Chapter 260 The Imperial City Division follows the clues (second update)
After the three of them left in secret, the capable detectives of the Imperial City Department quietly followed them from a distance.
Until they saw the three of them entering a house, someone would naturally go nearby to find out the name of the owner of the house and his official position.
Yelu Hongguang stared blankly at Wu Langzhong, a member of the Criminal Department of the Song Dynasty, and couldn't help but ask after a long time.
"Is this news true or false?"
Wu Langzhong spread his hands with a look of helplessness on his face.
"I don't know very well. After all, Wu is just a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment. I'm afraid I can only know the truth by asking Honglu Temple or the Privy Council about such things."
Yelu Hongguang nodded. He did not expect that when he came to visit Wu Langzhong, the Minister of Punishment of the Song Dynasty, he would receive such news.
Xixia and Song Dynasty have actually secretly negotiated peace? What does this mean?
Why Daliao didn't receive any news? The important thing is that Xixia had frequently sent letters to the Emperor of Daliao before, making him burst into tears.
Tell the Emperor of Liao that he will beat Song to pieces and Xixia will suffer great losses.
Therefore, I hope that for the sake of Xixia's obedience, the Emperor of Liao can come forward to suppress the Song Dynasty and force the Song Dynasty to give up the occupied territories.
And he was ordered to accompany Xiao Feng, who had risen to power through his sister, before he came to the Song Dynasty as an envoy, but he had not yet met the emperor of the Song Dynasty.
He had already received such news from this Song Dynasty criminal doctor who had a close friendship with the Liao Kingdom, which really surprised him.
His brain is obviously a bit exhausted. Since Xixia has already negotiated peace with the Song Dynasty, why bother to seek help from the Liao Dynasty?
What do you want to do with this horse riding? Besides, it’s just a peace negotiation. Is it necessary to act quietly? Is there some ulterior secret here?
At this moment, the chief officer of the Daliao Guoxin Institute felt that his brain, which was not powerful enough, was overheated and overloaded, and was about to be burned out.
After picking up the tea in front of him and taking a big gulp to calm down, Yelu Hongguang felt that he couldn't just listen to what the family said, but had to find other people to confirm the authenticity of the news.

Wu Langzhong personally delivered Yelu Hongguang, who had brought him such a generous gift as a substantial golden Buddha, to the door.
Watching the second-in-command of the Liao envoy walking away, he exhaled and subconsciously glanced around, then turned around and entered the house, closing the door.
When he thought that all he had to do was use his lips and tell the people of Liao some things he knew, he would be able to get a lot of reward.
This makes Wu Langzhong, who has been doing this for several years, very satisfied with this kind of work.
The only bad thing is that every time someone from the Liao people comes to visit me, I will always be frightened for a long time after receiving such a generous gift.
After I recovered and enjoyed the good things I exchanged for money, I couldn't help but miss these generous Liao people.
Just as Wu Langzhong took steps towards the depths of the mansion, he suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door.
Wu Langzhong couldn't help frowning, turned his head, and motioned to the old servant beside him to open the door. He began to mutter in his heart, maybe Yelu Hongguang had something else he needed to communicate with him.
Just as he was muttering in his mind, he heard an ouch from the old servant who was opening the door, and the door was roughly pushed open.
Wu Langzhong couldn't help but get angry. "Where did this bastard dare to break into my residence?"
"I've seen Wu Langzhong before. I'm sorry. These bastards under my command didn't understand the rules and frightened Wu Langzhong."
Only then did Wu Langzhong notice that among the group of rude men, a middle-aged man with a faint smile walked out.
Wu Langzhong narrowed his eyes and sneered twice.
"Since you know that your own subordinates don't know the rules, why don't you let them get out. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
"Oh, my official only said a few polite words. Do you really think of yourself as a person?"
This middle-aged man dressed in an ordinary wealthy gentleman's attire took out a bronze medal from his sleeve and flashed it towards Mr. Wu.
"Open your eyes and see which yamen this official is from."
Wu Langzhong stared at this man, and finally his eyes fell on the bronze medal in front of him.
With just one glance, the face of Wu Langzhong, who was originally full of red and was in his prime, immediately lost all color.
The words "Imperial City Chief Secretary" were like a reminder from the Lord of Hell placed in front of his eyes.
"I, I..." Wu Langzhong's lips trembled like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
This was the Imperial City Division who had never returned. He never thought that one day, the notorious and vicious Imperial City Division Chief would stand in front of him and give him a scary smile.
"If Mr. Wu doesn't want to disturb your family, just go with me honestly. Maybe you will have a chance to come back and reunite with your relatives."
"...Really?" Wu Langzhong raised his head, and in his expression full of despair, there was a light called hope.

Yelu Hongguang successively found two officials of the Song Dynasty who had secret connections with Daliao. The information he got from those two people was almost the same as the information he got from Wu Langzhong of the Ministry of Punishment.
At this time, Yelu Hongguang was a little confused. The important point was not whether Xixia would shake hands and make peace with the Song Dynasty.
Rather, it lies in whether there is any conspiracy behind the actions of Xixia and Song.
As an envoy of Daliao, I felt as if I was trapped in a fog, unable to figure out the direction.
Yelu Hongguang, who was confused and exhausted, led his two followers back to the restaurant quietly.
Afterwards, he changed into Liao people's robes, had something to eat and drank, and then followed the group of members of the envoy who were already drunk and returned to the house under surveillance.
But Xiao Fengxian was still wandering around outside, dinner was already served, and the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.
In the next moment, Gao Zhang left first, while Zhou Bangyan and Xiao Feng, who were ordered to stay and continue escorting, watched Gao Zhang drift away before turning their heads.
"Brother Xiao, let's go. Today, I will take you to a good place so that you can see the real charm of the Song Dynasty..."
"Everyone Zhou, I can't wait for a long time, I must enjoy myself today..."
The two sluts looked at each other at this moment and smiled extraordinarily coquettishly. They really deserved to be called a poet.
Xiao Fengxian actually wanted to go back to the post house to have an in-depth discussion with Yelu Hongguang about the Xia Guojian presented to him by Gao Zhang.
However, considering that she could not live up to Gao Zhang's brother Zhou Dalang's kindness to accompany her to eat, drink and have fun, it affected her interest in making friends.
