At the same time, Zhang Jia was not idle in the palace! He took advantage of this time that the palace people returned to their hometowns to hype up the matter, telling the palace people that in the future, your life, old age, sickness and death will be taken over by the royal family, so the news of betraying the royal family is betraying the master!

And Zhang Jia also let out the wind, in the past, everyone could not ask about the news for the sake of pension. But if someone is found to be passing the news outside the palace, it will not be just a dead end if they are caught! You want to punish your family! He asked those who were spies to stop selling news, as long as you were quiet and honest, no one would be held accountable. And if the family is threatened, the inner court can also send someone to protect them!

After Zhang Jia did this, the minds of many palace people who passed the news to the outside world floated! Some people used to sell news just for money, but now the risk has increased, and it is not worth it to sell their lives for a little money, so they simply settle down.

Some people who had a handle and were pinched by others turned their hearts sideways and quietly went to the torture room to explain the matter clearly. Among them, there are some eunuchs and palace maids who hold key positions! Although they were transferred out after the explanation, their minds settled down, and they felt that life was much better!

So when Emperor Wanli saw this list, his face changed! Where is this palace isolated from China and abroad, I obviously live in a sieve, but I don't know it! That's why he resents even more those who plant spies.

But fortunately, he also knew that this thief could not be caught, and there must be more loyal spies hiding in the shadows. So he could only let the Zhang family do this slowly, and at the same time pass the news to Liu Haojia to see what results he could get there.

But it didn't take long for Emperor Wanli to feel the benefits of going together! After a large number of spies confessed or were caught, the first ones who couldn't hold their breath were those noble families!

They pleaded guilty to Emperor Wanli and Empress Dowager Li, saying that they had no other ideas for the purpose of planting spies, but just wanted to get more favor! There is a smart person who directly handed over the list of spies who had planted him, which saved Zhang Jia a lot of effort.

Although Emperor Wanli was angry at what they had done, he could only greet them with a smile at this time and promised not to pursue them. took the opportunity to expand the martial arts hall to recruit a group of students in order to appease these nobles. After this toss, the distance between the two sides has actually narrowed a little!

After getting the benefits, Emperor Wanli confidently waited for the civil official group to send someone, but what he didn't expect was that there was not even a bubbling one in the civil official group, which made him angry!

The civil official group is different from Xungui, the number of spies placed by Xungui in the palace is relatively small, and they are all planted by one family name, and it is very simple to say that he wants to withdraw, as long as the head of the family makes a decision.

The civil official group is different, they are arranged by many people after sitting together and discussing, whether it is to install people or withdraw people, it needs to go through too many people's consultation, and the speed is not fast at all! In addition, these civil officials have been in power for a long time and are very arrogant, and they don't feel that Emperor Wanli has a way to solve all the spies, so they move even more slowly.

It didn't matter if they were slow to react, not only offended Emperor Wanli, but also made him hate them completely. You also caused huge psychological pressure on the spies in the palace!

They had already seen that many of their companions had gone to the torture chamber to confess, and they had come back easily! Some people were even taken out directly by the Xungui family, or simply gave a sum of silver to buy out their identity, and they could live a happy life in the future. This makes them feel very uncomfortable!

Not only that, but when they asked for support from those behind them, they were reprimanded, which made them even more frightened! Therefore, there have been many spies arranged by the civilian clique to quietly explain everything! Therefore, the intelligence network that the civilian clique has spent dozens or hundreds of years laying out is rapidly falling apart!

The most terrifying thing is that his future has been settled, and these palace people are full of gratitude to Emperor Wanli! They even began to spontaneously monitor the people around them, which made it more and more difficult for the spies hiding among them to hide! After all, as a spy, if you have news, you have to send it out, which is very easy to expose!

Especially with the close cooperation with the old Zhu family, both inside and outside the palace quickly eliminated a large part of the spies and locked a lot of people! This made Liu Haojia keenly aware of the existence of a third force!

Liu Haojia carefully investigated the names he got at the beginning, and soon found that several wealthy businessmen outside the palace were in charge of contacting them. And according to the confession of the palace people, Liu Haojia guessed that there were several stewards and eunuchs and palace maids who were their leaders! In this way, there are more than 100 people placed in the palace by this third party!

After Liu Haojia deduced this fact, he was also in a cold sweat! Because the nobles and the civil official clique have interests in the emperor, they will not do anything else. But this group of mysterious brothers and tripartites didn't know the purpose at all, so he had to use it by heart!

So I originally planned to spend half a year to find out the details of these people, but now I can't wait! He secretly informed Zhang Jia and asked him to arrest and torture people in advance. The target was chosen as a eunuch in charge of procurement. At the same time, he also selected a wealthy merchant outside the palace and prepared to torture him!

Zhang Jiazai is relatively simple in the palace, as long as he mixes a batch of products into the things he buys, he can pick his thorns, beat him down with a board, and then quietly arrest him into the torture room. After all, this kind of thing is too common in the palace.

As for the target outside the palace, you have to deal with it carefully! This wealthy businessman's name is Jin Sihai, a native of Zhejiang, specializing in the silk business. The silk and satin he deals in are all of the highest quality, and he is very popular with the nobles in Beijing, so he travels very widely! If you really leak the news, it will cause a lot of trouble! So Liu Haojia had to find another way!

That night in Liu Haojia's house, he picked ten good skills among the family members and carefully explained today's plan. For this reason, he also released the beggars in advance, carefully inquired about the structure and personnel arrangements of the entire house, and drew a map.

Everyone discussed the map in detail, and felt that it was all right, so Liu Haojia clapped his hands and said, "Okay, now hurry up and eat, and rest after eating." Let's do it after midnight! ”

Everyone dispersed one after another, and went to prepare. These people are all people trained by the Liu family in the past few years, and there is absolutely no problem in loyalty.
