Chapter 67: Gong Cao who became a prisoner
Bearing the responsibility for the fire in the county warehouse, there will also be serious punishments, but compared with the consequences of him being caught stealing and selling grain in the county warehouse, Liu Yu can see it very clearly.
"Liu Yu's plan is already perfect, but it has still been found flawed."
This is because after hearing the news of Shunyang's crown, Liu Yu mishandled it at that time, and he used a very clumsy strategy to keep Li Cheng in Sheduyi. At that time, he wanted to replenish the grain in the county warehouse and keep his position in Shunyang. But as a result, the loophole in the county warehouse was not blocked, and a big flaw was left. ”
"This flaw is the loss of Di Xin, which is a very important thing. Shunyang County will definitely investigate to the end. And Li Zhixiong, the director of the Baike Pavilion who was directly under investigation, is not a quick and wise talent, he is a reckless man. ”
"Shunyang thief Cao took people to the Baike Pavilion. Sun Zhixiong thought that the matter had been leaked and fled in a hurry. Fortunately, he didn't forget to send the news back to Shunyang. When Liu Yu learned of this situation, he decided to start in advance, and they set fires everywhere in the city according to the plan. Liu Yu and his subordinates also escaped smoothly. ”
"You know where they went?" Zheng Sheng asked.
Huang Chongru shook his head, "Although we are in a cooperative relationship, Liu Yu's side does not trust the people in Nanyang. I don't know where Liu Yu's retreat is. ”
Zheng Sheng nodded, "The delay of Li Cheng's return to Shunyang is Liu Yu's time to fight for the grain in the county warehouse. Then why did Huang Juan go to Qingzhuling and spread rumors? ”
Huang Chongru was silent for a while before he said in a low voice, "When Cousin Luo learned about Liu Yu's plan, it happened that Shi Man, the son of the Shi family, also arrived in Nanyang. He thought of taking advantage of the gap between Shunyang and not getting the correct information for the time being, to do something. ”
Zheng Sheng nodded, it turned out that he and Qiu Fuzi were wrong, and Di Xin's failure was not a plan for him.
But Zheng Meng was very clever to take advantage of this incident and found a good opportunity to deal with him. Zheng Ming's timing was very good, and the timing was also very good. On the first day, the villagers made trouble, and the second day was Shiman who came to the door to blackmail.
If Zheng Sheng hadn't gotten the correct information from Zheng Wen with the help of carrier pigeons, and if it weren't for Shi Man, an accomplice, who was really not very qualified, Zheng Sheng wouldn't have dared to imagine what direction things would have developed next.
"How long have you been in Shunyang? You're right under my nose, but I haven't noticed. Zheng Sheng continued to ask.
"The year before last, the year before last, I went to Shunyang. I'm in charge of liaising with Shunyang Survival Road. "Huang Chongru said.
No wonder he knows a lot, Zheng Sheng thought, Liu Yu doesn't trust Zheng Yu, and Zheng Yu probably won't trust Liu Yu. Liu Yu's matter, Huang Chongru knew it so clearly, probably from a secret channel.
"It was a really lively yesterday." Zheng Sheng smiled, "You have a good timing, Liu Yu wants to run, so you will take advantage of the chaos in Shunyang to assassinate me." ”
"As early as the day before yesterday, when you first arrived in Shunyang, I was planning. Last night's chaos was just a coincidence. Huang Chongru explained.
Zheng Sheng nodded, "I'll send someone to inform my eldest brother, you can stay well." ”
Zheng Sheng turned to leave.
Zheng Sheng told Ren Ju: "Take good care of him." If someone from the Shunyang County Government came to ask about my assassination. You tell them that the thief ran away and didn't catch it. ”
Ren Zhi complied.
Zheng Sheng let out a sigh of relief.
After this conversation, he learned a lot of things.
Liu Yu, the head snake of Shunyang, has really done a lot of things! Steal and sell county grain and burn down the granary! Although it is all illegal trading, this guy came from poverty, and he can be regarded as a strong party if he can do this.
Zheng Sheng thought of Liu Yang's 30,000-yuan banquet, and couldn't help but feel that his son was also quite a cheat!
However, Zheng Sheng felt that it was impossible for Liu Yu not to know about his son's banquet to Shiliang, and it was Liu Yu who asked his son to befriend Shiliang?
Yesterday morning, there was no incident at the Baike Pavilion. Then, it should be that Liu Yu has made up his mind to get out of Shunyang, and he asked his son to make friends with relatives from Luoyang, not necessarily with the idea of making a comeback!
Back in front, Zheng Sheng found that Shi Liang hadn't left yet. A group of scholars were gathering together and whispering.
Shi Liang saw Zheng Sheng, walked over, and asked, "Zheng Shizi, do you know where Liu Yang and Liu Zihui went?" Last night, he left in a hurry because of an urgent matter at home. It has been nowhere to be seen today. What happened to Liu Yang's family? ”
Zheng Sheng smiled, how is he going to answer this? He came to tell Shi Liang that Liu Yang was not a good person, and his father was a big thief? His identity doesn't seem to be appropriate, right?
"I don't know!" Zheng Sheng had to pretend to be confused.
At this time, Wang Xiang walked in from outside the gate, saw Zheng Sheng, and said urgently: "Little brother Sheng, you are here!" Great, good thing you're okay. How did our building get burned to ashes? What the hell is going on? ”
Wang Xiang didn't go home last night, and left Qingmeiju early today and went back to Zui Xiangju. Wang Xiang is not stupid, he can see that Shi Liang and Zheng Sheng are not dealing with each other at the Qing Conference.
Originally, Shi Liang invited him to the banquet, but Wang Xiang didn't want to go. But when I think of Shiliang's meal, it is worth thousands of dollars. Wang Xiang felt that he couldn't skip eating this meal, eating him, drinking him, and spending him thousands of dollars was also a pleasure.
However, Wang Xiang felt that his cousin might be angry, because he participated in the banquet of the "enemy" and had a lot of fun, but he didn't return all night. Therefore, after Wang Xiang came to his senses, he hurried back to Zuixiangju.
He froze for a long time in front of the ashes, then walked around a few times to make sure that this was the location of the drunken incense residence.
Then, holding back his tears, he began to look for people, looking for Zheng Sheng, looking for Liu Wei'er, looking for the living, looking for their corpses. Until the people around him informed him that the Zheng family had left. Wang Xiangcai breathed a sigh of relief, he almost thought that Zheng Sheng was also burned to death.
Then he ran to the county office to inquire about it. At this time, Zheng Sheng had already left the county office. Fortunately, after he reported his identity, the people from the county government received him and informed him that Zheng Sheng was fine, and now Zheng Sheng was in Qingmeiju.
Then, Wang Xiang ran back to Qing Meiju. Zheng Sheng and Shi Liang were talking "cordially". Wang Xiang suddenly felt that he might not have woken up yet.
Zheng Sheng gave Wang Xiang a rough explanation of the matter of Drunken Xiangju.
Then, Shi Liang, who was full of righteousness, decided to go to the Shunyang County Government to question the matter. Zheng Sheng thought that there might not be a clear understanding of Liu Yu's positioning now. In the past, the Shunyang County Government will undoubtedly be more chaotic.
Zheng Sheng easily persuaded Shi Liang not to go to the county office.
Shi Liang looked at the sky and decided not to leave today, he wanted to continue to talk to everyone. Zheng Sheng was warmly invited by Shi Liang.
Zheng Sheng refused, just kidding, he finally had some free time, if he didn't rest for a while, would he do this kind of brain-consuming thing again?
Zheng Sheng went back to the room to rest, and in the afternoon, he went to Liu Yan'er's room to see her situation.
In the evening, Ren Ju came in and told him a good news: "Shizi, Liu Yu has caught it." ”
Zheng Sheng was surprised, "Caught Liu Yu in less than a day?" Superintendent Fang is very reliable! "It seems that the combat effectiveness of Shunyang's survival path is not good!
Ren continued: "More than a dozen people, including Liu Yu, Li Cheng, and Gao Chen, were all arrested. However, Liu Yang and other relatives of Liu Yu were not caught. ”
Zheng Sheng thought about it, and felt that Liu Yu and they should have fled separately, Fang Qi caught one way, and ran away the other.
"Liu Yu has caught it, let's see the final result!" Zheng Shengdao.
The next day, Shi Liang, who could no longer sit still, acted, and he ran to Liu's mansion. He wanted to know what Liu Yang was doing, he was a guest, the host had disappeared for two days, and he was so happy as a guest!
Then, he saw that Liu's Mansion had been guarded by the soldiers of Shunyang County. went to the county office again, and Shi Liang knew that Liu Yang's father had committed a crime and had been arrested! And his friend Liu Yang is still on the run!
Shi Liang returned to Qing Meiju blankly, and then he packed his bags, and left Shunyang on foot without even taking the ox cart that Liu Yang gave him.
Luo Yu and the other scholars also left with Shi Liang.
Without these scholars, Qing Meiju was completely clean. However, it is unlikely that it will reopen here.
The news that Liu Yu, the Gongcao of Shunyang County, stole and sold the county grain, absconded, and had been arrested spread in Shunyang City.
Just when Liu Yu stole and sold the county grain, killed people and set fire to Shunyang City, competed with Zheng's restaurant Zuixiangju, and set fire to Zuixiangju, Zheng Sheng was invited to the county government by Guo Yi again.
This time he didn't see Zhao Lian, and Guo Yi said that Lord Zhao was sick again.
Zheng Sheng looked at him with a miserable face, and couldn't help but wonder: "Lord Guo, Liu Yu has been arrested, why do you still have a sad face?" And Lord Zhao, why did you get sick again? ”
Guo Yi smiled helplessly and said, "Zheng Shizi, Liu Yu has already pleaded guilty to the law, but ...... Alas! ”
Through Guo Yi's explanation, Zheng Sheng understood what was going on.
It turned out that Liu Yufufa did not solve the big problems faced by Shunyang County.
Liu Yu had already planned to run away and get out, so he was naturally arranging the transfer of property, and Liu Yu sold all his granges and land in Shunyang at a low price in more than half a month. Although they ran in a hurry this time, Liu Yu and the others that Fang Qi captured did not carry much property. Guo Yi estimated that the biggest possibility was that the relatives of Liu Yu and others took away a large amount of money.
"Now, Liu Yu's remaining assets in Shunyang have been converted into money and grain, and the Shunyang County Warehouse is still short of nearly 8,000 stone of grain." Guo Yi sighed and said mournfully.
"Eight thousand stones!" Zheng Sheng almost knew the purpose of Guo Yi looking for him in his heart.
Fang Qi will continue to track the whereabouts of Liu Yang and others. But the current situation is that Shunyang County is short of grain, 8,000 stones, and it is also necessary to repair the burned houses everywhere. Shunyang County Government really can't afford it! ”
"Liu Yu stole the grain, the county has already arrested him, and it is enough to report to the court to convict him, and the Shunyang County Government has to make up for the grain, isn't this responsible for Liu Yu?" Zheng Sheng said strangely.
Guo Yi said miserably: "Although this matter is Liu Yu's sin, but the lost grain cannot be replenished, Zhao Taishou is indispensable to the charge of lax royal majesty, and it is unlikely that he wants to move a term of Taishou." And I, the family is in Shunyang, if something like this happens, how will the king of Shunyang think of my Guo family? Therefore, after making up the county food, we will not have too much punishment! ”
