Chapter 318: A trump card

"My lord, I can atone for my sins and beg the adults to spare the villain." Xiang Huaixing was really scared.

Now that he is let go, he is finished, as long as this secret letter leaks out, needless to say, he will not be let go, and the people behind him will let him die without a place to bury.

"Well, it seems that Master Xiang is still a person who understands the times, so let's talk about how to atone for his sins?" Besides, he nodded.

Xiang Huaixing said: "I know a lot of things, all of which are helpful to adults, I know how they are going to deal with adults, and I will explain them all." ”

Besides, he smiled: "If that's the case, I will not only let you go, but also think of saving your dog's life." Someone, bring a pen and paper to Master Xiang and ask him to write it down. ”

A guard brought a table to Xiang Huaixing, as well as the four treasures of the study, Xiang Huaixing also let it go, and wrote out all the bad things he knew about a powerful family, and more importantly, he knew a series of tricks that this family was ready to deal with.

Besides, after reading it, he also gasped, although he didn't want a lonely future, but he didn't expect these families to be so ruthless, and they didn't even want face.

"Master Xiang, sign and draw the pledge." Besides, he said.

After Xiang Huaixing signed and drawn, he knelt down and kowtowed again: "My lord, I am obedient to your old man, please give the villain's family a way to live." ”

Besides, he nodded: "Okay, since you know how to be a man so well, of course I won't lose my trust, after I leave, you can hang up your crown and abscond, you go to Nanjing, take my letter to find the people of Zhongshan Palace, they will protect you, remember, don't come out even a step by hiding in Nanjing City, otherwise your life will be lost." ”

Moreover, he wrote a letter asking his senior brother Xiao Wang Ye to protect this person.

Besides, fulfilling the promise is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also to hold this witness in his hands, which may be useful in the future, even if it is useless, it does not take much effort to protect a person in the territory of the Zhongshan Mansion in Nanjing.

Besides, he asked Ji Chang to release all the shopkeepers who were arrested, and then sent Xiang Huaixing out, and the two of them were still talking and laughing, and it seemed that the big misunderstanding had been resolved.

After Zhang Whale learned about the murderous requisition of several shops, he also came to the door.

"I said can you kid stop a little, you have the right now, but what you do now will be responsible in the future. My old man is doing this for your good, don't say I didn't remind you in the future. ”

"I know, I know, but if your old man saw this, he wouldn't have scolded me for nonsense." Besides, he laughed.

He showed those secret letters and Xiang Huaixing's confession to Zhang Whale, Zhang Whale jumped to his feet and scolded before he finished reading it, what he hated most was that these letters actually said that he dared to break his wrist with the emperor, which choked his lungs.

"This bastard who writes about heavenly killing, all of them should be killed, and no one is left, the saint is too tolerant of them."

"How about my lord, compared to these letters, my requisition of their supplies is not excessive, right?" And smirked.

"It's not too much, not only should their supplies be requisitioned, but I think they should be copied from all over the country, and even their old nests in Beijing should be destroyed." Zhang Whale scolded angrily.

Besides, shrugging his shoulders, Zhang Whale is just saying that the emperor feels tricky about those powerful families, and there is no good way to deal with them now. Besides, all that can be done is to copy so many stores, and nothing else can be done.

After reading Xiang Huaixing's confession, Zhang Whale panicked even more, and hurriedly said: "I said boy, let's hurry back to the house, it's hard to go outside." ”

What he saw was that several powerful families were actually trying to incite the Warat and Uliangha tribes outside the fortress to attack the diplomatic mission, and then throw the black cauldron on the back of the Tatar king.

Warat's power is no longer at its peak, but it was this tribe that wiped out the 600,000 elites of the Ming Dynasty in the first war, and the vitality of the Ming Empire was greatly damaged.

To say that the original Mongolian tribes, the most harmful to the Ming Dynasty was this Warat tribe. Uliangha is also not a fuel-efficient lamp, and its combat power is not much worse than that of Warat.

Although the Tatars are now the most powerful tribes in the steppes, they are not the only ones, but they have conquered large and small tribes and unified them into a whole over the years, but the Warat and Uliangha tribes still have their own ghosts, and they are obedient to the Tatar king on the surface, and secretly have their own little abacus.

"Don't worry, my lord, if we don't know their conspiracy, we may really be in great danger, now that we know, as long as we inform the king of Alta, the trouble of these two tribes will be handled by the king of Alta." Besides, there are hidden worries in my heart, but it is impossible to go home.

Zhang Whale can go back, but he can't go back, and he can't go back without completing all the procedures of the negotiation.

"Don't worry, my lord, don't I still have 10,000 soldiers and horses, even if anyone dares to offend, I am sure to fight back. At least the safety of the boss can be guaranteed. "Besides, coaxing this palace boss like a child.

"Is it really okay? Don't lie to me, old man. "Zhang Whale's legs are a little weak, and his head is a little dizzy.

He was really afraid of Warat's prestige, lest he encounter another tragedy in the civil fort, and then there was really no way to live.

"Don't worry, my lord, King Alta also really wants peace talks, and he will not let anyone sabotage this negotiation. In addition, there are a lot of goods in these shops, and when we get rid of them, we can buy goods outside the plug, bring them back to the mainland and sell them again, half of the money I earn will be used for military expenses, and the other half will be given to the little brother as a meeting gift, the little brother will follow us for a trip, how can you not go back empty-handed. "Besides, it's tempting.

"Well, if you kid has a conscience, how much silver can you earn?" When Zhang Whale heard the silver, his heart became bold.

"I don't dare to say more, I didn't run away for 10,000 taels of silver." Besides, guaranteed.

"There are so many, Lao Tzu fights, accompany you for a while. Boy, in case of any danger, you must remember to protect my old man. At the end, Zhang Whale's face became sad again.

"Of course, I just buried my own life outside the fortress, and I want to protect you to come back safely, otherwise how can I give the emperor a mission."

Moreover, when he was comforting and luring Zhang Whale here, the prefect Xiang Huaixing hurried back to the mansion, and did not greet the people below, hurriedly packed up the gold and silver, and fled out of the city with the old and young people, just leaving the prefect's seal on the lobby, which is the so-called hanging crown and absconding.

After Fu Cheng went back, he found out about the situation, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to report to the governor Yamen, who was even more confused, and first ordered Fu Cheng to temporarily take charge of the seal letter and handle government affairs, while sending someone to investigate what happened.

He didn't know about these things, he had already gone far with his army.

There are a few places to pick up the goods in the back, and they are also the branches of those powerful families, and these stores seem to have received new notices, and they have obediently delivered the goods, and there is no resistance at all, and they are so seamless that they can't find an excuse to requisition.

"These bastards are too uncooperative, how can this make Lord Ben play." Besides, he looked up to the sky and sighed.

Zuo Ling pursed his lips and smiled: "It's not that people don't cooperate, it's that you play too hard, and getting started is requisitioning, even if someone brings goods to requisition, who can stand it." ”

Besides, I also reflected on whether I had gone too far, but there was no other way, if I didn't use thunderbolt means at that time, I wouldn't have been able to get those evidence, and I would have to be splashed with sewage that I was forced to buy and sell.

"You've made such a big formation, I'm worried that we won't be able to get out of the border." What Zuo Ling had been worried about was that the Tatar side would not let the army enter to protect the merchant group.

"Don't worry, we've got a good reason now."

Moreover, he told the story of the collusion of some people in the capital with the Warat and Uliangha tribes outside the city to prepare for an attack on the diplomatic missions and merchant groups.

"That's why we have to protect the merchants."

"What if they don't even let the caravan enter?" Zuo Ling asked again.

"Then let's not talk about it, let's go home. They won't even do business with us, what else are they talking about? "Besides, I'm not worried about that.

Zuo Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly, always feeling that it was too simple, and it was difficult to say what kind of excuse the Tatars would find to refuse the entry of the merchant group and the army.

"You don't have to worry, the Tatars are also virtuous, they will bring a lot of goods into the mainland to sell, and then buy the goods from the mainland and go back to resell, this is their usual trick. If we can't get in, they won't want to come out, the same deal. Besides, he laughed.

"You're saying they'll take the caravan with them like we do?" Zuo Ling was surprised.

"Of course, every time the vassal states did so in the name of tribute, and now that there is a more legitimate status as diplomatic envoys, the Tatar envoys will never let go of such a good opportunity."

"But will they bring so many people like we do?" Zuo Ling asked as he looked at the convoy behind him that stretched for more than ten miles.

Besides, his face was a little dark, this time he brought too many people and things, it is estimated that it is impossible for the Tatar side to do this, after all, there are restrictions on every entry, although every time the people of these vassal countries will exceed the prescribed limit, but it will not exceed so much.

"Don't worry about these things for now, anyway, there will be a way to get to the ground." Besides, grit your teeth and don't waver.

"What's the solution, you tell me first, I'll be more at ease." Zuo Ling was a little upset.

"I have my own way, anyway, I can enter the outside of the Saiwai, and the Jiren have their own natural appearance."

This time it was not only a merchant to make money, but also an excellent opportunity for these soldiers to exercise, if they could take the opportunity to find out the terrain and landforms outside the fortress, it would be of great benefit to the Tatar war in the future, which would be regarded as an additional gain.

In fact, 10,000 soldiers had to protect 5,000 carts pulling goods, and each cart only had two soldiers, which basically tied the soldiers to the goods of the merchant group, and there was not much attack power in addition to protecting the goods, and the Tatars should not have too many scruples.

Of course, he also has a trump card, that is, if the Tatars do not let the merchant group enter the outside of the Saiwai, he will simply not even enter the mission, and go back to his home, each to his own home, and to find his own mother.

Let's see who is the first to lose their breath. Besides, it's this scheming that is blocked.
