On the evening of May 16, the same day Wanyan Salihe learned that Dingxiang had been captured by Wu Jie, the news that the Jin army sent troops from Daizhou finally reached Yanjing.

"What the fuck did you say?"

Zong Wang, who always spoke kindly, looked at the messenger and almost couldn't help but grab the incense burner on the table and throw it at him.

"Your Highness, it's absolutely true, everyone in Sa Lihe has sent troops!"

There was a brief silence at the scene.

"Who gave him the courage!" Zong Wang roared angrily.

"He...he had received orders from Zhongshu Ling before and was waiting for the opportunity..."

Zong Wang's face turned livid.

"Your Highness, Daizhou received news that the Song army was attacking Fuzhou Zhe Keqiu, and Sa Lihedutong sent out troops only then."

"The Song army's crusade has failed. Why is he so anxious to send troops?" Zong Wang was so angry that he flew into a rage.

"he……"

Liu Yanzong said: "Sa Li and Du Tong wanted to avenge Jingkang for three years and were eager to fight Wu Jie."

"Idiot! Big idiot!"

Zong Wang has never been so out of sorts.

Wanyan Jing was confused and asked: "Father, since Wu Jie sent troops to Taiyuan and Sa Lihe took the opportunity to go south to Taiyuan, what's wrong with this?"

"Is this an expansion of the front line or a declaration of war?" Zong Wang said, "Zhongshu Ling is currently fighting against Goryeo, which has already been criticized in the court. If at this time, the war situation with the Song Dynasty in Hedong and Hebei is fully expanded. , what will Shangjing think?"

Zong Wang always considers issues very comprehensively.

He knew that since Zong Pan came to power, the cracks within the Jin Kingdom were getting bigger and bigger.

Zong Han took charge of Liaoyang on the Tokyo Road and sent troops to Goryeo, which was contrary to his will to go to Beijing.

This incident has intensified political conflicts in Beijing.

Although Zong Pan does not have much real power, people with real power can use Zong Pan's attitude to attack Zong Han from a political level, which will definitely lead to a greater wave of political turmoil.

At this time, troops were sent south to attack the Song Dynasty?

Isn’t this adding to the chaos?

Wan Yanjing said: "Father, I don't think the Song Dynasty can fight."

"Why?"

"In the past year, the Song and Jin Dynasties have been discussing business, and many people from the Song Dynasty have been doing business with our dynasty. In this trade, there are a large number of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. If an all-out war breaks out, those high-ranking officials and dignitaries will suffer the most."

Wanyan Jingsha analyzed it matter-of-factly.

"The execution power of the Song Dynasty's war is precisely in the hands of those high-ranking officials. Although the army is on the front line, the mobilization of the rear, the collection of materials, etc. are all completed by civilian officials. Even finance and taxation must rely on civilian officials. Internally, the Song Dynasty The war may not be less controversial than ours."

Liu Yanzong nodded and said, "Your Highness, this statement does make sense."

"No, no, you don't know much about the Zhao Guan family." Zong Wang shook his head, "I admit that this can cultivate a group of advocates within the Song Dynasty, but the time is too short, and the dignitaries have not had time to establish more The coexistence of interests, triggering a war at this time will only quickly expose this problem, arouse the vigilance of Zhao Guan's family, and force him to quickly rectify the internal affairs, which will be a blow to our efforts to cultivate the peace faction within the Song Dynasty!"

When Zong Wang said this, Wanyan Jing was immediately speechless.

"Instruct all the garrison troops in Hebei to pay close attention to the movements of the Song army." Zong Wang said.

"yes!"

"Go and find Xilin Helu."

Not long after, Xilinhelu came.

"Your Highness."

"Sa Lihe went south to attack Taiyuan."

Xilin Helu was stunned for a moment, confused by this sudden news.

"Now you go to Zhending and try to find a way to meet with Song officials and convey my message. I hope to continue to maintain peace."

"Your Highness, this..."

"Go quickly!"

"yes!"

Zong Wang is definitely not a capitulator. He doesn't want to attack the Song Dynasty, but the time has not come yet!

The Kingdom of Jin has just made such a big mistake and is experiencing internal turmoil. If it rashly launches a full-scale war, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When it gets dark, the city of Tokyo is also suffocating.

The thick stratus clouds seemed to be pressing down at any moment.

The willow trees on the banks of the Bianhe River are motionless, boatmen are docking one after another, and the ferry is speeding up unloading.

As we all know, it is the calm before the storm.

Gao Qiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly entered the palace.

At the gate of the palace, he met Cai Mao who was about to go home.

"Why is Captain Gao so urgent?"

"Oh, Mr. Cai." Gao Qiu always respected Cai Mao, and his tone was very polite.

"Captain Gao looks so radiant today!" Cai Mao joked.

"Xiangong Cai is joking, I haven't slept well for several nights recently."

"Oh, why are you so sad?"

"Don't mention it, Zhan Dafang." Gao Qiu glanced around secretly and said in a low voice, "It's a big deal!"

"how do I say this?"

Gao Qiu was about to say something when he suddenly realized something. He smiled quickly and said, "Ms. Cai, I have something important to do to meet with an official. Please excuse me!"

"Lieutenant Gao, walk slowly."

Looking at Gao Qiu's back, Cai Mao smiled.

Hall of Wende.

Gao Qiu laid out one piece after another.

"Your Majesty, this is Liu Wangxian's account book, this is Zhan Dafang's account book, and this is Wang Qian's account book. They are indeed involved in smuggling, creating fake trading company certificates, and are suspected of tax evasion."

"You can ask the Audit Court to check these, and then let the Ministry of Punishment take charge. I don't want to know the details, I just want the list."

"Your Majesty, there is one more important thing."

"What's the matter?"

"When we were interrogating Zhan Dafang's son, who do you think he mentioned?"

Zhao Ning looked at Gao Qiu with confusion. Seeing Gao Qiu's proud look, he wanted to slap him.

"Say it!"

"Mentioned the former Jingdong East Road Transportation Department's transportation department, He Jincai."

"He Jincai?" Zhao Ning didn't remember this person.

"It was He Jincai who had expropriated money in Qingzhou together with Zhang Lu of Fuzhou. I sent He Bin to Qingzhou to capture him, but he hanged himself."

"Oh, it's him, I remembered it."

Gao Qiu continued: "This Zhan Dafang has a large silk business on Jingdong East Road. He also sent money to Zhang Cui, the former transshipment envoy on Jingdong East Road, and his business with the Kingdom of Jin did not go through the market. Guess where he went?"

"

"Gao Qiu, do you feel that you are tired of living?"

"They went out to sea from Dengzhou Port, went north to Liaodong, and entered Gaizhou. The Jin people built a port in Gaizhou!" Gao Qiu didn't dare to sell out, and said quickly, "And there was also a Jin person named Xizuo who once met him as a businessman.

If you want to meet Zhan Dafang and talk about bigger deals, go to Dengzhou Port!"

Zhao Ning's face finally darkened: "You mean, the Qingzhou case is related to Zhan Dafang?"

"At present, it seems that there is no direct connection, but where some of the materials collected by Qingzhou are sold at high prices, I am afraid it needs to be verified!"

Zhao Ning stared at Gao Qiu: "Why did Zhan Dafang's son betray him?"

"Want to live."
