When Sony saw the list, he became confused.

The subordinates also frowned: "Sir, maybe An Guojun sent a few more, who knows?"

"No!" Sony was still careful and stood up all of a sudden.

"Hurry, dress it up and go and see. An Guojun is cunning. If Gu Zhenhua takes the opportunity to send some detailed works, it will probably be a big trouble!"

"The adults are very worried about it."

His subordinates hurriedly helped Sony wear it and brought a hot towel. He wiped his face and then hurriedly showed his waist card to the courtyard where the fugitive was temporarily detained, Sony walked in without any obstacles.

"Call everyone here."

"yes!"

Soon, more than 200 fugitives were sent to the courtyard. They were handcuffed and shackled, trembling and extremely frightened.

Sony's eyes swept over everyone, staring at the faces one by one.

"I ask you, are you all from Henan? Whose slaves are you? Let me explain it clearly. If you dare to deceive me, I will never be polite."

The people below looked at Sony one by one, but they didn't dare to speak. Sony took out the roster and handed it over to his subordinates.

"You guys ask me one by one according to the list above and find out all the suspicious people!"

The subordinates hurried down to do things. Sony became more and more scared the more he thought about it. If An Guojun was really malicious and sent a bunch of spies, he couldn't afford to take it.

After waiting for an hour, I finally found more than a dozen escapees one after another.

"Sir, they only have names on the list and there are no other ones. They stammered when asked, please check it out."

Sony nodded slightly and sneered: "No matter how much the mechanism is, you can't fool my eyes. Listen to you, who asked you to do it carefully? I will admit it truthfully."

These people were still silent, and Sony was so angry that he waved his hand and called a group of strong men who were executing the execution, each carrying whips and whipping them hard.

"Say or not, say or not!"

The whip twisted with cowhide was suddenly hit. It was a blood mark. It would be a skin and flesh would be broken in less than ten strokes.

Finally, a young escapee couldn't bear it anymore and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Sir, stop beating. All villains admit it!"

Sony smiled slightly and came to the young man in a few steps.

"Is that right? Don't be in trouble with your own life. I'll ask you, did An Guojun send you here to spy on the intelligence?"

"no."

"Okay, I dare to lie. Come and beat me to death!"

"Sir, it's really not! The little people were caught by the escort a few days ago. The little people ran out of Taiyuan!"

When Sony heard this, he immediately widened his eyes and was confused.

At this time, a middle-aged man came out of those who were tortured. He was covered in rags and said to Sony: "Sir. The youngest is named Liu Ergou. What do you want to ask? The youngest will tell the truth."

"Okay, then I'm going to do it for you, is it an An Guojun's detailed work?"

"no!"

"Then why do you get involved in these fugitives? Let me explain it truthfully."

"Sir, the young people were originally slaves working for Prince Zheng's Zhuangzi. More than ten days ago, the young people were unable to bear the exploitation. There were a total of one or two hundred people who followed me and wanted to go to Henan."

"Go to Henan. Isn't this still An Guojun?"

"No, the young men were arrested by Prince Huaishun as soon as they arrived near Taiyuan. He forced the young men to join the army. The young men were unwilling to do so, so they found an opportunity to escape. Unexpectedly, they collided with the group of An Guojun. An Guojun thought we were bandits, so they all caught them. Then they asked carefully and knew our identities. The leader also formed us among the fugitives, saying that they wanted to send them back together."

"ah!"

When Sony heard this, his mouth was so open that he could almost stuff two fists. His head couldn't turn around for a while, and he asked several people in a row, all of which were like Liu Ergou.

Originally, an external disaster turned into an ominous situation, and Sony felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly. An Guojun was not only not guilty, but also kind-hearted and took the initiative to help them send the fugitives back.

And all the problems lie with Geng Zhongming. This guy is really hateful. Not only does he embezzle the fugitives, but he also expands the troops privately. His bad behavior is simply ulterior motives and ill-intentioned plots!

"Liu Ergou, tell me the truth, how many fugitive soldiers have Geng Zhongming recruited?"

"The villain doesn't know, but only knows that there are more than a thousand people in our military camp and how many military camps there are, so I don't know!"

Sony frowned and said, "Didn't you say there were one or two hundred people who escaped together? Where are the others?"

"When we were caught, we were assigned to various military camps."

There were more than a dozen people in front of me, and there were more than a hundred people in the military camp, and there were at least tens of thousands of fugitive troops under Geng Zhongming!

When Sony thought of this, his back teeth clenched. It was so courageous! This is about to rebel!

"Liu Ergou, listen, although you are not allowed to be punished for your escape, I think that you are the first offender and have voluntarily confessed. I will give you a chance. Now you will follow my subordinates immediately and go to the capital immediately to explain what you know clearly."

Smart people often like to think too much. Sony is obviously an overly smart guy. After he decided that Geng Zhongming might have made a mistake in his plans, he was no longer polite and asked his confidants to send Liu Ergou and the others away overnight.

The next day came, and Sony went to visit Geng Zhongming as usual, and then came to find Wu Huanju. Wu Huanju had just woken up from a hangover.

"I have sent everyone here and you have taken them all, so let's say goodbye!"

"Slow." Sony smiled and said, "The envoy comes from a long way, how can you go back easily? Besides, the Regent has a letter to the King of Zhongshan. If the envoy leaves, who will send the letter to the King of Zhongshan?"

"This, but, I..." Wu Huanju hesitated.

"Anyway, since the above explanation, we are not allowed to go to the capital."

Sony nodded, "Okay, envoy, you guys, stay in Taiyuan first. I will return to the capital immediately and will bring a reply letter soon!"

Before leaving, Sony pulled Wu Huanju and had a meal. This time, Wu Huanju refused to drink, only Sony and Geng Zhongming were with him.

In front of the seat, Sony not only observed Wu Huanju, but also looked at Geng Zhongming.

"King Huaishun, the Regent said that you have worked hard and made great contributions. If you want you to return to Beijing, he will reward you personally. I wonder if King Huaishun wants to return to Beijing with me!"

When Geng Zhongming heard this, he shook his head. He also heard the wind. Some of the nobles of the Qing Dynasty sued him. Isn’t it a question to scold him at this time? Therefore, Geng Zhongming hurriedly smiled and said, “Mr. Suo, the military situation is urgent. I should stay in Taiyuan. If the regent has an edict, I will return to Beijing.”

As soon as these words came out, Sony became timid in his ears. He was not afraid of being timid. In other words, he didn’t even have the courage to return to Beijing, so this guy must have something wrong!

Sony didn't say much. He immediately took two hundred fugitives and rushed to the capital.

After Wu Huanju returned to the inn, he rested until the afternoon before pretending to be nothing. He happened to see a man selling roasted sweet potatoes, and he took a few steps.

"Old man, give me two."

"Okay, uncle, the old man's sweet potatoes are sweeter than honey!"

"Nonsense. Is it possible to sell your sweet potatoes for honey?"

"Look at what you said, the old man never does business that is in vain, you can take it."

The old man held two pieces of sweet potatoes in oil paper and delivered them to Wu Huanju. Just as the money was changing hands, the old man whispered: "I walked away last night."

When Wu Huanju heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes. The Tartars were on the way! Let's wait for a good show below. He hummed a small song and returned to the inn easily, as if nothing had happened.

...

After Sony left Taiyuan, he hurried back to the capital. A day ago, Liu Ergou and the others were sent to the capital. When Sony came back, Dorgon called him over immediately.

"Meet the Regent."

"No need to politely, I ask you, what's going on with that Liu Ergou?"

Sony pondered for a moment, and then said, "Reported to the Regent, Geng Zhongming hid the fugitive privately, and was involved in the army, the number was probably tens of thousands. This is not only digging the corner of our Qing Dynasty, but also making ill-gotten plans, so we have to be careful!"

Dorgon frowned and asked, "Are you sure what you said?"

"How dare you deceive the Regent? Geng Zhongming evasively said that although there is no need to be the opposite, it is also unreliable. He dared to ask the prince to quickly replace Geng Zhongming for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the country's safety!"

Dorgon said with a calm face and after a while, "I have my own opinions on what to do. I don't have to give you any advice, so I'll go back!"

Sony saw Dorgon's impatience, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only bow and leave. Dorgon pondered for a while and asked his eunuch to quickly invite Fan Wencheng.

"Mr. Fan, what do you think about this?"

After Hong Chengchou was captured, Fan Wencheng was seriously ill and was also sad. He was not as energetic as before. However, he was still scheming and listened carefully for a while, and then said: "Prince, if Geng Zhongming would hide his fugitives privately and expand his army, I believe all of this. If Geng Zhongming returns to his ulterior motives, I think it would not be possible. He dares to oppose the Qing Dynasty, but if Gu Zhenhua allows him, I think he must not."

Dorgon thought about it and nodded: "I think so too, but he privately expanded his troops, which is really hateful. If I don't teach a lesson, where is the moral integrity of my Qing Dynasty?"

"Hahaha, prince, according to me, no matter how many people Geng Zhongming recruits, he will be on the front line of the fight against the Anguo army. He is nothing more than cannon fodder. Not only can you not punish, but you should also be rewarded."

“Commendation?”

"That's right! Geng Zhongming actually did this because he was insecure. You should give him enough guarantees so that this dog can work hard!"

After hearing this, Dorgon couldn't help but nod.

"Mr. Fan is indeed brilliant, I admire him!"

Dorgon and Fan Wencheng were discussing, but Sony was unwilling to accept it. After he went back, he immediately revealed what he saw.

All of the Eight Banners nobles in Beijing were blown up, and the Anguo army could send their fugitives back. As a result, the little King Huaishun, a slave, actually annexed their slaves. It was so unbearable that uncles could not bear it!

These people passed on each of them, and in less than half a day, they all knew about it. After a while, the group of people jointly wrote a letter asking Dorgon to strictly investigate Geng Zhongming.

However, Dorgon had already had an idea and kept all the memorials and refused to send them. The group of people were still persevering in suing. As a result, on the third day, Dorgon actually ordered Geng Zhongming to give him a jar of imperial wine to encourage him to serve the country with loyalty!

Things suddenly reversed, and all these nobles were stunned. They watched the imperial envoy leave the capital with the imperial wine and head straight for Taiyuan.
