Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 105 The father actually did this kid a big wrong

In the study room of Guan Mansion, the curtains were lowered and the light was dim.

Because Zhou Cang investigated the real source of "this batch of ordnance", the whole incident gradually became clear.

"General Zhou means that all these ordnance are from that... that mountain villa on the outskirts of Jiangling?"

Ma Liang still didn't believe it, and asked again and again to confirm.

Zhou Cang nodded heavily, and answered a "yes" very firmly.

He said in detail: "Today, Guan Gong asked the general to investigate the identity of the 'Jiaozhou' merchant, and the general followed them, and found that the wood vendor in the market recognized Na Shi Huolong!"

"...It's not a big deal at all. I was worried about missing something, so I sent someone to check the wood peddler. It doesn't matter if I don't check. After a search, I found out that this peddler has sold a lot of wood recently. , This amount of sales... is more than the sum of his previous years... and even caused the price of wood in Jingzhou to rise rapidly."

Speaking of this, Zhou Cang paused, "Following this clue, I sent someone to investigate further, only to find that the place where a large amount of wood poured in was a mountain villa in the western suburbs of Jiangling, not only wood, but also Even the large amount of iron and steel on the black market is transported here, and the sound of forging in the villa can be heard from a long distance away..."

Speaking of this, Ma Liang tried to follow Zhou Cang's words. "Manufacturing sidecars, wooden oxen and horses, and crossbows requires a lot of wood and iron, so General Zhou boldly guessed that these wooden oxen and horses all came from that villa, and the so-called 'Huang Laoxie' lived here! "

Ma Liang proposed "Huang Laoxie".

Zhou Cang didn't know, "Is there any Huang Laoxie found in the end? Who is Huang Laoxie?"

Ma Liang told Zhou Cang the words "made by Huang Laoxie" engraved on the van mentioned by Guan Yinping.

Only then did Zhou Cang suddenly realize.

Call out—"So that's it... That's it!"

Ma Liang then asked: "Since I have already guessed that it is the villa, why didn't General Zhou lead his officers and soldiers into it and investigate it?"

this…

Zhou Cang scratched his head, "Guan Gong only asked the general to inquire secretly, and the general discovered that there are many secret whistles around the villa. I am afraid that if he gets closer, he will startle the snake...so..."

Ma Liang nodded knowingly, "General Zhou did the right thing. If he broke in abruptly, he would be reckless...someone was negligent."

As if, Ma Liang realized.

This "Huang Laoxie" has the word "xie" in his name, so he must... have a bad temper.

In case of offending, wouldn't it be the loss of a "Ming Qiao" who might be recruited?
And with this series of reports.

Guan Yu's eyes became gloomy, "Since this 'Huang Laoxie' is in Jiangling, why don't you go to Guan directly for the sale of arms? It's so public...or do you use Yunqi's hand? Is the purpose just for money? Or is he To deceive Yunqi?"

Guan Yu cast out his worries. .

Ma Liang can't figure it out either...

Just like his name, Huang Laoxie... evil... this person is very evil.

"Huang Laoxie, Huang Laoxie..."

Ma Liang couldn't help murmuring the name again...

Wait, suddenly... His eyeballs must have thought of something suddenly.

It's a letter!

It was Kong Ming, a name mentioned in the letter sent to him some time ago.

——Huang... His surname is also Huang!
——"Evil" words... He behaves in the world, and he is also very evil!
Huang Laoxie, Huang Laoxie, could it be... could it be... him?
Immediately, Ma Liang's eyes were fixed, and he hurriedly said: "Guan Gong, I know who this Huang Laoxie is?"

"who?"

"A name was mentioned in the letter sent back by Kong Ming before, and that is his father-in-law Huang Chengyan!"

Ma Liang explained in detail: "Kong Mingyan and...his father-in-law Huang Chengyan came back from traveling, and his hometown Miannan was destroyed in the war, so he settled in a villa in the western suburbs of Jiangling City..."

"Kong Ming also mentioned that his father-in-law has a weird temper and doesn't like mundane affairs, and Kong Ming has arranged some servants and guards to guard the villa, so that we don't have to go to visit, and leave him a peaceful family."

Speaking of which...

With a "gudong", Ma Liang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he suddenly seemed to be in a daze.

He pursed his lips and said: "The western outskirts of the city mentioned by General Zhou just now, someone remembers that there is only one mountain villa there, and the owner of that villa, besides Kong Ming's father-in-law Huang Chengyan? Who else? That is to say... That is to say..."

Without waiting for Ma Liang to speak.

Guan Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and he said loudly, "This 'Huang Laoxie' is that 'Huang Chengyan'..."

"Shh..."

Guan Yu's words had just spread, and Ma Liang quickly pointed out his index finger.

Because of Zhuge Kongming's account, it's good that they know about it, and they must not spread it.

Not to mention going against Kong Ming's intentions and attracting guests from all over the place to bother him.

Can…

Guan Yu's eyes were deep.

He fell into deep thought all of a sudden, if...if this Huang Chengyan is Huang Laoxie.

Then he made these ordnance, and then drove up the price to sell it?
...he...wrong!
What does he want so much money for?
and many more…

Guan Yu suddenly thought of a point.

He quickly opened his mouth, but the words came to his lips, but he didn't come out.

What he actually wanted to say was a guess...

What if, if this matter is not just Huang Chengyan, but that kid Yunqi is also involved?
Although this idea was very bold, Guan Yu couldn't help but guess along the way.

——"Could it be... Guan Lin invited him out of the mountain to cooperate with such a play. The apparent purpose was to drive up the price of ordnance, but behind the scenes..."

Guan Yu couldn't help thinking of his previous epiphany.

——"Correcting chaos, counting;"

——"Brave and cowardly, the momentum is also;"

——"Strength and weakness, shape also. 』

Because of Guan Lin, Guan Yu's additional insights into "Sun Tzu's Art of War" drove him to think from another angle.

What was hidden behind this incident, or... what he saw in Guan Yu's eyes was actually what some people wanted him to see.

The whole incident, perhaps itself is a bureau.

Of course, this is just speculation...

Guan Yu casually asked, "Has Yunqi ever been to the western suburbs..."

this…

Zhou Cang rolled his eyes and didn't think about it at first.

But now... the fourth son was suddenly involved, Zhou Cang suddenly remembered something.

"Go!"

Zhou Cang's tone was firm, "Before... Mr. Yunqi would go there every half a month, and often after going there, he would bring back a lot of stewed beef. It was the official in the mansion who told the general himself!"

Because it is related to cattle, there will always be "cattle lovers" suing Guan Lin, and Zhou Cang is naturally no stranger.

Can…

Think about it this way...

——"Could it be..."

Zhou Cang's eyes narrowed, and he quickly said, "Guan Gong, could it be... Could it be Mr. Yunqi..."

Before Zhou Cang could finish speaking, Guan Yu waved his hand...to signal him not to continue.

connected...

Now, the whole incident is all connected!
Just like Guan Suo, he will not run to Baojiazhuang in the eastern suburbs for no reason;

This kid Yunqi naturally wouldn't go to the western suburbs for no reason.

Then think about Guan Lin's small fortune recently, think about the massive purchase of timber and iron, and transport them to the villas in the western suburbs, think about that Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi borrowed Guan Lin's platform to make this miraculous Ordnance is made public.

Guan Yu has reason to believe that this kid must be involved in this matter.

——"Can this kid actually draw Huang Chengyan to his side? 』

The more Guan Yu thought about it, he still felt a little bit unconvinced.

Huang Chengyan, he Guan Yu has also met, but the two have a bad temper, and the conversation is not speculative...

Huang Chengyan never showed Guan Yu a good face. How could Guan Yu be so arrogant, why would he visit him again?
Of course, if there is no speculation, then there is no speculation. Guan Yu still admires this Miannan celebrity.

He was half of Kong Ming's masters when he was young, and he was able to cultivate a talented woman like Huang Yueying. He was by no means a simple character!

Think about it this way...

Whether it is "Huang Laoxie" or "Huang Chengyan", these are not important.

The important thing is, what is the purpose of this wave of cooperation between Yunqi and Huang Chengyan?
What is he calculating?
It may be due to the experience of being a "victim", or it may be because he has been calculated too much by his son. Guan Yu can tell at a glance that Guan Lin is plotting something wrong.

certainly…

This plan may not be bad for Jingzhou, but Guan Yu is sure that this plan will definitely benefit this kid!

call…

At this moment, Guan Yu finally let out a breath of foul air. At this moment, he seemed to have suddenly realized.

Ma Liang was also suddenly enlightened.

Everything is connected, Ma Liang's thoughts are exactly the same as Guan Yu's...

He was still wondering just now, who has such a great ability to quietly purchase so many good trees and so much iron.

This kind of energy cannot be achieved by a small family.

But if it's Huang Chengyan, then... as expected.

As a celebrity in Miannan, he has an intricate network of relationships throughout Jingzhou, and he also has people sent by Kong Ming to assist him.

Don't talk about some wood, iron...

As long as he can think of it, he can do anything!
He is the only one who can build such a "workshop"!
But... Ma Liang's eyes must be fixed, and he quickly reminded: "Guan Gong, if this matter is really the fourth son and Huang Lao...then..."

Guan Yu knew what Ma Liang was thinking, and immediately ordered Zhou Cang.

"General Zhou!"

"The end is here."

"That's the end of this matter, don't investigate any more."

"Ah..." Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment, and finally got an idea, and Huang Chengyan was involved, the fourth son was involved, and the batch of ordnance was involved...

Shouldn't it be more clear?

"This is a military order!" Guan Yu's voice was beyond doubt.

"Here...here..." Zhou Cang could only accept his orders.

Guan Yu and Ma Liang thought further about this matter. Since Huang Chengyan was involved in this matter, no matter whether Guan Lin was involved or not, they couldn't investigate further.

Huang Chengyan's identity is too special, he is Kong Ming's father-in-law, if Guan Yu openly investigates Kong Ming's father-in-law, how can it be decent if it spreads to Chengdu?

What the Liu Bei Group pays attention to internally is not only fighting and killing, but also the romantic sophistication!

How can Guan Yu embarrass Liu Bei?
In addition, although the investigation of this matter revealed some clues, Guan Yu understood what Ma Liang meant.

——Standing still.

——Wait and see what happens.

Just like the turmoil of the "Hefei Gambling Contract" caused by Hong Qigong last time, isn't the Liu Bei Group, which is watching the changes, the biggest beneficiary in the final outcome?

Let's see how this matter will develop, and see whose hands these ordnance will fall into in the end.

Take a thousand steps back.

If Guan Lin really participated in it, let's see what kind of trouble this kid has caused, and what is his purpose?
Thinking of this...

Guan Yu pondered.

——"Suddenly this thing became interesting! 』

at this time…

——"Report...to General Guan, the prefect Mi Fang outside the gate to ask for an audience."

A guard walked into the study softly and handed over his hands to report.

Guan Yu knew that Mi Fang must be here to report, and as a result of the discussion with the merchant, he was about to invite Mi Fang to come in.

Ma Liang's hand immediately pressed on his shoulder.

Guan Yu understood... and directly ordered, "The collar Fang goes to the main hall, and Guan Mou goes to change clothes!"

"Here!" The guard cupped his hands again and retreated quickly.

And wait for the guards to go away.

Guan Yu saw what Ma Liang was thinking, and turned his gaze to Zhou Cang's side.

Ma Liang's voice also came out at the right time, "General Zhou, today's matter is very important and involves a lot. Whether it is the person or matter we mentioned, only you, me, and Guan Gong know about it. Don't let it out halfway." Character!"

Serious tone...

Coupled with Guan Yu's meticulous gaze, Zhou Cang knew that this matter had a lot to do with it.

Immediately cupped his hands, "I, Zhou Cang, am definitely not such a villain who chews his tongue!"

Guan Yu didn't speak, but just patted Zhou Cang's shoulder, which...expressed his approval.

Ma Liang sighed, and looked at Guan Yu again: "So... From now on, Guan Gong needs to act as if nothing happened, and wait and see what happens!"

The implication is...what Mi Fang should say, just say what she said.

How to fight for this batch of ordnance, just go for it according to the original plan.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and pondered for a moment, let alone... After such a small episode, he actually became more confident.

Even in the end, the price of this batch of ordnance was sky-high.

Even if he, Guan Yuhao, spent thousands of dollars to buy this batch of ordnance and became the victim of this great injustice, the money did not fall into the pockets of outsiders.

Of course, because it's a "big injustice" for this kid Yunqi...

To some extent, Guan Yu still felt a little lonely!

how…

At the end of the matter, Guan Yu...had made this kid a "big injustice"?

...

...

The thief of Cao's mansion.

Mi Fang's son, Mi Yang, brought people to carry the last batch of grain owed.

Ma Bingzheng and a group of civil servants are carefully pointing, planning...

The time is too short, even if it is to raise [-] hu of grain, it is still difficult.

Even the last batch... couldn't get any grain at all, so they could only use some grain and some "gold and silver" to replace it. Of course, this caused some confusion in the accounts, and it was extremely difficult to count.

In later generations, many people believed that there was no silver in the Han Dynasty.

In fact, there are, but they are not widely circulated among the people. Most of them are used as "official bank" and can still be paid in large amounts. Gold and five baht coins are more circulated among the people.

The price of five baht coins fluctuated too much. Once Dong Zhuo made small coins, the value of five baht coins plummeted, and a grain of grain could be sold for 10,000+ dollars.

In the so-called "Three Kingdoms Dong Zhuo Biography" - "So the goods are light and the goods are expensive, and the grain can reach hundreds of thousands. After that, money and goods will not work."

And "Book of the Later Han Dynasty Liu Yu Biography" also records-"Open the benefits of Shangguhu City, pass through Yuyang Salt and Iron Rao, Minyue Nian Deng, Gu Shi Thirty"!
It is recorded here that a grain of Dendrobium is only worth [-] yuan.

Even, like Gongsun Zan, 300 million hu of grain was stored in Yijing, resulting in lower local grain prices.

but…

With the emergence of today's three-point world situation, the price of coins has gradually stabilized in recent years.

There will be differences between regions, but not very different.

For example, in Jingzhou now, the average price of a piece of silk is 600-800 yuan;
The price of a dendrobium grain is roughly 500 yuan;
And 20 taels of gold is "1 gold" under the standard weight;
1 gold is equal to 480 qian, which is approximately equal to a dendrobium of grain.

Converting 5 hu grains in this way is only more than 16 gold. In the Han Dynasty, [-] taels were equal to a catty, which is equivalent to...how many catties of gold?

Uh…

Guan Lin found that even if he opened his toes, he couldn't move.

In short...Guan Lin didn't forget it, he admitted that his math was taught by his physical education teacher, and his physical education was taught by his history teacher...

Dealing with these numbers is even more of a headache than taking "advanced math" classes.

However... when counting the goods, Guan Lin discovered a talent. Others used a small notebook to memorize the goods one by one, and then added them up.

This brother actually used "calculation" to get the answer...

Moreover, Guan Lin looked at... he actually used the "geometry" company and the Pythagorean theorem, and the calculation results were often the same as those counted by these clerks.

This is amazing!

Guan Lin couldn't help asking, "What's your name?"

——"Mi Yang"

Guan Lin dipped his hands in water, wrote the character "Yang" on the table, and asked him, "Is this Yang (yang)?"

The kid shook his head.

"It's not... it's the yang of 'Yangchun Budeze, all things are radiant' in the Yuefu poem "Long Song Xing"."

"Then... what's your word?" Guan Lin was suddenly very interested in this kid.

Mi Yang bowed his hands solemnly.

——"Boy Mi Yang, whose name is Luo Geng, meet the Fourth Young Master!"

Luo Geng?

Mi Luogeng!
Obediently, give your son such a name?Could it be that... when he was in the womb, Mi Fang had predicted that his son would be associated with "mathematics" in this life?
This is no longer terrifying. In the field of mathematics, is this "the posture of a great emperor"?
