Chapter 552 Luo Tingye’s arrangements
Feng Jizhong's eyes were full of worry: "Your Majesty, didn't you give Marquis Xuanwen the military talisman? The governor of Minzhou has been protecting him. Some of them have soldiers and horses, so everything should be fine, right?"

Luo Tingye felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, "Let the people from the Supervision Department find a way to send a message to the governor of Minzhou, asking him to temporarily take over Liu Bian's position as governor and take over Xuzhou's troops. In order to prevent unexpected changes , allowing him to enter Xuzhou with three thousand soldiers."

"Yes."

At dawn, Yuan Li told Jiang Qian everything he had learned about last night.

"The governor of Minzhou is stationed ten miles outside the city. He should have arrived by now. If anything happens, you can ask him to help."

Yuan Li also conveyed the emperor's decree last night and looked at Jiang Qian with a hint of envy.

The imperial envoys nearby who inspected Yu Yushi did not receive the same treatment as him. Even King Yuzhang, His Majesty was not so nervous.

After all, people who have lived and died with His Majesty are different in His Majesty's heart.

Jiang Qian was stunned for a moment and then raised the corner of his mouth slightly. The emperor was not a mother-in-law and warned him like this. I am afraid it was because of Amiao and the princess.

Jiang Qian, who originally wanted to take advantage of it, suddenly changed his mind.

"Master Liu and the others are so anxious to take action, which also shows that they have done many evil things behind their backs. We can catch them all this time, and we can also clean up Xuzhou's officialdom."

Yuan Li and Hong Li looked at him in surprise.

Didn't he say not long ago that he would take his time? Why did he become so eager all of a sudden?

But this played into Yuan Li's wish. He had a grudge against the officials in Xuzhou. Several of his men died in Xuzhou. Therefore, he had a sworn feud with the officials in Xuzhou. He would never take things slowly.

Jiang Qian suddenly thought of something, "Liu Bian is a cautious and careful person. If you and I really died in the explosion, the court will definitely investigate to the end, and will not let Xuzhou go. What makes him take such a risk? I always feel that He must have other plans behind his back."

Hong Li also said: "I also find it strange. I always feel that Mr. Liu is quite stupid. No matter how clean his hands and feet are, the incident happened in Xuzhou. If something goes wrong, he will not be able to escape. Didn't you say before that he is a very good person?" A smart person? But I don’t look smart either.”

Jiang Qian looked at Yuan Li's face and said, "So something must have happened that forced him to take risks. He would rather risk offending the court than take action at this time."

Jiang Qian didn't think he was so hated.

There is only one answer.

"Yuan Li, did you do something to anger them?"

Yuan Li touched his nose and chose to tell the truth under Jiang Qian's death gaze.

"The Ministry of Supervision learned that there is a small iron mine in Xuzhou, which has been mined for many years, but the government does not have any records. It is the Liu family who is in charge of the iron mine. Liu Bian once did iron business with the Huns. ?But that was all a few years ago.”

"Liu Bian was so bold and dared to cooperate with the Huns."

Since Yuan Li joined the Supervision Department, he has long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

"Not only iron tools, but also salt, cloth, grain, etc., they have traded privately. It's just that there has been a lot less in the past two years, but there must have been a lot before."

Jiang Qian said: "I found some evidence of smuggling when I was in Yangzhou before, and the quantity was large. Even if I don't know where it went, it could have been sent there." "It could be the Xiongnu, or it could be the Xianbei. Anyway, it's all smuggling." Business."

"No wonder His Majesty has repeatedly attacked Jiangnan. At first I thought it was for food and salt, but now it seems that they are more courageous than that."

Yuan Lidao: "There are many more besides these. The iron ore matter is something Liu Bian kept secret. However, the Supervision Department has made trouble in Xuzhou several times before, and he has always been cautious. Maybe he will think that we have found an iron ore." , the reason you just mentioned for him to take the risk is all I can think of is this."

Other evidence is not as deadly as iron ore.

Jiang Qian's expression changed several times after hearing what he said: "In this way, it can be explained. Is he planning to kill two birds with one stone? Not only will he get rid of you, but I will also be able to drown the iron ore issue."

Yuan Li's expression changed drastically and he stood up suddenly, "My lord, what you mean is that he wants to take advantage of this chaos to destroy the iron ore and the evidence of the iron ore's crime."

Jiang Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Explosives can kill you and me, and can also destroy the entire iron mine. As long as there is no substantive evidence, there is no way to convict him just based on the speculation of your Supervision Department. Even if After discovering the mined iron ore, he could just find someone to blame."

"Since the first explosion was caused by King Yuzhang, after the incident, even if the people in the court were angry, they would not be able to conduct a thorough investigation, because if they were not careful, they might involve King Yuzhang. Now King Yuzhang has just He has taken refuge in the emperor, and if the emperor pushes him out, it will be tantamount to pushing him to the opposite side."

However, all this is just a guess, but the possibility of this guess is very strong.

Just in case.

Jiang Qian asked Yuan to immediately inform the governor of Minzhou and ask him to take two thousand soldiers to the iron mines and leave one thousand soldiers outside the city in case of unexpected events.

"Master, you only have so few people around you. What if they really take action?" Hong Li couldn't help but worry when he saw that he had left everyone outside.

"They are planning to use explosives. They will not leave too many people around. These people alone should be enough."

Early in the morning, Liu Bian led officials from Xuzhou to the city gate and waited for about half an hour before seeing people from the Supervision Department appear.

Yuan Li was sweating profusely and looked as if he had been running around all night.

Liu Bian saw that there were only ten guards around him, and the smile on his face became much more sincere.

Xuzhou Sima's psychological quality was not as good as Liu Bian's. Even though he was smiling, the hatred in his eyes was unabashedly revealed.

Somehow, Yuan Li actually admired Xuzhou Sima.

This person is not difficult to guess at all. It will definitely save a lot of trouble during the investigation, and people always tend to sympathize with the weak.

This Xuzhou Sima didn't know that he was choked to death. They would be able to rest easy if things turned out well. If he failed, everyone in his family would be dead.

"Master Yuan came a long way, traveled a long distance, and worked hard."

"It's not hard work, I'm afraid some people don't want to see me." Yuan Li showed his trademark evil smile.

Liu Bian and the officials behind him trembled one after another, and some did not dare to look directly at him.
