The station of "Hundred Cavalry" is just to the left of Xuanwu Gate. It is an independent barracks. It is surrounded by willow trees. The moonlight is like washing, the willows are full of smoke and the spring is coming. The scenery is actually very good.
It was getting late at this time, but the entire camp was not silent, and soldiers kept coming in and out.
Li Junxian led Fang Jun to the largest value room.
Fang Jun looked around and seemed to be quite interested in the intelligence agency of the Tang Dynasty. The check-in room was very spacious, covering an area of 300 square meters. However, the layout was not neat and tidy. Tables and desks were placed in rows.
There are mountains of various information papers on each desk. The clerks sitting behind the desks are also talking and moving around casually. It is a mess and looks very busy.
Li Junxian pointed to a tall and upright young man and introduced: "This is Li Chongzhen, the chief historian of Baiqi, the third son of the prince of Hejian County."
It turned out to be the second generation of a royal family...
Before Li Junxian introduced Fang Jun, Li Chongzhen saluted with a standard military salute: "I have met the Marquis of Xinxiang!"
This man was about 20 years old, with a very handsome appearance. He should have been a handsome and elegant man. Unfortunately, his face was expressionless and as cold as frost, as if everyone owed him money, giving him a old-fashioned and stubborn look.
Feel.
Fang Jun returned the courtesy and said, "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 person is the great-grandson of Li Hu of the Western Wei Dynasty and one of the Eight Pillar States of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the grandson of Li Wei, the general manager of Shuozhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the son of Li An, the right-leading general of the Sui Dynasty, the cousin of the Tang Emperor Li Yuan, and the cousin of His Majesty Li Er!
Since Li Tang raised his army, many heroes have competed with each other. They have all been defeated by His Majesty Li Er. He has a group of advisers and powerful generals under his command. There are very few people who have made meritorious deeds on their own. Only Li Xiaogong conquered Bashu, defeated Xiao Xian, and captured Fu Gong Er.
He has made great achievements in various fields, has a great reputation, and has outstanding military achievements!
In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er ordered people to draw pictures of twenty-four heroes in Lingyan Pavilion. They were all life-size. Li Xiaogong was among them, ranking second after Changsun Wuji.
This shows Li Xiaogong’s status!
Moreover, although Li Xiaogong was extravagant and bold, with more than a hundred singers and dancers in his back room, he was tolerant and humble in his treatment of others and showed no signs of arrogance and complacency. Therefore, both Li Yuan and Li Shimin were very kind to him.
After he became successful and famous, the prince was not happy but sad. He said to his surroundings: "The big house I live in is really too grand. I should sell it and buy a small courtyard so that I can live in it. After my death, all the talented people will be able to live in it."
, it is enough to keep this. If these dogs are not talented, they will not let others take advantage of such a good house."
It is really not easy to have this kind of consciousness in the feudal era!
Fang Jun said politely, and Li Chongzhen shut his mouth, stood aside with an ice face, and remained silent.
Fang Jun touched his nose in embarrassment, okay, this guy really has a character...
Although the duty room was messy, the chief officer's seat was behind a huge desk by the window. Li Junxian pulled up a bench, asked Fang Jun to sit down, and asked: "Erlang, I just asked Guo
Lord, can you make any new discoveries?"
When Li Chongzhen heard this, he glanced at Fang Jun and then turned away.
It seems that this guy can't find anything...
Fang Jun didn't pay attention to Li Chongzhen's expression, and said with a bitter smile: "What's the gain? You have already done everything you need to do in advance, and you can't find any clues after careful inspection. I am not a god. I can only start with that crossbow...
…”
Li Junxian scratched his head in distress. Doesn't this mean he didn't say anything?
Everyone knows that the crossbow is the only clue, but after searching for so long, no useful information has been found. This road is probably impassable.
Li Junxian was still looking forward to Fang Jun's unconventional thinking. Seeing that Fang Jun was helpless, he was inevitably disappointed. He sighed and said helplessly: "It's better now, we brothers can't catch the assassin.
Just living together in this hotel room and playing ball..."
"Your Majesty, it's true. This is your duty, brother. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, you have to come. Why did you push me in?" Fang Jun was also helpless. Is there anyone more unlucky than himself?
"Oh, that's not a good thing to say!" Li Junxian's face turned dark.
Fang Jun looked at him. The two looked at each other, staring at each other speechlessly. For a long time, they each let out a long sigh...
"Are there any clues in the weapons inspection? For example, are there any missing recovered crossbows or crossbows that have been applied for repair?"
You can't just sit there with big eyes staring at small eyes, Fang Jun asked boringly.
"Yes!" Li Chongzhen, who had been pretending to be cool, spoke this time.
"Oh?" Fang Jun perked up: "Have you ever traced his whereabouts?"
Whether it is the weapons inspector or the army, the control over crossbows is very strict. Even damaged and discarded crossbows in the army must be returned to the arms inspector. If they can be repaired, they will be repaired. If they cannot be repaired, they will be completely destroyed and scrapped.
Moreover, the handover procedures in this process are strict, and it is clear who delivers and who accepts, and there is absolutely no room for fraud.
Li Chongzhen said coldly: "In the account book of the Armory Supervisor Jianufang, there are three crossbows that were not destroyed and scrapped in accordance with the regulations. Two of them were sold privately by the craftsmen, and the other was given to others."
Fang Jun asked: "Then it's okay to capture these three people and interrogate them. If they don't confess, they will be tortured. What kind of sticks and bamboo sticks and tiger stools? Isn't this what you are good at? If it doesn't work, I have some here.
New thing, keep them safe and even tell me about stealing men!"
Li Chongzhen's mouth twitched. Why did he feel so excited when he mentioned torture...
He said: "After these three crossbows were sold to the market, they have been handled by no less than a dozen people, and there are many officials from the DPRK and Central Government, including several fourth- and fifth-grade officials. If they are all captured and tortured, there must be injustice."
Or, how will you explain it then?"
After all, I am just afraid of public opinion...
Fang Jun couldn't help but sigh, His Majesty Li Er is so domineering. Even if he creates a secret service agency, he must firmly control it in his own hands and must not mess around. This can be regarded as a kind of trust in the civil servants and generals under his command.
.
If this were left to the Ming Dynasty, and the notorious Jin Yiwei came out, Jin Yi Tiqi, who was wearing a flying fish suit with embroidered spring knives on his waist and hips, would you still care about you? What are you talking about first and second grade? As long as I think you are getting in the way, I will arrest you and throw you away.
When you go to the imperial prison, you will be subjected to eighteen kinds of severe punishment before you enjoy it...
Fang Jun said helplessly: "You can't just watch it, right? It's very possible that the people who colluded with the assassins are among them!"
Li Chongzhen was also a little helpless: "It's not just watching, our spies have all been sent out, and all people who may have come into contact with the three crossbows have been closely monitored, and the situation must be reported back every hour
Report it once, hope the thief can show his evidence..."
Can pointing out the thief expose his own faults?
Fang Jun shook his head disapprovingly. This is a bit naive! Faced with such a spy, it is impossible to grasp anything without taking the initiative.
"Bring me the report..." Zuo Zuo had nothing to do and didn't dare to go home, so he just passed the time.
Moreover, Fang Jun discovered that whenever the matter of secret agents 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 into battle, but when faced with the task of collecting intelligence, he has a dark eye and is powerless...
On the contrary, this Li Chongzhen looks young, but his words and deeds are rigorous and delicate, which makes him a good spy.
Hearing that Fang Jun wanted to read the situation report, Li Chongzhen's expression remained unchanged and he pointed at the huge bookcase: "It's all here. The Marquis of Xinxiang can browse through it at will."
Fang Jun followed his finger and looked a little pale...
The desk is said to be huge because it is four to five meters long and one and a half meters wide, with piles of papers piled on top. It would take at least a week to read them all...
Is this all what Li Chongzhen said?
Li Chongzhen explained: "For each suspect, Beizhi has arranged at least three groups of people to monitor them continuously. Even if they are at home, as long as there are spies from the 'Baiqi' placed there, Beizhi will activate them all.
Everyone the suspect met, everything he did, and even every word he said were recorded in as much detail as possible and then summarized here."
Fang Jun almost got into a fight!
What a talent!
This guy who looks cold and inhumane is simply an espionage expert!
Most of these seem to be a collection of waste paper, but they are so useful!
