335. Shocked to learn of self-theft (2)
The stormy gunfire stopped, and the strong smell of blood filled Sitku's nostrils, which he had never felt wrong before, but today, the smell terrified him from the depths of his heart.
Strictly speaking, the shooting didn't last long, just over six minutes, but for Sitku it was longer than a year. He asked himself more than once, had he been shot to death, beaten to the head like the master of the cow, or had he been beaten into a sieve like the old captive? Therefore, when the gunfire stopped, he still did not come back to his senses, and he still kept shaking in place.
Wang Qinian pouted, he also wanted to come down to check his results, but was stopped by Yu Guozhen, which made him very unhappy. When I was bored, I could only use my binoculars to look around. When he heard the sound of "there is still a living" from there, he immediately stretched out his head to see that among the pile of corpses, a prisoner was dragged out.
He burst into a heartless laugh as he recognized this Jian Yu as the guy he had originally targeted.
He thought he had killed him with one shot, but he didn't expect that guy's life to be quite big.
Xi Teku, who was already so frightened that he peed his pants, was dragged in front of Yu Guozhen, he knelt on the ground, shaking all his body, the attack just now had made him lose all his courage.
He didn't even dare to raise his head to look at the person in front of him.
A hand grabbed his hair fiercely and pulled his head up, of course, only Wang Qinian would do such a boring thing. Sitku thought he was going to kill him, and he was busy begging for mercy, but now he finally let Yu Guozhen see him.
Although he is young, as long as he joins the army, he is an enemy. Even the civilians, women, children, old and weak, cannot be said to be completely innocent. They enjoyed the fruits of the looting and slaughter, and they encouraged their relatives to kill the Ming and the rest of the surrounding tribes.
They all have a responsibility, and they must not be let go lightly on the grounds that they are old and weak, women and children.
Xi Teku also saw Yu Guozhen, because Yu Guozhen was younger, so he didn't look much older, but in today's situation, Xi Teku not only did not despise Yu Guozhen, but was more afraid.
In Manchuria, the one who can command so many elite warriors at such a young age is not a Dorobele, but also a solid mountain shell. Sitku was only the lowliest tribal warrior in Manchuria, and his father was a slave to the nobles for a long time.
Therefore, when he saw the killing intent in Yu Guozhen's eyes, he immediately kowtowed again and again, even if Wang Qinian grabbed his hair, he couldn't pull him.
"Master, master, spare your life, spare your life! There is a love in return, and a slave has a love in return! ”
Hearing that this kid could speak a good Chinese language, and then his mouth was full of "master, slave", the killing intent in Yu Guozhen's eyes faded slightly, and he was replaced by a dumb smile.
Seemingly...... This is the real slave surname, and it has infected some women in the minds of later generations.
"You know how to speak, that's good." Yu Guozhen originally wanted to kill him because many Manchus couldn't speak Chinese, couldn't communicate and couldn't take him away, in this case, of course, the killing was fast. But this kid knows Chinese, so that's easy to do. He forced his gaze at Xiteku and said, "If you are useless, I don't need to be alive, I just need to go back and make meritorious contributions." ”
In fact, Xiteku was already frightened without his scare, and after hearing this, his head was like pounding garlic: "There is gold and silver in the stockade, and there is gold and silver in the stockade!" ”
"Huh?"
Yu Guozhen was a little surprised, but there was no need for this kid to say, and soon Tian Boguang came with a surprised face: "Little official, a large amount of gold and silver have been found, a total of eight cars!" ”
"Where does this gold and silver come from?" Yu Guozhen groaned slightly, this time the captives are all here to pick up Azig, it stands to reason that now Azig is still wreaking havoc in Gyeonggi, it is impossible for him to send the gold and silver obtained from the looting here, unless......
At this thought, his face changed drastically.
"It was sent by King Wuyingjun, that is, from the cold mouth!" Sitku said loudly.
Sure enough, it was sent by Azig!
Azig was the seventh day of the seventh day of the seventh month of Changping, and it was from this point that he really looted in Gyeonggi, Yu Guozhen thought that Azig had carried everything he had looted, but he never thought that he had quietly sent the most valuable and easy-to-carry gold and silver out of the pass!
He entered Gyeonggi from Yanqing, but it was impossible to send back the gold and silver by the same route, because that would require a big detour, and the road was far away, and it was impossible to send it here now. And Xiteku's confession proves Yu Guozhen's conjecture, but it shows another thing that he can send the gold and silver of the eight carts out of the customs from the cold mouth of the Ming army's heavy guards.
There is internal annihilation, and the status of this internal annihilation is not low!
Cui Bingde, the cold-mouthed guard, can release Yu Guozhen and his party of 170 people, then others can put eight carts over!
Taking a deep breath, Yu Guozhen closed his eyes slightly, thinking in his heart which person might be the internal annihilation. However, he was very unfamiliar with these border generals, although Zhang Chi helped him collect some information from Liu Jingyao, but with that information alone, he could find out the internal annihilation!
"Who sent the gold and silver, and how did these eight carts get cold, do you know?"
Yu Guozhen didn't have hope for this question, Xi Teku was just an ordinary Eight Banner soldier, and such things should be relatively confidential, especially how to be too cold-mouthed, and he would definitely not let him know.
"The minions don't know, those people are all Mingren, and the minions can only hear what they say......"
Siteku knew that it was at this time whether he could save his surname, so when he said this, he paused for a moment, and then kowtowed repeatedly: "The slave is willing to serve the master, and the slave is willing to tell the master everything he knows, and only ask the master to leave the slave a dog's life, so that he can be a cow and a horse for the master!" ”
"Cattle as horses?" Yu Guozhen's heart moved slightly.
Of course, he didn't need the Jianguo of Xiteku to be a cow and a horse, if he needed a cow and a horse, then he wanted the entire Jianyu group, including the Mongolian people who were attached to him, to provide wool for the looms of China and beef and mutton for the kitchens of China.
"I won't hide it from you, if what you say works for me, then I can keep you for your life, but if it doesn't work, you have to die." Yu Guozhen said: "You can choose, whether to gamble once or die now." ”
"The slave gambles, the slave can trust the master, the master is such a big person, there is a good time to take the slave, but he will not lose his trust to the slave for no reason......"
Although this guy is small, his mouth is very neat, perhaps this is the reason why he can learn to speak fluent Chinese with the people of Han Junqi. Yu Guozhen didn't care about his little tricks, he just smiled, and Xiteku gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said, "Those people say that the dead eunuch is really greedy and bold, and it is in vain that stupid emperor trusts him so much. ”
Yu Guozhen's eyes suddenly froze!
This dead eunuch has already transferred the suspicious object from the border guard to the eunuch of the prison army, and the "stupid emperor" must refer to Chongzhen, the eunuch of the prison army trusted by Chongzhen......
Yu Guozhen immediately thought of Gao Qi Diive!
Among the internal prisons, in addition to Cao Huachun, Gao Qiqian is probably the most trusted by Chongzhen, and even Chongzhen's trust in him is better than Cao Huachun! In the fifth year of Chongzhen, he supervised the army to crusade against the rebellion of Denglai Kong Youde and others, and later supervised the army Ning Jin. When Chongzhen was eight years old, Chongzhen couldn't resist the ministers and dismissed the eunuchs of the town supervisors, but he did not remove him only on the grounds of "knowing the soldiers". And now, when Jianyu entered the Kou Jing Division, Chongzhen's initial use of the governor's army was Gao Qiqian, even after Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, invited himself to be the governor of Beijing, Gao Qiqian was also reappointed as the chief army!
If it is really a high dive, then don't say that arranging a few big cars to go out of the customs is to arrange hundreds of thousands of people to go out of the customs, and no one will say a word!
In addition to Gao Qiqian, the rest of the eunuchs around Gao Qiqian are also possible, but Gao Qiqian's suspicion is undoubtedly the greatest.
Yu Guozhen's impression of Gao Qi's potential history is that when Lu Xiangsheng led 5,000 hungry and tired lone troops to Jianyu, Gao Qiqian was less than 50 miles away from him, but he refused to rescue, resulting in Lu Xiangsheng's defeat and death. He didn't know that in history, Chongzhen trusted Gao Qiqian, and whenever it was critical, he would use Gao Qiqian to supervise the army, and Gao Qiqian also "lived up to expectations", and always either hacked people to death for the first time, or led the elite to flee first.
Especially for Shang Jianyu, in the end, when the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty forced Shi Kefa to guard Yangzhou, it was he who went to Yangzhou to supervise the army, and the result was soon Yangzhou Shiyue, and he also naturally surrendered Jianyu.
"Very well, what you said is important, but it is of no use to me, I can probably guess who the dead eunuch is, but that person ...... I can't touch him now. ”
Yu Guozhen looked at Xiteku, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, if it was really Gao Qiqian, it would be very easy for him to kill him, but he would inevitably face Chongzhen's liquidation afterwards. Yu Guozhen didn't think that he had the same status as Gao Qiqian in Chongzhen's mind, and he didn't have much interest in helping Chongzhen sweep away the annihilation around him, after all, with Chongzhen's surname, if he swept away a Gao Qiqian, he would also use Zhao Qiqian and Li Qiqian.
Hearing this, Sitku immediately collapsed, crying and begging for mercy. Yu Guozhen glanced at Tian Boguang, Tian Boguang understood, stepped forward and said: "Son, I still need a groom, can this Jianyu be handed over to me to dispose of, if the horse is not well raised, it is not too late to kill him." ”
Yu Guozhen snorted: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, let him change his clothes, and bring this appearance back to Jingshi to know that it is a slave, and he has not been eaten alive by the people?" ”
"Even if he changes his clothes, the smell of tartar on his body can be recognized, so be it, if he is eaten alive by the people, he will be upside."
The two sang and scared this little Jianlu, Yu Guozhen really had no intention of killing him, not for the sake of Xinyi - talking to the robbers about Xinyi was ruthless and unrighteous to his own people, but because he still had a mystery.
Those who brought gold and silver, and conversed in Chinese, not Manchu, then they should also be Mingren. But they are not Gao Qiqian or the subordinates of the internal annihilation, otherwise they would not be so disrespectful to the "dead eunuch".
Who will they be?
