In the cloudy night sky, thunderbolts flashed, illuminating everyone's faces, some people were calm, some people were indignant, and some people pretended to be high, but in fact their hearts were chaotic!

Shuozhou Sima Jiang stood on top of the war horse, looking down at Di Renjie, at this moment there was a faint trace of uneasiness in his heart, in the face of heavy surrounding, this Di Renjie could be so indifferent, which made him a little flustered!

Jiang Chong stabilized his mind, and pretended to be contemptuous and said: "Di Renjie, they all say that you are a terrible person, it was just hearsay before, but when I see it today, if this is the case, you are indeed terrible, but today you must die!" If you don't die, then we're the unlucky! ”

"Oh? What does Jiang Sima mean by this? His Majesty sent this pavilion to Shuozhou to investigate the disappearance of Liu Maoyuan, the general of the Right Jin Wuwei, how did it involve your life and death? Di Renjie stroked his beard and said with a smile!

"Humph! Di Renjie, you don't come to this set, who in this court doesn't know the prestige of your detective, I believe that the secrets in Daqing Mountain have long been discovered by you, right? Jiang Chong said with disdain!

"The secret of Daqingshan? Jiang Sima, then tell me what secrets are in this great green mountain? You let the Pavilion die and die, right? Di Renjie asked!

"Good! You're dying anyway, so it's okay for me to tell you! That's right, we have been smelting cast iron in this Daqing Mountain for half a year, and in order to be able to smelt a large amount of cast iron in the shortest possible time, we have deceived the young and strong laborers and blacksmiths in the vicinity to Daqing Mountain! Jiang Chong said without hesitation!

"The law of the imperial court stipulates that private smelting must pay 20% of the iron tax, are you just trying to avoid this 20% tax? I'm afraid that doesn't make sense, right? Di Renjie asked!

"Hahaha! Twenty percent tax? Although this is a lot of silver in terms of our output, it is nothing compared to our income! The reason why we do this is, firstly, that all the young and strong laborers are free labor, and secondly, that the imperial court will strictly control the flow of cast iron, and we are not subject to this restriction! Jiang Chong smiled smugly!

Di Renjie slowly raised his head, his eyes burned with angry flames, staring at Jiang Chong's arrogant and complacent face, and said word by word: "You guys are really like snakes and scorpions!" ”

Jiang Chong said coldly: "Heart like a snake and scorpion? Hahaha! Di Renjie, I'll just treat you as if you're praising me! ”

Di Renjie glanced at Jiang Chong, and asked with a sinking face, "All your cast iron should have been sold to the Turks, right?" ”

"How do you know?" Jiang Chong seemed to be a little surprised, and couldn't help but get nervous!

"How does this cabinet know? Hahaha! Through the analysis of your actions, it is not difficult to come to this conclusion: first, you have smelted such a large amount of cast iron in a short period of time, if you are an ordinary trader, you will definitely not be able to eat it, then you can raise a large amount of silver taels in such a short period of time, and purchase such a huge amount of cast iron, it can only be the Turks adjacent to my Great Zhou! Second, as you just said, you smelt cast iron privately to prevent the court from restricting the flow of cast iron, so that you must have sold these cast iron to people who are not allowed by the court! Third, in Shuozhou City, all the blacksmith shops and blacksmith shops are also your ghosts, right? Of course, there is only one purpose, and that is to control the price of cast iron! Isn't that right? Di Renjie sneered!

"You are such a terrible person, no wonder so many people have fallen at your hands!" Jiang Chong said with some horror!

"Huh! I often think that this pavilion is terrible are some traitors and villains who are traitors! Di Renjie sneered, and then asked: "But this pavilion has a question and wants to ask Jiang Sima for advice, you are already an official in the state capital, and you are in a high position, why do you want to take such a risk to make this deal?" ”

"Now, I might as well tell you that the cause of this incident has to start with the two million taels of consolation money from the imperial court!" Jiang Chong said!

"Oh? Is it the two million taels of consolation money that His Majesty appointed at the beginning of the year to appease the people on the border? Di Renjie's face tightened!

"That's right! The two million taels of consolation money have just been put into the warehouse, and in less than two days, they have all disappeared, and the Assassin Mansion has investigated and dealt with it for more than a month, without any clues, seeing that the war is about to end, Assassin Shi Feng Zhijing is worried that the matter will be revealed, so he wants to make up for the two million taels in a short time, so he thought of a way to privately smelt cast iron and raise silver taels! Jiang Chong said!

After hearing this, Di Renjie couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid Jiang Sima didn't tell the truth, right?" Judging from the time when you closed the mountain and the scale of your smelting, you should have earned back these two million taels a long time ago, why are they still going on today? ”

"Hahaha! Di Renjie, Di Renjie, you are still a one-time Zaifu, in this world, is there anyone who thinks how hot money is? You're right, it was enough two months ago, but we can't just look at those vain dollars without making money, right? Okay, Di Renjie, I've told you enough, and I'm worthy of you! Prepare to die! Jiang Chong laughed and said!

"Which one dare me to move? Try any of the ones who don't want to die! Li Yuanfang shook the light steel knife in his hand, and a cold light flashed suddenly, and the sergeants were still very afraid of the knife in Li Yuanfang's hand, and hesitated for a while!

"Archer!" Jiang Chong, who was standing on the horse, shouted!

On the tall building behind Jiang Chong, rows of archers swarmed up, and one hundred and ten wolf's tooth arrows were aimed at Di Renjie and the others!

"How? Di Renjie, do you think you can still escape today? Hahaha! Jiang Chong let out a wicked laugh!

"Soldiers! This pavilion is the emperor's order of the generalissimo of the Hedong Road march and the pacification envoy of the two provinces of Hedong and Hebei, this pavilion knows that you are deceived by the officials, before you have made such an unrighteous act, you are all my soldiers of the Great Zhou, the world by the emperor's grace, how can you be used by these small people, and you will never recover? If you put down your arms immediately, this cabinet will not pursue it, but if you insist on going your own way, you will be punished as a conspiracy! Di Renjie shouted!

"Shut up! Brothers, don't listen to his deceptions, for if we lay down our arms, he will surely put us all to death! Kill me! Jiang Chong pulled out the steel knife, swung it forward, and shouted hoarsely!

The sergeants hesitated a little and did not follow Jiang Chong's orders, Jiang Chong looked left and right, and shouted loudly: "You still don't do it?" took Di Renjie's head and rewarded 100 taels of gold! Archers, release the arrows! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion among the sergeants, but they still hesitated, and the archers did not release their arrows!

Li Yuanfang saw that Di Renjie's shouting had an effect, and hurriedly continued to shout: "Brothers! I am Li Yuanfang, the general of the inspection Qianniuwei, the most important word of loyalty and righteousness for our soldiers, and the love of comrades on the battlefield is better than that of brothers! Master Di is the old man of the court, and he is the emperor's order, he is a man of his word, as long as everyone lays down their weapons and abandons the darkness and turns to the light, naturally the adults will not be investigated! ”

"Brothers, don't listen to him, rush up and kill them!" The officer who was held hostage by Li Yuanfang shouted loudly!

"I think you're obsessed! Hopeless! Then you go to die! As he spoke, Li Yuanfang raised his knife and fell, and the officer's head fell to the ground, and his body fell to the side!
