As the head of the mysterious force, Guo Heng was still a little messy by the news brought by his father Guo Xian, in the side hall of the Xiande Hall of the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, Wang Yimin, director of the General Intelligence Bureau of the Tang Empire, said to Su Yi in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it can now be confirmed that the controller of the mysterious force that has been hidden in our Tang Empire is Guo Heng, the son of Vice Premier Guo Xian, who is about to serve as the chief engineer of the Chang'an Aircraft Factory. ”

Su Yi's face was a little gloomy at this time, "Could Guo Xian be the real mastermind behind the scenes?" ”

Wang Yimin shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, according to the evidence currently in the possession of our General Intelligence Bureau, what Guo Heng has done, has been carrying Vice Premier Guo Xian behind his back all these years, Guo Heng is thoughtful, extremely high-handed, and good at winning people over, if it wasn't for His Majesty leading troops into the Purple Moon Empire, Guo Heng is likely to have successfully usurped the throne in the Purple Moon Empire." ”

Su Yi snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that the head of that mysterious force would be hidden under my nose all along, when is your General Intelligence Bureau going to close the net?" ”

Wang Yimin immediately said: "Guo Heng has sold the engine design drawings of the Funiao fighter and the Iron Eagle bomber to the Noomi Empire for 150 million Tang Yuan because of lack of funds, although the General Intelligence Bureau does not have the information of all the members of this mysterious force, but in order to prevent Guo Heng from making other things that will cause huge losses to our Tang Empire, our General Intelligence Bureau is ready to immediately arrest Guo Heng and all the members known to this mysterious force, I believe that even if there are some fish that slip through the net, Under the identification of other members, they will also be found out in the end. ”

Su Yi's brows furrowed slightly, "The engine design drawings of the Fortune Bird Fighter and the Iron Eagle Bomber have really been obtained by the Noomi Empire?" ”

Wang Yimin immediately said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the person under Guo Heng who is in charge of this transaction has already been rebelled by our General Intelligence Bureau, and the key data of the two sets of engine design drawings sold to the Noomi Empire have been tampered with by us, and the cash of 150 million Tang Yuan is currently under the control of our General Intelligence Bureau." ”

Su Yi's brows suddenly relaxed, "It seems that this time, your General Intelligence Bureau has received an additional 150 million Tang Yuan in funds. ”

Wang Yimin smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, many nobles from the four kingdoms of Yuan Cangyu, Liuyun, Tianxing, and Ziyue have joined this rebel group formed by Guo Heng, most of the families of these nobles have huge wealth, I believe that this harvest will be very rich, such a large amount of wealth, our General Intelligence Bureau does not dare to swallow it alone." ”

A cold light suddenly flashed in Su Yi's eyes, "It seems that I am still too merciful to some of the nobles of the original four empires, just take advantage of this incident to sort out the nobles of the original four empires, and now that the military alliance of the nine countries has been established, and the war may break out at any time, I just take this opportunity to raise some more military funds for this war." ”

Wang Yimin's face also surged with a murderous aura, "Your Majesty, rest assured, our General Intelligence Bureau will definitely not be merciful to those rebellious families, maybe the construction cost of thirty aircraft carriers does not need to be allocated separately by Your Majesty." ”

On the afternoon of February 22, 3016, Wu Haowei, the deputy brigade commander of the Second Brigade under the First Field Division of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, was called to the division headquarters by a phone call.

In various parts of the Tang Empire, like Wu Haowei, there were more than 20 generals, hundreds of colonel-level officers, captains, lieutenants, and ensigns, and more than 700 people were arrested at once by the General Intelligence Bureau, as well as tens of thousands of non-commissioned officers and soldiers, who were also temporarily controlled.

At the same time that the General Intelligence Bureau was arresting members of the rebel group in the navy, army, and air force, the General Intelligence Bureau also dispatched a large number of manpower to carry out a net collection operation against the non-military members of the rebel group with the cooperation of the troops stationed in various localities.

Some of the nobles who participated in this rebellious group from the four countries of Cangyu, Liuyun, Tianxing, and Ziyue were unwilling to be captured and chose armed resistance, but in front of the garrisons in various places, these rebellions were so powerless, like a mantis arm as a car, and the General Intelligence Bureau also took the opportunity to seize all the property of the families where these nobles belonged.

In the mansion where Guo Xian, the second vice premier of the Tang Empire Cabinet, lived, Guo Xian asked Wang Yimin, director of the General Intelligence Bureau, with a puzzled expression: "Director Wang, why did you bring so many people to me?" ”

Wang Yimin sighed, "Premier Guo, I'm here today to arrest Guo Heng!" ”

"What? Arrest Guo Heng? Director Wang, is there any misunderstanding here? ”

Wang Yimin then briefly introduced Guo Heng's actions to Guo Xian.

"This ...... This...... That's impossible! It's impossible! How could Xiao Heng be the head of the rebel group? ”

Guo Xian's face had turned pale, and he even shook his body a few times, if it weren't for the secretary next to him who helped Guo Xian, Guo Xian would have collapsed to the ground.

Wang Yimin saw Guo Xian's appearance, although he was a little unbearable, but he still said the cruel reality, "Premier Guo, our General Intelligence Bureau has enough evidence, starting from the Purple Moon Empire, the mysterious force that has assassinated many military generals was formed by Guo Heng himself, and Guo Heng has even formulated assassination plans for the emperor many times before. ”

Wang Yimin's words made Guo Xian unable to bear it anymore, he fainted with a roll of his eyes, and when Guo Xian woke up, he found that his son Guo Heng had been handcuffed and handcuffed.

Guo Xian saw his son and immediately struggled to stand up, "Xiao Heng, quickly explain to Director Wang, you are just an engineer in an aircraft factory, how can you be the head of the rebel group!" ”

Guo Heng, who was pale, showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Father, I'm sorry, I have affected you this time for my own ambitions." ”

Guo Xian heard his son admit it himself, and his body couldn't help shaking a few more times, making people feel as if he was several years old in an instant, "Xiao Heng, why are you?" Why are you doing that? ”

Guo Heng shook his head with a wry smile and did not answer his father's question.

At this time, Wang Yimin, director of the General Intelligence Bureau, opened his mouth and said: "Premier Guo, I'm really sorry, I have to bring Guo Heng back to the General Intelligence Bureau, there are many things that Guo Heng still needs to explain clearly." ”

Guo Xian opened his mouth, as if he had a lot of things to say to Wang Yimin, but in the end he only said one word with difficulty: "Okay-"

That night, Guo Xian, the second vice premier of the cabinet, knelt in the main hall of the Hall of Virtue, and said to Su Yi and Ouyang Xue with tears: "Your Majesty, the queen, the old minister knows that what Guo Heng has done is unforgivable, but the old minister only has Guo Heng's son, so the old minister can only pray that His Majesty and the queen can spare Guo Heng's life." ”

Su Yi snorted coldly and said: "Your son's ability is big enough, not counting the members of the rebel group who were captured before, just this time the net was closed, and twenty-three generals of our Tang Empire were arrested, including four lieutenant generals, more than 100 colonel-level officers, more than 700 captain-level officers below, and tens of thousands of non-commissioned officers and soldiers involved. ”

Guo Xian hurriedly kowtowed again and again and said: "Guo Heng's crime deserves death!" Guo Heng deserves death! But Lao Chen is such a son, so that Lao Chen looks at him...... Whining...... The old minister is really ...... Woohoo......"

Looking at Guo Xian, who was crying bitterly, Empress Ouyang Xue, who was a little unbearable, opened her mouth and whispered to Su Yi: "Your Majesty, according to the information learned by the General Intelligence Bureau, Vice Premier Guo really didn't know what Guo Heng did before, and was completely kept in the dark by Guo Heng, so let the guards bring a chair to Vice Premier Guo, and say something slowly." ”

In fact, the reason why Queen Ouyang Xue was in the Hall of Virtue at this time was because Guo Xian knelt down and begged for it.

Ouyang Xue's father, Ouyang Qi, was unfortunately killed in the defense of Purple Moon City, and it was Guo Xianli, who was the prime minister of the Purple Moon Empire, who overrode public opinion, so that Ouyang Xue inherited the throne and became the first empress of the Purple Moon Empire.

In the subsequent battle to resist the invasion of the Orenza Empire, Guo Xian also tried his best, tried every means to raise a large number of materials and soldiers, led the Purple Moon Army and carried the Orenza Army for several months, and finally waited until the Su family army brought by Su Yi joined the battlefield of the Purple Moon Empire.

Guo Xian can be said to be kind to the royal family of the Purple Moon Empire and to Ouyang Xue, so Ouyang Xue came to the Xiande Hall at this time to intercede for Guo Xian.

Su Yi couldn't suppress his anger and said to Guo Xian: "I know that you don't know everything Guo Heng has done, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to see my face today!" You still want me to spare Guo Heng's life, do you know how many people died because of Guo Heng's ambition, and how many orphans and widows he produced, you Guo Xian only has one biological son, don't those who were killed by Guo Xian have no parents! ”

Guo Xian, who was kneeling on the ground, was a little speechless by Su Yi's angry reprimand, and even Ouyang Xue, the queen next to her, opened her mouth and didn't answer Su Yi's words.

Next, Su Yi said in a cold voice: "Guo Xian, you go back first!" The interrogation of Guo Heng has not yet ended, and there are some things that Guo Heng still needs to explain clearly, as for how to deal with Guo Xian, wait until all the actions of the entire rebel group are investigated! ”

After Su Yi finished saying this, he didn't pay attention to Guo Xian, who was still kneeling, flicked his sleeves, and returned to another dormitory with Queen Ouyang Xue, which was where Queen Ouyang Xue lived.

That night, after Su Yi and Ouyang Xue tossed on the bed, Ouyang Xue, who was lying in Su Yi's arms, hesitated and asked Su Yi: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do with Guo Heng?" ”

Su Yi let out a long sigh, "According to what Guo Heng did, it would not be an exaggeration to shoot him ten times, but Guo Heng is the only son of Vice Premier Guo Xian after all, Guo Xian has contributed to the Tang Empire and the former Purple Moon Empire, and there is also a relationship between me and Guo Xian, so I am actually a little hesitant about Guo Heng's disposal." ”

Ouyang Xue thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, it can be said that Guo Xian is kind to me and the royal family of the original Purple Moon Empire, I don't know if I can spare that Guo Heng's life in the end?" ”

Su Yi didn't give Ouyang Xue an answer right away, "Wait until the matter of the entire rebel group is clarified, and then study how to deal with Guo Heng!" ”

Early in the morning of February 24, Wang Yimin, director of the General Intelligence Bureau, entered the palace with a large stack of papers, and after meeting Su Yi, Wang Yimin reported: "Your Majesty, Guo Heng, the head of the rebel group, is very cooperative, has explained everything, and even handed over the list of members of the entire rebel group, but ......."

Su Yi frowned, "But what?" ”

Wang Yimin said with an embarrassed expression: "But Guo Heng committed suicide last night, and it was too late to find out." ”

When Su Yi heard this, his brows furrowed a little tighter, "How did your General Intelligence Bureau do it, Guo Heng is such an important prisoner, how can you let him commit suicide!" ”

Wang Yimin smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, we didn't expect Guo Heng to do so much, he hid in the quilt, and used his teeth to bite through the major arteries of his wrist, and when our people found out, Guo Heng was already breathing." ”

Su Yi pondered for a while and said, "Show me Guo Heng's confession." ”

Wang Yimin immediately handed over a large stack of paper in his hand to Su Yi, and by the time Su Yi finished reading Guo Heng's confession, half an hour had passed.

Su Yi said coldly: "With these things that Guo Heng has done, it is not an exaggeration to kill him a hundred times, in order to extinguish his mouth, he even did not let go of the old and weak women and children, there are more than a dozen former Purple Moon Empire army generals who were killed by him, Guo Heng died like this, it can be regarded as cheap for him, but he died like this, I don't need to have any more difficulties, after all, Guo Heng is the only son of Vice Premier Guo Xian." ”

Wang Yimin then said: "Your Majesty, with Guo Heng's confession and that list of members, the members of the entire rebel group will be severely punished, but the scale still needs to be decided by Your Majesty." ”

Su Yi said without hesitation: "Now that the military alliance of the nine countries has been formed, and war may break out at any time, just take this opportunity to make an example of the monkeys, all the members of the rebel group must be dealt with strictly, those who can be sentenced or not sentenced must be sentenced heavily, and those who can be killed or not killed, all of them will be shot!" ”

Guo Xian, the second vice premier of the cabinet of the Tang Empire, submitted his resignation to the cabinet of the Tang Empire the day after learning that his son had committed suicide.

After Guo Xian left the power center of the Tang Empire, he has been committed to the charity of the Tang Empire, and donated most of his family property for charity.
