"There are four people coming back from the north."
Every household in the courtyard on the street lights up, letting a little light shine into the street. In the distance, you can hear the sounds of children running, cocks crowing and dogs barking. Ning Yi and his group were walking on the road on the edge of Zhang Village. Peng Yue
Yun and Ning Yi walked side by side and whispered about Tang Minjie.
"...In addition to Tang Minjie, there is another woman, the sister of a regiment leader named Luo Ye in the army. She has been tortured a lot and her brain is no longer normal. After arriving in Hanzhong, she stayed there temporarily. In addition, there are
There are two Han Chinese who are good at martial arts, one is named Yu Shuinan and the other is Wei Su. They are green forest knights who follow the Han lady in the North."
"... After Hanzhong discovered the four people, they conducted the first round of questioning. Tang Minjie... confessed to what he had done. In Yunzhong, it was he who violated discipline and ordered Mrs. Han to stir up trouble.
The two palaces were in conflict. The Han lady rescued him and handed Luo Ye's sister to him, forcing him to come back. Then she secretly sent Yu Shuinan and Wei Su to escort the two people south..."
"Due to the complexity of this matter, Hanzhong separated the four people and sent two people to escort Tang Minjie back to Chengdu. Yu Shuinan and Wei Su were escorted by another team. They arrived in Chengdu within half a day. I carried out
After the preliminary interrogation, he hurriedly brought the records... The dispute between the Jurchen and the Eastern Palaces has now been spread in Chengdu newspapers, but no one knows the inside story yet. Yu Shuinan and Wei Su have protected them for the time being.
Sexually placed under house arrest.”
Ning Yi and Peng Yueyun walked in front, while Hongti and Lin Jingmei chatted behind. When Peng Yueyun finished talking about Tang Minjie, Ning Yi glanced at him: "Preliminary interrogation...what are you interrogating?
Don’t you know what’s going on in your mind?”
"Tang..." Peng Yueyun hesitated for a moment, and then said, "...Senior, he... confessed to all crimes, and there was not much conflict with the statements of Yu Shuinan and Wei Su. In fact, according to Yu and Wei
The idea is that they want to kill the senior, and the senior himself..."
Peng Yueyun was silent for a moment: "He seems... he doesn't seem to want to live anymore."
The words were spoken lightly, but at the end, there was a slight sadness in them. A man is determined to die, and there are many tough guys in the Chinese army who regard death as home. Peng Yueyun has long been used to it, but only with Tang Minjie - he
On the one hand, his body experienced unspeakable torture and still survived, but on the other hand, he was determined to die because of what he had done. This unsolvable contradiction is moving even in understatement.
Ning Yi also walked forward in silence, his eyes falling on the darkness in the distance of the village.
"Yu Shuinan and Wei Su said they brought the Han lady's words with them, but in fact they didn't bring any tokens with them to prove this."
"Yes." Peng Yueyun nodded, "Before leaving, the lady just asked them to bring that sentence, Tang Minjie's talent is good for the world, please let him live. Yu and Wei once said
The lady asked about the keepsake and asked if she wanted to bring a letter to us. The lady said no, she said... It doesn't matter if you can't bring it, it doesn't matter if you die without proof... These statements have all been recorded...
…”
In the night, Ning Yi slowed down and took a deep breath in the darkness. Both he and Peng Yueyun could certainly understand Chen Wenjun's intention of not leaving a token. The Chinese army used this method to provoke the Eastern and Western governments.
It is beneficial to fight against Jin's overall situation, but as long as the story of the matter is revealed, Tang Minjie will inevitably be accused of being too cruel.
The merits and demerits of later generations are secondary. Now that the Jin Kingdom is not destroyed, talking about this matter in private may lead to a war of words over the Huaxia Army's behavior of sacrificing allies. However, Chen Wenjun did not leave any tokens of this matter. Huaxia
Jun's denial or reversal would make him more confident. This choice is extremely rational for Kang Jin, but it is extremely ruthless for himself.
"...It's a pity." Ning Yi said, his voice slightly hoarse, "More than ten years ago, when Mr. Qin was imprisoned and handed over the affairs of the Secret Investigation Department, he told me about the things left by the top brass of the Jin Kingdom.
This secret... I say she is very pitiful, but she is not necessarily controllable. She is the daughter of an old friend of Mr. Qin. She happened to be in that position and she should have been rescued..."
"The old man said that if possible, he hopes to give her a good ending in the future. A damn good ending... Now that she is so great, what are the things Tang Minjie has done? Who are we?"
His last words were angry and heavy. When Hong Ti and Lin Jingmei who were walking behind heard it, they couldn't help but look up.
After calming down, the group of people continued to walk forward. After a while, when they left the river bank, there were many pedestrians on the road. Most of them were people returning from the wedding banquet. When they saw Ning Yi and Hongti, they came over to have a fight.
call.
Regarding Tang Minjie's matters, that's all that could be discussed with Peng Yueyun. That night, Ning Yi, Su Tan'er and others chatted with Lin Jingmei about emotional matters. The next morning, they called Peng Yueyun.
, just said to him: "As for your affairs with Jingmei, please find a time to propose marriage."
Then he sighed: "This is my first time marrying my daughter...it's enough."
Looking back, his heart is actually very cold. Many years ago, he followed Lao Qin to Beijing and recruited troops in the name of the Secret Investigation Department. In his eyes, a large number of green forest experts were just cannon fodder. The subordinates he recruited at that time
, there are decent figures like Lin Nian, the "Five Phoenix Sword" of the Qin and Eastern Han Dynasties, and evil masters like Chen Tuozi, it doesn't matter to him, he uses power to control people, and uses profit to drive people, that's all.
Unexpectedly, along the way, so many people slowly fell on the road, and these people gradually became important in his heart. When the Jurchens went south for the first time, Lin Nian fought on the battlefield until he ran out of gas.
When the lamp died, Ning Yi accepted the yellow-haired girl as her adopted daughter. In a blink of an eye, the little girl was now twenty-four or five years old. Fortunately, she did not continue to like He Wen foolishly. Now that she can be with Peng Yueyun, this
After becoming a hero in the Western Army, the boy can now be said to be a responsible affairs officer. He can finally live up to Lin Nian's entrustment back then.
"I will personally take care of Tang Minjie's matter after I return to Chengdu." Ning Yi said: "You are allowed two days of leave here, and you will discuss the next things with Jingmei and your Aunt Su. Jingmei's future work
You can also be transferred to Chengdu."
"Chairman, Tang Minjie..."
"I know he saved your life back then. Don't interfere with his affairs."
"……yes."
*****************
The three boys in the family are no longer in Zhangcun - Ning Xi and Chu Yi went to Chengdu, Ning Ji ran away from home, and after the youngest Ning He was sent to the countryside to endure hardships, there are only a few lovely boys left in the family here.
A daughter.
In the morning, he said goodbye to his daughters who were going to school. After meeting some people, including Peng Yueyun and Lin Jingmei, and explaining the things here, it was almost noon. Ning Yi got on the train to Chengdu.
The carriage waved goodbye to Tan'er, Xiaochan, Hongti and others. The carriage carried several winter clothes for Ning Xi and Chu Yi, as well as the roast chicken that Ning Xi liked to eat, which symbolized maternal love.
I handled government affairs in the car and made arrangements for the meeting the next day. I ate roast chicken. In the spare time of handling the affairs, I thought about how to deal with Tang Minjie and made no decision.
As Peng Yueyun said, there are actually troubles around Ning Yi every day. Tang Minjie's problem can only be regarded as one of the small things.
It was almost late at night after arriving in Chengdu, and I made arrangements with the Secretariat for a meeting the next day. The next morning, the Secretariat first reported on the new situation in the past few days, and then there were several meetings about the deaths in the mines.
There are topics on research on new crops on the farm, and responses to the new situation after the conflict between the east and west prefectures of the Jin Kingdom - this meeting has been held several times, and the most important thing is related to the layout of Jin, Liangshan and other places. Due to the local
It's too far away, and random intervention would sound like arm's-length tactics. However, considering that the situation in Bianliang is about to change, if more roads can be opened and material support for Liangshan troops can be strengthened, the initiative in the future can still be increased a lot.
.
"At this stage, the only springboard to aid Liangshan materially is in Jin. But according to recent intelligence, the female prime minister in Jin chose to bet Zou Xu in the next Central Plains war.
.Sooner or later we have to face a problem, that is, although the Prime Minister is willing to give some food to keep our team in Liangshan alive, she may not be willing to see the team in Liangshan grow..."
"Can we talk to He Wen?"
"According to He Wen's approach, even if they are willing to join forces with us and help us, it will be difficult to resume large-scale production within the next year... They are now aiming to swallow up Lin'an."
"The little emperor has a sea-going ship over there, and he has retained some property there. If he is willing, it seems that he can supplement the supply of food and weapons."
"Even if the little emperor is willing to give, there is nothing in Liangshan, how can we trade?"
"Use our reputation to lend a little on credit?"
"Don't forget that Wang Shanyue belongs to the little emperor. Even if the little emperor can save a little possessions, he will definitely support Wang Shanyue first... But although it is unlikely, we should still give Liu Chengzong the negotiating power in this area. I wish you the best
Biaobu, let them actively contact the small imperial court in the southeast. We all recognize the accounts they have on credit with the young emperor. In this way, it will also be convenient to conduct relatively reciprocal negotiations with the Jin Dynasty."
"But according to the character of Prime Minister Jin Dilou, will this move anger her instead? Make her find an excuse not to help Liangshan?"
"The female prime minister is very calculating, but she can really do things like pretending to be arrogant. Fortunately, she made a deal with Zou Xu first, so we can punish her first. If she gets angry in the future for an excuse, we can find it easily.
Come up with a reason. After all, the technology transfer with Jindi is still in progress, and she won't go too far..."
Everyone was chattering about it, and later on, some people also raised the question of whether to make a temporary compromise with Zou Xuxu. Of course, this proposal was only expressed as an objective view, and was rejected after a short discussion.
After the meeting, the condemnation of Lou Shuwan was at least temporarily finalized. In addition to the public criticism, Ning Yi had to write a letter to scold her privately and notify Zhan Wu. Xue Guangcheng looked angry.
Can you temporarily dig out some of the supplies Lou Shuwan sold to Zou Xu and send them to Liangshan?
In fact, the distance between the two sides is too far after all. According to speculation, if the balance between the East and West Jurchens has been broken, according to the personalities of Liu Chengzong, Zhu Biao, Wang Shanyue and others, the team over there may have already been preparing to send troops to do something. And wait until
After the condemnation from here is sent, it is possible that the battle will be over. Southwest can only try its best to provide some help there, and believe that the frontline staff will have flexible operations.
The letter condemning Lou Shuwan was not easy to write. The letter also mentioned some character analysis about Zou Xu to prevent her from being deceived by Zou Xu in the subsequent transaction. In this way, it was almost evening when I finished writing the letter.
Ning Yi, who finally had some free time, got on the carriage and prepared to go to see Tang Minjie. During this period, he couldn't help but think of Zou Xu, Tang Minjie, Qu Zhengyan, Lin Qiu, Xu Shaoyuan, Peng Yueyun and other young people he had brought out with his own hands.
.
During the years when the Chinese Army was in Xiaocanghe, Ning Yi brought out a lot of talents. In fact, the most important thing was the experience of those three years of brutal war. Many young people who were originally talented died, and many of them Ning Yi still had.
I remember, I can even remember how they suddenly disappeared in the wars.
The most powerful person who can stay today is of course Qu Zhengyan. However, Ning Yi thinks that Qu Zhengyan’s talent in the art of war cannot be taught. It is purely a wild talent inspired by war. In Qu Zhengyan’s case,
In addition, among the surviving students at that time, Ning Yi was once the most optimistic about Zou Xu.
In the political arena - especially when he is a leader - Ning Yi knows that this kind of attitude of disciples is not a good thing, but after all, he brings them out step by step, understands them more deeply, and uses them relatively skillfully, so he has some thoughts in his heart.
It's hard for him to treat this matter differently.
Among those students, Tang Minjie was actually not in the ranks that Ning Yi particularly liked. The little fat man once thought too much, but many of his thoughts were gloomy and useless - in fact, gloomy thoughts themselves
There is no problem, but if it is useless, at least for Ning Yi at that time, he will not put too much thought into him.
But in the brutal war phase that followed, Tang Minjie survived and conducted two very beautiful high-risk operations in extreme circumstances - his actions were different from those of Qu Zhengyan, who walked a tightrope in extreme circumstances.
, in fact, he has made correct calculations subconsciously, and Tang Minjie is more like a pure adventure. Of course, he can come up with ideas and take risks in extreme circumstances, which in itself can be regarded as transcendent.
The abilities of ordinary people - many people will lose their minds in extreme circumstances, or cower and be unwilling to make choices. That is the real waste.
Later, the Chinese army moved to Xiaocanghe and was unable to evacuate. The team that Tang Minjie served as a staff officer encountered several difficulties. He led the team to the rear, and the strong man finally managed to find a way out after breaking his wrist. This is his contribution. And perhaps it is because of his experience.
There were too many extreme situations, and his methods were found to be fierce and almost cruel in Liangshan. This became a very troublesome problem for Ning Yi.
He had no choice but to send him to the Northland to cooperate with Lu Mingfang and be responsible for the implementation of the operation.
In fact, when I think back carefully, if it weren't for the fact that his mobility was already very powerful at that time and he almost copied many of his behavioral characteristics back then, his excessive and extreme methods might not have stood out so much in my eyes.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the light-walled and gray-tiled courtyard on the east side of the city - this was the courtyard where Chen Shanjun, Li Ximing and others were temporarily detained - Ning Yi got out of the car. It was almost evening, and the sun fell inside the high wall.
In the courtyard, there are vines climbing on the walls and moss growing in the corners.
Tang Minjie is reading a book.
——The window of the room he lived in was open, and the setting sun shone slantly through the window, so he could be seen reading at his desk. When he heard someone's footsteps, he raised his head and then stood up.
Ning Yi walked through the courtyard and walked into the room. Tang Minjie put his legs together and raised his hands in salute - he is no longer the fat man he used to be. There are scars on his face, and twisted gaps can be seen at the corners of his tightly pursed lips.
His slightly narrowed eyes were filled with solemnity and sadness. There were twisted and unfolded flesh on his saluting fingers. Even though his thin body tried to stand up straight, he didn't look like a soldier, but there seemed to be something more than a soldier in between.
Something more persistent.
Ning Yi also saluted him, and he looked at him seriously. After a long time, he lowered his hand.
"I was thinking about it all the way. What is the difference between you and Dai Mengwei in doing such a thing?"
"...There is no difference, disciple..." Tang Minjie just blinked, and then answered in a calm voice, "What I did was an unforgivable crime. Tang Minjie...please plead guilty and abide by the law.
In addition, I feel... very good to be able to come back here to stand trial. I feel happy." There were tears in his eyes and he smiled: "I'm done."
"..." Ning Yi was silent for a moment, and finally took a deep breath, "...then sit down."
Tang Minjie sat down, and the setting sun fell on his face through the open window.
