It was early in the morning, the morning bell was gradually ringing, and a new day in Chang'an City was unraveled.

Pedestrians on the road, talking and laughing, if the day is stable, it is no longer a time for precariousness, and the steps of passers-by have become brisk, which is a sign of hope.

The dynasty was thriving, and the days of peace made everything seem hopeful.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin on the throne was frowning at the moment, with a look that was diametrically opposite to that of the pedestrians on the road outside, and slapped the table with one hand, and the sound made startled the people below, and hurriedly said: "Weichen is incompetent, please calm your anger!" ”

"It's been half a month, and there are still no clues at all, how do you let me calm my anger?!" Li Shimin said coldly, his voice was not loud, but he could hear the suppressed anger inside: "Since you haven't found any clues, what kind of face do you have to come to Chang'an to see me?" People have been robbed in the territory under your jurisdiction, continue to look around, even if it is three feet into the ground, to find clues! Otherwise, don't do it in your state! ”

"Wechen obeys! Wechen will continue to check! The state officials below retreated in panic and left in a hurry.

After the state official left, Li Shimin was so irritable that he couldn't even look at the music in his hand, rolled his eyes a few times, closed it in annoyance, and put it back on the desk heavily.

At this time, a figure came out from behind the screen, fluttered to Li Shimin, and a pair of soft pancreas gently pressed on both sides of Li Shimin's head and rubbed them gently. The slightly cool touch lifted Li Shimin's spirits, but he heard the woman behind him say: "Erlang, don't worry, that Xia Hongsheng is not an ordinary person, he is clever and intelligent, and he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune." Those who can recover Shuofang without spending a single soldier will be harmed by a few small people. ”

Li Shimin shook his head and said with concern: "It's right that this son is good at scheming, but he has no power to restrain the chicken, and I am only afraid that those gangsters will go crazy." Do some crazy things to get rid of my wings. Guanyin, this son is far from what people can think about, and some things are not as broad as his vision and long-term vision. Some of them are even more unheard of, but when I think about it, they are of great benefit to my Datang. If the villains are allowed to get it, I am afraid that it is not impossible to cause chaos in the world. All along, I've always put it in front of my eyes. Hiding in his chest, he was also staring at him. Now that he's been taken captive by those people, I'm afraid......"

"Since those gangsters did not assassinate Xia Hongsheng immediately, but kidnapped him, it shows that they had other plans to find Xia Hongsheng. Since she has a plan, the concubine believes that with Xia Hongsheng's resourcefulness, she should know how to protect herself. The eldest grandson empress, who was standing behind Li Shimin and helped him gently his head, said: "Erlang is worried, this son is young after all, I am afraid that he will be used by those people?" The concubine felt that Erlang didn't have to be like this, and the concubine asked herself how much she had the ability to look at people. The hidden in this son's chest is unfathomable. However, the heart of the Tang Dynasty is sincere, and he must not be bewitched by the gangsters. ”

"What I'm worried about is not this, what I'm worried about is that once those gangsters think that Xia Hongsheng can't be used by him, they will kill him to eliminate the threat." Li Shimin frowned: "If those gangsters really have this heart and go down with a knife, then Xia Hongsheng will be useless if he tries to deal with it...... No, come on, quickly pass on the fold to Duan Zhan, the commander of the capital! ”

The Praetorian Guard commands. I went out in a hurry. It didn't take long for Duan Zan to be brought into the Taiji Hall.

"Your Majesty!" Duan Zan saluted Li Shimin.

"Captain Duan, I sent all the special combat forces under your command to start looking for clues around the location of the robbery. What did you find? Li Shimin asked Duan Zhan.

Duan Zan clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, that gang of rebellious thieves is very cunning, secretly following Xia Duwei all the way from Shuofang, until Xia Duwei treats the guards and lets them enter the mountains and forests to hunt. He launched a surprise attack, killed all the 30 soldiers left behind with poison needles, and besieged the guards that General Li had given to Xia Duwei until he was seriously wounded, and he has not woken up until now. In order to save the lives of the other three, Xia Duwei agreed to leave with them. In the woods where Xia Duwei was attacked, the special combat team members sent by the minister found some secret documents left by Xia Duwei, which were buttoned out on the ground with his fingers, and lightly covered with rotten leaves. ”

"What ciphertext? Hurry up! Li Shimin finally heard some useful information and immediately asked urgently.

"Back to Your Majesty, Xia Duwei only left three words, which are the three words 'surveillance, home'." Duan Zan said to Li Shimin: "The minister thought that it must have been Xia Duwei who expected that those rebellious party thieves would sometimes try to do it, and he was worried that his family would coerce him, so he left those three words. Yichen had already sent spies to secretly deploy defenses outside the mansions of Xia Duwei in Jingyang and Chang'an, in case of accidents to his family. ”

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, and he muttered: "Monitoring...... Home ......"

Suddenly, Li Shimin raised his head suddenly and said, "Xia Hongsheng's meaning, I'm afraid it's more than that!" Xia Hongsheng had already expected that those gangsters might use their families to coerce him to help those rebellious parties. It shows that those chaotic parties must have known the location of Xia Hongsheng's family. Therefore, he asked you to monitor his family, so that you could protect his family, and when he came, he also told clues. Duan Zhan, send additional manpower to secretly inspect and monitor the people around the Xia Mansion, and follow those people to check, they must be people sent by the chaotic party. If you touch the melon, you will definitely be able to find where Xia Hongsheng is! ”

"Your Majesty is saying that what Xia Duwei means is that if you carry out counter-surveillance of those who are spying on his family and track those people, you will be able to find the chaotic party and then find him!" Duan Zan exclaimed.

"Yes, let's get more people quickly! Send out the rest of the spies, be sure to seize this clue and find Xia Hongsheng! Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

Duan Zan and Xia Hongsheng have a deep friendship, they are like brothers, Xia Hongsheng was taken captive, how can he not be in a hurry, and he can't tell other friends the news. Now that he finally has a hint of direction, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately bowed down: "The minister obeys the order!" Let's go and set it up right away! ”

"Go ahead! Remember that everything is going on in secret, don't startle the snake, let those people find out, and cut off this clue! Li Shimin instructed.

"Wechen understands!" Duan Zan saluted again, then immediately turned around and strode out.

Seeing Duan Zhan's figure go away, Li Shimin's tightly knit brows still did not stretch out, he looked down at the open piece of paper on the desk, and sighed long: "Alas, there is a big drought in Guanzhong, I still expect you to give advice, come back quickly!" ……”

After that, Li Shimin picked up the note on the table again and stared at it.

said that Xia Hongsheng was here, five days had passed in a hurry, and half a month had passed since he was kidnapped. All Xia Hongsheng knows so far is that he is in the land of Qishan, and today is when the three people were brought out of the dungeon secret room, Xia Hongsheng tried to find an opportunity from these three people.

"As Childe said, the fifth day has arrived, what is Childe going to do next?" Waiting to go down to the dungeon to pick up people in the secret room, Yu Ji asked Xia Hongsheng.

"Next, naturally, the girl has any questions and starts asking them." Xia Hongsheng smiled and said: "But don't be anxious when the girl asks, let them say it separately, the girl listens to it once, and then let him say it again, after the girl listens, let him talk again, you can talk about it, let him start over and say it again." In short, it's just to turn over and over again and ask him to repeat his answer. If it is a made-up answer, after it has been scrambled and repeated several times, there will definitely be some inconsistencies in it. The girl only needs to grasp these flaws and interrogate them. ”

As he spoke, the three people were brought up, and when they saw it, Yuhime was suddenly taken aback.

But seeing that the faces of the three people were as dead as ashes, they looked like they were many years old, their eyes were blank, their lips were trembling, their walking was also very erratic, and their feet were frivolous.

You Ji couldn't help but be surprised, and turned to look at Xia Hongsheng, so she heard Xia Hongsheng smile and said: "Your dungeon is still not very suitable, if you can transform your dungeon secret room so that they can go in and stand up and can't stand up straight, they can't stretch their legs when they lie down, they can only sit or squat so much, they will kneel directly and beg for mercy when they come out today." ”

"This ......" You Ji looked really surprised: "This is really surprising to the concubine, just five days of imprisonment, no torture or scolding, how can these three people become like this?" ”

"The extreme compression of space makes people feel extremely depressed, and the darkness and silence make people begin to have no sense of time and space, as if they have been deprived of all sensory functions, only surrounded by darkness and fear...... Xia Hongsheng said in a deep voice: "This kind of means of not being on the **, but destroying people's hearts is so much, but if it is not a great traitor, he is not willing to use it." Now that the girl has learned, please don't abuse it. ”

"The prince doesn't want to use it, so why let the concubine know." You Ji said to Xia Hongsheng: "The concubine is a bad person, so naturally she has to use bad means. ”

Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said: "Everything in the world has its two sides, good and bad, not in itself, but in the person who controls it. Like the spear, the spear does not kill, but a man kills. ”

Youji was silent for a while, and then said: "The concubine body knows the meaning and intentions of the child, but the concubine body has a reason to do these things. If it weren't for the fact that he was the master of the son, he would want to be a confidant. It's a pity ......"

"Let's interrogate them." Xia Hongsheng interrupted Youji's words, knowing in his heart that what he deliberately said to the maid had been conveyed to Youji. (To be continued.) )
