Rao is Chesang City Mansion is deep, seeing that Sajia made a great gift to himself, his heart was still a burst of ecstasy, he forced himself to suppress the joy in his chest, and after the other party knelt down once, he helped Sajia up, and said with a smile: "Chesang can have today, how can he be without the support of Senior Brother Sajia?" After that, the things in the temple, please mention it more! “

Two days later, the cavalry in charge of chasing Naker returned, and they brought back the head of Nakerr, and it is said that the murderer saw that there was no hope of escape, so he drew a knife and committed suicide, and the easily decomposed body could not be carried, so he could only bring back the head. The monks in the temple were also complaining about Na Ke'er's death, but when the temple was busy with the new living Buddha's enthronement ceremony and celebrating that the living Buddha of Qisang had been awarded the title of "Hutu Ketu" by the Great Tomorrow Son, it was too inappropriate to hold on to the life and death of a murder suspect. So Na Keer and Noyan were buried in the name of dying of a sudden illness and disappeared into this noise.

These days have been very difficult for Gui. He was imprisoned in a dungeon used to hold the monks of the monastery, and as elsewhere in the world, religious regimes knew how to torment their enemies better than secular regimes. The dungeon had only a bowl-sized vent, devoid of any light, sound, or even smell. If it weren't for the two meals a day brought by the guards - moldy tsamba and gruel, he couldn't even tell how long he had been here, time had frozen here, a minute, an hour, a day, a year. In order to avoid becoming insane, he began to look for everything that would help him pass the time, a little sound, a mark on the wall, memories of his wife, children and dog. He begins to become sensitive, irritable, frustrated, and finally hopeless.

When Gui was awakened by the sound of chains, he initially thought it was just another food delivery, but he soon realized that something was wrong, as the creaking of the cell door was immediately heard. He got up from the ground, and his heart was full of fear of the outside—perhaps my death was near, and the executioner was sharpening his machete on the whetstone. Ah Gui can't forget the last time he saw a Ming spy next to the gate of Shengjing City, his head was cut off, inserted into the tip of the gun, the head was coated with black oil for embalming, and the crow hovered on it, looking particularly infiltrating. Gui told himself that this was the fate that awaited him, and that the best case scenario was to cut off his head directly, instead of torture and then beheading, and his only wish was to let the dog live.

Finally, the heavy cell door was pushed open, and Gui instinctively turned her head away to avoid the glare light. Instead of the executioner he imagined to have executed him, he entered the door with two familiar faces, Chessan and Ozil.

"The Living Buddha wants to ask this guy a few words, give me the key, you go outside, don't let anyone in!" Ozil said to the guard in a commanding tone.

"Yes!" The guard respectfully untied the key from his waist, handed it to Ozir, and withdrew. At this time, Ah Gui had finally adapted to the light, he wiped away his tears with great effort, recognized the person, and asked suspiciously: "Living Buddha?" ”

"Not bad!" Ozir replied arrogantly: "Chesang has been canonized by the Great Tomorrow, as the king of the Great Hu Tuketu, presiding over the affairs of the Monan Mongolian Gelug sect, and a few days ago the enthronement ceremony was held!" ”

Ah Gui looked at Chesang, and then at the arrogant Ozir, with a bitter smile on his face: "I see, you are here to kill me, okay, just ask you to give me a good time, and the dog that released me, it can't speak, and it is no threat to you!" ”

"Kill you?" Ozil and Chesan glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "If you want to kill you, you just need to let the guards not bring you food for a few days, why bother with the Living Buddha to go in person, you can rest assured, as long as you do what the adults order, you can save your life." ”

"Do what your lord tells you to do?" Ah Gui smiled: "Then what if I don't?" ”

"Then I'll keep you here, and have two meals brought in every day, and I won't let you starve!" This time it was Chessan who answered, his voice was not loud, and he did not carry any emotion, as if family members usually ask each other, "Are you hungry?" Are you dressed?" in general, but when he heard it in Ah Gui's ears, he only felt extremely terrifying, and he subconsciously shuddered. To tell the truth, since he joined the army, he has experienced life and death, and some things have long been light-hearted, but being locked in a black cell like this, with no light or sound, is like a big living person nailed to a coffin, it is better to come up with a knife in the neck.

"You, you're so vicious!"

"Am I vicious?" Chesang laughed: "You should also know how the Jurchens treat the spies who are caught, I don't kill you, I don't torture you, I just lock you up, two meals a day, if this is called vicious, then what is a good person in the world?" ”

"You ——, be locked up in this place where you don't see the light of day, it's so much more vicious than death!"

"Really?" Chesang smiled: "If you feel that living here is worse than dying, you can kill yourself, don't worry, the guards will never stop you!" ”

Ah Gui lowered his head and did not make a sound. After a while, Chessan's voice came from inside the house: "It is human nature to be greedy for life and evil to die, Ah Gui, I know that you have a wife and a child on the Jurchen side, and I am afraid that speaking out will implicate them." But there is no fourth person here except you, me and him, God knows you know I know, what are you worried about? Don't worry, as long as you answer my question, I will let you go back and never break my word! “

"Will you let me go back?" Gui's eyes lit up with surprise and suspicion.

"Yes, why not? Your return to the Jurchens will only be good for me, and there will be no harm. ”

Ah Gui didn't say anything, the meaning of the other party's words was very clear: after he returned to the Jurchens, he could also pass information to him, which was naturally much more useful than staying here, he thought about it and asked, "Then you're not afraid that I will tell the Jurchens everything I see here?" ”

"I'll give you a list, and you can tell the Jurchens as it says. You can rest assured that what is written above is the truth and will never cause you trouble! Chesan patted Gui on the shoulder: "In my eyes, you are much more valuable than that bit of information!" ”

"You, why did you do that?"

"It's very simple, the Jurchens must be more than you who sent the fine work, even if I have great ability, I can't arrest them all, there are some things that Huang Taiji can always know if he wants to, it's nothing more than how much it costs. Wouldn't it be more advantageous to let him know from the channel I hoped? ”

It took a while for Gui to figure out what Chesang meant, as Chesang said, since there are some things that cannot be hidden from the enemy, then simply let the other party obtain information from a known channel, so that they can take precautions early and minimize losses; Second, Ah Gui's status in the Jurchen intelligence system will also rise, and the Jurchens will pay more and more attention to this line, and at a critical time, sending a false information through this channel can play a fatal role. When he figured it out, Ah Gui couldn't help but shudder, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

"Ozil!" Chesan took a piece of parchment from Ozir's hand and handed it to Gui: "You see if the content on it is enough, if there are any Jurchens who are interested, you can ask me, as long as I think I can answer, I will tell you the truth." “

Ah Gui took the parchment, only to see that dozens of questions were densely written in Mongolian on it, and the answers below were very detailed, and he looked at it There were a lot more than the previous bosses who had to investigate by themselves, and it was obvious that this Chesang Living Buddha knew very well about the questions that the Jurchens were interested in. He sighed, knowing that with his own ability, he would never be able to jump out of the palm of the other party's hand, so he carefully put away the parchment and said with a wry smile: "It's enough, Lord Living Buddha, do you have anything to ask me?" ”

"Good!" Seeing that Ozil had accepted his proposal, Chesan smiled and said, "Then let's change places, although this place is secluded, the environment is really bad." By the way, I have a little piece of advice at the end! ”

"Suggestions?"

"Yes, I suggest you memorize the contents of that parchment and burn the original, so as not to reveal the flaws!"

"Yes, Living Buddha!"

Hangzhou, West Lake.

Twilight spring has passed, early summer is approaching, the warm breeze mixed with the aroma of peach and apricot blows, and the pedestrians are drunk even if they have not drunk. No matter what kind of difficulties the northern part of the empire is in at this time, the people here are still enjoying a peaceful, civilized and prosperous life. The restaurants and teahouses along the West Lake have long been full, and some of the most famous shops have long been occupied by wealthy businessmen so as not to be disturbed by ordinary people, but those who know how to enjoy the most know that the most private, comfortable and upscale places here are not the shops along the lake, but a few large pleasure boats on the lake.

"Yongjin'er" is one of the leaders, this catamaran boat slowly sways on the water outside Yongjinmen. There were only seven or eight guests on the huge ship, but there were fifteen or sixteen people who accompanied the horses and female concubines.

"Mr. Cheng Er, you said that there are distinguished guests coming today, and this ship is offshore, how can you not see the distinguished guests, and this shelf is also bigger!" A middle-aged man with a big belly pushed away the woman next to him and complained.

"Yes, let's wait for nothing, let you wait for Mr. Cheng Er, could it be the governor or not?" The other person also spoke, and everyone immediately let out a dissatisfied pandering sound. Looking at their descriptions and dresses, all of them are rich businessmen and giants with a lot of money, and a few of them should still be gentlemen, and they can be regarded as stomping and shaking three times in Hangzhou, no wonder they are so annoyed.

"Peace of mind, peace of mind!" The man known as Mr. Cheng Er smiled and pushed away a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman who was tired of being in his arms, only to see that he was burly, with a thick beard under his chin and chest, two thick eyebrows almost connected together in the center of his eyebrows, a pair of eyes slightly brown, a straight nose and a big mouth, he didn't look like a businessman, but like a martial artist: "I Xiuning Cheng Er has three good things in my life: good food, good beauty, good hero, this one who came today is a big hero, a big hero, don't say let me wait for him for a while, that is, I am willing to wait for him for three days and five days." The rank is for the sake of my Cheng Er's face, and relax for a while, if you don't want to wait, it's okay, I'll let you go ashore! ”

When Mr. Cheng Er's words came out, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and the big-bellied man who spoke first responded: "Since it is Mr. Cheng Er, what if you like it, what's the matter, it's just that when someone comes, you have to pay three glasses of wine and make amends to the people on the boat!" ”

"Yes, three glasses of wine!"

"One pot is enough, three cups is too little!"

"That's easy to say!" Mr. Cheng Er smiled: "Not only him, but I also want to make amends to you together!" Speaking of this, he slapped his palms twice and said loudly: "Why don't you hurry up and serve the food, let me Xiuning Chenger and all my friends have a few drinks!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the downstairs was served with wine and food, and it turned out that there were two floors of the pleasure boat, the upper floor was the place where the guests drank and had fun, and the lower floor was the place where the boatmen and servants served. This Cheng Er claimed to be three good in his life, and it was not a lie, only to see that the wine and food sent were not only exquisite, but also delicious, all-encompassing, just this table of banquets, the cost was no less than 100 taels of silver, which was already the cost of ten Chinese families for a year.

Everyone on the boat had a few glasses of wine, and suddenly heard someone shouting on the lake: "This is Mr. Xiuning Chenger's boat?" ”

"Not bad!" Mr. Cheng Er was overjoyed when he heard this, and got up and responded loudly: "But Mr. Zhao, come here, Cheng Er has been waiting for a long time!" “

After a while, everyone felt a vibration of the hull under them, and they all knew that it was the small boat that came up, Mr. Cheng Er hurriedly got up and went downstairs to greet him, and everyone who stayed on the boat couldn't help but exchange glances, full of curiosity about the upcoming guest.

With a burst of heavy footsteps, everyone saw Cheng Er leading a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman to walk up, followed by two tall men, one with a rough face and rough hands and feet, like a martial artist, and the other was dressed in black and wore a hat on his head, and only half of his face could be seen. Everyone raised their appetite for a long time, and when they saw such a person, they couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed in their hearts.

"This is Mr. Zhao, please take a seat!" Mr. Cheng Er opened a seat and invited someone to sit down, but the person took a step back and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng Er, the two behind me are not entourage, they are here with me!" ”

Mr. Cheng Er was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "I see, I am clumsy, forgive me, come here, move two more chairs, and show these two gentlemen!" (To be continued.) )
