The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

The things inside should be what he is interested in.

It is also what His Majesty is looking forward to seeing.

Li Wu stepped forward cautiously, used his sword to pick up the wooden box on the shelf, and waited until he saw the contents clearly before he stepped forward and took it in his hand.

There were treasures and ancient books in the wooden box.

After searching for a long time, he finally found some letters in a box.

Li Wu asked someone to check whether the letters were safe, and then put them back in the box.

"These things are handed over to you for disposal. After counting, organize them into books. I will take the account books and these letters here into the palace. Including these treasures here, I also need to ask His Majesty before I can deal with them." Li Wu said.

"Boss, go with peace of mind. Here, brothers, guard for the time being."

Li Wu took two people back to the original fork in the road. Li Shiqi was already guarding the intersection.

"How is the situation over there?" Li Wu asked.

"Towards this direction, there is a water dungeon. Judging from the direction and location, it is just below the lake in the backyard. This place is ingenious." Li Shiqi said, "There is nothing in the water dungeon. It is dark, damp, narrow and cramped. Staying in it for a while makes people uncomfortable. It is indeed Yu Wenzhi's house."

Li Shiqi sighed.

He cursed Yu Wenzhi in a roundabout way, saying that he was not a good-for-nothing. Otherwise, how could such a tormenting place be built?

"There are many good things at the bottom of my side, but the most important thing has been found." Li Wu patted the box in his hand: "I will go to the palace immediately, and I will leave everything here to you. Since there is no problem with the water dungeon, you can take people down to count and guard it."

"Okay." Li Shiqi responded.

The core of the people in the Hundred Cavalry Division were all the former secret guards of the Tiance Mansion. Later, Li Shimin expanded the division by transferring a group of good players from his entourage and the army, and then looking for a group of people with various skills in the army to fill the Hundred Cavalry Division.

These people would not betray Li Shimin even if they lost their lives.

Either they were trained from childhood to kill for Li Shimin, or they survived in the army, following Li Shimin in the war, charging into battle, and they were all trustworthy people.

Last year and this year, the other people who expanded the Hundred Cavalry Division were all ordinary people who could not be seen as unusual in the crowd. These people were scattered inside and outside Chang'an City to inquire about the news of the entire Chang'an City.

In addition, Li Wu also brought people to plant spies in the houses of various aristocratic families.

Those who could be arranged to go in would be arranged in, and those who could not be arranged would keep an eye on the existing people in those houses and look for opportunities to turn one or two of them for the use of the Hundred Cavalry Division.

There were only two lists of the personnel of the Hundred Cavalry Division, one was with Li Shimin, and the other was in the hands of Li Wu, the commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division.

Those who could follow Li Wu and Li Shiqi into the backyard of the Pei family mansion were all core members of the Hundred Cavalry Division, and they were all trustworthy.

Li Wu handed the place over to Li Shiqi with confidence, and he galloped into the palace with his two brothers escorting him.

As the commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division, Li Shimin granted Li Wu the right to ride a horse in the palace, so that he could pass the news to the emperor faster.

Look, in just one afternoon, Li Wu brought good news.

He waited outside the hall and asked the eunuch to pass the news in the hall.

Because at this time, there were still court officials in the Liangyi Hall discussing things with the emperor.

And what the Hundred Cavalry Division did and what it brought were not suitable for reporting to the emperor in front of the court officials.

After the eunuch entered the hall, he whispered a few words in Li Shimin's ear.

"Wait in the side hall." Li Shimin raised his eyelids and glanced at the entrance of the main hall.

The courtiers who were discussing matters in the hall were also curious and looked outside, but there was no one outside except the palace guards and eunuchs on duty.

After receiving the order, the eunuchs left the hall and told Li Wu to wait in the side hall.

Li Wu went to the side hall by himself. Two people from the Hundred Cavalry Division were guarding outside the side hall, staring at the Jinwu Guards in the palace.

Li Wu kept holding the box, and the account book was bulging in his arms.

He dared not let others do these things, and had to hand them over to His Majesty in person.

In the main hall of Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin no longer had the heart to argue with a few courtiers. He quickly decided the matter and sent them away.

Even if there were any doubts, he could go to Fang Xuanling, and then let the Secretariat draft the regulations and send them here for approval.

Regardless of whether it was suitable or not, it would all have to pass his test in the end.

Li Shimin stood up and walked towards the side hall. When he reached the door, he asked the eunuchs who followed him toEveryone was waiting outside.

He walked into the side hall and said to the person at the door: "Close the door first."

"Yes." The eunuch responded.

Then, after the emperor entered the hall, he slowly closed the door.

"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission." Li Wu presented the wooden box with both hands.

"Tell me more about it." Li Shimin's voice was calm, as if he had expected it a long time ago.

Li Wu then told the story of the dungeon found in the rockery in the backyard of the Pei family in detail.

"There are still few talented people in the Hundred Cavalry Division. We need to strengthen this aspect and learn more. Otherwise, we can't even search the house properly. I still expect you to do great things."

"Yes." Li Wu bowed his head and responded.

Li Shimin opened the box in Li Wu's hand and took out the top letter from it.

"Has anyone else seen these?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, after finding these things, I had people check the envelopes and letter papers. After confirming that there were no problems, I sent them to the emperor without seeing the contents in detail."

This was done to be on the safe side. If there was something on the envelopes and letter papers that shouldn't be there, and they were handed over to the emperor without inspection, and something went wrong, killing all the people from the Hundred Cavalry Division would not make up for it. Li Wu didn't dare to make such a mistake.

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

Then he took out one letter after another and just read the words on the envelope.

The information revealed by just the envelopes was enough.

It was a pity that Pei Ji kept all these letters.

Li Shimin smiled.

He couldn't help but keep them. If he didn't keep them, the Pei family would be in trouble, and these people would definitely swarm over, leaving Pei Ji no chance to speak.

And keeping them would be a handle, and others would have to think about it if they wanted to do it.

Aristocratic families basically all do this.

Knowing that keeping it would lead to the risk of leakage, but not keeping it, losing control of the thread, is more disturbing than leaking a letter.
