Chapter eight hundred and fiftieth eighth

After Yu Ji heard the word Xu Gong, his face changed a little.

I understood what happened to Liu Zheng and others in his small Taoist temple in Langya Immortal Palace.

"It turns out that your Majesty's purpose is for this, your Majesty wait."

The old man Yu Ji turned his head and called out twice in the distance.

Soon, two children walked into the room with one person in a restraint.

This man is not old and looks about thirty years old. However, he looks panicked and starts yelling as soon as he comes in.

"Let me go, let me go, you stinky Taoist priests!"

Liu Zheng didn't know what happened, and he was even confused.

Yu Ji had already spoken to Liu Zheng on his own initiative.

"Your Majesty, this person is Xu Gong you are looking for."

"He is Xu Gong?"

"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, just ask him to come and ask."

After Yu Ji said that, he ordered the two children who were escorting Xu Gong to come here with Xu Gong.

Xu Gong was still a little angry, but when he came here, he saw Liu Zheng, Yuan Zhou and others, his face changed drastically. For a moment, he was so scared that he didn't dare to speak.

After Xu Gong was tied up in front of Liu Zheng, Dian Wei and others, Liu Zheng just looked at Xu Gong, and Yuan Zhou, who was beside him, had already started to ask Xu Gong.

"You're Xu Gong?"

Yuan Zhou had never met Xu Gong. After all, Xu Gong was just a small role. Even if he became the manager of the money shop in Changsha County, his status was not enough to talk to someone like Yuan Zhou.

So Yuan Zhou just wanted to see if this person was really Xu Gong he was looking for.

Xu Gong heard Yuan Zhou's words, but he had no intention of answering Yuan Zhou. He just raised his head and did not respond at all.

Seeing this look of looking at death, everyone smiled faintly.

"Ha, I still have some backbone. General Dian Wei, give him some colors. I want to see how long he can last under the severe torture of our Jinyiwei."

"Okay, Dian Wei likes torture people the most, so let me do it."

Dian Wei did not refuse at all. After Yuan Zhou proposed this method, he immediately prepared to rush up to Xu Gong.

Give him insight and the ten major punishments of the Jinyiwei.

However, before Dian Wei started to display his power, Yu Ji, who was standing beside him, immediately spoke again.

"Your Majesty, don't be so troublesome. The old Taoist has his own skills and can make him obedient."

"Oh? Do you have a way?"

"Please back."

Yu Ji didn't say much, but asked Dian Wei, Liu Zheng and others to take a few steps back.

Liu Zheng didn't want to use punishment at first. After all, if Xu Gong was beaten to death by mistake, it would be troublesome. He still has a lot of things to know.

Yu Ji walked over to Xu Gong and spoke to Liu Zheng.

"This man came to my temple a few days ago. He was mysterious and said he was a refugee who fled nearby. However, after I had already checked the divination, I learned that this man could bring me a great opportunity, so I left him behind. After a few days, I met His Majesty."

"Although I don't know what this person is useful to Your Majesty, since he is the person His Majesty is looking for, then I will naturally solve some trouble for Your Majesty."

The little Taoist priest shook his hands in front of Xu Gong, and the whisk flew up. Then, he stretched out his hands and swung back and forth in front of Xu Gong.

Not long after, Xu Gong, who was already a little arrogant, looked confused.

Soon, Xu Gong began to become completely obedient after a few questions and answers from Yu Ji.

Yuan Zhou and Dian Wei were stunned by the sight, almost thinking that Yu Ji was a god.

If Liu Zheng hadn't known what hypnosis was, he would have been fooled by the old Taoist priest Yu Ji.

"Your Majesty, that's OK. Now Xu Gong is controlled by me. No matter what His Majesty asks, he can answer His Majesty."

After Yu Ji, the old man, took Xu Gong under control, he immediately responded respectfully to Liu Zheng and asked Liu Zheng to come over to ask questions in person.

Yuan Zhou and Dian Wei were both curious and followed Liu Zheng and approached Na Xu Gong together.

"Your name is Xu Gong?"

Liu Zheng asked a little tentatively.

Xu Gong's eyes were blurred, as if uncontrollable, and he spoke to Liu Zheng.

"Yes. My name is Xu Gong."

"Where are you from?"

Liu Zheng did not directly ask what he wanted to know, but asked some other unrelated things first, and the purpose was to test Xu Gong and see if he was really Xu Gong.

"A native of Runan County, Yuzhou."

"When did you come to Yangzhou?"

"Three years ago."

“What to do in Yangzhou?”

"Be a manager at Yiqianzhuang, Changsha County."

"Who is the prefect of Changsha County?"

"Zhang Xian."

After hearing Xu Gong's answer, Liu Zheng believed in what he said.

Although the answer was straightforward, they could be gentle one by one. If it was a temporary impersonation, they would not know so many things.

"What happened to the ship on the Yangtze River a few days ago?"

"The shipwreck is just a plan I set up to steal money to drop the box containing money."

"Then tell me, the whole story of this matter."

The reason why Liu Zheng wanted to arrest Xu Gong was naturally because of the money that shredded the ship. The same is true for asking Xu Gong now.

"The money shop makes money very fast. When we see this money, we feel greedy, so..."

Xu Gong began to slowly tell his story to Liu Zheng.

He said it very slowly, after all, he was in a confused state. However, after talking for a long time, Liu Zheng finally understood the whole story of this matter.

It turned out that Xu Gong liked money and wanted to be rich, but he had no ability. He relied on his clan relationship with Xu You to take over the affairs of the Changsha County Money House. It was pretty good at the beginning, but as the money in the money house increased, Xu Gong was inevitably moved.

Once, when he returned to Wujun, he encountered some vortex in the waters of the Yangtze River. Often, ships would remain silent here, so he thought that if a ship filled with money sank into this place, he would probably not be able to make money in the river even if the court had the ability, and this matter would definitely be left alone.

So he secretly began to implement the plan.

Originally, his plan was perfect, and no one could know. The court thought it was a disaster for the river demon. Who knew that Liu Zheng, a person who was looking for the roots, ran away after hearing the sound of the wind.
