Qin Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't they the inspectors?" ”

Su Shi was also stunned for a moment, patted his head, and said, "Yes, it stands to reason that the inspector has long been nearby." Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info But why didn't they stop them from setting fires? ”

Qin Ming shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Don't talk about people now, there is no ghost, great talent, you ask me, who do I ask?" Why don't we go back to Zizhou City and find out about it when we find the Supervision Department and ask. ”

Su Shi shook his head and said, "There are still many doubts here, and I haven't figured it out. When the fire stops, I'm going to go in and look at it once, or I'll be unwilling. "I was calculated twice, and I didn't have any power to fight back, Su Shi was still at the age of blood and strength, and he was bullied like this, he couldn't swallow this breath.

Qin Ming looked at the sky, and estimated that it was only about midnight now, and it would be an hour until dawn. At this time, if you don't have a village in front of you and a store in the back, if you fall into an ambush again, maybe you will really be wiped out. Qin Ming also acquiesced to this result, at least here, there was still a little fire, and there was a place in the dark center.

The fire slowly weakened after enveloping the entire inn. After all, it only rained yesterday, and even if the inside of the inn was very dry and tung oil was poured on it, it would not be able to burn the entire inn for a while.

In addition, the kitchen of this inn is not inside the inn, but outside the inn, and it will not be affected for a while. It's just that the fire is too big, and the heat wave is pressing, so it can't be approached.

After another half hour, the fire had gradually been extinguished. All that was left was sporadic flames, and red-hot wood. Seeing that the fire was small, Su Shi immediately went to the kitchen. As soon as I entered the kitchen, I smelled blood. Su Shi hurriedly quickened his pace, pushed open the door of the firewood room, and saw that three men who had been stripped naked had fallen in a pool of blood.

As soon as Qin Ming came in, he was also stunned. Su Shi squatted down, observed it, and found that the three of them had thick cocoons in their hands, and their hearts brightened: "Qin Dalang, the shopkeeper we saw is not real!" ”

Qin Ming also understood: "That's right, the real shopkeeper has been killed." These three people, one is a cook, one is a junior, and one is a shopkeeper, they were all killed in advance, and then placed in the firewood room, waiting for us to send them to the door. ”

Su Shi was afraid for a while, if the martial arts of this group of thieves were a little better and their tactics were a little more ruthless, I am afraid that it would be more than these three people who would fall.

Qin Ming asked, "What now?" ”

Su Shi glanced at him and said, "What else can I do, report to the official!" ”

The rest of the Royal Military Academy cadets were also silent, nothing went smoothly on this trip, it seemed that from the moment they entered Zizhou City, a net dedicated to them began to be sprinkled. They are like fish in a net, trying to break free, but they can't find any way out.

Everyone covered up the firewood room, slightly blocking the thick smell of blood. After that, everyone did not speak, and they were all waiting for the dawn.

Time passed slowly, and after the pre-dawn darkness had passed, the sky finally showed the whiteness of the fish belly in the east. Through the faint light, Su Shi stepped into the inn that had been burned into an empty shell and began to search for useful evidence.

But after a fire, any trace is gone. All that was left was ruins and an empty shell of an inn. The people who had made their hands full of ashes but didn't find anything returned to the kitchen again, washed up, and then set off to report to Zizhou City.

Two days later, through the channel of the Supervision Department, Lu Chengqi, who was far away in Jingzhao Mansion, Chang'an City, and the imperial palace, received a report that Su Shi and them were in distress. This was the first time that the Department of Supervision had submitted it and it was classified as top secret.

After Lu Chengqi got rid of the fire paint, he spread out the secret report and took a look, and he was furious. Su Shi's identity is so secret, who has such great ability to learn their whereabouts and purpose? Even the imperial court officials dare to murder, is it possible that the courage of these traffickers has reached such a level?

Lu Chengqi couldn't imagine that under the prosperous scene of Dashun, there was such an undercurrent. These people, even Qin Cha blatantly want to kill, and they pretend to be thieves, they simply don't take him seriously!

However, the more this is the case, the more it shows that Lu Chengqi was right to send Su Shi out. This move did violate the interests of some people. The so-called cutting off people's financial routes is like killing their parents, these people are so desperate, which also proves that the masterminds behind the scenes are definitely not ordinary people. Ordinary people, how can they be so well-informed?

Lu Chengqi is not a genius, but his IQ and EQ are still within the scope of normal people. Things have obviously come to this point, if he can't think of it again, he will be the emperor for so long in vain.

"Su Dongpo is in danger one after another, do you want to give him more people to protect?" This thought, Lu Chengqi flashed, and quickly denied it. Obviously, at this moment, the battlefield is not only on Zizhou Road and Kuizhou Road, but also in the imperial court.

On one side of the battlefield, Su Shi dominated; And the battlefield in the imperial court, Lu Chengqi gave Su Shi support in the back, stabilized the situation as much as possible, and at the same time carried out an investigation in Chang'an City, and all suspicious people had to be supervised.

Just as Lu Chengqi was thinking about how to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, Su Shi's performance also arrived. Lu Chengqi took it apart and took a look and found that Su Shi's performance was all good news and not bad news. Lu Chengqi also knew that if Su Shi asked for help, it would seem that he was incompetent. Which courtier is willing to admit his incompetence in front of the emperor? That's not a self-defeating career! Even if Su Shi is upright by nature, he will not be Geng to this point.

After Lu Chengqi watched the recital, he noticed one thing, that is, the land annexation of Zizhou Road, which seemed to have evolved to a delicate moment. Most yeoman farmers, after generations of children and grandchildren have separated, have begun to be unable to support their families. This is the contradiction between the productive forces and the relations of production, the landlord has the land, but lacks the labor force; Farmers have labor, but they lack land. The next evolution was that the peasants, who lacked land, had to become tenant farmers, ploughing the fields for the landlords and being exploited by the landlords.

"This matter is about to start paving...... Lu Chengqi muttered.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Chengqi spread out a proclamation, wrote a secret edict, and summoned Xiaohuangmen to send it to the Supervision Department, and personally announced the decree to Xu Jingchun, the director of the Supervision Department, and no second person was allowed to be present.

After Xiao Huangmen took the order and left, Lu Chengqi picked up a letter on the table again, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "Hey, my ability to make money is not bad, and my ability to spend money is unprecedented!" ”

It turned out that this was a recital presented to him by the Ministry of Households, and Lin Zhenzhong wrote in his own handwriting that there was only two million yuan left in the treasury surplus. Lu Chengqi didn't believe it at first, tens of millions of dollars were gone, and it didn't last for a year. After the town of Kelin listed all the expenses in it, Lu Chengqi saw that he was going on expeditions, governing rivers, shipbuilding, ordnance supervision, and Yulu...... Which one is not a huge expense?

"It seems that it's time to open the Juju Fucai again...... "At this moment, there is still a period of time before the autumn harvest in August. Commercial tax will not be in the treasury for a while and a half, want to quickly collect money, or Juju Fucai to money fast.

"What excuse is it good? That's right, the river! Lu Chengqi thought of this and smiled slightly. The Yellow River is always a pain for the people downstream, and they often can't return home. In the name of river governance, Keju Fucai will definitely be able to quickly gather huge sums of money. Besides, Lu Chengqi is not just talking, and now he really needs money to dig the canal. The money will indeed be used to control the river, and he is not lying. (To be continued.) )
