Some time has passed since the finalization of Smoke Willow Villa. Although Lu Sheng did a good job of keeping Tongnan Mansion secret, it was impossible for the rumors above the court to not spread.

Especially in Jiangbei Province, the entire officialdom is panicked. The triennial assessment is only halfway through, but the personnel transfer of the Jiangbei Province officialdom has suddenly begun.

The top and second leaders of many prefectures were transferred, and officials transferred from other states were quickly appointed. The officialdom of Gangbuk Province didn't even know what was going on, but they had a hunch that it was definitely not a good thing for them.

But for Lu Sheng and Shen Ling, it was definitely an assist given to them by the imperial court, and it was also a message that the imperial court revealed to them.

"For a 20,000-strong number of widows, even if more than 10,000 of them are children, the cost of eating, drinking, and lazing is huge. It is impossible for them to be self-sufficient overseas, so supplies should be shipped out of Gangbuk-do.

Shen Ling, immediately ask the brothers to investigate the records of cargo ships in the last fifteen years, and see how many daily necessities have been sent out to match the number, and which trading houses do they belong to?"

Because Fang Ling and the others didn't know the address where the widow was located and the personnel information, Lu Sheng had to search his stomach and think that these were not the best ways.

The Japanese are so cautious and cautious that even the people they have cultivated do not let them know any news. This made Lu Sheng think that as long as he pried open the mouths of the widows, he would be able to learn the whereabouts of their lair, and his idea was shattered in an instant.

"I said, Lu Gongzi, what about you playing with me? In the past fifteen years, do you know how many shipments have been made in the entire Jiangbei Province? Even if they have bookkeeping, how much can they record? You let the brothers check these, isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack?"

"Even if we look for a needle in a haystack, it's better than doing nothing, what if we can have some clues? We just pulled out a spy left by the Japanese in Jiangbei Province, and in fact, the damage to the Japanese was minimal. ...... that can really hurt them It's to ban their supplies!"

"What do you mean......" Shen Ling suddenly understood, "In the name of checking accounts, monitoring the major commercial houses in Jiangbei Province, cutting off the supply to the Japanese Kou?"

Fang Ling said that every month, there will be a big ship to send food, clothes and various daily necessities. In other words, there will be food in the nest of the pirates, but there is absolutely not much, at most two to three months. ”

"Okay, I'll give the order!"

"Da-da-" There was a knock on the door.

"My lord, my lord, a person has just come to report the case, saying that he has secret information to report to the prince and the lord personally. ”

"Who?"

"The former county order of Dongyuan County, Shuyang Prefecture, Qin Hainian. ”

"Qin Hainian, the former county commander, why is the original, he resigned?" Lu Sheng instantly grasped the key words.

"No, this time the official was transferred, and his position as the county commander was replaced by the new county commander, but his appointment did not come. So he thought he was deposed.

Maybe he was in a hurry, so he secretly disguised himself and came to Tongnan Mansion to say that there was important information to be revealed. humbly thought that he was trying to restore his official status by voting for his name. ”

"We are investigating the case here, and it is difficult to move an inch in two months, mainly because the intelligence is not equal and there is a lack of clues, if someone can provide key clues, maybe it will take a few days to solve the case. Bring him in!"

"Xiaguan...... Qin Hainian, a grass citizen, visited the prince of Nanling and Lord Lu. Qin Hainian cowered and knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed tightly against the ground, with a humble and humble posture.

"Qin Hainian, you said there is important intelligence to report, what kind of intelligence?" Shen Ling didn't like to play dumb riddles, so he asked straight to the point.

"Yes! That was about nine years ago. Caomin is also a copywriter in Dongyuan County, managing the archives of Dongyuan County. One day, Shangguan suddenly asked me to find out all the dossier information about Starstriped Iron.

After finding out, the Shangguan burned all the dossier materials in front of me, and then ordered the subordinate to keep his mouth shut and not to mention a word.

The subordinate did not dare to disobey, and never said it to anyone since. ”

"Star-striped iron? How can there be a dossier on star-striped iron in Gangbuk-do? This is a state secret. Shen Ling's face suddenly turned serious, and he shouted.

"The grass people didn't know what star-striped iron was, but Dongyuan County had this information at that time. Seeing Shangguan's solemn and nervous expression at that time, the grass people deliberately kept an eye on it, and changed the cover of the data, but the contents were some scrapped materials.

Originally, it was planned that if the upper official found out that the information was wrong, the lower official could still say that he took the wrong one because of the wrong cover arrangement. But he didn't expect Shangguan to not look at it, and directly burned it, and Xiaguan was able to save the original file of the star-striped iron. ”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of files from his arms and respectfully handed them to Shen Ling.

Shen Linghu took it suspiciously, opened it and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed.

"Who is that Shangguan?"

"The late Dongyuan County Order, Wu Qing. ”

"How did you die?"

"I heard that he drank to death......

"You step back first, Feng Jian, good entertainment. ”

After Qin Hainian left, Shen Ling eagerly unfolded the file on the desk.

"It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there. Such a thing happened in Jiangbei Province, but the yamen at all levels above and below the court knew nothing. ”

"What's the matter?" Lu Sheng came up curiously.

"In Dongyuan County, Starstripe Iron Ore was once discovered!" Shen Ling said lightly with a gloomy face, "Nine years ago, a merchant from Huzhou came to Dongyuan to plant fruit trees and bought a natural basin in Dongyuan.

However, in the first year, he lost all his money and invited a feng shui master to come and check it, and was criticized as a place of yin and yin, and no matter what he planted, he could not survive.

The merchant was not reconciled and ordered someone to dig into the ground to see if it was really a Jedi. After excavation, a strange stone was found, hard as iron and shining like a star. Then it was reported to the government, and the government reported it as auspicious.

But strangely, the imperial court did not react. I have searched all the information about star-striped iron in the imperial court, and I have never found any news about star-striped iron in Gangbuk-do.

However, after a few months, three master craftsmen came down from the Ministry of Works. After investigation, it was determined that this strange stone was star-striped iron ore. Star-striped iron ore, star-striped iron ore is indispensable as a raw material for building star-striped divine weapons. Dayu sits in nineteen states, and there are very few star-striped iron ores found, and only in the land of Shenzhou.

The three masters were excited to return to Beijing to report, but unfortunately they were infected with sepsis and died before they could leave Jiangbei Province. But what is even more puzzling is that these three people are buried in Jiangbei Province.

The whole thing is full of violations of the system. The masters of the Ministry of Industry who can build the star-striped divine soldiers, each of them is a scarce talent in Dayu, passed down from generation to generation, and life and death must be recorded in detail.

But the three of them left the Ministry of Industry so inexplicably, and died inexplicably in Gangbuk-do, and even buried their bodies in Gangbuk-do? ”

"It's normal to be unreasonable, the appearance of the Starstriped Divine Soldier in the hands of a hundred nations is unreasonable in itself, but because of this unreasonableness in the front, all the unreasonableness in all Jiangbei Province is reasonable. ”

"Yes, what a lot of strength can make the three master craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry leave without even a single record, and then there is no record at all in Gangbuk Province. If it weren't for this record, who would have believed that there had ever been a star-striped iron ore in Gangbuk Province?"

Lu Sheng looked at this file hesitantly, "I'm very curious now, what motive this Qin Hainian had for keeping this file. I don't believe that he noticed that Shangguan's expression was wrong, and he had an idea?"

"Then you underestimate the so-called officials, who are so careful and cautious that we cannot understand them. But with this clue, I finally have a clue to investigate the Starstriped Divine Soldier.

We've been pouring the Starstriped Divine Soldiers out of the hands of the Wokos, and the only way to know where the Starstriped Divine Soldiers came from is to find clues from the Wokos. Now, there is no longer such trouble, the Japanese are the Japanese Kou, the star-striped divine soldier, which was built by Jiangbei Province itself. I am sure that those three masters of the Ministry of Engineering must not have died. ”

Just walked out of the door, but saw Gai Ying running back from outside with a panicked expression. After seeing Lu Sheng, his eyes instantly turned red.

Gai Ying has been busy with the reconstruction of the Fog Shadow Gate these days, so he has not returned to Xuantian Mansion. In this era, the level of building a house is not good, but the speed of building a house is very fast.

Within a few days, the mountain gate of the Fog Shadow Gate was built, and the main house was rebuilt. Although it is not on the scale of the past, after all, there are only Gai Ying and Jiang Yong'er in the entire Fog Shadow Gate, so the two of them plan to build three buildings, one for the ancestral hall of the sect, one for Gai Ying and Jiang Yong'er's residence, and one for the future disciples' residence.

These few days can be said to be the happiest days that Gai Ying has lived after encountering the slaughter of the sect.

Although the great revenge of the master cannot be said to be avenged, the main culprit is like a lost dog. The destroyed sect has also been rebuilt, and the masters and brothers can finally rest in peace.

The happiest thing is that he is finally with his beloved senior sister. On the night when the two decided to reopen the school, the senior sister entrusted her to herself. Since then, Gai Ying knows that he is not alone, he has a family, and he needs to be responsible for more than just himself.

However, he didn't expect that his happy time would be so short. It's just ten days, ten days...... That's a lot of sadness compared to four full years.

In the past four years, every time he thought that his senior sister was now someone else's wife, he was heartbroken. But why, when he thought he could have his senior sister for the rest of his life, his senior sister only gave him ten days of happiness.

The senior sister left a letter and left, and he felt that the whole world had collapsed. Gai Ying, who was at a loss, only Lu Sheng could ask for help in his mind. So, he hurriedly came back from the division.

Seeing Lu Sheng, Gai Ying fell like a goose in the sand, and knelt down in front of Lu Sheng.

"Your Excellency...... What should I do?"

"What to do? Get up and speak clearly. ”

"Senior sister doesn't want me anymore, she left a book and ran away......"

"You guys quarreled?"

"No, no......! Senior sister said...... said that she recognized the thief as her father for five years, and married the son of the enemy who killed her father as his wife, which is not tolerated by heaven and earth, and she is not qualified to stay with me for a long time. She left a letter and then disappeared. My lord, what should I do...... I ......"

Lu Sheng had never seen an adult with a sloppy beard, crying like a child with a handful of tears and snot.

Suddenly angry, kicked Gai Ying into the air, "A little out of breath, are you still a man, wipe my tears away, get up!"
