Early the next morning, the shopkeeper Zhou Que went to the Liao State Pavilion to report the latest information, but was scolded by Xiao Changying, the permanent envoy of the Liao State in the Song Dynasty.

Zhou Que only reported that the Liao State troop transport ship was ambushed by the Song Army's naval division and the whole army was annihilated, but did not say how the Song Army's naval division mastered the information of the Liao State troop carrier, and the report was only half of the report, and the result was to withstand the thunderous wrath of the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji.

Zhou Que returned to the inn in a distraught, and Liu Suifeng also returned.

"This morning, Wang Qinying has already bought the house, and my subordinates witnessed with their own eyes that Wang Qinying also bargained with the landlord in Yaxing, and in the end he didn't pay back a penny, and bought the small courtyard outside the old Cao Gate at a price of 700 yuan, and jumped up with joy."

"The small courtyard outside the old Cao Gate, still nine points of land, will it be so cheap?" Zhou Que was a little puzzled, the unit price of the house outside the old Cao Gate should be about 2,000 yuan per mu, why did Wang Qinying buy it so cheaply?

"I specially went to investigate the mansion, it was a murderous house, two people died in three years, one died of illness, and the other was killed, so it was sold cheaply, Wang Qinying should also know, but he wanted to be cheap."

The suspicion in Zhou Que's heart faded a lot, he also liked officials who were greedy for cheapness, this kind of person was easier to control, he thought for a while and asked, "Do you think this Wang Qinying is credible?" ”

Liu Suifeng nodded, "Wang Yong is a credible person, since he said that Wang Qinying is credible, I think it should be credible." ”

Zhou Que was under too much pressure and couldn't drag it out any longer, he made up his mind and said to Liu Suifeng: "I want to know who betrayed the intelligence of the Liao State Navy and the shipyard, how does the Song Army know that Tokyo is empty, in addition, I also want to get an invalid iron fire thunder, you go and talk to Wang Qinying, as long as he can fulfill my wishes, it is not a problem how much money he wants." ”

.........

At noon, Wang Qinying came to the Privy Council, and there are often correspondence between the North Ya of the Overseas Economic Strategy Mansion and the Privy Council, and it is normal for Wang Qinying to appear here, and he will come to deliver some documents every three or five times.

The Privy Council is a huge building covering an area of dozens of acres, with a garden in the middle, three-storey buildings on each side, and a small courtyard inside, which is the court house of the senior officials of the Privy Council.

Wang Qinying came to the second floor of the East Building, and walked to the end, which was a functional department that occupied four rooms, and the sign hung 'Hebei Xuanfu Envoy Logistics Liaison Office', almost all Xuanfu envoys have special liaison offices in the Privy Council, so this is a very common functional department in the Privy Council.

However, this 'Hebei Xuanfu Envoy and Ya Logistics Liaison Office' has another unknown name, 'Beijing Liaison Office of the Intelligence Department of the Staff Battalion of the Liao Army', which is actually a counter-espionage agency of the Liao Army in the capital.

Wang Qinying knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened a crack, a pair of eyes looked outside, opened the door a little wider, and Wang Qinying flashed in.

Wang Qinying's cousin Wang Yong was indeed bought by the Liao State spies and discovered by the Beijing Intelligence Department.

Just wait for the Liao spies to pull him into the city.

After a short time, Wang Qinying came out of the room again, his expression was flat, as if nothing had happened, and hurriedly returned to the third official office.

In the evening, Wang Qinying and his cousin Wang Yong came to Baohe Restaurant in an ox cart, Wang Yong was a little nervous, and asked in a low voice, "Have you got the news?" ”

Wang Qinying said lightly: "I got the news, and I guarantee that it is accurate, but I have said it first, if I can't get the silver I deserve, I won't take out this information." ”

"Don't worry! As long as there is material for something, they have always been generous. ”

"I'll see!"

The two came to the Baohe Restaurant and went directly to the elegant room on the third floor, and Liu Suifeng had been waiting for them for a long time with a banquet.

The three of them drank a few glasses of wine, and Liu Suifeng asked with a smile: "I don't know what I want, did Wang Dushi bring it?" ”

Wang Qinying nodded, "I brought something, but I have to see your sincerity first." ”

Liu Suifeng took out a leather bag, took out five ingots of yellow gold from it and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "This is fifty taels of gold, for five hundred taels of silver, the sincerity is very good!" ”

Wang Qinying took out a file bag from his arms, put it on the table and pushed it to Liu Suifeng, and said to him: "Here is the original, I happened to be on duty in the clerical room these days, and I must put the original back within three days." ”

Liu Suifeng immediately opened the bag and took out an official document from it, which was stamped with the words 'Top Secret'.

This is a document forwarded by the Privy Council to the Zhizheng Hall, and then issued by the Zhizheng Hall to the Beiya of the Overseas Economic Strategy Palace, Liu Suifeng opened the document, inside is the Privy Council to the Zhizheng Hall to report the situation of the Liao army, the situation of the warships, and the location of the shipyard Top secret report, there is a hand-drawn map on it.

Then the Zhizheng Hall asked the Overseas Economic Strategy to confirm the authenticity of this information, and mentioned the source of the information in the text, the Jurchen Wanyan Department.

There is also Fu Bi's signature and the big seal of the Zhizheng Hall under the inscription.

Liu Suifeng was like a treasure, and hurriedly said: "We will confirm this text and return it to you tomorrow." ”

Wang Qinying unceremoniously pocketed the five ingots of gold, and said to him: "The invalid iron fire thunder you want is not available for the time being, and it will be the beginning of spring next year at the earliest, and the imperial court has a batch of materials to be shipped to Kunzhou, and there are two hundred and thirty-three expired iron fire thunders in it, I will find a way to get one for you." ”

Liu was overjoyed with the wind, got up and saluted: "After the matter is completed, we will definitely thank you again!" ”

Wang Yong coughed lightly, Liu Suifeng woke up, and said with a smile: "Of course, there will also be the benefits of Wang Steward." ”

........

After the three of them finished drinking, Liu sent the two away with the wind, and hurriedly took the text to find the shopkeeper Zhou Que, under the light, Zhou Que squinted his eyes and carefully checked the text, there is a number on the text, whether it is a special paper, signature, stamp or content format, it is completely in line with the characteristics of the official text of the Zhizheng Hall, and even some details are right, such as the word 'top secret' is a seal, the border is very thick, Zhou Que has been in contact, so he knows these details very well.

He nodded, this text was true, he couldn't have imagined that it was actually the Jurchens who secretly colluded with the Great Song Dynasty and betrayed the Liao Navy and Tokyo.

"Director, how can it be a Jurchen?" Liu Suifeng asked suspiciously.

"It's not surprising that the Northern Jurchens often go to Liaoyang Mansion to sell tiger skins and bear paws, they know the situation in Liaoyang Mansion very well, and they often take canoes to fish in the Heishui estuary, so it's not surprising that they may have been to Kunzhou."

"That's right! If they didn't contact the Song Dynasty, how could the Song Dynasty know the name of Wan Yan's impeachment? ”

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Song Dynasty to know the name of the leader of the Jurchen Wanyan Division, you must know that there are dozens of tribes in the Jurchens, and they are divided into Southern Jurchens and Northern Jurchens, and the Wanyan Department is only a relatively powerful tribe in the Northern Jurchens, how could the Song Dynasty Zhizheng Hall fool itself for an obscure Jurchen Ministry.

Zhou Que sighed softly, this is also because the Liao State has been taxing the Jurchen Ministry too harshly over the years, which has aroused strong resistance from the Jurchen Ministry, and even colluded with the Great Song Dynasty, but in any case, his task has been completed, and he can give an explanation to the Liao State, as for the life or death of the Jurchen Wanyan Ministry, it has nothing to do with him.

"What does Iron Fire Thunder's intelligence say?" Zhou Que asked again.

"He said that there is no now, and that when the spring comes, there will be a batch of invalid iron fire thunder transported back to Kunzhou, a total of two hundred and thirty-three, and he will find a way to get one for us, but his price is very high, asking for two thousand taels of silver."

"Money is not a problem, if you really get iron and thunder, don't say two thousand taels of silver, even if he wants ten thousand taels of silver, I will give it!"

For this iron fire thunder, Zhou Que's pressure is too great, as long as he can get an iron fire thunder, he will not hesitate to pay a big price.

That night, Zhou Que handed over the top-secret document of the Zhizheng Hall to the Liao State Pavilion, and at dawn the next day, an urgent top-secret information sent from the Liao State was sent to Youzhou through Xinying, which also brought ruin to the Jurchen tribe.
