Zhang Yunhua and Su Mengtang glanced at each other, and both of them were puzzled. Zhao Qingzhou stopped selling Guanzi and said bluntly: "The Mongols showed sincerity, sent Wenchen Tang Qing, and brought more than 30 attendants to see Wanyan Shouli. As a result, within a few days, these more than 30 people were all slaughtered by the Jin people to find a reason. Su Mengtang was shocked when he heard this: "Since ancient times, the two countries have not killed envoys at war, how can they kill the envoys when they negotiate peace?" ”

Zhao Qingzhou shook his head and said: "The official family didn't say it, I thought about it myself, probably Tang Qing said something wrong, and he was regarded as a spy by the gold owner." Zhang Yunhua said with a serious expression: "Confused, Jin Guoqiang will be defeated, and the ministers will not be used, why not persuade such a ridiculous thing?" Although this happened for a while, how could Mongolia be willing to give up. Come to think of it, even if we don't send troops, the national fortunes of the Jin country will be difficult to last for a few years. ”

Hearing that Zhang Yunhua had a little sympathy for Jin Guo in his words, Zhao Qingzhou thought silently in his heart: I have more time in the coming days, and I must talk to Yunhua Che and listen to his opinions. At present, because he has to go to the court later, he can't tell how ugly he is for a while, so he only said: "The meaning of the official family is to take advantage of the uncertain separation of Mongolia and Jin in recent years, and seize the strength of the army and horses, and recuperate the national fortune for future needs." ”

After saying this, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and everyone was thinking about what the future would be like if there was a war.

At this time, Qin Guoxi came to the door of Dali Temple full of complaints, and he remembered that he was standing here in the middle of the night, and the guards guarding the door closed the door again. Now if I knock on the door again on the fourth watch, I will definitely not get a good face. "You go-" He pointed to one of his lieutenants: "Knock on the door, just say that Prime Minister Shi Cheng sent his official to discuss something with Siqing." ”

The captain also knew that the people in Dali Temple were temperamental, so he dragged off the horse and walked up the steps with his body bent. "Grinding and grinding, how to make a difference to the prime minister when the time is missed." Qin Guoxi shouted angrily, and the captain hurriedly walked two steps, came to the door and bluffed and knocked on the door: "Open the door quickly, open the door quickly, our general has something important to discuss with Siqing." ”

The door soon opened from the inside, and an elderly official came out and said, "It's not dawn yet, let's talk about it tomorrow morning." As he spoke, he closed the door. The lieutenant hurriedly put one arm into the door, and half of his body also leaned in, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother, they are all errands, accommodating, please report the trouble." This is Prime Minister Shi's important matter. ”

The official looked him up and down, opened the door two feet, and said: "It's General Qin outside, our master has only been resting for a while, if we go in again to report this time, we have to follow the melon and fall, you see-" Qin Guoxi originally scolded him back, but suddenly thought that if he annoyed the officer, it would be even more difficult to get in, so he turned over from his horse and stepped forward and said: "If it weren't for the urgency, I would never dare to disturb in the middle of the night." If Siqing embarrasses you because of this, I will argue for you, what do you think? ”

The official was also thin-skinned, and when he heard Qin Guoxi say this, he sighed, opened the door wide, and said, "Then General Qin is here for a while, and I will go in and tell you." Before the words fell, I heard the sound of carriages and horses coming from the west side of the alley outside the gate of Dali Temple. Everyone looked to the west, and saw a horse and a cart coming from the west. It is coming to Dali Temple.

"What for?" The soldiers behind Qin Xingguo stepped forward and asked.

The man on the horse was seven feet tall, dressed in a rough brown short coat, and carrying a long knife behind his back, and replied loudly: "The person sitting in the car is Jiangning Wangxian Cheng, and there is a criminal who must be handed over to Dali Temple for detention first." When Qin Guoxi heard the word "Jiangning", he was very vigilant and hurriedly asked: "I am Qin Guoxi, the general of Huaihua, who is Wang Xiancheng in the car, can I move to see each other?" ”

On the carriage, Wang Hui heard Qin Guoxi's words and looked at Shao Shoutie. Shao Shou Railway: "Brother Wang can go down and deal with him, I know this person, it is inconvenient to get off the car to meet, and I am guarding the long sail on the car." As he spoke, he pulled up the wide hood at the end of the brown cloak on his body, covered half of his face, and put the fan hanging from his hand into his sleeve.

Qin Guoxi saw that there was no movement on the carriage and was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly heard a squeak, and the door of the carriage opened. Li Zhuoran hurriedly dismounted and picked up Wang Hui and got off the carriage. Qin Guoxi looked up and down, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Jiang Ning is really an outstanding person, Lord Wang and Lord Zhao are both such talents. I don't know if Jiang Ning still lacks a military position, so let General Ben also go to recuperate for a few years, and come out to become a handsome man. ”

Wang Hui listened to what Qin Guoxi said not like a good thing, so he smiled lightly and said: "Where is Jiangning comparable to Lin'an, the general is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, by the side of the prime minister, and he has a mighty and brave spirit, but it is dwarfed by teaching us those who come from poor and remote places." Taking advantage of the time they were talking, the official who had just opened the door hurriedly turned around and ordered the young official beside him: "Go and call the master, just say that General Qin and Lord Jiangning are here." To enter the Dali Temple. ”

The little servant hurriedly ran to Zheng Degang's inner room behind. Zheng Degang hadn't fallen asleep yet, he was lying on the bed looking at the detailed rules of Song Fa's sentencing, and after listening to the words of the little officer, he closed the scroll, frowned and said: "General Qin's second visit to Dali Temple must have come to cover up the things in front of him, and it doesn't matter, so let's ask General Qin to go and sit in front for a while." Lord Wang came from Jiangning late at night, I am afraid that he is here to help Lord Zhao, so let Lord Wang Hui come to me. ”

When the little official heard the sound, he was about to run out, but was stopped by Zheng Degang: "Eh, remember, don't make a mistake in the order." The little official nodded and said, "Remember, first invite General Qin to the lobby, and then invite Lord Wang to come here." After speaking, seeing that Zheng Degang no longer had any orders, he plunged into the moonlight that was about to disappear outside the door. Zheng Degang put the detailed rules in his hand on the pillow, walked down in his cloak, stared at the moonlight outside, and sighed.

After a short time, the six officials jointly led Wang Hui and the other four people and walked quietly from the front. Zheng Degang came out of the house and saw that behind Wang Hui, there were two people holding a person who was tied up by five flowers. When Wang Hui saw Zheng Degang, he was busy bowing down, but Zheng Degang stepped forward and pulled him up and said: "Lord Wang doesn't need to be polite, I don't know if I came from Jiangning overnight, but what clues did I find about Lord Zhao's case?" ”

When Wang Hui saw that Zheng Degang said this, he was not confined to red tape, and said directly: "Lord Zheng, the human and material evidence, the lower officials have brought it." This child—" He turned back and pointed at Changfan: "He is Lord Zhao's personal slave, he was coerced and committed a mistake, I brought him here, and according to the decree of the Great Song Dynasty, I will temporarily lock people up here with Lord Zheng first." ”

Zheng Degang's gaze crossed Wang Hui and stared at Changfan's body: the house slave in front of him, his head hung deeply, and because of fear, he couldn't stop trembling and sobbing, and the people on the left and right were not so much holding him as holding him, so that this thin young man would not be physically exhausted due to weak legs. This is like a vicious murderer, but like a lamb who was pulled by Wang Hui to scapego.
