Wanhu Zhao Zhen looked at the domineering Xue Xia and felt an inexplicable chill coming from his feet.
The wind became sharp and cut people's faces.
Qianhu Zhang Ying never expected that the people from the Ming Security Bureau would still be so tough even though North Korean soldiers were here. Aren't these people afraid of death?
"ah--"
A burst of shrill screams came from the Shibo Division Office. Zhao Zhen's eyes were gloomy and he gritted his teeth and said, "Last warning, get out of the way!"
Xue Xia looked at Zhao Zhen coldly, like an imposing mountain.
Wow!
There was a sound of footsteps, and Gao Zhen led the sergeants out of the Ship Department. Each naval officer was either carrying a loaded hand crossbow or a blunderbuss.
On the wall of the Shibo Division, heads were exposed, and firecrackers were pointed at the Korean army.
Gao Zhen held a shield in his left hand and a waist knife in his right hand. He stepped forward and said to Zhao Zhen, Zhang Ying and others: "The Korean Shipping Department provided trade certificates to the Japanese Japanese and is suspected of assisting the Japanese pirates in humiliating the Ming Dynasty! Today the Security Bureau is here with an order. Investigate the case, let alone you people here, even if Li Fangyuan comes in person, Ming will not give in! If you want to take action, think clearly about the consequences!"
Zhao Zhen was horrified. After hearing these words, he immediately looked at Zhang Ying: "Is this serious?"
Zhang Ying was a little panicked. People from the Ming Dynasty came here for this kind of thing. Didn't Li Yifu say that it was a trivial matter and there was no danger?
Damn it, isn’t this setting people up for death?
Zhao Zhen looked at Zhang Ying who was hesitating, and realized that it was the secret operation of the North Korean Shipping Department that angered Daming. In anger, he raised his hand and slapped Zhang Ying, waved to the sergeant behind him to put down his guard, and stepped forward two Bu: "Whether this is true or not, this is the Shipping Department of Nanpu City, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Korea. Please leave the Celestial Security Bureau. We will make a final report to the king, conduct a thorough investigation, and give an explanation to the Ming Dynasty."
Xue Xia stared, and the guy in front of him was not a rude and reckless man. It seemed that there were still some officials and generals in North Korea, but why did such a talent fall into the position of guarding the Ship Bureau?
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Xue Xia raised his hand, and the Ming sergeant put away his musket and crossbow arrows and stood where he was.
"You are a smart man and should know the consequences of this matter. If these Japanese assassinate the emperor in the Ming Dynasty, the whole of North Korea will not be able to withstand the anger of the Ming Dynasty! I advise you to take people away and not to affect the Security Bureau's investigation of the case."
Xue Xia put a straight face and sheathed the knife.
Zhao Zhen was a little embarrassed and whispered: "Li Yifu is Li Congmao's nephew, so we don't dare to get hurt."
Li Congmao?
Xue Xia knew this person, a figure in the Korean martial arts. Before the Ming Navy attacked Tsushima and Iki Islands, this person was responsible for providing intelligence information.
He is an old acquaintance of the navy.
Xue Xia didn't give Li Congmao face. Not to mention that Li Yifu was his nephew, he was his biological son. He did this, so don't think about being kind!
Gu Yun hurriedly walked out and whispered to Xue Xia: "Here we go."
Xue Xia nodded slightly and looked at Zhao Zhen, who looked ugly: "Do you have the guts to go in and listen?"
Zhao Zhen saw that the Ming navy was powerful and well-equipped, and it also brought firearms such as firecrackers. He was expected to be unable to defeat him. However, Li Yifu couldn't die, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "This is the North Korean Shipping Department. What's wrong with it?" Dare to go!"
Xue Xia chuckled, turned around and stepped into Shibo Division, followed by Zhao Zhen, Gu Yun and others.
In a short period of time, Jiang Nan was tortured to a state of disgrace, her hands were twisted unnaturally, and even her toes were covered with bamboo sticks.
Zhao Zhen was a little angry when he saw this scene. After all, this was an official in the North Korean government office, or a deputy promotion. The Ming Dynasty directly executed him. Isn't this a slap in the face of North Korea? .z.br>
"Say it!"
Xue Xia looked at Jiang Nan and said coldly.
When Jiang Nan saw Gu Yun, she started to tremble and explained everything without even thinking: "It's a merchant's certificate issued by Li Yifu, and it was secretly sent to the merchant ship by Zhang Ying and I. I only accepted three of them, A Zu and others." Ten taels of silver."
Xue Xia looked at Zhao Zhen: "Did you hear clearly?"
Zhao Zhenku
With a straight face, speechless.
Hu Dun came over and said to Xue Xia, "There is a situation."
Xue Xia led people into the room.
Zhao Zhen saw Li Yifu. At this time, he had a frightened look on his face, huddled in the corner and shivering. His hands and feet were still there, his clothes were not torn, and his face was not scratched. It did not look like he had been tortured.
Hu Dun looked at Li Yifu and shouted: "Tell me, who asked you to issue business certificates to Azu, Feifu and others and send them to the Ming Dynasty?"
Li Yifu seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying. He held his head in his hands and said sternly: "It's none of my business. I'm just doing things under the king's order. I'm just doing things under orders. It's none of my business. Don't come over." do not come!"
Zhao Zhen's expression changed!
Xue Xia and Gu Yun's eyes instantly surged with murderous intent!
Li Fangyuan? !
King of Korea!
This is the man behind the scenes!
Xue Xia never expected this result. He originally thought that the Korean Shipping Company was bribed by the Japanese to make some extra money and turned a blind eye. Who would have thought that the water behind this was actually released by the Korean King Li Fangyuan?
Zhao Zhen couldn't believe his ears. King Li Fangyuan was an enlightened king and a wise king. How could he do such an outrageous and sinister thing?
Also, what happened to Li Yi? Why did he look like this when he had no scars? He seemed to be frightened by something.
If it was really Li Fangyuan who asked him to do it, this would be his biggest secret, but he couldn't even keep this secret!
Xue Xia looked at Gu Yun: "Take the people with you and let's go home!"
"You can't take them away!"
Zhao Zhen stopped him, struggled for a moment, and said to Xue Xia, "Please take a step to speak."
Xue Xia followed Zhao Zhen to a remote place.
Zhao Zhen said with some pain: "Let this matter stop at Li Yifu. If the king is involved, the impact will be too great. If you are not careful, countless lives will be ruined. General, please have mercy on the people and show your noble hand."
Facing Zhao Zhen's request, Xue Xia shook his head and said firmly: "I am a member of the Security Bureau and a member of the emperor. I will naturally report whatever information I have. If you really care about the North Korean people, you should go and loosen the Jing asked your great king why he risked the disapproval of the world and did such a sinister thing!"
Zhao Zhen was bitter and wanted to persuade Xue Xia, but he knew that his words were pale and had to watch Xue Xia leave.
Powerless to stop it.
North Korea's Nampo City Shipping Chief promoted Li Yifu, deputy deputy promoted Jiang Nan, and Navy Qianhu Zhang Ying were directly arrested by Navy officers and brought to the dock as if there was no one around.
Zhao Zhen watched these people get on the ship with his own eyes, saw the Ming warship put away its divine machine cannon, and heard the roar of the steam engine. Then with the black smoke billowing, the three Ming ships left the port.
Big trouble.
The unknowing deputy director Zhao Kun escaped because he was not Li Yifu's confidant. Looking at Li Yifu and others who were captured, although Zhao Kun was worried, he was also a little happy.
The two above are gone, and I am promoted by this Shibo Company...
Zhao Zhen said to Zhao Kun with a straight face: "You come and write a document and report it to the king."
"I……"
Zhao Kun's good mood suddenly disappeared.
The Shipping Department was crippled by the Ming Dynasty and was completely embarrassed. Li Fangyuan's secret was exposed again. After he saw the document, he was furious and kicked everyone who knew these scandals away, at least for this life. I don’t want to see anyone related to this matter again…
Zhao Zhen turned around and left. He had to write a document when he got back. After all, the gatekeeper didn't take good care of it, and he almost got into a fight with the Ming Dynasty Navy. He had to tell Li Fangyuan the whole story so that he could make up his mind early and deal with the upcoming anger of the Ming Dynasty.
Nanpu is not far from Songjing, a hundred and fifty miles away, and it only takes a quick horse a day.
Li Fangyuan was lucky. At least he had a good night's sleep. It was not until the next day that he saw the report from Nanpu City Shipping Division Zhao Kun and Guard General Zhao Zhen. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he immediately stopped the court meeting and summoned He Lun, Kang Ze, and others. Li Mao and others discussed
Countermeasures.
He Lun didn't know about it earlier. After learning about the situation, he scolded Li Fangyuan eighteen times in his heart. He didn't know how the wise king in the past could be so confused. He clearly knew that Ming had enmity with Japan, and clearly knew that he should forward a letter to Japan. He was angry at Zhu Yunwen, but now you actually send him away directly!
Just give them away. You should give away a few at least. Suddenly, over 40 people can form a small commando team. What if this group of Japanese people suddenly turn into Japanese pirates and cause trouble in Jinling?
Li Fangyuan was also depressed. Ashikaga Yoshimochi's letter was not well written. It sent money and promised to send it to Tsushima and Iki Islands. He also wanted to expand his territory.
Kangze almost vomited blood, how dare you covet Tsushima and Iki Islands?
That is the place where the Ming Dynasty Navy defeated it, and it was also the place where the Sun and Moon Flag was planted. In the Ming Dynasty Navy battle map, Tsushima Island and Iki Island are both marked as Ming Dynasty territory. My king, how dare you think of it? here?
Li Fangyuan sighed, with a sad look on his face: "You should tell us how to deal with it. We must send envoys to the Ming Dynasty early to explain the situation and apologize, otherwise..."
He Lun knew that now was not the time for Li Fangyuan to reflect on himself. He must find a way to deal with the coming trouble.
The Security Bureau of the Ming Dynasty took away Li Yifu and others. Emperor Zhu Yunwen will definitely know about the stupid things Li Fangyuan did. If this matter cannot be settled, Zhu Yunwen may use this as an excuse to completely kick North Korea out of the vassal state sequence. By then, the Ming Dynasty will There are ten thousand reasons to hit Songjing!
"I think this matter needs to be dealt with quickly. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for us." He Lun thought carefully, and then said to Li Fangyuan, who was helpless, "I should write a letter of credence to apologize..."
Li Fangyuan's face looked a little ugly, but he still nodded.
It is not shameful for a vassal state to plead guilty to the suzerain state.
Kang Ze said nervously: "Just writing a letter of credence to plead guilty may not be enough to eliminate the anger of the Ming Dynasty. For now, the best way is to send the prince to the Ming Dynasty. The first is to explain the situation, and the second is to make a pledge to protect him. Korea is not subject to conquest..."
Li Fangyuan was stunned. He just sent a few Japanese people to the Ming Dynasty. Why did his own son become a hostage?
