Liu Guanzhang and Zhao Yun drank for half the night, talking about topics that were of interest to martial artists, very speculative, and hated to see each other late.

Li Su only drank three or five glasses with him, and he couldn't bear to go to bed early.

No way, who made him have a poor physique.

Liu Guanzhang's old driver's physique, like livestock, belongs to the ability to sleep on horseback, so it doesn't matter if he rests less at night.

But Li Su can't do it, although his riding skills are many times better than when he first crossed, but it is only equivalent to a driver's license just after the internship period.

You have to pay as much attention as a novice on the road, and if you get tired of driving, you risk falling off your horse.

However, going to bed early also has the advantage of going to bed early, that is, Li Su can sleep alone and be clean. You don't have to drink too much like those four martial artists and fall asleep.

The next day, with a little wine and food, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Li Su, took more than 20 cavalry soldiers on the road, and they were one person and three horsemen, to ensure that they could drive more than 300 miles a day.

"Yide, Zilong, take care of yourselves, handle things carefully, and discuss. Don't leave it at that. ”

"Big brother and second brother Boya, have a good trip." Zhang Fei sent Liu Bei to the bank of the Hutuo River all the time, and then said goodbye and went back.

The Zhen family still sent the old housekeeper Zhang Quan, with a few boats, to cross the river with Liu Bei and his entourage, and they did not separate until they went ashore in Zhending.

Zhang Quan watched Liu Bei bring so many horses, and when chatting with Li Su, he was also full of emotion: "County Lieutenant Liu is really a person who does great things, since the last time he crossed you south, it was only ten days, and he was already so strong and strong. ”

Li Su smiled: "Thanks to Brother Zhen Xian's help, we were able to buy so many horses in such a short time." This trip is in a hurry to go to the capital, so it is equipped with one person and three horses. ”

It turned out that this was also something that Li Su discussed with Liu Bei yesterday.

Everyone already knows that the price of horses in Beijing has skyrocketed this year, and the horse sellers will definitely make a lot of money by going south. Therefore, every time the opportunity to go south on a business trip in the name of righteousness, it must not be wasted, and it is necessary to bring a little bit of goods.

Therefore, Liu Bei just took the 10 million money just given by the Zhen family and left it on the spot to recruit troops and buy ordnance. And Liu Bei's original capital, including the recent war profits from the extermination of the Black Mountain thieves, the profits from the last time the smuggler war horse arrived in Yecheng, and these several sums of money are all gathered together, and he is ready to do another big vote this time.

This is a legal and reasonable purchasing agent, not tax evasion.

And Liu Bei's principal is about 40 horseshoe gold cakes - the last time he shipped in Yecheng, he sold more than 20 gold cakes, plus the other two inputs mentioned above, all the money on hand is more than 40 pieces of cakes.

According to the practice of normal merchants, a maximum of 25 pieces of bread are taken out to buy horses, and the remaining cakes must be used to pay various commercial taxes on the way to Luoyang. In the end, it was sold to Luoyang, even if the price of the horse in Luoyang was three times more expensive than that of Youzhou, it was exchanged for 75 pieces of cake.

40 yuan becomes 75, but you also have to consider the risks on the road, and you have to ask for bodyguards for the caravan to prevent being robbed by black mountain thieves or other thieves, and you don't make a lot of money.

But Liu Bei is an "urgent envoy to report the military situation to the imperial court" this time, and he brought a little more horse to let the guards change to ride, not for sale, and he didn't have to pay taxes.

In this way, he can buy all 40 pieces of bread, and when he sells them all out in Luoyang, he can turn them into 120 cakes.

However, this kind of business can't be done more, because this year is the last glory of the horse price, and after Emperor Han Ling formed the new army of the eighth captain of the West Garden, the entire Han Dynasty could not find someone who was so willing to spend a high price to be the head of the wronged party-

Today's Luoyang is still the imperial capital that has accumulated more than 150 years of savings in the Eastern Han Dynasty. After Dong Zhuo has washed it again, the price of high-end goods in the whole country will usher in a wave of heavy falls, because the class of "Luoyang wealthy families" has been completely washed away, and the consumption power of the upper class society in the whole world will shrink sharply.

Therefore, this money seems to be easy to make, but there is only this last hammer deal left, and it is a pity that I can't make a few more trips.

"The money of those rich people in Luoyang, if you don't make a few sums of money from him now, it will only be cheap in the end Dong Zhuo, hmph, so you don't have to be soft on their money!" Li Su was on horseback, so he completed his psychological construction.

……

Two days later, in the evening, everyone arrived in Yecheng as scheduled, and then went straight to the Assassin's Mansion, and first reported the recital jointly signed by Liu Bei, Li Su, Zhang He, and Pan Feng to Jia Cong of the Assassin -

The infantry led by Pan Feng was originally slower than Zhang He's cavalry for nearly two full days. But because Liu Bei immediately returned south after arriving at Lunu, when he returned to Wuji, he happened to bump into Pan Feng, who led his troops north.

At that time, Liu Bei reported the situation on the front line to Pan Feng, and Pan Feng heard that Zhang Chun really reversed, and let Zhang Chun run away because the deployment of the official army was not tight, and he was also a little worried in his heart. In order to make up for his weakness, after he saw that there was no problem with Liu Bei and Zhang He's recitals, he also signed his name, lest Jia Cong feel that Pan Feng was slow to move and did not know the situation on the front line.

This kind of thing can only be said that everyone has their own interests, and it just hits it off. After signing, Pan Feng led his troops north the next day, and set up patrols along Yishui between Zhongshan County and Zhuo County, like a late Hong Kong strip, doing some tail sweeping work, and catching the slow Zhang Chun's rout. These details are needless to mention.

Jia Cong received the text and read it carefully, needless to say, the initial surprise was needless to say: Zhang Chun really rebelled! And why did they collude with the Xianbei and Wuhuan people?

In order to confirm the truth, he personally questioned Liu Bei and Li Su in great detail, and summoned these two people separately and asked them unexpectedly.

But more than 85% of the original text is true, and the only exaggerated narrative about "Hu Ren's response" is that Li Su has already confessed to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also understands why he said this.

Therefore, Jia Cong's hazy and simple "isolation and review" operation of the Han Dynasty people, in front of an old yin like Li Su, is as naïve as a child.

Lao Tzu taught at the Public Security University in his last life!

Although I teach a negotiation expert course, not criminal investigation, the little bit of criminal investigation common sense that I listen to my colleagues talk about when I eat in the cafeteria every day is a hundred times better than you!

In terms of the level of anti-reconnaissance, Li Su is simply Jia Cong's ancestor, and Jia Cong naturally did not see any flaws.

"It turns out that Zhang Chun really colluded with the Hu people in Youzhou to make trouble, so there is no need to rush to suppress this matter and suppress it before reporting it to the court, but should report it to the court as soon as possible......"

After Jia Cong figured out the situation, such a thought instantly flashed in his heart.

As the assassin of Jizhou, the county-level officials in this state rebelled, and he was not able to nip it in the bud, which was originally a great dereliction of duty by Jia Cong, and his political performance would plummet.

Therefore, when he first saw the song, he was very sad in his heart, although he didn't feel that he had done it well, but he definitely had no hope for the future-

The reason why he said that he was not "an official has done the first" is because he can shirk that he has not been in office for a long time, and Zhang Chun's matter is a thunder planted by his predecessor Wang Fen. He was only ordered by the imperial court to remove Wang Fen's residual poison and "demine" in the process, but his improper methods caused the mine to explode directly.

However, when he saw the description of Xianbei and Wuhuan colluding with Zhang Chun, he became angry in his heart and grabbed a life-saving straw.

Xianbei and Wuhuan people, those are not from Jizhou! It's from Youzhou!

Therefore, this reverse case was not completely done by the locals of Jizhou, but by a small group of conspirators in Jizhou and a group of armed thieves in Youzhou, who colluded to do it!

To be held accountable, it is also half of Jizhou officialdom and half of Youzhou officialdom!

Zhang Chun ran away, and it was not that the Jizhou officialdom was unfavorable to quell the rebellion, but that the lieutenants and Sima of other departments sent by Jizhou to kill the thieves all fought hard, and the effect was also very good, but he was caught off guard by the unexpectedly Youzhou Hu people who took Zhang Chun, which caused Zhang Chun not to be caught!

Therefore, the first credit for discovering the adversity is Jizhou's!

The credit for sending troops to quell the rebellion first is also from Jizhou!

The sin that led to the failure of the counterinsurgency to be completely completed is Youzhou's!

Jia Cong, an old bureaucrat, instantly summed up the three key points that he should focus on stating to the imperial court.

We are not guilty, we are still very dedicated!

If the imperial court wants to investigate, it should also investigate Youzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian!

Thinking of this, Jia Cong did not avoid Li Su, so he ordered his subordinates in front of him: "Come on, please Zhongzhi." ”

After a short time, a subordinate in civil official clothes approached: "What does the envoy command?" ”

It turned out that he was engaged in the literary criticism of the history of assassination.

Jia Cong instructed without raising his head: "You follow this, help me draw up a seal to play for the imperial court, to emphasize the secret collusion between the Hu people in Youzhou and Zhang Chun - you know what I mean, right?" ”

Xin Ping nodded hurriedly: "My subordinates understand, do you write here?" ”

As a perennial pen for writing recitals for the assassin Shi Dai, Xin Ping certainly knows how to figure out and understand the meaning of the leader.

"You wrote next to it, and you will send it to the capital tomorrow morning."

After Jia Cong finally explained, he turned to Li Su again, touched his beard, and said thoughtfully: "Since the thief's situation is clear, the reward promised at the beginning should also be honored."

Liu Bei is the lieutenant of Anxi County, and he is an official position granted by the imperial court, so I am not suitable for direct transfer, or wait for the performance to see how the imperial court appoints him. You were originally the book of Zhang Shan, the governor of Zhongshan, right? Now that I have lost my position, I will enlist you as a scholar. ”

This is a commanding tone, and Li Su cannot refuse.

But Li Su didn't want to refuse, because he knew that this only meant a starting official position, and the important thing was not what the position was, but after he was appointed, he could still go to Luoyang for Jia Cong.

More important than the official position is the current errand.

As long as there is an envoy, Li Su believes that after arriving in the capital with his ability, he will definitely be able to change his official position soon, and as long as someone appreciates him and gives him a higher expedition, Jia Cong will not be able to let go.

"Thank you for your great grace!" So Li Su was very neat and grateful.

Jia Cong pondered, turned his head and asked Xin Ping: "Zhongzhi, Gong Cao, Book Cao and other Cao, where is there a vacancy in the book?" ”

Xin Ping was stunned in his heart, and replied cautiously: "There is a vacancy in Gongcao, but Gongcao is in charge of personnel evaluation......"

Jia Cong waved his hand: "It's okay, just let it go first." There are few Peng genus with a certain hand, more than 300 stones, and it is not suitable no matter how high it is. ”

Xin Ping no longer insisted, but secretly thought in his heart: This guy just started by telling the whistle, and he can actually be only half a level away from us!

Xin Ping is engaged in the history of the assassin, and he is an official of 300 stones, and the other officials of "Cao" under the history of the assassin are also 300 stones. And Li Su was appointed as the secretary of "Cao", which is equivalent to Cao's deputy, which is more than 300 stones.

(Note: In the Han Dynasty, there were nine levels from 10,000 stones, 2,000 stones, to the lowest 200 stones, 100 stones, and each level had a positive and "than" one, which was often omitted.) You can simply understand the "than" how many stones as the "from" several products of later generations. ）

What a lucky villain! The whistleblower was more than 300 stones.
