"The thief Cao is the chief officer of Shi Ding Liu!" Ning Ze sat in the center of the official office, with civil and military officials standing together on both sides, slapped the table and shouting, "I summoned the civil and military officials of Qingshan County, but you are unwilling to come. Why is it?"

Ding Liutong lay on the ground tremblingly, not daring to raise his head: "Report... Report to the prince, the lower official is seriously ill and must visit the famous doctor..."

"Bang!" Ning Ze slapped the table, "You can tell if you have a pain in typhoid fever at a glance. You are not sick or painful, I am afraid you have a disease in your heart! The murder of Geng Jun has a lot to do with you!"

"It's unfair!!" Ding Liutong's face changed drastically, and she lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "The subordinate is really unfair, please let the prince observe clearly!"

"In front of Gu, there is no need to act!" Ning Ze said coldly, "No one in the world can hide Gu's eyes. Hu Hua!"

"I am here!" Qingshan Prefect Hu Hua quickly stood up and bowed with his fists.

"You recruited this person?"

"Yes!" Hu Hua replied respectfully, "This person is famous in the local area and has good martial arts skills. Therefore, he was recruited as a thief, and was in charge of catching and stealing."

"Hmph!" Ning Ze snorted coldly, "How can there be such stupid things as robbing and stealing?"

"This..." Hu Hua looked puzzled.

"This person was a detailed work by the enemy country, and turned into Ma Jian to serve him!" Ning Ze said coldly, "Your vision is not good!"

"Ma Jian's detailed work? How is this possible? The thief Cao's family lived in the green mountains in the era..."

"It is a very common method to buy enemy people as a detailed approach." Ning Ze said, "You should pay more attention to recruiting people!"

"The prince is wronged! The official is definitely not Ma Jian's careful work, absolutely not!" The thief Cao Jianshi shouted in a hurry.

"There is no need to act in front of the lonely person!" Ning Ze said, "You must be the first to arrive at the crime scene that day, because you knew in advance that Envoy Geng would die. So before others arrived, they would definitely eliminate the evidence and hinder the investigation."

Hu Hua was shocked when he heard this and turned his head to look at the thief Cao: "It was indeed the first thing you discovered that day..."

After reminding this, all the civil and military officials in the hall remembered: "That's right, right! It was indeed the thief Cao who arrived first..."

All suspicious eyes were focused on the thief Cao, who was in a panic and kept shouting about the wrongfulness.

"Do you still dare to argue?" Seeing that the thief Cao died, Ning Ze said coldly, "If you fall into the hands of the Lord, if you don't give honest explanations, you will definitely make your life worse than death."

"Prince, do you say that the lower official was made by Ma Jian carefully, but there is evidence? If there is no evidence, the lower official will not accept it!" The thief Cao raised his head and shouted loudly in a panic.

"Evidence?" Ning Ze sneered when he heard this, "Gu said you are, you are, you are, and you don't need evidence! Everyone present, who doubts Gu's judgment?"

Who dared to doubt the civil and military officials at the scene? They all clasped their fists and replied: "The prince is as wise as a torch!"

Ning Ze nodded with satisfaction and immediately ordered: "He was stripped of his official uniform and imprisoned him in prison and torture him for confession!"

Immediately, a few vicious soldiers rushed up and quickly took off the thief Cao's official uniform, dragged them out of the official office amid his constant shouts of injustice.

After taking down the thief Cao, he tortured and forced confessions every day.

A few days later, Jiufeng County sent a telegram saying that he had captured Cao Ping, the sender, and sent troops to escort to Qingshan.

When Cao Ping arrived, Ning Ze locked him and the thief Cao next door.

Ning Ze personally tortured, quickly defeating the psychological defenses of the two of them, and confessed and wrote their confessions, admitting that he was Nan Cheng's careful work. A few days ago, he received an order from military advisor Feng Qiao to take action to get rid of Geng Zhi and create chaos for China.

Feng Qiao was explaining the assassination plan. Cao Ping pretended to be Geng Zhi's friend and put a strange poison that could die if you smelled. There was a secret mechanism in the envelope, which was extremely exquisite. Once opened, the poison inside would spray out and spread quickly. The poison entered the human body through the nasal cavity, which could affect the nerves, block breathing, and kill quickly.

"Okay, Feng Qiao, I'm really impatient!" Ning Ze received the confession and immediately led his troops to fight, crossing Shengyuan River, and storming towards Chengde County, Yanzhou, and asking Ma Jian for guilt.

When Ma Jian learned that Ning Ze suddenly led his troops to fight, he was shocked and quickly summoned the civil and military officials: "The four countries have been banned for more than a year, and Ning Ze suddenly brought in an invasion. Why?"

The Grand servant Zhao Tong came out and said, "Ning Ze has always been cunning, and it is normal for him to tear up the agreement!"

Feng Qiao thought about it and went out to hold his fists: "Your Majesty, I think things are not simple!"

"Oh? Why did the military advisor say this?" Ma Jian asked hurriedly.

"Reply to Your Majesty," Feng Qiao replied respectfully, "Now that all parties have stopped their efforts and focus on internal affairs is also an opportunity for Ning Ze. China has a shortage of talents, especially in the number of prefectures and counties, and the talent problem is even more serious. If there is no special situation, such major problems will definitely be solved first and will not send troops easily! Moreover, the two sides signed an agreement. If no accidents occur, the sudden attack of China will damage Liu Yuanxiangren's reputation!"

"The military advisor is right." Ma Jian nodded, "Then why did he launch an army to invade?"

"I think that an envoy should be sent immediately to ask the reason in person!" Feng Qiao said, "Now that the problem of youth and strong in my country has not been fundamentally solved, so it is not appropriate to fight again."

"General Yang, what do you think?" Ma Jian turned to the other side.

The one he asked was Yang Zhao. Because he made contributions before, although he finally lost the two cities of Zeshan and Loushan, Yang Zhao's ability was fully revealed, so he was named General Anton of the third rank and stayed by his side to listen.

Several gentry leaders who were with Yang Zhao were also valued and were named generals to serve in the court.

After being asked, Yang Zhao immediately stood up and replied respectfully: "The general thought that the military advisor said very much! Now our army is not easy to start the war."

Ma Jian nodded: "Since that's the case, I will follow the words of the military advisor! Immediately send an envoy to ask Ning Ze about the reason!"

The envoy set out quickly and arrived in Chengde without stopping.

The Ningze army was attacking Chengde County. The prefect of Chengde led his troops to support him. When he saw the envoy coming, he hurriedly asked where the reinforcements were.

The envoy replied that he was ordered to ask Ning Ze in person why he attacked Nancheng, in order to resolve the crisis, and there were no reinforcements.

So the prefect of Chengde placed the envoy in a bamboo basket and slowly lowered the city with a rope.

The envoy came to the front of the army and claimed that he was sent by Ma Jian to ask for a visit to Ning Ze.

Ning Zexin said that when sending an envoy over here, what is there to talk about? But he would arrange for a meeting to see what Ma Jian wants to say.

Unexpectedly, the envoy arrived in front of Ning Ze and took out the armistice agreement and asked: "Why did the prince violate the agreement and suddenly attack my Chengde County?"

Ning Ze laughed loudly after hearing this, then changed his face and slapped the table: "You know it well, do you want to ask me?"

The messenger looked confused: "What does the prince mean?"

"Look at it for yourself!" Ning Ze directly threw Cao Ping and the thief Cao's confession and Feng Qiao's letter to the messenger.

The messenger picked it up and took a look, and his face changed drastically: "Impossible! Impossible! Prince, there must be a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding?" Ning Ze sneered, "Mr. Feng is good at making a move. A letter takes away my important minister in Xizhou. I really think Gu will not get angry? The two sides signed an armistice agreement, and Gu gave in to you. Now he is provoking, how can he be careless? Gu wants to lead his troops to Wubao County and confront Feng Qiao in front of him!"

The envoy was so scared that he trembled and said quickly: "The prince should calm down, there must be misunderstandings! The foreign minister will go back to report to His Majesty and will definitely give you an explanation! Please stop the thunderous anger for a while, and this matter will definitely come to light!"

"You still need to investigate? There is Feng Qiao's handwritten letter and confessions from both of them. The matter is very clear!" Ning Ze said coldly.

"Prince, the military advisor is really unaware of it! There must be misunderstandings!"

"Is that right? Cao Ping and Yixun, Gu can be sure that the two of you are Nan Cheng's careful work, so there is no need to deny it! They all said that if they were instructed by Feng Qiao, would there be any mistakes?"

Yixun is that thief Cao.

The messenger's forehead was sweating. In fact, he knew that these two people were doing it carefully, so he was really a little confused. But he still tried hard to persuade Ning Ze: "Prince, please calm down and allow us to investigate clearly! If it is really our negligence, we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"

Negligence? He is really good at speaking. Such a big thing, I will take it with the word negligence?

Ning Ze narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay! I will give you seven days. If there is no explanation in seven days, the army will definitely kill Wubao County and confront Feng Qiao in person!"

"Prince, seven days are too few, and it's too late for foreign ministers to go!" The envoy said hurriedly, "How about the twelve days if you give me more grace?"

"Ten days, don't talk nonsense!" Ning Ze said coldly.

"Okay! Ten days are ten days!" said the messenger, "Can this letter and confession..."

"Take it back and let Feng Qiao see what he has to say!" Ning Ze snorted lightly, "In short, the Chinese army will definitely attack the city again in ten days!"

Ning Ze's army temporarily retreated near Chengde County City and set up camp.

The messenger hurriedly returned to Wubao County with letters and confessions to Ma Jian and Feng Qiao.

In the court, Ma Jian frowned and asked, "This Cao Ping and Yixun are really subordinates of the military advisor?"

Feng Qiao nodded: "These two are indeed subordinates of me and have been lurking in Xizhou. However, I have not ordered them to assassinate Geng Zhi!"

"How do you explain this letter?" Ma Jian asked in confusion, "I look at it, it is indeed the handwriting of the military advisor."

Feng Qiao held the letter and looked carefully for a long time. He shook his head and said, "The handwriting can be imitated. I have never written this letter. It must be because I was sowed by others. Someone deliberately provoked the war between China and our south!"

"Military advisor, can you take out your calligraphy and compare it with it?" Yang Zhao asked.

Feng Qiao nodded immediately: "There are just approved official documents in the hall."

So Yang Zhao took the official documents and letters to compare them, and other civil and military ministers came to check them.

After reading carefully, Yang Zhao bowed and said to Ma Jian: "Your Majesty, although the handwriting is similar, it is not written by one person! I can conclude that this letter was not written by the military advisor!"

"Take it seriously?" Ma Jian asked hurriedly.

"I dare to protect my life!" Yang Zhao replied loudly, "It must be someone who deliberately framed me to make our country fall into war again!"

Feng Qiao looked at Yang Zhao gratefully and said to Ma Jian: "Your Majesty, the current situation in our country is not conducive to war. How can I easily provoke Ning Ze and cause a disaster for war? This matter is of no benefit to Nan Cheng or to me."

"Since it's not a military advisor, who will it be?" Ma Jian frowned. "Can this person imitate the handwriting of the military advisor? He also knows that Cao Ping and Yixun are subordinates of the military advisor. Could it be someone familiar with the military advisor?"

Feng Qiao shook his head and said, "I think this person is not a native of Nancheng, nor is he a member of me. I am afraid it is a trick taken by other countries' advisers!"

"Apart from Hua Kingdom and I, it's Tang Niu and Lu Cong. Who does the military advisor think this is done?"
