Wang Junlin immediately mobilized 300 masters from internal and external marquises, and also mobilized 5,000 troops to encircle and suppress them. However, he was still a step late. The three places were already empty. He quickly found out that the owners of the three manors belonged to two wealthy businessmen. and an honorable person, but the entire family of these three people has disappeared without a trace, and the clues have been completely cut off.
Compared with Wang Junlin, Yuwen Chengdu and Mai Tiezhang led people to arrest the remnants of Yang Yong, Gao Ying and Liu Shu, which was very effective. Except for Gao Ying's disappearance, Yang Yong and Liu Shu were both found.
…
…
Wang Junlin summoned Shen Guang, Jing Tian, Ye Ying and Wei Ziqi at home and told them to keep a low profile and not get involved in the search for the remnants of the traitors. They should secretly accumulate financial resources and silently expand their power.
Suddenly the butler Zhang Jinzhong ran in and said hurriedly: "Master Hou, General Tianbao wants to see you."
"Lead him to the living room, and I'll come right after." Wang Junlin's eyes flashed and he ordered.
After Butler Zhang left, Wang Junlin gave a few more instructions and asked his confidants to disguise themselves and leave through the back door, go about their own business, and then go to see Yuwen Chengdu.
"Junior brother, I found the deposed prince, but the deposed prince became mentally ill and turned into a madman. His Highness the prince asked me to invite you to see him!" Upon meeting Yuwen Chengdu, he directly explained the purpose of his visit.
"Is Yang Yong pretending to be crazy and acting stupid in order to survive? This kind of thing is not uncommon in history. It may work if he meets other people, but it may not have any effect on Yang Guang!" Wang Junlin shook his head and thought to himself.
"Brother, how did the deposed prince get sick? What kind of symptoms do he have?" Wang Junlin showed a meaningful smile to Yuwen Chengdu and asked casually, "He may set fire to things, but I'm afraid he won't harm himself. Bar!"
Yuwen Chengdu shook his head and said: "He didn't harm himself, but he really set fire to the house and wanted to burn down the house, but was stopped. The most important thing is that when I found him, he was suffering from illness. He took off his clothes and ran naked in the hospital. , no one can stop me. I have never understood the disease, and I am too blind to distinguish the true from the false. After reporting it to the prince, the prince asked me to invite you to come and have a look."
Wang Junlin thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I won't go."
"Junior brother, this is the prince's wish, you won't go?" Yuwen Chengdu frowned, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Brother! You may not understand what His Highness the Crown Prince means. If you understood what he meant, you would understand that I really have nothing to go to?" Wang Junlin explained.
Wang Junlin knew that he could not tell whether Yang Yong was crazy or not even if he came for consultation. But whether it was true or false, Yang Guang had the final say. If he said you were really crazy, then you were really crazy. Yeah, if you say you're pretending to be crazy, you're just pretending to be crazy.
And Yang Guang asked him, Wang Junlin, to visit Yang Yong by name, just to hint that he would find a way to kill Yang Yong, but at the same time, he could take care of Yang Guang's reputation.
Yuwen Chengdu was thoughtful, and after a while, he suddenly said: "I understand, His Majesty is about to ascend the throne, and reputation is very important at this time. In my opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
Wang Junlin knew that Yang Guang had given instructions, and it would definitely not work for him to ignore it. He thought for a moment and said: "I will give my senior brother a poison later and put some in the food of the deposed prince every day. After a month, the deposed prince will You will develop a fever, just like you have a cold, and eventually you will die."
When Yuwen Chengdu heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Junior brother is really smart. No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to come to you."
Saying this, Yuwen Chengdu had already made up his mind not only to poison Yang Yong's food, but also to poison all of his descendants, so that they would die from each other's disease.
Apparently, before Yang Jian died, he had specifically asked Yang Guang not to kill Yang Yong. The latter agreed with Yang Jian in tears, but now Yang Guang has forgotten about it.
As for Liu Shu, Yang Guang gritted his teeth and decided on the punishment: in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, after clearly confessing his major crimes such as treason, he announced to the world that he would be cut in half and his three clans would be destroyed at the same time. The punishment was indescribable.
not heavy.

The whole city is pure and white, as if a bone-chilling snow fell in the hot summer weather of July and August. Snowflakes are scattered around the imperial city and on the streets and houses. It's not real snow, just white cloth.
, white paper, white lamp, white hanging, white lantern.
The vast expanse of white is really clean, so clean that people have all kinds of thoughts and worries.
After the news of His Majesty the Emperor's death came out, the people of Kyoto were more or less shocked. People often think of the benefits of a person only after his death. No matter what kind of person Yang Jian was during his lifetime,
Whether he really cared about the livelihood of the people, but at least when he single-handedly established the Sui Dynasty and ruled the Sui Dynasty for more than 20 years, although the life of the people of the Sui Dynasty was still difficult, it was the happiest period since the troubled times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Therefore, there are still some sad sounds in Kyoto these days.
The emperor was assassinated in the palace by the deposed prince Yang Yong in collusion with the traitors Gao Ying, Liu Shu and others. Regardless of whether the people really believed it or had doubts, this was the truth in itself, and it was also the truth that Yang Guang wanted to tell the people of the Sui Dynasty.
Whether it was for the sake of reputation or his innermost thoughts, Yang Guang turned Kyoto into a white world even before the day of national mourning.
After everyone gets used to it, they start to worry.
Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, who was barely a good emperor, passed away. What will come to greet the Sui Dynasty?
Is it collapse after turmoil? Is it rebirth after a stable succession?
People were looking for stability due to fear. Most people turned their attention to the dragon chair in the Tianyuan Palace, eager to hope that Prince Yang Guang would ascend the throne quickly and stabilize the government of the Sui Dynasty.
Regardless of the identity of the crown prince or the abilities he has shown, it seems logical that the crown prince Yang Guang should inherit the throne. This is also what many people think, but if they know that this emperor will be more than ten years later,
I don’t know what I would think if nearly half of the hundreds of millions of people in the Sui Dynasty died...

According to the old custom in Guanzhong area, there is a brass basin with some paper money used by ordinary people burning in the basin. The yellow paper money gradually burns into ashes, as if it indicates the impermanence of life, no matter how glorious a life is,
In the end, it will just turn into a puff of smoke and ashes on the ground.
