Chapter 777 Interrogation

Chapter 777 Interrogation
Standing in the hall, Zhang Hongfan kept his gaze on the letter box.

I saw that the letter box was placed in front of a Muslim.

This time, he was born with yellow eyes, curly beard and hair, and has always followed Hebichi's side. He understands Mongolian and Chinese characters, but he has never passed names with them.

As soon as the letter box was put away, the first letter was immediately opened.

Zhang Hongfan took a step calmly, and stood a few steps behind Huang Yan Huihui.

At this distance, some characters can be read and some cannot, but he can recognize that this letter is written by Yan Zhongji, the general manager of Dongping Wanhu.

Turning his head to glance, he saw that Yan Zhongji's face was very ugly.

The Yan family is no less powerful than the Zhang family.

When the Jin Dynasty died, Yan Shi first attached himself to the Song Dynasty, and then felt that the Song Dynasty was unreliable, so he led 30 households in the eight prefectures of Zhangde and Daming to surrender.

Yan Shi died 20 years ago, and Yan Zhongji took over.

It is worth mentioning that Yan Zhongji is Zhang Wulang's father-in-law.

In other words, Yan Zhongji's daughter is currently in Sichuan and Shaanxi...

Thinking of this, Zhang Hongfan was a little startled secretly, but the yellow-eyed Hui Hui continued to open the letter.

This time when the letter paper was spread out, Zhang Hongfan's eyelids twitched again, and he saw that it was exactly the handwriting of his sixth brother Zhang Honglue.

A few years ago, Zhang Rou was in Bozhou, Zhang Honglue was the manager of Shuntian Ten Thousand Households, and Shuntian was on Li Fen's way to the north, so Li Fen must contact Zhang Honglue.

But Zhang Honglue never told Zhang Hongfan how he replied to Li Fen...

Suddenly, the iron chain clanged.

Li Fen has been escorted over.

Zhang Hongfan didn't turn his head to look right away, but waited until the yellow-eyed returner had put away Zhang Honglue's letter and read the next letter before turning back to Li Fen.

Judging only by his figure and appearance, Li Fen is indeed a hero.

His father, Li Quan, is well-known for being tall and majestic, and he is known as "Li Tieqiang". His mother, Yang Miaozhen, is not only invincible in the world with pear blossom guns, but also known as "beautiful as peaches and plums". Li Fen inherited the appearance of his parents. hero.

Although he was brought up by handcuffs at this time, Li Fen showed no fear, and just entered the hall, he looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahaha……"

Hearing this laughter, everyone in the hall looked even more ugly.

Everyone knows that if this kind of rebellious rebel is captured, he will not end well. He must be sentenced to the death penalty, quartered by five horses or executed by lingering... I thought Li Fen knew how to kill himself.

Never thought that this dog was captured in such a way.

"Hahaha, in the past, I sat cross-legged with the princes and lords, cut deer and cooked wine, and commented on the world." Li Fen looked around at the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Shi Tianze's face, and asked: "I don't know how Marshal Shi and Marshal Shi met each other like this today. How do the princes plan to deal with me?"

"Li Fen!"

It was not Shi Tianze who shouted first, but Yan Zhongji.

Yan Zhongji is even more dignified than Li Fen. When he was young, he was famous for his appearance, and he was good at both civil and military skills. One of them... But at this time, the emotion was extremely agitated.

Raising his hand and pointing at Li Fen, Yan Zhongji had already taken two steps forward.

"Do you know what you're doing?!"

In a word, it seems to be asking about Li Fen's rebellion, and it seems to be asking about Li Fen's random grabbing.

Li Fen sneered, and said, "What am I doing? What are you, Yan Zhongji, doing? Since you made an appointment to start an incident with me, why did you break the appointment?!"

……

Looking at this scene, Zhang Hongfan suddenly remembered another thing.

Just a few days ago, he received a message from Zhang Honglue from Bozhou, saying that Li Xia wiped out Ashu's 2 horses on the fifth day of September.

Zhang Honglue did not analyze this, but only passed on this news.

The problem is, today is September [-]th.It is absolutely impossible for normal news to be delivered so fast. Since Ashu has lost his horse, even Liupanshan, Jiezhou, and Luoyang don't know about Ashu's defeat.

Only Li Xia deliberately passed the news to Zhang Honglue, and then Zhang Honglue spread the news, so that Zhang Hongfan could learn about it within fifteen days.

Zhang Hongfan was sure that among the people present today, no more than three knew the news.

Such as He Bichi, Shi Tianze and others, it is impossible to know.

What about Yan Zhongji?
Is there a way for Li Xia to pass the battle report of the complete annihilation of Ashu to Yan Zhongji?
Just thinking of this, I only heard a "poof".

Yan Zhongji had actually stabbed Li Fen into the stomach...

Zhang Hongfan quickly glanced at Hebichi's expression, and found a look of shock in his eyes... The Mongolian Zongwang was frightened, obviously he did not expect Yan Zhongji to have such courage.

Looking at Shi Tianze again, Shi Tianze was a little surprised and puzzled, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he regained his composure in a moment, then he quickly rushed forward and grabbed Yan Zhongji himself.

The scene is messy.

Someone went to hold Li Fen's wound, and someone wanted to persuade Yan Zhongji, but they were afraid of hurting the two princes who were struggling.

"Let go! I killed this traitor!"

"calm……"

Zhang Hongfan took two steps forward, squinting his eyes, staring at Yan Zhongji's mouth.

He clearly saw Yan Zhongji talking with Shi Tianze, while opening and closing his lips slightly while shouting, he said something.

If Zhang Hongfan were to guess, what he said would be "Kill him, I don't believe His Majesty dares to touch us..."

Shi Tianze seemed to nod slightly, and quickly pulled Yan Zhongji away.

"Calm down!"

"Hmph! I will never be insulted by him!"

Yan Zhongji didn't give Shi Tianze any face, and strode out.

Zhang Hongfan looked back at Hebichi again, only to see that the Mongolian Zongwang was completely stunned.

Yan Zhongji's fuss made He Bichi realize that there are some situations that he can't handle, and it's better to let Shi Tianze call the shots.

Sure enough, He Bichi stopped talking, raised his hand, and signaled Huang Yanhui to put away the letter box.

At this time, Li Fen was bleeding profusely, but he was not dead yet, watching Shi Tianze continue to laugh.

"Shi Tianze! You have a document asking me to join the army, why did you break the alliance?"

"enough!"

Shi Tianze yelled loudly, without looking at He Bichi, he ordered: "Put this rebel under arrest, cut off his limbs, disembowel and cut up his liver, and put him to death!"

It's not that he hates Li Fen so much, but that treason must be punished with death.

However, Li Fen was still laughing and shouting wildly while being dragged down.

"Shi Tianze! Who was it that you gave Li Xia the information about Mongolia's attack on the Song Dynasty?! You were the one behind the death of Brother Meng! When things came to an end, you were a coward!"

"Yan Zhongji! Your Yan family has surrendered Jin, Song, and Mongolia. You can see which side is going to fall. Today, you underestimated me. You want to vote for Southwest Li Xia, but you can't do it? Or do you think the time has not come? Hahaha ..."

"Zhang Hongfan! Your fifth brother has already made an appointment with me to start an incident. He was in Kaifeng back then..."

Zhang Hongfan was furious, and before Li Fen could finish speaking, he chased after Li Fen in a big stride, and then rushed to the outside of the hall, when he saw two soldiers forcefully opened Li Fen's mouth, pulled out the tongue with his fingers, and cut it off. .

Blood splattered everywhere, and Li Fen spat out a mouthful of blood, still screaming, but couldn't complete a sentence.

A tongue fell to the ground.

"Drag on! Cut off limbs in public..."

Li Heng stepped forward and pulled Zhang Hongfan, signaling him not to be too conspicuous.

The two then retreated to one side to watch the execution.

At this time, He Bichi didn't dare to come forward, and Shi Tianze was allowed to preside over the follow-up matters.Zhang Hongfan watched with cold eyes, and whispered to Li Heng with his ear: "Do you remember the matter of Wang Xiao? Among the princes today, there must be someone who has contact with Li Xia."

"Who does Kuro think?"

Zhang Hongfan said: "I can't tell, but I'm afraid His Majesty will be in trouble..."

Li Heng squinted his eyes, but smiled slightly, and said in a low voice, "But this is also Jiu Lang's chance, isn't it?"

Before Zhang Hongfan could answer, there was a burst of shouting in front of him.

It was Li Fen's hands that had been cut off, and because he lost his tongue, the screams were very strange, and many people around were startled to scream...

~~
Shi Tianze's face was gloomy.

He knew very well that Kublai Khan had long wanted to take advantage of Li Fen's incident to take back the military power of the princes of various families.

Today, Hebichi tried Li Fen and collected letters, which is a signal.

That Emperor's Majesty was always impeccable in his work. If he wanted to move civil servants, he used Wang Wentong to pinch them;

Anyway, excuses can be found.

Yan Zhongji also understood that he wanted to use Brother Ali and Li Xia to threaten His Majesty.

In this matter, His Majesty can't grasp the balance well.

At a time like this, his attitude towards Shi Tianze is crucial.

If he takes the lead to be tougher, he will be able to consolidate the original authority for the princes; if he takes the lead to be soft, he can help Kublai Khan stabilize the situation and take back part of the power of the princes...

Thinking of this, Shi Tianze turned his head to look at the crowd, and happened to meet Zhang Hongfan's gaze.

The old and the young nodded in tacit understanding.

~~
Ten days later, a secret letter reached Chang'an.

After Han Qi'an read it, he handed the letter to Wu Qian.

"It seems that even if Li Fen is wiped out, the situation in the Central Plains will not be stabilized too quickly. Kublai Khan actually wants to knock those princes at this time."

"It can't be done without beating. In the past, the Mongols were too indulgent to the princes. Now they want to fight for the Khan position. He needs the support of the Mongolian clan. It must be knocked."

"We have instigated several princes to prevent Kublai Khan from easily cleaning up the situation."

"Don't be too optimistic." Wu Qian shook his head, "The key to this matter lies in Shi Tianze's attitude."

Han Qi'an said: "It's not for Shi Tianze to join him, as long as he dares to fight for the benefits he deserves..."

"If he is really tough, why bother to attack Li Fen. According to the old man, time will not be too much. We need to capture the Hexi Corridor before Kublai Khan is free."
