Liu Ruozai knew that business was coming, and he also sat up straight, with a solemn expression on his face: "What important information?" ”

Dong Ce said: "First, do you remember that Hou Jiawei? After he fled, he did not go far, but went to Hutou Cottage, and now it is the third master of Hutou Cottage, the bloody case in Nanxiazhuang, he led people to do it - and it is a coincidence, the horse thief caught by his subordinates is the former Hou Jiawei's family, formerly known as Zhang Ersan, after becoming Hou Jiawei's family, he changed his name to Hou Xiaonian, if you check the file, you should still be able to find it. ”

If this news had been said before, Liu Ruozai would have been shocked and not mentioned, after all, after Hou Jiawei fled that day, his whereabouts were unknown, and it also caused a lot of turmoil and suspicion, and he didn't know where he had gone.

But now that he said it, the reaction to Liu Ruozai was not as big as he said before.

"It turned out to be this traitor! On that day, he led people to escape, and his whereabouts are unknown, and the official thought that he had gone out of the customs and entered the grassland, and had already died at the hands of those Mongols, but he did not expect that he would go to Hutou Mountain. Liu Ruozai showed a contemptuous smile: "Although Hou Jiawei is not a beautiful woman, the official never expected him to be a thief, but thinking about it, with this person's temperament, it is a matter of course." ”

He waved his hand and said indifferently: "Don't worry about this, it's just a tiger's head cottage, you really want to fight, three or two days of hard work." Jumping clowns, don't pay attention. ”

He glanced at Dong Ce: "If it's just this matter, I'm afraid I can't let you withdraw it, right?" ”

"That's right." Dong Ce said with a smile, and slapped a small ass by the way: "The subordinates are really clear about this little bit of Taoism." ”

"You......" Liu Ruozai nodded at him and said, "Go on." ”

"Yes." Dong Ce responded and continued: "That day, the horse thief said that Hou Jiawei was in the cottage, and his subordinates were already the most upright representatives of literati and doctors. People like them may do wrong things because of stubbornness, or they may frame and attack famous ministers because of party disputes, but they are absolutely impeccable in terms of personal morality and private morality.

Dong Ce did not answer directly, but continued to state the 'facts', saying: "The horse thief confessed, and the things carried in the convoy were basically the same, grain and cloth. Among them, two large silver balls were also found, which are said to weigh thousands of catties, and generally only Qian Zhuang can use this, and I don't know what the Fan family is doing when they transport this thing. ”

"It's quite a big deal, but it's a pity that it's cheaper than those horse thieves." Liu Ruozai said lightly.

"Actually, the horse thieves didn't catch it." Dong Ce smiled: "This thing is too heavy, the horse thieves really can't lift it, so they threw it into an extremely deep ditch halfway, it is said that it was marked, and they will be picked up later." ”

"During yesterday's interrogation, when my subordinates heard this, they thought that they couldn't dig up anything valuable, but they didn't expect that the horse thief would tell a shocking secret again." Dong Ce said again.

Dong Ce is obviously very good at storytelling, layer by layer, link by link, unconsciously it is to hang people's appetite, Liu Ruozai is already very curious in his heart, today Dong Ce has given him so many surprises, such a big information, is there anything more shocking that has not been said?

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What earth-shattering secret?" ”

Dong Ce said in a deep voice: "This horse thief was one of the leading figures in the interrogation of the caravan that day, and he was also Hou Jiawei's cronies, and he won Hou Jiawei's trust, so he knew more. After the subordinates noticed that this news was used again, they carefully interrogated and got a lot of information. Only then did I know that the original grain cloth was not transported to Liaodong, but to Guihua City. ”

"Shipped to Naturalization City? What to ship there for? Liu Ruozai had some doubts in his heart. In fact, as one of the few people in the Ming court who still has the enthusiasm to do something practical, as a military preparation road in the northern Hebei Province close to the territory of the Mongols, he is still very concerned about what is happening in the land in the north, and he also knows it very well.

He knew that Lin Dan Khan had fled from Dacaotan, and he also knew that Guihua City was burned to the ground by Huang Taiji, so he didn't understand why the Fan family wanted to transport so much grain and cloth to Guihua City.

This is the same as Dong Ce's doubts at the beginning, and the more people who know the inside story, the more they can't understand it.

"Because according to the agreement between the Fan family and Jiannu, in about a few more days, Jiannu will have a large army set off from Liaodong and go to Guihua City. And the Fan family's trip was to arrive in Guihua City in advance to deliver food, cloth and clothing for the upcoming Jiannu. ”

Dong Ce's voice was slow and clear, and he seemed to be speaking slowly on purpose to facilitate Liu Ruozai's understanding. After a slight pause, Dong Ce finally threw out the last and most shocking bombshell of the day: "It is said that the commander of these Jiannu army is Dolgon, one of the Jiannu chieftains. And this time he commanded the army and stationed in Guihua City, but it was to recruit the remnants of Chahar and the remnants of Lin Dan Khan. ”

"What?"

Liu Ruozai's face was full of shock, the muscles on his face were jumping suddenly, he suddenly stood up, pressed the edge of the table with both hands, and stared at Dong Ce with his eyes: "Is this true?" ”

This is already his second gaffe today.

For Liu Ruozai, who is now becoming more and more majestic, this situation is really rare. But now he doesn't even care if he is out of shape, just waiting for Dong Ce's confirmation.

Dong Ce nodded heavily, and said without hesitation: "It's true!" There is no half-point falsehood! ”

"These things, the horse thief can't make up these things unless he hears them with his own ears. Moreover, there is no need for him to make it up. In fact, when his subordinates were interrogated, they didn't ask this at all, but he couldn't stand the torture, and he confided in all his brains. ”

Liu Ruozai nodded slowly, that's right, like this kind of confidential secret, if the leaders of the two sides can't know it, how can a little horse thief make it up?

And Liu Ruozai is not without his own judgment, in his opinion, the credibility of this passage is extremely high.

Because first of all, he knew that Lin Dan Khan was dead, and although the rest of the Chahar army was still stationed in Dacaotan, Gansu, in fact, the various departments had been separated from Germany and were very scattered and chaotic. The forces left by Lin Dan Khan are not convinced by each other and are vying for power.

Jiannu took advantage of this time to subdue them, and he was really quite sure.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, although the intelligence system was almost paralyzed, Dacaotan was not far from Gansu Town, and it was still very easy to inquire about these news, and the imperial court included them, but the people in charge didn't care about it. And if Liu Ruozai really wants to know, it is not difficult.

With the knowledge of this horse thief, how could he make it up so meticulously?

So Liu Ruozai dares to conclude now that this matter must be true.

However, the moment he heard the news, he was of course extremely shocked, but Liu Ruozai's mood quickly calmed down - because this matter had nothing to do with him. No matter how many people Jiannu sent, the main purpose was to recruit the Mongols. Now is the end of winter, the early spring has not arrived, this time, is the time when Jiannu is most reluctant to fight, one is cold, the combat effectiveness will drop to a considerable extent, and it is also very uncomfortable to fight, and it will be tortured during the march. In the end, it is all kinds of uncomfortable and unpleasant. The second is because Daming is also poor now, and the food has not come down yet, so even if he comes to rob it, he can't grab anything. Besides, Guihua City is still far from the side wall, so there is no need to worry that Jiannu will take the opportunity to invade south.
