    The room suddenly became quiet, and Ba didn't even raise his head, but he could still feel Song Shen's burning gaze shining on him. What kind of gaze it was, as if Song Shen had already absorbed every part of his body.  A drop of blood, every piece of flesh is thrown into the fire, burning and radiating light.  Suddenly, Batu heard a burst of joyful laughter. He raised his head in surprise and saw Song Shen looking at the Buddha statue behind him and laughing loudly.  "It is indeed like this, it is indeed like this! Merciful Buddha! The world really shouldn't be like this! It really shouldn't be like this!" Song Shen smiled so happily, as if he had discovered some secret treasure: "Since it is  In this way, the blood of me and my companions will not be shed in vain. After this, the nobles will no longer be able to deceive the poor peasants, saying that it has always been like this. There will always be some brave people who will say.  , The land should belong to those who sweat and work on it!" Looking at the smile on Song Shen's face, Batu suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness that he had never felt before. He knew that the power he had always thought was invincible lay in the man in front of him!  It didn't work. Suddenly, a sentence he had read when he was young popped up in his mind: "You can't bend with force, you can't be slutty with wealth, you can't move with poverty, this is what a real man is!" There is no doubt that the man in front of him is a real man.  A true man.  "Wu Songcan! In this case, I have nothing to say!" Batu stood up and patted the handle of his knife gently. The adjutant who received the signal immediately shouted and rushed in from outside.  Six guards armed with carbines and sabers surrounded Song Shen.  Batu's face was as steely as he said in a deep voice: "Wu Songcan, under the secret order of Her Majesty the Princess, you are being arrested now." Songcan didn't resist, he just looked at Batu coldly: "It's useless for you to do this.  , I have appointed successors before I came, and they will continue to fight! " "It's a pity, they won't!" At this point, Batu took two steps forward and walked to Wu Songcan: "Tell me.  Good news for you. Her Majesty the Princess has decided to discuss the proposal of allocating land to farmers in the Privy Council. But before that, you must first eliminate this unstable factor, otherwise the noble Privy Council will definitely fail.  Yes, this is the minimum condition for the nobles to give in!" At this point, Batu turned to the adjutant and ordered: "Take him down, the treatment will be better, don't treat me badly!" "Yes, sir! What about those guys outside?  "Let them all go and tell them that as long as they stop attacking the nobles' estates, the safety of their leaders can be guaranteed!" Batu pondered for a moment and said: "Anyway, the order to allocate land to the peasants will be issued soon.  As soon as the clever trick of killing people was revealed, the bandits naturally dispersed. It would not be too late to deal with them then! " "Yes, sir!" The adjutant hurried out to carry out the order.  Batu turned around and looked at the majestic Buddha statue behind him. He suddenly sneered, pulled out the pistol from his waist, pointed it at the head of the Buddha and fired three shots, smashing it to pieces, and then turned around and left.  .  In the Bagan Palace, Diok was sitting at the desk, reading a thick stack of various letters in front of him. Diok was immersed in the pile of letters, reading the letters carefully and quickly, and from time to time he was reading the letters.  Write a few words in a certain letter.  If the current chaos in Myanmar is a whirlpool, then it is just a piece of duckweed. No matter how fast the water in this vortex rotates, the duckweed will always float on the water. When the whirlpool stops, people are surprised to find that many far larger  His more solid objects had long been swallowed up by the whirlpool, but Duckweed was still floating on the water intact.  Whether it is the puppet king Meng Ji, the British, the Shun people, the new king and the eldest princess, the relationship between them is intricate, and even the forces that are enemies of each other have not harmed him. This is simply an incredible thing.  "I order you to use any means to quickly arrest Song Shen and transport him to Mandalay. If the situation does not allow for the escort of a living person, a dead person can also be escorted. It is best not to cause a big conflict in this process!" Diok put down his hand.  This is an order from the Privy Council. After the last line of the letter, there are neat rows of signatures. Those are all the great nobles in the Privy Council.  According to Myanmar's past practice, if His Majesty the King is the supreme head of the kingdom, then the Privy Council, composed of the great nobles and great monks, is the other core of power in the kingdom. Most of the king's orders must go through the Privy Council to be implemented smoothly.  .  The new king's ascension to the throne must also be recognized by the Privy Council. For example, the puppet king Meng Ji who usurped the throne not long ago convened the Privy Council immediately after the event was completed to win the recognition of the nobles and monks.  At this time, Diok instead of the Burmese New Army got this letter, and its meaning is very intriguing.  "This Song Shen is undoubtedly the object of hatred among the Burmese nobles. It is not surprising that those guys in the Privy Council want his life, but why did they send a letter to me instead of to the king?"?What about the new army or the loyal army outside the city?  You know, that Song Shen has a lot of soldiers in his hands!  Could this be just those nobles acting behind the backs of the eldest princess and His Majesty the King?  "Diok thought secretly. As far as he knew, the new army compiled and trained by the new king after he ascended the throne was completely dependent on the training and formation of the compliant army, and it was difficult for the nobles to get involved. The attitude of some of the new troops who entered Bagan City not long ago  It was very ambiguous. They only controlled the area around Bagan City and restored local order, but they did not launch an attack on the rebel army led by Song Shen as the nobles requested, collect weapons and regain the land divided by the farmers.  . Connected with such an ambiguous behavior, a thought suddenly flashed in Diok's mind - Could it be that there was a conflict between the Privy Council and Her Majesty the Princess?  The gorgeous servant appeared at the door, and behind him stood a ragged man, standing there awkwardly, scratching his head and arms from time to time, as if his body was covered with fleas. The servant looked elegantly at Diok.  Shi bowed and said in a low voice: "Master, this person wants to see you. He said he has something important to report to you!  "    "very good!  You can go down now!  Diok made a gesture to his servant. When the servant retreated, he asked in a low voice: "Okay, what do you want to tell me?"  "The ragged man shrank his neck and asked: "Master, I heard that you are willing to pay a lot of money for useful information?  " "Yes, as long as your information is valuable, I will pay a high price. You will never get it elsewhere!  "Diok looked at the man in front of him with great interest. It was obvious that the man in front of him was a typical lumpen proletariat. He relied on informants, betrayals and other despised means to make a living at the bottom of society. Diok  After Gram returned to Bagan this time, he learned the lesson from last time and spent a lot of money on collecting intelligence. Not only did he send some trustworthy slaves to wander around the city every day, he also promised heavy rewards in the underworld. From these gangster proletarians  "Song Shen was captured by the Shun army!  "    "What?  "Diok suddenly stood up from behind the desk and knocked the pile of letters on the edge of the desk to the floor, but he didn't notice it at all. "How did you know?  When did Shunjun take him away?  " The man swallowed with some fear, and boldly whispered: "Master, you said there is a reward!  Diok snorted coldly. He walked to the wall, opened a small closet, took out a money bag from it, threw it into the man's arms, and said in a deep voice: "There are three hundred silver coins in this."  , if it is verified that your information is true, you can also get the same number of gold coins from me!  "The man opened the money bag, carefully took out a silver coin, looked at it carefully, blew hard, put it to his ear and listened carefully, and then carefully put the silver coin into the money bag.  , stuffed it into his arms, and whispered: "Master, this is what happened -" It turned out that this man was a beggar, and his youngest brother followed Song Shen to participate in the uprising not long ago, and this time he followed Song Shen to participate.  After Song Shen, one of the attendants at the meeting, was detained by Batu, the young man fled to his brother. After getting the news from his brother, the man found it valuable and ran to Diok with his brother on his back.  Whistleblowing, hoping to make a fortune ¡°So that¡¯s what happened!  "Diok nodded, lowered his head and began to think. The man looked at the thoughtful Diok hopefully, and asked: "Master, can I get my reward?  "    "Can you tell me your name?  " "Pudong, the villain's name is Pudong!  " "Wu Putong!  Diok glanced at Pudong who was a little flattered: "You should know the rules and talk nonsense. I can't give you gold coins just based on your empty words-" Pudong immediately became anxious and shouted loudly  Said: "Master, everything I just said is the truth!  You can definitely go to those Chinese barbarians for confirmation!  " "Wu Putong, if I don't have full confidence, it's impossible to go to the Chinese for verification, do you understand?  They are not easy to talk to!  Diok interrupted the other party's words: "There is only one way now, and that is to invite your brother here. Since he is Song Shen's follower, it is not difficult to confirm from his mouth whether what you said is true."  !  " "Master, this -" Pudong immediately hesitated. If betraying Song Ginseng has no moral burden on him, betraying his younger brother is a completely different matter. Diok saw the other party's look  , sneered, stood up and said: "Wu Putong, if you take me to see your brother once and clarify the matter, these gold coins will be yours!  "Diok took out another money bag from the closet, weighed it twice in his hand, and the money bag made a sound.With a crisp sound, Pudong's greedy eyes suddenly focused on the money bag.  "If you don't take me there, you are cheating on me. Not only will you not get the money, but you will also be punished!" Diok's voice suddenly became harsh: "I think you should know about cheating.  What kind of punishment will the nobles receive?" Pudong's feet softened and he fell to the ground with a plop. The sweat on his forehead was like rain. The majesty of the nobles he had witnessed in the past immediately appeared in front of him. He replied with a trembling voice: "Understood.  !¡± ¡°Very good!¡± Diok patted Pudong¡¯s shoulder lightly: ¡°It¡¯s up to you what to do!¡± Pudong raised his head tremblingly and asked: ¡°Master, I and I.  My brother shouldn¡¯t be in trouble, right?¡± ¡°Haha!¡± Diok laughed twice and asked in a deep voice, ¡°You should know who I am. What I¡¯m looking for is Song Shen. Who are you two?¡±  "Am I causing trouble for you?" "Okay!" Pu Dong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I'll take you there!" "That's right!" Diok threw the money bag into Pu Dong's arms.  , smiled and said: "You won't regret it!" Four hours later, Diok walked out of a dark room with a frown. Behind him, a servant hunched his back slightly and followed carefully.  "Go and clean up those two guys and find a secluded place to bury them. Also, I will go to Master Batu outside the city later. You can prepare it for me!" "Yes, sir!" The servant  He responded respectfully: "I will wait until it gets darker and throw it into the pond outside the south of the city. I will put two more stones in the sack and it will sink to the bottom. No one will know!" Diok nodded.  , at this time he turned a corner, and the light came in from the outside, and he found a few blood stains on his clothes. He frowned: "When did your clothes become dirty? Go and get them for me."  A new one is here, don¡¯t delay it!¡± ¡°Yes, sir!¡± The servant bowed to Diok, turned around and ran quickly to the inner courtyard.
