Chapter 3 Lukewarm

After chasing Volha, Zhao Qiang felt that he should tell Volha what happened in detail to avoid him being suspicious or dissatisfied. He immediately told Volha everything. [] Of course,

He just said that a Han slave actually sneered at him, and then he got angry and killed him. Afterwards, he gave Zhengbai Qi a coat. His words meant that he blamed himself for his violent temper.

In addition, the person who compensated Zhengbaiqi for covering the Mingzhu Mansion, Zhao Qiang, had the power to deal with it. I originally thought that Volha was Mingzhu's favorite general and would definitely say a few words to himself about this matter, even if he did not openly accuse himself.

He could say a few words about his own faults. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Volha laughed and said: "They are just slaves, kill them if you want them to. If they don't know the rules, you can just kill a Han slave."

I blame myself for this. I think back when I was in the south, every time I captured a city, I would slaughter a thousand or eight hundred people. If I were like you, wouldn't I have to hang myself to death?" He also said: Those who hold the white flag are not counted.

So what if they are dissatisfied? Do they still dare to find trouble with us? As for the slave, just pay it, what's the big deal. Since the prime minister has assigned these slaves to you for dispatch, it means that the prime minister values ​​you very much.

, these people can also be regarded as your minions, whether you fight or kill them, you can make your own decisions, and the prime minister promises that he will not be dissatisfied with you. "

With Volha's words, Zhao Qiang immediately felt relieved, and suddenly had an idea, that is, to slowly torture Volha to death, so that he could feel the pain of being slaughtered by others, both when he killed and when he was killed.

What different reactions there will be.

At dusk that day, the team arrived at Ninggu Pagoda, but did not enter the city. Instead, accompanied by officials from the Ninggu Pagoda Dutong Yamen who had already received a quick horse pass, they drove into an Eight Banners military camp outside the city.

The Ningguta officials said it was a military camp, but when they arrived at the place, they found that it was just an abandoned military camp. The camp was overgrown with weeds and the buildings were seriously damaged. No one had lived there for at least ten years.

Zhao Qiang's side was fine, but Volha's face had turned livid long ago, and he remained sullen without saying a word. All of his five hundred Qing soldiers with yellow flags also had angry expressions on their faces.

There were already dozens of carriages inside the military camp, piled with food and some living supplies. After Zhao Qiang asked, he found out that these were the supplies allocated to his Qiuhe Department by Ning Guta in accordance with Kangxi's decree.

"My lords, we have all carried out the errands assigned by the emperor. It is getting late and we have to return to the city. Otherwise, if the city gate is closed, we will freeze outside the city all night.

"

The two officials of the Dutong Yamen were both junior officials of the sixth grade. From the moment they met Zhao Qiang and Volha, they were lukewarm. Everything was done in a business-like manner. After the handover procedures were completed, they even

He didn't even mention the banquet, but just left and went back to the city.

"You two, walk slowly. I'll send you off a short distance away."

Volha looked at the two officials coldly, and the two assistant leaders behind him were also aggrieved. The people in Jundaoninggu Tower were too bullying. They even arranged such a place for them to live. They simply didn't care about Mingxiang.

Putting yellow flags with them is a big deal! The two of them wanted to ridicule the two officials, but the chief counselor didn't say anything, so they couldn't speak. They just felt sullen in their hearts.

Anyway, he only stayed for one night and left. It would be better not to enter the city. Zhao Qiang didn't want the scene like today to happen again in the city, and another old Wu Jun soldier came to call him in the street. Zhang Dahai's incident was already quite a fluke, if he hadn't done it himself

Fast enough, it would be a big deal to ask him to shout something else. Zhao Qiang is scared to think about it now. Ning Guta arranged for them to camp outside the city just like he wanted. It is better to keep a low profile. It is impossible for God to do it every time.

They all take good care of themselves.

"Sir, what do people from Ningguta mean?"

"They also bullied us too much. We are the people appointed by the emperor. Why do they treat us so coldly? Arrange for us to live in such a miserable place!"

As soon as the two Ningguta officials left, Volha's two assistant leaders couldn't help but vent their displeasure in front of the chief counselor.

"Has the camp been settled yet?"

Unexpectedly, Volha did not pick up the fight with them, but instead asked about the situation of their sergeants' encampment.

"not yet"

The two lieutenants were both old men who had been with Volha for many years and knew his character very well. As soon as they heard the Lord say this, they knew that he had made a mistake.

Fuleha glanced at the two of them with neither joy nor anger, and said calmly: "Since the sergeant has not set up camp, what are you still doing here?"

"Yes, my lord, I know how to handle my humble duty." The two lieutenants hurriedly bowed and saluted, not daring to say anything more, and retreated to check on their subordinates' encampment.

"Does Mi Shenling also think that the people in Ninggu Pagoda are alienated from us?"

After his subordinates left, Volha glanced at Zhao Qiang and said suddenly.

"I dare not speak nonsense." Zhao Qiang didn't care what the people in Ning Guta were thinking, and didn't bother to guess their intentions.

"Actually, it's just a matter of words." Volha smiled slightly and said, "I came to Bahai to hate the prime minister." After saying that, he didn't care what Zhao Qiang thought and went straight to the camp.

Are Bahai and Mingzhu at odds? Zhao Qiang savored Volha's words carefully, suddenly burst into laughter, and then walked towards the motorcade.

Here Ge Feihu, Deqiu and others have already arranged the carriage, and set up a big stove, coachman, and guards in the camp. The dozen readers and old craftsmen all gathered together to eat a big pot of rice. Zhao Qiang made a tour

When he saw that everything was in order and without any mistakes, he felt relieved and felt hungry, so he asked the guards to prepare meals for him.

The guards only cooked cooked beef for Zhao Qiang, as well as a few pancakes and some ginger soup to relieve the cold. Zhao Qiang took a bite of the beef and thought of Zhou Peigong, so he was called over and asked him to join them.

Eat.

After hearing Zhao Qiang's invitation, Zhou Peigong did not refuse, but he did not say a word during the meal, and occasionally glanced at Zhao Qiang with confused eyes, which made Zhao Qiang depressed. He didn't know what Zhou Peigong discovered about him.

"Does Duke Zhou have anything to say to me?" Zhao Qiang couldn't help but wonder why Zhou Peigong was so selfish.

After listening to Zhao Qiang's words, Zhou Peigong put down the beef leg bone, wiped his greasy hands with a square towel, and said calmly: "No."

"No?" Zhao Qiang's mouth twitched. Does Zhou Peigong seem to be fine?

"Is it possible that Duke Zhou is dissatisfied with me because of what happened during the day?" Zhao Qiang took a sip of ginger soup and looked up at Zhou Peigong.

After Zhou Peigong and Zhao Qiang looked at each other for a few seconds, they said in a solemn voice: "Does Mr. Mi really want to know?"

"Of course." Zhao Qiang laughed. Of course he wanted to know why Zhou Peigong was so weird.

"Well, since Mr. Mi wants to know, then Mr. Pei will tell you directly." Zhou Peigong stared at Zhao Qiang's eyes and suddenly asked: "I wonder if Mr. Mi can tell Mr. Pei, who is Zhao Qiang?"
