Emperor Ren did not hesitate and immediately agreed to Lin Qian's suggestion.

"Lu Qu!"

"The minister is here!"

"I ordered you to go to Liangzhou to take charge of this matter, and you must first stabilize the people's hearts and appease the victims. As for the issue of disposing of them, we will wait until the officials who will be replaced in the future will be put in place. ”

"Guan Shirong!"

"The minister is here!"

"You arranged for the martial arts master of the Criminal Department to protect Lu Aiqing's safety with you!" "Obey the order!"

"Liu Yi!"

"The minister is here!"

"You arrange for a thousand Protector troops to obey Lu Aiqing's dispatch!" "Obey the order!"

Lu Qu knew that what Emperor Ren urgently needed now was to restore the people's livelihood in Liangzhou and regain the lost people's hearts, so he didn't dare to stay longer, so he immediately bowed down and thanked him, and walked towards the outside of the palace with Guan Shirong and Liu Yi.

Emperor Ren looked at the backs of the three of them leaving in a hurry, and slowly walked down the steps.

"I have always thought that my country is a country and a peaceful country;

I have always thought that as long as I am diligent in government and love the people, my people will have no worries about food and clothing;

I have always thought that as long as I exercise benevolent government, my officials will also love the people like children;

You say, didn't I think too well? ”

The remaining officials looked at Emperor Ren's painful questioning of them, and immediately knelt on the ground, "The ministers should die, they have failed Your Majesty's grace!" ”

"It's been two years since Liangzhou was hit by the disaster, as the saying goes, the food of the king is the king's worry, aren't you sorry for the past two years? Whether you deserve to die or not, I won't kill you, everyone donate a year's money, let you donate two years I'm afraid that someone should cry to me to be poor, but also to do something for the people who are suffering in Liangzhou, and make up for even a little guilt in your heart! ”

Emperor Ren's words hit the hearts of everyone in the court one by one, and no one dared to make a sound.

Because it is wrong to say anything now, two years to allocate one million quintals of disaster relief rations, and now it is such a result, and they have not received any information for nearly two years, and a year's salary is already the greatest mercy for them.

In particular, Li Yilong, as the head of the Shadow Division, boasted every day that the Shadow Division was pervasive and the information he received was timely and accurate.

The moment he heard Guan Shirong tell the information about Liangzhou, he understood Emperor Ren's intention to let him enter the Qianyuan Hall to observe.

From the first time he knelt down, he didn't stand up, lying on the ground, listening to Emperor Ren and the ministers, he felt extremely angry and ashamed!

It's like countless slaps in his face, and countless knives in his heart!

Every quarter of an hour in the Qianyuan Hall was an ordeal for him.

He quietly got up, ignored the eyes of the other ministers, and bowed down and exited the Qianyuan Palace.

He did not ask Emperor Ren for punishment, because it was useless to say anything now; He didn't ask Emperor Ren for forgiveness, because he didn't have the face to say such a thing.

The Shadow Division, who didn't know how to get in, looked at the crowd shuttling back and forth around them, looking busy, but they didn't know what they were busy with?

Standing in the middle of the hall, without the slightest word, his face was gloomy and dripping water.

Everyone finally realized that it was his fault, and gradually stopped, standing down and not daring to make any more sounds.

For a whole quarter of an hour, Shi Bin, Feng Buchao, Zhong Qing, and Zhou Yi were already standing behind him.

Li Yilong slowly turned around, walked towards them step by step, came to Zhong Qing's face, and slapped her in the face.

Zhong Qing didn't react, and smashed directly into the pillar of the hall.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, their faces changed in shock, but they didn't dare to make the slightest move, they hadn't seen Li Yilong angry for a long time, and it was so angry.

Li Yilong didn't seem to want to let her go, and walked towards her step by step.

Zhong Qing didn't make the slightest sound of pain, struggled to get up, and then knelt on the ground, motionless.

"Does it hurt?" This was the first thing Li Yilong said after he came in.

Seeing that Zhong Qing didn't respond, he widened his eyes and shouted again, "Answer me, does it hurt?" ”

Zhong Qing didn't dare to be silent anymore, trembling and said, "It hurts..."

"You know the pain, too? Yes? While speaking, Li Yilong grabbed her and slapped her out.

didn't continue to catch up, Li Yilong slowly turned around, looked at the crowd of people who bowed their heads and didn't dare to speak, and could no longer control the anger in their hearts.

"Do you know what Your Majesty called me into the Qianyuan Hall for? Yes? Just go and slap my old face! In front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, he didn't say a word to me, but every word His Majesty said was like a knife, piercing me out of breath! ”

Li Yilong closed his eyes tightly, gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, and slowly said the reason for the incident.

"Last time, I blamed myself for what happened to Ma Yitian, and I told His Highness that I almost missed a lot of key evidence because of the negligence of the Shadow Division. Today, is this still an oversight? I was deeply ashamed to have been slapped in the face twice in just a few days. Your Majesty handed over the Shadow Division to me, but I made it look like this, do you think I should die to apologize! I want to die, but I don't dare to die, I'm afraid that after I die, I won't have the face to meet the seniors of the Shadow Division! The glory they defended with their lives was completely lost by me, and I am not sorry to die, but I know that His Majesty asked me to go to the hearing, not to make me die of shame, but to understand why this is happening? ”

At this time, everyone had realized the seriousness of the matter, and knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak, and their faces were full of shame.

Li Yilong walked towards Zhong Qing again, "If you don't get the news from the secret agents of the Criminal Department, the Shadow Division is still in the dark, Zhong Qing, can you explain to me what the Espionage Department is doing?" ”

Seeing her kneeling on the ground and not daring to speak, Li Yilong slowly squatted down, pinched her chin, and looked into her eyes, "Tell me, what are you doing?" Why doesn't the Espionage Department have any feedback on such important news? I want to know why! ”

Zhong Qing replied tremblingly, "Dereliction of duty..."

Li Yilong shook off her chin violently, "What I want to hear now is not this, I want to know the reason!" ”

"Let's go check on the lowly position!" Zhong Qing struggled to stand up and hurriedly walked out of the hall.

Looking at Zhong Qing's back as he staggered away, Li Yilong narrowed his eyes slightly, "You three come in with me!" ”

Shi Bin and the three of them saw Li Yilong enter the chief division's room, and hurriedly got up and followed.

"What do you think?" Li Yilong did not have the slightest greeting, and directly asked their views on this matter.

Shi Bin bowed and saluted, "This matter is also responsible, and the lowly duty invites himself to Liangzhou to investigate this matter." ”

The wind is not chaotic, and he bows and salutes, "Immediately notify the Military Intelligence Department to participate in the investigation of the matter in Liangzhou." ”

Without waiting for Zhou Yi to speak, Li Yilong was furious again, "I'm not asking what you are going to do now, I'm asking what you think about this matter?" ”

They naturally understood what Li Yilong meant: "The espionage department is indeed to blame for this matter!" ”

"Is it the only one to blame?"

"Could it be that the chief is suspicious...?" Feng Buchao looked up at Li Yilong, and he immediately thought of an idea in his heart that he shouldn't have.

Shi Bin also looked at the wind and said uncertainly, "Probably not, right?" ”

Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and shook his head again, "Zhong Qing is an espionage elite personally cultivated by the previous head of the Yucai Division, and she has no reason to betray the Shadow Division!" ”

"You also said that she is an elite cultivated by Lao Zhou himself," Li Yilong turned his head and asked Zhou Yi, "I haven't gotten the slightest information for two years, is this normal?" ”

Zhou Yi frowned and didn't say anything more, in fact, the hearts of the three of them had already been shaken.

On the one hand, it is the trust of the people around him, and on the other hand, it is the incomprehension of the serious lag in the news of the Espionage Division.

Each of them is in charge of their own field, never suspicious of each other, and does not interfere with each other's affairs.

But now that such a big mistake has come out, it is no longer the responsibility of an espionage department that can take responsibility.

No one can shirk it, and it can't be shirked.

After a while, Li Yilong asked Zhou Yi again, "Zhou Yi, how is the training of the new batch of personnel of the Yucai Division?" ”

When asked about his chief division, Zhou Yi immediately replied, "Chief division, people between the ages of sixteen and twenty have completed their training and can be on call at any time." ”

"Okay, this group of people elected a person in charge and secretly went to Liangzhou, I want to see what the Shadow Division of Liangzhou is doing?" Li Yilong took out a token, "This group of people is currently reporting directly to me, and there is no need to go through the spy department!" ”

"Yes, I understand!" Zhou Yi took the token, turned around and walked out of the head office.

Shi Bin watched Zhou Yi walk out, and began to analyze the incident, "At present, it seems that the spy department in Liangzhou has lost its role, but I don't know which link went wrong!" ”

"No matter which link goes wrong, all of these people will have to be replaced and they can't be used anymore." Feng Buchao is the chief director of the Military Intelligence Department, and his style is to cut through the chaos with a quick knife and everything to the end.

Li Yilong pondered for a moment, "We still have to find out the root cause, and we can't just end it all at once, which will make those brothers who are loyal to the Shadow Division feel cold." can control the intelligence without leakage, there will definitely be people at key nodes involved, even if Zhong Qing has no problem, it should be someone she trusts extremely much, otherwise it is impossible for no news to be transmitted at all! ”

Both of them didn't want to believe that Zhong Qing had a problem, after all, they had worked together for many years and already had a deep relationship with each other.

The two looked at each other, and Shi Bin said again, "Judging from the current situation, the intelligence of the other eight states is quite normal, only Liangzhou has a problem." ”

Feng Buchao also nodded, agreeing with Shi Bin's opinion.

Li Yilong shook his head, "There can be no more carelessness, if the matter in Liangzhou doesn't break out, we don't know that it will be so serious." I will ask the main responsible persons of the spy departments of the other eight states to transfer each other, and as for the matter of Liangzhou, I want to see what kind of results Zhong Qing can give me! ”
