"What did you say?"

Li Yunze, who was busy reviewing official documents, put down the brush in his hand and looked at Zhang Tang suspiciously, "Say it again." ”

"The King."

Zhang Tang, who was saluting with his left hand, said again, "The convoy carrying money and goods sank when crossing the river. ”

"The ship sank?"

Li Yunze frowned slightly, "Tell me in detail." ”

"Whoa."

The convoy arrived on the opposite bank of Mengjindu, it was getting late, and the wind on the river did not stop. Du Shuicheng, one of the three chiefs of the Shaofu who led the team, ignored the dissuasion of everyone and forcibly asked to cross the river and rest on the other bank."

"Meng Jindu?"

Li Yunze interrupted Zhang Tang's words: "Didn't you say to go to Fenglingdu?" Why did you transfer to Mengjindu? ”

The opposite bank of Fenglingdu is Tongguan, of course, Tongguan has not been set up yet, but the opposite bank is also a large town, just next to the official road of the Hangu Pass, it is very convenient to enter the customs directly.

As for Mengjindu, it is naturally Mengjindu next to Luoyang City.

"The King." Zhang Tang explained: "I heard Du Shuicheng say that I heard on the road that Fenglingdu was raging and it was difficult to cross the river."

"Heard on the way?"

Li Yunze smiled, "Send someone to Fenglingdu to check and ask if there was a strong wind during that time." ”

"Whoa."

Zhang Tang responded, and then continued, "King, when the convoy crossed the river on the ferry, the sky was already completely dark, and the wind on the river was very strong, and the fleet gradually dispersed without a trace, and they could not see each other. After that, I heard the ship with the gold coins shouting that it was going to sink. Wait until it's on

After going ashore, only the boat with gold coins did not come. After dawn, I searched everywhere, but I was already gone. ”

"Hehe~~~"

Li Yunze shook his head disdainfully: "Humble tricks." ”

There were so many ships in the fleet, but it was very coincidental that only the ships with gold coins sank.

Obviously, it was supposed to go to Fenglingdu, but it was so coincidental that it was rumored that Fenglingdu had a strong wind, and he had to make a detour to Mengjindu.

We all knew that it was getting dark, and there was a strong wind on the river, so we had to cross the river in a hurry.

When too many coincidences come together, it is not a coincidence, but an inevitability.

No matter what others think, Li Yunze will definitely not regard it as an accident anyway.

After a little muttering, Li Yunze immediately ordered Zhang Tang to "quickly send someone to control Nadu Shuicheng, he is a key person, don't let him be killed by eighteen knives in the back." ”

"Whoa."

Zhang Tang received the order and quickly withdrew from the hall.

Li Yunze shook his head and didn't take the matter to heart.

It's just a little gold, and it's nothing outside of you.

In any era, there will be no shortage of ruthless people who dare to tie their heads to the waistband of their trousers and rob the gold of the imperial court, which is really nothing great.

It's just obvious that Li Yunze despised this matter a little.

The most intuitive display is that when this news was transmitted to Chang'an City, some ministers soon stated in the court that it was very inappropriate to set up the coinage bureau in Zhongshan Kingdom, which would cause difficulties and troubles in the transportation of coins, and asked the Son of Heaven to use this gold shipwreck case

As a ring, the minting bureau will be relocated back to Chang'an City.

The first thought of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was that this time the matter was to run for the coinage bureau in Li Yunze's hands, and there was a promoter behind it!

When the news reached Lunu City, Li Yunze's first reaction was, 'I thought it was a case of outlaws stealing gold, but I didn't expect it to be a target to attack myself.' ’

Thoughts shifted, unable to control the body, raised his head and sighed softly, 'Hiss~~~'

Gently exhaling turbid air, Li Yunze lowered his head and stretched out his hand to caress the beauty's hair, and said gently, "Go and get ten Shu brocades." ”

The beautiful woman with a look of disappointment in her beautiful eyes purred in her throat, "Thank you, the king, for the reward." ”

The virtuous king Li Yunze looked at the beautiful woman's departing shadow, but what he thought in his heart was, if he met a ruthless character like the princess of Western Xia one day, wouldn't it be very dangerous?

But after thinking about it, in terms of his current physical fitness, it should be comparable to steel, and he broke the princess's teeth.

Put your mind down, and there will be an attendant to report that "Tingwei Zhang Gong has an urgent matter to report." ”

"Could it be that Shui Cheng was killed?"

Li Yunze came to the hall with a smile, and when he saw Zhang Tang, his first sentence went straight to the core of the problem.

Zhang Tang was stunned, and deeply worshipped, "Shengming is not more than the king, there is news to report, saying that Nadu Shui Cheng is guilty of dereliction of duty, and he has already taken advantage of the night to go out and throw water." ”

"Heh~~~"

Waving his wide sleeves, Li Yunze sat down behind the case, "Do you think he really threw himself into the water?" ”

"The minister also feels that this matter is strange, and I am afraid that someone is manipulating this matter behind his back."

"Lose the gold first, and then use this matter to attack the king, move the coinage bureau to Chang'an City, and let the king lose the right to mint money. This is just the beginning, and I will make a fuss about this matter in the future, and keep attacking this king, so as to reduce the impression of this king in the eyes of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother

。 ”

Li Yunze said thoughtfully, "It seems that someone has already paid attention to this king and started to start." ”

"King!"

Zhang Tang saluted with a red face, "The minister is willing to go to Luoyang and thoroughly investigate this matter for the king!" ”

"It's useless." Li Yunze smiled and waved his hand, "You are the court lieutenant of Zhongshan Kingdom, who will take care of you when you go to Luoyang?" If you can't say it, it will also make you ashamed to throw yourself into the water because you can't do it. ”

Zhang Tang saluted respectfully, "The minister is willing to go to the soup for the king, and he will not hesitate!" ”

"Faithfulness is commendable."

Li Yunze approved, and then turned back to the topic, "You say, why don't you go to Fenglingdu and go to Mengjindu instead?" ”

Zhang Tang, who was ordered, suddenly brightened his eyes, "Because it's easy to do things in Luoyang?" ”

"That's right."

Li Yunze smiled, "Such things can't be done by the government and the army, because they can't wipe off the traces." Tell this king who is the most famous ranger in Luoyang. ”

"Drama Meng!"

Looking at the back of Zhang Tang leaving in a hurry, Li Yunze was thoughtful.

"This is too obvious, it's like deliberately pointing clues to Ju Meng, something is wrong, something is wrong."

The game in Chang'an City has finally reached a turning point.

At the suggestion of Princess Guantao, the Queen Mother came forward to advise the Son of Heaven on the loss of the gold coins, saying, "The gold coins were made by the prince and have not been delivered to the Shaofu, which is still his responsibility." In that case, it is up to him to investigate the matter. ’

Liu Qi, who was not in good physical condition, although he sensed that something was wrong, he also thought that this was an opportunity to sharpen Li Yunze, so he responded to the boat.

As the holy decree was sent to Lunu City, this pot was finally thrown onto Li Yunze's broad and sturdy back.

Originally, everyone thought that Li Yunze would arrange for his confidant ministers to go to Luoyang City to investigate the matter thoroughly.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the incident deliberately happened here in Luoyang City, and it must be related to the powerful people in Luoyang.

But what no one expected was that Li Yunze actually came to Luoyang City in person!

Luoyang was originally Zhouyi, and it was the capital of the world for hundreds of years.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, after defeating Xiang Yu and throwing his body to the ends of the earth because he was afraid of his strong combat power, he set the capital here in Luoyang.

Although the capital was later moved to Chang'an City built by Xiao He, Luoyang was the first capital of the Han Dynasty, but no one will deny it.

Compared with Chang'an City, where almost the entire city is a palace, Luoyang is much more prosperous.

There are countless houses in the city, and the streets are criss-crossed, and they are extremely beautiful.

On the side of Chang'an City, a brick was thrown out and smashed into ten people, eight of whom were relatives of the emperor and meritorious nobles.

But here in Luoyang City, there are all three religions and nine streams, hundreds of schools of thought are everywhere, there is an endless stream of businessmen and tourists, and the streets are bustling and extremely prosperous.

Guanzhong in the west, Hebei in the north, Qilu in the east, Jingxiang Jiangdong in the south, Luoyang, which is located in the middle of the world, has extremely developed transportation.

The middle of the world belongs to China, and the saying that Luoyi is in the middle of China is really not wrong.

Walking on the crowded Luoyang Street, Li Yunze thought to himself, "Compared with being the national capital, Luoyang is obviously more suitable for being an economic center." ’

In this era, eighty percent of the population and economy were concentrated in the north, and the location of Luoyang was very suitable for being an economic transit center.

Unlike later generations, the southward movement of the economy led to the decline of Luoyang.

There are a lot of people on the streets of Luoyang, and there are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, and the position of the wall outside the shops is also an endless line of stalls.

Li Yunze looked around, and didn't see anyone from the yamen coming to drive away the stalls, let alone just take the vendors' goods and leave.

"The peddlers are pawns, leading carts and pulp sellers. Since ancient times, it has been a humble and normal profession. ”

When he sighed, a guard hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the court captain Zhang Gong said that there is something important to report." ”

Li Yunze came to Luoyang City in private, and it was Zhang Tang, the court lieutenant of Zhongshan State, who came to investigate the matter on the surface.

Zhang Tang's personality is calm, and since he sent someone to say it, there must be concrete and important progress.

Li Yunze nodded: "Go back to the station." ”

Because of the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, the local yamen in Luoyang will cooperate with Zhang Tang.

But they would never let their yamen out for Zhang Tang.

The reason is very simple, Zhang Tang is the court lieutenant of Zhongshan Kingdom, not the court lieutenant of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhang Tang can only do things in the post station.

Li Yunze returned to the post station and came to Zhang Tang's room, and saw Zhang Tang, who had always had a strained face, and stepped forward with a smile on his face and saluted, "King, I have found gold." ”

"Oh?"

Li Yunze was surprised when he said this: "So smooth? ”

"Yes."

Zhang Tang nodded with a smile, reflexively took out a gold coin from the wooden box on the case, handed it to Li Yunze, and explained, "There is a ranger who took the initiative to surrender and brought this gold coin. ”

Looking carefully at the gold coins in his hand, Li Yunze was immediately sure that it was indeed produced by the Zhongshan State Minting Bureau, and this kind of hydraulically stamped gold coin, only Zhongshan State had this technology in the entire Han Dynasty.

Playing with the gold coins in his hand, Li Yunze was thoughtful.

"Where did you get it, and who did the ranger belong to? Who did he accuse? ”

Faced with the inquiry, Zhang Tang, whose face was full of satisfaction, responded with a salute, "Back to the king's words, the ranger has already confessed." The one who colluded with the Shaofu Du Shui Cheng to steal the gold coins in the name of the shipwreck was the Luoyang giant drama Meng! ”
