Yang Zhi called Li Gon to go to the morning market, bought goods in the street, did not linger long, and immediately led people out of the city with forty horses, as for two mule carts, one loaded with forage and grain, and the other loaded with rhubarb, wolfberry, licorice, and other medicinal herbs. Yang Zhi and Li Gon took turns to check their tails, and found that the scouts of the two groups of officers and soldiers, each with ten people, had been following out of fifty miles to see that the caravan was indeed going in the direction of Bianliang before going back.

Yang Zhi returned to Kaifeng with the horses, and with the thirty horses sent by Fu Cheng, there were seventy horses in the horse pen of Zhishi Horse Company at once, which could allow Xie Shi to sell them slowly. These horses are all good horses in the Western Xia and Western Regions, attracting many buyers, that is, Xu Ning came over and also selected a five-flowered horse; medium horsehead, long neck, strong limbs, strong hooves, five-colored patterns are cut into petals, and it looks handsome, flexible, brisk, and strong.

Xu Ning came to pass a word, Yang Jian wanted to see Yang Zhi, and after listening to Li Gon's report, Cao Qianli and Yang Jian were already anxious, Yang Zhi couldn't promise to do nothing, so he immediately asked Xu Ning to inform him and make an appointment to meet Yang Zhi secretly in the Nine Star Chess Club. Yang Chong used to win three times a day here, and now even if he doesn't play chess, no one thinks it's strange to run around and tease, Yang Zhi went to the appointment alone, and only asked Cao Qianli one question when they met: "If something happens to the two groups in Yanzhou, which one does Cao Qianli think is more likely to defect?"

Cao Qianli didn't expect Yang Zhi to sing such a play, and under the forced gaze of Yang Jian's gaze, he pondered and said, "One group is composed of disciples of the Phantom Sword Sect, and one group is composed of recruited people. If you want to talk about trust, it is naturally the disciples of this sect first, but if you talk about leaking secrets, the Phantom Sword Sect is only a small sect in the rivers and lakes, and I dare not say that every disciple of this sect can stand the temptation from the outside. ”

Cao Qianli didn't say anything to death, Tong Guanquan leaned to the northwest, and he was happy to throw money, even if he changed himself, he didn't know if he could have a reassuring result; Yang Jian had already vaguely guessed Yang Zhi's thoughts, his eyes flashed with unfathomable depth, and he said with a smile: "Yang Zhi, tell me your plan carefully?"

Yang Jian was full of gray hair and looked like he would die at any moment, but Yang Zhi and Cao Qianli both knew that this was an illusion of appearance, and this old eunuch might live longer than himself. Yang Zhi said unhurriedly: "I came back to check the number of salt deeds announced by the Salt and Iron Division, and on the six roads in Yan'an, only Huaidejun provided green salt to Guanzhong and Bianliang, and a large number of salt deeds were opened every year; And the people know that the Huaidejun road is the most difficult to walk, and the share of smuggling is less than one-tenth of the Yan'an Sixth Road, so it can be concluded that there must be problems with the other five roads. ”

There was a pot of freshly brewed tea on the table, and Yang Zhi was not polite, and poured himself a cup of hot tea after speaking; the most critical issue now is evidence, but Yang Zhi is no longer a hot-blooded hairy young man, and he knows how to retreat in front of Yang Jian and other politicians. If Yang Jian and Cao Qianli have the intention to harm themselves and secretly exchange money with Tong Guan, in the end, if the matter is not done, they will also be charged with a crime of startling snakes.

Yang Jian snorted and said, "We have been able to conclude that this is the situation, so we want you to investigate secretly." ”

Yang Zhi smiled and asked: "Why don't you order the incorruptible envoy to inspect the warehouses in various places, and then use fake news to identify the situation of the personnel in Yanzhou?"

Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "It turns out that you put your idea on this." ”

After Song Huizong came to power, it was changed to someone close to the emperor, generally to manage the clean government work of officials all the way or a state and a government, and to report to the imperial court. Since Yang Zhi has already concluded that there is a cat, then he can check the warehouse, and once the Wulu master wants to transfer the materials, it is the time to find clues.

And if any of Cao Qianli's subordinates betrayed, they would be the eyes and ears of the Western Army at this time, and it would be impossible not to move; as long as Cao Qianli sent a false message, he could let those people be exposed. In the end, it is even possible to use these betrayed people to point out the generals of the Western Army, and there is no need to make a big move; Cao Qianli did not dare to speak anymore, waiting for Yang Jian's decision, most of the time Cao Qianli always felt a little lingering uncomfortable with the pleasant Yang Jian.

Yang Jian's coldness and carelessness for human life are well known, Cao Qianli didn't believe that Yang Jian's smile and kindness would be true at all, if it wasn't for Song Huizong Zhao Ji himself to speak this time, Cao Qianli wouldn't want to care about the dog-eat-dog affair in the court. Yang Jian was slender, got up and paced a few steps, looked out of the door and said, "Tong Guan himself is from the palace, and the incorruptible envoy may not be reliable, tell me about your next plan." ”

Cao Qianli breathed a sigh of relief, casually doubting that the person he trusted was not comfortable, Yang Zhi's method was simple and effective, and he would not wronged a good person; Yang Jian's question meant that he approved Yang Zhi's plan, as for whether it was an incorruptible envoy, it was not the key to the problem, Cao Qianli asked Yang Zhi: "What are you going to do?"

"If you agree, I'll go and carry the green salt. Yang Zhi said calmly: "I have a friend named Hua Zixu, who is rich, this time I took him and Pan Shumin to Pingxia City to transport the green salt in the hands of the planter back to Bianliang as much as possible." Sect Master Cao can use this matter to release false news. ”

Cunning, Yang Jian naturally knew that Hua Zixu was the nephew of his henchman Hua Eunuch, Yang Zhi did this to tell Yang Jian that he was responsible for running errands, and if Yang Jian wanted to make money in it, he could arrange for Hua Zixu to come forward. Yang Jian couldn't help but look at Yang Zhi, if Yang Zhi had such resourcefulness in the officialdom, how could he make a mess of his own affairs in the previous years, was it really enlightened.

Cao Qianli also knew who Hua Zixu was, and said with a smile: "This is the best, it is not a matter if the green salt is always placed at the border, and I will handle the identification of Yanzhou myself." ”
