Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 661
In the second year of Yankang,

In Runan, Yuzhou, Huanglong appears in the well.

Lu Bu led his men to search Luoyang for three full days. During these three days, he found nothing, and it cannot be said that he found nothing. He searched every house where grain could be stored, even the dwellings of some aristocratic families and ordinary people. As a result, after such a search, he found four dens of thieves and two workshops that minted money privately. square.

They also found some privately hidden military associations, and even caught many wanted thieves.

In the past three days, General Lu has made outstanding political achievements. He solved sixteen cases successively, and three of them were related to the big case of Zhang Song in the past. General Lu was a little confused. After entering Houde Hall, Liu Xi respected him very much. After all, like him, he solved countless cases and arrested countless culprits in a short period of time, which made Luoyang's law and order cleared up, which is unprecedented.

General Lu, who was rewarded by Liu Xi, was walking back home in a daze. He really didn't understand that when he first took office in the past, he also wanted to work hard to catch some thieves, to prove that General Lu even In Luoyang, he was also the invincible No. [-] warrior. However, at that time, he worked hard for several months, but found nothing. Now, he was looking for the missing food, but in the end it was...
I can only sigh with emotion, the world is impermanent.

In the evening, when Man Chong came to take charge of the Jinwu camp, his face was unkind and he frowned. He was led into the tent by the soldiers, saluted Lu Bu, and said coldly: "Congratulations to the general, I asked the general to help you." Looking for food and grass, I didn’t expect that the general seized the opportunity, and took advantage of this opportunity to gain a lot of political achievements for himself.” Lu Bu looked at him, and he didn’t know how to explain it. Man Chong thought that he was using the public to benefit himself.
General Lu is a scholar, full of love for anger, he decided to move it with emotion and understand it with reason.

"Mr. Man, I didn't search other cases in the name of searching for grain and grass. These are all coincidences. I know that Man Jun must be worried because I haven't found grain and grass for a long time. However, I can't get angry with me. I can hide grain. I have searched all the places, but I really don’t have any information, if Manjun wants to blame, then don’t blame Bu, otherwise, Manjun will definitely be carried out of this Jinwu camp!!” Lu Bu sincerely Said.

In this regard, Man Chong just snorted coldly, turned and left.

As soon as I returned to Tingwei Mansion, I saw a group of people standing in Tingwei's compound. The person standing inside was the new Yushi doctor, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide. Zhang Fei was chatting with others in a low voice, but, Even though Man Chong was standing outside the door, he could still hear his whispers. Seeing Man Chong walking in, Zhang Fei was overjoyed and looked at him quickly. Only then did Man Chong see that the person next to Zhang Fei was Xiu Yuan Shang of the Clothes Messenger.

"Full man!!!"

Zhang Fei cupped his hands and bowed, and the three of them returned to the study immediately, and sat down together, Zhang Fei then said: "I have some clues for this big case, and I came here for this matter! !!", he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Man Chong. Man Chong took the letter and read it carefully. This is a letter from Sikong Mansion to General Zuo Mansion. It is Yuan Shao's letter. What is written is to increase the national treasury and ask the government to send some people to carry out the expansion.

Man Chong looked at the letter, he was still extremely intelligent, just glanced at it, then reacted, and asked: "Those sand??"

"That's right, Jiangzuo's mansion brought a lot of materials according to the order of Sikong's mansion. I learned from several craftsmen that when they were transporting, they found several bags of sand. I was a little surprised, and didn't know what to do with them, but they didn't dare to ask, and they didn't know where they put them in the end..." Zhang Fei said, Man Chong squinted his eyes, and looked at the place seriously. letters.

That's right, this is indeed Yuan Shao's handwriting. However, at that time, Yuan Shao gave them an order to build the treasury and let them build it. Can you reach the general's mansion? ?

Zhang Fei looked at him and said, "I went to see Sikong this morning to inquire about this matter, but Sikong didn't take me seriously and kicked me out. I had some conflicts with him. Therefore, come here Lieutenant Ting, I hope Duke Man can make a move." Yuan Shang was a little embarrassed, he cleared his throat, and said, "I can go to Sikong about this matter, and I will definitely find out some news."

"No!!! You should avoid it!!!" Zhang Fei said.

Yuan Shang couldn't say anything more.

After seeing off Zhang Fei, Man Chong rushed to Sikong's mansion. Although Yuan Shao's subordinates were not very friendly to him, they did not turn him away. They welcomed him in and entered the study room. Yuan Shao was looking around Man Chong looked at him without disturbing him. After a while, Yuan Shaofang raised his head and looked at him. After Man Chong paid his respects to him, he asked: "I'm here this time. , but in order to hear about the affairs of the Zuofu, Sikong once asked them to."

Man Chong asked about various matters, and Yuan Shao answered them one by one, without hiding any secrets.

Man Chong asked again: "I don't know this matter, who is mainly responsible?"

"Senior."

Man Chong was surprised, nodded, and then left. Before leaving, he said again: "Mr. Zhang was entrusted by the emperor, Sikong. You shouldn't be too rude"

"Disrespectful?? Hehe, that Zhuzi deceived me. I didn't impeach him with His Majesty, because I did it for Cui Gong's face." Yuan Shao said angrily, waved his hand, and let Man Chong leave.

Just earlier, Zhang Fei had rushed here, Yuan Shao also invited him to the study, and treated him very politely, Zhang Fei was also very happy, cleared his throat, and asked with a smile:

"Sikong!!! Do you know where those grains of sand come from!!!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he was furious, Zhang Fei, I, as a Sangong, treat you so politely, how dare you yell at me, be so rude? ?Immediately, Yuan Shao shouted for someone to come, so Zhang Fei rushed out. Zhang Fei, who didn't wear a sword, really couldn't handle so many doormen with sticks, so he was almost beaten, and felt wronged , I am kind to ask, how can you treat me like this? ?

When Man Chong heard the news, he naturally went back to the prison and interrogated the senior officials alone. In the predicament, there is not much time left for Man Chong. Reports from various places are rushing towards the temple. In desperation, Liu Xi can only let Yuan Shao continue to send supplies to various places, and then solve these problems. thing.

However, this time, Yuan Shao did not complete it alone, but the eunuch Hua Xiong worked with him.

After selecting the officials to go to, the materials were collected and sent to various places again.

Yuan Shao and Hua Xiong were busy in the mansion, or in other words, Yuan Shao was busy while Hua Xiong just sat aside, watching Yuan Shao do these things, not only didn't help, but also praised with a smile, "Hey, it's Sikong who is worth it , this word is beautiful!"

"Is this the material statistics of the treasury??"

"Okay, Sikong is quick to do things!!"

Hearing these words, Yuan Shao resisted the urge to fight with Hua Xiong, and continued to be busy, but as he was writing, Yuan Shao felt that something was wrong. He frowned, looked at it seriously, and read it several times. Suddenly, The whole person couldn't sit still, he was a little excited, and quickly found the official, frowned, and asked: "You gave it to me, this is the report from the treasury, when is it?"

Seeing Yuan Shao's appearance, the official said suspiciously: "I don't know what's wrong with yesterday's?"

Yuan Shao's lips trembled slightly, unable to speak, he waved his hand to let him go.

Hua Xiong looked at his appearance and was a little curious. He picked up the materials and read them carefully for a while. Suddenly, Hua Xiong laughed, looked at Yuan Shao who was silent in front of him, and asked, "Sikong, great joy, what's in the treasury?" It’s a good thing that the amount of food in the country is increasing instead of decreasing. How did Sikong do it??” Yuan Shao raised his head and looked at him. with you."

"Sikong already knows what's going on?"

"understood"

"Then what shall we do?"

"Go to Houde Hall."

Hua Xiong didn't say much, just bowed to Yuan Shao, and left here. Yuan Shao bent over and packed up the documents on the case, looking a bit old-fashioned. After taking these, he asked the officials to drive and drive away. Going to Houde Hall, sitting in the carriage, Yuan Shao closed his eyes tightly, unable to speak, almost all the food in the treasury had to be sent to various places, and he even used his own property to fill the vacancy.
And just six days ago, someone dispatched a batch of grain with the order of the air commander and entered the treasury.

The missing grain, the grain that has never been found in Luoyang, is actually in the treasury. If the emperor hadn't redistributed the grain, and Yuan Shao hadn't been very familiar with the state treasury, he wouldn't even have thought of it No wonder Man Chong, Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, and Yuan Shang couldn't find the four. As for who sent the grain to the treasury, Yuan Shao lowered his head and looked at the detailed records in the treasury's recent report.

There is a brand new signature under the list of the recent grain adjustment and storage.

Long history Yuan Tan.

Looking down at the signature, Yuan Shao felt severe pain in his heart. He gritted his teeth, raised his head, took a deep breath, and then he recovered. He didn't know why Yuan Tan did this. He felt a little dazed and got out of the car. Looking at the palace in front of him, Yuan Shao's legs were extraordinarily heavy, and he walked towards Houde Hall step by step.

When Liu Xi heard that Yuan Shao had come, he did not dare to be rude, after all, he was the third prince of the country.

"Sikong is here? It's about delivering food." As soon as Liu Xi opened his mouth, Yuan Shao knelt down in front of Liu Xi. His face was pale, and he bowed to Liu Xi. Liu Xi was a little surprised, looking at Yuan Shao in front of him, After being stunned for a moment, he hurried forward, wanting to help him up, and said, "Sikong, why is this?? Get up quickly!!"

"Your Majesty!" Yuan Shao raised his head, tears streaming down his face.

"I am ashamed of your majesty's gift, I have no way to teach my son." Yuan Shao kept on talking while weeping. Liu Xi probably understood it in his heart, but he didn't ask, but he used his strength to help Yuan Shao up. Although tall, he was already old. Liu Xi helped him up without much effort. Yuan Shao cried and said, "Your Majesty, this is all done by my eldest son, Yuan Tan. I have not taught you well, and I have neglected my duties. ah"

"The Yuan family has been loyal and good for generations, but it was destroyed by the hands of the ministers!"

"Sikong...no problem, no problem." Looking at the old man in front of him, Liu Xi gradually felt a little heavy in his heart. On Yuan Shao's face, he seemed to see another person. You are young, you have done something wrong, and there is still a chance to correct it, Sikong didn't know about it, you can't blame Sikong, you have confirmed the reputation of the Yuan family's loyalty, so don't belittle yourself."

Yuan Shao shook his head and wept bitterly.
