Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 330 The King of Espionage

The "Hundred Riders" is located on the left side of the Xuanwu Gate. It is an independent barracks, surrounded by willow trees, the moonlight is like washing, and the willows are full of smoke.

It was already late at this time, but the entire camp was not silent, there were soldiers coming in and out all the time.

Li Junxian led Fang Jun to the largest value room.

Fang Jun wandered around, as if he was quite interested in the intelligence agency of the Tang Dynasty. The duty room was very spacious, with a total area of ​​[-] square meters, but the planning was not neat. Tables and tables were arranged in rows. There are various materials and papers like hills on each table case, and the clerks sitting behind the table case also talk and walk around at will. It is a mess and looks very busy.

Li Junxian pointed to a tall and straight young man and introduced: "This is Li Chongzhen, the long history of the 'Hundred Riders', the third son of the King of Hejian County."

It turned out to be a second generation of the royal family...

Then Li Chongzhen did not wait for Li Junxian to introduce Fang Jun, he first saluted a standard military salute: "I have met the Marquis of Xinxiang!"

This man was about twenty years old, with a very handsome appearance, he should be a handsome and elegant guy.It's a pity that his face is expressionless, as cold as frost, as if everyone owes him money, giving people a rigid and stubborn feeling.

Fang Jun returned the courtesy: "There is no need to be too polite."

Very polite.

Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, is the first king of the Li Tang royal family!
That is the great-grandson of Li Hu, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Western Wei and Northern Zhou, the grandson of Li Wei, the governor of Shuozhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the son of Li An, the right-leading general of the Sui Dynasty, the nephew of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, and the cousin of His Majesty Li Er!
Since Li Tang raised an army, all the heroes competed, and they were all leveled by His Majesty Li Er one after another. A group of advisers and strong generals were all under his command. Few of them made meritorious deeds alone. He has a great reputation and outstanding military achievements!

Zhenguan 17 years.His Majesty Li Er ordered people to draw 24 pictures of heroes in Lingyan Pavilion, all of which are life-size. Among them, Li Xiaogong is ranked No.2, second only to Changsun Wuji.

From this we can see the status of Li Xiaogong!

Moreover, although Li Xiaogong is extravagant and forthright, with more than a hundred singers and dancers in the back room, he treats others with forgiveness and humility, without arrogance, so Li Yuan and Li Shimin treat him very affectionately.

After becoming famous, the prince was sad instead of happy, and said to the left and right: "The big house I live in is really too grand, I should sell it and buy a small courtyard, and I can live in it. After I die, all the people will be talented , it is enough to keep this. If these dogs are not talented, it will prevent others from being taken advantage of by such a good mansion."

It is really not easy to have this kind of awareness in the feudal era!
Fang Jun said politely, and Li Chongzhen shut his mouth, with a stinky face, and stood aside, silent.

Fang Jun touched his nose in embarrassment, well, this one really has a personality...

Although the duty room was messy, the position of the chief officer was behind a huge table near the window. Li Junxian pulled a chair, asked Fang Jun to sit down, and asked, "Erlang, just asked Guo Duke, do you have any new discoveries?"

Hearing this, Li Chongzhen glanced at Fang Jun, then turned his head away.

It seems that this person can't find anything...

Fang Jun didn't pay attention to Li Chongzhen's expression, and said with a wry smile: "Where is there any gain? You have already done everything you need to do in advance, and you can't find any clues after careful investigation. I'm not a god. I can only start from that crossbow... ..."

Li Junxian scratched his head in distress, doesn't that mean he didn't say anything?

Everyone knew that the crossbow was the only clue, but after searching for so long, they still haven't found any useful information, so the road might be impassable.

Li Junxian still has a lot of expectations for Fang Jun's unconventional way of thinking. Seeing that Fang Jun is also helpless, he is inevitably disappointed. He sighed and said helplessly: "It's all right now, we brothers can't catch the assassin. Let's live together in this value room..."

"Your Majesty, this is your duty, brother. If you want to kill or cut him, you just come here. Why did you push me in?" Fang Jun was also full of helplessness. Is there anyone more unlucky than himself?

"Oh, that's not pleasant!" Li Junxian's face turned dark.

Fang Jun looked at him, and the two looked at each other, staring silently for a long time, each of them let out a long sigh...

"Are there any clues in the military prison? For example, the recycled crossbow, or the crossbow that was applied for repair, is there any missing phenomenon?"

You can't just sit with big eyes facing small eyes, Fang Jun asked boringly.

"Yes!" Li Chongzhen, who had been pretending to be cool, spoke this time.

"Oh?" Fang Jun lifted his spirits: "Have you ever tracked down his whereabouts?"

Whether it is the Military Weapons Supervision or the army, the control over bows and crossbows is very strict. Even if the bows and crossbows are damaged and discarded in the army, they must be returned to the Military Weapons Supervision. If they can be repaired, they will be repaired.

Moreover, the handover procedures in this process are strict, whoever delivers and who accepts is very clear, absolutely no fakes.

Li Chongzhen said coldly: "According to the account books of the Armed Forces Supervision and Armored Crossbow Workshop, there are three crossbows that were not destroyed and scrapped according to the regulations. Two of them were sold by craftsmen privately, and the other was given to others."

Fang Jun asked: "Then just bring these three people back and ask if it's all right? If you don't confess, you will be tortured and served. What kind of tiger stool with sticks, bamboo sticks, isn't this what you are good at? If not, I have some here. New thing, keep them talking about the old lady stealing men!"

The corner of Li Chongzhen's mouth twitched, why did he feel excited when he mentioned torture...

He said: "After the three crossbows were left in the market, they have been handled by no less than a dozen people, and many of them are officials from the court and the central government. Several officials of the fourth and fifth ranks have been involved. If they are all arrested and tortured, there must be grievances." Or, how to explain it at that time?"

After all, I am afraid of public opinion...

Fang Jun couldn't help sighing, His Majesty Li Er is really too domineering, even if he creates a secret service agency, he must firmly control it in his own hands, absolutely not allowed to mess around, this can be regarded as a kind of trust in the civil servants and generals under him .

If this was put in the Ming Dynasty, the notorious Jinyiwei came out, and the Jinyi Tiqi, who was dressed in a flying fish suit and embroidered with spring knives on his waist and hips, would you care about that?What is the first grade and second grade, as long as I feel that you are in the way, I will arrest you and throw it into the imperial prison. I will let you enjoy the [-] severe punishments first...

Fang Jun said helplessly: "Then you can't just watch it? It is very likely that the person who colluded with the assassin is among them!"

Li Chongzhen was also a little helpless: "It's not just watching, all our spies have been spread out, and all people who may have come into contact with the three crossbows have been closely monitored, and the situation must be reported every hour. Report it once, I hope the thief can show his feet..."

Pointing at the thief can reveal his own feet?
Fang Jun shook his head disapprovingly, which is a bit naive!In the face of such a spy, it is impossible to grasp anything without taking the initiative to attack.

"Bring me the report..." The left and right had nothing to do, and they didn't dare to go home, so they simply passed the time.

Moreover, Fang Jun found that as soon as this kind of secret agent was mentioned, Li Junxian would keep his mouth shut and let Li Chongzhen answer.

It seems that this old man may be good at charging, but when faced with this kind of intelligence gathering errand, his eyes are smeared, his heart is more than enough, but his strength is not enough...

On the contrary, it was Li Chongzhen, who looked young, but his words and deeds were rigorous and delicate, so he was a good material for a spy.

Hearing that Fang Jun wanted to see the situation report, Li Chongzhen's face remained unchanged, and he pointed to the huge book case: "It's all here, and the Marquis of Xinxiang can read it at will."

Fang Jun looked along his fingers, his face turned pale...

The reason why the table is huge is because it is four to five meters long and one and a half meters wide, and there are piles of papers on it. If you read all of this, it will take at least a week...

Is this all the report from Li Chongzhen's mouth?
Li Chongzhen explained: "Each suspect has at least three groups of people to monitor him continuously. Even if he is at home, as long as there are secret spies from 'Hundred Riders' placed there, he will mobilize all of them. Everyone the suspect met, everything he did, and even every word he said was recorded in as much detail as possible, and then summarized here."

Fang Jun almost jumped at the table!

Talent!
This seemingly cold and unkind boy is simply an expert in espionage!

These seemingly mostly waste paper summaries are so useful!
