Just when Zhu Zhan was sharpening his knife and preparing to make a move against Manraka, Zhou Xin on the grassland also made new progress in the attack on the officials of the Ming Household Department.

"So, you've found out that there's an unusual movement of people in the city of Kulan, but it doesn't belong to your Warat, right?"

Zhou Xin looked at the dehuan in front of him and asked thoughtfully.

Zhou Xin is an envoy, known as a cold face and cold iron among the people, and his experience can be said to be quite rich.

In his previous experience, this statement was usually dismissed as nonsense, because it was generally the standard argument for scapegoating the wicked.

But this time it was different, Warat provided a person's name and his recent movements, which made Zhou Xin hesitate.

The person's first name is not very important, what matters is his surname and identity.

Tariba, whose full name is Tariba, is the bloodline of the Golden Family, and is also the son of Benjamin.

At the beginning, the Ming army defeated the Tatar army during the northern expedition, and Benjamin was so embarrassed that he escaped with only seven horsemen, and was finally met by Zhu Zhanyan, who was walking his dog, on the bank of the Trouble River.

At that time, the people who escorted Benjamri out in the chaos were all Tatar soldiers, but Benjamin's son Tariba was not seen.

The Ming army also pursued it, but the conclusion was that Benjamin did not bring Tariba with him on this personal expedition, and the evidence was that there were not too many old and weak women and children and other family members on the Tatar army's side, only the Arutai tribe.

But that was because the base of the Arutai Department was around the Yuqu River where the two armies initially clashed, and bringing their families with them was really a helpless move of the Arutai Department, and it was also one of the reasons why Arutai and Benjamin finally parted ways.

In the end, as for the whereabouts of Taliba, from Zhu Di to ordinary soldiers, they all thought that Benjamin had left him in the land of Longxing of the Golden Family when he went on the expedition, and it was difficult to deal with the river.

Later, the Ming army also went to look for it, but did not find it, thinking that the other party had learned the news of the defeat of their Tatar army at the defeat of the Ming army, and fled in advance.

Now, when it comes to Tariba, Zhou Xin really doesn't dare to make a conclusion.

In fact, Zhou Xin had actually planned it before, no matter what kind of statement the Wara side gave, he was ready to learn from Zhu Zhan to mess around.

He didn't intend to cause a war between Daming and Warat, but just wanted Warat to bleed a lot and pay a great price in the mutual market or other aspects.

If Warat gives other explanations, or pushes others out as scapegoats, Zhou Xin is ready to ignore them, but ......

Ariba, not really.

For the grassland, the Jin clan is a golden signboard, and its importance is almost equal to the importance of the jade seal of the country before the Tang Dynasty to the Central Plains Dynasty.

At the beginning, Li Yuan rebelled against the Sui and established the Tang Dynasty, and later the Xuanwumen Rebellion occurred, passing the throne to his second son Li Shimin, who proclaimed himself Emperor Taishang.

At that time, the Li royal family did not have a jade seal, because the jade seal was brought to the Turks by Empress Xiao of Emperor Yang of Sui, together with Yang Zhengdao, the grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui.

There is no heirloom jade seal, which has become a knot in Li Shimin's heart, although people have carved several jade seals such as "life treasures", but after all, it is not a jade seal and a family bi.

This situation was not until the fourth year of Zhenguan, when Li Jing captured Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao while destroying the Turks, and then welcomed back the jade seal of the country.

In the Central Plains Dynasty of that period, without the jade seal of the country, you are not an orthodox dynasty.

And now, the bloodline of the golden family is equivalent to the heirloom jade seal of the grassland for the grassland.

For now, Tariba is the last known descendant of the Golden Family, and if the Ming Dynasty gets this person, then ......

"So, what about people?" Thinking of this, Zhou Xin raised his head and stared at Dehuan with a blazing gaze.

If you can get the person who is Tariba, then you can't do too much.

"This ......" Tuhuan stammered, but couldn't say a result.

It's not that he can't say it, it's just that he doesn't know how to say it.

"Didn't catch anyone?" Zhou Xin's brows furrowed.

"Yes......" Tuohuan lowered his head.

"If no one is caught, then everything is your statement, there is neither the shadow of the culprit, nor the conclusive human evidence, we can't believe it."

"Even if I accept your statement, the imperial court will not accept it, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu will not accept it."

……

Hearing the joy of hearing the anger.

He thought Zhou Xin was very good before, although he also mentioned Zhu Zhanyan, but he would not always scare him by hanging Zhu Zhanyan on his lips like Xia Yuanji.

Why has it changed this week?

Can you speak well, you have to say three sentences without leaving Zhu Zhanyan's little calf?

"We're still trying to track it down, but Zhou Zhaocha also knows that they are prepared, and they have already escaped with people after missing the previous blow."

"The grassland is so big, it's really difficult to track down a person."

"Besides, we can only trace it in the territory of Warat, and the place where you were attacked is on the Three Peaks Mountain, if Nataliba misses the blow, he will ......."

When Tuohuan said this, he paused, the expression on his face changed, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he chose to shut up.

"Oh?" Zhou Xin laughed, because he understood the meaning of dehuan.

"Your Excellency means that Tariba fled to the territory of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Or is it that Your Excellency is simply suspecting that my Daming has caught Tariba but keeps it a secret, and wants to mess around with you again?"

"Zhou pressed the envoy's words seriously." The situation is stronger than people, and Tuhuan immediately lowered his head.

"Warat is attached to the Ming Dynasty, we don't dare."

"Then there's not much to say." Zhou Xinhuan looked at Dehuan meaningfully and stood up.

"Rather than saying that there is neither physical evidence nor the shadow of the real murderer, it is better to focus on the experience and trace it."

"Do you think that Da Ming will accept this statement of yours?"

Hearing this, he bowed his head and didn't say a word.

Zhou Xin beckoned, and Tan Zhong immediately brought people in.

"Let's get happy, please." Zhou Xin is a civil official, and he is still polite in the end, but Tan Zhong is different.

Although Tan Zhong's ability is average, no matter how he says, he followed Zhu Zhan to the east to conquer the Japanese Kingdom, and he was stained with blood, and it was not comparable to ordinary generals.

Although Tuhuan is the son of Mahamu, he has not experienced the baptism of war, perhaps he is far superior to Tan Zhong in IQ and strategy, but in terms of momentum, he has fallen more than one step behind.

Although IQ and strategy are important, they are not as strong as strength.

is as strong as Zhuge Kongming, didn't he still fail to support the Han family in the end?

The result is the most important thing, without the result, everything is fake.

Watching Dehuan leave, Zhou Xin slowly leaned on the table.

After thinking about it, Zhou Xin took out a small wine jug from his bag.

Generally speaking, Zhou Xin is a very principled person, drinking alcohol during official business, this kind of thing usually does not appear to him, but this time is different.

This time it was beyond his expectations, and he needed to use some outside intervention to calm him down.

Tuohuan said that they had found out about Tariba's movements, believing that Tariba had led people to attack the household officials who had come to the grassland, and fled immediately after the defeat.

A few simple sentences, but there are many possibilities in it.

First, what Tuohuan said was true, it was indeed Tariba who attacked the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and fled immediately after the attack failed, so that Warat could not trace him.

Second, the statement of Dehuan is a half-truth, the person who attacked the Ming officials was someone else, but he did escape, and Wara just detained the black cauldron on Tariba's body, because Warat knew that when it came to Tariba, Daming would not be so impulsive.

Third, what Tuhuan said was all false, and the thing was done by Wara, and now he has found a reason to shirk it.

Fourthly, it was true, but the result was false, that is, it was indeed Tariba who attacked the household officials, but the result was not that he escaped, as Varat said, but was controlled by Varat.

Of the four possibilities, two and three are unlikely, because the ultimate point of these two possibilities is Varat, and if Varat does this, it will be worth the loss and unnecessary.

If the first possibility is the case, then the matter is deadlocked, because Tariba is so important that the matter will definitely be deadlocked in order to find his whereabouts.

But if it's the fourth possibility, then there are some of them.

Da Ming knows the importance of Tariba and it is impossible for Warat not to know it, and in Zhou Xin's opinion, in fact, the possibility of Tariba in the hands of Varat is higher.

The current grassland, on the surface, is either the territory of the Ming Dynasty or is attached to the Ming Dynasty, and as a descendant of the Golden Family and the only orthodox heir on the grassland, Tariba must find a way to restore the glory of their ancestors.

Therefore, there are not many options left for Tariba, and it can even be said that there is only one choice, and that is to choose to cooperate with Warat.

Regardless of whether the three kings of Warat harbored evil intentions or not, as long as Tariba wanted to restore the glory of the Golden Family, he could only cooperate with Warat, because the other forces on the grassland were either destroyed, or were purged and assimilated by the Ming Dynasty like the Wuliang Ha Sanwei.

In the same way, Warat has always harbored evil intentions, and has never really belonged to the Ming Dynasty, what they want is just a respite.

For Warat, Tariba is also a person who must be obtained, because only when he gets Tariba can Warat establish Tariba as Khan and return to the hearts of the people of the grassland.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xin put down the wine jug in his hand and picked up the brush on the pen stand.

This matter is already so big that it is not something that he, the envoy, can solve, let alone him, even Xia Yuanji is not qualified here.

Therefore, he has only one choice, that is, to report truthfully to Yingtian's side.
