Chapter 18 The Tanuki Exchanges the Prince's Copper Coin into Stone
After leaving Chaijiazhuang for more than two miles, Cao Cao asked Wu Song: "What do you think of Song Jiang?" ”
"Brother Gongming is arrogant and high-spirited, and he is my idol. By the way, brother, I married him yesterday as a brother with a different surname. Wu Song said happily.
Cao Cao didn't speak, but thought: Song Jiang is dedicated to the court, but it's a pity that the court is mediocre today, resulting in thieves and thieves, and the people are not happy, what is the use of such a court?
Moreover, because Song Jiang was worried that the affair with Chao Gai would be exposed, he killed Yan Po in anger, which meant that it would be difficult for Song Jiang to serve the court through the righteous path in the future.
Even if he doesn't kill people and has been in the officialdom for many years, he is just a charger, how much can he do?
Song Jiangguang is a good man, and his name is very loud in the rivers and lakes, and even his younger brother Wu Song is his iron fan, and he actually worships him.
Cao Cao combined with Song Jiang's actions to speculate that he was very likely to fall into the grass in the future, and then erected a big chess piece for Tianxingdao to attract heroes from all walks of life to vote.
Cao Cao smiled, doing the right thing for heaven?
Lao Tzu is the sky!
Wu Song was about to ask Cao Cao why he was laughing, but he saw Cao Cao staring at the back and frowning, and suddenly Cao Cao shouted: "Not good!" ”
Wu Song hurriedly asked what was going on, but Cao Cao didn't answer, but went straight to the carriage that was transporting the baggage.
With a solemn expression, Cao Cao ordered the accompanying soldiers to inspect the goods, and when the soldiers opened the package, their faces turned pale.
All the copper coins turned into stones!
"Hurry back to Chaijiazhuang!" Cao Cao did not hesitate and immediately ordered.
It turned out that Cao Cao accidentally noticed that the rut marks on the ground were shallower than before, and he realized that the copper coins that might be transported had been tampered with.
Cao Cao was in Chaijiazhuang for the past three days, so the problem must have been in Chaijiazhuang, so he turned back to Chaijiazhuang.
When Chai Jin heard that Cao Cao had returned, he thought that they had left something, but he saw Wu Song walking towards him angrily: "You birdman, I owe you to respect you, and you actually did this dirty thing behind your back, and instructed your subordinates to steal our copper coins!" ”
When Chai Jin heard this, he was stunned: "What, your copper coins are gone?" ”
"You don't pretend here, except for you, who has such courage? The money is missing in Chaijiazhuang, who else can you have? After Wu Song finished speaking, he was about to step forward and reason with Chai Jin.
Cao Cao hurriedly stopped it, but thinking that the copper coin was indeed dropped in Chaijiazhuang, Shen Se said: "Wu heard that Chai Daguan is kind and benevolent, and he has made ......good friends with Wang Lun and Du Qian, the previous leaders of Naliang Mountain."
Chai Jin looked at Cao Cao in surprise: "How do you know?" ”
It turned out that after Wang Lun fell off the list, he and Du Qian came to Chai Jin together, and walked out of Chai Jiazhuang with Chai Jin's funding a few days later.
After that, the two came to Liangshan, got acquainted with Song Wan, the king of the clouds, and Zhu Gui, who had failed in business, and the four of them teamed up to pull up a group of minions and began to rob houses and houses, and founded Liangshan.
This matter was also learned by Cao Cao overhearing the conversation of Chaijiazhuang's subordinates in the past two days, combined with Chai Jin's own words, he had written a letter of recommendation to Lin Chong and asked him to go to Liangshan.
Cao Cao deduced that Chai Jin must be inextricably linked to Liangshan, and even he was the behind-the-scenes financier of Liangshan!
It's just that this matter is extremely secretive, and very few people know about it.
Cao Cao said that he deliberately provoked Chai Jin, and he speculated that since Chai Jin could have a relationship with Liangshan, it could be seen that it was not a blank slate, and it was possible to do some unsightly things behind his back.
When Chai Jin heard Cao Cao say this, his face was gloomy: "Could it be that the master book suspects me?" ”
At this time, Song Jiang, who was standing on the side, had an extremely ugly face.
Because if it is really as Cao Cao said, then he ventilated the news to help Chao cover Liangshan, which is equivalent to indirectly helping Chao Gai to rob Chai Jin's Liangshan.
You must know that after Chao covered Liangshan, Lin Chong was provoked by Wu Yong to join Wang Lun, and under Lin Chong's recommendation, he sat on the first place in Liangshan.
Chai Jin also lost control of Liangshan as a result.
Song Jiang thought of what Chai Jin said to him when he first took refuge in Chaijiazhuang, which indirectly proved this.
Thinking of this, Song Jiang broke out in a cold sweat.
Cao Cao said at this time: "It's not that I suspect the owner of the firewood village, it's just that this matter is really suspicious." The good copper money is in the Chaijiazhuang, and the civet cat is exchanged for the prince, hoping that the owner of the chaizhuang can give the brothers an explanation. ”
Chai Jin himself is a quick temper, and he has never suffered such a grievance, so he immediately waved his hand and replied happily: "Okay, you don't be impatient, give me three days, I can't find out within three days, I Chai Jin will compensate you for those copper coins." ”
Cao Cao made a gesture at this time: "The owner of the firewood village is atmospheric. ”
"Butler, notify you to block all the entrances and exits of Chaijiazhuang and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving. Even if you turn Chaijiazhuang upside down within three days, you have to find out the lost money in the martial master's book for me! Chai Jin was obviously angry and ordered loudly.
Chai into the rivers and lakes is called a little whirlwind, and he is already doing things in a hurry, and the housekeeper Wang Li saw that Chai Jin was in a big fire, and retreated tremblingly.
After Chai Jin finished arranging, he squeezed out a smiling face and said to Cao Cao: "Master book and wait patiently, there will be results in a few days." ”
Cao Cao and Song Jiang withdrew from the main house together, and inadvertently heard Song Jiang say to Song Qing beside him: "We can't stay in Chaijiazhuang, wait for this matter, let's go to Kongjiazhuang." ”
Cao Cao looked at Song Jiang's back and secretly wondered, could it be that Xiao Liu Bei stole the copper coin?
However, a day later, although the housekeeper Wang Li arranged for the family and the nursing home to rummage through everyone's residence in Chaijiazhuang, Cao Cao's lost copper coins were still not found.
Cao Cao was anxious at this time, Chai Jin couldn't sit still, and began to personally supervise the case, after all, it involved seven thousand copper coins, and many people had never seen so much money in their lives, so they couldn't be sloppy.
In Chai Jin's eyes, 7,000 copper coins are a small matter, but Chaijiazhuang's reputation cannot be tarnished, he must find out this villain who stole copper coins and correct Chaijiazhuang's name.
At this time, everyone in Chaijiazhuang was in danger, and Chai Jin let out a rumor: "Report the meritorious person, and reward ten copper coins." ”
After waiting for another day, I didn't wait for the person who reported it, but I found a body in the bamboo forest in Chaijiazhuang.
Chai Jin hurriedly took Cao Cao to the scene of the incident, and after identification, the deceased was Liu Ze of Chaijiazhuang Nursing Hospital.
Cao Cao analyzed: "Seven thousand copper coins, one person must not be able to transfer, there must be accomplices." Presumably, this group of people is currently experiencing infighting, so they kill people with passion and conceal their culpability. ”
Chai Jin echoed: "Yes, as soon as the matter comes out, I will close Chaijiazhuang, presumably these copper coins are still in the village, and the martial master is out of reach, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." ”
Cao Cao clasped his hands into fists at this time and apologized: "I slandered the Chai officials for no reason that day, I hope the officials don't take it to heart, I am also in a hurry......"
Cao Cao had already understood at this time that Chai Jin was by no means a person who exchanged stones for copper coins, and it must be the people of the Chai family who wanted to see the wealth, so he apologized to Chai Jin.
"Needless to say, I get it. But how can we find this guy? Chai Jin couldn't wait to find out the thief at this time, these people had insulted the reputation of Chai Jiazhuang, and he would definitely not let it go.
Cao Cao thought for a while, pulled Chai Jin to a corner, and said softly: "Big official, I have a plan, you can give it a try......"
