The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 168 Good sister, I’m sorry
Yang Zaixing went to the Silver and Coin Department of Daxiangguo Temple and finally saved the two boxes of gold ingots received from King Yun.

The clerk of the Banking Department explained to him again and again: Although the Banking Department belongs to the imperial court, the identity of the depositor is strictly confidential. Let alone the general government, even if the official comes in person, the identity of the depositor will not be revealed.

Yang Zaixing thought it was nonsense!

In order to make him save money with confidence, the clerk of the Bank and Money Department even took a rubbing of the Bank and Money Department's regulations written by the official: "Read it for yourself! This regulation was made by the official himself. The first article is that the depositor Your identity will be kept strictly confidential!”

"I can't investigate it either?"

"Yes, it means that even the officials themselves cannot check it." The clerk from the Banking and Money Department translated in vernacular.

Only then did Yang Zaixing doubt the letter, and handed over two boxes of gold ingots in exchange for a silver certificate, signed and stamped it with handwriting, and even wrote his own password, sealed it with oil wax, and then handed it over to the clerk.

The clerk put it away and explained: "When you want to take it away, you must know the password. Only you know the password. We recognize the password but not the person, so you must not tell others. If others know the password, how can they know it?" If it imitates your handwriting, the Money Department will not be responsible if it is taken away."

When Yang Zaixing heard this, he felt that it was quite safe.

Just as he was about to leave, the clerk asked again: "Do you have an official status?"

Yang Zaixing was stunned for a moment and could only tell the truth: "Served in the military."

The clerk smiled and said politely: "Then you can exchange these for national bonds, with three-year and five-year terms. The dividends are good."

After some patient explanation from the clerk, Yang Zaixing felt that it was very good to use money to make money.

So he handed over the silver certificate and exchanged it for a national debt document, and then left Xiangguo Temple.

As soon as they went out, they saw several carriages parked on the side of the road. When one of the drivers saw Yang Zaixing coming out, he jumped out of the car and came over: "Do you have a private carriage?"

This kind of ride-hailing service, which is similar to taxis in later generations, is not uncommon in Kaifeng City.

Yang Zaixing waved his hand: "No need."

After saying that, he turned to leave, but heard the coachman whisper: "Prime Minister Li wants to see the general."

Yang Zaixing was stunned, turned around and asked, "Didn't Mr. Li go to Zhending Mansion for business?"

The coachman stopped talking, turned around and walked back to the carriage, greeting Yang Zaixing: "My dear husband, please hurry up!"

……

……

Li Bangyan Mansion.

After Yang Zaixing finished talking about what happened that night in Fanlou, Li Bangyan sneered and said, "You need to pay more? Oh, you really dare to ask for it, what? Are you planning to go to Zhending Mansion and have another fight?"

Yang Zaixing smiled and shook his head: "The last general is the General of the Song Dynasty, not the Green Forest Killer."

"Oh, that's good if you know! Then tell me why you took this matter?"

Yang Zaixing explained: "The general didn't want to accept it, but King Yun took out the portrait. When the general saw it, wasn't this the person who protected King Yun that night? Why did King Yun suddenly want to kill him again? The general felt, The king must have something that fell into this person’s hands.”

"Well..." Li Bangyan calmly took a mouthful of iced mung bean porridge: "Go on."

"So the general actually wants to find this person and ask him clearly. Maybe he can find out something..."

"What do you want to know?"

"General... I still don't understand. Since I wanted to kill King Yun in the first place, why do I want to protect King Yun now? Then why did King Yun want to kill the princess of Liao and the righteous people who protected him? What happened in the court is really... It’s puzzling.”

Li Bangyan sighed: "As a military general, you don't need to know too much about the affairs of the court. You only need to know who you are loyal to!"

"Then you are loyal to the government!" Li Bangyan nodded: "So, the truth is that I came to you this time to tell you that since you have received money from others, you have to do things for them."

Yang Zaixing was stunned: "Li Xiang, do you really want to kill that kid?"

Li Bangyan chuckled: "Can you kill me?"

Yang Zaixing muttered for a long time, then patted his chest and said, "I just missed last time..."

"Okay, that guy is in Kaifeng now!"

……

……

into the night.

The night market in Kaifeng City is extremely lively, especially Goulanwashe, an entertainment place for ordinary people, which is even more crowded at night.

The storyteller here adapted the love story of the wealthy prince and the subjugated princess into a storybook based on the "Da Song Daily". It was very popular among men and women in the market and could be performed three times a night.

At the end of the first scene, just after arriving in Xu, Gao Chong came out of the hook fence, carrying a baggage, and entered a deep alley, found a high-gate courtyard, jumped in, and climbed in. Following the corner of the wall, I felt from the backyard to the front yard.

Under the pomegranate tree in the front yard, Yelu Yuliyan was lying on a chaise longue, covered with gauze, looking at the lights outside the yard, listening to the sounds of hawking and frolicking not far away, and quietly said to the maid next to him: "Your Majesty. You haven’t been here for several days, right?”

The maid nodded.

Yelu Yuliyan sighed: "I have been in Kaifeng for more than half a month, and I have never left this courtyard. What is the night scene of Kaifeng like?"

The maid smiled and knelt down next to the imperial concubine's couch, and vividly told Yelu Yuliyan about the nightlife in Kaifeng and the eight scenic spots in Kaifeng: "In a few days, if the prince agrees, I will take the princess out for a walk. , you can visit as long as you want.”

Yelu Yuliyan looked at the maid with a smile and said, "You haven't been out of this courtyard for a long time, right?"

The maid looked stunned and muttered: "At first, I just said that I would take care of the princess. Who would have thought..."

Yelu Yuliyan looked at the aggrieved maidservant and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to comfort him. He could only raise his eyes to look at the full moon in the blue sky and said quietly: "I am a stranger in a foreign land, and my homeland cannot be tolerated." Look back at the bright moon."

At Prince Yun's Mansion, I heard from Yang Zaixing that the dead soldiers from the Liao Kingdom had come to Kaifeng, and they were also looking around for the whereabouts of Yelu Yuliyan.

King Yun was surprised: "Are you sure?"

Yang Zaixing nodded: "I planned to leave the city today and go to Zhending Mansion to handle this matter for the prince. What a coincidence, I met this person when I left the city. After following me for a day, this person also went to Goulanli to listen to music. , and then we went to Nan Lecture Hall Lane in the inner city. The alley was too dark, so I lost track of him."

"South Lecture Hall Lane?" King Yun suddenly stood up.

While drinking tea, Yang Zaixing observed King Yun's expression. He saw that his eyes were sinister and his face was trembling, as if he was making a difficult decision.

"Your Majesty, since this dead soldier from the Liao Kingdom has come to Kaifeng, the general no longer has to go to Zhending Mansion. The two boxes of gold ingots should be returned to the prince for one box..."

"No need!" King Yun waved his hand: "As long as General Yang can kill this person and make contributions to this king... and to the Song Dynasty!"

Yang Zaixing also stood up and said: "Looking at that man's strength, if the prince wants to hit it with one blow, he should inform the imperial army..."

Before Yang Zaixing could finish speaking, King Yun turned his head and said, "This matter is related to my reputation. The fewer people who know about it, the better. If I can inform the Imperial Army, what use is there for me to find you?"

Yang Zaixing pretended to shut up and stood aside.

King Yun's ears were buzzing, and Emperor Daojun's words rang out again: "The fallen princess of Liao Dynasty, Yelu Yuliyan, learned that you were the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, so she took you back to the Song Dynasty and threatened the Song Dynasty to send troops to restore her country! However, We, the Song Dynasty, abide by our covenant with the Kingdom of Jin. In order to prevent the people of the two countries from suffering military disasters, we are unwilling to help each other, so we send gold to show our sincerity!"

King Yun thought in his mind: "The less people know about this, the better. As long as I kill these two people tonight, I will bring them to the palace tomorrow and repeat what my father taught me in front of all the civil and military officials. Then I will die without any evidence." Not only can I give an explanation to the Kingdom of Jin, but I can also keep my position as the crown prince, my good sister, I’m sorry!”
