Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 116 Ripped Face

He Liu sat in front of Li Hu, the former general of Datong.He ordered Lao Hu to give Li Hu the torture tools.

He Liu opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Li, I have already found out that you are not responsible for the defeat of Datong. It is true that someone had an affair with the Tatars!"

Li Hu asked: "My lord, can you find out who did such a rebellious thing?"

He Liu smiled: "Such a serious crime, if there is no evidence, how dare I accuse others casually?"

Li Hu said: "Damn it! I've had bad luck for eight lifetimes too! Relying on Datong's solid city defense, it wouldn't be a problem to defend it until the arrival of reinforcements from all over the country! But there is such a group of food in Datong city, which caused me to lose it within a day." Datong has become a prisoner!"

He Liu asked: "Mr. Li, who do you think betrayed the tens of thousands of robes in Datong City?"

Li Hu thought for a while and said, "I think it's Zhao Jianzhi!"

He Liu asked, "Why?"

Li Hu didn't speak, but just looked at Lao Hu beside He Liu.

He Liu quickly said: "He is one of his own. If you have anything to say, you can tell me in front of him!"

Li Hu sighed: "Zhao Jianzhi is from King Yu's side. I am the godson of Yan Ge Lao. He has always wanted to get rid of me before he is quick! A firecracker appeared in the cart selling tea on the grassland, so I immediately It is suspected that he planted the frame!"

He Liu asked: "If Zhao Jianzhi cheated his death, where do you think he will go after 'death escape'?"

Li Hu thought for a while, and replied: "Cooperating with the enemy is a serious crime to destroy the nine clans! He must have dared not stay in the territory of Daming, he should have gone to the grassland! If I were him, I would take the reward from the Tatars, Be a free rich man on the grassland!"

He Liu asked again: "You said that you often transport tea and silk to the Tatars. Where do you transport these goods to trade with the Tatars?"

Li Hu said: "Shipping to Huerbaatuo! That place is the gathering place of Tatar merchants. The goods of other smuggling merchants are also transported there. It takes about seven or eight days to travel from Datong to Huerbaatuo."

He Liu nodded and led Lao Hu out of the cell.

As soon as he got out of the cell, Lao Hu asked He Liu: "What are you doing asking where Li Hu's smuggled goods are going? Could it be that you are going to the Tatar land to find Zhao Jianzhi who has disappeared?"

He Liu smiled and said, "You are really a roundworm in my stomach. As soon as I stick my butt, you will know what my shit smells like!"

Lao Hu hurriedly persuaded He Liu: "Lao Liu, are you crazy? Not to mention whether Zhao Jianzhi is on the territory of the Tatars or not - whether he is there or not. Even if others are there - he has made great contributions to the Tatars , I Da Khan must have sent someone to protect him! Even if you found him, how would you bring him back to Datong?"

He Liudao: "If you want to get to the bottom of the collusion case, you must find Zhao Jianzhi! I have a hunch that maybe this Governor Zhao is in a tent in Huerba Tuo right now, drinking kumiss and hugging a beautiful Tatar woman Have fun!"

Old Hu said: "He Liu! My sixth master! Our Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi is in charge of supervising civil and military officials, and the Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of foreign military affairs. In recent years, the Nanzhen Fusi has often caused troubles for the Tatars. You What will the Tatars do if they capture the Jinyiwei? Why don’t they eat them alive?”

He Liu pointed to his own face: "Does the word 'Jin Yi Wei' be written on my face?"

Old Hu questioned: "Even if you went to that bird suddenly Bator, Zhao Jianzhi was there again. But have you seen Zhao Jianzhi, or have I seen Zhao Jianzhi? Even if he stands in front of us, we can't recognize him!"

He Liu thought for a while, "You can go to Yang Shoubei from the Zuoge Third Battalion for this matter. Some of his brothers must have seen that Governor Zhao."

While He Liu and Lao Hu were talking, his subordinates reported, "Governor Wang Ting of Datong asked to see me!"

"welcome!"

Wang Tingshu found He Liu, and cupped his hands: "The superior has arrested General Zhao Kui?"

He Liu nodded: "That's right! Governor Wang received the news so soon?"

Wang Tingshu looked sanctimonious: "My lord! Zhao Kui is the only nephew of the martyred Lord Zhao Jianzhi! Why did you arrest him for no reason? If you do this, you will chill the hearts of the brothers in the frontier army!"

He Liu smiled and said, "I'm an imperial envoy, can't I arrest a general suspected of collaborating with the enemy?"

Wang Tingshu was shocked: "Collaboration with the enemy? Is there any evidence on the mission?"

He Liu smiled: "Evidence? Jinyiwei North Town Fusi arrests people, never need any evidence!"

Wang Tingshu was in a hurry: "Go on a job! Zhao Kui is a loyal queen who died for the country! You imprisoned him for an unwarranted crime, which is illegal!"

Old Hu said from the side: "Governor Wang, what is the law? Jinyiwei is the law! If you are dissatisfied, you can go to the capital to find us Commander Lu and sue us!"

Wang Ting wrote angrily: "I am on business. I want to remind you that Zhao Kui is mine. I believe you know who I am. I advise you not to offend a defeated general like Li Hu. the people behind me."

He Liu smiled and said: "Governor Wang is threatening me? I didn't want to tear my face away with you, but since you said that, then we have to open the skylight and speak out! I know that behind you is King Yu! But Lord Yu As the crown prince, he must be unaware of the nasty things done by the people below! I have already taken him! I repeat, I am an imperial envoy! I don't believe you dare to send your soldiers to take Zhao Kui away forcibly!"

Wang Tingshu said angrily, "Let's see!"

After Wang Tingshu left, Lao Hu said to He Liu: "Zhao Kui is a witness of Zhao Jianzhi's collusion with the enemy. Governor Wang is impatient when such an important witness card falls into our hands! Beware of him jumping over the wall in a hurry!"

He Liudao: "If there are hundreds of Tatar soldiers infiltrating into Datong City in an important border town and killing a few officials, one of them happens to be a hundred household of Jinyiwei—it would make sense."

Old Hu said: "You mean, Wang Tingshu will send someone pretending to be a Tatar to kill us? To kill Jin Yiwei? To kill the imperial envoy? He's not that bold, is he?"

He Liudao: "In order to frame Li Hu and bring down the Yan Party, these people can even sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of Bianzhen soldiers. What can't they do? Datong City is no longer safe!"

Old Hu said: "What do you mean, let's go out of the city?"

He Liudao: "Well, let's go to the camp of Zuoge's third battalion! That Yang Shoubei still looks like a loyal person. His battalion guard Fu Hanling has received my life-saving grace!"

"What's the reason? The imperial envoy didn't handle the case in Datong, but went to the Zuoge Third Camp to stay. There must be a reason!" Old Hu asked.

He Liu smiled and said, "It's not that simple. Just say that the imperial envoy is going to inspect the defense of Zuo Ge's third battalion. It's not too late. Let's take Li Hu and Zhao Kui out of the city now!"
