"What urgent matters does Kuai Gong look for me?" In the room, Liu Biao stopped talking to Cai Mao and looked at Kuai Yue with a smile.

"It's about the Tao family..."

Cai Mao stood beside him straightened his waist, and a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes. He had guessed what Kuai Yue was going to say. It seemed that Kuai Yue was indeed going to interfere in this matter.

Kuai Yue glanced at Cai Mao and said slowly: "I heard that the Tao family ship was detained last night, and even Tao Li was arrested by the navy this morning. Does the lord know about this?"

Liu Biao frowned. Although Zhang Yun reported something to him last night, he did not know that it was involved in the Tao family. Moreover, he was not awake at the time and did not take this matter to heart.

"Degui, what's going on?" Liu Biao asked in a long voice with a little unhappy look.

Cai Mao was in charge of military affairs and the navy was mobilized. He had to report to Liu Biao. Cai Mao had a certain plan and said calmly: "I have heard of this matter, so he specially sent someone to question General Zhang. He said that he had reported to the lord last night. After obtaining his lord's consent, he sent troops to arrest the fleet that smuggled weapons.

As for whether it is as strange as the one who was arrested was the Tao family fleet, my subordinates don’t know, but Jingzhou has its own laws, and this has little to do with whom it traffics. If Tao family sells weapons privately and violates the law, they should be punished."

Cai Mao is a shrewd person. He knew that there were two things involved. One was whether Zhang Yun sent troops without authorization, and the second was whether the evidence of Tao's weapons trafficking was conclusive. As long as these two things were done well, you would basically be sure to win. As for money from the Tao family, you can do it privately.

Speaking of this, he quickly glanced at Kuai Yue, his eyes full of pride and provocation. This time they did it without any loss. He didn't believe that Kuai Yue could find any loopholes.

Liu Biao was a little embarrassed. He did agree to Zhang Yun last night, but he did not expect that it was the Tao family. The Tao family was an important family with strong financial resources and provided him with a lot of money every year to support his military expenditure.

In fact, he also knew that the Tao family had secretly had contacts with Jiangdong, but he could understand that businessmen always had the first priority in business and business. They had to do both business in Jingzhou and Jiangdong. He also pretended to be deaf and dumb, and took tribute to the Tao family every year.

At this time, Liu Biao was a little annoyed. He realized that Zhang Yun was deliberately hiding him and reporting it was right, but why didn't he say it was the Tao family? As a captain, did he not understand the importance of the Tao family to him? Zhang Yun obviously used some kind of trick to get himself into the trap.

But Liu Biao was not showing his emotions, and there was no expression on his face, making people unable to see his attitude.

Kuai Yue knew very well the importance of the Tao family to Liu Biao. He was not as serious as a doctor. At Liu Biao's level, what laws and illegal crimes are no longer important. The only important thing is interests and weighing the gains and losses of interests.

However, some truths need to be made clear, so that Liu Biao can understand the truth in his heart. Since Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have already brought up the stone, it is not impossible to let them shoot themselves with the stone.

"Lord, there are problems with the process first. As far as my subordinates know, this fleet was seized by Youjiao, and then the navy dispatched to rob the fleet. My subordinates had two questions. Why did Youjiao not report this matter to the superior? In addition, Youjiao was able to handle this matter well, which is also their duty. Why did the navy take away this matter? It was obviously a matter of local jurisdiction, so what did it have to do with the navy?"

Cai Mao hurriedly interjected: "The military crossbow trafficking of weapons is of course related to the army. General Zhang took over the matter because he was worried that You Jiaoke could not handle this matter well and caused chaos. As for why You Jiaoke did not report to the superiors, it might be delayed, and maybe they will report it tomorrow."

Kuai Yue did not give in and said tit-for-tat: "Even if the navy is kind and interferes with it for fear of problems, why don't you hand over the case to the county yamen after dawn, but instead Yue Lord takes the place of the case and hears the case by himself? This is clearly the matter of the county yamen.

Take a step back, even if Zhang Xiaowei couldn't think of it for a moment, why did Li Shou go to the military camp to ask for prisoners in the morning, but he ignored it. At the same time, he also sent troops to rush into Fancheng and captured Taoli and Tao family managers. These are all local government affairs, so what should I do with the army?

Could it be that his dignified lieutenant didn’t even understand this principle or that Military Secretary Cai thought it was irrelevant and that the local government could be abolished, and everything would be managed by the military.”

Kuai Yue seized the fact that Zhang Yunyue was the agent, and asked every question, and it was so sharp that Cai Mao was speechless. He was secretly anxious and had to inform Zhang Yun immediately to plug this loophole.

Cai Mao hurriedly bowed to Liu Biao and said, "You are the lord, because Zhang Zheng reported this to his subordinates early in the morning, so his subordinates are concerned about this matter. Perhaps we don't know the specific situation, so I can't speak nonsense. Please ask your subordinates to investigate first and then come back to report."

Liu Biao shook his head, "It's very simple, no need for a military advisor to investigate in person, so I'll order Zhang Yun to see me."

Someone went to inform Zhang Yun, and the official room was quiet again. Cai Mao was secretly anxious and went out on the excuse of dealing with an emergency military service. Only Kuai Yue and Liu Biao were left in the room.

Liu Biao then asked lightly: "Do you think there is something wrong with it?"

"Your lord, my subordinates just think it's unreasonable."

"Why is it unreasonable?" Liu Biao asked as he stared at him.

Kuai Yue smiled, "The Tao family has been doing business for decades. When did they do anything illegal with the Tao family's assets of tens of millions of yuan, and they are willing to smuggle the Yangtze River. The lord believes that they will risk raiding their families and destroying their families, trafficking in just military crossbows, and earning this little bit of profit?"

"If it wasn't for the Tao family, then who did it? Is it someone framed it?"

Kuai Yue smiled, "My lord, the news I got is that this fleet disappeared for half a month in advance, so Tao Li came to Xiangyang to search. There was a long time ago. There was another thing. Did the lord forget that he checked the arsenal more than two months ago, but there was a few thousand military crossbows missing."

A sentence reminded Liu Biao that he had already understood that someone was framed by the Tao family and attempting to make money from the Tao family. As for who did it, he knew a little.

At this time, a guard reported at the door: "Person Zhang is here."

"Let him in" Liu Biao's tone was a little stern.

Kuai Yue quickly stood up and said, "Then you avoid it."

Liu Biao nodded, "Go"

Zhang Yun was Liu Biao's nephew, and Kuai Yue was there, so they couldn't say something. Kuai Yue knew this very well, so he got up and left.

Soon, Zhang Yun hurried in. He received an emergency notification from Cai Mao in half and had a solution to deal with it. He had all the evidence and evidence of this matter. As long as he bites to death, there would be no loopholes.

"Nephews to my uncle"

Liu Biao sat down and asked slowly: "You told me last night that someone sold weapons, how are you dealing with now?"

"Reporting to my uncle, this matter has been found out. It was because the Tao family was bold and reckless. All the staff and officials have admitted that it was indeed the Tao family's work, and the evidence is conclusive."

After saying that, Zhang Yun presented a thick stack of confessions. Liu Biao took the confession and looked at it, and asked without saying a word: "Since that's the case, why don't you transfer this case to the county government? I heard that Li Shou asked you for someone, but you refused. Why is this?"

Zhang Yun had already thought of a countermeasure, and he bowed and said, "Report to my uncle, because during the interrogation, the Tao family and Li Shou were closely related.

This time Tao Li came to Xiangyang to pay homage to Li Shou. They had a deep personal relationship, so the nephew suspected that Li Shoulai wanted someone, but in fact he wanted to use public service to help the Tao family get rid of the crime, so I firmly refused."

Zhang Yun's answer is also very reasonable, and Liu Biao also knows that the Tao family and Shou Li Gui have a good relationship. Is this true?

At this time, Zhang Yun added: "The nephew also believes that with the strong financial resources of the Tao family, he naturally doesn't look down on this weapon, but the nephew suspects that this is actually the Tao family transporting others, and it has nothing to do with the Tao family itself, and it also proves this in his confession."

"Who do you think this is for transporting it?"

"The nephew suspected that it was Gan Ning. The confession said that the fleet was not hijacked, but went to Bishui. After waiting there for half a month, someone sent weapons and crossbows onto the ship. One of them seemed to be Gan Ning's subordinates, but during the arrest, he jumped away."

Liu Biao was also a little confused, and Zhang Yun's answer made sense. I thought it was indeed possible. After all, Gan Ning brought five slaves from Runan at the beginning, and Liu Biao knew that it was Liu Jing who helped him get rid of his crime.

If Gan Ning gets a batch of weapons from Runan, it is entirely possible. It is dangerous to go to the land and easily investigated, and it is usually water.

There is basically no one in the Tao family caravans to check, so it is most appropriate to let the Tao family transport goods.

As for why the Tao family took risks for Ganning, it was because the place where Ganning was stationed was very close to Chaisang. The Tao family had many things to ask for in Ganning, so they would naturally take risks for him.

Liu Biao felt that all his speculations were reasonable, but the fundamental reason was that Liu Biao did not believe in Gan Ning. Zhang Yun grasped Liu Biao's psychology and dragged Gan Ning in.

Liu Biao pondered for a while and asked again: "Then why didn't you explain it to me clearly when you reported last night? It's related to the Tao family at this time."

Zhang Yun kowtowed and reported: "Reported to my uncle, my nephew didn't know that the matter was related to the Tao family yesterday. It was only during the interrogation last night that I learned that they were the Tao family fleet, and my nephew would never dare to hide it from his uncle."

Seeing Zhang Yun’s innocent look, Liu Biao couldn’t help but believe it a little. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking to himself: Could this be really something Ganning asked the Tao family to transport goods.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Biao said to Zhang Yun: "Stop this matter for the time being, don't interrogate again. I want to ask Tao Sheng personally and ask him to explain it to me. In addition, put Tao Li back to the business bank and put him under house arrest. He is not allowed to be tortured."

Zhang Yun was secretly happy, so that he would have time to make the case solid, plug all loopholes, and use some means to avoid worrying that the Tao family would not give the gold.
