Chapter 151: Closing the Net
Anyone who has fished knows that as long as you are willing to put down the bait, it is not difficult to let the fish bite the hook, but it is difficult to catch the fish, the key is to grasp the timing of the reel, the harvest is early, the fish has not yet bitten the hook, the harvest is late, the fish have already eaten the bait into the stomach, this kind of time to grasp the heat has not been ten or eight years of tempering, it is difficult to achieve something, but well, this one does not matter to Li Zhen, he does not fish, cast the net, the bait in the left and right hands is abundant, simply scatter the will go down, and the fish will all be deceived over, This is the big net, a pot served, but it is also very convenient, but this net down, the salvage is too fierce, whether you can smoothly pull the net up is difficult to say, it is not good to make the fish drag down the water, then the fun is great, isn't it? No, don't look at Li Zhen who is sitting silently opposite Mo Li at this moment, staring at the chessboard with a pair of eyes, frowning, looking like thinking about the chess game, in fact, his mind has long been out of knowing where to fly, and the chess game is naturally stinky, and he was stunned that Mo Li, who was several points inferior to him in chess strength, was killed, and it can be regarded as letting Mo Li get over his addiction and regain some of the face that he lost miserably on weekdays.
"Your Highness, there is news." Just as Li Zhen was thinking about it, Na Long hurriedly walked into the study and reported in a low voice.
"Oh?" Li Zhen raised his head from his contemplation, glanced at Nalong, although his face was calm, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he pondered for a while, and then asked, "How about the casualties?" ”
Li Zhen didn't ask about the results of the battle first, but first asked about the casualties, just this one, which made Nalong sigh in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Twelve dead, eighteen wounded, all of them are people from the internal office, and it was the men and horses who shot the 'bell', but they didn't succeed, the carriage was hijacked by others, and I don't know who did it." According to the news from the flying pigeons outside the city, the logistics department was intercepted and killed, although there was no loss of personnel, but the carriage was lost, the enemy was unknown, and it was suspected that it was the general in the army, Yan Hechun was defeated, the enemy did not pursue, and let us retreat on its own; the road to Gyeonggi was safe, and there was nothing surprising, and the 'Shengyuan' was still under the control of the 'Eagle Group'. ”
A general in the army? Damn, who could it be? As soon as he heard that it was a general in the army, Li Zhen's brows immediately locked, without him, Yan Hedong's martial arts Li Zhen knew in his heart, although he was not too clever, but he was not a mediocre hand, although there were many military generals in the Tang Dynasty who could defeat Yan Hedong, but there were not many who could win with one combination, and even fewer in Beijing at the moment, Li Zhen had vaguely guessed who that person was, and his heart couldn't help sinking, but he didn't want to say anything more about this matter, he thought silently for a while, and said with a long sigh: "That's good, Ming'er sent someone to the military department early in the morning to take a leave of absence for the king, and said that the king occasionally felt the wind and cold, and wanted to rest for two days, and the order went down, so that Yan Hedong would lead the crowd to come to the palace as soon as the city gate opened tomorrow, and the 'wild goose group' was responsible for the overall supervision, and the rest of the two roads were tired, so they would first arrange for them to rest in the palace, and then discuss it early tomorrow morning, so that Chen Liang strengthened his vigilance, and no one was allowed to enter and leave at will. ”
Tired, really tired, these days Li Zhen has to be busy with the logistics of the army's expedition, and also busy with the arrangement of eradicating the traitor, and has to deal with the old man, both physically and mentally have reached the point of overdraft, at this moment the net has been collected, the only thing that is missing is the results of the check, Li Zhen's heart has always been tense Xuan is sent down, more and more tired, his head just touched the pillow, and immediately fell asleep, and he slept until the three poles of the sun before he woke up, and the maids served together to change their clothes and freshen up. After a hurried breakfast, I hurried to the study.
"Your Highness, everyone has arrived." Na Long, who was chatting with Mo Li, saw Li Zhen walking into the study, got up busily, and hurriedly reported.
"Okay, let's get started." Li Zhen didn't talk nonsense, nodded her head, walked straight to the seat of the head and sat down, and said in a flat tone.
"Yes." Na Long responded respectfully, walked to the door of the study, and did not speak, but applauded gently, and after a while, more than a dozen palace guards escorted or escorted more than a dozen "Rising Sun" middle and high-level personnel into the study, Yan Hedong, Yan Chun and others were among them.
"See Your Highness." When the "Rising Sun" personnel saw Li Zhen, they immediately rushed forward to salute.
"That's it, let's all get up." Li Zhen waved his hand quietly, then turned his head, looked at Na Long and said, "Mr. Na, this will be handed over to you, this king listens." ”
Although Li Zhen's words are plain, the meaning inside is not simple, this is clearly telling the high-level personnel of the "Rising Sun": In the future, the "Rising Sun" will be all decided by Nalong, and Nalon's decision is Li Zhen's decision. The high-level personnel of the "Rising Sun" present were all elves, and they could hear the meaning of Li Zhen's words, and their eyes at Na Long were immediately much more complicated, either jealous or envious, or jealous, but Na Long did not say anything, just lightly arched his hand to Li Zhen, turned around, glanced at the group of "Rising Sun" high-level officials, and said in a calm tone: "Everyone knows what happened last night, so I won't say more, Yan Chun, let's talk about it, why did the internal office cause an ambush?" ”
The internal service department was defeated last night, and more than half of the personnel were lost, Yan Chun already knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to pass this level, and at this time, he was the first to find himself when he saw Nalong, but he did not show any grievances, took a step forward, saluted respectfully, and said in a sad tone: "Your Highness, sir, your subordinates have no way to supervise, so that the soldiers are lost, and the crime deserves death, and your Highness is also asked to punish you." ”
Li Zhen didn't speak, just sat there calmly, Na Long sneered, looked at Yan Chun and said, "Manager Yan said it nicely, but why don't you tell me how you hooked up with 'Ringing' and betrayed the secret of my 'Rising Sun', huh?" ”
As soon as Na Long's words came out, everyone was in an uproar, Yan Chun's face first turned white, and then immediately turned red, staring at Na Long angrily, gritting his teeth, tearing off his own clothes, revealing his scarred chest, and said hatefully: "A certain person has entered the 'Rising Sun' since he was fourteen years old, and he has fought dozens of battles, how can he ever retreat, let alone betray his brother, Mr. must have evidence to speak!" ”
Yan Chun is the first batch of "Rising Sun" children, brave, has always been very popular, the "Rising Sun" executives present did not believe that Yan Chun would do something to hook up with the "Ringing", at this time saw Yan Chun aggrieved, all of them thought it was true, first Yan Cheng, and then Yan Hedong all stood up one after another, expressing their support for Yan Chun, under the anger of the crowd, the scene couldn't help but be a little out of control, but Li Zhen was good, not only did not stop it, but closed his eyes, and he didn't care about himself, just sat down leisurely.
Li Zhen didn't speak, and the high-level "Rising Sun" was even more cheerful, but Na Long didn't care - for Na Long, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to fully control the "Rising Sun", without him, as far as he is an outsider, even with Li Zhen's absolute support, it is not easy to make a group of hard-working "Rising Sun" children obedient, if you can eradicate the prestige established by the traitor, all this will be solved, therefore, although the "Rising Sun" high-level shouting together, Na Long didn't pay attention to it, just stood there quietly, until everyone finished shouting, then sneered and said, "Chief Yan wants evidence? Well, let me ask you, the day before yesterday, I explained that this transfer must be kept secret, how did you do it? How was the march arranged? And who knows all about the plan? ”
Na Long asked a series of questions, Yan Chun was immediately smashed a little dizzy, and after being stunned for a while, he said hatefully: "Yan Mou was ordered to arrange this transfer plan, but he only discussed the march route and related personnel arrangements with Deputy Chief Liu, and it was not leaked. ”
Deputy Chief Manager Liu's name is Liu Qi, not born as a child of the Yan family, but the most outstanding group of orphans collected by the "Yan Ji Company", shrewd and able to endure hardships, joined the "Rising Sun" for only six years, and has been promoted to the high position of the deputy head of the Internal Affairs Department. The subordinates ordered all the relevant personnel to arrive at the 'Sheng Garden' together, during which the head of Yan did not leave, and the subordinates could testify to this. ”
Listening to Liu Qi's testimony, the look of injustice on Yan Chun's face immediately rose, he glared at Na Long angrily, and said with a sneer: "Mr. Na, are you still satisfied with this explanation?" ”
Yan Chun's words were full of sarcasm, but Na Long was unmoved, and said with a flat face: "Deputy Manager Liu's words, a certain self can be trusted, hey, but your Manager Yan's words are not necessarily true, where did you go before discussing with Deputy Manager Liu?" Who did you see again? Mr. Yan won't not remember, right? ”
As soon as Na Long's words came out, a trace of hesitation flashed in Yan Chun's eyes, but he did not let go of his mouth because of this, and said with a sneer: "Yan has never been out of the headquarters since he received the order, how can he go to see irrelevant people, who is Mr. Na referring to, Yan does not know, please advise!" ”
"Hehe, that's a good point!" Na Long smiled coldly, ignoring everyone's reactions, strode to the door of the study, slapped his palm, and said, "Bring it up!" As soon as the words fell, after a while, several burly men strode in with a prisoner tied up like a dumpling, led by Yan Eighteen, who had already been put on death row by Na Long the day before!
As soon as he saw Yan Eighteen, who had already been taken, suddenly appear here, the high-level "Rising Sun" who was full of room suddenly gasped, and everyone was shocked, but Yan Eighteen ignored it so much, strode up to Li Zhen, and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, Eighteen was ordered to conduct a secret investigation, and I have already obtained, please give instructions to Your Highness." ”
Li Zhen opened her eyes, waved her hand with a flat face, and said, "Speak!" ”
"Yes!" Yan Eighteen saluted, turned around, walked in front of Yan Chun, and said with a gloomy face: "Fourth brother, I'm sorry, Your Highness and my Yan family are connected, how can you be so confused!" ”
As soon as Yan Chun saw the man who was tied, he knew that something was wrong, and at this time, seeing Yan Eighteen talking like this, he concluded that he was completely finished, so he simply let go, laughed, and after laughing for a while, he patted Yan Eighteen on the shoulder and said: "Eighteen, my brother can't stand you, the big mistake has been made, and my brother has nothing to say, I want my brother to work so hard, but in the end, this 'Rising Sun' manager turned out to be an outsider, my brother is not convinced, hey, the mistake is wrong, my brother admits that it is, and it has nothing to do with the eighteenth brother." As soon as he finished speaking, he strode up to Li Zhen, knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few respectfully, and said calmly: "Yan was wrongly loved by His Royal Highness, and he should have repaid His Highness's great favor with death, but unfortunately a certain thought was wrong, and Mr. Na replaced the eighteenth, and the contact with King Wei without permission was really out of a certain act, originally just intended to embarrass Mr. Na, but he never wanted to fall into it." Ringing the bell's hand, so that one mistake after another, even affected many of his brothers, a certain dare not ask His Highness for mercy, this is a certain blame, nothing to do with others, and please Your Highness do not be angry with the eighteenth. ”
Wrath! Extreme rage! Li Zhen looked at Yan Chun who was kneeling in front of him, and his heart was furious, the news of leaking Wang Ji at this time was still a trivial matter, if he waited for the big chaos to start and then leaked the military plane, it would be a lot of fun, Li Zhen didn't believe that Yan Chun did this rebellious act just to give Yan Eighteen a vent, but he didn't bother to investigate the real reason for his betrayal, he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, glanced at Yan Chun, and said coldly: "You are" The Rising Sun's old minister, the rules don't need to be said more by this king, come on, drag it down, cut it! ”
As soon as Li Zhen said this, the high-level "Rising Sun" in the study room was immediately shocked - Yan Eighteen's tall body trembled, and a pair of eyes looked at Li Zhen with a look of begging, but he didn't dare to come forward to persuade one or two; Yan Cheng's face turned pale, he secretly shrank his head, his lips moved, and he didn't have the courage to step forward to plead; Yan Hedong and Yan Chun are friends who grew up together, at this time, seeing Li Zhen gave a killing order, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and he relied on being Li Zhen's cousin, seeing that everyone didn't dare to open his mouth to plead, he immediately couldn't help it, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Highness is angry, although Yan Chun's sin is unforgivable, but on his past merits, please ask His Highness to be merciful and give Yan Chun a chance to reform himself." ”
Yes, as soon as Yan Hedong said this, all the high-level officials of the "Rising Sun" in the room stood up, all of them pleaded for Yan Chun to ease their cheeks, and the room was buzzing for a while.
It stands to reason that Yan Chun's move is a capital crime, but so many children of the Yan family intercede for it, and Li Zhen is okay with letting him go, the problem is that Li Zhen can't-The Yan family and Li Zhen are grasshoppers on the same line, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, it has long been difficult to distinguish each other, but there is one that makes Li Zhen a headache - now the Yan family's power in Li Zhen's hands occupies too much share, and the economic source is not to be said, and the same is true in the officialdom, if it is really the same for the intelligence department, I am afraid that this way of balance will not be able to be performed at all, and an organization that cannot achieve balance will end up very miserably in the future, even if Li Zhenzhen is on the throne, in order to consolidate the throne, it is inevitable to put a dead hand to rectify the Yan family in the future, without him, no wise emperor will allow the existence of powerful relatives, there are many such lessons in history, therefore, rather than waiting until the future is out of control before the death hand, it is better to control it while it can be recovered, which is also the head of Li Zhen will be "Rising Sun" The most secret reason that was handed over to Na Long, at this time, in the face of everyone's plea, Li Zhen waved his hand coldly, and ordered unceremoniously: "Drag it down, cut it!" As soon as the words fell, several palace guards rushed up, dragging Yan Chun and the "bell" spy who had entered the "Rising Sun" down, and a moment later, two rapid screams came from outside the study, and the two guards walked in with two plates containing human heads, and presented the bloody human heads.
Rao is high-level people who are used to seeing life and death are all high-level people who are used to seeing life and death, and when they see such a scene at this time, they can't help but feel a little frightened, and they all stand there in silence, feeling uncomfortable. Li Zhen looked at the two heads disappreciatively, glanced at everyone, nodded to Na Long and said, "Mr. Na, please continue." ”
Na Long shrugged his shoulders, turned back, calmly glanced at everyone, and slowly spoke: "With Liu Qi taking over the post of head of the internal affairs department, I hope that Er can fulfill his duties and live up to His Highness's love." ”
Although Liu Qi was shocked by Yan Chun's death, he never thought that the internal office would be handed over to his own hands, and he didn't have a trace of preparation in his heart, so he couldn't help but stay for a while, and didn't react for a while - he was the old man of "Rising Sun", but he was not a child of the Yan family, according to the convention, all the people who took over the "Rising Sun" were direct children of the Yan family, and others could only be promoted to the position of deputy chief manager at most. Liu Qi woke up from the shock, took a step forward, nodded to the ground on one knee, and said in a loud voice: "The subordinate takes the order." ”
"Good." Na Long nodded, motioned for Liu Qi to get up, then walked to Yan Hedong's side, and asked very politely: "Manager Yan, can you tell me why the logistics department was intercepted?" ”
Na Long asked this very politely, but Yan Hedong jumped up as if he had been stung by a bee, looked at Na Long angrily and said, "Mr. Na doesn't think that someone is like Yan Chun?" Damn, it's too much! ”
Among the people present, only Yan Hedong dared to get angry with Na Long, after all, he was Li Zhenzheng's cousin, which was not very polite, but Na Long didn't care, and smiled and said: "Manager Yan is afraid that it is a misunderstanding, so I just asked, who did Manager Yan discuss the plan of action with?" ”
"A certain self-ordered, only discussed with Li Minghe and Wang Kai, the two deputy directors, and no outsiders participated, hum, Mr. Na wants to take a certain one, please come up with evidence!" Although Yan Hedong was furious, he still answered Na Long's question honestly, but his tone was not very particular.
"Oh." Na Long smiled and nodded, not caring about Yan Hedong's tone at all, walked to Wang Kai's side, tilted his head, looked very curious, looked Wang Kai up and down, and saw that Wang Kai was uncomfortable.
Wang Kai is neither a child of the Yan family, nor an orphan taken in by the "Yan Ji Firm", but a shopkeeper from the "Yan Ji Firm", because of his good calculations, he was transferred to the "Rising Sun" logistics department, and he is also the veteran of the "Rising Sun". I, I ......"
"What about you?" Na Long sneered and said, "Deputy Chief Wang, is it easy to get His Royal Highness the Prince's money?" ”
"Fart, you bloody mouth! Lao Tzu is working hard for the 'Rising Sun', how can you be so slandered, you ......" When Wang Kai heard this, he immediately became anxious, jumping to his feet and scolding.
"Really?" Na Long chuckled and said, "How did you get that house on South Gate Street?" And who is the beautiful girl surnamed Chen? Doesn't Deputy Director Wang want to explain? ”
"I, I, I ......" Wang Kai's forehead immediately appeared with beads of sweat the size of beans, stammered for a long time, suddenly rushed out, knelt down in front of Li Zhen, but kowtowed vigorously and said: "Your Highness spare your life, the little one is guilty, the little one is guilty, the palace is for the sake of a certain person who has worked hard for His Highness, you don't remember the villain, just spare the life of a small dog, Your Highness, please......"
Damn, eat dog things inside and out, a woman in a house dares to betray Lao Tzu, hey, so daring! Li Zhen looked at Wang Kai, who kowtowed like pounding garlic, and felt as disgusting as eating a fly, and he didn't even bother to look at it, waved his hand and said, "Drag it out, cut it!" The guards of the prince's mansion rushed forward unceremoniously, ignoring Wang Kai's struggle, picked up Wang Kai, and dragged him out, all the way full of Wang Kai's mournful begging for mercy.
"You are all important ministers of my 'Rising Sun', this king will not forget your merits, and he has always been stingy with rewards, but if anyone acts recklessly behind the back of this king, Yan Chun and Wang Kai are role models." Li Zhen glanced at the panicked crowd, gritted his teeth and said: "From today on, this king doesn't want to see such a scene again, I hope you can do it yourself, Mr. Na, the matter of the 'Rising Sun' will be handed over to you, what to do, you look at it and do it." As soon as the words fell, no matter how Na Long and the others reacted, they got up, looked at Mo Li, who was always sitting silently, and said, "Mr. Mo, the weather is good today, let's go for a walk in the back garden with this king." Mo Li naturally understood that Li Zhen was just giving Na Long a chance to show grace to everyone, so he nodded with a smile, accompanied Li Zhen, and went straight to the back garden.
Li Zhen is rich and knows how to enjoy, the huge back garden is decorated with flowers, beautiful, but at the moment, the two of them have no trace of appreciation, just walk silently, after a long while, Li Zhen suddenly said: "Sir, it's time to hand over later, how will the fourth one move?" ”
"Court!" Mo Li smiled and replied with two words concisely.
"Oh? Hahaha......" Li Zhen laughed, and her laughter was full of self-satisfaction......
