Zhang Ning's carriage turned and drove towards Miyagi.

"Your Majesty, the messenger of Warat was a street mediator and played with the people's girls, and the commander of the thousand fell on the street and killed a young child, and he has been taken down and temporarily locked up in the edict." Zhang Ning sat down and reported the results of the murder committed by the Warat envoy on the street.

The purpose of sending Batu to prison is to extract information about Warat from his mouth, and this must be done quickly, otherwise I am afraid that things will change. When Batu was taken down, Zhang Ning had quietly ordered Hong Xiaohe to interrogate him as soon as possible.

Zhu Qizhen was very surprised, and said, "The envoy of Warat is willing to admit his guilt? ”

The deputy envoy Gessel threatened to raise troops to attack, but the minister was unmoved, and after a verbal confrontation, he took down the envoy Batu and others. Hmph, they can't help it, and the minister decided to use this incident as an opportunity to torture Batu. In front of Zhu Qizhen, Zhang Ning made no secret of his true purpose.

No matter how many secret agents are dispatched, it is not as good as the intelligence that is prying from the mouths of Batu and others, it is rare to have such an opportunity, how could Zhang Ning let it go?

It is expected that Gessel also understands, but he is under the eaves, so he has to bow his head, seeing that Zhang Ning has a tough attitude, and Batu and the others are in his hands, it is better to push the boat down the river, sacrifice a few people, and save everyone. It is estimated that he will repeatedly ask the emperor to receive him, ask for a reward at the meeting, and then leave the capital as soon as possible.

It's a pity that before Zhang Ning sent Yang Rong away from Yunhong Temple, he had instructed Zhang Shaotong to delay as much as possible. When the sharpshooter battalion was in place and formed a siege, Gessel was under house arrest, and everything was even more unbearable for him.

The imperial court has a strict system for transferring troops, and it is good that the relevant personnel can complete the formalities before they go to the office. Zhang Ning did not have an opinion of Liu Nian and Gu Chun because Yang Rong'er and Gessel did not see a sergeant of the sharpshooter battalion when they confronted each other.

Zhu Qizhen said: "They are used to threatening to raise troops to conquer, don't Xie Fan eat him?" This time, he didn't come out to obstruct it, did he? Hmph, I don't think he dare. ”

Yunhong Siqing only has four grades, and his official position is two levels lower than Zhang Ning, not to mention an official who does reception work, how dare he be disrespectful to the commander of Jinyiwei?

Zhang Ning shook his head and said: "When Miss Yang brought someone to Yunhong Temple to ask him for an explanation, he slipped through the back door and ran to see Yang Shoufu. When Shousuke-sama received the news, he immediately asked to see His Majesty. Hehe, this Lord Xie is really an old fritter, and he didn't show up until the matter was dealt with. ”

Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "Why is he like this?" ”

Xie Fan is good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, and Wang Zhen has a very good impression of him, so he was entrusted with the position of Yuhong Siqing, how can he be a turtle with a shrunken head when he encounters a little thing?

Zhang Ning said: "It is reported that after he left the cabinet, he did not take his own carriage, but ordered a sedan chair, came to the restaurant near the Yuhong Temple, sat by the window on the second floor, and watched Miss Yang and Gessel quarrel as if watching a play." ”

mentioned Xie Fan, Zhang Ning was furious, not to mention that his behavior would lose the face of officials, just from him quietly hiding, Yang Rong'er should be cut a hundred times.

Zhu Qizhen's brows furrowed into the shape of "Sichuan", and said, "What about Zhang Shaotong?" Didn't you show up either? ”

"Yes. At first, the two sides were in harmony, and after the ministers were not afraid of the threat of Gessel, their attitude turned to tough. ”

"Who does Qing think is suitable for Yuhong Temple?" When Zhu Qizhen asked this sentence, he obviously had the intention of replacing people.

Zhang Ning thought for a while and said: "Yunhong Temple is a place to receive envoys from various countries, not only to do a good job in reception, but also to promote the prestige of our Ming Dynasty, not blindly flattering." Zhang Shaotong can stabilize and barely pass the situation when the situation is unknown, so it is better to let him try. ”

Although Zhang Ning is not a subordinate of Zhang Shaotong and Thin Mud, he is a Zuo Shaoqing of Yunhong Temple from the fifth grade, and in front of Yang Rong'er and Gessel, he can be regarded as a humble official. It is good that the situation has not deteriorated under his control.

The daily work of the temple is to receive tributary envoys from various countries, and it is the first thing to deal with interpersonal relationships. Zhang Ning's requirements are more than that, now the change in the civil fort has not happened, and there is a high probability that it will not happen in the future, and the Ming Dynasty will only be stronger and prosperous, and it is impossible to go downhill. Then, when receiving messengers, there is no need to flatter.

Only weak countries have no diplomacy and need flattery, and strong countries only need small countries to bow down and obey.

Zhang Shaotong's last attitude was the key to Zhang Ning's feeling that he could try. If he is still mainly flattering, it is not too late to change another one.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Then let Zhang Shaotong try." Little four, you go to the cabinet and say something. ”

"Yes." Jia Xiaosi left the hall in response.

As for how Xie Fan should be arranged, Zhu Qizhen didn't mention it, and the cabinet drafted a statement and submitted it.

After saying that, Zhang Ning said goodbye and left the palace and went to prison.

Batu has woken up completely. The jailer had a way to wake him up. Faced with a room full of torture instruments, this self-proclaimed hero on the grassland was cowardly, and when Zhang Ning arrived, he was confessing.

The execution chamber is divided into two rooms, the outer room is the place where the convicts are executed, and various torture instruments are placed on the wall and on the ground. The inner room was about three feet long and wide, empty, except for a stool, and there was a window on the wall facing the execution chamber, which was prepared for the Shangguan who watched the execution.

Some cell bosses or old guards have been in prison for a long time and are psychopathic, so they want to see the bloody scenes of the prisoners' executions. This inner chamber was built by Ma Shun when he was the head of the cell, and he watched here whenever a civil official who was disrespectful to Wang Zhen was punished.

After Ma Shun's death, Zhang Ning kept this inner room. He's not that perverted, but he thinks he might as well keep it, maybe it will come in handy.

Isn't that what you need?

Batu's trembling voice kept coming in.

“…… Taishi intended to go east to Korea, but the Great Khan did not allow it, so he put the Great Khan under house arrest...... If it hadn't been for the Great Khan's stop, our soldiers and horses would have been on their way to Korea. Now that summer is coming and autumn is coming, we can only wait for spring......"

Batu is full of resentment against Tokhtar Buhua, if it weren't for this waste to stop him, Taishi Dongzheng would definitely be in the team, how could he become an unlucky guy who was imprisoned? Aren't you just going to tease and play with the folk girls? I didn't do anything to the woman.

The jailer in charge of the interrogation shouted, "Get down to business. ”

"Tell the right thing, just get down to business." Batu muttered unwillingly, didn't he just complain? It's not the right thing to do.

Hong Xiaohe brought a cup of tea into the inner room, and said with a smile: "My lord, there is only inferior tea here, you will just take it." ”

The jailers are all good at execution, but they don't know how to drink tea, and when he heard that adults like tea, he searched for a long time before he found a little coarse tea leaves, and he didn't know when he left them.

Zhang Ning didn't take his teacup and said, "Ask about Warat's troops." ”

"Yes." Hong Xiaohe looked left and right, not knowing where to put the teacup.

"Take it out." Zhang Ning said, drinking tea in such a bloody place, can the taste of tea be good? What's more, Hong Xiaohe said that it was inferior tea.

Hong Xiaohe confessed repeatedly, went out of the inner room, drank the tea in one go, ignored the hot mouth of the tea, put the coarse tea cup to the wall casually, and shouted: "How many cavalry are there in Wara now?" Who's at your fingertips? ”
