Even if he was tied to the city gate tower and saw Shen Mo, Qiu Qianhu firmly believed that he was for the sake of the mountain and fell short.

Let him kneel, he insisted on not kneeling, the guards had to kick his knee socket violently, he suddenly knelt on the ground, still unconvinced and shouted, "You open the city gate and welcome my master into the city, his old mana is boundless, curse everyone to death, drink the city collapse!" If you open the door now, you can still save the women and children in the city, otherwise the city will be destroyed, and the corpses will be mountains and blood, and you will regret it!"

"Heh," Shen Mo saw him staring at a pair of red eyes, his face was full of madness, and he was talking crazy in a serious manner, and couldn't help laughing: "Then let's wait and see if we can witness your master's miracle at this time tomorrow." ”

"Don't wait until tomorrow!" Qiu Qianhu said loudly: "My master will destroy you, only before the end!"

"Then your master has to be able to shrink the ground into inches." Shen Mo laughed and said: "Otherwise, you won't be able to catch up tonight" If you can't catch up, his old man's house is outside the city!" Qiu Qianhu still did not believe.

"Take him out and have a look, there's a human hair outside!" With a wave of his sleeves, two soldiers lifted Qiu Qianhu and pulled him outside.

At this time, Nian Yongkang, Xing Yu, and Chen Pide ...... It was Chen Futai, who came in from the outside, and the three of them reported to Shen Moyu with three points of joy and seven points of fear on their faces; "Nine arsons were found in the city, but fortunately, God blessed, the snow was heavy, and we had prepared for it, but it was lost, and all of them have been extinguished." "But the arsonists didn't catch them all." Nian Yongkang added.

"It's okay, step up the investigation and increase vigilance." He smiled silently and said, "I'm not afraid that they will make waves again." ”

Xing Yu and Chen Pide looked incredulous and said, "My lord, don't you have a spell to make the demon chaos in advance?"

Shen Mo was just about to answer, but the guards pressed Qiu Qianhu to come in, and Qiu Qianhu, who was still in mood swings, was already completely depressed, looked at Shen Mo with blank eyes, and muttered, "Why is this?" Everyone else in the room looked at Shen Mo, hoping that he would solve the mystery.

Shen Mo smiled and said, "This is thanks to the brothers of the Jinyi Guard, it was they who were vigilant and captured the messenger of the White Lotus Sect in one fell swoop, which allowed this official to arrange calmly." ”

Chen Pide asked Nian Yongkang, "Nian Qianhu, how did you distinguish those demons, I think they are no different from ordinary people." ”

"Actually, there is a difference." Nian Yongkang said, "Although they pretend to be merchants with feet, they all have straight waists, thin thighs and thick calves, and obviously walk often, but they don't bear weight; I asked them how many years they had been in this business, and they all said that they had been in this business for three or five years, but there was no bar on their shoulders...... and they smiled and said that "and then I made an excuse at random, saying that there were contraband in the goods they carried, and the things were detained, and people could go, and those people agreed happily." He said in a deep voice: "For a real merchant, the cargo burden is the guy they eat, and it is related to whether they can survive or not. ”

Chen Pide nodded again and again when he heard this, and exclaimed: "Nian Qianhu is so careful in thinking, I will give you credit for this battle in the future." ”

"Lord Futai praised it falsely." Nian Yongkang said humbly, "Although the humble position caught those people, they were only tools to transmit messages, and they didn't know the content of the order. "Everyone said that Yongkang is a character this year, and the future is limitless.

Nian Yongkang's words caused Qiu Qianhu's frightened voice: "What? Can you decipher my peasant, the Secret Language?" Of course, this is for silence.

"I only know a little bit of skin, and I want to ask you for advice." Shen Mo smiled: "I'm really curious about your black words. ”

"You don't understand?" Qiu Qianhu wondered, "How can you fake my master's secret words?" ”

"Actually, it can't be called a forgery." Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "It should be more appropriate to say that it should be more appropriate to go back to the beginning for a while, Shen Mo finished interrogating the four White Lotus Sect messengers, got a few 'White Lotus Secret Words', and asked Nian Yongkang to find the corresponding case by comparison, so as to decipher it." He knows very well that only through the analysis of common information can useful results be obtained, and although these White Lotus secret words have few symbols and are not rich in information points, they have commonalities that can be deduced... That's the time! An unambiguous command, no matter how many elements are omitted, cannot be without a statement of time.

And Shen Mo boldly determined that Xiao Qin had no need and was unlikely to have the ability to create a language; The so-called White Lotus Secret Language is likely to be a symbolic black language, which reverses the meaning of the words and recites the words, such as the kind of harmonic gang...... Sand refers to private salt, sand cave refers to salt warehouses and the like, and Xiao Qin just expressed these meanings with symbols.

It is likely that the numbers from one to ten are represented by ten different symbols, and then appear either individually or in pairs to indicate the corresponding dates.

Feeling that his speculation was basically relying on prevarication, he silently went to the limited eight pieces of information to verify... Except for the unknown one, the other seven articles can determine the specific date, which are 'the first day of the new year, the fifth day of the first month, the eighth day of the first month, the eleventh day, the twelfth day, the eighteenth day, and the twenty-fifth day, but there is generally no twenty and three in the black language, and they are all replaced by two and three.

So I guessed silently that among these patterns, there should be three duplicate ones, and then the ones representing ten, and the ones representing two, and the ones representing eight would be next to each other, and the ones representing two and five would also be immediately one after another.

Draw these rules, and then to solve those symbols, Shen Mo first assumes that it is the date as soon as it comes up, covers the symbols behind, leaving only the first two digits, and then replaces those symbols with the corresponding time of the case, and finally counts one min, compared with one another, most of them can be matched on the number. But the last one is twenty-four instead of twenty-five, so there are not two fives, but one four and one five.

Silent but not rashly rejecting this hypothesis, he returned to the events corresponding to this date and found that it was a village-wide defection...... I was relieved, this kind of large-scale relocation of the village will inevitably drag on and dredge, and it will be a day or two later than the specified date, which is really normal.

For the sake of prudence, he compared the symbols at the back, but he could not find such regularity, and he finally determined: The first two symbols represent the date!"

Nian Yongkang suddenly smiled and said: "Then the day they launched must be the twenty-second day." This time, the first two digits of the code word are the moon, which naturally represents a two-digit repeating date, and only twenty-two of the thirty days in a month meet this condition.

Shen Mo smiled: "Yes, the moon represents two, the horseshoe represents one, and the number of raw toilets is enough."

Nian Yongkang paused, nodded convincingly: "Yes, these two numbers are enough." "No matter what tricks Xiao Qin has, as long as the date is advanced to him by one day, and the rest of the gourd is drawn, it can make the people in the dark start a day in advance, but because no one answers, they will be exposed in vain.

Silence changed the whisper of Fen Eryue into a horse's hoof, and then asked the two messengers, who were eager to make meritorious contributions, to draw them in secret places all over the city; Nian Yongkang sent people to watch in the dark to see who would come to see these code words. As a result, through this method, more than half of the spies were targeted, including Qiu Qianhu.

It was not that Qiu Qianhu was not hidden, but his identity was too sensitive, so as soon as he arrived in the alley, he was targeted by the people of Jinyiwei.

There is only one chance, and if you miss it, you won't come back, Xiao Qin's plan was seen through by the meticulous Nian Yongkang and the extremely smart Shen Shuyan, and it was destined to get a big tragedy.

Many years later, even if he was gray-haired and exiled in Siberia, Xiao Qin could not forget the fiasco he witnessed on the night of the twenty-second day of the twenty-second month of the 40th year of Jiajing, outside the snowy Xuanfu City. Facing the gaze of the four Taiji Spitfire, he was dumbfounded and speechless, the only thing he could be sure of was that his plan had failed.

"I'm going to kill you!" Huang Taiji angrily danced his horsewhip at him, Xiao Qin couldn't dodge it, and was whipped hard; Huang Taiji was about to fight again, but was stopped by his two younger brothers, and whispered: "Do you want to force Bansheng to Kekule's side?" "Kekule is the son of my brother Ji Nang, although after Ji Nang's death, I inherited most of his family business, but there are still many die-hard members who are loyal to Kekul, and I am not too bad to eat, so I also demarcated a sphere of influence for him in the East Chahar steppe. Kekule's strength is stronger than any of the four Huang Taiji, and the two sides are not very friendly, often fighting for territory.

However, at this time, this name was a good medicine to calm Huang Taiji's anger, he threw away the horsewhip in his hand, and howled heart-rending at the towering city wall of Xuanfu Factory.

Despair, despair! In this snowy winter, he came without any siege equipment, originally expecting to be able to pick up a big bargain and create a history that will last forever. Even the most optimistic Mongols don't believe that they can get their hands on Xuanfu City, stealing chickens and rice, shame, shame! If they go back like this, they can imagine Kekule's wanton ridicule, which is absolutely unacceptable, "At the very least, we want to make a big deal of them!" Huang Taiji stared at Xiao Qin viciously and said, "Otherwise, I will give you to the Ming army!"

Xiao Qin nodded with a wry smile and said, "Okay, I'll figure it out." ”

That night, the Mongols slept in the snow outside the city, and although the Ming army in the city was numerous, it was waiting for work, but it had no intention of attacking.

With the character of having more border troops than less, and less than nothing, it is better to be able to lose the Mongols away, as for going out of the city to rush and kill? It's better to save it, how dangerous it is.

Standing silently at the head of the city, looking at the Mongols sleeping in the snow unscrupulously, and then looking at the tens of thousands of armor in the city, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said in his heart: 'If you don't make some changes, you will really lose the country...... but he knows the priorities, and he doesn't say anything at the moment, so he lets them go.

There was no movement until noon the next day, and the Ming officials in the city were very happy, saying that the Tartars were discouraged and could not stay any longer.

Shen Mo also thought so, so he patiently waited for Huang Taiji to retreat, but at noon, the outside shot arrows into the city, and the defenders picked up the arrow and looked at it, with a letter attached to it, and hurriedly handed it to General Xing, who was patrolling the city. Xing Yu saw that it was Huang Taiji who wrote to Yang Shun, saying that I came as agreed and acted, you should give me silver taels and grain, right? Otherwise, I will send your handwritten letter to your emperor.

The chief of the guard who interrogated Yang Shun, that is, the person who delivered the letter, learned that Huang Taiji did have such a letter in his hand, and Yang Shun's private seal was added.

After the news was confirmed, they were silent for a long time, and the civil and military officials in the room also looked nervous, and they didn't dare to gasp, they all knew that they were in big trouble now.

This unreasonable blackmail is not as simple as it seems, and in fact, it has become a serious political problem... The big guy's first reaction was naturally not to agree. But the Tartar sent Yang Shun's letter to Beijing, disgraced the emperor and the court, and then for the sake of the court's decency, he had to admit the account and pay the money to the Tartar.

So say yes? What's more, the Ming Dynasty is an eternal diehard, with a famous three-no policy, no peace, no compensation, no land, even the emperor was arrested by others, and he didn't pay the ransom, this single letter seems to be far from being compared with the emperor, right? Moreover, in addition to asking for the agreed grain and silver taels, the Ming army also asked the Ming army to compensate the more than 600 Mongolian cavalry who were mistakenly killed yesterday, and another 100,000 taels of silver! Who can afford so much money? Even if you can afford it, you can't give it, so won't it become an enemy who bribes the enemy to beg for mercy? Who would dare to take this responsibility?

So everyone didn't dare to make a sound, and Baba looked at Shen silently, hoping that he could take responsibility...... Or rather, to carry this black cauldron.

Shen Mo was already accustomed to taking on everything, and he didn't panic at all, his brain was still clear, and he smiled at everyone: "This Huang Taiji is quite good at problems." ”

Finish.

Everyone echoed and laughed: "My lord is clever, and it is easy to deal with Tartars." "'Lift me up.'" Shen Mo smiled and said: "I don't have any good ideas, so I can only do this and go on as I am told, and the officials are dumbfounded, and they can't wait to worship him as a teacher and ask him for advice on the way of thick black."

Xiao Qin gave Huang Taiji such an idea, and the Mongols set up tents outside the city and waited for the Ming army to reply.

When it was dark, an arrow was shot down from the city, and his men showed it to Huang Taiji, who did not know Chinese characters...... Of course, I didn't know Mongolian, so I asked Xiao Qin, "What do you mean?" ”

Xiao Qin said with a gloomy face: "They said that the two armies were at war and did everything they could, and Yang Shun's letter was a ploy to lure us here, and it couldn't be used as a proof of asking for money...... Their emperor was wise, and he only laughed at it. ”

"Bastard! Shameless!" Huang Taiji bared his teeth and scolded: "The black and white words are stamped, how can they not be counted?" No matter how much he negotiated, Xuanfucheng ignored it, just thinking that he was poor and crazy.

"Find a way! You idiot!" Huang Taiji was so angry that he used Xiao Qin as a punching bag and scolded: "If you can't think of a way, I'll send you to the city!"

Xiao Qin nodded helplessly, he was actually ready for the backhand, but he was just working with Taixia, so it was useless.

The next day, Shen Mo had just gotten up, and Sanchi walked in quickly and said, "My lord, go and take a look, the Mongols are too hateful!"

Shen Mo put on a big hat, climbed the tower, and looked out, and saw the Mongol cavalry driving thousands of Han people to the city beyond the range of bows and arrows. The Mongol soldiers, armed with bows and arrows, fanned out to the panicked people, men and women, old and young, supporting and protecting each other, as if they were from the same place.

The crowd was crying and screaming, but the Mongol soldiers shot several men mercilessly, and there was a deathly silence.

I heard a voice and said loudly to these people: "If you hate it, hate your own people in the city who can't be saved, we just want to get back the money that belongs to us, release people when we get the money, and kill people if we can't get it!"

As soon as the words fell, the Mongols began to kill again...... They are intent on venting their grievances and anger these days, and they always scare the common people into distraction and tease them enough before they swing their knives and slash them.

After killing, he didn't stop, he had to take off the head, pick it up with a knife, and kick it around playing "brute!" Seeing this scene, Shen Mo's eyes were about to split, and he slammed his fist on the city bricks, and blood flowed when he landed. Xing Yu on the side hurriedly said, "My lord, your hand is bleeding." As he spoke, he was about to go up and bandage him, but he was pushed away by Shen Mo rudely.

Seeing that Lord Shen, who had always been gentle as jade, was so angry, Xing Yu was a little stunned, but saw Shen Mo waving his bloody hand and said: "If the planted hand breaks a little skin, you are nervous like this, and the people outside are killed like this, but you are insensitive!!" Shen Mo's delicate face was full of anger at the moment, hideous and terrifying, and he erupted like a lion in the city: "Even if you forget that you are a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, do you forget that you are a man?!
