"General."
When the jailer saw that it was Liu Feng, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Open the door."
The jailer quickly opened the door.
Unexpectedly, Liu Feng saw Sun Dezhang fast asleep.
"Sigh, you've come here to enjoy yourself. Wake up and get up."
"Hurry up, I need to talk to you."
Liu Feng chuckled and kicked Sun Dezhang.
Sun Dezhang was locked up yesterday, but he didn't expect Liu Feng to come looking for him today. This came faster than he had anticipated.
Do it right now.
Liu Feng did not keep any of the copied list and handed it over to Sun Dezhang.
Do you remember all these people's backgrounds?
Sun Dezhang glanced at the list and asked incredulously:
"General, where did you get this list?"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with this list?"
"General, there is no problem."
"However, I can tell at a glance that such a top-secret item came from the Seven Star Tower."
"How could you tell that this thing came from the Seven Star Tower?"
"General, you may not know this, but in the Seven Star Tower, every top-secret matter has its own unique mark."
"Even later copies are not acceptable?"
Sun Dezhang suddenly stood up and began to think, pacing around the room.
"General, since you asked me, let me first talk about Long Yugang. This man was not originally called by this name. His name was Li Guangcai. He changed his name after he became an official."
“Our Seven Star Tower’s records contain the original names of the ranks, which is why I assert that this list came from the Seven Star Tower.”
"And then there's Li Zhi. He's a military man by origin. He was originally just a lieutenant general, but now he's the vice minister of the Ministry of Works, a proper third-rank official."
"According to the usual documents or lists, officials of this level should be placed at the top."
"And this..."
Sun Dezhang cited several examples in succession.
The secret codes of the Seven Star Tower are mostly word games that ordinary people wouldn't pay much attention to.
"In other words, this list must have originally been in the Seven Star Tower."
Sun Dezhang nodded.
"These people are more or less colluding with the Heaven and Earth Society, and some of them are even people cultivated by the Heaven and Earth Society."
"These are all major secrets of the imperial court."
"The person who was able to leak this list is no ordinary person."
Liu Yuan nodded.
That's the truth. Even if the emperor were to investigate these people, he wouldn't be able to arrest them easily.
When doing things, timing and method are crucial.
If the leak of this list alerts the other party, it will be even more difficult to find specific clues.
"Based on your estimation, who are the people who have access to this list and whose names have been leaked?"
“General, this is top secret in the Seven Star Tower. The only people who can access it are the Tower Master and the new Four Directions Tower Masters sent by His Majesty.”
"Of course, the building owner's confidants, like myself, also have the opportunity to get in touch."
"Of course, only the main building owner and the four building owners can bring the list out. Others must remember it even if they come into contact with it, otherwise it will be a capital offense if it is found when they leave the house."
Liu Feng understood why Sun Dezhang knew so many secrets: it was because of his photographic memory, something no one else could do.
In other words...
This list could only have been leaked from the core high-level personnel of the Seven Star Building.
Could it be that someone deliberately used Qian Yang to send out this list, and that their target wasn't actually Qian Yang and Qian Mu, but me?
Liu Feng thought to himself, "If it weren't for this explanation, it wouldn't make sense."
Because no one has access to such top secrets.
If that's really the case, wouldn't it be a bit too complicated?
Moreover, Liu Feng already knew that the emperor had sent the Four Directions Tower Masters, effectively stripping the Tower Master of his power and making him no different from being placed under house arrest in the Seven Star Tower.
Liu Feng couldn't figure out the stakes involved for a moment.
We still have too little information.
"General..."
Sun Dezhang called out to Liu Feng.
"It's alright, there's no rush. Tell me more about the people you mentioned first."
Ten days later, in the capital.
Liu Feng didn't make a big fuss when he came out this time.
He didn't even bring his bodyguard, Dazhuang, with him, since everyone knew he had such a big guy by his side, and it would be easy for him to be discovered if he took him out.
He only took Yong Changshui with him when he left, and they rode at full speed all the way to the capital.
Upon arriving in the capital, the two went straight to Qian Yang's residence.
Qian Yang's residence in the capital was not bad. After all, he was a third-rank official of the imperial court, and he needed to maintain a certain image. Therefore, this house was perfect in terms of both location and construction.
After knocking, it was Qian Yang's old servant who opened the door.
This was also the time when Qian Yang was going home.
Yong Changshui was overjoyed to see that Qian Yang was still alive and unharmed.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two finally sat down in the house.
"General, we have finally met."
"My father mentioned the General many times in his letters. It is an honor for Qian Yang to meet the General today."
Although Qian Yang was a civil official, he was not thin and weak, and he also had some martial arts skills, so he looked very strong.
He bears a resemblance to Qian Mu, and despite his young age, he exudes a heroic spirit.
Liu Feng smiled and waved his hand, getting straight to the point.
Start asking questions.
