Panda Khan was like rain, and the heavens and men were at war in his heart, and he hesitated for a long time but did not speak.

Xia Nan got impatient, and the knife fell, and with a knife down, it pierced Panda's other palm, and the blood splattered on the woman's face, and the woman was frightened and screamed.

"When you get to this point, you still refuse to say it, it seems that you have eaten the scales and have an iron heart. I don't embarrass you, so let you go to Hades with this secret. Xia Nan kicked Panda and his concubine to the ground, and then ordered the left and right, "Everyone withdraws, block the front and back doors, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." Doesn't Lord Pan like to set fires, let's also give Master Pan a fire and send him to Elysium! ”

Panda curled up his hands in front of his chest, trembling with pain, blood dripping down, trembling even more when he heard the words, he said in a trembling voice: "I am an official of the imperial court, this is the military preparation of the Yamen, in broad daylight, you dare to set fire to the murder?" ”

Yang Youji snorted on the side, "We have even burned down the eunuch's mansion and the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Office in Nanjing, as if a mere military garrison yamen is nothing remarkable." ”

Sima De shook his head a little reluctantly, "Master Pan, when you burned down the granary yesterday, did you ever think about the consequences?" If you know today, why bother in the first place! ”

Panda opened his mouth, trying to defend himself, but had nothing to say. Both sides know what they know, and it is a waste of words to talk about it.

The concubine trembled, shook Panda's arm, and begged softly: "Master, the concubine doesn't want to die......"

Panda was silent, and he didn't want to cut himself off until things reached the end of the road.

The crowds of soldiers retreated one after another as ordered, and the courtyard, which had just been full of people, suddenly became empty. With a few screams, several soldiers and small officials were thrown in like sacks by the soldiers, Xia Nan stood at the door and said with a smile: "None of the people in this yamen can escape, all of them will be buried with you, how about it, I'm not bad to you, Lord Pan?" ”

Panda said in despair: "I have never heard of a martial artist like you, and you are so arrogant and domineering, no wonder the ministry is doubly wary of you......"

Xia Nan was about to exit the door of the backyard, but when he heard this, his heart moved, and he repeated: "Ministry? ”

Panda became alert and realized that he had inadvertently slipped his mouth and quickly shut up.

Sima De explained: "Generals, the six Shangshu, the squire, and the governor who also serves as the imperial history of the left and right capitals can all be called the ministry, which is a kind of elegant name......"

Xia Nan grasped this clue and thought about it. He said to himself: "There are only a few governors in the world, no matter how heavy the authority is, they are only feudal officials, and they can't control the military preparation of the Tianjin Guard...... Forget about the six waiters, when it comes to Shangshu, we don't seem to have offended any Shangshu? Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Households...... It has nothing to do with us, and it is even more impossible for the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Criminal Justice...... Commanding the burning of military rations, could it be the military department? ”

Seeing that the other party's meticulous analysis was close to the truth of the matter, Panda's heart beat wildly, and he quickly lowered his head, lest the other party see the clue from his expression.

"But Zhang Fengyi, the current secretary of the Ministry of War, is a person who does not seek merit but seeks no fault, how can he have such courage?" Sima De was puzzled. After all, everyone in Qionghai Town is far away from the court, unless Yang Sichang officially ascends the throne, there is naturally no way to know the gossip about the change of the old and new positions of Shangshu.

Just when the analysis entered a dead end, the little concubine timidly opened her mouth: "This general, if the slave family can help you, can you let us live?" ”

Panda was taken aback, "Tu Niang, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Xia Nan didn't expect the breakthrough to be on this weak woman, so she hurriedly ordered left and right: "Block Panda's mouth." Then he said to the concubine, "Don't worry, as long as you help me find out the truth, I can guarantee that you and your master will not die." ”

The woman known as Tuo Niang glanced at Panda, who was gagged with a cloth, and then her eyes fell on his still bleeding hands, and she made up her mind.

"This general, the slave family doesn't know about the master, but the slave family knows that there are two messengers from the capital who came to find the master late at night. At that time, the slave family saw it from a distance in the back hall, and they gave the master a letter, and after reading it, they burned it......"

Xia Nan's brows furrowed, isn't this the same as not saying?

Seeing that his face was wrong, Tu Niang felt that he added: "Although the slave family doesn't know the content of the letter, the clothes of these two poor people are very eye-catching, and they may be able to give the general some clues: their clothes look like dragons and non-dragons, fish and non-fish, and they also have wings tattooed ......."

"Jin Yiwei!"

Xia Nan and Sima De and others looked at each other, from Guangzhou to Tianjin, how could they meet Jinyiwei everywhere.

When the matter involves Jin Yiwei, it is not just a matter involving a Shangshu, the water behind it will be deeper. Xia Nan quietly asked, "Do you know where these two people are now?" ”

"Last night, the master instructed Steward Liu in the house to take them to Yongcui Building......

Yongcui Building is the only high-grade green building in Tianjin Wei, and it is just across the street from the Yamen of the Military Preparation Road, and the soldiers of the Qiong Navy let the Liu Steward lead the way, and easily caught the two drunken Jinyi Guards in the two private rooms on the second floor. They were quite cautious, and when they were happy, they knew that they hid the flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife in the package, and wore civilian clothes, so as not to reveal their identities, but they could not escape the capture of the Qiong navy.

"Poof", the two half-drunk brocade guards were thrown in front of Panda, embarrassed.

"Over to you. When it comes to a cup of tea, I want to know the cause and effect. Xia Nan said to Yang Youji. Then he walked to the front hall and stood with his hands in his hands, waiting for the result.

Crackling and screaming came from the backyard, mixed with roars.

Not long after, Yang Youji came to the front hall and reported: "General, cut off one finger of each person, and they all recruited." ”

"Who's behind this?"

Yang Youji looked at the people around him, hesitated for a moment, and whispered a few words in Xia Nan's ear.

"Is that so?" The expression on Natsu Minami's face became complicated.

That night, the Yamen of Bingbei Road was surrounded by a large group of soldiers, the front hall was brightly lit, and Xia Nan sat in a circle with Lin Weiye, Sima De and others.

"The truth of the matter has come out, so let's talk about it." Xia Nan said to everyone.

Wei Lianheng shook his head again and again: "I said how to fight the Tartars in Tianjin, how do you feel that you are constrained everywhere, you want reinforcements but no reinforcements, you want grain and grass but no grain and grass, it turns out that the military department is making trouble." From this point of view, Huang Mengjia's mission must have failed. ”

Sima De rejoiced: "Fortunately, I haven't gone to the capital yet, otherwise it would be in vain." The Ministry of War doesn't want us to win this battle, so how can it be as we wish. ”
