Li Yanqing took the letter and pondered for a long time, a month ago, Qin Hui was not too Xuexue, Qin Hui should have been appointed as Taixue Xuezheng after he left, and in less than a month, Qin Hui attacked him, and there was obviously someone behind him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

You don't have to think about Li Yanqing to guess that this must be Cai Jing's instructions, and he is a banner erected by Tong Guan in Taixue, but in Cai Jing's heart, he is like a thorn in his back, and he can't wait to get rid of it quickly.

actually took out the two things of last year to make a fuss, which shows that Qin Hui has good intentions, and Li Yanqing also believes that Qin Hui has the evidence, as long as he sends someone to investigate, he can know the truth or falsehood.

It's just that..... Qin Hui could have expelled himself from Taixue with a dismissal notice or a withdrawal letter, but he used a slightly gentler way to let himself go to Taixue to explain, Qin Hui was obviously not reckless, he didn't dare to do it too obviously, he should be afraid of Tong Guan.

"Little official, what's going on?" Uncle Zhong asked in a low voice on the side.

Li Yanqing woke up from his contemplation, and he immediately said to Uncle Zhong: "Help me clean up, I will rush back to the capital immediately." ”

"Is the little official leaving?"

Li Yanqing walked quickly to the house, and Uncle Zhong followed and said, "Do you want me to consign the books of the little official to the capital?" ”

"How to consign Uncle Zhong, do you know?"

"I know, I helped the old man to transport things to the Xinqiao store in Bianjing, the river has been frozen, and I asked the mules and horses in Lushan Town to transport them, and they often deliver them to the capital."

"Then it's troublesome Uncle Zhong!"

Li Yanqing quickly packed up the book, wrote another letter to Wang Gui, and then returned to the capital.

At this time, it was late November, the cold wind was bitter, the river was frozen, and a light snow had fallen a few days ago, making the official road very muddy and difficult, and two days later, Li Yanqing arrived at the Yellow River.

The Yellow River has been frozen, there is no need for boat ferries, pedestrians and caravans go directly on the ice of the Yellow River, to the opposite bank, the original ferryman changed to an ice sled business, pedestrians sit on the ice sled, you can directly pull to the other side, two hundred yuan per person, the price is not expensive.

"Rent a pair of leather pants!"

A vendor smiled at Li Yanqing: "The cold on the ice is too heavy, and without old sheepskin pants like mine, my body can't withstand it." ”

The vendor said as he looked at Li Yanqing, and he wondered in his heart, why did this young man only wear a single coat, wasn't it cold?

Li Yanqing has been running for many years, and he only needs to wear a single coat in winter, and he doesn't have to worry about the cold when crossing the river, but his horse needs to be protected, he stepped forward and asked, "Is there any protective gear for horses?" ”

"Of course there is, there is a full set of donkey and horse protective gear, mainly to protect the stomach and limbs, all wrapped in sheepskin, the horse is a little more expensive, a hundred dollars at a time, I will send you over."

Li Yanqing noticed that there were already dozens of pedestrians and a caravan ready to set off, the caravan was composed of more than 100 healthy donkeys, large and small, each donkey was carrying two large bags of goods, there was an unpleasant smell, Li Yanqing's heart moved, the smell of this kind of goods seemed to be the unique smell of tallow.

He also noticed that there were a total of four men greeting more than 100 healthy donkeys, the leader was a man in his thirties, who looked very strong, and his accent was very similar to that of Uncle Wen in the village, who seemed to be from Youzhou.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the stall owner to wrap his horse, Li Yanqing stepped forward and asked, "This eldest brother is from Youzhou!" ”

Many people around looked at the man together, it was actually a native of Liao, since the man had traveled south and north, and had seen a lot of the world, he said unhurriedly: "We are all Youzhou Han'er, and we often come to the Great Song Dynasty to deliver goods, what advice does this brother have?" ”

He blew up his identity, they are all Han people from Youzhou, and they often come to the Great Song Dynasty, and the eyes of the people around him have softened a lot, you must know that the Song Liao has a century-old feud, if the Khitan people come to the Great Song Dynasty alone, if they are beaten by the group, it will already be a blessing in misfortune.

Li Yanqing hurriedly explained: "I don't mean anything else, a friend of mine also went to Youzhou to buy goods, maybe you will have contact." ”

The man still kept his distance, and said coldly: "There are many Han people who go to Youzhou to buy goods, and I may not know them." ”

Li Yanqing patted the goods, "If I guessed correctly, these goods should be tallow!" ”

He looked at the man with a guarded face and said with a smile: "My friend's name is Li Dongdong, and he went to Youzhou to buy tallow." ”

The man's face was a little calmer, he obviously knew the name Li Dongdong, but he was still on guard, and said to Li Yanqing very politely: "We are only responsible for delivery, we don't contact specific merchants, I'm sorry!" ”

"This goods belong to Bianjing Baoyanzhai! If so, then we can go together. ”

"Does this brother have anything to do with Bao Yan Zhai?"

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "My father is the proprietor of Baoyan Zhai. ”

The man suddenly said, "You are the ...... of the Bow Horse Competition"

He heard Li Dongdong boast that the young proprietor won the first place in last year's bow horse competition, which made them infinitely admired.

Li Yanqing smiled, "Under Li Yanqing, Li Dongdong may be a little exaggerated." ”

The four of them hurriedly stepped forward to salute, they were indeed entrusted by Li Dongdong to send more than 20,000 catties of tallow to the capital, with a little tallow mixed with glycerin to make rouge will have a better effect, and the soap made of tallow will make the skin more delicate and lubricated, is the necessary raw material of Baoyan Zhai's top soap 'beauty fat', such a soap will cost ten dollars, but it is still in short supply.

"Official, the horses are wrapped, let's go!"

Dozens of people and a caravan followed the vendors and set off, Li Yanqing followed the caravan and asked the man with a smile: "May I ask your surname?" ”

"In the next exemption, your surname is Zhang, and everyone calls me Zhang Jiu."

"Then I'll call my brother Ninth Brother!"

A guy in the back laughed, "We all call him Brother Jiu!" ”

"Does Brother Nine often go south?"

"I used to come often, but I haven't gotten much in the past two years."

"Why?"

"The war is tight! Liao is catching Ding everywhere, I originally had more than 100 guys, nearly a thousand donkeys and mules, but now, there is only this bit of belongings left, if it weren't for the family in Youzhou, we really don't want to go back. ”

"I heard that the Jurchens are attacking Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo?" Li Yanqing asked tentatively.

"Tokyo was captured last year, the Liao 100,000 army was wiped out, and now another Jurchen army is besieging Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, the two sides are fighting a tug-of-war, I heard that it is extremely tragic, once Changba County is captured, Shangjing will be over."

A guy next to him added: "Now the nobles of the Liao State have fled to Nanjing, that is, our Youzhou, only the Emperor of the Liao State refuses to flee south, and sits in the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, saying that he wants to fight to the death with the Jin soldiers, and we all feel that there is more luck and less luck." ”

"What about the inside of the Liao Kingdom?"

Li Yanqing continued to ask: "What do the people think? ”

Zhang Jiu laughed, "The little member is very interested in Liaojin!" ”

Li Yanqing also smiled and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Jiu, I will participate in the imperial examination next spring, I'm afraid that the situation in Liao will be involved in the strategy, so I'm very concerned, it's a little troublesome for Brother Jiu." ”

Zhang Jiu suddenly smiled: "If this is the case, I will tell the little staff two exclusive news, I just came back from the Xingqing Mansion of Western Xia last month, the envoys of the Liao State borrowed troops from the Western Xia, but they were rejected, the envoys of the Liao State scolded the King of the Western Xia, and as a result, they angered the other party, and the Liao envoys who were ready to leave the Western Xia were arrested again, this is what I saw with my own eyes, we were panicked at the time, lest the Xixia people attack us." ”

"Another piece of news?" Li Yanqing asked again.

"There is also a news that we heard in Xijing Datong Mansion after we left Xixia, Xixia stationed tens of thousands of troops on the border of Liao, I don't know whether I want to meet the Liao army, or want to defend against the Liao army to retaliate, but no one can imagine that there are only a few thousand Liao soldiers left in Xijing, and the 100,000 Liao troops in Xijing have been transferred to Shangjing to participate in the battle, and the troops in Datong are very empty."

"Does Brother Jiu think that Western Xia's intention is to take the opportunity to attack the Liao army?" Li Yanqing asked again.

Zhang Jiu nodded, "Xixia has a lot of eyes and ears in Datong Mansion, not to mention eyes and ears, there are also many merchants, how can Xixia not know that the Liao soldiers in Datong Mansion are empty, since they dare to imprison the envoys of Liao, I think they just want to take the opportunity to fall into the ground." ”

Li Yanqing realized that this was an extremely important piece of information, and it was necessary to let the imperial court know, so he smiled and said, "After arriving in the capital, I want Brother Jiu to see someone." ”

"Who does my brother want me to meet?"

"Just know if you go, it will only be good for Brother Jiu."
