In Runan, Yuzhou, a yellow dragon appears in a well.
Lu Bu led his people to search Luoyang for three full days. During these three days, he found nothing, and it cannot be said that he found nothing. General Lu, the head of the country, almost turned Luoyang upside down and searched in detail.
He did not let go of any house where food could be stored, or even the residences of some aristocratic families or ordinary people. As a result, after such a search, he discovered four dens of bandits and two factories where they secretly minted money.
Square.
We also found some hidden military associations and even captured many wanted bandits.
In these three days, General Lu has made outstanding achievements. He has solved sixteen cases, three of which involved the Zhang Song case in the past. General Lu was a little confused. He was confused about the current situation and looked confused.
After entering the Hall of Houde, Liu Xi treated him with respect. After all, it was unprecedented for someone like him to solve countless cases and arrest countless thieves in a short period of time, thus clearing up the public security in Luoyang.
General Lu, who had received the reward from Liu Xi, was walking back home in a daze. He really didn't understand that when he first took office in the past, he also wanted to work hard and catch some thieves to prove that even if General Lu
In Luoyang, he was also the most invincible warrior of the Han Dynasty. However, at that time, he worked hard for several months but found nothing. Now, he is looking for the missing food and grass, but in the end.
..
I can only lament that things are unpredictable.
In the evening, when Man Chong came to take charge of Jinwu's camp, he looked unkind and frowned. He was led into the tent by the soldiers. He saluted Lu Bu and said coldly: "Congratulations to the general. I will ask the general to help you."
I was looking for food and fodder, but I didn't expect that the general would seize the opportunity and gain a lot of political achievements for himself..." Lu Bu looked at him and didn't know how to explain it. Man Chong thought that he was serving the public good for his own benefit.
ah...
General Lu was a scholar, and he was very fond of anger, so he decided to use emotion instead of reason.
"Manjun, I didn't search for other cases in the name of searching for food and grass. These are all coincidences... I know that since I haven't found food and grass for a long time, Manjun must be anxious. However, you can't be angry with me. You can
I have searched the places where the food is stored, but I really don’t have any information. If Manjun wants to blame him, then don’t blame Bu, otherwise, Manjun will definitely be carried out of Zhijinwu’s camp!!”
Lu Bu said sincerely.
In response, Man Chong just snorted coldly and turned to leave.
As soon as I returned to Tingwei's Mansion, I saw a group of people standing in Tingwei's courtyard. Standing inside was none other than the new imperial censor, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide. Zhang Fei was chatting with others in a low voice. However,
Even though Man Chong was standing outside the door, he could still hear his whispers. Seeing Man Chong come in, Zhang Fei was overjoyed and looked at him quickly. Only then did Man Chong see that the person next to Zhang Fei was Xiu Xiu.
Yuan Shang of the Messenger of Clothes.
"Man Gong!!!"
Zhang Fei bowed his hands and Man Chong returned the favor. The three of them immediately returned to the study and sat down together. Zhang Fei then said: "I have some clues about this big case, and I am here for this!
!!", he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Man Chong. Man Chong took the letter and looked at it carefully. It was a letter written from Sikong Mansion to Jiang Zuo Mansion. It was written by Yuan Shao.
What he wrote was that he wanted to increase the treasury and asked the general government to send some manpower to carry out the increase.
Man Chong looked at the letter. He was still extremely smart. He just glanced at it and then reacted and asked: "Those sands??"
"That's right, Jiangzuo Mansion brought a lot of materials according to the order of Sikong Mansion. I learned from several craftsmen that when they were transporting, they found several bags of sand. At that time, they also
They were a little surprised and didn't know what they were doing with these, but they didn't dare to ask more, and they didn't know where they put them in the end..." Zhang Fei said, Man Chong narrowed his eyes and looked at this carefully.
Letter.
Yes, this is indeed Yuan Shao's handwriting. However, at that time, when the treasury was increased and construction was carried out, Yuan Shao gave them an order to build it. There is no problem with this. The main thing is that who has such great ability and hands
Can you reach the General's Mansion?
Zhang Fei looked at him and said: "I went to Sikong this morning to ask about this matter, but Sikong didn't take me seriously and kicked me out. I had some friction with him... Therefore,
The reason I came to Tingwei is that Duke Manchu can take action..." Yuan Shang was a little embarrassed at the side. He cleared his throat and said, "I can go to Sikong about this, and I will definitely be able to find out some information...
"
"No!!! You should avoid it!!!" Zhang Fei said.
Yuan Shang didn't know what to say.
After seeing off Zhang Fei, Man Chong rushed to Sikong's mansion. Although Yuan Shao's subordinates were not very friendly to him, they did not turn him away. They welcomed him in and entered the study. Yuan Shao was looking around.
I don’t know what he was writing in the report. Man Chong looked at him without disturbing him. After a while, Yuan Shaofang raised his head and looked at him. Man Chong paid homage to him and asked: "I am here this time.
, it’s just for the general affairs of the government...I heard that Sikong once asked them..."
Man Chong asked about various matters, and Yuan Shao answered them one by one without hiding any secrets.
Man Chong asked again: "I don't know about this, but who is mainly responsible?"
"High cadre."
Man Chong was surprised, nodded, and then said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he said: "Zhang Jun is entrusted by the emperor, Sikong... shouldn't be too rude..."
"Discourteous?? Haha, that guy bullied me. I didn't tell His Majesty to impeach him, just because of Cui Gong's face..." Yuan Shao said angrily, waved his hand, and asked Man Chong to leave.
Just a few days ago, Zhang Fei arrived here, and Yuan Shao also took him into the study and was very polite to him. Zhang Fei was also very happy, cleared his throat, and asked with a smile:
"Sikong!!! Do you know where those grains of sand come from!!!"
When Yuan Shao heard this, he was immediately furious. You Zhang Fei, I, as the Third Duke, am so polite to you, how dare you yell at me and be so rude?? Suddenly, Yuan Shao shouted, Zhang Fei
After being driven out, Zhang Fei, who was not wearing a sword, couldn't handle so many diners with sticks. He almost got a beating. He felt aggrieved. I asked nicely, how could you treat me like this?
After Man Chong learned the news, he naturally went back to the prison and interrogated the senior officials alone. The senior officials were very stubborn. No matter what method Man Chong used, the senior officials shouted that they didn't know anything and didn't explain anything. The matter fell into another trap.
In the predicament, there was not much time left for Man Chong. Reports from various places kept coming to the temple. In desperation, Liu Xi could only let Yuan Shao continue to send supplies to various places, and then solve these problems.
thing.
However, this time, Yuan Shao did not complete it alone, but the servant Hua Xiong handled the matter together with him.
After selecting the officials to go, materials were collected and sent to various places again.
Yuan Shao and Hua Xiong were busy in the mansion, or in other words, Yuan Shao was busy, while Hua Xiong just sat aside and watched Yuan Shao do this. Not only did he not help, he would also smile and praise, "Hey, it's Sikong after all." , this word is just beautiful!”
“Is this the material statistics of the national treasury??”
"Okay, Sikong does things quickly!!"
Listening to these words, Yuan Shao resisted the urge to fight with Hua Xiong and continued to work. However, as he wrote, Yuan Shao felt something was wrong. He frowned, looked at it seriously, and read it a few times. Suddenly, The whole person couldn't sit still. He was a little excited. He quickly called the officials, frowned and asked: "You gave me this report from the treasury. When was it?"
When the official saw Yuan Shao's appearance, he said suspiciously: "It's just yesterday... I wonder what's wrong with it?"
Yuan Shao's lips trembled slightly and he was speechless. He waved his hand and asked him to leave.
Hua Xiong looked at his appearance and was a little curious. He picked up the information and looked at it carefully for a moment. Suddenly, Hua Xiong laughed, looked at the silent Yuan Shao in front of him, and asked: "Sikong, I'm so happy, what's going on in the treasury?" The food supply has increased instead of decreasing... This is a good thing. How did Sikong do it??" Yuan Shao raised his head and looked at him. The two looked at each other for a moment. Yuan Shaofang shook his head and said: "No wonder Erlang values you so much..."
"Sikong already knows what happened?"
"knew..."
"What should we do?"
"Go to Houde Hall."
Hua Xiong didn't say anything more, he just bowed to Yuan Shao and left. Yuan Shao bent down and packed up the documents on the case, which looked a little old. After taking these, he asked the officials to drive and drive. Going to Houde Hall and sitting in the carriage, Yuan Shao closed his eyes tightly and was speechless. Almost all the food in the treasury had to be sent to various places. He even used his own property to fill the gap. ..
And just six days ago, someone used Sikong's order to transfer a batch of grain and entered it into the treasury.
The missing grain, the grain that had not been found in Luoyang, was actually in the treasury. If the emperor hadn't sent the grain again, and if Yuan Shao hadn't been extremely familiar with all the situations in the treasury, he wouldn't have even thought of this. , no wonder Man Chong, Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, and Yuan Shang could not be found. As for who sent the grain to the treasury, Yuan Shao lowered his head and looked at the detailed records in the recent report from the treasury.
There is a brand new signature under the list of recently transferred grains to the warehouse.
Long Shi Yuan Tan.
Looking down at the signature, Yuan Shao felt a sharp pain in his heart. He gritted his teeth, raised his head, and took a deep breath before he recovered. He didn't know why Yuan Tan did this. He was a little sluggish and got out of the car. , looking at the palace in front of him, Yuan Shao's legs were extremely heavy, and he walked towards the Houde Hall step by step.
When Liu Xi heard that Yuan Shao was coming, he did not dare to be rude. After all, he was the third prince in the country.
"Is Sikong here? But it's about sending food..." As soon as Liu Xi spoke, Yuan Shao still knelt down in front of Liu Xi. His face was pale and he bowed to Liu Xi. Liu Xi was a little shocked and looked at the man in front of him. Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Sikong, why is this? Get up quickly!!"
"Your Majesty!" Yuan Shao raised his head and burst into tears.
"I am ashamed of your majesty's gift. I have no way to teach my children..." Yuan Shao kept talking with tears in his eyes. Liu Xi probably understood in his heart, but he did not ask further questions and still used his strength to help Yuan Shao up.
, Although Yuan Shao was tall, he was already old. Liu Xi helped him up without much effort. Yuan Shao cried and said: "Your Majesty, this is all the fault of my eldest son Yuan Tan... I taught you nothing
Fang, I have neglected my duty..."
"The Yuan family has been loyal and loyal for generations, but it was ruined at the hands of my ministers!"
"Sikong...it's okay, it's okay..." Looking at the old man in front of him, Liu Xi's heart gradually became heavy. On Yuan Shao's face, he seemed to see another person. Liu Xi said gently: "
He is still young, he has done something wrong, and there is still a chance to correct it. Sikong is unaware of this, so he cannot be blamed... Sikong, you have proven the Yuan family's reputation as a loyal and good person, so don't belittle yourself..."
