Ashes

Huang Taiji calmed Sahalian's emotions: "Don't be confused, what happened to Jierhalang, you can speak slowly."

"A few days ago, Brother Jierhalang and Brother Dudu hunted down the fugitives, and a few escaped. Those people were arrested yesterday, but they were found out to be Mao Wenlong's spies, and now they are suing Da Khan. , was charged with negligence and dereliction of duty, and there is a hint that they deliberately let him go."

"Du Du is involved in this matter?"

"Isn't it? Big Khan is angry. When he came to arrest Brother Jierharang, I happened to be with him, so I came to tell you the first time."

Huang Taiji thought for a moment: "Does Amin Baylor know about this?"

"I don't know, I should know soon."

Huang Taiji said solemnly: "Go to Erbeile immediately, don't tell him that you came to me, just say that you went to him as soon as Jierhalang was taken away. Don't mention any negligence, just tell him directly, sir Khan thought he was conniving at Jierhalang's spies to secretly communicate with Mao Wenlong, and asked Erbeile to stop him for a while."

Sahalian was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: "Okay, I'll go right away."

"Sahalian." Huang Taiji asked again, "Who captured those fugitives?"

Sakhalian glanced at the study behind Huang Taiji: "It's Abu Tai...so Brother Jierhalang said to me before leaving..."

"I see, you don't need to say any more." Huang Taiji urged, "Go and inform Amin as soon as possible, and tell him before Father Khan's people come to call us."

Seeing Sahalian running away in a hurry, Huang Taiji stood alone in the courtyard, looking back towards the study.

Abtai again?Haven't played tricks in a while, is this a comeback?Dorgon again?

During these days, he has been staying by his side with peace of mind, is it all just pretending?It's too scheming to pretend to be unsuspecting and unguarded.Is it him?

Huang Taiji returned to the study with a cold face.

Dorgon was sitting upright by the side, when he saw Huang Taiji came back, he got up and asked, "What happened?"

Huang Taiji smiled: "Father Khan brought Jierhalang to question, I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding."

While speaking, Huang Taiji carefully observed Dorgon's expression.But seeing that his expression was calm, he didn't appear to be panicked or guilty at all.Huang Taiji felt a chill in his heart, if he pretended it would be terrible.

Dorgon was calm on the surface, but his heart was full of twists and turns.Seeing Sakhalian's appearance, he obviously lost his mind, it must be a big deal, and he had to hide from himself that it had something to do with him.But looking at Huang Taiji's appearance, he couldn't see the slightest worry. What is he planning?

The two had their own concerns, and they chatted without saying a word until Nurhachi's people came.

The two rushed to the main hall and saw that Nurhachi was already waiting for them, while Jierhalang and Du Du were kneeling in front of him.

As soon as Jierhalang saw Huang Taiji coming in, he propped himself up slightly, and cast a look for help.

On the other hand, Huang Taiji quietly made a gesture of calm down and calmed down with his eyes.

This kind of power is invisible, but it gave Ji Erhalang great comfort. It seems that as long as the people of Hong Taiji stand here, all problems can be solved.

The rest of the Baylor ministers also arrived one after another.Amin was the last to come, and he rushed in furiously with a face full of anger.Sahalian followed behind him and nodded to Huang Taiji.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Nurhachi said slowly, "Abutai, tell me."

Abu Tai stood up: "Yesterday I captured a few people, and after interrogating them overnight, I found out that they were Mao Wenlong's spies."

Mao Wenlong was a serious problem for Jin Guo's defense. Nurhachi ordered several times to track down his spies, so whenever Mao Wenlong was mentioned, everyone in Jin Guo hated him.

Nurhachi asked, "Dudu, you and Jierhalang went to catch those people but didn't catch them, right?"

Du Du bowed his head and said: "When we went to chase that day, we caught all the people, but after counting the number, we found that there were fewer people. Maybe these people fled in another direction at that time."

"Brother Dudu, I chased you along the way you came back. There is no way to say it in another direction. Those few happened to be the people you and Brother Jierhalang recorded."

"You mean I let them go on purpose?" Du Du said angrily.

Ji Erhalang also said: "It was our negligence to let them escape, but if you say that we did it on purpose, that is framing."

"Then why were these spies escaped when everyone else was arrested?"

Amin couldn't listen anymore, and jumped out: "Abutai, what do you mean, you want to rely on my Xianglan flag to cooperate with the enemy?"

Abutai was taken aback for a moment, obviously unexpectedly Amin would suddenly force his way: "I didn't say that, Erbeile, what are you in a hurry for?"

"What about those who escaped, I will personally interrogate them, you don't want to pour dirty water on me."

"The man has been beheaded according to the order."

"You obviously planted it on purpose!"

"Then it's true that he was almost run away by these spies?"

Amin was furious, but he was not good at words and couldn't argue with Abu Tai, so he kicked Jierharang: "It's useless, you can't catch anyone, and now people are bullying you."

Nurhachi shouted: "Amin, what are you doing?"

The others also persuaded him, Huang Taiji said: "Brother Amin, you also sit down first, Father Khan didn't say that Dudu and Jierhalang were collaborating with the enemy, let alone that you were collaborating with the Lanqi Banner, you have to believe that Father Khan will give you a fair statement."

Although Huang Taiji said so, he secretly sighed in his heart that Sahalian really knew how to do things, and he knew that he was going to stir up trouble just by calling him.Since it was inconvenient for Huang Taiji to come forward, Amin could only be pushed out. I don't know what else Sahalian said to him, but when Amin said it, he became furious and grabbed Abutai tightly.

Abutai was also a little puzzled, obviously it was aimed at Du Du and Ji Erhalang, why Erbeile was so excited.

Amin sat down angrily, and gave Abutai a hard look.

Abutai continued: "One of the spies was injured on his foot, so he couldn't escape faster, so my men caught them as soon as they chased them out. How could the two elder brothers not do such an easy thing? ?”

Before Dudu and Jierhalang could speak, Amin slapped the chair and cursed: "Who knows if he was injured or not? You cut everyone down. You can say whatever you want."

"You mean I lied to you, to the Khan?"

"Hey, I didn't say it, you said it yourself!"

"Erbeile, are you looking for trouble with me?"

"You are relying on my brother to be collaborating with the enemy, and you still say that I am picking on you?"

Seeing Amin and Abutai arguing with each other, Dorgon secretly cried out. Could it be that this Abutai was smart enough to plot against others without consulting him?

Looking at Huang Taiji again, seeing that Jierharang was involved, he was still calm as usual, but the more indifferent he was, the more he concealed his murderous intentions.

Seeing that Amin and Abutai were arguing more and more fiercely, Nurhachi also repelled them angrily. He was always feeling irritable recently because he was unwell.

After everyone dispersed, Dorgon immediately found Abu Tai.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Dorgon asked.

Abutai said braggingly, "Brother Fourteen, just wait and see, you will be able to become the banner owner."

Dorgon's heart skipped a beat, and he understood what he was doing in an instant: "Are you planning on Du Du's inlaid white flag? You're crazy!"

I thought that Dorgon would be happy too, but I didn't expect this reaction. Abutai asked doubtfully, "Don't you want to be the banner owner?"

Dorgon only felt the blood in his whole body rushing into his brain: "Who is the owner of the banner? Who told you to use this brain! Do you think it is such a simple matter to grab the white flag? How many people are involved in this?" Interest, have you thought about it? Do you understand?"

Abu Tai was dumbfounded by what he said: "We have already thought about it, and Da Khan's side has actually..."

"Us?" Dorgon was terrified, his eyes widened, "Who are you with us? You won't drag my mother into the water, right?"

"Du Du let the spies go, no matter whether Dahan believes it or not, his position will be shaken. As long as your mother blows the wind with Dahan and makes Dahan feel sorry for you, then this white flag..."

Dorgon roared angrily: "You have done more than you have failed!"

Abtai was taken aback by his roar.

"You are trying to kill my mother-in-law!"

Dorgon restrained his anger, his mind was spinning rapidly.What he could think of, Huang Taiji would certainly be able to think of. He thought that Er Niang would be safe and sound, and he would have no reason to harm her, but he actually caused such a thing in the last days of his father.If Huang Taiji was jealous, wouldn't the relationship established with him over the years be wasted?

"You go to the place where Jierhalang is being held immediately, even if you are pretending to go to a demonstration, you tell him a word, saying that I, Dorgon, have wanted to be the banner owner for a long time, so you will help me in every possible way."

"Why, didn't you just say you didn't care about the banner owner?"

"Just tell you to do it!" Dorgon had no patience to explain to him, only by taking this matter on himself first, could he save Erniang, and as for the relationship with Huang Taiji, he couldn't take that into consideration for a while. too much.

Huang Taiji is also discussing this matter with Sahalian.

There was no proper solution for a while, and the two were worried. Dundari informed that Ajigen had come to see him in private.

Ever since the affair between Daishan and Abahai, Huang Taiji rarely had the chance to see Ajigen. He came to ask for a meeting suddenly at this time, but he didn't know why.

"Should I avoid it?" Sahalian said.

"No, just listen on the sidelines. If I guess correctly, it must have something to do with Jierhalang and Dudu."

Dundari led Ajigen into the house, and Ajigen entered gracefully. She glanced at Sahalian and bowed gracefully: "Sibeile, elder brother Sahalian."

Huang Taiji said indifferently: "You came here secretly, right? It's not convenient to stay longer, if you have anything to say, just talk about it."

"I've been thinking about the concubine many years ago. Sibeile didn't blame me for talking too much, so I'm grateful."

"It's unnecessary to be grateful."

"Si Baylor is magnanimous, but I can't be ungrateful, so what I want to say today, Si Baylor will definitely be interested."

"Is it related to Brother Dudu Age Jierhalang?"

"Exactly." Ajigen smiled, "I also heard from the servant girl next to the concubine, that the concubine always asks Da Khan about the inlaid white flag these two days." She didn't talk much, and she stopped talking After speaking, he glanced at Huang Taiji out of the corner of his eye.

Huang Taiji and Sahalian looked at each other, and immediately understood what was going on.

After sending Ajigen away, Huang Taiji sat at the desk with a blank face, thinking quietly, while Sahalian tilted his head and kept changing his sitting posture.

"Sahalian, what do you think?" Huang Taiji said.

Sahalian came to Huang Taiji's side, his brows and eyes were full of joy: "Sibeile, this is a very good thing."
