Chapter 64 The Omen of Despair

Tiger and Leopard jumped off their wet horses, threw their raincoats aside, and entered Yunzheng's tent before even taking off their bamboo hats. They saw the commander sitting alone behind the table, watching the rain dripping from the top of the tent.

Copper Basin looked like he was in a daze, and he didn't know whether he should interrupt the tranquility at this moment.

"Damn, this is how traitors are trained to succeed. Tiger, have you found out the details of Long Tieqiao?" Yun Zheng's sinister voice came out from behind the desk.

Tiger took off his bamboo hat and said quickly: "The commander is really a god. You said that Long Tieqiao is a great traitor in Qinzhou. I still don't believe it. Such a person who is known as the timely rain should not be like this."

, after investigation, it was discovered that this person was indeed not a simple person. Xiao Xiao and Baozi visited Chengcang Camp these days, questioned many people, and secretly captured a few people who were close to Long Tieqiao, and then they found out about this guy.

He is actually the largest private salt dealer in Qinzhou, and 70% of the private salt in Yanguan Town was trafficked by him."

Leopard continued: "The one-legged thief Mo Hu'er in Qinzhou and the Tianwang Village on Laoye Mountain are all closely related to him, not to mention that he is the brother-in-law of Hu Shui Man Blind Yao. You sent him to find Dong.

I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Zhan and Qingyi to form a ghost badge. Why don't we let our brothers sneak into Qingtang and deal with this person to avoid damaging the commander's reputation."

Yun Zheng knocked on the table and said with a smile: "This kind of person with broad eyelids and wild ways is the best candidate for envoy. I used to worry about damaging a good person, but since I heard that he has the title of "Timely Rain" among the people, I have no idea.

Feeling guilty.

Tigers and leopards, please remember, a person who does business as a favor and makes friends with people in the mountains. Once you see him in the future, you will kill him immediately. Don’t hesitate at all. Even if this kind of person is not a robber who just sits on the ground and divides the stolen goods.

, just a bastard with big ambitions.

It is said that it is not uncommon to harm the interests of the people of the court and benefit oneself. Human nature is greedy, and it is natural to seek benefits for oneself. Even if such a person is a disaster, he will not do much harm to the world. Just kill him.

.

But those who harm the public and enrich others, and use the interests of the court to benefit the world, once they cause trouble, they are likely to bring trouble to the world. I have heard of such a person before, and his friend committed a crime.

He would tell the news, and would try his best to reduce the big deal to a trivial one. Even if a bandit came to his door in distress and begged for help, he would try his best to satisfy him. Later, he killed his wife and was imprisoned. Those who had suffered

The people he favored actually broke into the state capital and rescued him from prison. Then they set up a flag on a big mountain with the four characters "Xingdao for Heaven" written on it, and they became very powerful professional robbers...

"

Seeing that the commander seemed to be in a trance again, Tiger scratched his head and said, "Who are you talking about? Leopard and I have both studied history books, and we have never heard of such a person!"

Yun Zheng frowned. This kind of student who wants to know everything is annoying. He waved his sleeves and said: "There must be something wrong with the family members sent by Longtieqiao. Since the rain has stopped, you go and get that person."

After Mo Huer is captured, I will wipe out the Tianwang Village and ask them where the family members of Longtieqiao are. If they find them, they will bring them back. It is raining anyway, so they are idle."

The tiger and the leopard happily agreed and left the commander's tent. As for the hysterical words the commander just said, they just pretended not to have heard them.

Seeing Tiger and the others leaving, Yun Zheng said to himself: "Even if I don't become a traitor this time, I will definitely be despised by others for the rest of my life. The bullshit in the Song Dynasty has ruined my reputation. I want to live up to my reputation as a gentleman from now on."

I’m afraid it will be very difficult.”

Bao Zheng came all the way to Qinwangchuan. He came to distinguish the authenticity. The secret report from the Secret Service said that Qinwangchuan had been lost, but the reports from Yunzheng, Li Chang and Fu Bi said that this was absolutely not the case.

, Qin Wangchuan is still in the hands of the imperial court.

This caused great turmoil in Tokyo. The emperor demanded a thorough investigation into the matter. Pang Ji and others asked Yunzheng, Li Chang, and Fu Bi to give the court an explanation as soon as possible. If Qin Wangchuan fell, whether it was Yunzheng or Fu Bi,

Neither Li Chang nor Li Chang can escape the blame, but the funny thing is that Pang Ji's documents arrived in Qinzhou before the imperial envoy, which means that Pang Ji and others believed that Qin Wangchuan had been lost and only wanted to give Yunzheng and Pang Ji

In a little time, we will take back Qin Wangchuan at all costs.

When Bao Zheng arrived at Qinwangchuan, he saw that the dilapidated city wall in the heavy rain was still in the hands of the Song army. He breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor was really angry this time. The three important ministers on the front line coaxed him, the emperor, to

He can endure it. What Bao Zheng is most worried about is that these three people have been convicted of the crime of deceiving the emperor. Now as long as Qin Wangchuan is still in the hands of the Song Dynasty, even if something happened in the middle, it doesn't matter. The emperor

What they care about is deception, but what people like Pang Ji care about is the Qin Wangchuan clan. Their requirements are different, so the way they handle things is also different.

Also traveling with him was Zou Tong. This great eunuch came to see the actual situation with his own eyes. His eyes actually helped the emperor grow. After he returned, he wanted to tell the emperor what he saw and heard.

After Fu Bi heard Bao Zheng's intention, he turned over the desk. Without saying a word, he took Bao Zheng's hand to the back camp, asked for the roster from the grain official, and patted it on Bao Zheng's hand.

Li said: "Your Majesty, don't you ask if the Qinzhou army is safe?"

Bao Zheng took the roster and opened it doubtfully. What he saw were dazzling red pen marks. According to the practice in the Song Dynasty army, only the names of soldiers who died in battle would be written off on the page of the roster.

Frightened, he kept turning back and finally laughed miserably and said: "The Qinzhou Army is not over halfway through the battle!"

"Accurately speaking, 11,300 people were killed and 6,413 were injured in the battle. As for minor injuries, haha, I, the prefect of Qinzhou, was unscathed. As for others, I'm afraid I can't find a few.

One with intact skin and flesh.

The Qinzhou Army has been resisting alone here for more than two months against a 140,000-strong army. Even if it has no merit, it still has some hard work. The princes in the court have turned a blind eye to these meritorious deeds. Why do they doubt my report?

Come?"

Zou Tong said in a low voice: "The report from the Secret Service and the report from the Palace Master are inconsistent. It is only right that your Majesty investigate."

Fu Bi angrily retorted and pointed his halberd at Comrade Zou: "I am talking to Bao Zheng. What qualifications do you, a eunuch, have to speak in my handsome tent? Come on, drag this eunuch out and punish thirty army sticks!"

Bao Zheng quickly held Fu Bi back and said, "You can't fight. You can't fight. You've already lost half of my life by rushing all the way. If you really want to fight, you can even fight me together and lose half of my life."

Take it away.”

Fu Bi shook his sleeves bitterly and walked straight out of the back camp without knowing where he went.

Seeing Fu Bi leave, Zou Tong smiled and thanked Bao Zheng: "Thank you so much, Bachelor, for saving your life!"

Bao Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Who will hit you, and who will really hit you? But if Fu Bi does this, it means that something must have happened in Qin Wangchuan."

Zou Tong said with a smile: "I am a slave of the royal family. Sirs, you still have to beat the dog to see the master. If the master really wants to beat him, I, a slave, can only bear it. But I know one thing,

The Royal Secret Service rarely sends back incorrect paperwork."

Fu Bi did not show any dignity to Bao Zheng and Zou Tong, but Li Chang, who stayed with Qinwangchuan Dazhai, smiled like a flower and welcomed Bao Zheng and Zou Tong into his military tent.

As soon as Bao Zheng entered the door, he saw a lifelike wax statue. This wax statue still had the ferocious look of choosing others to devour. Li Chang smiled and blew off some dust from the shoulders of the wax statue and said to Bao Zheng and Comrade Zou with a smile: "You two

Come and meet, this is Zhang Zhi and Zhang Zihou, the governor of Xizhou, Xixia Kingdom. They are famous generals of Xixia Kingdom. You two cannot be disrespected!"

Bao Zheng had long known that Li Chang turned Zhang Zhi's corpse into a wax figure. Although he didn't agree with it, he didn't say anything. He casually bowed his hands to Zhang Zhi's wax figure and found a place to sit down and watch it at Fu Bi's place.

If you don't have a good look, the only thing Li Chang can do is show the other side's look. No matter in terms of official position or status, Li Chang is not qualified to win a university.

Zou Tong was different. He smiled and looked at the wax figure made of Zhang Zhi's body carefully and said, "Li Jianjun, is this the wax figure you said in your report that you wanted to give it to His Majesty as a decoration?"

Li Chang smiled proudly and said: "As soon as my army marches out, the demons and monsters will naturally be crowned. Our court has been too tolerant to the barbarians in recent years. If we don't use some thunderous methods, how can we show the majesty of the Song Dynasty?"

Zou Tong looked at the majestic Li Chang with admiration and agreed very much with his statement.

Bao Zheng took a sip of water and said: "After the victory in the battle of Ranshipo, the whole country rejoiced. Needless to say, Yun Shuai's ability. Now I just want to ask you what is going on in Qin Wangchuan?"

Li Chang smiled and said: "What else could be going on? The governor and Wu Zang were fighting fiercely in the King of Qin River. Yun Shuai set up a net behind to capture Zhang Zhi. Zhang Zhi's 16,000 men were wiped out. Wu Zang

He would run away, and it would be meaningless for Fu Zun to defend Qin Wangchuan. After all, a large number of soldiers would be killed every day, all of them were his own brothers. One less person would die if he could, so Yun Shuai ordered Fu Zun to be killed.

He returned to Qinzhou and set up a net on the hilly land between Qinwangchuan and Qinzhou to wait for him to hide. As a result, he turned around and ran away. All the preparations he had made were in vain. As for the three of us who signed a joint statement

The King of Qin River is unobstructed. On the one hand, he does not want to cause civil unrest in Fengxiang Mansion. Secondly, he does not want to disappoint the people of the Song Dynasty who have just expressed their anger again. Anyway, the King of Qin River fell into the hands of Wu Zangying Pang for only nineteen days.

, isn’t he already back? Yun Shuai even crossed the Guangwu Mountains to pursue Wu Zangying Pang. If it hadn’t been for the heavy rain, maybe there would have been good news."

After figuring out the facts, Bao Zheng and Zou Tong were completely relieved. The two reasons mentioned by Li Chang were very sufficient, and it was justified for Yun Zheng to make such a judgment based on the situation at the front.

Zou Tong interrupted: "It is right not to tell the people about this matter, why should you hide it from your majesty?"

Li Chang smiled strangely and said, "Isn't there a secret recital once a month?"

Zou Tong suddenly realized and laughed. It took 19 days for Qinwangchuan to fall, and the secret report was once a month. These people just made a time difference. It is estimated that His Majesty now knows the whole story. (To be continued)
