In the cell, Chen Xia stood on the dry grass, his breathing was already extremely heavy.

Now, he doesn't know where he is, everything is completely out of control.

But fortunately, he was not decapitated.

Looking at Li Xuan, who was standing in front of him, wearing a gold silk robe on a black background, with a slender figure and a cold face, listening to his cold and stern question, the smugness in Chen Xia's eyes flashed, he still had hole cards.

"The prince is mistaken, Chen has never thought about doing anything big, and the Chen family doesn't have any big arrangements, it's just that they just want to take advantage of the big war to hoard a little grain and grass, and then make some money."

Chen Xia moved his body slightly, the shackles on his hands made him very uncomfortable, and with this move, the shackles immediately appeared in Li Xuan's eyes.

"You don't want to say?" Li Xuan looked at Chen Xia with some surprise, all of them were now, Chen Xia was still stiff-mouthed, still thinking about bargaining.

"It's not that Xia Guan doesn't want to say it, it's that Xia Guan really has nothing to say." Chen Xia's expression faded, but his heart had completely firmed up, and now in the northwest, although they were all preparing for war in an orderly manner, the undercurrent under the surface of the water was still strong.

The king of Nanchang wanted to ask him from his mouth, but it was not so easy, and he didn't pay anything......

At this time, Li Xuan nodded calmly and said, "Since you don't want to say it, then ...... Come! ”

"Lord Wang!" Two Qianniu guards suddenly appeared at the gate of the prison, Li Xuan waved his hand, and said calmly: "Send yourself to the east gate, and behead immediately." ”

"Whoa!" The two Qianniu guards immediately stepped forward, grabbed Chen Xia's arm with both hands and dragged him out.

Chen Xia was dragged to the prison door, at this time, he finally reacted, dancing with his hands, and shouted loudly and panickedly: "Lord Wang, the lower official is not guilty, the lower official is not guilty, the lower official is not guilty, the lower official has ......"

With a "bang", a palm had already slapped the back of Chen Xia's head.

Chen Xia immediately fainted, and then was taken out of the cell by Qian Niuwei.

In the entire cell, this time, only Li Xuan was left, and Zhang Qiniang, who had completely fainted in the next cell.

Li Xuan walked out of Chen Xia's cell and walked to the door of another cell in three or two steps.

Looking at Zhang Qiniang, who was lying on her side, her eyes closed, wearing a soapy prison suit, but her expression was still beautiful, Li Xuan said lightly: "Okay, don't pretend, this king knows that you haven't fainted, if you don't get up, this king will behead you and your maternal uncle together in a daze." ”

"It seems inappropriate for the prince to kill people so casually." Zhang Qiniang's voice was a little hoarse, and she originally heard it like a yellow bird, but the voice that was deliberately pinched out was completely gone, and only the tension of sound friction remained.

The next moment, Zhang Qiniang had already lowered her body and did not move, her waist swung up, and the whole person sat up directly.

Between the movements, the body forms an extremely exaggerated arc, which is extremely charming.

Li Xuan looked at this scene with a cold face, and said coldly: "The murderer has never been this king, but Qianniuwei; Qianniuwei has the right to detect the rebels and eliminate the thieves, so if they do it, you will only die. ”

"But Qi Niang is not a traitor, how can she be unjustly killed without trial." Zhang Qiniang finally stopped playing tricks and stood up directly, looking at Li Xuan with resentment on her face.

"If you are still the daughter of a state assassin, then you will naturally be more cautious about attacking you, but now, you are no more."

Li Xuan stood motionless at the door of the prison, looked at Zhang Qiniang coldly, and said: "Your father was beheaded for a crime, do you think, the Dunhuang Zhang family, will the name of your family be cleared from the family tree because of this, without the Dunhuang Zhang family behind you, you are just an ordinary sinner, and even ordinary people can't compare, if you are wronged, you will be wronged, and if you die, you will die." ”

Li Xuan's words, Zhang Qiniang was immediately stunned, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

Because Li Xuan is right, the Zhang family in Dunhuang will definitely do that.

If Zhang Yungong is still alive, then the Zhang family will definitely do their best to protect him, but now that he is dead, the Zhang family will immediately give up on him decisively and completely.

It will even cut off all the threads that may implicate the Zhang family.

Among them, including her Zhang Qiniang.

"Moreover, don't worry, you will never get the opportunity for a fair trial, because you know too much, and there are too many things that cannot be talked about in court, so you only need to behead and hand over the head, and Dali Temple can be recorded." Li Xuan looked Zhang Qiniang up and down, a little disdainful, and said with some sigh: "It's a pity that this pretty face is a pity." ”

"You still don't want to kill me." Zhang Qiniang keenly grasped the meaning of Li Xuan's words.

Li Xuan nodded lightly and said, "Yes, this king really doesn't want to kill you so much, but unfortunately, if you don't want to say anything, you have no value." ”

"Could it be that I didn't tell because you didn't ask?" The corners of Zhang Qiniang's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Li Xuan's face was surprised, and he subconsciously said, "Didn't this king ask?" ”

Seeing Li Xuan's pretended surprised look, Zhang Qiniang was a little speechless.

The surprise on Li Xuan's face disappeared instantly, and he said calmly: "Very good, you have the last glimmer of life now, you have to understand, what you said is a little wrong......

Li Xuan's gaze had already fallen on Zhang Qiniang's white neck, her gaze was very light, not too hard, but Zhang Qiniang could clearly feel that even a light gaze was enough to tear her throat.

"Lord Wang, excuse me." Zhang Qiniang sat on the ground, looked up at Li Xuan, and bowed slightly again.

"This king wants to know, in the entire Taozhou and Hezhou, how many people are secretly communicating with Tibet?" Li Xuan asked the most critical point in one sentence.

Zhang Qiniang hesitated slightly, and then said: "There is one thing, the prince needs to understand, in the entire northwest, there are three kinds of people secretly communicated with the Tubo people?" ”

"Which three?"

"First, it is a dark line that the Tibetans planted, bought, and thoroughly mastered; second, it is a broker who only sells news to make money, but is not controlled by the Tibetans; Third, it is those old families in Longxi, they reveal true or false news to Tubo from time to time, either to attack opponents, or for their own merits, in the end, the Tubo people are just chess pieces they use to use, and they don't look down on the Tubo people very much. Zhang Qiniang's words were simple, but very organized.

Li Xuan glanced at her in surprise and said softly: "It turns out that Taozhou and the Tubo people have always been in contact with you!" ”

The breathing in the entire cell suddenly suffocated, and Zhang Qiniang wanted to open her mouth to defend something, but she had already said everything in what she had just said.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "You continue, those are too empty just now, this king needs to be more practical, who is the person in charge of the secret work in Tibet, where are they usually active, how many eyeliners does he have in the two states of Taohe, open piles, hidden piles, dead piles, who are they, and also, in my court, the identity of those brokers, and those families who use the Tubo people, what kind of benefits did they get from secretly communicating with Tibet, and how did they get it?" ”

Zhang Qiniang's face turned pale, and she looked at Li Xuan in disbelief: "You actually want to catch the evidence that those people are fornicating with Tibet!" ”

"The more you say, the more opportunities you have to spend the rest of your life as an ordinary person in the future."

"Ordinary people?" Zhang Qiniang's face was full of bitterness, and she looked at Li Xuan and said, "Does the prince think that a person like me will have a chance to be an ordinary person in the future?" ”

Li Xuan looked at Zhang Qiniang deeply, her skin was fair, her skin and flesh were delicate, she was used to enjoying glory and wealth, how could such a woman be an ordinary person.

Li Xuan nodded slowly and said, "It depends on how much you can do, if you can help this king to eliminate all these people, this king doesn't mind letting you join the secret guard ......."

"I don't want to join the secret guard ......" Zhang Qiniang suddenly interrupted Li Xuan, and then stared at Li Xuan and said, "I want to be your person...... I mean, I'm going to serve under you. ”

Li Xuan's breathing suddenly became lighter, and then he spoke: "Those people in this palace, they seem to have some abilities, but they are all trained by the commander of the secret guard, and now they are okay, they are not watched, even if they will inevitably be seen by others, they will eventually join the secret guards, and in the end they will take the same path as you." ”

"It's different, at least there's someone behind me." Zhang Qiniang's expression was extremely determined.

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, and then said: "You can say it first, be honest, it is very important here in this king." ”

Zhang Qiniang lowered her head, thought for a while, and said: "Tubo's secret spy commander in Taozhou and Hezhou, called Hu Rile, he is one of the three most trusted secret spy commanders in the entire Qinghai Plateau, he stays in Qingnan Tongren all the year round, peeping at Diezhou, Kuozhou, Hezhou and Taozhou, I don't know the dead piles under him, I know three dark piles, as for the bright piles, those chess pieces that can be sacrificed at any time are useless. ”

After a slight pause, Zhang Qiniang continued: "As for the news brokers, in Taozhou, there is one, the activity is in Lintan, there are two in Hezhou, one is a horse gang, one is a water gang, there is no in Diezhou and Kuozhou, those two places, go a lot, and die quickly." ”

"Go on."

"Finally, there is the old family in Longxi, sometimes they use the Tubo people to do bad things to them, and sometimes, they spread false news to the Tubo people, and then harvest the heads of the Tubo people, everyone is gambling, betting that the other party's news is useful." Zhang Qiniang smiled coldly and said: "Those families are very careful, they never come forward themselves, they all pass the news to the Tubo people through the brokers in Taozhou and Hezhou, anyway, the Tubo people are annoyed, and at most they will kill some brokers." ”

"Let's talk about things." Li Xuan's expression was indifferent, and he said calmly: "It takes those things that cause serious damage to military defense, these things, to kill people." ”

The family harms the family, and the court is happy to have fun; The family harmed the people, guilty but not serious; The family will harm the military, and it will cause public anger.

Zhang Qiniang's face was solemn, and finally said solemnly: "In the Taohe area, the old family in Longxi, there are only two who really speak, one is the Hou Mo Chen family, their family has a thorn history in the last year died of illness, although no one has made up for it, but the power is still there, the other is the Yuan family with the Chen family has a good relationship, Hezhou Thorn Shi Yuanming, in the past hundred years, the Northern Wei, the Northern Zhou, Sui, Tang, and the Yuan family have six people who have served as many Hezhou Thorn History, in Hezhou, the Yuan family is quite deep. ”

"This king knows this, but if the Yuan family can gain a foothold in Hezhou, it is said that because they do not do things out of line, the overall situation is not confused, they support the imperial court's westward expedition, and they are even quite meritorious, and the center is still trustworthy......"

"But has the imperial court taken the plateau?" Zhang Qiniang showed a disdainful sneer on her face, and then said: "The Yuan family, although it is not said to be a grass on the wall, but there is no doubt that they take their own interests first, and the imperial court has the advantage, so they use the power of the imperial court to secretly seize more interests. ”

This is the Maison.

"Evidence." Li Xuan looked at Zhang Qiniang directly, the Yuan family is deeply rooted in Hezhou, and it is difficult to move them, especially when the army is at war now, it is even easier to cause turmoil, so we must be cautious.

Zhang Qiniang showed a smug smile on her face, and her cherry lips spit lightly: "Yes!" ”
