"To report to the Emperor, everything has been investigated clearly. All the names have been made and kept at my home. I will sort them out later and hand them over to the Emperor myself," Jia Xu replied.
Gao Fei nodded. Although he walked forward leisurely, he was always worried in his heart. If this matter was not handled well, it would probably lead to trouble. However, he still didn’t know the power of the Qilin Party.
How old it is, it's still not appropriate to take action for the time being.
"Fair enough, you go back with the father-in-law to get the list, and then return to the palace to see me." Gao Fei said casually.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhu Gongdao said solemnly.
Later, Gao Fei and Zhu Gongdao returned to the palace together, Jia Xu and Zhu Gongdao returned to the mansion together, and the four of them separated.
Jia Xu sat on the soft bridge and after returning home from the State Guesthouse, he took Zhu Gongdao directly into his study, then opened the secret compartment in his study and entered the secret room directly.
The secret room is very large, and is filled with paper documents. Things like file bags are neatly placed on each shelf, and the shelves are also classified so that people can see them clearly at a glance.
Zhu Gongdao entered Jia Xu's secret room for the first time. After entering, he couldn't help being surprised. In addition, he saw so many complicated files placed on different shelves in different categories. He was particularly impressed by Jia Xu's organization.
.He couldn't help laughing and directly
He said to Jia Xu: "Since Lord Zhang took charge of the Intelligence Department, all the intelligence collected by the Intelligence Department should be placed here, right? With such a large amount of information, it is really surprising that Lord Zhang can put it in such a neat manner.
People admire you.”
"Haha, this is not the fault of me alone. I have ministers under me. The Intelligence Department is responsible for collecting intelligence. However, the intelligence collected may be true or false. Therefore, removing the false and preserving the true has become the most complicated task of the Intelligence Department.
work, and since I took over the information
Since joining the Ministry, as long as it is important information, I will organize it into categories and store it in this secret room so that if it is needed in the future, it will be easy to find." Jia Xu put his hands behind his back, held his head high, and strode toward the
Walk towards an open space directly ahead.
Zhu Gongdao followed Jia Xu, but he was paying attention to this place. The entire secret room was unimaginably large. There were torches hanging on the walls all around, illuminating the place brightly. When he was about to reach an open space in the center,
He saw a familiar face come into his eyes. He was carefully arranging the documents on the desk in the middle. He couldn't help but pointed at the person and said: "This person is not... Guozhang, what's wrong with this person?"
Will it be here?"
After hearing this, Jia Xu smiled and said, "She has always been my personal guard and has been working for me for many years. Why can't she be here?"
"Master Zhang, she is the one who assassinated the emperor. How can you take her in?" Zhu Gongdao completely remembered this person. It was Yuan Xing, the daughter of Yuan Shao who assassinated Gao Fei in Jia's house seven years ago.
When Yuan Xing saw Jia Xu coming, she hurriedly put down her work, walked to Jia Xu, and said, "My lord, Xing'er."
"No courtesy." Jia Xu then turned to Zhu Gongdao and said, "Do you think that the assassination of the emperor seven years ago was really my negligence?"
Zhu Gongdao and Jia Xu are both the people whom Gao Fei trusts the most, but they have never had any contact with each other. They only see each other around Gao Fei. However, Zhu Gongdao does not know as much as Jia Xu, and even his status is not as good as that of Gao Fei.
Jia Xu. When he heard what Jia Xu said, he thought about it carefully, and then said: "What the Lord Zhang means is..."
"Haha, how strict the Jia family is, and how piercing my eyes are, I think you should see it with your own eyes. At the banquet that day, Xing'er assassinated the emperor. In fact, it was deliberately arranged by the emperor..." Jia Xu met and wished.
Justice had something to say, so he said it directly.
Zhu Gongdao asked: "But why does the emperor do this?"
"The reason is very simple, just because the Ministry of Intelligence needs a minister, and there are very few people that the emperor can trust. I have a high position, but I lack a suitable reason to demote me, so I thought of this plan.
Myolie was originally an orphan, but I trained her.
He also took the initiative to recommend her to see the Detachment of Women. Later, because he needed an assassin, I mentioned Myolie to Your Majesty. In fact, when the Emperor returned from Chang'an that day, the beauty he saw in the imperial city was not Myolie, but someone else.
As a person, I just make mistakes."
"Who is the other person?"
"They are the Qiao sisters. However, although the Qiao sisters are young and beautiful, the emperor feels that they are still too young, and their beauty can easily make people lose their minds. Therefore, he has other arrangements for the Qiao sisters." Jia Xu said.
"The Qiao sisters? Are they Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao among the three beauties in Jicheng?" Zhu Gongdao suddenly remembered that Gao Fei had mentioned the Qiao sisters and asked.
"Haha, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are beautiful sisters. Together with the talented and beautiful Zhen family, they have always been famous in the old capital of Jicheng. The emperor has already brought the three of them to Luoyang, and he has also
The arrangement has been made and it will come true soon." Jia Xu said casually.
After Zhu Gongdao understood the reason, he stopped asking questions and said to Jia Xu: "Master Zhang, why don't you give the list to the emperor first?"
Jia Xu nodded and said to Xing'er: "Have you sorted out the list I asked you to prepare?"
"It's been sorted out. It was placed on your desk as you ordered a quarter of an hour ago." Myolie replied.
"Oh, that's it. Then follow me out to get it, and by the way, send a message to the right minister later."
So, the three of them left the secret envoy together and returned to Jia Xu's study. Xing'er went directly to the desk and reached out to take away a book. Just as she was about to pick up a secret letter underneath, her hand suddenly
He stopped in mid-air, quickly turned to Jia Xu and said, "Sir, the secret letter has been tampered with."
After hearing this, Jia Xu was shocked and hurriedly came over and asked, "Has the secret letter been tampered with?"
Xing'er nodded, pointed at the secret letter and said: "Sir, when I put the secret letter, I put a hair on top of the secret letter. The position of the hair should be sideways, but now the hair on the secret letter is not
It was standing upright. It was obvious that someone had touched the secret letter. When I took it, I was in a hurry and didn't notice the hair on the secret letter. After I found it later, I put the hair on it again, but I couldn't remember where it was. So,
Misplaced."
After hearing this, Zhu Gongdao couldn't help but admire Xing'er's thoughtfulness.
After hearing this, Jia Xu frowned deeply and hurriedly called the guard outside the door and asked: "Besides us, has anyone else come in today?"
"Sir, we haven't seen anyone coming in or out of this place."
"You really have no signs of leaving midway?" Jia Xu asked sharply.
"No, this place is an important place for you. Even if we want to go to the hut, we have to take turns to go there. Besides, it is heavily guarded here, with one sentry every five steps and one post every ten steps..." one of the guards replied.
"That's strange. Could it be that the thief could become invisible and walk in silently?" Jia Xuliang and the others did not dare to leave their post without permission, so they stopped asking further questions.
"It's impossible to be invisible, but the thief flew in from the beam." Zhu Gongdao didn't know when he flew up to the beam silently, found a footprint on the beam, then squatted there and said to Jia Xu
.
Jia Xu, Xing'er and the guards all raised their heads to see that Zhu Gongdao had floated down. When he landed, his feet only made a slight sound.
"It seems that the thief is a man with excellent qinggonggong. Otherwise, he would not have come from the beam. The study of the master is different from other places. The study is high and wide. From the outside, it looks like a small
The palace, I guess, is probably also for the underground chamber.
It is a uniquely built room, so the height of the beams is beyond the reach of ordinary people. In addition, one of the beams and columns of the beams leads to the outside. I guess the thief sneaked in from there, and then got down from the beams.
, touched the secret letter." Zhu Gongdao analyzed.
"But that entrance leads to the garden, and there are guards guarding it all around. How could the thief come in so easily without being discovered?" Jia Xu asked suspiciously.
"That's why I said that that person is a person with excellent lightness skills. I'm afraid his lightness skills are not inferior to mine. Sir, please see if the secret letter has been taken away?" Zhu Gongdao reminded.
Jia Xu nodded and hurriedly opened the secret letter. After reading it, he shook his head and said, "The secret letter is safe and sound."
Afterwards, Jia Xuping withdrew the guards and said to Zhu Gongdao: "The secret letters recorded are all members of the Qilin Party. The thieves have touched the secret letters, and they probably want to know the contents. This matter is of great importance."
, please report this to the emperor immediately, and I will ask everyone in the house to see if there is anyone suspicious."
Zhu Gongdao took the secret letter, put it in his arms, and then said to Jia Xu: "Master Zhang, with all due respect, your secret room may have been known to thieves. For the sake of safety, it is better to remove the contents of the secret room as soon as possible."
It’s better to move things around.”
Jia Xu said: "Thank you for reminding me, I'm going to check out the things in the secret room. Xing'er, you can go and call the assistant ministers here."
So, the three of them separated, Zhu Gongdao quickly returned to the palace with a secret letter, Jia Xu thoroughly investigated the suspicious people in the palace, while Xing'er went to call Zong Yu and Lin Chu.
After Zhu Gongdao returned to the palace, he first handed the secret letter to Gao Fei, and then told Gao Fei that someone might have read the things in the secret letter. After hearing this, Gao Fei was suddenly surprised and said hurriedly: "
How could it be such a coincidence that something like this happened in the Jia Mansion not long after Lu Fan arrived? A thorough investigation was carried out immediately, and Wei Wei Gao Heng and Wei General Gao Sen were notified. The whole city was under martial law and no suspicious persons were allowed to go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Fei opened the secret letter and read it. After reading it, he frowned tightly, but he stood up and hurriedly walked outside, thinking secretly in his heart: "Don't be
