Chapter 858: The Truth Comes Out

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

I understood what Liu Zheng and others were doing when they came to his small Langya Immortal Palace Taoist Temple.

"It turns out that Your Majesty's intention is precisely for this, Your Majesty wait a minute."

Yu Ji, the old man, turned his head and called softly into the distance twice.

In a short time, two children entered the room with one person in tow.

The man wasn't very old, he looked like he was about thirty years old. However, his face was panicked, and he began to shout as soon as he entered.

"Let go of me, let go of me, you stinky Taoists!"

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

This Yu Ji had already taken the initiative to speak to Liu Zheng.

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

"He's Xu Gong?"

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

Yu Ji said that, so he ordered the two little children who were escorting Xu Gong to carry Xu Gong here.

That Xu Gong was still a little angry, but when he came here, after seeing Liu Zheng and Yuan Zhou and others, his face changed greatly, and for a while, he was too frightened to speak.

After Xu Gong was tied up in front of Liu Zheng and Dian Wei and others, Liu Zheng just looked at Xu Gong, and Yuan Zhou on the side had already begun to ask Xu Gong.

"You're Xu Gong?"

Yuan Zhou had never met Xu Gong, after all, Xu Gong was only a small character, even if he became the manager of Changsha County, his status was not enough to talk to a person of Yuan Zhou's level.

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

That Xu Gong heard Yuan Zhou's words, but he didn't answer Yuan Zhou's meaning at all, he just raised his head and didn't respond.

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

"Heh, there is still a little backbone, General Dian Wei, give him some color to see, I want to see how long he can last under the torture of our Jinyi Guard."

"Okay, I like to torture people the most, so let me come."

Dian Wei also did not refuse at all, and after Yuan Zhou proposed this method, he was immediately ready to rush towards Na Xu Gong.

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

However, before Dian Wei began to show his strength, Yu Ji on the side immediately spoke again.

"Your Majesty, don't be so troublesome, the old man has a hand, you can obediently make him obedient."

"Oh? Do you have a way? ”

"Please stand back, Your Majesty."

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

Liu Zheng didn't want to use the punishment in the first place, after all, if he missed and killed Xu Gong, it would be troublesome, and he still had a lot of things he wanted to know.

Yu Ji walked towards Xu Gong and said to Liu Zheng.

"This person, a few days ago, came to my Taoist temple, mysterious, said that it was a nearby refugee, but after I calculated the old way, I learned that this person can bring me a big opportunity, so I left him, until a few days later, I met Your Majesty."

"Although I don't know what use this person is for Your Majesty, but since it is the person Your Majesty is looking for, then I naturally want to solve some troubles for Your Majesty."

The little Taoist priest shook his hand in front of Xu Gong, whisked the dust and flew up, and then stretched out a pair of hands and swayed back and forth in front of Xu Gong.

It didn't take long for Xu Gong, who was still a little arrogant, to look confused.

After a while, this Xu Gong began to become completely obedient under Yu Ji's few questions and answers.

Yuan Zhou and Dian Wei, who were on the side, were stunned for a moment, and almost really thought that Yu Ji was an immortal.

If it weren't for Liu Zheng, he would know what hypnosis was. will really be fooled by Yu Ji, an old Taoist priest.

"Your Majesty, it's okay, now that this Xu Gong has been controlled by me, no matter what Your Majesty asks, he can answer Your Majesty."

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

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

"Your name is Xu Gong?"

Liu Zheng asked a little tentatively.

Xu Gong's eyes were confused, as if he was uncontrollable, and he opened his mouth to answer Liu Zheng.

"Hmm. My name is Xu Gong. ”

"Where are you from?"

Liu Zheng didn't directly ask what he wanted to know, but first asked about some other unrelated things, the purpose was also to test this Xu Gong to see if he was really Xu Gong. ,

"A native of Runan County, Yuzhou."

"When did you come to Yangzhou?"

"Three years ago."

"What are you doing in Yangzhou?"

"Be a steward under a money village in Changsha County."

"Who is the Taishou of Changsha County?"

"Zhang Xian."

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

Although the answer is simple, but they can be gentle one by one, if it is a temporary impersonation, it should not know so many things.

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

"The shipwreck is just a ploy I devised to steal money, and I dropped the box containing the money."

"Then tell me the whole story."

The reason why Liu Zheng wanted to arrest Xu Gong was naturally because of the money and shipwreck, and now he asked Xu Gong the same.

"The money bank accumulates money very quickly, and when we see this money, we are greedy, so we ......"

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

said it very slowly, after all, he was in a state of confusion, but after saying it for a long time, Liu Zheng finally understood the whole story of this matter.

It turned out that this Xu Gong liked money and wanted to be rich, but he had no ability, relying on his clan relationship with Xu You, he won the head of Changsha County Qianzhuang, which was good at the beginning, but when the money in Qianzhuang became more and more, Xu Gong inevitably had some heart.

Once, when he returned to Wu County, he encountered a whirlpool in the waters of the Yangtze River, where there were often ships that would be silent, so he was thinking that if the ships loaded with money sank here, presumably even if the imperial court had the ability, it would not be able to make money in the river, and this matter would definitely be over.

So he secretly began to implement the plan.

Originally, his plan was seamless, no one could know at all, and the court thought it was the disaster of the river demon, who knows, out of Liu Zheng, a person who seeks the roots, after he heard the rumors, he ran away.

"Finally, let me ask you another question, does this matter have anything to do with Xu You?"
