Chapter 1,776 Who is the uncle?

Finally, the study became quiet.

Xiao Tuohui's bodyguard and Wang Jing's bodyguard also withdrew from the study.

Seeing the old god Wang Jing in the courtyard, Xiao Tuohui's guards were frightened, but Wang Jing's guards looked embarrassed.

Wang Jing was too lazy to pay attention to them and came to the door of the study: "Xiao Jixiang, come out."

"Don't even think about committing suicide in there. No matter what, I won't be stigmatized even by His Majesty."

After a while, Xiao Tuohui walked out of the study. It seemed that he had tidied his clothes and his expression was calm again. He only said to Wang Jing: "My husband is very resourceful."

Wang Jing's face was expressionless: "I don't understand what Ji Xiang is talking about. Does Ji Xiang want to keep the gold medal for himself or leave it to my temporary care?"

Xiao Tuohui did not hesitate, took out the gold medal from his sleeve and handed it over.

Wang Jing gently took the gold medal.

The guard who was being held hostage immediately knelt down when he saw this: "I'll attack! I'll attack them all! It was Xiao Jixiang who asked me to lure Manager Li into the rockery in the garden and assassinate him... He said, he said this was a great service for His Majesty,

There will be a reward afterwards!"

Wang Jing said to him kindly: "These people are waiting for the people from Dali Temple to come. It's not too late for you to talk to them slowly and in detail. Don't worry, this matter will not implicate innocent people. What I said before is true."

After speaking, he said to the sergeants around him: "Everyone, please listen to the command of Ambassador Xiao, and send the Prime Minister to rest first. Ma San, clean up the study, I want to write a bullet."

Everyone retreated out, and the family members and children in the courtyard dared to cry and make a sound. For a while, everything was in chaos.

Wang Jing frowned and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet!"

There was a sudden silence in the courtyard.

Wang Jing let out a sigh of relief: "It's all over, why are you crying for mourning? Do whatever you need to do!"

…

Ma San's movements were still fast, and the study was quickly tidied up.

That night, after Wang Jing finished writing the bullet, he asked Ma San, who had been recruited to the study to serve him: "How long have you been a spy for the Song Dynasty?"

Ma San bowed and said, "In response to what the prime minister said, on the way back to Liao, the then envoy Zhang recruited Xiao."

After that, he explained: "Actually, I didn't do anything. A few years ago, Forty-three Jiedu came to me with a secret code and said that he wanted to arrange a passage for you, Prime Minister. But it's best not to use it if you can.

Don't let the Prime Minister know, so as not to cause trouble for you."

"You didn't do anything? You didn't do anything but gave those account books to Jiedu?"

Ma San said: "Yes, there is nothing a villain can do. Back then, he couldn't control his crotch, so he found a wife in the Song Dynasty and gave birth to a baby. Don't you have to do something with his salary?"

"But don't worry, Mr. Xiang. Jiedu said that these few account books for bribing the clan and senior officials of the North Court, as well as the handles of the officials of the South Court, are nothing compared to the... business between him and the Prime Minister.

, let me put it back quietly."

"Jiedu received a secret report a few days ago, saying that Prime Minister Xiao is going to take action against you, Prime Minister, and asked me to take out the account books quickly, otherwise Prime Minister, you will be in big trouble."

"Jiedu said that Song and Liao are a country of brothers, and Prime Minister, you are the backbone of Daliao. The southern states all point to you, Prime Minister, to live their lives. If Xiao Ji gets his way, southern Daliao will definitely be corrupted."

"The younger one is from Xianzhou, and I don't want my hometown to turn into what Jiedu said, so..."

Wang Jing handed the brush in his hand to him for washing and said: "Don't talk about yourself so noble, you are a secret spy, a secret spy of the Song Dynasty."

Ma San lowered his head and started writing: "But Jiedu said that the Song State and the Liao State also have common interests. At least, they have common interests with the southern states of the Liao State."

"Common interests..." Wang Jing picked up his memorial and checked: "Is this a new word coined by Situ in the Song Dynasty?"

"I don't know either." Ma San said, "But Jiedu said that the southern states of the Liao Kingdom were actually more like the Song Kingdom, and the northern states..."

"Continue." Wang Jing glanced at the memorial a few times and found nothing wrong. He picked up the tea bowl again and said, "I actually like to hear what people from other countries think of the Liao Kingdom. Today's opportunity is a rare one."

Ma San said: "Don't mind, Prime Minister. I only heard about Jiedu. Merchants occasionally mentioned it. Jiedu said that the north and south of the Liao Kingdom were divided. In fact, the southerners provided money and food, the northerners provided troops and horses, and the southerners raised them.

People from the north, people from the north defend people from the south.”

Wang Jing couldn't help but smile: "This is a bit rough and simple, but it's not unreasonable."

Ma San said: "To put it this way, we southerners have also contributed greatly to this country. It cannot be said that we southerners are protected by northerners, so we have to be inferior to them."

"What Jiedu said later is a bit outrageous, but I think it makes sense."

"Oh? What did he say?"

"Jiedu said that the one who enjoys the meal should be the uncle."

Wang Jing spit out a mouthful of tea. Fortunately, he turned around quickly, otherwise the memorial on the table would have to be transcribed again.

Ma San quickly took the handkerchief and wiped it for Wang Jing: "I don't think there is anything wrong with Jiedu's words. The Prime Minister rewards me with food, so I have to serve him well."

"That's because you don't have a knife in your hand." Wang Jing said angrily: "With a knife, when we meet in the wilderness, your Ma San's tone of voice may be different from what it is now."

Ma San was a little confused and stood there, seeming to be thinking about the possibility of doing this.

Wang Jing felt that today was probably the most magical day he had ever experienced in his life. After experiencing a huge event, he was not nervous at all.

A Prime Minister of the Southern Court of the Liao Kingdom and a local spy of the Liao Dynasty developed from the Song Kingdom actually had a very happy chat.

Wang Jing even felt that Ma San was completely worthy of his trust. Old Ma was right. The biggest secret in the Prime Minister's Office was nothing compared to the deals he had done in partnership with the 43rd Jiedu of the Song Dynasty.

It doesn’t even count.

He did not ask about the ship's retreat, but said to Ma San: "Everyone in the yard has seen your performance today. From tomorrow on, just take over Lao Li's mission."

"Old Li died a tragic death. Tomorrow I will give his family five taels of imported money as funeral expenses."

Ma San did not refuse, bowed and said: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for the promotion."

Wang Jing said: "Your wife and children are all in the Song Dynasty, so I won't embarrass you. In fact, I also know that there are many people like you in the business houses, goods stores, banks, and workshops in the southern states."

Ma San said: "Actually, the Song Dynasty is not that afraid of us old people. Jiedu said that he can go back to the Song Dynasty at any time. He doesn't care about us now."

"It's me who wants to stay, but it's not to do things for the Song Dynasty, but... I want to do something for my hometown."

"I often think that if my hometown Yizhou could be like Mozhou in the Song Dynasty where my wife and children live, the income would be three and a half stones per acre, and the tax would be 1 per 15. The grandchildren could read and write, and the bride could go to the tea market every year

Buying a few pieces of cloth, making a few clothes, and killing two fat pigs during the Chinese New Year at home is a real way of living..."

Wang Jing held the tea bowl and was lost in thought for a while: "No wonder you all yearn for the Song Dynasty. The forty-three festivals are right. The one who rewards the rice is the uncle..."

In March of the second year of Shaosheng, Wang Jing made a bombshell that shocked the entire Liao political arena.

Xiao Tuohui, the envoy of the Third Division, made an imperial edict and deceived Xiao Lugui, the envoy of Wu Xin's military establishment in Tokyo, to search the prime minister's house and secretly sent guards to kill Li Houxing, the housekeeper of the prime minister's house. He was so heartbroken and rebellious that he couldn't speak anymore.

The cause of the matter was that when checking the Tokyo treasury, Xiao Tuohui discovered that a large number of officials had shortfalls in borrowing money. He tried to fabricate evidence that Wang Jing, the prime minister of the South Academy, was corrupt, and bribed official Li Houxing. Wang Jing went in and out of the secret room of the study. There were several officials inside.

After reading the records and numbers in this book, he broke into the palace and ordered the sergeants to kill the officials and silence them. Then he opened the secret room and took out the book.

It turned out that those books were just prescriptions collected by Wang Jing, because the prescriptions were recorded with how much money they had. Li Houxing only knew the numbers and thought those were Wang Jing's secret accounts, which led to this incident.

Originally, Wang Jing had been transferred out of Tokyo by Xiao Tuohui, but on the bank of the Liao River, Wang Jing remembered that he needed to discuss the floating bridge with the Third Division, so he returned to Tokyo and just happened to break the matter.

Afterwards, Wang Jing asked Xiao Tuohui to hand over the gold medal and be imprisoned; he also waited behind closed doors and asked Yelu Yanxi to send Dali Temple to investigate.

But this incident triggered huge panic in the southern states.
