Chapter 42: I Brought Things Back
Qu Tugai and Wei Fusi immediately knew that something was wrong, there was a mystery in Yang Chong's words, but Yu Shinan was a gentleman, thinking that everything should be said to others, so he blurted out: "Speak." ”
Yang Chong said: "Xiaguan believes that the Chijin Turks are related to some people in our Great Sui territory, and the previous tragic attack on the Du family caravan and our ambush in the west of the Hulu River were all premeditated events. When I learned that it was Shatuozhai who saved us, I was even more convinced of this, so I hoped to ask for some clues from the Turks, and it was for this reason that I brought Tong Yehu to Chang'an, so that the Holy Son of Heaven or Shangfeng could ask questions. ”
Yu Shinan understood that he had asked about the disaster, Qu Tugai and the others kept complaining in their hearts, the three of them were all high-ranking officials, with deep connections and backgrounds, and they knew a little bit about the Du family's caravan, of course, they knew that Yang Chong's guess was somewhat reasonable. The clues that Yang Chong said were even more terrifying, but at this point, he couldn't stop, and Wei Fusi asked dryly: "Can you tell the clues?" ”
"Yes." Yang Chong said without hesitation: "The betrayal of the Du family must be someone from the official mansion, someone leaked the news from the Western Regions, you can react to the center, and they can investigate the results." ”
Wei Fusi remembered part of what he heard in the center, and immediately said: "This matter is very important, why don't the four of us meet Su Xiang and King Guan together." ”
Qu Tugai and Yu Shinan nodded again and again, some things still don't know as well, the four of them rushed to Shangshutai, and happened to meet Duhu usurped, and they just symbolically saluted each other, and Duhu usurped and left. The four of them walked into the council hall after the briefing, and Yang Xiong, Su Wei, Gao Gong, Changsun Sheng, Pei Ju, Yang Da, and Yu Wenshu were sitting inside; Su Wei asked, "Lord Wei, is Yang Chong's investigation complete?" ”
Wei Fusi bowed his head and said: "We can ask the question clearly, in that part, Yang Chong did nothing wrong. But there are some things that we don't know, so we brought Yang Chong here. ”
Gao Gong's face was pale: "Yang Chong, you have no respect for your elders, and even a good old man like Niu Hong is angry, it's really lawless." ”
Yang Chong said coldly: "Gao Xiang's words are serious, what I said is just the truth, Lord Niu is a reasonable person, so he doesn't want to do meaningless things anymore." ”
Su Wei hurriedly dissuaded: "Let's get down to business first, Yang Chong, you tell me about the secret operation, Master Wei, they are not outsiders." ”
As soon as Yang Chong promised, he told the matter of the action team, Wei Fusi and the three of them knew how big a pit they had fallen into, once this kind of thing was known, they would definitely not be able to get out from it from now on, no wonder Yang Chong didn't care about anything, only considered returning to Chang'an. Solvay asked, "Who do you think leaked the secret?" Except for Duhu Yu, Wei Jie, and Du Xingman, only the seven of us know. ”
Su Wei's words are very heavy, these ten people are all powerful, and any one of them can make Yang Chong die with a finger. Yang Chong looked at the seven people and asked, "Which of you has a connection with Shatuo Village?" The last time you acted, did you ask Shatuozhai to help? ”
Gao Gong had calmed down and replied, "It was me and Su Xiang who sent someone to Shatuo Village to contact, and that person has no problem. ”
Yang Chong shook his head and said, "There are no absolutes, can Gao Xiang tell me the information of that person?" No need to name names. ”
Yang Chong's attitude was so calm, Yang Xiong and the others also secretly appreciated it, Gao Gong said slowly: "He is a famous family, willing to give up glory and wealth, and has been lurking in the Western Regions and Saibei for a long time, and it is he who has been connected with many places such as Shatuozhai. After the accident, I asked him that when the Du family's convoy was sniped, he and the people from Shatuozhai were still on the road, two hours apart. ”
"Why is there a difference of two hours, he is not alone, he is a group, he is so experienced, he should arrange a person to follow the Du family caravan, at least like the Turks, he can't decide the result and see a process." Yang Chong didn't leave any emotion at all, because the people who Gao Gong valued should not have the ability to deal with the problem; Gao Gong looked at the people in the hall and said, "He arranged for a person to wait on the road ahead, but the Du family's convoy is the same as you, because they don't believe in us, they change the route without authorization." ”
Yang Chong smiled understandingly and said: "So it was not the Chijin Turk who wanted us to die, but you and that person, you deliberately let out the wind twice, just to use us as a bait to fish out the Chijin Turk." ”
"It's not us." Gao Gong immediately denied that Yang Chong's words were too heavy, and if he delayed the affairs of the imperial court and the Son of Heaven for his own purposes, even if he was as noble as Gao Gong, he would not be able to afford it. Yang Chong didn't intend to let go of Gao Gong, and continued: "Gao Xiang, many people are doing business with the Eastern and Western Turks now, some are legal, some are illegal, illegal business is secret, and it also belongs to the other party's intelligence, if you get it, what are you going to do, is it to make everything public, or selectively make it public?" ”
The cold air in the council hall is pressing, even if all the doors and windows are closed, the people in the hall are feeling that the temperature is dropping rapidly, and what Yang Chong is asking is actually whether you will use this to hit your opponent. Gao Gong didn't answer, Yang Chong smiled: "I'm sorry, Gao Xiang, in fact, I shouldn't have asked." Today, I was investigated, and I have already explained how you and Su Xiang will choose, but I tell you that I brought back what the ironworks wanted. ”
After Yang Chong finished speaking, he took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, put them on the table in the council hall, and then stood aside; Guan Wang Yang Xiong walked over, picked up the paper, read it one by one, and said in a deep voice: "This king went out for a trip, just when Yang Chong came back, you can deduce the changes in the Western Regions." ”
Yang Xiong left, except for Yang Da who briefly said a few words about the situation, no one had the heart to discuss, Yang Da smiled, let everyone sit and rest, and asked the guards to prepare meals and arrange dinner. When everyone finished eating, Yang Xiong, the king of Guan, came back, looked at Yang Chong and said: "I have seen it in Caotang Temple, and the content is very similar to that cloth, but I don't know if it is all, and the meaning of many words cannot be grasped." Yang Chong, you say, how did you get it? ”
This is not obtained at all, this is the passage that Yang Chong copied from the book with the nest two days before he left, and it was old, Yang Chongyuan used it to save his life at a specific time, and now he takes it out and fools around. Yang Chong said solemnly: "Before I find out the leak, I can't say how many people's lives and innocence are at stake." ”
All the bigwigs were angry, and Yang Chong's attitude was still suspicious that the leaker was among them; Wei Fusi and the three of them were a little gloating, this kind of thing is really uncertain, Guan Wang Yang Xiong was helpless, so he had to take Yang Chong to see Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui.
