In the twelfth year of Daming Jingtai, the second dragon raised its head in early February. The auspicious day of the zodiac, everything is suitable!

Early in the morning, the news that the people of Jinyi Wei had found the Jurchens who were accused of colluding with Lin Lie spread in the government and military camps, causing people to have different opinions. In the midst of everyone's discussions, near noon, a team dressed strangely and dressed strangely appeared under the city of Jizhou.

If I hadn't known about this early in the morning, and there were people in front of the team who were in brocade clothes greeting the city, I am afraid that the soldiers defending the city would have thought that there was a foreign enemy attacking. But even now, they still have a lot of precautions against the Jurchens who were brought into the city by the Jinyi guards, and even deliberately went forward to search their bodies, in case they brought any weapons into the city to try wrong.

In the face of the Ming army's strict body search, these Jurchens seemed very calm, and at the same time, they were all curious and constantly observed the buildings in the city. Obviously, the large and small buildings in this Jizhou city were much better than their humble dwellings in the mountains, and their eyes were a little straight when they looked at them.

After confirming that there was no problem with them, the group of more than ten people was able to continue walking towards the city, and soon came to the front of Lu Jin's Qincha Xingyuan. Originally, it was logical that the person was naturally going to be taken to the government for interrogation, but now that Lu Zhen is here to review the case, the person will be brought here directly. And during this period, Su Mudao, Liu Daorong, and another Qincha Gaodang also arrived here one after another, and the stakes were very high, so it was naturally impossible for them to be absent.

After Tang Lian stepped forward to reveal his identity, the group of Jurchens was carefully searched, and then they were allowed to enter the line, and they came to the main hall in the front yard surrounded by several capable captains.

At this time, in the main hall, Lu Zhen happened to be gossiping with Liu Daorong with a teacup, and as soon as he heard that the important witnesses had arrived, he hurriedly put the cup down and said solemnly: "Call them all in!" ”

At this time, Gao Dang suddenly coughed and interjected: "Uncle Wei Cheng, Xia Guan thought of a little. Before you ask them about this case, shouldn't you let them prove that they are indeed the Jurchens who colluded with Lin Lie? After all, in a radius of nearly 100 miles to the left of Jizhou, there are still many Jurchen tribes hiding in the mountains. ”

These words were to express doubts about the identity of these witnesses recovered by Jin Yiwei, which made Lu Jin's face sink slightly, and then he smiled and said: "The high-end head is really careful, you can rest assured that this official has solved many cases, and this experience is still there." ”

"That's good." Gao Dang smiled proudly, even if he couldn't let him change his decision, as long as he could suppress Lu Zhen a little in terms of momentum, it would be good.

Subsequently, Tang Lian and Lin Minghui brought two Jurchens who were a little thin and dressed in fur as if they were on a bamboo pole into the hall, and the first two immediately saluted Lu Jin: "My lord, I am fortunate to not be disgraced by my life, and I finally brought back this important person card." ”

Liu Daorong and Su Mudao's faces changed slightly when they saw the few people who came in, especially when they saw Lin Minghui, a hint of discoloration flashed in their eyes.

However, since they were now in Lu Jin's territory, they naturally didn't want to attack this one, so they just sat there silently, waiting for the next development of things.

Lu Zhen waved his hand: "You have worked hard. However, just now, the high-end head questioned it, saying that he needs to prove that these Jurchens are indeed the clan they mentioned before, can you come up with evidence? ”

The two glanced at each other, and then Tang Lian said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to get the evidence, but they can prove that they are the closest Jurchens to my Jizhou City." Tong Erguajia, come on. ”

The named Jurchen humbly bowed to everyone in front of him, and then spoke: "The villain has been to Jizhou no less than ten times, so he still has an impression of many things in this city. For example, a hundred steps away from here is the prefect's yamen, and then there is a restaurant called Huichun Fang, and there is ......" Although this accent still seems a little awkward and stiff, the official language of this mouth is quite smooth.

What was even more surprising was that he was able to report the names of all the large and small shops on the street in front of the government office, even if there were any mistakes or omissions, it was because of the newly opened shops. And this is indeed enough to prove that he is an acquaintance who often comes to Jizhou.

"Okay......" Lu Zhen waved his hand and asked him to stop this gushing introduction, and then looked at Gao Dang: "High-end head, as far as I know, there is only a Jurchen tribe of the Tonggua tribe near this Jizhou City, and only their people will do some business here from time to time, and they will treasure the shops in the city." Do you have any doubts about this? ”

With the facts in front of him, it was a little difficult for Gao Dang to pick a bone in the egg, not to mention that he was still a little jealous of Lu Jin, so he immediately shook his head and said: "Since he can prove his identity, of course the lower official has nothing to say." ”

"That's good." Lu Zhen looked at Tang Lian again: "Didn't someone mention before that this Tonggua clan has suffered a catastrophe, and the whole clan has been killed and wiped out?" ”

Tang Lian glanced at Lin Minghui, who was slightly embarrassed, because this statement came from him, and then replied: "In fact, when the lowly people rushed to the Tonggua Clan's station, what they saw was indeed a scorched earth. However, upon closer inspection, it was found that there were no traces of the war. So I boldly assume that in fact, this Tonggua clan was not exterminated, but noticed something wrong one step earlier, so the Ju clan moved into the depths of the mountains. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Therefore, the humble position led people to continue to search for the deep mountains through various clues. It was also God's refusal to live up to our hard work, and he actually let us meet a few Jurchen people in the mountains, so they took them to a new station and met their patriarch, that is, this Tong Erguaga! ”

It was easy for him to say this, in fact, it was not a simple matter to find the Jurchens who were already good at hiding in the inaccessible mountains, and the hard work was not for outsiders. Although Lu Zhen understood in his heart, he didn't mention it much at this time, but quickly looked at the Jurchen patriarch: "Patriarch Tong, is what my brother said the truth?" ”

"Yes, we are from the Tonggua clan. Because I was forced by your Ming officials and soldiers before, I had to think of escaping into the mountains. Tong Erguaga immediately nodded in response, and there was even a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"Well, you should be sure of them by now

Their testimony can indeed be used as the key to this case, right? Lu Zhen asked again, and his gaze quickly swept over Gao Liu Su and the others.

In this regard, it was naturally impossible for these three people to have any questions, so they nodded and said, "Then please ask Wei Chengbo to continue to ask." ”

"Do you know why your Tonggua clan almost suffered this catastrophe?" Lu Zhen was not busy getting to the point, but threw out such a question.

Tong Erguajia immediately said with anger: "It's not because our people have offended the big people of your Ming Kingdom. We Jurchens have always been kind and obedient, and at most we just want to exchange the prey we have obtained from the mountains, forests, and seas for some utensils and food for you. But you Mingren always rely on your own strength to force us to pay tribute, and let us do some extremely difficult things...... And even so, you refused to let us go, and this time we were almost wiped out by the officers and soldiers. ”

Hearing this Jurchen say such words full of grievances, Lu Jin's heart was also full of emotion. Who would have thought that these seemingly inconspicuous little Jurchen tribes, which had been suppressed by the Ming Dynasty before, would actually become the biggest external trouble of the Ming Dynasty a hundred years later, and eventually replaced them. Of course, it was the Jianzhou Jurchens who really seized the Central Plains, but it had nothing to do with the current small Jurchen tribe.

After dispelling the strange thoughts in his heart, Lu Jincai said soothingly: "There must be some misunderstanding in this, or some traitors are doing it, my Ming Dynasty has always treated the people of all ethnic groups who obey me equally. Now that the official's people have found you, then your Tonggua clan will be safe. ”

"Thank you, Lord Chincha." Tong Erguaga immediately knelt down and bowed in thanks.

After he finished all this, Lu Jin said with a straight face: "Okay, let's talk about these things later, let's talk about the relationship between you and Lin Lie, the chief soldier of this city, first, right?" Have you dealt with him? ”

Lin Lie ...... Mr. Lin ......" The other party seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then nodded and said: "This is true, in the past two years, Mr. Lin has indeed taken care of us a lot, and he also bought our Dongzhu and Haidongqing with silver." ”

"Oh? Does he have anything else to do with you? Like I want to help you or something? Lu Zhen had a smile on his face, and hurriedly asked again. As long as the other party shook his head and said that there had never been any further contact, then Lin Lie's accusation of colluding with them was very suspicious.

Even if Liu Daorong and others want to press back the charges when the time comes, Lu Zhen can take out such confessions to bring the lawsuit to the court, and tell the inside story that the Tonggua clan is only a small tribe with less than 1,000 people. In this way, Lin Lie will naturally be cleared of his charges.

But an unexpected change happened suddenly at this time, and I saw Tong Ergujia suddenly raise his head after a period of entanglement: "Lord Qincha, although this matter is very serious, I still have to tell the truth." Just last winter, Mr. Lin suddenly sent someone to meet us, and then put forward the idea of helping my Tonggua clan prosper. At the time, I was still very happy and thought he was such a good person. Unexpectedly, then he proposed that we should unite several nearby Jurchen tribes to send troops together and take advantage of the defenselessness of Jizhou City to seize this city......"
