[Bao Qingtian] Why is peace?

Between curiosity and integrity, Pang Yu still chose the latter.

Come to think of it, the contents of that small bottle were Bai Yutang's secret after all, and Bai Yutang's success in the Jianghu must be due to the "Ecstasy Soup".And the friendship between him and Bai Yutang was not so good that he knew everything, so it was better to save unnecessary curiosity.

Bai Yutang glanced at Pang Yu regretfully, but put the bottle back without saying anything.

He had a lot of strange things in his hand, and he couldn't believe that none of them could arouse the little crab's curiosity, so Bai Yutang was not in a hurry.

Pang Yu is more concerned about another matter now: "It's all my fault. I accidentally slipped my tongue in front of Huang Teng, and he noticed it, which attracted the attention of others and interrupted your question—"

But Bai Yutang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, anyway, Huang Teng may not be able to confess the mastermind behind the scenes, it's good enough that he can explain the assassin's matter."

Although he had a way to make Huang Teng speak up because he couldn't stand the torture, Huang Teng was also a ruthless character, and he was destined to be unable to pry some words out of Huang Teng's mouth, such as the true identity of the person behind the scenes.

These will be checked slowly in the future.

Anyway, the people behind the scenes are targeting Pang Yu, and they will strike again.And once he makes a move, he will definitely leave clues.

Bai Yutang's thoughts changed sharply, but he didn't let Pang Yu see the slightest clue, which made Pang Yu feel very guilty, even if he was hooked by Bai Yutang to eat tofu, he would bear it.

"As for Zhang Hongzu, since General Han has already met him, why not send him back to Kaifeng to save him from causing any trouble." Pang Yu thought about it.

In his eyes, anyone related to Bing Ji is a big trouble, and his ability to cause trouble is no less than that of himself before. It is safer to send people under Mr. Bao's nose.

Bai Yutang had no objection: "It's up to you to decide."

Anyway, Bai Wuye didn't care about the scholar's life or death, as long as he found out the truth.It's still the little crab who is kind-hearted, and is willing to allocate two generals to escort each other away.

No matter, with Master Bai around, even if he has no one to protect him, he will be safe and sound.

……

Three days later, Huang Teng was escorted back to Beijing.

Although the question Pang Yu wanted to ask could no longer be dug out of his mouth, but to his surprise, Huang Teng recruited Yeluwu as the mastermind behind the assassination of Qin Pengnian, and Qin Pengnian, the servant of the Ministry of War, The king's salary, however, has been a traitor for the Liao people for ten years, so that the military situation of the border war was leaked, and more losses were lost than losses.

Huang Teng's confession shocked Manchao.

Zhao Zhen originally sympathized with Qin Shilang, the unlucky ghost who was assassinated on the way to the envoy, and thought that he still had a wife and daughter at home, and planned to reward him with something, but the memorial from the Ministry of Rituals was only halfway through, and a yellow card came. Teng's confession.

Huang Teng is also a smart man, he didn't say that he killed with a knife, but that he conspired with others, and the conspired one was naturally the petty official who was bribed by Yeluwu.

And Yeluwu also couldn't explain clearly, he didn't know Huang Teng who appeared suddenly, let alone bribed him, but unfortunately everything Huang Teng said was consistent with what Yeluwu did.

What's more, Huang Teng also recruited several people who were bought by the Liao people as "internal traitors", but most of these people were ordinary people, even if they had official positions, they were government servants and the like. Qin Pengnian had the greatest official position and had the greatest influence.

The Qin family changed from "loyal" to "traitor" in an instant. Everyone in the Qin family dared not go out during the day, because when they went out, they would be watched by the people and throw rotten vegetables and eggs at them.

Some people even mentioned Bing Ji's marriage. The people who supported Bing Ji and Zhang Hongzu all said that Miss Qin's family didn't care if she didn't marry. Who knows if she was born by Qin Shilang and a Liao woman, and she has Liao blood?Qin Shilang is so eager to marry the prince of Liao Kingdom, is it because Miss Qin's blood is not pure, and he is worried that after marrying a Han Chinese, her husband's family will find out the clues?

The imagination of the masses is rich, not to mention that Bing Ji was born by Qin Shilang and his first wife, so her blood will never be a problem. Even if she really has Liao blood and is of the yellow race, it is difficult to tell if she is of mixed blood.

Some courtiers suggested that the seventh prince of the Liao Kingdom be imprisoned and the Liao people who accompanied him be imprisoned.There are many supporters of this proposal. After all, on national issues, even if there are conflicts between the parties, they will temporarily unite internally and unanimously externally.

Good old Prime Minister Wang was the first to second.

The old prime minister got closer to Yeluwu some time ago, and he was fooled by Yeluwu and almost made a big mistake. Now it is the time when the Manchu Dynasty is arresting spies from the Liao people. He can't wait to get rid of Yeluwu completely. Before returning to his hometown, he put a layer of black on his official voice.

The people of Yeluwu were in a foreign land, no matter how much they protested, they could only be placed under house arrest in the palace, guarded by the forbidden army day and night.

Da Song finally got his waist back once again, and Zhao Zhen also changed his previous practice of peace and dignity. No matter how Yelu Wu threatened and intimidated, the emperor said that he would not let go of the remaining Liao spies until they were caught. Yelu don't go home.

As for why the emperor's style of painting suddenly became so tough, if the concubine Pang of the harem could answer, she would probably explain it this way - His Majesty originally worried that the Song Dynasty would lose successive years because the Song people were not as tall and proficient in martial arts as the Liao people; Now it seems that the incomparable bravery of the Liao people is nothing more than rumors. If no one leaked the military plan, we have a lot of talents in the Great Song Dynasty, the art of war is like a god, and the weapons forged are no worse than others. Why worry about not being able to defend the territory?Afraid of his ball!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Zhen was finally able to get rid of those old officials who relied on the old and sold the old to suppress the new emperor since he succeeded to the throne. Those who took the initiative to serve as officials can still get some rewards; Let's find out if you are a spy of the Liao people. Even if you are not, if corruption and bribery are found out, not only will your reputation be ruined, but you may have to spend your later years in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

However, Yeluwu could write a letter to demand a "ransom" from his family. I don't know if his suspicious Liaodi father would bleed profusely for his son.

Yeluwu has always liked to play with other people's life and death in his own hands, but now he has become someone else's fish on the board. The sense of gap almost didn't drive the arrogant seventh prince crazy, but he is the prince of a country anyway , even if he became a trapped beast in a cage, he understood that the situation was stronger than human beings, and he could bear it no matter how aggrieved he was, and wrote a letter with a lot of emotion, hoping that the father of Liao Emperor could see the love between father and son and send someone to rescue him. He took it back.

When the letter was sent to the border, the Song officials headed by Pang Yu had a peace talk with the generals of the Liao Army on the border. The prince sent someone to assassinate the court official (in fact, to silence the spies), even if the Liao people wanted to take advantage of the peace talks, the prince who was dragging their legs ruined the whole plan.

The Liao officials who were in charge of the peace talks simply hated the seventh prince who made their work more difficult. One side sent off the Song officials with a smile on his face, and the other side wrote several memorials and went back. In one stroke, even if Yeluwu can go back with all his tail in the end, he will no longer be the favored son in front of Emperor Liao.

Not to mention that there are rumors that the Seventh Prince once set up a Jianghu organization in an attempt to mix the recruited Jianghu masters into the marriage team to assassinate the Liao Emperor. He has been under house arrest in Da Song.

A few days later, the Emperor Liao who received the letter still sent someone to Kaifeng. The person who came was not the king of the North Court who had a good relationship with Yeluwu, but General Wu Bulu of the Daliao Dynasty.

This is the general of the Liao Kingdom that Yeluwu said to Prime Minister Wang, "the army Chen Bing Youzhou". He has led the army to fight for decades.Such a person is precisely unable to be moved by money and interests, and he is not the same as Yeluwu.

Wu Bulu came directly from Youzhou on a fast horse, and brought only [-] personal soldiers, just in time to run into the team of envoys from the Song Dynasty returning to Bianjing, and the two sides decided to go on the road together.

It's not a few days away anyway.

Pang Yu sent someone to keep an eye on Wubulu, worried that he might do something.However, this middle-aged strong man didn't seem to be in the mood for sneak attacks and assassinations. He was very open and aboveboard, and slowed down along the way to cooperate with Pang Yu's slow progress, and he didn't show the slightest arrogance.

"The front is Kaifeng, let's go into the city first, and see you again, Lord Hou." Riding on a high horse, Wu Bulu bowed his hands to Pang Yu, gripping the horse's belly, and was about to pass.

Because he was a foreigner and came to "redemption", someone had already watched him along the official road and guided him into the city.

Pang Yu and the others also want to return to the palace to return to their orders. Although they are going in the same direction, they are taking different paths. Now is the time to part.

However, Pang Yu felt a little strange when he saw the anxiety evident on Wu Bulu's face. He was obviously not in a hurry when we first met, so why couldn't he even cover up his anxiety when he came to the gate of the city?

The few officials who were waiting for Ubulu also followed behind him and asked anxiously, "Where is the general going? Isn't the imperial palace going this way—"

However, it was useless to shout any more. The only answer to them was the dust raised by the fast horse's hooves.

Just as Pang Yu was about to ask someone to investigate, he saw Bai Yutang fly up to the eaves lightly, blinked at Pang Yu, and disappeared after a few jumps.

...It's really a tacit understanding.

As a result, just as Pang Yu arrived at the door, Bai Yutang came back, and at the same time brought a first-line intelligence from Xiao Cui who was still staying in the Qin Mansion to listen for news.

After hearing this, Pang Yu still found it inconceivable, and opened his eyes wide and said, "What, then Mrs. Qin is actually Wu Bulu's younger sister, the concubine of Emperor Liao?!"

No wonder Mrs. Qin's temperament is so outstanding, she can't tell that she is from an ordinary businessman.

No, what should be lamented is that the first Liao emperor was really willing, such a flowery concubine is simply cheaper than Qin Shilang...

Still not right, anyway, the shock brought by this incident cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Anyway, Pang Yu was already stunned, and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Bai Yutang was amused, and pinched his face: "This is so strange, haven't we already analyzed Mrs. Qin's identity, I don't think it's strange that she is the princess of Liao Kingdom."

"That's different..." Pang Yu's voice was still as if in a dream, a little erratic, "No wonder Bing Ji always can't beat her, Mrs. Qin is a woman who has experienced palace fighting!"

"Is this what you're paying attention to?" Bai Yutang frowned, and pinched Pang Yu's small chin as soon as his hand itched, his eyes were deep, "Do you like that Bing Ji?"

"How is it possible!" Pang Yu immediately denied it, wishing he could shake his head like a rattle, "I'm afraid it's too late for her, and getting involved with her will definitely be bad luck!"

Although it is a bit exaggerated to say so, Pang Yu really thinks so. Thinking about himself, and looking at Zhang Hongzu, Linglong and others, who didn't live an ordinary life before, but in the end their life became magnificent?

However, Pang Yu's own magnificence had nothing to do with Bing Ji, at most it was a little startled on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival and was almost scolded by the emperor's brother-in-law.

Mrs. Qin was picked up by her elder brother, so she no longer had to hide her real identity, she had her elder brother's protection, and the Khitan Tiger Talisman in her hand (Who knows what happened to the Emperor Liao, who actually handed the Tiger Talisment to a woman lurking in the enemy country) Later, Mrs. Qin did not become Yeluwu's roommate, but lived in another palace as an envoy of the Liao Kingdom like Ubulu.

The Qin Mansion was already charged with treason, and without a mistress, the whole mansion was in chaos all of a sudden.

The servants who signed the short-term labor for the Qin family didn’t even dare to ask for their wages and went home overnight. Those who signed the contract of selling their lives were sad all day long, or begged Bing Ji to let them go. They were willing to use twice the money to redeem themselves body deed.

Poor Bing Ji, her father's seventeenth year has not yet passed, and her stepmother has suddenly transformed into the concubine of Emperor Liao. How can she, a young lady who doesn't touch Yang Chunshui, know how to take care of her wife?

Linglong, who was still hiding in the Kaifeng mansion, stood up. She had helped Mrs. Qin with the housework, and she knew roughly how to do it.With her around, the whole Qin family is relatively stable.

Bing Ji and Linglong also settled their suspicions, and the two supported each other.

She has experienced too much during this period, lost too much, and has grown a lot.

Zhang Hongzu, who had been cleared of his crimes, stood in front of her and said that he spent time with Linglong in Kaifeng Mansion, and found that his true love was Linglong, and after he had only brotherly affection for Bingji, Bingji was just locked in the room Li cried bitterly all night, and woke up the next day gritted his teeth and continued to deal with housework.

Zhang Hongzu proposed marriage to the Qin family again, but Linglong has not agreed to him yet, the timing is too embarrassing, the house only relies on two girls, she and Bing Ji are too busy.Secondly, Bing Ji still loves Zhang Hongzu after all, Linglong has to consider her feelings...

Zhang Hongzu said, it doesn't matter, he can wait.

Scholar is the most stubborn, he can wait for ten years.

Pang Yu stopped paying attention to the later stories of the Qin family, and now all his attention was on the Liao people.

Wubulu and Yeluwu are not in the same way. Mrs. Qin has the evidence that Yeluwu assassinated the Liao Emperor, and she doesn't want to see Yeluwu. As a result, the two brothers and sisters don't want to save Yeluwu.

Mrs. Qin was even willing to take out part of the list of spies from the Liao Kingdom as a deal, so that Da Song could return her and her brother back to the Liao Kingdom safely.

As for Yeluwu, she didn't mention a word.

Of course, if Wu Bulu hadn't been so anxious to find his sister back and only brought 20 people here in a hurry, Mrs. Qin would not have been willing to give away such an important thing.

In the end, Zhao Zhen agreed to the deal. Although he was still unhappy, he understood what was more important.

Although Yeluwu was under house arrest, it was not difficult to know some news. Knowing that the Liao envoy who came to redeem him had no intention of redeeming him, his eyes were red with anxiety, and he almost went crazy.

He didn't want to be convicted under house arrest, and his death was unknown, so he jumped the wall in a hurry.

"I want to see Bing Ji."
