It was late at night. Inichiro who went to bed early woke up. At this time, a dim oil lamp was lit in the house. The two officers and soldiers who were in charge of guarding were already asleep on the bed. They quietly put their legs away as quietly as possible, and Inichiro curled up. Because their upper body was tied to the bed, the rope became a force-hardened point, and this action was much more stable than imagined.

The leg was placed in the head, and gently turned his head. The hairpin on his head touched the toes. He clamped the hairpin with his toes and pulled it down to his mouth. After this action, Inichiro felt his heart beating faster. But now he had not finished it. He put the hairpin on his chest, carefully lifted up his upper body, and the hairpin rolled down the slope of his chest and stopped above his lower abdomen. After his hands tied to that position by a rope finally touched the hairpin, Inichiro finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lying flat on the bed and waiting for his heartbeat to slow down, Inichiro grabbed the hairpin with both hands and twisted it. The thread in the middle was twisted away, and a small thing was taken out. Put the hairpin in the middle and slide it down the inside of the leg to the underbody. Holding the fingers of the last method to prepare for the crisis, Inichiro finally felt much more at ease.

Not long after, there was a slight noise in the house, but it was still subtle. However, the sound was too subtle, so subtle that it was not noticed by the guards. They had already tied Inichiro's hands firmly and tied the knot under the bed. According to the experience of the officers and soldiers, if there was no big noise, Inichiro would not have any idea of ​​getting out. In this quiet midnight, the two guards slept well.

Two bells rang out of the window, and the officers and soldiers woke up. They raised their heads and looked at the bed. Inichiro was lying on their arms and sleeping. The two guards continued to lie on their arms and continued to sleep. Not long after, a loud noise suddenly came from outside. After a while, a moment later, they heard the chaos in the courtyard. The guard woke up again and quickly stood up. Inichiro was still on the bed, it seemed that it was not his trouble. Then they heard footsteps and screams from the corridor. The guard was about to open the door, but the door was kicked open from outside. The wind almost extinguished the oil lamp in the house. In an almost dark environment, the person rushing in stabbed the two officers and soldiers twice. The officers and soldiers screamed and fell to the ground.

The assassin looked up at the two beds and saw that there was no one on the beds. After the break, the two officers and soldiers were completely defeated. The assassin left the house and headed for the other rooms.

Inichiro underground grinned. He took advantage of the brief fight and rolled to the ground silently. His ankle bone accidentally hit the ground was so painful. However, compared with this pain, escaping from his life is the most important thing. If he is still tied to the bed, the assassin can kill him with one knife. Judging from the speed of the final blow, the assassin is not going to leave a living mouth.

Climbing to the side of the oil lamp on the ground, Inichiro reached out to put out the oil lamp. He was in complete darkness, making him feel safe. The smell of blood in the house became heavier and heavier. Inichiro stood up and quietly touched the window, hid by the bed and put on his shoes. After tying his shoelaces, he finally breathed a light breath. With these shoes, he was no longer afraid of anyone in his pace.

The shouts of shouting and killing sounds were heard. With the screams, they were temporarily silent. I don’t know how long it took, there was a sound of footsteps in the yard, and the whole hospital became quiet. Inichiro held the wooden stick left by the officers and soldiers guarding him in his hand, and stood close to the wall. Through the wooden door of the ward, he vaguely heard some moans and hoarse and deep cry for help. In addition, the hospital seemed to be boiling for a moment.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard neat steps coming from far to near outside. Those were the footsteps of many people. Just listening to the sound reminded Inichiro of his time in the Four Kingdoms. It should be the guards of the Song Dynasty.

After making up his mind, Inichiro walked out of the ward carefully and couldn't help frowning. At this time, the corridor was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made him feel a little disgusted. He quickly rushed out of the building of the inpatient department and headed straight to the corner room where the officers and soldiers were stationed. He saw many officers and soldiers lying down outside the door. When he pushed the door in, there were many corpses inside the room. The lantern hanging on the wall was still brightly releasing the light.

When I opened the cabinet and searched, I found my own package. I searched for a few more cabinets and saw that my long and short knife was also inside. A cabinet was locked, and Inichiro waved his knife to cut off, and the wooden door was immediately split. When I opened it, Inichiro was overjoyed. His wallet was actually inside. He grabbed it and carried it in his hand. The weight was right. He thought that these soldiers had not distributed the money yet, and he was also a little surprised.

"Save me..." A faint cry for help sounded behind Jae Inichiro.

Inichiro heard the voice, it looked like Mitsui who had interrogated him during the day. When he turned his head, he saw that the man on the ground was covered in blood. I don’t know if it was Mitsui. He lowered his head and Inichiro said, “The people of the Song Dynasty are here, you can be saved if you hold on.”

After saying that, he left the house without looking back and wiped it away from the sound. As he walked there, he found that there was a wall in front of him, and this one could not stop him. He carried his backpack and climbed over the wall, and Inichiro disappeared into the darkness. Not long after, the guards of the Song Dynasty carefully entered the hospital.

Five days later, the report from the Song Dynasty Embassy was sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After reading it, Foreign Minister Lu Bofeng hurriedly asked to meet Zhao Jiaren. Although he already had the prime ministers on both sides, national defense and diplomacy were still directly led by the government. Lu Bofeng did not think that he had to contact the two prime ministers as soon as possible.

After reading the report, Zhao Jiaren asked Lu Bofeng, "What do the Ministry of Foreign Affairs think?"

"The Ishimi who was assassinated this time was an official specially established by the Kamakura Shogunate to target Ishimi Ginyama. If we say that he was killed by his enemies, we think it was a bit too coincidental. Those who attacked our hospital were very cruel, but let our personnel go. It means that their purpose was clear." After that, Lu Bofeng stared at Zhao Jiaren, trying to see something from the emperor's expression.

Zhao Jiaren smiled and said, "Minister Lu, it's useless to see that I'm not going to see the clues from this information. Tell me, what situation is most looking forward to."

"The local tyrants in Japan have begun to try to control the silver mines, and the Kamakura Shogunate has established a special agency to control the silver mines. I really hope that the two sides will start a war."

Zhao Jiaren nodded but said nothing. From the position of the Song Dynasty, the civil war in Japan is not a bad thing. In Zhao Jiaren's opinion, this assassination alone is beneficial to the Japanese nobles to buy the self-defense equipment of the Song Dynasty. The steel armor in more than a dozen kilograms is not suitable for wearing, it is equipment on the battlefield. Lightweight chain mail can be put in clothes and has good protection. If a civil war breaks out in Japan, it would be a lot of money to arm tens of thousands of samurai in Japan more effectively.

But that's all at this stage. Zhao Jiaren does not want to directly provoke or even intervene in the civil war. Japan is a civilized country at least, with a minimum IQ. If the Song Dynasty directly intervenes, it will inevitably be seen through. From the historical experience of New China, as long as you have the strength and patience, the pie in the sky will definitely fall into the pocket of New China.

Seeing that Zhao Jiaren didn't say anything, Lu Bofeng tentatively said: "Officials, do we want to investigate?"

"No. Now the Kamakura Shogunate is afraid that it is already suspicious of us, so we don't need to get involved."

"Will the Song Dynasty be afraid of Japan?" Lu Bofeng continued to test.

"It's not a temptation. It's that we have no reason to waste our own credit. If the Kamakura Shogunate wants to be an enemy of the Song Dynasty, of course we have to teach them a lesson. With our current strength, not using it is more efficient than using it. What is the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing."

"If we intervene, wouldn't we get more?" Lu Bofeng couldn't help but want to take action. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Song Dynasty is now increasingly recognizing Chen Tang. If we cannot achieve success, how can the Ministry of Foreign Affairs be favored?

"The first thing to do is to use domestic power to look at it for a long time. The losses in a short while will not be mainstream in ten years. If Japan can be monetized, the gold, silver and copper they mine will continue to flow into our North Korea. That is what we expect."

Leaving Zhao Jiaren, Lu Bofeng looked out the car window with boredom. Will Chen Tang's past, which made unparalleled achievements thousands of miles away, eventually become a legend? Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a high income and looks quite decent, this lukewarm approach is really regrettable.

Just as he was thinking, he saw the Minister of Civil Affairs' carriage passing by, looking towards Zhao Jiaren. Lu Bofeng couldn't help but wonder what happened to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and how to report it alone.

Lu Bofeng was wrong, and the left prime minister Wen Tianxiang was still sitting in the carriage of the Minister of Civil Affairs. The two went to ask for a meeting and immediately received permission. When they saw Zhao Jiaren, Wen Tianxiang said: "There is evidence for the official family and the European province's random payment of money for personal gain."

There was news from overseas for a day, and Zhao Jiaren felt that it was a bit troublesome. But he didn't say anything, just listened to Wen Tianxiang continue to speak.

The news from thousands of miles away was very slow, and Wen Tianxiang also came up with the information from last year. Since the establishment of the Europa Province in the Song Dynasty, the management rights have been directly attributed to the court. The court naturally dispatched various verification personnel according to the system. This investigation found out the problem, and the number of banknotes issued by the Europa Province did not match. At the same time, evidence of someone making a mistake in the Europa Province was also captured.

After listening to the statement, Zhao Jiaren did not speak, but looked at Wen Tianxiang and Minister of Civil Affairs. Wen Tianxiang was not busy, but the Minister of Civil Affairs was a little eager to try. Zhao Jiaren smiled and said, "What do you want to deal with?"

"Officials, remove old personnel from the Europa Province back to China and replace them with new groups of officials." The Minister of Civil Affairs replied.

Zhao Jiaren did not answer immediately. He personally understood this suggestion, but could not make a decision immediately. The Europa Province was too far away, far away to the court, and the effect was limited by replacing people. The best way was to send capable personnel to review and accelerate the replacement of personnel in the Europa Province.

However, the Europa Province, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, lacks an effective supervision mechanism. If you want to get a clear water and a bright mirror there, even if you do it, the cost will be extremely high. After thinking about it, Zhao Jiaren said: "You will discuss it again."

Wen Tianxiang was puzzled, but he did not resist. The Minister of Civil Affairs hurriedly said: "Officials, those people are corrupt and abused the law. Are the officials worried that they will rebel?"

"Go down and discuss it." Zhao Jiaren issued an order to expel guests. Looking at the back of the Minister of Civil Affairs, Zhao Jiaren was very unhappy. The minister's ability was probably over, and his mentality made Zhao Jiaren even more unhappy. The first thing to do was to solve the problem is to analyze the problem. The man who seized the result of one thing started to quarrel. The master Dayou Qingtian slapped the gavel and shouted: "Drag corrupt official xxx down and chopped it with a tiger's head guillo."

Zhao Jiaren will not tolerate corrupt officials and criminals, but he also does not tolerate officials who do things simply and roughly. A farmer who has not received much education can also be simple and rough. Letting officials receive so much education does not allow them to have the same methods of doing things like farmers and have far greater public power than farmers.

Wen Tianxiang returned to the prime minister's office and began to consider the Zhao Guan family's ideas. The Minister of Civil Affairs couldn't help but urge him urgently, "Prime Minister, if those corrupt officials stay for one more day, the court will lose much money."

After hearing this, Wen Tianxiang didn't say anything. Of course he knew this, but the Zhao Guan family did not say anything, which means that the Zhao Guan family would definitely not agree with this reason. Why is this? According to the Zhao Guan family's habits, he would not do things that he did not agree with.

The Minister of Civil Affairs was disappointed. After thinking about it, he did not go home or return to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but went straight to Zhao Qian. Seeing Zhao Qian, the Minister of Civil Affairs immediately told Zhao Qian what he had learned. Looking at Zhao Qian frowned, the Minister of Civil Affairs said, "Crown Prince, you must not ignore this matter."

Zhao Qian did not mean to ignore it. He was working hard to promote a more detailed regulation to manage the ethics of the Song Dynasty officials, with the purpose of effectively managing officials. It is certainly not allowed to use institutional loopholes to earn private interests. However, what Zhao Qian thought of was his previous conversation with Luo Yiren, the Minister of Lifan. It can be seen that Luo Yiren had known about the matter in the Europa Province, but Luo Yiren did not advocate dealing with it immediately.

So Zhao Qian sent the Minister of Civil Affairs first, and then ran to find Luo Yiren. After hearing Zhao Qian say something a little, Luo Yiren's face became gloomy. After Zhao Qian finished speaking, Luo Yiren asked, "What are the prince going to do?"

"I want to ask what happened to the Europa Province." Zhao Qian replied.

"Money is obsessed with, and I see money." Luo Yiren replied.

"That's all?" Zhao Qian was a little disappointed.

"If no one supervises, or if someone supervises it, it will be a mess." Luo Yiren continued to say facts that everyone can understand.

"Is this all?" Zhao Qian was even more disappointed.

"Prince, the problem now is that anyone else will do this. I don't talk to people in the Europa Province. I just want to ask, why is someone making this happen now?"
