Chapter 45: The Danger of Tang Xiang

Li Chongshou was taken aback, he couldn't have imagined that Liu Wenjing actually leaked the bottom line of the saint to the Sui Dynasty, he knew that in that negotiation, the two sides had a stalemate for a long time over the matter of Dunhuang, and finally the Tang Dynasty gave in.....

Li Chongshou was originally a person who did intelligence, and he believed in conspiracy very much, if it was him, he would do everything possible to know the other party's bottom line, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and his heart began to mess up.

He originally wanted to move Xiao Jin today and let him serve the Tang Dynasty instead, but this unexpected news made him unable to take care of the original plan, he fidgeted, drank two more glasses of wine and got up to leave.

"Since Brother Xiao is in good health, then the little brother will say goodbye and come to visit Brother Xiao another day!"

Xiao Jin was still worried, and he sighed, "Okay! I won't send Brother Li away, I hope Brother Li will keep it secret for me. ”

"Don't worry! I'm going to keep my mouth shut. ”

Li Chongshou bowed his hand and left, he walked out of the Xiao Mansion quickly, walked out of the alley, quickly got into the carriage, and ordered in a hurry: "Go to Baique Villa!" ”

Baique Villa is Tang Feng's eagle release point outside Taiyuan City, Li Chongshou can't wait to go back to write information, he personally rushed to the villa to release eagles.

The carriage started and galloped out of the western city......

Like Tang Feng, Li Jiancheng's Outer Supervision Hall also has a store in Taiyuan for covering identity, but they are not atmospheric enough and open a grocery store to cover up, and the grocery store is located in the south of the city, called 'Han Ji Grocery Store'.

The grocery store manager is called Han Chang. He was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, of medium stature and fat physique, and was the chief of the Tang Dynasty Foreign Supervision Hall in Taiyuan.

As early as the ninth year of Daye, Han Chang was the shopkeeper of a small grocery store in Wuyuan City, Fengzhou, and that small grocery store was also an intelligence point set up by Li Yuan in Fengzhou, but it was also in the ninth year of Daye. Han Chang was secretly arrested by the Internal Guards.

Almost at the same moment when Li Chongshou left Taiyuan City, a man also came to the front of Han Ji's grocery store, and the obese Han shopkeeper was tally in the grocery store. Suddenly, when he saw the man outside the store, his face immediately became nervous, "Does the customer need anything?" He greeted him with a smile on his face.

"I want some goods. The amount needs to be large. The man said coldly.

"Then please come with me to the warehouse to talk." Shopkeeper Han hurriedly ushered the man into the warehouse behind the grocery store.

Shopkeeper Han carefully searched around the warehouse to make sure that there were no other guys, then closed the door and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything General Wei looking for me?" ”

This Han Chang was also transferred from Luoyang to Taiyuan two months ago, because the Outer Supervision Hall was in charge of civil affairs, so he had no role, Wei Ben didn't pay much attention to him, but now he needs his help.

The man handed him a letter from Wei Ben, "It's all on the letter, read it yourself!" ”

He turned and walked out. Han Chang opened the letter and read it, but he was a little stunned, would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince believe his words? ……

In the early hours of the morning, before dawn, a group of 500 soldiers rushed into Yiyangfang. Surrounded by the mansion of Liu Wenqi, Liu Wenqi is the younger brother of Liu Wenjing, and the official worships the free cavalry, at this time he has just finished cleaning up, ready to go to court, and is sitting in the guest hall slowly drinking a cup of hot tea.

"Sir!"

The porter rushed to him with a frightened face. "Master, something happened!"

"What's wrong?" Liu Wenqi was extremely dissatisfied with his panic.

"Sir, outside.... A lot of troops came from outside, saying that they wanted to arrest people. ”

"What!"

Liu Wenqi was taken aback, and stood up, "Take me to see!" ”

He was really angry in his heart, he was a dignified free horseman, and it was almost anti-heaven that an army dared to surround his mansion.

He walked out of the gate quickly, only to see the fire outside the gate hunting, hundreds of heavily armed soldiers standing in the square outside the gate, each holding a torch, illuminating the front of the gate as if it were day.

Without waiting for Liu Wenqi to speak, a Lang general stepped forward and said: "Fan Zhi, the general of Xialang, was ordered by the King of Qin to arrest Zhang Wenlong, a spy of the Sui Dynasty, this person is in Liu Yuanjun's mansion, please Liu Yuanjun hand him over." ”

Liu Wenqi was furious, "Why don't you say that I am a spy of the Sui Army?" ”

General Lang still said calmly: "The last general is acting on orders, please cooperate with Liu Yuanjun!" ”

At this time, the housekeeper next to him whispered a few words to Liu Wenqi, Liu Wenqi's face changed, and he asked urgently: "When did he leave?" ”

"Master, he's been gone for several days, and he hasn't come back, and no one knows where he's gone?"

Liu Wenqi's face became solemn, and he began to realize that something was wrong, if Zhang Wenlong was really a spy of the Sui Army, it would implicate him.

He suddenly lost all his anger, and said with some trepidation: "General Fan, Zhang Wenlong has not been in the mansion for the past two days, can you grace the two-day period, I will definitely send him to the military office with my own hands." ”

General Lang smiled coldly, "Liu Yuanjun, then I won't be able to make a difference, we have to search Zhang Wenlong's room, if Liu Yuanjun refuses, we will thoroughly search the whole mansion!" ”

His tone was full of threats, and Liu Wenqi had no choice but to say to the housekeeper: "Take them to Zhang Wenlong's room." ”

Lang Jiang Fan Zhiyi waved his hand, "Follow me to search!" ”

Dozens of soldiers followed him into the gate of the mansion quickly, Liu Wenqi looked at their backs, and was suspicious in his heart, Zhang Wenlong was his concubine's brother-in-law, a scoundrel in the capital, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and doing everything.

But if he was willing to be a spy of the Sui army, Liu Wenqi felt that he didn't have the guts, but these sergeants were so sure, there must be some basis, which made Liu Wenqi's heart uneasy.

Time passed little by little, and suddenly, there was a slight commotion in the side courtyard, the soldiers seemed to have found something, and the housekeeper ran to report to Liu Wenqi in a panic, "Master, the sergeant dug up a package under the bed, which contained a lot of gold and silver and a token, which seemed to be related to the Sui army." ”

Liu Wenqi's heart was cold all of a sudden, how could this be? At this time, Lang General Fan Zhi led the soldiers out quickly, and Liu Wenqi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Fan, there may be a misunderstanding here. ”

Fan Zhi snorted coldly, "Liu Yuanjun." Go and explain it to the Holy One! ”

He walked out of Liu's mansion quickly and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

The five hundred soldiers quickly withdrew and soon disappeared into the darkness, leaving only the stunned Liu Wenqi ......

Before the time came, hundreds of officials who were ready to participate in the early dynasty stood in front of the Taiji Hall Square, and the officials gathered in twos and threes. Whispering, they felt a little strange, as usual. The bell to enter the temple should have rang a long time ago, what happened today? The bell did not ring for a long time.

At this moment, several eunuchs walked out of the main hall. A tall and fat eunuch shouted: "Ministers, please listen quietly! ”

The square suddenly fell silent, and hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at the eunuch together, and the eunuch shouted loudly: "Holy Lord, the court is suspended this morning, and the ministers can go back to the court room and go to the court normally tomorrow!" ”

He shouted three times in a row, and everyone knew that the Holy One was sick, and since this was the case, there was no need to wait here. Everyone walked towards Chengtianmen.

Pei Lin was also among the court officials, he had just walked a few steps, but he heard someone behind him calling him, "Pei Xiangguo, please stay!" ”

As soon as Pei Lin turned around, he saw the eldest grandson Wuji waving to him not far away. He felt strange in his heart, and walked up to him and asked, "Mowgli, is there something wrong?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji pulled him to the side and walked to a no-man's land, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness is in the Wude Palace, please go over to Xiangguo." ”

Pei Lin suddenly realized. The saint was not sick, but something happened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji whispered a few words to him, and Pei Lian's eyes burst out with surprise in an instant, does Liu Wenjing also have today?

"Xiangguo, His Highness feels that this matter is very important, and wants to invite Xiangguo to come over."

Pei Lin nodded, and asked urgently: "What is the attitude of His Highness?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "His Royal Highness thinks that Liu Wenjing is the founder of the country and the country, and he always feels that it seems a little inappropriate to condemn his crime in this way. ”

"The kindness of a woman!"

Pei Lin scolded, he was really a little annoyed in his heart, Liu Wenjing is the prince's wisdom, and killing Liu Wenjing is equivalent to cutting off the prince's arm, what a good opportunity this is, at this critical time, King Qin was so merciful.

"Let me go and speak to the Holy One!" Pei Lin turned around and walked quickly towards the Wude Palace......

"This is the Xiangguo you recommended, the so-called founding hero!"

In the imperial study, Li Yuan was very angry, slapped the table, and angrily reprimanded Li Jiancheng, "Now that the evidence is conclusive, you still have to defend him, do you have to wait for him to kill me to confirm that he is a spy of the Sui Dynasty?" ”

In front of the imperial case, there were the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qin Li Shimin standing on the left and right, and the Taiyuan Express and the evidence found out were that Li Shimin handed it over to his father, but he did not say that Liu Wenjing was a spy, in fact, he also felt a little unlikely, with Liu Wenjing's identity, how could he do such a thing.

However, the Taiyuan Wang family is also the Sui Xiang and secretly connected with the Tang Dynasty, so he can't be sure that it must be an unjust case, and Tang Feng is the intelligence agency he set up, if he doesn't even believe it, he can't say it.

So he gave everything to his father, and it was up to him to decide.

Li Jiancheng was sweating profusely, and his heart was extremely nervous, although his father was already angry, he must speak fairly, otherwise Liu Wenjing's life would be in danger.

"Father, in fact, the evidence is not conclusive, it is nothing more than Xiao Jin telling Li Chongshou a little news, but how can we prove that Xiao Jin did not mean it, could it be that he could take the lives of our important ministers with a casual word?"

Li Jiancheng took a deep breath and said: "And Erchen remembers very clearly, at that time, we gave in because Dunhuang County had been de facto occupied by the Sui army, this is not a bottom line, what is the point of Liu Wenjing telling the Sui envoy this so-called bottom line?" Father, think twice! ”

'Smack! Li Yuan slapped the token on the table and said viciously: "Then you explain to me, what happened to the Sui Army token found from Liu Wenqi's mansion?" ”

Li Jiancheng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, quickly glanced at Li Shimin, lowered his head and said, "Father, it is not ruled out that someone deliberately planted it!" ”
