"Dongxian, how is Jiang Zuocheng doing?"

From almost once a day when I left Jiangzuo City, to once a few days now, the abnormal river current, which was not noticed on the three-dimensional map of the light curtain, gradually magnified the time interval of contact and narrowed the degree to which it was connected.

"Grain... Food... Fast... No... Enough... Finish. ”

A few words, the eyes of the heavenly machine should be combined for the river to identify, the time is a bit long, there are many questions, and there are many replies, which is easy to make people upset and irritable.

If it weren't necessary, Jiang Liu would have rarely asked any difficult questions.

"The food is not enough so soon, I brought 1,000 stones of grain back this time, but there is still about half a month to go, no matter what, you stick to it first." (And if nothing else, the grain should be ready to be harvested by the middle of this month.) ）

Jiang Liu didn't say this news, it was too troublesome to explain, so it was better to let Jiang Dongxian wait directly.

"Yes."

It took more than 20 days for Jiangliu to set out from Jiangzuo City to Luoyang, another 10 days in the palace, and a period of time after leaving Luoyang, and it was close to mid-August 183 AD in a blink of an eye.

In Jiangzuo City, the three important ministers gathered together, and there were also Xiaochunzi, the governor of Dongchang, and Jiang Conan, the head of the Criminal Prison Division.

In just one month, Conan, who is only 7 years old, has been unanimously recognized by Jiang Zuocheng.

With the prominence of the food problem, the surge in the foreign population, the prominence of various social contradictions, and the presence of Conan, the god of death, the potential contradictions will be intensified every short period of time, resulting in the occurrence of murders.

And Conan can always find the murderer accurately in just a few dozen minutes.

But Conan also had a problem: the search for evidence.

There is a lack of modern technology, no surveillance, no fingerprint verification, and to make matters worse, the Han law has the principle of hiding the prime minister, encouraging relatives to shield each other, and even committing perjury...... All kinds of troubles make it extremely difficult to determine the evidence and obtain the stolen goods.

Knowing who the killer is, Conan is sometimes unable to convict people.

This problem was later solved by Koharuko.

In a murder case, Conan identified the murderer, but he couldn't find any evidence.

The case took a day, and when Conan's pressure grew, Xiao Haruko, who was given the right to supervise Jiang Zuocheng by Jiang Liu before leaving, interrogated, Conan finished his words very honestly, Xiao Chunzi didn't say a word, grabbed the murderer and fed him a black pill, and after a few minutes, he recruited everything.

Conan suddenly realized that in this world, torture can be used to extract confessions, as long as the murderer is identified, it doesn't matter if there is no evidence.

To put it more ugly, even if the murderer is not determined, you can find a murderer to come out, it just depends on the bottom line of the person.

The murder case is still solved quickly, not to mention other small cases.

Robinson looked around and said worriedly: "I have calculated with Dongxian, according to the current food consumption, Jiang Zuocheng can only hold out for three days. ”

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Conan is also a little incredible, this city of gods is so poor that he doesn't even have enough food to eat?

Since he is a child, Jiang Dongxian takes care of him in the distribution of food, and it is the first time that Conan, who is not thinking about eating, has discovered this problem.

"The city lord secretly wrote to me that he would be able to rush back in about half a month, and he also brought back 1,000 stone of grain."

Jiang Liu rarely takes the initiative to show off his situation, in his previous life, he had no capital, but now he has capital, and he has no circle of friends, so that Jiang Dongxian still doesn't know that Jiang Liu has been awarded the title of Marquis of Zhongwu, otherwise he can transfer grain to Zhongwu County in the name of Jiang Liu.

Chungmu Marquis eats Zhongmu County, and the taxes of Chungmu County are all river, so they naturally have the right to dispose of them.

However, if the river with the holy decree has not arrived, and there is no evidence, the Zhongwu County Order can also be refused.

Cheyenne shook his head and said, "Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, if we don't think of a way, we will run out of food in three days, and the chaos caused by that time is unimaginable." ”

"Is there a way to get food from elsewhere?"

"No, there is a famine in various places, I heard that we are working in Jiangzuo City and eating, people are coming every day, we don't accept it and don't leave, and these people are inextricably linked with what we have accepted, plus the city lord has an order before, how much can be recruited, they don't make trouble, and we can't use force."

"I don't have anything to eat, so how about eating meat?"

It's Conan who speaks, it's not a joke, it's really a real suggestion.

It was already so difficult that Robinson never paid attention to poultry and fish farms.

Nominally, these meat products were supplied to the lord of the city, and no one else had the right to enjoy them.

The things of the lord of the city were taboo, and these thoughtful and loyal retainers never considered it, Cheyenne considered it, but did not dare to mention it, although as time went by, the number of poultry and livestock in several farms was considerable.

Conan's focus is not on interpersonal relationships, his mind is pure, and he is talking about things for the first time.

"No, it's the city lord's, and no one can move without the city lord's order."

Xia An answered: "But compared to the stability of Jiangzuo City, these poultry and livestock are nothing, right?" ”

"No, it's not good, let's think of other ways."

Neither Cheyenne nor Conan spoke.

Suddenly, Robinson thought of something, and said, "Do you remember, the lord of the city seems to have asked, 'If there is a batch of grain in the city in mid-August, can you hold on?' ””

Jiang Dongxian answered: "Yes, I have the impression that the city lord did say it. ”

"I remember saying that." Cheyenne also gave affirmation.

"Tomorrow is the middle of August, there are ten days in the middle of the month, and the city lord will come back in about half a month, it shouldn't be the batch of grain that the city lord brought back, maybe the city lord has other arrangements, and the grain will be sent to Jiangzuo City within ten days."

"Makes sense, but how do we survive these ten days?"

It was shortened from 15 days to 10 days, but the situation was still grim.

"Maybe not ten days, any day in ten days is possible, as long as we stretch it out a little bit as long as we can."

"Maybe, how?"

After being silent for a while, Jiang Dongxian said: "I have an idea, the meal will be halved, and it will be halved in three days, so that it can be delayed until the middle of the month." ”

Cheyenne answered: "This method is feasible, should the expansion project be temporarily suspended?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.

Eventually, Robinson proposed, "Either the five of us vote in favor of a show of hands for the stoppage." ”

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, Shaoqing, Cheyenne was the first to raise her hand.

After waiting for a few minutes, there was no second hand raised.

"What are you thinking? If you don't have enough to eat, you have to do such heavy work, and the people will change in a few days. ”

"Cash-for-work is the basic policy of the city lord, and getting something for nothing goes against the city lord's policy, and it is absolutely not okay."

(Ma Dan, really loyal, it's all like this, and he still admits death.) ）
