In the southeast of the state city, in a small remote courtyard, under the moonlight, it seems extraordinarily quiet.

Yang Jin glanced at the subordinates who were still firmly controlled outside the door, turned around, and said to Li Xuan: "Lord Wang, this is a small courtyard that the little man bought with a private house a few years ago, and it also uses the name of the servant in the family, so no one knows even in the state office. ”

"Let's talk about your stealing and selling of grain from the state treasury." Li Xuan stood in the courtyard, the oblique shadow was elongated, in the light and dark, I don't know how many people were staring at them.

Yang Jin smiled bitterly, and then said: "This matter originated three years ago, when the impact of the First World War of Dafeichuan gradually disappeared, and the DPRK and China increased more troops in the four states of Anxi, and the front line of Lanzhou and Shanzhou was a little uncared for. ”

Li Xuan nodded lightly, Zhang Yungong directly arranged for his wife and brother to serve as the captain of the city gate, it seemed that he was here to let his wife and brother have a fat difference, but in fact, it was a different calculation.

This person's mind is too heavy.

Just the year before last, Chen Xia introduced a horse dealer Ma Zhi to come, Ma Zhi smuggled good horses from Tubo to Datang, in order to get through the relationship of Taozhou, he spent a lot of money to buy off various families, and each family later used the relationship to help him send horses to Datang for resale, and each family also had a lot of income in the account.

Last year, Ma Zhi began to buy grain, the price was extremely attractive, and last year was not a disaster year, Chen Xia privately sold a lot of grain and grass to Ma Zhi, and made a lot of money.

All the grain that could be bought was sold, but then there was really no way to find a way out, so the idea was sent to the county treasury, and later to the state treasury. ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then said with emotion: "This is a means of boiling toads in warm water, and it lures you deeper step by step." ”

Yang Jin lowered his head and said: "It wasn't until not long ago, when the people from Yushitai and Dali Temple, as well as the military department, came down to investigate, and we were shocked by the conspiracy, so everyone discussed making up for it privately...... The Li family is a big family, no matter how much food they can take out, the relationship between the Zhang family and the Li family in Lintao has always been friendly, with the help of the Li family, they have also made up for the shortage of the treasury, only the Yang family, the family is big, and there is no income, so they can only sit and eat empty, so now they can't make up for it at all, fortunately, the Chen family agreed to help, but I didn't expect that Zhang Yuanjun changed his mind. ”

Li Xuan looked at Yang Jin, couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Maybe at the beginning, the marriage contract between the two of you was true, but since Zhang Yuanjun served as the assassin of Taozhou, the relationship between the two of you has undergone earth-shaking changes, and since then, your Yang family has been used, and food is only one of them, the eldest man of your brother's family......"

"How's Da Lang?" Yang Jin was shocked, Da Lang is the future of the Yang family.

Li Xuan snorted lightly, and then said, "Then do you know where all the grain you sold to Ma Zhi went?" ”

"Where?" Yang Jin had a blank look on his face.

"Okay, don't pretend." Li Xuan waved his hand a little impatiently, and said: "His horses came from Tubo, and his grain and grass were naturally sold to Tubo, even if you can't find evidence for this kind of thing, you should be able to guess it, don't tell me, you haven't moved to swallow them in one bite." ”

The blankness on Yang Jin's face disappeared without a trace, and in the face of Li Xuan, he said with a dejected face: "The prince has seen thousands of miles, the Yang family has indeed investigated the details of Ma Zhi, after he bought grain from Taozhou, he did sell it to Tubo, since the autumn harvest last year, when he collected more and more grain, we noticed that something was wrong, but ......"

"But he's giving too much, isn't he?" Li Xuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, then sneered and said, "When did you stop selling to him?" ”

Li Xuan's words were very soft, but his left hand had already fallen.

Yang Jin didn't seem to notice this, and said with a wry smile: "It was after this year's court meeting, the prince said in the court that the king of Tubo was seriously ill, and the rumors of the court war suddenly became louder, and all the families began to search for Ma Zhi, but unfortunately, they were not able to catch him in the end." ”

"You arrested him, did the state government issue an official document, and what kind of crime did you use?" Li Xuan's face instantly turned cold.

"Nope!" Yang Jin's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said: "Originally, the people of the Zhang family suggested that they use a reason to hurt people, but Chen Xia thought that what we were doing was unsightly, and it was better to directly arrest people and kill them, so he didn't use the relationship of the government." ”

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Then do you know that Ma Zhi has been in the state city now?" ”

"Yes." Yang Jin shook his head helplessly, and said: "Although Xia Guan is a Taozhou Ku Cao joined the army, but except for some Cao Ding, there is no other manpower at all, and the arrest is the responsibility of the Li family and the Chen family, although they all know that he is hiding in the state city, but he has not been able to catch him." ”

"The king knows." Li Xuan's expression suddenly became indifferent, and then he said, "Then do you know about your nephew?" ”

"What?"

"Just a few days ago, your nephew, without an order, let all the defenders of Shangxia Gate move to the east side of the Tao River, where it was empty for an hour."

"An hour empty?" Yang Jin's eyes widened in disbelief, and then he hurriedly asked, "What did he do, it was a whole hour?" ”

"The vicinity of the checkpoint was cleaned up later, but in the south of the mountain, a large number of horseshoe prints were found, roughly numbering thousands, now that the war is imminent, you should be able to think that these thousands of horses are naturally not wild horses smuggled by Ma Zhi to Datang for sale." Li Xuan's fluttering words directly made Yang Jin like five thunders.

"Has the Tibetan cavalry already killed Taozhou?" Yang Jin's face was extremely terrifying, unbelievable, and extremely panicked.

Li Xuan said lightly: "Don't you know about this? ”

"Poof", Yang Jin knelt down directly, and whispered to Li Xuan: "Lord Wang, this matter really has nothing to do with the Yang family, the lower officials have never known what the Tubo cavalry is, the lower officials only occasionally reverse the grain in the treasury to supplement the family, and among the families, the Yang family has done the least, the prince ......"

"Then what do you say about your nephew, what do you say about Yang Xuan privately transferring troops to help the Tubo cavalry enter Taozhou?" Li Xuan's cold gaze suddenly pressed on Yang Jin's heart like a mountain of knives.

Yang Jin's heart instantly cooled, it was indeed a big crime for him to steal the grain from the treasury, but Yang Xuan transferred troops privately, which was a capital crime of rebellion.

"Your Majesty, Yang Xuan is loyal and honest, and he will never have to transfer troops privately, and his subordinates dare to use their lives as a guarantee." Yang Jin's mind suddenly became transparent, knelt on the ground, and said quickly: "If Yang Xuan is really related to Tubo, then at this time, he should have returned to Taozhou to assist the Tubo army." ”

"If it's not him, then who is it?"

"It's Xun Zhou, he's Bing Cao joining the army, no...... It's not Xun Zhou, it's not him, he's loyal and upright, he can't do this kind of thing, and there's another, it's Sima Weiping, Wei Ping is Chang'an Wei's ......" Yang Jin said two people at once, but they were quickly rejected by himself, and suddenly, Yang Jin's face became the same ugly.

"Looks like you've thought of it too." Li Xuan sighed lightly and said, "Thinking of tonight's events, you should understand, right?" ”

Yang Jin's face was full of bitterness, and then he had to kneel on the ground, and then said with pain: "It's Lord Thorn Shi." ”

"Although this king did not investigate, he also wants to know that it is absolutely impossible for any official documents to be left in this matter." Li Xuan chuckled lightly and said: "Besides, who would have thought that the assassin of Yizhou would defect to Tibet for no reason during the war, who would believe this matter, that is, in Chang'an, this king said this sentence, and I don't know how many people will refute it, and even lead to the impeachment of the assassin." ”

Yang Jin hurriedly said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the envoy must not have the heart to take refuge in Tubo, he is just ......"

"Just what?" Li Xuan asked coldly.

"He may have a plan in mind." Yang Jin lowered his head and clenched his fists, he didn't believe what he said.

"Calculation, at the expense of the King of England and the King, as well as hundreds of thousands of people in Taozhou?" Li Xuan's voice was very soft, light and even a little cold: "Or is he calculating with half of the Li clan in Longxi, as well as the ancestral tomb of the entire Li clan in Longxi?" ”

"Bang!" Yang Jin suddenly kowtowed heavily to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Some of the servants of the Yang family outside couldn't help but be a little restless when they heard this voice.

Because this sound is too much like the sound of a human head falling to the ground.

But then, the sound of dialogue in the courtyard sounded again.

Li Xuan looked down, looked at Yang Jin, and said softly: "Even in the end, the king is fine, His Royal Highness the King is fine, and even the ancestral shrine of the Li family is fine, so what about your Yang family, resell the grain in the warehouse, sell it to the enemy country, and finally assist the enemy army to bury the traces, and open the city gate......"

Li Xuan said word by word, and with every word she said, Yang Jin's face turned pale, and in the end, it was even more miserable.

"It's very unlucky, your Yang family was slaughtered in the war, and it will only be left by the world, and it deserves it." Li Xuan kicked Yang Jin's shoulder and said softly: "You said, if you and this king have not met tonight, will the final fate of your Yang family land be like this?" ”

Yang Jin's body was crooked, and he fell directly to the ground, the cold ground, and his painful eyes, and when he saw Li Xuan again, he quickly turned over and knelt up again: "Lord Wang, although my Yang family has a small history, I am loyal to the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Reselling grain from the treasury, selling it to enemy countries, and assisting the enemy army to bury their tracks, which one has wronged you?" Li Xuan kicked Yang Jin over with a fierce kick.

Yang Jin didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly turned over and knelt up again, and pleaded urgently: "It's Zhang Yungong, it's him, everything is his calculation, and, ...... Tonight, his daughter deliberately toasted His Royal Highness, just to stimulate my Yang family, no, no, Xuan'er, and Xuan'er, Xuan'er and the seven mothers of the Zhang family have a marriage contract, this matter must have been secretly sent to him by the seven families of the Zhang family, so Xuan'er will believe that it is the secret order of the assassin history...... Oh my God, he just wants to let my Yang family be destroyed! ”

"You're not stupid, at least you've figured it out." Li Xuan snorted coldly, looked at Yang Jin, who was trembling with his hands and feet, and said in a cold voice: "Listen, tonight, if the Tubo people don't knock on the city, then tomorrow, you will call his nephew back to the state city alone, remember, don't be discovered by Zhang Yuanjun's people." Your eldest man, as well as your side, I don't know how many intersections have been planted by him, and if there is a slight mistake or omission, your family will be beheaded. ”

"The prince wants to see Dalang?" Yang Jin's face suddenly bloomed with infinite joy, only the king of Nanchang had other ideas, and his Yang family would be saved.

"Humph!" Li Xuan snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and said, "Tomorrow, only your uncle and nephew will come, if there is one more person......"

"The minister will obey." Yang Jin didn't dare to make a mistake at all.

"There is also the resold state treasury grain, and your Yang family will make up for it by themselves."

"Whoa!"

Li Xuan took a deep breath and said seriously: "In this matter, this king will not help your Yang family make up for it, but he will truthfully show Your Majesty, how many people can survive in the end of your Yang family, it depends on how many Tubo people can be killed this time, and the merit will be reversed?" ”

"Lord Wang, don't worry, my Yang family will definitely do their best to help Lord Wang." Yang Jin did not hesitate at all.

Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, go ahead, tonight is over for the time being." ”
