Gao Bin received Shi Li's order to go out of the city overnight and go straight to the tomb of King Shanyang, and at the same time asked his subordinates to inform Zha Yong.

After Gao Bin left, the more Shi Li thought about it, the more uneasy he became, Shi Chong clearly emphasized in his letter to him that King Langya's twists and turns mentioned, "Huaiyin's loss of food is indeed man-made, and the people behind the scenes are being investigated", Shi Li felt that he could not lose big because of a small loss, so he sent his henchmen to follow Gao Bin, and once he lost, he would act cheaply immediately.

And Cha Yong's side had already arranged a boat to transport grain, and he only waited for Gao Bin's reply, and immediately went to the end to wait, and at the same time prepared dozens of cars to drive.

In order to make the play sufficient, Zha Yong personally escorted the car with his brothers to the tomb of King Shanyang.

When Zha Yong arrived, Gao Bin had already arrived, and when he saw Zha Yong coming, he didn't say much, so he ordered him to open the underground palace immediately.

After Zha Yong entered the tomb of King Shanyang, he opened the leopard head mechanism of Zi Palace, opened the dungeon, released the arrow that led to the entrance of the dungeon, and came to the door of the dungeon.

I saw Zha Yong holding a key and inserting it into the phoenix eye of the stone door, first twisting left three times, then right three times, and with a "click" the stone door opened a thin slit of about an inch.

Cha Yong ordered someone to bring a specially made iron cone that was prepared, inserted it into the door from the crack in the door, and ordered someone to resist the iron cone, and at the same time ordered someone to put a pipe iron to cover the tap stone inside, at this time Cha Yong continued to twist the key of the mechanism, several people used force at the same time, and the stone door slowly opened.

It turns out that this nail tube key is actually composed of three parts.

After the stone door was opened, everyone did not enter the underground palace immediately, but waited outside for a while, and only entered the underground palace after making sure that the air inside had been circulated.

Cha Yong commanded his brothers to carry the sacks, and Shi Li checked the situation of the grain.

Everyone worked hard for half an hour, only to hear a noisy sound outside, Gao Bin was ordering someone to check, and as soon as the words fell, a team of soldiers had already broken into the underground palace.

I saw Gu Rong, who was dressed in official uniform, walking in, followed by Murong Jia, Mu Yixue and Qinghu.

Gao Bin couldn't help but be taken aback, and was about to let Zha Yong resist, but seeing that Zha Yong's face did not change color, and he looked calm and calm, he already understood in his heart.

He pointed at Zha Yong and said, "It's you, you deliberately brought me over, and you colluded with them?" ”

Zha Yong ignored Gao Bin, but walked to Gu Rong's side.

I only heard Gu Rong say to Captain Huang Jing of Sili who came in together: "Huaishui has lost food, and now that the stolen goods have been obtained, Captain Huang will hand it over to you." ”

Immediately, Huang Jing ordered several soldiers to tie up Gao Bin.

Everyone came out of the underground palace and came to the outside of the underground palace, and Gao Bin's soldiers had already been held hostage by the people brought by Zha Yong and the soldiers from the government transferred by Gu Rong.

I only heard Gu Rong say loudly: "This official Gu Rong, for the Andong Military Department of the imperial court, assisted King Langya to come to supervise the case of Jiangyin's loss of grain, and now the stolen goods have been obtained, and Gao Bin has been taken down by this official." You are a soldier of the imperial court, although you and Gao Bin came to transport grain, but you really obey the order, from now on, you and obey the orders of the official, if you do not obey, you will be killed. ”

At this time, Huang Jing had already escorted Gao Bin out of the tomb of King Shanyang, and when the soldiers heard this, they immediately put down their weapons and knelt on the ground to express their obedience to Lord Gu's orders.

Gu Rong saw Huang Jing come out and said to him: "This time, I still need to bother Lord Huang to send someone as a grain officer to Chang'an." All the way off the boat to load the car, King Langya has already arranged the escort along the way. There is only one and a half months before Yuanchen, and this batch of grain needs to be sent to Chang'an as soon as possible to help the victims, so that the victims can have food to pass the Yuanchen.

Captain Huang said: "Master Gu doesn't have to be polite, Gu Changshi listens to orders when he joins the army!" ”

"The last general" A man dressed in a staff uniform stood up.

"This time, I will trouble you to go and deliver food security to Chang'an."

"The last general commands!"

Gu Rong said to Zha Yong again: "Now that the imperial court has requisitioned your boats, and you still need the lord of Cha Helm to transport the grain in the underground palace to the end, let your people and the soldiers brought by Gao Bin load the ship and transport it to Chang'an, raise the imperial flag, and obey the arrangements of Gu to join the army all the way." ”

Zha Yong replied: "Zha Yong obeys. ”

Gu Rong stepped forward and patted Zha Yong on the shoulder, and whispered: "Go to Jianye immediately after processing, according to the law, I will detain you together." ”

"Zha Yong understands!"

Gu Rong arranged the things as soon as he did it, and together with Murong Jia, Mu Yixue, Qinghu and Huang Jing, he escorted Gao Bin back to the Shanyang Mansion.

Gao Bin was sent to the government prison first, and the Shanyang County Commander arranged for Gu Rong, Huang Jing and others to have dinner, and everyone rested in Shanyang for the night.

On the second day, Gao Bin was put into the prisoner car, and Huang Jing sent someone to escort him to Jianye, in order to prevent changes on the way to the escort, he and Murong Jia left Qinghu and Huang Jing to escort Gao Bin together.

And Gu Rong, Murong Jia, and Mu Yixue hurried to Jianye and joined Sima Jingwen.

At the same time as trapping Gao Bin, Wang Qing and Hu Chong detained Tian Hu, who had taken the lead in making trouble, back to Wu County and brought back Guan Hu.

Zhou Rong entered the city first, and brought Sima Jingwen some information about the detention of the "first evil farmer", and told him that several of them were mixed in by plain-clothed envoys, so as to prevent someone from assassinating the farmer on the way to escort him.

Sima Jingwen said to Zhou Rong: "At this time, Li Zhao must destroy the account books, and I am afraid that he will have to attack the three records." Although Gu Rong has sent a plain-clothed messenger to protect him secretly, tonight I need you and the endless past to protect the account books and records, especially the record named Zhang Chao must protect him, he is our person. ”

"Yes, Zhou Rong obeyed."

"It's still early, don't worry, you go to find Yang Zheng first, tell him to keep an eye on Li Zhao, and take Li Zhao down as soon as he has a chance tonight, and don't let him escape. Li Zhao must be inconvenient to get rid of the record during the day, when it gets dark, you go to the outer wall of the backyard of the government to wait, and you will meet you without bounds."

After Zhou Rong received the order, he left the post house and went to find Yang Zheng.

After Zhou Rong left, a servant came to the post house to report, Wang Qing and Hu Chong came back, and asked King Langya to go to the public house.

When Sima Jingwen arrived at the main hall of the public house, Hu Chong, Li Zhao and others had already sat down, and Wang Qing stood in front of the case.

After Sima Jingwen sat down, he also motioned for everyone to sit down, and said politely: "The two adults have worked hard, how is the situation?" ”

"Back to the prince, when I went to Haiyan with Lord Hu, the farmers clashed with the soldiers sent by the Yangzhou Assassin History, some of the farmers were injured as a result, and many people were detained. In accordance with the prince's wishes, Xia Guan and Lord Hu released the non-chief evil Tianhu, and this time they detained 22 people, all of whom were wandering around the villages and instigating Tianhu to make trouble. Wang Qing replied.

Sima Jingwen nodded with satisfaction, and Wang Qing continued: "This time, we also brought back the official Hu for grain requisition, and this official Hu is indeed four buckets more than the normal official Hu. ”

Sima Jingwen nodded again and asked, "Is this official Hu self-matched by the county government, or was it brought over by the officials who collected grain?" ”

"Back to the prince, this official was brought over by the grain collector."

"What does the Haiyan County Order say?"

"The Haiyan County Decree only said that the grain supervisor was sent by the imperial court, and it was not convenient to ask more about whether the official was suitable. The imperial court asked the local government to cooperate in the collection of grain, so everything was mainly done by the grain superintendent. Wang Qing replied.

"What about the other counties?"

"The situation in several other counties is roughly the same!"

Sima Jingwen glanced at Li Zhao: "Lord Li, these grain supervisors are all your subordinates, and they were also brought over from Luoyang by order, and now that this matter has happened, Lord Li, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

Li Zhao already understood from the bottom of his heart when he saw Guan Hu that King Langya was going to convict him together, but he saw that Li Zhao had lost his previous arrogance at this time, he stood up and said:

"This time it is really not strict under the rule of the lower officials, this official is indeed accompanied by some officials, but these officials are brought from Luoyang Guancang, but I am afraid that the local officials are not allowed, and the lower officials really don't know when the officials will be replaced by fourteen buckets. The lower officials were guilty of negligence, so after the grain requisition was completed, he returned to Kyoto and asked His Majesty and Niangniang for his guilt. ”

Sima Jingwen looked at Li Zhao and smiled meaningfully: "Then how will Lord Li deal with your grain overseer?" ”

Li Zhaodao: "I will be detained first, and after returning to Beijing, I will hand it over to Tingwei for conviction and delivery." ”

"Then let's do what Master Li wants, and the prisoners brought back by Wang Qing will be temporarily detained, and they will not be punished, and they will not be punished harshly." Sima Jingwen said to Hu Chong.

"The subordinate obeys." Hu Chong stood up and said.
