"You have to be careful, you can't let the prince's people notice that the prince has countless subordinates, especially the Ye family."

"The Ye family has cultivated many juniors, all of whom have worked hard for His Royal Highness the Prince, and many of them are quite strong, just like that Lord Ye."

"They also stand behind His Royal Highness the Prince, becoming secret guards, pervasive, I heard that the prince wants to find out what news, just a few days can be found out."

A long-bearded old man in the room said with a serious face.

Everyone knew about Chen Mu, and when they heard the long-bearded old man say this, they all nodded and agreed.

"We arrested those two officials, but we didn't spread the news, I guess the families of those two officials noticed that something was wrong, and they probably wouldn't have reported this matter to the prince."

"Plus, even if they sense something is wrong."

"We can also blame the disappearance of these two officials on the bandits who are staying in the surrounding mountains when they send people to this city to investigate the matter of those two officials."

Another middle-aged man said this, and everyone looked at each other and smiled.

The two officials they were talking about were the two officials of the Ministry of Commerce, and these people were the lords of the price supervision office, and a few merchants who wanted to raise the price of grain.

The prefectural decree did not come, and they were plotting the matter in the merchant's house.

They didn't notice that outside their courtyard, a figure flashed by.

When the people sent by Lord Ye heard about this, they immediately realized something, and it seemed that the disappearance of the two officials of the Ministry of Commerce was indeed related to these people.

He immediately rushed back to the capital and told Lord Ye about it.

Lord Ye reported the matter to Chen Mu, who sighed and nodded.

He didn't expect that it was really those people who were secretly making trouble.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what are we going to do next, now that we know the plan, we will arrest them directly."

"It's a pity that our people searched around Nafu and didn't find the whereabouts of those two shopkeepers, and I suspect that the two shopkeepers were aware of their intentions and intentions."

"I want to tell us what they're going to do."

And those people are not vegetarians either, maybe they also have their own eyeliner in the capital.

After those eyeliners noticed the movements of the two shop adults, those people immediately took action against the two shop adults.

Hearing this, Chen Mu frowned, when they didn't find the whereabouts of the two shop adults, they couldn't take the liberty of doing something to those officials who supervised the mansion.

Chen Mu said after pondering for a moment.

"Otherwise, send people to approach those people pretending to be merchants who carry grain, and those people want to raise the price of grain."

"The method used is the same as the method we used when we caught those merchants in the small northern city some time ago."

These people hoarded the grain in their own hands and waited for the price to rise, after Chen Mu said this, Lord Ye understood what Chen Mu meant.

Just as he was about to step back and arrange this, Chen Mu stopped Lord Ye, and then shook his head.

"I just thought about it and decided to go to the small southern town to take a look."

"It's late autumn recently, and it's a critical time for the south to be prone to flooding."

"Several rivers in the south have recently been built with water projects."

Those officials of the Ministry of Industry are good at tricks, and Chen Mu doesn't know if those people will take this opportunity to embezzle official money.

Therefore, it is planned to take this opportunity to investigate the whereabouts of the two officials of the Ministry of Commerce, and at the same time investigate the construction of water conservancy projects.

Lord Ye understood what Chen Mu meant, and he frowned.

As Chen Mu said, now is the time when the southern town is prone to natural disasters.

What if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince goes down and just happens to catch up with a natural disaster?

Chen Mu also saw Lord Ye's worries, and he said to Lord Ye.

"You don't have to worry, I encountered a natural disaster in that city, before leaving, you send someone to the weather monitoring mansion and Cao Lao to inquire about them."

"After asking about the situation in the small cities in the south, we will set off again."

Lord Ye nodded clearly and agreed.

After that, Lord Ye hurriedly retreated, preparing to find Cao Lao.

When Cao Lao heard that Chen Mu was going to go to the southern town, he was also shocked.

He immediately observed the celestial phenomena overnight, and stayed until the next morning, when Cao Lao personally entered the palace and told Chen Mu what he had observed.

"Returning to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I have observed that in the following January, it rained heavily in several small cities in the south, and dikes were being built in the rivers of those small towns."

"If the water conservancy project is almost completed, then there will be no flooding in those small towns, if the water conservancy project has not been completed."

"It's very easy to cause floods, and the floods can easily wash away the infrastructure of water conservancy projects."

When Chen Mu heard this, his face immediately became serious, he nodded, and responded.

Cao Lao gave a detailed introduction to the situation he had investigated, and told Chen Mu about the situation in those small towns.

Chen Mu asked Lord Ye to carefully note down the situation in those small cities on the side, and wait until he was sure that everything was correct.

Chen Mu nodded to Cao Lao and said with emotion.

"It's good that Cao Lao is here, otherwise I don't know how to prevent possible natural disasters."

"I'll send people to the small towns that are building water conservancy projects to check on the situation."

Cao Lao first nodded in agreement, and then he looked at Chen Mu hesitantly.

Chen Mu saw that Cao Lao seemed to have something to say, he raised his eyebrows, sighed secretly, and said quietly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I want to go to the small southern cities with you, on the one hand, because those small southern cities are about to rain heavily, and there is also a possibility of flooding."

"I personally went there overnight to observe the sky, familiarize myself with the local terrain, and can also help you prevent possible natural disasters."

In addition, another reason why Cao Lao wanted to go to those small southern cities was a private matter.

Cao Lao's nephew lived in the villages around those small towns, and Cao Lao had not seen his nephew for many years.

Now seeing Chen Mu mention the matter of those small towns, Cao Lao missed, and Chen Mu did not refuse Cao Lao's request.

Cao Lao did things for him after he came to the capital, and every time he predicted the weather of the sky, it was extremely accurate.

I heard that there were also people in Beijing who tried to get close to Cao Lao and others, and asked Cao Lao and others to use divination to see their faces.

But Cao Lao and the others refused, they knew that Chen Mu didn't like them to use their own means to divinate others.

They also knew that the reason why Chen Mu was willing to stay in the capital was because of their ability to observe the sky at night, rather than their ability to calculate.

Those members of the big family knew the origin of Cao Lao and his brothers, and they were very disdainful of them, just as they were a group of rural villagers from poor rural areas.

The reason why he was able to ascend to the sky once relied on the blue eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince.

When they first found Cao Lao and the others, the conditions they gave were also quite superior, and they didn't expect that Cao Lao would reject them at all.
