readx; There was no point in resisting, the people in the room knelt down one after another, tied their hands, the soldiers rushed up and tied them up, Zhang Tongru was tied up like a zongzi, his face was like ashes, his eyes were full of despair, Hu Peiyun sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers sealed their mouths, put them into the sacks prepared in advance, and carried them out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, a soldier stepped forward and whispered a few words to Hu Peiyun, Hu Peiyun was stunned, and immediately turned around and went out, he walked quickly to the top floor, only to see that next to a small house in the most corner, surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers, the two soldiers took out a middle-aged man who should be white and fat, it was the big shopkeeper Gu of Qiancuilou who asked, he was covered in black and blue, and he was obviously beaten by the soldiers.

"It turned out to be the Gu shopkeeper, the Gu shopkeeper doesn't take care of the business, what are you doing hiding here?"

Hu Peiyun taunted him a few words, Gu Wendao was full of resentment, didn't say a word, turned his head, the internal guard came too fast, and he was arrested before he could burn it.

An officer stepped forward to report: "Report to General Hu, we found him hiding in this room and burning papers, so we rushed in and subdued him." ”

"What did he burn?"

"He only had time to burn one list, the one we found from Xu Yingjie's mansion, and the rest of the documents were seized by us."

Hu Peiyun shook his head at the big shopkeeper with a smile, and walked into the small room, the place in the small room was full of messy papers, there was a stove in the corner, the fire in the stove had been extinguished by the soldiers with water, there was only a small roll of cigarette ash in the stove, apparently only a piece of paper was burned, and the edge of the stove was wet with a list of most of the burned books, Hu Peiyun picked it up and looked at it, it was the list found in Xu Yingjie's house, and the information was not as comprehensive as the one in Xu Yingjie's house, only names and no addresses, for them, It's probably the most important piece of information.

Hu Peiyun put down the list, and his eyes fell on a sandalwood box next to the stove, the box had been opened, and the lid was obliquely on the body.

Generally speaking, sandalwood boxes can be mothproof, and are often used to hold important documents, and this sandalwood box is placed next to the stove, obviously Gu Wenwen is in a hurry to burn the contents of the box, maybe the list is taken out of this sandalwood box.

The sandalwood box was quite large, one foot wide, three feet long, and seven inches thick, and a soldier stepped forward to carefully hold the box and presented it to Hu Yunpei, who lifted the lid and saw a thick stack of letters and two volumes of maps inside.

Hu Yunpei picked up the letters, about 60 letters, tied them with red thread, he flipped them over casually, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

'The military department staff Langzhong Song Qiancheng Yan Wang An Dashuai......

'Dali Shaoqing Zhao Yuan respects His Royal Highness King Yan.....

．．．．．．

These letters turned out to be letters from court officials colluding with An Lushan, and there were also handwritten letters from An Lushan to various officials, Hu Yunpei snorted heavily, he opened another volume of maps, and was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes shot with anger, this map turned out to be a detailed map of Taiyuan Terracotta City Defense.

The matter was very serious, and Hu Yunpei immediately ordered: "Comprehensively search Qiancui Building, and take all these documents away for me." ”

He personally took the sandalwood box and hurried downstairs, and then galloped towards Li Qing'an's marshal.

．．．．．．．．．．．．

Two hours later, a stormy arrest finally came to an end, An Lushan's spies in Chang'an were arrested one by one, his intelligence agency was completely destroyed, Chang'an's city gate was reopened, the streets and alleys gradually restored order, all kinds of discussions in Chang'an City spread, the Generalissimo's Office immediately issued a ban on pigeons, in Gyeonggi Province, Longyou Province, Guannai Province, Dugi Province, Henan Province and Hedong Province, etc., it is strictly forbidden to breed pigeons and falcons, and all violators will be exiled to Lingnan with their families suspected of collaborating with the enemy. and confiscate family property, and at the same time encourage the private to report, and those who report and verify will be rewarded with 100 yuan money.

But soon, this ban on pigeons was expanded, not only the people banned the raising of eagle pigeons, but also all other official offices that were not military offices, including county and state offices, were also prohibited from raising eagle pigeons.

On the night of the day when An Lushan's spies were arrested in the whole city, an impeachment list was sent to Yushitai, which was from Qiancuilou to find out their correspondence with An Lushan, the evidence was conclusive, including Song Qian, Langzhong of the Ministry of War, Zhao Yuanwei, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, including 34 middle and low-level officials, the political hall held a meeting overnight and made a decision, immediately dismiss these 34 people from their official positions, and arrest them, and hand them over to the Criminal Department, Yushitai, and Dali Temple for the trial of the three divisions, and track down the remnants of the net.

The gate of Chang'an City was closed again, and a group of internal guard soldiers ran in the dark night, 'Boom! Cha! Cha! The footsteps were neat and powerful, the soldiers were heavily armed and murderous, and many people secretly opened a window to peek out, and the family was quietly talking.

"San Lang's father, who are you arresting?"

"Shhhh Be quiet, don't you see? Song Langzhong's mansion on the opposite side has been surrounded, and it is estimated that the officials are being cleaned up. ”

"What then?"

"Ahem! It's about our little people, let's just sleep and have a baby, go, and sleep. ”

．．．．．．．

Around Song Qian's mansion in Changxingfang, more than 300 internal guard soldiers surrounded the mansion, hunting in the firelight, and several soldiers rushed up and knocked on the door, 'Bang! Bang! 'The voice was violent.

"Who!"

The door creaked open, and a man who looked like a butler poked his head out, and when he saw a torch outside and hundreds of soldiers standing outside the door, he trembled in fright and stammered, "You guys..... What to do? ”

An official of the Criminal Department stepped forward and said, "Please come out and speak to Song Langzhong!" ”

Song Qian, a native of Jiangning County, Yangzhou, is a Jinshi of Tianbao for five years, and is a protégé of the original Zhang Yun, who was promoted by him, and the military department waiter Lang Jiwen was demoted without harming him, but because of Jiwen's resignation, he was promoted to a level from the staff of the Ministry of War, and he had a lot of military secrets in his hands, such as military maps of various strategic areas, etc., because of this, he was the target of An Lushan's key wooing, and An Lushan successfully won him over with a heavy bribe of 20,000 yuan through Jiwen's relationship.

His maps were generally given to Qiancuilou, who would transfer them to An Lushan, and according to the degree of importance, he would be paid 3,000 to 5,000 guan for each map.

From the afternoon of the city's closed-door search, Song Qian's consciousness was not good, he immediately found out the twenty deposit tickets stored in Chang'an Wang Bao Ji Cabinet Workshop, a total of 50,000 yuan, he immediately ordered his eldest son Song Ju to take these deposit tickets to Wang Bao Ji Cabinet to remit money, and transfer the money to Yangzhou Wang Bao Ji Cabinet Workshop.

But his son brought back a bad news, starting from the city's closure and search, all the major cabinets in Chang'an City were closed at the same time, and they received an urgent order from the internal guards, all cabinets were not allowed to do any more business.

No cabinet shop dares to disobey the order of the internal guard, once it is labeled as a collaborator, the consequences will be unimaginable, so no matter Song Qian's eldest son wears out the skin of his mouth, and even threatens to withdraw all the money and deposit it to Wang Baoji's competitor's house, but Wang Yuanbao, the big proprietor of Wang Baoji's cabinet, just refuses to nod his head, these big cabinets have a high political consciousness, and they will never cut off their money at this sensitive time.

Song Qian's son returned disappointed, which made Song Qian like an ant on a hot pot, just when the blockade of the city gate was just lifted, Song Qian immediately ordered his henchman to take his most beloved concubine and the youngest son born to the concubine to secretly flee Chang'an City, if the Song family is not protected, he can still have a pulse of fireworks to stay in the world.

"Master, it's not good!"

The second butler came running like a gust of wind, and shouted in horror at the door: "There are countless troops outside that surround our mansion. ”

'Smack! The teacup fell from his hand and shattered, at this moment Song Qian's heart fell into the abyss, although he knew that this moment would come sooner or later, but when it really came, his heart was like dead, he stared blankly at the wall, and endless despair welled up in his eyes.

After a while, Song Qian sighed low and said, "Please wait for a while and let me change my clothes." ”

He walked to the table and wrote a short message to Li Qing'an: "The minister's desire for profit is consumed, and he commits a great crime by mistake, the crime deserves death, the family is good and cheap, and he can be disposed of by His Royal Highness, and the stolen money is 53,400 yuan, and the minister will donate all of it to the soldiers of the three armies, and redeem the sins behind the minister, and the minister will sell thirteen maps, as follows: Taiyuan Soldiers and Horses City Defense Map; Xiangzhou Terracotta City Defense Map ......"

After writing the text message, he took off his official uniform, folded it neatly, and put the 50,000 yuan deposit ticket and the text message on the bookcase together, he breathed a long sigh of relief, at this time there was a soldier's shout and his family's crying in the distance, Song Qian smiled miserably, his eyes fell on the beam of the roof.....

'Bang! With a bang, the door was kicked open, and a large group of internal security soldiers broke in, only to see the cold wind swishing in the room, the candlelight was about to be extinguished, and a white figure swayed in the air.

．．．．．．．．

The next day is the end of the day, the imperial court offices have stopped working, the officials are resting at home, only a very small number of key departments send people to be on duty in the official office, the whole Daming Palace and the imperial city are silent, early in the morning, a carriage drove out of the Suzaku Gate, to Xingdaofang galloping.

In the carriage sat the right minister Pei Zunqing, last night he did not return to the house, in the Daming Palace in the province of the book of the dynasty stayed up all night, last night, he ordered the imperial history of the platform to interrogate several important officials overnight, has obtained a little preliminary confession, but the most regrettable thing for him is that Song Qian, the staff of the Ministry of War, committed suicide in fear of crime, Song Qian is Zhang Yun's proud protégé, Song Qian collaborated with the enemy, Zhang Yun could not escape the blame, and Zhang Yun's brother Zhang Yan, was originally ambiguous with An Lushan.

It's a pity that Song Qian committed suicide, otherwise this would be the best chance to bring down Zhang Yun, despite this, Pei Zunqing still had a glimmer of hope, after all, Song Qian was pulled by Zhang Yun, according to the Tang Dynasty's joint sitting system, the protégé committed a crime, which would affect the master, as long as Li Qingan was willing to make a fuss about it, it was not impossible to bring down Zhang Yun.

The carriage drove into Xingdaofang and slowly stopped in front of King Zhao's mansion, Pei Zunqing dismounted and said to the soldiers guarding the gate of the mansion: "Please report to His Royal Highness King Zhao for me, saying that the right minister Pei Zunqing has an urgent matter to see." ”

"Pei Xiangguo, please wait, let's go and report."

The soldier entered the house, and at this time, Pei Zunqing suddenly saw a carriage parked at the door, and couldn't help but be stunned, so he asked the soldier next to him in a low voice: "Excuse me, who is this meeting His Royal Highness King Zhao?" ”

"This is the carriage of Yan Shilang of the Criminal Department."

'Yan Zhenqing? ’

Pei Zunqing was stunned, it would be okay if someone else came to see Li Qing'an, and Yan Zhenqing was the new waiter of the Criminal Department, last night the Political Affairs Hall issued an order, there will be a criminal department to lead, Yushitai and Dali Temple cooperated, and the three or so officials who collaborated with the enemy were interrogated, Yan Zhenqing was the chief judge, what was he doing here?

Pei Zunqing felt extremely uncomfortable, he was the right minister, Yan Zhenqing should come to report to him, but he had nothing to say, Li Qing'an was not the emperor, Yan Zhenqing came to Li Qing'an may not be on official business, today is the court holiday, and the court officials visit each other, this is someone else's freedom.

At this moment, one of Li Qing'an's personal soldiers came out and said, "Pei Xiangguo, Your Highness invites you in!" ”

Of course, Pei Yaoqing didn't expect Li Qingan to go out to greet him, he tidied up his clothes and followed his soldiers into the house.

At this time, Li Qingan was talking to Yan Zhenqing in the outer study, in fact, it was not that Yan Zhenqing crossed Pei Zunqing, but that Li Qingan ordered someone to invite him early this morning, and Li Qingan asked him to write a few words for himself, which was regarded as asking for a treasure.

Of course, Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is famous through the ages, and Li Qing'an has also heard of his name for a long time. Gift General Li to return to the east", this poem has been circulated in Anxi, and it was just sent to Chang'an yesterday.

In the outer study, Yan Zhenqing splashed ink like flying, all in one go:

The horse newly crossed the white jade saddle, and the moonlight was cold on the battlefield.

The sound of the iron drum at the head of the city is still shaking, and the blood of the golden knife in the box has not dried up.

This poem is sonorous and powerful, making people's blood boil, Yan Zhenqing also wrote very heartily, he finished writing the last stroke, and muttered twice, and couldn't help but praise: "It is worthy of Wang Changling, it is really a good poem!" ”

Li Qingan also nodded and said with a smile: "The poem is good, the words are good, it can be described as a double masterpiece, I want to order someone to frame this character and hang it in my inner study." ”

When he saw that Yan Zhenqing had finished writing, he smiled and said, "Come on!" Yan Yuanjun, please sit down and take a sip of tea. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Yan Zhenqing sat down, Li Qingan personally brought the teacup to him, Yan Zhenqing hurriedly thanked, Li Qingan took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said with a smile: "Today is a ten-day holiday, but I invited Yan Yuanjun to write for me, delaying the rest of the envoy, I'm really sorry." ”

Yan Zhenqing shook his head and said: "Writing a few words to His Highness is also the glory of Wechen, in fact, Wechen also wants to come to His Highness today." ”

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Li Qingan said with a smile.

Yan Zhenqing hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "Weichen thinks that the more than thirty officials suspected of collaborating with the enemy should not be interrogated by the third division. ”

He saw that Li Qing'an didn't say anything, so he mustered up the courage and said: "People are not sages, who can do nothing, An Lushan was also a Tang minister in the past, the official residence of Fan Yang Festival envoy, won the holy favor, the minister knows, in fact, many Hebei officials have personal relations with him, but it is only a personal exchange between Tang officials, that is, there are many high-ranking officials in the imperial court who have also had a close relationship with him, Ji Wen, Zhang Yun, Yang Guozhong in the past, Li Linfu, etc., but what does this mean, can it prove that they colluded with An Lushan to rebel? Everyone is a minister in the same hall, but because of each other's similar interests and form a certain relationship, just like the former Xiangguo Party and the East Palace Party, this time more than 30 officials are guilty, but Pei Xiangguo is trying his best to conduct a trio-trilogy, Weichen is worried that it will trigger a court purge, everyone is in danger, and the innocent are harmed, when the Hebei War is coming, this is by no means a wise move, please think twice. ”

Li Qingan nodded, he was just about to speak, when someone outside the door announced: "Pei Xiangguo has arrived!" ”

Li Qingan didn't want to say more, so he smiled and said: "I know this matter in my heart, Yan Shilang, please rest assured." ”

He got up and said, "Please Pei Xiangguo come in!" ”

After a while, Pei Zunqing walked in quickly, bowed to Li Qing'an, and said, "Weichen see His Royal Highness King Zhao!" ”

Li Qingan smiled and said: "Pei Xiangguo is only eight buckets high, come and take a look at the ink treasure I just got, let me declare first, this is my baby, don't give it to Pei Xiangguo." ”

In fact, as soon as Pei Zunqing entered the door, he saw a word on the table, of course he knew that Yan Zhenqing was famous for his calligraphy, and he chased Zhang Xu back then, but it was not easy for ordinary people to ask Yan Zhenqing for a word, he was relieved, it turned out that Yan Zhenqing was here to write for Li Qingan, not to report last night's incident, he couldn't help but secretly despise Yan Zhenqing in his heart, he wanted to ask him for a word a few days ago, but he retreated in every way, and now he came to write for Li Qingan, what a villain who tends to be inflammatory.

Yan Zhenqing also stepped forward to salute him, but he responded lightly, stepped forward to look at the character, although he despised Yan Zhenqing in his heart, but he couldn't help but praise his words: "It's really good calligraphy, absolutely!" ”

He read the poem again and said with a smile: "This is Li Taibai's poem!" ”

"Wrong, this is Wang Changling's poem."

"Not really!"

Pei Zunqing shook his head and said: "It's not like Mr. Yuju's majestic atmosphere, but it has a bit of Li Taibai's elegance." ”

"It's indeed Wang Changling's, now that Li Taibai is under King Wu's account, how can he write poems to me?"

"Hmmm! This is also true, the sound of iron drums at the head of the city is still shaking, and the blood of the golden knife in the box has not dried, good poems and good words! ”

He pretended to rob it, looked at Li Qingan obliquely and smiled: "Then I'll snatch it?" ”

"Pei Xiangguo likes it, just take it!" Li Qingan waved his hand very generously.

Pei Zunqing smiled, "Your Highness is generous, but how dare I take it, the poem is very clear, give the general to the east, what is it for me to take it?" ”

He and Li Qingan glanced at each other and laughed together, and then Yan Zhenqing stepped forward and saluted: "Since Your Highness has something, Weichen will retire!" ”

"Good! It's hard work. ”

Li Qing'an ordered someone to send Yan Zhenqing away, walked back and sat down with Pei Zunqing and said, "Pei Xiangguo came to me, is there anything wrong?" ”

"That's the case, I want to talk to His Highness about Song Qian, about Zhang Shangshu......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Qingan waved his hand and said resolutely: "Song Qian is dead, his family can be exiled to Anxi, the evidence of the other thirty or so people is conclusive, there is no need for a retrial, they are all sentenced to exile, and they will go to Anxi with their families, this matter is over, and the trial of the senior division will be canceled!" ”
