Chapter 383
Saving people is fine in a peaceful event, but when you don't even have food to eat, it's too luxurious.
The other party obviously didn't think that he would be saved, so when he said this thanks, he chewed out a reluctant taste.
The man who even stinked sat down next to Xie Bai, quite funny, "What's the reason to thank or not, a rich son like you can come to hell like Jiangnan on earth, in fact, it is us who should say thank you." “
"I can't believe that the richest part of the empire has fallen to this point. It's ridiculous that everyone is still unconscious. I think if it weren't for the plague, I'm afraid the whole south would have fallen long ago. “
Xie Bai sat down against the wall and gasped heavily.
He had been injured in the fight against those disasters just now, and the blood beads were gushing out all the time.
The man also leaned his back against the wall, "Do you know what this place is?" “
"I don't know. “
"This used to be the training ground of Jiangnan River Mansion. That person's voice was very sad, "Hundreds of thousands of Jiangnan children have practiced here, let themselves have martial arts, and then defend their families and the country." ”
This person used to be the deputy general under Pei Shengjie, and he can be regarded as a figure who can lead a party. Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent, and a general like him who fights on the battlefield can only shrink in this barren land now, without hope.
Xie Bai didn't know what to say, so he could only slam his fists on the floor twice to show the unspeakable anger in his heart.
"Before leaving, the young master once said that if I could wait for a person in the capital, then most of them would be the children of the Xie family or the Fu family, but I didn't expect it to really make me wait. Rest here for a while, and I'll give you all the letters. ”
That person looked like those who used to beg for food on the streets of the capital, very embarrassed, and Xie Bai was a little curious about how he survived.
"What the hell is going on, I don't believe that hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Jiangnan River Road Mansion are gone. For such a big thing, there was no news in Beijing. ”
"Naturally, there will be no news. A few months ago, there were frequent disasters in Jiangnan. First there was a catastrophe and then a flood, and the local magistrates had neither the strategy nor the power to deal with it. Therefore, Master Pei wrote to the court several times, but there was no response. ”
"How could it be ......" Xie Bai was shocked, if someone really stopped such a letter, what was the other party's intentions.
"yes, how could it be. In such a magnificent disaster, the towns in the south of the Yangtze River were affected one after another, and the people used up their grain reserves, and this season's grain was not in the treasury. At the beginning, Master Pei hoped that the imperial court would deal with this matter, but the local officials were full of personal affairs and fled with most of their families. The door was closed and there was no intention of dealing with the disaster. The people can't wait......"
"So Pei Shengjie took the military rations to disaster relief?" Xie Bai felt that something in his head exploded, and his eyes were white and white, and he began to see clearly.
He touched the stone fragments on the ground, and felt that there was no more pain.
However, why is it still uncomfortable?
The army of Jiangnan River Mansion is used to protect the sailors of the Jiangnan side, if the military rations are used to relieve the disaster, this matter is known, and the army will be in turmoil, and the consequences will be ......
"Yes. The general moved half of the army's rations, but what did the people in the army eat in this way? The adjutant general's voice was quite soft, and now the damned ones are gone, and when he said this, he realized that it was as unreal as a dream, and it seemed that ...... It's the hardest thing to be alive.
"At first, I didn't know how the news leaked out, only that the entire Hedao Mansion knew about General Pei's misappropriation of military rations, but the lower-level soldiers didn't know the reason, thinking that he had taken the grain and grass and sold it. Later, someone plotted against him, and even made Ji kill the general, and he ...... Cook him in front of everyone. The general has a clear life, and he has never been ashamed of anyone, how can he not be hated if he ends up with such a result. ”
"Originally, the people of Hedao Mansion could still maintain law and order, but as soon as the general died, the hearts of the people were scattered. The well-trained army actually escaped. If it weren't for the little general's efforts to turn the tide, I'm afraid of our group of people...... They all died in vain. ”
"Pei Yi?"
mentioning this name, Xie Bai was still very ashamed, they were all of the same age, but their life experiences were so different.
Pei Yi is a responsible person, but he is subject to the family and has been a shrinking turtle several times. Xie Bai felt that he was really not a thing, "What did Pei Yi do?"
"Little general...... He's the only person I respect in my life. is still young, but he is upright, and he is not ambiguous at all when he fights. Do you know how serious the sea disaster in Jiangnan was, the little general had a unique vision, trained the navy, not only exterminated the lawless pirates, but also opened the port. It's a pity...... People are finally not counted. That's it...... I've said so much today. ”
He staggered to his feet and walked behind a pile of rocks.
Only then did Xie Bai see that there was a hole behind the rags in that place. And this man was also wounded, and his legs were covered with blood, but he didn't even bite a word.
A moment later, the man came out with a cloth wrap and two hard cakes.
At this time, no one had anything to eat, he still had bread, and Xie Bai's face had changed.
"The last two pies. I know you haven't eaten in a long time, so let's break up. ”
He handed him the hard cake and gave Xie Bai a few letters, "The little general said that you can only give this thing to you, but fortunately, I did it." ”
Xie Bai didn't care about eating bread, he quickly opened every letter, and after reading all the letters, he was stupid.
I have long known that ordinary people have no courage in this incident, but if the prince of a country is involved, it will make everyone in the world feel cold.
Zhao Mingchen is used to coming here, this Xie Bai knows, but at most, he just kills a few people and does some bad things. He actually colluded with the people around Pei Shengjie, which was surprising.
If it weren't for this catastrophe, maybe this could only be regarded as a premeditated plan by the prince to ascend the throne in advance, but this incident changed everything's direction.
From these letters, it cannot be fully pointed out that the prince was involved in the grain robbery case, but some of the six departments were involved, which is so damning.
Xie Bai couldn't even hold those letters, "I must make them pay, otherwise, there will be no reason." “
Compared to Xie Bai's anger, that person was much calmer, he seemed to have become numb, "I don't want to see the end of those people, I just hope that if Gongzi Xie has the opportunity in the future, he can serve my Dao Mansion." “
Not being able to wrap the body in horse leather is the biggest regret of the soldiers, but what is even more regrettable is that they can't even understand why they ended up like this.
Xie Bai stopped talking, packed up the few important letters, and then took out the hard cakes on the side and began to nibble on them one by one.
It's still a long way from the capital, and he doesn't know if there is any killing waiting for him in the middle, and he must make sure that he has enough strength......
*
The search of the forbidden army in Beijing has continued, but the progress is very slow, and the reason for correcting it is more because Yueniang wants to save them and search for dignitaries. It's easy to say if it's in other places, but in this Beijing, it's not an ordinary dignitary, and it's often related to the emperor's character.
Offending others may be exculpable, but offending the royal family, no amount of head is enough.
The movement is loud, but the wind is loud and the rain is small.
Yueniang doesn't care, the only way now is to dig three feet into the ground to find out the jewelry.
And the progress of the grain and grass robbery is completely stopped.
Fu Ruiyuan lost contact with Fu Mingxuan, and he couldn't find his old friend who was good at solving cases, he didn't know this way, and the only way was to spread the news, saying that there was someone in the know, and the reward would be a thousand dollars.
Under the heavy reward, there is a lot of news, but it is often fake, so they don't make any progress and waste a lot of time.
There are only seven days left before the half-moon period he ordered.
The Fu family is in chaos, and Fu Ruiyuan can't care about what Yueniang is doing.
Compared with these people, the lives of many dignitaries in Beijing are obviously much better. For example, in Ke Mansion, Ke Zheng collected many beautiful women to drink and have fun all day long.
He wants to see how Fu Ruiyuan will get out at that time, and issue a military order in front of the emperor and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, as long as the real culprit cannot be found within the time limit, it is a big crime of bullying the king, how can he be a soldier with such ability. Hmph, when the time comes, the Fu family will disappear from this world.
That amorous grandson, it's time to take care of it.
Ke Zheng didn't know his grandson, and maybe he couldn't really understand his grandson, and he stupidly thought that the child was still under his control, and let him say one thing and two things to point to the deer as a horse.
But how did he know that Ke Xun had already changed now.
His heart was full of hatred, revenge, and desire.
Compared with Ke Zheng, who only dreams in the corner, Ke Xun actually adapts well to the environment of the capital. He knows what he wants, and he knows how to get along with the powerful.
It's just a pity that there is one person he will never be able to calculate. Even if he told himself every day that they were already people from two worlds and two camps, he couldn't control his heart.
He'll know what's going on with her, how bold and crazy she's and how dangerous she is.
There have been many changes in the past few days, Ke Xun doesn't go out much, and he knows that the prince probably doesn't want to see him anymore. Such a shameful thing, even if the prince has such a cold personality, he is not willing to swagger around, and he is also idle.
Since everyone is waiting to watch a good show, he has more time to care about Yueniang.
Ke Xun knew that Yueniang had the emperor's gold medal order on her, and he also knew that she would definitely not be at ease.
He knew her, but he was more worried about her.
Which of these things is not linked to the powerful and the forces behind them, and those people can't do anything for their own interests. She is a little girl, who can she fight.
However, Ke Xun found that he didn't dare to appear in front of Yueniang at all, and since the last time he was in Fu Mansion, he didn't even want to think about this person for a long time. But people's memories are sometimes so strange, they want to forget a person, but the news of that person is full of his surroundings.
Yueniang stabbed the sky, how could there be no thunder......
Ke Xun found himself smelling a hint of danger, and he became more and more worried about Yueniang. Behind this seeming calm, it is very likely that there is a bloody storm that is about to happen.
Those people and things may be hidden in the shadows, just waiting for one day to be ruthless and bite her to death.
In front of Ke Zheng, there was not enough one person to enjoy the dance and music, and he found a lot of people to accompany him to make trouble. Ke Xun could hear the laughter of those people in the side courtyard, piercing his ears, which hurt very much.
He finally decided to change his clothes and go out to find Yueniang.
He didn't have to say anything to her, just look at her from a distance and keep her safe.
On Yueniang's side, things have the latest developments, it turns out that Zale thought about Yueniang's words left and right in the official post, and finally suspected Zama.
If he really wants to stop this, he doesn't have to do anything, just provide information for those people. It's just that he hasn't been able to understand how Zama and the Central Plains civilization are connected to these Central Plains people.
Of course, Zale was a wise prince, so he came up with a way to tell the Central Plains court that they were bored in Beijing and wanted to find a guide to accompany the mission around for a few days.
The people of the Mobei mission were originally to stay and wait for news, and people came all the way to give you a dowry gift, but someone stole something on your territory, and they were already wronged, and it is necessary to greet you well.
The emperor was quite good, and sent people from the Ministry of Rites to greet Zale and they were in the capital, but the officials worked hard, but Zale's original purpose was not to have fun.
He had been secretly observing, originally only with a glimmer of expectation, but he actually discovered that one of the two people sent by Zama in the mission was secretly in contact with the Central Plains.
However, this person was extremely cunning, and after finding out that he was being followed, he actually killed the Central Plains people.
And then he also smeared the other party for wanting to rob him, Zale has no evidence, this kind of sensitive time is not good to talk nonsense, and because he is Zama's person, there is no way to interrogate him strictly.
But Zale believed in his eyes, this person had a private contact with the Central Plains, and the behavior of the two people was so abnormal, there must be something wrong.
What's the problem, he is not very good at it, and he doesn't believe in those flattering officials, so he can only find Yueniang and Zhang San and Li Si.
He believes in Yueniang, this girl is sincere in her eyes, she is different from those who only know how to get power.
Yueniang, Zhang San and Li Si were very surprised when they got the news, so they naturally roared and went to the official post. Zale didn't say much, but briefly explained the situation and took the three men to meet the person who had been tied up.
Yueniang didn't panic when she saw that person tied to the ground, and she knew that he had the bottom in his heart.
"Zhang San and Li Si, this person looks like he knows that he is a hard bone, you two have met a lot, right...... Over to you. “
The talents in Shuntian Mansion are in charge of large and small cases in the capital, and the two of them have caught a lot of so-called bullish thieves and heroes on the rivers and lakes, this small role is too simple.
"Don't worry, Zale, these two are masters of various interrogators, just leave it to him. “
She and Zale came out of the prisoner's room, and Yueniang asked him if the khan knew about the matter and if he had replied, but he had not received the news.
"Hopefully this will work out. Yueniang rubbed her eyebrows, and slept on the mat all night, but it still didn't work.
Fortunately, she is young, so it is not a big problem to survive so occasionally.
Zale and Yueniang are not very familiar, and they are in this kind of period, and neither of them has anything to say.
Several screams rang out from time to time in the interrogation room, and Zahler frowned, worried about whether they would kill someone.
That's Zama's person, if there is evidence, he will still say the past, but if there is no evidence, the dead shemale will fight with him nine times out of ten.
Yueniang smiled, "Don't worry, these two people's techniques are professional, look ......"
Zama sent two people, and if there was really a problem, it couldn't be that only one had a problem. But there is only one contact, and out of consideration of not affecting Zama's relationship, Zale only arrested one, but Yueniang knew that both of them must have problems.
If something happens to his companion, he must be worried. It's just that if they think their companions are clever enough, they won't be discovered.
They simply expected that Zal would not do anything to them because of his scruples, but how could they be so stupid that they didn't know where they were.
This is on the land of the Central Plains.
In the city of thousands of miles in the Central Plains, how could it be that even two prisoners could not be dealt with.
Yueniang watched with satisfaction that the companion was about to rush upstairs, and then Zale's face changed, he understood, and almost without thinking about it, he grabbed the person and screwed it next to Yueniang.
"You're worried about your companion?"
The man didn't speak, just stared at Yueniang with a pair of red eyes, as if he was going to eat her. The color of the eyes of the foreigner was different, and Yueniang felt uncomfortable when she saw it, and she almost slapped that person in the face, "What are you staring at, answer my words honestly." ”
The man spoke a bird language that Yueniang didn't understand, and then Zale's face turned very ugly.
She knew that these two people must be able to understand and speak Chinese, and their foreign language was nothing more than a threat to Zaler not to do this to them without evidence.
Sample. Yueniang slapped her again, "Your Royal Highness the Prince is a guest of my empire, and he still speaks the language of the Central Plains according to the local customs. What kind of thing are you, you dare to disrespect my Central Plains customs. If a subordinate dares to do this, I will be able to cut you down immediately."
That person really glared at Yueniang very angrily, and even kicked her with his foot. If it weren't for the fact that she was wringed by Zale, she even suspected that this person would have rushed up and killed her immediately.
Zale didn't expect this person to be so impulsive, and after a few words, he moved his hand at Yueniang and kicked him in the leg, "Don't kneel down yet." ”
This person's mental quality should not be high, otherwise he would not have rushed out as soon as he heard the screams of his companions.
Yueniang stared at him with great amusement, "Do you want to kill me?" Ah, I know you can speak Chinese, so it's best to be able to communicate with me normally, or I'll kill you right now. His Royal Highness the Prince will not do anything to you, but I am not from your Mobei, and you are just a subordinate, I will give you any charge if the emperor is far away, do you still naively think that someone will come to call the shots for you?"
Her feet tapped the ground with a touch of hypnosis.
The man was smart, "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”
In the end, he still spoke Chinese, but as soon as he said it, Yueniang laughed.
She raised her eyebrows at Zale, "Among you Mobei people, there are still such interesting ones. ”
Zal is a prince on the grassland, although he is not as powerful as the prince in the eyes of the Central Plains, he is also very noble, and people who are praised everywhere he goes are ridiculed by a little girl.
But he still can't find a reason to refute it, how can this not make people angry.
As soon as he slammed his strength, the man's bones clicked, and he let out a scream, as well as screams from the interrogation room upstairs.
The voices of the two people are mixed together, and they can be as scary as they are.
Yueniang looked at the person who was kneeling on the ground by Zale, and saw that his face was getting whiter and paler, and estimated that it was almost the same, so she asked, "Say, what did your master tell you to do? Who will you contact after coming here, and what is the purpose." ”
Yueniang's voice was a little careless, and coupled with her young age, she couldn't bluff people at all. That person didn't think that Yueniang was a person who would be harmful to himself, so he could be said to be a good cynicist about her behavior.
"Little girl, do you know who I am, I am a member of General Zama, and your emperor must also give courtesy. How can you slander me like this? ”
Yueniang almost wanted to knock this pig's brain open, "You don't look at who the person behind you is, no matter how powerful your master is, isn't it as big as His Royal Highness the Prince?" Do you think I really can't do anything about you?"
In the upstairs room, there was a sudden scream like killing a pig.
Yueniang raised her eyebrows at this person, "See, it's my subordinates who are interrogating your companions now, and they are professional interrogators of you who think you are hard-boned." There are ways to make you open your mouth, and sooner or later you will say, why bother. ”
"Say, you are slandering, I will sue you. Your Royal Highness, you can't follow this little girl against us. I know you have a grudge against the general, but you can't deal with us because of this, we are all innocent. ”
Yueniang suddenly got up from her chair and walked to Zale's side in two steps, "Your Royal Highness, let him go." If you are not convenient for this person, leave it to me. ”
She is short and thin-handed, Zal looked at Yueniang very suspiciously, although this person has no fists and feet, but the people who are better than them are tall and big, so they have a lot of strength.
Can she be a little girl?
"Your Royal Highness, you can rest assured that I have a way to deal with him. Yueniang comforted Zale, although she said that she could call her name in private, but she felt that it was better to call her an honorific title when there were outsiders.
Zale has also known a little bit about Yueniang recently, this little girl looks like an ordinary person, but she has done several things that people can't dream of.
