Originally, Guo Yu also thought that he should lie down for a long time in the morning, but after hearing that it was seven days and seven nights, he was also taken aback.

He didn't feel any serious discomfort in his body, or he didn't know what was going on in his body, so why did he lie down for seven days and seven nights?

"I have been lying for seven days and seven nights?"

"yes. What's the matter? Why don't we change and you run for me for seven days and seven nights?"

"You've been running for seven days and seven nights, and I haven't seen you lose weight?"

"you. Look at my face, don't you look haggard? Tell you that I have been staring for a while while while eating and going to the thatched house, and I haven't touched the bedside for many days. ”

When Guo Yu heard this, he was sneered.

Xian Yuyan's skin is dry, and subtle wrinkles are revealed at the corners of her eyes, which is indeed a tired face. I really don't know what happened to exhaust him to this point.

"I haven't washed my face for a few days. What's going on? Can it tire you like this. Guo Hua stopped teasing him.

"A major case of rebellion that lasted nearly 100 years was concluded yesterday and every day. ”

Xian Yuyan opened her small eyes, waved her hands, lengthened her voice, and made an incredible expression.

Although Guo Hua was in a coma for a few days, his head was very clear. Born in a family of eunuchs and living in the capital for a long time, he naturally knows that this kind of case is often inextricably linked, and it is considered fast to be able to find out and close the case in a year and a half.

The crow group has been planning for nearly a hundred years, and I am afraid that the DPRK and China have long been full of henchmen, and there have been countless crimes during this period, and the court will not be unintelligible. How could it be so fast?

Guo Hua was shocked.

Although it was not expected that his father had only traced the matter of Bian Lingcheng and Gao Xianzhi and involved the big case of the Crow Group, after all, he had been running for it for a long time, and he just slept for a while, although he slept for a long time, but it ended the case like this.

Guo Hua doesn't want to make things very serious, he prefers to face some things in a relaxed and happy way.

"Ho. Which man is so resourceful that he can uproot the imperial court for a hundred years in just a few days?"

"It's the emperor's meaning. Xian Yuyan patted her thigh lightly and breathed a sigh of relief, "And it's not just the emperor's meaning." ”

This is even stranger. This is the emperor's own family's business, someone has been thinking under his nose for more than a hundred years, to usurp his own good rivers and mountains, and he has done it so hastily?

This kind of thing, in exchange for which dynasty and which generation and which emperor, I am afraid that the whole world will be shaken off to the bottom, and those who should be killed and those who should not be killed will be killed.

Moreover, it is not just the emperor's meaning?

"In this matter, your left street envoy has also participated in it from beginning to end?

It's not that Guo Yu doesn't believe in Xian Yuyan, it's just that the duties of the Zuojie envoy are usually in charge of fire prevention and theft prevention, household registration placement, vigilance and night patrol, health and security, etc.

Guo Hua couldn't help but wonder if this was not heard by Yan Dao, rather than what he had seen in person.

"Hush. Are you still afraid that I will lie to you, it is true that it is not my turn to be busy with this matter, but the court doesn't know what's wrong, not only me, but I also wanted Han Dang to go with me, but he was injured, so it was just that. ”

"Is it because you and Han Dang have both entered Zhongnan Mountain this time to participate, so you two have been assisting from it?"

"No, it's not that simple. ”

"Oh?" Guo Yu replied softly.

Xian Yuyan saw Guo Yu's thoughts, and even told him what had happened in the past few days.

It turned out that when Hui Lin brought everyone back to Chang'an through the secret method that day, it was still in the middle of the day.

Xian Yuyan returned home and found that her attendant Ma Liu'er had been waiting at home, and had been waiting for nearly two hours. said that he had received an order from the imperial court to quickly gather people and horses in Yanhuo, enter the crow's nest in Zhongnan Mountain, clear the remnants, and raid the crime site.

Ma Liu took out the imperial edict, and Xian Yuyan saw that the stamp was actually the big seal of Zhongshu Province, although it was not as good as the emperor's seal, at least it was something that the emperor personally asked.

In the past, most of the cases that needed to be brought forward by the left and right street envoys were issued by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, asking for the cooperation of the investigation. It's no wonder that Ma Liuhuo was in a hurry and waited in his own home.

Xian Yuyan naturally knows that in today's chaos, he is a small official, but he can carry out orders if he has them, but he can answer them with questions, and he shouldn't think about anything.

Xian Yuyan washed up briefly, changed into official clothes, and went to Zuojin Wuwei to gather 200 guards and more than a dozen good hands for investigation and search, and went to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain in accordance with the instructions of the imperial decree.

When I came to a mountain col, I found that a large part of the valley had been leveled, and temporary tents were built, and rice, vegetables, and forage for cattle and horses were stored, which became a supply station and a transit station. At the same time, it is also responsible for checking people entering and leaving the mountains.

In charge of this place is a team of people under Zuo Qianniuwei. Qianniuwei was originally a force directly responsible for the security of the Imperial Palace, and should not have carried out such a mission.

Coincidentally, the leader of the team took Mo Siqi and Xian Yuyan is old acquaintance, and he was righteous and refreshing, and without waiting for Xian Yuyan to ask, he pulled Xian Yuyan aside and whispered.

It turned out that it was Emperor Suzong who directly issued an order to the left and right Qianniu guards and the left and right prison guards, and ordered the generals of the various government armies to immediately select the guards to go to Zhongnan Mountain to establish supply depots and check the passes. All officials, soldiers, and even heavy weapons and files that enter and leave Zhongnan Mountain will be inspected and registered.

Even if someone brings out a handful of grass from Zhongnan Mountain, the people involved and the name of the handful of grass, the time of entry and exit, and where it is going must be clearly recorded.

And how many troops have been sent out and how many such passes have been built, not to mention Mo Siqi, even the general in command is not clear. For each of the four armies acted according to their secret orders, and marched to their designated locations according to their own secret road maps, and only one place was marked on each map.

Once the demon was subdued, it took less than half an hour for the decree to be issued. An hour later, Mo Siqi's team had arrived at their designated position.

In the meantime, people from Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Officials, the Prosecutor's Office, and so on have all entered Zhongnan Mountain. Even the king of Quang Binh sent a team of his own guards, nearly three hundred people, into the mountains.

The crowds are mixed and even a little chaotic. Each team said that they were acting according to the will of the imperial court, but fortunately, everyone had been in the officialdom for a long time, and the things on the face were done according to the rules, which was not difficult to do.

However, such a battle scene always makes people feel uncomfortable, as if something is about to happen.

Moreover, Mo Siqi lowered his voice and told Xian Yuyan very carefully that before their team arrived here, there should have been one group of people entering the mountain, maybe two. This is not only a crime of dereliction of duty, but the emperor knows that he will be killed. Moreover, the actions of these two groups of people are very suspicious and disturbing.

It turned out that as soon as Mo Siqi arrived at the designated place, he arranged for the guards to set up checkpoints and set up tents, and he took a team of ten people to explore the area within a radius of ten miles.

On the opposite hill, there are obvious traces of two groups of people passing by one after another. It's just not clear if they're a team of people or if they're part of a different organization. Looking at the traces, it is estimated that more than 100 people have passed by.

The grass and trees trampled by the two streams of men and horses were covered with heavy dew, and it must have entered the mountains long before dawn. At that time, the demons had not yet been subdued.

"Who took such a risk into the mountains, and General Mo didn't make any further visits later?" Guo Hua interjected.

"Nope. Mo Siqi suppressed this matter, if it weren't for the fact that I had a fateful friendship with him, he would rather suffocate than say it. If the court knows about it, it will lose its head. ”

"It's really an unbelievable thing. Then after you entered the mountain, didn't you find any trace of these two groups of men and horses?"

"Nope. Just like Mo Siqi was worried, this matter was very chaotic, people from all walks of life came one after another, staggered and complicated, each of the thieves in the den of the yamen, each handling the case, no one cared about anyone, no one cared about anyone. Arresting the bandits, investigating the scene, and collecting evidence, each went its own way, and almost no one could get a complete clue, and it was all chaotic. Even if someone arrives at the scene first, they can't see it at all. ”

"Messy. Broken. I'm afraid there are still a lot of things missing, right?" Guo Yu looked at Xian Yuyan and muttered to himself.

"Speaking of which, it is even more disturbing. According to the history and development scale of the Crow Group, its collection of documents, letters, and account files should be innumerable. From the imperial court to the state roads and even the frontiers, there should also be a lot of letters and physical evidence of civil and military officials having fornications with them, but these are pitifully few. It's like digging up a towering giant tree, but you only see a few hairy roots, and you can't say anything at all. ”

"Are there any clues that you can follow the vine?"

"In this regard, the other party is also very clean. It's just that it's impossible to say whether the crow has been clean all along, or if the person who arrived first that day has done it. It took about two and a half days to raid the case, and after returning to the capital, the imperial court issued an order led by Dali Temple, with the cooperation of the Criminal Department and other ministries and departments, and the supervision of the Inspector's Office, all the files and documents, thieves and prisoners, and the suspects of thieves and prisoners were uniformly sorted out, interrogated and examined, and all confessions, documents, and letters were all correct, and there were almost no omissions, which was simply seamless.

Judging from the codex letters of all kinds of fornication bandits, the first years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty were the most rampant. From the princes and princes to the chief clerks, and even the generals of the frontier, they are all suspected of fornicating with crows.

Even a general who had been stationed in the Western Regions swore in the letter that he swore to follow the young master of the crow to the death, and if he did something, he would definitely bring troops to Chang'an to conspire with him. The letter also contained the signatures of the general and several of his lieutenants.

There are nearly ten generals like him who have real power to lead troops, and there are more than 100 generals from all walks of life, and those files make everyone fidgeting in a cold sweat on the spot, and the situation in Datang at that time seems to be no better than now. ”

"Oh, what happened to the general, and all the other generals involved?"

"During the Tianbao period, the general returned to his hometown, died at the end of his life, and the court gave him a nickname, although his descendants no longer became officials, they all got gold and jade fields, and lived and worked in peace and contentment. The other generals were in a similar situation, either for their outstanding achievements and repeated awards, or for their conscientious efforts to defend the frontier, except for three generals who died in the frontier war, most of the rest enjoyed their old age peacefully. Based on everyone's impression of them on weekdays, they would never have thought that they would have an affair with the thief.

As for the deeds of those lieutenants and generals, there are many suspicious things. In addition to the five people who have repeatedly made meritorious contributions in the frontier war and have been promoted by the imperial court, two of the three old dead soldiers are currently on the front line of the crusade against An Lushan, and they are also brave and good at fighting, and there is no heresy. The remaining 100 people all died. ”

"All of them died? Are there more than 100 commanders? Didn't they arouse the suspicion of the people in the DPRK and China at that time?"

"Death is a horizontal death, but it is not overnight. Comparing the documents seized from the crow's nest and all the files collected by the Dali Temple, the Military Department, and the Criminal Department, from the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty to the middle of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, about ten years have passed, and less than half of these people have been executed for violating military law, some of them have died or disappeared in battle while fighting on the border, and more than 20 have died of injuries and wind diseases, and more than 10 are more strange and more obvious, only recording the date of birth and death, as well as the name relationship of the three clans in the family. When such a file appeared in the Ministry of War, the current colleagues in the Ministry of War were all dumbfounded and frightened.

Some of the civil officials involved in the case were much smaller in number, but most of them died by accident, or died of disease, or were robbered on the way to transfer. Only one Zhongshusheren surnamed Zhang volunteered to supervise the army in a war against Tibet, and then returned to his hometown and was able to spend his old age in peace. ”

"Oh, in this way, these people who are involved with crows have been properly disposed of in the middle of the Kaiyuan period. When mentioning the words "proper disposal", Guo Hua's tone was full of surprise and admiration, and his tone was particularly heavy.

Without waiting for Xian Yuyan to say anything, Guo Yu immediately asked: "Is it that in the Tianbao period, the activities of the Crow Group have been reined in, and there are very few officials involved with it?"

"That's right, in the late Kaiyuan period and even during the Tianbao period, the crow's movements decreased sharply, as if they were dormant and hibernating. In the past few decades, the literature has reflected that there are no more than 30 civil and military officials associated with it, and most of them have only a small official position. But you've been sleeping in bed for a few days, how do you know that?"

"This is not difficult to guess, you think, the Empress of Heaven once wantonly slaughtered the Li clan, and even appointed cool officials, indiscriminately killing in vain, civil and military officials were all trembling, presumably at that time the crows and the gang took the opportunity to collude, and the power reached its peak. As for the Kaiyuan period, the current Emperor Taishang was in his prime, and how could he not have noticed the truth of the civil and martial arts and martial arts? Moreover, judging from the results of these people, it is also very much in line with the old emperor's style of acting, for the shrewd and capable people, he is good at caring for the gentle, rewarding and punishing clearly, and for the mediocre and low-end people, he does not mind using thunderous means. ”

"Hey—that's very likely. But don't you think we're going to face a bigger mystery in this way?"
