Liang Chao was beheaded as Chen Xuanli's nephew, and more than sixty percent of the guards, captains, soldiers and officials of the left prison saw it with their own eyes, which greatly shocked everyone. After that, the generals and soldiers under the guards of the left prison no longer dared to take the door registration system as a child's play.

In the next few days, some lieutenants, generals, and soldiers under the guards of the left prison were arrested and punished by the prison Cao because of lax military discipline and sparse drills, and the punishment was more severe than many people imagined.

The strictness of law and order made the captains and soldiers of the prison gate dare not slack off in the slightest, and the inspection of the people, officials, and soldiers who enter and leave the gates is stricter, which to a great extent prevents the gangsters from entering the city to commit crimes, and also brings inconvenience and even trouble to many people. Especially those high-ranking officials, nobles, and relatives of the emperor, some people were not convinced, and insisted on trying the law enforcement strength of the left prison guards.

For a time, Zhao Ziliang became a very cool official in the circle of the noble children and the upper class in Chang'an City, and the word cool official sounds like an explanation of "cruel official" or "cold official", which has a bit of a derogatory taste, but whether it is positive or derogatory, it depends on which angle to look at this problem. In the eyes of some people, the cool officials are the emperor's doglegs, the sharp blades that the emperor uses to deal with some disobedient people, while in the eyes of others, the cool officials are the iron-faced and selfless officials, the blue sky, and the upright officials who specialize in dealing with evil forces. In the eyes of ordinary people, Zhao Ziliang is a good official, those who usually bully the market, bully men and women, and do all kinds of evil, and the nobles and nobles no longer dare to do evil at will because of Zhao Ziliang's existence, but these people hate Zhao Ziliang to death, and many conceited and armed people came to the door to teach him a lesson, but he beat him all over the ground looking for teeth. After seven or eight masters of martial arts were subdued, no one dared to come to the door to find fault, these people could only burn incense every day to worship and hope that Zhao Ziliang would be unlucky as soon as possible.

Wang Can found a few houses in the city, Zhao Ziliang went to look around, and took a fancy to one of them, located in Shengpingfang, near the Great Ci'en Temple in Wannian County, and it is not very far from Dongshi, the geographical location is good, and the price is not expensive, Zhao Ziliang immediately bought it. The next day, the whole family mobilized, first walked around in the West Market for a morning, bought some daily necessities, and bought some things in the East Market in the afternoon to decorate the new home, but most of the servants and subordinates still stayed in the Zhuangzi, only Chen Qingying, Wang Zhiyun, Zhao Hu, an account room, two families and two maids moved over, lived in the city on weekdays, went to Zhuangzi outside the city for a few days every month, and then went to live for a period of time during the New Year's Festival.

Early in the morning. Zhao Ziliang was practicing his sword in the garden, and Wang Can rushed over and shouted, "General??????"

Zhao Ziliang stopped and said, "What?" It's so early in the morning, can't there be another guy who doesn't open his eyes to find a beating? ”

"No, no, no!" Wang Can immediately said, walked over and whispered in Zhao Ziliang's ear: "Last time, the general asked his subordinates to investigate the matter of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace and the news outside the palace. Now there are eyebrows! ”

"Oh? What's the situation? Come, let's go to the study and sit down!" Zhao Ziliang wiped his sweat and said.

"No!"

After the two came to the study, Wang Can sat down and said, "General, my subordinates will take people to investigate according to the clues you provided." It was found that one of the eunuchs and a palace maid had met with the same person after leaving the palace, and the meeting place was in an ordinary teahouse, and we followed this person all the time. We found that he went to the Zhongshu Ling and Shangshu left servant shot Li Linfu's house and never came out, and then we waited until the next day, this person came out of Li Linfu's house again, and then we checked the identity of this person, and found that his name was Ma Liu, and he was a high-class family member in Li Linfu's family, and then we found that this person had many contacts with the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace several times in a row, but they were very vigilant, we were not good at them to figure out the content of the message, and we also found that someone did fly from the palace to the palace with pigeonsAs for whether there is a secret passage in the palace leading to the outside of the palace and whether there is someone to pass the news from the drainage ditch inside the palace, we have not yet found out".

Zhao Zi said in his conscience that Li Linfu really obtained the news of the emperor and concubines by bribing the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and it is no wonder that Li Linfu was able to win the emperor's favor everywhere.

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and said to Wang Can: "Tomorrow, a certain guard in the left prison will arrange a position for you, well, you will be Gong Ren's deputy to facilitate your actions, and you can freely enter and exit the imperial city and palace gate with this identity to inspect the sentry and investigate whether there are any violations of discipline, give me a good job!" First secretly arrested Ding Maliu, the high-ranking family in Li Linfu's family, and several eunuchs and palace maids who came into contact with him, and interrogated them strictly! ”

Wang Can stood up: "No! ”

Coming out of the study and watching Wang Can leave, Zhao Ziliang turned to look at Zhao Hu, who was squatting on the horse, was lazy, and immediately shouted: "Zhao Hu, what are you doing?" Are you squatting? Start the clock all over again! ”

"Ahh Zhao Hu let out an exaggerated scream.

"Call, you call again, don't want to eat this morning, hum!" Zhao Ziliang said as he walked to the weapon rack, picked up the horizontal knife, and continued to practice the knife.

Zhao Hu saw that Zhao Ziliang was going to practice knives again, and he was so envious that he immediately ran over with a shy face and begged: "Second uncle, I beg you, you teach me to practice knives, really, I have been practicing for so many days!" ”

"Go, you little brat, you haven't practiced the basic skills, so you want to practice the knife? How old are you? How many times can you dance with a knife? Lay a solid foundation first and then touch the knife, you are easy to cut yourself by touching the knife now, understand? Go and continue to squat and walk," Zhao Ziliang waved his hand.

Zhao Hu turned around with a bitter face.

A few days later, Wang Can came to report: "General, the subordinates have done it according to your requirements, this harvest is really not small, we found a total of thirty-six eunuchs and palace maids exchanging news with people outside the palace, and these thirty-six eunuchs and palace maids belong to the ears and eyes of the twelve forces outside the palace in the palace, of which there are sixteen people who belong to Li Linfu, and the other twenty people belong to the eleven forces!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang listened a little, this situation had long been expected by him, so he asked, "Who are the other forces?" ”

"The crown prince, Pei Yaoqing, Niu Xianke, two princesses, three princes, and three courtiers!" Wang Can said, you took out a piece of paper from your sleeve and handed it over: "This is the list!" ”

Zhao Ziliang took the list and looked at it, pondered for a moment, and said, "How many people have you arrested now?" Did it happen in secret? ”

Wang Can said: "A total of six have been caught, and the others have not moved for the time being." It's all done in secret, and no one notices! In addition, Li Linfu's Ma Liu was also arrested by us, and we dug out all Li Linfu's eyeliner inside and outside the palace by torturing him."

"Well, let's do it, continue to torture Ma Liu, ask him how to contact all his eyeliners, and then do him, and you will take over all Li Linfu's eyeliners in the future and change the contact information. As for the eyeliner of the other eleven forces, no matter what you think, you must let them pass a copy to us when they deliver the news to people outside the palace, since they are sending news, what is the difference between sending one and sending two? Right? ”

Wang Can's eyes lit up: "General, in this way, we can also know the news that others know!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "You go!" ”

After watching Wang Can leave, Bai Xiaode, who was standing next to him, was puzzled: "General." The last general doesn't understand! ”

"Oh, what don't you understand?" Zhao Ziliang turned his head and asked.

Bai Xiaode touched his head and said, "Since we have learned that these people are delivering news outside the palace, and you are now the general of the left prison guard, shouldn't we arrest them all and deal with them?" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and asked with a smile: "Arrest and dispose of them." What's in it for me? Besides, I'm just a general of the prison guard, and it's not my responsibility for them to pass on news to the outside world, and they don't have any direct actions to endanger the emperor and the imperial court. Also, if I catch them all. Do you know what will happen to me? The people on this list will regard me as an enemy, and these people will account for more than half of the power in the court, and they will attack me collectively. I can't fight them with nine lives, so why poke this hornet's nest? ”

Bai Xiaode pulled the corners of his mouth, touched the back of his head, and looked scared: "The intrigue in the officialdom is too scary, and the subordinates are still willing to fight with the general.

Zhao Ziliang smiled and did not speak.

Wang Can quickly led people to the place where Ma Liu was being held, which was a private house, not far from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and there were not many residents around, so it was relatively secretive.

The reason why Ma Liu is called Ma Liu is not because he has pockmarks on his face, but because his surname is Ma, and because he is the sixth in the family, he is called Ma Liu. Although Ma Liu is only a high-class family member in Li Linfu's mansion, because he does a special job, his salary is not low, he usually eats and drinks enough oil and water, and he is white and fat.

At this time, Ma Liu's embarrassed appearance was tied to the pillar, his face was bruised, obviously beaten, and the robe on his body had already been whipped to tatters, he saw the door opened, and several strong men with masked scarves walked in, and suddenly a heart was raised to the throat.

Wang Can walked up to Ma Liu, held him with a lot of hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Ma Liu, we have checked the list you provided, and there is no problem, very good, it means that you are still very knowledgeable about current affairs, in addition to the people on this list, is there anyone else?" ”

Ma Liu hurriedly said: "This hero, everything I know is here, these people are all developed by the villain himself, as for Li Linfu's subordinates have no other eyeliner, the villain really doesn't know."

Wang Can saw that Ma Liu didn't seem to be lying, and said, "Okay! Ma Liu, you are betraying Li Linfu by doing this, do you think that with his character, he will let you go? ”

Ma Liu's face turned pale when he heard this, thinking of Li Linfu's cruelty, his body couldn't help but tremble.

"Don't be afraid!" Wang Can comforted and said with a smile: "A certain shows you a way, you write out the connection between you and those eyeliners one by one, and then we will give you a sum of money, so that you can go far away, you can go to Mobei, you can also go to the Western Regions, although Li Linfu is powerful, but his hand can't reach these places, you can take this money to spend the rest of your life in those places, do you want to think about it?" ”

Ma Liu shuddered and asked, "What will happen if I don't agree?" ”

Wang Can smiled cruelly: "What do you say? ”

"But what if I write it out and you don't keep your promises?"

"Do you still have a choice?"

Ma Liu finally gave in, after Wang Can asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he quickly wrote out the way of connecting with all the eyeliner, Wang Can took the paper and asked him to repeat it on the spot according to what he wrote, and drew a few joints to ask questions, Ma Liu answered them one by one accurately, which is enough to prove that the joints written by Ma Liu are correct.

Wang Can put away the paper and put it in his arms, nodded to a face-filled man beside him, and the masked man took out a dagger and stabbed it into Ma Liu's heart, Ma Liu's eyes widened, and he pointed at Wang Can and said intermittently: "You don't keep ・・・・・・ ・・・・・・ integrity・・・・・・" After speaking, he died violently.
