East Borneo Province, Pontianak Province. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

A horse-drawn carriage runs on a bluestone pavement before finally stopping at a manor house outside Pontianak.

The door of the carriage opened, and the first thing that came out was a middle-aged man dressed as a merchant in a silk robe, who was none other than Hu Xueyan. Just look at the historical red-topped businessman beckoned, a strong man with his hands and feet tied and a rag stuffed in his mouth got out of the car, and then entered a big stone house with Hu Xueyan and closed the iron door with a "bang".

This room is the entrance to a dungeon, and the lights inside are eerily dim, and the walls of the dungeon are equipped with all kinds of torture instruments. Several men in civilian clothes were already waiting there, and the strong man took out the cloth from the mouth of the bound man and threw him on the floor. The man who was tied up was a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body and a pale face, and it was Bai Enming. Bai Enming seemed to have fainted again, and he didn't know whether he was stunned or knocked unconscious. On the way from India, he had fainted several times. When he was awake, he cried bitterly, he was sad, he didn't listen to anyone's advice, he said that he was going to die, and he was going to find a short-term if he wasn't careful. made Hu Xueyan a little baffled, this Bai Enming doesn't seem to have any major crimes, and he is a British citizen, why do he want to die or live? had to let his subordinates tie him up strongly.

"Lord Huang, he is Bai Enming." Hu Xueyan arched his hand at a man sitting on a Taishi chair, and pointed at Bai Enming. "This guy was very dishonest along the way, so he had to tie him up. In addition, Su Shun didn't catch it, only caught Qi Junzao and Guarjia. There are also two Indian Asan. What a great official of the Mughal dynasty. They are now all in prison in Pontianak Province. ”

This Lord Huang is Huang Qiying, the commander of the Jinyi Wei Nanyang Guard. He said to his subordinates, "Wake him up." ”

Immediately, someone poured a bucket of water on Bai Enming's head. Wake him up. Then another fierce-looking man stepped on the wooden bench, slashed his sharp knife at his feet, and cried out in a deep voice: "Say! What is your name? ”

Bai Enming was shocked, his hands and feet were tied with hemp rope and he was numb, and he said weakly: "Bai ...... Enming ......"

"Say your real name!" Huang Qiying snorted.

Bai Enming's body trembled, and he looked at Huang Qiying pitifully, "I am really Bai Enming, I am a citizen of the British Empire." are Her Majesty's subjects......"

Huang Qiying suddenly shouted, "Fart!" Then he stretched out a pair of powerful hands and grabbed Bai Enming's neck, and said, "Bai Siwen, when are you going to pretend?" ”

Bai Enming was like a deflated ball, and he cried loudly, "It's over, it's over...... It's really over now......"

Huang Qiying and Hu Xueyan glanced at each other, with a puzzled expression on their faces, Bai Siwen is just the title of the assistant minister of foreign affairs in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this is not enough to kill the head, right? Besides, this time he also made meritorious contributions and betrayed several big names of the Western Qing Dynasty in India to the imperial court. There is this credit. The emperor has ten ** can forgive his sins, and he is also a British citizen......

"You are guilty!" Huang Qiying snorted again in a calm voice.

"Convicted!" Several hideous-looking men beside him also drank together. In fact, they are all scaring people.

Bai Enming just cried, "What else is there who knows the guilt and doesn't know the guilt...... I can't escape death, I can't escape death! ”

Huang Qiying was a little dumbfounded, and said in her heart: "This surnamed Bai is also the number one person in Nanyang, I didn't expect to be cowardly like this!" Could it be that the current scene is too scary and scares him crazy? ”

"Since you are guilty, you will confess honestly, and this official can say a few kind words for you in front of the emperor." Huang Qiying lied seriously...... As the saying goes: "Confess leniently, sit through the prison; Resist strictness and go home for the New Year. "Now the judicial and secret services of the Ming Dynasty are also the same rules. In Huang Qiying's view, Bai Siwen's crime now is to fine a large sum of silver, and he will never want his life. But it's hard to say what he wants to explain himself......

"Confess? Kind words? Bai Enming shook his head with a wry smile, "If you were Han Si, you might be able to speak for me, but you are not Han Si...... Even if you are really Han Si, you will not speak for me......

"Han Si? Which Han Si ......," Huang Qiying asked Senran.

"Which one else? It's not enough for you to have a Han Dashuai in Daming? How many more Han Si want? ”

What the!? Bai Siwen, the assistant minister of foreign affairs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the marshal of the Ming Dynasty, the king of Guishan County, the commander of the Grassland Army, and the governor of Qihe, Han Si Han Pojun, are the deceased?

"Nonsense, what are you that dare to cling to Han Dashuai?" One of Huang Qiying's subordinates shouted.

Bai Enming laughed miserably: "I am not only an old man with Han Pojun, I am also an old man with your great tomorrow, when your son of heaven was in England, I was a servant of the son of heaven, and I said that who was the first to follow the son of heaven in the whole world, it was none other than me Bai Siwen, but it was a pity that one wrong step, every step was wrong, it was really regrettable, who would have thought that he could really become a great cause......

And what's going on? Huang Qiying and Hu Xueyan looked at each other, and there was this kind of secret? It is no secret that both of them know that Bai Sven has spent time in Europe, and many people know about it. However, no one expected that Bai Siwen would still have such a close relationship with Zhu Jishi. Hu Xueyan leaned into Huang Qiying's ear and said in a low voice: "Lord Huang, this matter is very high, why don't you ask for instructions?" ”

The emperor's old friend, this matter can be big or small......

Huang Qiying nodded and said, "This Bai Siwen will not be tried first, Mr. Hu, please put a fast boat and send this surnamed Bai to Nanjing and hand it over." ”

Hu Xueyan nodded, and admired Huang Qiying's martial arts knowledge a little. Since Bai Siwen and Emperor Zhu have known each other as early as in England, they will come to this point, and there must be some unknown secrets in it...... The secrets related to the emperor are not necessarily a good thing to know more! It's better to send this hot potato as soon as possible. So without delay, the second one transferred a flying scissor sailboat and carried Bai Siwen straight to Nanjing.

When Bai Siwen was sent to Beijing in a cage, the aftermath of the "Calcutta Ensnarment Incident" had just begun.

On the same day that Hu Xueyan and the others left Pontianak Port, the secret report of the Jinyi Wei Nanyang Guard Station on this incident had been sent to Da Mingzi's desk through the radio waves.

Nanjing Forbidden City, in the palace. Zhu Jishi supported the imperial case with his elbow, supported his chin with one hand, and played with the telegram he had just received with the other. Zuo Zongtang, the left prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, Luo Zenan, the new right prime minister, Liu Jiong, the chief of the general staff, Luo Junqi, the minister of the army, and Weng Tongyi, who had just taken over the post of military adviser, all sat on the chairs on both sides, and all looked at Emperor Zhu who was pondering with doubts on their faces, even if Seng Lingqin really wanted to rebel and India really wanted to make trouble, it was just a trivial matter for the Ming Dynasty.

I don't know how long it took before I heard Huangtian say lightly: "Monk Greenqin is finally reversed, and Zhu Qing will discuss how to clean up this anti-thief, right?" ”

Hearing this, the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty present all knew in their hearts that Emperor Zhu planned to ignore the two captured ministers of the Mughal dynasty in India, and only treated this matter as a rebellion of the Tibetan monk Grinqin.

Luo Zenan got up and said: "Your Majesty, you can send troops to Tibet, put pressure on Monk Greenqin, and then send an envoy to Tibet to contact the ** nobles and the major living Buddhas, and the alliance is the internal response, most of this fang will go to India by itself, ** can go down without a fight." ”

**The terrain is ultimately unfavorable for the army to conquer, and it is indeed the best policy to go down without a fight. When he was in Hong Kong that day, Zuo Zongtang also proposed a similar approach.

Zhu Jishi looked at Luo Junqi and Liu Jiong. The two army generals shook their heads unexpectedly, and Luo Junqi frowned and said: "This fang may not go out of India, if the minister is a monk Lingqin, he will definitely avoid Shannan." ”

"South of the Himalayas?" Zhu Jishi smacked his lips, he actually forgot about this piece of land before, and now the Sino-Indian border has not been officially demarcated, and the Shannan region is not under the jurisdiction of the Calcutta authorities, as for whether Lhasa has taken care of it, Emperor Zhu does not know. However, this territory must be controlled by itself, and it will be the undisputed territory of the Ming Dynasty in the future...... (To be continued......)
