Tang Ping did not speak directly, but just looked at the guard.
Su Wo Jianyi didn't think much, raised his chin to the guard, and the guard bowed and left.
"Actually, His Majesty the Future Emperor came here this time to ask Soga Castle Lord why so much of the disaster relief supplies sent by Nara to Niigata Prefecture were withheld?"
Tang Ping said the word "future" very lightly, and Su Wo Jianyi didn't pay attention to those two words.
Su Wajian's face changed drastically after hearing this: "Who are you?"
He immediately reacted: "Impossible, how could Nara City get the news so quickly?"
The next step is to call the guards outside.
There were still two guards standing beside him, but Lao Cui and Lao Du rushed up and punched him in the face. He fainted before even pulling out the knife.
"City Lord Su Wo, don't you calm down?" Tang Ping asked with a smile when he saw Lao Cui put a long knife on Su Wo Jianyi's neck.
"You..." As soon as Su Wajian opened his mouth, he felt a slight pain in his neck.
Lao Cui clasped his ear with one hand: "Sir, you'd better keep your voice down, otherwise my hands will shake in fear, and I don't know what will happen."
Lao Cui's fierce look and these words made Su Wo Jianyi misunderstood.
"Everyone...which hilltop are you from? How come I have never seen you before? It turns out that we are guests. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. As long as we, Su and Jianyi can do it, we will definitely do it for you."
This is to regard Tang Ping and the others as bandits robbing homes and houses.
"Hey, City Lord Su said this, so we can discuss it easily." Tang Ping said with a smile that it was easy to discuss, but he didn't ask Lao Cui to remove the long knife from his neck, and just found a stool to sit on. Down.
Then he asked with a smile: "Actually, our main business is not robbery, our main business is mining. I wonder if the Lord of the City has any mines in Niigata County that you can recommend?"
When Su Wojian heard Tang Ping talk about mining, his face changed slightly, and then he said calmly: "Sir, who doesn't know that our Niigata County is poor, and the tax revenue depends on the people under the rule growing some food, but I’ve never heard that there are minerals in Niigata Prefecture.”
"Really not?"
"Really not!" Su Wo Jianyi said firmly: "I don't know where this gentleman heard it from, I'm afraid the information is wrong."
"Okay, forget it if there are no mines." Tang Ping nodded: "But just now, the Lord Suga said that Niigata County's tax revenue depends on the people under his control to grow food, so why should they withhold disaster relief materials?"
Tang Ping didn't say what he wanted, and just chatted with Su Wajian.
Almost half an hour passed before Tang Ping said with a smile: "City Lord Su Wo is waiting for someone to rescue you, right?"
Seeing that Suga Jianyi had been cooperating with him to buy time, Tang Ping didn't know how he let people know that he was in danger, but there was probably some way.
"This adult is joking. I have this in your hands. I was just thinking about giving you some gifts. I never thought about anything else."
"I really want something." Tang Ping said with a smile: "You should give up your position as city lord."
Su Wajian said with a dark look on his face: "Sir, stop joking. Even if I dare to give in, there must be someone who dares to take it up."
"Haha." Tang Ping looked outside: "So you are the city guards waiting for you, but they still have two or three miles to arrive, and the new city lord I am waiting for has already arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Bai came in with a middle-aged man from outside.
"Nakatomi Yingzheng, you..." Seeing the middle-aged man, Su Wo Jianyi's expression changed again.
"Could it be that you are planning to rebel with these bandits?"
"I am not the one who wants to rebel." Nakatomi Yingzheng came to Shanbei's eldest brother, holding a royal emblem: "I have met Prince Shanbei."
"You...are you Prince Shanbei?" Suwa Jianyi looked at Shanbei's eldest brother who had been sitting next to him and read a book, and said with some horror: "You are not...not..."
"He didn't die in an assassination in Nara Castle, right?" Tang Ping took over and said: "Now to tell you the truth, Prince Yamabeko was assassinated because he discovered some conspiracy in Nara Castle, and he and Your Majesty took advantage of his plan and faked his death and left Nara Castle."
After speaking, he said to Nakatomi Hidemasa: "Please keep the identity of Prince Yamabei secret for the time being."
Nakatomi Yingzheng replied: "This is natural."
Yamabei was dumbfounded as he took over the royal badge from Suga Jianyi. How could he be the one who faked his death out of the city by using Emperor Shuming's plan?
"The City Guards are about to arrive. I wonder if Lord Nakatomi Yingzheng can handle it?" Tang Ping asked again.
"Don't worry, sir. Since the evidence of Su Wo Jianyi is conclusive, I can naturally recover the city guards."
Then some of the generals from the Zhongchen family who followed him came up to Su Wojian and took him out.
Only then did Shanbei's eldest brother Wang have the opportunity to ask Tang Ping what was going on.
"It's very simple. When we came in just now, Luyi took your badge to find Mr. Nakatomi and told him that you were the imperial envoy who came secretly to investigate thoroughly the Soga clan's use of the name of disaster relief this time. A matter of corruption and perversion of law.”
"Then tell Lord Nakatomi that after taking down Soga Kenichi, he will take over the position of city lord. Then take him home, and take the Nakatomi family's generals to capture the city lord's palace by surprise."
"As for now, he should be announcing the evidence of Soga Kenichi's crime, and then using the disaster relief materials to win over the hearts and minds of the people in Niigata County."
"The people's will, coupled with the irrefutable evidence that Soga Kenichi committed the crime, and Nakatomi Hidemasa's acceptance of the Nara government, the castle guards can only temporarily obey his orders as long as they do not want to rebel."
"Where did he get the acceptance of the emperor's government?" Yamabei's eldest brother asked strangely.
"I forged it!" Tang Ping said matter-of-factly: "Yesterday, I happened to see the letter of appointment from the Emperor appointing Suga to build a castle to defend Niigata County. I asked someone to forge a copy last night."
"Forged...?" Brother Shanbei was a little stunned. Is this still possible?
"I want to add another clause to our covenant!" After a while, the eldest brother Shanbei finally came back to his senses and said.
"What to add?" Tang Ping has now gradually figured out that this mountain-backed brother is actually not stupid, but his brain circuit is different from most people.
"You are not allowed to forge my documents in the future!" Shanbei's eldest brother Wang looked around Tang Ping and the people next to him, feeling that they seemed unreliable, and finally said: "You can guarantee it with Xiaoluo's cooking skills!"
Tang Ping couldn't laugh or cry: "Yes, yes, I use Xiaoluo's cooking skills to promise that I will not forge your documents in the future."
Then he asked again: "We have been companions along the way, right? Am I so devoid of integrity in your eyes?"
"What do you think of someone who can forge a royal commission?"
"Hey, the Tang Ping in the book has lived in the Tang Dynasty for many years. The young man who only knew how to eat and wait for death is now full of bad ideas."
