"Bypassing the Shanshui Pass and attacking the capital, are the Tatars crazy?"

In the Yamen of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division, in Jia Rui's office, Xu Daozhong, the imperial historian of the city patrol, finished reading Xiao Duo's translation, and fell on the table.

"The closest place to the Tatars is more than 1,200 miles from the capital. Along the way, how many checkpoints, how many defenders, tell me, how did they get over? ”

"This kind of information, you asked me to hand it in, what do others think of me? Am I not someone else's joke? ”

Xu Daozhong didn't believe that such a ridiculous thing would happen.

"My lord is angry, and I don't want to believe this situation, but how can this letter be explained?"

"Isn't this just a proposal? Even if the Tatars really wanted to attack, they might not do it this way. ”

"For many years, the Tatars attacked, all of them attacked the Shanshui Pass. When you enter the customs, you will be flat. The iron cavalry of the Tatars can approach the capital. ”

"If they take a detour, they can only go through the mountains, how can his cavalry and grain and grass pass?"

"What if they borrowed the way from the Mogu Grassland?"

"That's impossible, one is that it's too far. The second is that the Tatars have a feud with the Mogu people. The Mogu people will not lend them the Tao. ”

"Feuds can also be resolved."

"Okay, Tianxiang, I know you're in good hands, but it's ridiculous unless you can come up with other evidence."

"Chen Yejun and Wang Yimu are interrogating the two, we can go over and have a look. Maybe I can find some other evidence from them. ”

"Okay, then go over and have a look."

Jia Rui and Xu Daozhong arrived at the door of the inquiry room, where Ni Er was already waiting, holding a large basin with soil in his hand.

A few people went in, and Chen Yejun and Wang Yimu stood up.

"Recruited?"

Jarry asked.

"Not yet, he said that the text on the road guide was forged by us, and blamed them."

Jia Rui turned to Gao Mingtang.

"Gao Mingtang, you are indeed quite smart. Your cipherwriting skills are also very good. You know, after a while, those words will disappear automatically, so I insist that the words on the road guide are forged by us, right? ”

"When the words are gone, there's no evidence, right?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Okay, you can pretend. Someone came and stripped off the clothes of both of them. ”

Everyone didn't know why, and they all looked at Jia Rui suspiciously.

"Ni Er, didn't you understand what I said? Rip off their clothes. ”

"Yes."

Ni Eryi waved his hand, and took a few people up to pick up the clothes of the two guys.

"You can't insult people, I'm going to sue you."

"Tianxiang, what are you doing here?"

"Lord Xu, their clothes may hide this great secret. You'll find out in a moment. Of course, it could just be my guess. ”

Soon, both of them took their clothes.

Jia Rui picked up a piece of clothing and rolled it around in the dirt in the basin, so that the clothes were completely stained with mud.

The first piece is processed and spread on the ground, and then the second piece is disposed of and spread on the ground as well.

Soon, all eight underwear and underwear were spread on the ground.

"Tianxiang, what does this mean?"

Xu Daozhong still didn't understand.

"Could it be that this is also cipherography, and it won't ....... Oh my God, there's handwriting on my clothes. ”

Zheng Tianlun shouted.

On the two clothes, the colors began to change, and gradually lines and circles appeared.

Gradually, it expanded, and on one garment was a map, and on another was text.

The map is the route from the capital to Pyongan Prefecture. There are also levels, peaks, rivers, garrisons, roads, etc. along the way.

The handwriting on the other piece of clothing is a map of the entire Zhili, plus the garrisons and prefectures around the capital.

"Is there really such a cipher?"

Until now, Xu Daozhong doesn't want to believe that all this is true.

But I saw it with my own eyes, and I had to believe it.

"Gao Mingtang, what else do you have to say? Chen commanded the envoys, and if they did not confess, they would be tortured and served. ”

"Spare your life, I'll recruit, I'll recruit, I'll recruit them all."

Gao Mingtang had already reached its limit, and at this time, the psychological defense line finally collapsed.

"Lord Xu, let's go up and have tea."

"Okay, you guys hurry up and review."

Half an hour later, Chen Yejun came in and handed the confession to Xu Daozhong.

"All confessed, Xia Banshan is their connector. As for whether there is someone behind Xia Banshan, they don't know. ”

This Gao Mingtang is a pseudonym, the name of the small man is Butler, and the big man is called Tug. Both were Tatars.

Their upper line in Tatar is evergreen. The connector on Dade's side is Xia Banshan.

Jia Rui believes that Butler's confession is true, and with their hierarchy and one-line connection, it seems that they can only reach Xia Banshan.

As for their road guides and clothes, they were all provided to them by Xia Banshan.

They don't know what is written on it.

Xia Banshan's instruction to them was to hand over all the clothes and road guides to Qingbulin after they went back.

"Lord Xu, after a long time, the secret writing technique will be invalid, and please make a decision quickly. The stakes are high, and there is nothing we can do about it, it is all up to adults. ”

Jia Rui felt that it was enough for the Dongcheng Terracotta Division to do this. The rest of the things are the big names above. I can't manage that much.

"It's really a big deal, and I can't be the master. I must go back and tell Lord Yang before making a decision. You come with me and hand over the human and physical evidence to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”

The Lord Yang mentioned by Xu Daozhong is Yang Musheng, the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is the highest official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Without further ado, Jia Rui took people to change Butler and Tuge's clothes, covered their heads, followed Xu Daozhong, and escorted them to the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

After going through the handover formalities, the group came out.

Here, Xu Daozhong went to see Yang Musheng, the imperial history of the left capital.

Yang Musheng listened to Xu Daozhong's report, and then looked at the confession, road guide and clothes. Sneered.

"Lord Xu, do you know who Xia Banshan's backer is?"

"Yes, Eunuch Xia."

"Know you're still messing around with them? Are you trying to talk nonsense, eunuch Xia fornicated with Tatar? Who can believe this? ”

"Jia Rui said that Eunuch Xia may not know about it, and it may be that Xia Banshan made his own opinion."

"Hmph, it's Jia Rui again. Relying on the fact that he is a new science and technology jinshi, the Jia family, he makes his own decisions at every turn and acts recklessly. ”

"He's only been here for a few days, tell me how many people he's offended? Jinyi Army, Dongping Palace, Guozijian, Patrol Camp, Shuntianfu, Shangbaosi. ”

"Wang Ziteng, the envoy of the Jingying Festival, is still related to him, and now he has the idea of beating the eunuch Xia, does he really think that he is omnipotent?"

"But the stakes are high, in case the Tatars really come to attack......

"Hmph, you also believe this kind of nonsense, the Tatars are very bold, how did they attack the capital? There are many levels along the way....... ”

is nothing more than what Xu Daozhong said.

This is not to blame Xu Daozhong and Yang Musheng, because the Shangshu and the squires of the military department usually have this set of arguments.

"But the person has been arrested, and there are confessions, human witnesses, and physical evidence......."

Alas, Yang Musheng sighed and pondered for a while.

"That's it, this is a major matter of military aircraft, and we can't tell the truth from the fake. Leave it to the military department. ”

"But ......."

"Go ahead and do it, more is better than less."

"Okay, let's do it."
