"Then what does Gong Wen have a high opinion?"

"Without him, it's just a matter of taking advantage of the situation. The edict of the Son of Heaven cannot be changed, but the envoy is you. Looking at Zhang Langzhong today, the Liao people are unwilling to tear their faces with the Great Song Dynasty, after all, the Jin people are now winning consecutive battles, and if they want to negotiate peace, not only will the states and counties that have been captured by the Jin people belong to the Jin people, but I am afraid that they will have to come up with many other benefits. The most important thing is that the Liao people are basically outside the Saiwai, and their ancestral tombs are all in Shangjing, so how can they be easily handed over to the Jin people? So as long as the request of the Great Song side is not too excessive, they will agree. When the time comes, the minister will hand over the documents, and the Liao people will definitely bargain, so you can make a step forward and not force the Liao people to negotiate peace with the Jin people. ”

"What Gong Wen said is very true!" Han Xiaoxuan nodded, at this time he couldn't help but remember a list given to him by the other party when he met with Zhao Liangsi, which was a list of some Hanchen who were privately dissatisfied with the Khitans and had the possibility of being anyway. This made his impression of this fugitive minister a great change, after all, for Zhao Liangsi, these are not only the basis for promotion and fortune, but also the foundation of his life, and he is willing to take the initiative to hand over these to himself, but he underestimated him in the past.

When they had finished discussing in the house, they went back to their houses to rest. After Zhou Ping washed, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep, in a daze, Zhou Ping saw Zhishan standing in front of him with a frosty face, and scolded in a deep voice: "You have got so much money, but you only care about one person going south to enjoy the blessings, and abandon the whole village under the iron hooves of the golden people, how is this different from the beast?" ”

Zhou Ping instinctively turned around and fled, but he didn't know how far he had run, and a person suddenly appeared in front of him, and when he looked at it, it was Xue Liangyu. I saw that the other party's face was full of murderous anger, and he carried a horn knife in his hand, and said with a cruel smile: "You have so much money in vain, and outsiders don't know about it. Zhou Ping turned around to escape, but he tripped over something under his feet, fell to the ground, and looked back, and the sharp knife stabbed at his heart.

"Don't!" Zhou Ping woke up with a scream, only to find that it was just a dream, he was sitting on the bed, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, with the help of the bright moonlight outside the window, Zhou Ping could see that Xue Liangyu on the other side was sleeping soundly, breathing evenly.

"It turned out to be a dream of Nanke!" Zhou Ping smiled bitterly, he could still feel his rapid heartbeat at this time, he reached out and touched it under the pillow, and his fingertips touched a hard object, which was the small wooden box containing the deceived gold. At this time, Zhou Ping completely calmed down and lay down again, but I don't know why, Zhou Ping only felt that his body was hot and dry, and he couldn't sleep, so he got up, picked up his robe and put it on, pushed his heart open and walked out of the door, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and pondered.

"But after getting 5,000 yuan of money, you are suffering from gains and losses like this, is it just to be a rich man when you cross over?" Zhou Ping suddenly sneered: "When I was studying in the past, I looked down on Zhao Laojiu, who fled and self-destroyed the city when he met the Jin soldiers. He is still a few years away from Jin Bing's call, so he is afraid that he will run to Hangzhou and Quanzhou, but he is afraid that he is far worse than him, so what qualifications do he have to laugh at others? ”

"Well, it just so happens that Yun Niang's father is a blacksmith, and when he returns from Youzhou, he will use this 5,000 yuan as the capital to improve his shop, and the high-rise buildings will rise from the ground, I don't believe that there will be several years before I can do anything!" Thinking of this, the blocks in Zhou Ping's heart had been exhausted, and he only felt extremely happy all over his body, and he went back to bed and lay down for a while before falling asleep.

The next morning, Zhou Ping called Xue Liangyu and Li Bao into the room, saw that there was no one around, and closed the doors and windows tightly. Let the two sit down around the table, Zhou Ping took the wooden box from the bed, put it on the table and said with a smile: "Brother Li Bao, Shilang, I made a small fortune a few days ago, the ancients said: 'A gentleman has the righteousness of wealth', if the two of you are short of money, just take some and use it!" ”

"Really?" Xue Liangyu said with a smile, reaching out to open the lid of the wooden box, and said: "Ah Ping, it would be good if you had made a fortune in Tokyo a few days earlier, and I might as well go to the Great Xiangguo Temple to play, although this Youzhou City is majestic, if you talk about the play place is far worse than Tokyo-" At this point, Xue Liangyu suddenly stuck, Xue Liangyu was stunned and looked at the gold ingots in the wooden box in a daze, and only came back to his senses after half a ring, and asked urgently: "Brother Zhou, this, where did this come from?" He unconsciously changed his words and turned "Ah Ping" into "Brother Zhou".

"It's just an ill-gotten gain, and it doesn't hurt to take it easily!" Zhou Ping said with a smile, took a gold ingot in the wooden box, threw it to Xue Liangyu and said: "This ingot is five taels, and it is about ten times to exchange it for copper coins. ”

"Yes, yes!" Xue Liangyu took it in his hand like a heavy treasure, put it in his mouth and took a bite, and only after confirming that it was real gold did he carefully put it into his arms, sat down, and saw that he should still have something to say to Zhou Ping on his face, but Zhou Ping's heroic behavior calmed him down, and he didn't dare to interrupt the other party's speech.

"Brother Li Bao!" Zhou Ping turned around and smiled at Li Bao: "You escaped from Tokyo this time, you have to find a place to avoid the limelight, and there is little money around you. Please take some of your own coils as a coil on the road, and count it as a little heart! With that, Zhou Ping made a gesture next to the wooden box to ask for it.

Xue Liangyu couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw this, he didn't expect Zhou Ping to let Li Bao take it for himself, a random piece of gold ingot in the small box was ** ten copper coins, if Li Bao grabbed a handful in the box with his fan-like palm, wouldn't it be seven or eight hundred yuan gone? Thinking of this, his heart was like a cat's claw, but Zhou Ping had spoken, how could he, a bystander, speak out to stop him?

Li Bao didn't pounce on it and scoop it up in the wooden box as Xue Liangyu expected, but just looked at the gold in the wooden box coldly, he also had a three-to-five income overnight when business was good, and he didn't value money as much as Xue Liangyu, and after a while, his eyes turned to Zhou Ping, and asked in a deep voice: "Dare to ask, where did Brother Zhou's money come from." Although a certain family is just a puppet who sells his art, he still doesn't dare to take ill-gotten gains! ”

"I see, Brother Li Bao really deserves to be a cheap man!" Zhou Ping didn't think it was wrong, and turned the state Mu Yelu into a banquet mission that night in Xincheng, and secretly asked Han Xiaoxuan to pay for him, and he took the opportunity to get the money from the other party. In the end, Zhou Ping smiled and said: "This money must have been scavenged from the people of Liao by Naye Luyuncheng, it is ill-gotten gains, I will take it without harm, Brother Li, but it doesn't hurt you to take it." ”

"Hey!" When Li Bao heard this, he couldn't help sighing: "This Yelu Yun became an official to the state pastor, and he had to be given the surname Yelu, and the superior treated him very kindly, but he secretly colluded with the enemy country, and he was really a villain." Emperor Liao believes in such a villain, why should his country not die? Speaking of this, Li Bao stood up and bowed to Zhou Ping: "Brother Zhou, if you hadn't reached out to help, Li Bao's surname would have been lost in Tokyo." Along the way, I saw that the people of Yan Di were not living well, and there were strong enemies pressing the realm, and I was about to have a big sword soldier, but I was afraid that my Great Song Dynasty would not be able to escape this catastrophe. You are a knowledgeable, knowledgeable and powerful man, and a real hero, I, Li Bao, have no way out anyway, so I might as well hand over this surname to you and see if I can make a career! ”

"Hurry up, please!" Zhou Ping was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. He was originally a temptation this time, if this Li Bao was a greedy villain, he would naturally show traces, and he risked exposing the origin of the money this time in exchange for such a henchman, how could it be considered worthwhile.

"Shiro, I'm going back this time, and I plan to use this money to do something special, and I will ask you to help me when the time comes!" Zhou Ping'an paused, Li Bao turned around and said to Xue Liangyu.

Xue Liangyu said with a smile: "Why should Brother Zhou be so polite, in the past, when I stayed in Zhuangzi, I always thought that God was the boss and I was the second." After coming out, I realized that you are the real hero, as long as you don't dislike it, I Xue Liangyu will follow you in the future! ”

"Good, good! You and I brothers work together, what can't we do? Zhou Ping said with a smile: "I don't like to get these thousands of dollars this time, but I am happy to have two more brothers with different surnames." Speaking of this, Zhou Ping's voice turned low: "But the source of this money is not known to outsiders, please be stricter!" ”

"That's nature!"

"Big brother, please rest assured!" Li and Xue hurriedly patted their chests and promised.

At this time, there were suddenly two knocks on the door outside, and then a familiar voice came: "Is Zhou Chengxin here?" ”

The faces of Li and Xue suddenly changed greatly, Xue Liangyu's right hand was already pressed on the handle of the knife on his waist, obviously as long as Zhou Ping looked at him, he would kill the uninvited guest outside the door. Zhou Ping stood up, gently patted Xue Liangyu's right arm twice, stopped the other party's impulse, and motioned him to pack up the wooden box on the table, before answering loudly: "Who?" ”

"It's me, Wen Cheng!"

"It turned out to be Gong Wen!" Zhou Ping saw that Li and Xue had already cleaned up the house, so he opened the door, and saw Wen Chengzheng standing at the door, looking as usual, so he arched his hand and said: "I just chatted with the two brothers in the house, I don't want Gong Wen to come, it's windy outside, come in and have a cup of hot tea to warm up." ”

"No need, it's just okay today, this Pure Dirt Temple is also a famous temple in Yanjing, I have long wanted to visit, I don't know if Zhou Chengxin is free and willing to travel with me?"

Zhou Ping was stunned when he heard this, and secretly thought that Wen Cheng was afraid that there was something he wanted to take this opportunity to say to him in private, and he couldn't hide from it anyway, so he smiled and said: "I don't dare to ask for ears!" ”
