664 The Darkness of the Willow and the Brightness of the Flower
His Highness Prince Ning's words aroused great interest in several children, and their eyes were all focused on him, which was extremely hot, as if they were about to penetrate him.
"You..." His Highness Prince Ning couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the children like this. "Don't look at me like this. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"It's a long night and we don't want to sleep. We can't just sit there like this, right? Uncle Wang, why don't you tell us a story!" Song Qiyun hugged a pillow and looked at His Highness Prince Ning with a smile, "Just tell us. The stories of these people.”
"What's the story of these people worth telling?" His Highness Prince Ning was puzzled, "It's just something the seller wants to gain glory from."
"Your Highness..." Seeing His Highness Prince Ning's eyes glaring, Shen Cha quickly changed his words, "Uncle Wang, if these people are spies planted by the Black Armor Battalion, it is not considered a seller seeking glory." She looked at him, " Did you know they were from the Black Armor Battalion only after seeing this list?"
"Oh, that's really what happened. I made a mistake." His Highness Prince Ning patted his forehead, "I always thought that someone in the mansion betrayed me, and I felt very angry when I saw this list. , confirmed this, but ignored a more important truth. Their original allegiance was not to me, and there was no question of whether to sell or not."
"These people..." Prince Dai took the piece of paper back from His Highness Prince Ning, "Weren't they assigned to you by the Emperor's brother when you left the palace and opened a mansion? They seem to be editors of the Hanlin Academy?"
"That's right, editor of the Hanlin Academy." His Highness Prince Ning nodded, "After staying in the Hanlin Academy for two or three years and performing well, he was transferred to the palace."
"I vaguely remember that their resumes are very clean, their family backgrounds are very clean, and there are no particularly big problems." Prince Dai chuckled, "Those people in your house were all investigated by the spies around the emperor. Yue, I thought that the investigation was careful enough, but I didn’t expect that there would be mistakes." He sighed, "This Black Armor Battalion is so skillful, they bury the hidden piles so unnoticed."
"Who says it's not?" His Highness Prince Ning's expression looked very helpless, "Compared with the spies around the emperor, the Black Armor Battalion is obviously more skilled. I guess the emperor agreed to Xiaocha because he suffered such a loss. The one who set up the shadow, right?" Seeing a few children still looking at him eagerly, he picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip to moisten his throat, "The story is very simple and can be explained clearly in a few words. Back then I After leaving the palace and opening a palace outside the palace, the emperor's brother assigned many people to the palace. As you all know, it is the practice of Daxia that when the prince, county prince, or prince leaves the palace to open a palace, his majesty will appoint a set of civil and military teams as assistants. This These few people were assigned to me by the imperial brother. As Uncle Dai Wang said before, they are editors of the Hanlin Academy. Their daily work is to repair and compile books, and occasionally go to Taixue to give lectures, that's all."
"That's it?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other, "Who do you usually associate with?"
"The people I interact with are relatively simple. Compared with other people who like to work hard, they are quite law-abiding." Prince Dai sighed, "The arrangements that the emperor has arranged for Chenchen are basically like this. He mainly hopes that the people in Prince Ning's Mansion will be more honest. It's peaceful, and my brother doesn't need to deal with the disputes in the court, and then have to face the overt and covert struggles of the people around him when he returns to the house."
"Understood!" Shen Haolin nodded, "The late emperor hoped that Uncle Wang would have a quiet place to rest."
"Yes, Brother Huang has good intentions, but he doesn't know that there are more terrifying secrets hidden behind the excessively clean backgrounds of these people. I was thinking just now that it's not normal to be too conservative. Bar?"
"Yes." Shen Haolin nodded, "At that time, I didn't know that there were still remnants of the Tantai family, nor did I know that the Black Armor Battalion was secretly planning everything."
"Perhaps..." Shen Cha rubbed the heater in his hand, "Their interpersonal communication is very simple. It's not that they don't want to interact with others, but they are worried that after getting close to their colleagues, their secrets will be discovered one day. Once their identities are exposed, , ruining the overall situation. Not only the Tantai family, but also the Black Armor Battalion will deal with them, and Daxia will not let them go. It is not easy to escape from a double attack." She glanced at His Highness Prince Ning, " Are they familiar with each other? Do they come and go frequently?"
"Um...no."
"Uncle Wang, don't you need to think about it?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "Are you so sure?"
"Xiao Cha, I'm very sure." His Highness Prince Ning shook his head gently, "In the past years of living in the Imperial Mausoleum, every time in the dead of night, I have repeatedly thought about the situation of everyone in the mansion, their Every word, every move, every person I have talked to, and whom I have interacted with. When Prince Ning’s mansion was first established, the emperor not only sent people on the surface to me, but also arranged spies in the mansion. The servants and the entourage are all masters of first-class investigation. They report to me and the emperor brother on the situation of the people in the house at a fixed time every day. Apart from official contacts, these people have no contact with each other in private, or in other words , they don’t know each other’s identities at all, and they are even wary of each other.”
"This is why, after the fall of Prince Ning's Mansion, they were still alive and well and were transferred back to the Hanlin Academy." Shen Cha sighed, "There are several informants in one manor, but they do not belong to the same channel. They don’t know each other’s identities, accept different tasks, and deliver different news. Even if someone is investigated, they will not be suspicious of several other people. This can still ensure that there are their own people in this house, and there are still people. Channels to get news.”
"After Chenchen was sent to the imperial mausoleum, the imperial brother searched the whole palace of Prince Ning, just to find out who had passed the news to the outside world, but the other party ended up very neatly and found nothing at all." Prince Dai sighed. He looked at the paper in his hand and said, "If it weren't for this list, we would never have thought that these Hanlins are the real black hands."
"Brother Huang realized the importance of a good spy because he couldn't find this. If he could see Shadow's current performance, he would be very happy." Finding that Shen Haolin had been staring at him, Prince Ning His Highness raised his eyebrows slightly, "What are you planning?"
"This list came in time, and these people were well caught." Shen Haolin stood up, walked behind the desk and sat down, picked up the pen and wrote a letter, "Cha'er, ask Shi Fifteen to send this to the commander-in-chief. Where to go."
