The covert hunting operation began in early October.

One hundred and three people were quickly arrested and brought to justice.

In the palace, the death of a few servants was not a big deal for them, but when the dead people had something to do with them, the mice hiding in the dark began to panic.

Within a month, the Privy Council investigated the matter of the prince's attack to the bottom.

There was a child prostitute next to the prince, who scented the robe that the prince wore that day with a special fragrance, and then, someone in the forbidden army revealed the deployment map of the autumn hunting and the time for changing guards, and the group of people had already ambushed in the hunting ground Among them, the retreat route was also calculated early on.

Zhao Quan was considered innocent, and he was not innocent.

Coincidentally, the person in the Imperial Guard who leaked the defense plan was one of his subordinates.

Hearing this news, Zhao Quan immediately entered the palace to ask to see the emperor.

He knelt in front of the hall, the sky was dark and thunder was rolling.

This time, even the emperor couldn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Looking at the densely packed characters on the roster, he rubbed his brows sullenly, his eyes were a little moist.

"That's the prince, but my son, how dare they..."

"Your Majesty, in the past month, the Privy Council has tried one by one. These people are specially placed spies in various palaces and departments. They are well-trained and have been hiding for many years. They have a complete information transmission network and means of transmission."

Hearing this, the emperor frowned tightly.

He clutched the roster anxiously and asked.

"Then, what did you find out?"

Du Zhong looked cold.

"Lin Jiang, tell me."

Banana, who was dazed by the side, blinked, but Du Zhong suddenly called her.

After being stunned for a while, she said in a deep voice.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this time we found 35 accomplices of the thieves, [-] committed suicide by swallowing poison, three committed suicide by biting their tongues, and [-] died while escaping from arrest. From the rest of the population, we only interrogated Besides, they all come from an organization called 'Drawing Silk'. Many of them have never been in contact with each other, and even people in the same palace don't know each other's identities, but as long as they receive action information, they will use The determination to die will do whatever it takes to complete your mission."

"Then how do they deliver the news?" The emperor frowned even more when he heard this, and he swallowed in fear.

Such a pervasive organization is really scary.

"They use special cipher texts to transmit messages." Banana said, she took out a piece of broken clothes from her sleeve, and handed it to the imperial eunuch.

Just such a torn corner of the clothes, except for the edge of the thread and the fine stitches, there is no problem.

"How can this convey information." The emperor looked around cautiously, but Banana smiled.

"Returning to Your Majesty, they sewed information on clothes, handkerchiefs, and bamboo tube documents. These clothes with information will be sent to the places where these people often go, such as clothing stores, bookstores, and restaurants. , Even the small stalls in the streets and alleys, these they will pass by every once in a while, if there is no task, they will continue to lie dormant, if there is, they will take these objects with tasks back, and after deciphering the ciphertext, Then find an opportunity to destroy these things."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help turning over the corners of the clothes in his hands and looking again. Except for the patterns, he really couldn't see anything.

He sighed sadly.

"Such a meticulous mind, really..."

Du Zhong's face was solemn, how could they distinguish the things that circulated among ordinary people, so that they would not be afraid of being bought by others, and they still had other special methods.

Whether it's the powerful and exquisite crossbow, or the group of spies who committed suicide without hesitation, to this weird ciphertext.

It makes people feel cold.

This is simply not something that any civil forces can do.

Then this matter is not just an assassination case of the prince, it may be related to the Southern Song Dynasty, as well as the safety of His Majesty.

The emperor couldn't help sighing again. He was not a brave person. Seeing this at this time, he couldn't help but think of the people around him who the queen mother frequently cleaned to protect him.

Thinking about it now, it must have been a helpless move.

Some things are just impossible to guard against.

"Forget it, these things give me a headache, and it's getting late, so I'll leave it to the Prime Minister."

The emperor threw what was in his hand to the eunuch as if he had thrown a hot potato, and after a few casual words, he was about to leave.

Du Zhong looked at his back with ups and downs in his eyes, showing endless helplessness.

The Banana girl at the side looked submissive, and she followed her boss with great responsibility, insisting on being a loyal and obedient dumb subordinate.

But I couldn't help muttering in my heart.

My good fellow, why not go back to the kiln and be a spy. I have to face this cold face every day, or that group of pedantic and sour old men. How can it be as fun as that rich young man with a sweet mouth and a lot of money.

Hey……

After she sighed countless times in her heart, Du Zhong asked unexpectedly.

"Where did you buy the tea you drank that day? It tastes good."

Banana was startled, the corners of her mouth sank slightly.

"It's just a random purchase from a tea shop. If you like it, I will send one to your house later."

Du Zhong paused in his footsteps, but turned his head and glanced coldly at her, before striding away.

Looking at his back, Banana suddenly clenched the hand under the sleeve.

Du Zhong seemed to have noticed something.

Banana's throat was a little hard, but her mind was flashing through her own loopholes.

Just when he was about to walk out of the shelter of the eaves of the hall, big raindrops fell down.

The first autumn rain has come.

Come with great momentum.

Come with a bang.

A white hand stretched out the eaves of the window, followed by a few drops of rain.

"Master, it's raining heavily, don't let the rain splash on you."

Xing Ai on the side hurriedly put down the fruit in her hand, and reached out to close the window a little smaller, but was stopped by Jiang Lingyi's voice.

"No need."

She read the official documents for a long time, and now it rained suddenly, and her heart felt more comfortable after being bored for a long time.

Now Xing Ai is the only one left in the house except for Xing Xing. She has been pretending to be sick for a long time, and others think she is not good enough. Besides, there is a lot of noise about the assassination of the prince by Duan Wang, and her family has become quite deserted. , It also saves a lot of trouble.

Even Yuan Shi couldn't help but come to inquire about it. That Prince Duan was really daring to murder his brother for a long time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lingyi's mouth sank again.

This move really beat Zhao Quan a little hard.

Do people in the world care if he did it? They just think.

It will be him.

Zhao Quan should have some regrets.

His ambition is well known.
