"The last general was ordered to come and report to the prince on his mission, and he did not dare to sit and speak." Qu Tutong still stood up in front of Yang Guang, and said loudly, "Lord Wang, at the end of today, I have received an order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to prepare the files and materials for the prince to investigate the case of Nan Chen Xizuo in the past few years. ”

"Didn't you also take the people of your headquarters to return to the king's control, and continue to investigate the case with the king? The matter of reviewing the file is not busy, General Qu, please sit down and speak. Yang Guang invited Qu Tutong to sit down again and speak.

Qu Tutong barely sat down at this time.

"General Qu, I invite you to come here today, just because this king wants to ask in person, do you have Nan Chen Xiaozuo in your hand right now?"

Qu Tutong instinctively stood up, clenched his fists and replied: "Back to the prince, the last general will be ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to only be responsible for monitoring and tracking Nanchen Xizuo in Chang'an City, and beware of them from making trouble in the imperial capital. At present, the general's subordinates are monitoring and guarding five Chang'an residents who are suspected of being Nanchen, and three of them can be preliminarily determined to be from the 'Wild Goose's Nest'. ”

Yang Guangmian was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly urged Qu Tutong to talk about the specific situation of these five people in detail.

Qu Tuyong has followed Yang Guang to investigate the case of Shiwu Yuan since the first year of the emperor's reign, and has been following the crown prince Yang Yong to investigate the case of Nan Chen in the past few years.

Yang Guang listened to Qu Tutong's report, and did not hear any information about the "Mei's Tomb Ceremony" and his intentions, so he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Heng in disappointment, and asked Qu Tutong: "Among the three people who can be preliminarily determined to be the 'Wild Goose's Nest', have you found that any of them have been to the 'Mei's Tomb Ceremony' in the West City of Chang'an Xindu, or have they been involved with Wanshanni Temple?" ”

Qu Tutong replied with a smile: "Don't hide it from the prince, the sergeant under the command of the last general has already discovered that the prince sent someone to secretly monitor the mind master of Wanshanni Temple, but I don't know that the prince sent someone to monitor the mind master is suspected of having something to do with the 'wild goose's nest." The three generals mentioned by the prince had personally led people to monitor and track, and all three of them were drunkards and never went to the temple. The prince just mentioned what kind of tomb in the West Market......"

Zhang Heng hurriedly interjected and reminded him: "'Mei's Tomb Ceremony'." ”

"Yes, it's this 'Mei's Tomb Ceremony', one of the three is named Fang Shihong, a scholar, it seems that he often goes to this bookstore, but in addition to buying books in the store, I have never seen him have more dealings with the shopkeeper in the store." Qu Tutong once personally followed Fang Shihong to the "Mei's Tomb Ceremony" and answered very firmly.

"Can you be sure that Fang Shihong is from the 'Wild Goose's Nest'?" Yang Guang's eyes lit up, and he stared at Qu Tutong and asked.

"Because Fang Shihong's family lives near the prison, Xiao Wujian was killed in the prison in the second year of the emperor's reign, and the last general personally led people to target him. But after so many years, except for seeing him often go to the bookstore to buy books, I haven't seen him behave out of line. If it weren't for his accomplices, who insisted that he was also a member of the 'Goose's Nest', the last general would have thought that he was targeting the wrong person. ”

"So, you've been watching him for so many years and haven't touched him, have you?" Zhang Heng asked coldly about the Qutu channel.

"Yes, when Fang Shihong was first discovered, the last general was full of thought that he had caught a big fish, but after a few years of surveillance, he found that he was a poor and sour scholar, not like a weighty character." Qu Tutong didn't understand why Yang Guang and Zhang Heng only had a strong interest in Fang Shihong, and muttered and replied.

"In the past few years, have you never found any signs of Guan Zizi's activities in Chang'an City?" Yang Guang firmly remembered the name Fang Shihong in his heart, and continued to ask Qu Tutong.

"When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ordered to interrogate the rebel minister Liu Yi, the last general also participated. At that time, according to Liu Yi's confession, Guan Zizai had repeatedly sent people to infiltrate his mansion and convey instructions to him. And Liu Yi confessed that Guan Zizai had always taken the initiative to find him, but he didn't know where to find Guan Zizai. It's a pity that Liu Yi died soon after, otherwise more information about Guan Zizi could be interrogated from his mouth. Qu Tutong said, shaking his head regretfully.

Yang Guang today is the second time to hear that Shu Guogong Liu Yi has accepted the instructions issued by Guan Zizi many times, for some reason, he suddenly remembered Su Yi'er who committed suicide by biting her tongue on the main hall of Hongsheng Palace more than ten days ago: Su Yi'er is Liu Yi's eyeliner placed in the palace before his death, this is beyond doubt, and from the fact that the evil ghost asked him for help and hung the obscene clothes worn by the woman on the beam outside the Linde Palace, it is speculated that most of the evil ghost is using Su Yi'er secretly acting as Liu Yi's eyeliner in the palace to blackmail him into making trouble. Things like acting as the eyeliner of the foreign minister in the palace, he was sure that it was the biggest secret between Liu Yi and Su Yi'er, but how did that evil ghost know?

"Lord Wang, from this point of view, the weight of Shu Guogong Liu Yi in Guan Zizai's eyes is not light, and he actually worked to give instructions to Liu Yi in person, and more than once." Zhang Heng listened to Qu Tutong's report and seemed to sigh with emotion.

Yang Guang suddenly woke up from his contemplation, and saw that Qu Tutong had nothing more to report to him, so he said to him: "Since General Qu has come to report to this king, you might as well stay and listen to the progress of the investigation of other aspects of this case, and it is good to know that there will be no conflicts between several people in the future." ”

Qu Tutong received the order and sat back down.

"Jianping, is there any new news from Shinshu?" Yang Guang turned to Zhang Heng and asked.

Zhang Heng then remembered that he still had a letter from Yu Xiaoren in his arms asking the Yingzhou Post Station to send it back to the palace with six hundred miles in an expedited manner, and shook his head, saying that Xian Yuluo and Xiao Xiao had no news to report back yet, and at the same time took out the letter from his arms, got up and presented it to Yang Guang, and explained to him: "Xiaguan forgot for a while, this letter has arrived in the palace three days ago......"

Yang Guang knew that Zhang Heng had to take care of maintaining law and order in the capital and assisting him in clearing the Guan Zizi case at the same time in the past few days, so he couldn't help but be negligent in his busy schedule, so he didn't blame him, and took the letter from Zhang Heng with a smile and took a look.

Looking at it, Yang Guang's face became gloomy, and after reading the letter written by Yu Xiaoren, he handed it to Zhang Heng, and said angrily: "Jianping, you can also take a look." This Gao Liansheng doesn't plan to return to Chang'an. ”

Zhang Hengzhan looked at the letter, and after reading Yu Xiaoren's letter to Yang Guang accusing Gao Liansheng of abandoning himself at the border of Goguryeo and returning to China alone, he immediately got up and apologized to Yang Guang again: "Please make an official errand under the rule of the prince." Reading General Yu's letter reminded Xia Guan of one thing: Gao Liansheng also lived in Qinxianli, and was only separated by a wall from the Mei brothers' house. ”
