At the same time, in the imperial study.
Li Shimin looked at the reports one by one, his face so gloomy that it was about to drip water.
"Tubo, Hari City's Tang Dynasty informants were exposed."
"Lhasa City, the stronghold was destroyed, all of the informants were killed!"
"Qilin's spies were burned by a mysterious person, all of the important documents in the past few years disappeared!"
"Many of our colleagues in Tuyuhungeermu, Domar, and other places have been annihilated, and it all happened in one night!"
Li Shimin heard this and angrily slammed the table, shouting, "When did this happen, why did the news only come out today?"
Seeing this, those small yellow doors were instantly scared half to death. They hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this all happened five days ago, and it all happened overnight. Overnight, all the important secret memorials and other things in these places disappeared, and the remaining things were all burned down. Even the method was the same!"
Hearing this, Wei Zheng, Li Chengqian, and the others' hearts sank.
In one night, the method was the same, and all of the important and confidential documents disappeared …
They had come prepared!
Who could it be?
Li Shimin lit a cigarette and asked with trembling hands, "Did you find out who did it?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, there were no clues left in the places where the families were destroyed, but there was a strange thing. There was a businessman surnamed Tang who would open his business in a high-profile manner the next day, and it was all grain, grain at half price. … "
Tang Family!
Tang Family again!
I should have thought it was the Tang Family!
Li Shimin's face was instantly filled with killing intent, "All of you, leave!"
After everyone left, Li Shimin once again wandered around the imperial study. After a while, he asked, "Everyone, have you ever thought about whether this Tang Family is this Tang Family?"
Previously, if Li Yuan hadn't told Li Shimin some of the secrets of the Tang Family, Li Shimin really wouldn't have guessed.
But now, combined with what he was doing and what Yuchi Gong had said, this Tang Family seemed to be waiting for something, not afraid of Zhang Feng, and not even afraid of the imperial edict, he had a guess.
Now, the truth was out.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin asked, "Du Ruhui, quickly investigate, from the drought to the plague of locusts, how many spies were sent to Tubo and Tuyuhun, and how many of them were from the Tang Family?"
Hearing this, Du Ruhui hurriedly went to investigate.
A moment later, Du Ruhui entered the imperial study with a list of names and said, "Your Majesty, in total, more than three thousand people have been sent out. Most of them are from the local factions of Guanzhong and people loyal to Your Majesty, but … this Tang family seems to have less than a hundred people …"
"A hundred?!"
This time, Li Shimin finally understood.
Although there were only a hundred people, it seemed that these hundred people had linked the plan together. Moreover, if they were to interact with these people, it wouldn't be difficult to find out who was sent this time. .
As long as there was someone who wanted to do something, then …
In addition, he had just received a secret report that the Tang Family had been selling firearms in recent years, so there was no need to think about it.
"Your Majesty, this subject has something to say!"
Zhangsun Wuji stood up and said.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Speak!"
"This subject thinks that the Tang Family might be the ones who destroyed the secret outposts in Tubo and Tuyuhun!"
"This subject agrees."
"This subject also agrees!"
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others all stood up and said.
Li Shimin frowned slightly. Such a big matter couldn't be a coincidence, but more like someone was planning something.
Cheng Yaojin saw this and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I don't think this is Kong Yingda's doing. Although he is usually a little arrogant, he wouldn't be able to do something like this …"
But under Li Shimin's glare, he hurriedly took back his words.
Li Shimin nodded. "You're right. As long as Kong Yingda isn't crazy, he wouldn't do something like this."
"Reporting!"
At this moment.
A Jinwu Guard rushed into the imperial study. Seeing that the officials were hesitating, Li Shimin said unhappily, "Speak!"
"We just received news from the Tang Residence. The head of the Tang Family, Tang Hao, said in public that the Tang Family wasn't the only one who dealt with Prince Zhang. Moreover, the head of the Tang Family admitted his guilt in public!"
Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly asked, "Jinwu Guard, did you find any strange or suspicious people outside the Tang Residence?"
The Jinwu Guard cupped his fists and said, "We haven't found anything yet."
This matter was a little strange!
What exactly was Tang Hao thinking?
Why was he so sure?
Where did his courage come from?
Li Shimin couldn't suppress his killing intent anymore. He said indifferently, "What did Zhang Feng say?"
"Prince Zhang said that he was just following the law and investigating Qian Wanli's murderer and the real culprit. Moreover, that person called Gao Kan has already killed the person who insulted Prince Zhang. Prince Zhang is now seeking justice for the people and seems to want to …"
Li Shimin heard this and asked, "Everyone, what do you think should be done? Should we stop them? "
"This …"
Wei Zheng and the others were in a difficult position.
It was reasonable to stop this matter and hand it over to Marble for interrogation. But if they left it alone, the Academy wouldn't have a moment of peace in the future.
They would fall into the Tang Family's trap again.
After thinking for a long time, Li Chengqian said, "Imperial Father, I think that this matter can't be delayed!"
