Han Qing looked at Su Qi'an, who had a kind face in front of him, and felt bitter in his heart, thinking that this time was a beautiful difference, no matter how bad it was, at least there was respect.

But this time, it was he who miscalculated, and this Dongshan Marquis is no longer the same kind of person compared to him in the defense of Kyoto more than a year ago.

It seems to be kind, but once it angers him, this person will be more ruthless than anyone else, and he has no doubt that once he continues to deceive, he will definitely throw him into the river to feed the fish, and he will definitely do what he says.

Han Qing's heart was full of bitterness, and after a simple silence, he told everything he knew, especially who instructed him to deliberately make things difficult for Su Qi'an, and told them one by one.

Han Qing's voice fell, and without waiting for Su Qi'an to speak, Tong Zhan beside him said directly.

"You are telling a lie, you are the commander of the forbidden army, the most important close minister by Your Majesty's side, and you actually said that you were instructed to be Zaifu? You really can't be fooled by us! ”

Not to mention Tong Zhan, even Su Yong behind him was suspicious, through Han Qing's narration, they knew that this escort, deliberately embarrassed and tempted on the ship, was all entrusted by Zheng Yuan.

is to find out whether Su Qi'an has any secret interests with local officials and other families in Dongzhou in the past half a year.

The reason why Han Qing obeyed the order was very simple, one was that in the early years, he was on an errand in the imperial city and offended some ministers in the court, but Zheng Yuan came forward to resolve the contradictions between the two sides.

So this escort, after receiving Zheng Yuan's request, Han Qing agreed without thinking about it, which can be regarded as a change of favor.

This sounds very reasonable, but Tong Zhan and Su Yong don't believe it at all, what are you kidding, this is not a trivial matter, just to repay the favor, you can let the commander of the imperial city interview and probe.

Behind this, the person who instructed was only Zaifu Zheng Yuan? As for the second prince and the fourth prince, they are not involved at all, which is incredible.

The two questioned, Han Qing looked at Su Qi'an, who had an indifferent face, and hurriedly explained.

"Inspector, I really didn't lie to you, this is absolutely true, your conjecture is indeed reasonable, but I don't dare to do it, I am the commander of the forbidden army, how can I have a close relationship with the prince with my status."

"This is a big sin of losing his head, even if Han is bold and stupid, he can always figure out what he can do and what he can't do."

"This matter really has nothing to do with the princes, it is indeed entrusted by Zheng Zaifu, and I also ask the supervisor to believe in Han, and borrow a hundred guts from Han, I don't dare to deceive you."

Han Qing's voice was eager, with sincerity on his face, and it seemed that he really didn't mean to deceive.

But Tong Zhan and Su Yong still didn't believe it, and hugged Su Qi'an.

"Sir, this man is definitely an old fox, he must not tell the truth, give him to us, and promise to let him spit out the truth."

"That's right, we have time anyway, and we can't believe that we can't pry his mouth open before the ship goes ashore."

Tong Zhan and Su Yong were in high spirits, and they wanted to take Han Qing off the deck, ready to give him a good education, but just as the two of them were acting, Su Qi'an's voice suddenly sounded.

"Okay, you two stop, I believe what Han Qing said, it's not a lie, lock them up first, and when you get to Kyoto City soon, you're chatting with them, take them down."

Hearing this, Han Qing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, just now he really thought that he would be served by heavy punishment, so he almost screamed and scolded.

Fortunately, Su Qi'an was sensible, believed him, and thanked Su Qi'an again and again.

Although the ship was temporarily controlled by Su Qi'an, he at least saved his life, no matter how bold Su Qi'an was, it was impossible for him to really dare to kill him.

I will be patient in the past few days, and when the ship docks and returns to Kyoto City, I must complain to Su Qi'an fiercely.

What Han Qing thought in his heart, Su Qi'an naturally couldn't guess, but he didn't bother to guess, and wanted to use the accusation to refer to him, the minister of the court and the central government was more skilled than him.

But in the end, without exception, he was not involved, just by Han Qing, even if he said that it was impossible to be the commander of the forbidden army.

Su Qi'an dared to do this, naturally he had his confidence, if Han Qing dared to join him, Su Qi'an would also counteract, and he would not have any worries in his heart.

Of course, this matter is all an afterthought, no one on either side can think of what the other party is thinking, at least on the surface, Han Qing is in a very soft state, and he thanked Su Qi'an again and again.

Then, the direct team took Han Qing off the deck, and temporarily imprisoned him and the forbidden army on the ship in the cabin, as for when he was released, everything was waiting for Su Qi'an to speak.

Not long after Han Qing was taken away, Tong Zhan and Su Yong wanted to speak, but they were stopped by Su Qi'an.

He naturally knew what the two wanted to say, that is, they trusted Han Qing too much, anyway, he didn't believe Han Qing's nonsense.

Su Qi'an said unhurriedly to the two, "Indeed, I didn't quite believe what Han Qing said at first, but after thinking about it, he was right about one thing, he was the commander of the forbidden army, and this identity was destined for him not to have too much contact with the princes." ”

"This position of his is said to be the last line of defense to protect His Majesty, and it is the eyes of His Majesty, if even he was bought by the two princes, I am afraid that he would have been taken down by His Majesty."

"As any emperor, you will never allow your eyes to be bought, even if it is your own heir, if you really want to do this, that is the most terrible."

"Don't forget, although Zheng Yuan is Zaifu, he is also the second prince's person, even if there is no indication from the second prince, when he opens his mouth, it makes people feel that there are instructions behind him in disguise."

"Zheng Yuan can sit in the position of Zaifu, he still has wisdom, so many pairs of eyes are staring, he dares to instruct Han Qing, he is not afraid of causing trouble to his master, I think this Kyoto City, I am afraid that there have been great changes compared to half a year ago."

Listening to Su Qi'an's story, Tong Zhan and Su Yong came back to their senses, not as impulsive as they were just now, with a bit of solemnity on their faces.

This thing is that they thought about it simply, and they didn't expect the water behind them to be so deep.

Looking at the emotions on the faces of the two, Su Qi'an smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous," the ministers of the imperial court didn't want to knock me down once, but in the end, I wasn't safe and sound, it didn't matter, this time it was treated as an appetizer. ”

"I'm curious to know what moths they will prepare for me when I return to Beijing."

"Sir, do you want your subordinates to talk to Han Qing, know more, and be prepared."

"Well, go ahead, remember not to be strong, but also the commander of the forbidden army, and there is some value."

"Understand, subordinates know how to measure." Tong Zhan and Su Yong clasped their fists and turned to leave.

The idea of the two is good, but according to Su Qi'an's estimate, it is basically impossible to know some secrets from Han Qing's mouth.

Zheng Yuan found Han Qing this time, as long as he tried to test it, as for the rest, he didn't tell anything, which not only shows that Zheng Yuan's vigilance is strong enough.

Similarly, I was also prepared for Han Qing's failure in my heart, to put it bluntly, this difficulty was just a simple temptation.

As for the purpose, Su Qi'an can't guess it for the time being, but with the contact between him and Zheng Yuan for so many years, every time he makes a move, there must be a huge conspiracy behind him.

Especially the people of the Fusang delegation half a year ago impressed Su Qi'an, if it weren't for Zheng Yuan's intervention, the matter of pacifying Dongzhou would not have fallen on him.

This Zheng Yuan is a difficult old fox to deal with.

Su Qi'an turned around, walked to the deck, and took out a letter from his arms, which Feng Zheng handed him before leaving.

Feng Zheng has a special identity, and this time he came to Yuezhou to investigate the case of the traitor of the king of Yue, and the final investigation made it clear that it was naturally impossible to stay in the two states of East and Vietnam.

In order to avoid suspicion, Su Qi'an spent two months in Dongzhou, and then returned to Beijing first.

Before returning to Beijing, he gave him a letter, which probably meant that he was the first person in the first place about the pacification of the Dongzhou War.

This is not what Feng Zheng meant, this is what Su Kang meant, and even the Dongzhou officials have no opinion.

After returning to Beijing, rewards are indispensable, and if you don't get the title, you will go further, which is a good thing for others.

But in Su Qi'an's eyes, it was another eventful season, and he had a hunch that this return to Beijing would definitely be made a big fuss about this matter.

Feng Zheng's letter more or less mentioned this matter, making him cautious and vigilant.

Su Qi'an tore off the letter in his hand, turned into confetti with the river wind, and went away with the wind.

Su Qi'an's face was indifferent, and he still had the same attitude, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks were waiting for him in Kyoto City, the soldiers would block it, and the water would cover it.

……

After Su Qi'an left Dongzhou, he set off to return to Kyoto City, on the opposite side of the sea, very far away from Fusang and Shangjing.

In a mansion built with huge pavilions, samurai dressed in clogs came and went, patrolling the mansion, their expressions were cold, their eyes were very vigilant, their palms were on the long knife at their waists, and they would draw their swords at any time if there was any emergency.

And in the middle of the many roving samurai, in a gazebo, two figures knelt on the floor, sipping tea.

Looking closer, these people are none other than Showa Incheon and De Yasuke.

The two sat opposite each other, sipping tea with a comfortable expression, this silence did not last long, and suddenly, a man in aristocratic clothes in the distance walked quickly in the direction of Showa Incheon.

The clogs under his feet creaked rapidly, and the surrounding samurai did not stop him, but instead bowed slightly as he passed by, showing respect.

The aristocratic man, when he walked outside the pavilion, stopped, quickly knelt down and saluted, and then hurriedly said.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, good news, according to the report from the spies under his subordinates, the Dongzhou Supervision Envoy has returned to Beijing, they are by water, according to estimates, it will take at least four or five days to return to Daliang Kyoto."

"This is a great opportunity for us to make a move, as long as His Royal Highness gives an order, the hidden chess hidden in the territory of Daliang will make a move, and this time we will kill Su Qi'an."

"Take down his head to avenge the defeat in the naval battle of Zhoushan Island, and tens of thousands of Fuso warriors will be shattered in the spirit of the sky."
