Chapter 344: The Willows and Flowers Are Bright
Besides, seeing that they spoke in unison, they all said that they couldn't negotiate without two people, so they knew it in their hearts. Of course he didn't believe it, but he was willing to hear it, wouldn't it be better not to talk about it, and he could go back now.
Although he bought too many materials along the way, it didn't matter, he could pull it back and sell it slowly, but it was just to make less money, and he was not so short of money now, so he didn't have to put his life on the line for silver.
Cao Delin and these officials came over just to put pressure on the situation, so that he forced the governor and governor Yamen to do their best to find out the whereabouts of those two, as for not being able to find any other way, but no one thought about simply not holding this negotiation, which is also crazy.
However, now that they have taken their words as a pretext, the blame has been lightly shifted to them, and of course they cannot afford to call off this negotiation.
"Lord Qincha, that's not the case, it's best to find the two rich adults, if you can't find it, then think of other alternatives." Cao Delin said with a smile.
He glanced at Gavin Hu, meaning to say: See, Xiao Qin has made a difference, and everyone will have to be careful in the future.
"There's an alternative, so what's that alternative?" Besides, he asked with a serious face.
"This ......"
Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't say why.
Alternatives can certainly be thought of, but it doesn't seem to be that time yet, and this will only be done when no one can be found.
"Don't you know?" And laughed sarcastically.
He could have taken them and showed them a decree, which clearly stated that he had the right to deal with all matters in the negotiations, and all these matters naturally included everything, whether it was at the negotiating table or under the negotiating table, and even the arrangements of all personnel.
But he didn't want to talk about it now, but he wanted these people to take the initiative to say that they couldn't negotiate, which would be better.
With the so-called treasure map, it is really a dead end for him to enter the outside of the fortress now, let alone these people, and no one will have any hope of coming back alive.
Although he has come up with a way to cleverly set up a puzzle and transfer the so-called treasure map to others, this is only a temporary relaxation step, and it is difficult to say how the situation will develop in the future.
In case this situation is seen through, he will be beaten back to square one and continue to be the target of many forces.
Therefore, he now hopes that these people with big backgrounds can make trouble from this negotiation to stop, as long as they are in the mainland, he is not afraid of those with bad intentions.
"What if...... After three days, I still couldn't find the two rich adults, so I had to write to the court and ask the saint to judge it. Cao Delin said slowly after considering the words.
"Well, that's fine, let's trouble the two adults in this matter." Besides, he smiled and arched his hand, and threw this hot potato to Cao Delin and Gavin Hu.
These two people complained bitterly in their hearts, but they were helpless, who let themselves take the initiative to speak, but this is also the only way at present.
But there is a problem with this method, that is, it takes a period of time, and it will take one day and one night to go to the capital from here at the earliest, and it will be more than two days to go back and forth, and it will be left for the emperor and the cabinet to study and discuss, I don't know how long, and it will take ten days to have a reply at the earliest, but the Tatar negotiators have already arrived outside the border, are they willing to wait for so long?
"Well, but the Tatars have heard that it is a prince, and I hope that Lord Chincha will be able to appease this man for a while." Cao Delin said.
"Well, well, I'll visit their camp tomorrow." Besides, he laughed.
"Visiting them in the camp? It's too dangerous, so it's better to invite them into the customs. Gavin Tiger was surprised.
"When we go out, you are afraid of danger, so that people come in and people don't have to worry about safety? Besides, now that they are at our doorstep, we are afraid that they will not succeed. Besides, he said coldly.
After Gavin Hu and the others left, Zhuo Maolin quietly walked in and whispered in his ear: "There is the whereabouts of those two people." ”
Besides, he was refreshed: "Where?" ”
"In ...... This location is more sensitive. Zhuo Maolin rubbed his hands and said.
"Sensitive? How sensitive can it be, is it because the governor's yamen can't do it? ”
"Not really, but it's troublesome enough, it's the mansion of a general at the border, and two of my men saw them enter the mansion as if they had never come out again. The problem is that I can't be sure about this, but I can be sure that they have been in. ”
"Are you really sure they got in?" And rejoice.
This is the best news now, no matter what news comes from all sides, no witnesses can be found, and these two people seem to have disappeared directly into the air after going out of the post house.
"Yes, I showed the portraits of the two officers to my men, and there were three of them nearby, and they all saw the general personally greet the two men in, but they didn't come out afterwards. But if they come out through another door or at night, they may not be able to see it. ”
Besides, he said with a smile: "Don't care about this first, if you can be sure that they have arrived at this house, it will be a big breakthrough, as long as you find this general, you can know where they went after leaving, and who they are going to visit, at least there are clues to check." Someone comes, prepare the car immediately. ”
"Brother Besides, don't be too happy first, these generals at the border are all fierce generals, and it is difficult to deal with, if he refuses to explain to you truthfully, what should I do?"
"Titan? I want to see what it is like to be a proud soldier today, and I really don't accept the control of the Celestial Empire? And sneered.
However, he also had an extra mind, and asked Ji Chang to follow with three hundred guards, and at the same time asked Zhou Dingcheng to inform the governor and governor and invite them to be present as well.
He also invited two Du Yushi to accompany him and briefly explained the situation.
When the two of them heard that there was a clue about the missing official, they were also overjoyed and followed in their cars.
On the way, I inquired about the identity of this general, the level is not high, just a deputy general, equivalent to the level of a thousand households, but the problem of the protection of the military generals is more serious, and the military generals are more united than the civilian officials, so the border army is the biggest force here, even the governor Wang Chonggu coaxed them and did not dare to take tough measures. As for the governor Fang Shifeng, because he has no military power, he has little binding force on these generals.
Besides, he is not afraid of any generals, his biggest headache is dealing with old oilmen in the court like Gavin Hu, there are all kinds of twists and turns in every word and deed, sometimes you can't figure it out at all, it's too brain-consuming.
came to a luxurious mansion in the south of the city, and got out of the carriage and asked Ji Chang to come forward and hand over the greetings.
The porter of the mansion was also a veteran, and when he saw Besides, Ji Chang and others, he was startled, and hurriedly came out to salute and then took the post and ran in to report.
After a while, a young general came out and said to the situation: "I don't know if Lord Qincha has arrived, and I have missed the welcome, but my father is in the army and is not at home, so I can't entertain you." ”
"You're General Liao's son, right?" Besides, depending on the situation, guess seven or eight points.
"Exactly. The last general, Liao Jingsheng, had met Lord Qincha. The young general had seen it again.
"The little general doesn't have to be polite, we just came to inquire about the whereabouts of the two colleagues, it is said that Lord Lingzun has invited these two adults to be guests, so we want to know if these two colleagues are still in the Zun Mansion, if not, where did they go after leaving, and who are they going to visit?" Besides, he waved his hand.
Ji Chang came over to show Liao Jingsheng the portraits of the two missing officials.
After reading it, Liao Jingsheng shook his head and said: "You adults may be mistaken, my father invited guests two days ago, but it was not these two adults. ”
"Not them? The little general took a closer look. "And he did not believe.
"Don't look at it anymore, my father invited two close friends, and the last general is also very familiar, the two adults on this portrait are very face-to-face, and they have never seen each other." Liao Jingsheng shook his head in affirmation, and didn't look at the portrait anymore.
At this time, the governor Wang Chonggu also hurried to come in a sedan chair, and after seeing the situation, the two of them simply met the courtesy, and then briefly talked about the situation, Wang Chonggu also heard Zhou Dingcheng say, so he hurried over to help investigate.
"Jingsheng, is your father really not at home? He's not on duty today, huh? Wang Chonggu wondered.
"This ...... Lord Governor, my father forgot one thing, so he went to the army to deal with it, not to be on duty. Liao Jingsheng said in a little panic.
"Little General, do you know how much this matter has to stake? This matter is related to whether the negotiations of the imperial court can proceed normally, and whether the situation at the border can be eased or will become more tight, and this is a matter that is closely related to you. You might as well take a closer look at the portrait. Besides, he said patiently.
"Don't look any further, Lord Qincha, please forgive the last general's rudeness, these two adult generals really haven't seen each other, don't know each other, and haven't come to the house as guests." Liao Jingsheng denied it.
Besides, he felt that something was wrong, originally he really didn't notice anything, since Wang Chonggu arrived, Liao Jingsheng was a little flustered, obviously he said that his father went to the army was a lie.
"Little general, let's do it, we've been a little thirsty all the way, how about going to the house to pay a visit and ask for some drink?" Besides, he laughed.
He gave Ji Chang a look, and Ji Chang understood, and waved his hand to the guards, who began to spread out, surrounding the perimeter of this mansion.
"You ...... What are you doing? After all, Liao Jingsheng was still young, and he was a little flustered when he saw such a posture.
"Little General, it's okay, Lord Qincha is going to be a guest at the mansion, we have to take the necessary protective measures first." Ji Chang came over and patted Liao Jingsheng's shoulder and smiled.
"Don't use it, the general's house is very safe, and there are guards at home to protect it." Liao Jingsheng was skeptical.
Wang Chonggu sighed in his heart: This stupid boy, are people afraid that any of you will run away, where is the protection of whom? He was also very worried, and besides, his methods were too simple and rude, which would cause adverse reactions.
