The fourth year of Zhongping, July 26th, Dongdu.

The scorching sun is high and the heat is steaming, leaving no place for humans or dogs to hide.

Kushui Lane, an inconspicuous house.

On the table, there are large stacks of banknotes and several silver ingots.

Inside the desk, Taoist Jia, wearing a Gebu robe, counts the "Qing Bai" banknotes in front of him one by one.

The middle-aged man wearing a straw hat and looking anxious across from him was obviously uneasy.

"Old Jia, can it be that you can't trust me?"

The distracted Jia Taoist priest continued to count and said with a smile: "Friendship is friendship, and business is business. After checking it out, I can feel at ease, and you can feel at ease too. Isn't that the truth?"

One hundred and ninety-eight, one hundred and ninety-nine, two hundred, the number is correct, the secret key is correct.

Taoist Jia felt relieved and pushed all the silver ingots in front of him to the middle-aged man.

"Here, if you can't believe me, I'll weigh you in person."

There is no need to look at the five 50-tael custom-made ingots. The two broken silver pieces look like 2 taels. It is important to leave the place of right and wrong.

Putting all the money into a cloth bag and putting it in his arms, the middle-aged man stood up and left.

Taoist Jia rolled up the money and handed it over with satisfaction. He could earn three taels of silver just by passing it. It was so easy.

That's right, a "Qingbai" handover note, the market price in Dongdu, is one hundred and fifty cents.

"Old Duan, make more next time. Don't you feel too hot after running around all day?"

Lao Duan held the door bolt with one hand and complained in his heart.

Safety first, you don’t have to worry about money or life, why should you worry about whether it’s hot or not?

If it hadn't been for an accident at home, I would never have done something like this.

This fake Taoist priest has a wide range of opportunities, and he can hand over money secretly and quickly. Even though he knows that he has made a lot of money, there is nothing he can do about it.

When you open the door latch, the light is so bright that you can't open your eyes or take a step.

Jia Daoshi said with a smile: "Why, it's too hot outside and you can't bear to leave?"

But I saw Lao Duan retreating step by step, followed by an officer and a bright double-dealing sword into the house.

Jia Daoshi was so excited that he turned over and threw himself at the window sill, pushing the edge of the window with all his strength.

When doing shady business, it is only reasonable to prepare an escape route.

However, the window ribs did not move at all. Even if I pushed harder, not even a crack was exposed.

"Old bastard, even the rat holes are blocked, so save it!"

The officer in the red shirt chuckled and flipped off Lao Duan's straw hat to confirm that he was following the right one.

He reached out and took out the cloth bag from the other party's arms, shook the money on the table, and found a roll of "handover banknotes" from Jia Daoshi's arms.

Ji Ling, the Marquis of Qujun, shouted: "The Hu Ben army handled the case, and both the people and the stolen goods were taken away! Take them away!"

Taoist Jia and Lao Duan were stunned when they heard Ji Ling's words.

Why, the Luoyang Yamen is not dead yet. When will it be the military’s turn to investigate the case and arrest people?

Besides, the two of them were just handing over money, so they deserved such a big fanfare from the "Loyal Central Tiger Guard Group"?

But being held captive by two Qiu Ba and unable to lift his head, how dare he talk any more?

After leaving the alley, Ji Ling presented the "stolen items" to General Hu Ben, the legitimate son of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu, who was on the carriage.

After taking a look, Yuan Shu smiled and saw that the total amount of "stolen items" was only fifty or sixty taels.

"Take a confession!"

Ji Ling understood this, turned around, followed the team, and interrogated him personally.

With the confession, Zhenji Tea House, Huitong Bank and even the Yongzhou man are all connected.

Regardless of whether this is the case or not, Yuan Shu, as the manager, is determined to bite off a piece of fat.

Because Lao Duan is one of the new accountants recruited by Zhenji Tea House.

Lao Duan's wife was seriously ill and was short of money. When he was worried, the price of "Qingbai" banknotes increased after the issuance, and rare goods were available.

So, the beginning scene appeared.

Lao Duan is not the only one who is short of money. Yuan Shu, a powerful general with a rank of 2,000 shi and a rank of 2,000 shi, is also short of money.

Of course, what this legitimate son of the Yuan family lacks is a lot of money.

Therefore, he was thinking about Zhen Ji, who made a lot of money every day.

There is always a reason for finding trouble.

It just so happens that the daily appreciation of the "Qingbai" banknotes has attracted some urban foxes and rats.

Through inquiring, Ji Ling learned that Jia Daoren had recently paid a lot of money, and followed the clues to find Lao Duan.

Now, Zhen Kee Teahouse can’t escape.

Under the three trees, under Ji Ling's threats and deceptions, the cunning and wretched Jia Taoist, the old Duan who was afraid of pain and death, poured beans through a bamboo tube, all admitted what they should say and shouldn't say.

After getting the confession, Ji Ling led people directly into Zhenji Tea House.

"Shopkeeper, you have done something wrong, come with me!"

Zhen Shiqi is a slave of the Zhen family, and he is by no means an ordinary person to be able to take charge of the Eastern Capital.

He stuffed a envelope of money into his sleeve and said with a smile: "General, what do you think you're doing for me?"

After accepting the money, Ji Ling said: "It doesn't matter if I tell you that your accountant's illegal transactions are against the law, and Zhen Ji cannot escape his involvement."

Zhen Shiqi frowned.

The Huben Army's investigation of the case can be called a strange thing, especially when this officer openly mentioned Zhen Ji, I'm afraid there is something fishy.

After a few words of explanation to the left and right, Zhen Shiqi followed Ji Ling.

Ji Ling locked Zhen Shiqi in an inn without beating or scolding him. He even allowed Zhen Ji to give him food and drinks, but he was not allowed to go out.

Zhen Kee broke the law in the accounting room and the shopkeeper was arrested. Ji Ling demanded five million yuan and the news spread to Zhongshan.

Although the Zhen family felt distressed, they were under the roof and the people did not fight with the officials, so they could only hold their noses and give money.

However, Zhen Qi was still imprisoned.

This time, the Huben Army determined that the "Qing Bai" banknotes issued by Huitong Bank were counterfeit. Making counterfeit banknotes and circulating them was a felony, and it was normal to confiscate homes and exterminate families.

Ji Ling asked for 20 million yuan to open the joint.

The Zhen family cannot bear it this time, nor can they sit still.

Zhang rushed to the county to see Liu Bei, hoping that the marquis would come forward to discuss with Yuan Shu.

"Since Madam wants to discuss it, fine!"

Good voices and good temper are discussions, while swords, guns, swords and halberds are another kind of discussion.

Liu Bei agreed with a smile and turned around to find Liu Neng and Xu You.

On the whiteboard, Yuan Shu’s relationship network is clear at a glance.

The Yuan family of Runan, the fourth generation and the third Duke.

Yuan Shu was a chivalrous man who liked to make friends, so He Jin recommended him as Tiger Guard and Lieutenant General.

Father Yuan Feng, late servant.

My uncle, Yuan Wei, was the Grand Tutor of the dynasty, and his disciples and former officials were all over the world.

The eldest brother, Yuan Ji, succeeded his father, Yuan Feng'an, as Marquis of Guoting, and was expected to become a royal servant.

Why did my brother-in-law Yuan Shao go on an expedition and become a captain of the Northern Military Academy? He usually cultivates party members and is very ambitious.

It is obvious that He Jin made no secret of his intention to win over the Yuan family and placed Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao in the Emperor's personal army, obviously preparing to use force to deal with the eunuchs.

When Yuan Shu targeted the Zhen family and even Huitong Bank, was it He Jin’s intention, or was it his personal behavior?

According to big data analysis, Liu Neng believes that Yuan Shu has always been extravagant and lavish.

This time, when I became the general of Huben, I must repay He Jin, so I did not hesitate to break the rules and investigate Zhen Ji, in order to implicate Huitong Bank.

Another point is that as a general, He Jin is currently in an inextricable fight with the Shichang Shishi. It is unlikely that he will stimulate the powerful Liu Bei for money.

The analysis makes sense.

But Xu You said: "It's okay to say that General He ordered it. Who asked him to ignore Yuan Jiujiao? Lord, take advantage of the opportunity to do something about it?"

Liu Bei looked in the direction of Luoyang and said casually: "I heard that Beiyuan of the Eastern Capital is a good place for hunting. Autumn is approaching. How about I go hunting with the emperor in the autumn?"

Xu You grinned almost to the base of his ears.

"My Lord is loyal and diligent in his affairs and can be a role model for the court."

Liu Neng added faintly: "At that time, wouldn't it be wonderful if Yuan Wei Hejin was asked to accompany him?"

"You are too young!" Liu Bei pointed at the sinister spy and said with a smile: "You must respect your elders, it's Taifu Yuan and General He."

Xu You and Liu Neng laughed together.

As soon as the military order came out, the whole land of Yongzhou was filled with people jumping on their horses for joy, and the military chariots were like dragons.

Liu Bei, Xu You, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Sun Xia and others led 3,000 elite cavalry and 5,000 warriors, together with Lu Bu's 2,000 men and horses, to attack in full force.

In three days, we crossed Hedong.

On the seventh day, Chen Bing marched to the northern suburbs of Luoyang, thirty miles away from the imperial city.

The Yongzhou Army made rapid progress and did not give the court time to react.

Emperor Liu Hong looked at the invitation letter from his cheap cousin and felt fear for the first time.

"Beiyuan Autumn Hunt... Mr. Yuan, General He, look at me, should I go or not?"

Yuan Wei and He Jin looked at each other, wondering when and where they had offended that Zhuo County rogue?

In any case, Liu Bei raised troops without an edict and invaded the imperial capital without severe punishment. Where is the majesty of the emperor? Where is the law of the court?

Therefore, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty unanimously believed that they must retaliate and send troops to suppress it.

Then choose your general.

Scanning downwards, Emperor Liu Hong couldn't find the target.

Hey, where is the best choice for Yunwen and Yunwu to suppress the evildoers?

Lu Zhi, I have been ill for several days. I am almost dying of illness, and my pulse condition is as chaotic as the "General's Order".
