Security Bureau Headquarters.
Zhang Xun handed the photo sticker he found to Xue Xia, then shook his head and reported: "The name on the photo sticker is Niu Jiu, from Ningxia, Shaanxi Province. Apart from that, there is no identity mark, and he only has one thing he carries with him. A dagger and three taels of treasure money."
Xue Xia ordered people to wake up Niu Jiu, looked at the struggling Niu Jiu and asked: "Who are you? Who sent you to assassinate King Anle?"
Niu Jiu cursed loudly: "I can't stand the barbarians. I'll kill them when I meet them. What's wrong with that? You guys are all freshly dressed, but you don't even dare to kill a barbarian. What kind of heroes are you?" Being a lackey in the capital is better than going to the border to kill the enemy!"
Xue Xia looked at Niu Jiu coldly and shook his head: "You don't need to use your voice to disguise yourself. You have exposed a lot of problems. I can be sure that there must be someone behind you who is instigating you. It can even be said that before you do it, At that time, that person was looking at you, but instead of taking action, he chose to abandon you!"
Niu Jiu shouted: "What are you instructing or not? I don't know what you are talking about. I just want to kill all the Hulu!"
Xue Xia picked up the red-hot soldering iron, moved it little by little towards Niu Jiu's face, moved slightly away, and suddenly pressed down on Niu Jiu's left ear!
Bah!
The hair was directly burned off, the flesh was cooked, and the ears were almost sunk into the flesh. Niu Jiu shivered in pain, his whole body shook continuously, and the iron chain made a loud banging sound.
Zhang Xun couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw this scene, for fear that the chains would be broken.
The torture is over.
Xue Xia picked up the black soldering iron and said to the trembling Niu Jiu: "You used your words to guide me, trying to prove that you are a paranoid madman who hates Hulu, but how can such a paranoid person like you possibly... Planning such a thorough assassination?"
"On the street where you committed the assassination, there were at least thirty Hu merchants and Hu people on the road you walked. But why did you not take action? Instead, you only chose a bald polo because he was your only target. You I chose the bald polo from the very beginning!"
Xue Xia picked up the crushed bamboo stick, knocked Niu Jiu on the head, and said bitterly: "To be able to crush old bamboo with bare hands, it takes more than a stone? If you don't have a certain foundation in kung fu, how can you catch it?" , what to crush? Niu Jiu, who is behind you? You are not an ordinary person, definitely not. Tell me, who is behind you? "
Niu Jiu sneered: "I am born with divine power, can't I?"
Xue Xia saw the provocation in Niu Jiu's eyes, turned around and shouted: "Let Hu Dun come, I want him to speak!"
Zhang Xun understood and arranged for someone to greet him.
Hu Dun came, bringing a bunch of tools, and then there was a burst of extremely sad screams. As time passed, the screams became weaker and weaker...
Xue Xia looked at Niu Jiu, who was still mute after being tortured and almost turned into a human being, and couldn't help but cursed secretly: "Another tough guy!"
Liu Changge came over. After hearing these words, he couldn't help but trembled. The Security Bureau didn't encounter many hard-core people, but some people broke their bones without saying a word. He stopped Hu Dun. He asked Niu Jiu sternly: "Did Gujin ask you to assassinate Tupolo?"
Niu Jiu's originally calm eyes finally changed, revealing a kind of fear, uneasiness, nervousness and avoidance.
Seeing this, Xue Xia couldn't help but feel nervous.
Liu Changge took a step back, looked at Xue Xia, and said solemnly: "Things may be more difficult than we thought. An old rival is here."
Xue Xia said solemnly: "We have dealt with the young master, and the Yin soldiers have also been dealt with, but he still has strength? He has not done anything for several years, why does he appear now?"
Liu Changge is even heavier than Xue Xia.
From ancient times to the present, this shadow that has been hidden in the capital for many years originally thought that with the fall of the young master, the yin soldiers were wiped out, and the leader of the White Lotus Sect was killed, the matter was over.
But now it seems that Gu Jin is not willing to fail. He seems to have other plans and other powers!
"We must first confirm whether it is sent by ancient and modern people!"
Liu Changge also knew that the matter was serious and did not dare to speculate on it.
Hu Dun tortured him again until it got dark, and finally destroyed Niu Jiu's will.
Liu Changge hurriedly sent the interrogation report to Wuying Palace.
Zhu Yunwen reviewed the memorial for a day and didn't want to read it anymore. He rubbed his sore eyes and said, "Just say it."
Liu Changge said cautiously: "Your Majesty, according to Niu Jiu's explanation, he was sent by Gu Jin with the intention of causing a war between the Ming Dynasty and Oara, prolonging the Northwest War, and consuming our people's strength, public support and military morale."
"Ancient and modern?"
Zhu Yunwen was a little surprised. This name, which had disappeared for several years, appeared again.
Liu Changge nodded heavily: "That's true."
Zhu Yunwen stood up and walked out from behind the desk. He rubbed his wrist and said, "Who it is in ancient and modern times has always been an unsolved mystery. I thought that after killing the Yin soldiers and the White Lotus Sect and accepting Li Qi, he should also stop. . It seems that this person is determined to do something and wants to do something. In this case, we will pursue him this time, find him, and catch him!"
Although Liu Changge agreed, he was a little unsure in his heart.
The forces of ancient and modern times are like the shadow of a person, still a shadow hidden in the dark. It will not be easy to discover his flaws and trace his traces.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Liu Changge who was leaving, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Ancient and modern!
No matter who you are, you will die this time!
No matter who did it, the assassination of the Oara envoy happened after all. The envoys from Korea, Champa, Siam, Bali, and Ryukyu all heard the news, and even the people in the capital couldn't help but talk about it. One after another.
North Korean envoys Liu Tingxian and Li Guiling did not think that Zhu Yunwen sent someone to assassinate Wala's Tuboluo. Zhu Yunwen had no need at all. Besides, if he wanted to do this, Tuboluo's head would have been long ago. Gone.
But killing Tupolo will not do any good to the Ming Dynasty. After all, Tupolo came as an envoy. If he dies, Ming will lose face. Not only that, it will also cause border wars. No matter how timid Wala is, he will definitely avenge Tupolo, and endless small-scale invasions may occur...
Needless to say, there is a force in the Ming Dynasty, a force that opposes Emperor Jianwen, and they are leading the situation to an uncontrollable side.
The Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the assassination of Batu Polo. Not only did cabinet ministers visit him, but also imperial doctors provided treatment. Liu Changge took Zhu Yunwen's autographed letter and handed it to Batu Polo.
Tu Polo saw Zhu Yunwen's explanation. Although there was no apology inside and outside the words, the emperor personally explained it, which was a low profile in itself. In order to seek greater interests, Tu Polo proposed a compensation plan to Zhu Yunwen: "Signing the Hundred Years' Monarchy Covenant without Arms to ensure that Oara will not be threatened by the Ming Dynasty. Oara will also restrain the tribes and promise not to go south to invade any Ming territory such as the Western Regions and Northwest China."
Zhu Yunwen was a little dumbfounded. This Bald Polo was a talented person. He knew that if he took advantage of the opportunity to mount his horse, he would have to pay compensation if he was injured. And this kind of reasonable "compensation", Daming really couldn't refuse.
December 23rd.
Zhu Yunwen held a banquet in Nuange, entertaining Tuboluo, Yehuzhi, Liye and others. He was accompanied by Xie Jin, Yu Xin and Yang Shiqi of the cabinet, Tie Xuan, the Minister of War, and Mei Yin, the governor of the Fifth Army.
"I am very uneasy because of King Anle's assassination. I am hosting a banquet today, but I have to feel free to entertain him. I don't know how injured King Anle is. Maybe he drank?"
Zhu Yunwen said calmly.
Looking at Zhu Yunwen, this young emperor who was less than thirty actually controlled the entire Ming Dynasty. Under his innovation and governance, the Ming Dynasty became more powerful than during the Hongwu period!
Not to be underestimated!
Tupolo said humbly: "It's not a big deal if you ask the emperor. Daming doctors are better than all the doctors I have met. Not only can they easily suture wounds, but they can also come up with very useful gauze. I didn’t even feel much pain during the whole process. If Heaven has mercy on me, can you send some medical gauze to Wala..."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said to Tuboluo who was asking for something: "To be honest with King Anle, this medical gauze is a strategic item in our army and cannot be given easily. But King Anle was injured in the capital. If I refuse, It's somewhat unkind, so if that's the case, the Ministry of War will allocate a hundred boxes to King Anle at its discretion."
Ye Zhi suddenly became unhappy: "Emperor Ming Dynasty, are three hundred boxes too few?"
Tie Xuan said with a gloomy face: "One hundred boxes is enough for a thousand people, isn't it too little? Many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty did not have enough for this. It is the emperor's request to make a hundred boxes."
When Tupolo heard that it was enough for a thousand people, he immediately laughed: "Thank you very much, Emperor. I have read the interrogation documents. Someone used the opportunity to assassinate me to trigger the war between Oara and the Ming Dynasty. In this case, we must not let this succeed. . On behalf of the two leaders Mahamu and Taiping, I am here as an envoy. Firstly, I want to congratulate the Ming Dynasty on the New Year, and secondly, I want to sign a peace treaty with the Ming Dynasty."
"Will Wala abide by the covenant?"
Mei Yin asked coldly.
Pa Tupolo replied seriously: "Yes."
Mei Yin shook his head: "We have heard some things between Oara and Tatar, and we are also aware of the distrust between you. Today you signed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, and tomorrow you turned around and tore it into pieces, launching another attack on the Ming Dynasty. , so what?"
Yang Shiqi, Tie Xuan and others nodded. Although the words don't sound good, this is what happened.
Is Wala trustworthy?
Think about Mahamu. He was first loyal to Mai Libala, and then to Hashiha. Now he is only loyal to himself. Loyalty and faith do not seem to exist on the grassland, at least not to Mahamu.
It doesn't matter if the covenant is signed, Mahamu will tear it into pieces when he wants to, but as for Daming, there are more constraints, and it is inconvenient to solve the problem of Wala.
Tupolo said solemnly: "In the past, we were just for the survival of our respective tribes, relying on others and unable to make the decision. But now, the three of us control Oara. What we say is naturally the highest order of Oara. As long as the Ming Dynasty is willing to sign peace with Oara Nawala will definitely abide by the covenant to the end and will not violate it."
