Chen Mu told Cao Lao and the others what he had discovered, Cao Lao was shocked, he frowned, turned his head and looked in the direction of Cao Yu.

Seeing that Cao Yu was also full of confusion, Cao Lao became more and more puzzled, aren't you the ones who attacked this land?

Cao Lao's guess was the same as the rich man's guess, Cao Lao also thought when he first came to this deserted mansion and heard that crops could not grow on the soil.

It is possible that his nephew came back secretly and wanted to use some way to get the rich merchant to give up the land, and then he would take it back at a low price.

Now seeing young people like this, Cao Lao suddenly realized that he was probably thinking too much.

The young man shook his head silently, he had never thought of destroying the soil of this fertile field.

This is his old home, and the land feeds him, as well as the tenant farmers he hires.

He couldn't do anything about this land, Chen Mu frowned when he saw Cao Yu and Cao Lao like this.

"Didn't the officials catch the man?"

"No, those people are too fast, and it seems that they should be very familiar with the back mountain."

"There is such a problem in the soil of this land, it cannot be caused in a short period of time."

"Only if that person came to this mountain for a long time to do something to the field, slowly, the field became like this."

The lime must be carefully mixed into the soil so that no one can notice that the soil has changed.

If you work overnight, you can only take care of a small field overnight, and it will take a lot of time to make this field what it is today.

Nor can the man come often.

If it appears too often, it will also be discovered by the villagers and the people sent by the rich family to see the fields.

"Let people go to the back mountains to investigate, if that person often goes back and forth between the back mountains and fields, then he will leave a lot of traces."

"Let's see if there is a path formed by manpower in the back mountain, or something that the man inadvertently left behind."

"If you find it, if you continue to investigate with this clue, you will definitely be able to find out the origin of that person."

Lord Ye immediately responded and hurriedly retreated, Chen Mu saw this, retracted his thoughts, and looked up at Cao Lao.

"If someone mixes lime into the soil and makes the soil lose its fertility, then I guess it won't be so easy to restore the soil in the future."

"Even if there is a way to slowly restore the fertility of the soil, it will take a long time."

"In my opinion, it is better to directly change the soil in this field."

As soon as these words came out, the people in the room looked at each other.

Changed the soil?

It's easy to say, where do they find so much soil suitable for farming?

"If you want to find so much soil suitable for farming, don't you have to transport it to the place where you got it?"

"Won't the crops in that place not be able to grow?"

Hearing this, Chen Mu nodded, and responded.

That's true.

"Yes, but I have a thought, do you remember the hillside we saw when we came, the one where there was a small landslide."

Cao Lao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came back to his senses, and he nodded immediately.

That's right, the soil on the hillside needs to be cleared.

At present, the officials have not gone there to clean up the sliding gravel and soil on the official road, but they can let the officials clean up the gravel and soil and transport them here.

Although the soil quality is not as good as the original soil quality of this fertile field, it is much better than the soil that has been mixed with lime.

Chen Mu immediately sent someone to inform the officials, and when Lord Shao heard about this, he immediately dispatched people to that official road.

He collected all the earth and stones and transported them outside the Cao Yu family's mansion.

The group was busy for a day and two nights, and finally replaced all the soil in the fertile field, and the soil was also transported to the official road where the landslide had occurred.

The young man thanked Chen Mu again and again, thanking Dade.

"My lord, you and my second uncle will help us regain our family's land, and help us solve the problem of this fertile land."

"I don't know how to thank you!"

When Chen Mu heard this, he shook his head with a smile.

However, it was just a gesture, Chen Mu and the young man chatted a few words, and then asked his subordinates about the search in the mountains.

It's been so long, and I think we've already found clues.

The truth was not beyond his expectations, Lord Ye's people had indeed found evidence that could prove the person's identity.

Lord Ye asked the evidence to be submitted.

It was a cloth bag embroidered with a special pattern, and a corner of cloth.

"My subordinates have sent someone to check, and this cloth bag embroidered with a special pattern comes from a cloth village in a nearby city."

"I heard that this cloth bag is owned by the workers of Nabu Village, and I suspect that the person who came to us to attack Cao Gongzi's land is also a farmer of Nabu Village."

"As for this corner of fabric, I also ordered someone to investigate it in the city."

This corner of the cloth also comes from Nabu Village.

"This kind of fabric is cheap, most of the people who buy it are poor farmers, this fabric is durable, but it is very abrasive to the skin."

"When I sent someone to investigate, I learned that the annual money received by the workers in the Zhuangzi was not small, if the cloth really came from one of the workers in the Zhuangzi......"

"It's strange that the worker didn't have much money in his hand to buy the fabric, but it's also possible that he bought it in the early years."

When Chen Mu said this, he nodded and agreed, Nabuzhuang is in the city managed by Lord Shao.

Chen Mu immediately ordered Lord Shao to send people to Nabu Village, and the boss of the cloth village was also taken aback when he saw the official arrive, and he summoned all the workers to the front hall according to the instructions of the official officer.

Lord Shao's gaze swept over everyone present.

I saw a worker with his head bowed, looking cramped and uneasy.

Master Shao stepped forward and asked the worker if he had the cloth bags distributed to them by the owner of the cloth house.

Normally, these workers have cloth bags in their hands.

However, after Lord Shao asked so, the worker condensed his face and shook his head slowly.

Seeing this, the boss in cloth stiffened with a smile on his face.

He turned his head to look in the direction of Lord Shao in sincere fear, and then gave up his hand again and again.

"Lord Prefectural Order, although I don't know why you asked about the cloth bag."

"But...... But the loss of this man's cloth bag has nothing to do with the fact that we are workers in Zhuangzi and me! ”

I didn't know what it was, so I was anxious to clear up the relationship, and the worker saw that the boss of the cloth village was like this, and pouted, but he didn't say much.

Seeing this, Lord Shao nodded in response, but he didn't say much to the boss of the cloth village.

He glanced at his subordinates, and immediately someone stepped forward and pulled the worker to press the person into the dungeon, Chen Mu heard that he had found the suspect who had done something to the field.

He immediately rushed to the dungeon with Cao Lao, Cao Yu and others, wanting to interrogate the worker personally.

Cao Yu was shocked when he heard that the person who did the work on the fertile land was a poor person.

He thought that the people who did something to the good field would be the subordinates of the big families in the city.
