Chapter 799: A lot of help(2/4)
Let's talk about Zhang Rang and his entourage. Zhang Rang and his entourage traced the matter to the mass grave outside the city with great enthusiasm.
After arriving, something unexpected happened again.
This is because the dead people who were transported from the palace and buried in mass graves often carried some valuable items with them. Even if there were no items, the clothes on the dead people in the palace were still valuable.
There were many poor people in Luoyang, so when a dead person was brought out from the palace, as soon as he was buried, as soon as the people in the palace left, the poor people rushed to dig the person out and snatch the things from the dead person.
When Zhang Rang rushed to the mass grave, he encountered a group of people digging up corpses. Seeing the palace people coming, the diggers fled in all directions.
Zhang Rang was furious and ordered his soldiers to capture the fleeing people.
When the soldiers moved, the diggers became more frightened and fled faster.
Finally, after the soldiers chased and chased them, less than half of them were captured, and the rest all escaped.
Zhang Rang interrogated the arrested people severely, and the people who exhumed the corpses asked and answered questions cautiously.
Soon, Zhang Rang asked about the reason. Zhang Rang was not interested in the exhumation of corpses to make money. He was just worried that Liu Bei would be in trouble if someone escaped and ascended to heaven.
Zhang Rang pressed the exhumers and asked where the new corpses brought from the palace were buried and whether they had been dug up or transported away. The poor people were afraid of getting into trouble and just said they didn't know.
The clue was cut off. Zhang Rang's face was gloomy. He looked at the messy mass graves and said, "dig!" Zhang Rang gave the order, "if you want to see the person alive, you will see the corpse if you die!"
Under Zhang Rang's order, the soldiers could only pick up shovels and hoes and start digging in the mass graves.
This busy work lasts only half a day.
After digging for a long time, many dead bodies were found, but none of them belonged to Liu Bei.
The soldiers couldn't stand the disgusting stench of corpses, so he came up with a plan and said to Zhang Rang, "Your Excellency, we have searched all over the burial ground, but there is no trace of Liu Bei. Liu Bei may not have entered the mass graves, but he may have died halfway."
Being rescued..."
Zhang Rang's expression changed slightly, and his expression became ugly.
——
Soon, the people of Luoyang saw many people heading towards the mass graves outside the city, and the people talked a lot.
Zhang Rang sent a large number of men to the vicinity of the mass graves. They kicked down the doors of every house and searched without any explanation, scraping the ground three feet away to find Liu Bei.
Zhang Rang's actions are very logical, but it is obvious that the results will not be as expected. This is not so much that Zhang Rang is stupid, but that the system is too confusing.
The year is getting worse, and even Luoyang, under the emperor's feet, is also getting worse. Thanks to the ten constant servants, the palace is becoming more and more chaotic. As a result, maids and eunuchs often die mysteriously in the palace, so that corpses accumulate in the morgue.
Because there were so many corpses, corpses were transported outside the city frequently. Therefore, when Zhang Rang went to the morgue to look for people, the corpses had already been transported outside the city several times.
Also thanks to the gift of the ten permanent servants, because the ten permanent servants disrupted the imperial court, the government's decrees were ineffective, and the prosperity of the people was declining, so that even in Luoyang, there were more and more poor people.
In order to make a living, the idea is to kill the dead.
As a result, when Zhang Rang rushed to the mass grave in a hurry, he found that the mass grave had already been dug up, which caused Zhang Rang a huge misjudgment.
In short, thanks to Zhang Rang, the order in the palace and outside Luoyang City has become increasingly chaotic. Unexpectedly, on this day, the chaotic order was reflected back to Zhang Rang, and the chaos was
The order's backlash interfered with Zhang Rang's judgment, causing Zhang Rang to run around like a headless fly.
How could these short-sighted traitors like Zhang Rang know that their evil deeds have turned the world into chaos? How could they know that when order is disrupted, everyone will suffer, including themselves, Shi Changshi.
If the palace is quiet and orderly, then there will not be too many people who die in vain, and there will not be many people who die in vain, and there will not be many corpses in the morgue.
You can ask and find out.
Furthermore, if the court was quiet and the people of Luoyang were well-off, there would not be so many people making money from the dead, the clues in the mass graves would not be destroyed so quickly, and tracking would not be so troublesome.
The Ten Permanent Attendants disrupted the order in the palace, court, and city, and outside the city. This will definitely affect everyone including the Ten Permanent Attendants.
For example, if the Ten Constant Attendants act restrained and the order in the palace and city is good, then the Ten Constant Attendants will probably be safe even if they are walking outside the city alone.
The chaos caused by Shi Changshi's disorder made it possible that even if Shi Changshi was escorted out of the city by heavy soldiers, he might still be assassinated by the poor people who had no way out and wanted to throw away their heads and seek death.
It is absolutely impossible for Zhang Rang to easily search for Liu Bei's traces. Thanks to the ten permanent servants, the order is too chaotic.
Even if Zhang Rang was beaten to death, he would not have thought that he and the other ten regular servants were committing adultery and causing trouble, but they were actually helping Liu Xuande.
——
Half a day has passed since Jian Yong waited for Liu Bei to disappear and had to visit various court officials to get the news.
During this half day, Jian Yong kept visiting the court officials one after another. Que repeatedly encountered obstacles and the officials avoided him as if they had made an appointment.
After receiving such a cold reception, Jian Yong guessed that there was a change in the court, and his heart sank.
Jian Yong looked at the list. All the officials who had visited before had been visited, and there were only two additional officials left.
The two extra people were Wang Yun of Yin of Henan and Cai Yong of Situ Yu.
Jian Yong looked up to the sky and sighed, with no choice but to look for the last two lists.
Jian Yong hurriedly found Wang Yun, but Wang Yun was missing.
Jian Yong no longer had any hope, so he went to find Cai Yong again.
When they arrived at Cai Yong's house, Cai Yong was not there. The old servant asked Jian Yong to come in. Jian Yong was cautious and refused to go in. He just waited at the door.
After a long time, as the sun was setting, Cai Yong came back slowly carrying two fresh fish.
Approaching the door of his house, Cai Yong saw someone waiting at the door.
After taking a closer look, Cai Yong was overjoyed when he saw the person clearly. He hurried over and said, "Ah, Mr. Jian Yong!"
Jian Yong heard the sound, turned around and saw Cai Yong, a smile appeared on Jian Yong's sad face.
"I've met Brother Cai!" Jian Yong greeted Cai Yong.
Cai Yong grabbed Jian Yong's hand enthusiastically and said, "Let's go! Let's talk after we get home."
Jian Yong wanted to ask for something, so he went to Cai Yong's house with Cai Yong at his invitation.
After entering Cai's house, Cai Yong gave the fish to the servant and asked the servant to cook the fish to entertain guests.
Then, Jian Yong and Cai Yong were speechless.
Jian Yong was thinking about how to ask Cai Yong circumstantially, but Cai Yong kept looking up at Jian Yong. He wanted to ask something several times, but was a little embarrassed.
"This... Mr. Jian Yong." Cai Yong observed Jian Yong's expression and asked cautiously.
"Ah?" Jian Yong came back to his senses and forced a smile, "What did Brother Cai say?"
"Well... the paper Mr. Jian Yong gave me last time was really good!" Cai Yong smiled sheepishly, "Last time Mr. Jian Yong gave me the paper, but I couldn't bear it and finished it in one go.
I wonder if you, sir, still have any stock? If so, no matter what the price, please give me some of them!" After saying that, Cai Yong was afraid that Jian Yong would not agree, so he clasped his fists and begged, "If not, please tell me where the paper came from.
Thank you very much for buying it!"
Jian Yong smiled and said, "So that's why, haha! How expensive is paper? I still have a lot of it in my hand. I'll bring it to my brother soon!"
Cai Yong was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, thank you!"
Taking the opportunity, Jian Yong sighed and asked Cai Yong, "Brother, I am in trouble. I hope you can help me."
"But it's okay to talk." Cai Yong looked solemn when he heard that Jian Yong was in trouble.
Jian Yong looked sad and sighed, "My lord Liu Xuande went to court to see His Majesty this morning, but he has not returned yet, and there is no news at all.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I am not sure and want to ask my brother for help and find out something."
Cai Yong thought for a while and said, "This matter is not difficult, so I will ask it for you sir."
After saying that, Cai Yong stood up and said, "Sir, I'm waiting in the room. I'll come back as soon as I go."
Where could Jian Yong wait? He excused himself and went back to get the paper, and went out with Cai Yong.
After leaving the house, Jian Yong and Cai Yong parted ways and went about their business.
Jian Yong hurried back to the inn where he was staying, packed up all the papers left in the inn and took them away.
Holding a stack of papers, Jian Yong hurriedly went to Cai's house.
Outside the door, when it was getting dark, Jian Yong finally waited for Cai Yong.
When they met twice, Jian Yong saw that Cai Yong looked bad, so Jian Yong hurriedly asked what happened.
Cai Yong sighed and stopped talking, "Mr. Jian Yong, let's go back to the house first."
Back in the house, Cai Yong told Jian Yong in a few words that he had obtained the news from Shangguan. Cai Yong said that this morning in the court hall, Liu Bei angrily accused the ten permanent servants of causing trouble in the country and causing chaos in the government. The emperor was furious and ordered the soldiers to arrest Liu Bei and imprison him.
If you don't obey, you will hit the pillar head first, and you will not know whether you will live or die.
"Ah?!" Jian Yong was shocked and his face turned ashen.
Cai Yong lamented, "Oh, Shi Chang Shi has been doing evil for a long time, and no one in the court has touched his tiger beard. Xuande is a white man, as strong as a servant, which makes officials like me feel ashamed!"
Liu Bei's life and death were unknown, and Jian Yong was already in a state of confusion. Jian Yong put down the thick stack of papers in his arms to Cai Yong, and refused Cai Yong's attempts to stay. Jian Yong hurriedly left Cai's house.
After seeing Jian Yong off and back to the house, Cai Yong looked at the thick pile of white papers piled on the table. Cai Yong moved the papers and looked at them twice. Although the papers were of different sizes and not as good as last time, they were
All papers are far better than the best in Luoyang.
On normal days, Cai Yong would be very excited to get so many good pieces of paper.
But at this time, Cai Yong was in a bad mood when he heard in the court that Liu Bei was forced to hit a pillar because he criticized the ten regular servants.
"well!"
