On the outskirts of Luoyang, in a manor.
Several large boxes that were seized were placed on the ground. After being opened, they suddenly glowed with golden light.
Reaching out and picking up a gold coin, Li Yunze fell into deep thought as he looked at the clear writing on it: "Lunu was made in the sixth year of the emperor's reign" and "the coin is worth 10,000 yuan".
This time, things went so smoothly that it was a bit weird.
"Your Majesty."
Zhang Tang stepped forward and saluted and said, "The total number of gold coins lost this time is 4,355, and they are all here."
Throwing the gold coins back into the box, Li Yunze asked, "Have you asked me how they did it?"
"Your Majesty."
Zhang Tang immediately explained, "According to the person who surrendered, it was Ju Meng, a giant bandit from Luoyang, who colluded with the Shaofu Du Shuicheng inside and outside. When the boat was sailing on the river and the sky was dark, he quietly drove the boat away and disguised it as a sunken ship. .”
Rubbing his chin, Li Yunze asked again, "What did the person who surrendered say?"
"He said that he was furious when he saw the court and strictly inspected him. He was frightened and feared that something would happen, so he voluntarily surrendered to avoid death."
Li Yunze looked around calmly and said, "Here is"
"Your Majesty, this is the manor of Han Fu, a wealthy businessman in Luoyang." After a pause, Zhang Tang explained, "This Han Fu and that Ju Meng are close friends of life and death."
When things have reached this point, the context is basically very obvious.
Meng is greedy for money and colludes with the Shaofu Du Shuicheng inside and outside to make a fortune.
Later, in order to avoid the court's pursuit, the stolen goods were hidden in a friend's manor.
If someone hadn't come forward, I might not have been able to find him.
Li Yunze looked at the gold coins noncommittally and said nothing.
But here Zhang Tang couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Your Majesty, the case has been cleared up. I ask your Majesty to order the arrest of the giant bandit Ju Meng!"
At this time, Zhang Tang was very excited.
Such a major case that attracted the attention of both the government and the public was solved in his hands, and he also captured the world-famous giant bandit Ju Meng. This reputation and qualifications are really hard to come by.
Li Yunze still didn't speak, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The sound of messy footsteps sounded, and a group of guards escorted an old man in splendid clothes to Li Yunze.
"Let me tell you clearly that I was wronged~~~"
The old man with runny nose and tears thought Li Yunze was Zhang Tang. After all, his extraordinary magnanimity was there, and everyone around him seemed to have Li Yunze as the center.
"Are you Han Fu? Get up and talk."
Looking at the old man in front of him, Li Yunze smiled, "The gold coins stolen from the imperial court appeared in your manor. Do you know about this?"
"Replying to your words, I really don't know." Han Fu explained pitifully, "I have many manors outside Luoyang City, and my business is very busy on weekdays. I may not be able to visit this manor even once every ten months. .In addition to servants and maids, there are also
No one there. "
Zhang Tang couldn't help scolding him, "You're talking nonsense. This has already been stolen, and you're still making excuses!"
Han Fu was so frightened that his tears couldn't stop flowing, and he repeatedly complained and complained.
He is really afraid.
Ordinary theft cases are fine, but this time it was the court's money that was lost. If it was serious, it would be enough to kill the clan directly.
He is also filled with hatred now. Which bastard is trying to harm him? If he can find it, he will be torn into pieces!
Zhang Tang looked at Li Yunze. As long as the king gave the order, he would immediately capture Han Fu and the whole Ju Meng family.
However, Li Yunze smiled and said to Han Fu, "If you want to wash away your grievances, then let Ju Meng go to the inn to find someone. If you can't see him within three days, then you have to take up the matter." .”
After saying that, Li Yunze turned around and walked out of the manor.
On the way back to the inn, Zhang Tang squirmed awkwardly on horseback.
Seeing this, Li Yunze smiled and asked, "Can't you understand?"
Hearing this, Zhang Tang suddenly felt relieved, saluted Li Yunze and said, "Please clear up my doubts, Your Majesty."
"Don't you think things are going too smoothly?"
Li Yunze said with a smile, "As soon as we arrived in Luoyang City, someone took the lead, and then the stolen goods were taken away. This does not look like a major case that shocked the world."
"Since Ju Meng can steal gold, he must not be a fool. Those who know where the gold coins are hidden must also be the confidants among their confidants. When such people are at the cusp of the crisis, they must strictly watch. How can we give him a chance to become the leader?"
"Even if you run out and commit suicide, you still know that the person is missing, so you should move your things, right?"
Zhang Tang replied with some dissatisfaction, "Your Majesty, that Ju Meng may not be a smart man."
"It's possible."
Li Yunze nodded, "But I always believe that there must be a monster when something goes wrong. If you can look at things beyond the scope of this case, you will naturally see things differently wherever you look."
Zhang Tang looked sideways and listened quietly.
"Do you know who Ju Meng is?"
"He is known as a hero and is the best among the knights." Zhang Tang naturally knew something about the famous Ju Meng.
“That’s just the surface, there’s a deeper meaning.”
Li Yunze knew very well that Ju Mengnai was the boss of the Black Society in the North, and he was also the most famous boss in the world.
With just one word, he can accomplish many things in many places.
Just like during the Seven Kings Rebellion a few years ago, Ju Meng took the initiative to seek refuge with Zhou Yafu, which made Zhou Yafu extremely happy.
It is believed that if Meng's heart is in Chang'an, then Luoyang must be fine.
Not only that, the black knights from all over the country can be used by the court.
This kind of use does not mean to let the rangers go to the battlefield. Letting them go to the battlefield is nonsense and can only hinder them.
In fact, their role is mainly focused on gathering information, leading the way as guides, and encouraging people's aspirations.
"This is someone who is guiding and arranging for me to tamper with Ju Meng. If Ju Meng is tampered with, it will inevitably cause commotion among the rangers from all over the world. When the time comes, the blame will naturally fall on my back."
Li Yunze looked at the bustling street in front of him and said leisurely, "Moreover, Ju Meng has an irreconcilable relationship with Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and other nobles. As long as he continues to cry out for injustice, I will have to confront the military meritorious group. This is also the important purpose of the leader." "
Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Zhang Tang's back.
He only thought about solving this big case and becoming famous, and he didn't even think about how much trouble it would bring to the king.
"You must know that the emperor of Chang'an City is really interested in interests."
Li Yunze sighed lightly, but did not finish what he said next.
During the Seven Kings Rebellion, Liu Qi even had his close minister Chao Cuo cut in half in order to quell the rebellion!
The emperor is ruthless and only has interests in his eyes.
If he were to face off against the Xungui Group, no matter how optimistic Liu Qi was about him, he would inevitably give up.
The reason is also very simple. The Xungui Group was able to launch a mutiny and massacre the entire Lu family and the Young Emperor's brothers. Naturally, they can do it again when Li Yunze comes to power.
As a profit animal, the emperor wanted the inheritance of the Han Dynasty to be stable and orderly, to defeat the Xiongnu and dominate the world, not to have unrest.
"The person behind the scenes set up this situation." Li Yunze frowned slightly and sighed softly, "He's quite capable, but it's a pity."
If Li Yunze couldn't understand the story behind the scenes, and happily used the clues sent to him to deal with Ju Meng, thinking that he had made great achievements in solving the case, the result would only be that he missed the big position.
And this is the ultimate goal of the people behind the scenes in carefully setting up this situation.
Here in the Han Dynasty, you can't offend the nobles under any circumstances, because they really dare to rebel.
If you want to change this situation, you can only wait for the new generation of generals to grow up with their military exploits against the Huns, and take away the military power of the older generation and sweep it into the garbage heap of history.
Early the next morning, there were many men strolling around with weapons in their arms outside the inn.
Immediately, a burly man with sharp eyes walked straight into the inn.
"Luoyang Opera Meng, come to pay a visit to Ambassador Zhang!"
The strong man's voice was loud, and his roar in the station was like thunder.
A large number of guards from the Zhongshan Kingdom nervously guarded all areas of the inn, fearing that the people in front of them would jump over the wall and hurt the king.
Zhang Tang walked out of the room and nodded to Ju Meng, "Come with me."
He led Ju Meng all the way to Li Yunze's room and motioned to him to salute.
The expressionless Ju Meng simply stepped forward and saluted, "Luoyang Ju Meng, pay homage to Ambassador Zhang."
"Where is Commander Zhang?"
Li Yunze, who was smiling, stretched out his hand and nodded to Zhang Tang, who was standing beside him, "He is Commander Zhang."
Ju Meng looked doubtfully at Zhang Tang, who was standing aside like a servant. When he turned back to look at Li Yunze, there was already a hint of understanding and disbelief in his eyes.
Zhang Tang spoke up to clear up his wife's doubts, "Your Majesty is here, why don't you be polite?"
'really. '
Ju Meng's heart was filled with fear, and he immediately saluted Li Yunze and said, "I didn't know that it would be a death penalty in the presence of the king."
"I have long admired the king's reputation for going out to defeat the Xiongnu. When I first heard the news, I immediately drank wine and praised him! I just wish I could not walk under the king and kill the Xiongnu!"
Ju Meng is able to achieve the position of the leader of the Black Society, and his emotional intelligence is naturally not low.
I don’t know if these words are true or not, but they obviously livened up the atmosphere.
Well, beating the Xiongnu was not only the idea of the court and the emperor, but also among the Han people.
Li Yunze smiled slightly and motioned for Ju Meng to sit down and talk.
When the actors were seated, Li Yunze said to Wang Zha, "Did you know that someone wants to plot against you until you die?"
Ju Meng's eyes immediately focused, and he cupped his fists and saluted Li Yunze, "Please tell me, Your Majesty, who wants Ju's life?"
"You have to investigate this yourself." Li Yunze shook his head slightly. "But there should be traces. Whoever can benefit the most after your death will be the most suspicious. If I am not wrong, this person You should be among your peers."
Li Yunze then told the whole story of what he had deduced, especially the specific choice of Luoyang, the fact that someone claimed to be Ju Meng's subordinate, and the fact that the stolen gold coins were found at the home of Ju Meng's friend, etc.
"These methods can only be used by those with great power here."
After he finished speaking, he saw Ju Meng, clenching his hands into fists, and read out a name through gritted teeth.
"Guo Xie!!!"
