Chapter 389
Feeling the anger in Li Shimin's words, these Tang officials did not dare to delay and pass the buck to each other, and fell to the ground one after another. At this time, one of the officials who was very trusted by Li Shimin on weekdays stood up and said: "General, Liu Benli has been missing for some days, and we have been sending people to look for him. We are about to turn the entire Chang'an City upside down, but we still haven't found any trace of him, and the soldiers guarding the city haven't seen him out of the city recently, so we judge that Liu Benli should still be in this Chang'an City. We also went to ask his family, and they said that they hadn't seen Liu Benli home for some days. Originally, we wanted to wait until we had finished the investigation of Chang'an City before reporting to you about him. So we're not prepared to give you any trouble until we get the exact news, and we want to tell you about it when we have a conclusion. ”
After listening to this official's account, Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! I remember what happened today, so I ask you this question, but what if I don't remember today? Are you going to let this matter just turn it over? Since I took over Tang Feng on the first day, I have said to all of you: In front of me Li Shimin, don't touch the fancy thoughts in your hearts, in that case, you will still cause trouble for yourself in the end. 35xs I also know that many of you disagree with me and think that my ability is not enough to control Tang Feng, so for many of the tasks I give you, you are doing it with the three principles of non-cooperation, no effort, and no opposition, am I right?
And if I don't make this matter clear today, do you really think that you have kept me Li Shimin in the dark all along? The predecessors said: If you want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. Here I also want to say a word to you: people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they don't know how to do things. As an intelligence officer, the most taboo thing is also a taboo in this industry, that is, trusting others too much. Do you really think that the late-night secret conversations you have with people you feel absolutely trustworthy are as safe as you think? Won't they really betray you for some other reason or profit?
It's okay at this time, let's fight in our own territory, your insensitiveness is okay, after all, no one will be killed, but have you ever thought that if one day in the future, you really want to infiltrate the enemy's administrative system, military system, and even intelligence system, will you be able to live for a day like you?
Forget it, it's useless to tell you all about it now. Whoever understands this matter, he understands it without me saying it; For those who don't understand, even if I wear out this mouth, he should not listen or not. Anyway, I have told you about these things, and it can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness, as for how to choose next, it is not something that I, Li Shimin, can control.
Let's talk about Liu Benli again, you should immediately send people to find it for me now. I don't care what means you use, how much money you spend, how much manpower you invest, the only thing I care about now is where is Liu Benli? If you want to see people alive and die to see corpses, even if he escapes overnight, there will always be an eyewitness. In a word, at any cost, find out the whereabouts of this person for me. ”
With Li Shimin's scolding, these Tang Feng people were trembling in their hearts, after all, Tang Feng did not have the ability to protect themselves now, and now they are too weak, so weak that any person with some power can pose a threat to their survival, and even uproot them, so at this time, Li Shimin's scolding made these Tang Feng people can't help but be afraid in their hearts, so for Li Shimin's order, Tang Feng in the entire Chang'an City still dared to disobey, so he sent out all of them.
All of a sudden, Chang'an City became lively again. Almost every moment, Tang Feng people went door to door knocking on the doors of various households and businesses in Chang'an City. Ask them if they can meet someone who wears and looks like. That's when everyone who is asked shakes their heads to indicate that they don't know. So the Tang Feng investigated the past one by one, and even stirred up the troops stationed outside Chang'an City, so that they could drive directly into the city. After the Tang Feng inspected an area, the army was stationed in the block, responsible for standing guard to block the block, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will, unless they brought a document from the government. All of a sudden, the people in Chang'an City were panicked, and they were talking about what was going on, which caused the people of the government to go out to search the city.
After investigating the past in such a block and block by block, no news about Liu Benli was found in the entire Chang'an City, not even a single eyewitness. Even if I went to the inn and asked the owner of the inn, I came to the conclusion that after Liu Benli gave food and drink to a guest on the second floor of the inn that day, this person disappeared. At that time, he also asked him who he wanted to send food, but when Liu Benli answered the owner of the post house, he talked about him left and right, and never said who he wanted to send food and drink? Because Liu Benli paid the money, the innkeeper didn't inquire further, so there was only so much that the innkeeper knew, and he couldn't provide any useful information if he continued to do so.
But this seemingly useless Liu Benli's words, a small thing, for the Tang Feng who have been looking for Liu Benli for a long time but still have no clue, it is undoubtedly when the dark clouds cover the sky, a lightning bolt strikes in the sky, and the snow between the sky and the earth is reflected brightly. Illuminate them as a headache, because now Tang Feng already knows that before Liu Benli disappeared, he had contact with a guest on the second floor of the post house, and even sent those meals to this guest.
Therefore, the Tang Feng soldiers were directly divided into two ways, and one of them continued to follow the previous arrangement to investigate the last block in Chang'an City, which was also the ———— slum that everyone had the most headache and did not want to touch.
On the other hand, Tang Feng followed the clues provided by the innkeeper and began to find ways to find Liu Benli's food on the day of his disappearance. Is there any communication between the two men? Or is it some shady business?
