Li Zicheng's heart moved, but he still pretended to smile, "Shijun said let's listen, what's wrong!" ”

"According to the Fu Ding of the Liu Mansion, there are often unknown people in the Liu Mansion, and the subordinates are very suspicious," Guo Shijun said: "Since there is a problem in the Liu Mansion, why are they so public, don't they force us to investigate?" ”

Li Zicheng also felt very suspicious, if there is someone behind Liufu, he should be extra careful, at most he can only follow the trend behind others, and he is not visible, why is it so public?

If there is no force behind it, why sell paper money? This is clearly against the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, and since the Liu family is a big businessman in Lanzhou Mansion, he won't even know this bit of common sense, right?

"Governor, what are we going to do? Do you want to suppress food prices? Guo Shijun is ready to use the way of a merchant to deal with Liu.

"Why bother?" Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said, "We are not businessmen, now is the era of swordsmen, don't you know if you go directly to Liu's Mansion?" ”

"The Grand Duke, in case we make a mistake......

"What does it matter if it's wrong? Who makes Liu so suspicious? If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse......" Li Zicheng said: "Even if it is just a simple price increase, it is a violation of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Decree, maybe the Liu family is waiting for me to ......"

"The Governor ......"

Li Zicheng smiled, "I'm not sure, if Liu didn't want to tell me anything, his behavior would be too unbelievable." ”

"My subordinates understand," Guo Shijun arched his hand and said, "Governor, then let's go to Liu's Mansion tonight?" ”

"No, go now," Li Zicheng turned around and said: "Xiaomi, immediately mobilize a hundred soldiers to surround the Liu Mansion, no one is allowed to enter or exit, otherwise, it will be killed, in addition, close the city gates on all sides, only allow entry and not exit!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" Although He Xiaomi didn't understand a little, he could only pass the order.

Guo Shijun whispered: "The Metropolitan Governor ......"

"Shijun, not only do we have to go during the day, but we also have to make the movement bigger, the bigger the better," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Didn't the Liu family let us arrest him?" I got his wish! ”

Guo Shijun suddenly realized and said, "The Metropolitan Governor is saying that the Liu family deliberately made such a big move, just to let us arrest him?" ”

"Whether that's what he means or not, that's how I understand it," Li Zicheng got up from his seat and said, "Shijun, let's go, let's go to Liu's Mansion to have a look!" ”

"Go and see, see what the hell Liu Xing is doing!" Guo Shijun hurriedly got up and tailed behind Li Zicheng.

When Li Zicheng and Guo Shijun came to Liu's mansion, they heard a ghost crying wolf howling from a distance, the door of the mansion was wide open, and four soldiers, with their faces facing inward, loaded with guns and ammunition, put their fingers on the trigger, as if they were going to pull the trigger at any time.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the soldier turned around and saw that it was Li Zicheng, so he hurriedly bowed, "Knock on the Grand Duke!" ”

"No need to be polite, you are on duty, military affairs are important," Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said, "How about it, the brothers are all in!" ”

The leading soldier got up and replied: "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, the brothers have already gone in, and none of the people from the Liu Mansion have come out!" ”

"Okay, good," Li Zicheng said in a row, "continue to keep a close watch, and don't let go of a fly." ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" The soldier bowed to Li Zicheng and said, "There are our people on all sides of the Liu Mansion, none of them can escape, dare the Heavenly Mandate Army to do the right thing, there is absolutely no good end......

Li Zicheng and Guo Shijun entered Liu's Mansion side by side, and as soon as they entered the hall, they saw that the soldiers had escorted more than a dozen people, but fortunately, the people in Liu's Mansion did not resist, and the scene was not bloody.

Guo Shijun approached Li Zicheng and pointed to a gray-clothed man who was about fifty years old: "He is Liu Xing, the proprietor of the Liu family!" ”

Li Zicheng took two steps, approached Liu Xing, looked at it, and said, "You are Liu Xing?" ”

Liu Xing also looked at Li Zicheng, but for a short moment, he said, "Your Excellency is Li Zicheng, the Grand Governor of the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

"Dare to call our Governor by his name, palm!" A Providence soldier rushed over and was about to roll up his sleeves and palm.

"Wait!" Li Zicheng waved his hand to stop it, he suddenly felt that Liu Xing seemed to have something to say, although he didn't say anything, he blinked his eyes, and he didn't feel suspicious in his heart, could it be that Liu Xing couldn't help himself?

Guo Shijun also felt that Liu Xing's expression was different, so he said tentatively: "Liu Xing, why do you go against the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion?" ”

The corners of Liu Xing's mouth moved, but he didn't speak, just looked at Li Zicheng blankly.

Li Zicheng said: "Take Liu Xing away, a cadre of the Liu Mansion and others, temporarily detain, no one is missing!" ”

He Xiaomi personally took two personal soldiers to tie up Liu Xing, escorted him back to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and sent him to Li Zicheng's study.

There were only three people left in the study, and Guo Shijun said, "Liu Xing, can you talk about it now?" This is the Mandate of Heaven's Governor's Mansion, and not a single mosquito can fly in! ”

Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, suddenly fell to his knees on the ground, nodded his head to the ground, and cried: "Governor, Lord Guo, save the grass people!" ”

"Save?" Li Zicheng frowned and said, "Could it be that there is something unspeakable about Lord Liu?" ”

Liu Xing prostrate on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and said with tears in his eyes: "Ask for the punishment of the capital!" ”

Guo Shijun said in his heart: Sure enough, there are ghosts! glanced at Li Zicheng, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Zicheng said indifferently: "Since proprietor Liu is secretly making trouble and going against the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, the punishment is inevitable, let's see how much truth you tell first," paused, and then said: "Get up and talk!" ”

"The sinners have no shame to see the Grand Governor!" Behind Liu Xingxing, he stood in front of Li Zicheng, just opposite Guo Shijun, "the ...... of the criminals"

"Don't worry, Don't worry, speak slowly!" Li Zicheng picked up the lid of the cup, shook off the tea foam, and said lightly: "Today, the governor of Pontus has time, so you can start from the beginning!" ”

"Yes, the Metropolitan Governor," Liu Xing arched his hand to Li Zicheng, and said: "The ancestors of the grass people have accumulated virtue, saved some silver, and have been doing business in Lanzhou, but Lanzhou was first attacked by thieves, and then there were troubles, and the grass people had to retreat at home until the Metropolitan Governor came to Lanzhou......"

Guo Shijun said: "In this way, we should be grateful to the Mandate of Heaven Army, although the Mandate of Heaven Army came to Lanzhou, although it redistributed the land, but for the property of the merchants, it was not taken at all, and encouraged the people to engage in industry and commerce, which should be suitable for the development of the Liu family!" ”

"Lord Guo is right, the grass people are also deeply grateful to the Heavenly Mandate Army on weekdays," Guo Shijun lowered his eyelids and said: "A year and a half ago, three uninvited guests suddenly came to the grass people's mansion, and the grass people didn't want to see each other, but they pretended to be people from the Heavenly Mandate Governor's Mansion...... Unexpectedly, after they entered the mansion, they took the grandson of the grass people hostage......"

"......" Li Zicheng and Guo Shijun looked at each other, but they didn't expect such a show.

"The Metropolitan Governor, Lord Guo, the Liu family is originally thin, the grass people only have an only son, and the grandson is also a single seedling...... Liu Xing couldn't cry again, "They caught the life of the grass people# root......"

Li Zicheng somewhat understood, "They kidnapped your grandson, but forced you to do something unfavorable to the Heavenly Mandate Army?" Is it spying on information, or is it sabotage? ”

"Not really," Liu Xing shook his head, "These days, they have not coerced the grass people to do things, they are just hiding in the Liu Mansion, and the grandchildren of the grass people have been in their hostage......"

Li Zicheng is a little strange, if it is a spy of the imperial court, he should hide in an unknown place, the thatched huts outside the city, the settlement of displaced people, etc., is it "hidden in the court"?

You blatantly stay in Liu's Mansion like this, and you also hold someone else's only grandson hostage, and the two sides have serious antagonism, which is equivalent to planting a bomb next to you.

Once Liu Xing's grandson is out of control, the two sides are likely to fight, and it is not impossible for Liu Xing to fall to the Heavenly Mandate Army.

He stared at Liu Xing's eyes and said, "What about this time?" Liu's selling of banknotes and raising prices without authorization were instructed by them? ”

Liu Xing suddenly cried with a sad face, "It's really their persecution, and the grass people can't do it, so ...... Therefore, every time the grass people go to exchange money, they deliberately bring a large face value......"

Li Zicheng said lightly: "In this way, you deliberately warned Huaxia Bank?" ”

"Dadu Governor Mingjian," Liu Xing wiped away his tears and said, "The grass people think that ordinary people will not have too much paper money, and this move will definitely arouse suspicion...... The grass people also hope that the Mandate of Heaven Army will rescue the grass people from the sea of suffering as soon as possible......"

This is a test of Huaxia Bank, if the bank can't see these suspicious points, Liu Xing will never take the initiative to warn, for this point, even if Liu Xing's words are true, he will be punished, Li Zicheng said leisurely: "However, Liu Mansion has a lot of people, why didn't Liu Dongzhu ask the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion for help earlier?" ”

"Those people are fierce gods...... They are outlaws again, and the grass people are being blackmailed by them...... The grass people once sent people to follow them, but they only saw the corpses in the rocky hills......"

Li Zicheng knew that Liu Xing still valued his grandson's life too seriously, the tradition of the Han people passing on the family was too strong, and the Liu family was the only grandson, so Liu Xing did not dare to take a little risk.

Li Zicheng said: "This time the Heavenly Mandate Army raided Liu's Mansion, were these three captured?" Do they still have a party membership? ”

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, the grass people estimate that Liu Ji has an abnormality this time, and Huaxia Bank will definitely notice it, so the grass people ...... The grass people have been using words to keep them and let them stay in the mansion," Liu Xing wiped away the undried tears and continued: "This time the Heavenly Mandate Army suddenly surrounded the Liu Mansion, and the three were captured, as for whether there are any other comrades, the grass people really don't know!" ”

Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Who are they?" What is the purpose of coming to Lanzhou? ”

"They have always been very hidden, that is, they go out of the house, and they also go out in turns, and the grass people can only judge from the words that they are members of the imperial court, as for the purpose of their coming to Lanzhou, the grass people committee really doesn't know ......."

Li Zicheng frowned, he had already judged that these people were people from the imperial court.

If they are Hong Chengchou's people, it's nothing, the hostile sides send people to each other to inquire about each other's information, which is a normal thing in itself, isn't the Han Qing Bureau of the Heavenly Mandate Army also active in the territory of the imperial court?

Of course, if they are from the imperial court, it will be a little troublesome, whether they find out the confidential information or not, at least they have a certain understanding of the current situation of the Heavenly Mandate Army, which already has a general strength, and if it arouses the vigilance of the imperial court, I am afraid they will have to prepare early.
