Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 639 Smuggling Under the Cover of Sand Pirates
Breath of His Majesty!
Wang Mang entered Yunzhong City before the gate of Yunzhong City was closed. As soon as he entered Yunzhong City, Feng Tang in the city guard's mansion sensed Wang Mang's breath.

Feng Tang is the general summoned by Wang Mang, and it is coherent with Wang Mang's aura. The two sides can connect with consciousness over a long distance, so Feng Tang can feel Wang Mang's aura. The reason for Don's feelings.

City of Blue Waves?

As the order of the cloud, Feng Tang has also received some news about the city of blue waves recently. It is rumored that there is a treasure in the city of blue waves. Countless people on the grassland are rushing to the city of blue waves. There are even rumors that there will be a future The eagle that has dominated the grassland for centuries.

Feng Tang originally dismissed these rumors, but now that he felt the news of Wang Mang, his mind turned, and he suddenly realized that there might be something wrong with these rumors.

"Chen Feng Tang sees His Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, Long live, Long live!"

Just as he was thinking, Feng Tang suddenly felt Wang Mang's aura clearly, and when he looked up, he saw Wang Mang leading two people into his room. Feng Tang didn't want to push the Jinshan down the jade pillar, so he knelt down to pay respects.

Wang Mang signaled Feng Tang to get up and said, "Feng Tang, I am here for a private visit in a micro-service, outsiders don't know, are you trying to tell everyone that I appeared in Yunzhong City by making such a loud noise?"

Feng Tang quickly denied it: "Your Majesty, I have a public heart and absolutely no other meaning."

"I don't have any other meaning, why don't you hurry up." Wang Mang said.

Feng Tang stood up in embarrassment, looked at the two people beside Wang Mang who were also looking at him, and was stunned. He felt a familiar aura from these two people, and one of them seemed quite familiar.

Wang Mang sat at the head seat, Feng Tang hurriedly brought tea, and said: "Your Majesty came here in private, but Feng Tang failed to meet him from a distance, it will be a death penalty."

"You're not finished, you said that no one will know when I come this time, so don't say any more about this matter." Wang Mang said: "I ask you, how is the current situation in the city of blue waves."

"According to the spies' reports, many people came to the city of blue waves, and there were many rumors that were not true or false. Feng Tang could not confirm the truth of these rumors, and it was difficult to report them to His Majesty." Feng Tang said.

"What's going on in the city of blue waves recently?" Wang Mang asked.

"Recently, the city of blue waves seems to be calm, but in fact, the city is already raging with storms." Feng Tang said: "I deeply feel that there may be major events in the city of blue waves, so I ordered a large number of spies to sneak into the city of blue waves and report to me at any time. After all, I came to Yunzhong City not long ago, and there are not many people available under my command, so the situation is limited, if your Majesty wants to know the details of the city of blue waves, I am afraid that I will go to Dingbei City to find General Meng Tian."

"I will look for Meng Tian myself." Wang Mang said, "You specifically mentioned Meng Tian to me because you have a problem with him?"

"No." Feng Tang shook his head and said: "General Meng Tian has guarded the border for many years, and he has made great contributions. If the general hadn't been here, this cloud city would have changed hands. , and sent thousands of troops to use, I am very grateful."

"You two can get along well." Wang Mang said, but he knew in his heart that Feng Tang had a conflict with Meng Tian, ​​but he didn't know if it was a real conflict or a fake conflict for Wang Mang to see.

"Feng Tang, I heard that you sent some troops to clear up the sand bandits around Yunzhongcheng?" Wang Mang said suddenly.

"Yes." Feng Tang nodded and said: "Yunzhong City is far away in the west of Daqin, and the supplies are scarce. It seems that it is because of the lack of products, but Feng Tang thinks that most of the reasons should be due to the lack of business travel. The lack of prosperity in Yunzhong City is definitely not the reason for the lack of products in Yunzhong City, it is all superficial reasons, and the deep-seated reason is because of the rampant sand robbers around Yunzhong City, or the rampant smuggling under the cover of sand robbers."

"Smuggling?" Wang Mang frowned.

"Yes, smuggling." Feng Tang said: "Yunzhong City is located at the intersection of Daqin and the Grassland. Here you can see the customs of the Central Plains and the wilderness of the Grassland. It is the intersection of the Central Plains and Grassland products. The merchants are engaged in circulation business. , and here, they can sell the pig iron and tea produced in the Central Plains to the grassland, and they can also buy and sell the beef and mutton from the grassland or even cattle and sheep to the Central Plains, not to mention the various rare treasures among them. If the business is done well, Yunzhong City can become the largest city in the western part of Daqin, but because of the rampant sand robbers, the business roads of Yunzhong City are almost cut off, and when the business roads of Yunzhong City are cut off, all kinds of grassland materials But from the surroundings of Yunzhong City, bypassing Yunzhong City and entering the Central Plains, does your Majesty think this is strange?"

"How did you find out?" Wang Mang said.

"I walked all the way when I came to Yunzhongcheng, and I listened all the way. I knew everything I should know, and I knew something I shouldn't know." Feng Tang said.

"Including smuggling?" Wang Mang said.

"Yes." Feng Tang said bitterly: "Your Majesty, do you know that the loss in taxation of Daqin is no less than one million taels of silver every year just for smuggling?"

"Does Meng Tian know these things?" Wang Mang asked.

Feng Tang didn't speak, but Wang Mang nodded and said: "I understand, this is the difference between you and Meng Tian, ​​so from what you can see, how much Meng Tian participated in the smuggling."

"There are not many people involved in the general's house, but many children in the general's family are involved." Feng Tang said silently: "I want to ask the general to govern the family with a fair heart, but the family and the country are in a difficult situation for the general. I can't do it. After persuading the general, he used the people assigned by the general to clean up the sand bandits around Yunzhong City. Now more than a dozen sand bandits running rampant around Yunzhong City have been cleared. It will not take long before there will be a real The Sand Pirates appeared."

"You are forcing Meng Tian to make a choice." Wang Mang said.

"That's right." Feng Tang said: "It's rare to have both in the world, and the general should make a choice."

Wang Mang looked at Bai Qi and Cheng Buzhi and said, "What do you think?"

"Just kill it." Bai Qi said indifferently: "Your Majesty ordered that Bai Qi go here to take Meng Tian's head."

White up!

Feng Tang looked shocked, he looked at Bai Qi in shock, Bai Qi was his senior, like a thunderbolt, the name of the killing god has been passed down through the ages, this person is also His Majesty's general?
Cheng Bushi shook his head and said: "There must be a reason for killing people. Even if you want to kill people, you have to ask questions before killing people. Killing people without knowing why is easy to stir up civil uprising."

"Whoever dares to change the people will be killed!" Bai Qi still had a face full of indifference.

Wang Mang was suddenly helpless, asking these two was almost tantamount to asking for nothing, seeing Feng Tangzheng looking at them curiously, he said: "One of these two is Bai Qi, and the other is Cheng Buzhi, you should have heard about them. Name, just like you, they are all my generals."

White up!

I don't know the way!
Feng Tang was sure he had guessed in his heart, but he couldn't hide his shock. He bowed to the two of them and said, "Feng Tang has seen the two seniors!"

Bai Qi nodded indifferently, while Cheng Bushi smiled and said, "I've heard about you along the way, you are very good, and you are doing well in Yunzhong City."

After the ceremony was over for the three of them, Wang Mang also made a decision, and said, "I still decide to meet the Marquis of Dingbei first, where is Meng Tian?"
