Fang Zian breathed a sigh of relief, slowly stepped forward, and bowed: "Commander, please forgive me for being so rude. I need these supplies very much, so please approve the allocation of them, Commander-in-Chief."

"What's the reason?" Yang Cunzhong tapped his thick fingers on the table, making a clicking sound, and looked at Fang Zian with a half-smile.

"It's extremely dangerous to go on a mission to the Kingdom of Jin. I want to ensure that the mission is safe, so I need these equipment." Fang Zian said solemnly.

Yang Cunzhong said coldly: "How did you know it was so dangerous? If the two armies are fighting and you don't kill the envoys, even if your talks with the Jin people break up, they won't kill you. What are you afraid of?"

Fang Zian said slowly: "Commander, the Jin man is not scary, the scary thing is the villain in the dark. Beizi has offended someone, and someone wants to kill Beizi and Mr. Shi. Beizi is worried that they will use the Jin man's hand to kill people with a knife.

Therefore, we have to guard against humble positions."

Yang Cunzhong slowly sat up and said in a deep voice: "This is what you want to say to me? Who is the villain in the dark? Who will kill you with the help of the golden man?"

Fang Zian slowly took out a cloth bag from his arms, and before handing it to Yang Cunzhong, he said softly: "Commander, I have something here. Please take a look at it."

Fang Zian put the cloth bag on the table. Yang Cunzhong reached out to open it and take a look. Fang Zian said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you'd better think about it. After seeing this thing, I'm afraid you will know something shocking."

This is a horrifying thing. If the Commander-in-Chief does not want to wade into troubled waters, he can take back this thing now."

Yang Cunzhong was stunned and glared at Fang Zian: "Are you playing tricks with me? Are you using provocation at this time? I'll just look at it. No matter how serious you say it, can I still accept your threats?"

?If I don’t want to take care of it, no one can force me to do it. If I want to take care of it, no one can stop me.”

Fang Zian hurriedly said: "Commander, how can I dare to force and provoke the generals in my humble position? This is what I mean in my heart. This incident... is too shocking. It will have a huge impact on our country, the Song Dynasty, and may even cause unpredictable consequences."

I must explain it clearly to you. I don’t want to embarrass the commander-in-chief and drag him into this matter."

Yang Cunzhong sneered: "It's so serious? Then why did you come to see me and show it to me? Haven't you already planned to trick me into seducing me?"

Fang Zian sighed and said in a low voice: "Because... because... I have no other choice but to come to the palace commander. Looking at the entire court, I can only report this matter to the palace commander. I don't want this to be reported to the palace commander."

If the matter is brought to the ground, I may not be able to come back alive from this trip. Someone must know this secret. And the palace commander is the only person I trust among the officials in the government and the public."

Yang Cunzhong sneered, without comment, reached over and grabbed the small cloth bag in his hand, opened up the layers of wrapped cloth, and revealed the gold medal.

"What is this? What is written on it?" Yang Cunzhong picked up the gold medal, turned it over and looked at it, and asked with a frown.

"This is the Jin Kingdom's longevity gold medal. The inscription on it is in Jurchen script, which is the script used before the Jin Kingdom. This is the inscription that was translated based on our Song Dynasty script. Please take a look at it." Fang Zian took a look at it.

The paper with the translated text was handed over.

"A thing from the Kingdom of Jin?" Yang Cunzhong was already a little surprised. After reading the words on the paper, he stood up in shock and said: "The death-free gold medal from the Kingdom of Jin? Where did you get it?"

Fang Zian didn't hide anything at the moment. He tricked himself into sneaking into Qin Hui's house by pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, and reported everything about how he stole the object from Getian Pavilion. Yang Cunzhong heard this with shock on his face and his eyebrows furrowed.

"Hello Fang Zian,

How brave you are. As an official of the imperial court, you actually do such an illegal thing behind your back. Send someone to set a fire? Sneak into the prime minister's house to steal? What kind of act is this? If you hadn't said it yourself, how could I believe that you actually did it?

Did something like this happen?" Yang Cunzhong shouted.

Fang Zijing said quietly: "Since I confessed this matter to the commander in chief, I am not afraid of taking responsibility. The commander in chief can tie me up and hold me accountable. But before I confess my guilt, doesn't the commander in chief not care about why this gold medal is in Qin Hui's hands?"

What? This is the death-free gold medal of the Jin Kingdom. Qin Hui treasured it and hid it by his side. What does that mean? Qin Hui is a fine work of the Jin Kingdom. This is a sure thing. This thief is treasonous and collaborating with the enemy. Now he has occupied me.

In the Song Dynasty, when he was in a high position, he confused the emperor and defrauded the emperor's favor. In a low position, he could plead guilty before the law, but what about Qin Hui?"

Yang Cunzhong sneered: "This gold medal doesn't mean anything. Your words may not be credible. How do I know this is not a story you made up. Besides, since you stole this gold medal and believed it was evidence of Qin Hui's collaboration with the enemy, why didn't you make it public?

But you brought it to show me. What’s the purpose?”

Fang Zian said: "Commander, you don't have to believe me, but I must tell the truth. It is true that this thing is Qin Hui's crime of collaborating with the enemy, but it is not enough to completely prove it. There is neither Qin Hui's name nor any other name on the gold medal.

Evidence of collaborating with the enemy. If I make this thing public, the old thief will push it away and say that it does not belong to him. He will even bite back and say that I slandered him. By then, my humble position will be covered in dirty water. Besides,

I set fire to create chaos and stole this. If I can't fully prove that this is proof that the old thieves are collaborating with the enemy, I will be asking for trouble if I make it public rashly. The only mistake I made was that I didn't figure out what this gold medal was, so I rashly disclosed it.

He stole it out, which alerted the old thief and aroused his vigilance. This time I went to the Kingdom of Jin as an envoy, I believe it was the old thief's conspiracy to kill people with a knife. Because on the surface he couldn't attack Mr. Shi and me, but

The gold medal is in our hands, after all, it is a handle. He must get rid of me and Mr. Shi to ensure that the gold medal will not be made public and will not become his hidden worry. The harsh and rude conditions suddenly proposed by the Jin this time,

I suspect that the old thief temporarily asked the Kingdom of Jin to cooperate with him, and deliberately put forward these conditions to create a crisis in the relationship between the two countries, so that he could naturally send Master Shi and me to negotiate. All of this was carefully arranged by him

It's just a trick. I firmly believe this."

Yang Cunzhong frowned and thought.

Fang Zian continued: "The reason why I came to see the Commander-in-Chief is because I think the Commander-in-Chief is loyal and upright and definitely not a member of the Qin Party. Even if the Commander-in-Chief won't help me, he won't help the traitor Qin Hui. I'll bring him

This gold medal, to report the cause and effect, is because I am worried that if Mr. Shi and I cannot come back from this trip, the evidence of the old traitor's collaboration with the enemy will be destroyed. Even if Mr. Shi and I die, the evidence is in the hands of the palace commander, Qin Hui will not dare

If he does something outrageous, the palace commander will keep a close eye on him. The palace commander is an important minister of the Song Dynasty and is loyal to the court and the emperor. Although his humble position cannot be compared with the palace commander, he still performs his duty for the people of the Song Dynasty.

This matter is related to the country and the country of the Song Dynasty. Even if the commander-in-chief cannot trust his humble position, we cannot completely ignore such a major event."

Yang Cunzhong nodded slowly, stared at the gold medal for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "You just want me to keep this secret for you? Rather than wanting me to stand up for you?"

Fang Zian shook his head and said: "I have never thought of this. If the evidence is conclusive, I will report the matter myself, and there is no need to alarm the commander. What's more, the evidence is not sufficient, and we can't let the commander go into this muddy water. I am just worried about this.

You can't come back alive after going to the Kingdom of Jin. You can't let the old thief run free. The palace commander knows about it and keeps this gold medal. If the old thief does something strange, the palace commander will also know about it in his heart.

Number. If I am lucky enough to survive this trip, I will have to find some more evidence in the Jin Kingdom. Since Qin Hui is a meticulous work of the Jin Kingdom, it is impossible that there will be no clues to investigate in the Jin Kingdom."

Yang Cunzhong raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "You actually want to check for evidence in the Kingdom of Jin? If what you said is true, you will die if you go to the Kingdom of Jin. Do you still have time to investigate these things?"

Fang Zian said: "I know it's difficult, but I have to do it. Otherwise, there are ten thousand ways to avoid this humble job. For example... I can cut off my arm with a knife now, and if it is seriously injured, my body will be disabled and I will not be able to do it."

The most important reason why I am willing to go is that I know that only in the Kingdom of Jin can I find further evidence that Qin Hui is a spy. Without this gold medal, I might not dare to take such a risk.

But this gold medal is ironclad proof, which makes me firmly believe that Qin Hui must be a masterpiece of the Jin Dynasty, which makes a big difference."

Yang Cunzhong stared at Fang Zian and said: "Fang Zian, I admire you a little. Although I don't ask about the battles in the court, I am not deaf or blind. The fight between Prince Pu'an and Qin Hui, you and

I have also heard about the festivals between Qin Hui. But I never interfere in your affairs, because that is not my responsibility, and I am too lazy to care about it. However, I have to take care of this matter.

Yes. This is a major matter related to our Song Dynasty. If Qin Hui is really a mastermind of the Jin Kingdom, how can I sit idly by and watch. But there is insufficient evidence at present, and I can’t completely believe you. Since you said that this trip can obtain evidence, I will

I’ll give you this opportunity. I can keep this gold medal for you. I can also give you all the things you want, although I don’t think it’s of much significance.”

Fang Zian bowed and said in salute: "Thank you so much, Commander-in-Chief. His kindness will be unforgettable despite his humble position."

Yang Cunzhong waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me. I don't do it for your sake, but for the sake of the country. Even if there is a slight possibility, I can't treat it carelessly. But I also keep the ugly words in my head.

If what you say is all lies, I will be the first to tolerate you. If you and Mr. Shi are really killed by the Jin people, it will prove your words. In that case, I will write to Marshal Wu of Xichuan, and he and I will jointly expose the truth.

This matter. But if you are not dead and there is no evidence when you come back, then I will punish you because everything you said is lies."

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that if I find no evidence in my humble position, I can only die to prove it."

Yang Cunzhong said: "I'm not forcing you, you make your own choice."

Fang Zian gritted his teeth and said, "It's a deal."

Yang Cunzhong nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "What a true man. Just because you dare to agree, I will be impressed by you."

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said: "Do I have any other choice? Commander-in-Chief, I have a private request. I hope Commander-in-Chief can agree to it. Of course, Commander-in-Chief has helped me a lot. If you feel rude, I won't do it."

Force it."

Yang Cunzhong said: "Tell me."

Fang Zian said: "I'm worried that after Mr. Shi and I leave, the lives of the two women and children will be in danger. They will kill them all. If the palace commander can protect them, I will be grateful for my humble position."

Yang Cunzhong nodded slowly and said: "So that's what happened. Don't worry. After you leave, our Shenwu Army will dispatch soldiers and horses to protect your house. If you lose a hair, just ask this commander. Just come back."

If they cannot come back, as long as I, Yang Cunzhong, am alive, I will keep them safe."
