Chapter 233: Fishing in Troubled Waters
The biggest winner is undoubtedly Dong Zhuo, the assassin of Liangzhou who rushed to Luoyang the next day. With Liu Ze's current ability, it is not enough to shake Dong Zhuo's power, so even if he comes to the capital, it is impossible to change anything, Dong Zhuo will still be autocratic, and he will still abolish the young emperor and establish the emperor.
Liu Ze's purpose is just to fish in troubled waters. Zhang let Zhao Zhong and other ten permanent servants sell official beards, corrupt the law, I don't know how much money swallowed up, after the Luoyang incident, the ten permanent servants died, but the huge wealth left behind will undoubtedly be Dong Zhuo in the private pocket, the history books record that Dong Zhuo built Meiwu outside Chang'an, accumulated tens of millions, gold, silver and jewelry countless, presumably most of them are obtained from Luoyang. Instead of leaving the inheritance of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong to Dong Zhuo, it is better to take advantage of the chaos to help all the people in the world.
Previously, Pan Feng was sent to Luoyang, mainly in response to the evacuation of Huitong Tianxia Qianzhuang, and later Liu Ze came up with this plan to fish in troubled waters, but he did not dare to fake Pan Feng's hand, so he rushed to Luoyang in person.
Guan Hai, Pan Feng and others generously received the order, and the group looked at Zhang Rang's mansion under the leadership of Liu Ze.
The night was dark, and Luoyang City was silent in a dead silence, so oppressive that people could barely breathe. In addition to the sound of horses' hooves and chaotic footsteps, Liu Ze's team was silent, walking through Luoyang City under the night.
"Who? Password! The forbidden army patrolling ahead discovered Liu Ze's team, held torches, blocked the way, and shouted loudly.
How did Liu Ze know the password of the forbidden army, but he urged his horse forward unhurriedly and said: "I am under the command of the military academy, and I went to Zhang Rang's mansion to arrest the Qin prisoner on the order of Captain Cao. Don't wait yet, get out of the way! ”
The leader of the forbidden army said suspiciously: "Where did Zhang Zhongchang come to the mansion to commit a crime?" ”
Liu Ze said in a deep voice: "General He has been killed by Zhang Rang, Captain Yuan and Captain Cao are leading troops into the palace to kill Eunuch, why do the generals take revenge, if you dare to stop again, don't blame me for not thinking about the friendship of Pao Ze!" ”
"What? General He was killed by Zhang Rang? The leader of the forbidden army was stunned, and Liu Ze's words were unbelievable.
Liu Ze pointed in the direction of Changle Palace with a horsewhip, there were blazing flames, flames soaring into the sky, and countless fighting cries faintly came, and the leader of the forbidden army glanced at it. I also understand that something is really going on in the palace.
Liu Ze didn't care about paying attention to him anymore. led the team straight to Zhang Rang's mansion.
Zhang Rang's mansion is famous in Luoyang City, and everyone knows it, because it is more magnificent than the imperial palace. In the Han Dynasty, what level of officials lived in what standard mansions, and if they exceeded the standard, they exceeded the system. Surpassing the palace would be a capital offense. But Zhang Rang has a trick. Tell Emperor Han Ling. The Son of Heaven cannot ascend, and there will be a miracle in ascending. From his words, Emperor Ling has never been on the palace wall. Naturally, I can't see how high Zhang Rang's mansion is built and how pompous, and the attendants on the left and right of Emperor Ling are all Zhang Rang's people, so Emperor Ling was also concealed by Zhang Rang until his death.
Liu Ze rushed to Zhang's Mansion and saw that the gate of Nafu was really majestic, almost the same as the gate of the palace. Liu Ze ordered someone to bang on the door, but the Nafu Gate was too heavy, and the army brought over a tree trunk the size of a bucket, and hit it dozens of times in a row, but the door was not knocked open.
However, there is only one mansion gate, how can it stop the Jinying Guards with unique skills, Pan Feng gave an order, several Jinying Guards threw their flying claws, hooked on the tall courtyard wall, "whoosh" a few times, several people have already climbed over the courtyard wall. Soon the door of the underworld was opened, and Liu Ze led his troops to rush into Zhang's mansion.
As soon as he hit the door just now, there was such a big movement, and the house didn't know that after Liu Ze led the army to rush in, the hundreds of guards of the Zhang Mansion also pounced with swords in their hands.
A person who looked like a steward at the head saw a group of forbidden troops pounce in like wolves, although he was a little panicked, but he had been rampant in Luoyang City for many years, and he didn't take these forbidden troops in his eyes at all, and shouted loudly: "Whose subordinates are you?" is so bold, do you know that this is Zhang Zhongchang's mansion? ”
Liu Ze smiled coldly and said: "Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong and others killed General He, and they have been beheaded by Captain Yuan, and we were ordered to come to raid Zhang Rang's mansion, and we will be arrested before we can tie our hands!" ”
"Zhang Zhongchang is dead?" The steward's face suddenly turned pale, and he said sharply: "You are talking nonsense! How did Zhang Zhongchang die? ”
Liu Ze was too lazy to talk to him, and ordered Guan Hai Pan Feng to do it immediately. Although there are hundreds of people in Zhangfu's nursing home, it can be the opponent of the well-trained Jinying Guard, and three strikes and five divisions by two have already eliminated more than half of the Zhangfu soldiers, and the rest have also thrown away their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
The three souls in charge lost two souls, and he was so frightened that he wanted to escape, how could Pan Feng let him escape, stepped forward and grabbed his neck, and threw it in front of Liu Ze. Seeing that these forbidden soldiers were so fierce, the steward knelt in front of Liu Ze and begged for mercy.
Liu Ze smiled slightly and said, "As long as you tell the hiding place of Zhang Rang's treasure, I can spare your life." ”
"This ......" the steward's cold sweat trickled, "the villain really doesn't know." ”
"I really don't know?" Liu Ze had already seen a look of panic in his eyes, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a sneer, "I thought that if you knew the whereabouts of the treasure, you could consider sparing your life, but it's a pity that you don't know, forget it, let's find someone else to ask." Pan Feng, send this master on the road! ”
Pan Feng shook the dagger that flashed with cold light in front of his eyes, and the person in charge was immediately paralyzed. "I know, I know where...... Don't kill me! ”
Opening Zhang Rang's treasure house, even Liu Ze couldn't help but be stunned, this rare treasure is dazzling, pearls, jade, agate, coral, jade, night pearl...... There are countless boxes, boxes and boxes of gold are piled up in the corners like sundries, and Liu Ze can't help but sigh at Zhang Rang's ability to scavenge the people's fat and people's ointment.
The people of the Golden Eagle Guard were agile, and one of Zhang Rangnuo's warehouses was emptied in a short time. Liu Ze did not lose his trust, and tied the steward and the soldiers who surrendered with ropes and locked them in the secret room.
This time, Liu Ze was ready to take advantage of the fire to rob, and brought dozens of carts into Beijing, which obviously came in handy, and Zhang Rang's treasure trove alone was full of more than half of the carts.
Then, Liu Ze concocted the same method and ransacked the house of Zhao Zhong, a regular servant, and gained a lot. Originally, there were still Guo Sheng, Cao Jie's mansions that were not patronized, but seeing that the east was already white, time was not allowed, Liu Ze accepted it when he saw it, and immediately ordered to go out of the city.
At this time, there was already a great chaos in Luoyang City, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and many armor soldiers had rushed to the homes of the ten permanent servants, and killed the families of the ten permanent servants regardless of size. The streets and alleys were already in chaos, and as long as they saw the eunuchs, they were hacked to death with random knives. Many beardless people also suffered, and became ghosts under the knife in a daze, and even died without understanding what was going on.
In the midst of the chaos, Liu Ze and the others were not affected, and it was precisely because of the forbidden army armor on their bodies that they could move freely in Luoyang City.
When he arrived at Zhengyang Gate, the order to guard the city gate stopped Liu Ze and asked for the order.
Liu Ze scolded: "The Son of Heaven was kidnapped out of the city by Zhang Rang, and the official was ordered to go out of the city to pursue it, and the general has been killed by Zhang Rang, how can I get you a talisman to leave the city?" You dare to stop this official from going out of the city, if the Son of Heaven suffers an accident, you will definitely be guilty of exterminating the nine clans! ”
This big hat is buttoned down, how can the city gate order with a humble official position not be frightened, tonight the news that General He was killed in Luoyang City, and the news that the Son of Heaven was abducted has already spread to everyone, how can the city gate order bear this responsibility, and no longer dare to ask Liu Ze for the order, open the city gate to let him go.
Liu Ze and his entourage of hundreds of people and dozens of carts rushed out and left Luoyang.
The sky was already slightly bright, the morning dew was heavy, and there was a hint of autumn coolness in the air. Along the way, I encountered several forbidden officers and soldiers looking for the Son of Heaven outside the city, and fortunately, Liu Ze's team was all in the uniform of the forbidden army, and now in such a chaotic situation, who would suspect that someone pretended to be a forbidden army to take advantage of the fire to rob, and mistakenly thought that Liu Ze's team was also looking for the Son of Heaven.
Among them, Liu Ze also met an old acquaintance, Peng Mingong in central Henan, who was leading a large team of men and horses to look for the Son of Heaven with torches. Liu Ze looked at him from afar, didn't dare to squeak, and hid in the middle of the team. Min Gong was also in a hurry to find the Son of Heaven, and the sky was not yet bright, so he didn't see Liu Ze at all.
After Min Gong passed, Liu Ze thought that this was not a solution, if he bumped into Yuan Shao and Cao Cao for a while, it would not be good, he had so many treasures, but he couldn't see the light, it was better to leave this place of right and wrong quickly. So Liu Ze didn't dare to take the main road anymore, and walked along a rugged path under the Beibi Mountain.
I didn't go far when I heard the cry of a child in front of me, and a cluster of figures swaying in the distance. How can there be a child crying in this wilderness? Liu Ze's heart moved, wasn't it Liu Xian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, who were kidnapped by Zhang Rang and others? This Liu Bian is only thirteen years old, and Liu Xie is even younger, only eight years old, aren't they two children? He ordered Zhou Cang to guard the vehicles of the rear team, and personally led Guan Hai Panfeng to catch up.
It was not bad at all as Liu Ze expected, it was Zhang Rang Duan Qi and them in front of them, after killing He Jin in Changle Palace, but they didn't want to be killed by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, Zhao Zhong, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, and Guo Sheng were chopped into meat paste by the sergeants who rushed in at that time. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang asked Duan Jue to kidnap the Queen Mother, the Young Emperor and King Chen Liu, and fled to the North Palace from the back road. On the way, he met Lu Zhi, who was holding armor, and Empress Dowager He took the opportunity to jump out of the window and escape, but was rescued by Lu Zhi. Zhang Rang and others escaped from the capital with the young emperor and Chen Liuwang and went to Beibi Mountain. (To be continued......)
