705 Fueling the fire
The flying cloud rat immediately ran out, and in less than half an hour, he rushed to report, Liu Liang was nowhere to be found, no clothes were left, and all the Gu worms were gone.
After the prison was counted, a person disappeared inexplicably, and it was none other than the head of the Daoist Sect.
After falling asleep, two people disappeared out of thin air, Wang Baoyu was very frightened, could it be said that the qiē in the dream was true, he hurriedly ordered again: "Zhou Xuan is not here, pass him in." ”
Zhou Xuan was still there, and he rushed to hear the news immediately. Wang Baoyu hesitated slightly, but still told him about the things in the dream, and told him to keep it a secret no matter what.
Zhou Xuan immediately made an oath, surprised by Wang Baoyu's dream, and immediately explained: "The dreams of ordinary people can indicate good luck and evil, saints have no dreams, and immortals make dreams." Lord Wang's dream should not be above the good and evil, and take the dream seriously! ”
What can be done if you don't do it properly, Liu Liang and Wu Youdao have disappeared inexplicably, and they don't know where they went. Wang Baoyu sighed, and suddenly a feeling rose that he couldn't grasp anything with his hand.
Subsequently, Wang Baoyu personally went to check the prison, Liu Liang's charms were still there, fluttering in the wind, some were broken, and the whole prison was full of a strange atmosphere.
The cell where Uyou Daoist was held was not destroyed, the door was locked, the talismans on the door were all crumbs, and Uyou Daoist seemed to disappear into thin air.
Without further ado, in order not to reproduce variables, Wang Baoyu immediately began to interrogate these people overnight, and recorded the money of all of them one by one.
After tossing for three days, Wang Baoyu dragged his tired body to report to Cao Cao and put forward his own handling suggestions. Cao Cao listened to Wang Baoyu's arrangement and sent a team to shave all these demons and escort them to the border for hard labor.
Cao Cao and Wang Baoyu agreed on how to deal with the relatives of the officials involved, and did not pursue criminal responsibility, but several times the financial fine was necessary.
Moreover, all the money confiscated from the fines went to Si Tianjian managed by Wang Baoyu. For a time, Si Tianfu almost became the richest department.
Despite this, those officials were still grateful to Wang Baoyu, and peace could not be bought with money.
Subsequently, Wang Baoyu cooperated with Yang Xiu to enlighten and educate the deceived people. The common people finally realized that they had been deceived, and after they woke up, they not only scolded the demons, but also regretted it.
Because the life of the people is very difficult, those who can have surplus food at home are rich families, not to mention being deceived so much at once. Many people squatted on the ground and wept bitterly, and they all wanted to die.
Wang Baoyu returned all the money he had defrauded from the people in due course. The people naturally cheered for this move, and they couldn't believe that the lost property and food could be recovered, so they were naturally very happy and grateful, and there were many people who secretly offered the portrait of Wang Baoyu.
After being busy for more than half a month, the matter of the Wudoumi illegal organization was finally dealt with. Wang Baoyu went to Cao Cao and said that the task was almost completed this time, and he wanted to leave Si Tianjian.
Cao Cao didn't agree, saying that although the demon rebellion was pacified, maybe it would come back one day, and Si Tianjian would keep it. As for the work at the current stage, he is responsible for checking the celestial phenomena, divining good fortune and evil, and proposing decision-making references for marching and fighting wars and governing the country.
Cao Cao also hinted that now Si Tianjian is a fat man, and if Wang Baoyu stops, it will definitely lead to another wave of bad incidents such as bribery and bribery.
Cao Cao implored Wang Baoyu to serve for another period of time, and when the system was perfect, it would not be too late to find a suitable candidate before resigning.
When it comes to this, let's work for a while and continue to stay in Si Tianfu. Although there is no big deal, but you can't do nothing, waste money, Wang Baoyu recruited a few people who know how to observe the sky, look at the stars every night, record the changes of the season, and often report.
said that over there in Jiamengguan, Liu Bei had been here for more than a year, and he basically didn't do anything else except buy the hearts of the people. Zhang Lu shouted a lot over there, and danced a lot, but he never came to attack.
The 50,000-strong army is here, and the food consumption is of course very strict, and the military advisor Pang Tong is very anxious, and this issue will be mentioned at every regular meeting.
Liu Bei is still thinking about the place where Liu Zhang said that the treasure is hidden, and he said that if he waits, he will not be able to reach it quickly.
On this day, Pang Tong finally couldn't sit still, and planned to have a good chat with Liu Bei in private. When Pang Tong saw Liu Bei, he directly said: "My lord, if you are not in a hurry to attack Zhang Lu, it is better to raise troops in Chengdu on the spot and overthrow Liu Zhang." ”
Liu Bei also had this intention, but he was afraid of picking up the rope since he was a child, looking forward to digging up the treasure, and still said: "It is not easy for me to win Liu Zhang's trust, and I can't take action lightly." ”
Pang Tong said: "In the long run, there will inevitably be a shortage of food and grass." Moreover, people's hearts are fickle, and the lord has lived here for a long time, but has nothing to do, Liu Zhang will definitely be suspicious. ”
Liu Bei was impatient, suppressed his anger and asked, "Master Pang, what is the best plan, just say it." ”
"If the lord does not fight Chengdu, he must first solve the urgent need for grain and grass. Ke Xiu wrote a letter to Liu Zhang, only saying that there is no war here, Cao Cao has raised troops to attack Jingzhou, and our army will return in the near future, and Liu Zhang is also asked to fund the return of grain and grass. Pang Tong said.
"According to what the military advisor said, when the grain and grass arrive, we will discuss it separately." Liu Bei nodded.
In fact, Liu Bei's heart was also annoyed by Liu Zhang, when Fucheng got together, he said well, Liu Zhang sent grain and grass when he returned to Chengdu, half a year has passed, and Mao has not sent it, it is clear that he has no faith in his words. Especially the location of the treasure, I really should have left him for an extra day last time to ask for clarification.
Liu Bei wrote a sensational letter to Liu Zhang, saying that Jingzhou was in danger, and for the sake of being close to brothers and having the same clan, he also asked for a subsidy for grain and grass, plus 20,000 elite soldiers.
The matter of asking for elite soldiers was an idea that Liu Bei came up with by himself, and he did not discuss it with Pang Tong. He was thinking about opening his mouth to make three points, and if he didn't give it, it would be enough, but he never expected that this matter still aroused Liu Zhang's high sensitivity.
The messenger took the letter and immediately set off for Chengdu and presented the letter to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang was a little unhappy when he saw it, what's the matter, you haven't done anything here, and you still need food and soldiers, who can afford to raise it? It's just that he didn't think of himself as an outsider, and the lion opened his mouth!
Liu Zhang immediately summoned the strategists to discuss, and before Fa Zheng could speak, a thin old man rushed out of the ranks, and said: "Lord, since Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he called attacking Zhang Lu, and his troops were in the north, and he was widely attracted to the people, and his intentions were not good. Today, we are not only asking for military rations, but also elite soldiers, and there must be a plan, and we must not fund it, which is tantamount to adding wings to the tiger and adding salaries to help the fire! ”
"The lord and Liu Bei have a brotherly relationship, and Liu Bei is stationed at the border pass, so Zhang Lu can't attack, how can he not help?" Fa Zheng hurriedly said.
