"What the hell is going on?" Manzhong asked.

"During today's routine search, someone found a batch of silk silk in the place where horses were raised, which seemed to be produced in Xuzhou."

Now there is already a rumor in the city of Xudu, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.

The edict of the Son of Heaven is in hand, and it is even more stressful for the full pet.

Cao Cao, in order to grasp the meticulous work, gave him everything to make it convenient, and asked for an edict if he wanted an edict, but if the government service was not enough, he sent troops to temporarily replenish it.

At this time, he only had a county order, and there were nearly 1,000 people under him.

But Man Pet still had no clue, he only knew that someone had leaked secrets to Liu Bei, but there were no clues, he could only send troops to search everywhere like a headless fly.

The focus of the current search is on the residences of court officials and public houses.

Today, someone searched the place where the servant Cheng Butu raised horses, and accidentally found a batch of silk silks, as many as 100 horses, and the searcher immediately became suspicious.

If they say that they have coins in their hands, they can also be said to have brought them from the grassland, but the silk silk is obviously a product of the Han people, and there are so many, Butu is limited, where did they get it?

You must know that in this era, silk silk can be used as money.

The leader of the government officials who led the team to search immediately felt that the opportunity for meritorious service had arrived, and hurriedly took the silk silk to inquire about the government.

The people who will make the house will know at a glance that such a texture of silk is produced in Xuzhou or the land of Lianghuai.

The layout office actually found Xuzhou silk silk, which also confirmed the possibility that the layout reported to Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and these silk silks may be the remuneration paid by Liu Bei.

So the head of the government felt that everyone had been stolen, and hurriedly sent someone back to the government to report.

"Gather all the hands and follow me to arrest people!"

Manzhong's eyes lit up when he heard this, he had been busy for more than a month, and the sky lived up to his heart, and now he finally had a clue.

"The prince of the palace is slow," at this time, a scribe dissuaded him beside him: "That servant is a subordinate official of Jiuqing, and the prince of the palace will be arrested at will, and I am afraid that it will be true." ”

"Afraid of what?" Man Chong's eyes widened, and he pointed to the edict that was offered there: "I have the edict of the Son of Heaven in hand, as long as the evidence is conclusive, even the three princes and nine kings can be arrested, not to mention a mere servant?" ”

"But...... I heard that the servants were brought back from the grassland by Prince Ping, and the official position of the prince was also recommended by Prince Ping," the scribe muttered.

"This ......"

Man Chong was stunned for a moment, it was no secret that Butu and his party came to Xudu with Liu Ping.

"Afraid of what?" Man Chong immediately gritted his teeth and shouted: "Cao Sikong has an order, in order to investigate carefully, people block and kill, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, even if Ping Gongzi stands in front of him, I should catch it."

Moreover, this grassland man is ungrateful, knowing that Ping Gongzi is about to lead the army to the battle, but for the sake of money, he secretly reports to the enemy army, which is really worthy of Ping Gongzi's recommendation.

I caught these wolf-hearted and dog-lunged people, and it can be regarded as the end of the troubles for Ping Gongzi. ”

Although many people know that the Butu family was brought back by Liu Ping, there are very few people who know what the relationship between Butu and the others is with Liu Ping.

Although full of favor is jealous of Liu Ping's power, it is not easy to find clues at this time, how can he miss it?

What's more, he holds the edict of the Son of Heaven and Cao Cao's edict, which can be described as a double appointment, and no one has to scruple.

At this time, the scribe continued to wonder: "But the steppe man is just a servant, and he can't get in touch with the edict of the Son of Heaven at all, how does he know the time when the Southern Expeditionary Army will go on the expedition?" ”

They had previously deduced that even if someone in the court leaked secrets, it must have started from the edict of rebellion invited by Cao Cao, so the object of their investigation was also a high-ranking official who had access to the edict.

However, the imperial servant is only a subordinate official of the imperial servant, and it is impossible for him to have access to such a confidential edict, so how did he know the news in advance?

"Perhaps, we have gone astray from the beginning," Man Chong thought for a while, "It is not only the Edict of the Son of Heaven that can accurately predict the time of the expedition.

This expedition is all cavalry, and 3,000 horses must be used, so how can the servant not know?

I'm afraid it's earlier and more accurate than Asai knew. ”

"The prince of the mansion is high," the scribe suddenly realized, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the full pet.

With 3,000 horses, it is not necessary to call for it on the fly, and it is inevitable that preparations must begin many days in advance.

Thinking about it this way, although the official position of the servant is not high, he does know the date of the army more accurately than anyone else, and he knows it in advance.

With this news, it makes sense to sell it for a good price.

"In this way, the steppe people may not escape the responsibility."

"Arrest someone!" The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and with an order, he led hundreds of officials to go straight to the place where the horses were raised.

……

Although the imperial court officials were officials, the imperial court did not have military horses, so the main task of the Butu people was to raise horses for the Cao family.

Since their family came to Xudu, they are no longer slaves as before, not only have they regained their freedom, but they have also become court officials, everyone is satisfied, and they can't help but be even more grateful to Liu Ping.

There were even many people who instigated Sang Qige to live in Liu's mansion quickly, for fear that Liu Ping would no longer show them kindness.

Although they knew that Liu Ping was leading the army and was not in the mansion, it was better to let Sang Qige go to his mansion and wait.

Although Sang Qige was also willing at this time, after all, she offered to stay with her brother at the beginning, and now Liu Ping did not signal, how could she take the initiative to send herself to Liu's mansion by herself as a girl's family?

She pondered, when Liu Ping came back, as long as she revealed a little bit of meaning, she would move into Liu's mansion without saying a word, and hand over this body to her master in this life.

Liu Ping has not come back yet, but there is good news from the grassland, the team for the marriage of the daughter of the Dolan patriarch has set off, and it will be sent to Xudu on the same day to complete the marriage with Butu.

At the beginning, Liu Ping relieved the siege for the big danghu in the court, and washed away the grievances in order to go to the low, Cao Cao also gave him grain and grass, and he was naturally grateful, and immediately sent a messenger to thank him, and made an alliance.

Liu Ping proposed to let the Dolan patriarch send his daughter to marry Butu, this little thing was not a matter for Qubei at all, and under his strong pressure, the Dolan patriarch did not dare to disobey.

What's more, now that the Butu clan has not only escaped from slavery, but also climbed the high branch of Liu Ping, they have already become high-ranking officials in the imperial court, and the Dolan patriarch has no reason to object.

Now for Butu, it is really a good thing one after another, and he is naturally grateful to Liu Ping, and he has long regarded Liu Ping as a god in his heart.

even regretted a little that he didn't go out with Liu Ping at the beginning, so that even if he worked hard, he would protect Liu Ping and be thoughtful.

Now I can only pray in the morning and evening, hoping that Liu Ping can return safely.

But unexpectedly, early this morning, they were surrounded by a group of officials, and many silk silks were found in a storehouse, and Butu didn't know what was going on.

Their dwelling was actually a few rows of earthen huts on the edge of the horse ring, which served as both people and storehouses.

In order to repay his kindness, Butu soaked in the horse pen every day, and there were many houses that he had never opened, so how could he know where the sudden extra silk came from?
