On the river outside Shuzhou City, the Wancheng Army's ships stopped here.
It was already late at night.
You Jiugong didn't drink a sip of water or eat a grain of rice.
He can't eat it.
Zhao Fanjincang: "Sir, do you really want to fight?"
You Jiugong shook his head: "I dare not fight. Huang Jixuan said nothing wrong. If our Wancheng army repeats this, it will be a breach of trust in the world, which will be extremely unfavorable to us in the future. First, I was to scare him, and second, I used the trick of frightening the snake. General Meng Liao has already lurked on all the roads outside Shuzhou City.
Zhao Fan understood: "Sir, if the person who really takes this money is afraid, they will escape overnight."
"Half and half." You Jiugong said: "They have only half the chance of escaping. I hope we will send troops to put pressure on Shuzhou, just don't fight. This principle is still on our side. I am also waiting for someone, and he will definitely see through the situation. In the end, if we find this money and find evidence, we can get the principle."
Zhao Fan said: "Sir, let me go and inspect."
You Jiugong looked at Zhao Fan from top to bottom. He didn't believe that Zhao Fan could break this situation at this age.
This requires real reasoning and even a master of detectives can break the situation.
So he was waiting for Chen Yue.
Chen Yue is also a famous scholar of the times, and is also a disciple of Zhang Shi.
However, You Jiugong thought that Zhao Fan should be given a chance: "Go, be careful when encountering things, don't conflict with others, and don't easily contact the Shuzhou yamen."
Zhao Fan bowed and bowed: "Yes, the students understand."
Let’s talk about the Shuzhou Prefect’s Office.
Huang Jixuan sat behind the desk with his hands covering his head, and he was also thinking about this matter.
This has nothing to do with him.
He only received a message from Zhao Linde, a handwritten letter, and a small box of gold, asking him to have a good banquet for the people from the Wancheng Army, and there was no other request.
But what's wrong?
At this time, Zhao Linde arrived.
"Duke!" Huang Jixuan quickly met.
Zhao Linde said: "I have sent someone to investigate. This matter is so strange. The people from the Wancheng Army first checked the money, silver, silk, and banknotes, and checked it correctly. Why did it all turn into fakes? It's really hard to understand. Also, I'm the one who arranged for you to invite the Wancheng Army. I didn't give you gold."
Huang Jixuan was anxious: "Where is that person?"
Zhao Linde said: "It's indeed a person from my house. It's just a small matter like asking you to hold a banquet, and it's not a secret matter. Naturally, he arranged a servant to come and pass the message at will. I asked him, and he said that when he came to your yamen, someone caught up with him and gave him a box of gold."
Huang Jixuan asked respectfully: "Duke, what about?"
As he said that, Huang Jixuan sent the small box of gold to Zhao Linde.
Zhao Linde opened it and looked at it, shook his head with a wry smile, then reached out and pointed: "Look at it yourself."
Huang Jixuan did not look at the gold seriously, so he picked it up and took it.
This is a newly cast gold thigh, in the shape of a gourd, and the words pressed on it are exactly six of the batch of gold thighs given to the Wancheng Army, all of which are the standard size of twenty taels.
Huang Jixuan said gritted his teeth and said, "This person is extremely evil. He not only exchanged the military funds for the Wancheng Army, but also framed the officials and the Duke of the State. With these six pieces of gold, he really couldn't tell the whole body."
Zhao Linde nodded, he didn't understand who did this.
What’s scary is that why did God turn real silver into fake silver without knowing it?
Another day passed, and the Wancheng Army sent 100 warships and 5,000 soldiers. From Qizhou, 20,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers were gathered. He set his sights on attacking Shuzhou.
Zhao Linde also met You Jiugong again.
Zhao Linde straight to the point: "Can't we just talk?"
You Jiugong asked back: "How can we talk about our Wancheng Army like this? Since the Duke said that, I will give the Duke a few days. There must be an explanation for this matter, either give money or start a war."
Zhao Linde asked again: "Don't you check the cause or conspiracy?"
What You Jiugong wants is a step. He already felt that Huang Jixuan might not know. Zhao Linde's current attitude also made him feel that Zhao Linde was also a deceived.
You Jiugong stared at Zhao Linde for a cup of tea before nodding slightly: "Yes, check it out."
"good."
Zhao Linde breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, a large number of letters began to be sent out. Zhao Linde was actually very scared. The most terrifying thing was that he didn't even have the object of doubt at this time.
Let’s talk about Lin’an.
What happened in Shuzhou was spread to Lin'an, and naturally it was spread to the imperial court and the Han family.
Han Tuozhou was still on vacation at this time, and the reason was too sufficient. The eldest grandson was born. How could the Han family not pay attention to such a big thing? It is not an exaggeration to say that the wet nurse alone prepared half a company, and the experienced mother arranged a company, and various supplements were piled up.
Qian Xinyao didn't feel it herself, but in fact she had already gained at least ten pounds.
On this day, although Han Tuozhou was on vacation, he still cared about national affairs, and even during vacation, he had to pay attention to national affairs.
Liu Zheng, Jing Tong is here.
Liu Zheng gave Han Tuozhou a formal official document, and Han Tuozhou saw Liu Zheng’s handwritten letter from You Jiugong.
After the two of them looked at each other, Han Tuozhou asked: "How do you feel?"
Liu Zheng said: "Huang Jixuan may also be a victim in this matter."
Jing Tong also said: "Duke Han, in my opinion, I want to send an official to deal with this matter. This matter is very strange. I am thinking that it is possible, it is possible."
Jing Tong said two possibilities, but dared not say the following.
Liu Zheng said, "It is possible that there is a golden man behind it. But who is it?"
Who is Liu Zheng talking about, not who is the Jin people, but who is colluding with the Jin people in Shuzhou. What they are looking for is definitely not money, and the Jin people don’t want Wancheng to be surrendered like this.
At this moment, Han Jiang, who confirmed the purpose of the Jin envoy from Mingzhou, had returned.
Han Jiang heard about Shuzhou from Shidazu, so he immediately came to Han Tuozhou's study.
Han Jiang didn't knock on the door, but pushed it in directly.
When Han Jiang gave a gift, Han Tuozhou didn't look at him, but said, "I think this can also cause a conspiracy for the Jin people. There are many people in the court who are still afraid of the Jin people. Let them set up a plan to tell the Jin people that they will find ways to weaken the Wancheng army, and then when the time is right, I hope to attack the Jin people from north to south and destroy the Wancheng army."
Jing Tong was shocked and asked anxiously: "Is this suitable?"
Han Tuozhou said: "If you want Xin Youan to design it specifically, he will take advantage of this opportunity to do big things."
Over there, Liu Zheng had already bowed to Han Jiang to return the gift. Han Jiang stood in front of Han Tuozhou after seeing each other with Jingtong: "Dad, I'm back."
Han Tuozhou just nodded.
