"Second son, transfer troops from the city." Cheng Yu said.

Worried about leaking the news, the Yulin Army and the forbidden army in Luoyang City did not move lightly, and Xun Yu asked Huangfu Jian to transfer troops from other places.

But the time is too tight, and the guards of the Imperial City Mansion who are in the middle of the Emperor's Mansion still have one day to arrive.

At the moment, Zhang Lu obviously learned the news and ran away in advance.

Now that Zhang Lu has run away, Huangfu Jianchang has no other scruples, and said: "Transfer 2,000 people and search all around this mountain." ”

Cheng Yu responded, ordered someone to pass the order, and then looked at the mountain not far away, and said, "What about these people?" We're going to have to go up and copy this mountain. ”

Huangfu Jian sneered and said, "If Zhang Luzai is really difficult, since he has run away, just set it on fire." ”

Cheng Yu was stunned and stunned, he didn't expect it at all, but this method is really good, but it is a bit of a scoundrel.

Cheng Yu called a few more people over and quickly arranged.

It didn't take long for the so-called Wudoumi Sect's main altar to start walking everywhere, accompanied by various shouts, and it was instantly chaotic, and the crowd rushed up and down from the mountainside.

Huangfu Jian didn't know anything about this, and as time passed, he gradually became a little anxious, and said, "Isn't there any news about that Zhang Lu yet?" ”

Cheng Yu also urged many times, but still shook his head and said, "No." Obviously, Zhang Lu had been prepared, and as soon as he got the news, he fled without hesitation. ”

Huangfu Jian was a little strange, and said, "Can Zhang Lu really be willing to do it?" With such a big family business and an old mother, she threw it away so decisively and ran away? ”

Cheng Yu has also thought about it for a long time, and said: "He has to have a place to go after all, this is Luoyang, and the most convenient thing is to flee south, but along the way, the government will definitely issue sea fishing documents, how can he escape, where can he escape?" ”

Huangfu Jian couldn't think of it for a while, and gritted his teeth and said: "The list and account books must be in hand!" ”

This is the goal of this operation of the imperial court, and it must not be missed.

Cheng Yu kept receiving reports, and then ordered again one by one, and he was so busy that he barely had the opportunity to talk to Huangfu Jianchang.

Huangfu Jian looked at the position of the main altar, the fire was getting bigger, the crowd rushing down the mountain, estimating the timing of going up the mountain, turned his head sideways and said to Cheng Yu: "Later, let my brother carry two buckets of water, just to put out the fire, don't conflict with those believers." ”

Cheng Yu admired the cleverness that Huangfu Jian occasionally came up with, and said, "Okay." ”

Huangfu Jian looked at it for a long time, sat directly on the ground, took the newly painted mountain and forest map handed over by the guard, touched his chin, and looked for Zhang Lu's possible escape route.

It didn't take long for the Yulin Army to arrive and began to search all over the mountains, not letting go of a single tree or hole.

And the Huangfu Jianchang took the guards of the Imperial City Mansion, carrying two buckets of water, and roared up the mountain, shouting: "Fight the fire, get out of the way!" ”

The panicked believers, seeing that it was officers and soldiers, and carrying water, did not think much about it, and moved out of the way.

Cheng Yu persuaded with a 'kind' face: "The fire is getting bigger and bigger, it's too dangerous, everyone goes down the mountain in an orderly manner, and there is no delay." ”

Although some believers were worried about their master, they still reluctantly went down the mountain in the face of the fire.

Huangfu Jian rushed to the position of the main altar, saw the vigilant eyes of some people's 'believers', threw the bucket, and said directly: "Clean them up, and then search!" ”

The guards of the Imperial City Mansion, who were ready to attack, raised the short bow in their hands and shot out with a sigh.

Although these 'believers' were prepared, they couldn't stand the large number of people in the Imperial City Mansion, and they were quickly controlled in the midst of shouting.

Then the search began, and the emperor was not idle, but personally participated, eager to turn the altar over, and dig three feet into the ground to find the account books and lists he longed for.

"Captain, I've found a secret passage!" Not long after, a guard opened the secret door of the secret passage where Zhang Lu had escaped and said loudly.

Huangfu Jian opened his eyes and said, "Come a hundred people, chase me!" ”

Huangfu Jian took the lead and rushed into the dark corridor.

Cheng Yu was too late, and he didn't have time to persuade him, so he could only send another hundred people to follow, just in case.

"Did you find anything?" After a long time, Cheng Yu said loudly to the searching guards.

A military marquis ran over and said, "Mr. Qiyu, there is nothing useful. There is not much money, food, and treasures here, and all kinds of books are about the Tao of the Heavenly Master, and there are no account books and lists of those who have joined the sect. ”

Cheng Yu actually guessed it, nodded, and said, "Keep searching." ”

"Yes." The military marquis replied.

Cheng Yu no longer had hope in his heart, looked at the direction of Yongdao, and said secretly: I hope the second son can catch up with that Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu obviously had a big plan, coupled with the fact that he had already prepared to escape, this kind of confidential thing must be hidden tightly, and ordinary means are almost impossible.

On the other side, although Huangfu Jian was cautious in the dark corridor, he was also anxious, and kept speeding up, and soon came to the exit.

The exit had reached the bottom of the mountain, and Huangfu Jian observed it for a long time, and said loudly: "Spread out, search!" ”

Two hundred guards responded and quickly rushed downward.

In less than mid-air, a military marquis came to report: "Captain, there is no road or trace in other places, only a small pier is very conspicuous, and there are some traces, maybe they have left by boat." ”

Hearing this, Huangfu Jian went straight to the small pier.

Standing in front of the plank, looking at the faint footprints and the collision marks of the plank, he looked up left and right, and said, "Where does this river lead?" ”

Junhou said: "Luoshui, once you arrive in Luoshui, you can go to the east, west, north and south." That Zhang Lu may have other disguised identities, and with a little dissolution, he will easily escape. ”

Huangfu Jian snorted coldly and said, "He doesn't think about it!" Send a message to Shang Shutai, please send a sea fishing document, and you must catch Zhang Lu! ”

"Yes!" The military marquis replied.

After Huangfu Jian finished saying this, he had a headache.

Zhang Lu ran away, and the large amount of money and food hidden by the Five Doumi Sect, especially the list of those who joined the sect, would disappear forever, and the plans and goals set by the palace and Shang Shutai would be completely frustrated!

This kind of result, Huangfu Jianchang can't accept it!

After thinking about it, Huangfu Jian said: "Leave two people here to watch, and the others will go back with me." ”

He felt that the people left behind by Zhang Lu would not be completely useless, and they would definitely be able to torture useful clues!

At the same time, Shang Shutai had been anxiously waiting for news from Huangfu Jianchang.

And the palace, as always, is quiet.

Liu Xie was also in Yong'an Palace at this time, accompanying Liu Wei.

Liu Wei sat in front of the bed, looked at the little guy who was gradually getting better, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, touched the little guy's pale little face, and said softly: "Next time, see if you dare to come nonsense......

The little guy had just woken up, he was weak, he opened his small mouth, he didn't make a sound at all, and his little face was aggrieved.

Liu Wei brought over the medicine bowl and said, "Sleep after drinking." ”

The little guy nodded, and there was uneasiness on his little face, as if he really knew that he was afraid.

After Liu Wei finished feeding, he pressed the corners of the quilt and walked out quietly.

When he came to the door, Liu Wei saw Zuo Li excited, trotted over, and said, "Your Majesty, I found it, I found it!" ”

As he spoke, a few people brought behind him stepped forward with plates.

Liu Wei's eyes lit up, he reached out and took the top list, opened it and looked at it, but he raised his eyebrows with a quick sweep.

This top list has the Empress Dowager Dong, and then some old people in the palace.

These people often go back and forth between the palace and the palace of Chen Liu.

Then there are Shangshutai, Liucao and other large and small officials, these officials are involved in the taxation and military intelligence of the imperial court, and they are basically in a critical position!

Liu Wei slowly flipped through it and examined it carefully, there were many names that he was familiar with and unfamiliar with, including internal supervisors, officials, and everyone in the world, as well as famous Confucians in the government and the opposition.

Liu Wei threw it back after reading half of it, and then smiled with Liu Xie and said, "Brother Huang, do you want to take a look too?" ”

How dare Liu Xie, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Five Doumi Sect has ill intentions, please investigate thoroughly and punish severely." ”

Liu Wei looked at Liu Xie and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, you said, if the Lu clan is in the hands of others, and the location where Zhang Lu hid the money and grain is confessed on the way, he can completely touch it quietly, and monopolize the huge money and grain, especially this list, if you want to manipulate hundreds of officials, it is as easy as a hand......

Liu Xie heard the voice of Liu Bian's words, his heart suddenly tensed, and he hurriedly raised his hand, interrupted Liu Bian's words, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has concluded that my Han will never have such a rebellious minister and thief!" ”

Liu Wei took in his expression, smiled and pressed his hands, and said, "I just said casually, grandmother is old, don't let her get involved in anything anymore." My brother, I think it all over. Ancestors and grandchildren, I look forward to the end of filial piety. ”

Liu Xie's face was already oozing cold sweat, and his voice trembled: "Brother remember! ”

Liu Wei nodded slightly, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the Chongde Palace.

Liu Xie was in place, his lips were dry, and then he was shocked and hurriedly followed Liu Wei.

Liu Wei said as he walked: "This matter still has to be concealed from Shang Shutai, and a long message to Huangfu Jian, so that he can pretend to find it and report it to me." ”

"Yes." Pan Yin said.

Liu Wei walked for a while, and suddenly felt refreshed, and said: "Now, the money and food of the imperial court are enough for a while......

The money, grain, and treasures copied from Dong Zhuo, plus the five buckets of rice taught this time, far exceeded the ten years of taxes paid by the Han Dynasty!

With money and food in hand, Liu Wei is full of confidence and can let go of his hands and feet to do some things.

"Left chestnut,"

When he came to Chongde Palace, Liu Wei walked quickly, and said to Zuo Li: "Redraw a list, and some people who are very important to the 'New Deal' and are more troublesome will be handed over to Shang Shutai to deal with." The rest of the people are up to you, and you must be strictly interrogated and thoroughly investigated. ”

Zuo Li was overjoyed in his heart and said, "The villain leads the order." ”

After Liu Wei sat down, he took a sip of tea and said, "The Great Sima Mansion is going to keep an eye on it, and I have to know every move of the 'separation of military and government'." ”

Liu Wei sat on the chair, his eyes flashed, and he had already put aside the matter of the Wudou Mi Sect in his heart and began to think about next year.

Next year will be changed to the Yuan Jian'an, the implementation of the 'new deal' into the critical moment, whether it can be done, how much can be achieved, how much can be changed and the impact on future generations, will be determined by the success or failure of next year!

"Let's all go."

After thinking for a long time, Liu Wei took out a thick notebook and took out a pen while flipping it.

In the slight footsteps of Pan Yin, Zuo Li and others, Liu Wei slowly put pen to paper, revising and planning his original plan.

It was not until the next morning that Shang Shutai received the list sent by Huangfu Jianchang from outside the palace.

At this time, Shangshutai was already full of people.

Xun Yu, Liu Xie, Zhong Xuan, Xun You, Sima Jun, Wang Lang and Chen Gong.

"The account books were not found?" When Xun Yu was flipping through the list, Zhong Yu asked Cheng Yu, who came in person.

Cheng Yu raised his hand to Zhong Xuan and said, "Returning to Zhong Servant, not only did he not find the account book, but he also did not catch that Zhang Lu, even this list was interrogated." ”

Zhong Xuan frowned, this result was very different from what they expected.

Wang Lang interjected at this time and said, "In other words, that Zhang Lu had a plan, got out in advance, and escaped from the pursuit of the Imperial City Mansion?" ”

Cheng Yu was neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Yes." Judging from the current investigation, he has a great plan, he is not a simple missionary, he is deeply involved in the imperial court, and he is colluded with rebellion everywhere. ”

The people present were all different colors and quietly looked at each other.

They had all predicted before, but the development of things was still far beyond their expectations.

Xun You thought for a moment and said, "Then the Lu family is Zhang Lu's mother, doesn't she have anything to explain?" ”

Cheng Yu didn't speak, and glanced at Liu Xie quietly.

Liu Xie's face did not change, and he shook his head and said: "Zhang Lu also has a lot to hide from his mother, and the Lu family doesn't know the whole picture. ”

Xun You and Zhong Xuan are all human spirits, and they vaguely guessed something from Liu Xie's expressions and movements.

At this time, Sima Jun opened his mouth and said, "Actually, it's good that I haven't found it." ”

Chen Gong was puzzled and said, "What does Sima Gong mean by this?" The Five Doumi Sect colluded and rebelled, infiltrated the imperial court, if they can't be uprooted, how can we explain to Your Majesty? ”

Sima Jun sat there, motionless, and said calmly: "It's hard to explain if you find out, have you forgotten that Your Majesty once looked for the matter of burning?" There can't be a second time like this. ”

Zhong Xuan quickly understood and said, "What Sima Gong said is true. ”

Xun Yu also understood, he had already read the list, and made sure that there would be no big shock, handed the list to Sima Jun, and said, "The Criminal Department will work with Luoyang Mansion to arrest people." ”

Sima Jun and Chen Gong raised their hands in unison and said, "The lower officials obey the order." ”

Xun Yu's expression was more serious, and he said to Chen Gong: "What should be investigated must be investigated to the end, and it cannot be relaxed, but what should be loosened must be loosened." Especially in Luoyang and the nearby sects, Luoyang Mansion cannot be careless, cannot use force, and try to persuade as much as possible. Do you understand the meaning of Bencheng? ”

Chen Gong raised his hand and said, "Xia Guan understands." ”

There are five buckets of rice sect '100,000 people' near Luoyang City, if these people suddenly make a mistake, not only Luoyang will be shocked, but the entire Han will be shocked.

Xun Yu nodded slightly, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "This matter, we must end it as soon as possible, there are only a few days left at the end of the year, our energy is to end this year's affairs, and plan next year's affairs, especially the five-year plan, we must get Your Majesty's permission!" ”

"The subordinate officer receives the order!" The crowd raised their hands almost at the same time and responded in unison.

Compared with previous years, the palace was much more tolerant, but this tolerance gave them more pressure.

The 'New Deal' is difficult to block, it's not a matter of one or two days, but because it's not a day or two, the palace has reached an unacceptable level, and next year, it is bound to break the situation!
