Xiao Baoshan: "whether you resist Beiqing or plot, you're going back this time. It's more or less bad. At the beginning, you didn't encircle and suppress me. The national master must remember it. He'll settle this account with you after all."
"In fact, I have been putting on eyeliner in the capital city. My eye liner came the day before yesterday, and told me that Yan Ziyan, who was originally a civilian, was later a soldier of the mountain. He was sent to run by the North Qing army of Heihe Zhuang.
Xiao Baoshan said, "yes, the national master is not such a generous person. With his style of behavior, he will not be kind to Yan Ziyan."
"Therefore, the emperor must have sent me back to Beijing to suppress Yan Ziyan."
When Qian Qi finished, he pounded the table heavily and said, "today I suppress Yan Ziyan, who will suppress me? The imperial court uses people like this, which is pushing the people into the fire pit."
Xiao Baoshan asked, "what's your decision? If you don't go back, you'll say you don't go back on the grounds of poor health."
Qian Qi shook his head and said, "it's more suspicious. I'd better go back, alas!"
Xiao Baoshan stopped talking, and there was silence in the yurt.
Ye Xiaoxian stood outside the yurt, thinking that this kind of thing was not what she should listen to, so she took dessert and went to do her own thing.
……
Before long, xiaobaoshan found Ye Xiaoxian.
Ye Xiaoxian was cleaning up in the house. When she saw Xiao Baoshan coming, she asked him, "where's General Qian?"
Xiao Baoshan said, "let's go."
She was surprised, "so fast?"
"Yes, he has something important." Xiao Baoshan said, "you should have heard about him just now."
Ye Xiaoxian was embarrassed and said, "I just wanted to send you tea and snacks. I knew you were discussing important matters, so I didn't go in."
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Baoshan said, "you are not an outsider."
Ye Xiaoxian blushed and simply asked, "General Qian is going back. What about you? Do you want to follow?"
"No!" Xiao Baoshan said, "the emperor and national teachers may not know I'm still alive."
"But..." Ye Xiaoxian thought that he usually saw books about military methods. She thought he loved the battlefield and might go back one day.
Xiao Baoshan said, "this is not the time to need me. General Qian can handle his affairs."
That is to leave sooner or later.
Sure enough, he said after a while: "leaf, if one day General Qian needs me, or the court needs me, I will leave here temporarily..."
Before he finished, ye Xiaoxian interrupted him: "come back alive."
He was stunned.
She added, "I mean, you can go, but you must come back alive."
Xiao Baoshan was stunned for a moment, then went over and took her into his arms.
……
In other words, Mahal and dati finally arrived in Da'an county a month ago.
However, after arriving in Da'an County, Mahal felt that it was inappropriate to sue officials in Da'an county. Da'an county and Baoning city were not far away. What officials and guards are said now. What if the county magistrate of Da'an county also walked with the sixth and seventh princes?
So the couple bit their teeth and went to DINGHE county again.
When they arrived in DINGHE County, they were relieved.
DINGHE county is full of people from the Central Plains, and there are many people. The county yamen is much larger than Da'an county.
When Mahal arrived at the yamen, he asked the guard, "I seem to have found a wanted criminal, but I'm not sure, so I want to ask the official to show us the portraits of the wanted criminals in the past."
The guard asked him, "you mean, you found someone suspected of being wanted?"
"Yes, yes..." Mahal looked left and right, and then said, "that's a child."
The guard thought Mahal was coming to make trouble and wanted to drive him away: "go, don't make trouble here. Where do the wanted criminals have children?"
"Really not? I remember last year, there was a prime minister Xun. He fled here with a grandson."
The guard was stunned. After a while, he ran back to the Yamen.
Mahal and tanti are very nervous outside.
Although they were very arrogant in the tribe, they didn't dare to make a mistake when they went out of the tribe and came to a place full of Central Plains people.
After a while, the guard came out again and let Mahal and his wife in.
When they arrived at the yamen, they saw an official sitting in front of the desk in the middle. That person should be the magistrate of DINGHE county.
Last year, when officers and soldiers came to hunt down Prime Minister Xun, they only got the body of prime minister Xun, but they didn't find little Xunzi. The officers and soldiers spread the news to the government yamen along the road. As soon as there was news about Xiao Xunzi, they immediately reported it.
This is an opportunity for meritorious service. The magistrate of DINGHE County dare not forget. Now, as soon as he saw Mahal, he immediately asked, "you said you have news of the grandson of prime minister Xun?"
Mahal nodded and said: "it's just... I doubt it, because last year, a little boy, about seven or eight years old, came to the tribe. He was so tall and looked very good, like the boy who recruited money in the New Year picture..."
The county magistrate interrupted him: "nonsense, how can a wanted criminal compare with a boy who recruits money? What do you think he looks like?"
Mahal quickly put it another way: "it's big eyes... Big, white complexion, red lips and white teeth, wearing a braid."
The magistrate immediately turned out the past portraits, found a portrait of a child in a pile of wanted criminals, took it out and asked Mahal, "is it him?"
Although the person on the portrait can be recognized at a glance as Xiao Xunzi, Mahal looked at it carefully to avoid making mistakes.
If you make a mistake, the consequences are very serious. It's hard to say that he and Tanty will be beheaded.
Tanti couldn't wait. She said, "yes, that's him. That's him. The new boy from the tribe is the man in this portrait."
Mahal also confirmed it. He was sure, "yes, it's him."
Mahal told the county magistrate his identity and said that he was originally the head of the tribe. Unexpectedly, many refugees came to the tribe. Now their tribe has been ruled by others. How do those people do evil in the tribe, how to shield criminals, and how pitiful he is.
……
The magistrate first sent Mahal away, and then immediately wrote an urgent letter to the National Teachers' house.
As soon as the national master finished dealing with Yan Ziyan, he received this urgent letter.
His eyes narrowed as he stared at the urgent letter.
Baoning city... Tribe... Patriarch... And a group of Central Plains people?
Before, I sent a subordinate to investigate, but failed. It turned out that he hid in the tribe at the foot of Tianshan Mountain.
The national master did not go to visit this time, but sent one of his Duwei to explore. This Duwei knew little Xunzi and could not admit his mistake.
In addition to Du Wei, he also sent dozens of experts to stand by behind Du Wei.
He should not only find out the relationship between these Central Plains people and Xiao Xunzi, but also find out the relationship between Xiao Xunzi and the six kings and the seven kings. If there is a relationship, the six kings and the seven kings will not escape responsibility!
……
The captain set out as soon as he received the order.
When he arrived in Da'an County, he disguised himself as a salesman.
Mahal is still waiting at a small inn in Da'an county. When Duwei comes, he takes Duwei straight to the tribe.
Mahal grew up in the tribe when he was young. He knew how to avoid Baoning city and go directly to the tribe. In addition, he was a local and did business everywhere all the year round. He had brought back a salesman before, so he didn't attract the attention of relevant personnel after he brought Du Wei in.
When he arrived at the tribe, Mahal asked Duwei to carry two loads of goods and sell them door to door.
Soon, he arrived at the tribe of Ye Xiaoxian.
The children in the tribe like the peddler most. As soon as there is a peddler, they will rush out excitedly to see what the peddler here sells and whether there are delicious sweets.
In addition to daily necessities, Duwei also sells some preserves and jujube cakes from the Central Plains.
He was Hawking and watching the children around him.
One of the little boys, with white skin, red lips and white teeth, is not that little Xunzi?
Although he was dressed in local clothes and mixed with a pile of dirty children, Du Wei determined that he was Xiao Xunzi.
The lieutenant looked around the tribe again.
People here look very busy, like a workshop, busy killing cattle, drying beef, picking cotton and cutting firewood, in order.
Moreover, most of the original Chinese people here speak the Central Plains dialect when communicating.
Du Wei heard from Mahal that these people came two years ago. They should have little to do with little Xunzi. I don't know if they are temporary Xunzi.
But Duwei didn't dare to take it lightly. I heard that these people were very close to the seventh Lord. Maybe they were collecting money for the seventh Lord.
Duwei came for two or three days and saw xiaobaoshan.
Fortunately, he had only heard the name of Xiaobao mountain before and had never seen the native of Xiaobao mountain. He just felt that this man was tall and didn't look like an ordinary tribal man.
Anyway, Duwei has determined one thing, that is, Xiao Xunzi is in this tribe.
After leaving the tribe, he immediately repaired a letter and rushed it to the capital.
……
palace.
The national master angrily took the letter to see Li Chengkun.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has recently found out something that really wants to annoy the old minister. It turns out that the grandson of the former prime minister is in Baoning city. The six kings and the seven kings hid him."
Li Chengkun was also surprised: "Oh? Is it serious?"
"I didn't believe it at the very beginning," I said. "Then I sent someone to check it out. My former captain used to be placed in the eyelid of the prime minister's office. No one knew the little Xunzi better than he did, and the letter he sent back would not be false."
Li Chengkun's eyes suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of fog: "sixth brother and seventh brother, why did you do such things?"
"I think they must want to rebel. Even if they don't rebel, it's against your majesty. The old minister suggested that they recall the two people to the capital first, and then catch the little Xunzi. Then they confront each other and see if they admit it!"
