Marquis Funing picked up the tea bowl at hand and took a sip of the tea inside.
The eunuch Yang Guorui looked at him.
He was guessing that the other party's words only meant him alone, or did he represent the Lord's side.
"Hou Funing may have made a mistake. All the people who died were brought by Qing envoys. Even if officers and soldiers are sent to protect them, they should still protect the Qing envoys." The eunuch Yang Guorui said tentatively.
"Oh? Really?" Hou Ning said with a surprised look on his face, "But I heard from my subordinates that the corpses were moved out from the courtyard of the envoys of the Tiger-Character Banner. It is impossible for these people to die on their own initiative. Go to someone else’s yard and let the people in the yard kill them on purpose!”
Hearing this, the great eunuch Yang Guorui raised his eyebrows and said: "What our family heard is different. It was the envoy of the Tiger Character Banner who sent people to murder the Qing envoy. Fortunately, he was protected by the Qing envoy's men to the death. This prevented the Qing envoys from getting into trouble."
"So this is what Eunuch Yang heard!" Hou Ning clicked his tongue a few times, then said immediately, "It seems that someone is deliberately concealing the truth of the matter. This matter must be clarified, and the minister cannot be made to suffer. If word of the injustice spreads out, others will think that I, the Ming Dynasty, will only frame innocent people, causing innocent people to be wronged and suffered injustice. As a noble family who has received the emperor's favor in this world, I must not watch others ruin the reputation of the Ming Dynasty."
The great eunuch Yang Guorui looked directly at Funing Hou and said: "How can the Marquis be sure that the victim is not the Qing envoy? You must know that the people who died are all people close to the Qing envoy."
"This matter is not complicated. The envoys of the Tiger Character Banner and the envoys of the Qing Dynasty do not live together. As long as you send someone to visit the place where they live, you can easily learn the truth. If Eunuch Yang finds it too troublesome, I am willing to do it for you." Hou Ning said with a smile.
The great eunuch Yang Guorui frowned and said: "Things involving envoys are never trivial, but our family also understands the principle of not beheading envoys. At most, we can expel them and let them come and go wherever they go. It shows the broad mind of our great country. As for whoever is not convinced in the future, let them solve it individually. It has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. What do you think of our idea, Marquis Funing?"
Snapped!
Funing Hou put the tea bowl in his hand heavily on the table, and said in his mouth: "I know what you mean by Eunuch Yang, don't you just want me to remove all the officers and soldiers outside the Tiger-Character Banner envoy's yard, so that The people from Jinyiwei went to capture the envoy of Tiger Flag."
"We are going to catch the murderer." Yang Guorui, the eunuch, emphasized.
Funing Hou waved his hand and said: "Who is the murderer? I believe everyone with eyes knows it, but I don't want to distinguish between these. I just want to protect the envoy of the Tiger Flag, Eunuch Yang. Can you give me some face?"
The face of the great eunuch Yang Guorui suddenly darkened.
He thought that he had given enough face to Funing Hou, but he didn't expect that he was still so stubborn.
He immediately said: "Master Hou is trying to protect the murderer and prevent the court from apprehending the criminal!"
"You don't have to blame Eunuch Yang. I am a rough man. I said I would ensure the safety of the envoys of the Tiger-Charactered Flag, so I must do it. As long as I am alive, I will keep the envoys of the Tiger-Charactered Flag safe." Fu Fu. Ning Hou looked straight at Yang Guorui, the eunuch in front of him.
The lords in Nanjing have reached an agreement to promote peace talks between Ming Dynasty and Hu Ziqi. As one of the lords, he will naturally not betray his own camp.
"Are you determined to negotiate peace?" the eunuch Yang Guorui said with a sullen expression.
Hou Ning said: "I think there is nothing wrong with peace talks."
"Half of the Ming Dynasty fell into the hands of thieves, but you want to negotiate with the thieves. Are you worthy of the Ming Dynasty's kindness and support for you lords for hundreds of years?" Yang Guorui, the great eunuch, asked loudly.
Funing Hou said calmly: "It is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty that we decided to have peace talks with the Tiger Flag. If we do not negotiate, the remaining half of the Ming Dynasty will fall into the hands of thieves. Even if they are not tiger thieves, they will be slaves." thief."
Snapped!
The eunuch Yang Guorui picked up the tureen on the table and threw it to the ground.
The tea cup fell apart and the tea flowed all over the floor.
"The Emperor is still suffering in the capital, but you only care about your own enjoyment and don't think about how to restore the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty. What's the use of the Ming Dynasty spending a lot of money every year to feed nobles like you!" The great eunuch Yang Guorui pointed at Funing Hou through the air. .
Hearing this, Hou Ning glanced at Eunuch Yang who was opposite him with disdain, and said: "The empire of the Ming Dynasty was conquered by the ancestors of our lords who followed Taizu and Chengzu, not to mention that the current majesty is also our lord's risk. Death was brought from the capital to Nandu. What qualifications do you, a disabled person, have to accuse the lord in front of me? The people who least want anything to happen to Ming Dynasty are us lords, not you people who have lost their roots. "
"You!" The eunuch Yang Guorui was so angry that his eyesight went dark.
I was so surprised that I didn't fall from my seat to the ground.
Funing Hou stood up from his seat, looked at Eunuch Yang in front of him and said: "I know that Eunuch Yang wants to form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty, and then deal with the Tiger Flag together, but have you ever thought about what Ming Dynasty is going to do in the Northern Expedition? , what should we use to deal with the Tiger Flag? Could it be that we all hope that the Qing Dynasty will not succeed? If this is the case, it is hard to say whether half of the Ming Dynasty will return to the Ming Dynasty or fall into the hands of the Qing Dynasty. "
After saying that, Marquis Funing left without looking back.
Wow!
The furious eunuch Yang Guorui swept the porcelain bottle closest to him to the ground with his arm.
Unhappy, he smashed all the other porcelain in the room to the ground.
The little eunuch in the room didn't dare to persuade or stop him. Instead, he wished he could hide himself in a corner and not be noticed.
Unfortunately, the little eunuch's expectations did not come true.
After the great eunuch Yang Guorui took the lead, he felt a little better.
Turning to the little eunuch in the room, he yelled and cursed: "What are you doing standing there? You didn't see the mess in the room. Why don't you clean up the room quickly? Why did our family raise such a useless thing like you?" .”
After he finished cursing, he sat back in his seat.
He wanted to grab the tureen on the table and take a sip of water, but it was all empty. Then he remembered that he had thrown the tureen on the table to the ground a long time ago.
"Go and make a cup of tea for our family!" Yang Guorui, the senior eunuch, ordered the young eunuch in the room.
The little eunuch hurriedly put down the dustpan in his hand and ran out to make tea.
The eunuch Yang Guorui, who had vented his anger, felt much better now.
He stared blankly at the open door, but the words that Marquis Funing said before leaving repeatedly echoed in his mind.
The little eunuch who left quickly returned to the room with a cup of hot tea.
"Daddy, the tea is ready for you."
The little eunuch carefully placed the tea bowl on the table slowly.
