"The great khan, every sentence that the servant said is true. Ashan is so arrogant and arrogant. I ask the great khan to punish him seriously!"

In Qingning Palace, Tong Yangxing, who was kneeling on the ground, asked loudly.

Huang Taiji's face turned pale. He looked at Tong Yangxing coldly on the ground, his chest fluctuated, and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

"I will find out about Ashan's affairs. Uh, please kneel down and rest." After a long time, Huang Taiji said calmly.

"Yeah!"

Tong Yangxing stood up shakingly. When Huang Taiji saw that, his face was pale, his eyes were distracted, and he kept coughing and gasping, looking sick.

This was on the way back that day. Because the weather was cold, Tong Yangxing, who was extremely annoyed by Ashan, was cold and angry, and became seriously ill.

Huang Taiji then ordered him to retreat and asked him to take good care of his health. Tong Yangxing's face was disappointed, but he was not convenient to say more, so he had to retreat in a depressed manner.

Huang Taiji then called the eunuch Xuan Fan Wencheng into the palace.

Fan Wencheng was wearing a thick fox fur coat, and hurried in with the scent of wind and snow. Then he knelt down and Huang Taiji asked him to get up and sit down.

"Ashan is good at violating military discipline and takes the conditions of 600 captured people as a condition to fight with Naming General Li Xiao alone. Fan Xueshi must have heard of it." Huang Taiji's face was gloomy.

"I have heard of this."

"Sir, how should Ashan be punished?" Huang Taiji said in a faint tone.

"Reporting to the Great Khan, as a general in command of the army, Ashan fought without regard to the interests of our Dajin. It is extremely inappropriate. I think this person is indeed punished. But..." Fan Wencheng paused.

"But what?"

"However, when Ashan went there, he had basically destroyed the villages and forts in the western and northern parts of Jinzhou, and captured nearly 2,000 households and a large number of livestock. He had successfully completed the invasion task. This merit and demerit were due to be punished lightly." Fan Wencheng whispered.

Huang Taiji smiled on his face: "Mr. Fan's words are in line with Ben Khan's intention. Let's do this, Ben Khan will not take his tent and fine him 7,000 taels of silver this time."

"My khan is wise."

"Mr. Fan, why is Li Xiao so rampant to this day? It's quite strange for me to think that Huang Taiji's face was calm. He played with the huge emerald ring on his right hand and said unintentionally.

Huang Taiji's seemingly plain words made Fan Wencheng feel cold sweat on his back.

He stood up, knelt down again, and kowtowed repeatedly, "The criminal is incompetent! Although the garrison king Daoqi accepted the gift from our army, he has been delayed in eliminating Li Xiao, which has allowed Li Xiao to survive until now."

"Haha, Mr. Fan doesn't have to blame himself too much. Get up quickly. This is because of the two ends of the garrison of the Ming Dynasty, Daoqi, the head of the rat. However, there is a saying by the Han people that a donkey does not go uphill, and he must use a whip to drive this. Mr. Fan has also heard of this." There was another sneer on Huang Taiji's big cake's face.

"The sinner understands the meaning of the Khan. When I go, I will put pressure on the Wang Doqi to make him understand that my gold, silver and jewelry are not that easy to take!"

After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, he bit his teeth and looked vicious on his face.

"Well, this matter must be done as soon as possible and no longer delayed." Huang Taiji stood up, and a cold light shot out from his two squinted eyes, "Ben Khan, I don't want Li Xiao to live this year again."

"I understand!"

......

Wang Daoqi's house, secret room.

Zhang Degui, the shopkeeper of the Daguang Bushang, looked anxious and stood opposite the guard Wang Doqi with his feet.

Wang Daoqi, who was sitting opposite, had a long-lasting look and expressionless face.

"Mr. Wang, I can't delay the matter of Li Xiao anymore. Lord Fan asked Xiao to pass on the message, saying that if you don't take action, he will..."

When Zhang Degui said this, he suddenly held back.

"We must hand over the evidence of our interactions with the Tartars to the governor and the Grandmaster Zu, right?" Wang Daqi sneered and said lightly.

"Well, sir, you are a very sensible person. How can you get things to this point? Why bother doing this when both sides suffer? " Zhang Degui sighed and shook his head, with a reluctant expression on his face.

Wang Daoqi is like a wooden carving, silent for a long time, and the secret room is filled with extremely depressing silence.

"Did Lord Fan explain when will Li Xiao be removed at the latest?" Wang Daoqi finally spoke indifferently.

"New Year's Day! It must be before New Year's Day! Lord Fan repeatedly emphasized this time limit to Xiao, saying that this was the last period that the Khan of the Jin Kingdom could tolerate." Zhang Degui said anxiously with a look of anxiety.

"Okay, you report back to Lord Fan, saying that I, Wang Daoqi, will definitely do my best to do this before this time limit." Wang Daoqi gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"That's good! Eliminate this Li Xiao, the Jin Kingdom has lost a strong enemy, and the lord also got a thorn in the flesh. Isn't that great? I wish Mr. Wang a success." Zhang Degui breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Wang Daoqi.

The two chatted for a few more times, and Zhang Degui got up and said goodbye.

"I hope that Lord will take action as soon as possible, so that I can also send good news to Lord Fan." Before leaving, Zhang Degui reminded him again.

"Don't worry, Wang will handle this matter properly." Wang Daoqi squeezed out a smile on his face and said lightly.

When Zhang Degui walked far away, Wang Daoqi, with a gloomy face, called out the captain Ren Guangyuan and his personal side Hua Ji who were eavesdropping in another dark room next to him, and sat together in the hall and discussed.

"Now the Tartars are so tightly pressing each other, but what should we do?" Wang Daoqi said with a worried look on his face.

"Oh, now Li Xiao has just won the Tartar general Ashan one-on-one. It has spread all over the streets and alleys in Jinzhou City, and is known to everyone in all ages. This person's reputation is now as famous as a great hero. It is even more difficult to deal with now than a month ago." Ren Guangyuan also looked worried.

"Oh, I don't know anything about it! I just regret that the Tartar Chief Hong Tai, who kept urging him, said that I would take Li Xiao's life as a man a year ago. Li Xiao is so famous now. I will go to him to take grain from the fire, and I will trap myself in with one trick. But if I delay any further, Fan Wencheng turned his back and handed us over to the governor and general, which would be a disaster for the extermination of the clan! How about it? "Wang Daoqi became more annoyed and sighed a long time ago.

Wang Daoqi sighed. At this time, Hua Ji, who had not spoken out, actually smiled faintly.

"Hua Ji, why are you laughing?" Ren Guangyuan's words were quite dissatisfied.

"Mr. Wang, but I'm so relieved. I've been thinking about it for a long time. I have a plan to offer it to you." Hua Ji pretended to be mysterious.

"Oh, what's the plan?"

"This plan is killing two birds with one stone!" Hua Ji said word by word.

Wang Daoqi heard Hua Ji's words of silence, and he was stunned with Ren Guangyuan.

"Don't keep it aside, tell me quickly." Wang Daoqi said hurriedly.

"Sir, if you want to get rid of Li Xiao, you will be safe. Now that Li Xiao is famous, it is difficult to get rid of it quickly. However, if he commits a crime and seeks to perish himself, wouldn't we be famous?" Hua Ji's face was gloomy and his eyes looked at him.

"you mean?"

"Sir, according to my understanding, every year, the amount of goods sold by the shopkeeper to the Jin Kingdom will increase a lot. And because the journey is difficult, it is usually transported by sea. So I think about it, but I can write articles from here." Hua Ji's voice lowered.

"You can continue to explain in detail."

"Mr. Wang, now Li Xiao is in Buguidun. Because he has been stuck in his money and food supply, this guy is extremely short of money and salary, so he must try his best to raise money. We secretly reveal the smuggling of Manager Zhang Zhang to him. Li Xiao would be extremely happy to hear that he had such an opportunity to make money, and he would send troops to seize Manager Zhang Zhang's cargo ship. I dare to predict that Zhang Degui and his gangsters are definitely not the opponent of Li Xiao's army. Even if he fights to the death, he will eventually be unable to defeat Li Xiao's army."

Hua Ji swallowed his saliva, and saw that the two of them were focused, then continued to say, "Although Li Xiao succeeded, his subordinates would be exhausted and suffer a lot of casualties in this battle to seize wealth. At this time, our army rushed to attack him for killing businessmen and robbing wealth and goods. Then he immediately attacked the disabled brigade of Li Xiao. In this way, Li Xiao's entire army should be destroyed with one blow! Not only can he get rid of Li Xiao, but he can also get a large number of Zhang Degui's wealth and goods out of thin air. Isn't it a good plan to kill two birds with one stone?"

When Hua Ji said this, he couldn't help but smile with a smug smile on his face.

"Hua Ji, you're a good plan!" Ren Guangyuan next to him looked excited. He thought for a while and asked casually: "If our army defeated Li Xiao and found that Zhang Degui was not dead, what should he do?"

"Hmph, at this time, he will die even if he doesn't die. Anyway, the charge of killing him must be the dead Li Xiao." Hua Ji showed a vicious smile on his face.

"Haha, Hua Ji's plan is really good. It's a pity that Zhang Degui came to urge him all the time, but he never knew that the day to get rid of Li Xiao was the time to finally take his life. Then, let's arrange this matter by you Hua Ji." Wang Daoqi said this, with a happy smile on his face, and a pair of squinting eyes flashed with cold light.

"Don't worry, the younger ones will definitely do their jobs." Hua Ji bowed his hands and held his fists.

"Sir, what if the Jin Kingdom refuses to admit the account at that time?" Ren Guangyuan asked again.

"Hmph, how could this be? Although Zhang Degui died, there are still several people who have made detailed contact with me. As long as Fan Wencheng is not stupid, he will definitely not give me the benefits he will give me. After all, he will definitely have more places to use me in the future." Wang Daoqi said this, his face became more and more proud.

The three of them laughed together, and the secret room was filled with joyful air.

......

In mid-December of December of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Li Xiao was practicing calligraphy in the official hall. Tian Wei, who had a happy smile, quickly walked into the official hall and then covered the door.

"Master, I have a happy event today to tell you." Tian Wei looked happy, his beard was beating on his face, and he dragged a chair to sit down.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Xiao stopped practicing calligraphy.

"There is a wealthy business, but I don't know if I dare to do it?" Tian Wei smiled with a squinted look.

"Stop keeping a secret, talk quickly." Li Xiao lowered his face.

Tian Wei smiled and told Li Xiao about the incident of meeting Zhou Qi, the escort clerk of Daguang Bushang on the way to Jinzhou today.

"Sir, I heard that Zhou Qi had dared to steal his mount before. He was so brave. Humph, if I met me that day, I would definitely split this guy in half with one knife." Tian Wei said this, and made a knife-slashing posture with a fierce look. Then he said to Li Xiao with a smile: "However, when I saw this person in Jinzhou this time, I was obedient. He told me secretly that in late this month, Zhang Degui would hurry up and send a large number of goods to the Tartars before the New Year, but it was of great value. If we could take the opportunity to start, this would be a wealth of money."

Tian Wei's words fell down, but there was a gleam in his eyes.

"That Zhang Degui secretly smuggled the Tartars regardless of the court's laws and orders, but he deserves to die! But how many credible is Zhou Qi's words?" Li Xiao frowned.

"Sir, this person told me that the reason why he told me about this was because he missed the hour because he was drinking and gambling a few days ago. He was scolded and fined by the shopkeeper Zhang, so he was revenge. He suggested to me that if our army seized this batch of smuggled goods, he would be satisfied," Tian Wei continued.

"Haha, aren't you afraid that he is just lying to you? How can you trust this?" Li Xiao smiled.

"Sir, I feel that it would be a pity if I don't try this wealthy person. Even if I miss it, there will be no actual loss for our army." Tian Wei saw that Li Xiao was suspicious and persuaded him urgently.

Li Xiao didn't say anything. He stood up and walked slowly in the room for a few steps. His eyes became obviously sharp.
