Although Youzhou is the Nanjing of the Great Liao, the scale of the post house of the Great Song Dynasty is the largest of the three, equipped with the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites and the Privy Council, and the person in charge of the post house is Han Zhuo, a member of the Ministry of Rites, a member of the Han family in Hebei, and the grandson of the former privy envoy Han Jin. The person in charge of the military department was Liu Yan, the head of the household department, Xu Jingheng, the undertaker, and the Privy Council was Yu Hou Guan Suo Wang Xiong.

Although Zong Ze is the envoy of Zhao Jie of Song Huizong, but according to the official rank of the imperial court, Zong Ze's official position is lower than Han Zhuo, and many things cannot be decided at all, knowing that Yang Zhi has arrived in Youzhou, Han Zhuo does not agree to meet at the official mansion of Liao, and Yang Zhi is unwilling to go to the post house, and finally Zong Ze can only propose to meet Yang Zhi in a hotel Saiwailou not far from the post house. Saiwailou is the gathering place of Song merchants in Youzhou, the scenery and interior decoration are good, the taste of the dishes is similar to that of Bianliang Pan Building, it is the best restaurant in Youzhou.

But Yang Zhi still rejected this suggestion, Yang Zhi's attitude was very resolute, this time it was a meeting of Liao and Song officials, it should be on a more formal occasion, or a restaurant controlled by a third party, and finally Li Zhineng proposed that the two sides decide to meet in Nanshan Temple. Nanshan Temple is a strange place, there is no Nanshan around Youzhou, the temple is not on the mountain, the reason why it is called Nanshan Temple, is because the first generation of the host Jingwan master carved a stone tablet at the entrance of the temple, it is Tao Yuanming's famous sentence, "pick chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan".

Nanshan temple is more bamboo fence, chrysanthemum, ancient monument, Buddha statue, Jingwan master died cremation to leave two relics, also in an ancient tower collection; the temple has the palace of benevolence, the hall of the great majesty, the east and west with the hall, the bell and drum tower, the Dharma hall, the meditation hall, the hall, the hall, the hall of the house, the staggered, solemn and solemn, the forest is lush, pure and elegant. Yang Zhi stepped on it in advance, and was very satisfied with this arrangement, it was not for nothing that Li Zhi could dance with long sleeves and good at dancing.

Zong Ze looks like an old farmer, with dark skin and a dull expression, but his waist is straight, and his eyes are deep, compared with Master Tianxin, it seems that he can see your heart inadvertently. Zong Ze and Yang Zhi walked in the square outside the main hall, the surroundings were empty, and the monks and the retinues of both sides were scattered far away. Zong Ze said with a smile: "Yang Zhi, you are now a blockbuster, whether it is the Liao State or the people in the Great Song Dynasty, they all regard you as a hero. It's just that the officialdom of both countries is not optimistic about you. ”

Yang Zhi smiled and said: "You are in the picture, I just want to earn myself a chance to take refuge, and I don't have any ambitions." Master Zong, if you have something to say, please speak directly. ”

Zong Ze walked a few steps and said, "Tell me about the process of stealing books." ”

Zong Ze came from thousands of miles to inquire about this matter, and Yang Zhi did not hide it, and told him how he met a good monk in Shaohua Mountain, but he concealed that he could pretend to be Lan Bin. After hearing this, Zong Ze lost the smile on his face, and now Zong Ze completely understands why Song Huizong chose himself among the officials, because he has no background in the imperial court, has a strange personality, and will not be taken advantage of.

Zong Ze specially asked again about the relationship between the good monk and Zhao Shiju, Yang Zhi waved his hand and said: "Don't confirm with me, yes, the monk said this, I just heard it." In fact, this is a trivial matter, and the collusion between the border army and a good monk is a major matter. ”

Yang Zhi's meaning is very simple, yes, the monk will be ready to move if he has this strength, as for the name, it is not that he can talk nonsense at will, even if he does not use the name of Zhao Shiju, he will also use the name of Zhang Shiju and Li Shiju. Zong Ze bowed his head and said, "The emperor didn't mistake you, I hope you can go back." ”

Yang Zhi shook his head and said, "Master Zong, have you forgotten why you sent an envoy to Liao?"

Zong Ze was sentenced to Dengzhou, and found that the annual rent of the magnates and clan officials was passed on to the local people, and he angrily wrote to the imperial court, and after several years of debate and screening, the people of Dengzhou were finally exempted from the heavy additional burden, but Zong Ze offended too many people and had to return to his hometown at the age of sixty. Rao is like this, Zong Ze was also falsely accused of contempt for Taoism, and was originally going to be assigned to Zhenjiang to "organize and manage", but after Yang Zhi's incident, Zong Ze was entrusted with an important task.

Zong Ze didn't say anything to Yang Zhi anymore and hoped that Yang Zhi would return to the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Zhi's implication Zong Ze understood that Gao Yu and these people were still on the stage, and Yang Zhi would be sent to death when he went back, Zong Ze lowered his voice and said: "Some things will pass by as soon as I endure them, on the way I came, I passed by Tangyin, and met with Zhou Tong and Wang Ming, Zhou Dong still has an impression of you, ask me to say hello." Yang Zhi, can you do me a favor and inquire about the whereabouts of a few people for the sake of the face of fellow martial artists?"

Yang Zhi frowned, if it was a martial arts person who fled to Liao, as long as he didn't come forward to be an official, he definitely didn't want anyone to find out their traces, but according to Zong Ze's personality, he still had to push Zhou Tong to the front to say something, Yang Zhi couldn't help but give this face. But when he heard the details, Yang Zhi's face was very ugly, one of the people Zong Ze was looking for was the Jinshi Meng Yue ten years ago, who served as the Kaifeng Mansion Yi Cao for only one day, and then hung up the crown and left, and there has been no whereabouts since then, half a year ago, a guard who disappeared with Meng Yue was killed by the master of the Zhe family in Qizhou, only to know that Meng Yue was still in the world, and it was likely to be in Liao.

The second person is a Xiucai who fell off the list, a celebrity on the rivers and lakes, Xiao Rang, a scholar of the Holy Hand, who was framed by his friend Dabei Shou Miyayama, was beaten as a prisoner and sent to Xiongzhou, and finally disappeared. The latter two people are the meticulous works of the Song army, Zong Ze does not even have a name, only knows that one is codenamed Haiqing, mixed with smugglers and traffickers to enter the Liao State; the other is called Muji, who has been lurking in Youzhou for more than 20 years, and five years ago the Youzhou intelligence network was cracked by the Liao, and Muji has disappeared.

Yang Zhi refused on the spot, Meng Yue and Xiao Rang were fine, so they regarded it as a favor for their relatives and friends, but the matter of Haiqing and Muji was a trap, as long as they were touched, they forced themselves into their train of thought. Zong Ze was not in charge of this part back then, and the people who knew Haiqing and Muji didn't know much, maybe the two of them were dead, but the Liao people didn't find out their identities and dealt with them as ordinary people; maybe the two defected to the Liao State and were helping the Liao people to wait for the Song people to fall into the trap.

No matter what Zong Ze said, Yang Zhi didn't agree, Xue Libao and Wang Xiong and others could see that Yang Zhi's attitude was very poor, although there was no rude action, but it had changed from respect for Zong Ze at the beginning to impatience, until Zong Ze took out the list of materials from his sleeve, Yang Zhi's expression eased a little.
