Seeing that Li Gang was in a sad mood, Li Yanqing knew that his knot was difficult to resolve, so he smiled slightly and stopped talking.

At this time, Li Gang stood up and went to Xiao Jie in the distance, and Mo Jun whispered: "Mr. Li seems to want to convince the prefect to deal with Tong Guan!"

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Tong Guan cut a piece of meat from Gao Qiu last time, but he used Baoyanzhai and the Cao family. To be honest, I was very annoyed, but I decided to let this happen. Do you know why?"

Mo Jun pondered for a moment and said, "The prefect is afraid of Tong Guan!"

"You can say that!"

Li Yanqing sighed slightly, "How can you be tough in the officialdom? If you should admit defeat, you will admit defeat. The key is that Tong Guan's goal is not me, and at most it will make me feel uncomfortable. If you fight him with this little bit of urgency without considering the consequences, it would be considered polite to say that he is irrational, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is stupid."

"Then let it go? This is not your personality!" Mo Jun smiled.

Li Yanqing sneered, "Forget it if anyone says this, I just say I'm just saying that I'm going to admit defeat now, there's no need to break the big plan for a momentary intent."

Li Yanqing's big plan refers to the fact that he stayed in the capital. If he fought with Tong Guan for the matter between the ship and the Cao family, even if he solved his anger for a moment, he would probably be transferred out of the capital. At this critical moment, it is best to be tolerant and low-key.

Mo Jun nodded, "You did the right thing, you must be a good deal in everything, you must know how to advance and retreat, and you cannot just do it recklessly. That would be a reckless man. Although it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, the resentment between you and Tong Guan does not seem to be a deep hatred."

"Hmph!" Li Yanqing snorted coldly, "Maybe I am not, what about that kind of death!"

Mo Jun suddenly shuddered. It turned out that Li Yanqing had never forgotten that incident!

Li Yanqing and his party arrived in the capital at dusk. As soon as they arrived at Fengqiu Gate, a cavalry team rushed out of the city gate, and the speed came very fast. Li Yanqing quickly stopped the war horses, and the group of cavalry on the opposite side were also startled and stopped the war horses.

A man came out and saw him wearing armor, about his early thirties, tall and thin, with thin cheeks, and a pair of triangular eyes that were very sharp, but he was also cold like a snake.

Li Yanqing immediately recognized this person. It was Tong Guan's nephew Tong Yansi, who killed Zhong Lin. Li Yanqing later found out the truth about Zhong Lin's death through Zhang Yun, the exiled former Kaifeng Prefecture Young Master Yin. Zhang Yun almost died in Lingnan for the Tong family, but the Tong family had no care. Just like he was a dead dog, Zhang Yun hated him to the core, so he revealed the truth of the incident to the subordinates sent by Li Yanqing.

Although there is no evidence to overthrow Tong Guan, at least Li Yanqing confirmed his speculation. It was Tong Yansi who was in the city gate that led to Zhong Lin being arrested and ended up tragically dead in Kaifeng Prefecture, bringing Zhong Shuai a great grief of losing his son in his old age. This hatred Li Yanqing has always remembered it in his heart.

But at this moment, he had no hatred on his face, but bowed and smiled: "It turns out to be General Tong, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Tong Yansi also returned the gift and smiled faintly: "Go to the Tong Family Manor in Renqiu County to have a look!"

"So that's it, General Tong, please!"

Li Yanqing ordered his subordinates to make his debut, and Tong Yansi bowed to Li Yanqing and led his subordinates to urge the horse to run away.

But beyond Li Yanqing's expectations, Tong Guan's subordinates were not only more than twenty people, but at least dozens of double donkey carts followed behind them, and they were all empty cars. Li Yanqing's heart moved. Tong Yansi wouldn't have gone to the manor to bring wealth!

Looking at the convoy going away, Li Yanqing suddenly recruited two personal soldiers and whispered to them. The two subordinates nodded and chased after them.

At this time, Li Gang whispered: "Does the Prime Minister of Li suspect that the Tong family also wants to transport treasures by water?"

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "How many things can more than thirty donkey carts transport? There is no need for Tong Yansi to go out in person. I suspect that these donkey carts are just short-distance transportation, such as transporting things from the manor to the river."

"But now the river is frozen, how can he get through the water?"

"It doesn't have to go. It's convenient to chisel the ice and sink the ship to the bottom of the river. It's also convenient to salvage it in the future."

After pausing, Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Of course, I'm just guessing, and Tong Guan's affairs have nothing to do with me. Let's go to the city!"

Li Gang obviously felt that Li Yanqing was a little insincere. He looked at Li Yanqing in confusion, and without asking more questions, everyone immediately urged his horse to enter the capital.

Just as dawn, two personal soldiers who were sent to follow Tong Yansi back to Cao's Mansion. They were soon taken to the small courtyard where Li Yanqing lived. The soldiers reported at the gate of the courtyard: "Report to the prefect, the Ma brothers are back!"

"Please come in!" Li Yanqing's vague voice came from the yard.

Two personal soldiers quickly walked into the yard, but saw Li Yanqing brushing his teeth with green salt by the well. They quickly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, "Report to the prefect, we have found out the situation!"

Li Yanqing rinsed his mouth and said calmly: "Come to the study with me!"

He wiped the corners of his mouth and turned around to walk towards the temporary study next to him. The Ma brothers hurriedly followed in. Li Yanqing sat down and asked, "Tell me! What's the situation?"

"Reporting to the prefect, the Tong family was indeed transporting important items last night, with hundreds of large boxes."

"Tell me more about it, where will I transfer it and where will I ship it?"

An elderly personal soldier said: "Tong's Manor is located on the north bank of Wuzhang River. Ten miles east of the manor, there is a small tributary of Wuzhang River, covered by reeds. We found that more than a dozen cargo ships were moored in the small river, and more than twenty donkey carts transported large boxes from the manor, carried them onto the ship and locked them in the cabin, and then sank the ships all to the bottom of the river. Tong Yansi stayed there all night."

Sure enough, he guessed it. Li Yanqing sneered in his heart. Tong Guan actually hid more than 30 broken ships. Of course, Li Yanqing would not think about catching these little braids. When Tong Guan grabbed Baoyanzhai and the Cao family's small braids, wasn't Baoyanzhai's fleet and the Cao family's wealth a thing? After all, it was just an excuse to seize power, and Zhao Ji might not take his imperial decree to heart.

Thinking of this, Li Yanqing asked again: "In just one night, the frozen river was chiseled open?"

"Report to the prefect, the river is very frozen and thin, so they smashed it open in a few strokes."

"How could it be?"

Li Yanqing was stunned. He saw with his own eyes that the Yellow River had frozen with his own eyes yesterday, and it was only a hundred miles apart. How could it be that there were two environments? Is there a hot spring in the river?

"How is the freezing situation in Wuzhang River?" Li Yanqing asked again.

"The Wuzhang River has frozen, and that small river is strange. We suspect it is because of the silt at the bottom of the river, so it is relatively insulated." The soldier at the head explained.

It is estimated that this small river is indeed a bit abnormal, so the Tong family hid the ship there. However, it doesn’t matter whether the river water is frozen. Li Yanqing is more concerned about the dozens of shipwrecks, and Tong Yansi needs to supervise it personally. It can be seen that the things in the box are very important, and they are likely to be yellow and white goods or jewelry and jade. Of course, it cannot be written or painted. That thing cannot enter the water.

“Is the box heavy?”

"It's very heavy, about four feet square, and six people can only carry it onto the boat together."

Li Yanqing's heart quickly started to move. This was an opportunity. Since Tong Guan was so generous, he felt a little sorry for Tong Guan's kindness. Li Yanqing walked around with his hands behind his back and finally made a decision to let Yan Qing and the others do this.

Li Yanqing immediately wrote a letter of eagle and arranged for the letter of eagle to send it to Daming Mansion.

Li Yanqing originally wanted Yan Qing and his men to hide in Zhending Prefecture and Yanshan Prefecture. Once the Jin soldiers had any trouble, they would immediately send an eagle letter to the capital, but now they are no longer needed. Two months ago, the Song army built a beacon tower, from the Song-Jin border of Hedong and Hebei to the capital. This thing is much faster than the Eagle letter.

It was noon for Tong Yansi to return to the capital. He did not sleep all night. Although he was extremely tired, he still forced himself to meet his uncle Tong Guan.

"Have everything been put?" Tong Guan took a sip of tea and revealed his orange-like face from behind the wide table.

"All arrangements have been made, and they are all transported by confidants and guards, boarding the ship, sinking the ship, and the coachman is locked in the manor, and he doesn't know anything."

Tong Guan nodded with satisfaction and said, "You must be wondering why you didn't send this batch of wealth to the south!"

"The child doesn't dare, and he will do whatever his father tells him."

Tong Guan forced a smile, and finally sighed: "Once the Jin soldiers come, I'm afraid the capital will not be able to be saved. The world is in chaos, and the cunning rabbit still has three caves. Our wealth cannot be only placed in the south!"

"Father, can't the capital really be kept?" Tong Yansi asked worriedly.

Tong Guan shook his head, "My heart is like a mirror. Even the Iron Harrier Cavalry of Xixia was defeated by the Jin soldiers and cavalry. Besides, we, the Song army is already corrupt and collapsed in one battle. How can such an army be able to resist the tiger and wolf Jin soldiers? The Jin soldiers must go south and the capital will definitely not be able to defend it, so we can only go south."

"When will the Jin soldiers come?"

"It's almost done! The Yellow River has frozen, and the days when the Jin soldiers come will probably not be far away."

As soon as Tong Guan finished speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out outside. Only a servant shouted in horror at the door: "Master, beacon! The beacon in the north is lit!"

"ah!"
Chapter completed!
