Yang Yizhong returned to the government office angrily and kicked a chair to pieces. His aide Su Lianggong was surprised, put down his pen and asked: "Why is the general so angry?"
"How can you not be angry when you are hit by Qin Hui's secret arrow?"
Yang Yizhong briefly told Su Lianggong what happened today. Su Lianggong smiled slightly and said: "Actually, the matter last time was not dealt with completely. The officials may have forgotten it, but people like Qin Hui are keeping an eye on it! It's a critical moment.
, he will use it as an excuse, not only escaping his own responsibilities, but also giving the general some shoes to wear, killing two birds with one stone."
"Then what should I do now? The officials have given me three days to eliminate the Western Army's intelligence spies. Time is running out! I simply have no idea how to start."
Su Lianggong smiled and said: "Didn't the general already know that Liuwei Teahouse is the home base of Western Army spies?"
"You won't let me really do it!"
Su Lianggong immediately understood that Yang Yizhong wanted to leave a way out for himself and did not want to offend the Western Army, but at the same time he had to give an explanation to the emperor and guard against a treacherous villain like Qin Hui. It was very difficult!
As a staff member, it is your duty to share the worries of your employer. How else can you show your value?
Su Lianggong thought for a moment and said, "Let me go talk to Hu Yun!"
As the special envoy of King Yong, Hu Yun's duty is to maintain the hypocritical peace between Chen Qing and the court and preserve the last trace of face. Zhao Gou and the court need such face, and so does Chen Qing.
Therefore, Hu Yun often participated in some important activities on behalf of King Yong, and often visited ministers and celebrities of the Song Dynasty to promote mutual understanding and reduce hostility.
It can be said that Hu Yun did an outstanding job, and even Emperor Zhao Gou admitted that he played a huge role.
At this time, Hu Yun received Yang Yizhong's adviser Su Lianggong in the official room. Among the many advisers Hu Yun knew, Hu Yun admired them very much. One was Wang Mu and the other was Su Lianggong. They had clear ideas.
Both Su Lianggong and Wang Mu had the qualities of being sharp-minded and able to grasp the essence of problems. Therefore, Hu Yun had always wanted to recruit Su Lianggong to Sichuan and Shaanxi.
After hearing Su Lianggong's intention, Hu Yun smiled and said, "Brother Su can really give me questions!"
Su Lianggong shook his head, "I didn't give you the questions, you came up with the questions yourself. You burned down the Yangzhou grain depot, so you should be mentally prepared."
Hu Yun narrowed his eyes and said with a sly smile: "But there is no evidence that the Yangzhou granary was burned by the Western Army scouts. Maybe it was burned by the Jin Kingdom spies? Wanyan Wushu also wanted to prevent the imperial army from going north. He burned the granary.
The motivation is stronger than ours."
"It doesn't matter who burned it. The key is that the emperor believes that you did it. Unless you can produce evidence to prove that it was Jin Bing who did it, it will be difficult to change the emperor's perception."
"Then what kind of help does Brother Su want from me?"
Su Lianggong was also unambiguous and said directly: "My general hopes that you can help solve this problem. The army will besiege Liuweiju Tea House tonight. General Yang hopes to gain everything.
In addition, General Yang also hopes that Qin Hui will shut up, you should have a way, Qin Hui seems to give in to King Yong at critical moments, you should have caught his sore foot."
Hu Yun smiled and said: "Qin Hui's previous sore foot was his son Lin Yifei, but now there is no need to arrest him. If he dares to offend King Yong, we will directly kill his son or let him die violently.
, this is what he fears most."
After a pause, Hu Yun smiled again: "But General Yang can't do such a thing, I'll help you! Gu Yanxin did not commit suicide out of fear of crime. He took his family back to his hometown in Sichuan. The illusion of committing suicide in fear of crime in the mansion was obviously made up by Qin Hui
To fool the emperor, I can provide evidence that Gu Yanxin is not dead."
"What evidence?"
Hu Yun took out a letter and handed it to Su Lianggong, "This is a letter written by Gu Yanxin in Wuhu County. It is addressed to his boss Yang Jin. He still has some unfinished official work. He needs to explain it, so please
Leave it to Yang Jin!"
Su Lianggong was overjoyed. With this letter, Qin Hui could only shut up.
Hu Yun said again: "You can act at night, I will make arrangements to give your General Yang some harvest, but let him wear a shield, otherwise the soldiers will be injured by arrows."
At night, Yang Yizhong deliberately created a momentum. He divided the three thousand troops into one hundred teams and went to various restaurants and teahouses in Lin'an to search for Western Army spies. They were scolded and beaten everywhere, making Lin'an a mess and filled with complaints from merchants.
At the first watch, Yang Yizhong personally led five hundred soldiers to surround Liuwei Tea House.
Yang Yizhong discovered that the Liuwei Teahouse was an intelligence station for the Western Army. The reason was also very simple. Hu Yun often came here, and Wang Mu also often came here. He sent people to monitor the teahouse and found that there were warriors in black at night. Yang Yizhong then
It is certain that Liuwei Tea House is the home base of Lin'an spies.
The five hundred soldiers were all wearing heavy armor, holding large shields and spears, and some soldiers were holding crossbows.
When the soldiers had just surrounded the teahouse, suddenly an arrow was shot from the second floor of the teahouse. "Ah!" a soldier screamed and was hit by an arrow in his left arm.
The two hundred soldiers in front were so frightened that they raised their shields. Yang Yizhong pointed his sword and shouted: "Fire rockets!"
Three hundred soldiers fired gunpowder arrows at the second floor at the same time, followed by a counterattack with arrows. Judging from the number of counterattacks,
After more than ten rounds of arrows, the teahouse finally caught fire. The fire took advantage of the wind and the fire in the teahouse burned bigger and bigger. People around the teahouse evacuated one after another. Fortunately, the area around the teahouse was very empty and did not affect other buildings.
The fire burned until noon the next day. The two-story teahouse was burned to ashes and completely collapsed. The soldiers entered carefully and found more than a dozen charred corpses. They also found seven unburned bronze plaques with clear inscriptions on them.
It can be seen that "Intelligence Scout Military Envoy" is followed by a number and no specific name. Immediately afterwards, eight more scattered bronze medals were found, and all the military medals of the fifteen corpses were found.
Yang Yizhong wondered why the dozens of people who were shooting arrows disappeared. They couldn't really be burned to death!
At this time, the soldier shouted, "Yang Dutong, there is a cave here!"
Yang Yizhong hurriedly stepped forward and saw that a stone slab was lifted open, revealing a large black hole.
"Throw a torch down!"
The soldier threw a torch down, and saw that the wind was pulling the flames, and the hole was open. Yang Yizhong immediately ordered a brave soldier to go in and investigate. After a while, the soldier shouted: "We found a box!"
"Keep going forward and see where the exit is?"
Soon, the soldier shouted from the riverside dozens of steps away: "Yang Dutong, I'm here!"
When everyone stepped forward, they found the soldiers emerging from the haystacks by the river. There was a big stone pushed away next to them.
A soldier said: "There seemed to be a boat in the river last night, and it was parked here!"
Yang Yizhong nodded and said to everyone: "More than a dozen of them were shot dead, and the rest ran away by boat."
The soldier handed the box to Yang Yizhong, "This is it, found in the cave!"
The box was not big, only one foot long. It must have been left behind in a hasty escape last night. Yang Yizhong opened the box and found letters and documents inside, with the word "confidential" stamped on it.
All kinds of information basically include Lin'an's people's livelihood, population distribution, etc., as well as detailed maps around Lin'an, and a letter of appointment.
"Appoint Dong An, the commander of the 7th Scout Battalion, as the general manager of the Lin'an Intelligence Station." Who is this Dong An? Yang Yizhong doesn't know. Could it be the real name of the teahouse shopkeeper?
In fact, these are not important. The important opponent cooperated very well and left the evidence to him. Now Yang Yizhong can explain to the emperor. He took away the Western Army Intelligence Station's nest and killed more than a dozen elite backbones.
Important information was also found.
At this time, a soldier hurried over to report, "To inform the capital, Dali Temple has re-examined Gu Yanxin's body and confirmed that the body is that of a sixty-year-old man who was a jailer during his lifetime."
Yang Yizhong sneered, what else could Qin Hui say now?
Yang Yizhong still felt that the letter was not convincing as evidence. It was not dated and signed, and it was not certain when it was written. So he asked Dali Temple for help to dig out the body of Gu Yanxin, who had hanged himself. This would directly prove that Qin Hui's report was a lie.
Of course, it was Hu Yun who told him that Gu Yanxin was not dead that made him think of this method, otherwise he would not be able to catch Qin Hui for a while and it would be difficult to deal with this bastard.
With the corpse as evidence, Qin Hui should shut up.
