Seeing that he had finally made up his mind, Datou nodded seriously, "Okay, I'll go and interrogate them first."

He waved his hand to Datou and said, "Go ahead."

Datou turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called out to stop him, "Don't torture everyone. If everyone has injuries, they will definitely beat him up in the future and say that we tortured him to extract a confession and that he was tortured."

"Okay, let's pick a few of the most abominable ones and put them to death, and then kill the chickens and show them to the monkeys." Datou said.

He nodded and waved his hands, and walked away quickly.

The previous quarrel among the people alarmed Shi Xuanming. Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Shi Xuanming wanted to return to his residence. Seeing this, he hurriedly followed him, "Master, you go back and rest first. I will discuss important matters with you later.

"

Shi Xuanming glanced at it, nodded, then turned and left.

This matter was of great importance, and it was not easy to make this decision. With the lessons learned yesterday, he was still a little worried. After pondering, he returned to his residence in the backyard and took out the lining of the clothes that Zhang Mo had given him that day.

The sycamore branch contains a breath of Zhang Mo's spiritual energy. As long as the branch is broken or burned, Zhang Mo can feel the changes in the spiritual energy and determine his position.

He was not only an official of the imperial court, but also a Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain. If this matter failed, it would probably affect Longhu Mountain, so he wanted to seek Zhang Mo's opinion before taking action.

Zhang Mo had been here before and knew where he lived. After a brief pondering, he directly activated the pure Yang spiritual energy to burn the sycamore branch. The change in spiritual energy caused by burning the branch was more drastic than breaking the branch. He wanted to ensure that Zhang Mo could

Be aware and come as soon as possible.

After burning the branches, he began to write. He had already understood the positions of civil and military officials from a large number of files. The list he wrote at this time was the people to be arrested. We have limited manpower and time is tight. I'm a little guy.

You can stay put for the time being and just pick out those in important positions.

Civil servants can appoint arresters, but military generals will definitely resist when they are arrested, so he and Datou can only do it themselves. At this time, Yang Kai is not in the city. He called Shi Xuanming before and hoped that Shi Xuanming can help arrest him.

He only wrote a name on a piece of paper, and after the name was the specific place designated for the arrest of the person. He could not try to do everything from the door of the palace, as that would not control the situation and lead to arrests.

Before the list was finished, the door to the room was pushed open. He didn't see the person, but heard his voice first, "What happened?"

When she looked up, Zhang Mo had already appeared in front of the hall. The reason she was able to arrive so quickly was because she used invisibility spells and Qinggong.

Zhang Mo left in a hurry, his clothes were disheveled, his hair was uncombed, his face turned red when he saw this, he lowered his head in a hurry and continued writing, "The eunuchs secretly colluded with the Beggar Gang and the Four Villas to set up a trap to try to kill me. In their eyes, I will definitely die.

I plan to take advantage of their lack of preparedness, catch them off guard, and arrest all the powerful civil servants and leading military officers who are loyal to the Eunuch Party."

Hearing the words, Zhang Mo frowned and asked while tying his hair, "How sure are you?"

"I'm not sure," he said, shaking his head. "The incident happened suddenly. I was unprepared, but they were not prepared either. Now that the eunuchs and I have fallen out, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable for us if we wait any longer."

"What do you need me to do?" Zhang Mo asked.

"I want you to..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from outside.

Just when he raised his head and looked out, the door was pushed open, and Ni Chenyi, wearing a white fur robe, appeared at the door carrying a food box.

Seeing that it was Ni Chenyi who came, they and Zhang Mo were quite surprised, but Ni Chenyi was obviously more surprised than the two of them, and stood at the door dumbfounded.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Ni Chenyi struggled to squeeze out a smile and said, "I've seen my uncle, I'll give him some food."

After Ni Chenyi finished speaking, he put the food box next to the door, turned around and left quickly.

Only then did he come back to his senses. Zhang Mo came in too hastily, with several buttons of his clothes not fastened, and his bun was very messy. He also appeared in his bedroom so early in the morning. Ni Chenyi obviously misunderstood.

"Come back!" shouted loudly.

His voice was so loud that Ni Chenyi must have heard it but never looked back.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Mo'e frowned slightly and said, "I won't go after him yet."

"It's too late. I'll explain it to her later," he continued, "You have been in the palace recently. I want you to return to the palace. After the morning court, try to get close to the emperor and inform her of the matter so that he can be prepared and

Mobilize the imperial army to strengthen defense. Furthermore, I am worried that this move will cause the eunuchs to attack the palace. You should pay close attention in the palace to prevent the eunuchs from jumping over the wall."

"Well, I will inform my elder brother immediately," Zhang Moning nodded, "He is still in Jiangbei, and there are many comrades traveling with him. They will definitely be back before noon."

"Okay, thank you, uncle." He nodded.

Zhang Mo didn't answer. When he saw that he had finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Uncle." He raised his head.

Zhang Mo turned around.

"Do you think I did the right thing? I don't know at all," he said.

"The arrow is on the string and must be fired. Right or wrong is no longer important." Zhang Mo said.

Hearing Zhang Mo's words, I felt much more at ease, "Thank you so much, uncle."

Zhang Mo nodded, disappeared, and left quietly.

After Zhang Mo left, he continued to write quickly. He was already very familiar with the terrain of Chang'an and knew the location of each government office very well, and he chose the best ambush locations.

There were more than thirty civil servants and generals he planned to arrest this time. After writing down the names, official positions and places of arrest one by one, he took the written list to Shi Xuanming's residence.

Shi Xuanming was sitting cross-legged and meditating. He didn't waste any time and got straight to the point, "Master, I have something to ask you for help."

Shi Xuanming had seen the previous quarrel between Datou and Feng Zhongcheng. Seeing him speak, he guessed, "If it is a factional fight, I will not participate."

"It's not a faction fight, it's about arresting corrupt officials and doing harm to the people," Zhengse said.

Shi Xuanming opened his eyes when he heard the sound.

Seeing that he had no objection, he directly took out the stack of lists and handed the top five to Shi Xuanming, "I will send people to wait at various places first. You go there one by one in order, capture the people and hand them over to Yushitai."

The police will send it back, and you can rush to the next place immediately. I have already marked the order for you."

Shi Xuanming reached out and took it, "When will we do it?"

"After half a stick of incense." He said.

Shi Xuanming nodded and closed his eyes again.

At this time, Li Chengze had already summoned the police officers.

Come on, turn around and leave Shi Xuanming's room, and go to the courtyard to assign tasks.

There were 300 police officers in the Yushitai, and Yang Kai took some with him when he left years ago. After Shi Xuanming took over, he forced the police officers to practice kungfu and martial arts, and many of them were injured during the training. In addition, some people contacted him due to the temporary summons early in the morning.

No, there were about two hundred police officers standing in the courtyard at this time.

Seeing that the agents were disheveled and in a hurry, I felt more and more that they were not well prepared for this attack. However, as I said before, our own side was not well prepared, and the other side was completely unprepared. Attacking at this time had the effect of surprising and winning.

There were four captains leading the troops, and three of them were captured by him. At this time, only one Li Chengze was left. Fortunately, there was a squad leader under the captain. This time, the squad leader would lead the arrests and seize the people separately.

He did not explain to everyone the reasons and motives for arresting people. He only emphasized two points to everyone. First, no one was allowed to talk or talk after leaving the Yushitai. No one was allowed to say a word. There was no need to explain the reasons when arresting people.

, take action directly. The second is to tie and gag the person immediately after catching him and send the prisoner back quickly.

Smart people will not make too many demands on their subordinates, because too many demands can easily dilute the key points. Only the important things can be mentioned so that subordinates can remember them.

While the lists were being distributed, the boss came back with several written confessions in his hand.

After sending out most of the lists, there was only one list left in my hand, and the name on this list was Gao Shizhong's name.

He waved his hand to summon the boss, and took the pages of confession from his hand. This was Feng Zhongcheng's confession. The reason why he wanted to read Feng Zhongcheng's confession was just to confirm one thing, that is, whether Feng Zhongcheng came to seize power early this morning and was Gao Shizhong.

Secretly instructed.

Previously, there had been no chief official in the Yushitai, and Feng Zhongcheng was always in charge. Moreover, Gao Shizhong passed away recently, and Feng Zhongcheng also participated in the management, so he knew that Feng Zhongcheng was from Gao Shizhong.

Feng Zhongcheng's confession confirmed his suspicion that it was indeed Gao Shizhong's instruction, which meant that Gao Shizhong also had a hand in plotting to kill him.

After reading the confession, he handed the last list to Datou, "We don't have enough manpower. Go and catch this person."

The boss took over the list and nodded yes.
Chapter completed!
