Yuan Yun slowed down the date of his departure from Luoyang, because he didn't want to be remembered at home after he left, and after hearing from Invincible that there was a female assassin from the south, he decided to deal with the matter before setting off.

Today is the day when the Gunpowder Army sets off, and generals such as Cao Ang, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Jaw will all go out with the army, and even Xu Yi and Xiahou Mao have joined them.

Looking at the powder army that was gradually moving away, Yuan Yun stood on the tower of Luoyang City thoughtfully, after this war, the north will be completely pacified, and then the battle to annihilate Karasuma will occur, and when Karasuma is also finished, Cao Cao will start to think about the southern expedition.

Before that, the Guanzhong region must be stabilized, then the Sun family must be weakened, and at the same time, it will also be necessary to fight the future Shu Han leader Liu Bei, these things will be put on the agenda.

"It looks like it's going to be quite a busy couple of years." Yuan Yun muttered softly, and immediately took the bow and arrow sent by a soldier, and then released it at a distance outside the city, and the arrow immediately pierced the sky, and then, the gate under the city tower was symbolically closed, and the expedition ceremony came to an end here.

With Jia Xu's presiding, the expedition ceremony went smoothly, and Yuan Yun discussed with the current Cao Ang think tank after getting off the city tower in Luoyang, and when he was about to return home, the sun was already in the west.

When the frame was driving on the city road in Luoyang, Invincible appeared.

Invincible had never taken Yuan Yun's identity as a marquis, so after entering the carriage, he just bowed his hand and began to report on the situation of monitoring those southern assassins in the past few days.

Invincible has a good grasp of the other party's whereabouts, the only regret is that the female assassin has left the assassin team, and there is no news, even if Invincible uses the most powerful Green Bamboo team of the beggar gang, it still can't trace any information.

Yuan Yun took a breath with a toothache, it stands to reason that this shouldn't be the case, now Luoyang is all under the control of his own people, from the officials to the common people, all of them work together with the management, so they will definitely not give outsiders a chance to take advantage of, why can this female assassin hide so well?

"It seems that there is her internal response in the city." Yuan Yun muttered, and then looked at Invincible, who was gulping down.

Invincible nodded his head and drained a pot of wine, and then replied: "I also think so, otherwise how could she let her escape, it is impossible for her not to eat or drink, since she wants to eat and drink, she has to come out to act, I have spilled out a large number of beggar gang disciples, but there has never been any news back, and we are very sure that she did not leave after entering the city." ”

Yuan Yun buttoned his chin and asked, "Where in the city was the last time you found this female assassin?" ”

Invincible wiped his mouth with his cuffs, and then replied: "In the vicinity of Dahonglu in the city, after my people followed there, they completely lost the whereabouts of the other party, as if they disappeared out of thin air. ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, Da Honglu was originally to entertain envoys from other countries, and he escaped when Luoyang was burned down by Dong Zhuo's fire, and now he was appointed by Cao Ang as an official post, specially used to receive some guests from other places, and now the people living in it are very mixed, the envoy of Liu Zhang, Wancheng, Cao Hong's subordinate officials, and even the secret envoy of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, even Li Li, who was left by Ma Chao, also lives in it, it is simply a hodgepodge place.

If this female assassin has an internal response, then it should be found from the people inside, if the visitor from the south is visited, it can only involve Liu Zhang, but I think about it and feel wrong, there are three messengers sent by Liu Zhang, and these three people often linger in the Qinglou in the city, and only stayed in the official post for one night, and the official in charge directly cleaned the room and waited for other guests.

The rest of the people in the south are Cao Hong's subordinate officials, but Cao Hong's farming in Wancheng is now counting on him Yuan Yun, let alone assassination, if he finds this sign, he is estimated to be more ruthless than him Yuan Yun.

Zhang Lu's secret envoy is the most likely, but this secret envoy came alone, and Cao Ang also specially explained that the people of the official post could be monitored, if he could still harbor people, then unless he killed or bribed those officials, this is impossible anyway.

Excluding these people, then only Li Li is left in the end, but he is from Xiliang and has no contact with the south, so it is extremely unlikely.

Smiling slightly, Yuan Yun felt that it was useless to think too much about it now, since the female assassin disappeared in Dahonglu, then it must be related to this place, so as long as you keep an eye on it, sooner or later you will find out.

"Invincible, you send some people to keep an eye on the people in Dahonglu, especially Li Li in Xiliang, and the secret envoy sent by Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, whether they are suspicious or not, it is always reassuring to have you watching." After Yuan Yun finished explaining, he handed Invincible a piece of dried meat, because this product had already killed the second pot of wine.

Invincible was chewing jerky, hearing Yuan Yun say this, he immediately hugged his fist, and then he was about to get out of the car, looked at the dark compartment in the carriage, and finally put a new wine jug in his arms, and then walked away.

After the invincible left, Yuan Yun crooked his head and thought for a while, so he said to Xiao Liu, who was driving the car: "Diversion, let's go to Dahonglu to meet Li Li, and see what this thing is still doing in Luoyang?" ”

When he arrived at Dahonglu, where Li Li lived, the sky had basically darkened, looking at the wind lantern hanging at the gate, Yuan Yun took a step, and heard Shi Shen wonder: "Is Xiliang really so poor, but this Li Li has to live here all the time, our restaurant is much more comfortable than here, and it doesn't cost a few dollars, I really don't understand what he is thinking, I have to take a dozen entourages to be aggrieved here." ”

Yuan Yun rolled his eyes angrily, and then said: "Li Li did this on purpose, he chose to live here, just to make a statement, to prove that all his actions are under our sight, and to reassure our hearts, do you really care about that money?" ”

After teaching Shi Shen, he also came to the side of the gate, and the guards guarding the door saw that it was Yuan Yun, and immediately opened the door latch, and after a while, a small official hurriedly ran out, and immediately raised his hands above his head when he arrived in front of him, and then bowed to the ground.

"Okay, I'm not afraid of losing my waist with such a big gift." When Yuan Yun spoke, he had already left the official behind and walked in on his own.

The little official suddenly found himself bowing to the air, and he could only smile awkwardly, and then followed closely.

Only then did Yuan Yun point to the rows of houses and ask, "Which room does Li Li from Xiliang live in?" ”

The official was stunned, and replied with some surprise: "Li Li took the documents from the government yesterday, and now he has moved out of the official post, as if he lives in the drunken gold building, I think it is too narrow here, so I took the entourage over, I heard that they have wrapped the first floor of the drunken gold building, this is a generous shot." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and there was an inexplicable suspicion in his heart, did Li Li feel that there was no need to express his position, he moved to the Drunken Gold Building with such fanfare, and it immediately became interesting.

The purpose of living in the official post is to prove that he Li Li will not do any tricks, everything is generously public, and now that he has moved to Zuijin Building, it can only be explained that this product is planning to do something.

"Interesting."

Yuan Yun muttered a sentence, and then explained to Shi Shen: "Go and inform Invincible, let him keep an eye on Li Li, and he will keep a good watch for the dozen or so people he brought, and there are no women in Li Li's entourage, if you find out, let Invincible come and inform me immediately, and then we will go to the door to arrest people and kick the other party's ass well." ”

After explaining Shi Shen, Yuan Yun turned around, then glared at the little official and said: "Ben Hou has never been here today, if the news leaks, you will wait for Lao Tzu to cut off your head." ”

After speaking, Yuan Yun patted the little official's shoulder again, and continued: "If you can move out of Dahonglu to live, you must sign a notarization, this Li Li can move out in such a short time, you must have received a lot of benefits, right?" ”

The little official fell to his knees with a puff of fright, and then slammed his head on the floor, leaving only a voice begging for mercy.

Yuan Yun frowned, and then said: "You don't care what benefits Ben Hou takes, you are now in the head Ben Hou will help you store it first, and the rest of these people, if you can leave Da Honglu so easily, Ben Hou will take back all the principal and interest with you." ”

When Yuan Yun finally returned to the frame, Xiao Liu immediately suggested: "My lord, just now I should have killed that official, accepted bribes from outsiders, and then made it convenient for them, which is no different from collaborating with the enemy." ”

Yuan Yun comfortably chose a posture, and then smiled at Xiao Liu, who was in the car position: "Officials in places like Da Honglu should be flexible people, these people's brains must turn fast, but often they will turn too fast, so they need to give them a dismount, but they can't be killed directly, this kind of person must exist, just a flexible one is very necessary for diplomacy, so the little official just now can't be killed, he still has a lot of use." ”

Xiaoliu didn't seem to understand it, but he was very unhappy in his heart, now there is corruption in the court, so Cao Sikong will vigorously rectify it, and now after killing a group of people, it has also made the court have a new atmosphere, and now Yuan Yun seems to be conniving, which is naturally unacceptable.

Looking at Xiao Liu's indignation, Yuan Yun knew that Xiao Liu didn't understand what he said just now, everyone hated corruption to the bone, and he Yuan Yun hated it even more, in order to apply for some R&D funds in the last life, I don't know how much I had to deal with those superior leaders, and finally the funds came down, but at the same time, it was also less than eighty percent, as for where the eighty percent went, I didn't ask at the time, and it was useless to ask.

But even so, the remaining 20% of the funds are enough for research and development, and after this experience, Yuan Yun's R&D funds have never been difficult, every time as long as the application documents go up, the money will arrive immediately, as for how much it has been reduced layer by layer in the end, no one cares, because R&D has been fully funded, and this kind of corruption has become an alternative stimulation of production, and now the chip in his brain is like this.

Corruption is definitely not a good thing, but if corrupt officials can do things, then the absolute efficiency will be much higher, now what Luoyang lacks is really not funds, but time, if everyone's efficiency can be increased several times, Yuan Yun feels that he can endure corruption, the big deal is to rectify it at the end, anyway, the means of rectifying corruption in this era are also simple and rude, and there is no need to bother at all.

Leaving Da Honglu, Xiao Liu asked, "Lord, are we going to the Drunken Golden Mansion now?" ”

Yuan Yun shrugged his shoulders and said, "When I go to the Qinglou, I feel a pain in my butt, don't go!" Go back and send a post to Li Li, asking him to come to the house tomorrow to see me, I want to see what kind of moth this former tough guy can perform. ”
