After leaving Jiao Sijue, Sun Ning walked around Kuizhou City again, and appreciated the New Year's atmosphere of the local barbarians that was different from that of the Han land, and then returned to his residence.

According to the original intention of the Long family, it was natural to let the emperor live in his own mansion, and then they moved out as respectful. However, Sun Ning politely refused this arrangement, and instead lived in another villa under the name of the Long family, and all the defense in and out was also the responsibility of the soldiers and horses he brought.

Because of this, he was able to haunt Kuizhou at will, talk to those tribal leaders one by one, and use various means to win them over, and judging from the current results, the effect is still quite good, if a few more can lean towards the imperial court, it will almost be able to isolate the Long family.

When he entered the door and got out of the car, Sun Ning was still thinking about which leader to negotiate with next. As a result, at this time, Yang Xuan, who was staying here, rushed over with a solemn expression and reported: "Your Majesty, someone from the Kuizhou Garrison Mansion suddenly came to the door, saying that the soldiers in our Japanese camp had robbed at night and killed people......

This time, Sun Ning braved the wind and snow to come to Kuizhou, and almost did not bring the important civil and military arms around him, but asked them to deal with various aftermath matters in Huayang, or to Banzhou and other places, and appease the newly descended forces, and accompanied Yang Xuan, the commander of the guards.

However, compared to Shen Zhou and other courtiers who are enough to take charge on their own, Yang Xuan is quite inferior in terms of ability, and he is better than the word loyalty. Even if it was a trivial matter at the moment, he didn't dare to make his own decisions, but specially reported it to the emperor.

"Huh?" Sun Ning's brows furrowed quickly, "What's the matter?" Did any of us really go out at night and cause trouble? ”

Yang Xuan looked uneasy, but he still said truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, in fact, everyone is quite peaceful, and a few brothers went out for a walk in their free time." As a result, the five soldiers who left the day before yesterday, saying that they were going to walk around the city, never returned. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Sun Ning's sinking face again, and then made up for it: "At that time, the ministers thought that they had entered the gentle township and got carried away, so they would delay the time. I also felt that everything in Kuizhou was too peaceful now, and nothing could happen, so I didn't do a deep investigation...... As a result, today, news suddenly came from the Kuizhou Garrison Office, saying that there were thieves who robbed at night and injured people.

"Some of those murderers escaped in the dark, and some were arrested red-handed, that is, the brothers in the camp who did not return all night."

Sun Ning completely understood the root cause of this matter this time, his face was cold, and he snorted: "I said that the soldiers of the Japanese camp robbed at night and killed and injured people?" It's a shame that they can put such a charge on my soldiers, do you really think that the people around me are poor and crazy fools? ”

"The minister also replied to him like this, but the general of the garrison said that this time it was a combination of stolen goods, and it was taken down by the tribe over there on the spot, and there could be no mistake! And...... And they killed the patriarch of the Ishihara tribe and his son......"

"What?" Sun Ning finally panicked a little now, and even wanted to blame Yang Xuan for not picking the key points, and only now did he point out that it was the patriarch of the Ishihara clan who was killed.

Ishihara Kui, the head of the Ishihara tribe, is the person he has been in contact with in the past few days, and has promised a lot of benefits to win over the imperial court. Unexpectedly, after only a few days, the person was already dead, and his death was planted on the heads of the soldiers of the Japanese camp!

If there is no Long family in this process, Sun Ning will not believe it.

But before he could make the next reaction, there was already a noise in the courtyard in front of him, and immediately, a team of people and horses rushed straight to this side, until Sun Ning and dozens of guards directly aimed at them with bows and crossbows, and some soldiers quickly raised their swords and guns to surround them, and the team of more than ten people stopped at a distance of dozens of steps from Sun Ning.

But the leader did not mean to stop there, but stood there and shouted: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have something to say!" ”

"Let him come." Sun Ning hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

He had a little impression that this guy was one of the several important members of the Long family who gathered together at the reception banquet before, and now that he thinks about it, he is the guard of this Kuizhou.

The name of the Long family is the barbarians, in fact, many things have long been deeply sinicized, such as clothing, food, housing and transportation on weekdays, lifestyle, and the management of their own base camp Kuizhou, which is also the set of Han government that they learned, and the defense of the city is also led by garrison officers.

Sure enough, this one walked up to him and saluted first: "Kuizhou garrison Long Kuo has seen His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Well, I've already heard about you, why, do you think that I will use such a small person to open his eyes and ignore the law?" Sun Ning asked first.

Long Kuo was not overwhelmed by Sun Ning's momentum at all, and only replied without humility or arrogance: "Don't dare, the minister just came to inquire based on the facts." However, as far as the few thieves and murderers who were taken down confessed, the other accomplices were indeed the guards around His Majesty, and some people saw their appearance with their own eyes. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to one of the few who were blocked and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can let this Ishihara Kui's second son, Ishihara, identify one or two." ”

Long Kuo followed the law one by one, which really made Sun Ning difficult to deal with.

Although he is the emperor, he can't be arbitrary after all, after all, he hasn't completely surrendered here, and if he is not careful, he will fall into the hands of others, and the situation will only become more and more passive.

At the same time, Sun Ning's mind turned, and he also understood the tricks that the other party might use later.

As long as he forcibly denies it, and rebukes these people away, and turns his head, people will use this as an excuse to publicize the killing of Ishihara Kui by the imperial court in the city and among those tribal leaders, and then it will be a departure from morality, and even attract hatred from all sides.

It's really a ruthless trick, and he doesn't give himself the opportunity and time to explain at all.

As his mind turned, Sun Ning could only sigh and speak: "If this is the case, I will naturally not protect my subordinates. However, I have something to say ahead, I absolutely believe that my subordinates will not do such illegal things, and if it is finally found out that this is a frame-up, I will definitely investigate to the end! ”

Long Kuo was taken by Sun Ning's gaze, and he was obviously a little timid.

But soon, he recovered and bowed his head and replied, "Of course." Danchen believes that there can be no fault in this matter. ”

At this point, there was no room for manoeuvre, Sun Ning could only let that Shi Yuanli come over again, and this barbarian young man was also very simple, after a good glance among the surrounding guards, his finger was decisively pointed at several of them: "He, he, and him, I remember very well, it was they who broke into my house at night and killed my father and eldest brother......"
