Chapter 598: The Gold Case (Part 1)(2/2)
"Trading men and pawns, driving carts and selling pulp. Since ancient times, these have been humble and normal occupations."
When he was sighing, a guard hurriedly came forward and said, "Your Majesty, Ting Wei Zhang Gong said that he has something important to report."
Li Yunze came to Luoyang City privately, but the person who came to investigate the matter openly was Zhang Tang, the Tingwei of Zhongshan Kingdom.
Zhang Tang has a calm personality. Since he sent someone to tell him, there must have been concrete and important progress.
Li Yunze nodded and said, "Go back to the inn."
Because of the emperor's imperial edict, the local Yamen in Luoyang would cooperate with Zhang Tang in handling matters.
But they would never give up their yamen to Zhang Tang.
The reason is very simple. Zhang Tang was a Tingwei of the Zhongshan Kingdom, not a Tingwei of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhang Tang could only work in the inn.
Li Yunze returned to the inn and came to Zhang Tang's room. He saw Zhang Tang, who had always had a sullen face. He stepped forward with a smile and saluted, "Your Majesty, I found gold."
"oh?"
Li Yunze was greatly surprised when he said this, "So smooth?"
"yes."
Zhang Tang smiled and nodded, then took out a gold coin from the wooden box on the desk and handed it to Li Yunze, and explained, "There was a knight-errant who surrendered voluntarily and brought this gold coin."
Looking carefully at the gold coin in his hand, Li Yunze was able to confirm immediately that it was indeed produced by the Mint Bureau of the Zhongshan State. Only the Zhongshan State in the entire Han Dynasty had this technology for hydraulically stamped gold coins.
Playing with the gold coins in his hand, Li Yunze was thoughtful.
"Where did you get it? Who does the ranger belong to? Who did he report?"
Facing the inquiry, Zhang Tang, with a look of satisfaction on his face, bowed and responded, "Returning to the king's words, the rangers have all confessed. The one who colluded with Du Shuicheng, the Shaofu, to steal gold coins in the name of shipwreck is the Luoyang giant bandit."
