With the regent as his inner support, Qin Jiyan knew Northern Qi's bottom line in advance. During the formal meeting the next day, Qin Jiyan made his request unceremoniously.
"The troops gathered by the Northern Qi Dynasty at the border must be withdrawn immediately. Hand over Mr. An's body. I want to investigate the case. Right and wrong cannot be based on Northern Qi's words. If the murderer is a citizen of our country, I, the Qin Dynasty, will hand over the murderer.
"If you don't ask Northern Qi to give me an explanation for Da Qin." Qin Jiyan would not say in front of the palace how to explain specifically, because this matter is definitely not his responsibility.
"The Northern Qi Dynasty has been causing chaos in the border towns of Da Qin for many years, causing irreparable harm to the people of Da Qin. The people of the border towns need to be compensated one hundred thousand taels of silver." Qin Jiyan repeatedly emphasized that this money must be given to the people of the border towns, not the court.
After experiencing the rebellion of officials in the border city, Qin Jiyan was extremely disappointed with the officials of Da Qin and was not at all confident about handing over large sums of money to them.
"People from the Northern Qi Dynasty are suspected of participating in and leading the Daqin Goddess Temple case. The Northern Qi Dynasty must hand over the mastermind." It goes without saying who the mastermind is.
Although Qin Jiyan knew that the bottom line of the Northern Qi people was very low, he didn't ask for too much. After all... the regent and the queen mother of the Northern Qi Dynasty had agreed to him now, and the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty could turn around and deny him, so he just asked for it now.
As for other things?
The many favors he asked for from Da Qin would only make his imperial grandfather suspect that he had done something he shouldn't have done in Northern Qi.
"Yes." The regent agreed without hesitation and did not bargain with Qin Jiyan at all. Either Wu Yuzhi was too important, or the regent had no intention of repeating the appointment from the beginning to the end.
Alliances are meant to be betrayed, promises are meant to be broken, and contracts are meant to be torn up. Qin Jiyan was not surprised by this, and asked him to get what he wanted step by step.
"In this case, I will wait for the regent to hand over the person."
The regent did not hesitate and responded: "I can hand over Mr. An's body to you immediately, Liu Lang of the Yang family. One hundred thousand taels of silver and the withdrawal of troops, when Qin Jiyan leaves Northern Qi, our country will definitely give it to you, but the premise is
You must hand over the third prince first."
The regent's only goal is this. As long as Wu Yuzhi is safe, as for the contract with Qin Jiyan? Once he gets the person, does he need to give face to the eldest grandson of the Emperor of Qin? The Emperor of Qin is pretty much the same.
"After the case of Mr. An is investigated and the case of the Goddess Tower is completed, I will invite His Highness Wu Yuzhi to return to the palace." At this time, Qin Jiyan still refused to make a mistake in a word to prevent the Northern Qi people from catching him.
.
As for the one hundred thousand taels of silver and the withdrawal of the troops? This can be delayed a step, and then he can exchange Wu Yuzhi's life for the Northern Qi Emperor.
"Prince Qin, don't go too far." The regent slapped the table angrily. Qin Jiyan glanced at him as if nothing had happened. He picked up the teacup on the table, blew off the tea leaves floating on it, took a sip, and poured the teacup down.
Putting it on the table, he said calmly: "Prince Regent, it is you who have gone too far. Whether it is An Jia or Yang, you, Northern Qi, are the ones who took the lead in this matter. I, Da Qin, want you to hand over this person. This is normal.
."Do you really think they are easy to bully?
"You..." The regent choked and pointed at Qin Jiyan.
Qin Jiyan opened the regent's finger with force that could not be refused, "Regent, I don't like to be pointed at. Also, don't think that if I have 300,000 soldiers and horses in the side mirror, I will be afraid of Great Qin. Really
Do you think there is no one in our Great Qin?"
As soon as the Hubu Yinzhuang established the national treasury, it would have money, and if it had money, it would be able to fight wars. He would collect the accounts of the fifteen years from Northern Qi one by one.
The regent's face changed slightly, but he did not dare to challenge Qin Jiyan, because there were also 300,000 horses hoarded on the Qin border, and neither side would be able to gain favor in a fight.
The regent backed away, "The King of Qin was joking, Northern Qi and Da Qin have always been friendly, how could he have such an idea. I will send the person that the King of Qin wants to the inn later. It's just that the Queen Mother misses the third prince, and she also asks the King of Qin to let the three princes go earlier."
It’s only when the prince comes back.”
"Yes." Qin Jiyan agreed, but when will the promise be fulfilled?
See when he is happy!
The information given by the Princess Regent was correct. The Prince Regent was a reckless man. In order to fulfill the Queen Mother's order, he would sacrifice anything, including his own son.
The result of the negotiation was very gratifying. That night, the regent sent someone to transport Mr. An's body to Beiyuan. After Gu Qiancheng roughly confirmed that it was Mr. An, he had it carried to the execution room. She went to check whether Mr. An was alive.
How did he die?
Qin Jiyan originally wanted to accompany her to the autopsy, but at this moment Yang Liulang was secretly kidnapped, and the person who kidnapped Yang Liulang insisted on seeing Qin Jiyan.
"Who insists on seeing me?" Qin Jiyan walked out and saw Yang Liulang unconscious on the ground, and a middle-aged man who looked elegant but was actually dressed as a soldier.
"The official's surname is Meng. He is the uncle of the princess. He came to see His Highness the King of Qin on the order of the princess. His highness tells the official what he is looking for, what to do, and what to investigate in Northern Qi. The official will not hesitate to die." The person identified himself.
Finally, he also explained his purpose of coming.
"The princess is interested." Qin Jiyan had three points of trust and seven points of caution for the regent princess and her people. But the other party took the initiative to come to the door, and Qin Jiyan would not let it go. The free labor of the left and right people was not in vain.
Of course, for safety reasons, Qin Jiyan would not let them investigate important matters. Qin Jiyan left the affairs of the Goddess Tower family to them and asked them to find out what the Yang family wanted to do in the Goddess Tower back then?
What did you do?
The Princess Regent's maiden name is Meng, which has been passed down in the Northern Qi Dynasty for seven generations. Such a family is still a famous family in Da Qin. Their family has its own connections. It is not difficult for them to investigate the affairs of the Yang family. Princess Regent
The clan uncle responded with all his heart.
Yang Liulang was unconscious, and Qin Jiyan had no intention of interrogating Yang Liulang for the time being, so he was not in a hurry. Instead of asking Yang Liulang something that was not sure whether it was true or not, it was better to wait for the Meng family to find out first, so that he could have a clear understanding of it.
It's easy to ask.
Qin Jiyan arranged the people and went to the morgue to find Gu Qiancheng, but he didn't expect that Gu Qiancheng had already come out of the morgue, changed his clothes, and was washing his hands over and over again.
Seeing that Gu Qiancheng's hands were all red and he continued to wash them, Qin Jiyan smiled and shook his head, took a clean towel and stepped forward to wrap Gu Qiancheng's hands: "They are all red, so you can
Can’t you be nicer to them?”
On such a cold day, there is no need to wash with hot water.
After wiping them clean, Qin Jiyan rubbed Gu Qiancheng's hands to soften them quickly. Gu Qiancheng did not refuse, but he also did not want to use his cold hands to freeze Qin Jiyan's face as usual, but
He had a solemn look on his face, looking like he had something to say but didn't know how to say it...
