Li Guanqi looked at Tang Mao, who looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and said with a sneer, "You are quite backbone." Good. In that case, I will fulfill you. He Ziming! ”

He Ziming took a step forward when he heard the sound, and with a sound of brushing the ground, the Tenglong Sword was already unsheathed.

But before He Ziming's sword could be cut down, Tang Mao had already screamed, and crawled out desperately, leaving a trail of wet water on the ground he crawled on, which turned out to be scared to pee......

In this situation, He Ziming, who had always been calm, was stunned, holding the dragon sword in his hand, and he didn't know what to do, like a sculpture.

Li Guanqi was almost angry, and secretly scolded in his heart, "Your sister, bad luck", turned around and walked in front of Tang Mao, and shouted: "Don't climb." If you want to survive, tell me everything you know. ”

"The slave wants to live, the slave and the maid say everything, and they dare not hide anything." Tang Mao kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Li Guanqi raised his head and pinched his nose, trying not to smell the smell of urine rushing to his nose, and called to He Ziming: "You come here, as long as he has a lie, you will immediately kill him." ”

"Slaves don't dare to lie." Tang Mao looked up at Li Guanqi and said, "I don't know what the emperor wants to know?" ”

"Who's your master outside?" Li Guanqi asked.

"......," Tang Mao groaned.

"He Ziming!" Li Guanqi's face turned cold and shouted.

"It's Zu Xiang, ah no, it's Zu Donglai!" Without waiting for He Ziming to react, Tang Mao had already replied first.

"Do you think I don't know that you are being the eyes and ears of Zu Donglai?" Li Guanqi sneered and said, "I'm just here to see if you can lie!" ”

"Yes, yes! Slaves and maids will never dare to lie! "Tang Mao has completely lost his temper.

Li Guanqi paused slightly, and then asked, "How long have you been collecting information for him?" ”

Tang Mao breathed sharply and said, "Since Zu Donglai sat in the phase, there have been twenty years. ”

"Twenty-one years." Li Guanqi repeated, and then asked, "How many people have you betrayed over the years?" ”

"Betrayal? The slave and maid have not betrayed anyone! A bead of sweat on Tang Mao's forehead shone brightly, and a few strands of sweat-soaked hair stuck to the skin that had begun to slack and wrinkle, looking unbearable.

"Maybe I should put it another way, how many people have you helped Zu Donglai suppress over the years?" Li Guanqi sighed and said.

"This, this, the slave maid has not counted." Tang Mao lowered his head and said, but then raised his head and said, "The slave maid is also for the sake of the Great Qianchao Jiangshan Society." The first emperor never asked about political affairs, he just drank and indulged in lust all day long, and Zu Donglai first ascended to the throne, and there were many constraints in the court, if he didn't get rid of those people, it would be difficult to change the peace of the Great Qian Dynasty. ”

"Getting rid of me is also for the peace of the Great Qian Dynasty?" Li Guanqi asked with a dark face.

"The slave didn't expect them to assassinate." Tang Mao lowered his head and said, "The ancestor promised the slave and maid that he would not hurt the emperor's life. I would have known that I would have notified Zu Xiang directly, instead of telling Fan Jian that this stupid person. ”

Li Guanqi's heart couldn't help but tighten, here and now, Tang Mao inadvertently still has his heart towards Zu Donglai, and even still maintains an honorific title for Zu Donglai, it seems that Zu Donglai does have a set of methods to win people's hearts, and it can make people follow so desperately.

After thinking for a while, Li Guanqi asked again: "In addition to Fan Jian, who else is with you?" Like Zu Tianyi, Liu Ji and the like, there is no need to say it anymore. ”

"The slave maid knows that Cao Yuanshan, the servant of the ministry, and Yin Cheng of Yingtianfu are insufficient......" Tang Mao knew that he could no longer hide it at this time, so he had to tell what he knew.

The more Li Guanqi listened, the more frightened he became, he originally knew that most of the courtiers in the court had a more or less relationship with Zu Donglai, but he didn't expect that so many ministers who held important positions were Zu Donglai's cronies, and almost all the major yamen in the capital had infiltrated.

Suppressing the churning in his heart, Li Guanqi said calmly: "Which of the guards are your people?" Seeing Tang Mao's slight hesitation, Li Guanqi continued, "If you don't say it, I can ask Fan Jian." ”

"The slave said, the slave said......" Tang Mao was afraid of accidentally making Li Guanqi angry again, so he hurriedly said a large number of names, and finally said, "The slave and maid know this, and if there is anything else, you have to ask Fan Jian." ”

Li Guanqi turned back to He Ziming and asked, "Have you written it down?" ”

"Noted down. The minister will do it when he turns around. He Ziming bowed and said.

"What are you doing?" Li Guanqi said with a smile, "I asked you to write it down, but I didn't let you do anything." ”

He Ziming said suspiciously: "Now that you know who Zu Dong came over, why don't you take the opportunity to take it?" ”

"Don't you know what it means to scare a snake?" Li Guanqi rubbed his eyebrows, and then said, "These people have always been there, and there has been no movement, now that I know their identity, be careful, and don't worry that they can go to the sky." If it is arrested on a large scale, it will be counterproductive. ”

He Ziming thought about it for a while, and felt that what Li Guanqi said was indeed reasonable, so he also nodded and said: "What the emperor said is very true, and the minister will convey the information to the internal guards when he turns around, be careful!" ”

Li Guanqi looked back at Tang Mao again, and saw that he had been wet with a large amount of urine, and felt sick for a while, so he said, "Take him down and detain him secretly." Don't let him die! ”

"Yes!" He Ziming bowed and agreed.

"Thank you, Emperor! Thank you, Your Majesty! Tang Mao also kept kowtowing on the ground to thank him.

When He Ziming was about to walk out of the door with Tang Mao, Li Guanqi suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously: "Yunjing, what is the name of the person who paid two thousand taels of silver for us last time in Meixianglou?" ”

He Ziming thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be Cao Yuanshan, the servant of the ministry!" ”

"Cao Yuanshan!" A smile appeared on the corner of Li Guanqi's mouth......

After Cao Yuanshan received He Ziming's order to go to the Imperial Garden to see him, his mood could not calm down all the way, because he didn't know what Li Guanqi knew and what he saw him for. Although he is known as Sai Zhuge , he is not a real Zhuge after all, not to mention that even Zhuge Liang cannot be a prophet. So Cao Yuanshan's head hurt, and he didn't come up with a reason, so he had to tell himself in the end, if he comes, he will be safe, and one step at a time.

As the little eunuch arrived at the door of Tiren Pavilion, Cao Yuanshan just wanted to sign up and invite in, when Li Guanqi's voice came from inside, "Is Cao Yuanshan here?" Come right in! ”

Cao Yuanshan hurriedly agreed, re-arranged his clothes, and then lifted his robe, crossed the high threshold, and walked into the Tiren Pavilion, where he saw Li Guanqi dressed in regular clothes, holding a brush, standing in front of the desk, and writing something with a pen. Cao Yuanshan hurriedly lifted the sleeves of his robe, knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "Cao Yuanshan, the servant of the Ministry of Ministers, is ordered to see the emperor and knock on the emperor!" ”
