"Wait a minute!"

Zhong Huan suddenly heard something strange, and asked him, "Why did the other party ask you to engage in old soldiers? You have done this kind of business before?"

Liu Jun stammered, "I did a little business with Huaixi Zhang Jun before."

Zhong Huan said coldly: "The matter is very important, I advise you to tell the truth, don't let me threaten you with your son's hand and ear."

Liu Jun's face was pale, and he lowered his head and said, "Zhang Jun and I are from the same village. The Korean merchant came to me because he wanted to buy a batch of armor from Zhang Jun at a high price. Zhang Jun agreed and sold it to the Korean merchant for [-] yuan through me. A spear and [-] war knives, I took [-] guan for this business, which is the capital of my start-up, and I later changed to the cloth business.”

Chong Huan still feels that there is still a problem. Since he is no longer in the military business, what is the point of the Korean people looking for him?This Liu Jun still has something to hide. "

"If you don't tell the truth, we won't be able to catch the Koreans, and you will still be killed by them. If you continue to hide, you are harming yourself and your family. You have to think about it yourself!"

Zhong Huan hit the nail on the head, and hit the point in one sentence.

Liu Jun's lips trembled violently, and he suddenly knelt down and wept, "I confess, everything I just said is false. I will confess again, and I dare not hide it anymore."

The first thousand and 520 chapters of Koryo

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as Chen Qing arrived at the imperial study, he reported at the door, "General Zhong has something important to see!"

"Acclaim him an audience!"

Not long after, Zhong Huan hurried into the imperial study, bowed and saluted, "See Your Majesty!"

"What's the urgent matter, General Zhong?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the money ticket case has a major prospect, but the matter is of great importance, and the humble post dare not delay it!"

"you say!"

Zhong Huan briefly described their investigation process, and finally said: "The humble staff also find it strange. The counterfeit ticket is not important, the important thing is the token, and you can only withdraw the money once, and the counterfeit money ticket is also a one-time sale. What's the use of fake money?" mean?

It wasn't until we caught Liu Jun, the businessman last night, that we realized that counterfeit banknotes and counterfeit money bills were just a superficial incident. They just used this incident to intimidate Liu Jun, because forgery of money bills is a serious crime for the whole family, and Liu Jun is gone. If they retreat, they can only follow them to Goryeo. "

"It's worth talking about! What important role does this Liu Jun have that deserves so much attention from the Koreans?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, this Liu Jun was once a chief steward under Zhang Jun's subordinates. His Highness also knows that Zhang Jun has done a lot of illegal business. This Liu Jun is the chief steward of Zhang Jun's military business. Zhang Jun has sold several batches. The Bingjia was given to Goryeo by this Liu Jun. Later, when Zhang Jun died, this Liu Jun also went ashore and became a cloth merchant. found him.

It is rumored that Zhang Jun hid a large amount of armor and fire oil on the eve of his defeat. The Koreans thought that Liu Jun would know. They had been looking for Liu Jun and finally found it two months ago. They used a trick to send someone to pretend to do business with Liu Jun , set a trap for him, and later set a second trap for him with silver notes. "

Chen Qing frowned, "Can't they just take this Liu Jun away, why is it so troublesome?"

"This Liu Jun is very cunning. He was originally called Zhang Hua and he was very thin, but now he changed his name to Liu Jun and made himself fat. The Koreans were not sure if it was him, and they were afraid of arresting him. Set a trap for Liu Jun to commit a major crime and force him to flee to Korea, but the Koreans who knew him are currently in the country.

Who knew that Liu Jun found out that the other party was a Korean, he immediately understood the other party's plan, and kept hiding in the secret room under the well.

Chen Qing sneered, "Zhang Jun was defeated in the south of the Yangtze River and has been followed by us. How can he hide his soldiers?"

"Your Majesty, Liu Jun said that this rumor is true. It's just that the time was wrong. It wasn't the eve of his defeat, but before Zhang Jun prepared to rebel. He buried a large number of weapons in Jianghuai. There were thirteen warehouses in total. There are three warehouses, and there are three warehouses that have not been activated, and the Koreans are looking for these three weapons."

"Does Liu Jun know this? I mean the burial place of the armory!"

Zhong Huan nodded, "He said he knew!"

Chen Qing was really surprised to hear that in order to get soldiers, the Koreans went to all lengths to get the idea of ​​Zhang Jun's treasure, but the rumors were true, if the Koreans were more decisive and took Liu Jun's family away, They simply don't know.

However, the Korean people superimposed the superfluous, which led to the money ticket case. Perhaps the Korean people really had the idea of ​​making fake money tickets.

"How do these Koreans catch them? Is there a way?"

Zhong Huan nodded, "I heard that the Koreans are very united. We can start with the Korean merchants living in Jingzhao, and we can wipe out all the Koreans!"

"Then you have to act immediately. If Liu Jun is arrested, these Koreans must immediately disperse and flee. It will not be easy to catch."

"Humble job understands, act today!"

……

During the Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of Koryo people lived in the Song Dynasty. After the Jin soldiers invaded, the Koryo people returned to the country one after another. Until the establishment of Yongguo, Quanzhou began to have merchant ships traveling between Koryo and Japan. Koryo merchants came to Jingzhao again. On the one hand, they enjoyed The benefits of exemption from commercial tax, while buying rare goods from merchants in the Western Regions, shipped them to Korea and sold them at high prices.

There is a Silla Inn near the Dongcheng Gate, which was opened by the Koreans. This is also the base camp of the Koreans in Jingzhao, and almost all the Korean businessmen live here.

The owner of the inn is Luo Shun'an, who is also a Korean. He came to Jingzhao earlier, and bought an inn covering an area of ​​three acres when the land price was very low. At that time, it only cost a thousand yuan, but now it has risen to the price per mu. Eight thousand guan, a six-fold increase in just five years.

Early in the morning, a neighbor who was familiar with him built a yard and asked him to come over and do a favor. Luo Shun'an readily went and arrived at the neighbor's house, but he was greeted by five strange men, all of whom were burly and round.

A man was waving a gold medal, "We are inner guards, I have something to ask you!"

Luo Shunan's face turned pale, and his legs trembled. The head of the inner guard was Zhong Huan, and the matter was of great importance. He personally led the team to investigate the case.

"Sit down!"

Luo Shunan sat down on a small stool tremblingly.

Zhong Huan looked at a piece of material in his hand and said, "Your original name was Jin Shun'an, and you used to be a small official in Jingzhao County of the puppet Qi. After the Western Army occupied Jingzhao, you changed your name to Luo Shun'an, and spent a thousand dollars to buy a three-acre house. The inn, until today, right!"

Luo Shunan's face was ashen. He didn't expect Xijun to find out his background clearly. After a long while, he whispered: "I have never done anything harmful to nature."

Chong Huan sneered, "On the eve of the Western Army's entry into the city, the county magistrate of Jingzhao ran away, and the tens of thousands of coins in the county treasury were robbed by rioters. I guess that's how you got your thousand coins."

"That's what I've been saving year after year."

"Fart! The county magistrate pays twice a month, and there is not enough to eat. Where are you going to save?"

Luo Shunan lowered his head and dared not speak.

Zhong Huan closed the file and said calmly: "The three-acre inn you bought for one thousand dollars back then now costs almost twenty-five thousand dollars for the land alone. Pursue your past affairs, but you have to answer me a few questions honestly, and then this level will be over, if you continue to be the big shopkeeper, we will not bother you, understand?"

"Little man...understand!"

"Recently, many Koreans have come to Jingzhao. They should come from the mainland, right?"

"there is!"

"how many people?"

"As far as I know, there are eight or nine and maybe a little more."

"Do they live in your store?"

Luo Shunan shook his head quickly, "They didn't live in my shop, I heard they rented a big yard."

"Where is the yard?" Zhong Huan asked.

"I don't know, I really don't know."

Seeing the extremely sharp gaze on the other side, he shivered in fright, and added: "I'm not lying, and there's no need to protect them!"

Chong Huan grabbed his neck and said coldly: "Don't be sloppy, you may not know, but you know someone knows, don't you?"

"I... I'm a little confused."

"Then I'll wake you up!"

Zhong Huan winked, and a big man behind him raised a knife and dropped one of his ears, bleeding profusely immediately, Luo Shun'an covered his ears and screamed.

Chong Huan grabbed his lapel and squinted his eyes: "I'll give you one last chance, if you still refuse to say it, then go to Neiwei to taste the snake prison."

Luo Shunan was frightened out of his wits, "I said, I said, Cui Xu knows!"

Zhong Huan suddenly felt that he had nowhere to go, and that it took no effort to get it. Cui Xu is the one who Duan Ping told him to forge the money.

"where is he?"

"He lives in my inn, and the easternmost room on the second floor is him."

"Go and arrest people immediately!"

……

More than a dozen inner guards rushed into the inn and went straight to the second floor. Just as they rushed up to the second floor, they saw a man hurried out from the easternmost room with a bag.

"catch him!"

The soldiers rushed forward and pushed the man to the ground. Several other soldiers kicked open the easternmost door and rushed in.

The room was empty and there was no one there, so the one who was knocked down should be Cui Xu.

The first thousand and 520 chapters five Goryeo

Half an hour later, Zhong Huan led [-] cavalrymen to gallop towards Xianyang like lightning. The [-] cavalrymen galloped on the official road, the yellow dust billowed, the horseshoes were like thunder, and the momentum was terrifying. A soldier in front shouted: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The people on the official road dodged to both sides, and after a while, five hundred cavalry rushed to the Weihe River, crossed the Weihe River along the pontoon bridge, and rushed to Xianyang City more than ten miles away.

According to Cui Xu's account, the mansion behind Anrong Restaurant in Xianyang City, Anrong Restaurant Zhong Huan knew, seemed to be a private house behind it.

Not long after, the cavalry entered Xianyang City and came to Anrong Restaurant not far from the east gate. Four big lanterns with four black characters of Anrong Restaurant hung in mid-air, especially when the lanterns were lit at night, they would be particularly eye-catching No wonder Cui Xu has only been there once, but he still remembers clearly that it is behind Anrong Restaurant.

"Get off your horse and go in from the side alley!"

The soldiers dismounted one after another and rushed in from the side alley...

Behind the Anrong Restaurant are large bungalows, most of which are small courtyards, but there is a very prominent wealthy family, which is the only large courtyard in this area of ​​houses.

"right here!"

Zhong Huan waved his hand, and five hundred soldiers quickly surrounded the compound.

"Whoosh!" A cold arrow was shot from the roof and hit the shoulder of an inner guard soldier. The soldier screamed and fell to the ground.

The soldiers squatted down one after another, and some soldiers rushed up to lift the wounded soldiers aside. At this time, shouts came from the yard, obviously not Han Chinese, but the language of Koreans. It sounded like a large number of people.

After Zhong Huan gave an order, hundreds of soldiers climbed onto the roofs of the surrounding houses, especially from the third floor of Anrong Restaurant, where the situation in the courtyard could be clearly seen.

"General Zhong, they are all in the house, and there is no one in the yard!" The soldier on the third floor of the restaurant shouted.

"Break open the courtyard door!"

When Zhong Huan gave an order, some soldiers immediately found a giant log, and dozens of soldiers hugged the giant log and smashed against the door.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After hitting the gate three times in a row, the gate was knocked open, and the inner guards with large shields and swords in their hands lined up. Arrows whized out from the room. It seemed that there were as many as five or sixty people.

"General Zhong, burn it with fire!" a subordinate suggested.

"no!"

Zhong Huan vetoed this plan, he pondered for a moment and said: "Use arrows!"

Every soldier brought a crossbow, but in addition to the normal crossbow, each of them was also equipped with five special crossbows, which are medicine arrows. Paralyzed, unable to move, and very fast.

When Zhong Huan gave an order, hundreds of arrows from all around shot into the room like raindrops, and only screams were heard.

"Rush out and fight them!"

There was a loud shout in the room, and dozens of men in black rushed to the courtyard. The inner guard soldiers held large shields and rushed forward. Surrounded by groups, in just a moment, more than [-] men in black were all killed.

At this time, several Korean leaders tried to escape through the back door, but they were covered by the inner guard's rope net, pushed down and tied up.

The inner guards began a thorough search of the mansion.

There were 67 people in total, 43 of them were killed and shot, 21 were paralyzed by arrows, and three leaders were captured alive.

The Western Army immediately seized a large amount of silver and copper coins, equivalent to 50 copper coins.

This time, a soldier brought out a small box, which immediately surprised Zhong Huan. There was a whole box of banknotes, each of five thousand guan and one thousand guan, stamped with the big seal of the head office. There are thousands of them.

Although it can be collected in the main store in the end, and the authenticity can be identified by the main store, it will be at least a few months later.

It is conceivable that if the 67 people agree to cash the bills at different places on a certain day, millions of dollars can be taken away at once. True or false, not to mention the following branches.

Zhong Huan understood that the other party was not as simple as just framing Liu Jun, but they wanted to take advantage of the convenience of the money ticket to extort a lot of money. The Han people might be afraid of severe punishment, but the Koreans did not dare.

……

At dusk, Zhong Huan came to the palace in a hurry and asked to see the emperor again urgently. This was the second time he had urgently asked to see the emperor today.

Chen Qing knew that he had captured a Korean, so he immediately received Zhong Huan in Linde Hall.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are a total of 67 Koreans, including the forger Cui Xu who was caught at the Silla Inn, so there are 68 people, and 25 people were captured alive. The interrogation is basically over."

Chen Qing was a little surprised, "There are more than 60 people here, what do they want?"

"They were all selected from the soldiers of the Koryo Army and sent to the Yong Dynasty to perform tasks under their direct command from the King of Koryo."

"What task do you perform?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, they have many tasks, including collecting money, collecting armor, and obtaining advanced military technology..."

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Qing interrupted him and asked, "What do you mean by advanced military technology?"
