Chapter 74: Guidance

Wu Changyao understood, and still held a little doubt: "You don't want to give the Jin people this chance, but it's a pity that your official position is too small, and you only master the escort team in the resentment army, and in the face of the Jin people's hundred-man team, I'm afraid you will fall into the sand." ”

Yang Zhi smiled and said: "So I need your help with the map, Brother Wu, when I have time, come to the barracks to play, my other identity is a businessman, I can talk about what business can be cooperated." ”

Wu Changyao returned to the house with a smile and said, "Then you should tell Li Raole and Pu Qilu that they are businessmen, some are money, and I am just a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes." ”

However, after more than an hour, Sha Jing and Li Raole completed the work, Yang Zhi learned that Master Fa Hong no longer saw him, so he and Sha Jing said goodbye to Monk Zhiyin, went out of the temple gate, and rushed back to the barracks with Xue Libao and other thirty horsemen who stayed in the woods. Back at the barracks, Zhang Nu also came back with more than 20 marked maps, and Yang Zhi immediately asked the officers and soldiers in the escort team who had been to Guiyi Prefecture to supplement the markings and make a detailed map.

After two days, Zhang Nu and Yeluzhen drew a more detailed map, Yang Zhi was very satisfied with it, and asked Zhang Nu to take the soldiers to familiarize himself with the situation on the map, and sent a fast horse to send a letter to Master Tianxin, saying that the materials could be transferred, so that the merchants who joined the merchant group could come to Xianzhou. Centurion Ye Luzhen followed Yang Zhi's tent and asked, "Did the adults find anything abnormal?"

Yeluzhen is Yelumago's nephew, and when he went to the escort team, he also took Yelumago with him a task that was to find out the fine work of Jin Guo and horse thieves in Xianzhou, and after the autumn harvest last year to the winter, two-thirds of the materials transported from Zhongjing to Xianzhou were robbed, but Yeluma had just taken office, and Yeluchun didn't say much. If this situation still occurs this year, it is really difficult for Yelu Ma Ge to explain, so Ye Lu Ma Ge asked Yang Zhi and Ye Lu Zhen to find a way to investigate, Qingyan Temple is actually a clue provided by Ye Lu Ma Ge.

Yang Zhi said with certainty: "Qingyan Temple itself is not a problem, but there are too many pilgrims in his house, the state is true, there are too many people living on it, today I took Guiyi Prefecture to talk about things, I saw five unusual pilgrims, Qingyan Temple may also have some suspicions, but they are monks, many things can not be said." I feel that Wu Changyao and Li Raole are not a big problem, they are all difficult to choose when Qingyan Temple is just a temporary place to hide, but Pu Qilu and Xiao Yan are a little suspicious. ”

Wu Changyao is a Jurchen, a registered disciple of Master Fa Hong, as a ranger, he always leaves Qingyan Temple several times a month; Li Raole is a great man in Guiyi Prefecture, he is hiding in Xianzhou, and his family business has not been affected much in Guiyi Prefecture, and his clan has dealings with the Jin people. So both of them are on the list of Yelu Mago's attention, but in this situation, Yelu Mago does not dare to kill, and he must have evidence before he dares to do it, but the long-term investigation has been inconclusive.

Yeluzhen and Shajing were both stunned, and Yeluzhen arched his hand and said, "I hope that the adult will give advice." ”

Yang Zhi put out the map of Park Qilu in his hand and said: "Sha Jing asked Park Qilu, because he is in the ginseng business, he often comes and goes

Between Baishan and Xianzhou, it has been avoiding disaster in Qingyan Temple for almost a year. I see that the husband and wife have ruddy faces, their clothes are ninety percent new, and they should have a good life; you say, he is a businessman, and he should take money with him when he escapes, can't he go to Youzhou to avoid trouble, change his career to do some other business, and have to sit in Qingyan Temple to eat nothing. Look at the map he marked again, it is his way to travel between Guiyi and Xianzhou for many years, why did he bypass Huangshagang?"

Ye Luzhen looked at it carefully, and suddenly realized: "It is to avoid the post station on Huangshagang, our Daliao does not have a passing tariff, and Pu Qilu has another purpose." ”

Sha Jing cautiously asked, "Could it be that you are worried about the army robbery?"

The military discipline of the Liao army is not good, and the guys at the post station often find various reasons to loot passing merchants, and Pu Qilu's approach cannot be said to be unreasonable. Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "It's not for this reason, bypassing Huangshagang, it is easier to be attacked by horse thieves, Pu Qilu is not a person with strong martial arts and a group of bodyguards; ”

"What about Xiao Yan?" Yang Zhi made sense, Sha Jing could only ask one other question, Yang Zhi said coldly: "The abnormal place is that Guiyi Prefecture broke the city after only one battle, Xiao Lu Zhao died in battle, Xiao Yan is a weak woman, she looks good, how did she escape from the hands of the Jin army, and she was able to escape with gold and silver jewelry." If it wasn't Xiao Yan herself, she was controlled, and if it was the latter, the person who controlled him should be in Qingyan Temple. ”

Jerry asked, "What are we going to do next?"

Yang Zhi was thinking about this matter from the way back, and said categorically: "Qingyan Temple can't investigate openly, it will startle the snake, you are secretly looking for people from Guiyizhou, inquire about the situation of Pu Qilu and Xiao Luzhao, and see if there are any clues." Ye Luzhen, you go and report to the envoy of Jiedu, it is best to find the soldiers who participated in the battle of Guiuiju and the colleagues who have done business with Park Jilu, Sha Jing, you write a letter to the Zhiyin of Cheongam Temple, asking if Cheongamsi, Li Raole, and Park Jilu are interested in joining the merchant group of the resentful army. ”

Outsiders have come to Xianzhou to make money, if the locals do not participate, it is inevitable that people gossip, now the businessmen of Xianzhou City have almost gone, Yang Zhi opened his mouth to Qingyan Temple, it is a normal inquiry; Qingyan Temple's reply arrived the next day, Master Fahong unexpectedly refused, the monks were not interested in business, Li Raole and Pu Qilu had already entered Xianzhou City, and asked Yang Zhi to discuss in the city.

Merchants do not refuse opportunities, especially the merchants of the Liao State, there are even fewer opportunities, except for the five capitals and sixteen states, which is the trade of the squeezing field, if you want to smuggle with the Great Song Dynasty, local tycoons like Li Raole can't intervene at all, let alone small businessmen like Pu Qilu. But the businessmen all knew that they were bargaining on the spot, and their posture still had to be put on a posture, and the two entered Xianzhou City in order to put psychological pressure on Yang Zhi and facilitate the subsequent negotiations.

It's just that Li Raole and Park Qilu didn't expect that Yang Zhi selected twenty capable people, under the leadership of Geng Shanji, to search for news in the area of fifty miles around Xianzhou every day, and the direction of Qingyan Temple was one of the three main roads, and the vehicles of the two were under the surveillance of the resentful army from the beginning of the descent from the mountain. Knowing that the two had set up a tent in the northeast corner of Xianzhou City, Yang Zhi asked Sha Jing to run and invited them to a banquet at Lushan Restaurant, the only restaurant in Xianzhou, in the evening.
