Chapter 0657 The Great Case of Luoyang
At the west gate of Luoyang, it was already surrounded by soldiers, here, crowded with dozens of carts, the carts were loaded with grain, and all kinds of tools, the carriages were lined up from the city to the outside of the city, and even the entire road was crowded, Yuan Shao walked quickly beside these vehicles, constantly checking the carriages, he was followed by two officials, they were holding a list in their hands, comparing the number of materials.
At the front of the vehicle, Gao Gan looked at Yuan Shao one by one helplessly, he was also a little dissatisfied in his heart, he is your family, how can he not trust himself so much, and he still has to check it in various ways? However, he didn't dare to say anything, in these days, Yuan Shao is becoming more and more irritable, and he is abusing at every turn, for him, a junior, if he is really beaten, he can only bear it, why bother to be unhappy?
Yuan Shao looked very seriously, it took a lot of effort, only after the verification was completed, he came to the front of Gao Gan, Gao Gan was possessed, respectful, Yuan Shao glanced at him, and said: "This time, you send these materials to Liangzhou, you must personally hand them over to Xing Gong's hands, remember, you are not allowed to hand them over to others, even if it is the local history of thorns, you can't entrust others, these materials are very important, if you are missing half a point, you will wait to see Xianfu!" Got it?? ”
Gao Gan was taken aback, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured, Sikong is determined to live up to his mission!" ”
Yuan Shao nodded, looked at Cao Zhi behind him, and asked again, "Are you sure there is nothing wrong, right?" ”
Cao Zhi looked at the bill in his hand, nodded, and said, "No." ”
"Then let's go, have a safe journey!!" Yuan Shao said solemnly, Gao Gan saluted him again, turned around and was about to leave, the vehicle slowly left outside the city, the horsemen got on the car one after another, shouting loudly, Yuan Shao and the two officials stood aside, watching these people leave, there were many carriages, under the protection of a group of soldiers, towards Liangzhou, Yuan Shao stood aside, looked carefully, but the whole person was a little tired.
Today, a total of four convoys are leaving Luoyang.
The first team was led by senior cadres and went to Liangzhou, which was sent to Xing Ziang to build a gallop road, the second team was to Xizhou, which was to be handed over to Jia Xu, so that Jia Xu could use it in foreign trade, most of the carriages were those ordnance that had been eliminated, and there were also some grains and dried meat, which were used by the Southern Army, and the third team was rushed to Yangzhou, which was naturally to fund Cao Cao, and the last team was consumed by the Northern Army.
This is only the second team of carriages sent away by Yuan Shao, next, there are still two lines of people to leave, Yuan Shao has to monitor the situation of the materials, he has been a little uneasy recently, always feels that there is something going to happen on the materials, only by personally sending them off, he can feel at ease, Yuan Shao, who has been busy these days, has white hair, it seems, he is already a little old, he watched the carriage leave, suddenly, he frowned, and suddenly said: "Let them stop!! ”
Cao Zhi on the side was stunned for a moment, and only then did he react and yelled: "Stop!" Order of the Sky!! Stop!! ”
After the senior cadre who ordered the groom heard this, he hurriedly asked everyone to stop, Yuan Shao frowned, and walked up slowly, Cao Zhi followed behind him, Yuan Shao walked to the side of the last carriage, Cao Zhi asked with some doubts: "Sikong, what's wrong??" Yuan Shao looked at the grain bags on the carriage, and then looked at the grain bags on the carriage in front of it, Gao Gan had already run over, came to his side, and asked, "Sikong, what's wrong?" ”
"Are you responsible for these supplies?"
"I'm in charge."
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth, without words, and suddenly pulled out the long sword on his waist, Gao Gan was startled, Yuan Shao raised the long sword and inserted it directly into the grain bag on the last carriage, and suddenly, the thin rice grains slipped out of the gap, Yuan Shao savagely tore open the grain bag, the bag was full of grain, Gao Gan and Cao Zhi were a little confused, what did Sikong want to do? Seeing such a scene, Yuan Shao was also stunned.
He looked down again at the wheels of the two carriages in front and behind.
"This carriage is the same as the one in front, both carrying ten bags of grain, so why, the carriage in front is so heavy, the wheels are a little deformed, but this one, there is no change?" Yuan Shao asked, he stepped forward and stabbed a sword into the grain bag, Gao Gan was about to explain, and was about to speak, when he saw that from the gap in the grain bag, fine grains of sand flowed out... It's all grains of sand ....
Yuan Shao's eyes widened, Cao Zhi, Gao Gan was even more so, Gao Gan opened his mouth wide and shouted: "How is this possible, this I..."
Yuan Shao ignored him, and directly slashed around with his sword, all the grain bags were filled with sand, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and he roared angrily: "Open the grain bags in front of me too!! Suddenly, a groom dismounted and opened the grain bags, and as expected, all the sand grains were inside... Yuan Shao was trembling all over, and his eyes were red with anger, when he looked at Gao Gan.
Gao Gan's knees went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
"It's not me... No, I don't know..."
"Notify all convoys quickly and stop all!! Recover the convoy just now!! Hold them all under control!! Yuan Shao yelled angrily, and the officials behind him immediately began to get busy, he looked at the Gao Gan in front of him, stepped forward, and the Gao Gan fell to the ground with a miserable howl, but he cried aggrievedly, Yuan Shao covered his head, only felt a little tingling, he took a deep breath, and only then did he ease up.
Within the court lieutenant, there were many soldiers.
Man Chong frowned, looking at the sand grains piled up in the front yard, he was also a little uneasy, what kind of person could have such a huge force, and dared to replace all the external subsidized food of the temple with sand, only a few carriages, there was some food, if such materials reached the hands of the Northern and Southern Army, including Cao Cao Xing Ziang, how would they think, this is a big case!!
Man Chong thought in his heart, and looked at the few people in front of him, Yuan Shao sat aside, lowered his head, and didn't say anything, it stands to reason that Man Chong should not doubt him, it was he who saw through the thief's tricks, and it was he who told Tingwei, but Man Chong still couldn't let him go easily, because, among the people present, Yuan Shao was the most powerful and did all this, and the other four people, that is, the leaders of the four carriages.
One person is called Gao Gan, one person is called Yuan Tan, one person is called Yuan Mai, and the last person is called Lu Meng.
Among these people, except for this dazed Lu Meng, the rest of them are close family members of Yuan Shao, that Lu Meng, it is said that he is a student of military science, and he won four crowns in this year's military science assessment, so he let him take the food to the southern army and rushed directly to the southern army to report, among these people, the least suspicious is this Lu Meng, he is an outsider, it is completely impossible to do this, not to mention, he only received an order yesterday to transport grain.
Lu Meng was also at a loss, he didn't know what was going on, he just went to transport supplies according to the order, why was he suddenly brought to Tingwei?? He looked at a few people around him, most of these people had the same expression, only Gao Gan was very frightened, trembling all over, unlucky, unlucky, why can such a thing be encountered by himself, Lu Meng sighed helplessly in his heart.
At this time, Man Chong suddenly asked: "Gentlemen, these materials were issued by the temple and the locality, why did they become grains of sand?" ”
"Someone has changed." Lu Meng said, Man Zhong turned his head sharply, stared at him, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Oh? Someone else changed?? Changed by whom?? ”
"I don't know." Lu Meng said blankly, but Man Chong frowned, Lu Meng's house reminded him of another person, a person he hated very much, a bad person, Man Chong didn't say anything more, walked to Yuan Shao's side, and said: "Sikong, these people, I have to interrogate them personally, I know, there is Sikong Gongzi here, but I am in accordance with the decree, and I hope Sikong Mo will stop it..."
"If I wanted to stop them, I wouldn't have brought them here... Alas, you check...", Yuan Shao said, stood up, and was about to leave, seeing that he was leaving, Yuan Tan and the others were a little frightened, wanting to call him, but they didn't dare to call, Yuan Shao lowered his head, left without saying a word, and walked out of the Tingwei hall, Yuan Shao was a little chilled all over, and Cao Zhi still followed behind him.
"Sikong... These three people are all Sikong's relatives, so I'm afraid that they will find an excuse and say that Sikong reuses his cronies..."
"Huh? Reuse cronies?? I don't need cronies, so who are I going to use?? Do you have to let me find some disobedient people who refuse to obey me, who oppose me everywhere, and can't do anything?? Let them go... Go home and rest!! Yuan Shao said, walking towards the mansion, Cao Zhi looked at him and sighed helplessly.
......
"Open the door!! Embroidered Messenger!! ”
Yuan Shang shouted, the door of the court was opened, and two soldiers walked out of it, looking at Yuan Shang in front of him coldly, since Man Zhong took office as the court captain, most of the soldiers of the court captain also straightened their waists, and there was little fear, Yuan Shang looked at them and said: "Quickly inform Man Jun, just say that Yuan Shang came on the order of the Son of Heaven...", the soldier nodded, and it didn't take long for Man Zhong to walk out.
He was wearing an official uniform and had some blood on his hands.
Wiping the blood on his hands, he frowned and asked, "Yuan Jun??" What did the Son of Heaven say?? ”
Looking at the blood on his hands, Yuan Shang was stunned, gritted his teeth, and said: "Your Majesty's dictation, let you and I go to the Houde Hall together...", full of favorites, said: "Wait a while...", immediately, he went back to tidy up his clothes, and it didn't take long for him to walk out and walk to the palace with Yuan Shang, walking on the road, the two of them were silent, Yuan Shang suddenly asked: "What did Man Jun find?" ”
"Of course, I still have a way to deal with the spoiled family... You can easily know the truth..."Man Chong looked at Yuan Shang, his tone was a little indifferent, and his eyes were the same, Yuan Shang's heart sank, he didn't ask again, frowned, and the two of them rushed to the palace, and immediately the Yellow Gate led them into the Houde Palace, and the Son of Heaven was standing in front of the Han Yutu, with his back to them, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The two bowed to the Son of Heaven.
Liu Xi didn't let them get up quickly as usual.
"It's in Luoyang... Something like this... Do all the kings deceive the young? Liu Xi said, turned around slowly, bowed to Yuan Shang with full favor, and said: "Your Majesty, our sins are also punished, I hope Your Majesty will punish them severely!! ”
Liu Xi looked at the two of them, his gaze lingering on Yuan Shang's body for a moment, before asking, "Say, what happened?" ”
