It turned out to be before the rebellion of Zhongyang Xinggong, that is, after the right commander of the Gongwei Division sent Tong Xin back to Daliang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I remember that a few days ago, Tong Xin secretly went to Xiangyi with 20 guards of the Gongwei Division to arrest the suspected member of Xiao Rebellious - Wang Hu, the lieutenant of Xiangyi County.

Tong Xin thought about it and felt that it was only possible that Dali Temple had leaked the news, so on the day he returned to Daliang, he gathered two hundred imperial guards from the palace and came straight to Dali Temple under the banner of the Praetorian Guard.

At this time, Yang Yu, the young secretary of Dali Temple, was on duty in the palace, and after hearing the news of the "Praetorian Guards breaking into Dali Temple", he hurriedly greeted him.

"Commander Tong?"

After seeing Tong Xin, Yang Yu was very surprised.

Although he didn't know that Tong Xin's real position was the 'Commander of the Gong Wei Division', he knew Tong Xin, because in the case of the "Murder of Zhou Yan, the Former Shangshu of the Criminal Department", Tong Xin and Yan Shun, the left commander of the Gong Wei Division, were both people who guarded Wei Tianzi, so Yang Yue subconsciously mistook Tong Xin for the commander of the Praetorian Guard, but he didn't want to, Tong Xin's level was two levels higher than that of the Janissary Commander.

"Yang Shaoqing."

Tong Xin hugged his fist towards Yang Yu.

Yang Yu returned the salute, and then asked curiously: "Commander Tong came here today, I don't know if I have a business trip?" …… Do you need to go down to the official Chen Yuqing? ”

Hearing this, Tong Xin said with a smile: "You don't need to bother Xu Qingzheng, it's the same with Yang Shaoqing here." ”

Gong Wei Si as a secret agent agency that shares intelligence with the inner chamberlain, Tong Xin of course knows the details of Yang Yu, the young secretary of Dali Temple, this person was born in Daliang local nobles, and has a good character, if nothing else, he will be the next Dali Temple Qingzheng.

At present, the current Dali Temple Qing Zheng Xu Rong, is gradually handing over the authority of Dali Temple to Yang Yu, paving the way for the latter to take over Dali Temple in the future, in other words, negotiating with Yang Yue, in fact, there is not much difference from Dali Temple Qing Zheng Xu Rong.

"Uh...... I don't know what Commander Tong commands? Shaoqing Yang Yu asked with a straight face.

Seeing this, Tong Xin said with a smile: "Tong came here today to interrogate the left attendant of the original criminal department, Lang Xijiang, and that Xu Ji, hoping that Yang Shaoqing would be convenient." ”

Originally, the Praetorian Guard's interrogation of the two criminals was a bit confusing, but it was not a big deal, but for some reason, Shaoqing Yang Yu's face showed embarrassment.

Seeing this, Tong Xin asked suspiciously: "Yang Shaoqing, is there any inconvenience?" ”

I saw Shaoqing Yang Yue hesitate for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Commander Tong, please take a step to speak." ”

After that, he led Tong Xin to a corner of the mansion, and then said in a low voice: "Commander Tong, that Xu Ji father and son...... He's dead. ”

"Dead?" Tong Xin frowned, and asked contemplatively, "How did you die?" ”

Shaoqing Yang Yue frowned slightly and whispered: "According to the jailer's report, he hanged himself in the prison a few nights ago, and when the patrolling jailer found out, the body was already cold......

"What about his son?" Tong Xin's eyelids jumped and asked.

"He hanged himself." With a little sigh, Yang Yu shook his head and said.

“…… When did you die? ”

"The body found on the morning of April 30." Yang Yu glanced at Tong Xin and said as if tentatively: "Around April 28, several Praetorian Guards went to the prison to interrogate Xi Jiang and Xu Ji, the left attendants of the original Criminal Department...... In addition, it is said that the commander of the Praetorian Guard, who interrogated Xi Jiang and Xu Ji, was also surnamed Tong ......"

Seeing that Yang Yue was peeking at him intentionally or unintentionally, Tong Xin understood it and said truthfully: "Don't hide it from Yang Shaoqing, it was Tong who interrogated Xi Jiang and Xu Ji that day. ”

"Oh." Seeing Tong Xin admit it, the confusion in Yang Yu's eyes did not decrease, and he continued: "That day, Yang thought that someone was pretending to be in the name of Tong Commander, so he went to the Praetorian Guard Department to inquire, but the Praetorian Guard Department told Yang that he could not find the duty record of Tong Commander......"

Listening to Yang Yu's words, Tong Xin smiled faintly.

You must know that although he claims to be a Praetorian Guard, he is actually under the name of the Inner Guard, so how could the Janissary Department find out about his Tong Xin's file, and even, even if it is an Inner Guard, few can find it.

He smiled and said, "Yang Shaoqing won't be suspicious of Tong, right?" ”

Hearing Tong Xin's words, Yang Yu was really hard to judge.

To be honest, he did have a little suspicion of Tong Xin, but when he thought that this person had been in and out of Wei Tianzi's side, and had a close relationship with the great eunuch Tong Xian, and was suspected of being a relative, Yang Yu was not easy to speculate.

Seeing Yang Yu's entangled expression, Tong Xin hesitated, then took out a token, handed it to Yang Yu, and said in a low voice: "Yang Shaoqing, Tong is under the secret order of His Majesty. ”

"Vertical Arch Palace? Gong Wei Division? Is there really such a department?'

Yang Yu held the token and looked at it for a while, convinced that this exquisite token was engraved by the internal creation bureau, and the doubt in his heart suddenly subsided.

"Xiao Shun?" Yang Yu asked in a low voice.

For this future Dali Temple Qingzheng, Tong Xin naturally did not hide anything, nodded and said: "Yang Shaoqing, Tong needs Yang Shaoqing's help." ”

As he spoke, he told Yang Yu about the interrogation of Xi Jiang and Xu Ji, as well as the ambush he encountered when he went to Xiangyi.

Yang Yu is also a smart person, and after hearing these words, he was shocked into a cold sweat, obviously he had already guessed that there must be a traitor in his Dali Temple.

"In this way, the fact that Xu Ji and his son hanged themselves is not credible, but what did 'they' do when they killed Xu Ji and his son?" Yang Yue couldn't think of a clue after thinking about it.

"Who said that Xu Ji's father and son died by hanging?" Tong Xin asked.

"That's what some of the prison guards said."

As he spoke, Yang Yu told Tong Xin what he knew, and only then did Tong Xin know that after he interrogated Xi Jiang and Xu Ji around April 28, within two days, Xu Ji's father and son "hanged themselves".

Undoubtedly, this is mostly Xiao Rei's doing, the question is, what did Xiao Rei do when he killed Xu Ji's father and son? According to Xu Ji's performance that day, this person doesn't know much.

Tong Xin and Yang Yu would never have thought that the reason why Xiao Shun killed Xu Ji's father and son was because Xu Ji betrayed them, and Xiao Luan, the leader of Xiao Shun, hated betrayal and betrayal the most.

After exchanging a few words, Yang Yu led Tong Xin to the prison of Dali Temple, but unfortunately, they called the jailers who were guarding Xu Ji's father and son to ask for questions, but they did not get any useful information.

In desperation, Tong Xin had no choice but to accept Yang Yu's invitation and go to the office to discuss again.

However, just as the group was leaving the cell, Tong Xin suddenly noticed that a prisoner was standing in the cell, staring at him intently.

Tong Xin immediately remembered that when he brought someone to interrogate Xi Jiang and Xu Ji a few days ago, the prisoner was also staring at him like this at that time.

"This guy ......"

Muttering in his heart, Tong Xin instructed the jailers on the left and right: "Open the prison door!" ”

Yang Yu glanced at Tong Xin suspiciously, and then motioned to the jailers to open the cell door with his eyes.

After waiting for the cell door to open, Tong Xin rushed in a few steps, grabbed the prisoner's shirt and pushed him against the wall.

"Wow, my lord, what are you doing here? Where did the little one offend the adult? The prisoner asked, confused.

Beside them, the rest of the prisoners in the prison saw that Tong Xin, a Praetorian Guard, was so arrogant, that they stood up one after another, but they were forced to retreat by the guards who walked into the cell with knives.

"Less garlic for Lao Tzu!"

Grabbing the prisoner's shirt with one hand, Tong Xin punched the latter in the abdomen, and then said to him in his ear: "You have stared at Lao Tzu several times, not like an ordinary prisoner...... Who are you? ”

"The Commander has misunderstood, the little one is just ...... It's just that the armor of the adults is majestic, so ......," the prisoner argued.

"Damn!" Tong Xin, who was already on fire, was furious when he heard this, grabbed the prisoner's shirt and pressed his elbow against the opponent's abdomen.

After being beaten twice, the prisoner was visibly annoyed and shouted, "Can the Janissaries beat people for no reason? Fight back again! ”

"Fight back?" Tong Xin sneered: "Come on! ”

Not to mention, the prisoner was really bold enough to really scuffle with Tong Xin, and what stunned Yang Yu and the guards was that after a while, the prisoner really knocked Tong Xin down.

"Lord Commander!"

The guards exclaimed, and rushed forward, subduing the prisoner with their blades.

At this time, Tong Xin was sitting on the ground, looking at an ink-colored token in his hand with a stunned face—this token that he had just touched from the other party during the scuffle with the prisoner.

"Give it back to me!" The prisoner was still proud at first, but when he saw the token in Tong Xin's hand, his face suddenly changed, and he subconsciously touched his waist and abdomen, and then reprimanded angrily.

Looking at the token, and then at the prisoner, Tong Xin showed a slightly strange expression on his face, because the token was clearly engraved with the words "Su Wangfu".

"Crows? The Crows?'

Tong Xin was stunned, there was really a feeling that the water had washed down the Dragon King Temple.

Under the prisoner's shocked gaze, Tong Xin stood up, slapped the token in his hand on the opponent's chest, and then leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Are you from His Royal Highness King Su?" ”

"......" The prisoner glanced at Tong Xin in surprise and nodded slowly.

"Say it earlier." Tong Xin shook his head depressedly, he thought he had caught Xiao Yi, but he didn't expect it to be someone from his side.

At this time, the prisoner suddenly asked, "Are you looking for the cause of Xu Ji's death?" ”

Tong Xin, who was about to leave, was stunned when he heard this, and asked with a little surprise: "You know? ”

I saw that the prisoner beckoned, summoned Tong Xin to the front, and then whispered a few words to him, only to hear Tong Xin's expression change again and again.

A moment later, Tong Xin walked out of the prison without saying a word.

Seeing this, Shaoqing Yang Yue asked curiously, "What did he say?" ”

Tong Xin shook his head, then turned his head to look at the jailers a few feet away, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Lord Shaoqing, please order all the jailers in the prison to put down their weapons." ”

Shaoqing Yang Yue was stunned, and when he came to his senses, his face was full of shock.

"Is it ......?"
