Seeing that Chang Sheng had finally made up his mind, Da Tou nodded seriously, "Okay, I'll go and interrogate them first."
Chang Sheng waved his hand to Da Tou, "Go ahead."
Da Tou turned around and was about to leave, but Chang Sheng suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called out to stop him, "Don't torture everyone. If everyone has injuries, they will definitely blame us in the future, saying that we tortured to extract confessions and that we tortured them."
"Okay, let's pick a few of the most abominable ones and put them to death, then kill the chickens and show them to the monkeys." Datou said.
Chang Sheng nodded and waved his hand, and Da Tou left 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, Changsheng hurriedly followed him, "Master, you go back and rest first. I will discuss important matters with you later." .”
Shi Xuanming glanced at Changsheng, nodded and turned to leave.
This matter was of great importance, and it was not easy for Changsheng 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. His sycamore branch carries 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 location.
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, Changsheng 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 Be able to sense something and come as soon as possible.
After burning the branches, Changsheng began to write. He had already understood the positions of the civil and military officials after consulting a large number of files. The list he was writing now was the people to be arrested. We have limited manpower and time is tight. 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. Yang Kai is not in the city at this time. He called Shi Xuanming before and hoped that Shi Xuanming can help arrest people.
He only wrote a name on a piece of paper, and after the name was the specific location where the arresters were designated. He could not try to do everything from the door of the palace, otherwise he would not be able to control the situation and would have to arrest everyone.
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 Changsheng raised his head, Zhang Mo had already appeared in front of the hall. The reason why she came so quickly was because she used invisibility spells and Qinggong.
Zhang Mo started in a hurry, his clothes were disheveled and his hair was not combed. Changsheng's face turned red when he saw this, and 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 am going 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 Chang Sheng's words, Zhang Mo frowned and asked while tying his hair, "How sure are you?"
"I'm not sure," Changsheng shook his head and said, "The incident happened suddenly. I was unprepared, but they were not prepared either. Now that the eunuchs and I are at odds, 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 Chang Sheng finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from outside.
Just when he looked up, the door was pushed open, and Ni Chenyi, wearing a white fur robe, appeared at the door carrying a food box.
Chang Sheng and Zhang Mo were quite surprised to see Ni Chenyi coming, but Ni Chenyi was obviously more surprised than the two of them, and stood stunned at the door.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Ni Chenyi struggled to squeeze out a smile and said, "I've met 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.
It was only then that Chang Sheng came to his senses. Zhang Mo had arrived in a hurry. Several buttons of his clothes had not been fastened, and his bun was very messy. He appeared in his bedroom so early in the morning. Ni Chenyi had obviously misunderstood. .
"Come back!" Changsheng 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," Chang Sheng continued to write. "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 guards 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 in a hurry."
"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." Changsheng nodded.
Zhang Mo didn't answer. Seeing that Chang Sheng had finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Uncle Master." Changsheng raised his head.
Zhang Mo turned around.
"Do you think I did the right thing? I don't have any confidence in my heart at all." Changsheng 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, Changsheng felt much more at ease, "Thank you, uncle."
Zhang Mo nodded, disappeared, and left quietly.
After Zhang Mo left, Chang Sheng 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, Chang Sheng came to Shi Xuanming's residence with the written list.
Shi Xuanming was sitting cross-legged in meditation, and without delaying his longevity, he 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 about factional fighting, it's about arresting corrupt officials and eliminating harm for the people." Changsheng said sternly.
Shi Xuanming opened his eyes when he heard the sound.
Seeing that he had no objection, Changsheng 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 to the Yushitai." The police officer 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." Changsheng said.
Shi Xuanming nodded and closed his eyes again.
At this time, Li Chengze had already summoned the detectives. Changsheng turned around and left Shi Xuanming's room and went to the courtyard to assign tasks.
There were three hundred police officers in the Censor's Office, 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, due to the temporary summons early in the morning, some people contacted 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, Chang Sheng felt more and more that they were not well prepared for this attack. But again, he was not well prepared, and the other party was completely unprepared. Attacking at this time had the effect of surprising victory.
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.
Changsheng 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 could say a word, and there was no need to explain when arresting people. The reason is to do it directly. Second, after catching someone, they immediately bind and gag them 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 by focusing on the important things can subordinates 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, Changsheng only had one list left in his hand, and the name of Gao Shizhong was written on this list.
Changsheng waved his hand to summon the big head and took the pages of confession from him. 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, did Feng Zhongcheng come here to seize power early this morning? Gao Shizhong secretly gave instructions.
Previously, there had been no chief official in the Yushitai, and Feng Zhongcheng had always been in charge. Moreover, Gao Shizhong had 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 who had given instructions, which meant that Gao Shizhong also had a hand in plotting to kill him.
After reading the confession, Changsheng handed the last list to Datou, "There are not enough manpower, please go and catch this person for me."
The boss took over the list and nodded.
Time was running out, and Chang Sheng did not dare to delay. After assigning the errands, he immediately gave a serious order, "Separately set off and capture this person at all costs..."
