The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Yuan Zhou's boat sailed on the water as usual.

The surface of the water is calm and calm.Although the current is turbulent, there are no big waves, and the boat sails on it, and nothing happens.

Nothing happened like this, and the 2000 million years ago were re-transported to Liu Zheng's side.

Yuan Zhou got off the boat and returned to Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, I was ordered to reproduce the situation that day, and now I am returning to Your Majesty. Everything is normal, and nothing strange happened."

What Yuan Zhou said made Liu Zheng even more surprised.

"It's strange. You said that if there is a river monster in this river, why did he only swallow the money last time, but not this time?"

"Could it be that the river demon is still picky?"

In fact, what Liu Zheng said was that he had already denied the existence of the river monster in his heart.

He felt more and more that there must be something weird behind this incident.

When Yuan Zhou heard what Liu Zheng said, he could only smile awkwardly.

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen the river monster before, so it's hard to tell if it's a picky eater."

"Hehe, you kid is still joking with me. By the way, didn't Xie Nan say that it took a day and a half to get here from Poyang, why did you spend two days to get here this time?"

Seeing that Liu Zheng actually asked this question, Yuan Zhou answered immediately.

"No, we didn't dare to delay for a moment on the way. According to His Majesty's instructions, we set off as soon as the boat was ready. We went down the river and didn't encounter anything on the way. We arrived here at this time."

"Oh."

Since Yuan Zhou said there was nothing unusual, Liu Zheng didn't pay too much attention.

But when he was about to let Yuan Zhou back down, his expression suddenly tightened.

In an instant, he seemed to have figured out something.

Immediately his expression changed, and he called out to Zhang Kai who was beside him.

"Zhang Kai, hurry up and bring that Xie Nan to me immediately."

Zhang Kai didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately took the order after hearing Liu Zheng's order.

Because Xie Nan has a major relationship with this matter, he has been temporarily detained by Zhang Kai's staff.

Being summoned by Liu Zheng at this moment, it doesn't need to go far to catch it and meet Liu Zheng.

When Xie Nan was brought over, Liu Zheng immediately asked him a question.

"Xie Nan, let me ask you, have you ever opened the money that you are responsible for escorting?"

At this time, Xie Nan was still a little scared, and trembling slightly when he saw Liu Zheng, but when Liu Zheng asked him this question, he immediately remembered it.

Chapter 851 The truth is revealed

"Return to Your Majesty, we know that the things we are escorting are of great value, so we dare not open them easily."

Xie Nan's answer made the expression on Liu Zheng's face a bit colder.

"So you didn't open it and read it all the way?"

"No."

"Then how do you know that the money you escorted is the 2000 million coins?"

Liu Zheng asked again.

Xie Nan was also prepared for this, and immediately answered calmly.

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be faked. When we set off from Changsha, the person in charge of counting will open the box for us to see the money inside, and then seal the box."

"In this way, we will be on the road during transportation, and we will not open the box halfway for safety."

Xie Nan had no doubts about the fake box.

However, Liu Zheng firmly believed in this, smiled lightly, and continued to ask Xie Nan.

"Are you sure you won't open the box halfway?"

"Return to Your Majesty, sure, I guarded the box the whole time, and made sure that the box was not opened halfway, and no one dropped the bag. The only thing out of my sight was when the box was transferred into the water while crossing the river by boat."

"But when we opened the box and brought it back, the coins inside were gone."

Xie Nan's words became more and more strange the more he said them, even he himself couldn't figure out what kind of changes happened, the only thing he could agree with was the river demon.

There was a river monster in the water, and they took all their coins away.

But after Liu Zheng heard Xie Nan's words, he believed in the guess in his heart more and more.

After all, that was 2000 million dollars.

The money here is five baht.It is the kind of copper plate seen in modern times.According to Liu Zheng's calculations, such a five baht coin weighs about three grams.

1 five baht coins are worth [-] grams.Equivalent to thirty kilograms.

2000 million five baht coins are 6000 million grams, equivalent to [-] tons.

Even if the weight of these five baht coins may be less than three grams, the total weight should not be sixty tons.

But the weight of sixty tons is definitely not a small number.

Such a huge amount of coins was transferred into the river, no matter how big the water was, some of them could be salvaged.But there was no sign of any coins.

Can this make people no doubt?

If there is no trouble in the middle of the money, then there is only a problem in the front of the transportation.

That's why Liu Zheng asked Xie Nan.

After Xie Nan learned that there was no problem halfway, Liu Zheng nodded and stopped asking about these things.

He told Xie Nan to go down, and at the same time asked Zhang Kai to come over quickly, arrest those responsible for loading the money in Changsha County, and torture them severely.

The three-day outing quickly passed amid the laughter of several women.

After Liu Zheng took them back to the palace, on the other side, Zhang Kai had already arrested these people from Changsha County.

After two days of torture and interrogation.

This river demon farce has completely come to light.

Yuan Zhou and Zhang Kai hurriedly passed on the information obtained during the torture to Liu Zheng. Even though it was late at night, they still came to report to Liu Zheng, which shows that this incident had a serious impact.

Liu Zheng was sleeping with Mi Zhen, holding the gentle Mi Zhen in his arms. Although the wind and rain had calmed down, he was enjoying the peace after the incident.

Yuan Zhou and Zhang Kai came to disturb Liu Zheng's elegance.

Mi Zhen was still a little unwilling to let Liu Zheng get up, hugged Liu Zheng in a coquettish tone, and wanted Liu Zheng to stay with her for a while.

Liu Zheng touched Mi Zhen's face, comforted her twice, and promised that he would come back after finishing the matter in a while. Mi Zhen acted like a baby, so she let Liu Zheng leave.

Get up and change clothes.

After Mi Zhen helped Liu Zheng get dressed, she came to the study and met Yuan Zhou and Zhang Kai.

Dian Wei, who was at the side, also followed and waited.

"Yuan Zhou, Zhang Kai, you are still looking for me at such a late hour, is it possible that the news of the coin's disappearance already has some clues?"

Liu Zheng opened his mouth to guess, after all, it shouldn't be so urgent to do other things.

Yuan Zhou's face was gloomy, and he nodded.

"Your Majesty, we have already investigated the matter."

"Did you find out so quickly? I thought I would have to wait a few more days. Tell me, what's going on?"

Liu Zheng was slightly surprised, and then asked Yuan Zhou to tell the inside story.

Yuan Zhou's expression remained unchanged, and he first complimented Liu Zheng.

"Sure enough, as His Majesty expected, those people in Changsha County really have a problem. After General Zhang Kai sent money to the bank to arrest the few people responsible for the transportation, we didn't need us to torture them, they recruited themselves .”

"Recruited?"

Hearing Yuan Zhou's words, Liu Zheng was even more surprised.

"You recruited yourself?"

"Well, Your Majesty, these people are not the masterminds, they are just slaves. The coins packed from Changsha County are not coins at all, only the upper layer is money. The boxes below are filled with stones."

"It's no wonder that when our men transported these boxes to the river, the boxes fell into the water, and when they went to salvage them, there was no trace at all. They turned into stones."

At this moment, Yuan Zhou was also sighing.At the beginning, he took his men and horses to salvage the river for a long time, but he never salvaged the lost money.

It turns out that the transportation is all stones, which is no wonder, even if they salvage the stones, they will not fish them up.

And the number of coins on the most surface layer will not add up too much.Being washed by the river, they will naturally disperse.It is also difficult to salvage it, so it is normal to salvage it for a long time without salvaging many coins.

As soon as things came out of these people's mouths, the truth came out.

"The widow said, where is the river monster in this world?"

"Even if the river demon sees me, the Son of Heaven, he must be a little afraid. Who is responsible for Yuan Zhou and Changsha Qianzhuang?"

"Who is the mastermind, have you found out?"

"I found out, it's a man named Xu Gong."

"It's just that this person has already got the news. When we went to arrest the person in charge of the bank in Changsha County, this person had already escaped."

"We didn't catch him."

Zhang Kai also took a step forward at this time, and said something to Liu Zheng.

"What, you didn't catch him."

When he heard the news, Liu Zheng was obviously slightly surprised.

When listening carefully to them saying that this person's name is Xu Gong.The expression on his face became more dignified.

This person's name seemed to be familiar to him, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Chapter 852 There's a problem with the team

Liu Zheng ignored Yuan Zhou and Zhang Kai, and began to think about the name Xu Gong in his mind.

He tried to recall in his mind where he had heard the name before.

Seeing that Liu Zheng didn't speak, Yuan Zhou and Zhang Kai didn't dare to disturb Liu Zheng.

He could only stand aside silently, waiting for Liu Zheng to recover from his thoughts.

And when Liu Zheng tried to recall the name in his mind, it really reminded him of something.

Xu Gong.

It seems that the death of the little overlord Sun Ce was assassinated by several assassins under Xu Gong's sect.

Because he killed Sun Ce, the little overlord, Xu Gong's three disciples were quite famous.

It is precisely for this reason that Xu Gong, who was originally not well-known in the history of the Three Kingdoms, became famous.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng also had some impressions of this Xu Gong.

Liu Zheng, who likes the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, made a special effort to find out how these famous generals died in the end.

That's why he remembered that there was such a person as Xu Gong.

Speaking of which, Xu Gong was considered unlucky.

He was originally from Yuzhou. In order to avoid the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he fled from Yuzhou to Yangzhou.Be a small captain in Wujun.

Later, because of illness, Sheng Xian, the prefect of Wu County, resigned, Xu Gong got involved in the post of prefect of Wu County, and then tried to kill Sheng Xian in order to eliminate some of Sheng Xian's old forces in Wu County, but failed, but it was a disaster. When it came to Sun Ce's attack.

In Jiangdong, no one is a match for Sun Ce, and Xu Gong is no exception. After being defeated by Sun Ce, he hurriedly fled to join Yan Baihu.

Relying on Yan Baihu, he reluctantly confronted Sun Ce, but Xu Gong was not dead, and secretly tried to trip Sun Ce, but Sun Ce found out.

Just kill this guy.

After Xu Gong's death, some of his brothers attacked Sun Ce while he was out hunting, shot and wounded Sun Ce, and died of illness not long after.

In the past, Liu Zheng didn't have a deep impression of Xu Gong, so even if Xu Gong took refuge under his command, Liu Zheng didn't remember him too much.
