Chapter XVII
Si Yunlan didn't prevaricate Si Ning, he did have important things to do, he was busy checking the spies around him, the Yellow River Road was built on the boundary of Yinchuan, how could he not ask.
In addition to personally probing, he also arranged for a special person to go to the Yinchuan Dam every day to have a look, but as a result, when he went, he didn't see anything.
The people he arranged didn't get anything back.
There must be spies around him, he must dig these people out, and he has to worry about not startling the snakes, these days are really busy.
But the river course of the Yinchuan section of the Yellow River was also within his jurisdiction, and he was the county commander of Yinchuan, which was his duty.
Although all the previous affairs related to the Yellow River course and dikes were handled by Thorn Shi Liuyuan, when he met His Majesty, how could he answer His Majesty with three words that he didn't know.
He has now committed the crime of negligence, and he must find out what Liu Yuan has done in this Yellow River corruption case before His Majesty's will is issued.
Regarding the importance of the Yellow River embankment, Si Yunlan, the Yinchuan county commander, knows much more than Si Ning.
The Yellow River is called the river of sorrow since ancient times, originates from the Xingzhu Sea and flows through the Loess Plateau on the shore, torrents down, in a bucket, the sand dwells in its sixth, such as after Kaifeng, the city is gentle, the water flow is slow, and the sand is silt the river body.
Eastern Henan, southern Anhui, and Yinchuan are the places where it is raging, and officials of all dynasties have suffered from no cure.
Since the Great Levy Dynasty, the Yellow River has been treated as the first priority, and the Yellow River has burst for ten days, and the state may not protect it, so the Yellow River embankment is almost repaired every year, and it is overhauled every other year.
Inheriting the achievements of our ancestors, although the Yellow River has burst its banks in recent years, the casualties are still within a controllable range.
As for the dam built by Lin Jingdan, it is paper paste, if the river volume is small during the flood season, it is good to say, if some natural disasters occur, then the people of Yinchuan will be late.
Just when Si Yunlan was still busy, Si Ning had already walked around the most prosperous streets in Yinchuan.
Shuoshan was full of things that Si Ning had bought, and the dew drops on the side cast a helpless look at him.
Shuo Shan put his arm hard, turned the things in his hand upside down, and looked at the county lord who had been walking around for an hour with a helpless expression.
It's too tiring to accompany people shopping, and he Ning Yuan ran ten laps around Yinchuan.
"Are you tired?" Si Ning suddenly stopped and asked them.
Shuoshan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was interrupted by dew drops just as he wanted to speak, "Aren't we tired, is the county lord tired?" ”
Shuoshan: Not tired?
"I've been walking for so long, I'm really a little tired, there's an inn in front of me, let's go over and eat something, let's rest for a while."
I've been walking for an hour, and I'm a little tired.
Shuoshan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her say this.
Coincidentally, the inn that Si Ning chose happened to be the one where Li Su was staying.
After shopping for so long, Si Ning was indeed tired, and after sitting down, he asked Xiao Er to hurry up and serve a table of dishes.
Dew Drop and Shuoshan were still standing and refused to sit down at first, but Si Ning said it several times before sitting down.
"You're all tired, rest for a while, and we'll go back after dinner." Si Ning looked at the loot placed at their feet, he really bought a lot of things when he came out this time.
However, all she bought were some local specialties, and the excerpt for the impeachment of Lin Jingdan had already been sent to the capital, and when the news came from the capital, she should return to Beijing.
Her task is to reveal the truth, and as for what to do after that, she believes that Uncle Huang will definitely deal with it well.
The kitchen at the inn moved very quickly, and it didn't take long for Si Ning and their dishes to be served, and Si Ning was just about to open his mouth to beckon them to eat, when he saw a familiar figure go up to the second floor.
Jingyun? Si Ning frowned, if Jing Yun appeared here, it would mean that Li Su was also there.
Si Ning was a little irritable in his heart, he didn't expect to be able to meet him like this, he really didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today, so let's leave quickly after eating for a while.
"County Lord, what are you looking at?" Dew Zhu looked at the county lord and looked at the second floor in a trance, and asked.
"Nothing." Si Ning came back to his senses, "Use them all, don't be restrained by the two of you, eat more." ”
……
Jingyun went up to the second floor, knocked on Li Su's door, and saw a voice from inside asking him to enter, so he pushed the door in, and then closed the door with his backhand.
"Master......" Jing Yun hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "The subordinates saw the county lord of Changle downstairs.
"Hmm." Li Su put down the book in his hand and responded lightly, "What is the result of the surveillance?" ”
Jing Yun didn't expect the master's reaction to be so bland, too, the master should have been used to the stalking appearance of the county lord of Changle, but I don't know why he didn't revolve around the master this time, but took the maid to eat below, is it to get away with it?
Jing Yun didn't have time to think about it before he heard Li Su's inquiry.
Busy said, "Back to the master, my subordinates have followed the salt official for two days, and he went to a private house in Changping Lane yesterday and took him inside for three quarters of an hour before leaving.
The subordinates found out that the house was the house of You Shui'an, the master of the Yinchuan Thorn History Mansion. ”
"Sure enough." Li Su's eyes flashed, "Songbai will tell you what you found again." ”
"Yes." Songbai was sent out to investigate the truth about Yinchuan Yanjing, and he came back two hours earlier than Jingyun, and he told the story again.
It turns out that Yinchuan originally had a total of ten salt wells, and the annual salt output was about 400,000 catties, and the salt output was 460,000 catties written on the fold submitted by the Yinchuan Thorn History, which was not only a lot, but a lot more.
This means that there is no shortage of salt in Yinchuan, but where does the salt in Mao Liu's hands come from.
Salt could not have appeared in a vacuum, and it was impossible for private salt to come from those ten salt wells.
Then this shows that there must be unknown salt wells in Yinchuan.
After Songbai went to investigate, he found that there was indeed an unknown salt well hidden in Helan Mountain in Yinchuan, which was surrounded by officers and soldiers tightly.
"Then don't you understand, the mastermind behind this matter is Yinchuan Thorn Shi Liuyuan." Jing Yun clapped his hands and said.
Songbai glanced at him with disgust, isn't it obvious.
"Songbai, you take the holy decree, immediately go to the Shizuishan camp to order troops, and let them divide their soldiers into three teams, one team will go to Helan Mountain, one team will go to the Assassin Mansion, and the rest will guard the intersection out of the city."
There were only three of them on this trip, so naturally they couldn't fight hard, Li Su had already thought of a plan before coming.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it."
After Songbai left, Jingyun looked at Li Su and stopped talking, "Master, why don't you transfer troops from the Yinchuan battalion, it's obviously closer there." ”
Li Su glanced at him, "Think for yourself." ”
After speaking, Li Su pushed the door and walked out.
"Do you want to?" Jing Yun scratched his head, he couldn't think of it, was he afraid that Liu Yuan would collude with the people in the Yinchuan camp?
