The change in things was not as long as Li Yanqing thought. The next morning, Yan Jiuling came to the military camp to find Li Yanqing. He brought important information. Yang Huai, the chief officer, had just gone to Qingyuan County.

Li Yanqing secretly complained that they were not good. They monitored Zhao Yuan closely, but ignored Zhao Yuan's minion Yang Huai. It is very likely that the person who contacted Xixia was not Zhao Yuan but Yang Huai.

"What did he do in Qingyuan County?"

"After he came to the government office to meet Zhao Yuan, he said that his uncle was sick and took a day off to visit Qingyuan County, but we have never heard of him having an uncle in Qingyuan County."

"How long has he been going?"

"I just left not long ago, he rode a donkey. I guess he has walked for at least ten miles now, and it will take at least noon to reach Qingyuan County."

Li Yanqing made a quick decision. Since Shuai was unwilling to wait any longer, today is the time to close the net.

"You continue to go back to the government office to do things and don't let Zhao Yuan see any abnormalities."

After sending Yan Jiuling back to the city, Li Yanqing immediately borrowed 30 cavalry from Yang Zaixing and rushed to Qingyuan County as fast as possible.

Qingyuan County is located fifty miles south of Yangqu County. A wide official road connects the two places, but in addition to the official road, there is also a riverside road along the Fen River. Li Yanqing personally led 30 cavalrymen to run along the path. In less than an hour, they arrived in Qingyuan County. It was still early at noon, and Yang Huai probably hadn't arrived in Qingyuan County.

Li Yanqing simply went to the city and stood on the city tower waiting. After about half an hour, Li Yanqing finally saw the tall and thin Yang Huai coming staggeringly on a donkey.

Li Yanqing whispered a few words from his two men, and then walked to the female wall on the other side of the city. Soon, Yang Huai rode a donkey into the city from the cave, but he didn't know that at this time, his boss Li Yanqing was looking at his back coldly.

A ox cart followed Yang Huai. About a quarter of an hour later, the soldiers in charge of monitoring Yang Huai ran back and reported in a low voice: "He entered a fur shop called Yinchuantang, about two miles away."

The name was opened by people from Xixia, and Li Yanqing was almost certain that Yang Huai came to this store to meet with the Xixia spies.

Li Yanqing immediately made a decision: "Clog the front and back doors and arrest them, and no one can be let go."

Yinchuantang Frozen Store is located in the downtown area of ​​Qingyuan County, less than 100 steps away from the county government office, covering an area of ​​about two acres. It was run by a Xixia merchant.

For most of the time, the Song and Xia countries lived in peace, and merchants from the two countries kept communicating. The Western Xia medicinal materials, fur, livestock and wool fabrics were exported to the Song Dynasty in large quantities. The Song Dynasty's silk, porcelain, rouge, paper and other materials were highly popular among the people of the Western Xia. In the cities around the border of the Song and Xia, shops opened by the Western Xia people could be seen everywhere.

These Xixia shops will only be temporarily closed during the war, but once the war is over, the shops will reopen. As for the Xixia spies pretending to be merchants and taking the opportunity to infiltrate the Song Dynasty, it is actually very normal.

At this time, dozens of fully armed soldiers suddenly appeared at the door of Yinchuan Hall. Before several friends could respond, the soldiers rushed in, pressed the three friends in the lobby down, and quickly tied them up.

Li Yanqing led a dozen soldiers into the inner hall. The sudden incident caused chaos at the door of the shop. Everyone dodged to both sides, but soon gathered together again, surrounding the gate, and protruded their heads into the inside.

The Song soldiers soon encountered resistance. Three big men blocked the gate of a house and were fighting fiercely with the soldiers rushing in from the back door.

Although these three great men were very skilled in martial arts and very strong, these soldiers were the personal soldiers of Zhong Shidao, and they were brave and good at fighting. The two sides were evenly matched. The Song army quickly gained the upper hand and gradually suppressed the three great men.

Li Yanqing had no time to delay. With a wave of his hand, three stones were hitting out in an extremely fast way, hitting the foreheads of the three men, and they were bleeding from their heads and unable to continue fighting. The soldiers rushed forward and tied up the three men down.

Li Yanqing kicked open the door and saw that the room was in a mess. Two men were burning documents in panic, one of which was Yang Huai.

Without Li Yanqing's order, the soldiers rushed up, pressed Yang Huai and another man down, put out the fire that had just burned, and dug out a large number of documents from it.

"Master Yang, I didn't expect that we would meet here!" Li Yanqing sneered coldly.

Yang Huai's face suddenly turned pale, and his legs became weak and sat on the ground. He knew that he was finished. He let the soldiers tie him back his arms, but his whole body began to tremble and could not say a word.

Li Yanqing walked up to another person and saw that he was about thirty years old and should be the shopkeeper in the store. He looked like a typical Xixia man with a cunning look. Li Yanqing flipped over a thick stack of documents on the table, which turned out to be the Linzhou inspection report he wrote last month. Li Yanqing was so angry that his teeth itched, and he slapped it hard with a few slaps in the face, which made Yang Huai bleeding from his mouth and nose.

"Sell your country, you are dead this time, take it all away!"

The soldiers covered everyone's heads with black pockets and took them out of the shop. At this time, the county magistrate came with more than a dozen yamen runners after hearing the news. Li Yanqing showed his military card in front of him, "Catch the spies of Xixia under the order of the general of the Zong!

The county magistrate was so scared that he trembled all over and asked the yamen runners to make way. Li Yanqing immediately said to him: "This family is sealed immediately, dig three feet of the ground for me, seal the items found and send them to the Taiyuan Military Camp."

"Abide by the order!"

The soldiers locked seven or eight spies into several donkey chariots, while Yang Huai was held alone in a ox cart. The soldiers escorted the cart back to the Taiyuan military camp.

......

The military officials, Zhao Yuan, was strolling back and forth anxiously. Yang Huai, who was under his command, had been going to Qingyuan County for most of the day, but there was no news. The inexplicable uneasiness made Zhao Yuan very worried. In fact, Yangqu County also had a fine base for Xixia, but for safety reasons, he still chose the fine base for Xixia in Qingyuan County.

Zhao Yuan walked to the window with his hands behind his back and looked at an apricot tree outside the window. He couldn't help but remember the scene that was unbearable to look back three years ago.

Three years ago, he was also a Shizhou Sishi and met a generous Xixia master. This Xixia master often brought him to Taiyuan to spend time and live a luxurious life. Soon he became a bad habit of gambling. Xixia master continued to provide him with money, causing him to fall deeper and deeper, and eventually he was in debt.

At this time, the great Xixia Jia revealed his true face and forced him to become a spy in Xixia. Under the temptation of money and beauty and the heavy pressure of huge debts, he had to surrender and eventually became a detailed worker who was placed in the border officialdom of Xixia, providing a lot of information about Shizhou. However, the Xixia people's real purpose of his interest was not for the information about Shizhou, but his relationship with Zhong Shidao.

Zhao Yuan sighed softly. Although Li Yanqing's arrival disrupted his plan to control the soldiers, Kai and Qisi, more importantly, Li Yanqing brought him a huge threat, and even the powerful people in the capital found him. They actually knew their relationship with Xixia, which really made Zhao Yuan deeply scared.

At this time, a sound of footsteps interrupted Zhao Yuan's thoughts. When he turned around, he saw a soldier standing at his door, "What's the matter?" Zhao Yuan asked with some displeasure.

"Zhao Shenjun, Grand Marshal, please come over."

Zhao Yuan felt nervous and asked quickly: "Did the Grand Marshal say anything?"

"It seems like a report that the coach has questions."

Zhao Yuan suddenly remembered a report from Si Jun that he handed him to the Grand Marshal two days ago. Perhaps the report was because of the Grand Marshal's questions. He nodded, "I'll go right away."

Zhao Yuan cleaned up a little and followed the soldiers quickly towards the commander's official room.

But when he walked into the official room, Zhao Yuan immediately felt something was wrong. Both sides were full of soldiers. Mr. Zhong was wearing armor and helmet, sitting on the handsome chair, looking at him with anger.

Zhao Yuan started to tremble and stepped forward and bowed, "See the Grand Marshal!"

Zhong Shidao threw a thick stack of documents on the table in front of him, "This is the Basi report found in a shop in Qingyuan County. Please explain to me how these top-secret documents were in the shops of the Xixia people?"

Zhao Yuan's mind buzzed!, and a cold sweat broke out in his back. Finally, the incident happened. He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know this humble position."

"Hmph! It seems that you won't cry after seeing the coffin."

Master Zhong waved his hand and said, "Bring it up!"

Several soldiers escorted Yang Huai up, followed by Li Yanqing, holding several letters in his hand. As soon as Yang Huai entered the door, he pointed at Zhao Yuan and shouted: "It was him who pulled me into the water. He is a spy from Xixia!"

Zhao Yuan was so frightened that he couldn't speak. Li Yanqing walked up to him and showed several letters in front of him, "You should know these letters!"

This is a letter written by Zhao Yuan a few months ago. He never dreamed that the letter was not sent away. This was his handwritten letter, and the evidence was as strong as a mountain. Zhao Yuan could no longer deny it. He knelt down and kowtowed, and felt regretful in his heart, and said in tears: "I am guilty, I have let down the Marshal's expectations and trust!"

Zhong Shidao suddenly felt extremely tired. He hoped that he would have a glimmer of hope. Zhao Yuan might not have done it in detail. Now the truth is revealed, which means that Zhao Yuan really provided a lot of information to Xixia. He used the wrong person and could not shirk this huge responsibility.

After a while, Zhong Shidao asked coldly, "Tell me honestly, who is the mastermind who wants to frame Li Ganjun?"

Zhao Yuan lowered his head and whispered: "It's Gao Qiu, Taiwei Gao!"
