Chapter 162: A Little Clue
"Li Lang... It's late, and the slave undresses Lang Jun! ”
In Li Zhan's room, Yang Qiao'er served Li Zhan to sleep, and today is officially the end of the day, Li Zhan is really tired, and after lying down, he will fall asleep after a while.
And just when Li Zhan was asleep, a major event that shook Chang'an happened... The steep ridge of Liantian Village has burst the embankment, there is no way, the stone is not enough, just relying on mud bags and sandbags, it can't stop the surging river at all...!
This burst of the embankment was a devastating blow to Liantian Village, fortunately, just before the burst, the people guarding the steep ridge had already withdrawn to a high place, and the casualties were not large, but the flood flooded, fields, land, houses, food, household items... Then all of them are gone.
Liantian Village's steep ridge bursts, at least 30,000 to 50,000 people will become victims, which is not bad, a levee burst in modern times, it is very famous that Lao Jiang broke the embankment in order to drag the Japanese army's garden mouth.
According to statistics, more than 890,000 people died in the disaster overnight, countless houses were flooded, and more than 3 million people were displaced.
According to records, because the residents of some flooded areas did not know about the levee in advance, their property and fields were wasted, and there was a lot of crying. After the disaster, there was a lack of food and clothing, the plague was raging, and countless deaths and injuries were imposed.
The above data shows that the breach of the levee is only the beginning, and the latter is the key.
"Muramasa... Now we don't have a home...! Looking at the surging water of the lake, swallowing up his village and the wheat fields that had just been planted, the pillar cried loudly.
This crying, it doesn't matter, many villagers have Liantian Village, some are not Liantian Village, everyone cried, especially sad are those who are not Liantian Village, because this flood went down, their families in the village, do not know how many deaths and injuries.
Listening to this crying, Wang Dali, who was in the heavy rain, spat at fiercely and said: "This time the embankment broke because the county order Zhou Shiren only knew how to strengthen the steep ridge of the Cui family in the north, so that we had no stone and could not be reinforced, I must go to Chang'an to sue the emperor, I want to let this Zhou Shiren subdue the law." ”
Wang Dali roared loudly, and then tears fell, it was too distressing to have no choice.
It's just that unlike the crying of the people of Liantian Village, the Cui family knows that after the steep ridge of Liantian Village bursts, the Cui family is laughing and laughing, why... Because the embankment in Liantian Village broke, his Cui family's 3,000 acres of fertile land could be regarded as preserved.
The Cui family thanked the Zhou Shiren county order overnight, Zhou Shiren got the feeling of the Cui family, and was a little happy, in the heart of this Zhou Shiren, the family is much more expensive than those people.
You must know that no matter how many people die, no one will give them a head, but if a son of a family dies, even if it is not dead, it is half-disabled, then Zhou Shiren thinks that he should be unlucky.
After receiving the thanks of the Cui family, Zhou Shiren's master also immediately asked what to do later?
Zhou Shiren said with a smile: "I want the court to ask for help, and when the court approves the funds, we may be able to make a fortune!" ”
"But... Ming Gong, if someone sues us to protect the north side of the stone, what should we do? ”
Master's words made Zhou Shiren laugh: "It's very simple... Call me the head catcher, then borrow troops from the Cui family, block these people for me, go one, kill one for me, and say that those people are drowned. ”
"High... Ming Gong is really high...! The master followed behind Zhou Shiren and smiled.
...........................
The next day, Chang'an City... Li Zhai...!
Li Zhan is really clothed now to stretch out his hands and eat to open his mouth, and almost all the women in the family revolve around him, but Li Zhan didn't really do anything.
Although Li Zhan was wounded by an arrow, he still went to Dunhua Fang with the wound and put cement and mutton fat candles on the agenda.
This cement really stunned everyone, after Li Chengqian followed, he was surprised to see Li Zhan's cement and didn't know what to say, the stone slab made of cement was extremely hard, and the wall was just as strong.
Li Chengqian was about to admire his eldest brother to death, and he felt that his eldest brother seemed to know everything.
Li Zhan helped Li Chengqian block an arrow in this incident, and Li Shimin's words to Li Chengqian at night had already made Li Chengqian believe that Li Zhan was his own eldest brother, and he became even more dependent on Li Zhan.
It is the kind of dependence of the younger brother on the elder brother, it can be said that Li Chengqian will take this dependence to the extreme in the future, he will listen to Li Zhan almost everything, because Li Chengqian has been engraved in his bones, that is, Li Zhan will never harm himself, so the decision Li Zhan made for himself must be the best.
After looking at the cement, Li Chengqian helped Li Zhan all the way to see the production workshop of mutton fat candles, according to Li Zhan's requirements, the workers of mutton fat candles are all slaves, and Li Zhan has no use for people who are not slaves.
Because Li Zhan is very worried about the wealth and silk, if there is a worker who can't withstand the temptation, then Li Zhan will make a lot less money, which is not what Li Zhan wants to see.
"Big brother... I'll help you promote this mutton fat candle, but I don't want my share, I'll give it to you...! ”
After watching the mutton fat candle workshop, Li Chengqian helped Li Zhan to sit down.
"Silly boy...!" After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Li Zhan smiled and said, "You need money... What I give you, you can rest assured that you can take it, of course, you can also rest assured that I can't use up a million yuan.
We brothers, we don't need to see each other like this, but when you become emperor in the future, don't forget about me, the fake big brother. ”
"Big brother... How are you fake? Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhan without saying anything.
However, Li Zhan laughed and said, "I'm definitely fake, I've already found a clue." ”
"Got the clue?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhan with some surprise.
At this time, Li Zhan said hehehe: "Do you know the old Tong who helped me drive the carriage?" ”
"Lao Tong, I know, what's wrong with him?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhan with some surprise.
"Come... Let Li Yi talk to you. Li Zhan waved his hand and beckoned Li Yi over, and then leaned back on the chair, and Xiaodouzi quickly knelt down and helped Li Zhan's legs to the low pier.
"His Royal Highness the Prince...!" Li Yi bowed, then looked at the prince and said: "This morning, my son-in-law asked me to check my family's carriage, and I found that my carriage was not broken, and when I went to look for Lao Tong, Lao Tong's family was already dead." ”
"Uh... How could this be, could it be that this old Tong was bribed by the assassin and then killed? Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhan.
Here, Li Zhan replied with a smile: "The assassins have all been served in one pot, and it's too late to run now, why should they kill a person who has been bought, after all, it doesn't mean much to kill or not, and this killing is still a family, what is this doing?" ”
Li Zhan's words made Li Chengqian also puzzled: "Yes... This is why, the assassin came back to kill Lao Tong, there is no need at all...! ”
"That's right... I thought about it for a long time, there is only one possibility...! ”
"What is possible?"
Li Zhan looked at Li Chengqian and smiled slightly: "The person who bought Lao Tong is not the same as the assassin... They were another group of people or organizations who wanted to kill me! ”
