Butler Jiang's body was dug out from the backyard. The body had just been buried and his body temperature was still there. The soldiers searched him carefully. A soldier stood up to report, "Report to General, this person has wax chips in his mouth, as if he was swallowed.

Something happened."

"Find out what he swallowed!"

With the order of Wei Ben, he walked into the house again. All the suspicious items found in the house were placed on the ground and identified by the landlord one by one, including dozens of knives and more than a dozen military crossbows.

"Have you found anything?" Wei Ben asked into the house.

A civilian officer was checking the number of military crossbows. He stood up and said, "General, these military crossbows were all in Liaodong during the Battle of Goryeo, and they were all new crossbows back then."

"Liaodong?"

Wei Ben frowned slightly. At this time, a soldier hurried in, holding a clean small wax ball in his hand, "General, this is found in Butler Jiang's belly."

Wei Ben was excited and immediately pulled out his knife to cut the wax balls. There was a small piece of paper inside, with only four words on the paper "Liaodong Pharmaceutical Store"

"General, this Liaodong pharmacy seems to be a pharmacy in Taipei City." A soldier said next to him.

Wei Ben immediately ordered, "Only twenty people are left here, and the rest of the soldiers will be arrested in Taipei City, and no one is allowed to run away."

Three hundred soldiers quickly lined up and rushed towards the North City.

The Medicine Store is located in the northwest corner of North City and is composed of more than 20 pharmaceutical shops. Liaodong Pharmaceutical Store is just one of the not-so-large ones. It covers an area of ​​about half acre, consisting of a shop and several warehouses. The Medicine Store sells ginseng.

famous.

It was the best business in the afternoon. The store was filled with customers who came to buy ginseng. At this moment, a large group of soldiers rushed into the living room. A soldier shouted, "Everyone is squatting down!"

The time in the lobby was quiet, and dozens of guests looked at each other. Seeing that the situation was not good, a guy ran to the backyard. As soon as he ran to the door, a crossbow shot like lightning, hitting the guy's back, and the guy screamed.

Falling to the ground.

The screams scared the guests in the hall to death, and they squatted down with their heads in their arms. The soldiers rushed up quickly and knocked the other friends and shopkeepers to the ground. At this moment, there were shouts of killing and swords coming from the backyard.

The sound of cross-confrontation came, and the backyard became quieter.

Wei Ben walked into the backyard, where more than twenty inner guards stood on the wall of the backyard. They had finished the battle. Several men in black were lying on the ground, all of whom were arrowed, and a young and charming squatted in the corner of the wall.

The young woman had a look of horror and despair in her eyes, and several Sui soldiers held it on her neck with knives.

Another tall and thin young man sat by the wall, was shot with an arrow on his legs, his arms were tied behind him, his eyes were extremely vicious, and a soldier handed several waist signs to Wei Ben.

Wei Ben glanced at several waist-baring cards, waved his hand, "Take them away!"...

The Inner Guard Office is located outside the south city. It is a military camp covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres. The military camp is also within the military camp and is separated from the soldiers' barracks by a wall.

Under the escort of hundreds of personal soldiers, Yang Yuanqing rode his horse to the Inner Guard Office. General Wei Ben was already waiting at the door. Seeing Yang Yuanqing arrive, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "See the General Manager!"

Yang Yuanqing turned over and dismounted and asked, "Where is the criminal?"

"In the dungeon, the manager please go here."

Wei Ben led Yang Yuanqing into the military yamen. The dungeon was located in the backyard of the military yamen. The ground was a white building. After entering, there were stone steps leading to the underground. The entire dungeon was built with large bluestone, which was extremely sturdy.

The dungeon has dark light and bleak winds, which is creepy. There are 40 prison cells in total, mainly for the arrested spies and some important thieves. They have to go through three iron gates to enter and exit the dungeon. Once they enter, they can't escape.

.

Wei Ben led Yang Yuanqing to the two prison cells, one with a tall and thin man in his bed, and the other with the charming woman, with heavy shackles on her hands and feet.

The man lost too much blood and was still in a coma. Yang Yuanqing came to the woman's cell and looked at her. The woman shrank slightly and her face was buried in her legs.

"This woman is cruel and ruthless and uses spuns as weapons. Butler Jiang was stabbed to death by her."

The woman heard the sound and slowly raised her head. In the dim light, she saw a large group of Sui soldiers standing in front of her. There was a young officer in the middle. The woman was shocked, "You are," Yang Yuanqing."

"Do you know me?" Yang Yuanqing felt a little strange.

The woman suddenly laughed sharply, and she stopped laughing and said gritting her teeth: "When you killed Gai Jiaojiao, you escaped three people. I am one of them. How could I not know you? Even if you burned it

I know gray, too.”

, "Bold!" The soldiers shouted angrily.

Yang Yuanqing waved his hand, stopped the soldiers' anger, looked at her for a long time, and said lightly: "So, are you sent by Gasuwen?"...

In the Ziwei Pavilion Conference Hall, more than a dozen important officials surrounded a large table, filled with various documents and more than a dozen waist-baring cards searched from the medicine shop, and the ministers whispered.

Yang Yuanqing picked up a silver medal and stared for a moment. The front of the silver medal was engraved with "Goryeo, three Chinese characters. This is the intelligence agency of Goguryeo. He looked at the back and saw that the number on the back was "A 4".

He put down the silver medal and said to the ministers: "My ministers, the truth has been revealed now. The murderer who assassinated the princess and the prince was done by the Goryeo people. According to the confession of the witness, it was because Gao Kaidao had surrendered to Goguryeo. The Goryeo King wanted to plot against Liaodong.

We will provoke our civil strife with assassination to prevent us from attacking Liaodong.”

Yang Yuanqing looked at everyone again and said slowly: "Everyone is giving their opinions! How should we deal with this matter?"

Su Wei thought to himself that the King of Chu would not want to use this excuse to attack Goryeo! Attacking Goryeo caused the entire Sui Dynasty to fall into civil strife and almost perish. If he attacked Goryeo again, it would probably not be so easy.

"Your Highness, I suggest sending an envoy to Goryeo to question the crime first, and let the Goryeo King give us an explanation. This matter should not be rushed for the time being."

Pei Ju also understood what Yang Yuanqing meant, and he also said, "Your Highness, what Su Prime Minister said is very true. We have just destroyed Dou Jiande and the national strength is insufficient. If the Battle of Goryeo is started again, we may not have such great strength. If we are dragged down,

Goryeo will give the Tang Dynasty a chance to attack. Your Highness, you must be careful!"

Not only Pei Ju, but more than a dozen important officials also opposed the serious consequences of Yang Guang's three campaigns against Goryeo. The ministers still remembered the serious consequences of Yang Guang's three campaigns. They could not agree to repeat the same mistakes anyway. There was no voice in the meeting hall, and even the neutral ones.

None of them made Yang Yuanqingqing quite helpless.

In fact, he built a sea ship and ordered Luo Shixin to attack Gao Kaidao without defeating it, which led to the Battle of Goryeo. Although the army was controlled by him, it was a dynasty's war after all, and it was necessary to get the support of the court. He could not beat him.

Kicking the court away and starting a war on his own will only make him lose all his heart and eventually the court will fall apart.

Seeing that everyone was unanimously opposed, even Su Wei, the old fried dough stick, jumped out and was the first to object. He had to restrain his anger and nodded, "Okay! Send the envoy to Goguryeo to question the crime first, and let the King of Gori.

statement."……

Yang Yuanqing rushed back to his official room angrily. He picked up the teacup and drank a few sips of tea. At this time, he could no longer control his anger and threw the teacup to the ground. "Bang, a crisp sound, the teacup was smashed to pieces,

Yang Yuanqing walked to the window with his hands behind his back, with a pale face and said nothing.

Pei Qingsong happened to come in to deliver a few documents. When he saw the King of Chu get angry, he was so scared that he didn't dare to speak. He has never seen the King of Chu get such a big temper since he joined the company.

At this time, another military officer in the journalism room, Xiao Feng also came in after hearing the news. The two looked at each other and immediately waved to call the tea boy in charge of tea. Several of them cleaned up the debris on the ground.

Several people walked out of the room and closed the door. At this time, they met Nayan and Master Yang walked in. Pei Qingsong quickly 'shush!', pointed to the inner room, and whispered: "I'm furious!"

Yang Shidao nodded with a smile, "I'll go and persuade him."

He pushed the door and walked into the room. Seeing Yang Yuanqing standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, he smiled slightly, "Are you still angry at everyone's objection?"

"I'm not angry, I'm disappointed. The dignified Sui minister of the Tian Dynasty was so scared by a small Goryeo. How could this make people feel sorry for?" Yang Yuanqing said in a low voice.

"I think there may be a little misunderstanding in the middle."

Yang Shidao still smiled and said, "Maybe everyone misunderstood what you mean."

"What misunderstanding?" Yang Yuanqing turned around and stared at Master Yang.

"The misunderstanding is that everyone thinks that you are going to launch a Battle of Goryeo similar to the seven-year Daye period, and to exert the country's strength, to carry out the troops of the whole country, and to transport food and military funds from millions of people. If that is the case, the Tang Dynasty could easily occupy Taiyuan."

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "How is that possible?"

"So you didn't explain it clearly to everyone. I only realized afterwards. Even Liaodong was not taken down, so why are you fighting against Goryeo?"

Only then did Yang Yuanqing realize that it was he who didn't explain it clearly. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's my problem, I blame me for not explaining it clearly."

He waved his hand and said, "Sit down!"

Both of them sat down. At this time, the tea boy brought in two cups of new tea, put it on the table, and stepped back. Yang Yuanqing said slowly: "I do have this idea when fighting Goryeo. This assassination happened to be one.

Opportunity, but I am not playing like the seventh year of Daye. Frankly speaking, I am for food. If I can defeat the Goryeo army and force them to seek peace, at least I can extort 300,000 stones of food.

It will be of great help to restore the people's livelihood in Hebei. As for the battle to destroy Goryeo, we can only consider it in the future. Now is indeed not the time."

Mr. Yang smiled and said, "If you said this earlier, everyone wouldn't have reacted so fiercely. This is your problem. You can't blame everyone for not giving you face, even I misunderstood."

Yang Yuanqing had no choice but to wave his hand, "Forget it, let's talk about this! Let's talk about you now."

"My business, what's my business?" Yang Shidao asked in confusion.
