The drizzle was still falling, and the campsite was lit by fire. Although there were many people gathered on this hillside, the guards and officers were in good order, and they did not appear to be noisy, which showed the strict rules of the Iron Sky Eagle's camp.

The lights in the shack flickered, and when the young scholar named Cheng Zhouhai walked in, Tie Tianying assumed the gesture that he was on official business. For the people of the Secret Investigation Division, Tie Tianying will not ignore it, but he will not pay too much attention to it, and if he sees it in person, his posture will be enough, as for what the other party says, he can listen to it, but there is no need to do it, it is best that the other party can leave on his own after he finishes speaking, and it will not hurt his feelings over there.

When you look closely, although the man is not very old, his bearing seems calm. The robe was half wet, and he seemed to be in a hurry when he came, as if he had come to do some serious business. Tie Tianying admires people with this temperament more, but hates what the other party comes to him to "do". On the surface, he greeted him naturally and kindly, but he didn't expect that this young man would be a little disappointed in less than a few words.

The conversation after the greeting was actually a bit simple, because although the young man himself maintained a polite number, his words were not fast, but the meaning was a bit straight to the point.

“…… The Criminal Department handled the matter and escorted the bandits to Beijing, and it stands to reason that the Secret Investigation Department should not be involved in it. The young man smiled to show his apologies, "But this time Cheng heard something on the way south. Belch...... I had to come over and have a note with Tetsu-sama. ”

Tie Tianying looked indifferent: "Oh? I don't know what the road is. ”

That Cheng Zhouhai lowered his head and pondered for a moment before he spoke: "This time, Lord Tie and Master Zong are chasing Fang Baihua. There was no problem, and even in the middle of the layout, Cheng had to clap his hands and admire, but there was ...... Some people with special identities appeared, and the secret investigation department checked it. Some of these names, if they are put north, I am afraid that Qin Xiang, Mr. Ning and others will be a little worried, so Cheng Moucai came to the starry night to see the attitude of the Criminal Department on this matter. ”

Tie Tianying frowned: "...... But I don't know who these people with problematic identities are? ”

"Things are not yet decided. Cheng didn't want to say that there was a problem with the identity of these people......"

"Then Tie doesn't quite understand."

The room is relatively dimly lit. In the conversation between the two, except for the relatively fast greeting at the beginning, it seemed a little slow and logical at this time. The young man smiled simply and considered it.

"These things...... The Secret Investigation Division did not want to be directly involved. In fact. Iron Catcher has been in office for so many years. You should be careful, Cheng came here with sincerity. ”

"Please also ask Mr. Cheng to make it clear."

That Cheng Zhouhai glanced at him. The speed of his speech became faster, and he said: "In the past two years, the Fang Clan's bandits have shaken Tiannan, and the cause of this is rooted in the knot, presumably the iron catcher is also quite clear. With due respect, Manichaeism has developed rapidly in Jiangnan, although it has been bewitching a large number of ignorant and foolish people at the bottom, but it has really spread because it has also bewitched many wealthy families in Jiangnan, such as the Jiangnan Tang family, which scattered thousands of family fortunes for the Manichaean uprising, and in the process of rebellion, the Liu family has made a strong bully in the process of rebellion, in addition to Chen, Lu, Fang, and He...... Although it was the generals of the military department who defeated the bandits, it was the criminal department that investigated the matter after that. The Iron Catcher knows very well how many people have been killed in this, right? ”

Iron Aquila looked at him with a smile on his face, but did not speak. The anger in his heart gradually gathered, although this young man seemed to be calm, in fact, his inner heart was quite arrogant, not that there was anything wrong with the content of his words, but it accumulated, as if every word he said implied a condescending attitude.

"I have to come over and take a note", repeatedly playing tricks and talking half-talked. Although it is said that the officialdom is quite exquisite, but everyone is not familiar with it, and when it is said like this, it is still "tacitly understood", more than 80% of it may be in the conversation, this Chengzhouhai is in place, and it is not blunt, ordinary people may be deceived, Tie Tianying has been running for many years, how can it be yin by this method.

He didn't speak, but the young man also looked at him and smiled again: "The Secret Investigation Department and the Criminal Department all work for the imperial court, but they have their own duties, and the iron catcher also understands. Now the Northern Expedition is a real event, a grand event that has not been done for hundreds of years, and the Prime Minister is now in charge of integration and logistics, and the rear cannot be chaotic...... At the beginning, in order to deal with the bandits, the Secret Investigation Department spent great efforts in it. How is Fang Qifo and Fang Baihua, now for my secret investigation department, they are all trivial matters, but Manichaeism can't rise again. ”

Cheng Zhouhai said as he spoke, while standing on the edge of the table, his fingers pointed at the table, staring at his eyes, and at the moment when his pupils contracted slightly, he said one by one: "Sikong Nan." Can't get up again! ”

Tie Tianying's face sank, and he slowly stood up from that side, at this time he understood that the other party had indeed detected something. For a moment, the corners of his mouth pulled out a cold laugh: "Tie Mou...... I don't know what Mr. Cheng means specifically, and I don't know who Sikong Nan is, this round-up of Fang Baihua is indeed not only involved in the Criminal Department, but what is the specific identity of the person involved, Mr. Cheng has ......?"

"I don't care who it is!" The flames shook for a moment, Cheng Zhouhai slapped it on the table, Tie Tianying's eyes narrowed, and the young man took a step back and waved his hand, "I naturally know who it is!" But no one can do this matter, and there are still fewer big families who supported Manichaeism back then and were implicated? Now there are fewer heads? How many of them were desperate for rebellion, and naturally they were deceived by Manichaeism. Those people on top...... Wouldn't you be fooled? If Manichaeism resurrects the soul through the corpse, who can afford to bear this responsibility! ”

Of course, I am not responsible for this...... Iron Sky Aquila scoffed in his heart. The young man over there arched his hand.

"Cheng was angry at a certain time, and some offended Lord Tie, please forgive me. As Cheng said, the Secret Investigation Department is responsible for this part today, this time the matter can be big or small, Cheng has to come to meet Lord Tie first......"

Tie Tianying laughed: "Tie still doesn't know what Mr. Lu Daocheng means, there are some things. I'm afraid Mr. Cheng made a mistake. ”

"Right or wrong, Cheng also hopes that he has done something wrong. In short, the words have been spoken. The expression on Cheng Zhouhai's face had calmed down, and he arched his hand again, "Of course, whether it's right or wrong, it always has little to do with the Criminal Department at this time, but I just hope that if Lord Tie finds any clues in the future, he can make a living for the whole world and consider the benefits and disadvantages as much as possible." ”

He paused: "As for the Secret Investigation Division. There is not much manpower available in this place. But if you find any available news, you should also communicate with the iron catcher. Honestly, we ...... Now I hope that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible, so that there will be no extraneous complications. ”

Iron Sky Eagle smiled and nodded. At this time, he was already quite displeased with this young man who came to guide the country. But in officialdom. In many cases, polite refusal and not giving the other party anything substantial are the ways for big people to show displeasure.

Therefore, after a while, the other party spoke: "Cheng Mou once watched the Prime Minister's Mansion record." Fang Qifo, although he is a bandit, he is worthy of being a hero, he has been locked up here, I am afraid that something will be wrong, and I hope that the iron catcher can send him north as soon as possible...... In addition, I don't know if Lu Daocheng can see this person, what kind of appearance he looks like, and if he is curious, if the iron catcher can agree, he will only take a look at it from a distance. ”

Tie Tianying rejected him very kindly: "The Criminal Department has the rules of the Criminal Department, Fang Qifo is one of the bandits after all, these things cannot be accommodated, please Mr. Cheng Haihan." ”

These bookish and angry characters, who usually look at the country, are quite curious about some celebrities, after all, they have really met once, and they will have something to brag about in the future. After Iron Sky Eagle refused, the other party's face was obviously disappointed. But then he suppressed his unhappiness and said something else.

“…… The round-up of the other party's Baihua series this time is still very effective, but after all, the Fang bandit family has some background, and they are not stiff when they die, and some bandits are extremely vicious, and Cheng has also heard of it. What did the He family use a copper hammer, I'm afraid they haven't died yet......"

"Judging from the news this afternoon, a group of people are afraid that they have gone to Yuzhen...... In addition, there seems to be a loophole in the search and arrest in Qi Village......"

"The gang of people in the sword camp is also a problem, the martial arts of the towering sword Du Kill and others have been perfected, and the woman Liu Xigua ...... I heard that her knife has now been lost to you, but she herself is not dead, and it is still difficult to deal with......"

"And ......"

As if he wanted to show the greatest sincerity, the young man then said something that was substantial. Of course, among these words, due to the limited intelligence collected by the Secret Investigation Division, Tie Tianying still disdains to listen to a lot of news, and occasionally casually perfunctory, but it is also the opposite.

"I'm afraid Yu Zhen is clean, right...... That's what we're missing......"

"Towering Knife Kill...... Well, he's still amazing......"

"Liu Watermelon's knife is here, she is naturally dead."

The other side looked at him with a smile: "Don't laugh at the iron catcher, although she has no knife, the person has escaped......"

Tie Tianying smiled, did not refute or confirm, this kind of thing itself is not important, and there is no need to say more, the other party stared at him for a while, and waved his hand again: "Whatever." Then he said a few other things before he took his leave.

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

In the flickering firelight, a swift pace passed through the camp. The splash of mud wet the hem of the robe, and Zhu Biao followed from behind.

Due to Ning Yi's arrangement, the one who accompanied him here today was Zhu Biao alone. After figuring out the news here in the afternoon, Ning Yi hurried over, went in for a short time, and came out in a hurry at this time, until he left the gate of the camp, he stopped and sighed. Zhu Biao frowned from behind and asked, "That watermelon ......?"

"She's not dead." Ning Yi stood there with an umbrella and exhaled, "Besides, it's really Sikong Nan ...... behind it."

Zhu Biao nodded, but he didn't understand for a while, he still had this attitude because the other party had nothing to do.

Ning Yi held an umbrella and stood in the darkness outside the camp, looked down and thought for a while, and when he looked into the distance, his eyes were slightly solemn.

In the current situation, this is already an undoubted life-and-death situation, and determining that Watermelon was not killed because of the loss of the knife does not prove that she is alive. He has a gambling personality since he was a child, and then he has seen more and experienced more things step by step, and gradually he can grasp the development of many events, and he has a foundation for all operations. But in the situation in front of him, he could only sigh first after all.

I don't have a grasp of nature, and I don't know where to find it. Even though all he hoped was that the two of them, Watermelon and Chen Fan, could live—of course, maybe a few people with a little bit of the sword, but ...... It's the same thing, and now he doesn't even see the whole picture. Thinking like this, when Chen Fan was about to get the carriage, someone suddenly came on a galloping horse, but it was a subordinate of the Secret Investigation Department, who obviously had important information and came to look for him.

“…… Fang just found out the news, among the remnants of the bandits, the group of people with the account books went all the way north, and now they have entered the range of two hundred miles in the vicinity, and the criminal department and the people on the other side may be searching for them with all their might, and some of them are dead and injured...... It seems that this person is here to save Fang Baihua and them......"

Ning Yi thought for a while and nodded: "Go back." ”

On the other hand, in the camp shack, Iron Skyhawk had been pacing back and forth for some time with his hands behind his back. After a while, a subordinate came in.

"Go and contact the capital...... Look up a person. He frowned, "The right prime minister's mansion is a guest, Cheng Cheng Zhouhai, I want to know who this person is." (To be continued......)
