A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

As Shen An mounted his horse, Yan Baoyu approached and said, "Mr. Lang, are you going into the city or something?"

"Enter the city."

The Song merchants stood there blankly, and someone murmured: "He is actually Shen Daizhao? No wonder he is so bold."

"Yes! How dare others kill the Liao people? And he even let us go. Only he has such courage."

"He built Jingguan in the northwest and southwest and killed many people. Some people say he is a devil. What is the purpose of such a person coming to Xiongzhou..."

"Stop talking, he's here again."

"Later, everyone swore that his traces would not be leaked, otherwise..."

"Okay, I swear on my parents, wife and children."

Shen An suddenly rode over and asked seriously: "I want to ask you to do something, is it convenient?"

The businessmen forced a smile and said, "It's convenient."

The head is right there, and the headless corpse lies on the other side... How dare we say it's inconvenient!

Shen An smiled and said: "Then please send a message... Just say that the fate last time is not over yet, and Shen is waiting in Xiongzhou. See you there."

After speaking, he looked at the Song merchants.

Is this person crazy?

These words were clearly passed to the Liao people.

What does he want to do?

What the hell was the fate last time?

"Yes, I will send the message when I get back."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Shen An thanked them with a smile, and then led the Mangshan Army towards Xiongzhou City.

The Song merchants looked at the corpse and sighed for a while, and one of the charitable ones said that they would hire someone to bury it later.

"What is the purpose of Shen waiting for the edict to pass on to us?"

A businessman asked in confusion.

Li Yi suddenly thought of those thieves and said, "Is it because of those thieves?"

"Yes, those thieves are clearly from Liao. Shen An ordered us to send a message just to get rid of them."

"But the Liao people are hard to catch! And the other side might pick them up."

…

As soon as Shen An entered the city gate, Rao Chunlai appeared.

Almost with tears in his eyes, Rao Chunlai burst out with outrageous enthusiasm. After taking away several Liao people, he also asked others to buy fat sheep and kill a cow by the way to reward the Mangshan army.

"You don't know what I'm saying, those Liao people come and go erratically, and their horses are good horses. If you find them occasionally, you won't be able to catch up..."

Rao Chunlai turned around and looked at the horses of the Mangshan Army with envy, "They are all good horses!"

"This was taken back from the Xixia people. Your Imperial City Department can also try it."

Rao Chunlai shook his head and said: "It's okay to kill a few, but hundreds..."

What the Imperial City Division is best at is spying on information, and killing is just a side skill.

When the group entered the city, Zhizhou Qian Yicai hurriedly greeted them.

There was a big sore on the corner of his mouth, which looked red and had a white spot on the top.

This is caused by impatience.

"More than a hundred people...can they be found?"

Qian Yi felt that Shen An might have underestimated those thieves, so he said seriously: "Those are not thieves, but the elite of the Liao army. The so-called thieves are just lies."

"Someone knows."

When the group arrived at the residence, Rao Chunlai said goodbye and prepared to interrogate the Liao people in person.

"You also captured people from Liao?"

Qian Yi touched the big sore, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Liao people will be angry..."

"I killed one before."

Shen An felt that Qian Yi was just an ant on the hot pot, and was obviously frightened by the Liao people.

He stood up and walked to the basin stand, took the towel and started washing his face.

Qian Yi said a little anxiously: "Those businessmen don't dare to go to the market... The Liao people urged them, saying that if they don't go, they will give more coins this year... You know, the Liao people rely on the market. To get good things like tea, the lacquerware and other items that the rich and powerful want also have to rely on the market... If they don't get the goods, they will threaten you, which is a headache!"

"The thief shouts to catch the thief."

Shen An said: "Those thieves are the Liao army, so those threats are just false. The purpose of the thieves' cry to catch thieves is to put pressure on the Song Dynasty and embarrass the Song Dynasty."

"I know." Qian Yi smiled bitterly and said, "But it's difficult to be an official in Xiongzhou! I know it's fake, but I'm still suffering."

"Now that someone is here, you don't need to suffer."

After Shen An washed up, he asked about the recent situation.

"...because businessmen have been intercepted recently, and someone is smuggling in the market..."

Shen An slowly turned around and said calmly: "Are you caught?"

Qian Yi shook his head, "Xiongzhou has been in chaos recently, and I'm afraid that taking action will cause commotion."

"It's time to catch him!"

Shen An threw the towel into the basin and asked, "Who is the main one?"

Qian Yi glanced at him and said, "Sergeant."

Nonsense!

Shen An sneered in his heart, "The sergeant is under supervision, but they are smuggling and the superior officer turns a blind eye?"

Qian Yi blushed and said, "I'm slacking off."

"Slouch..." Shen An came back and sat down, "I'm afraid it's the mastermind behind it. The Imperial City Department will naturally give the news later. Let them surrender first. If they don't want to, we can try to persuade them. God will It’s a good idea to give them a chance.”

Advise?

This is good!

Qian Yi has been in a lot of trouble recently, so he is a little laissez-faire about the smuggling in the market.

It would be best if you don't take action.

"Where are the thieves?"

Seeing that Shen An had a good attitude, Qian Yi felt that the so-called devil king theory was too nonsense, "I heard that Waite Zhao is quite accomplished in diplomacy. How about I go find someone from Liao to talk to me?"

This man was probably a pacifist and really thought Shen An was here to negotiate.

Shen An said noncommittally: "If we can talk, then let's talk."

As soon as Qian Yi left, Rao Chunlai came.

His body smelled of blood, and there were a few bloodshot streaks in his eyes.

"Those Liao merchants are secret spies. They specialize in inquiring about information nearby and investigating the situation of troops entering and exiting Xiongzhou."

This confession was almost what Shen An had expected. He asked, "Do they know the whereabouts of the Liao army?"

Rao Chunlai shook his head and said: "The whereabouts of that group of Liao troops are uncertain. Even their own people cannot be traced."

Those Liao people should be constantly cruising. Unless a large army is sent out to encircle and suppress them, it will be difficult to catch their traces.

"knew."

Then a man from Liao came, but he was an official in the market.

"Those thieves must be killed as soon as possible, otherwise how can this business be done? If the Song people can't do it, Daliao can send an army to Xiongzhou to help, ensuring that they can be cleaned up..."

If the Liao army comes, the Chanyuan Alliance will be abolished.

So this is a joke, a joke making fun of Da Song.

Qian Yi was very angry after hearing this, and the Liao people's attitude meant that they did not want to resolve the matter peacefully.

…

"Kill our people to death if you can, but hold back if you don't!"

The market was a little deserted. If it had been in the past, the Liao people would have panicked, but now they are laughing.

"We need to teach the Song people a big lesson and make their hearts bleed. For this reason, it doesn't matter if they don't trade for a while. Besides, after a while, let's not intercept and kill the merchants, but rob the people... How about?"

Here is the market, a Liao man is talking loudly, and the surrounding Liao people are laughing.

"Okay, let those weak Song people cry."

"They're around! They'll hear it."

The Liao people glanced at the Song people opposite and laughed even more wantonly.

Just let the Song people know!

"Too arrogant!"

Opposite is a group of officials, and there are more than ten sergeants beside them.

The leader was a chamberlain. He sneered and said, "Those thieves are indeed from Liao."

An official nearby said: "Li Congfeng, why don't you... interfere?"

This chamberlain is Li Ziran, the enshrinement officer of Neixitou, and also the boss of the market.

He turned back to look at the officials and said, "If it weren't for those thieves, businessmen would come in droves, and how could we have good business?"

The officials all smiled, with greed in their eyes.

The Liao people were laughing. They were talking unscrupulously about the Liao army pretending to be thieves and wreaking havoc on Xiongzhou. They were laughing wantonly.

The people of Song Dynasty were laughing, and merchants did not dare to come to the market, but it made it easier for them to smuggle.

Both sides were laughing, and occasionally their eyes met, showing a full understanding of each other.

There were cargo restrictions on trade between Song and Liao. For example, Liao people were not allowed to sell horses, and Song people were not allowed to sell copper ore and other metals.

There are many items that are prohibited from being sold in this trade list, and there are also restrictions on the types of books. This is better than the previous Tang Dynasty. In the former Tang Dynasty, he wished he could teach the foreigners everything he knew. It was a heart-breaking task.

Li Ziran and the Liao official looked at each other, nodded and smiled at each other, and then led the people back.

"Those thieves are just demonstrating, let's just leave our goods, they know what's appropriate."

"yes."

Li Ziran sighed: "This business needs to be big!"

Because merchants are not allowed to trade privately in the market, official people communicate with each other to set prices and determine the volume of trade. But Song and Liao were both big countries, so the volume of goods transactions would not be enough.

The apparent trade volume was not enough, which naturally gave rise to smuggling.

This is the guidance of the market.

Li Ziran sneered and said: "Let's talk about cloth. The Liao people's cloth is thicker and cheaper. The government asked us to increase our purchases, but what should we do if the Liao people are not happy? We are not allowed to buy it privately!"

"Holy worship, where did all those cloths go?"

"Yes! Why do you want to buy a large amount of cloth from the Liao people?"

Li Ziran shook his head, "Most of them made military uniforms and gave them to those thieves."

The fabric of Song Dynasty military uniforms was actually made by Liao people?

At this time, someone came over on horseback and said anxiously, "Li Gongfeng, there are people coming from the south."

Li Ziran asked casually: "Who?"

The visitor said, "It's Shen An. He told the smugglers to surrender."

"Shen An?"

Li Ziran said with a smile: "He surrendered. He is a member of the Imperial Academy and is waiting for an imperial edict. He dares to say that he surrenders even if he is not familiar with the place. This is meant to scare people. If we are afraid, he will probably burst into laughter."

"Yes! Young people are impatient, so we just ignore them."

"He is here to deal with those Liao troops."

Li Ziran said firmly: "The main purpose of his trip is to encircle and suppress the Liao army, but he will definitely not be able to do it. When the time comes, he will be so exhausted, how can he care about smuggling? Everyone can rest assured and keep going with the goods that need to go. UU Reading www.uukaｎshu. net I want to see what a young man is capable of!"

"Li Gong, please give me your opinion! I'll just wait and see the excitement."

The group of people gradually smiled relaxedly, and the Liao people also got news.

"Shen An is here?"

"Yes. He said that the fate last time has not ended. He is waiting for us in Xiongzhou. See you there or not."

"Who did he bring?"

The people of Liao were looking at the visitor with hatred in their eyes.

Nanjing Road was humiliated by the Mangshan Army last time, and it was a real loss of face. If we can't take advantage of the crime this time and retaliate in kind, I don't know how many officials will be punished.

"He brought more than a hundred riders."

"Didn't Xiongzhou visit a lot of young people last time?"

"Those young men who haven't practiced are going to die if they go into battle."

"More than a hundred people, how many of us are there?"

"Our people can be replenished at any time. Unless the entire army is wiped out, we will always have more than a hundred people. It is easy to think of more."

"The opportunity has come." The eyes of the leader of the Liao people were brighter: "Cheer up and tell those people that Shen An is here, tell them to be alert and look for opportunities to kill him."...
