The war in the north was not going well, but Chang'an was turbulent. Because of Liu Rengui's incident, many big families had received news. Regarding such a blatant poisoning of the imperial officials, the big families remained surprisingly silent, as if they were watching a good show.
At Chang'an Wharf, many people were stationed in the wharf town these days, always monitoring the movements of the wharf, in order to wait for Liu Rengui's fleet to return and assassinate those assassins.
These people were all sent by Chu Suiliang. In his opinion, as long as the assassins were killed, everything would be fine.
However, what he didn't know was that just when he sent his men to station at the dock, the men and horses of the Secret Intelligence Department were already riding carriages, escorting the assassins to Chang'an, and successfully escorted them into the prison of the Secret Intelligence Department.
Under Li Junxian's torture, these people did not deny anything at all, and directly told everything about it like a bamboo tube.
Although there will be life-threatening dangers, the consequences of not telling the truth will be even worse.
After getting the confession, Li Junxian went directly to the palace to report to Li Shimin.
Listening to Li Junxian's report and looking at the memorial in front of him, Li Shimin's face was gloomy. He really didn't expect that Chu Suiliang would really do such a stupid thing, and his original luck was gone.
"Li Junxian, arrest Chu Suiliang first and put him in prison, waiting for the three divisions to review him!" Li Shimin angrily threw the reviewed memorial to Li Junxian.
"According to the order!" Li Junxian picked up the memorial, bowed and took the order and left.
Looking at Li Junxian's leaving figure, Li Shimin frowned. This incident was obviously done by Changsun Wuji. This was not the first time he had done this.
And this time is indeed the worst one. He actually poisoned the supplies of the Royal Navy. This has touched his bottom line! It is unforgivable and unbearable!
Although Changsun Wuji cannot be punished for his crimes, punishing Chu Suiliang is not a problem. It can be regarded as killing the chicken to scare the monkeys and giving Changsun Wuji a warning.
In the Changsun Mansion, when Changsun Wuji received the news that Chu Suiliang was captured by the Secret Intelligence Service and put in prison, he couldn't help but be shocked. He did not expect that His Majesty would actually issue such an order. After sending many people to inquire, he found out that those batch of The assassin had long been escorted back to Chang'an by the Secret Service instead of on Liu Rengui's battleship.
In Changsun Mansion, Changsun Wuji's study room, Changsun Wuji threw a lot of things angrily. You must know that Chu Suiliang was his right-hand man. He was caught in this, which made him feel very embarrassed. If he could not save Chu Suiliang, he would still be there in the future. Who will listen to him, who will do things for him?
But before Changsun Wuji could think of a way to deal with Chu Suiliang's incident, the housekeeper ran in hurriedly, holding a letter in his hand. Behind him, the elder also came in with a very ugly look on his face.
"What happened again?" Changsun Wuji frowned.
"Master, you will know after you see it!" the housekeeper said with trembling lips.
Changsun Wuji read the letter and his eyes widened after reading it twice. At the same time, he looked at the elder, who nodded slightly, seeming to confirm what the letter said.
"This... what should I do?" Changsun Wuji held the letter, not knowing what to say.
"Master, the thing that the master wanted has not been found yet. If there is no news within ten days according to the letter, the life of the great elder will be in danger!" the housekeeper said with a sad face.
"Great Elder, have you seen the doctor? What did the doctor say?" Changsun Wuji asked.
"The doctor can't see any problem at all, but these days, I have a splitting headache at night, as if my head is going to explode. I thought it was some illness, but I didn't expect that it was the master's trick! "The great elder said truthfully.
"Don't you have any information about the people who were sent to look for things?" Changsun Wuji looked at the housekeeper and asked.
"There is only some news about the Lingnan giant centipede, but we can't confirm its existence. It's just the news from Feng that someone has seen it in the mountains of Lingnan." The housekeeper said truthfully.
"Then why don't you tell Feng that he must find this thing? I will agree to any conditions, as long as he can find this thing!" Changsun Wuji said angrily.
"Master, no, if Feng puts forward any harsh conditions, what will happen if you can't meet them? You can't harm the eldest son's family just because of me!" the eldest elder dissuaded.
"How can I care about so much now? If it weren't for you, the Changsun family would have finished playing long ago. How could I watch you die! I just want to find the Lingnan giant centipede, that expert can show his noble hand!"
"If it really cannot be done, when the time comes..." Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed with a vicious light. Obviously, if he really couldn't find what he wanted, he would take risks and deal with Lao Poison. The killer is here.
"Master, that man's martial arts is extremely high. We can't deal with him. I hope the master will think twice and don't take action easily. If he fails, our eldest son's family will have provoked a big enemy!" the elder advised bitterly.
"In the final analysis, this matter is all the fault of Luo Zhang. If it weren't for him, how could I have been in a coma for so long? If I hadn't been in a coma, how could you have agreed to use ten mines to rescue me, let alone agreed? That person's conditions! All this is because of Luo Zhang!" Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth.
"Master, speaking of mines, one of the ten mines given to Luo Zhang seems to be different!" the elder said slowly.
"There are differences in the mine? What does this mean?" Changsun Wuji raised his eyebrows slightly. A few days ago, the people he sent to prevent Luo Zhang from taking over the mine were all driven back by him. They were too busy these days to do anything. I used to take care of those ten mines, but now listening to the words of the great elder, it seems that there have been some changes in those ten mines.
"We have never found out what the ore in one of the ten mines is. In the past few days, people from the iron smelting shop below have reported that the ore can be refined if it is added to iron ore. Create a material that is harder than iron, and the sword made from this material can cut through gold and stone!"
"After receiving the report from below, I went to see it myself. As the people below said, it is indeed possible to refine a new material after adding the unknown ore. If this mine is in the hands of my eldest grandson, You can imagine what the situation will be like, but now it is in the hands of Luo Zhang. We must not let Luo Zhang own this mine. If Luo Zhang discovers the magical use of this thing, it will be extremely detrimental to the iron smelting shop of our Changsun family. !" the great elder suggested.
"Are you telling the truth?" Changsun Wuji said with his eyes widened.
"This matter is absolutely true. If it weren't for the headache I've been having these past few days, I should have reported it to you long ago!" the great elder sighed.
"I know about this. I will send someone to check the situation of the mine in Luo Zhang first, so you don't have to worry about it!"
As he spoke, Changsun Wuji looked at the housekeeper and said, "Send me a message to Feng, asking him to find the Lingnan Giant Centipede. As long as he finds this thing, he can do whatever he wants!"
