Two Hanghao Haoqi Road! Don't you ask me to surround your life? ”※

Li Chang smiled miserably: "The old man is so old." How many days do you expect to live? As long as you can bypass my family, I'll tell you everything

"Well, I promise you, if you can be honest and honest. And confessed that other people have meritorious service, and I can not kill you. ”

A flash of surprise flashed in Li Chang's eyes, although he was old, his desire for life was still very strong, and he asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Know this"

"Of course! Don't forget, the Empress Dowager has authorized our NSA to hear your case independently. In other words, your life is in my hands. As long as you can truthfully confess, report and expose others, and provide clues about other people's important crimes, especially clues such as plotting against the enemy and collaborating with the enemy. I'll keep you from dying! ”

Li Chang nodded slightly, and his breathing was a little short: "Okay, I'll explain, I'll report."

"Okay, let me ask you first, is the person who came out of your cellar just now from Western Xia?"

"Well, he was sent by Western Xia."

"What is he here for?.

"He came to bribe and wanted me to help them remove the commander of this Western Expedition.

Du Wenhao perked up: "What do you mean?" ”

"I heard him say that this time our Great Song army adopted a step-by-step strategy, using dense war stoppers to advance steadily, and using a long-range bow and crossbow attack, when they concentrated their forces to break through, they met our army and had to retreat. They have a headache with my Da Song tactics, and hope to persuade the Empress Dowager to change the coach through me and others. ”

Du Wenhao was simply overjoyed, but his face was silent: "Don't make it up, I will check with him, you should know what the consequences will be if you talk nonsense."

Li Chang sighed: "The old decay has reached this point, is it still necessary to talk nonsense?" ”

"If you know, let me ask you again, where did you get all that gold and silver piled up like a hill?"

"Most of them were sent by Western Xia, let me help them. Others were bribed by other officials who had been investigated and punished

Du Wenhao's heart sank, and he said in a deep voice: "When did you hook up with Xixia?" How much intelligence was sent?.

Li Chang was silent.

Du Wenhao said coldly: "At this time, you can't look forward and backward, have illusions, you must confess truthfully!" ”

Li Chang's face was cloudy, and he finally raised his head slowly and asked, "What you just answered was wrong, can you really spare my life and my family's life?" ”

"The Empress Dowager has authorized me to directly kill and seize the power of officials below the third rank who commit serious crimes of rebellion, and you know it, so I can decide your life and death, but it is still that one, you must confess and report enough valuable things, this is the premise!"

"Good! I say. Li Chang swallowed hard, "After the battle of Yongle City, our army triumphed all the way, and the Western Xia army was defeated by our army's epidemic weapons, and they were very panicked, so they met me through Cai Jing's relationship

"Cai Jing?" Du Wenhao asked urgently, "Kaifeng Mansion Yin Caijing?" ”

"Yes. He had a relative who was doing business in Western Xia. It's been many years. I got to know a lot of the Tangut royal family, and after the Tangut people got to know me, they spent a lot of money to buy me off and let me provide them with information. ”

, Wanbi

Du Wenhao chuckled in his heart, thinking that Cai Tou, the relative who stumped Cai Jing, was a double agent? This is important news, so don't be alarmed. Double agents can sometimes do the unexpected!

Du Wenhao asked, "What information did you provide to them?" ”

"I don't know anything about battle planning, but I've always had a good relationship with Privy Envoy Han Jin. He spent a lot of money and bribes, dragged him into the water, and heard about the operational arrangements of our army formulated by the Privy Council, and provided them to Western Xia. ”

Du Wenhao finally understood. Why did our army in the case of fatigue weapons, the early stage was like a bamboo, but in the later stage it was controlled everywhere, and finally defeated Yongle City, it turned out that there were internal ghosts in the imperial court, and all the battle plans formulated by the Privy Council were leaked to the Tangut people, and the Tangut people were able to annihilate 200,000 Song troops in Yongle City, resulting in the biggest defeat in the history of the Songxia War!

It turned out that the culprits turned out to be this upright imperial historian Li Chang and Han Jin, who was assigned to Hainan!

It's a shame that he still feels sorry for Na Fu Zhen to be matched with Hainan, if what Li Chang said is true, not only is it not worthy of sympathy, but it also makes him lose his head!

Du Wenhao also understood why Li Chang didn't mention the issue of sparing his life at the beginning, and later repeatedly asked Du Wenhao to spare his life. It turned out that he knew that if he confessed this matter, he would definitely die.

However, Du Wenhao did not regret the promise he had made before, and the importance of pursuing the sins of the parties now was not as important as obtaining more useful information, digging out the ghosts in the court, and providing useful information for the current military operations as much as possible. If Li Chang can provide useful information, it doesn't matter if his head doesn't fall off.

I didn't expect that I was fighting crookedly, I just wanted to find out some of Li Chang's hair, and I just didn't want to hinder the reform of the army, but I didn't expect that he had a heart, "We must make good use of it, chase and fight hard, and investigate to the end."

Du Wenhao stood up, walked around a few times with his hands behind his back, figured out this question, turned around and asked, "In addition to providing our army's battle plan, what else have you done?" ”

"There is no other job"

"Nonsense! Back then, Emperor Huizong was ready to dedicate Henan to my Great Song Dynasty, in order to form an alliance with my Great Song Dynasty and kill the Empress Dowager Liang, but the news was revealed.

Li Chang hurriedly said: "My lord, this is really not me, I really don't know about it." I even told me about leaking the battle plan for the Battle of Yongle City. And why hide it? I didn't do it, and this is the first time I've heard about it from an adult

"And who do you think is possible?"

I really don't know, but such a confidential thing should be known only by Jaeji. Maybe it's Han Jin, I don't know. ”

"What other information did you provide to Western Xia?"

"It's really gone, after I got the battle plan from Han Jin, I gave it to the Tanguts, and I didn't give them anything else. This time, they came to ask me to find a way to remove the coach, or change the battle plan, "I originally wanted to talk to Han Jin about this, but the last incident happened, I was dismissed, and Han Jin was also demoted to Hainan, so this matter was put on hold." Xixia asked me to think of a way again, but I never thought about what to do, so he stayed at my house until he was caught. ”

Du Wenhao secretly called it a fluke, if it wasn't for this incident that temporarily disrupted their plan, who knew what trouble would have happened. Before Qu Zhen and the others led the army, they had repeatedly explained that they must strictly implement the battle plan step by step, and now it seems that it has achieved results, and Western Xia has already panicked.

Du Wenhao asked again: "Then what else have you done that violated the king's law?" ”

"The other thing is the bribery of officials who are corrupt and pervert the law. In total, he took bribes more than 10 times. Do you want to say it again and again?

"Don't worry about this, you go down and write them down for me. I want you to report others now, this is what matters, you just confessed your crime, and also reported Han Jin's bribery by you to provide a battle plan, because you are a joint crime, and it is your obligation to report and expose the co-defendants, which is not considered meritorious service, and it is not enough to reduce your criminal responsibility. The person you confess to bribe you must also confess to the crime of accepting bribes, and it cannot be regarded as meritorious service, so you must provide something more valuable. ”

Li Chang nodded, swallowed again, and said: "I know that some officials may have connections with Western Xia, because Xizuo Xizuo once asked me about the status and role of these people in the imperial court, and it is estimated that they want to bribe these people. But whether it was bought or not, I don't know

Du Wenhao's heart moved, this is a good clue: "Okay, you write down the names and positions of these people, if you find out that there are people who have been bought by Western Xia, you can be regarded as meritorious!" ”

When Li Chang heard this, he immediately perked up and agreed again and again.

After Du Wenhao asked repeatedly, he believed that Li Chang didn't know anything else, so he gave up and asked him to write the names of those individuals to himself, and then slowly explained who bribed him.

After Du Wenhao came out, he immediately called Shen Shengping, director of the Internal Intelligence and Special Services Department, handed him the list, and asked him to immediately organize a day and night surveillance of these people, and at the same time, conduct an external investigation.

Shen Shengping didn't ask how the news came from, he bowed down and agreed, took the list, turned around and was about to leave, Du Wenhao stopped him again, and said in a low voice: "You send a few henchmen alone, and keep an eye on Cai Jing day and night, and send some other people to the Songxia border to secretly stare at Cai Jing's relative Cai Tou, that is, the director of the Xixia Division of the Foreign Intelligence Secret Service Department!" But be careful not to startle the snake."

Shen Shengping was taken aback, and finally asked in a low voice: "Grandpa Guo, could it be that this Cai Jing was also bought by Western Xia?" ”

"Probably, though, don't touch him yet, keep a secret surveillance. This line is still useful to me. In addition, you also have to make some efforts to organize an intelligence network for Western Xia alone, and don't let Cai Jing know

"Yes!" Shen Shengping agreed.

Du Wenhao said again: "You immediately send a special action team to secretly arrest Han Jin and bring him back."

Shen Shengping was even taken aback: "Wasn't Han Zhen relegated to Hainan?" ”

Du Wenhao didn't buy Fu Zhen by Xixia and leak the battle plan of Yongle City, the less he knew about this kind of thing, the better, nodded and said: "Yes, he has been away from Zhuocheng for more than ten days, but they can't go fast, they should be able to catch up soon, and they want to arrest him secretly, and he can't let others know, understand?" ”

"My subordinates understand! Please rest assured that Shen Shengping, who would arrest him safely, bowed down and said, then turned around and went out.
