Yanyun began to be chaotic, in Yanjing City, several grain stores were killed and overhauled, and seven or eight gangs of bandits were squeezed into the Yanshan Mountain Range.

Yelu Yixin, the privy envoy of the Southern Court, led a large army to pursue and suppress the Liukou, and chased after him, and when he reached the seaside, there was no one left.

Just when Yelu Yixin was annoyed, he turned his head and heard that there were bandits in Yanjing City.

Yelu Yixin was a little confused, it has been more than one hundred and twenty years since the sixteen states of Yanyun were in the hands of the Liao State, and in the past seventy or eighty years, the sixteen states of Yanyun have long been operated by the Liao State into an iron plate, and the things that really came to light have slowly disappeared, why is everything all right all of a sudden, and suddenly there are so many rebels?

Yelu Yixin was also a little anxious, he became the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, but it was only three or four months, and he had just sorted out the clues of the sixteen states of Yanyun, why did such a big thing happen all of a sudden?

Yelu Yixin's first reaction was that someone in the court wanted to harm him, and some people couldn't get used to him being the "king of the Southern Courtyard".

He even began to think carefully in this direction, who has this ability in the court? Who could launch so many rebellions in Yanjing?

It's not that Yelu Yixin is not smart and doesn't know how to think about this kind of thing to foreign enemies. But today's Daliao, in fact, has no foreign enemies. Great Song? Obviously, it is no longer the foreign enemy of Liao, the Khitan people have long seen through the face of the Song people, the former Song people have a bit of backbone, and the current Song people have already become cowards.

It was the Khitan warriors at the bottom, and when they arrived in Bianliang City of the Great Song Dynasty, they also walked sideways, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty did not dare to provoke them. But whenever there is a dispute between Liao and Song, Liao is the tough side, and Song is the compromise side.

Even when the Liao State proposed to the Song to increase the amount of New Year's coins, the Song people didn't dare to put one.

Song has become an instigant, and the Khitan nobles have long stopped taking Song in their eyes.

If someone said to Yelu Yixin, all this is a big conspiracy of the Song people, Yelu Yixin may laugh, the Tanyuan Alliance has passed for almost sixty years, a Jiazi, now in the memory of the Liao people, no one remembers what is so powerful about the Song Dynasty, the Song has already become the object of ridicule of the Liao people, the Great Song Dynasty for sixty years, you tell me this?

Yelu Yixin felt that there was a crisis lurking around him, and the crisis came from the DPRK and China.

When he knew that all of Ma's henchmen had been slaughtered, Yelu Yixin was even more firm in this idea, because he had just regarded Ma's henchmen as his henchmen, and his henchmen were immediately killed.

Yelu Yixin even thought about it a little more, and the recent skyrocketing price of Yanyun's grain...... Isn't there also a mastermind behind it?

The Ma side even posted money to ensure the supply of the army, which was a great help to Yelu Yixin, and now the Ma side was killed, and the family's money was gone, didn't someone want to see Yan Yun's army also mess up?

Conspiracy, one by one, one by one, Yelu Yixin felt that these things were directed at him, and someone was really designing to frame him.

After thinking about it so much, Yelu Yixin immediately lost the mind to chase down the missing rogues for the time being, turned around and went straight to Yanjing City, and went straight to his lair.

Back in Yanjing City, Yelu Yixin took the talisman, first strengthened the city defense, and then immediately sent someone to summon Han Caiqing, the dazzling head of the Han family, to see, he was eager to figure out one thing, Han Caiqing is an old fox, no more than ordinary people, but Yelu Yixin also has some understanding of the current Han family.

The Han family is very smart, since the death of the regent Han Derang, the Han family is very low-key, at least in politics and officialdom, the reason why the Han family can still eat Han Derang's political legacy is because of this low-key attitude, not to squander the face left by the ancestors, and even often help some old people.

Yelu Yixin believes that Han Caiqing still has such smart political wisdom.

So he must learn some behind-the-scenes things from Han Caiqing, such as why are food prices soaring?

The "King of the Southern Courtyard" called him, and although Han Caiqing was dazzled, he still came in a car.

After the visit, Han Caiqing also seemed to be extremely cautious, he knew what had happened recently, and he knew that he should not be involved, otherwise this Han family would enter the whirlpool.

So Han Caiqing sat down, the old god was there, and he didn't take the initiative to speak.

Yelu Yixin opened his mouth and said: "Come in and invite Han Lao to come, just to ask about something, and ask Han Lao to tell the truth." ”

Han Caiqing nodded: "The old man knows everything, and he can't talk endlessly." ”

"Well, you are worthy of being the son and grandson of the regent, and you are loyal to my Daliao. I don't want to see the incident of Xiao Wall in my Daliao, so I just want to ask Han Lao, is there anyone manipulating behind the soaring food prices? "Jereyisin just wanted to know who was manipulating.

Han Caiqing thought for a while and said slowly: "If Ma Fang is still alive at this time, you can ask him, then you can know the exact answer." At this time, you come to ask the old man, but the old man does not dare to answer at will. ”

"Oh? Does the horse know the exact answer? But why was he killed? Not only was he killed, but none of the people in the heart of the family were spared. Can Han Lao guess one or two? Yelu Yixin felt that there was a lot of fog in it.

"The old man also wondered, why was the horse side killed, and the people walking around him were also killed, isn't it killing people?" Han Caiqing really has this doubt, and he really wants to talk about it, Han Caiqing also feels that the skyrocketing food prices are inseparable from the Ma side, but the depth of the relationship is unknown.

"Han Lao's meaning, didn't he mean that the horse side eats inside and out?" Yelu Yixin asked bluntly.

Han Caiqing didn't dare to answer like this, so he could only say: "Old man doesn't dare to speculate so wildly, but old man knows that Ma Fang must know the details." ”

Yelu Yixin thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Ma Fang will not do that thing of eating inside and outside, when the price of grain skyrockets, he also pays for military rations by himself, if he eats inside and outside, this matter will not make sense." ”

Han Caiqing thought for a while, and then said: "The old man can be sure that behind this matter, there must be a black hand behind it. But if the privy envoy wants to ask the old man if he knows who it is, the old man really doesn't know. ”

Han Caiqing can be regarded as saying everything he can guess, and as for what Yelu Yixin thinks, he can't care. The Han family is still the smart Han family, and the privy envoys have no effect on the thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city.

Yelu Yixin can be regarded as achieving a certain goal, but he said: "How can I quickly suppress the price of grain, please ask Han Lao to teach me." ”

Han Caiqing said slowly: "If it was two months ago, the old man could still help the privy envoy in this matter, at that time, the old man still had a lot of grain in his hands, and he could sell it at a low price, and the price of grain would naturally drop a lot." Now, now there is only one way! ”

"Please make it clear to Mr. Han!"

"All the granaries of the grain merchants in the city were raided, and the Privy Council bought them all at the price of seven hundred dollars a stone. Then sell it at parity. "Han Caiqing's own money is in place, as for those grain merchants, he can't control it, anyway, the way is out, what Yelu Yixin does is Yelu Yixin's business.

"This ......" Yelu Yixin hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This Yanyun officialdom, I have just straightened it out, if I act like this, it will inevitably cause public anger, isn't it the trick of the mastermind behind the scenes?" When the time comes, the court will impeach me, and there will be no one to speak for me. ”

Yelu Yixin understands that those big grain merchants can take root in the land of Yanjing and do big business, and the interests must be complicated.

At that time, some people in the court made trouble, saying that Yelu Yixin's governance was ineffective, and the officials forced the people to rebel, which caused Yanyun to be resentful and bandits were rampant everywhere. Yelu Yixin had no way to prove his innocence, but many officials under his command still wished that he, the privy envoy, would get out of the way as soon as possible.

This way, obviously, will not work. At least it doesn't work on the surface, at least Yelu Yixin can't come out to carry the black pot by himself, and the people under his own command still have to be contained.

Han Caiqing heard Yelu Yixin say this, and shook his head: "Then there is nothing that can be done about the old decay." ”

Han Caiqing's words just now were just good, if Han Caiqing really had a large amount of grain in hand at this time, he would not be willing to sell it at a low price. It was because Han Caiqing had earned all the money in his pocket that he would say this kind of afterthought.

"Can Elder Han help me guess?" Yelu Yixin's words were a temptation, and he still had some doubts, suspecting that Han Caiqing might have known about those things under the table. After all, the Han family has an extremely wide range of contacts in officialdom.

Han Caiqing shook his head: "This kind of thing, the old man doesn't dare to speculate wildly." ”

Yelu Yixin didn't let go of Han Caiqing, his eyes stared at the expression on Han Caiqing's face, and then said, "Isn't it Queen Xiao?" ”

The expression on Han Caiqing's face did not change at all.

Yelu Yixin said again: "Isn't Mo the prince? ”

The expression on Han Caiqing's face did not change at all.

Yelu Yixin couldn't, so he had to nod: "Then there is Lao Han, and I will send someone to send Han Lao back." ”

"No need, the old man has his own frame, and he doesn't dare to bother the privy envoy." Han Caiqing was also in a bad mood, Yelu Yixin was obviously suspicious of him and obviously testing him. Han Caiqing really didn't know what was going on behind the scenes, how could he feel comfortable when he was so suspicious of Yelu Yixin?

"Han Lao forgives, there is no way to do it, come, please! personally sent Han Lao out and got into the car. Yelu Yixin also knew that he had gone too far just now, and this was an apology.

It's just that Yelu Yixin just went out, and someone stepped forward and knelt down to report: "Qi Qi Privy Envoy, Datong emergency military situation, Datong City, suddenly gathered Liukou to count money, loot a few times, flow north, and have entered the mountain." ”

Yelu Yixin's face was shocked: "What? Why did Datong also become a rogue? ”

"Villain...... Ignorance. ”

Han Caiqing shook his head, sighed, and said in his heart: It's all about food.

But Han Caiqing didn't say it directly this time.

"Hurry up and get up the bell and summon a hundred officials to discuss matters!" Yelu Yixin was in a hurry and hurried away.

Han Caiqing slowly went out alone, shaking his head for a while, sighing for a while, after going back, he would also gather the clansmen to discuss matters and organize the clansmen and tenant farmers to defend themselves. However, Han Caiqing is still calm and relaxed, a family with thousands of acres of fertile land like their Yanjing Han family is really not something that ordinary people can afford to provoke.

In the battle for the court, it is impossible for Han Caiqing to interfere.

Obviously, at this time, Han Caiqing also felt that these recent things were closely related to the court.

At this time, Ganqi's fleet did not immediately go south to Cangzhou, but continued to go north.

Not far to the north, in a place called Yuguan (northeast of Tangshan City), he sneaked to the shore at night.

Di Yong also went ashore, with more than 1,000 people ashore, there is a mountain not far from the shore, called Linyu Mountain, where there is a mountain face. Not far from the bottom of the mountain, there are several Yanyun Prefecture Mansions, Pingzhou to the east, Yingzhou to the south, and some county seats, all of which are very close.

If you want to rise, you should have your back against the mountains and forests, go down the mountain to attack the state capital, and go up the mountain to build a fortress. This is the strategy that Gan Qi thought of Di Yong. Hiding in the mountains, if you have the opportunity, you want to come to rob the city, and the city is difficult to rob, so you will first strengthen the landlords and accumulate grain and grass manpower. As for the ordnance and weapons, Gan Qi would naturally bring them to Di Yong in a steady stream.

After letting go of Di Yong, Gan Qi even commanded the fleet to continue north.

Further north, where is it?

On the opposite side is the land of Goryeo, from the mouth of the river to the shore, to the north is Changbai Mountain, and then to the northwest, at the foot of the small Xing'an Mountains and the Great Xing'an Mountains, there is the birth of the Jurchen.

As the ship headed north, Gan Qi crouched on the deck of a large ship of several hundred ingredients, with more than forty cages in front of him.

The cages are full of wild beasts.

Recently, Gan Qi has been personally handing out water and food to the people in these cages, and he has been practicing it.

Today, Ganchi is ready to try.

Gan Qi squatted in front of these cages for a long time, and finally chose one of the cages, in the cage was a relatively young boy, at first he had already lost his weight, but now Gan Qi ate fish three times a day, and slowly grew fat and strong.

The main thing is that Gan Qi pays attention to the eyes of this teenager every day, and the eyes of this young man look at him are becoming more and more kind, although he is still vigilant, he can't see much fierceness.

This is the reason why Gan Qi chose him, and after choosing, he prepared the wine and food first, and said: "Open this cage and let him out!" ”

Gan Ba knew that things were dangerous, with his armor on his body and a long knife at his waist, he stepped forward to open the cage.

The cage had already been opened, and the teenager inside looked panicked.

Gan Qi squatted at the door of the cage, beckoned gently to the young man, and said in the most gentle tone possible: "Don't be afraid, come out, come out, come, I have wine here......"

Gan Qi also deliberately poured out the wine, took a sip of it himself, poured another glass, and gestured a few more times.

The boy in the cage, in a panic, hesitated for a long time, slowly climbed out, and climbed out of the cage where he had been locked up for at least eight or nine months.

Gan Qi had a smile on his face and gestured with his hands: "Eat, let's eat together, I'll eat it for you first, this is beef, you see ......"
