half an hour, except for the middle-aged man who was designated by Wen Qingzhu, the rest of the people were dizzy when they heard it.

Fortunately, Zuo Tang was still sober, and after Wen Qingzhu said that he would transfer another person over, he immediately asked them to go down to the house and start working.

Fu Jiajun escorted the three spies to the yamen, and they also sent three points of confession.

Presented to Wen Qingzhu, she quickly swept it, and understood it in her heart.

Fu Lie, who should be interrogated, had already interrogated, and she turned her head and asked Zhao Lin to take the person to death row.

He wrote a screening condition and handed it to Zuo Tang: "This is the range of conditions that will be a spy, you pick according to this, and send the list over within an hour!" ”

Zuo Tang took the letterhead, and wanted to say that there were too many people.

Looking down, the filter on it is half a sheet of paper.

has been the prefect for decades, Zuo Tang is not clear, these conditions are really screened, but I am afraid that there are only more than 100 people.

The difficulty now is to single out these suspicious candidates from the vast selection of people.

Zuo Tang led the order, and Zhao Qing looked at Wen Qingzhu's series of arrangements, and his heart sank more and more.

Wen Qingzhu is so good at handling internal affairs, and there is still the undefeated Fu Jiajun outside, even if they Zhao Jiajun and Zuo Tang and Lu Chengen join forces, I am afraid that they will not be able to fight them.

Wouldn't their Zhao family ......

"Zhao Jiajun!" Wen Qingzhu's voice suddenly came into his ears, and Zhao Qing hurriedly raised his head and arched his hand.

Wen Qingzhu asked, "I went to Zhao's house just now, you weren't at home, where did you go?" ”

When these words came out, Zhao Qing was shocked, could it be that Wen Qingzhu suspected him of colluding with the Huns?

Zhao Qing hurriedly explained: "The minister went to the barracks, isn't your lord preparing to send troops to attack the Huns?" The minister went over and prepared first. ”

Hearing him answer like this, Wen Qingzhu immediately understood that he was worried that he would doubt him.

Although he didn't doubt Zhao Qing's intentions, it was better to be wrong.

Wen Qingzhu said meaningfully: "It turned out to be a military camp, I thought that General Zhao refused to send troops, and he was still waiting for the emperor's holy decree." ”

"How dare you." Zhao Qing sweated in his heart, and finally felt relieved.

However, seeing with his own eyes that Wen Qingzhu's methods were so good, Zhao Qing decided in his heart that he couldn't go head-to-head with her.

With the name of the emperor and the princess regent, he couldn't resist at all.

Pei Yu in Beijing is the best example.

While waiting, Wen Qingzhu called the people in the torture room again. Flying

inquired about the human life cases that occurred in Dingyuan City in the past three years.

After listening to the answer of the chief catcher, Wen Qingzhu's mood became heavier and heavier.

No matter how big or small, the murder is inseparable from the Xiongnu, and it is said that the recent massacre of the village in Weiba Village is the most murderous one of the Huns.

Wen Qingzhu asked about the details of some typical cases, and the head catcher had a good memory, and gave Wen Qingzhu a detailed statement and explanation on the spot.

There was a very strange point in it that caught Wen Qingzhu's attention.

"Wait! You said that these cases all happened on the first and fifteenth days of the new year? ”

The head catcher nodded: "Yes, my lord, do you think there is anything abnormal?" ”

Wen Qingzhu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "If I'm not mistaken, when the Xiongnu hadn't attempted to attack Daqi before, we still had normal trade with the Xiongnu in Dingyuan?" ”

"That's right, but our trade is on the Yonghe Pass side, and we won't let any Huns enter the city." The chief catcher explained.

The smile on Wen Qingzhu's face widened, and he squinted at Zhao Qing: "General Zhao said let, why didn't the Huns come in, but there was still a murder?" ”

From Wen Qingzhu calling the people in the torture room, Zhao Qing was mentally prepared.

So he replied very calmly: "The Huns sneaked into Daqi earlier, and they didn't let it in on the surface, but secretly no one came in." ”

Wen Qingzhu looked at him with some appreciation: "It seems that General Zhao is very clear, I heard that the trade with the Xiongnu was promoted by you?" If it weren't for the recent attack on Daqi by the Xiongnu, you would still be trading with them a few months ago. ”

Zhao Qing naturally has his own statement on this matter, and the reason is very good.

He even felt that Wen Qingzhu himself understood this truth.

"The Huns are good at war, not good at farming, and the days when they can eat are only a few months a year. When they are hungry, they want to move their minds, they have cattle, sheep, iron ore, we have grain and cloth, if they can get enough food for normal trade, they will not want to fight. ”

Wen Qingzhu asked rhetorically: "But Daqi is too rich, there are always people with wolf ambitions and want to invade the Central Plains, doesn't General Zhao think this is a problem for raising tigers?" ”

"Raising tigers?" Zhao Qing smiled, "It's just to fill their stomachs, their cattle and sheep, their iron ore, and their BMWs were sent to our Daqi, isn't it better for our Daqi?" What's more, as long as it is properly controlled and they are not given the opportunity to develop, it is our Daqi who will benefit in the end! ”

Bang Bang Bang!

Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but applaud him: "Well said!" ”

Zhao Qing looked at her, and for a while, he didn't know if she was really praising herself or saying the opposite.

Wen Qingzhu naturally saw his doubts, and said with a smile: "Your idea is very right, just a businessman, there will always be a habit of plucking geese, after all, it is not profitable to be early." ”

Zhao Qing relaxed two points in his heart, but he didn't want Wen Qingzhu to change his words, and his tone became unkind: "I just don't know if General Zhao's side is pulling out the hair or the wild goose itself!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the house suddenly became solemn, and the people who remained here didn't even dare to come out.

Wen Qingzhu believes that human beings are inherently good, but at the same time, they are born with greed.

The acquired education and experience will make people fearful, and there is a rule in their hearts.

It's a pity that the majority of people don't keep the rules.

With the imperial power on his head, he will be somewhat jealous.

But there are always people who think that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and he is the overlord of the earth.

Wen Qingzhu could see that Zhao Qing was the kind of person who was willing to take risks and constantly lower his downline.

"My lord! The list is out! ”

Zuo Tang's voice sounded at the right time, Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look, and he came over with a list.

Wen Qingzhu swept it roughly, and there were less than 100 people, only about 50 people.

She turned her hand and handed the list to Zhao Qing: "Everyone is here, General Zhao don't live up to my expectations!" It's okay to be ambitious, but if the abilities don't match, when the fire burns over, all that's left is ashes. ”

Zhao Qing took the list and replied: "Don't worry, my lord, the minister will live up to his expectations!" ”

When he left, he took Zhao Lin with him at the same time.

Wen Qingzhu didn't stop him, and turned his head to look at the Fu family soldiers who had just escorted the spy over: "You bring people to follow here, Zhao Qing can't handle everyone, and the rest is yours." ”

"Yes!" The captain led his men to retreat.

The room fell into silence again, Wen Qingzhu turned his head and looked at Zuo Tang with satisfaction: "The yamen is not full of idle food, after all, there are still people who can do what should be done, when is it now, Lord Zuo has to distinguish clearly, I must fight, so the people of Dingyuan will be handed over to the adults to take care of." ”

"Wechen obeys! Please rest assured, Wechen will do his best to cooperate with your actions. Zuo Tang lowered his head, but his heart became more and more anxious.

Bing Ning is still on the side of the Huns! In case of a fight, if there is something wrong in the middle, it will be a tragic death in the Hun steppe!

Wen Qingzhu could see what he was thinking, but now was not the time to talk to Zuo Tang about this.

If he relaxes because of this, it will be more than worth the loss.

The people on the list were sent back one after another, and they were personally escorted by Zhao Lin.

Wen Qingzhu briefly interrogated him, picked out the important spies and detained them alone, and handed over the rest to Zuo Tang to deal with.

After waiting for another half an hour, Zhao Qing was still missing.

Zhao Lin couldn't sit still, Wen Qingzhu looked at him, and asked softly, "Second General Zhao looks a little anxious?" ”

"No, I didn't!" Zhao Lin was a character who couldn't hide his words, so he quickly stood up and didn't admit himself.

Wen Qingzhu's smile became more and more kind: "The Huns are different from before, but now they have become a lot more cunning, General Zhao failed to catch everyone for a while, it is normal, after all, General Zhao is not from arresting people." ”

"Big, don't worry, my lord, my eldest brother will definitely be able to complete my adult's, hand, explain!" Zhao Lin was in a hurry, and he was a little incoherent.

Wen Qingzhu didn't ask much, just raised his eyes and looked out the door.
