Wang Can's interrogation did not go well, and there was no progress for several days, Zhao Ziliang sighed after learning about it: "It seems that this matter has to be handed over to the people of the Six Doors to be responsible, they are dedicated to this!" Did you write to Gong Ren? Did he reply? ”

Wang Can replied: "I replied, saying that the person is already on the way, and he is hurrying to come!" ”

After a few days, the people from Chang'an finally arrived, and this time it turned out to be Hou Tiancheng, the chief catcher of the six gates, who went out in person, and the entourage reached more than 20 people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At that time, the six doors were established with the support of Zhao Ziliang, and at the beginning of its establishment, it was attached to the jurisdiction of Zuo Jin Wuwei, and the recruits were some people from the rivers and lakes, and they were also quite famous people from the rivers and lakes.

After the establishment of the six doors, although the door owner has been replaced several times, but they are all promoted from the inside, from other yamen in the imperial court to transfer people to be the door master can not eat at all, the people below do not buy it at all, this yamen has always been in the hands of Zhao Ziliang, in a difficult period, the officials in view of the six doors do not listen to the command, so they do not allocate funds, so that the six doors are almost disbanded, and later Zhao Ziliang secretly allocated funds to maintain.

"Subordinates, wait for the prince!" Hou Tiancheng and the others immediately bowed down after seeing Zhao Ziliang.

"Get up, get up!" Zhao Ziliang helped everyone up one by one and said: "This time, I brought you from Chang'an, which is thousands of miles away, and it is hard work, this cold winter, you may have to stay here for the New Year!" ”

Hou Tiancheng hugged his fists and said: "Where did the prince say, these six doors were formed with the support of the prince back then, and it was also the prince's full support to maintain them in the most difficult period. ”

"Good, good!" Zhao Ziliang pointed to the chair next to him, "Come, everyone sit, let's sit down and talk!" ”

Zhao Ziliang usually treats his subordinates very easily, he usually doesn't put on a show, and only treats people who make mistakes very harshly.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

After everyone sat down, some maids brought tea for the catchers to enjoy, Zhao Ziliang picked up the teacup and motioned for Hou Tiancheng and others to drink tea, and then began to ask about the current situation of the six doors.

"Mr. Hou, more than ten years have passed, how are the six doors developing now? Do you have branches in various locations? ”

Hou Tiancheng hugged his fists and replied: "Back to the prince, after the establishment of the six gates, the support of the prince in the early stage developed relatively smoothly, and more than a dozen big cities across the Tang Dynasty have established branches, and later there were ministers in the court who did not like the style of their subordinates and others, thinking that we have been with the people in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and many times have violated the rules of the court in handling cases, so they want to reform the six doors, but the subordinates all know that the six doors are a special yamen, and many things cannot be done in full accordance with the regulations of the imperial court. If the system is reformed, it will inevitably weaken the ability of the six doors to handle cases, so the subordinates are strongly opposed, and the above is also angry, and wants to remove the door owner, cut the funds to curb and punish me, etc., and then the prince allocated funds to maintain the six doors, two years ago An Lushan rebellion once entered Chang'an, our six doors also suffered a military disaster, many of them died and were separated in the war, and the imperial court did not allocate funds, so the situation of the six doors is becoming more and more difficult, and many branches around the country have been abolished."

Zhao Ziliang said to Du Fu: "Mr. Du, spend one million yuan from the account office to Mr. Hou to catch the head!" ”

Hou Tiancheng opened his mouth and said, "Lord Wang・・・・・・"

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand: "If there is turmoil today, and some evil forces on the rivers and lakes are rising again, although they will not necessarily get better without them in this world, at least it will not get worse!" We're not trying to eradicate them, and we can't! There are many martial arts and skills on the rivers and lakes that are created by the ancestors after countless efforts and research, and it took a lot of effort to create, these martial arts and skills themselves are not good or bad and evil, those who use them use them in the right way, they are good, and those who use them use them to do bad things, they are bad! From ancient times to the present, it is precisely because the rulers taboo 'chivalry and martial arts', and suppressed the people in the rivers and lakes, resulting in the loss of a lot of martial arts and skills, which is the loss of our Chinese nation, we must preserve these martial arts and skills left by our ancestors, and carry them forward if we have the ability, they are treasures, which are the characteristics of our Chinese country, which are not available in any other country and nation! The duty of the Six Gates is not to eliminate all the people in the rivers and lakes, but to regulate their behavior, to restrict them from using their martial arts and skills to do bad things, and to let them know that they will be punished for doing wrong things! ”

Hou Tiancheng was convinced, and said humbly: "In the past, our vision was narrow, like sitting in a well and watching the sky, but today after listening to the words of the prince, I suddenly felt like an empowerment and a mouthful, and my subordinates knew what to do!" ”

A servant girl came over and said, "Lord, the banquet is ready!" ”

When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he said to Hou Tiancheng: "Let's eat first, and then work!" ”

"So it will disturb the prince!"

Hou Tiancheng and the others originally wanted to come and start working, but Zhao Ziliang ordered people to prepare a banquet to pay attention to them, they didn't know how to raise if they didn't eat, and they themselves were also people in the rivers and lakes, especially paying attention to etiquette and humility, and they couldn't lose when they were in office.

After drinking and eating, Zhao Ziliang asked Wang Can to hand over a few captured assassins to Hou Tiancheng, and at the same time sent thirty personal guards to be dispatched by Hou Tiancheng, and Hou Tiancheng and others quickly entered the state and began to work.

I have to say that the effect of leaving professional things to professional people to do is undoubtedly much better, and only four days later, Hou Tiancheng caught another assassin who escaped and also pried open the mouths of these assassins.

Hou Tiancheng immediately came to report to Zhao Ziliang: "Lord Wang, we have captured one of the remaining assassins, and we have also learned some news from the mouths of these assassins, they are from the 'Tianxiang Building'!" ”

"Tianxiang Building? Sounds like the name of a green building, where is it? Zhao Ziliang asked.

Hou Tiancheng said with a smile: "Lord Wang, it's not the name of Qinglou, Tianxianglou is the name of an assassin sect, they are the assassins of Tianxianglou!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Oh? I see! Any other news? ”

"Yes, according to the confessions of these assassins, they have been adopted by Tianxianglou since they were seven or eight years old and have been taught martial arts and assassination techniques, while also reading and reading! The person who adopted them was the owner of Tianxianglou, the real name of this person is unknown, the people of Tianxianglou call him 'the door master', and the people on the rivers and lakes call him 'Wuyunzi', this is a person who looks kind on the surface, but in fact he is ruthless, no one knows whether he is a man or a woman, how old he is, he wears a mask when he meets anyone, and his voice can't tell the difference between men and women! ”

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and said: "The more mysterious it is, the tighter the organization of the assassin sect, the greater the harm to the imperial court, to the people, and to the whole world. Today I see that you are not happy, so I will ask the assassin to kill you, and tomorrow I will ask the assassin to kill whoever is not pleasing to the eye. In this way, the whole world will become panicked, so what future does our nation have? I, the king of the county, am in danger of being assassinated by assassins, let alone ordinary people? ”

Hou Tiancheng nodded and said, "What the prince said is very true!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Is there any other news about Tianxianglou?" ”

Hou Tiancheng said: "These assassins don't know each other, they came from all over the world to assassinate the prince when they received the news from the top of Tianxiang Tower, they don't even know how big Tianxiang Tower is, they don't know where the main hall is, but their subordinates have some understanding of their organizational structure!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought to himself, no wonder in the late Tang Dynasty in history became a world of killer assassins, all over the feudal towns raised dead soldiers and killers, assassinated each other, to see which official in the imperial court was unhappy, but also sent assassins to assassinate, which caused the political situation in the late Tang Dynasty to become more and more chaotic, it seems that the signs of assassins are now appearing.

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Do you know why Tianxianglou sent assassins to assassinate me?" ”

Hou Tiancheng shook his head and said: "There is no news about this for the time being, only if you catch the person who is responsible for contacting Tianxianglou to contact the commission, it is possible to find out the mastermind behind the scenes!" ”

Wang Can said beside him: "Lord Wang, could it be the Tianxiang Building hired by a certain senior member of the imperial court?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "I haven't found out anything practical, who can say for sure?" Maybe An Qingxu is going to kill me? It's not out of the question! ”

After speaking, Zhao Ziliang said to Hou Tiancheng: "This matter will be handed over to you to be fully responsible for the investigation, although the organization of Tianxianglou is strict, but it is not without loopholes, I really don't believe that there is an impeccable organizational system in this world, to track down, I think the easiest thing to find useful things should be their contact information, start from their contact information, how the upper layer of Tianxianglou contacted the assassins below, follow these clues to check up, don't be anxious, you can consider putting a long line to catch a big fish!" ”

Hou Tiancheng agreed: "Don't worry, your subordinates understand!" ”

Zhao Ziliang always believes that anyone's resources are not as sufficient as the resources of the imperial court, Tianxianglou is an assassin sect formed by a private person, the resources must be limited, the organizational system, the contact between members will not be too advanced, the most advanced contact method in this era is the use of carrier pigeons and eagle training, raising carrier pigeons is relatively simple, but carrier pigeons have great restrictions on transmitting information, and eagle raising requires professional eagle training personnel, but also to be able to capture eagles, it is almost impossible for private people to use eagle training to transmit information, Even the imperial court does not have the talents and resources in this area, and there will be a big loophole in the use of manual means to transmit news, and some clues can be found by tracing along the way of transmitting news, unless Hou Tiancheng and others are too stupid, but Hou Tiancheng and they are not stupid people.
