"Everyone settled down?"
Dongchuanhou looked at Di Jie who came in, put down the military intelligence document in his hand, and rubbed his temples.
There was a tiredness in his voice, and after he finished speaking, he took a sip of the ginseng tea on the table.
After saluting respectfully, Di Jie said cautiously, "If you go back to the Marquis, it's already settled, and it's in the inn in the south of the city."
"What did those red-clothed messengers say?" Dongchuanhou put down the ginseng tea and asked again.
Di Jie hurriedly replied: "When entering the city, the female commander named Qin Qiao'er proposed to meet the Marquis. I said that you have an important military proposal to push. After they checked into the inn, they could not wait to send out The staff has been recruited, and relevant investigations have been carried out. I don't know whether to stop it or not, and I haven't responded for the time being.
Dongchuan Hou said in a calm tone: "Let them check. They came to my Qingtangwei to check the case. If we don't let them check, it will make us feel guilty. Let's see what they can find. Let's see if these red-clothed messengers are in vain. As for seeing me, they have to hang out for a few more days."
"Yes." Di Jie handed the order.
Next, Marquis Dongchuan asked some more information, such as how many red-clothed messengers Qin Qiaoer brought, what kind of strength they were in, what kind of weapons and equipment, and supernatural items they brought.
Regarding these situations, Dongchuan Hou not only asked very carefully, but occasionally asked a few more questions, which made Di Jie break into a cold sweat. Especially when he didn't answer a few questions, his heart trembled and his scalp felt numb.
Fortunately, Marquis Dongchuan did not embarrass him, but only ordered: "Go and find out about these problems, and then report to me. Remember, inquire secretly, don't startle the snake."
"Yes." Di Jie hurriedly took the order, feeling as if he had escaped doom.
When Di Jie left the council hall, Dongchuan Hou Shizi said in a low voice, "Father, these red-clothed messengers, after all, are the emperor's personal army and represent the emperor's face. If we leave them aside like this, will there be anything wrong with them? question?"
"It's okay."
When there were no outsiders, the tired state of Dongchuan Hou disappeared instantly, and the whole person was like a tiger, exuding a compelling momentum and spirit.
"I just want to use this method to express my grievances and dissatisfaction to the emperor. With the character of our emperor, if I don't make trouble and cooperate with the investigation of the red-clothed messenger, he will suspect that I am in When it comes to acting, I might have to issue an decree to let the red-clothed messenger lock me up, and be escorted to Beijing like the King of Shu."
The Duke of Dongchuan knew that his father had always grasped the emperor's suspicious character very well, and naturally he had no objection, but was worried: "I am afraid that those red-clothed messengers will be resentful and talk nonsense after returning to Beijing, and give us eye drops. ."
"I'm not afraid." Dongchuanhou sneered disdainfully and said, "It's just a few red-clothed messengers. If they really dare to do that, I'll make them regret it. Don't talk about Qi Longfei, even if Lu Bing comes forward, I can't keep them, I said!"
After a pause, the Marquis of Dongchuan said again: "In the past two days, take the time to go to the inn in the south of the city and express my condolences and apologies to the red-clothed messengers, saying that the military situation is urgent, I really can't leave, and so on. After dealing with these urgent military affairs, you must cooperate with their investigation. If they want to see the generals involved in the case, you should say that I need to make the decision, and you are just looking for an excuse to delay it anyway.”
"Yes." Dongchuan Hou Shizi answered with hands.
"By the way, have those generals confessed any new information?" Dongchuanhou asked again.
"Not yet." Dongchuan Hou Shizi shook his head: "They insisted that they didn't know it."
Dongchuan Hou's face suddenly sank, and he said in a stern tone: "I don't know? Who can Nenghu get with such nonsense? If they don't know it, can they let hundreds of Qingtang barbarians pass the boundary? Everyone said that, that night, they received the password passed down by them and made changes to the defense, but they actually said that they didn't know it? Those passwords can't be passed down through their mouths, right? If this is the case, then They are even more guilty! Let the people in the army who are good at torture torture them in a good way. If we can investigate the whole thing before the red-clothed messenger, we may be able to turn the fault into the merit. Wait until the Qingtang people are repelled and say Maybe you can get an official promotion."
Dongchuan Hou Shizi responded with a 'yes', and then said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that there will be another moth in Qingtang. The matter of privately sending savage soldiers to cross the border makes us very passive, and now they actually I want to poison the food and grass... I'm worried about them, because I want to make the fake drama real!"
Dongchuanhou looked at his son with a look of relief, nodded and said, "You are right, these barbarians are not credible, if we don't give them a little color, they really think we can take care of them. !"
Dongchuan Hou Shizi suddenly realized: "Is this why you made a sneak attack plan?"
"That's right." The Duke of Dongchuan nodded, "Only by letting the Qingtang barbarians see our fists can they be honest and obedient and stop causing trouble. I have dealt with Qingtang for decades, and I have been dealing with them for decades. That set of tricks, you can't be familiar with it again."
Dongchuan Hou Shizi hesitated: "But if you do this, will it really anger the Qingtang side?"
Dongchuan Hou is confident: "No, Qingtang's character is that the weaker you are, the more arrogant he will be. But when you give him a bit of ruthlessness, he will immediately become obedient and obedient until he thinks he has found it again. Chance."
"Father is wise!"
Dongchuan Hou Shizi cupped his hands and said, with a sincere look.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
In the past two days, Zang Feng, as a red-clothed messenger, went to several yamen in the city to understand the situation.
In the process, although he did not have a closed door, he encountered the ball-playing and dragging tactics between the various yamen.
In Qin Shaoyou's words, these departments seem to be cooperating with the investigation, but they are not fully cooperating.
However, on Qiu Shi's side, the progress was very smooth.
The flies, ants, and other Gu insects he cultivated are perfect for eyeliner.
The people that Di Jie arranged to follow near the inn were identified by these Gu insects.
There are even Gu worms that quietly cling to these people, and when they need it, they will violently injure the enemy.
It was through the eyes of these Gu worms that Qiu Shi discovered that the troops in the main city of Qingtang Guard were being mobilized, and it seemed that there was really a war going to happen.
The secret investigation by Zhu Xiucai and others has also made good progress.
Especially Zhu Xiucai, who is not only good at disguising and tracking, but also a social cow. He just relies on his disguised identity to get acquainted with the officials in many yamen in the city, and he has obtained a lot of useful information from their mouths.
For example, Zhu Xiucai found out that several generals involved in the case had already been controlled, but he did not know where they were detained~www.mtlnovel.com~ However, Zhu Xiucai asked the names and places of origin of those generals. Even the birthday, while Cui Youku was amazed, based on these circumstances, divination and deduction, it was calculated that the few people were indeed trapped in Lingyuan, and it is very likely that they were detained in the east of the city.
With the approximate range, Qiu Shi immediately let his Gu worms start a carpet-like search in the eastern area of the city.
Really found a few prisons.
It's a pity that the guards in these prisons are very strict, and there are even magic circles and supernatural objects.
If Qiu Shi's Gu worm invaded hard, it would be hard to guarantee that he would not be discovered, so after discussing it with Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer, he decided not to scare the snake for the time being, and let the Gu worm guard outside to see who enters and leaves the prison and conducts a follow-up investigation.
As for the situation in the prison, it is up to Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer to think otherwise.
They were discussing when they suddenly heard a secret signal from the red-clothed messenger on duty, followed by a courier who quickly ran to the gate of the small courtyard and preached: "Everyone, the Duke of Dongchuan has come to visit you."
