Chapter 304: Just ask
At the city gates.
A group of carriages and horses quickly departed, and after a long time, there was the sound of gnashing teeth in the carriage, but no matter how much she asked, the woman who gritted her teeth did not want to say what had happened, or what she had seen.
"What's wrong?"
A jade bi leaned out from behind Wang Mang, hugged Wang Mang and said, "Why did you stop suddenly?"
"Nothing. Wang Mang snorted, his body crooked, and he was whipped again.
Just now, Wang Mang felt that a divine thought was directly investigated, how cultivated Wang Mang is now, as soon as this divine thought came over, Wang Mang found out, but this divine thought came and went quickly, Wang Mang could only see the general direction of this divine thought, but the time was too short, but he couldn't figure out who sent this divine thought.
Is it an enemy, is it a friend?
Although Wang Mang's body was still in motion, his mind couldn't help but ponder, which also caused Wang Mang's interest to rise to disappear quickly.
After getting dressed, he found Li Lan and instructed: "Li Lan, go and check with me if anyone has come to Shenmu County today, this person's identity should not be simple." ”
According to Wang Mang's thoughts, if he can send out his divine thoughts from such a long distance, he must be a strong person at the innate level, and seeing that this person does not care about probing his divine thoughts, Wang Mang knows that such a strong person will never enter Shenmu County in a very low-key manner.
Moreover, the congenital strong have their own romantic temperament, which is absolutely comparable to others, as long as they have the intention to investigate, there will be clues.
But what Wang Mang didn't expect was that the person who came was not only not low-key, but also undisguised, Li Lan went out for only a moment, and then returned to the county government with the general who had guarded the door before.
"Your Majesty, this is the general who guards the east gate of the county today, and he is an extraordinary person here today. Li Lan said: "General Li, report what you found to Your Majesty." ”
"The last general Li Zhongyi has seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live. Li Zhongyi bowed to Wang Mang.
Wang Mang waved his hand and said: "In the army, there is no need to be so polite, how many years has General Li joined the army?"
"The last general has been in the army for more than 20 years. Li Zhongyi said.
"Twenty years, not bad!" Wang Mang nodded and said, "Tell me what you saw today." ”
"Today, a team of chariots and horses came from the east, this team of chariots and horses were brightly dressed, and they looked at their extraordinary origins, and before the last general came forward to ask, a man came from among the chariots and horses, and showed a document to the last general. Li Zhongyi breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "The document was stamped with the seal of the general of the southern army, and the last general did not dare to stop it, so he put this group of men and horses into the city. ”
"The general seal of the southern army?" Wang Mang raised his eyebrows and said: "Go and call Wang Jian, just ask him, do you know who came to Shenmu at this time?"
"Yes. Li Lan nodded, went outside and called a competent eunuch to look for Wang Jian.
Wang Mang continued to ask, "Do you see the person in charge of the caravan and horses?"
"I haven't seen it. Li Zhongyi said: "It's just that from the sound and smell of the carriage, it should be a woman in the carriage." ”
"You're careful. Wang Mang nodded and said, "Can you send someone to follow?"
"Your Majesty, although this team of men and horses showed the general seal of the army to conquer the south, but the last general thought that when this war was in chaos, the expressions of the entourage of this team of chariots and horses were very leisurely, and they were very suspicious. Li Zhongyi said: "The last general's people are following them now, but this group of people doesn't seem to want to hide anything, and they live directly in the largest restaurant in the county. ”
"You're doing a good job. Wang Mang said.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if there is anything wrong with these people, if the last general will lead his troops to arrest them all. Li Zhongyi said.
"Wait. Although Wang Mang shook his head, he was very sure in his heart that it must be this team of chariots and horses to probe himself with his divine thoughts today, not to mention anything else, at least in this direction and time.
After a while, Wang Jian actually ran over in person, and when he saw Wang Mang, he said: "Your Majesty, I heard that someone entered the city with a document stamped with the seal of the army of Zhengnan, I don't know if it's true?"
"Yes. Wang Mang nodded and said, "Li Zhongyi, tell General Wang about the situation." ”
Li Zhongyi bowed his hand to Wang Jian, and then told Wang Jian about the specific situation of the group of people holding the document stamped with the seal of the army of the southern army today.
After hearing this, Wang Jian shook his head and said: "This matter is not right, as far as the minister knows, the minister has not covered such a document. ”
"Could it be a forged document? But the last general looked at it carefully, and the document was indeed stamped with the general seal of the southern army, and the general, this seal can still be clearly distinguished. Li Zhongyi frowned.
"Whether it's a forgery or not, it's hard to say now, you have to meet people. Wang Jian pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, Your Majesty, the minister went to meet that group of people, and the minister felt that the origin of that group of people was not simple, and they dared to do such a thing under His Majesty's nose, this group of people is no longer bold." ”
"I'm sure, go and see. Wang Mang said.
After Wang Jian received the order, he asked Li Zhongyi to lead the way and went directly to the restaurant, where all the shopkeepers were at the door, all with sad faces.
"What's going on?" Li Zhongyi stepped forward.
"This general, what do you say this is called, a group of guests came today, quite arrogant, as soon as I arrived, I said that I would be able to package this restaurant, and it was a price increase package, you said that I was looking for this kind of good thing, of course, I directly agreed, as for some of the guests living in the restaurant, they all let this group of people clear it with silver," the shopkeeper said: "I never thought that the guests here were cleaned out, and our master was also cleaned out." ”
"What do you say?" Li Zhongyi looked stunned.
"Said that since it has been chartered, everything in the restaurant is up to them, and they don't need us people, let's find another place to go, and come back when they leave. The shopkeeper said: "It's the first time I've seen this in my life, and I actually brought my own servant cook, and this shelf is also bigger." ”
"You ......" Li Zhongyi was speechless, he had really never seen anything like this, this was bigger than the shelf of the Son of Heaven.
Wang Jian took over and said, "Do you know who it is?"
"I don't know. The shopkeeper shook his head.
"General Wang, I want to know where we come from, you can come in and ask, what do you have to say to these Riba people, and you have lost your identity as General Wang. At this time, a middle-aged man with a smile on his face and a white beard walked out of the restaurant.
"General Wang?"
"It won't be Wang Jian, the general of the imperial court's expedition to the south, right?"
"God, General Wang actually came to our small place?"
The shopkeeper of the restaurant and a group of men all fell to their knees on the ground, they never thought that the person who had just spoken to them was Wang Jian, the general of the imperial court's expedition to the south.
And Wang Jian ignored the shopkeeper and the group, looked at the middle-aged, raised his eyebrows and said, "Who are you?"
