Chapter 378 Disappearing
Wang Hua said: "I said in Shifang that there are many possibilities. It may not necessarily be the treasure buried by Wang Mang. Another example is Gengshi Emperor Liu Xuan. At the beginning of the army, Liu Yan and Liu Xiu brothers made the most contributions, but the new city general Pinglin Indulgence, avoiding Liu Yan's majesty, and greedy for Xuan's cowardice, so Liu Xiu made Liu's brother Xuan the master. Later, Liu Xiu risked his life to fight to end the overall situation, and even persuaded Liu Xuan to kill Liu Xuan.
brothers.Xiu Zeng persuaded his brother to act badly, but he refused to listen.In a few days, Xuan took the role of Liu Ji, the number one brave general under his command, and later took the role and killed him.Xiu Wenzhi apologized from his father's city to the garden, not to mention the merits of Kunyang, and did not dare to wear mourning for the performance, eating, talking and laughing as usual.After Xuan heard about it, he was ashamed and worshiped Xiu as the general who broke the captives.Then wait for the opportunity to get Xuanming, and comfort Hebei with integrity.Finally, the Jiaolong escaped from the sea, and the goshawk flew high in the sky.Xiu was almost alone, and in just over a year, he destroyed many heroes in Hebei and owned thousands of miles of land. "

Everyone also sighed for a while, Liu Xiu's character was originally weak, but since the Kunyang battle, his character has become decisive and brave.From Kunyang to Hebei for more than a year, he was outnumbered many times, wandering between life and death, but after experiencing many times of life and death, he finally strengthened his strength and gained a great reputation.When Liu Xiu general Kou Xun and Zhu Tuan general Su Mao fought, Feng Yi led his army to rescue Kou army. Kou Xun saw that his army was still insufficient despite this, so he ordered his soldiers to shout: "Liu Gong's soldiers are here." The army was defeated, so Kou Feng joined forces, crossed the Yellow River, and defeated Zhu Tuan's army.In fact, Liu Xiu's name was used in this battle, which almost wiped out Zhu Yu's generation of heroes.The shadow of the tree, the name of the person, who would have thought that Liu Xiu was still a frail scholar two years ago?Is it not God's will?

Wang Hua also said: "After more than a year, the two forces finally collided. When Xuan's general Fan Shenchengxiu's general Deng Yu attacked Anyi for several months, he led tens of thousands of people to attack Yu, but was counterattacked by Yu. Then Wang Kuang and other generals led an army of [-] to attack Yu again, and they were defeated by Yu within three days. They were also forced by the red-browed army, and became more and more embarrassed, so the monarch and his ministers were separated. Liu Xuan knew about the few generals and planned to kill them. But only Shen Tujian was beheaded, and the other generals joined forces to protect themselves, so the monarchs and ministers turned against each other, Xuan was defeated, and fled to Zhao Meng in Xinfeng. But not long after, Xuan joined forces with Zhao Meng and Li Song to retake Chang'an. But this When the Red Eyebrow Army marched westward, Xuan's generals surrendered to Red Eyebrow one after another. Xuan knew that he was in danger, and soon fled alone. Unfortunately, when he arrived in Gaoling, he was surrounded by his right assistant Du Weiyan, whose real name was Suwei. In order to use this skill to seek refuge with Chimei. One month later, Liu Xuan was forced to surrender, and Shang Yuxi was supported by the puppet Liu Penzi supported by the Chimei Army. The Chimei Army wanted to kill Liu Xuan, but fortunately Liu Gong and others rescued him. He was proclaimed King of Changsha. However, the people of the Sanfu were bitter and tyrannical, and wanted to steal Liu Xuan out and make him emperor again. He was strangled by Chimei."

"This is recorded in the history books. But I still don't understand how the people of the Sanfu have the courage to support Liu Xuan. Besides, Liu Xuan is not a good emperor either. If he has the courage to support Liu Xuan, it is better to go east and welcome him." Emperor Guangwu. So is it possible that when Liu Xuan fled alone, he was unwilling to bury some of his property, and then used the property to buy some dead soldiers when he was trapped in the hands of Chimei? And he was greedy for money He hadn't really lost control of Chang'an when he fled, so it's impossible not to arrange some belongings. And these belongings couldn't be taken away when he fled alone. Can you imagine that he ordered people to bury these belongings somewhere?"

Everyone was stunned at first, and then thought about it carefully, the possibility that Wang Hua said could also be established.

"Besides, Gongsunshu, when Guangwu became emperor, he also established himself as emperor and established a family. Later, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu sent envoys Yu Jiang many times but refused. In the 11th year of Jianwu, the Han court sent Cen Peng to conquer Wu Han. He quickly entered Shu, set aside Wuyang, and attacked Guangdu, only tens of miles away from Chengdu. Gongsun Shu was shocked and said, "Hey!" This attack was over. In the second year, the Great Sima Wu Han went on a personal expedition. From the first month to November, there were eight battles and eight grams. Only the last battle, Gongsun Shu’s first brave Yancen defeated the Wu Han army. But the Han general Zang The army of the palace also killed. Chengdu was besieged on all sides, and finally Yancen surrendered the city. Wu Han hated his stubbornness, punished the Gongsun family, plundered the city, and burned the palace. The city fell for three days, and tens of thousands of people died. Killed. But what I’m talking about is another point. Gongsun Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Yizhou for 12 years. Shu was rich in products. A way out?"

Everyone smiled wryly. Although it sounds a bit unbelievable, it seems to be true.

"Let's talk about Liu Yong, the eighth grandson of King Liang Xiao. In Yuan Shizhong, his father Liu Li communicated with the Wei family of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, and was punished by Wang Mang. He ascended the throne at Gengshi, and he was named King of Liang and his capital Juyang. When Gengshi was chaotic, he raised troops according to the country and attacked 28 cities including Shanyin. When Gengshi was defeated, he established himself as the emperor. Tuo surrendered to Han, and Su Mao returned to his fate. Liu Xiu asked Su Mao to cooperate with Gai Yan to attack Yong. However, the two tigers were incompatible. Gai and Su turned against each other, and Su Mao turned against again. Surrounding Juyang, Su and Jiaoqiang joined forces to rescue each other, but were defeated by Gai Yan. Su Mao returned Guangguang, and forced Cong Yong to protect Huling. So Liu Yongli Zhang Bu was the king of Qi, and Dong Xian was the king of Haixi. Bao. Liu Xiu had no choice but to order the great Sima Wu Han to send troops again. Su Mao and Zhou Jian rescued Mao, but they were all defeated. The two abandoned the city and fled back to Huling. But at this time, something happened. Yong. Wu Han and Gai Yan joined forces to encircle Juyang, and the city was exhausted. Yongcai, Mao, and Jian fled to Feng. Wu Gai's army pursued, Liu Yong beheaded Qingwu and Liu Yong surrendered. But Su Mao set up Liu Yongzi He became the king of Liang. It was not until the fifth year of Jianwu that Liu Xiu personally conquered Dong Xian, Su Mao and others. But Liu Yu still did not know where he was. Can you also imagine it. The last time Liu Yong fled, although there was a lack of food in Juyang City , but the treasure is still there. The people of Juyang have a heart for Liu Yong, so Liu Yong buried some property in order to make a comeback. And the news was also told to Liu Yu, but unfortunately Liu Yu dared not take it out under the search. Later, for some reason, only half of Guan Jian’s two halves of the jade ring was obtained by Liu Yu’s descendants, and the whereabouts of the other half was unknown, so the treasure could not be taken out. Until today, this half of the jade ring was unearthed. But the news leaked, which caused murderous intentions. "

The same can be said.

"Not only the four of them, but also other people, such as Li Xian, Qin Feng, Zhang Bu, Dong Xian, and Tian Rong, all have such and such opportunities to lay down some treasures in order to make a comeback. So do you think this treasure is there? What about this?"

Everyone didn't believe it at first, but after hearing Wang Hua's explanation, they became confused.I don't know if it's true or not.

But Shangguan Xiaowan rolled her eyes and said, "No, this treasure is still fake."

"why?"

"Because if it is true, when that piece of jade disappeared, your expression was not so calm."

After all, what Wang Hua lacks most now is money. Although it sounds vulgar, if he gets a huge amount of money, Wang Hua will also go crazy.Because he has money, he can immediately give relief to the people.

"Zhaorong, then you guessed wrong. I have made arrangements in advance. I have very few clues in this case so far. In order to solve the case and do not want to cause more lives, I discussed with the princess and deliberately Bao'er gave this piece of jade to Lei Zhan. Use it to lure the snake out of the hole."

"Princess, so you are singing an opera? It's hard to lie to me." Shangguan Xiaowan turned around and complained to Li Gu'er.

"Zhaorong, my vomiting is real, it's disgusting. Erlang just asked me to find a reason to come out at the right time and let me pass the jade to a certain guard. I don't know if there is still a piece of jade left." With that kind of background, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat a bite of food in the restaurant." Having said that, her face was still pale for a while.It was disgusting, luckily she didn't touch it.

"wrong."

"Zhaorong, what's wrong?" Wang Hua looked at this beautiful young woman, knowing that she was flawed, but seeing her talent and her petite appearance, it was hard for Wang Hua to feel disgusted.

"Scholar Wang, let me ask you, where did the knowledge of jade you mentioned come from? Also, you don't seem to have learned lacquerware, nor bronze ware, nor did you learn 氍毹.Your crafts are not found in various ancient books. Where did you get them?"

Weird.

If it is arithmetic, he still knows it without a teacher, but crafts need time to hone.It is understandable to create the same thing, but it is incomprehensible to create too much and Wang Hua is young.

Wang Hua shrugged his shoulders and said, "No one else, wise, hardworking, willing to learn and think."

"It's strange to believe you," Shangguan Xiaowan said helplessly.

Zhang Jiuling was also shaking his head in his heart. He knew that Wang Hua had more and more incredible things.If you use ghosts and gods to explain it, but Wang Hua doesn't believe in ghosts and gods very much.

Walking up the small building, Zhang Jiuling was stunned for a moment. He saw a young girl with a frail appearance, which made people feel a little pitiful.Isn't it the infatuated little lady of the Wang family?
He also heard that the little lady of the Wang family met Wang Hua in Huazhou, but it was understandable to save her second brother.But why did she come to Huazhou with Wang Hua again?The Wang family has a strict family style, and they would not agree to let her and Wang Hua run after Wang Hua while their identities are still undecided.

This made him Zhang Er monk puzzled.

He didn't know that the Wang family's idea was that Wang Han's time would not last long, to see if he could follow Wang Hua's back, untie the knot in his heart, and improve his condition.Of course, this is also related to Wang Hua's character. If something happens between Wang Hua and Wang Han, I believe Wang Hua will be responsible.So it is good for Wang Han and the Wang family, but it is a good thing.They are not optimistic about the final outcome of Wang Hua and Li Gu'er.In addition, Li Chiying's whereabouts are unknown.Wang Hua must marry a wife after all.Therefore acquiescence to the matter, if possible, is still secretly supported.

Wang Han greeted him with a smile.

Zhang Jiuling turned her head to look at Li Bao'er, worried that the princess would get jealous and go crazy.But I didn't expect that Li Bao'er's face was very calm, as if he didn't see it.

Weird.

Looking at the other people, they also had calm faces.

In fact, only Shangguan Xiaowan knew something, and the others were also terrified at first, not knowing what happened.It's commonplace now, so no surprises.

After the servants prepared the meals, Wang Hua called another guard and asked him to invite Zhang Jiazhen to come over for dinner.In fact, eating is fake, but discussing disaster relief is real.

After Zhang Jiazhen arrived, Wang Hua explained his thoughts in the afternoon.

Wang Hua's idea is good.But this requires the cooperation of Bianzhou officials.If you don't cooperate, or even play something in the middle, Wang Hua's plan will fall through.For example, if they let out a little rumor that all the rich and rich in Bianzhou were not interested in Wang Hua's ideas, or that they would not buy alkaline land in disguise, then Wang Hua would not be able to raise funds.Without money, there is no way to build water conservancy, and there is no way to further improve the alkaline land and enclose the swamp and wetland.Then the disaster victims will cut off this way out.And doing so does not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty.Wang Hua was helpless.

If it is a little more ruthless, I agree to buy it.However, mischief during the construction of water conservancy may not improve the alkaline land, but accelerate the restoration of the alkaline land.Then the winner of the land can use this to quarrel with the court.At that time, the court will be very embarrassed, so it is possible to return the money.After all, Tang law does not allow the sale of land.At the same time, he will pursue the responsibility of Wang Hua and Li Chongjun.

Or the imperial court sends other officials to supervise, God knows whether they will be bribed by them, or even be complicit.Unless Wang Hua personally supervised it, it would be impossible. The water conservancy work must wait until the flood recedes.At that time, Wang Hua might have been called back to Luoyang long ago.Even staying in Bianzhou, water conservancy is a long process, maybe one year, maybe two years, it is impossible for Wang Hua to stay in Bianzhou for such a long time.

Therefore, Bianzhou officials need to actively cooperate.

Will it?
So far no official has brought up the matter.Zhang Jiuling and Zhang Jiazhen came to Bianzhou not long ago, and they didn't know the situation. Could it be that none of the Bianzhou officials didn't know about the situation?Why didn't a single official take the initiative to report.

That explains the problem.

Now that Wang Hua has cut off their source of income, will he take the initiative to cooperate?
All three are smart people, and there is a young woman who is also very smart, but when these four are added together, there is no way to discuss it.

Finally, Wang Hua said: "Then just wait for a wedge."

Everyone knows that this is a gamble, and Bianzhou officials did not participate in hoarding on a large scale like Huazhou officials, let alone breaking the river embankment. Where can there be a wedge to shock them?
But Wang Hua said again: "Let's go to Ding's house to have a look."

"You go, we won't go," Li Gu'er said.Although he knew that Ding Zhai's cry was not a ghost, but he was always a little scared in his heart.

Wang Hua smiled.

On the contrary, Li Chongjun became more courageous, together with a few guards, the two Zhangs were equally curious, and came to Ding's house together.

Ding's house has been deserted for a long time, there are piles of soil and rubble everywhere, and there are many spider webs on the corners. With the faint starlight, you can see the gray layer.Wang Hua turned around carefully, and raised his head to look at the surrounding courtyard, but did not speak.

Li Chongjun asked: "Scholar Wang, what can you see?"

"Not many are seen, but don't worry, Prince, someone will come tomorrow and tell you some secrets."

"who?"

"The heavenly secret must not be revealed," Wang Hua said, and walked back with a smile.

But the next morning, someone told them a news.But the news sounds bad.Yan Tingzhi and An Renli rushed over from the pier and reported to Wang Hua that they had lost the boat.

Li Chongjun was a little confused.

Wang Hua explained that long before they came to Bianzhou, Wang Hua had arranged some boats on the piers on both sides of the Bian River and the Ji River.Because of what happens, the biggest traffic in Bianzhou is the waterway.In fact, when Ding Zhu's four apprentices left the city, Wang Hua didn't order them, and the people he arranged followed them.In fact, people were arranged to monitor Ding Zhu's apprentices a long time ago.Later it was discovered that they were on a boat, so Yan Tingzhi and An Renli followed their boat with a few reliable guards to see where they were going.

No wonder Wang Hua didn't panic when he heard Ding Zhu's four apprentices leave yesterday, Li Chongjun thought.But now it seems to be bad.

Sure enough, Wang Hua's expression turned serious."What's going on?" he asked.

Yan Tingzhi replied: "Yesterday they boarded the boat and went down the Bian River. In the evening, they came to Songzhou and moored the boat. We also moored the boat to the other side and continued to monitor. But God When it got dark, we saw that the lights on the ship had not been lit, and we realized that something was wrong, so we sent someone to quietly board their ship. However, there was no one on board. The strangest thing is that we have been watching Well, we didn’t see a single person going ashore. There was also a boat parked outside this boat at that time, so I took people on board that boat to check, and we didn’t see anyone from this boat either. It seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. "

"Disappear out of thin air? Are you sure."

"That's not what we meant. Later, Yan Tongnian and I also discussed this matter, see, Xueshi Wang," An Renli said from the side.As he spoke, he picked up a pen and drew a simple schematic diagram on paper.Then he said: "Our boats are parked on the west side. If the people in their boats come ashore, we will definitely see it. But there are still some blind spots. If they go quietly, use the water loop, and dive to the other boat On the boat, it was dark at that time, so it was difficult for us to find out. Why did they follow the water, unless they knew that we were watching them. This is also the strangest place. Not many people knew that our group was watching Ding Zhu's disciples. They are all reliable people. These people will not leak the news. Even Yan Tongnian told me after I got on the boat. How do they know that we are following them? You must know that there are countless boats on Bianshui, don’t Say we have one ship, or two ships, follow them, as long as they don't deliberately expose them, they won't notice."

Yan Tingzhi said again: "So we discussed and finally came to a possible conclusion. Unless there are other people following them, and the people on the boat know each other and are hostile to them. That's why we took advantage of the dark and the water to go on board. Another ship."

Finished with a look of frustration.

This time, the strange departure of Ding Zhu's four apprentices represented a useful clue, but this clue was interrupted.If I had known this earlier, it would be better to arrest them when they boarded the ship.

The two also scratched their heads, and had no choice but to return to Bianzhou overnight and report to Wang Hua.

Wang Hua also had annoyed expression on his face. After thinking hard for a long time, he said, "Go down and rest first."

Shangguan Xiaowan asked: "What should we do this time?"

She had only heard about the curse case last time, but this time she experienced it herself.The more complicated the case, the more interested she became.This is a smart man's game.

Wang Hua said: "This clue is interrupted, let's see if we can break through from other aspects. Now I am worried about the lives of these four people."
Just as he was talking, someone reported outside that a little lady named Ruo Ruxue was asking to see her.

Wang Hua said: "Just in time, I want to look for her too, maybe her life is also in danger."

Others don't know, but Li Chongjun and Zhang Jiuling know about Ruoxue, they are very strange, why is this little girl's life in danger?
Ruo Ruxue walked in, her delicate appearance caught everyone's eyes.

But Wang Hua asked: "Miss Ruo, I'm waiting for you to come in. Finally, are you willing to tell me something?"

Ruo Ruxue smiled slyly, and asked back: "Scholar Wang, what do you know about me?"

"I don't know much, but I just wanted to ask you, why have you sneaked into Ding's house late at night to cry for more than a year?"
