Chapter 598 The Gold Case

"What did you say?"

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

"Your Majesty."

Zhang Tang, who saluted with his left hand, said again, "The convoy transporting money and goods sank while crossing the big river."

"Has the ship sunk?"

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

"Here."

".The convoy arrived at the other side of Mengjindu. It was getting late and the wind was blowing constantly on the river. Du Shuicheng, one of the three chief ministers who led the team, ignored the dissuasion of everyone and forcibly asked to cross the river to rest on the other side."

"Meng Jindu?"

Li Yunze interrupted Zhang Tang's words, "Didn't you mean to go to Fenglingdu? Why did you go 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. It is next to the official road to Hanguguan, which is very convenient to directly enter the pass.

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

"Your Majesty." Zhang Tang explained, "I heard from Du Shuicheng that on the way I heard that Fenglingdu was so windy that it was difficult to cross the river."

"I heard it on the road?"

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

"Here."

Zhang Tang responded, and then went on to say, "My lord, when the convoy got on the ferry boat to cross the river, it was completely dark and the wind was very strong on the river. The fleet gradually dispersed and disappeared without a trace. Shouting that the ship is sinking. Wait until the boarding

After reaching the shore, only the boat carrying the gold coins failed to come.After dawn, I searched everywhere, but it had already disappeared. "

"Hehe~~~"

Li Yunze shook his head in disdain, "It's a simple trick to cover one's eyes."

With so many ships in the fleet, it is very coincidental that only the ship carrying gold coins sank.

Obviously, they should go to Fenglingdu, but by such a coincidence, it was rumored that there was a strong wind at Fenglingdu, so they had to detour to Mengjindu.

We all know that it is getting dark, and there is still a strong wind on the river, so we have to rush across the river.

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

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

After pondering for a while, Li Yunze immediately ordered Zhang Tang, "Send someone quickly to control Nadu Shuicheng, he is a key person, don't let him commit suicide with eighteen knives in his back."

"Here."

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

Li Yunze shook his head, not taking this matter to heart.

It's just a little gold, what is outside the body is nothing.

There will be no shortage of daring and reckless people in any era, ruthless people who dare to tie their heads on their belts and rob the court of gold, which is really nothing serious.

It's just that it's obvious that Li Yunze slightly underestimated this matter.

The most intuitive display is that when the news was delivered to Chang'an City, some ministers soon expressed their opinions in the court. With this golden shipwreck
As a warning, the coin casting bureau was moved back to Chang'an City.

The emperor Liu Qi's first thought was that this incident was due to the money-making bureau in Li Yunze's hands, and there were pushers behind it!

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

His thoughts changed, he couldn't control his body, he raised his head and let out a soft sigh 'hiss~~~'

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

The beauty with a look of disappointment in her beautiful eyes saluted with a grunt in her throat, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

The virtuous king Li Yunze looked at the beautiful woman leaving, but what he thought in his heart was, wouldn't it be very dangerous if one day he met a ruthless character like the empress of Xixia?
But on second thought, in terms of my current physical fitness, it should be comparable to steel, breaking the imperial concubine's teeth.

Putting your mind to rest, a servant came to report, "Mr. Tingwei Zhang has something urgent to report."

"Could it be that Du Shuicheng was silenced?"

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

Zhang Tang paused, and deeply admired, "Sage is nothing more than the king, there is news to report that Du Shuicheng is guilty of dereliction of duty, and he went out at night and threw himself into the water."

"Heh~~~"

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

"I also feel that this matter is strange, and I am afraid that someone is manipulating this matter behind the scenes."

"I lost the gold first, and then used this matter to attack the king, and moved the money making bureau to Chang'an City, so that the king lost the right to make money. This is just the beginning, and I will use this matter to make a fuss later, and keep attacking This king, thus reducing the impression of this king in the eyes of the emperor and the queen mother
. "

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

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Tang saluted with a red face, "I am willing to go to Luoyang to thoroughly investigate this matter for the king!"

"It's useless." Li Yunze waved his hand with a smile. "You are the Tingwei of Zhongshan Kingdom. If you go to Luoyang, who will talk to you? No way, it will make you feel ashamed and throw yourself into the water."

Zhang Tang saluted respectfully, "I am willing to go through fire and water for the king, and I will do my best!"

"Loyalty is commendable."

Li Yunze gave a word of approval, then returned to the main topic, "Tell me, why don't you go to Fenglingdu and go to Mengjindu instead?"

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

"Yes."

Li Yunze smiled, "It's impossible for the government and the army to do such things, because they can't clean up the traces. Tell me, who is the most famous ranger in Luoyang."

"Jumeng!"

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

"It's too obvious. It's like deliberately pointing the clue to Jumeng. It's not right, it's not right."

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

At the suggestion of Princess Guantao, the Empress Dowager suggested to the emperor about the loss of the gold coin that "the gold coin was made by Prince Sheng, and it is still his responsibility that it has not been delivered to the Shaofu."That being the case, it is up to him to investigate the matter. '

Liu Qi, who is not in good health, although he sensed that something was wrong, he also thought that this was an opportunity to sharpen Li Yunze, so he went along with it.

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

Everyone originally thought that Li Yunze would arrange for his confidant ministers to go to Luoyang City to thoroughly investigate the matter.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the incident deliberately chose to happen here in Luoyang City, so it must have something to do with powerful people in Luoyang.

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

Luoyang was originally the city of Zhou, and it has been the capital of the world for hundreds of years.

In the early Han Dynasty, Poppi Liu defeated Xiang Yu, and because he was afraid of his powerful fighting power, scattered his body and threw him to the ends of the world, and then set the capital here in Luoyang.

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

Compared with Chang'an City, where almost the whole city is full of palaces, Luoyang is much more prosperous.

There are countless houses in the city, and the streets are vertical and horizontal, which is extremely beautiful.

On the other side of Chang'an City, a brick was thrown out, and out of ten people were thrown, eight of them 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 are endless streams of merchants and tourists, and the streets are bustling and extremely prosperous.

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

The middle of the world belongs to China, and the middle of China belongs to Luoyi, which is really true.

Walking on the streets of Luoyang full of tourists, Li Yunze thought to himself, "Compared to being a national capital, Luoyang is obviously more suitable to be an economic center." '

In this era, [-]% of the population and economy are concentrated in the north, and Luoyang's location is very suitable as an economic transit center.

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

There are many people on the streets of Luoyang. There are various shops lined up on both sides of the street, and there are endless street stalls outside the shops against the wall.

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

"Trafficking men and walking pawns, leading carts and selling oats. It has been a humble and normal occupation since ancient times."

When he was feeling emotional, a guard hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, Ting Wei Zhang Gong said that he has something important to report."

Li Yunze came to Luoyang City privately, and the one who came to investigate this matter publicly was Zhang Tang, the Tingwei of Zhongshan Kingdom.

Zhang Tang's personality is calm, since he sent someone to report, it must have made concrete and important progress.

Li Yunze nodded, "Go back to the station."

Because of the imperial decree of the emperor, the local yamen in Luoyang will cooperate with Zhang Tang in handling affairs.

But they would never give up their yamen to Zhang Tang.

The reason is very simple, Zhang Tang is the Tingwei of Zhongshan Kingdom, not the Tingwei of Dahan.

Therefore, Zhang Tang can only work in the station.

Li Yunze returned to the inn, came to Zhang Tang's room, and saw Zhang Tang who always had a sullen face, stepped forward with a smile on his face and saluted, "Your Majesty, you have found gold."

"Oh?"

Li Yunze who said this was very surprised, "So smooth?"

"Yes."

Zhang Tang nodded with a smile, turned around and took out a gold coin from the wooden box on the table and handed it to Li Yunze, and explained, "There was a ranger who voluntarily surrendered and brought this gold coin."

Taking a closer look at the gold coins in his hand, Li Yunze was able to confirm immediately that they were indeed produced by the Zhongshan National Coin Mining Bureau. This kind of hydraulic stamping of gold coins is only available in the Zhongshan State in the entire Han Dynasty.

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

"Where did he get it? Who did the Ranger belong to? Who did he report?"

Faced with the questioning, Zhang Tang, who was full of satisfaction on his face, saluted and responded, "Returning to the king, the ranger has already confessed everything. It is the giant bandit of Luoyang who colluded with Shui Cheng, the capital of the Shaofu, to steal the gold coins in the name of the sinking ship." Drama Meng!"
