Chapter 386 Intelligence Talents(2/2)
Qin Qiong first served as a general of the Sui Dynasty, serving under Lai Hu'er, Zhang Xutuo, and Pei Renji. Later, he defected to Li Mi, the leader of the Wagang army, along with Pei Renji. After the defeat of Wagang, he defected to Wang Shichong, and later defected to Li Tang with Cheng Yaojin and others.
After joining the Tang Dynasty, he followed Li Shimin to conquer the north and south and fought against the Tang Dynasty. After the unification of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong suffered from a long illness and died of illness in the twelfth year of Zhenguan (638). During his lifetime, he was ranked as General Zuo Wuwei and Duke Yi Guo.
Of course, the most well-known thing is the door god posted in every household. This made Qin Qiong known to everyone in later generations. He never expected to meet his son in this place.
Seeing Yang Fan being so polite, Qin Huaidao was a little excited: "How polite Marquis Zhongyi is, are you here to see the archives?"
It can be seen from his delighted face and adoring eyes that this guy is definitely a fan of Yang Fan.
No wonder, since Yang Fan defeated Tubo in one battle and became a famous war god in the army, Yang Fan has naturally become the idol of these young people with dreams.
Yang Fan nodded and said, "Excuse me!"
"Please come this way!" As he said, Qin Huaidao led Yang Fan to a huge table and pointed at the table: "The files for interrogation and tracking of all suspects are here. Marquis Zhongyi can read them at will."
Following Qin Huaidao's fingers, Yang Fan's face turned a little pale.
The desk was two to three meters long, and it was filled with piles of case files. It would take at least several days to read them all.
By then the day lilies will be cold, let alone the case being closed.
Could this be the result Li Junxian and the others got after more than ten days?
Sitting down on the chair next to him, Yang Fan picked up a few files and started reading...
These files have not been summarized and seem to be very time-consuming and laborious because each file contains too much content.
When Yang Fan rubbed his head and put down the file, Li Junxian asked eagerly: "Did you find anything?"
After hearing this, Qin Huaidao turned his head and looked at Yang Fan expectantly, as if to think about whether this Zhongyi Hou was as awesome as the rumors...
Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Yang Fan smiled bitterly and said: "I only read a few files. I am not a god, so what can I gain? These materials are too messy!"
Li Junxian scratched his head in distress: "Yes, there is so much information! It won't take me a while to read it all. What's more important is that I didn't find any useful clues."
Qin Huaidao also intervened at the right time: "General Li said Wen was wrong. I have read these files more than once, but I didn't find any problems."
Yang Fan didn't know what to do. He pondered for a long time and asked: "This case still needs to be found from several officials in the Ordnance Supervision to find evidence."
Li Junxian and Qin Huaidao looked at each other, somewhat helpless.
Everyone knows that the people in the Ordnance Supervision are important clues, but after searching for so long, no useful information has been found. This route is probably not feasible.
Originally, Li Junxian was quite looking forward to Yang Fan's unconventional style of acting.
Seeing that Yang Fan was helpless and back to the starting point, he was inevitably a little disappointed. He sighed and said helplessly:
"It's good now. We don't have to spend this year anymore. Alas, I don't know how to explain it to His Majesty."
Yang Fan also had a look of helplessness on his face: "Your Majesty, it's true. This is obviously a matter for you and me, bro. I can't come to you during the Chinese New Year. Why did you involve me too?"
Is there anyone more unlucky than him?
What's more important is that we can obviously guess the person behind the scenes, but it's a pity that there is no evidence.
How can we guide them to investigate the Duan family and the Cui family? They must be convincing!
Yang Fan was a little troubled.
Li Junxian's face was a little dark, and he was extremely depressed:
"Hey, brother, what are you talking about? Doesn't it mean that we share the same responsibility for the difficulties?"
The two looked at each other angrily, just sitting there staring at each other.
After a long time, Yang Fan asked again: "Can you find the person who bought the crossbow from the weapons supervisory official?"
"All found!" It was Qin Huaidao who spoke this time.
"Oh?" Yang Fan perked up: "Has the result of the interrogation been obtained?"
Qin Huaidao said: "There are a total of six people who buy crossbows. Unfortunately, they are just middlemen. They change hands quickly after buying them."
Yang Fan waved his hand: "That's not easy. Can't we just catch these people who bought again and interrogate them?"
"As long as you dare not to confess, you will be punished with severe punishment. Isn't it what you Baiqi are good at if you use severe torture to extract a confession?"
"If you still don't want to confess, I have some new things here. I'm sure they can tell you that they even peeked at a woman taking a bath when they were children."
Li Junxian's mouth twitched. Why did he feel that this brother was a bit unreliable? He seemed so excited when it came to torture. How could he be beaten into submission?
But he said: "After these bows and crossbows were leaked out, they have been passed through the hands of no less than a dozen people, and there are many nobles and nobles in the court and children of aristocratic families. If they are all captured and tortured, there must be those who have been wronged. How will they be punished then?"
Your Majesty, please explain?"
Yang Fan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. After all, he was afraid of public opinion and the Yushitai.
However, His Majesty Li Er has indeed done a good job in this regard. Even if he creates a spy organization, he must not mess around with it.
If this were left to the Ming Dynasty and the infamous Jin Yiwei took action, who would care about you?
No matter what kind of honor you are, even if you are a cabinet minister, as long as I have doubts, I will arrest you and throw you into prison. You will be tortured through eighteen kinds of torture first, regardless of whether you are wronged or not.
It's a pity that it didn't work in the Tang Dynasty because His Majesty Li Er was not in the right position and cherished feathers too much.
This doesn't work, that doesn't work either. Yang Fan scratched his head and scratched his ears: "Then we can't just watch and ignore it, right? If so, how can we find evidence?"
Li Junxian was also a little helpless: "We didn't just watch. All our spies were sent out, and all suspects were closely monitored, hoping that they would reveal their flaws."
Yang Fan shook his head disapprovingly.
This spy chief is too naive. He expects the suspect to reveal his flaws on his own?
What a beautiful thought!
Now that the assassination failed, these people were obviously frightened. How could they dare to do anything else?
Faced with such suspects, we should alert them, make them panic, and then arrest them and intimidate them.
As long as you use the right methods, you will definitely find trouble. If you don't take the initiative, you won't be able to catch these people.
It's a pity that these words cannot be said openly, otherwise they will really offend people to death.
With nothing to do, Yang Fan passed the time and continued to look through the files.
Moreover, Yang Fan discovered that as soon as the contents of the dossier were mentioned, Li Junxian was confused about all the questions, but Qin Huaidao could answer them quickly.
It seems that this old man may be good at charging into battle, but when faced with the task of collecting intelligence, he is not interested at all. Instead, he turns a blind eye.
This Qin Huaidao looks young, but he is rigorous and meticulous in his words and deeds, making him a good candidate for a spy job.
Yang Fan looked at it and asked: "How were these materials collected?"
Qin Huaidao quickly explained: "We have arranged for continuous surveillance of every suspect."
"Every word and deed in the suspect's life, every person he met, everything he did, and even every word he said were recorded in as much detail as possible and then summarized here."
Yang Fan gave Qin Huaidao a different look, this guy is really a talent!
Unexpectedly, the guy who looks like a scholar is actually an intelligence expert!
Chapter completed!
