When Fang Zheng arrived at the post house, the fire had been extinguished, but it didn't matter if it was extinguished or not, because the burn was basically burned, leaving only a ruin wall with green smoke, and the air exuded a strong smell of burning.

Fang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward, and saw that the two groups of Turks were fine, there was no damage, but they were very embarrassed by the smoke and fire, and the two groups of people were holding scimitars in their hands in the courtyard of the post house and confronted each other angrily, and several officials of the Ministry of Rites kept rubbing their hands and feet on the side, so anxious that they didn't know what to do.

Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Fang Zheng didn't care about their life or death, he was afraid that the emperor would not be able to spare him if they died.

"Oh, two noble envoys, on this hot day, even if you want to bake the fire, you don't need to light the house, you will lose money if you burn the flowers and plants." As soon as Fang Zheng came up, he put the blame on the Turks.

The Turkic national teacher Mo Jianlian's hair was scorched in large pieces, and the leather robe on his body was also burned through several holes, and he said with a blackened face: "Lord Fang, the old man swears to the true god on the grassland that this matter is definitely not the work of the old man and his subordinates!" ”

At this moment, a swarthy Turk sprang out from the opposite side, chirping and roaring towards Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng was taken aback: "Who are you?" ”

The Turks continued to chirp......

Fang Zheng said impatiently: "You stop for a while, no matter how much you say, I won't understand." - Lord Lu, Lu Hongwen! Where did the death go? ”

Lu Hongwen stumbled out from the side and said with a smile: "Lord Fang, I'm here." ”

Fang Zheng pointed at the swarthy Turk: "Go and ask, who this is." ”

Lu Hongwen was stunned and said, "Lord Fang, you don't know him so soon?" He is a messenger sent by the Khan of Murchi. ”

Fang Zheng's eyes widened in surprise: "Wow! It turned out to be Brother Da! I haven't seen him for a day, and Brother Da is a lot more handsome, and sure enough, it's better to be famous than to meet. ”

Lu Hongwen hurriedly translated on the side.

Like Donald Duck who had been blown up by a grenade in the cartoon, Dattata was full of smoke, pointed at Mo Thorn with a dark face, and spoke Turkic loudly, looking very angry.

Lu Hongwen said: "Datata said that the house must have been burned by Mo Jianlian, he said that Mo Jianlian is like a cunning and venomous snake, hiding in the dark and biting people unexpectedly, such a despicable person, the true God will definitely punish him......"

Mo Thorn was so angry that his beard was trembling, and he scolded Datata loudly.

Fang Zheng touched his chin and pondered, this matter is very strange, it is said that Mo Jianlian is a Turkic national teacher, and he is very resourceful, and he sent someone to set fire to the house as soon as he arrived in the capital, with his IQ, he should not do such a stupid thing.

Fang Zheng turned his head and asked Lu Hongwen, "Were several officials from your Ministry of Rites present at that time?" Tell me what's going on. ”

Lu Hongwen smiled bitterly: "It is certain that the house was set on fire, and we were all sleeping in the room at noon, and suddenly we heard a roar from the house where the Data Tata mission lived, and we ran over to take a look, and saw that their roof was on fire, and it may have been someone sprinkling flammable materials such as tung oil on it, and the fire immediately became very large, and the door of Data Tower was locked outside......

Fang Zheng glanced at Datata in amazement, thinking that this kid is lucky enough, the person who set the fire clearly wanted to burn him alive, and he couldn't run away if he wanted to, it seems that Datata's character is really problematic. With such a tragic encounter, it's no wonder that this guy is so angry now.

Pointing to Mo Jianlian, who had also been smoked black and brown like an eight-ripe steak, Fang Zheng asked, "Datata was burned, what happened to them?" The house they live in is also on fire? ”

Lu Hongwen wiped his sweat and said: "Exactly, not long after the house in Datata caught fire, we were all smashing the lock to save people, but we heard a roar from the Turkic national teacher, let's run over and take a look, the house where the national teacher lived was also on fire, and the fire was extremely fast, almost one point and the whole burned up......"

Fang Zheng was stunned again and said, "Wait a minute!" Before the lock on the door of Datata's house was opened, you threw him down and ran to the Turkic master? ”

Lu Hongwen smiled awkwardly: "The situation was so chaotic at that time, we only had a few accompanying officials, so we couldn't take care of this end and the other, isn't there no way......"

Fang Zheng glanced at Datata sympathetically, this guy is really pitiful, who told him to gallop outside the city, the officials of the Ministry of Rites threw him into the room and ran to save the Turkic national teacher, most likely Datata did not invite them to see him, and if Fang Zheng was present, it was estimated that he would do the same......

"Later, when the lower officials saw that the situation was not good, they quickly called in all the sergeants who were guarding outside, and only then did they rescue the people of the Turkic mission, but the house was burned clean."

Fang Zheng nodded, he understood, this thing was definitely not done by the Turks, the Turks were not so stupid, they made themselves uncomfortable, most of them were done by the people of the Hua Dynasty. They are trying to blame themselves, if the Turkic envoy is burned to death, who should bear the greatest responsibility? It's not the other young master.

Strangely, why didn't the person who set the fire start the fire at night while everyone was asleep, but during the day?

Thinking about it, of course, Fang Zheng couldn't be stupid enough to run in front of the Turks and admit that it was the Hua Dynasty people who set the fire, and saying this would be extremely unfavorable to the negotiations in a few days, but the only way to do it now is to muddy the water and put the basin on the heads of the Turks.

Fang Zheng walked up to the national teacher and Datata, coughed twice, and said earnestly: "Two noble envoys, just say if you have any opinions, you can't set fire to the house, right?" The crime of arson is a serious crime in our court, and your legal awareness is so weak that I don't even know how to explain it to the court......"

Mo Jian said angrily: "Lord Fang, the old man speaks and acts in a dignified manner, I swear to the true god of the grassland that this matter is definitely not done by the old man!" ”

Fang Zheng turned his head to Dattata in confusion and said, "Could it be that you did this?" And then you thief shouting to catch the thief? ”

Lu Hongwen translated Fang Zheng's words, and Datata raised his head like an enraged lion and roared wildly, his face was half black and half red with anger, and he yelled at Fang Zheng very unceremoniously.

Lu Hongwen translated: "He said that the true God will punish the villain who lies, he is innocent, if Lord Fang does not believe him, he is willing to use his own blood to wash away the shame of being wronged." ”

Fang Zheng thought to himself, isn't the villain who lies me? However, your true god is in charge of that part of the grassland, and we belong to the jurisdiction of the Jade Emperor, and your true god cannot enforce the law across regions, so this matter will not be counted on my head in the end.

Fang Zheng spread his hands and said innocently: "Both of you said that you didn't do it yourself, it can't be that we from the Hua Dynasty did it, right?" To tell the truth, this is the territory of the Hua Dynasty, if I really want to kill you, I can send an army to destroy you in a dignified manner, can I use this kind of trick? Did you know that this house is expensive? The wood, the carving, and the tiles are all of the finest materials, and now a fire is burned clean, and there is no murderer to be found. ”

Mo Jianlian glanced at Fang Zheng intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Lord Fang, now that the murderer can't be found, this matter depends on the old man's opinion, so forget it, fortunately, no one was injured, it is better to leave this matter to your yamen to investigate." ”

Fang Zheng was waiting for this sentence, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "Very good, very good." As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Dattata, "What do you say?" ”

After listening to Lu Hongwen's translation, Dattata snorted heavily, twisted his head to the side, and did not speak, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence to the matter.

Fang Zheng said with a smile: "That's right, shake hands, everyone is good friends, just a house, burn as much as you like, for the sake of you being guests from afar, and we will see each other again, the house will not be compensated by you, and it should be a gift from the official to you." Oh, it's happy, everyone is happy, how good. ”

The implication was that Fang Zheng still pinned the matter of burning the house on the Turkic mission.

The two messengers' faces changed when they heard this, and after thinking about it, they finally couldn't help but say nothing.

Mo Jian smiled and said: "Lord Fang, I have caused you trouble, the old man really can't help it, thank you very much." The old man would like to ask, when should we start talking about the alliance between you and me? There are many state affairs on the grassland, and the old man hurried back when he was in a hurry to finish his work, and asked Lord Fang to take the time to discuss it early. ”

Fang Zheng snorted twice and said, "Your envoy only came yesterday, why rush the negotiation?" There is a saying in our Hua Dynasty, called 'you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry', tofu, have you ever eaten it? Soft, slippery...... By the way, you haven't seen the entertainment life of our Hua Dynasty, have you? I'll take you to the Qinhuai River in the evening, the moon is very round, and the tofu there is delicious......"

Mo Jian couldn't help but see this slick kid talking around, but he didn't say when he would negotiate, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Dattata spoke another Turkic dialect, and Lu Hongwen translated: "He said that their Great Khan of Mosi was the greatest and most noble Khan king of the steppe, and the people of the Chinese Dynasty could only get real benefits by forming an alliance with them. ”

Fang Zheng shook his hand and smiled: "Now is not the time to talk about this matter, hehe, the two noble envoys, this official should settle a new place for you, this place is unbearable, the two noble envoys will go back and freshen up, your current appearance will scare the children when you run out......"

After saying that, Fang Zheng ordered several officials of the Ministry of Rites to start rearranging the two missions to their residences, and Fang Zheng specially ordered that they should not be arranged together, it was best to stay away, so as to save them from being idle and fighting in groups.

After finishing the order, Fang Zheng said goodbye to the two Turkic envoys, and before leaving, Mo Jianlian pulled him aside, and said with a smile: "Lord Fang, the old man wants to ask, have you offended anyone in your court?" ”

Fang Zheng said: "What do you mean?" ”

Mo Jianlian glanced at Datata and said with a smile: "Today's fire is a little strange, the old man can be sure that it was not our Turkic people, hehe, Lord Fang, this is someone who wants to take the trouble on you." ”

Fang Zheng was shocked, this old man was too shrewd, he could see so much inside information from some clues, this old man was not easy to deal with.

After Mo Jianlian said this, he patted Fang Zheng's shoulder with a smile and left.

Fang Zhengleng came back to his senses after being in place for a long time, and suddenly seemed to remember something, Fang Zheng chased after him and shouted: "Hey, do you go to the Qinhuai River to enjoy the moon and eat tofu at night?" You're welcome, our emperor has a treat......"
