Thinking about this, Duhol suddenly felt very disgusted, it felt like eating a fly, it was too depressing, and it was too speechless. If the other party sees through the strategy, it is easy to say, it can be proved that his skills are inferior to others, and he has not lost unjustly. But the other party didn't see through their own strategy at all, and they had no defense at all in the face of their own layout.

I remembered the wonderful plan that I had worked so hard to think about, meditated, and spent nearly a month, and almost turned my hair white. But because the leader had something to do temporarily, he left the other courtyard and escaped a catastrophe. It's like winning three million, but the lottery ticket fell into the pit and let the water wash away. It's obviously the things that you get your hands on, but they all fall apart because of an accident. This ending is really a bit unacceptable.

"Then you can find out where they're hiding?" But at this moment, Du He didn't have time to continue to sigh, his expression became serious, this Li Fucheng's existence is definitely a sharp blade hidden in the shadows, and it can bring great harm to the Tang Dynasty anytime and anywhere.

In particular, the Tang Dynasty is known for its pioneering and enterprising spirits, and there will be a lot of wars in the future, in case when the Tang Dynasty army is attacking outside, Li Fucheng comes behind the scenes, inciting the people to rebel, making the Tang Dynasty difficult to take care of, this harm is absolutely huge. In any case, this force hidden deep in the shadows must be cut off, and there can be no future troubles.

Li Shimin also slapped the case in front of him, and said indignantly: "Those traitors have very hard mouths. After three months of torture, all of them were beaten to death, but only one person could not bear the confession, and his status was not high, and he did not know much. Especially for the nest, I don't know anything. Li Fucheng's escape made me like a sharp edge on my back, and I must get rid of it! I asked you to come because I wanted to ask what was worth caring about when capturing them? Especially the details that can distinguish the origin of their identities, and see what else is missing? ”

Du He lowered his head and thought about it, the situation in the courtyard was like a movie, one by one in his mind, starting from tracking Wei Fengyun, to surround the nest, and then launch an attack, occupy the nest, and finally search the nest, not letting go of a bit: the scene in his mind appeared a building sitting north to south, the building was disorganized, and any place where people could hide made Fang Yiai savagely turn upside down, the wardrobe was smashed, turned to the ground, even the bed was broken in two, and all kinds of clothes and bedding were scattered all over the place.

Clothes?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Du He's mind, and he suddenly lit up, and whispered: "South! ”

"How?" It's been so long, and Li Shimin doesn't expect to get anything from Du He, just because the stakes are so high, so he asks more, and now he is even more happy to hear that he has really discovered.

"The son-in-law is not sure about this matter, but he has this suspicion!" Du He straightened his thoughts and said: "I still remember that in order not to leave any fish that slipped through the net, my son-in-law repeatedly inspected and searched their nest many times. There is an atmospheric building on the north side of the annex, which is the most eye-catching, and the furnishings inside are also the most luxurious! ”

"This should be Li Fucheng's room!" Li Shimin interjected!

The ancients respected the south and the north, with the east as the first and the west as the second. Therefore, the residence of the queen and the concubines is divided into the East Palace and the West Palace, and the East Palace is the main one, and the West Palace is the secondary; The Taimiao, which enshrines the ancestral tablets, will also be built on the east side of the palace.

Most of the main houses are built in the north, that is, it is often said that the main house is built to the south and the main house is built to the south, and the person who can live in the main house is usually the owner or leader.

Du He continued: "The son-in-law also thinks so, so he is especially careful about the inspection there. On the ground, the son-in-law found a few pieces of change of clothes made of fine silk, and he didn't care about it at the time, but now he thinks about it a little strangely, the material of the cloth is a rare eight silk. ”

Eight silk is a kind of silk fabric in the Tang Dynasty, most of the silk in the Tang Dynasty is produced in two places, namely Jiangnan and Bashu, and there is a saying of "Shu mulberry ten thousand acres, Wu silkworm ten thousand machines", to describe the development of the sericulture textile industry in these two places. However, because of different regions and different technologies, the silk produced in the two places is fundamentally different.

Shu is rich in silk cloth such as Shu brocade, Luo Aya, brocade silk, Jiaoshuo, Mimu cloth, etc., while Jiangnan is rich in silk cloth, silk cotton, eight silk, crimson silk, yarn, woven silk and other silk cloths.

Among these fabrics abundant in the south of the Yangtze River, eight silk is a relatively rare silk fabric, it is a pure silk fabric, the fabric style is elegant, the texture is tight, strong, the yarn hole is ventilated, cool, comfortable to wear, cool.

This kind of clothing is very rare, and the cost is very expensive, so there are not many on the market, and because of the geographical inconvenience, the silk fabric industry in Chang'an is almost all dominated by Bashu, and the silk in the south of the Yangtze River is prevalent in the Central Plains, and only a few can be introduced into Guanzhong. Eight silk is extremely expensive, and can not keep out the cold, in Guanzhong is not applicable. Therefore, it is not popular in Guanzhong.

The climate in the south is mild, but it is a good place to wear this kind of eight silk.

Li Fucheng's wardrobe has silk fabrics such as eight silks, which are very likely to come from the south.

Li Shimin listened to this reason, where did he not understand, the original reason? He also received eight silk from the Tugong in the south, and knew that it was comfortable to wear in summer, but although the summer of the Guanzhong generation was hot, it was cold in spring, autumn and winter, and it was not suitable for wearing clothes made of eight silk.

also nodded, Du He's analysis is reasonable, but this is reasonable, and it can't be the key, as long as you have the heart to buy it, these eight silks can still be bought.

"That's just one of the reasons!" Li Shimin believes that since Du He said the south, there will definitely be no more evidence than this little bit of evidence.

Du He nodded with a smile: "The younger son-in-law thinks that there may be another reason in the south, because my father-in-law does not attach importance to the south, and he is a little laissez-faire in the governance of the south bank of the Yangtze River!" This rebellion, you must choose a place where I am not very popular with the people, only in this way can we respond to all the calls. If they choose Guanzhong as the location of the uprising, I believe that our army has not yet assembled, and those people will immediately let those people who have their hearts on our Tang Dynasty be extinguished. Therefore, the son-in-law thinks that this south is the place they are most likely to occupy. ”

Since ancient times, the development of China's economy has a certain law, since the Han Dynasty has been the development of the north, the Central Plains as the top priority, so there has always been a saying that the North Central Plains, the world. Almost all of Huang Yanjing fought from the north to the south.

The Tang Dynasty was no exception, and the center of gravity was all in the north of Guanzhong and the development of the Silk Road, and only Yangzhou and Jingzhou were valued in the south. Yangzhou here is not Yangzhou occupied by Sun Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, but refers to Guangling, north of the Yangtze River. The basin south of the Yangtze River is difficult for the Tang Dynasty to take into account.

After all, because of Yang Guang's defeat, the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty was too harmful. China, which originally had a population of 8.9 million households, has plummeted to more than 2 million households because of this turmoil, a full decrease of 6 or 7 million households.

In the face of these only more than 2 million households, Li Tang's development focus is naturally placed on the most favorable Central Plains of Guanzhong, rather than the remote south.

Therefore, in the early Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's control over the south was very weak.

Du He smiled "hehe" and said: "In this kind of matter, the practice of the son-in-law has always been to make bold assumptions, carefully verify, reasonable deduction, and rational decision-making, all of which are preliminary assumptions, and it is not easy for the son-in-law to assert whether it is true or false." ”

"Make bold assumptions, carefully verify, make reasonable deductions, and make rational decisions!" Li Shimin repeated this sentence several times, with an approving smile on his face, and nodded: "The words of the virtuous son-in-law are deeply heartfelt, although what you said is unfounded, but it sounds reasonable, not impossible!" ”

"That's right!" Du He said suddenly: "Didn't my father-in-law say that those people didn't confess?" It is better to use torture to extract confessions in another way, and torture is not the only method of interrogation, and mental interrogation is ten times more effective than torture to extract confessions. ”

"What is a spiritual interrogation?" Li Shimin laughed unexpectedly, accustomed to nature, as long as Du He has a novel statement, it will definitely bring him unexpected results. Hearing this new word come to Du He's mouth, a smile appeared on his face.

"It's simple! It's just taking turns to keep asking and not letting them sleep. One or two are acceptable, but after a long time, it will drag on for ten days and a half months. They promise that they can't bear it, and their minds are confused, so that they are confused, and this is the time when their will is at its weakest, and at this time, it will be a miracle to use the south to induce. ”

Li Shimin listened to this interrogation method, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and said with a wry smile: "I can't imagine that your kid's methods are still vicious enough." Then he also said: "I think it can be done!" ”

Li Shimin did not let continue to talk about this matter, and completely established the government hall with him, and joined them with Changle.

They spent this day in the Lizheng Palace.

Before leaving, Li Shimin secretly instructed Du He to give birth to a fat doll as soon as possible.

Changle also asked Empress Changsun to call over, and whispered something on the side, but Changle blushed, as if he had wiped rouge on his face.

On the way home, Du He put aside the matter of Li Jiancheng's remnants. He knew that once Li Shimin asked for some useful information, with his performance this time, this mission, he couldn't escape if he wanted to.

Instead of thinking about this and that, it is better to leave things behind and spend time with your family.

So, he pulled Changle and laughed: "What did my mother-in-law tell you before." ”

Changle's originally restored normal face resurfaced Hongxia, stumbling, speechless, and held back for a long time before he said: "Nothing!" ”

Du He leaned into her ear with a playful face and said: "My father-in-law secretly told me before, let me work harder, and try to give him a grandson as soon as possible, he is so funny!" ”

Looking at Changle's embarrassed and helpless appearance, Du He laughed, full of happiness and satisfaction, but he didn't know how long this kind of life could last.
