"Man-made disaster?" Several people, including Zhao Yuan, were stunned at the same time. "What do you mean by that, sir?"

"It's all deliberate." Li Canghai paused and said, "Do you remember what the severed finger said?" The scar allowed him to buy some gunpowder, which was used here. ”

"Your Excellency, are you saying that the levee was not breached by a flood, but was deliberately destroyed?" Chang Feng instantly understood, and he exclaimed in surprise.

For everyone, this news is no less than being hit by a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and they dare not imagine that the Yellow River burst its embankment is actually man-made.

"Look at this stone, if I'm not mistaken, the marks on it must be the marks left by the burning of gunpowder. The loud noise at that time was actually the sound of gunpowder exploding. Li Canghai pointed to the shallow marks on the stone and said.

Several people looked at each other a few times in amazement, Zhao Yuan touched his nose, and said in disbelief: "Master Li, what you said, is there any evidence to show it?" ”

"Then I'll sort everything over again. Wang Buquan's housekeeper bribed the scar and let it come to destroy the embankment. Fearing that his actions would be known, Scar asks Severed Finger to buy explosives, and when everything is ready, Scar comes alone to blow up the embankment. At this time, the water in the upper reaches of the Yellow River was surging, so the blown loose dikes could not withstand the violent impact of the river, which led to the flooding. Li Canghai put the whole thing together in simple language and said it to several people.

After listening, several people looked at each other.

"How can you dare to blow up a levee and cause a flood, it is an unforgivable sin! Where are the people who blew up the dikes now? After Zhao Yuan heard this, he was immediately furious.

"Lord Zhao is angry, the instigator and the person who blew up the dam are dead." Li Canghai clasped his hands in front of his chest and said while thinking about everything he had experienced before.

Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and he said in amazement: "What's going on?" ”

Chang Feng hurriedly told him what had happened, and after listening to it, Zhao Yuan's face was full of surprise, anger, and some doubts, and his expression was very exciting.

"Master Li, you said that the butler was the mastermind behind this, but what is his purpose?" Zhao Yuan was very puzzled.

Li Canghai rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "This is also what I am investigating, if my guess is correct, this matter and the stele should be a conspiracy." ”

Zhao Yuan looked back at the Dragon King Temple in surprise, the appearance of the blood stone tablet in the Dragon King Temple of the Yellow River had spread throughout Luoyang City, and he had already heard about it before he arrived.

Today, this stele still stands in front of the Dragon King Temple, and Li Canghai said that the Yellow River burst was related to the stele, which made him not only a little curious.

"My lord, the stone tablet says the specific time when the Yellow River burst its embankment, could it be that as early as the Qin Dynasty, someone calculated that the scar would come to blow up the embankment on that day?" Chang Feng was also puzzled, he scratched his head and asked.

Li Canghai smiled indifferently: "How could people thousands of years ago know what will happen after a thousand years. Actually, we were all deceived by the stone tablet. ”

"Tricked by the stele?" Chang Feng was even more puzzled.

"Zuo Hongji, you have a lot of calligraphy and painting antiques at home, you must also know something about antiquities, right? In your opinion, what about the stele? Li Canghai didn't answer Chang Feng, but asked Zuo Hongji.

Zuo Hongji recalled the stele and said: "From the material point of view, the stele is indeed an antiquity, and the font engraved on the stele is indeed a small seal circulated in the Qin Dynasty, and the grass people think that this stele is genuine." ”

Li Canghai shook his head noncommittally and said, "You are only half right. The reason why I said that I was deceived by the stele is because this stele is indeed an antiquity, but the words engraved on it are not necessarily. ”

Everyone was stunned, and they looked at Li Canghai in a daze.

"The font of Xiao Seal has been handed down since the Qin Dynasty, and it is not unintelligible. The reason why we think that the stele is a thing of the Qin Dynasty is because the stele is mottled and the small seal that was popular during the Qin Dynasty is also engraved on it, so we think so. As long as people who have read the book and see this stone tablet, they will subconsciously make such a judgment. It's a clever trick that tends to overlook the most obvious clues. Li Canghai's voice was full of praise.

With only one stone stele, he almost covered up all the truth, if it weren't for Li Canghai having more eyes than others and finding out the truth about the Yellow River bursting, I'm afraid he wouldn't have figured out the truth of this stone stele anyway.

"What you mean is that someone has carved words on the ancient monument to make us mistakenly think that it is a prophecy left thousands of years ago. In fact, the so-called prophecy is nothing more than a game laid out by the person who engraved the letter. Because the time of blowing up the Yellow River embankment is in the hands of the person who engraved it, the time on the stele and the time when the Yellow River burst will be so consistent. Zuo Hongji suddenly realized and groaned.

Li Canghai nodded approvingly at him, Zuo Hongji deserved to be a businessman, and he had already guessed what he meant when his mind turned.

"So, it's likely that the person who engraved the lettering is the butler? He let people blow up the levee and kill people, what is the purpose of what he has done so much? Chang Feng became more and more confused.

"Whether the steward is the one who engraved the letter, it is not yet possible to determine, I guess, the stele is very likely to be made by the steward, its purpose is to reflect the flood, explain the prophecy on the stele, and make the people believe that this is a disaster of heavenly punishment." Li Canghai's thinking became clearer and clearer, and he said in a deep voice.

Several people gasped, and Chang Feng scolded viciously: "This guy is so mad, if he doesn't die, I will kill him with my own hands!" But why did he do it? ”

Li Canghai was silent, and now he can be 100% sure that this matter is inextricably linked to the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu'.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' has laid out a big game.

Although there was only one butler, he pushed the entire Zhengyang City into a desperate situation.

If he hadn't come to take office and blocked the breach by mistake, Zhengyang City would have turned into an ocean, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

When the Yellow River burst, no one would have thought that it was actually deliberately sabotaged.

Obviously, the bursting of the Yellow River was to confirm the contents of the stele and make people believe that this was a divine punishment from heaven.

However, what Li Canghai couldn't figure out was why they chose to blow up the Yellow River dam at this time.

However, he didn't know that the content on the stone tablet had spread all over the world.

Li Canghai didn't know much about today's Datang, and he always thought that Datang was in its prime, but he didn't know that the Tang Dynasty had entered the end of its prosperity.

Today's Datang, although the world is prosperous, but locust plagues are everywhere, and evil breeds, and it has long been no longer prosperous.

In addition, the imperial court has been fighting for many years, the service is heavy, and officials in various places have arbitrarily collected harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people have long complained.
