As the snow was flying, Wang Song came to Di Mansion.

He had important information to report, so important that he had to return to Beijing in person. Two Privy Councilors, one was Di Qing and the other was Wang Deyong, both of whom were military generals. Wang Deyong was also considered a military general of the Northwest faction, but he had not been to the northwest for a long time, and Di Qing and Wang Song had a few encounters. So Wang Song came to Di's mansion.

The entire capital city turned into a jade building in heavy snow.

Di Qing politely received Wang Song.

After sitting down, Wang Song complained: "Didn't you agree to keep it secret? Why do you promote it? More than 30 secret spies have been lost in the northwest in the past few months."

Under the extensive search of Xixia, many scouts were discovered and some were forced to move back. This brought serious resistance to Wang Song's work. Now the Xixia people knew that the Song Dynasty established a spy camp and sent scouts to the south and Xixia to inquire about the news. Fortunately, they did not send scouts to the Khitans, otherwise they would be angry with this powerful enemy if they were promoted.

Di Qing spread his hands and said, "Wang Song, what can I do?"

"You are the Privy Councilor."

"I, the Privy Councilor Zheng, are right..." Di Qing said unhappily. He was still very arrogant. Wang Deyong was by his side. Di Qing also saw Wang Deyong being a good grandson, but Di Qing didn't like it.

"What did you say?"

"Don't worry about this. On this snowy day, what's the matter to report when you go back to the capital?"

"The news came back from the front that it was said that the brother and sister were in conflict."

"Take it seriously?" Di Qing stood up in surprise. This is great news. Although the external troubles are serious, the internal troubles are even more severe. These two people are in charge of the entire Xixia. If there is no harmony, there will be civil strife in Xixia.

"It's true, so I went back to Beijing and wanted to ask Mr. Di what should we do?"

Di Che pondered.

The news came too timely. I thought for a long time and said, "He is not an orthodox, but a relative of the foreigners. He has given him power and his reputation is not right. If he supports the Mozang family, she is the queen mother, her son is the emperor, and he occupies the name of orthodox. Once his brother is eliminated, the Xixia will be solid."

"Here." Wang Song replied. This is a general policy, and the general policy is clear, so the following is enough.

"But Mr. Di, this matter cannot be reported to the court again and let us solve it ourselves, otherwise it will be leaked."

"Don't worry, I'll work hard all the way, so stay for dinner."

"Thank you, Grandpa Di," Wang Song replied without hesitation.

Mrs. Di was preparing dinner, and Wang Song asked hesitantly: "Is there any news about Mr. Zheng?"

Wang Song was very worried that Zheng Lang was stroking the secret camp with one hand. Although the secret camp was shown, if something happened to Zheng Lang, if other civil officials were allowed to handle it, God knows what would it eventually become.

Di Qing frowned.

Zhao Zhen issued an edict, and the barbarians were frightened.

The other side of Jinghu South Road was also in chaos. After searching for several days, Zheng Lang could not be found. The generals on the front line were furious. Some Meishanman saw that the Song army was moving to Ximan and took the opportunity to attack the civilians who were building the road. Zhang Chen was angry and led the army to suddenly go east and annihilate all three units. It was a complete annihilation, and no nationality stayed. He also heard that the court agreed to allocate the money and silk from Guangdong and Guangxi to Jinghu South Road. The funds were sufficient, so he recruited more than 7,000 civilians and forcibly opened the horizontal road from Seven Stars in Tanzhou to Chenzhou.

This is also part of Zheng Lang's plan.

But this year's plan is to build the Seven Star Road to the foothills of Meishan Mountain, not to open it up.

Zhang Kang also sent people to inform the tribes along the way that Shunchang was defeated and he dared to make plans without making any mistakes. The fate of the three tribes was theirs.

In other words, the generals of the entire Jinghu South Road lost their sense of responsibility.

In fact, both the Ximan or the Tianman on the west side were also trembling.

Now the monarch and ministers in the court have judged that it was the chiefs of the tribe who conspired to murder Zheng Lang, and the small chiefs did not have this vision and wisdom. However, the abnormal vote of the court made the majority of chiefs realize another problem.

The past rebellion has returned to the past, and it has been like this since ancient times. It is not the Song Dynasty, and it has not violated the bottom line of the Song Dynasty. However, the most important prime minister who harmed the court has violated the root of the Song Dynasty. Two hundred thousand imperial guards came, and the tenth sect was not false.

In fact, Di Qing saw it very clearly.

There are really 200,000 imperial guards going south, not to mention the Tian family, Ximan, and Meishanman are all in danger. But is it so easy?

For example, there are now 30,000 imperial guards on Jinghu South Road. Because it is stationed in the south, the cost is even higher. Only supporting these 30,000 imperial guards will require 2 million yuan in a year. The consumption caused by fragmented battles may cost 5 million yuan a year. However, except for food and grass, the rest are all allocated by the imperial court, and Jinghu South Road does not bear economic pressure.

Once the 200,000 imperial guards head south, Jinghu South Road cannot bear so much food supply, and must be allocated from other places, which will be higher. The consumption of weapons and materials in the battle, the pension of the sacrificed soldiers, and the rewards of the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions will be astronomical.

Just like the three small tribes that Zhang Kangxing mobilized to destroy, there were actually three villages, with only more than 200 households, which were only more than 200 households. The cost of marching, weapons consumption, rewards and pensions, food and supplies consumption, etc., would cause at least nearly 200,000 yuan of economic losses. Moreover, if the large Ximan was to be buried with the Tianman, whose terrain was more complex than that of the Meishanman, how much would the court spend in the end?

But it cannot be said that it does not work.

After the edict was issued, the barbarians were frightened and assisted the court in searching.

After mobilizing so many soldiers, so many elite scouts, and so many barbarians to help, there was no news at all.

It was definitely not that I wanted to kill Zheng Lang. If so, I would have killed Zheng Lang by the bamboo forest, rather than leaving only four guard bodies. A living Zheng Lang is far more valuable than a dead Zheng Lang.

But with so many people participating, no clues were found. Where did Zheng Lang go?

The longer the time goes on, the more worried Di Qing is.

He sighed, "Mr. Zheng is too careless."

This is a nice saying, but a bad saying is that Zheng Lang does not know the importance of the importance and uses courage to advance lightly. However, in the cave, Zheng Lang also knew that because he was careless and reckless, the people of Xixia and Zhang Pingmeng had unintentional thoughts.

I know I am wrong, but I am trapped in a cave, so who should I tell you?

No need to ask again, Wang Song also knew that Zheng Lang was still missing, and sighed slightly: "If Zheng Xianggong had an accident, I would also resign from this position."

"Wang Song, no."

"I was originally a wild monk, but now I have fame, wealth and wealth. It would be better for me to retire early than others to humiliate me."

This sentence touched Di Qing, but after thinking about it, he couldn't let it go. What was the purpose of fighting for the whole life? It was not for glory and wealth. If you lose fame and fortune, what was the point of working so hard? Is it really difficult for Di Qing to do so?

He said: "Wang Song, there are always many helpless things, such as Wang Zhongyi. He is a good official. Because the Xiangyi case has not been solved, the incident of His Royal Highness Princess has been released to Dingzhou."

Wang Su did a good job as the prefect of Kaifeng. The people in the capital praised him at the intersection and said that he had a disagreement between the prince and the prince. However, two major cases occurred one after another, resulting in tragedy. In fact, Wang Su was still one of Zheng Lang's friends. He did not participate in the Fanlou banquet, but was named by Zheng Lang.

So Zheng Lang's other friend Zeng Gongliang took office as Kaifeng Prefecture.

As the princess had no news for a long time and the Xiangyi case was not solved, it also put a huge pressure on Zeng Gongliang.

Speaking of which, he is still one of the emperor's teachers, otherwise he would be sad.

"Xiangyi case?" Wang Song stayed in the northwest and didn't know much about this.

Di Qing simply said the story.

"There is also a secret spy in the special agent camp who is from Xiangyi. She performed very well. This time, Xixia killed several secret spys in the special agent camp, but only this person escaped."

"Who?" Di Qing didn't know that he was the Privy Councilor. These details should be handled directly below and will not bother the Privy Council to deal with them.

"Zhang Pingmeng, I heard that he performed well in the south." Wang Song replied. At the beginning of the establishment of the secret service camp, he was hosted by him and Wang Yong, but he and Wang Yong were getting older and began to plan to train successors. Some scouts who performed well were paying attention to him, and Zhang Pingmeng was also one of their targets of attention.

"Why is Zhang Pingmeng so familiar..." Di Qing said strangely.

"Mr. Di has also heard of his deeds..." Wang Song said that Zhang Pingmeng's bravery was also the pride of the secret service camp.

"No," Di Qing shook his head, suddenly grabbed Wang Song's hand and said, "Go to Zeng Mansion with me."

The case has nothing to do with the Privy Council. The Xiangyi case is the matter of Kaifeng Prefecture. Either the Secretariat can interfere, and the Privy Council has no right to interfere. Di Qing heard about this case, but the specific one is not clear.

When he arrived at Zeng Mansion, Di Qing said, "Ming Zhong, I want to check the case file of the Xiangyi case."

Zeng Gongliang was very strange.

Di Qing explained: "It is possible to involve the secret service camp."

"Secret Service Camp?"

"Ming Zhong, I will not be able to explain clearly for a while. Please let me take a look and then explain to you."

It was all during dinner, but the matter was important. Moreover, the case had not been solved for a long time, and Zeng Gongliang could not submit a job, so he took Di Qing to Kaifeng Prefecture. Di Qing opened the case file, which listed many suspicious objects, but was excluded one by one. Including Zhang Pingmeng, the offender said that Zhang Pingmeng died of a sudden illness. The Zhang clan members were dissatisfied and fought a lawsuit but failed. Then Zhang Pingmeng went home without saying a word. Then others were in the northwest and turned to the south, but did not return to Xiangyi at all, so they were excluded.

Di Qing said: "Ming Zhong, immediately send someone to see if his brother died of sudden illness, and then send someone to ask his wife. Wang Song, follow me to the Privy Council."

Zeng Gongliang grabbed Di Qing and asked, "Han minister, was this man colluding with outsiders?"

"Not necessarily, I just doubt it. You can send someone to check it out." After Di Qing said that, he quickly took Wang Song to the Privy Council, where was Zhang Pingmeng's detailed life information? Every scout in the secret camp had to prepare a file.

Open the file, Di Qing watched it, and then handed the file to Wang Song and said, "Wang Song, look at the records of Zhang Pingmeng on the file. He relied on his brother for his life. Why did his brother die a bit suspiciously, but he was very calm after he returned? Could it be that he is really a cold-blooded person?"

After reading it, Wang Song shook his head and said, "No, Zhang Pingmeng volunteered to join the imperial guards and paid off his debts for his brother. Then he saved money to marry, proving his feelings for his brother. No wonder, no wonder he could escape back."

If you don’t doubt that Zhang Pingyong can escape back is brave and outstanding. If you suspect it, it will be wrong. After discovering Xingqing Prefecture in Xixia, you will break through many captures and escape back to the security army. Wang Song estimated it in his heart, but he couldn’t do it. Then he said in a lost voice: “Xixia.”

"This is what I worry about. If Xixia supports him and he will be active next to Zheng Xianggong, it will be dangerous."

The loophole Zheng Lang mentioned was finally caught by Di Qing, but it was still very difficult to rescue Zheng Lang. If you don’t do it well, it would not help him, but instead put Zheng Lang in his life.
