Chapter 933: Qin Family Qin Shuang
Although the riots in Luoyang City have been suppressed, the coalition forces did not stop attacking the city, but instead attacked more fiercely.
For the Liang Army, the biggest threat is always the coalition forces outside the city. However, now that the internal rebellion has been suppressed, the Liang Army can concentrate its efforts on fending off the enemy, and is naturally less afraid of threats from the outside.
For Yang Jian, raiding the aristocratic family was nothing more than a trivial matter. After all, the aristocratic family had no power to resist. However, the spies such as the Jin Yiwei who had never appeared were like a thorn in Yang Jian's heart.
Yang Jian's left eyelid twitched wildly, and he asked with an uneasy look on his face: "Niece Xiuning, the rebellion of the family has ended, haven't the Jin Yiwei appeared yet?"
Logically speaking, it is impossible for Yang Jian to be afraid of spies hiding in dark corners, but he always feels uneasy, as if something bad is going to happen.
“This is indeed strange.”
Li Xiuning frowned and said in a deep voice: "Jin Yiwei has been planning for so long, so it is logically impossible for him not to show up, but up to now there has been no movement at all. It is really unpredictable."
Dugu Jialuo’s heart moved and he analyzed it unhurriedly:
“Could it be that Jin Yiwei realized that his actions were exposed and realized that Luoyang would never be able to accomplish anything after losing the opportunity, so he simply abandoned the family in order to protect himself?”
Li Xiuning frowned even more when he heard this, and said, "It would be troublesome if that were really the case."
Spies are all rooted in the dark. If they are not exposed actively, it will be difficult to catch them all. After all, it is impossible to thoroughly investigate a big city like Luoyang.
Li Xiuning originally wanted to use this rebellion to annihilate all Jinyiwei, so as to eliminate all unstable factors in Luoyang City in one fell swoop.
Li Xiuke's idea is good, but now it seems that it is difficult to achieve it. After all, Jin Yiwei would rather sacrifice his family than be exposed. Now that the rebellion has been suppressed, it is definitely impossible to come out.
“These rats are so cautious.”
Li Xiuning gritted his teeth and cursed. If he missed this great opportunity, this time bomb would have to be buried for who knows how long.
Yang Jian sighed helplessly, and then said in a deep voice: "It's better to be cautious. Order Liang Wei to continue to strengthen surveillance and interrogation, and there must be no relaxation. I have a hunch that the coalition's spies will never give up. "
Li Xiuning's eyes narrowed and she said respectfully: "No."
The rebellion lasted less than two hours from the beginning to the end, but the raids on the major families continued until dawn.
During this raid by the Liang Army, thousands of rebellious relatives were directly arrested, and a large number of related people were either hiding in secret rooms or in the homes of ordinary people in the city. They wanted to find them all. Obviously it is not a simple matter.
As for the materials confiscated from the aristocratic families, it is no exaggeration to say that they are enough for 120,000 yuan a year. This is the only gratification for Li Shimin and Yang Jian. With this batch of materials in hand, the situation they will face will be much better.
Li Xiuning remembered Yang Jian's instructions and had been conducting strict inspections and searches in the city. However, he did not find any trace of the Jinyiwei until the early morning. At the north gate, Zhang Xutuo was commanding the defenders. At this time, a shocking incident occurred. .
Qin Shuang led a group of Liang Guards and rushed to Dilongmen, asking the soldiers: "Where is General Zhang Xutuo?"
“The general is on the tower commanding the defense of the city.”
"At this time, the Sui Marquis issued an order. The Liang Guards had important military orders, so they quickly asked General Zhang Xutuo to come over and receive the order."
Seeing Qin Shuang's serious look, the soldiers did not dare to neglect and immediately went to report to Zhang Xutuo.
Yuan Shu was responsible for the coalition's attack on the North Gate, and Yuan Shu sent Zhao Kuangyin to command the siege. Zhao Kuangyin's siege command ability was extremely strong, and Zhang Xutuo also had to concentrate on commanding the defense to avoid any flaws. Zhang Xutuo was extremely dissatisfied when he heard the soldiers' report. After all, how could the military situation be as important as defending the city?
But the other party had the order from the Sui Marquis after all, so Zhang Xutuo temporarily handed over the defense to the deputy general, and then quickly came to receive the order in person.
“Brother Qin, what is the big deal?”
Zhang Xutuo naturally knew Qin Shuang. After all, Qin Shuang was one of the commanders of Liang Wei and had made great achievements not long ago. The most important thing was that Qin Shuang was a young talent from the Kansai faction.
Qin Shuang also cupped his hands and said with a serious face: "Brother Zhang, something big has happened. Although the rebellion in the city has been eliminated, it has been found that among the four gate guards, there are spies planted by the coalition forces."
"What?"
Zhang Xutuo's eyes widened and he said in shock: "It's impossible for the three generals Yang Su, Li Keyong, and Yin Kaishan to be spies!"
“Brother Zhang, you are still in the mood to care about others, but you yourself are also the target of suspicion.” Qin Shuang said with a bitter smile.
Zhang Xutuo was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but be stunned and said: "So, brother, you are here..."
“That’s right, I’m here to convey the Sui Marquis’ order.”
With that said, Qin Shuang handed a paper pleading to Zhang Xutuo and said in a deep voice: "Order the four guards to temporarily put aside their duties of guarding the city and return immediately. They are not allowed to lead troops until they are cleared of suspicion. If they violate it, they will be treason." Take turns and kill on the spot.”
After Zhang Xutuo read the petition, he glanced at Liang Wei behind Qin Shuang, then clasped his fists and said, "Zhang Xutuo takes the order."
If someone else conveyed this order, Zhang Xutuo would definitely doubt whether it was true or not. However, Qin Shuang had made great achievements not long ago, but the possibility of being a spy was extremely low. In addition, there was indeed Yang Jian's seal, so Zhang Xutuo He didn't doubt Qin Shuang at all.
“Brother, please go and explain to me first, and then I’ll go back with you to recover.”
Qin Shuang nodded when he heard this. Seeing this, Zhang Xutuo briefly explained a few words, and then prepared to leave with Qin Shuang. However, seeing that Qin Shuang had no intention of going back, he immediately asked: "Brother, why don't you tell me, brother?" Go back together?"
“No, I have other tasks.”
After saying that, Qin Shuang patted Zhang Xutuo on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Brother Zhang, I believe you are definitely not a spy. As long as you go back and explain briefly, you will definitely be able to clear away the suspicion."
"I hope so." Zhang Xutuo said with a bitter smile, and then left under the protection of Liang Wei.
After Qin Shuang saw Zhang Xutuo leaving, a trace of apology flashed in his eyes.
Qin Shuang was surrounded by two Liang Wei, one in black and one in white. Seeing this, Liang Wei in black smiled and said to Qin Shuang, "As expected of the Qin family."
Qin Shuang glanced at the other party without replying, then quickly walked towards the city gate with the remaining one hundred Liang Guards, and said: "I will kill Zhang Xutuo's lieutenant. No matter whether I succeed or not, you will all be killed." Act now.”
"good."
The white-clothed and black-clothed Liangwei nodded tacitly, and upon seeing this, Qin Shuang immediately quickened his pace and walked quickly towards the tower.
