After closing the door, Li Yuanji had dinner early, and then came to the rockery in the backyard of his mansion. A slight push from an inconspicuous position opened a secret door. After confirming that no one was following him on both sides and behind him, Li Yuanji flashed into the secret door, and then gently closed the door again.

Once inside, there is a spiral down staircase. The walls on both sides are filled with torches, illuminating the stairwells as if it were daylight. After walking down the spiral staircase for a short time, Li Yuanji came to a relatively wide underground space. At this time, in this underground space, there are many sturdy men who are shirtless here, holding stone locks or fighting with each other. These people are none other than a group of outlaws that Li Yuanji has collected from his father and brothers over the years. Most of them were important criminals wanted to be arrested by the government with three or four lives on their lives, and these people originally wanted to go up the mountain and fall into the grass when they were desperate. But later Li Yuanji found out about it, so Li Yuanji used some tricks to hide these people in his mansion. Among these people, some were once martial artists, some were officers in the army of the Sui Dynasty, and some escaped from the battlefield in Liaodong. Of course, more of them are just farming in the countryside, or they are lost or desperate before they commit murder and flee abroad. After Li Yuanji hid these people in his mansion, he did not ask them to do anything, but only told them that they must practice every day no matter what. If anyone cheats and cheats, then he will be sent to the government to receive a reward, and the reward will be used to offset the money he has spent in his own mansion.

Those who were practicing, when they saw Li Yuanji coming down the spiral staircase, put down their work one after another. A few people were sleeping on the straw mats next to them, and at this time, they were also kicked awake by the people practicing the exercises on the side and pulled up from the ground. After waiting for Li Yuanji to get closer, the first person took the lead and knelt on one knee. The people standing behind that person also knelt down on one knee in front of Li Yuanji, and said in a loud voice, "See the head of the family." ”

Li Yuanji nodded with satisfaction, and said to the crowd in front of him: "Okay everyone, get up and speak." ”

Someone next to him came to move a chair for Li Yuanji and let Li Yuanji sit here. After Li Yuanji sat down, he said to the people in front of him: "As the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the time for you to come to me for refuge is not short. We won't go into detail about the long ones for three or five years, and the short ones for nearly half a year. Although eating, drinking, and dressing are not the best for you, but it's better than asking a lot after autumn, isn't it? Now I have one thing I want you to do for me to run errands, I don't know which of you wants to go and who doesn't want to go? ”

"Go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up." After listening to Li Yuanji's words, the replies given by those strong men were surprisingly unanimous.

After listening to their reply, Li Yuanji nodded with satisfaction. Tell them this, this, and so and so about what you want them to do. So that night, after these people were all dressed in disguise, they followed another road in the wide space underground to a barren mountain outside Chang'an City. Only waiting for the next day to get brighter and the city gate opened, then they turned into pedestrians of various trades and hurriedly passed the sentry post of Chang'an City and entered the city.

After all, Chang'an City used to be the capital of the Great Sui, and all forces have a lot of eyeliner and meticulous work here, of course, Li Wenyuan's night owl is no exception. But in the past few days, the night owls have been surprisingly quiet, and they have not done anything more, just using their respective legal identities in Chang'an City to live the lives of ordinary people. Although the spies of other forces did not know that there was such a force called the Night Stalker that belonged to Li Wenyuan, they could faintly feel that there seemed to be a huge spy force in Chang'an City that suddenly stopped operating at this time. So under curiosity, these people went out one after another to find out what kind of thing made the largest spy force in Chang'an City stop.

Their curiosity did not lead to finding out why the biggest spy had stopped, but in the hands of these people sent by Li Yuanji, a lot of manpower had been lost, and only two or three of the ten people who went out to engage in intelligence spy work every day could safely return to their strongholds. This continued for four days before it stopped. The reason for stopping is also very simple, the dungeon under Li Yuanji's rockery really can't hold more people. So the people sent out were scattered and lived in various inns in Chang'an City, and Li Yuanji himself went into battle, and with the cooperation of the mysterious people, he began to prepare to interrogate the intelligence officers of these various forces in the dungeon one by one.

"Childe, this rumor is obviously just spread in order to block Ling Zun's heart. That Li Wenyuan's power is thousands of miles away from our Chang'an City, and I don't think it seems to have been spread by them. After all, they can only let others take advantage of the fishermen by disturbing us, but they people from the Western Regions can't get any benefits, and they want to offend us in vain, so why should they bother? In my opinion, the people who spread this rumor must be the spies of these hostile forces around us, who want to take this opportunity to make Ling Zun angry, so that they lose their usual reason when judging some things, and they are the ones who fish in troubled waters to fish in our territory to reap some benefits. Therefore, let's arrest these people's wings in Chang'an City first, and then find out in the end, we will definitely be able to find out. When the time comes, you will be able to account for Lingzun. This is the method that the mysterious man explained to Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji naturally implemented this method faithfully as described by the mysterious man, and at this time, he locked up the number one hundred and ten people in the dungeon under the rockery, and this time he also came to the dungeon with the cooperation of the mysterious man to prepare for a rental arraignment. If you don't go to trial, you won't be able to do it, and if you drag it out like this, the dungeon will be overcrowded.

Although Li Yuanji usually looks gentle and elegant in front of people, his temperament is still very tyrannical at the very least. At least in terms of the various torture instruments in the dungeon, the mysterious people are ashamed, even in their own night owl department, there are not so many cruel torture instruments that torture people in different ways. Thinking of this, the mysterious man licked the poison sac hidden in the back socket with his tongue, thinking that if he was to be tortured by these torture instruments one day, then the best result would be to bite through this poison sac to give himself a good time.
