When Xiao Feng returned to Ziwei Pavilion, the government affairs in the afternoon had already begun. The Ziwei Pavilion was busy. From time to time, you could see rushing by the corridor with thick documents, with your steps light and fast.

As soon as Xiao Feng sat down in his seat, he saw Pei Qingsong pointing to the inner room. Xiao Feng quickly stood up and asked, "Is Your Highness looking for me?"

"Go in quickly! I've been looking for you twice."

Xiao Feng did not dare to neglect his clothes and tidied up his clothes. He quickly walked to the door of the King of Chu's official room and knocked on the door, "Your Highness, it's me!"

"Come in!"

Xiao Feng pushed the door and walked in. In the room, Yang Yuanqing was squinting his eyes and carefully looking at a jade Buddha on the table. The jade Buddha was light green and carved from a complete piece of chalcedony, green and round, without any flaws.

"This Li Chongshou is very generous in his move!"

Yang Yuanqing turned around and smiled at Xiao Feng, saying, "I have asked the shopkeeper of Daxingji Jewelry Store to identify this jade Buddha. He said it is a rare treasure, worth at least 500 taels of gold. It seems that they attach great importance to you."

Xiao Feng smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, they do not attach importance to me, but to my position. If I change my position, I am afraid that even the bronze Buddha will not be given to me."

Yang Yuanqing nodded and said lightly: "Take this one! Even if I give it to you."

Xiao Feng was startled, "Your Highness, this jade Buddha is too expensive and you dare not accept his humble position."

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him and said, "I would like to give you this. I dare not accept it if you have anything to do? I know that your mother is also a Buddhist. I will give this jade Buddha to her."

Xiao Feng was grateful in his heart and gave a deep gift, "I thank Your Highness for your great reward!"

Yang Yuanqing sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and asked again: "What's your relationship with him now?"

"Report to Your Highness, our relationship is progressing rapidly. We have been resting the day after tomorrow. We have made an appointment with the two families to go to Anjin Temple to burn incense together."

"Yes, then go and burn incense with him. The relationship is better. You can be sworn brothers from different surnames." Yang Yuanqing's smile was filled with a hint of teasing.

Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment and said helplessly for a while: "Isn't it a bit of a price to spend such a big price on this matter?"

"Are you a little bit obsessed with it, right?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled and said earnestly: "This is not a trivial matter. The decline of any dynasty starts from the inside. Before the world is stable, they start to compete for the throne with brothers. This is a good thing for us! It is our unshirkable responsibility to add some ignition to make their competition more violent. Do you understand? This is called fighting against the enemy."

"I understand the humble position. Brothers fight, family turmoil, prince turmoil. For a country, Huyi will definitely work hard to cooperate with Your Highness to complete this plan."

"Just understand. I guess the time for them to start is coming soon. They may feel aggrieved you a little, and I will compensate you later."

"I am willing to serve Your Highness!"

"Go! Take this jade Buddha back to your house and bring it to your mother."

Xiao Feng picked up the Jade Buddha and was about to leave, but he suddenly remembered something again and hurriedly said, "I met Feng Deyi at the Bafang Restaurant today. He said that he had just escaped from Li Mi. He was willing to serve His Highness."

"Feng Deyi?"

Yang Yuanqing was a little surprised. This versatile old friend actually came to surrender to him. Yang Yuanqing pondered for a while and asked again: "Where is he now?"

"Report to Your Highness, he is now appointed to the Sui Pavilion."

"I understand, you go first!"

"Resign from a humble position." Xiao Feng bowed and slowly retreated.

Yang Yuanqing stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and pondered for a long time. Feng Deyi came at the right time, maybe he could help him accomplish a big thing.

...........

The county seat of Yan'an County is not in Yan'an County, but in Fushi County. Qingshui River runs through the entire city. Fushi County is a central county with a population of more than 2,000 households and a city circumference of less than 20 miles. There are 5,000 troops stationed.

Although the permanent population is not large, the commerce is very developed. Almost all goods from the six counties in Guanbei are concentrated in Yan'an County and southern Guanzhong merchants for transactions, mainly fur goods and medicinal materials.

Xiao Yuansong was concerned about Chang'an's business and rushed back to Guanzhong. He only stayed in Fushi County for two days. He brought a caravan composed of two hundred camels and transported hundreds of loads of tea. When he returned, the tea was replaced with medicinal materials. After a while, the net profit was enough to be 8,000 yuan. If he could save taxes, the net profit would be tens of thousands of yuan.

Xiao Yuansong is a businessman. He would never let him go if he could earn a point. Of course, the business he came to Yan'an was done well. He used a big gourd to buy a full of gourd tinder oil on the black market.

However, the person selling tinder oil also told him that this is different from the tinder oil used by the Sui army. The tinder oil used by the Sui army needs to be precipitated several channels to be clearer. This tinder oil is directly collected from the oil well and is relatively viscous, but it can be used to treat skin diseases.

Xiao Yuansong didn't care about this, and the chief of the royal palace did not ask. As long as he had a small risk, it was not what he wanted to do to seek the Sui army's turtle oil. More importantly, he didn't want to bother his nephew Xiao Jiong.

Xiao Yuansong had already bought all the goods. At noon, the caravan set out from the inn and slowly headed towards the south gate with the crisp camel bells.

There were more than a hundred soldiers standing on both sides of the city gate. Because the inner gate was integrated, a large number of Guannan merchants traveled to and from the north of Guan, and many enemy spies were also involved. Therefore, the investigation was very strict, but no spies could be caught by just checking. The investigation mainly included prohibited items, tincture oil, pig iron, grain, charcoal, gold and silver, jujube wood poles, copper ingots and other strategic substances were not allowed to go south.

As soon as the caravan arrived at the city gate, soldiers immediately stepped forward and blocked the way. "Where is the caravan?" a captain shouted sternly.

Xiao Yuansong hurriedly bowed and said, "Report to Jun Ye, we are coming from Guanzhong."

"The caravans in Guanzhong must be investigated more strictly."

The captain waved his hand and said, "Search it for me!"

Dozens of soldiers stepped forward to search for goods, and Xiao Yuansong quickly winked at the manager. The manager immediately stepped forward and secretly stuffed a ten-two ingot into the captain's hand.

Silver cannot prevent searches, but it can prevent soldiers from damaging goods and avoid the pain of searching. This has long been a common practice. The captain smiled and ordered: "Get gentler on the move, don't break other people's goods."

The soldiers' brutal searches immediately became gentle. They no longer pierced the goods with their spears, but opened the bags to look around, and they were spared from searching.

There was a big gourd hanging on the horse that Xiao Yuansong rode, so naturally no one paid attention to it. The goods were all medicinal materials and fur, and the inspection was completed in a quarter of an hour.

"Report to the lieutenant, there are no prohibited items!"

The captain waved his hand and said, "Let it go!"

The camel began to slowly leave the city, and at this moment, someone shouted in the distance: "Stop them!"

I saw dozens of soldiers riding horses in the distance, and their helmets were made of red copper, which was different from ordinary soldiers. The captain's face changed. This was the inner guard coming. He dared not refuse to obey and immediately called: "Stop this caravan!"

At the same time, he quickly stuffed the silver back into the deacon. When he encountered the inner guards' inspection, even if he had the courage to accept a bribe, he would not dare to accept a bribe. He would be beheaded.

The caravan that was about to leave the city was stopped again, and Xiao Yuansong felt a stir in his heart, not knowing that something was wrong with him.

After a moment, dozens of inner guard soldiers rushed over, and the leader was a brigade coach. He was even more stern. He pointed at the horse whip and asked, "Who is the leader?"

Xiao Yuansong came out of the team tremblingly and bowed, "That's right here!"

The coach waved his hand and said, "Catch it!"

More than a dozen inner guard soldiers rushed up and dragged Xiao Yuansong down from his horse and tied him up. Xiao Yuansong struggled and shouted, "I haven't broken the law, why are you arresting me?"

The coach sneered, reached out and took off the gourd from Xiao Yuansong immediately, opened the lid and sniffed it, and whipped it at him with a sudden whip, "I still say that it's not illegal, what are you?"

The brigade commander poured a pool of tincture oil out of the gourd, which scared the soldiers guarding the city. The captain's face turned pale and actually had tincture oil hidden, and he almost made a big mistake.

Xiao Yuansong was stunned. How did the other party know that there was tincture oil in the gourd? Could it be that the black marketer who sells tincture oil betrayed him? It should be impossible! There are industry rules and black marketers who cannot do such a thing, so who would it be?

At this time, the soldiers of the inner guard searched the token of the Qin Prince's Mansion from his arms and shouted: "Master of the Lun, he is indeed a spy from the Tang Dynasty."

The coach took the token and looked at Xiao Yuansong with a fierce look. He stared at Xiao Yuansong fiercely, "It turned out to be a Tang Feng person, I almost got out of my mind."

‘Cang!’ He drew out the shiny horizontal sword, and Xiao Yuansong was so scared that he was disgusted. He faintly recalled that this token was probably not as simple as the token of the Qin Palace. He had seen the terrifying scene of catching a spy in the street and beheading him in the street.

．

．

．

He was so shocked that he was shocked and shouted desperately: "I am not a spy from the Tang Dynasty, I am just an ordinary businessman, and my nephew is Xiao Jiong, Sima, Yan'an County, and he can prove me!"

People often find a sense of security when they are in danger, and Xiao Yuansong is no exception. He didn't want to bother his nephew, but he couldn't care about his life.

The coach was stunned, and a colder smile appeared in his eyes. It turned out that Sima Xiao had something to do with it, and it was a big deal. He didn't dare to be careless and immediately ordered him to "Catch them all back to the military yamen to question!"

After severe torture, Xiao Yuansong finally confessed that he was entrusted by the Qin Palace to come to Yan'an County to buy tinea oil, but he did not recognize his intelligence spy in the Tang Dynasty, but he had Tangfeng waist tags on him. More importantly, this person was also related to Sima of Yan'an County.

Moreover, Xiao Feng, the military officer of the King of Chu, was also a member of the Tang Dynasty spy. The guards in Yan'an County felt that the matter was of great importance, so he did not dare to be careless and immediately sent someone to take Xiao Yuansong to Taiyuan.

There was no news about this matter, but a few days later, the court issued an order to remove the position of Sima Xiao Jiong of Yan'an County on the grounds of incompetence. At the same time, on the grounds of normal transfer, he removed the position of Xiao Guan of the King of Chu to join the army and was transferred to the position of Doctor of the Ministry of Rites.

This incident immediately caused a lot of discussion in the court. The reasons given by the court obviously could not convince people. Everyone speculated about the inside story. There must be problems with the Xiao brothers who were exempted from being demoted and demoted, especially Xiao Feng, who was actually removed from the position of military service in the Record Office. There must be major reasons for this.

But Ziweige kept silent, making this matter even more mysterious.
