After Ji Minren heard this, Shen SΓ¨ looked very calm, and said: "This is just your guess, I believe that when Bu Shuai investigates the case, he will not make a conclusion based on his own guess, right?" β
"Of course not, as I said before, I am afraid of killing a good official by mistake. Thanks to the carrier pigeon brought by Gao Yanei, I immediately sent a letter to Gao Taiwei with the carrier pigeon, asking them to help check whether the three songs really existed. You are very smart, in order to make this play more realistic, you also let the sentinel arrive at the post station in front of Xijing Henan Mansion, and when you check it out, you can be sure that someone is obstructing it, and the song is not seen in the capital. β
Ji Minren spread his hands and said, "I can still say this now." β
"No, no, no, a wise man thinks a thousand times, and there must be a mistake, your plan is almost perfect, but it is not perfect after all, because there is a fatal flaw, and that is the horse. Eight hundred miles of expedited is the need to constantly change horses, according to the distance between Xijing and Tokyo, the sentinel should have to change a horse when turning back, but the post station does not have any records, I believe that no one will care about this kind of trivial matter, even if it is you, the sentinel on the return trip, the post station in front of Xijing clearly recorded, the horse that the sentinel rode back was the one that rode away from here in the first half of the year, but because the horses and people are constantly moving, so the officials of the post station did not care at that time, which can be proven, The sentinel didn't enter Tokyo at all, so there would be no more of those three songs. β
Ji Minren nodded lightly and said, "Then how do you know that I colluded with Western Xia?" β
Li Qi smiled: "Because I'm thinking, why are you doing this, is it just for the 80,000 stone grain?" I'm very curious about this, because you don't need so much at all, even if it's 10,000 stone of grain, it's enough for you to eat, drink and have fun for a lifetime, why do you need 80,000 stone, this is undoubtedly self-defeating, you must know that 80,000 stone of grain, it is not easy to deal with it. So why do you do this? I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't think of a reason. However, this matter always seems to be related to the Zhejia Army, and the court is worried about this, why do you want to involve the Zhejia Army? Of course, you will never think about them, otherwise when Zhe Yan is going to rob the army rations, you will definitely stop Zhi Yan, but if you don't, it means that you want to frame the Zhe family army, if the Zhe family army is victimized, then Western Xia is the biggest beneficiary. So I'm guessing you must have colluded with Western Xia. After I knew about this qiΔ, I secretly sent a few archers to hide near your residence, and now it is a critical time, send someone to send a letter to Western Xia, it is definitely not appropriate, you are so smart, of course you will not make such a low-level mistake, since I can think of using carrier pigeons, you must also think of it. Sure enough, as I expected, after I pledged Orihiko away, you immediately wanted to fly the pigeon and send a message to Xixia, fortunately, my archers are usually diligent in practice, and did not let the pigeon escape, and now the letter is with me, do you want to reminisce. Oh, since you can rob me of my aid, then there must be a lot of people, so I also secretly sent a person to follow you, and I found out where these subordinates were hiding. As for the future, I don't need to say more. β
Ji Minren shook his head and said with a wry smile: "A good trick to lure the snake out of the hole, Ji Mou's heart is convinced." β
"Then it's time for me to ask you."
"Just ask."
Li Qi said: "How did you transport the 80,000 stone grain?" And how is it handled? β
Ji Minren said: "It's very simple, when the disaster relief food arrived in Fengxiang Mansion, I sent these people to pretend to be officers and soldiers to respond, those grain soldiers are all wine bags and rice bags, I casually invited them to eat a good meal, send them a little money, where will they suspect anything, and they were in a hurry to get rid of the food, so I easily got the food." Then I divided the grain into two parts, one part was transported to a hidden cave, and the other part was transported back to Fengxiang Mansion and distributed to the people. Later, I sent the grain to Western Xia. β
Li Qi frowned and said, "This is impossible, how can you send so much grain to Western Xia." β
"This is simpler, every year the Western Xia will send envoys to the Great Song Dynasty to send congratulatory gifts, according to the rules of our Great Song Dynasty, we will definitely return more gifts. When they went back, they deliberately chose to go to Fengxiang Mansion, and I left some of them for these soldiers, and the rest was transported back to Western Xia by them. β
"I see." A resentment flashed in Li Qi's eyes, and he said, "You can't compensate for the sins you have caused in ten lifetimes." β
Ji Minren said: "Don't say ten lifetimes, I am willing to exchange a hundred lives for the people for a Lang Lang Qiankun, even if this time is passed, next time, next time, under such court governance, they will always live in dire straits, in the long run, I don't think I did wrong, I believe that Bu Shuai you must also be very clear." I remember when I told you that you were missing 80,000 stone of grain, your first reaction was that those ministers in the court and the central government did it, why is this? This is because this kind of thing has been common in my Great Song Dynasty, so it can be imagined, and there are countless people who have been harmed. Also, I have read your letter, the letter is full of helplessness, but you know the world better than me, and you know the way of being an official, you know how to deal with it, hehe, but then again, even if you are talented, it is impossible to have a clear conscience in this environment, no matter who it is, so you should understand why I was disheartened by the court at that time, and my grief was more than heart death! Alas, however, since I heard that you are going to use the economy to revitalize the Northwest, I began to regret it a little, but I think it is difficult for you to do it, because it will hurt the interests of many people. β
"That's just what you think, I'm not you, and if you can't do it, it doesn't mean I can't do it." Li Qi laughed, unwilling to talk about it, and asked again, "What about these Western Xia soldiers?" How did they get into Fengxiang? β
Ji Minren laughed and said, "I think Bu Shuai must have been confused by Zhe Yan, and I forgot that I am the real prefect of Fengxiang Mansion." These Western Xia soldiers only need to pretend to be merchants to enter Fengxiang Mansion, and I, as the prefect, want to help them hide, it is really simple. β
"That's just as well."
Li Qi nodded, and suddenly said seriously: "Last question, what exactly is the plan you mentioned in the letter to Xixia?" β
Ji Minren said: "Presumably this is the reason why you left me alive." β
"Yes."
Li Qi did not deny it, because he knew that Ji Minren was a smart person, so concealing it would only make him appear stupid.
"I am defeated by your hands, and the fruits of this victory are worthy only of you, so I sue you alone."
"Bu Shuai, don't fall for him."
"Bu Shuai, don't go!"
All the soldiers were unanimously opposed.
Ji Minren looked at Li Qi and smiled without saying a word.
Li Qi raised his hand, let the others say nothing, dismounted, and said, "I hope the fruits of this victory will not disappoint me." β
Ji Minren stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Please." β
"Please."
The two walked aside, Ji Minren suddenly put away his smile and said, "Bu Shuai, are you really planning to develop the northwest, or are you just talking?" β
Li Qi said lightly: "It's a pity that you can't see it." β
"That's, that's."
Ji Minren sighed and suddenly asked, "Oh, do you still have hope for the Song court?" β
"I'm a very confident man, and I believe in myself."
"Hehe, if only I could have the confidence you have." Ji Minren sighed bitterly and said: "Okay, to get back to business, in fact, the plan I said is that the Western Xia plan to attack Lanzhou and Weizhou, although they only sue me so much, but according to my guess, they mainly want to seize the Hehuang region." β
Li Qi was shocked and said, "Is this true? β
Just when Li Qi was extremely surprised, Ji Minren suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out Li Qi's saber.
"Be careful."
"Bu Shuai."
Phew!
Ji Minren did not hesitate, raised his sharp saber, and stabbed himself in the abdomen in front of Li Qi.
Yue Fei and the others, who came to the rescue, all stopped and looked at Ji Minren dumbfounded.
Thump!
Ji Minren fell to the ground on his back, slowly raised a hand, and said, "Thank you." β
Li Qi glanced at him, without the slightest panic on his face, and said, "No thanks, this should be regarded as compensation for you who never had the heart to kill Tian Qi." β
Ji Minren nodded with a smile and said, "I-I still want to ask you another question, you-do you think I'm a good official?" β
When he said this, his eyes were filled with hot water.
Li Qi frowned and said, "In the next life, I hope you can be a good official without distractions in the next life." β
"Thank you." Ji Minren laughed a few times, laughed very bitterly, and then coughed violently a few times, without saying much, his eyes looked at the night sky, two lines of hot tears flowed out, one line was full of despair, but the other line was full of hope.
Is he a good officer?
Everyone present was asking themselves this question.
He has served the people in Fengxiang Mansion for more than 20 years with dedication and diligence, and has never taken a penny from the people, nor has he asked the court for more than a penny, and the people of Fengxiang Mansion have all supported him and respected him. But such a good official, but under the pressure of the environment, embarked on a road of betrayal, obviously he has lost confidence in the country, lost enthusiasm, lost love, and has nothing but hatred and despair.
If this is in a peaceful and prosperous world, I believe that anyone will scold him as a traitor, but now, the confusion on everyone's face is the greatest affirmation of him.
"He'sβhe's actually a good officer."
At this moment, a sobbing voice suddenly sounded, not loud, but especially loud in the silent night.
Li Qi turned his head to look, only to see Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiu, the two second-handers, staring blankly at Ji Minren, who had lost his breath on the ground, and sobbed. Although these two boys are more evil, more bastards, and even more hateful, they are still just children in their bones, and they are still two very emotional children.
Li Qi shook his head with a smile, glanced at Ji Minren again, sighed, walked over, and said, "General Zhe." β
Zhe Yanzhi suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Zhe Yanzhi was deceived by others, and committed such a big crime, it is not a pity to die, and please give Zhi Yanzhi a death." β
"Don't worry, I'll settle this account with you sooner or later, but now is not the time. Let me ask you, how many people are there in Weizhou? β
Zhi Yan was stunned for a moment, and said, "There are still 6,000 people and horses." β
"Good! You have left your post without permission, and you have transferred so many soldiers, which is an additional crime. Li Qi pointed at Zheyan fiercely, and then said: "Western Xia may sneak attack Lanzhou and Weizhou, you immediately order someone to go to Weizhou and order the soldiers to step up their guards, let's leave for Lanzhou immediately." β
When Zhi Yanzhi heard this, his back was already soaked, and he finally understood why Ji Minren appeared here, he didn't want to escape, but wanted to attack Lanzhou or Weizhou together, if Ji Minren's plan really succeeded, then he was really to blame.
Li Qi immediately mounted his horse and said, "The whole army will go to Lanzhou immediately." β
Yue Fei suddenly said: "Bu Shuai, how to deal with these people?" β
Li Qi said lightly: "We have to rush at full speed." Drive. With that, he rushed out first.
Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, immediately understood, and then made a gesture.
At this moment, a bright light suddenly came from the distance, and Li Qi raised his eyes to see that a team was rushing towards this side from the direction of Weizhou.
