Chapter 354: Entering the Prison (II)
"General Nie?" Zhong Yu frowned slightly, if he remembered correctly, there didn't seem to be such an officer surnamed Nie in this Yinchuan Fort. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing his puzzled look, the man had already understood, and quickly explained: "General Nie is not here, but outside Yinchuan Fort, he ......"
This sentence, combined with this person's sneaky behavior in the middle of the night, made Zhong Yu quickly understand who General Nie he was talking about: "You said that Nie Fei asked you to come to see this official?" As he spoke, a pair of eyes pierced the man like sharp swords.
The man seemed to be taken by Zhong Yu's momentum, and couldn't help but duck back, his throat rolling, as if he was swallowing saliva. After a moment, he replied, "Exactly...... He had something important to talk to the adults about, and it was about the inside story of the mutiny......"
Zhong Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was constantly making judgments in his heart, is this true, or is someone calculating himself? However, looking at this person's appearance, it didn't seem like a fake, so he continued to ask: "You said that you were entrusted by Nie Fei to come, do you have any evidence?" ”
"This ...... But no. The man shook his head slightly: "General Nie is now full of enemies, don't dare to take this risk to give me any certificate." But he mentioned that if adults don't believe me, I can prove it with one sentence. ”
"Oh? But what is it? ”
"This mutiny is not just a problem of insufficient food, but also because it is related to the north."
Zhong Yu looked stunned when he said this sentence, this is the truth that he found out not long ago, it seems that this person's words are seventy percent credible. But Zhong Yu still had three doubts: "How does he, Nie Fei, know that this official will send you to see me here and now?" ”
"Your Excellency is known for your integrity in the court, and even our soldiers in the border areas have heard of your name for a long time. And don't look at General Nie now that he has become a public enemy of Datong, in fact, he still has many friends, and we are all secretly trying to help him, and I am just one of them. The man quickly explained.
This explanation is also reasonable, which makes Zhong Yu's suspicion a little less. His expression softened a little, and he asked, "Then tell me, why did Nie Fei call you to find this official?" ”
"Yes......" The man hesitated for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "He hopes to meet with the adults, tell his grievances truthfully, and hope that through the adults, he will return his innocence and let the court forgive his sins." ”
"Oh? He wants to see me, why did he let you come here? ”
"My lord, General Nie doesn't dare to come to the place where the officials and troops gather now, let alone this Yinchuan Fort, even if it is an ordinary station, he doesn't dare to approach."
"Then how does he want to see this official?" Zhong Yu actually had the answer in his heart, but he still asked.
"He wants the adults to go out from here and meet him alone." After saying this, the man couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Zhong Yu, wanting to see his mind from his expression.
But this time, Zhong Yu was about to disappoint him, only to see that his face was dark, and he didn't have any emotions exposed. In fact, Zhong Yu was also a little moved by this proposal, although he had a lot of evidence about this mutiny, but the truth was still not enough, only a woman's words and a letter. If there is more evidence from Nie Fei this time, then after going back, it will be even more able to convince the courtiers and the Son of Heaven.
Seeing that Zhong Yu was silent, the man seemed a little anxious, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the adults mean?" ”
Zhong Yu thought for a long time before he spoke: "I can go and see him, and I want to hear what he will say." But it is impossible to meet him alone, and I will take my guards with me. ”
"Actually, what General Nie means is that as long as the adults don't let the officials of Datong know about this, as for the adults' own personal guards, they are naturally not among them." The man nodded quickly.
"Where does he want to meet me?" Zhong Yu then asked this crucial question.
"Bai Mountain, General Nie will be waiting for your lord there." When the message had been delivered, the man bowed his hand respectfully and withdrew from the room. Seeing him like this, Zhong Yu believed his words a little more, and felt that he really needed to go to this appointment.
Yang Zhen: They only returned to Yinchuan Fort before dawn.
Because of their unfamiliarity with this area, coupled with the fact that they only cared about finding prey, dozens of people in this group almost got lost in this undeveloped wilderness. Fortunately, Yang Zhen was able to judge the direction by the astrology above his head, so he was able to find it back, but the time was delayed for too long.
Originally, after a tiring day, plus they hadn't slept all night, they planned to get a good night's sleep after returning to Yinchuan Fort. But as soon as Yang Zhen lay down, someone came to report that Zhong Qin had something to discuss, and in desperation, he had to get up again and go to Zhong Yu's house.
After a few words of greeting, Zhong Yu told Yang Zhen about the events of last night and his decision to go to Baishan Mountain, and asked, "Is Yang Qianhu interested in going on this trip with this official?" ”
When Yang Zhen heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning: "Do you think this matter is credible?" Could it be a trap? ”
"What trap? Who would set such a trap for me? Zhong Yu asked disappreciatively.
"Maybe this is a trap set up by Liu Yingji and them to frame adults. Once the adults go, they will insist that you are in a rebellious collusion with Nie Fei, and at that time, even if you have the evidence, they will be able to refute it. Yang Zhen speculated.
"This ......" Zhong Yu hesitated for a moment, but quickly shook his head again: "This is impossible, they don't know that we have some evidence that is extremely unfavorable to them, how can they design it like this?" ”
Yang Zhen couldn't refute what he said, so he had to nod and say, "Although there is some truth in what my lord said, even if it is not so, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be danger on the side of Bai Mountain." What if Nie Fei wanted to use this to catch the adult, and then bargain with the officials here? ”
"It's not that this official is going alone, I will take the Qincha guards to Baishan Mountain together, they are all elites in the Beijing camp, enough to ensure my safety, you don't have to worry."
"But ......" Yang Zhen was about to persuade a few more words, but was interrupted by Zhong Yu waving his hand: "Yang Qianhu, you don't have to say any more, the official has made up his mind, this time you must go to Baishan Mountain to meet Nie Fei for a while, if you feel uneasy, you can not go." ”
"......" Yang Zhen saw him say this, knowing that it was useless to persuade him, so he could only sigh: "Since the adults have decided to go, then the lower officials should follow." But I still say that you have to be wary that this is a trap. At the same time, he also muttered in his heart, why is Zhong Yu always a little different from himself in judging things this time, and he is still so stubborn?
Yang Zhen obviously ignored the deep relationship between Zhong Yu and the Datong army fraud case. This incident seems to be just a collusion between Liu Yingji and other officials and the Mongolian Tartars, but judging from the previous incident sent by the Zhong family, I am afraid that they will not be able to get rid of this matter.
Although Zhong Yu has always maintained the justice that he should have as a Qincha, he is a member of the Zhong family after all, and he was raised and cultivated by them, how could he bear to see his family being implicated in this matter, and this matter was caused by himself?
Zhong Yu didn't say anything, and he was also very selfless, but he still looked at the Zhong family in his heart, hoping to exonerate his family. With no excuse at the moment, the only thing he can do is to delay the development of things as much as possible. Therefore, whether it is to accept Liu Yingji's invitation to come to the fortress outside Datong, or if you want to go to Baishan Mountain to see Nie Fei today, it is just to find a way to save the Zhong family. In the final analysis, no matter how honest and selfless people are, they are all human beings, and they all have their weaknesses, Zhong Yu's weakness is his family, not everyone can be selfless to the extent of killing relatives in righteousness.
Zhong Yu also looked a little apologetic about his insistence, so he smiled at Yang Zhen and said, "Actually, Yang Qianhu, you don't have to worry so much, maybe things are far from what you think." Maybe this time we go back to Baishan Mountain, so that we can have more evidence, and then it will be easier for the court to solve the shortcomings in the army here in Shanxi, and you and I can be regarded as doing our best for the court and the people of the world. ”
"What the lord said is very true, and the lower official understands. But I don't know when the adults plan to go to Baishan Mountain? Even if Yang Zhen is uneasy in his heart, he can only express his approval and support at this time, after all, people are right, and he is the deputy.
Zhong Yu looked at Yang Zhen and said, "This official originally planned to rush to Baishan Mountain today, but since you haven't returned all night, you must always need to rest, so let's wait for tomorrow." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, I'll arrange the preparations for the people who go with me later, and make sure to ensure the safety of the adults."
"I'm tired." Zhong Yu solemnly bowed his hand to Yang Zhen.
When night fell again, a figure had already appeared in the woods where Yang Zhen and the others had passed yesterday. As soon as he appeared, he was surrounded by countless strong men who had already been alarmed, and looking at those fierce eyes full of hostility, the man's body trembled, and he hurriedly shouted in Mongolian language, which was not too fluent: "I am here to deliver a letter to you, is your Taijike?" ”
"You were sent by Liu Yingji?" In the crowd, the bearded man walked out and asked.
"Exactly. My family said that the goal is to go to Baishan Mountain tomorrow, so please prepare early. The man replied with courage.
"Hmm, I see." The Mongolian man nodded, and when he saw that the man was leaving, he said again: "You also bring a message to Liu Yingji, telling him to hurry up and prepare all the goods and property promised to us." If he repents after this happens, be careful that my army will break through his Datong City! ”
"Yes, yes, the little one made a note of it." The man nodded his head again and again, and then he didn't dare to go out of the woods without daring to turn back.
"Hmph, Mingren is useless, he will only fight in the nest ......" The big man snorted disdainfully, and then waved his hand to call everyone back to rest.
