Chapter 227: I Shouldn't Know

Li Jiangyao's weakness is his teacher He Jingming.

He Jingming, a famous general of the Holy Tang Dynasty, the commander of the Fierce Blade Legion and the protector of the Zhenjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, was ambushed on the way from the imperial capital to Liangzhou, and unfortunately died, and the government and the opposition were shocked for a while.

However, because the rebellion in the western frontier broke out not long afterward, and the imperial capital was also in a state of extreme disbelief and tension due to the changes between the crown prince and the Xuanjia army, so for a long time later, except for Shen Lie of the Reverse Scale Division, no one else asked about the assassination of Commander He.

Although Shen Lie and Li Jiangyao both believed that Xie Guang had done this, they could not restore the truth without solid evidence in their hands. Why did the teacher die, and whose hands did he die, Li Jiangyao wanted to know very much.

Only by figuring out all this can he take revenge on He Jingming.

Thanley secretly screamed in his heart for luck.

Thanks to the fact that before he went to Metasequoia City to negotiate, he had done enough work in advance, investigated Li Jiangyao's background information in detail, and knew that He Jingming and Li Jiangyao had the status of master and apprentice. Moreover, this second Turkic prince is in charge of intelligence and diplomacy, so he does have a lot of unknown information, and risking his life today really plays a key role.

Li Jiangyao will never give up the inside clues of He Jingming's case, so he will definitely not refuse Tanley's conditions.

However, before Li Jiangyao could speak, Zhou Xing, who was standing beside him, suddenly said with compassion: "My lord, Prince Tanli has a noble status, and the news he knows is obviously more than these three things. It is suggested that it is better to invite him back, so that our brothers can serve him well, and His Highness will surely provide more secrets when the time comes. ”

After hearing this, a sneer appeared on Tanley's face, as if he was playing a trick, and took out a white pill from his waist. He pinched it with two fingers, shook it in front of everyone, and then said quickly: "This thing is a poison sac refined by Shu Xuan, the first pharmacist of the Turks, as long as you bite it, you will die immediately!" ”

As he spoke, he gently put the poison sac into his mouth and muttered indistinctly: "If you still have to work hard and use means against me, it will be a big deal that the two sides will collapse, and we will break up!" ”

Zhou Xing and the others didn't expect the other party to have such a hand, and now it's too late to stop it, so they can't help but freeze on the spot, not knowing what to do.

Li Jiangyao smiled and waved his hand: "I said Your Highness, why are you fighting so hard?" This brother of mine was joking, don't take it seriously. Hey, be careful, don't kill yourself. ”

"Why don't I want to live well?" Tanley deliberately slowed down the speed of his speech, for fear of accidentally biting the poison sac: "This unlucky, of course, the farther away the better." At the beginning, my father Khan ordered Ge Shuxuan to make it and then give it to me, mainly because he was worried that I knew too many things, and once I fell into the hands of the enemy, I would inevitably be made worse than death, it was better to be happy and suffer less! Right now, you are obviously insatiable, and I have no choice but to make a decision on my own. ”

Li Jiangyao said solemnly: "Your Highness, I promise you, as long as you honestly tell those three pieces of information, I can use my personality to guarantee that I will never hurt you in the slightest, and after I finish speaking, I will let you leave immediately." ”

"Okay, since the eldest brother of the baron can say so, I am absolutely relieved of the little brother." Tanley slowed down slightly, carefully swallowed the saliva in his mouth, and asked, "Am I telling you alone?" Or is it just here in front of so many people? ”

"Just tell me directly, they are all brothers who were born and died with me, and there is nothing to hide." Li Jiangyao replied briskly: "Besides, the authenticity of the information and inside information you said has yet to be verified, and it is only in my ears, and it will not be easy to explain clearly in the future." ”

Tanley nodded: "That's okay, little brother will make a long story short." Regarding Lao Jianhua, I think you have all conducted in-depth investigations, and I don't need to use those well-known things to show off. Let's just talk about the key point, the person Lao Jianhua is really loyal to is not Xie Guang, and certainly not the crown prince Li Bing, let alone our Turkic Khanate. His master has someone else, and he is the orthodox bloodline of your Holy Tang Imperial Family. ”

Royal family? Orthodox blood?!

Tamley's information really surprised everyone present. In people's impressions, Lao Jianhua, the traitor of the Reverse Scale Division, has been colluding and plotting everywhere for many years, fanning the flames, and he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, but what he secretly assists is also the Holy Tang Imperial Family.

So who is it? Huaiyang King Li Kui?

It shouldn't be. When the prince was attacked before, Lao Jianhua's various performances were obviously using each other with Li Jiong.

But apart from the emperor, the crown prince and the king of Huaiyang, everyone really can't guess which royal family in the court can make Lao Jianhua die-hard for his loyalty.

Zhou Xing couldn't help but ask, "Who is the royal family you are talking about?" ”

Tanley pouted, "I don't know about this question." However, now that you know this clue, it should not be difficult to figure it out if you continue to follow the investigation. ”

Li Jiangyao knew that Tan Li probably knew who Lao Jianhua's true master was, but he could never reveal it easily, so he bowed his head slightly and said: "As you said, it is already very meaningful for us to know who he is loyal to." This clue of His Highness, we will pay special attention to it later. So, what's next? The second intelligence? ”

"As for the second piece of information, that's a bit complicated." Tanley asked slowly, "Do you all know about the rebellion of King Jin more than twenty years ago?" ”

An agent of the Reverse Scale Division sneered: "Even you Turks know, will we not know?" ”

Because of the poison sac in his mouth, Tanley really didn't dare to have too many facial expressions, so he replied with a smile: "That's good." But do you know why King Jin rebelled in the first place? ”

This matter involves the struggle for imperial power, and the Reverse Scale Division is naturally inconvenient to answer easily due to the problem of position, and everyone looks at Stanley quietly, waiting for him to give an answer.

Tanli also understood everyone's embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, little brother, I have reliable news, one of the important reasons for the rebellion of King Jin was that he had an affair with Empress Huilin of the first emperor, and when the adultery was about to be revealed, he had no choice but to join forces with his uncle and raise troops to rebel." As for the crown prince Li Bingma, it is very likely that it is not the blood of the first emperor, but the biological son of King Jin. ”

"Fart!" "Bold!" "Tell me what you want, Lao Tzu killed you!" "What are you talking nonsense about him? Chop it directly! ”

The people of the Reverse Scale Division were furious, and they wanted to kill the thief who insulted the Holy Tang royal family on the spot.

Stanley was not flustered, he waved his hand at the angry crowd: "I guess it will be difficult for you to accept this statement as well. However, there may be evidence to back up my words. ”

"Oh? Where is the evidence? Li Jiangyao asked with a solemn expression.

"Well, it's quite ironic to say," Tan Li said with a wry smile: "This evidence against the sky has always been stored in the archives of the Northern Ya Reverse Scale Division. If I'm not mistaken, it's in the secret file of the Longknife Legion. If it's convenient for you, just check it, and you'll get a reward. However, you have to move quickly, and you have to do it before the Turks capture the imperial capital. ”

Hearing this, Li Jiangyao subconsciously looked at Zhou Xing and the others, and Zhou Xing and his colleagues were at a loss, completely unaware that there would be such a bizarre record in the Reverse Scale Division.

Of course, the secret files involving the main army of the Holy Tang Dynasty are only accessible to the head of the Reverse Scale Division, and it is normal for others not to know about it.

The only embarrassment at the moment is that Franky's words are conclusive, and he can also point out where the evidence is placed, which is by no means like nonsense made out of nothing. But if it is really as he said, this information is directly related to the scandal of the imperial family, and it may also affect the legitimacy of Li Bing's position as the crown prince, it is tantamount to stuffing a large pot of coals into the arms of everyone present, and it will lead to the disaster of burning himself at every turn.

At this point, Zhou Xing and the others couldn't help but regret it. If I knew it was so troublesome, I shouldn't have been stupid and poked in place just now, listening to Tanley talk about these terrible news.

Of course, they are not afraid of death, but they are worried that if the Reverse Scale Division really holds the secret about the identity of the crown prince, how to explain it to the emperor, the court and the people of the world in the future.

Like Zhou Xing and others, Li Jiangyao's mood is also a little complicated.

He now finally realizes the admonition of his teacher He Jingming: don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, don't look at what you shouldn't see, and don't know what you shouldn't know.

Objectively speaking, whether it is Li Jiangyao, who was born as a scout, or Tanli, who served as a secret envoy, or these secret agents of the Reverse Scale Division, everyone can be regarded as engaged in intelligence, and naturally they will be very interested in all kinds of news secrets.

However, not all information is suitable for you to know.

Some things are not treasures, but they are burdens, faults, and sins.

It is precisely because of this that such a method as the "discord meter" has repeatedly appeared in the long course of history.

Take the shocking secret exposed by Tanli as an example, when Shen Lie told the emperor Li Chengwu and the crown prince Liu Ce about the beginning and end of Lao Jianhua's rebellion in the Liangyi Hall of the imperial capital, he didn't dare to talk too much about the relationship between King Jin and Empress Huilin, so that it involved the mystery of the identity of the prince who was "inexplicable", and what he considered was the interests of the so-called "intelligence".

If you are not careful, you will never recover.

This secret information held in his heart has always been like a thousand pounds of boulder, weighing Shen Lie out of breath.

And today, in order to save his life, Prince Tanli actually used it as a bargaining chip to say it directly to everyone, which was also like a boulder, weighing heavily on the hearts of Li Jiangyao and Zhou Xing.

Once the seed of the prince is planted, sooner or later, it will grow into a towering tree in his heart, changing everyone's fate and changing the fate of Shengtang.

Li Jiangyao's silent gaze swept over the subordinates with uncertain expressions, and then turned to Tan Li and said, "Okay, we will also verify the information you said." Now, it's time to talk about Commander Ho. ”

Unexpectedly, Tanley shook his head: "Brother Baron, I can't say anything about He Jingming now." Please leave all the weapons on your body and send me back to the gate of the Xuanjia Army camp alone. There, I'll make it clear. Little brother, I have my own difficulties and concerns, and I hope you can understand. ”

Li Jiangyao raised his hand, stopped Zhou Xing and the others who were about to oppose, and said, "It's understandable." Please mount your highness, and we will go back at once. ”
