The Return of the Demon

Ning Chen looked at Lei An and ordered him to lead the Ning'an army to set up camp.

"Yuan Long, go find a group of craftsmen in the city to repair the city gate."

"yes!"

Yuan Long took the order and left.

Only then did Ning Chen's eyes fall on Liao Xingwen, "Go and help me do something. Find someone who can speak Tuoluo Mandarin."

Liao Xingwen was startled for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the general will understand!"

Ning Chen was a little surprised. He really didn't know what he looked like. He didn't expect this rough guy to have such a skill.

"Okay, then you can help me translate when I interrogate Prince You Ting later."

"Yes!" After Liao Xingwen finished speaking, he hesitated and asked: "Your Majesty, is General Liang okay?"

Ning Chen nodded, "Very good. I will send a message to him in a while and ask him to come back and continue to lead you."

Liang Jingwu has been training new soldiers since he arrived in Xuanwu City.

Liao Xingwen showed an excited smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, the general wants to capture someone."

"who?"

"Zang Wu, he is Lin Changsheng's lieutenant... This beast actually captured women and children and gave them to Prince Youting as food."

Ning Chen's face suddenly darkened, "Take it down immediately and wait for me to take action."

"yes!"

.......

After the army was stationed, Ning Chen interrogated King Youting and Lin Changsheng in the camp.

Ning Chen sat behind the low table and looked at Lin Changsheng and Prince Youting.

One of the two people was kneeling and the other was lying on his stomach.

The right court king's legs were broken by muskets and he could not kneel down.

Ning Chen interrogated King Youting first.

He looked at Liao Xingwen and said, "Ask him why he is blocked outside Beilin Pass and only besieged but not attacked?"

With Lin Changsheng's virtue, it shouldn't be difficult for King Youting to attack the city gate... But King Youting has never attacked the city, which is unreasonable.

Liao Xingwen stared at King Youting and asked on behalf of Ningchen.

The King of Right Court replied in a jittery voice.

Liao Xingwen said: "Your Majesty, he asked if he could trade his life if he did it?"

Ning Chen chuckled, "Tell him, don't even think about surviving... But I can give him a good time. If he doesn't tell the truth, I will make his life worse than death!"

Liao Xingwen conveyed Ning Chen's message to King Youting.

The King of Youting looked at Ning Chen with a fierce look on his face, and then mumbled a lot to Liao Xingwen.

Liao Xingwen said: "He said he hoped that the prince would keep his promise and give him a happy life afterwards!"

Ning Chen nodded slightly, this Prince You Ting was quite a man.

Liao Xingwen began to ask King Youting.

The two chattered a lot, but Ning Chen and others were confused and didn't understand a word!

After Liao Xingwen asked, he reported to Ning Chen: "Your Majesty, he said that Kang Luo, the fourth prince of South Vietnam, gave him a large sum of money and asked him to station outside Beilin Pass."

Ning Chen was a little confused and couldn't figure it out for a moment. Kang Luo should let King Youting break into Beilin Pass. Why was he just stationed outside the pass?

"Ask him what Kang Luo means by doing this?"

Liao Xingwen said: "I asked, and he said he didn't know either!"

After Liao Xingwen finished speaking, he stared at Lin Changsheng who was kneeling on the ground and shivering with an ugly expression.

"Your Majesty, according to Prince Youting, Lin Changsheng colluded with him... The robbery of the Beilinguan granary was a play they performed together."

Ning Chen's face was as dark as water, but he was not surprised.

He had already guessed that someone was collaborating with the enemy. Otherwise, how could three thousand people from the Tuoluo Kingdom sneak into Beilinguan easily?

"You son of a bitch, are you going to starve the people of Beilinguan to death?"

Feng Qizheng was furious, kicked Lin Changsheng to the ground, and then kicked him hard.

Lin Changsheng let out bursts of screams and begged: "Spare my life, spare my life... don't fight, please don't fight, this is all the right minister's intention, I am just following orders, it is none of my business." .....”

"Old Feng." Ning Chen waved his hand to stop Feng Qizheng, then stared at Lin Changsheng, "Why did Zong Sibai do this?"

This is simply unreasonable. Even if Zong Sibai colludes with the Tuoluo Kingdom, it must be based on interests.

The Tuoluo Kingdom is a group of bandits. Now that it is freezing cold, they are short of food and clothing. When the food is in their hands, Zong Sibai may not even be able to see a hair. What is he doing?

Lin Changsheng said tremblingly: "Young man, I don't know... The right minister's order is to send the food from Beilinguan to the Tuoluo Kingdom, and then open the city gate to let the Tuoluo Kingdom enter the pass."

Ning Chen was even more puzzled. What benefit did Zong Sibai bring to him by giving Beilinguan to the Tuoluo Kingdom?

Liao Xingwen said: "Your Majesty, King Youting said the same thing just now... Lin Changsheng invited him to enter the pass, but he wanted to eat both sides because Kang Luo promised to give him another sum of money. He planned to wait until the money was obtained before entering. North Linguan.”

Ning Chen's eyes fell on Liao Xingwen, "Tell me everything you know. If you dare to hide it, I will make your life worse than death."

Lin Changsheng was so frightened that he trembled all over and said in a trembling voice: "The granary in Beilinguan was robbed, and the imperial court allocated disaster relief funds and grain... But the right prime minister asked me to keep the disaster relief money for myself, and not to give a grain of grain to the people. I will try my best to save the money in the shortest possible time." Provoke civil uprising within a short period of time!”

Ning Chen had a question mark on his forehead.

He is now in a state of disbelief.

"How much disaster relief money has the imperial court allocated?"

Lin Changsheng said in a trembling voice: "Two hundred thousand taels."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. Two hundred thousand taels was not much, but it was still a lot. After all, the court also allocated food... Zong Sibai actually let Lin Changsheng keep such a large amount of money for himself. This shows that he is not doing it for money. .

He asked King Youting to rush into the city. Seeing that King Youting had not moved yet, he asked Lin Changsheng to provoke a civil uprising.

But he was the one who recommended Lin Changsheng. Beilin Pass was lost, so he, the recommender, was to blame.

Zong Sibai forced himself to leave Daxuan for power.

But if Beilin Pass was lost, it would definitely affect his weight in Emperor De's heart, which was completely in conflict with his pursuit of power.

Not for money, not for power, why did he do this?

The whole tent fell into silence. Ning Chen didn't say anything, and no one dared to speak to disturb his thinking.

Suddenly, Ning Chen's eyes shrank, and he thought of the first meeting with Zong Sibai.

Zong Sibai treated the enemy who killed his family as a dog, and he happened to run into him.

Ning Chen suddenly blurted out: "So he wanted revenge."

Feng Qizhen asked curiously: "Who are you talking about? What revenge?"

Ning Chen did not answer, but asked Lin Changsheng a few more questions, and then ordered Liao Xingwen, "Take them both away... Behead the Right Court King and hang his head outside the city wall, so that the people of Tuo Luo will remember this lesson forever.

Lin Changsheng and Zang Wu, traitors to the enemy, and harm the people... Tomorrow they will be taken to Caishikou and executed by slow slicing!"

Lin Changsheng was scared to death on the spot and cried: "Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, spare my life..."

Feng Qizhen sneered: "You still have the face to beg for mercy?"

Ning Chen continued to order: "Those who have close relations with Lin Changsheng will all be marked with slaves and will be slaves forever."

Liao Xingwen hurriedly accepted the order: "I obey your order!"

Liao Xingwen called people in and dragged the crying Lin Changsheng and the Right Court King away.

Feng Qi couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Ning Chen, who did you say wanted revenge?"
