"There were four people coming back from the north."

Every household in the courtyard on the street is lit up, letting a little light penetrate into the street, and the sound of children running, chickens and dogs barking can be heard in the distance, Ning Yi and his party are walking on the road at the edge of Zhang Village, Peng Yueyun and Ning Yi are parallel, and whisper about Tang Minjie.

“…… In addition to Tang Minjie, there is another woman, the sister of a regiment commander named Luo Ye in the army, who has been tortured a lot and has a bad brain, and after arriving in Hanzhong, she stayed there temporarily. In addition, there are two Han people with good martial arts, one is called Yu Shuinan, and the other is called Wei Su, who is a green forest knight who follows the Han lady in the north. ”

“…… After the four people were found in Hanzhong, the first round of inquiries was conducted. Tang Minjie...... confessed to what he had done, and in the clouds, it was he who violated discipline and ordered Mrs. Han, so he instigated the confrontation between the east and the west. And that Mrs. Han rescued him, handed over Luo Ye's sister to him, so that he couldn't help but come back, and then secretly sent Yu Shuinan and Wei Su to escort the two of them south......"

Because of the complexity of this matter, Hanzhong separated the four people and sent two people to escort Tang Minjie back to Chengdu, while Yu Shuinan and Wei Su were escorted by another team, and the difference between arrival in Chengdu was less than half a day. After my initial interrogation, I rushed to bring the transcript with me...... The matter of the dispute between the Jurchen and the East and the West has now been spread in the newspapers of Chengdu, but no one knows the inside story yet, and Yu Shuinan and Wei Su have been placed under protective house arrest for the time being. ”

Ning Yi and Peng Yueyun walked in front, and Hongti and Lin Jingmei chatted in the back. When Peng Yueyun finished talking about Tang Minjie, Ning Yi glanced at him: "Preliminary interrogation...... What are you trying that you don't count in your own mind? ”

"Tang ......" Peng Yueyun hesitated for a moment, and then said, "...... Senior he...... confessed to all crimes, and there was not much conflict with the statements of Yu Shuinan and Wei Su. In fact, according to Yu and Wei's thoughts, they wanted to kill the senior, and the senior himself ......"

Peng Yueyun was silent for a moment: "He looks ...... I don't seem to want to live anymore. ”

The words were said lightly, but in the end, there was a slight sourness in them. Men are as determined as iron, and there are many tough guys in the Huaxia Army who regard death as home, Peng Yueyun has long been used to it, but only in Tang Minjie - on the one hand, he has experienced unspeakable torture on his body, but he still survived, but on the other hand, he has the will to die because of what he did. This unsolvable contradiction is moving even in understatement.

Ning Yi also walked forward in silence, his gaze falling on the darkness in the distance of the village.

"Yu Shuinan and Wei Su said that they brought Mrs. Han's words down, but in fact, they didn't bring any tokens that could prove this matter."

"Yes." Peng Yueyun nodded, "Before leaving, that lady just asked them to bring that sentence, Tang Minjie's talent is good for the world, please let him live." Yu and Wei once asked the lady about the token, and asked if she wanted to bring a letter to us, but the lady said no, and she said...... It doesn't matter if you can't bring the words, and it doesn't matter if you don't have a testimony for death...... These statements have been recorded......"

In the night, Ning Yi's footsteps slowed down and took a deep breath in the darkness. Whether it is him or Peng Yueyun, of course, they can understand Chen Wenjun's intention of not leaving a token. It is beneficial for the Huaxia Army to provoke a struggle between the eastern and western governments by such means and to confront the overall situation of Jin, but as long as the course of the matter is revealed, it will inevitably fall into accusations because Tang Minjie's methods are too fierce.

The merits and demerits of later generations are still secondary, and now that the Jin Kingdom has not been destroyed, talking about this matter in private, it is possible to have a war of words against the Huaxia Army's sacrifice of allies. And Chen Wenjun did not leave any tokens for this matter, Huaxia Jun's denial or turning around would be more reasonable, this choice was extremely rational for the anti-Jin, but it was extremely ruthless for himself.

“…… It's a pity. Ning Yi opened his mouth and said, his voice slightly hoarse, "More than ten years ago, when Qin Lao was imprisoned and handed over the affairs of the Secret Investigation Division, he told me about this secret son left at the top of the Jin Kingdom...... said that she was pitiful, but not necessarily controllable, she was the daughter of an old friend of Qin Lao, and she happened to be in that position, and she should have been rescued......"

The old man said that if possible, he hoped to give her a good end in the future. What a fucking end...... Now that she is so great, these things that Tang Minjie has done are nothing. What are we-"

His last sentence was angry and heavy, and Hongti and Lin Jingmei, who were walking behind, couldn't help but look up when they heard it.

After calming down, the group continued to walk forward. After a while, leaving the riverbank, there were many pedestrians on the road, mostly people who came back from the wedding banquet, and when they saw Ning Yi and Hongti, they came over to say hello.

Regarding Tang Minjie, this is all I can discuss with Peng Yueyun. That night, Ning Yi, Su Tan'er and others chatted with Lin Jingmei about emotional matters again, and when they called Peng Yueyun again the next morning, they said to him: "You and Jingmei, find a time to propose." ”

sighed again: "This is the first time I have married my daughter...... That's enough. ”

In retrospect, his heart was actually unusually cold. Many years ago, with Lao Qin going to Beijing, and then recruiting troops in the name of the Secret Investigation Division, a large number of green forest masters were actually cannon fodder in his eyes. At that time, there were decent figures such as Qin Donghan and Lin Nian, the "Five Phoenix Knife", as well as evil masters like Chen Huozi, it didn't matter to him, he used power to control people, and used interests to drive people, and that's it.

Who knew that along the way, so many people slowly fell on the road, and these people gradually became important in his heart. When the Jurchens went south for the first time, Lin Nian fought on the battlefield until the oil ran out, Ning Yi accepted the yellow-haired girl as a righteous daughter, and in a blink of an eye, the little girl was twenty-four or five years old, fortunately, she didn't continue to like He Wen stupidly, and now she can be with Peng Yueyun, this kid is a heroic martyr in the Western Army, and now he can be called a one-man affairs officer, and he is finally worthy of Lin Nian's entrustment back then.

"I will personally inquire about Tang Minjie's affairs after I go back to Chengdu." Ning Yi said: "Here I will grant you two days off, discuss the next things with Jingmei and your Aunt Su, and Jingmei's work can also be transferred to Chengdu in the future." ”

"Chairman, Tang Minjie ......"

"I know he saved your life. Don't bother with him. ”

“…… Be. ”

*****************

The three boys in the family are not in Zhangcun now-Ning Xi and Chuyi went to Chengdu, Ning Ji ran away from home, and after Lao San Ninghe was sent to the countryside to endure hardship, there were a few lovely daughters left in the family here.

In the morning, I said goodbye to my daughters who were going to school, and after meeting some people, including Peng Yueyun and Lin Jingmei, and explaining what happened here, the time was close to noon. Ning Yi got on the carriage to Chengdu and waved goodbye to Tan'er, Xiaochan, Hongti and others. The carriage carried a few winter clothes to bring to Ning Xi and the first year of junior high school, as well as the roast chicken that Ning Xi liked to eat, which symbolized her mother's love.

Handle government affairs in the car, and improve the arrangements for the next day's meeting. Ate the roast chicken. In his spare time to deal with affairs, he considered the disposal of Tang Minjie and did not make a decision.

As Peng Yueyun said, Ning Yi's side actually has troubles every day. Tang Minjie's question can only be regarded as one of the small things.

After arriving in Chengdu, it was almost late at night, and I explained to the secretariat the next day's meeting. The next morning, first of all, the secretariat reported on the new situation in recent days, and then there were several meetings, some about the dead people in the mines, some about the research of new crops in the farms, and some responses to the new situation after the conflict between the east and west provinces of Jinguo - this meeting has been held several times, the most important thing is related to the layout of Jindi, Liangshan and other places, because the place is too far away, it is very kind of paper to meddle indiscriminately, but considering that the situation in Bianliang is also about to change, if more roads can be opened, By strengthening material support for the troops on the Yangsan front, the initiative can still be greatly increased in the future.

"At this stage, the only springboard to help Liangshan materially is still in Jindi. But according to the latest information, the female prime minister of Jindi chose to bet on Zou Xu in the next Central Plains War. Sooner or later, we will have to face a problem, that is, although this Lou Xiang is willing to give us some food to keep our team alive in Liangshan, she may not want to see Liangshan's team grow......"

"Can you talk to He Wen over there?"

"According to He Wen's approach, even if he is willing to join forces with us and help something, it will be difficult to resume large-scale production within the next year...... They are now pointing to swallow Lin'an. ”

"The little emperor has a sea ship over there, and he has kept some belongings over there, if he wants, it seems that he can supplement some food and weapons."

"Even if the little emperor is willing to give, there is nothing on the Liangshan side, how can he trade?"

"Borrow a little credit with our credit?"

"Don't forget that Wang Shanyue is the little emperor's person, even if the little emperor can save a little belongings, he will definitely support Wang Shanyue first...... However, although it is unlikely, we should still give Liu Chengzong and Zhu Biao the power to negotiate in this regard, and let them actively contact the small court in the southeast. In this way, it is also convenient to conduct relatively reciprocal negotiations with Jindi. ”

"But according to the character of Jin Di Louxiang, will this move anger her? So that she can find an excuse to stop helping Liang Shan? ”

"The woman is very calculating, but she can really do it if she pretends to be sprinkled. Fortunately, she traded with Zou Xu first, we can first condemn her, and if she gets angry in the future, we can find a reason. After all, the technology transfer with Jindi is still going on, and she won't do too much ......"

Everyone chattered and discussed, and later, some people also raised the question of whether to talk to Zou Xuxu and the snake for the time being. Of course, this proposal was only expressed as an objective view, and after a little discussion, it was dismissed.

After the meeting, the condemnation of Lou Shuwan had been at least tentatively finalized, in addition to the public criticism, Ning Yi also had to write a letter to scold her in private, and inform Zhan Wu and Xue Guangcheng to act angry, to see if they could temporarily pick out a little from the materials that Lou Shuwan sold to Zou Xu and send them to Liangshan.

In fact, the distance between the two sides is too far after all, according to speculation, if the balance between the Jurchen and the east and west has been broken, according to the characters of Liu Chengzong, Zhu Biao, Wang Shanyue and others, the team over there may already be preparing to send troops to do things. And when the condemnation from this side is over, it is possible that a battle will be over, and the southwest can only try its best to give some help to that side, and believe that the front-line staff will have flexible operations.

The letter condemning Lou Shuwan is not easy to write, and the letter also mentions some personality analysis about Zou Xu, so as not to be deceived by Zou Xu in the next transaction. In this way, it was close to evening after writing the letter, and Ning Yi, who finally had some free time, got into the carriage and prepared to meet Tang Minjie, during this period, he couldn't help but think of Zou Xu, Tang Minjie, Qu Zhengyan, Lin Qiu, Xu Shaoyuan, Peng Yueyun, these young people who were brought out by themselves.

In the few years that the Huaxia Army was in Xiaocanghe, Ning Yi brought out a lot of talents, in fact, the most important thing was the experience of the three years of cruel war, many originally talented young people died, and many of them Ning Yi still remembered, and could even remember how they suddenly disappeared in one war after another.

The most powerful one who can stay now is of course Qu Zhengyan, but Qu Zhengyan's talent in the art of war Ning Yi thinks that he can't teach it, it's just that the pure wild talent was stimulated by the war. In addition to Qu Zhengyan, among the students who survived at that time, Ning Yi was once the most optimistic about Zou Xu.

In the political arena - especially as a leader - Ning Yi knew that this kind of protégé disciple's emotions were not a good thing, but after all, he brought them out by hand, understood them more deeply, and used them relatively handily, so it was inevitable for him to treat this matter differently in his heart.

Among those students, Tang Minjie is actually not in the ranks that Ning Yi particularly likes. The little fat man back then thought too much, but a lot of his thinking was gloomy and useless - in fact, there was nothing wrong with gloomy thoughts themselves, but if they were useless, at least for Ning Yi at that time, he wouldn't have put too much thought into him.

But in the later cruel war stage, Tang Minjie survived, and had two quite beautiful high-risk actions in extreme environments - his danger is different from Qu Zhengyan, Qu Zhengyan walked a tightrope in an extreme environment, in fact, he subconsciously went through the correct calculation, and Tang Minjie is more like a pure adventure, of course, he can come up with ideas in extreme environments and take risks, which itself can be regarded as an ability beyond ordinary people - many people will lose their minds in extreme environments, Or cowering and not being willing to make a choice, that's the real waste.

Then the Huaxia army was transferred from the Xiaocang River and difficult to withdraw, and the team where Tang Minjie served as a staff officer encountered several difficulties. And perhaps because he had experienced too many extreme situations, and then found that his methods were fierce and almost brutal in Liangshan, this became a rather nerve-wracking problem for Ning Yi.

He had no choice but to send him to the Northland to cooperate with Lu Mingfang to take charge of the implementation of the operation.

In fact, if I think about it carefully, if it weren't for the fact that his ability to act was already very powerful at that time, almost copying many of his acting characteristics back then, and his excessive bias in his methods, I am afraid that he would not have appeared so prominent in his eyes.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the lightly walled and gray-tiled courtyard on the east side of the city—this was the courtyard where Chen Shanjun, Li Ximing and others had been temporarily detained—Ning Yi got out of the car, and the time was close to evening, and the sun was falling on the courtyard within the high walls, with vines crawling on the courtyard walls and moss in the corners.

Tang Minjie is reading a book.

- The window of the room where he lived was open, and the setting sun shone obliquely through the window, so that he could be seen reading at his desk. Hearing someone's footsteps, he looked up, then stood up.

Ning Yi walked through the courtyard and walked into the room, Tang Minjie put his legs together and raised his hands to salute - he was no longer the little fat man he was back then, he had a scar on his face, the corners of his lips were pursed and the corners of his mouth could see the twisted gaps, there were solemn and sad ups and downs in his slightly narrowed eyes, there were twisted flesh on the fingers of his salute, and even if his thin body tried to stand up straight, he didn't look like a soldier, but there seemed to be something more persistent than a soldier in the middle.

Ning Yi also saluted him, he looked at him solemnly, and after a long time like this, he put his hand down.

"I thought about it all the way. What is the difference between you doing this kind of thing and Dai Mengwei. ”

“…… There is no difference, disciple ......" Tang Minjie just blinked, and then replied in a calm voice, "What I did is an unforgivable crime, Tang Minjie...... Confession, prostration. Also, I feel like being able to come back here and stand trial...... Well, I feel happy. With tears in his eyes, he smiled, "I'm done." ”

"......" Ning Yi was silent for a moment, and finally took a deep breath, "...... Then sit down. ”

Tang Minjie sat down, and the setting sun fell on his face through the open window.
