Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 320 Righteousness

Chi Malo looked stubborn, but felt a bit sad in his heart.

Chi Maluo and his party were attacked inexplicably at the foot of Jishi Mountain, and she didn't know what happened at first.

But these days when I calm down and think carefully, many questions arise.

First of all, there were a lot of thieves in the sneak attack. How did they get close in the dark?

Although Chimaluo didn't know how many thieves there were, he could tell from the dense rain of arrows that they were definitely not less than 300. It was really weird to let three hundred people get close to him, but he was the first one to discover it.

Who is the thief?

Tang Ting? Tuyuhun? Or Tubo?

Only these three parties have the ability to arrange a force of 300 people to Jishi Mountain to ambush them.

After targeted consideration, the first person Chi Maluo eliminated was Tang Ting.

If Tang Ting really wanted to take action against them, why would it be so troublesome?

What's more, she was rescued by Tang Bing, so even if she was acting, she wouldn't act like this.

Then she was asked to rule out Tuyuhun...

It is true that Tuyuhun was the mortal enemy of Tibet, but everyone knew the virtues of Tuyuhun Khan. If he really had such strategic ability, he wouldn't be like this now.

What's more, their whereabouts are certainly not a secret, but in a place like Jishi Mountain where farming and grazing is impossible, there are few people around, and there is no human habitation within a hundred miles.

This was originally the place where Bai Lanqiang lived. It was nominally the territory of Tubo, but it was an uninhabited land and was not suitable for human survival.

The thieves could ambush them accurately, but Tuyuhun absolutely couldn't.

After thinking about it, Tubo was the only answer. Only if there was a traitor inside could such a precise ambush be achieved.

At first, Chimaluo thought that the target of the opponent was Dayan Mangbozhi. Compared with himself, an insignificant woman, Dayan Mangbozhi was a Tubo deputy and was Galdongzan’s most reliable right-hand man. If someone killed him, it would be Very normal thing.

But as she was brought back to the Tang Dynasty by Tang Jun and noticed Tang Bing's attitude towards her, Chimalo had new ideas.

The appearance of the Tang army was very unusual. They repelled the thieves as if divine soldiers descended from heaven, and then rescued themselves back to the Tang realm. It was a bit strange.

If it was a coincidence and accident, this Tang army had other missions and could not be kind enough to save themselves. It would be good not to silence them.

But after they saved him, they immediately retreated, as if they came just for themselves.

This can't be a coincidence.

They came here to save themselves.

If the thief is not from Tang Ting, then they sent someone to save themselves...

With Chi Malo's intelligence, how could he not understand why?

All these signs are enough to show that Tang Ting knew something in advance, and he must have a purpose to save himself.

Chimaluo is very smart. At this moment, she may not be the Tubo Queen Mother who turned clouds and rain on the plateau, stabilized the court situation, and assisted three generations of Zanpu, but she also has an extraordinary political sense.

I started to contact people up and down, started to peel off the cocoon, and gradually came up with a terrible idea.

It was also because of this terrible thought that Chimalo wanted to die.

After all, Chi Maluo was an unusual woman. She had no resentment, let alone revenge. What she thought about was what Tang Ting would do with her as a chess piece.

Chimaluo is a girl from the Lu family, and she is born with her own responsibilities.

Tang Ting went to such great lengths to rescue him, and the matter also involved the highest level of Tubo. If Tang Ting succeeded, the consequences would be unpredictable.

For the sake of Tubo, for the sake of exterminating the Lu family, and for the sake of his father who was the leader, Chimaluo chose to commit suicide...

However, he was too weak and failed.

She couldn't resist the force-feeding, and she couldn't starve to death, so she could only live honestly to this day.

Listening to Chi Maluo's words that he had no good intentions, Chen Qingsi nodded generously and said: "You and I have different positions. What is evil in your eyes is a national matter in my eyes. Also, rest in peace and recuperate, you don't have to die. "..." He paused and said: "Your life and death are not that important anymore. I have to admit... Galdongzan is really awesome!"

Chimaluo's expression changed greatly, and he wanted to get up, but he fell down on the bed. There was a bit of fear in his beautiful eyes, "What do you mean by this?"

Chen Qingsi looked at Chi Maluo and said, "Gaer Dongzan said that your father colluded with Bai Lanqiang and intended to rebel. He has been imprisoned."

After hearing these words, Chimalo felt like the world was spinning. He raised his palm slightly in the air and grabbed it again and again, and finally dropped it weakly.

He opened his mouth, rolled his eyes, and became angry.

Chen Qingsi let out a long breath as she watched the female doctor on the side step forward to treat her.

This is not that he deceived Chi Maluo, it is a fact that happened on the plateau.

Trimalo's father, Pelushi Zanli, was betrayed by his uncle, Pelushi Kebude.

Kebude accused Lu Shi Zanli of colluding with Bai Lanqiang to attack and kill Dayan Mangbuzhi with the intention of treason, and he also produced "real evidence".

Galdongzan took this as a reason to rectify the Bulu family and handed over the power of the Bulu family to the Bulu family Kebude.

This is what Chen Qingsi admires most about Gal Dongzan. He strikes too quickly, too accurately and too harshly.

Without Lushi Zanli as Zanpu's future father-in-law, he had every reason to attack and kill Dayan Mangbuzhi.

Of course it was not a rebellion, but an attempt to cut off one of Galdongzan's arms.

Galdongzan has always implemented the king's way in Tubo. To put it simply, he governs Shu in the same way as Zhuge Liang. He is a powerful prime minister who is loved by officials and people in Tubo.

But with the death of Zan Xiruoduobu, Galdongzan has now begun to turn from kingly to domineering, from Zhuge Liang to Cao Cao...

A powerful minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a powerful minister in the Ji Han Dynasty, and the same powerful ministers Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao are completely different concepts.

The originally harmonious and stable Tubo temples were in darkness due to the changes of Gal Dongzan.

Gal Dongzan inserted his cronies into Liuru, Tubo. As the Melushi Zanli who was closest to Zanpu, it was reasonable and reasonable to secretly plot to kill Gal Dongzan.

So when Gal Dongzan captured Wu Lu Shi Zanli, many nobles in Tubo who had good relations with Wu Lu Shi Zanli even secretly sighed, "Bu Lu Shi Zanli is too reckless. Even if he wants to take action, he has to wait until the time is right. Rather than being so hasty.”

The Tubo nobles did not believe that Zanli would rebel without Lu, but they believed that he would attack and kill Dayan Mangbuzhi.

They knew that rebellion was the crime that Galdongzan had convicted Lu Shizanli of, but they could not justify it. After all, attacking Fu Lun was a crime of beheading.

It was obvious that after Gal Dongzan learned of the sudden appearance of the Tang Army, he immediately made adjustments to avoid the unknown risk of the crisis with the least loss.

Galdongzan's counterattack pushed the problem to the forefront, and the Chimalo chess piece also lost its due effect.

Of course, it’s not completely ineffective…

Gal Dongzan revealed his trump card. As the No. 1 noble of Tubo, there was actually a traitor inside the Bulu family. This is undoubtedly a warning to other nobles such as the Chen family, the Nazhi family, and the Wei family.

There is a mole in the Lu family, but there are people from Galdongzan. Are there people in their clan as well?

Moreover, without the Lu family as the first noble of Tubo, it would be impossible for a traitor to control the internal affairs.

Galdongzan will be busy for a while in the future, so don’t think about expansion in the short term.

They have enough time to station their troops on Qinghai Lake and have time to recuperate and deal with the three clowns and the Japanese in Haidong Peninsula.

As for the Chi Malo in front of him, it is not completely useless.

With Gardongzan's methods, it would be difficult for the Lu family to come forward again. Whether Chimalo seeks revenge with the help of Tang Ting or plans to take revenge on his own, he can bring a lot of trouble to Gardongzan.

Keep it, it's still useful.

Chimalo gradually regained consciousness under the doctor's acupuncture.

Her eyes were cracked, tears were streaming down her face, her face was twisted and hideous, highlighting her white teeth, "Old dog..."

She respected Galdongzan the most, but at this moment, she just wanted to eat his flesh and gnaw his bones.

Although now her father was only captured by Gal Dongzan and did not die.

But both she and Chen Qingsi knew that unless Gal Dongzan died of illness immediately, there would be no chance of survival without Lu Shi Zanli.

"Can you tell me what news there is about Tibet?" Chimalo said with difficulty with his eyes closed, as if he had exhausted his last bit of energy with these words.

Chen Qingsi would never refuse. Without Lu Shikebude's betrayal, Gal Dongzan's lightning-fast sanctions, and Dayan Mangbozhi's confession, which narrowly escaped death, there was a completely reasonable chain of evidence. .

Chi Maluo also understood why Chen Qingsi praised the good method.

Galdongzan had the power to turn a deer into a horse in Tubo. Now he has turned against the guest and provided a reasonable chain of evidence. Who dares to check the authenticity?

Even Zampu probably believed that his father made this move for his sake and it just failed.

"It's really a good idea!"

Chimalo smiled sadly.

Chen Qingsi shook his head and said: "You should rest in peace and recuperate first. As for whether you want to be conscious or not, that is up to you. Our people will not interfere anymore. If something happens, people can also find me..."

He said that he did not stay at the Imperial Medical Office and left directly.

Returning to the Ministry of War, Chen Qingsi wrote a final analysis on Chimaluo and Tubo, which was ready to be handed over to Li Zhi by Pei Yan.

Although this incident did not achieve the expected goal, it still kept Tubo honest for several years.

**********

Yongzhou government office.

Zhang Daan is handling government affairs.

He, the Sima of Yongzhou Prefecture, is mainly responsible for public security issues in the capital, and his subordinates are in charge of the Wuhou and bad people in the entire Chang'an.

Chang'an now has a population of nearly one million, and there are countless disputes that occur every day.

It can be said to be the busiest place in Chang'an, so this location is particularly important.

Zhang Da'an is a talented official and got started very quickly, especially with the help of Zhao Chiman in the early stage. Now he can handle various affairs with ease.

"Zhang Sima, Zhang Sima!"

Suddenly, rapid footsteps sounded, and a person broke into his office.

Before he could see the person clearly, the other person had already knelt on the ground with a "pop".

Only then did Zhang Daan clearly see the person coming, Yin Ming, the bad commander of Chang'an County.

The guards of the Yongzhou government office hurriedly entered, hoping to capture the person who broke into the government office without permission.

Zhang Daan waved his hand and exited the guard screen.

As a bad handsome man, Yin Ming takes both sides in Chang'an and has strong connections in the market...

Many times, Yongzhou Mansion's problems cannot be solved, but Yin Ming takes action. Although the methods are somewhat inferior, the results are excellent, and he can often get twice the result with half the effort.

On the second day after Zhang Daan took office, he got to know Zhao Chiman under the introduction of him.

"Bad handsome man, please get up quickly. What's going on?"

Zhang Daan looked surprised. He had heard Zhao Chiman introduce Yin Ming and knew that he was a righteous and reckless man who accepted death. It was because he was too straightforward that he could not see the old soldier bullying others in the military camp. He had a quarrel with him and broke one of his legs. After getting into a lawsuit and being stained, he became a bad person and became a bad handsome man.

Yin Ming hates bureaucracy extremely, acts without rules and uses extreme methods.

Such a person actually knelt down in front of him when he met him, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"Sima, please save Lieutenant Zhao, I will kowtow to you."

Zhang Daan smiled bitterly and helped Yin Ming up. He felt a little guilty and said, "Zhao County Lieutenant is a great talent. Why don't I want to save him? But now that the government is in turmoil, I really can't save him."

He looked at the decadent Yin Ming and said, "Don't worry, bad commander. No matter where Zhao County Lieutenant is demoted or punished, I will still intercede with his superiors for my father Tan Guogong's face. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely ask him." Recommended by the imperial court, his pearls will not be covered in dust."

Yin Ming laughed miserably and said: "What a derogatory punishment, where did it come from? Sima still doesn't know, damn Dali Temple, they are going to kill County Lieutenant Zhao and forcibly accuse him of treason. This is I want Lieutenant Zhao’s life..."

Zhang Daan looked stunned, shook his head in disbelief and said: "Impossible, this is impossible. No matter what County Lieutenant Zhao says, he will not be punished with death... Where did you get the news?"

Yin Ming pursed his lips and said, "I have a good friend who works as a prison guard in Dali Temple. He got the information from him. When he interrogated County Lieutenant Zhao, all he asked was what he, Changsun Quan and Han Yuan were planning. You don’t know that in the current situation of Lieutenant Zhao, there is no need for him to be tried. The purpose of bringing him to trial is not to get a result, but to make him suffer more. This must be someone It was a special arrangement, otherwise it wouldn’t be like this. They really want Lieutenant Zhao’s life..."

Zhang Daan still couldn't believe it, shook his head and said: "Could it be a mistake? It's really not like that."

Yin Ming looked at Zhang Da'an who still didn't believe it, with a stern look in his eyes, and said: "Sima, I can't tell you who told me. I will use my life to prove that every word and every word is true. !”

As he spoke, he took out the dagger from his waist and stabbed himself in the heart.

Zhang Daan reacted very quickly. He had been working as a civil servant for many years, but he was a general, so he learned martial arts and punched Yin Ming on the wrist.

Yin Ming deflected his wrist and moved the dagger from his heart to his left shoulder, piercing it deeply.

Zhang Daan cursed secretly: "Madman!"

If he hadn't taken action, the other party would have been splattered with blood.

"Okay, I know, I trust you."

Zhang Daan said with a sullen face: "Don't worry too much. Even if you want to kill, you have to go through a process and set a time. It's not that there is no chance of recovery..."
