Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 232 The real culprit... or the scapegoat?

Just when Zhu Zhanhe was sharpening his sword and preparing to take action against Man Lajia, Zhou Xin on the grassland also made new progress regarding the attack on Ming Dynasty household officials.

"So, you have now discovered that there are abnormal personnel transfers in Hulanhushuwen City, but they do not belong to your Wala, right?"

Zhou Xin looked at Tuo Huan in front of him and asked thoughtfully.

Zhou Xin is an inspector, known among the people as cold-faced and cold-hearted, and his experience can be said to be quite rich.

In his past experience, this statement was usually regarded as nonsense by him, because in his opinion, it was generally a standard argument used to find scapegoats for evildoers.

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

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

Daliba, whose full name is Borjijin Daliba, is a bloodline of the Golden Family and is also the son of Borjijin Benyashili.

At the beginning, the Ming army defeated the Tatar army during its northern expedition. Benya was so embarrassed that he escaped with only seven horses. He was finally met by Zhu Zhanhe who was walking his dog on the banks of the Onan River.

At that time, those who escorted Benya Shili to escape in the chaos were all capable Tatar soldiers, but no one saw Benya Shili's son Taliba.

The Ming army also investigated, but the conclusion was that Benya Shili did not bring Daliba with him on this personal expedition. The evidence is that the Tatar army did not have many old, weak, women, children and other family members, and only the Arutai tribe did. have.

But that's because the Arutai tribe's base is around the Luqu River where the two armies first clashed. Bringing their families with them was really a helpless move by the Arutai tribe, and it was also what prompted Arutai to eventually part ways with Benya Shili. one of the reasons.

In the end, regarding the whereabouts of Daliba, everyone from Zhu Di to ordinary soldiers believed that Benya left him in the Onan River in the Longxing land of the Golden Family when he went on an expedition.

Later, the Ming army also searched for it, but failed to find it. They thought that the other party learned that their Tatar army was defeated by the Ming army and escaped in advance.

Now, Zhou Xin really didn't dare to draw any conclusions when it was about Da Liba.

In fact, Zhou Xin had already planned it before. No matter what explanation Wala gave, he was prepared to imitate Zhu Zhanhe and cause trouble.

He did not intend to cause a war between Ming Dynasty and Wala, but he just wanted Wala to bleed a lot and pay a huge price in the mutual market or other aspects.

If Wala gave another explanation, or pushed someone else out as a scapegoat, Zhou Xin was ready to ignore it, but...

Answer: Liba, it really doesn’t work.

For the grassland, the Borzhijin clan is a golden sign, and its importance is almost equivalent to the importance of the imperial seal passed down before the Tang Dynasty to the Central Plains dynasty.

At first, Li Yuan rebelled against the Sui Dynasty and established the Tang Dynasty. Later, the Xuanwu Gate Revolution occurred and the throne was passed to his second son Li Shimin, who called himself the Supreme Emperor.

At that time, the Li family did not have the Imperial Seal, because the Imperial Seal was brought to Turks by Empress Xiao of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, together with Yang Zhengdao, the grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui.

The lack of Chuanguo Yuxi has become a knot in Li Shimin's heart. Although he has had several jade seals such as "Shoushoubao" engraved successively, they are not Chuanguo Yuxi and Shibi after all.

This situation lasted until the fourth year of Zhenguan, when Li Jing defeated the Turks and captured Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao, and then he welcomed back the imperial seal.

In the Central Plains dynasties of that period, if you did not have a national jade seal, you would not be an orthodox dynasty.

But now, the blood of the golden family is equivalent to the jade seal of the grassland to the grassland.

For now, Borji Jin Daliba is the last known descendant of the Golden Family. If the Ming Dynasty gets this person, then...

"So, what about people?" Thinking of this, Zhou Xin raised his head and stared at Tuo Huan with piercing eyes.

If you can get Daliba, then no matter what you do, it won't be too much.

"This..." Tuohuan was speechless, but couldn't come up with a result.

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

"No one was caught?" Zhou Xin frowned.

"Yes..." Tuohuan lowered his head.

"If no one has been arrested, then everything is just what they said. There is no trace of the culprit, and there is no conclusive witness or material evidence. We cannot believe it."

"Even if I accept your statement, the court will not accept it, and neither will His Highness Prince Wu."

……

Hearing this, Tuo Huan became angry.

He had thought Zhou Xin was quite good before. Although he had mentioned Zhu Zhanhe, he would not scare him by always talking about Zhu Zhanhe like Xia Yuanji did.

Why has Zhou Xin changed now?
Is it possible to speak properly without saying anything less than that little brat Zhu Zhanhe?

"We are still working hard to trace them, but as you know, Inspector Zhou, they are well prepared, and they have already escaped with their men if they missed a hit."

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

"Besides, we can only trace within Wala's territory. The location where you were attacked is in Sanfeng Mountain. If Nadalibaba misses a single blow, he will..."

When Tuo Huan said this, he paused for a moment, 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 having sex.

"Your Excellency, you mean that Daliba fled to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Or maybe you simply suspect that I, the Ming Dynasty, have captured Daliba but kept it secret, and want to mess with you again?"

"Envoy Zhou's words are serious." The situation was stronger than the others, so Tuohuan immediately lowered his head.

"We don't dare to surrender to the Ming Dynasty in Wala."

"Then there's nothing more to say." Zhou Xinrao looked at Tuo Huan thoughtfully and stood up.

"Instead of saying here that there is neither evidence nor evidence of the real culprit, it is better to put the experience on the investigation."

"Could it be that you think Daming will accept your statement?"

Hearing this, Tuo Huan lowered his head and said nothing.

Zhou Xin waved, and Tan Zhong immediately led people in.

"Have fun, please." Zhou Xin was a civil servant, so he was still polite after all, but Tan Zhong was different.

Although Tan Zhong's abilities are mediocre, he followed Zhu Zhanhe to conquer the Japanese kingdom, and he was stained with blood, and he was not comparable to ordinary generals.

Although Tuo Huan is Mahamu's son, he has not experienced the baptism of war. Perhaps he is far superior to Tan Zhong in terms of IQ and strategy, but in terms of momentum, he falls behind by more than one step.

Although IQ and strategy are important, they cannot compare to hard power.

As strong as Zhuge Kongming, didn't he still fail to support the Han Dynasty in the end?
Results are the most important, without results, everything is false.

Watching Tuo Huan leave, Zhou Xin slowly leaned on the table.

After thinking about it, Zhou Xin took out a small wine bottle from his luggage.

Generally speaking, Zhou Xin is a very principled person. Drinking while on official business usually does not happen to him, but this time it is different.

This time things went beyond his expectations, and he needed some outside intervention to calm him down.

Tuo Huan said that they found something strange about Da Liba, and thought that Da Liba led people to attack the Ministry of Household officials who came to the grassland this time, and fled immediately after the failure.

A few simple sentences, but they contain many possibilities.

First, what Tuhuan said is true. It was indeed Daliba who attacked officials of the Ming Dynasty and fled immediately after the attack failed, leaving Waladu unable to trace his traces.

Second, the talk of having sex is half-truth and half-false. The person who attacked the Ming officials was someone else, but he did escape. Wala just put the blame on Daliba, because Wala knew that when Daliba was involved, When the time comes, Daming will not be so impulsive.

Thirdly, everything Tuhuan said was false, it was Wala who did it, and now he just found an excuse to shirk it.

Fourth, the thing was true, but the result was false. In other words, it was Daliba who indeed attacked the household official, but he did not escape as Wala said, but was controlled by Wala.

Among the four possibilities, the second and third possibilities are unlikely, because the final direction of these two possibilities is Wala, and if Wala does this, the gain outweighs the loss, and it is unnecessary.

If it is the first possibility, then the matter is at a standstill, because Dariba is too important, and in order to trace his whereabouts, things will definitely reach a standstill.

But if it is the fourth possibility, then there is something to say.

Daming knew the importance of Daliba, and it was impossible for Wala not to know it. And in Zhou Xin's opinion, it was actually more likely that Daliba would be in Wala's hands.

On the surface, the current grassland is either the territory of the Ming Dynasty or it belongs to the Ming Dynasty. As a descendant of the Golden Family and the only orthodox heir on the grassland, Da Liba must find a way to restore the glory of their ancestors.

Therefore, there are not many choices left for Daliba. It can even be said that there is only one choice, and that is to choose to cooperate with Wala.

No matter whether the three kings of Wala have evil intentions or not, as long as Daliba wants to restore the glory of the Golden Family, he can only cooperate with Wala, because other forces on the grassland were either destroyed or purged by the Ming Dynasty like the three guards of Wuliangha. and assimilated.

In the same way, Wala has always harbored evil intentions and has never truly joined the Ming Dynasty. All they want is a chance to breathe.

For Wala, Daliba is also a person who must be obtained, because only by getting Daliba can Wala make Daliba his Khan and win the hearts of the grassland people.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xin put down the flagon in his hand and picked up the brush on the pen holder.

This matter has become so serious that he, the inspector, can't solve it, let alone him, even Xia Yuanji is not qualified to be here.

Therefore, he had only one choice, and that was to report the truth to Ying Tian.
