Several large boxes that had been seized were placed on the ground. After being opened, they suddenly glowed with golden light.
Li Yunze reached out and picked up a gold coin, and looked at the clear writing on it, which read the words "Lunu system in the sixth year of the emperor's reign" and "coin worth ten thousand yuan", Li Yunze fell into deep thought.
This time, things went so smoothly that it was a bit weird.
"Your Majesty."
Zhang Tang stepped forward and saluted and said, "The total number of gold coins lost this time is 4,355, and they are all here."
Throwing the gold coins back into the box, Li Yunze asked, "Have you asked me how they did it?"
"Your Majesty."
Zhang Tang immediately explained, "According to the person who threw the eucalyptus, it was Ju Meng, a giant bandit from Luoyang, who colluded with the Shaofu Du Shuicheng inside and outside, and used the boat to sail on the river when the sky was dark, and quietly drove the boat away, disguised as a
Shipwreck."
Rubbing his chin, Li Yunze asked again, "What do the people who throw themselves into prison say?"
"He said that he saw that the court was furious and strictly inspected him. He was frightened and feared that something would happen, so he took the initiative to commit suicide to avoid death."
Li Yunze looked around calmly, "This is..."
"Your Majesty, this is the manor of Han Fu, a wealthy businessman in Luoyang." After a pause, Zhang Tang explained, "Han Fu and Ju Meng are close friends of life and death."
When things have reached this point, the context is basically very obvious.
The play tells the story of Meng who is greedy for money and colludes with the Shaofu Du Shuicheng inside and outside to make a fortune.
Later, in order to avoid the court's pursuit, these stolen goods were hidden in a friend's manor.
If someone hadn't taken the lead, I might not have been able to find it.
Li Yunze looked at the gold coins noncommittally and said nothing.
But here Zhang Tang couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Your Majesty, this has been understood. I would like to ask your Majesty to order the capture of the giant bandit Ju Meng Daogu!"
At this time, Zhang Tang was very excited.
Such a big deal that attracted the attention of both the government and the public was solved in his hands, and he also captured the world-famous giant bandit Ju Meng. This reputation and qualifications are really hard to come by.
Li Yunze still didn't speak, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The sound of messy footsteps sounded, and a group of guards escorted an old man in splendid clothes to Li Yunze.
"Let me tell you clearly that I was wronged~~~"
The old man with runny nose and tears seemed to regard Li Yunze as Zhang Tang. After all, his extraordinary magnanimity was there, and everyone around him seemed to be centered on Li Yunze.
"Are you Han Fu? Get up and talk."
Looking at the old man in front of him, Li Yunze smiled and said, "The gold coins stolen from the imperial court have appeared in your manor. Do you know about this?"
"Replying to your words, I really don't know." Han Fu explained pitifully, "I have many manors outside Luoyang City, and my business is very busy on weekdays. I may not be able to visit this manor even once every ten months.
.In addition to servants and maids, there are also
There’s no one there.”
Zhang Tang couldn't help scolding, "You're talking nonsense. This has already been stolen, and you're still making excuses!"
Han Fu was so frightened that his tears couldn't stop flowing, and he repeatedly begged for mercy and complained of injustice.
He is really scared.
Ordinary theft is okay, but this time the court's money was lost. To be more serious, it would be enough to kill the clan directly.
He is also filled with hatred now. Which bastard is trying to harm him? If he can be found, he will be torn into pieces!
Zhang Tang looked at Li Yunze. As long as the king gave the order, he would immediately capture Han Fu and the whole Ju Meng family.
However, Li Yunze smiled and said to Han Fu, "If you want to wash away your grievances, then let Ju Meng go to the inn to find someone. If you can't see him within three days, then you have to take up the matter."
.”
After saying that, Li Yunze turned around and walked out of the manor.
On the way back to the inn, Zhang Tang was twisting around awkwardly on horseback.
Seeing this, Li Yunze smiled and asked, "Can't you understand?"
After hearing this, Zhang Tang suddenly felt relieved, saluted Li Yunze and said, "Please clear up my doubts, Your Majesty."
"Don't you think things are going too smoothly?"
Li Yunze said with a smile, "As soon as we arrived in Luoyang City, someone took the lead, and then the stolen goods were stolen. This doesn't look like a big news that shocked the world."
"Since Ju Meng can steal gold, he must not be a fool. Anyone who knows where the gold coins are hidden must be a confidant among his confidants. When such people are at the cusp of the crisis, they must strictly watch.
How can we give him a chance to become the leader?"
"Even if you run out and commit suicide, you still know that the person is missing, so you should move your things, right?"
Zhang Tang responded with some dissatisfaction, "Your Majesty, that Ju Meng may not be a smart man."
"It's possible."
Li Yunze nodded, "But I always believe that there must be a monster when something goes wrong. If you can look at things beyond the scope of this incident, you will naturally see things differently wherever you look."
Zhang Tang looked sideways and listened quietly.
"Do you know who Ju Meng is?"
"He is known as a hero and is the best among knight-errants." Naturally, Zhang Tang knew something about the famous Ju Meng.
"This is just the surface, there is a deeper meaning."
Li Yunze knew very well that Ju Mengnai was the elder of the Black Society in the North, and he was also the most famous elder in the world.
With just one word, he can accomplish many things in many places.
Just like during the Seven Kings Rebellion a few years ago, Ju Meng took the initiative to seek refuge with Zhou Yafu, which made Zhou Yafu extremely happy.
It is believed that if Meng's heart is in Chang'an, then Luoyang must be fine.
Not only that, the black knights from all over the country can be used by the imperial court.
This term does not mean letting the rangers go to the battlefield. Letting them go to the battlefield is nonsense and can only hinder us.
In fact, their role is mainly focused on gathering information, leading the way as guides, and encouraging people's aspirations.
"This is someone who is guiding and arranging for me to tamper with Ju Meng. If Ju Meng is tampered with, it will inevitably cause a commotion among the rangers from all over the world. When the time comes, the blame will naturally fall on my back."
Li Yunze looked at the bustling street in front of him and said leisurely, "Moreover, Ju Meng has an irreconcilable relationship with Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and other nobles. As long as he continues to cry out for injustice, I will have to confront the military meritorious group. This is also the important purpose of the leader."
"
Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Zhang Tang's back.
In his mind, he only thought about breaking this big deal and becoming famous, and he didn't even think about how much trouble it would bring to the king.
"You must know that the emperor of Chang'an City is really interested in interests."
Li Yunze sighed lightly, but did not finish what he said next.
During the Seven Kings Rebellion, Liu Qi even had his close minister Chao Cuo cut in half in order to quell the rebellion!
The emperor is ruthless and only has interests in his eyes.
If he were to face off against the Xungui Group, no matter how optimistic Liu Qi was about him, he would inevitably give up.
The reason is also very simple. The Xungui Group was able to launch a mutiny and massacre the entire Lu family and the Young Emperor's brothers. Naturally, they can do it again when Li Yunze comes to power.
As a profit animal, the emperor wanted the inheritance of the Han Dynasty to be stable and orderly, to defeat the Xiongnu and dominate the world, not to have unrest.
"The person behind the scenes set up this situation." Li Yunze frowned slightly and sighed softly, "They are quite capable, but it's a pity."
If Li Yunze couldn't understand the story behind the scenes, and happily used the clues sent to him to deal with Ju Meng, thinking that he had made great achievements in solving the case, the result would only be that he missed the big position.
And this is the ultimate goal of the people behind the scenes in carefully setting up this situation.
Here in the Han Dynasty, you can't offend the nobles under any circumstances, because they really dare to rebel.
If you want to change this situation, you can only wait for the new generation of generals to grow up with their military exploits against the Huns, and take away the military power of the older generation and sweep it into the garbage heap of history.
Early the next morning, there were many men strolling around with weapons in their arms outside the inn.
Immediately, a burly man with sharp eyes walked straight into the inn.
"Luoyang Opera Meng, come to pay a visit to Ambassador Zhang!"
The man's voice was loud and loud, and the roar in the inn was like thunder.
A large number of guards from the Zhongshan Kingdom nervously guarded all areas of the inn, fearing that the people in front of them would jump over the wall and hurt the king.
Zhang Tang walked out of the room and nodded to Ju Meng, "Come with me."
He led Ju Meng all the way to Li Yunze's room and motioned to him to salute.
The expressionless Ju Meng simply stepped forward and saluted, "Luoyang Ju Meng, pay homage to Ambassador Zhang."
"Where is Commander Zhang?"
Li Yunze, who was smiling, stretched out his hand and tapped Zhang Tang, who was standing beside him, "He is Commander Zhang."
Ju Meng looked doubtfully at Zhang Tang, who was standing aside like a servant. When he turned back to look at Li Yunze, there was already a hint of understanding and disbelief in his eyes.
Zhang Tang spoke up to clear up his wife's doubts: "The king is here, why don't you be polite?"
'really.'
Ju Meng's heart was filled with fear, and he immediately saluted Li Yunze and said, "I didn't know that in front of the king, it would be a capital crime, a capital crime."
"I have long admired the king's reputation for going out to defeat the Xiongnu. When I first heard the news, I immediately drank wine and praised him! I only wish I could walk under the king and kill the Xiongnu!"
Ju Meng can achieve the position of the boss of the black society, and his emotional intelligence is naturally not low.
I don’t know whether these words were true or not, but they obviously livened up the atmosphere.
Well, attacking the Xiongnu was not only the idea of the court and the emperor, but also among the Han people.
Li Yunze smiled slightly and motioned for Ju Meng to sit down and talk.
When the actors were seated, Li Yunze said, "Did you know that someone wants to plot against you until you die and your family is wiped out?"
Ju Meng's eyes immediately condensed, and he cupped his fists and saluted Li Yunze, "Please tell me, your Majesty, who wants Ju's life?"
"You have to investigate this yourself." Li Yunze shook his head slightly, "But there should be traces to follow. Whoever can benefit the most after your death will be the most suspicious. If I am not wrong, this person
When you are one of the same people... you are the one who works with you."
Li Yunze then told the whole story of what he had deduced, especially the specific choice of Luoyang, where someone claimed to be Ju Meng's subordinate, and the stolen gold coins found at Ju Meng's friend's house, etc.
"These methods can only be used by those with great power here."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Ju Meng, clenching his hands into fists, and read out a name through gritted teeth.
