The Secret Investigation Department is a very distant and somewhat unfamiliar name.
The Secret Intelligence Department already existed when the old emperor sat on that throne.
However, after so many years of ups and downs, many departments have left a strong mark in the long river of history. Some may still shine, some may have declined, and some may have long ceased to exist, but as long as they are mentioned When people hear these names, they can always think of them, and their eyes are full of admiration.
However, few people know about the Secret Investigation Department.
Even the princes did not know that there was such a thing as the Secret Investigation Department in Kyoto.
This secret reconnaissance department is a shadow force through and through.
The most regrettable thing is that after entering the Secret Investigation Department, you can only be a shadow for the rest of your life.
Until they die, they are just shadows. They will not return to their hometowns, let alone be remembered by people.
There are only a few people in the world who know about the existence of the Secret Investigation Department.
But now, Leng Lingfeng jumped out and admitted that he was a member of the Secret Investigation Department.
Gu Xiaotian was a little shocked, not by the existence of the Secret Investigation Department, but by the fact that Leng Lingfeng, a member of the Leng family in Xishu, would choose to join the Secret Investigation Department and work for the imperial court.
Leng Lingfeng smiled slightly and explained: "It's nothing to be shocked about. I was already a member of the Secret Investigation Department more than ten years ago."
Since Leng Lingfeng's father's generation, the Leng family has been sending people to serve as officials in the imperial court, and Leng Lingfeng is naturally one of them. However, I am afraid that the Leng family themselves did not expect that Leng Lingfeng would join the Secret Investigation Department.
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Besides you, how many people are there in the Secret Investigation Department in Xishu now?"
Leng Lingfeng shook his head and said: "I don't know this. Everyone in the Secret Investigation Department is independent. We have never met each other. We also use special codes to transmit information. After all, only if we don't meet will we not be easily detected. People are suspicious."
Gu Xiaotian looked at Leng Lingfeng thoughtfully. This member of the Leng family always behaved so calmly, but in fact, if he thought about it carefully, this was a very tragic thing.
I can only stay behind the scenes all my life, unable to come out into the open.
Leng Lingfeng smiled, casually took down a portrait, put it on the table, and said while holding an oil lamp: "Gu Xiaotian, the Leng family's power in Xishu is deeply rooted. Even if you can carve out a corner, you will always fail. Someone immediately fills the vacancy. What you did in Beihuang before will not work here at all."
Gu Xiaotian looked at the portrait and said nothing.
In that portrait, there was a woman with a pretty appearance. Even though it was a portrait, her eyes were extremely charming.
He didn't understand what the irrelevant words Leng Lingfeng said had to do with the woman in the portrait.
"She is the wife of the current head of the Leng family."
Gu Xiaotian raised his head and glanced at Leng Lingfeng, with a confused expression.
Leng Lingfeng continued: "But she is not from Xishu. Her surname is Sun."
Gu Xiaotian was suddenly shocked.
There are many people with the surname Sun in the world, but her Sun obviously has another layer of meaning.
Gu Xiaotian asked: "She is the royal family?"
Leng Lingfeng nodded and said with emotion: "My sister-in-law is from the royal family and is the gentlest person I have ever seen."
"Is this considered a marriage?"
Gu Xiaotian didn't think that a king with a different surname from Xishu would take someone from the royal family.
What else could this be but a marriage? Women born into big families or royal families are pitiful. They need to marry someone they don't love in order to protect the world.
Leng Lingfeng sighed: "My sister-in-law did marry to Xishu because of the marriage. I thought that my eldest brother would just pretend and let it go, but I didn't expect that the two of them have been in love for a long time."
"It's just that my sister-in-law doesn't know what my eldest brother is doing now."
Gu Xiaotian blinked and listened quietly.
At the same time, I was also thinking about the future path in my mind. Now that I have learned that the wife of the head of the Xishu family is surnamed Sun, I must hold on to this line.
this
It is the only opportunity he can seize at the moment. Perhaps asking Mrs. Sun to betray the Leng family because of her family and country feelings has a hint of moral kidnapping, but different positions are different positions. At this time, those things do not seem so important.
The principle of winning as a king and losing as a bandit has always been said, but only the winner has the right to speak.
Leng Lingfeng took out several more portraits in turn. The people in these portraits were the people who had been most loyal to Mrs. Sun over the years.
Within the Leng family, the forces are complicated. For example, Leng Lingfeng, although he is called the third master in the family, he only has a name. What he really manages is this educational academy. ap.
Gu Xiaotian silently wrote down the characters in the portraits, groped his chin, and asked, "So you called me to the academy today, have you already thought of a countermeasure?"
Leng Lingfeng smiled mysteriously, "Leng She will take care of you within the Leng family. You just need to wait in the city for these days. I think if you make such a fuss today, the Leng family will really be unable to sit still."
"You won't show up?"
"I'm just a shadow. It doesn't mean much if I don't show up. Besides, there is a ghost in this city. I have already found some clues. I think there will be news soon."
"If this ghost is harmful to us, how will you deal with it?"
Leng Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, but then he said firmly: "If it is unfavorable, kill him."
Gu Xiaotian twitched the corners of his lips, "You are really serious about taking action."
Leng Lingfeng's eyes were downcast and he said softly: "I have been in the Secret Investigation Department for a long time, and I still have no feelings for this Xishu."
Soon, Gu Xiaotian remembered the characters in these portraits and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
After all, there are many informants in the Leng family in this city. Although they came in secretly this time, if they disappeared for too long, it would inevitably make people suspicious.
Before leaving, Leng Lingfeng stopped Gu Xiaotian and handed Gu Xiaotian the blank page he got in the alley.
As soon as Gu Xiaotian touched the white paper, he immediately felt that the aura emanating from the white paper seemed familiar.
Gu Xiaotian asked curiously: "Where did you get this piece of paper?"
Leng Lingfeng said truthfully: "Others gave it to me, saying that only you can decipher its secrets."
He reminded again: "After you crack the secret, you don't need to tell me or anyone else."
Gu Xiaotian nodded, put away the white paper, and left the Education Academy in one leap.
Leng Lingfeng watched Gu Xiaotian leave and walked all the way to the pond. He saw Leng Ye complaining to his follower about the results of the day by the pond.
Leng Ye said strangely: "The third uncle is really strange. Before at the Education Academy, the third uncle always faced the academy, but as soon as Gu Xiaotian entered the city, the third uncle started to become a little strange."
Obviously, even a not-so-smart mind like Leng Ye has discovered some doubts.
Leng Lingfeng hid behind a tree and listened. After the school bell rang, he called Leng She and whispered: "Find an opportunity to kill Leng Ye and make things cleaner."
Leng She nodded and took the order to leave.
Leng Lingfeng looked up at the sky and sighed.
"Secret Investigation Department, when can we really come out into the sunshine..."
The peaceful days were soon broken.
On this day, the fifth master of the Leng family rushed into the room of the current head of the Leng family in a panic.
The current head of the family said angrily: "Why are you so flustered?"
The fifth master was still very afraid of his elder brother and said cautiously: "Brother, Yue'er hasn't been back for a long time."
Patriarch Leng snorted coldly and said nonchalantly: "He's just a bastard, why should he take it so seriously."
The Fifth Master sighed and said, "Brother, although he is a bastard, he is still my flesh and blood. Although Ye'er is usually a bit naughty, he never goes home for such a long time. I'm worried whether Ye'er has been..."
He still had the rest of the sentence, so he didn't continue.
Patriarch Leng naturally knew what he was going to say, and soon he shook his head and said: "
Gu Xiaotian has been very calm these days. It's just a cold page. It's not worth Gu Xiaotian taking it to heart or making any fuss about him. "
Fifth Master opened his mouth but didn't speak.
In Xishu, who dares to touch the Leng family?
All he could think of was Gu Xiaotian.
But at this moment, his eldest brother had already rejected his idea, so he didn't say anything more.
"Ye'er is missing?"
Outside the door, a woman stepped forward, holding a bowl of fruit, walked to the table, placed it gently on the table, looked at Master Wu, and asked, "How long has it been since Ye'er came back?"
The fifth master said respectfully, "Sister-in-law, it's been three or four days."
The head of the Leng family frowned, waved his hand and said, "That's enough! The fifth child is just a bastard, and he has no talent. He will die outside if he is dead. The Leng family does not lack such a person."
The fifth master is about to cry but has no tears. After all, he is his son, but if the eldest brother makes a decision, who dares to oppose it.
Mrs. Sun patted Patriarch Leng on the shoulder and whispered softly: "Lao Wu, don't worry. Your elder brother has been a little upset because of some things these days. Don't take it to heart. You might as well think about it carefully. Page Where do you usually go, have you sent anyone to look for her?"
Fifth Master said: "Ye'er only goes to the Education Academy on weekdays. I have asked Third Brother before, and Third Brother said that Yue'er has not been to the academy these days. As for the romantic places that Yue'er likes to go to, I've also sent people to look for her, and they all said that Ye'er hasn't been there for a while."
Mrs. Sun thought for a while and said, "In that case, how about I go out and look for it myself?"
Hearing that his wife was going out, Master Leng immediately said worriedly: "Madam, you just caught the cold a few days ago. It hasn't been long since you recovered, but you can't go out."
Mrs. Sun stroked Master Leng's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, Ye'er is also a member of the Leng family after all. Even if something happens to Ye'er, you still need to see someone."
The fifth master looked at Mrs. Sun with a grateful face. Sure enough, his sister-in-law was as knowledgeable, courteous, and considerate as ever.
There was a voice outside the door again.
"No need to look for it, Leng Ye's body has been found!"
The fifth master immediately looked back and saw that it was his second brother. He immediately ran to his side and asked in a trembling voice: "Second brother, are you really sure that what you found is Ye'er's body?"
The second son of the Leng family had a cold face and an expression of disgust.
Obviously, the second master is a person who attaches great importance to the relationship between legitimate concubine and concubine. He has no good feelings towards this concubine. At this moment, he just said coldly: "I am sure that my people found it in the dense forest when they were patrolling outside the city."
Soon, several people came in carrying a stretcher, which was covered with a white cloth.
The fifth master walked tremblingly to the stretcher, lifted up the white cloth, and suddenly he heard an ouch and was frightened to the ground.
There is no doubt that the corpse is cold page!
The corpse looked extremely miserable.
Leng Ye's eyes were gouged out and became empty!
