Chapter 875: The Tip of the Iceberg
Li Luo didn't feel surprised, didn't want to think about it, didn't want to know, his heart was filled with a feeling of helplessness and weakness, he just wanted to be drunk and rest, and he didn't ask about the world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just now, when Li Luo didn't deliberately recall the mural in the cabin, a place that Li Luo had ignored earlier suddenly jumped out.
In the mural full of silence and death, there is a tree at the foot of the mountain, Li Luo didn't care when he first looked at it, and his mind was all taken by the artistic conception in the mural.
It wasn't until just now that Li Luo suddenly woke up to the fact that the trees in the forest below the mountain were very similar to the ancient strange trees in the Immortal Peak, although the paintings were not clear, but they were indeed very similar.
All these scattered things that are not related to each other, as if there is a line that Li Luo can't see and can't touch to connect them, Li Luo doesn't know where the line is, what he sees is only the tip of the iceberg, if he peeps at it, he doesn't know what the consequences will be.
Li Luo had a headache, this secret hidden in the four realms of Dagan, Li Luo didn't want to know at all, but this secret slowly broke into Li Luo's field of vision.
Li Luo fell on the bed in a daze, the world is chess, but where is the chessboard and how big it is, Li Luo is gradually lost.
On the desk on the side of the bed, there is a note from a woman in white, with beautiful handwriting, which reads: Thank you.
The woman in white seemed to pause when she wrote this, and then wrote after the word thank you: Think about what you have.
"What do I have?" Li Luo muttered to himself and slowly closed his eyes.
After returning to the alliance city, Li Luo had an unprecedented sense of urgency in his heart, as if there was a big mountain pressing on his heart, which made Li Luo breathless in the dead of night, but when he was in front of people, he was still the same as before.
Li Luo didn't explain much about the ghost ship, but only told the people of the alliance city what he saw and picked out what he saw in the sea, saying that the ghost ship had sunk, and as for the meeting of the alliance city, those who were willing to stay would stay, and those who wanted to leave would not be restrained and intervened, and let them stay.
Li Luo acted like this, not only the people of the alliance city, but also the dignitaries in the city were also a little confused, but then Li Luo ordered Lan Qingshu, the governor of Chuyang Prefecture, to secretly send the official government to arrest and go to the village ferry where the ghost boat murder occurred in the past to investigate in detail.
Another letter was sent to the Dali Division of Zhuocheng and ordered the Dali Division to thoroughly investigate the ghost ship. Although this matter is secret, it may be because there is no impermeable wall in the world, and some of the background forces of the merchant clan in the alliance city have received the news, and after a little speculation, the conclusion is self-evident, nine times out of ten the evil done by the ghost ship is a man-made disaster rather than a natural disaster, and it seems that someone used the name of the ghost ship to mess with the Great Gan Dynasty.
As soon as the news came out, the hearts of the people in the alliance city suddenly changed direction, and those who didn't want to go didn't want to go even more won't go, and those who originally wanted to leave also stayed to see how things would progress.
These days, Li Luo rarely sees outsiders again, and discusses some daily matters of the alliance city with Fan Anwei and the Yaohe Association, but Su and Wan Ce, who went to sea with Li Luo that day, are very busy, and there are people who post visits almost every day, most of them are spying on the secrets of the ghost ship.
Although Li Luo didn't say much, everyone who went to sea, except for Cong Fu's heroic personality and unpretentious words, the rest of them were all people with outstanding minds, and they didn't need Li Luo's guidance, what to say or how to say it had their own measure, the ghost ship Yu Wei was still there, but it was not as frightening as before, and the people's hearts gradually settled down.
The meeting date of the alliance city meeting is approaching, and there is no trace of Mu Xiaoxia, but Mr. Yongda and his party have rushed back to the alliance city, no matter what kind of intention, the senior masters who are hidden in the city stay in the league city for a day or two, but they have not participated in the meeting, and Li Luo has drifted away.
Although the time has been shorter, and there are very few people who know about it, but when this matter is quietly spread, no one dares to underestimate the Alliance City Association on the rivers and lakes.
Everything stopped, the gloom in Li Luo's heart became thicker and thicker, and gradually there was some backlash, and the alliance city could not stay any longer.
Li Luo suddenly decided to return to Zhuocheng, Fan Anwei was a little surprised, but this was also expected, after all, Li Luo was the Li Luo of Dagan, and it was not just an alliance city that would be able to bind Li Luo here.
Li Luo explained all the things in the alliance city to Fan Anwei and Yaohehui, and then set up a banquet, all the heroes in the alliance city gathered together, and Li Luo raised a glass to thank him to show his help.
Except for Cong Fu who was sullen alone, everyone at the banquet talked and laughed freely, and praised the future prosperity of the alliance city, as if the alliance city would become the largest merchant in Dongfu just around the corner.
Li Luo looked at Cong Fu's depressed appearance, and couldn't bear it, but after all, the world of Zhuocheng was not suitable for the spinyback arowana in the East China Sea, even if there was guilt and regret, he could only let these go.
Jiu Cai'er was extremely angry, and simply annoyed Li Luo, Li Luo sent several people to invite, but they all ate behind closed doors, and they didn't even see each other.
It wasn't until Li Luo went there in person that he rewarded Li Luo with a thin face, but he still didn't give Li Luo any good looks.
Li Luo couldn't cry or laugh, and there was a rare warmth in the embarrassment.
There were also a few of Li Luo's old people at this banquet, and the people of Chuyangmen, who had the same relationship with Li Luo and Mutian Wolf, also came to the alliance city, Pei Daifu and Qin Yuhan rushed to the alliance city with Lin Baiming to attend the meeting.
Several of them are old acquaintances, and Zhai Liaoyu and Pei Daifu have a lot of friendship, and they are quite eager for each other.
Li Luo personally toasted Pei Daifu a few glasses of water and wine, which made everyone in Chuyangmen a little flattered, but it also made others a little blushing.
After the banquet, in the early morning of the next day, Li Luo bid farewell to everyone and led his generals to Zhuocheng non-stop.
Li Luo's heart was like an arrow, and it was rare for him to have such an urgent mood, but what several people didn't expect was that the uneasiness in Li Luo's heart came true so quickly.
This time, it was Shaoqing of the Inspection Department who had an accident, and Yang Wanli, one of the nine dignified secretaries.
Halfway through the return trip, before arriving in Zhuozhou, Li Luo received a secret report that the imperial court had condemned Shaoqing, the inspection department, and Yang Wanli, a counselor of the Privy Council, had been escorted to prison at this time, and the verdict was made at a later date.
This incident happened very suddenly, there was no antecedent, but there were consequences, and I don't know what kind of tricks and tricks it was, so quickly and so hastily let Yang Wanli go to prison.
The crime convicted by the imperial court in the secret report was very large, contempt for imperial power, and cruelty to the emperor's relatives and relatives.
Li Luo felt a chill in his heart, he didn't expect the movement to be so big, once Yang Wanli's crime was implemented, even if he could escape death, he was afraid that he would have to give up the position of Shaoqing of the Inspection Department and the Privy Council, so that it was the foundation of the Inspection Department that moved.
The secret report that came was not from the Privy Council, nor from the official documents of the imperial court, but from the secret force of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branch set up by Shen Xiangdong and Li Luo.
The Privy Council will not say it, the dragons have no leader, but I am afraid that they have been controlled by others at this moment.
