The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

"You are Xu Gong?"

Yuan Zhou had never met Xu Gong. After all, Xu Gong was just a small character. Even if he became the manager of the bank in Changsha County, his status was not high enough to talk to someone of Yuan Zhou's level.

So Yuan Zhou just wanted to see if this person was really the Xu Gong he was looking for.

Xu Gong heard Yuan Zhou's words, but he didn't intend to answer Yuan Zhou at all. He just raised his head and didn't respond at all.

Seeing this look of looking death at home, everyone just smiled faintly at this moment.

"Heh, he still has some guts, General Dian Wei, show him some color, I want to see how long he can last under the torture of our Jin Yiwei."

"Okay, I, Dianwei, like to torture people the most, so let me do it."

Dian Wei didn't refuse at all, and after Yuan Zhou proposed this method, he immediately prepared to charge towards Xu Gong.

Show him the ten punishments of Jin Yiwei.

However, before Dian Wei began to show his strength, Yu Ji who was beside him immediately spoke again.

"Your Majesty, don't be so troublesome. The old man has a skill and can obediently make him obedient."

"Oh? Do you have a solution?"

"Your Majesty, please step back."

Yu Ji didn't say much, but asked Dian Wei, Liu Zheng and others to take a few steps back.

Liu Zheng didn't want to use punishment at first. After all, if he accidentally beat Xu Gong to death, it would be troublesome. He still has a lot of things he wants to know.

While walking towards Xu Gong, Yu Ji spoke to Liu Zheng.

"This person came to my Taoist temple a few days ago. He was mysterious and said that he was a refugee fleeing nearby. However, after doing some calculations, I learned that this person can bring me a big battle." Because of chance, I kept him, and after a few days, I met His Majesty."

"Although I don't know how useful this person is to His Majesty, since he is the person His Majesty is looking for, I'm an experienced person, and I will naturally solve some troubles for Your Majesty."

The little Taoist shook his hands in front of Xu Gong, and the whisk flew up. Then, he stretched out his hands and waved them back and forth in front of Xu Gong.

It didn't take long for Xu Gong, who was still somewhat arrogant, to become confused.

Not long after, this Xu Gong became completely obedient under Yu Ji's few questions and answers.

Yuan Zhou and Dian Wei on the side were stunned for a moment, and almost really thought that Yu Ji was a god.

If Liu Zheng didn't know what hypnosis is.He would really be fooled by Yu Ji, an old Taoist priest.

"Your Majesty, it's fine. Now Xu Gong is under my control. No matter what His Majesty asks, he can answer His Majesty."

After the old man Yu Ji controlled Xu Gong, he immediately responded respectfully to Liu Zheng and asked Liu Zheng to come and ask questions in person.

Both Yuan Zhou and Dian Wei were a little curious, and they followed Liu Zheng and approached Xu Gong together.

"Your name is Xu Gong?"

Liu Zheng asked some tentative questions.

Xu Gong's eyes were blurred, as if out of control, he opened his mouth to answer Liu Zheng.

"Yes. My name is Xu Gong."

"Where are you from?"

Liu Zheng didn't directly ask what he wanted to know, but first asked some other irrelevant things. The purpose was also to test this Xu Gong and see if he was the real Xu Gong. ,

"From Runan County, Yuzhou."

"When did you come to Yangzhou?"

"three years ago."

"What to do in Yangzhou?"

"Working as a steward of a bank in Changsha County."

"Who is the prefect of Changsha County?"

"Zhang Xian."

After Liu Zheng heard Xu Gong's answer, he believed in what he said.

Although the answers were straightforward, they were all gentle. If it was a temporary impersonation, it would not be possible to know so many things.

"A few days ago, what happened to that ship on the Yangtze River?"

"The sinking of the ship was just a trick I set up to steal money, and I dropped the box containing the money."

"Then tell me, the whole story of this matter."

The reason why Liu Zheng wants to arrest Xu Gong is naturally because of the sinking of the money, and the same is true for asking Xu Gong now.

"The bank is accumulating money very quickly. When we saw the money, we became greedy, so"

Xu Gong began to slowly tell Liu Zheng his story.

He spoke very slowly, after all he was in a state of confusion, but after talking for a long time, Liu Zheng finally understood the whole process of this matter.

It turned out that Xu Gong liked money and things quite a lot. He wanted to be rich, but he had no skills. Relying on his clan relationship with Xu You, he won the job in charge of the bank in Changsha County. That's good, but when the money in the bank increases, Xu Gong will inevitably feel a little bit moved.

Once, when he returned to Wu County, he encountered an eddy in the waters of the Yangtze River, and ships would often stay silent here, so he thought, if a ship with money sinks here, the court must be able to do it even if it is capable. If you can't make money in the river, this matter will definitely go away.

So he secretly began to implement the plan.

Originally, his plan was flawless, and no one could know it. The court thought it was the disaster of the river monster. Who knew that Liu Zheng, who was an inquisitive person, ran away after hearing the wind.

"One last question for you, does this matter have anything to do with Xu You?"

Chapter 859 The Man of Destiny

Liu Zheng's words got to the core of the question.

Not only Liu Zheng himself wanted to know, but even Yuan Zhou who was beside him wanted to know especially. After all, Xu You was Liu Zheng's direct descendant.

If Xu You participated in this matter, it would not be good news for Liu Zheng.

At that time, Liu Zheng might really not know how to deal with Xu You.

That Xu Gong, with blurred eyes, after hearing Liu Zheng asked this question, still didn't have any expression, and responded to Liu Zheng lightly.

"This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Xu You. It's just that I was greedy for money and came up with this plan. But after I got the money, I donated part of it to Mr. Xu You. Mr. Xu You didn't know that I stole the money, so he didn't refuse."

Xu Gong also told Liu Zheng about Xu You.

When Liu Zheng heard Xu Gong say that Xu You did not directly participate in this matter, he was relieved. After all, Liu Zheng is not a person who likes to kill donkeys.

Xu You's contribution to him is still great.

Liu Zheng will not ignore this point. Directly obliterating meritorious ministers will leave an indelible impact on future generations, but what Xu Gong said cannot be completely irrelevant to Xu You.

After all, the reason why Xu Gong did this kind of thing was because Xu You was ignorant, and secondly, he accepted Xu Gong's money and bribes, which was an added crime.

Therefore, for Xu You's treatment, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped.

"Okay, thank you Immortal Master Yu Ji, I have understood the truth of the matter."

After Liu Zheng finished asking what he wanted to know, he didn't care so much about Xu Gong.

Telling Yu Ji that he had finished the questioning, Yu Ji also waved his hand casually, and the white whisk waved in front of Xu Gong, which immediately relieved Xu Gong of the hypnosis.

When Xu Gong woke up, he was still in a daze, completely unaware of what happened.

"Immortal Master Yu Ji, it's useless for this person to stay with you. For me, he still has some uses. Why don't you just leave him to me?"

Although Liu Zheng spoke to Yu Ji in a negotiating tone, his tone was unquestionable, and Yu Ji could not tolerate objections.

Xu Gong was indeed a useless person to Yu Ji, so Yu Ji did not refute what Liu Zheng said.

"This person is of no use to me. Since His Majesty needs it, he can take it away at any time."

"Alright then, Yuan Zhou, take Xu Gong back."

Liu Zheng was not polite, and directly ordered Yuan Zhou to take Xu Gong back. Only by taking Xu Gong back can Liu Zheng convict Xu You, and then he can make an example of others, deter the officials, and let those who have evil intentions. , to be a little more honest.

After solving Xu Gong's matter, Liu Zheng became less vigilant and began to focus on the Taoist temple of Langya Immortal Palace.

Of course, it is mainly Yu Ji, the old magic stick.

Up to now, Liu Zheng still has some doubts in his mind, whether Yu Ji, an old guy, really has some fairy arts that he doesn't know about, or is he just an old magic stick.

"Immortal Master Yu Ji, this time we were able to catch the fugitive Xu Gong. The immortal master has helped us a lot. How can I thank the immortal master?"

Liu Zheng said something to Yu Ji, and Liu Zheng had some different views on Yu Ji at this time.

On the one hand, he was a little jealous of Yu Ji's methods of demagogy, on the other hand, he felt that Yu Ji, an old Taoist priest, had some skills, so he didn't want to kill him like this.

Looking at the appearance of the old Taoist, even if he is not killed, he will not live for a few years.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about thanking? It is my duty to help His Majesty. After all, Your Majesty will be the man of destiny in this world. In the future, he will definitely bring peace to this world. It is also a blessing for me to be able to contribute to Your Majesty." point."

"Oh, from Immortal Master Yu Ji's tone, it seems that he knows me very well?"

"Understood but dare not take it. It's just that I am an old man who occasionally observes the stars at night. Through the stars, I can perceive some things. Your Majesty is a man of destiny, detached from this world. I am an old man who can't see through your majesty's fate. This kind of fate, only There are only those with destiny.”

Yu Ji spoke again to Liu Zheng, not knowing whether it was touting or really being so magical.

After Liu Zheng heard Yu Ji's words, he had some affirmation of Ji's ability.

Yu Ji can even guess that he is not from this world.

It seems that the fortune-telling and stargazing skills he learned are not in vain.

It is a secret that Liu Zheng does not belong to this world, no one knows except himself.

But Yu Ji, an old man, was able to see some clues through fortune-telling and fortune-telling.

Although he may not be able to directly guess that Liu Zheng is a modern person who traveled through time.But what he just said is enough to show that he is indeed capable.

Originally Liu Zheng was a person who didn't really believe in these illusory things, but now after hearing Yu Ji's words, he has some interest in this kind of thing.

"Immortal Master Yu Ji, I wonder if you know Zhang Jiao of the Yellow Turban Taoism?"

After seeing Yu Ji's power, Liu Zheng immediately thought of Zhang Jiao of the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhang Jiao is as famous as Yu Ji, although Zhang Jiao is dead, Liu Zheng has never met Zhang Jiao, so I don't know if Zhang Jiao is really capable, but since Zhang Jiao can be as famous as Yu Ji, I'm afraid he is Some skills.

Although Liu Zheng got acquainted with Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning didn't know Zhang Jiao's abilities in his usual appearance.

It's normal to think about it, after all, some things are passed on from male to female, even if Zhang Jiao likes Zhang Ning's daughter, it is estimated that most of the things he knows are handed over to Zhang Mancheng.

It's a pity that Zhang Mancheng is useless.

Yu Ji frowned when he heard that Liu Zheng asked Zhang Jiao at this time.

"Zhang Jiao from Taipingdao, I know him, I've met him before, but I have different ideas from him, and I don't have a deep friendship with him."

A few years ago, Zhang Jiao was still very famous, and they, Taoists, would communicate with each other. However, Zhang Jiao’s is from Taiping Dao, and Yu Ji’s is from Huang Lao Dao. Although both of them are Taoists There are fundamental differences among people.

"My widow, the Yellow Turban Army who was also under Zhang Jiao's back then, has come step by step to today. Speaking of which, I have never even seen Zhang Jiao's face, which is a pity."

"However, seeing Immortal Master Yu Ji today, I can also ask the immortal master about these mysterious things. I wonder if Immortal Master Yu Ji can show me the ability of an immortal master."

Liu Zheng began to have a great interest in Ji.

8 Chapter Sixty

"Your Majesty, what do you want to ask?"

Yu Ji has no scruples about Liu Zheng. After helping Liu Zheng solve Xu Gong's matter, Yu Ji knew that Liu Zheng would not kill himself.

So in front of Liu Zheng, he was not as cautious as he was at the beginning, and it was more easy-going to start talking with Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng's attitude towards Ji is different from what he had at the beginning. If he was just suspicious at the beginning, and had some doubts about Ji's ability, then Liu Zheng now has no doubts about Ji's ability at all, and even has some doubts about Ji's ability. interested.

"I want to ask, when will this world be unified."

In fact, Liu Zheng has nothing to ask. He is a rational person and would not ask Yu Ji such silly questions, such as when he will die.

Not to mention, knowing when you will die is not a good thing.

Even if Yu Ji said it, Liu Zheng might not really believe it, so it was useless to ask.

It's better to ask some career questions. For example, what he cares most about is when will the world be unified.

After hearing Liu Zheng's question, Yu Ji didn't say much at the moment.

Instead, he continued to take out the coins that Liu Zheng and others had seen before.
