When Lu Zhen suddenly found Ding Le, the fourth master of the history of Xingze County obviously looked a little weak-hearted, and after snorting for a while, he asked, "I don't know why Boss Zheng suddenly came to see this official?" ”

Lu Zhen arched his hand at the other party, and then spoke: "Don't worry, my lord, I am not here for the food problem. After saying this, he saw that the other party breathed a sigh of relief, obviously he was really worried that the "Zheng Lu" in front of him would find his own ideas to raise food for disaster relief.

"Well...... this" Ding Le hesitated in embarrassment, and then asked vigilantly: "Boss Zheng, why did you suddenly become interested in this matter?" ”

Ding Le looked at Lu Zhen with some shame: "Boss Zheng really has a heart, but he makes me and others ashamed of being officials." It's just that this embankment repair is not a trivial matter, and it can't be succeeded overnight, I'm afraid it's a lot of things, so it's better to think about it and make a decision. As for the disaster of last year's river embankment burst, I am afraid that no one in the county can give a definite answer. As he spoke, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Ding Le hesitated again, perhaps because he felt that Lu Jin's righteous act was not good for him to hide more, so he had to tell the truth: "Because we didn't find anything wrong with the river embankment until the day of the incident. But on the night of the same day, when Liang Xianling took people to inspect the embankment, a breach occurred...... If anyone can know the reason, it is only Lord Liang, who was already killed at that time, and those county officials. ”

"Yes, the matter is very high, even my county yamen must first report to the boss yamen before there can be further action, and I hope Boss Zheng can understand. Of course, Boss Zheng still deeply admires my love for Yingze. Ding Le also solemnly arched his hand, which can be regarded as thanks.

Today, Lu Zhen asked Ding Le about the previous breach of the Yellow River embankment, but he didn't have the intention to ask for a definite answer from his mouth. He didn't think that he could ask so easily as a businessman because he couldn't even find out if someone from the imperial court and the Jinyi guard had sent someone to him. So this is done with another purpose, and its purpose is to pave the way for his next actions.

Don't look at just a few sentences, the usefulness of them cannot be ignored.

But in fact, at this time, Lu Jin's main concern was the reason for the sudden burst of the river embankment before, and this was obviously not an easy thing.

Fortunately, there may be something else lacking in Jinyiwei, but there are many professionals of all kinds. Whether it is solving cases, using sentences, or settling accounts, even if it is a talent in water conservancy, Jinyi Weili also has recruitment. After all, Jin Yiwei has the responsibility of helping the Son of Heaven supervise the subjects of the world, so he naturally has to understand everything. And this time, since Lu Zhen came to find out about the breach of the river embankment in Xingze County, he naturally had such helpers around him.

In the past two days, several of them have walked a section of more than ten miles of river embankment no less than five or six times, but Bai Zhao still hasn't come up with an exact explanation, which makes many companions have an opinion about him, thinking that he is a sign of inability, and I can't wait to step forward and grab his collar and ask, can you see some clues?

His patience was soon rewarded, and in the afternoon of this day, after everyone gathered around a gap again and looked at it for a long time, Bai Zhao finally shouted: "Dudu, this matter is really not simple! ”

Bai Zhao's face was a little excited: "After these few days of comparison and screening, my subordinates are already seventy or eighty percent sure that this should be the first point of the direct breach of the river embankment." As he spoke, he pointed to the jagged gap and said, "Moreover, this gap should be opened artificially, not by the bubble and then flushed." ”

In the capital before, Lu Zhen thought that the reason why there would be such a rupture was mostly because the local officials filled their pockets and stole the money that should have been used to build the river embankment into their own pockets. However, subsequent inquiries by officials sent by the imperial court apparently did not come to such a conclusion. Before, when he knocked on the side of Zhang Xiaoyi of the county government, he also came to a similar conclusion, which gave him another thought, last year's river embankment burst was caused by other internal circumstances, not corruption.

Bai Zhao reached the gap, and his hand vigorously broke the broken embankment made of rammed earth mixed with some stones, but only got some fine powder: "My lord, please see, if this embankment was broken by water, then this place should have been eroded by the river a long time ago. But now it is impossible to do so, which shows that the dam is still very strong and cannot be broken by water. ”

"Also, it depends on the color of the rammed earth here...... Bai Zhao pointed to the edge of the gap in the embankment: "Do you feel that the color here is different from the overall embankment?" ”

"It's really not very clear, because after all, time has changed." Bai Zhao said with a solemn expression: "But if the subordinates see it well, what is left on this should be the traces of gunpowder!" It was someone who planted gunpowder in this embankment and blew a gap in the embankment that led to the collapse! ”

"My subordinates have also studied the method of blowing up the river embankment with gunpowder to discharge the flood, so I am still somewhat sure of this." Bai Zhao said solemnly.

At this moment, the first thing that flashed in his mind was the three words "White Lotus Sect". Because when they were in Shandong, they wanted to dig up the embankment of the Yellow River, and with the skills of these people, it may be possible to really master the gunpowder banned by the imperial court.
