Chapter 364 The Western Liaoning Corridor

Gao Yue came to find it, Yang Ming thought it was not a big deal, what big deal can a woman's family have?

In fact, it is a big event.

At present, there are only seven people in Gao Yue's entourage who live in the Qin Palace, and there are forty-five people who live in Jinyang Tower.

Gao Yue came to Yang Ming to tell him that two months ago, she had three entourages who left Jingshi without saying goodbye.

Originally, Gao Yue didn't take it very seriously, thinking in her heart that everyone had their own ambitions, and many of her entourages were originally remnants of the old Qi, and she was no longer a princess, so there was no need for people to follow her to suffer.

As a result, just a few days ago, there were seven or eight more walks on the side of Jinyang Tower, and Gao Yue felt that something was wrong, so she went to Jinyang Tower and asked the people who stayed why these people left.

At first, no one told her, but later, under the guidance of Gao Yue's tricks, she was able to know the truth.

On the Goguryeo side, some people have been actively encircling the remnants of the old Qi since last year, and Gao Yue doesn't know what its purpose is, but she knows that it won't be a good thing.

Most of her entourage are Bohai people, and after leaving Beijing, most of them also return to Bohai, if they are used by Goguryeo, they are afraid that another disaster will come.

Gao Yue knew very well in his heart that the current Great Sui was already a thriving unified dynasty, and most of the Kwantung clans were already attached, and in this case, wanting to recover the Great Qi was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

She came to Yang Ming in the hope that Yang Ming could take action and find a way to eliminate this matter, because he was afraid that those who had the heart to return to the country would drag down more people.

As a Qi person, she doesn't want to see the beacon fire in Qi land again and the people suffer again.

Qi, already dead.

After Yang Ming listened, he called Su Lie in as soon as possible,

"You take someone to Jinyang Tower, and all of Gao Yue's entourage are optimistic, one can't get away, everyone is strictly interrogated, and those who are untrue will be killed!"

Gao Yue's face instantly lost color, and she hurriedly knelt down and cried:

"Please, Your Highness, let them go? They haven't left yet, but we know that they, like me, have their hearts toward the Great Sui and ask His Highness for mercy. ”

Yang Ming waved his hand, and Su Lie nodded and left.

"It's a big deal, I can't tolerate my kindness," Yang Ming got down from the couch and helped Gao Yue up:

"I am grateful that you can tell me about this, but you have to understand that if the remnants of the old Qi collude with Goguryeo and invade my Great Sui border, Hebei and Shandong will immediately be in chaos, Goguryeo is not my race, once you enter the country, it will be a situation of misery, you are a Bohai person, and you can bear to see this tragic situation?"

Bohai County, that is, the area of Cangzhou, Hebei, and Yang Wanshi's Hejian County, which is next to each other, and the current Bohai Taishou is Gao Shengdao, the eldest son of Gao Gong.

Gao Yue couldn't stop crying, the pear blossoms were raining, and he kept begging Yang Ming to let them go.

Yang Ming got up and frowned: "Don't worry, as long as they tell the truth, I won't move, and anyone who is sincere to the Great Sui will settle down." ”

Internal and external collusion, this is a big deal, but Yang Ming doesn't think that the remnants of the old Qi can make much waves.

During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, a group had already been killed, after the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, Qi was in turmoil, Yang Su killed another group, and after Yang Jun became the governor of the state, he also killed a group.

With such a stubble killing, leeks can't stand it.

What's more, if Goguryeo really wants to invade the territory, it must first fight Liaodong County (Shenyang), followed by Yan County (Liaoyang) and Liucheng County (Jinzhou), these three counties are on a line, forming the Liaoxi Corridor.

The West Liaoning Corridor is the passage connecting the Northeast and the Guannei, and Jinzhou is the throat of the entire West Liaoning Corridor, so in ancient history, the Central Plains Dynasty repeatedly used troops outside the Guan, and it was necessary to control the Jinzhou line.

However, the Great Sui was very inconvenient, because during the Sui Dynasty, the western Liaoxi corridor was silted out, and the mud swamp was all over and it was extremely difficult to pass.

This is a geographical factor, Liaoning is known as "six mountains, one water and three fields", but it is a water, all concentrated in the western Liaoning corridor.

Liaoshui, Xiaoliaoshui, Daliang Shui, White Wolf Water, True Water, Xuanshui, and Lushui are all here, so that this line is almost like a swamp.

During the Kaihuang period, Yang Liang fought Goguryeo, lost in this place, after the Central Plains army came here, the water and soil were not adapted, and it was the rainy season, and the epidemic in the army was epidemic, so it was defeated.

Liaodong Taishou is Deng Wei, Yanjun Taishou is Wei Yunqi, and Liucheng Taishou Yang Linfu.

Wei Yunqi is in Beijing right now, why don't you go to the place? Because this place in Yan County was moved from within the Su Mo and the Yan Ya people, the Han people who lived here, whether there were 1,000 or not, belonged to the Great Sui in name, but the Great Sui did not have much actual control.

A lower county, too shou cai six grades, and Wei Yunqi is now a hussar general, according to the tradition of the Great Sui, if you wear multiple positions, which rank is high, which one do you.

This corridor in western Liaoning, during the non-war period, was almost uninhabited.

But there have always been sentry guards here, specially used to keep an eye on Goguryeo, not to mention the end of the Liaoxi Corridor, there is also Linyu Pass, that is, Shanhaiguan, if you can't enter Linyu Pass, don't want to enter Zhuojun.

Yang Ming then asked Gao Yue if he knew about Gao Yingnian, and Gao Yue replied that he didn't know, but Yang Ming would not exclude this person from the ranks of the remnants of the old Qi.

Because it was too coincidental, last year Goguryeo began to contact the remnants of the old Qi, and this year there was a rebellion surnamed Gao, can you say that they did not collude?

In Jinyang Building, Gao Yue's remaining entourage, both men and women, are now all tied hand and foot and tortured.

Su Lie doesn't know much about torture, but in the royal palace, some people understand, Zhu Sanli is an expert.

Interrogation of this kind of thing is not something that can be done politely, first fight, must be beaten, when their fear overcomes everything, you will interrogate again, it will be much more convenient.

Of course, there are hard bones.

Therefore, Yang Ming's order at the beginning was not to kill him, but to choke him to death.

Knife by knife, not to mention that the person concerned can't stand it, you can't stand it from the side, and even the psychological quality of the torturer is not strong enough, even he can't stand it.

An entourage named Zhou Zheng, after being cut twice in the thigh, couldn't stand it anymore, but he really didn't know, so he confessed that one might know.

So that person was also set up, and Zhu Sanli personally took the knife and prepared to cut it.

As soon as the pants were taken off, the man was already and urinating, and he had done everything.

"Rinse it down, Your Highness will have to interrogate it personally, it is such a foul smell, it is not appropriate for Your Highness to be contaminated," Su Lie instructed the others to open the cleaning scene.

All confessions were recorded by Qiao Zhongkui's son Qiao Chun.

When Yang Ming came to the scene, he first read the transcript, there were four people in total.

The content is generally the same, they are all letters from their hometown in Hebei, asking them to go back to participate in the big event, what big thing? Rebellion.

Gao Lande, the only bloodline of the Gao family, has died, but now there is a person who claims to be the old Qi clan who has raised righteousness in Hebei, and these people are going back to seek refuge in each other.

As for the name of that Gao child, these people are not clear.

Yang Ming felt that maybe it was Gao Yingnian.

"Anything else, didn't you ask again?" Yang Ming asked.

Zhu Sanli stepped forward and said: "No, it should be the truth, these people can't stand the fright, three or two knives down, all of them are recruited." ”

Yang Ming nodded.

Su Lie leaned over and said, "Then what should we do with these people next?" They seem to be some marginal people, with limited knowledge, and several of them are from local families, should they be handed over to the Criminal Department? ”

Gao Yue's entourage is not an ordinary entourage, they all have a good background, rather than calling it an entourage, it is better to call it a staff member, after all, Gao Yue is the only orphan of the old Qi clan at the moment, and their purpose is not simple when they stay by Gao Yue's side.

For example, if you are a slave of King Qin, how can you understand the rhythm of music?

"This night, you guys pull everyone to the suburbs, find a place to solve it, remember, don't let people see it," Yang Ming was sure to stop talking, although he promised Gao Yue.

But it's a pity that Yang Ming's position does not mean that words count.

And he arranged it this way to protect Gao Yue, if he really wants to hand it over to the Criminal Department, Gao Yue will inevitably be implicated, if Dad knows, I'm afraid Gao Yue will not escape death.

So Yang Ming patted Zhu Sanli's shoulder and said, "What can be said, what can be said, what can't be said, no matter what, you can't say it, understand?" ”

Zhu Sanli knew what Yang Ming was hinting at, so he hurriedly nodded and said, "I understand." ”

After returning to the palace, Yang Ming went to find Gao Yue as soon as possible, and Yang Yinjiang was also here.

She knew that after Su Lie and the others left, she guessed that Gao Yue's matter was not simple, so she came over to ask, but Gao Yue still didn't tell her.

"Can't you really tell me?" Yang Yinjiang looked at her husband.

Yang Ming directly explained the matter and the discernment.

After listening to this, Yang Yinjiang instantly squinted and looked at Gao Yue with a cold expression.

She's already murderous.

In her opinion, once this matter is leaked out, I am afraid that it will affect her husband and harbor the old Qi thief, this kind of thing can be big or small.

It's not weighed, it's not two or two, it's weighed, and a thousand catties can't be beaten.

Gao Yue asked for the first time: "What about them?" How did you settle in? ”

Yang Ming said: "Jingshi can't stay anymore, I will send someone to send them to Longxi, find a distant place to live, and don't think about this kind of rebellion." ”

"You lied to me, you killed them, didn't you?" Gao Yue's face was bloodless.

Yang Ming said: "Believe it or not is your business." ”

Then, he looked at Yang Yinjiang: "Replace all the maids around her, aren't there seven people?" Send Hongnong to take care of them, and don't let them show up again. ”

Of course, Yang Yinjiang understood what her husband meant, don't show up, that is, bury it in the soil.

"Okay, I'll arrange for them to go to Hongnong later."

Gao Yue trembled, and collapsed directly on the ground, crying.

Yang Yinjiang gave her husband a look, meaning to ask what Gao Yue should do.

After Yang Ming pondered for a moment, he spoke: "She didn't bear me, I can't bear her, so let's be appeased." ”

Gao Yue was able to betray his own people and tell him this secret matter, Yang Ming was still very grateful.

Yang Yinjiang sighed inwardly and nodded.
