The guardian of Luoyang City, Wen Daya, belongs to Li Shimin, and everyone in the court knows this!
In fact, since Li Shimin took Luoyang back from Wang Shichong, this city has never been out of his control!
Even Li Yuan acquiesced to this.
After all, this city was conquered bit by bit by Li Shimin risking his life.
If others want to point fingers, they are not qualified!
Perhaps, because of this, something happened suddenly in Luoyang, which had always been extremely calm, which caught everyone by surprise!
"It's easy to say Wen Daya. There is nothing shameful about him. The key lies in Zhang Liang!"
In the study room of Prince Qin's Mansion, Li Shimin pursed his lips tightly, and his usually calm face now showed a bit of anxiety.
Next to him, Fang Xuanling, who was wearing a Confucian shirt, was sitting on a chair motionless, but his slightly trembling palms revealed the unrest in his heart.
"I heard that Li Yuanji has rushed to Luoyang at night. They are so aggressive. Someone must have tipped off the matter secretly!" After a long time, Fang Xuanling raised his head and said in a hoarse voice.
"Who is tipping off the news?!" Li Shimin asked coldly, as if his eyes were filled with cold light.
Fang Xuanling shook her head and replied, "I don't know yet!"
"Hiss..." Li Shimin took a deep breath and was about to speak when he heard Xue Shou on the other side say in a deep voice: "No matter who leaked the news, there is no point in pursuing this matter now! The key is, how do we deal with it now? this matter!"
After these words, several people in the room fell silent.
As the core think tank team around Li Shimin, they all know how serious the consequences will be once what Zhang Liang is doing is exposed!
"Otherwise, we will find a way to make Zhang Liang..."
Du Ruhui stopped abruptly mid-sentence, but the other people in the room understood what he meant.
"No! Zhang Liang is a brother of you and me. How can we abandon him just because he fell into the enemy's hands? Don't mention this matter!"
Li Shimin gave Du Ruhui a cold look and flatly rejected his proposal!
"Ahem..."
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to change, Fang Xuanling coughed lightly and comforted the slightly embarrassed Du Ruhui: "Old Du, a strong man, has no choice but to break his wrist. I believe Lao Du is also uncomfortable! Moreover, at this time, I'm afraid it's him If you want to confess, we have already done so.”
"What if he doesn't recruit?"
Xue Shou asked suddenly. He still had some confidence in Zhang Liang.
After hearing this, Fang Xuanling shook his head with a wry smile: "It's difficult! The criminal law is like a furnace. Even a person who is made of iron will probably not be able to withstand those tortures to extract a confession!"
After saying this, there was another long silence.
The few people here have all experienced darkness. Naturally, they know that there are things in this world that are more terrifying than death! Those criminal laws that go beyond the limits of human beings are enough to turn a man who is as solid as steel into soft grass around his fingers.
"I feel that no matter what, we can no longer place our hopes on one person!"
I don’t know how long it took, but Xue Shou finally said slowly in the silence: "Since the matter can no longer be avoided, let’s face the difficulty! Inform everyone who is still in Chang'an and let them be prepared! If it doesn’t work, then the only option is to fight to the death!”
"A fight to the death? Has that moment really come?!" Li Shimin's heart trembled when he heard Xue Shou's words, and he said with some difficulty.
Xue Shou looked directly into Li Shimin's eyes and said word for word: "Try your best and prepare for the worst! We are not the prince! This time, we really cannot afford to lose!"

Luoyang!
In a dark dungeon in the city, a tall man was hanging in the air by several thick iron chains.
On his naked body, blood was still seeping out from the shocking whip marks. The blood slowly dripped along the iron chains and toes onto the ground under him, splashing with monster blood. flower.
"Bang..."
At some point, the heavy cell door was suddenly opened, and a stream of air flowed into the dungeon.
The jailers who were resting at the table were startled and quickly covered the light of the flickering oil lamp with their hands. After the light stabilized, they raised their heads and looked at the people who walked in.
"His Royal Highness King Qi?"
A middle-aged jailer was the first to recognize the person. After being shocked, he quickly stepped forward to salute, but before he could get closer, he was pushed away by Li Yuanji's entourage!
Li Yuanji didn't care about the roughness of his men. He walked down the steps step by step, then looked at the man hanging in the air, and circled around with interest. Finally, he chuckled and asked the jailer. : "What have you asked for after such a long time?"
"Back to...His Royal Highness King Qi, this man is too tough-mouthed. From the moment he came in until now, he has refused to say a word!" The jailer who had just been pushed away had a troubled expression on his face. He quickly came over and replied in a low voice.
"You haven't asked anything for so long?"
Hearing this answer, Li Yuanji's face instantly darkened!
The attendants directly grabbed the collars of the jailers and lifted them in front of Li Yuanji.
The jailers who were restrained and unable to move were shocked. Looking at the ugly face in front of them, their hearts throbbed for no reason: "Your Highness... Your Highness! Give us a little more time, we will definitely..."
"Give you some time?" Li Yuanji looked at the frightened faces in front of him, and a sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"ah……"
Soon, a scream suddenly sounded in the dungeon!
Along with a puff of green smoke, Li Yuanji dropped the soldering iron in his hand, looked at the jailer with half of his face burned with disgust and said: "Trash! How dare you ask for time from me? Throw it out!"
"Here!"
The few followers Li Yuanji brought had expressionless expressions, as if they were used to this kind of thing, and they dragged the unconscious jailer outside the prison.
As for the remaining jailers, their faces were already pale, their bodies were like chaff, and they couldn't even make a sound!
These people have been in jail for a long time!
They have seen so many sinners and suffered so many punishments that they can’t even count them!
But crazy people like Li Yuanji, even those who consider themselves sinful, are extremely frightened.
Seeing his men throwing the jailer out of the door like trash, Li Yuanji finally laughed, grabbed the other jailer's hair and said to the man hanging in the air:
"Hey, Zhang Liang, I know you're awake! My second brother can't save you here! In my opinion, why don't you just do it? From now on, you will follow me. What glory and wealth do you have? Why do you have to suffer such a crime? See, these people are here, you just need to nod, and I will repay you ten times the punishment they used on you, how about it? "
