The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

However, Xie Nan was not very talented. After graduating in the same year as Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, there were too many talents in that year, so Xie Nan did not join the military camp.

But it was because some people were smarter and less sociable, so they were sent by Gu Yong to the bank as the captain.

The thing about the loss of money this time was that Xie Nan led his own team to escort it, and it was lost in the waters of Yuzhang County.

Xu You gave a general idea, but he couldn't explain the specifics to Liu Zheng in detail.

After Liu Zheng listened, he immediately passed on the subject Xie Nan.

"Let that Xie Nan come and see me!"

Liu Zheng immediately gave Xu You and the others an order, and they didn't dare to neglect, and they quickly went down to pass on the order.

Because Xie Nan lost the money from the bank, he is currently being held guilty and is being held in Jianye's sky prison, waiting to be dealt with.

So when Liu Zheng sent someone to pass him on, they came very quickly.

Xie Nan is not very old, he looks about eighteen or nineteen years old. After all, he has just graduated from a military academy, so this age is considered normal.

After meeting Liu Zheng, Xie Nan was a little apprehensive. As a student of the military academy, although it was not the first time Xie Nan saw Liu Zheng, it was the first time he saw Liu Zheng because of his guilt. He was afraid of Liu Zheng. punishment.

Such a big thing happened, and 2000 million yuan was lost. Even if they thanked the family, they might not be able to make up so much money, so if Liu Zheng really wanted to pursue this matter, he might only have a dead end .

"The last general, Xie Nan, Captain of the Changsha County Qianzhuang Guards, see Your Majesty!"

"Get up and tell me what's going on."

Liu Zheng glanced at Xie Nan, there was no anger on his face, just a little cold, but he wanted to know the specifics of this incident from Xie Nan.

Seeing that Liu Zheng asked directly, Xie Nan didn't dare to hide any details at the moment, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and told Liu Zheng about the incident of the money being robbed this time.

It's easy to say, Xie Nan and others led a team of 20 people from Changsha, passing through Yichun County, and then to Poyang County.

Then switch to waterways and use boats to go down the water from the water, so that the speed can be greatly reduced and the transportation is more convenient.

After all, the entire south is now Liu Zheng's territory. Although there are still some small water thieves on the river, they have no way to survive when they meet Liu Zheng's navy. The watershed is frequently patrolled.

This has led to the fact that the waterway is actually very safe. After all, the caravan under Liu Zheng's command is much more prosperous than the businesses in other places, mainly because of the existence of the waterway.

Two days ago, Xie Nan set off from Poyang County with a team of 20 people by boat, intending to reach Jianye directly by using the water flow, and put all the money under escort in Jianye's treasury.

It's just that when the fleet arrived at Danyang, there was a sudden gust of wind on the water surface, and a big wave turned over for a while, overturning the fleet of Xie Nan and others.

Xie Nan and the others all fell into the water, and when they came to their senses, they went ashore to look for the money on the boat. trace.

The 2000 million money was lost like this.

Xie Nan and the others turned pale with shock, and immediately reported the matter, so that Xu You and the others reported the matter to Liu Zheng.

After Liu Zheng heard the news, he also frowned. This matter was so weird that even he really didn't find any clues for a while.

"Are you sure, there are really no five baht coins in the water?"

"It's true. My brothers searched all over, but they didn't find any coins under the water."

"Okay, you stay here for now."

After listening to Xie Nan's description, Liu Zheng once again looked at the several assistant ministers around him.

"What do you guys think about this matter?"

8Chapter 17 The River Demon

The assistant ministers glanced at each other.

Shi Xie took the initiative to stand up and expressed his guess.

"Your Majesty, the boat suddenly encountered a strong wind on the water surface. This is a sorcery. The money may have been swept away by the river monster."

As soon as Shi Xie said his guess, he immediately got the nods of the other three people.

Because they have no clue at all, they can only agree with this superstition.

In their age, there were some superstitions, because there is no science, many things cannot be explained, and when encountering things beyond their own knowledge, they will push in the direction of superstition.

After Liu Zheng heard their proposal, he didn't blame them.After all, Liu Zheng also knows that there are still some ghosts and gods in this era.

Not only them, even the emperor, often believe in ghosts and gods.

Belief in visions of heaven and earth, and auspiciousness from heaven are all superstitions.

They believe it, and are quite sure of it.

Naturally, Liu Zheng would not overturn their statement.

After all, Liu Zheng had to explain it clearly to them, and some things in it were quite difficult, and he couldn't explain it clearly for a while.

And even if Liu Zheng told them, they might not believe it.

But in Liu Zheng's heart, he didn't believe in the ghosts and gods they said.

He knew that there must be something hidden in the disappearance of these money.

It's just that he doesn't have enough evidence and clues to overthrow their claims.

Since there were no clues, Liu Zheng didn't bother with this matter any more. He just told them to go down and pay close attention temporarily, seal off the scene of the crime, and temporarily detain all the people involved in the case.

Liu Zheng intends to handle this matter himself.

For those who dare to break ground on the head of Tai Sui, Liu Zheng must show him some color and find out the truth of this matter.

After a busy day, he finally had some free time.

He got up from the chair, stretched himself, and asked the eunuch beside him what time it was, and the little yellow door replied that it was almost time for dinner.

Liu Zheng nodded, drove out of the study, and went straight to the harem.

It hasn't been long since he returned to Jianye, and he hasn't spared time to spend time with his family.

So taking advantage of some time now, he decided to have a good meal with his family.

Although these women in his harem usually live in the same courtyard.

But Liu Zheng made a rule that the family should stay together as much as possible when eating.

This is such a short period of time that can promote communication between them and cultivate their relationship.

Because Liu Zheng didn't have many concubines in the harem, they got along fairly well.

Some people were friends before, such as Cai Yao and Zhang Muyu.

The few women still have a lot to talk about with each other. Although they occasionally get jealous because of some things, they are still harmonious on the surface.

Although they will be divided into several small circles in private, they still admire Liu Zheng very much.

Several women were chattering, but the child in his hand happily ran towards Liu Zheng after seeing Liu Zheng coming.

While shouting father emperor.

"Father, father!"

Liu Jiang, who was already five years old, ran out of the house. He already understood some things. Although he was only five years old, he was extremely smart.

Liu Zheng is seldom at home and often goes out to fight. He doesn't spend much time with him, but this kid has a strange feeling for Liu Zheng. In order to get Liu Zheng's approval, he started to practice martial arts at a young age.

He seemed to be more interested in these things about martial arts, so Wei Mu simply asked Huang Zhong to be his teacher and taught Liu Jiang how to practice martial arts.

Liu Shan was younger, only three years old. Unlike Liu Jiang, this kid was a little timid and liked to cuddle up against his mother, Zhang Muyu.

Liu Zheng came over and hugged one in each hand.

Although in the past two years, Zhang Ning was also pregnant and gave birth to a daughter for him, but now the daughter is too young to be separated from Zhang Ning's arms.

Liu Zheng came to the hall.

Several concubines stood up to salute him.

Liu Zheng waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be polite, and sat down by himself.

"Just now I heard you chat happily here, what are you talking about?"

Liu Zheng asked them a question, picked up the tableware, and began to eat the delicious dishes on the table.

Speaking of which, after dealing with government affairs all morning, he was really hungry.

These concubines also understand Liu Zheng's character and know that Liu Zheng is a person who has no airs. Although Liu Zheng is here at this moment, their tone of speech has not changed at all.

"Your Majesty, Sister Mu Yu said, this time when His Majesty came back, did he bring us sisters again?"

"In the end, we all guessed wrong. It's strange that His Majesty didn't find us a new sister this time."

Cai Yao and Zhang Muyu have a relatively high status in Liu Zheng's heart, so they can joke with Liu Zheng casually.

She is also very courageous, if it were Yuan Ruan and Mi Zhen, she would definitely not dare to say this.

Liu Zheng took two bites of food.

"Wow, you two, dare to ridicule the widow, let's see how the widow will deal with you two at night!"

Liu Zheng pretended to be angry and looked at Cai Yao and Zhang Muyu.

There was something in Liu Zheng's words. Both Cai Yao and Zhang Muyu showed a shy look on their faces, and they immediately understood what Liu Zheng meant by cleaning up.

"Your Majesty, you are too bad. You always tease me, and I ignore you."

Cai Yao said coquettishly.Also pretended to be angry, and then picked up the tableware and started eating.

Seeing this, Liu Zheng also knew that Cai Yao was just joking with him.

"Yaoer, what is your elder brother Cai Mao doing recently?"

After molesting them a few words, Liu Zheng put the topic on the parents' faults.

"Didn't he be dropped by His Majesty to take charge of naval transport? He has been going to sea recently and rarely comes back, but last time he sent someone to tell me that he will be back in a while."

Cai Yao doesn't have much contact with her elder brother. After all, this is not the communication era of telephones and mobile phones in the later generations. They can be contacted anytime and anywhere. The current communication is just letters and messengers.

It's more troublesome, so Cai Yao doesn't have much contact with her elder brother.

When Liu Zheng heard what Cai Yao said, he remembered that he had asked Cai Mao to manage the water transportation a long time ago.

Because the territory of Funan Prefecture has been opened up, it is not easy to travel from Funan to Wujun by land. Only sea transportation is more convenient. In addition, when Cai Mao was in Jingzhou before, he was the commander of the navy.

Therefore, he was in charge of sea transportation, which was a suitable major. The main reason was that Cai Mao's military talent was not particularly outstanding, so Liu Zheng couldn't let him lead the army.

Chapter 848 A Warm Meal

In addition to Liu Zheng's command, the navy already has Zu Lang and Pan Lin, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai.

These few people shared the duties of Liu Zheng's navy, so Cai Mao's ability was not so prominent.

But after all, he is still Liu Zheng's brother-in-law, and together with the Cai family in Xiangyang, he is more or less a wealthy family. It will help Liu Zheng consolidate Jingzhou's power, so we still have to arrange some things for him to do.

When Liu Zheng knew that Cai Mao was busy with other things recently and was not in Jianye, he ignored Cai Mao any more.

When Cai Mao returns to Jianye, he will talk to Cai Mao again.

After talking about Cai Mao, Liu Zheng looked at Zhang Ning again.

"Ning'er, the Jinyiwei under the widow recently received news that in the north, two remnants of the Yellow Turbans near Hedong County have become active again. Do you know who these two groups are?"

Zhang Ning, who was eating in silence, was also surprised when he heard Liu Zheng's words.

The movement was a bit loud, and it disturbed the child in his arms, who cried loudly.

Zhang Ning frowned again, and hurriedly shook the child in his hand, coaxing the child to stop making trouble.

After the child in his arms became a little calmer, Zhang Ning frowned and asked Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, are there any remnants of the Yellow Turban Party in Hedong County? Why doesn't this concubine know about it?"

As a former saint of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Ning knew very well what kind of people there were in the Yellow Turban Army.

"It's part of the Black Mountain Army and some Yellow Turban Army in the Hexi area. The news came from the people under the widow, saying that they seem to be called Yang Feng and Mrs. Guo. In fact, you may not know these two people. The widow knows better than you, because at the beginning The widow is under their hands."

"It's a bit emotional to say it. After all, when the widow was still in Quyang, he was just a soldier under Yang Fenghui. After meeting Cao Cao in Quyang County, Yang Feng and others were defeated and fled. The widow took it with him in order to survive. The rest of the defeated soldiers will return to Quyang City. Only through this can we get to where we are today."

As soon as he mentioned Yang Feng, Liu Zheng also thought of the days when he was still in Quyang County.Although those days have always been the most difficult period for Liu Zheng.

But it also brought him the greatest inspiration and growth.

"Yang Feng, Mrs. Guo? I really don't have much impression of these two concubines. Maybe they had a very low status in the Yellow Turban Army."

"However, I have some impressions of being a concubine in the Black Mountain Army. At the beginning, the elder concubine Zhang Mancheng sent people to persuade the Yellow Turban remnants in Montenegro to join Qingzhou. Some of them joined the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou. Otherwise, at that time It is impossible for the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to have such a huge force."
