"So what," Yang Fangheng said stiffly, "Presumably Lord Shen has already told you, the original envoy, Master Li Zongcheng, was sent back to China for treatment earlier because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, and now it can only be temporarily appointed by the old man, so it is logical to do so, besides, this is our family matter, and it is not our turn to report to you, right?" ”

"It's not necessary to report, but there is something I haven't figured out, since you said that Master Li has returned to China, then who is this person?" After speaking, Xiubao clapped his hands gently, and a young man in cloth walked into the main hall under the push of the guards.

This man must have suffered a lot, there were bruises and blood marks everywhere on his face and hands, not only that, but even mentally different from ordinary people, after entering the door, he only knew to stand in place, with his head down and fiddling with the corners of his clothes, no matter how the guards beside him shouted, he refused to raise his head.

Seeing this mysterious figure, everyone present felt inexplicable, especially Hideyoshi, he could feel that Hideho wanted to relieve himself, but he didn't know anything about the specific ideas, and now such a strange person appeared, which made him can't help but ask: "Shizhong, who is this person, and does it have anything to do with Yihe?" ”

Xiubao smiled without saying a word, stepped to Shen Weijing's side, squatted down and asked the mysterious figure, "Master Li, do you still recognize this person?" ”

Under the gaze of everyone's curious eyes, the mysterious figure slowly raised his head and looked towards Shen Weijing.

But at the moment when the two made eye contact, the mysterious figure trembled violently as if he had been electrocuted, and ran to the door desperately, but was stopped by the guards in time, but the mysterious figure still did not stop, shouting "devil" while trying to break free from the control of the guards, fortunately, these guards were experienced and strong samurai, and soon pressed him to the ground.

"Raise his head and let Lord Shen take a good look." Xiubo said coldly.

One of the two warriors dragged the mysterious figure's hair, and the other pressed against his chin, and finally raised his head with great effort, Shen Weijing didn't see it clearly, and he didn't feel anything, but now when he looked at it, his face immediately became bloodless, and he roared "impossible, impossible", and his body also subconsciously moved back, always keeping a safe distance of about two meters from the mysterious figure in front of him.

"Lord Shen, you should know this person, right?" Xiubao approached Shen Weijing and asked softly.

"This is impossible, refusal, why is Master Li here, why is he like this?" Shen Weijing ignored Xiubao's question, but his self-talk made everyone present basically have an eyebrow.

Hearing Shen Weijing say that the person in front of him was Li Zongcheng, Yang Fangheng couldn't sit still, stood up and walked to the mysterious figure to further confirm the identity of this person. Unexpectedly, as soon as he was about to approach, the mysterious figure turned his face to him and shouted angrily: "Old horseman, collude with profiteers to harm me, and I, Li Zongcheng, will not let you go!" ”

Yang Fangheng was exhausted, he was so frightened by him, his blood suddenly surged, and his eyes fell to the ground, but fortunately, the Lingsan monk who was present was proficient in medical skills, and took out the medicine pill he carried with him to take it, and it didn't take long for Yang Fangheng to wake up.

Seeing that Li Zongcheng had been able to distinguish Yang Fangheng and Shen Weijing, Xiubao was relieved, he stood up and asked in front of everyone: "Lord Li, please tell everyone here what has happened in the past month or so, so that everyone can see clearly the faces of the two Ming envoys in front of you, so that I can wait for you to administer justice." With that, Xiubao ordered the guards to let go of Li Zongcheng and invited him to a side seat.

At this time, Li Zongcheng's spirit gradually recovered, but he still cursed Yang Shen and the others under the hall desperately, and even self-righteously asked Hideyoshi to help him administer justice: "You are His Royal Highness Taige, the foreign minister is the envoy of the Ming State Mission, and the two of them in the hall for their own selfish interests, they even disregarded the discussion and the plan, conspired to remove me, and manipulated the mission to seek benefits for themselves." In the past month, I have been tortured by them, life is better than death, fortunately, His Royal Highness will save me in time, otherwise even if I lose my life, no one will know, please be sure to make decisions for the ministers! ”

When Hideyoshi heard Li Zongcheng's request, he suddenly felt beautiful in his heart, and the envoy of the Ming Kingdom begged him to administer justice for him, which can be regarded as a manifestation of proving his status, but for the sake of insurance, Hideyoshi still asked Hideyoshi to make the matter public.

According to the lines compiled before, Xiubao told Li Zongcheng's encounter during this period of time "1510": "Just three days ago, the minister received news from Iwamuro that he had intercepted a smuggling ship of the Ming Kingdom, and found the official uniforms and seals of high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty on it. According to the confession, the minister found Master Li in the bilge of the ship, at this time he had not eaten for three days, his clothes were ragged, and his body was scarred, and he was afraid that his life would be in danger if he was one step late. ”

"That's so," Li Zongcheng nodded to Hideyoshi, turned around and thanked Hidebo: "Thanks to His Highness Shizhong, if it weren't for your timely rescue, Zongcheng would probably not see the light of day until he died, Fang Cai was too excited in the palace, and his emotions were a little out of control, please forgive me." ”

"Who would dare to do this to you?" Hideyoshi asked curiously.

"Who else could there be, these two brutes!" Li Zongcheng immediately stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Shen and the others, baring his teeth and grinning: "These two people designed to deceive me on the black ship, saying that they were escorting me back to China, but in fact they wanted to take me to the open sea to extinguish the mouth. ”

"Lord Li is going to spew blood, when will you order someone to kill you?" Shen Weijing retorted angrily: "If you want to return to China, I will arrange a merchant ship to send you back, how can you take revenge and trap me in a desperate situation?" ”

"Grace will take revenge?" Li Zongcheng snorted, "The reason why I want to return to China is not because I have listened to your slander, Lord Shizhong has already told me, Taige did not take the opportunity to imprison the mission, all of this was made up by you, sending me back to China is just to take the opportunity to control the mission, I am afraid that I will delay your good deeds, now I am here to confront you face to face, what else do you have to say?" ”

As soon as Li Zongcheng said this, Shen Weijing completely lost his temper, sat on the ground with his buttocks, drooped his head and stopped making a sound. This is the case, Shen Weijing really wanted to find an excuse to support Li Zongcheng, so that he could monopolize the power, and when the time came, he would cooperate with the governor inside and outside, and hide the big lie of the discussion, and when he wanted to read the edict, he went wrong, and finally made his efforts in the past three years go to waste, and even his own life was put into it.

But there is one thing that Shen Weijing said is the truth, he did not find someone to kill Li Zongcheng, all of this is a trap set by Xiubao and Li Guozhu, in order to win Li Zongcheng's favor, and at the same time intensify his hatred of Shen Weijing. In order to prevent Shen Weijing from becoming suspicious, Xiubao had already arranged the so-called witnesses and criminals, but seeing Shen Weijing's current appearance, presumably this play does not need to continue.

"What's the matter, there's nothing to say, 'no business, no traitor' is really true, a profiteer like you, it's not a pity to die a hundred times!" Li Zongcheng breathed a sigh of relief, as if he hadn't scolded enough, and pointed at Yang Fangheng to teach him a lesson: "Lord Yang, I have always respected you, but you are in cahoots with Shen Weijing and conspired to control the mission, tell me, now what kind of face do you have to go to see the emperor and face the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty?" ”

"Don't say it, all this is my idea and the president's idea, Lord Yang has been kept in the dark by us from beginning to end, and he doesn't know about this matter." Shen Weijing still lowered his head and said lightly.

"Shen Weijing, you dog!" The governor was full of eyes, and now he really wanted to directly result in this "old friend", but seeing Hideyoshi's cold eyes, the anger in his heart was quickly extinguished, and it seemed that he died with Shen Weijing, or not, he would be blessed by Jesus when he went to heaven.

Yang Fangheng never expected that Shen Weijing would be able to speak for himself at this critical juncture, although what he said was just the truth, but this is the truth that came out of Shen Weijing's mouth, I am afraid it is more precious and rare than diamonds and gold.

Li Zongcheng actually didn't believe that Yang Fangheng would be in cahoots with Shen Weijing, and now that Shen Weijing has clarified the facts for him, he should not be guilty of the past. At this point, Li Zongcheng should finally breathe a sigh of relief, and it is time for this trip to Japan to come to an end.

But Hideho didn't think so, so he had to find a step for Hideyoshi, and it was time for him to start anew.
