Chapter 990: Secret Agent Cui Qing (II)
"What do you mean by that they dressed you up as a Khitan?" Yang Huairen wondered.
Cui Qingdao, "Yes. My daughter-in-law and I lived in that small courtyard for two days, and we were always very confused, and on the third day, the middle-aged man appeared.
He revealed his identity as the Blue Shirts, and hoped that I would follow him, but I thought at the time, anyway, the Blue Shirts were a group of people who were trying to save the suffering Han people, so I agreed.
What happened next, ......"
"How?"
Cui Qing was a little embarrassed, "They said that I was nine points similar to a certain Khitan person they were targeting, so they asked me to dress up as that Khitan person to break into the Khitan circle and help them find out the news."
At first, I was unwilling, I am a Han, why should I pretend to be a Khitan? Grandpa, look at my current appearance, the top of my head has been shaved into a melon scoop, and the hair around me has to be tied into pigtails, which is really ugly.
Later, they said that those who achieve great things are not informal, and in order to save the humiliated Han people in Liao, I pretended to be a Khitan, which is a manifestation of sacrificing the small self and achieving the big self.
I still can't listen to these profound words, but I understand what they mean, that is, if I want to be a hero, I have to pretend to be a bear first. ”
Yang Huairen couldn't help laughing, although Cui Qing's analogy was not very appropriate, but the words were not rough.
Thinking about the purpose of the Blue Shirts' move again, maybe it was because a certain Khitan who might have come into contact with Khitan nobles or officials really happened to look a little like Cui Qing, so he pretended to be another person to help them find out the news.
Yang Huairen couldn't help asking, "Then what is the identity of this Khitan person you are dressing up as now?" ”
Cui Qing replied, "That Khitan man's name is Yelu Yepi, not only does he look like me, but he is also not much different in age and size, and the first time I saw him, I understood why the people in the Blue Shirt Army wanted me to pretend to be him."
They found an opportunity to secretly kill Yelu Yepi, so they asked me to replace him, and only later, I learned that this Yelu Yepi was originally a steward of the prince's mansion of Liao.
When Yelu Yepi was in his twenties, he was sent to Xijin Mansion to help a treasurer of the Prince's Mansion take charge of the Prince's Mansion's business in Xijin Mansion.
This person is extremely arrogant and cruel, often bullying the Han people without any reason, and once beat a Han porter to death on the street.
The Khitan government has always protected their Khitans, even if they killed someone, but because Yelu Yepi was a member of the prince's mansion, the government did not dare to offend, and even did not punish him in any way, so he let him go, so I felt that the blue shirt army slaughtered him, and he deserved it.
But fortunately, I pretended to be Yelu Yepi, and it was really smooth. Yelu Yepi is a native of Shangjing Dao, and not many people in Xijin Mansion know him, when I was an internal guard in Bazhou, I was staying at the border to spy on the intelligence of the Liao State, so I would have spoken Khitan words a long time ago.
The only shopkeeper who is very familiar with Yelu Yepi in Xijin Mansion who manages the business of the Prince's Mansion is an old-eyed, blind and deaf person, who originally became the shopkeeper by relying on his seniority in the Prince's Mansion, and he can't see people clearly, and I am also very similar to Yelu Yepi, so I was not recognized by him.
But just in case, I still followed the blue shirts' intentions and found an opportunity to slaughter the old guy too, so that it was foolproof.
But after the old guy died, the prince's mansion sent a group of new people to run it for his own business, and he wanted to recall Yelu Yepi to Zhongjing Dading Mansion for use.
At that time, I was also a little panicked, but I heard from the people in the Blue Shirt Army that Yelu Yepi and they had already investigated his background, and now there is no family alive, and he has been in Xijin Mansion since his early twenties, and he has not returned to Dading Mansion for seven or eight years, so the people in the Prince's Mansion may not be able to recognize the difference between me and Yelu Yepi.
Therefore, I made up for the customs and living habits of the Khitan people, and changed my lady into a Khitan woman, and came to Dading Mansion.
Judging from the current results, it is really a concealment, and I have been concealed from it, and no one has noticed the difference between me, and the prince's mansion also regards me as the real Yelu Yepi.
Knowing that I was married, I also sent me a congratulatory gift, and the gift of Yelu Yanxi, the grandson of the Liao Dynasty, was particularly big. ”
Yang Huairen smiled with satisfaction, the whole thing was both a coincidence, and it seemed to be destined, Cui Qingneng pretended to be Yelu Yepi to enter the prince's mansion, and he was really able to get into a lot of inside information that was difficult for both Fengshenwei and the Blue Shirt Army to find.
Yang Huairen looked at Cui Qing again, "You are no longer a little steward of the Prince's Mansion now, are you?" ”
Cui Qing smiled, "Grandpa has good eyesight." When I just returned to Dading Mansion from Xijin Mansion, I happened to meet Yelu Yanxi who was canonized as the grandson of Emperor Da'an, and established his identity as the heir to the throne of the Liao Dynasty.
And I took this opportunity to show my strength in front of Yelu Yanxi, so I became the biggest business in the Prince's Mansion, that is, the big shopkeeper of Xingyuanlong Commercial Bank. ”
"Oh? You're pretty capable. ”
"Grandpa smiled, it's not that I have much ability, but the other Khitan people in the prince's mansion, few of them really know how to do business, it turns out that those shopkeepers and stewards who are in charge of business are also based on their qualifications, and they don't know what business is all about.
Therefore, even if I am a general, it seems that I have the ability, but in fact, there is a person with the identity of Yelu Yanxi Da'an Huang'an Emperor as a backer, and it is not difficult to do business in a place like Dading Mansion.
Others must be the business of the Prince's Mansion, as soon as they heard the name of Xingyuanlong, they were scared by three points, where did they dare to play with me as a profiteer?
As long as I know how to use the name of the prince's mansion to make money, it is enough, and I have indeed made a lot of money for Yelu Yanxi in the past two years, such as the Suiyuan Spring wine produced by my grandfather's family, which Xingyuanlong purchased from the Great Song Dynasty, and the profit from selling wine alone accounted for nearly half of Xingyuanlong's profits.
The more money I make for Yelu Yanxi, the more important he is, although it can't be said that I am Yelu Yanxi's henchman, but now there are more and more things in the prince's mansion, Yelu Yanxi will consult with me.
Although I haven't touched on very secret things yet, I feel that if this development continues, I will definitely be able to break into Yelu Yanxi's core secret circle in the future.
I am now walking on the streets of Dading Mansion, and those ordinary petty officials in the Khitan court are respectful when they see me. ”
