Chapter 90 Suspicious dreams in the middle of the night startled by the wind and rain outside the window (6)
Jianzi went to visit Zhang Jinliang, and Li Congjing commented that it was "interesting", but before he finished taking a bath, something more interesting came.
The body that had just been scrubbed clean by Dong Xiaowan was very comfortable, and after a day's fatigue, the whole person seemed to be floating in the clouds, and the ears were full of birds and flowers.
Dong Xiaowan leaned over her soft and hot delicate body at this time, entangled Li Congjing like a snake, her watery eyes were full of confusion, and she was about to make a big move.
Knocking on the door was the fifth girl, separated by a door, the inside and outside were like two worlds, her voice sounded immediately, with the cold outside the house invaded into the house, "Dashuai, Tanzhou urgent report: King Chu died of illness!" ”
Li Congjing's face changed, and she stood up from the bath with a bang, and the splash of water poured Dong Xiaowan's face, causing her to exclaim, "When?" ”
Is the King of Chu dead?
It's time to die!
"Five days ago."
The fifth girl said outside the door.
Li Congjing took a deep breath, pulled Dong Xiaowan up from the water, didn't have the heart to hit a pool of spring light like a banana, and instructed her: "Dress." ”
Coming out of the bath, Li Congjing asked the fifth girl to follow straight to the inner study, and as soon as she sat down, Dong Xiaowan trotted over, served him tea, and helped him wipe his still wet hair.
"What has Wu Guo been doing lately? Is there a movement of troops? ”
Li Congjing's head was wrapped around by Dong Xiaowan like a zongzi, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
"There has been nothing unusual in the previous periodic reports."
Fifth Xiaowan glanced at her and saw that her hair was still **, and the water droplets kept dripping onto Li Congjing's shoulders, frowning slightly.
"Find out what has been going on in the court of Wu recently."
Many thoughts flashed through Li Congjing's mind for a while, and in a flash, he lost his attention to the things around him, Dong Xiaowan wiped his hair for him, and began to comb again, "Let Li Rong go to Jinling." ”
"Let Li Rong go to Jinling?"
This is not a trivial matter, the fifth was a little surprised, "What does the marshal mean, is it possible for Wu to take advantage of the opportunity of the death of the king of Chu to send troops to attack Chu?" ”
"Since Wu won Jiangxi, it has been accumulating national strength for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that the country has been in a state of power transfer and power struggle for power and profit, it would have been long ago to attack the surrounding areas."
Li Congjing's head finally stopped shaking in Dong Xiaowan's hands, "Some time ago, they even had to intervene in the affairs of Jingnan, but now although Xu Zhihe has a monopoly on power, it is precisely when he needs meritorious service to establish prestige, there is no reason to let go of such an opportunity." ”
Li Congjing recalled carefully, the original history of the king of Chu seems to have died around this time, he is not a student of history, and the details of this are not very clear.
While the two were talking, a sharp soldier from the Military Intelligence Department came to report: Su Yuan confessed some noteworthy things.
The sharp soldier of the military intelligence department who came to report was called Song Jiao, Li Congjing had seen her a few times, and knew that she was the fifth girl's henchman before, so he beckoned her to come in and explain clearly.
"In the past few days, Su Yuan has successively explained many situations, and almost all the qiē he knows has resorted to the pen without reservation."
Meng Zhixiang was defeated, Su Yuan himself was also in prison, in order to alleviate his sins, he naturally had to know everything and say everything, Song Jiao continued: "Today Su Yuan confessed that Meng Zhixiang said when he fled Chengdu that he would go to Wu to defect to Xu Zhihe. ”
"Defecting to Xu Zhihe"
Li Congjing groaned, with the situation at that time, Meng Zhixiang had no way to go, and it was indeed a way to take refuge in Xu Zhihe.
Li Congjing suddenly remembered that Tao was dying.
Tao Yaoyao made a special trip to Jinling before, but he didn't stay in Jinling for long, and he didn't seem to do anything, but after leaving Jinling, he went all the way north and went to Khitan.
What is Tao Yao Yao in Jinling?
What do you perceive?
And what made her decide to rush to Khitan?
Because of his withdrawal from the Military Intelligence Department, Tao Xiaoyao's trip to Jinling did not take much action, and he did not inform Li Congjing of any valuable news.
Now that Xichuan is treacherous, all parties seem to have reasons to be involved, and the chessboard of the world's great controversy seems to be surging again, which makes Li Congjing have to think: After Tao Xiaoxiao left Jinling, she didn't leave any news, was it because she didn't find anything, or was she not sure even if she noticed something at that time, so she didn't leave a message in vain?
But in any case, Tao Yao went to the Khitan.
A trace of arc gradually appeared at the corner of Li Congjing's mouth, going north, isn't it a signal left by Tao Yaoyao to him!
Yiqiē was still shrouded behind the dense fog, and his face was blurred, but Li Congjing had already felt that the torrent of the world's great controversy was surging like never before!
And the beginning of Qiē is the next time of the empire's invasion of Shu, and Xichuan is still not very calm.
All prefectures and counties have mobilized troops and errand soldiers, and they are on strict guard against people who are in trouble again, and armor soldiers with knives can be seen everywhere inside and outside the city, and the murderers who caused the death of 21 officials are also being pursued in various places, and groups of Tsing Yi are in some "people"
pounce on suspicious locations one after another.
At the same time, the court officials who had recently gone to various prefectures and counties to take up their posts, together with the original officials in various places, began to carry out the affairs of the reconstruction of Shuzhong and the implementation of the Tiancheng New Deal.
Every day, countless letters and newspapers are sent to Chengdu from all over the world, and Li Congjing, who is in charge of the overall situation in Shuzhong, has to deal with all kinds of affairs related to military and civil affairs and police, and it is difficult to have a moment of leisure day and night.
"As of noon today, a total of 286 suspects have been arrested in various localities, and after rapid interrogation, 53 of them were directly responsible for the attack, and more than 200 were accomplices who responded to the aid."
The fifth girl presented the book in her hand to Li Congjing, "Among the twenty-one murder cases, the suspects in the fifteen murder cases have been arrested, and some of the suspects in the other five murder cases have been arrested, and the suspect in the remaining murder case has not yet been found." ”
"Well done."
Li Congjing took the book and opened it, since the twenty-one murders, there have been no incidents of chaos reported in the state and county, which shows that the preventive measures in various places have played their due role, he sounded, put down the book, and his tone was quite strange, "In this way, almost all the criminals are from Hexi?" ”
"That's true according to the results so far."
The fifth round.
Li Congjing fell silent.
In the land of Hexi, there are constant wars, not to mention that various ethnic groups have been attacking for years, even there are countless robbers and murderers, that is the real land of chaos, in this case, the forces of Hexi have invaded Xichuan so much, what are the plans?
Is it that Hexi can't satisfy their appetite, or that Hexi can't stay any longer, or that they covet the wealth of the land of abundance and want to get their hands on it, or is there another reason?
Do they have the strength to get their hands on Nishikawa?
Li Congjing doesn't think they have.
In Li Congjing's cognition, the Tang Dynasty did not send troops to Hexi, which should be good news for those forces in Hexi, how dare they take the initiative to attack?
Could it be that some of them think that Kyushu has a lot of civil strife and that they can fish in troubled waters?
If that's the case, then the troubled times are really crazy.
"How many strongholds does the MI have in Hexi?"
Li Congjing looked up and asked the fifth girl.
"There are two strongholds, and the number of people is less than thirty."
The fifth girl replied that this was the result of Cao Yijin's envoy coming to Luoyang, and after the Military Intelligence Department was ordered to infiltrate Hexi.
Now the center of gravity of the empire's development is internal, and the opponents or potential opponents are also the northern steppes and the southern vassal states, and the land west of the river cannot be taken into account in the short term, so the military intelligence department has not made much progress in the west of the river.
In addition, although the Military Intelligence Department has some self-profit-making institutional means, after all, it has a large stall and limited human and financial resources, and it is not possible to deploy thousands of people everywhere.
"Summarize the situation in Hexi and present a detailed summary."
Li Congjing instructed the fifth girl, although he didn't quite believe that Hexi had the ability to get involved in Xichuan, but since the current evidence pointed to Hexi, digging into Hexi would always draw some clues, and it was not impossible to follow the vine to touch the melon, as long as there was no more turmoil in Xichuan, he had the time and patience to play slowly with this opponent hidden in the dark.
The fifth girl was about to retreat after receiving the order, but suddenly stopped, turned back to Li Congjing and said, "Meng Yanyi has arrived at the boundary of Hezhou. ”
Li Congjing nodded to indicate that he knew, and did not say much.
Meng Yanyi likes to go wherever he wants, since he won't go back to Luoyang right now, he doesn't need to bring Meng Yanyi back, so he doesn't have the heart to take care of her too much.
After the murderers of the 21 murders were arrested one after another, Xichuan gradually regained his calm, including Dongchuan, all major military and political affairs were carried out in an orderly manner, and Li Congjing also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, in any case, in the case of the joint efforts of the garrisons and military intelligence offices in various places, it was not so easy for the opponent to make another difficulty.
After the war and the murder of twenty-one officials, Xichuan calmed down again.
The only thing that made Li Congjing feel strange when he thought about it was that after Jianzi saw Zhang Jinliang, he never asked Li Congjing for anything, as if the visit that day had never happened, just when Li Congjing thought that Jianzi was just a whim who wanted to see the person of his hometown, and the matter was about to turn the page, Jianzi finally found it again.
"Can you put a gold scale?"
When they met, the sword threw over with a hard sentence, which caught Li Congjing off guard.
"Zhang Jinliang is a repeat offender, how can there be any reason to let it go?"
Li Congjing rejected Jianzi's request.
"But you have promised him in advance that as long as he explains what he knows, you will not hold him accountable!"
Kenko seemed annoyed.
"It's just an interrogation."
Li Congjing waved his hand, "Besides, he didn't explain anything useful." ”
Zhang Jinliang said that day that he stayed in Chengdu because he still had the task of arson, but now that these criminals have almost been arrested, Li Congjing naturally does not worry about their arson plan.
Jianzi stared at Li Congjing fiercely, as if he wanted to eat him, and half-loudly, Jianzi gritted his teeth and said, "How can you let him go?" ”
Li Congjing laughed twice, this was the reason why he rejected Jianzi's request, "Sue me about the origin of you and Zhang Jinliang." ”
Jianzi's face turned white, "This has nothing to do with you. ”
"Maybe not before, but now there is."
Li Congjing always felt that there was a lot of article in it, and maybe there was also the key to opening the door of Hexi.
Jianzi was about to say something, Mo Li suddenly rushed over, and before he could speak, the fifth girl also hurried over.
"Big handsome, there is a thief army knocking on the Yin Ping Dao!"
Mo Li's expression was solemn.
"Dashuai, the Luzhou Salt Prison is in charge of the Yabao, and his subordinate Yaqian Yu Hou was intercepted and killed when transporting salt a few days ago, and more than 20 people including Yaqian Yu Hou and his children were killed, and thousands of catties of salt were intercepted!"
The fifth look was solemn.
