The news that the Yamen of Shui Heng Duwei was raided by Zhijin Wu spread, and immediately plunged the entire Chang'an into silence and silence.

Many people were trembling and couldn't sleep all night.

In response, on the same day, prices in the nine cities of Chang'an immediately rose.

The price of rice has doubled in one day, and the price of oil, salt and charcoal has tripled!

The whole of Chang'an has fallen into the wave of material rush.

There is no way, if something happens to Captain Shui Heng, I am afraid that Chang'an City will usher in a period of closure.

The Son of Heaven will take a large number of troops throughout the city to arrest relevant criminals.

At that time, even if you have money, you can't buy anything.

However, it was Jiang Chong who was most frightened and frightened.

He walked anxiously in his mansion, and deep down, he was as panicked as when he fled from Zhao State.

Even, even more frightened than when he fled Handan.

Zhi Jinwu raided the captain of the water balance?

Jiang Chong knew very well what this meant.

This means that Zhi Jingo has officially stabbed him.

This is just the beginning, in the cleaning of the perimeter, soon, the cavalry of the holding Jingo will go straight to the crux and core of the problem - he!

It won't be too long.

Maybe even tomorrow morning, when he comes together, he will have to face the soldiers and horses of the holding Jingo.

Those people will not show any affection for him or talk about any face.

He must find a way to save himself before the soldiers who are holding Jingo go get to the door.

What to do?

Jiang Chong clenched his fists and walked up and down the corridor.

He knew that Zhi Jinwu would get something from the mouths of the Shui Heng Duwei Yamen and his old subordinates?

Once those things fall into the hands of Zhijingo, what kind of terrible hurricane will they create?

"No way!" Jiang Chong said: "I can't sit still! ”

"I'm going to face the saint right away!" He raised his head and looked at the Ganquan Palace in the north.

The only one who can save him is the Son of Heaven!

But......

He had just taken two steps, but he stopped in despair.

Obviously, he knew that the Son of Heaven would not save him.

He was in the hands of this majesty last time, and he escaped death, and the love he once had was almost exhausted in the noble hands of that time.

It is almost impossible to let this majesty remember the old love and let him go.

"I can only go to Su Wen and Han to talk ......," Jiang Chong said through gritted teeth.

Only these two old friends can come out and pull him along.

It's just that he looked out the door, and he knew that Wang Mang's eyeliner must be at the door now, waiting for him to go out.

Then, he dug up all the people he went to see.

This is also the consistent style of Ji Jingo.

However, if he didn't go to see Su Wen and Han Shuo, he would definitely die.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chong stomped his feet, and couldn't care about it so much.

For him, do you want him to die on his own, so as to save his past friends?

It's impossible!

………………………………

"Han Gong ......"

In the flickering candlelight, a figure whispered in the darkness: "That Jiang Chong can't stay any longer!" ”

"Keep him, and we will all be implicated......"

Han Shuo lowered his head and remained silent.

Jiang Chong?

He was reluctant to die.

Because......

That's his favorite lover!

But......

Now, Zhi Jinwu is searching the Yamen of Shui Heng Duwei, in case something is found out by Zhi Jinwu?

Then he may be implicated, and then his friends behind him will be dug out like a dragon.

After thinking about it, Han Shuo finally spoke, and said: "Jiang Ciqian [Jiang Chong Zi Ciqian], it's still useful......

"But he is now being targeted by the Governor of the Mountains......" The shadow in the shadows whispered, "And, as far as I know, the Commanders of the Commanders of the Governors of the Scales are now checking the Skill Department of the Captain of the Water Balance......"

"If they find out about that......" The man glared and clasped his hands around his waist: "You and I, and many others, will die without a place to be buried!" ”

"Han Gong should know the severity of this matter......

Han Shuo pinched a jade artifact in his hand, his eyes burned, he looked at the man, and sighed: "I said a long time ago that you should not touch that thing, but you don't listen......

"It's okay now......"

"Even if Jiang Ciqian dies, I'm afraid, there will be many, many people buried with him......"

He said meaningfully: "Including my sisters of the same birth, and many of my friends......"

The stakes are too great.

The death of one Jiang Chong, or even the death of ten Jiang Chong, is difficult to cover up.

Unless, all the participants are killed.

Otherwise, the dog's nose of Zhi Jinwu will definitely be able to follow the smell and traces to find himself and many, many people.

When the man heard this, he lowered his head and sighed: "Damn it, you will die eventually, and it is better to die to die to others than to die yourself......"

"Now, Han Gong should make a decision immediately......" The man said in a low voice: "If it's too late, I'm afraid it's too late!" ”

Han Shuo looked at the man with a serious expression, he knew very well that if he didn't agree, then he might end up with the same fate as Jiang Chong.

This man and his friends are the best at playing the trick of killing mouths.

At the beginning, Gongsun Ao, the general of Yinxuan, was killed by them.

After thinking for a long time, Han said and looked at the man: "Since Jiang Ciqian is going to die, why not waste it?" ”

"Huh?"

"My two friends, Ma Jia Kunzhong, were demoted and reprimanded because of that Zhang Zizhong, and even lost their palace registration......" Han said and looked at the other party: "Jiang Ciqian also has a grudge against that Zhang Zizhong, it's better to let Jiang Ciqian go to ......"

Han said he made a throat-slitting gesture around his neck.

"In this way, we can not only get rid of our enemies, but also understand this matter logically......"

The other party thought about it, nodded, and approved Han Shuo's plan.

That Zhang Zizhong can't stay anymore.

If he lives, he will be a serious threat to everyone.

……………………………………

Shui Heng Du Wei Yamen.

Founded in the second year of the Yuan and Ding dynasties, initially, its official residence was in the north of Shangguanli Avenue and existed as a subsidiary of the Dasi Nong Yamen.

The first lieutenant of Shui Heng was the famous and famous Yang Ke.

In the beginning, in fact, the purpose of setting up the Captain of the Water Balance was to take over the official policy of salt and iron that was in the ascendant at that time.

But man is not as good as heaven.

The first generation of Shui Heng Du Lieutenant Yang Ke is really powerful.

The campaign he launched to denounce him was really terrible.

However, in just a few years, the cloth, money, grain, land and gold confiscated and confiscated by Captain Shui Heng were already too large for any official warehouse to hold.

Therefore, the Son of Heaven set aside a site in Shanglin Yuan, which was specially used as a storage place for the funds obtained from the calculation and prosecution.

When Yang Ke died, the campaign stopped.

Lieutenant Shui Heng was stunned to find that the official policy of salt and iron, which was originally under his own supervision and responsibility, had completely fallen into the hands of Sang Hongyang and his bureaucratic system.

Captain Shui Heng didn't even have room to meddle if he took it back.

Now, the leading brother Yang Ke is dead again, let alone fighting with Sang Hongyang for power, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to be someone's opponent.

It just so happened that at that time, the Son of Heaven felt that the Shaofu was in charge of things, especially the money in charge.

is also thinking about weakening the authority of the Shaofu Secretary and the Shaofu.

So, he simply separated Shanglin Yuan from Shaofu and handed it over to Shui Heng Du Wei to manage.

Since then, the three hundred miles of the Royal Forest Garden have become the jurisdiction of the Captain of Shui Heng.

And the Lieutenant of Shui Heng, in addition to governing Shanglin Yuan and the people in the garden, his biggest duty is to be responsible for coinage.

Almost all the official minted five-baht coins in the world were minted from the technical department of the Shui Heng Du Wei Yamen in Shanglin Yuan.

In the past, the Agency has been a closed, independent, and strictly secrecy independent kingdom.

Outsiders can't even get close to it, let alone snooping.

Even the prime minister and the imperial doctor didn't know what was going on here.

Only the lieutenants of the inner court and a small number of scholars and servants who came to inspect here were able to enter and approach this place.

Now, however, the top-secret workshop of the pre-CE central bank has been taken over by the Jingo rulers, inside and outside.

Hundreds of officials and thousands of craftsmen have been quarantined.

Wang Mang stepped on riding boots and walked into the workshop where money was made and coins minted.

Wei Buxian, the lieutenant of the middle base, immediately led his troops to meet him and said: "Duke Ming, the last general has been ordered to check all the technical documents, archives and money models minted in the past, and found that thousands of money fans are missing, and at least hundreds of thousands of catties of copper materials have disappeared......

Wei Buxian licked his lips and said excitedly: "This is a shocking case!" ”

Captain Shui Heng is in charge of Lin Yuan and coinage.

This is the most important task of the Technical Department, which is responsible for minting money for the country.

But now, not only thousands of Qian Fan disappeared out of thin air, but also hundreds of thousands of catties of copper materials, which only exist on the text.

This matter has already pierced the sky!

As long as it is reported to the king, it is a big case.

Wang Mang listened, frowned slightly, and asked, "Other than that, are there any other discoveries?" ”

The disappearance of Qian Fan and Tong Liu was already known when Wang Mang decided to search and ordered the arrest of the main officials of Shui Heng Duwei.

I just didn't expect that I would lose so much.

Of course, Wang Mang understands that these money and copper materials may not have been swallowed by Jiang Chong alone.

I'm afraid that the Minister of Chang'an, everyone has a share.

If you really want to investigate it carefully, even the palace may not be clean.

There is no way, digging up the foot of the country's wall and damaging the public and private affairs has been a common practice since Emperor Gao, both inside and outside the court.

Since the Han Dynasty, only three prime ministers have not been corrupt or bribed.

One is the old Anhou Shen Tujia, the other is the Tiao Hou Zhou Yafu, and the other is the Pingjin Hougong Sun Hong of this dynasty.

Others, even if it is Xiao He Cao Shen, Wang Ling Zhang Cang, which one is clean under the buttocks?

This Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs are even more inaccessible and intestimonial.

Wang Mang even knew that the lieutenant in front of him really had to be seriously investigated, for fear that he was a big corrupt official.

Under such an atmosphere, the Shaofu, the Governor of Shuiheng, and the Dasi Nong, who are in charge of the country's resources and income, have long been full of sieves up and down.

Those emperors, servants, scholars, ministers, and liehous, who has not stretched out their hands to these three yamen?

Even Zhang Zizhong, the newly appointed servant of Xinfeng, began to dig up the foot of the national wall before his ass was hot in his position.

The 1,500 head of livestock of the Taifu Yamen, with nearly 100 herdsmen and veterinarians, with a total value of more than 20 or 30 million yuan in state assets, were taken away by this new servant with a single official document.

Inside and outside Chang'an, up and down the court, who doesn't know that these livestock, herdsmen, and veterinarians will change their appearance and become Zhang's industry in less than a year and a half?

It's just that everyone is pretending to be confused, pretending not to see.

Therefore, Wang Mang was not surprised at all by Wei Buxian's report.

He understands very well that these things can't be put on the table at all.

The Son of Heaven may be angry at first, but soon he will forget about it.

"Anything else you've discovered?" Wang Mang asked.

"Yes!" Wei Buxian thought for a while and reported: "From the documents of the Technical Department, the last general found that there are many money fans and copper materials, and the person who handled them was a person named 'Li Shou'......"

"Li Shou?!" A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Mang's mouth to catch the prey, and the muscles on his face trembled excitedly: "Torture this official carefully, all the officials involved in the case, be sure to ask clearly, who is this 'Li Shou'?" ”

But in his heart, Wang Mang already knows it.

The uncle of Liu Ji, the king of Changyi, and the younger brother of Li Guangli in Haixi, is called Li Shou.

That's the real big fish he wants.

An anti-Han and anti-Liu group, how can there not be a big man who can hold the stage?

"Ming Mansion ......" At this time, an official hurriedly came and whispered a few words in Wang Mang's ear.

Wang Mang listened, the smile on his face became brighter, and he ordered: "You must keep an eye on it, if there is a mistake, and you lose someone, I will ask!" ”

"No!"

…………………………………………

Jiang Chong rode in a carriage, under the banner of 'Zhizhi Embroidered Messenger', went out of the house, and went straight to the south of the city.

Behind him, there are several horses, faintly following each other.

But he sat in the car like a puppet, motionless.

The carriage, on Shangguanli Avenue, winds east and west, passes through Qili, passes into Song Street, enters Chang'an East City from Xiyin Street, and then re-enters Song Street.

It was only then that the people behind the carriage noticed something unusual, their expressions changed greatly, and they immediately slapped their horses forward, stopped the carriage with the 'Straight Embroidered Messenger', and lifted the curtain of the carriage.

The crowd was shocked.

Sitting in the car, where is Jiang Chong?

It is clearly a man whose body size, age, and appearance are not much different from Jiang Quan.

"What about the Jiang envoy?" A man asked sharply, "Who gave you the courage to pretend to be the messenger of the Son of Heaven?" ”

The man panicked and immediately bowed: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the ...... that my master ordered me to wear his clothes and travel in his carriage."

Everyone suddenly fell into an ice cave.

Jiang Chong lost it?!

Zhijingo's face will be disgraced by them.

They could even imagine how violent the anger of King Mang himself would be.

"Immediately mobilize the soldiers and horses of the arsenal, and search and track down the whole city!" An official shouted.

If you let the target run away, you may even run away.

The board on top came down, and no one could run away.

Not to mention, the big guy spent countless efforts for this case.
