At this time, Dong Qing also understood a little that what he said just now seemed to make this Young Master Heng realize something. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dong Qing didn't have any scruples, he ate and drank heavily, and in the blink of an eye, he ate the food on the table cleanly.

Dong Qing didn't drink, knowing that Qian Heng would still ask questions for a while, so he didn't touch the wine, and wiped his mouth when he was full, only to find that Qian Heng was staring at him just now, but he didn't eat a mouthful.

Dong Qing couldn't help but show a trace of shame on his face, "The owner, the little one is in a hurry, and he is indeed a little hungry, but he actually forgot to leave some for you, young master!" ”

Qian Heng waved his hand, "Don't worry about that, if you're full, follow me upstairs!" ”

At this time, Qian Heng still had the heart to eat, and directly took Dong Qing back to the upstairs guest room.

After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Qian Heng asked, "Dong Qing, tell me carefully what is going on with this business route related to Cheng Wang." ”

Dong Qing nodded, "My subordinates were appointed by the Wu butler, and they went to Liao with the two shopkeepers, and the main task was to explore the situation in Liao, and it was just incidental to open up trade routes, but I didn't expect that when I arrived in Datong Mansion in Yunzhou, I got acquainted with a Liao nobleman!" ”

Qian Heng did not speak, and listened patiently.

The nobles of the Liao State mentioned by Dong Qing are indeed not bad, but they are the fourth son of Emperor Tianzuo, King Yelu of Zhao.

As the prince of Liao, he sat in Xijing and stayed in Xijing.

The people in the palace of the king of Zhao in Xijing, and the people in the palace of the prime minister of Xijing, colluded and secretly used horses and furs to exchange tea, salt and gold with the Song people.

As a city adjacent to the Liao Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty, the degree of prosperity is extremely high, the economy is developed, and merchants from all walks of life gather in Xijing Datong Mansion. Especially after the Jin State invaded the Great Liao, the Liao nobles in Xijing also became panicked, and the fur horses in their hands, as well as many calligraphy, paintings and artworks, were all used to replace salt and iron and other value-preserving items.

When Dong Qing arrived at Datong Mansion, he was in full swing with the exchange transaction.

With Dong Qing's identity, he naturally couldn't meet Zhao Wang Yelu Xi Nilie himself, but Dong Qing also had some ability, and after a few contacts, he got in touch with a housekeeper of Pingzhang political affairs in Datong Mansion.

And when I got acquainted with this Pingzhang housekeeper, there was a little misunderstanding.

The housekeeper of the Liao people, after hearing that Dong Qing was from Dongping Mansion, directly regarded Dong Qing as the person of Cheng Wang, the prefect of Dongping.

Especially Dong Qing went to Datong Mansion this time, bringing a lot of wine, tea and soap, these goods have already spread to the territory of Liao at this time, Dong Qing can take out this kind of scarce goods, so he thinks that Dong Qing has a very energetic owner behind him.

It was the goods in Dong Qing's hands that directly made the housekeeper of the Pingzhang Mansion not have any suspicions about Dong Qing, so he started the transaction directly.

Qian Heng suddenly asked at this time, "Dong Qing, could it be that Liao people, there is no doubt about your identity?" ”

Dong Qing bowed slightly and explained, "Young Master Heng, if it were in normal times, the Liao people would definitely suspect the identity of their subordinates, but now that the Liao State has been defeated by the Jin State, many Liao nobles are trying their best to replace the property in their hands, and when they see the goods that can be replaced, who else cares about the identity of their subordinates?" ”

Qian Heng thought thoughtfully, "So, the Liao Kingdom is also panicked now, and even the Xijing Datong Mansion, which is the accompanying capital, has begun to replace property?" ”

Dong Qingdao, "Young Master Heng, I am in Datong Mansion, and I also heard a rumor that Yelu Xi, the king of Zhao, who was left behind in Xijing, is repairing the palace recently, and it is said that it is prepared to welcome Emperor Tianzuo!" ”

Qian Heng's heart moved, the defeat of the Liao State and the capital was a matter of this summer, so it seems that Emperor Tianzuo at this time has fled to Xijing Datong Mansion.

Originally, the strong soldiers of the Liao State in the eyes of the Song people have now become lost dogs, and it will not be long before the Great Song Dynasty will directly face the prying eyes of the Jin State.

As soon as he thought of this, Qian Heng felt more and more that time was pressing.

"Dong Qing, what did the Liao people exchange with us?"

Dong Qing replied, "Young Master Heng, all I need is the horses, the goods I brought, in exchange for twenty war horses, before coming back this time, the steward of the Pingzhang family also asked me to bring more goods over, and I was originally going to return to Shouzhang to ask you for instructions, but I didn't expect to meet the young master in Dongping Mansion, if I can bring more goods over, I should be able to exchange for more good horses to come back!" ”

Qian Heng nodded, "Yes, you did a good job, I have asked the guy to arrange a room for you, wait for Wu Er to come back tonight, you should prepare well, take advantage of the chaotic situation in Liao, return to Datong Mansion as soon as possible, in exchange for more horses to come back, and the next trip to Liao, you will have full authority to dispose of it." ”

Dong Qing hurriedly got up and thanked, "Thank you Young Master Heng for your attention, my subordinates will definitely live up to the young master's trust!" ”

"When you bring back the horses, remember to transport them in batches, so as not to alarm the border troops of our dynasty!"

Dong Qing nodded again and again, "Young Master Heng, don't worry, these twenty horses under him were also brought back in batches, and the few people who went with me also escorted the horses back separately this time!" ”

"Good!"

Qian Heng was very appreciative of Dong Qing's performance, so he was entrusted with the important task again to arrange this trip to Datong Mansion.

At this time, Dong Qing asked again, "Young Master Heng, when I came back this time, I was originally going to see the prefect of Dongping, but now is my subordinate?" ”

Dong Qing asked about Cheng Wang, and Qian Heng waved his hand directly, "Don't care about that Cheng Wang, now that the Liao Kingdom is in chaos, who cares about the news of a prefect!" ”

Dong Qing nodded yes at the same time, but took out a bamboo tube from his arms, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Young Master Heng, I came to Dongping Mansion to deliver this letter, since I don't need to see Cheng Wang again, then this letter will be left with you, maybe it can be of some use!" ”

"What kind of letter is this?"

Qian Heng glanced at the bamboo tube in Dong Qing's hand with some surprise, and reached out to take it.

"It's the secret letter from the Lord Pingzhangshi of Taiyuan Mansion to Cheng Wang!"

Qian Heng glanced at the sealing mud on the sealing of the bamboo tube, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, so he directly smashed the sealing mud and took out the letter inside.

The letter was written in silk silk, and in addition to a few greetings with Cheng Wang, it also mentioned the amount of several transactions, and finally urged Cheng Wang to provide more goods such as sea salt and ironware.

Seeing this, Qian Heng's heart moved.

Goods such as salt, iron and tea have always been strictly controlled by the Great Song Dynasty, and for tea, the Great Song Dynasty control is still slightly looser, but goods such as salt and iron are strictly embargoed. Especially for Liao, salt and iron are not allowed to be transported to Liao. Even in order to prohibit the flow of salt and iron to Liao, Emperor Huizong also issued a special decree that if someone was found to smuggle salt and iron to Liao, he would be directly executed for treason and Liao.

This Cheng Wang actually dared to collude with the Liao people in private to sell the resources of the Great Song Dynasty.

Qian Heng also realized at this time that the letter he was holding in his hand was completely a physical evidence to manipulate Cheng Wang.
