Ashes

As soon as De Gelei's words came out, everyone fell silent, not daring to speak out easily.Huang Taiji looked calm, Daishan showed doubts, and Dorgon sneered inwardly.

"Dege, don't talk nonsense, who will harm your brother?" Jierhalang shouted.

"It wasn't someone's intentional murder. How could my brother die?"

Yue Tuo also said: "Didn't Uncle Wu be sick for several days? Although it happened suddenly, I'm afraid it won't be too surprising."

"My brother isn't sick at all!" De Gelei jumped up, "He's just unhappy!" He didn't say it clearly, but he pointed at Huang Taiji in his words. The only thing that can make Mang Gurtai unhappy is being beaten by Huang Taiji. What else can there be about going to the knighthood?

Ji Erhalang glanced at Huang Taiji out of the corner of his eye, and grabbed the out-of-control De Gelei: "Stop making trouble, we all know that you are sad, I will accompany you to sit in the side hall for a while." Pull him away.

Yuetuo was worried about Dege, and looked around and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Daishan: "Where are you going? Just stay here with me."

Daishan is very clear-headed, no matter what is going on, don't care about it, don't get involved, otherwise he will only pay for his own life, and even the entire long family line.

Yue Tuo was naturally not as transparent as Ah Ma saw, but since he was called to stay with him, he had no choice but to stay in the room.

"Oh, I didn't expect the fifth child to leave like this without leaving a word." Daishan shook his head and coughed a few more times.

"Second brother, you should go back. You are not in good health and need to rest. Leave the affairs here to the young people." Huang Taiji said.

"Small ailment, it's okay. Don't be too sad. You have a heavier burden. There are a lot of things waiting for you to deal with. I heard that Horqin Obateji sent someone to ask for help, right?"

"Yeah, I discussed with Yue Tuo and the others, and I'm going to send troops again. I just want to talk to you about the plan in detail."

Daishan waved his hand: "You can make the decision, and I can't come up with any ideas. Let's go together and let Lao Wu be quiet here."

Huang Taiji and Dai Shan walked out while talking, while Dorgon and Yue Tuo followed behind them.

Sending off Dai Shan and Yue Tuo at the gate, finally only Huang Taiji and Dorgon were left.

"I called you here early in the morning, have you eaten breakfast yet?" Huang Taiji asked indifferently.

"No, I'm afraid you've been waiting for a long time and come out in a hurry."

"Then let's go to the palace and eat something."

"No need, everything is ready at home, just wait for me to go back."

"Okay, then I'll take you back first."

The two got into the carriage, Huang Taiji ordered to go to Dorgon's mansion first, and they sat down in the carriage, facing each other, without saying a word.

The atmosphere was a little delicate, as if something had stagnated the air and pressed it on the two of them.As the carriage jolted, they shook slightly and looked at each other.The unusual silence made Dorgon in their hearts see that Huang Taiji was suspicious of him, because besides Huang Taiji, he was the one who was most likely to attack Mang Gurtai.She thought Huang Taiji would ask something, but she just looked at him silently without saying anything.

Halfway through the journey, Huang Taiji suddenly said with emotion: "It seems that the conquest of Chahar has to be delayed for a while, and we have to finish the fifth brother's affairs before going."

"Anyway, Lin Danhan is there, not a short while away."

Is this what he wants to say?An irrelevant sentence that seems to have been thought about for a long time?Dorgon complained.

The two returned to Dorgon's mansion without saying a word.

Dorgon thanked Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji nodded slightly, and cast a deep glance at him, the gaze seemed to have substance, with penetrating power, able to see the bottom of people's hearts, and see through people.Dorgon bowed to the end and left calmly.

The carriage continued to walk towards the Khan Palace, and Huang Taiji was completely silent in his own world.

After a long time, he lifted the curtain: "Dundari."

"The slave is here." Dundari drove his horse closer.

"How long have you been serving me?"

"It's been more than 20 years."

"It's been so long..." Huang Taiji whispered, "Dundari, do you want to change master?"

Dundari almost fell off his horse when he heard this, and said in a panic, "Khan, is there any place where you can't serve me well? Give the slave another chance..."

"No, you've done a good job, so it's only good for you to do this." Huang Taiji sighed slightly, "Get up tomorrow and go to the Fourteenth Mansion to do something, I will tell him, and you can clean up after you go back. Get something."

"The Great Khan wants me to serve Morgan Dai Qingbeile?"

"That's right, remember to serve him well with all your heart, and you can't neglect him in the slightest just because you have served me before."

"The servant dare not."

"Go and keep an eye on him, watch him carefully... Maybe this matter is a bit dangerous, but I believe you can take good care of him for me."

"Danger?"

Huang Taiji put down the curtain, sat back on his seat, and a voice came from inside: "I'll explain it to you when I get back."

When he spoke, he was always calm and indifferent, without any superfluous expressions. Even Dundari, who had served Huang Taiji for many years, couldn't guess his emotions at this moment, only felt that he was a little worried.

When Dorgon returned home, he had long forgotten about eating, and immediately called for Shuo Tuo.

Shuo Tuo was not surprised by Mang Gurtai's death, but he was so anxious to see him when everything was settled.

"You mean Uncle Ten lost control in front of the Great Khan and me, Ama?" Shuo Tuo stood up in surprise when he heard half of what he said.

Dorgon pressed his palm to let him sit down, and said lightly: "It seems that he always looks indifferent at ordinary times, I didn't expect to care about Fifth Brother so much, but it's okay, it's also in my expectation, it's just a little troublesome."

"Shall we do something?"

"That's why I specially asked you to come here. It was the attendant next to Fifth Brother who did it. You send a man with sharp hands and feet to watch over it."

"Shut up immediately?"

"No, what Dege class will do is not yet determined. Wait until he finds out and then silence him. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more noticeable if we kill people first?" Seeing Shuo Tuo's worried expression, Dorgon He comforted him, "Don't worry, now De Gelei thinks that Da Khan killed his brother. Will he suspect me for a while? Do not die."

"It's not too late, then I'll go and appoint someone right away."

After arranging all this, Dorgon felt hungry and realized that he had been busy for a long time, and he didn't even have time to take a sip of water, so he ordered someone to bring some food. It is not a piece of cake to unknowingly deal with the Dege class.

At the same time, Dege, who was dragged away by Jierharang, was still in grief and indignation.

"It's impossible for my brother to die like this! When I came to see him yesterday, he was talking and laughing with me, and said that he would go out after showing his face for a few days! He also told me not to worry about it! He said no one Kill him, I don't believe in killing him!" De Gelei thumped the table loudly.

"Dege, you're enough!" Jierhalang pushed him violently and pushed him on the chair, "Why do you give a face to sweat? You don't think about what you say? Your brother is reckless, don't you try to persuade him?" Forget it, are you still confused? Do you know what you said just now, it’s cheaper to put you in confinement?”

"My brother was murdered!"

"If you keep yelling, your brother won't come back to life!"

This sentence hit De Gelei's sore spot, how could he forget the blood relationship, how could he let go of his brother who disappeared without warning.

He seemed to have thought of something, a layer of black mist suddenly covered his face, and he said gloomyly: "Have you never been suspicious?"

"Doubt what?"

"It's about your brother. Erbeile died in prison as soon as he was imprisoned. Don't you doubt it at all?"

Ji Erhalang was shocked and took a step back.

Dege approached and said: "You also doubt it? You must doubt it! Don't lie!"

Ji Erhalang's expression was slightly distorted: "What are you talking about, the life in the prison is miserable, my brother can't stand that day, and it is possible to die of depression. Your brother is also, others are because of Da Linghe The promotion of the battle, the promotion of the reward, the reward of the reward, but he was deposed, and he was depressed, so he died of illness."

"Don't lie to yourself! First Erbeile, then my elder brother Sanbeile, you can tell who is harming them at a glance!"

"Dege class! Shut up! Don't blame me for being rude if you talk nonsense again!"

"He thinks the three big Baylors are overpowering him. It must be because he wants to protect his status, so he has shot them again and again! Look at it, next is the big Baylors!"

A crisp slap slapped Dege on the face, making Dege back again and again.He covered his face and stared at Jierharang, with a trace of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"Do you know what you're talking about!" Jierhalang said through gritted teeth.

De Gelei stood firm, and said viciously: "I am very clear! I have never been more clear than now! Back then I shouldn't have persuaded my brother to support him as a profuse sweater!"

"Have you forgotten how Da Khan treated you in the past? Even your elder brother owes him favors, let alone you! You are a wolf!"

De Gelei hesitated for a while, but still said angrily: "That's because he wants to form a gang, and think I'm stupid?"

"Is it a lie that he treats you favorably?"

"Don't tell me this! I'm not as spineless as you. My brother was killed by someone, and I'm still helping others!"

Jierhalang was so angry: "I don't want to bother you! Do whatever you want!" Then he left angrily.

Dege ran to the door and yelled at Jierharang's back: "I will definitely find out the truth! Just wait and see!"
