The next morning, the shopkeeper Zhou Que went to the Liao Kingdom Pavilion to report the latest information, but was scolded by Xiao Changying, the Liao Kingdom's permanent commander to the Song Dynasty. It is no wonder that Xiao Changying scolded him. The subordinates reported on their work and only reported bad news, but did not propose a solution. Any boss would be furious.

Zhou Que only reported that the Liao army transport ship was ambushed by the Song army navy and was wiped out, but he did not say how the Song army navy mastered the Liao army ship information. He only reported half of the report, and the result was that he had to bear the thunderous wrath of Emperor Yelu Hongji of Liao.

Zhou Que returned to the inn in a frustration, and Liu Suifeng also came back.

"This morning, Wang Qinying had already bought the house. My subordinates witnessed it with their own eyes that Wang Qinying bargained with the landlord at the Yasper. In the end, he did not pay the money back. He bought the small yard of nine-minute land outside the old Cao Gate for 700 guan. He jumped up with joy."

"The small courtyard outside the old Cao Gate is still nine cents of land. Will it be so cheap?" Zhou Que was a little confused. The unit price per mu of the house outside the old Cao Gate should be about 2,000 knots per mu. Why did Wang Qinying buy it so cheaply?

"I went to investigate the house, which was a haunted house. Two people died within three years, one died of illness and the other was killed, so it was sold at a cheap price. Wang Qinying should also know, but he was greedy for cheap."

Zhou Que's suspicion faded a lot. He also liked officials who were greedy for cheapness. Such people were easier to control. He thought about it and asked, "Do you think this Wang Qinying is credible?"

Liu Suifeng nodded, "Wang Yong is a trustworthy person. Since he said that Wang Qinying is trustworthy, I think it should be trustworthy."

Zhou Que was too stressed and could not be dragged down any longer. He made up his mind and said to Liu Suifeng: "I want to know who betrayed the information of the Liao naval army and the shipyard, how could the Song army know that Tokyo is empty? In addition, I also want to get an invalid iron fire thunder. You go and talk to Wang Qinying. As long as he can satisfy my wish, it will be no problem for him to pay."

At noon, Wang Qinying came to the Privy Council. There were often documents between the North Ya and the Privy Council of Overseas Administration. It was normal for Wang Qinying to appear here. He would come to send some documents every now and then.

The Privy Council is a huge building covering an area of ​​dozens of acres. There is a garden in the middle and three-story buildings on both sides. There is also a small courtyard inside, which is the courthouse of senior officials of the Privy Council.

Wang Qinying came to the second floor of the East Building and walked to the end. There was a functional department that occupied four rooms. The sign was hung with the "Hebei Xuanfu Envoy Logistics Liaison Office". Almost all Xuanfu Envoys have special liaison offices in the Privy Council, so this is a very common functional department in the Privy Council.

But this "Hebei Xuanfu Envoy Logistics Liaison Office" has another unknown name, "Beijing Liaison Office of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff Camp of the Liao Army". It is actually a counter-espionage agency of the Liao Army in the capital.

Wang Qinying knocked on the door. After a moment, the door opened a crack. His eyes looked outside and opened the door a little wider. Wang Qinying flashed in.

Wang Qinying's cousin Wang Yong was indeed bribed by a spy from the Liao Kingdom and discovered by the Beijing Intelligence Department. In order to implement the counter-espionage plan, the Intelligence Department found Wang Qinying first, and Wang Qinying was converted into a Trojan horse by the Intelligence Department.

Just wait for the Liao spies to pull him into the city.

Soon, Wang Qinying came out of the room again, with a dull expression, as if nothing had happened, and hurried back to the Sansi Office.

In the evening, Wang Qinying and his cousin Wang Yong came to Baohe Restaurant in a ox cart. Wang Yong was a little nervous and asked in a low voice: "Have the news?"

Wang Qinying said lightly: "I got the news, guaranteed to be accurate, but I have something to say first. If I can't get the money I deserve, I won't take out this information."

"Don't worry! As long as the things are material, they have always taken advantage of themselves."

"I'll wait and see!"

The two of them came to Baohe Restaurant and went directly to the elegant room on the third floor. Liu Suifeng had been waiting for them for a long time.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Liu Suifeng asked with a smile: "I wonder if the Wangdushi brought what I want?"

Wang Qinying nodded, "I brought the stuff, but I want to see your sincerity first."

Liu Suifeng took out a leather bag, took out five ingots of yellow gold from it and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "This is fifty taels of gold, 500 taels of silver, it's very sincere!"

Wang Qinying took out a file bag from her arms, put it on the table and pushed it to Liu Suifeng, and said to him: "This is the original. I happened to be on duty in the study room these days. I must put the original back within three days."

Liu Suifeng immediately opened the bag and took out an official document from it, which contained the words "top secret".

This is a document transferred from the Privy Council to Zhizheng Hall, and then issued by Zhizheng Hall to the North Office of Overseas Jingliufu. Liu Suifeng opened the document, which contained a top-secret report on the Privy Council's naval situation, warship situation, and shipbuilding workshop location to Zhizheng Hall. There is a hand-drawn map on it.

Then Zhizhengtang asked the Overseas Economic and Political Department to confirm the authenticity of these information, and mentioned the source of the information in the letter, the Jurchen Wanyan tribe.

There are also Fu Bi's signature and the seal of Zhizheng Hall under the letter.

Liu Suifeng felt like he had a treasure and hurriedly said, "We will confirm this certificate and I will return it to you tomorrow."

Wang Qinying took five ingots of gold into his bag without hesitation and said to him: "There are no invalid iron fire thunders you want for the time being. As soon as next spring, the imperial court will transport the materials to Kunzhou, and there will be 233 expired and invalid iron fire thunders. I will find a way to get you one."

Liu Suifeng was overjoyed and stood up and saluted, "After things are done, we will thank you very much!"

Wang Yong coughed gently, Liu Suifeng woke up and smiled and said, "Of course there will be benefits of Manager Wang."

After the three of them finished drinking, Liu Suifeng sent the two away, and hurriedly found the shopkeeper Zhou Que with the letter. Under the light, Zhou Que narrowed his eyes and carefully checked the letter. There was a number on the letter. Whether it was special paper, signature, seal or content format, it was completely in line with the characteristics of the official letter of Zhizhengtang. Some details were even correct, such as the word "top secret" in seal script, with a thick border. Zhou Que had contacted it, so he was very clear about these details.

He nodded. The document was true. He never expected that it was the Jurchens who secretly colluded with the Song Dynasty and betrayed the Liao navy and Tokyo.

"Supervisor, how could it be a Jurchen?" Liu Suifeng asked in confusion.

"Not surprising, the Northern Jurchens often go to Liaoyang Prefecture to sell tiger skins and bear paws. They know the situation in Liaoyang Prefecture very well. They often take canoes to the Heishui River mouth to catch fish. It is not surprising that they have been to Kunzhou."

"That's right! If they didn't contact the Song Dynasty, how could the Song Dynasty know the name of Wanyan's Iowabo?"

The report of the Privy Council contains the name of Wanyan Iowabo. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for the Song Dynasty to know the name of the leader of the Wanyan tribe of the Jurchen tribe. You should know that there were dozens of tribes of the Jurchen tribe, which were divided into the Southern Jurchen and the Northern Jurchen. The Wanyan tribe was just a relatively powerful tribe among the Northern Jurchen. How could the Zhizhengtang of the Song Dynasty fool himself for an unknown Jurchen tribe?

Zhou Que sighed softly, because the Liao Kingdom imposed too harsh taxes on the Jurchen tribes over the years, which aroused strong resistance from the Jurchen tribes and even colluded with the Song Dynasty. However, no matter what, if his mission is completed, he can give an explanation to the Liao Kingdom. As for the life and death of the Jurchen Wanyan tribe, it has nothing to do with him.

"What do you say about Iron Fire Thunder's information?" Zhou Que asked again.

"He said there is no now. When spring comes, a batch of invalid iron fire thunders will be transported back to Kunzhou, with a total of 233. He found a way to get one for us, but his offer is very high, and he costs two thousand taels of silver."

"Money is not a problem. If you really get the iron fire thunder, don't talk about two thousand taels of silver. Even if he wants ten thousand taels of silver, I will give it all!"

Zhou Que was under too much pressure for this iron fire thunder. As long as he could get an iron fire thunder, he would spare no matter how much the price was.
