"There is news about father. The secret guards of Hejian Mansion have sent news about the missing Tiqi."
In the Fusi Yamen of Beizhen, where the commander worked, Luo Yangxing walked in quickly from outside.
Luo Sigong frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "This is Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town. There are only Jinyiwei commanders and Jinyiwei officials here."
"Yes, I have seen the commander." Luo Yangxing took a step back and bowed respectfully.
Luo Sigong put down the official document in his hand and said, "Tell me now, where are the imperial guards sent to Datong to investigate the case?"
"In Hejian Mansion, they are all dead. No one is left. They are all killed in Hejian Mansion." As he said that, Luo Yangxing took out an official document and handed it over.
Luo Sigong took it, glanced at it, put it down, frowned and said, "When did the bandits become so bold that they dared to kill even Jin Yiwei? Have you checked it out?"
"The news came back from Hejian Mansion. The secret guards there found out that this is the situation." Luo Yangxing said.
"What do you think about this matter?" Luo Sigong asked Luo Yangxing in front of him.
Luo Yangxing frowned and thought for a while, then said, "My subordinates think this matter should be true. There is no need for the secret guards of Hejian Mansion to fool us with false news."
Luo Sigong frowned and said, "Have you never thought that the people sent by the Tiger Character Banner pretended to be bandits and killed them? Don't forget, those Jinyi guards who died were going to investigate the banditry of the Tiger Character Banner. They died as soon as they came back." On the way."
"This is impossible." Luo Yangxing said, "The official document sent by the secret guards of Hejian Prefecture said that those who killed those Tiqi were bandits who had been entrenched in Hejian Prefecture for many years. They often robbed people in Hejian Prefecture, and the local people were We know these bandits, so it’s impossible for someone from the Tiger Character Banner to pretend to be them.”
Luo Sigong tapped his fingers on the official document sent by the secret guard of Hejian Mansion, and after a long time he said, "Have all the bandits who killed Jin Yiwei been caught?"
"They're all dead too."
"How did you die?" Luo Sigong was shocked.
Luo Yangxing said, "These bandits robbed a convoy passing by at the foot of the mountain. The guards of the convoy came to the stronghold and killed all the bandits. A local man named Xu knew the whole story, and the secret guards went to investigate secretly. Yes, the news is true."
"This is too coincidental." Luo Sigong pinched the beard on his chin.
Luo Yangxing said, "Those bandits are lucky. If they fall into the hands of our Jin Yiwei, they will have to taste the torture tools of Beizhen Fusi."
"I always feel that something is wrong." Luo Sigong said, "These bandits killed the Jin Yiwei we sent to Lingqiu to investigate the case, and then asked others to kill them. It's too similar to the tactic of killing people and silencing them."
"No way," Luo Yangxing said hesitantly, "The secret guards of Hejian Mansion have already verified it. It's just a coincidence, and there is also an official from Hejian Mansion who testified about it."
Luo Sigong asked, "What's going on with that person?"
"The young lady from Ju Ren's family was robbed by bandits and taken to the mountain stronghold. She happened to be rescued by the escort of the motorcade." Luo Yangxing explained.
"Am I overthinking it?" Luo Sigong said to himself.
He always felt that things were not that simple, everything was too coincidental, but the secret guards of Hejian Mansion did not dare to lie about this matter.
Luo Yangxing asked, "Father, do we want to continue the investigation?"
"Let's end the matter here. Don't investigate any more." Luo Sigong waved his hand.
Luo Yangxing said, "Don't the Donglin Party want evidence of banditry in Datong? We can send a few more Jinyi guards to Datong."
"News has come from the palace that before the change of Yuan Dynasty, Fang's first assistant took office, and Liu Yixuan, the bachelor of Dongge, the Minister of Rites, took over as the first assistant." Luo Sigong said, "Nowadays, the imperial court's impeachment memorials have gradually stopped, and Datong There is no need to investigate the matter. If the newly stabilized court situation is disturbed by the Datong incident, it will easily cause the Holy Emperor to be dissatisfied with Jin Yiwei."
"Child, listen to your father." Luo Yangxing nodded.
He is not as keen on changes in the political situation as his father, but as long as he listens to his father's arrangements, his biological father Zou will not harm his son.
"Have you had any dealings with Eunuch Wei, the factory supervisor in the palace?" Luo Sigong suddenly asked.
Luo Yangxing shook his head and said, "My child has been secretly making friends with the Donglin Party. Wang An is still in the palace. Even if Eunuch Wei gains power for a while, he will not dare to offend Wang An and the Donglin Party. If he makes friends with Wei Zhongxian, he will definitely It will offend Wang An and is inconsistent with the interests of our Luo family."
"Well, it's good if you understand." Luo Sigong nodded and said, "Behind Wei Zhongxian is the Hakka family. Although she is the holy wet nurse, she is still a maid after all. She will leave the palace sooner or later. When Wei Zhongxian no longer has the Hakka family to rely on, where will he be? He will still be Wang An’s opponent.”
Luo Yangxing said, "The people below discovered that Wei Zhongxian always goes in and out of a shop in the inner city several times every month. Coincidentally, that shop is owned by the Tiger Flag in Datong."
"Don't worry about this matter. Wei Zhongxian has Wang An who will take care of him. There is no need to investigate the Tiger Flag. The matter ends here. Okay, you can go down first." Luo Sigong picked up the tureen on the table and took a sip of tea.
"yes."
Luo Yangxing agreed and retreated.
"A ship is approaching, be on guard," someone on the shore shouted loudly, while waving to the people on the island.
Groups of soldiers with tiger flags appeared near the coast from a distance.
At the Tenth Village, Yan Siqi's men also saw the shadow of the boat on the sea. Some men in the village armed with weapons climbed onto the wall of the village and were on guard.
As the ship at sea got closer, the signs on the ship could already be seen through the monocular.
Zheng Chao put down the monocular telescope in his hand and said to Zheng Tie on the side, "It's not the ship of the Folangji people, it's the ship of our Tiger Flag, with the command flag of our Tiger Flag flying on it."
Ever since they arrived at Benbei Port, they would see Fo Langji's ship appearing near Benbei Port every few days.
There is a castle built by the Fo Langji people on the other side of Da Yuan Island. Every time a ship of the Fo Lang Ji people comes to Da Yuan Island, they often deliberately make a circle from Bengang, and sometimes they even head towards Bengang. After firing a few shots and humiliating the Han people in Bengang, they sailed away.
"Let me see."
Zheng Tie took the monocular telescope from Zheng Chao and put it in front of his eyes to look at the sea.
The first thing he saw was the busy figures on the boat, all dressed as Han Chinese. Then he saw a flag hanging on the mast, which was the black command flag of their tiger flag.
"Damn it, it's our tiger flag ship." Zheng Tie said with a happy face.
It has been a while since he came to Taiyuan Island, and this was the first time he saw their tiger-flag boat coming to Taiyuan Island. Looking at the boats on the sea, he felt like he was seeing his family.
Not only him, but also the other Tiger Flag people on Da Yuan Island couldn't help but be happy when they heard that their Tiger Flag ship was coming.
Hundreds of them came to the island. Although they prepared enough medicinal materials in advance and had the help of Yan Siqi, more than ten people died of illness in the end. This made many people who stayed in Benbei Port feel abandoned. a feeling of.
Now that the Tiger Flag ship has arrived, the haze in their hearts has finally disappeared, because they know that they have not been abandoned.
