Chapter 75
Zhao Xingdao: "What are you kidding?"
Fan Xiaodao said: "No, it was Tuoba Zhengshi who was joking first. If they sent a group to kill a cat or a dog, they would have to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver. According to this method of compensation, let alone the mountains of gold and silver, even if there is an entire Cao County, we can't afford it!"
Tuoba Yidao said: "This person is our deputy envoy of Northern Zhou, but he is not an ordinary person. You are limited to solving the case within three days, otherwise..."
"Stop!" Zhao Xing cried out and said, "Our six doors are only responsible to the court and to Your Majesty. It is our duty to solve the case. As for how to solve the case and how long it will take to solve the case, you have no choice but to decide. Tuoba Zhengshi, if you have any ideas and suggestions for this case, you can send a letter to the Ministry of Rites through formal channels, and then transfer to us according to the procedures to handle it."
Tuoba Yidao looked at the two young men up and down, thinking that how could he have met two people? Even if you Shangshu dared not talk to me like this, he couldn't help but feel angry. At this moment, a subordinate came to his ear and said a few words in Northern Zhou dialect. Tuoba Yidao's face suddenly sank, and his eyes were staring at Fan Xiaodao.
Fan Xiaodao was seen by him and felt a little scared.
"Tuoba Bai, is it dead at your hands?"
Two months ago, in the Baihua Tower competition, Fan Xiaodao killed Tuoba Bai, which caused a lot of sensation in the capital. Because both sides signed a life-and-death case, the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not pursue the matter too much afterwards, but the name Fan Xiaodao was already envied by the people of the Northern Zhou Embassy. Tuoba Yidao did not expect that the person who could kill the closed disciple of the Lord of Tiance was actually a boy under twenty years old.
Fan Xiaodaoao asked: "Who is Tuoba Bai?"
Tuoba Yidao sneered and said, "Don't pretend to be confused because you have killed the disciples of the old Pavilion Master. We have received a letter from Feige. The old Pavilion Master will come to the Central Plains in person to seek justice for his disciples. I believe it will take not long to leave. During this period, I want to eat and drink and cherish your remaining life."
As soon as these words were said, Fan Xiaodao didn't feel anything, but Zhao Huan was shocked.
Tuoba Dingdang, known as the God of Martial Arts in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, had once traveled to the Central Plains when he was young. At the martial arts conference, he was arrogant and unruly. He tied with the four major Vajras of Shaolin Temple and defeated the Eighteen Sword Formation of Wudang. He made a name in the Central Plains in one battle and was as famous as Song Jingang and the leader of the Demon Sect Yizhihua. When he returned to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he made contributions to supporting the new emperor. The court was named Duke of Tiance, but was rejected by Tuoba Dingdang. He always regarded himself as a man in the martial arts world. This man was extremely protective of his shortcomings and was vindictive. Fan Xiaodao killed Tuoba Bai. Although it was a duel, everything was in accordance with the rules of the martial arts world, but Tuoba Dingdang no matter what worldly rules he said he wanted to kill Fan Xiaodao, and Fan Xiaodao was afraid that Fan Xiaodao would be in danger.
Tuoba Dingdang is a man from the martial arts world. The court has no choice but to stop such a martial arts world.
Fan Xiaodao asked back, "Who is the old Pavilion Master? Is it very powerful?"
Zhao Xingdao: "Tiance Pavilion Master Tuoba Dingdang, the top ten martial arts in the world. If you kill Tuoba Bai, he will come to find you for revenge."
Fan Xiaodao asked seriously: "How much poison should I use or how much explosives should I prepare if I want to kill him?"
Tuoba Yidao sneered, "The Old Pavilion Master is an extraordinary person. He has three hundred battles in his life. He has never lost except for two draws. Just you, it is like a fool to kill the Old Pavilion Master."
Fan Xiaodao shook his head and said, "If a person has no dreams, what's the difference between him and Zhuge Xianyu? Let's talk about what happens in the future, but the court authorized us to investigate the death of Xiao Yilu. I suspect that everyone in your mission is suspected, so they should be locked up and put in jail for dispatch."
Tuoba Yidao said to Zhao Huan angrily, "Shangshu Zhao, envoy Zhao, listen, this is what a normal person should do and what should he say? We are also members of the mission, representing the face of our Great Zhou emperor. We were called around by a small constable. If it is spread, what kind of constitution will it be? Where will our Great Zhou emperor put the face of our Great Zhou emperor?"
Fan Xiaodao said: "Where is putting your Majesty's face? It's not a question we should consider. You should consider how to carry Deputy Envoy Xiao back and place it well."
Tuoba Yidao wanted to get angry, but he was the commander of the Northern Zhou delegation and lost his temper at the two incompetent Liushemen constables and lost his identity. However, if he didn't give up, his tone would be blocked in his chest and he was indignant. So he said to Zhao Huan angrily: "If the case cannot be solved within three days, then I don't think we have to negotiate."
Yang Deshui said continuously: "Sir, please rest assured. Within three days, we will..."
"Ahem!"
Zhao Huan glared at Yang Deshui and stopped him from the words behind him. He came to Tuoba Yidao, changed his expression that was not related to his own affairs, and said to Tuoba Yidao word by word: "Negotiation is negotiation. Solving the case is just solving the case. You can't confuse it. If you don't want to talk, then just go back to your own house and find your mother, and let Li Liangyu's Dingbei Army and your Shenwei Army fight a good fight in Fenghuangling. I'll forget about the days. Marshal Tuoba's injuries should be almost healed, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Tuoba Yidao's face changed several times.
Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has been constantly fighting in the northern borders, and each other has won and lost. Years of war has led to the interruption of trade between the two sides. However, the most recent time, the Northern Zhou mobilized troops to station troops in Fenghuangling and prepared to send troops south. At the family dinner before leaving, a female assassin sneaked into the royal palace and assassinated Tuobaye, causing him to be seriously injured. After several days of rescue, she saved her life from the gate of hell. The southern expedition was stranded. However, this incident caused a sensation in the court and the country, but the female assassin was missing. The Northern Zhou even regarded this as a great humiliation. The Northern Zhou spies also investigated the whereabouts of the female assassin throughout the world.
It was this assassination that changed the overall situation of the world.
The war was exhausted and the people were damaged. The Northern Zhou army was overwhelmed. Tuoba Ye had not recovered. The emperor sent a mission to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was also deeply trapped in the quagmire due to the war in the northern border and had the intention to negotiate peace. However, the negotiations were extremely difficult. The two sides had to make some money after so many years of debt. Is it necessary to make something? The Northern Zhou Dynasty meant that the Phoenix Ridge was occupied like a useless rib, but if the Ming Dynasty wanted to go back, it would have to make some benefits. However, the conditions you gave were too harsh, both the inner and the face, and the bitch were used to establish a archway. You have to take all the good things in the world!
Therefore, since entering the capital, they have maintained a relatively strong position and are ready to fight a protracted war. First, next year is the 60th birthday of Emperor Ming. When he ascended the throne, he made a vow in front of his ancestors to take back the six counties and thirteen counties of Fenghuangling. Now the 30-year agreement is approaching. If you want to fight, you can't fight. Only by having peace talks will they get back to Fenghuangling at all costs, so they will have the confidence to speak out; secondly, they have a trump card in their hands, a trump card that is enough to turmoil the Ming Dynasty, but this kind of thing is not good for the Northern Zhou Dynasty, unless it is absolutely necessary, it cannot be used easily.
However, Zhao Huan's words just now changed from the smooth words of the past, and he took the initiative to provoke and became so bellish. This is an abnormal signal. An old fox, an old fox, has a deep meaning in every word and action. It is very likely that the court's attitude towards peace talks has changed. However, the spies in the capital did not receive this news, which made him a little anxious. Recently, the Ming Dynasty expelled many Northern Zhou folk songs and followed the delegation's people one-on-one, which greatly reduced their intelligence collection ability.
Tuoba Yidao ordered people to take over Xiao Yilu's body and led everyone away.
Yang Deshui then breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Zhao Huan and the Northern Zhou delegation were not tense, the air was filled with gunpowder. If there was a conflict in a small yamen like Liushemen, he would probably not be able to bear it as his identity. Fortunately, the process was not going well, but the ending was acceptable.
As soon as the delegation members left, Zhao Huan had the highest position here.
Yang Deshui hurried over and invited the old minister to come in for tea. The rituals of the Ministry of Rites were noble. Although Yang Deshui had no contact with them, the court officials could come to his yamen and it was honored to spread it. What's more, his son Zhao Xing was also in the yamen, which also added points to his career.
Zhao Huan did not give him any face and said, "Captain Yang, there is something I have to remind you."
Yang Deshui looked respectful, "The lower-ranking official washed his ears and listened to the teachings of Lord Shangshu."
Zhao Huan said: "The Six Gates are the Six Gates of the Ming Dynasty, not the Six Gates of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. You are consuming His Majesty's salary, not the Northern Zhou Dynasty's salary. If you can't even understand this, I think it will be a bit difficult for you to remove the word "Shima" from the Chief of the General Officer."
When Yang Deshui heard this, he was immediately frightened to death.
When he fought with Tuoba Yidao just now, his performance was even worse than Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing. These two people mocked and joking about the Northern Zhou delegation, which made Tuoba Yidao angry and had nowhere to be used. Thinking of this, he kept saying: "Don't worry, our six doors must enforce the law impartially in this case, and we will never tolerate and tolerate it because of their identities."
Zhao Huan nodded, "I won't drink tea. I will give you a word about your career."
Yang Deshui quickly bent down, his respectful expression was like his son treating his father. No, Zhao Xing, the biological son, did not have the flattery of him. Zhao Huan said, "The way to be an official is to be capable of doing the law, and the ability of not being able to do the law. If you lack the ability, it is not a problem. Follow the steps and don't cause trouble."
Yang Deshui was confused and said, "The officials in the lower office are unknown."
Zhao Huan said coldly: "Zhuge Xianyu is too capable and too skilled in planning the situation, so he was transferred to Yingtian Mansion. Do you understand what that said?"
"I don't understand!"
Zhao Huan laughed loudly, as if he had realized something, "I understand, no wonder I would let you be the headmaster of the Six Gates." After that, he turned around and walked out of the door, passing by Zhao Xing, and Zhao Xing bowed slightly, "Father." Zhao Huan nodded, "The investigation is the case, and it will be your aunt's birthday in a few days. You have to go home even if you should go home."
Zhao Xing remained silent.
When Zhao Huan left, Yang Deshui said to everyone, "What are you standing there? Go and do whatever you should do!"
After saying that, Yang Deshui returned to the office and locked himself in the house. He had limited ability, but he was not a fool. Zhao Huan's words had something in his words, which was enough for him to think about for a while. He passed the afternoon incident in his mind several times, pondered the tone of Zhao Shangshu when he spoke. After an hour, he finally figured out what he said.
