Efforts to kill the enemy is not as good as the full level of tea art

an hour ago.

"Why did you come to me by yourself?" Zhuo Yue was a little surprised, "Where's Old Hei?"

A Danzhu muttered: "He, he has something to do, he didn't come..."

Her body looked much better than before, but she still looked a little weak in the wind, Zhuo Yue couldn't see it and said: "Don't talk here, let's go in—"

A Danzhu suddenly took a step forward, and knelt down on the ground with both knees!The thin ice on the ground made a "creaking" sound when it was hit by her knee.She raised her eyes to look at Zhuo Yue, her eyes filled with tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Zhuo, General Zhuo, please save Lao Hei!"

Zhuo Yue jumped up and hurried to pull her: "What are you doing! Get up and talk!"

A Danzhu shook her head eagerly, and mournfully said: "He is so stupid, I told him earlier, let him confess to you, but he refused to listen, he insisted on facing it himself without telling everyone, I really had no choice but to come to you—"

Zhuo Yue pulled her up vigorously, and said in a deep voice, "Speak well, slowly. What did you ask him to confess to me?"

A Danzhu took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice, "In the case of the theft of the firecracker, the person who contacted the prairie people was actually Lao Hei."

Zhuo Yue froze.

A Danzhu hurriedly waved his hands: "But, but he didn't mean it. In fact, he was a witch doctor who treated me. He often taught Lao Hei how to take care of us and how to use medicine through Xinniao. But it's very strange, those things he wrote to Lao Hei We were not allowed to throw away the letter, but instead asked us to hand it over to the caravan who came to deliver the medicine to us. Actually, I was also very surprised, it was just a piece of letter paper with the doctor’s order written on it, why should I give it to someone else, but the witch doctor He cured my illness and we don't have much to ask...until-"

She gasped suddenly, and said in a trembling voice, "It wasn't until one time that Lao Hei accidentally dropped the letter paper into the charcoal fire, and he realized that there were words written on the paper, which had to be baked to reveal it. !"

Zhuo Yue asked anxiously, "What did you write?"

A Danzhu shook his head in a hurry: "No, I don't know. I can't see it clearly just by burning it with fire. It must be burned to show it completely, but in this way the letter paper will be destroyed."

Zhuo Yue took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions amidst the shock.

He already had a premonition that Zhang Laohei had something to do with the whole thing.Although it seems that Zhang Hong who really betrayed the Central Plains has been caught, it seems unreasonable to say that Zhang Laohei has no knowledge of the whole matter.

Sure enough, it was the letter bird, and the letter written by the letter bird.

"That's why." Zhuo Yue organized his thoughts, "The letter sent by the witch doctor, that is, the prairie man, to Zhang Laohei seems to be a doctor's order, but in fact the paper can reveal other contents after being roasted. And you give the letter to the caravan, and then the caravan hand it to the traitor in the city, and you can pass the message to the traitor without anyone noticing."

Zhuo Yue instantly understood the reason for this detour: If Zhang Hong directly contacted the prairie people, there was a high possibility of being noticed.It is really strange that the general of the Tangtang Ordnance Institute is a sensitive and delicate position, and he frequently communicates with the outside world.

But why can't the grassland caravan deliver the letter directly?Anyway, it was a wordless book, even if the people in the caravan couldn't believe it, they didn't know what mysteries were hidden in these letters.

However, now that he was in a hurry, Zhuo Yue couldn't wait to think about it, and asked hurriedly: "Since you said that Zhang Laohei didn't know the mystery in this letter, then who was the one who directed the grassland people to find Zhang Hong in the first place? "

Zhang Hong claimed that he was not an active collaborator, but was threatened by grassland people; Zhang Laohei was just a messenger.

So who arranged it?

A Danzhu's eyes widened blankly: "I, I don't know, Brother Hei doesn't want to tell me."

She grabbed Zhuo Yue again: "But, but, brother Hei is going out of the city to find those prairie people, I can't stop him!"

------

The two people in the hut did not speak for a while.

Water was added to the tandoor again, and it was gurgling and boiling again.

The tea in the sand pot is washed away by boiling water, and the rich tea aroma spreads.

Li Changxing rinsed their teacups with hot water calmly.His fingers are slender and white, and the small tea cups are flipped between him, which is extremely pleasing to the eye.

After a long silence, Fu Wang said: "Since you know everything, why didn't you report it to the government? Send me away?"

Li Changxing said slowly: "I am not from the Central Plains, and I have not served in the army for a long time. How many guns you throw away and how many people die have nothing to do with me. I only care about Zhuo Yue. How to deal with you in the end is up to you." He decides."

Fu Wang sneered, and couldn't help laughing for a moment: "It's really interesting. From the first time I saw you, I couldn't help but wonder why a person like you should be so loyal to Zhuo Yue? A dog, you are not dead set on it, are you?"

Li Changxing was not angry either: "It's a pity, people are sometimes worse than dogs. There are only calculations and betrayal in one's heart."

Fu Wang couldn't help being amused: "When it comes to calculations, who can compare to you?"

Li Changxing poured two cups of hot tea, the smile on the corner of his mouth remained unchanged: "Well, I feel ashamed of Brother Fu Wang's scheming."

He put a cup of tea in front of Fu Wang.

"So when did you start to find out?" Fu Wang tasted the rich tea fragrance in his mouth and sighed, "I feel that the clothes are perfect."

Li Changxing only said two words: "The letter bird."

Fu Wang was startled, and then immediately realized: "Ah, Zhang Laohei must have shown his feet."

When Zhang Laohei was interrogated for the first time that day, Li Changxing felt a little strange.When Zhang Laohei talked about the use of the letter bird, he was frank and did not seem to be fake, but when he talked about who lent him the letter bird, he panicked for a moment.

"After thinking about it, you are the only one who can lend him the letter bird." Li Changxing sighed, "At that time, you hadn't resigned from the ordnance department, so it's really hard to take a letter bird away without anyone noticing it." It couldn't be easier."

"But this is just your guess, right? In fact, anyone in the Ordnance Institute can do this." Fu Wang drank his tea slowly, "I shouldn't have left any trace."

"Anyone can do it. But you are the only one who can make Zhang Laohei panic that moment."

Hearing him say "panic", Fu Wang couldn't help but sneered: "What else? Just based on Zhang Laohei's expression, you can conclude that it's me?"

"Also, who told the prairie people about Zhang Hong's story?" Li Changxing said, "The grievance between you and Zhang Hong started when you discovered that he was smuggling military rations, right? Then you should have done a lot in private Investigate and find out about him selling 'Fat Sheep'?"

"The order is reversed." Fu Wang shook his finger, "I first heard that he was 'selling fat sheep' before I heard that he was selling military rations privately. Since ancient times, there have been two places of exile, and Yingzhou in northern Xinjiang is one." , South Miaojiang is one. When I was a child, there was a man who committed a crime and escaped exile by 'buying fat sheep', so I knew a thing or two about this activity since I was a child."

The corners of his thin mouth curled up, and he smiled coldly: "That idiot Zhang Hong. He thought I was checking the accounts of his smuggled military rations secretly, so he became angry and humiliated me blindly, pouring cold water on me, but not Kill them all. I don’t know that what I have in my hands is hundreds of times more deadly than that.”

Li Changxing smiled: "So you designed so many things just to bring Zhang Hong to justice?"

Fu Wang shone, and seemed to disdain to answer.

……

Two months ago.

Cars and horses galloped hard on the muddy snow.Fu Wang ran beside him with one foot deep and one foot shallow, his trouser legs were soaked, his eyes were blinded by the oncoming wind and snow, and his nose kept running.

As soon as the carriage stopped, six or seven servants rushed up, and the people in the carriage got off and were about to go in.Fu Wang hurriedly rushed up, stopped the midwife and said, "Hurry up, we have a pregnant woman waiting to give birth. I'll wait for you here, come out with me when you're done—"

"Who the hell are you?" A strong servant shoved him fiercely, "Do you know whose courtyard this is, why are you running wild here?"

Fu Wang was pushed and slipped, and the mud under the thin ice burst out and splashed half of his body dirty.A flash of anger flashed across his face, but when he raised his head, he smiled and said, "You know, the mansion of Lord General Shen. In fact, I am one of His Excellency's subordinates. If you go in and report, Your Excellency may remember me... "

"Go away, adults don't have time!"

"It's so dirty and has a runny nose, it's really embarrassing..."

"Let's go, I'm very happy today, don't look for bad luck."

All the servants complained in a low voice, rushed into the courtyard gate, and closed it with a bang.

Fu Wang rushed two steps forward, but was still locked outside.His face turned cold, he slowly touched the crack of the closed door, and leaned against the door with his half-wet jacket wrapped tightly.

He was used to being turned away.

When I was a child, I was dragged by my mother to pay New Year's greetings in the main courtyard. The servants inside clearly knew that they were knocking outside, but they deliberately laughed and excused that the fireworks were too loud and they couldn't hear the knocking.The master was bullied by the servant, and the mother pulled him and begged with good words, while knocking on the door tirelessly.

In fact, as long as you have no money, no status, and no power, no matter where you go, the door will be closed.

All pleas will fall on deaf ears.

He was like this when he was a child, and he is still like this when he grows up to this age.

After waiting for about half an hour, Fu Wang hammered his frozen legs and stood up again, knocking on the closed door.

"Who...why haven't you left yet? What's the matter!"

Fu Wang bowed and said in a low voice: "Brother, my brother's wife is also having a difficult childbirth, and she is weak, so I beg you to do me a favor..."

His voice is humble and humble, passing through the years and blending with his own young voice.

Daddy, Daddy, Fu Wang congratulates you on the happy new year.

Who.

Sir, have you forgotten?This is the son of He Shi, the son of Xixiaoyuan.

Who asked them to come to the New Year banquet?Hurry up and send it away!a shame.

"Who made you stay here!" the servant shouted, "Come here, drive him away quickly, it's shameful."

Several strong servants strode out and grabbed Fu Wang.Both of his hands were blocked, and his nose was numb from the cold, and snot flowed all the way to his mouth.

"What are you doing over there?"

"My lord, why did you come out? It's okay, a little macaque grandson is making trouble, and you guys should beat him out now."

Zhang Hong waved his hand, walked forward slowly and said with a smile: "This is my little talisman, you are too rude."

When the servants heard this, they hurriedly let go.Fu Wang staggered and coughed a few times, then wiped his face stiffly.Zhang Hong didn't dislike it when he came up, patted his dirty shoulder and said: "Oh, it's cold, go back quickly. The midwife has indeed made an appointment a long time ago. You can't live without a charter, and you can't overstep it. .”

Fu Wang coughed twice, and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord—"

"Little Fu, you meddle in too many nosy things." Zhang Hong said with a smile, "Your brother's wife gave birth, but it wasn't your wife who gave birth. Why are you bothering so much? It's like——"

He tilted his head, and leaned close to Fu Wang's ear: "—it's like you are using the wrong thoughts about my account."

Fu Wang stood quietly without saying a word.The north wind howled, and cold snowflakes blew into his eyes, but he did not blink.

Zhang Hong patted him on the shoulder again, and said with a warm smile, "Go back, don't waste your time."

Fu Wang looked at him steadily, and after a long while, he pulled the corner of his frozen mouth.

"The little one is leaving." He said respectfully, "Today is really too offensive."

Zhang Hong laughed and waved his hand.

After saying that, Fu Wang turned around and left step by step in the wind and snow.

……

Fu Wang shuddered, as if he was pulled out of his memory.The tea he brewed for the first time in his hand was already a little warm.

Li Changxing looked at him carefully: "There must be a traitor in the city. Who can grasp Zhang Hong's tricks and make Zhang Laohei lose his temper? I guess it can only be you. But you did it very well. Clean, without leaving any clues."

As he spoke, he poured the boiled tea into the pot again.

"It seems that all the evidence points to the general Zhang Hong." Li Changxing said thoughtfully, "If Zhang Laohei didn't show his feet first, the Xinniao matter could also be pushed to Zhang Hong. People from the caravan Later, I also explained that someone helped them arrange the soldiers guarding the city gate in advance, so that they could leave the city quickly that night. I asked someone to check, and even the order to arrange the soldiers was Zhang Hong's seal."

He looked at Fu Wang: "When brother Zhuo came back, you asked him to transfer you back to the armory. It wasn't for continuing to serve in the army, was it? It was just to frame Zhang Hong?"

Fu Wang twitched the corner of his mouth: "Not only that. I just want to see how much Zhuo Yue believes in me."

He paused, with a bit of self-mockery in his tone: "Zhuo Yue never lets me down."

Li Changxing smiled and said nothing, and poured a second cup of tea for Fu Wang.

"So you are a middleman. You told the prairie people about Zhang Hong, and instructed the prairie people to blackmail Zhang Hong and steal firecrackers. At the same time, you planted clues in the city, from letter birds to orders for the city gate guards, This pot of dirty water was poured on Zhang Hong intact."

Li Changxing couldn't help but smile deeper: "After Zhang Hong transferred you from the ordnance station, he framed you for embezzling military pay. And you treated him in the same way as others. This is a good way."

Fu Wang lowered his head and blew the tea: "The third prince is absurd."

Li Changxing looked at him: "You helped pull the thread, the grassland people should be very grateful, right? What did they use to thank you?"

Fu Wang said indifferently: "These prairie people have nothing else, but there are a lot of valuable fur materials and medicinal materials. If they are sold, they will be a lot of wealth."

In fact, Fu Wang didn't care much about whether the grassland people could get these firecrackers smoothly.Although he was not very successful in the army, he never had the idea of ​​treachery and collaborating with the enemy.

He just had a personal enmity with Zhang Hong.It just so happened that the prairie people could afford it again.

It's just a batch of firecrackers, and it's just given to the grassland people.Skilled craftsmen in the capital can develop a batch of powerful firecrackers, and there will inevitably be another batch. Even if the grassland people get a few firecrackers, they can't make it out of the sky, so what's the big deal?

Presumably, Fu Wang in his previous life also had this idea, watching Zhang Hong give the firecracker to the prairie people under his step-by-step guidance.

Then in a certain evening dozens of days later.Quicksand Nest was filled with beacon smoke and the sound of flints. Guan Ximing's head was blasted into slag by the firecrackers.

The fire ignited by him eventually burned down his homeland.

Li Changxing's eyes were as cold as ice, but he lowered his eyelashes to hide his emotions, and said with a half-smile: "Zhang Hong said that he met these prairie people at the market. But if the prairie people want to contact Zhang Hong, you can’t go to the market in Yulin Pass to meet him every time, can you? This is too risky, how did they communicate and confirm the specific date and details of the action?”

Fu Wang drank the second cup of tea: "You are so smart, you should have already guessed it."

"Is that the prairie caravan?"

"Look, you don't know."
