Wang Han knew that playing chess was a sad thing, so he hurriedly instructed his men to do it; Yang Zhi ate half a plate of dim sum, drank a cup of new tea, and signaled Wang Han to start. Wang Han relied on his identity, so he could only let Yang Zhi go first, and Yang Zhi still used the opening of the cosmic flow; Wang Han dealt with it carefully, but he was still surrounded by Yang Zhi into a huge field, although Wang Han's chess strength was stronger than Yang Zhi, and he grabbed back a lot of the field at the end, and finally lost with one son.

The proprietor Cao Qianli had already come downstairs, Cao Qianli was a middle-aged man in his forties, similar to Yang Zhi's figure, well-proportioned, with a long shaved face, a high bulge of his bones, his eyes were faintly bright, and his expression was abnormal; Cao Qianli saw that the victory and defeat had been divided, and he arched his hand to Yang Zhi and said: "Yang Daxia, I am Cao Qianli, the boss of the chess club, and today let me wait to see that there are people outside the mountain, admire." Mr. Liu is upstairs, I want to meet you, can you move? ”

Cao Qianli is the descendant of Cao Guo's uncle Cao Tong, the sect master of the Phantom Sword Sect, when has he been so polite to people, Xie Shi and Yang Zhi both understand that Liu Zhongfu is a pretext, but if the other party is a big man, he can only complain if he wants to hide, Yang Zhi arched his hand and said: "Then there is the introduction of the sect master of Lao Cao." ”

As soon as Yang Zhi entered the room, he saw Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, and hurriedly pulled Xie Shi to kneel and kowtow, Zhao Ji motioned for the two to get up and said, "This is outside, there is no need to be so polite, you just call me Zhao Daguanren." Yang Zhi, who did you learn from at this start?"

This is the beginning of a few hundred years later, but Song Huizong's question can't help but answer, Yang Zhi said in a hurry: "This is taught by a master who practiced qi when the villain was a child, and it is said that he realized it from the chess game between Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the bearded guest. It's just that the method of setting the Central Plains is too wonderful, and the villain master changed it to the method of encircling the middle field. ”

Song Huizong Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Sure enough, capable people are all over the four fields, Yang Zhi, if you can find your master, let him come to Bianliang to see me." Today, I have another thing for you to do. ”

Yang Zhi hurriedly knelt down and said, "The villain is willing to serve the big officials. ”

"Get up. Yang Jian came forward for Song Huizong and Zhao Ji and said, "Do you know Qingyan?"

Yang Zhi naturally knew that green salt was the economic pillar of Western Xia, produced in the Yanzhou area, and the green salt was pure in quality, slightly green, and could be used as currency; Yang Zhi replied "I know", and Song Huizong Zhao Ji showed a pleased smile, got up and left, and went to other rooms accompanied by Xu Zhichang.

Yang Jian continued: "For this reason, the Western Xia Dynasty forced our dynasty to purchase green salt in exchange for supplies; although our dynasty strictly forbade smugglers from entering the country, it is a pity that the wealth is moving, and there are too many people who take risks in the face of interests, and the trend of smuggling cannot be stopped, and the number of smugglers is quite huge. The senior officials wanted to send individuals to the northwest to investigate the facts so that they could decide on what to do. ”

Yang Zhi knew that since he heard this, he couldn't get out, so he said, "The villain is willing to go." ”

Yang Jian whispered: "We can't provide proof of identity, you can only investigate in a private capacity." ”

Yang Zhi said without hesitation: "The villain understands, but how to pass on the results of the investigation?"

Yang Jian said approvingly: "You can contact Boss Cao about these, except for a few of us, no one else can say anything." ”

After Yang Jian finished speaking, he also left, and Cao Qianli showed a wry smile and said: "What Zhao Daguan wants to know is whether Tong Guan's Western Army is involved in smuggling green salt; The generals of the Western Army are now frightened birds, and if a stranger makes a move, I am afraid that he will not be able to help but kill people; Yang Zhi, I know that you are strong in martial arts, but I can only say that everything is careful, I have two points in Yanzhou, which can deliver news for you. Mr. Xie stayed in Bianliang as your answer. ”

This is to take Xie Shi as a hostage, when Cao Qianli said this, he was ready for Yang Zhi and Xie Shi to change color at the same time, but the two of them looked calm, as if they were listening to something that had nothing to do with them. Xie Shi didn't even have a frightened look, Yang Zhi said quietly: "Sect Master Cao, if I were just an ordinary person, it would be difficult to involve the high-level of the Western Army, and in the end, it would be a few junior officers with some soldiers to make extra money. ”

The Western Army is now rampant in the Great Song Dynasty, but when Yang Zhi said it, it was like talking about a common man on the street, Cao Qianli secretly praised and asked: "What do you think?"

Yang Zhi said calmly: "Sect Master Cao, please rest assured, no matter what, for the benefit of the Great Song Dynasty, Yang will go all out." However, life and death in the next place are small, and the matter of delaying the big officials is big, if it is a conspiracy to enrich the pockets of some people in the squeezing field, the private status is sufficient; if it involves the upper echelons, you should still send officials to assist in the investigation, since it is suspected that the Western army is involved, then many military forbidden places will become warehouses and passages, not to mention the common people, even local officials are not allowed to enter. ”

Cao Qianli is not an official, Yang Zhi's words are much more straightforward, making money is a well-known thing in the army, there is no need to investigate at all, it is the forbidden army stationed in Bianliang, look at the military warehouse of the palace front division, you can know how many private goods are hidden by Gao Yu; Yan'an Sixth Road, that Tiangao Emperor is far away, the problem can only be more serious. Cao Qianli hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll give you one hundred taels of gold as a fee to see if I can buy the officers to get in." ”

A hundred taels of gold is a lot. But there was a trace of anger in Yang Zhi's heart, even if Cao Qianli pretended to run out, Yang Zhi's feelings would be better when he came back, and his current attitude showed that Cao Qianli either thought that Yang Zhi was asking for money, or he knew that it would be in vain to ask. Could it be that no one among these people has considered that those who go will be in danger, Yang Zhi understands what the problem is, that is, the five groups of people sent by Cao Qianli in front of him should be alive in Tong Guan's hands, so Song Huizong and Zhao Ji have no confidence.

Yang Zhi showed a knowing smile and said, "Can Sect Master Cao give me the information of the first five groups of people and the situation of those two groups?"

Cao Qianli naturally agreed, and after Yang Zhi and Xie Shi left, Cao Qianli went next door to see Song Huizong Zhao Ji and said, "Great official, everything is done." ”

Zhao Ji looked around at everyone and asked, "Do you think Yang Zhi can succeed, will he be like Hua Shigang and escape halfway?"

Yang Jian shook his head and said: "After Yang Zhi drank the blood of the strange snake, there has been an obvious change, I went to the scene on the day of the accident, and the blue spots on Yang Zhi's forehead are still there, and now there are no traces at all." Last night, Gao Yu asked the Seven Buddhas of the Southern Dao Fang to make a move, and Yang Zhi was just a draw, and today's Go is even more blockbuster, according to the old slave's estimate, Yang Zhi's changes are bloodline, as long as Xie Shi is in our control, Yang Zhi will not run. ”

Xu Zhichang agreed: "When Yang Zhi sets off, see how Yang Zhi arranges it." ”
