Yang Guang didn't understand for a while, why Zhang Heng immediately remembered to report to him that Gao Liansheng and the two Mei brothers were neighbors after reading the complaint letter written by Yu Xiaoren, and stared at him with eyes, wanting to hear him make further explanations.

"Lord, judging from General Yu's letter, Gao Liansheng seems to have fled back to Goguryeo in fear of crime, but the lower officials think about it carefully, Gao Liansheng is the uncle of Goguryeo King Gao Tang, and it has long been an open secret that he acts as an eyeliner for Goguryeo in Chang'an, and Goguryeo has already declared himself a minister to the court at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, and he is not an enemy country with my Great Sui. Under such circumstances, why did Gao Liansheng rush to flee back to Goguryeo? Don't you think there's something strange about this matter? ”

"But what does this have to do with the fact that Gao Liansheng and the Mei brothers are neighbors? Jianping, don't you want to say that Gao Liansheng lives next to the Mei family, and he is also a member of the 'Goose's Nest', right? Yang Guang listened to Zhang Heng's explanation, quite disappreciative, and half-jokingly joked with him.

"A few years ago, on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the last general really checked this Uncle Wang of Goguryeo." Qu Tutong suddenly interjected, "As a result, after nearly a year of investigation, I didn't find any famous names, and Gao Liansheng almost never sent valuable information to Goguryeo. ”

Yang Guang couldn't help but remind him: "General Qu, have you taken someone to check the 'Haidongqing' that Gao Liansheng is selling in the 'Gao Ji Leather Goods Store'?" Not long ago, this king also asked him to help and use 'Hai Dongqing' to deliver a message to Chang'an? ”

"Carrier pigeons have always been used to transmit information, and it is the first time that the last general has heard of using a falcon to report the news, so it was the last general's carelessness." Qu Tutong's face turned red, and he also got up to apologize to Yang Guang.

"Although Xia Guan does not dare to assert that Gao Liansheng and the Mei brothers live next to each other, he must be an accomplice of the Mei brothers, but he also has to remind the prince not to ignore any clues to solve the 'Wild Goose's Nest case." Zhang Heng earnestly persuaded Yang Guangdao to wake up.

"Well, 'Gao Ji Leather Goods Store' is open in Chang'an East City, but Gao Liansheng has set up a home in Xicheng, Jianping, you have some truth." Yang Guang heard Zhang Heng say solemnly, calmed down and thought about it, and said in a deep voice, "However, Gao Liansheng has now left Xiaoren behind and fled back to Goguryeo alone, no matter what he is afraid of in his heart, for now, it seems that he no longer has the conditions to make trouble in Chang'an." Therefore, for the time being, there is no need to put more people to monitor the Gao Mansion, just order people to monitor the Mei Mansion at the same time, and pay a little attention to whether the Gao and Mei families are secretly in contact. Jianping, what do you say? ”

Zhang Heng relied on his intuition, although he thought that it was no coincidence that Gao Liansheng and the Mei brothers lived next to each other, but because Gao Liansheng himself was now thousands of miles away in Goguryeo, it was difficult to find out whether there was any secret correspondence between him and the Mei brothers, so he had to nod his head and agree with Yang Guang's proposition.

At the same time that Qu Tutong was ordered to rush to the Jin Palace, report to Yang Guang, and meet with Yang Guang and Zhang Heng to discuss the case, the crown prince Yang Yong had already gone to Linde Hall to bid farewell to Yang Jian and was going to return to Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Last night, the crown prince Yang Yong planted in the eyes of Daxing Palace-Wan Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Linshu Palace, quietly slipped to the Splendid Palace and reported to him a news that made Yang Yong panic: Yang Jian had secretly ordered the general of the right guard, Yang Xiong, the king of Guangping, to go to the eastern capital to verify the sixth rate of the eastern palace.

After Yang Yong got the report, he didn't sleep all night, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he decided to return to Dongdu in person to properly dispose of the seven or eight thousand soldiers of the sixth rank of the East Palace outside the army establishment, so as not to let Yang Xiong find out the truth and bring disaster to himself.

When the crown prince has been assisting his father in the government for so many years, Yang Yong claims to know his father Yang Jian better than any other brother: he can tolerate his corruption and accept tens of millions of dollars, but he will never forgive himself for keeping tens of thousands of guards without his permission.

Recalling last year, Tang Lingze, the prince's left concubine, strongly persuaded himself to incorporate the extra seven or eight thousand Donggong Liulu sergeants into the Dongdu Army as soon as possible to eliminate future troubles, but it was not long after the Gao De Shangshu case, and Yang Yong was unfavorable when he presided over the interrogation of Liu Yi, Yang Yong did not adopt Tang Lingze's suggestion out of his own safety. Now it seems that even if Yang Xiong went to the Eastern Capital first, as long as he could quickly get out of Chang'an and return to the Eastern Capital, it would still be possible to save the situation, because he knew that Tang Ling had reserved 7,000 troops in the Eastern Capital Army, and it would take at most half a day to incorporate the 7,000 East Palace Six Rates into the Eastern Capital Army.

It was for this reason that early the next morning, Yang Yong took the initiative to rush to Lanzhi Palace to handle the transfer of the case with Yang Guang.

Bidding farewell to Yang Guang and leaving Lanzhi Palace, Yang Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, Yang Guang did not insist on going to the East Palace with him to supervise the case transfer procedures, otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out today.

Driven by the urgency to return to the Eastern Capital, Yang Yong didn't care about going back to the East Palace at this time to discuss with Tang Lingze, Zou Wenteng and other cronies, and went straight to the Linde Hall to find Yang Jian to resign.

When Yang Yong walked into the Linde Hall through the rumor, he saw that Yang Jun, the third brother of Qin in the palace, was reporting to his father, Yang Jianyu, for an envoy.

I only heard Yang Jun say: "According to the instructions of his father, the son has returned to Qinzhou a few days ago to hand over government affairs with Yu Qingze and Changsun Sheng, and there has been no change in the Western Turk Datou recently, please rest assured that my father." The son plans to leave for the south tomorrow and go to Jiangling to take office, I don't know what else the father will explain? ”

"The prince is here too. Ayi, Jiangling is located in a dangerous place, although Hou Liang is subservient to the imperial court, since Xiao Zong succeeded to the throne, Chang'an is far less frequent than his father Xiao Yue, therefore, the first thing you do after you take office is to find out whether Hou Liang and Nan Chen have indeed had secret contacts, and if necessary, you can ask Xiao Zong to see His Majesty in Jinjing at any time in the name of me, so as to prevent trouble. The prince is not only in the eastern capital, but also has the responsibility of coordinating the two platforms of Huainan and Shannan, and he can also choose a day to go to Jiangling to take a walk and shock Houliang. Yang Jian explained to Yang Jun and Yang Yong at the same time.

Yang Yong took advantage of the situation and interjected: "The son is here today to bid farewell to his father. Yesterday, Erchen got a secret report, saying that in the early years, the "Wild Goose's Nest" under the command of the "Thirty-six Exposed" has a resurgence of the ashes, and tens of thousands of new people in the Kanto region are about to be moved into the customs in the near future, and they will go back to the Eastern Capital today. ”

"I'm in such a hurry. How did you do with the transfer of the investigation power to Ah Zong? Yang Jian was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise.

"Back to my father, the delivery of my sons and ministers has been completed."

Yang Jian glanced at Yang Jun on the side, and said: "In this way, you both postpone your respective schedules by one day, and tomorrow I will hold a banquet in Zhengyang Palace, and your queen mother, also called Ah Zong, will go together for your two brothers, how about it?" ”
