Soldiers come to the world

Liu Jing didn't go to check the situation of defending the city, but went directly to the Tourist Payment Office two miles away. The Tourist Payment Office was newly built not long ago. Compared with the previous one, not only the building is more magnificent, but also the area is doubled.

But the number did not increase, and there were still more than a hundred people. The new governor, Cao, was surnamed Jiang. It was said that this person was somewhat related to Huang Zu.

Several main subordinates, Zhang Ping, were severely burned and eventually died.

And Shu Zuo Lu Sheng also followed Liu Jing to the military camp, where he served as a civilian officer. Among the officials of the Tourist Payment Office, Liu Jing only knew Li Jun.

It was also a coincidence that Liu Jing just got off his horse at the gate, but when he saw Li Jun walking out of the gate, Li Jun was pleasantly surprised, "Is it Mr. Jing?"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "I happen to have something to find you."

Li Jun hurriedly said: "My lord, please come to my official room to talk."

Liu Jing led the horse and followed him into the official room, looked at it with a smile and said, "It seems to be much more spacious than before."

"What's the use of spaciousness? If you don't do your job well, you'll feel panicked."

Li Jun invited Liu Jing to sit down, found a bottle of wine, and put out two plates of side dishes, Li Jun poured a glass of wine for Liu Jing, sighed: "This new Jiang Du Cao is an out-and-out greedy person, On the first day I took office, I implied that my brothers would be filial, and I was forced to give him 30 taels of gold. He made various excuses for the brothers who were not filial, and drove them out of the travel payment office one after another. Speak flattering words, and curse at the slightest offence."

Liu Jing frowned, "What is this person's background?"

"I heard that it is Huang Zu's brother-in-law. He was originally Cai Zhong's subordinate. He was jointly recommended by Cai Mao and Huang Zu. The background is very strong, so he is very arrogant."

Regardless of Liu Jing's past life or future life, this kind of thing has been seen a lot. In the officialdom, who is not fighting for the backstage!Moreover, this Li Jun also has a backer, and he is quite solid. It is said that he is a member of the Xiangyang prefect Li Gui's clan.

Liu Jing smiled, stopped talking about this matter, and turned the topic to serious matters, "I came to you because I have an urgent matter, and I would like to ask you for your help."

"Sir, please tell me, but if you can help me, I will never refuse!"

"That's right, a group of cargo ships from the Tao family were hijacked on the Han River and their whereabouts are unknown. Have you heard about this?"

Li Jun nodded, "I've also heard about this matter. It seems to be in the south of Yicheng County, which is not under our jurisdiction, so I didn't ask too much."

After a pause, Li Jun asked again: "Is this matter related to the young master?"

Liu Jing pondered for a while and said: "It's related to a friend of mine, he entrusted me, so let me ask you, who did it?"

Li Jun looked at the roof and thought for a long time, then slowly said: "Maybe I have a way to find out the truth, please give me two days, my lord."

. . . . . . . . .

Half an hour later, Li Jun appeared in Xiangyang City. He came to the small house again, knocked on the door rhythmically, and the door opened a crack, and he entered in a flash.

In the room, Jia Hong was sorting out information from all over Jingzhou when someone reported at the door: "Sir, Li Jun is here."

Jia Hong was startled, wondering what he was doing here, but then he thought, well, he was looking for him too.

"Let him in!"

Li Jun walked into the room quickly, bowed and saluted, "Sir!"

"You came just in time, I have something to tell you."

Jia Hong smiled slightly, "Sit down first and then talk!"

Li Jun sat down, and Jia Hong took a secret order from the table, "I just received a secret order from Xu Du today, ordering us to pay close attention to Liu Jing's situation. Yu Jin asked about his situation in detail."

He put the secret order back on the table. This is not something that Li Jun can see. Jia Hong said again: "So I thought about it, and you are the most suitable. I will find a way to transfer you to Liu Jing's army." , You also show your loyalty to Liu Jing, lest he find it strange."

Li Jun is a soldier, and he only knows how to obey orders absolutely. Since his boss has orders, he can only obey, but from the bottom of his heart, he also hopes that he can follow Liu Jing, at least to be more comfortable than he is now.

Seeing that he had no objection, Jia Hong laughed again and said, "Speak up! What's the matter?"

"Mr. Hui, I am also here for the matter of Liu Jing. He just came looking for a humble job."

Li Jun then told him about Liu Jing asking him to investigate the Tao family's ships, and finally said: "I don't know if I can help him, so I didn't agree, so I came here to ask for instructions."

Jia Hong frowned slightly, why would Liu Jing care about this matter?What is his relationship with the Tao family?

Jia Hong asked again: "Then how much do you know about this matter?"

"Humble job knows a little bit. One of the humble staff has found out some clues. This matter may have something to do with Zhang Yun."

'Zhang Yun? '

Jia Hong's eyes lit up. He knew that Liu Jing and Zhang Yun had a grudge against each other. If this matter could stir up a secret fight between Liu Jing and even Kuai Yue and Zhang Yun, wouldn't it be a good time to turn to Xu Du?

One of the secret orders that Jia Hong received today asked him to think of ways to stir up internal strife in Jingzhou. He was worried that he would not know what to do, and this matter came just in time.

Cai Mao formed an alliance with Zhang Yun, and Liu Jing had a close relationship with the Kuai family. It was a godsend opportunity. Thinking of this, Jia Hong quickly asked, "When do you promise to tell Liu Jing the result?"

"Humble job tell him, two days later."

Two days is indeed a bit tight, Jia Hong nodded, he must mobilize all forces to find out the matter as quickly as possible.

. . . . . . . . .

At this time, in Cai Mao's study, Cai Mao was discussing an important matter with Cai Zhong and Zhang Yun, and the cause of this matter was still Liu Biao.

Three months ago, because of the case of the Youjiao being burned, Liu Biao used Zhang Yun to deprive him of his Qubu, and broke up Zhang Yun's [-] private troops and distributed them to various armies in Jingzhou.

But in the end, Liu Biao couldn't get in the way of his family, and promised Zhang Yun that he could rebuild the Qubu. At this time, all the former private troops had been broken up and incorporated into the official army, and it was impossible to call them back, so Zhang Yun had to start recruiting again.

It takes a lot of money and food to build a private army of thousands of people. Zhang Yun didn't have much money, so he had to ask Cai Mao for help.

Out of his ally relationship, Cai Mao agreed to support him with a part of the food, and Zhang Yun had to settle the rest of the money and food by himself. Cai Mao pointed out a clear way for him to play the Tao family's idea.

Since ancient times, merchants have been the cash machines for the rich and powerful. The Tao family is the most wealthy in Jingzhou, but the Tao family is not an ordinary businessman. It is impossible to send a few soldiers to the door to make the Tao family spit out the money. It still has to be used. plot.

"Military division, everything is ready, when do you think it is better to do it?" Zhang Yun asked Cai Mao for advice in a low voice.

After the lessons learned by Youjiao, Zhang Yun has also become smarter, and he no longer takes responsibility independently. This strategy was made by Cai Mao, so Zhang Yun naturally wants to tie himself to Cai Mao. If anything happens, Cai Mao has to take the responsibility Go around by yourself.

Of course Cai Mao knew it well, but in order to win over Zhang Yun, he was still willing to take this risk, but the Tao family and Huang Zu were somewhat married, so it was inconvenient for him to come forward.

Cai Hao walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, turned back to Zhang Yun and said, "I have already told Jiang Ducao of the Youjia Office about this matter, and he promised to come forward to investigate, but you have to remember one thing, whether it is you Whether you encounter the navy patrol by accident, or you send troops on purpose, you must report to the state shepherd in time, and you must not make the mistake of last time."

"Please rest assured, military advisor, I won't make another mistake this time, but I'm a little worried that Xiangyang County will intervene, and the fake Tao family boatmen may be exposed."

Cai Mao laughed, "Don't worry, Wang Xie went to Xinye, and he won't come back until the day after tomorrow. That old fox Li Gui won't cause trouble easily. You record the statement as quickly as possible, and then silence the fake boatman, so there will be no more. If you prove it, the case can be made into an iron case, and then you can open your mouth as much as you like, and the Tao family will obediently pay for it."

Zhang Yun couldn't help but get excited, "Since Wang Yu will be back the day after tomorrow, then I think I will do it tonight, arrest people tomorrow and settle the matter before Wang Yu comes back. Even if he wants to intervene, he has nowhere to do it."

Cai Mao pondered for a moment, since the Tao family has come to Fancheng, it is not appropriate to delay the matter, he nodded, "Yes!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

At midnight, a fleet of more than [-] flat-bottomed cargo ships appeared on the Han River, more than [-] miles east of Fancheng.

This kind of flat-bottomed cargo ship is the main shipping force on the southern waterways. It has a shallow draft, a large cargo capacity, and is easy to control. No matter in the Han River or the Yangtze River, this kind of flat-bottomed cargo ship can be seen everywhere.

But this fleet of ships is a bit special, each ship has a double carp flag on the bow, which is the logo of the Tao family firm, which means that this fleet belongs to the Tao family.

The dark night is not suitable for sailing, the black water surface is sparkling, the waves are undulating, and there are hidden murderous intentions.

A steward of the Tao family stood on the big boat headed by him, looking around with a dignified expression. His name was Zhang Xian, and he was a junior steward of the Tao family.

More than ten days ago, he escorted a batch of purchased new cocoons to Chaisang, but they were detained by a group of unknown persons, and they were not released until an hour ago.

He didn't know what happened, why they were detained, and who were these people?He didn't know anything, but luckily the goods were not missing, so he could go back and explain to his owner.

However, Zhang Xian was still worried. He found that there were two more strange men. They were on the last ship without saying a word. He wanted to check the goods, but they refused to let him board the ship. Standing there, with a brutal attitude, made him feel a little bad in his heart.

"Steward, look!"

A boatman suddenly pointed at the water and shouted: "The boat from the Youpay Office is here!"

I saw more than [-] small boats appearing on the water, with the inspection black flag of the Tourist Payment Office flying on the boats, and more than a dozen big men with knives stood at the bow of the boats, and ordered the boats to stop aggressively.

"Stop the ship for inspection!"

Manager Zhang had no choice but to wave his hand, "Stop the boat!"

The fleet slowed down and stopped slowly. Before the ship stopped, dozens of Youjiao soldiers rushed onto the ship, brandishing long knives, and shouted across the water, "Pull off the tarpaulin, open the bilge!"

The leading officer was Cao Jiangzhong, the new governor who replaced Liu Jing. He jumped onto the main ship and asked Zhang Xian, "Where is the fleet?"

Zhang Xian hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his head and nodded, "We are the fleet of Dow Trading Company, and the ships are full of ordinary cargo."

Zhang Xian heard that Jiang Ducao is the concubine son-in-law of the Huang family, and his mistress is also the daughter of Jiangxia Huang's family, so he should give this face.

But Jiang Zhong obviously did not buy this account, he said coldly: "Even Dow Commercial Bank has to check, there is an order from above to strictly check prohibited items."

At this time, the inspecting soldiers shouted: "Du Cao, a military crossbow and a sword were found in the bilge."

Jiang Zhong's face changed drastically, he grabbed the steward Zhang Xian by the neck, and said viciously: "How dare you smuggle prohibited military products!"

"The villain doesn't know! The villain doesn't know!"

Zhang Xian was so frightened that he waved his hands again and again. He suddenly thought of something. Looking back, it was indeed the last big ship that was found. He suddenly realized that they must have been framed.

At this time, someone shouted again: "The patrol fleet of the navy is here."

I saw a fleet of warships appearing on the water, this is the Jingzhou Navy patrolling, consisting of more than [-] warships.

Zhang Yun stood on the first building boat, staring coldly at the Tao family fleet on the water not far away, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he saw a big fish caught in the net.

. . . . . . . . .

Liu Biao was woken up by his wife in his sleep, "General! General! It seems that there is something to report outside."

Liu Biao was sleepy and asked displeasedly, "What's the matter?"

A guard outside the door reported: "Report to the State Shepherd. The navy patrol found a fleet equipped with prohibited weapons. Captain Zhang asked the State Shepherd how to deal with it?"

Liu Biao yawned, and fell asleep again. He said impatiently, "Tell him, investigate to the end!"

The guards retreated, Liu Biao turned over and fell asleep again, but Madam Cai was puzzled, what was he doing?
