Mr. 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. One soldier stood up to report, "Report to General, this person has wax chips in his mouth, as if he had swallowed something."

"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 medicine shops. Liaodong Medicine Store is just one of the not-so-large ones. It covers an area of ​​about half acre and consists of a shop and several warehouses. It is famous for selling ginseng in the Medicine Store.

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 lobby suddenly became quiet, and dozens of guests looked at each other. A guy saw that the situation was not good and ran to the backyard. As soon as he ran to the door, a crossbow arrow shot like lightning. He hit the guy in the back, and the guy screamed and fell to the ground.

The screams scared the guests in the hall to death, and they all 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 fighting each other, and then a few more screams came, and the backyard gradually became quiet.

Wei Ben walked into the backyard, where more than twenty inner guards stood on the wall. They had finished the battle, and several men in black were lying on the ground. They were all shot in arrows. A young and charming young woman squatted in the corner of the wall, with a look of horror and despair in her eyes. Several Sui soldiers held her knife on her neck.

Another tall and thin young man sat by the wall. He was shot with an arrow on his legs and his arms were tied behind him. The eyes in his eyes were extremely vicious. A soldier handed several waist signs to Wei Ben. Wei Ben glanced at several waist signs and 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 light in the dungeon is dark and the wind is terrifying, which is creepy. There are a total of forty cells, 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 curled up all over, her face 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, with 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 gritted her teeth and said, "When you killed Gai Jiaojiao, you escaped three of them. I am one of them. How could I not know you? Even if you burned to ashes, I will know you."

"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 three Chinese characters "Goryeo" were engraved on the front of the silver medal. This was Goguryeo's intelligence agency. 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 and provoke our civil strife with the assassination case to prevent us from attacking Liaodong."

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

Su Wei thought to himself that the King of Chu might not have wanted 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 interfered: "Your Highness, what Su Prime Minister said is that 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 in Goryeo, we 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 there was not even a neutral person, which made Yang Yuanqingqing quite helpless.

In fact, when he built a sea ship, he 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 and it had to be supported by the court. He could not kick the court away with one kick and start a war on his own. That would only make him lose all his heart and the court collapsed.

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 Goryeo give us an explanation."

...........

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. With a crisp "bang", the teacup was smashed to pieces. Yang Yuanqing walked to the window with his hands behind his back, with a dark face without saying a word.

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 'shh!', 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 retreated. Yang Yuanqing said slowly: "I do have this idea to fight Goryeo. This assassination happened to be an 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, which will be of great help to restore the livelihood of Hebei. As for the battle to destroy Goryeo, I can only consider it in the future. Now is 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.

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said, "This time, Ziwei Pavilion is adjusted, I plan to let you join the Pavilion as a prime minister."
