"Once Dachen and Tuxilu fail to exchange markets, Tulun will inevitably take the opportunity to make every effort to win over Tuxilu to form an alliance, Dachen is attacked on both sides, at this time the emperor has very few troops in his hands, even if there is no foreign aid, if someone colludes with neighboring countries to make trouble, Kyoto is also very dangerous. Not to mention that yesterday's expedited feathers of the Tanglin Guard spread around the streets, and everyone was begging the imperial court to send troops to the Tanglin Guard......"

Yiqiu deduced the crisis that might arise with the failure of the mutual market, and couldn't help but gasp, the other party was in a hurry to take advantage of this time to make trouble, most of them had another reason: at this time, the people of the mission were in the hands of the Tuxilu people, if the border between the two countries was at odds, they were very likely to take the Dachen mission as a hostage and make some excessive demands to the emperor.

Fei Minghe saw that there were two blue and black clouds under her eyelids, and her cheeks were also thin, knowing that she was extremely tired from running back and forth in the past few days, she felt very unbearable, and comforted her:

"Qiu'er doesn't need to worry, the failure of the mutual market is not a foregone conclusion at the moment, Brother Ye also said in the letter, while looking for a breakthrough from King Tiele, and using a plan to temporarily protect Ah Lan's life, as long as he says that King Tiele is moved, things will take a turn for the better.

It is also for this reason that the old man ordered Feng to quickly send Ah Lan's daughter to Tu Xilu, this move on the one hand to show favor to Ah Lan, and on the other hand, he can also use his daughter as a bargaining chip to blackmail Ah Lan, as a witness who can bring down La Mulun, as long as he tries his best to maneuver, it will also help the mission somewhat. The people in the Tuxilu court have been afraid of war for a long time, and the mutual market is very beneficial to them, and they will not easily refuse. As for the situation in Beijing, you can also guess that most of the feathers from the Tanglin Guard have problems. ”

"Could it be that the Tanglin Wei of Donghai Gong is also a party of Feng Sidao?" Yiqiu blurted out.

If Donghai Gong is also an accomplice with Feng Sidao...... Fei Minghe's expression was grim, "If Hai Hongmeng really betrayed Taizu's entrustment back then, he rebelled against the imperial court...... We have no choice but to fight to the death. ”

Yiqiu calmed down when he heard this, his face was full of bravery, and he straightened his back and said:

"Yes, there is a forbidden army in Beijing and Uncle Xiaoyi's guard battalion can resist for a while, and the 100,000 troops on the southwest road under my father's command are all good sons and daughters who have experienced a hundred battles, and Ren is in a desperate situation, nothing more than soldiers to block, water to cover the earth, not to mention ......"

Fei Minghe chuckled and took her words, "What's more, things are far from being like this." If there is anyone in the court today who is willing to be loyal to the new emperor, Hai Hongmeng can be regarded as the first one. He is a student of Wenge Lao, and he values loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and righteousness more than life, and he will never be able to do such a thing as killing the monarch and treason. ”

Fei Minghe remembered in a trance that the daily military affairs of Tanglin Wei seemed to be managed by Hai Hongmeng's son, and he was faintly uneasy, but he did not show it in front of Yiqiu.

Yiqiu gritted his teeth and said:

"If he really dares to do such a rebellious thing, I will take out the tablet of his ancestor Haisheng in the Taimiao Temple and burn it."

When Emperor Taizu passed away, the old man of Donghai Gonghaisheng vomited blood and fainted several times under sadness, and died in a hurry a few days later.

Fei Minghe couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard Yiqiu say this, Yiqiu was bold and ruthless when he encountered trouble, which was very similar to his father Lin Shifan.

As a strategist, he thinks this is an extremely rare quality. Talking about the bottom line of benevolence and righteousness with bad guys is the stupidest thing.

A servant of the Wei Mansion knocked softly on the door outside, Fei Minghe answered, and the man did not come in, but whispered outside the door:

"The villain has already inquired about what Mr. just explained, and that person lives in Sweetwater Lane."

Fei Minghe's expression was slightly pale when he heard this, and he turned to ask Yiqiudao.

"The gambling method we set yesterday has not yet been baited?"

"Yes", Yiqiu replied dejectedly, "According to the report last night, the matter of 100,000 bets has spread all over the Goolan tile shop where courtiers in Beijing often hang out, and many people have asked if they can reduce the gambling money, but no one has gambled so far." ”

Fei Minghe said:

"That's it, just wait, I came to some conclusions here last night, Qiu'er, come and see."

Fei Minghe took Yiqiu to the bookcase in the compartment, pointed to a list and said:

"This is the list you copied out last night, Qiu'er, and it is full of people who asked to send reinforcements to the Tanglin Guard, or to ask for war. The old man had nothing to do last night, so he searched through the files of these people, and there was one thing that was very interesting—"

Yiqiu followed the direction of Fei Minghe's finger and saw several columns of names scribbled on a huge piece of rice paper.

"There are a total of forty-two people on the list you copied, including sixteen low-level military officers promoted by the military department after the new emperor succeeded to the throne this year; Among the civil servants, there were 19 people who were selected for the examination in the same year, and the rest also had cousins and in-laws who worked with the same department. ”

Yiqiu exclaimed from the bottom of his heart:

"Sir is a man of God!"

Such an unrelated long list, he found such a big flaw.

Fei Minghe smiled bitterly and shook his head and did not answer, but continued:

"The person you sent to Huda Mansion to monitor the news reported on the fourth day of the new year that he had been to Yanshui Hutong and stayed for an hour and a half before leaving."

Fei Minghe picked up the pen and licked the ink, and circled the location of the saltwater alley on a map hanging next to the bookcase, Yiqiu followed his guidance and looked carefully, the saltwater alley turned east at the end, connected to the sweet water lane, and Fei Minghe marked an ink spot in the sweet water lane.

"One of the nineteen civilian officials in the list, named Li Sansi, lives here."

Yiqiu suddenly remembered that the emperor was angry in Feng Pavilion last night, and threw the song signed Li Sansi on the ground, because she was very impressed by this name.

"Heh......"

Fei Minghe sneered and said:

"Although this Li Sansi has a low official rank, he is not a nameless junior, who is his mother? His mother's surname is Hu, and she is the aunt of Huda Hu's squire, the daughter of King Yanling and the grandmother of the lord of Anren. ”

At this time, Yiqiu gasped, "Sir......"

Fei Minghe waved his hand and pulled out a hand-drawn map from the bookcase, which was roughly marked with streets such as Sweet Water Lane and the nearby Jiaolan Lane, and the names of several teahouses and wineries were also sporadically marked.

Yiqiu remembered that the vicinity of Jiaolan Lane was the most prosperous shopping block in Kyoto, and she looked at the dense ink dots marked in the picture, and looked at Fei Minghe for some reason.

"In the past few days, the people you have sent to investigate rumors in various parts of Beijing have been reporting every day that such rumors have been mentioned on days and places. The old man just guessed that this matter might be related to Li Sansi, so he deliberately looked back at the daily line report, and he could indeed see that the rumors were the first to spread in the wine shop and teahouse around Sweet Water Lane. ”

Yiqiu slapped his palms and smiled:

"Sir, isn't this a public case that has solved the source of the rumors?"

She was pleasantly surprised and was about to bring someone to the door to lock them up, and then she suddenly realized something.

Fei Minghe sighed and said:

"These are all speculations, and there is no empirical evidence - even if Hu Da himself took 100,000 taels of silver to gamble at this time, we have no evidence to arrest him for arraignment."

"When it's very bad, I can't take care of so much, and if I want to take these few people, there are also scoundrel ways."

Yiqiu pursed her lips and said.
