Whoa!

The black and oppressive dark clouds were just a gust of wind blowing, that is, whistling down, and the raindrops slanted down, sweeping the heavens and the earth. The originally bright heaven and earth, as the heavy rain swept in, became black and oppressive, as if it was entering the twilight hour, as if it was about to get dark.

Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Li Mu was a little depressed.

Cracking sound!

Suddenly, Li Mu seemed to see something, only to see that the heavy rain was mixed with hail, which was also attacking, hitting the leaves, and the leaves were scattered and broken. When it hits the tiles, it also makes a terrifying sound, which is terrifying.

As if thinking of something, Li Mu no longer cared about the heavy rain and ran directly outside the city.

In the field, wheat is planted, and millet is waiting, and it is June at the moment, which is the critical moment of growth, but a hailstorm comes, and a lot of wheat is beaten, and the millet is also beaten.

The failure of the grain harvest seems to have become a foregone conclusion.

"It's a big trouble, it's a natural and man-made disaster!"

Li Mu looked sad.

Not long ago, there was a shortage of granaries, but now there are hail houses, which cause a grain harvest.

Harvesting three or five buckets per mu seems to have little impact, but in fact it has a great impact.

Just like Li Mu, no matter how severe the natural disaster is, he will not go hungry; but ordinary people, in disaster years, sell their fields, sell their sons and daughters, and eat Guanyin soil, one after another.

............

"The key now is to get back those deficit grains!" Li Mu said: "If there is a deficit in the official warehouse and granary in a good harvest year, it is not a big problem, even if it can't be recovered, there are people who carry it...... But in a disaster year, it will be a devastating disaster, and it will almost end in death!"

Speaking of this, Li Mu was also a little embarrassed.

Originally, after thinking of Youzhou, he was divided and collapsed, and some civil officials were co-opted, becoming pawns and constantly charging into battle...... But now that there is a shortage of food, there is no patience, and it continues to divide and disintegrate, and win over the frustrated factions.

Overcome the current difficulties and talk about other things, and if you can't get through everything, don't talk about anything else.

The interrogation continued, and in Yinxian, Ningbo, and Jinling, the trained henchmen came one after another, participated in the incoming interrogation work, and were involved in the investigation.

The officials were sent in batches and interrogated day and night, but the result was only that it was found out that they were bought by the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce, and the caliber was the same, as for how to operate, how to transport, manpower, etc., they didn't know. Or rather, it is precisely because I don't know that I have lived until now.

Those who know, long since died.

For example, Qian Tongju knew something, so he died.

Zhao Zhizhou knew something, and he was also dead.

Feng Wuji knew some, and he was also dead.

The rest are not known, because they don't know, and they have lived until now.

Under the continuous shots, I still caught some small shrimps, and there was a lot of silver, but what was it, the silver could not be eaten, and the food was the fundamental...... Especially in disaster years, even if you spend money, you can't buy food.

Somewhat tired, Li Mu looked at the file.

In order to get clues, they pry open the mouths of corrupt officials and use all kinds of torture, but they still do not get useful information.

When he returned to the mansion, Li Mu was about to say something.

Suddenly, a man appeared in front of him, silently, with a veil on his face, and he couldn't see his true face clearly.

"Meet your lord, I'm here to ask for help!"

The man in black said, taking off his veil and revealing a familiar face.

"You are Zhao Tianmu, the dead Zhizhou!" Li Mu said, "Sure enough, you are not dead!"

"It's me!" Zhao Tianmu showed a look of surprise and said, "How do you notice?"

Li Mu said: "The coffin was opened for an autopsy, and it was found that the body was fake!"

Zhao Tianmu said: "The one who died was one of my stand-ins...... I am not only a Zhizhou, but also a great master. ”

As he spoke, the aura on his body flashed, like a mountain and a sea, and the terrifying aura emanated from it was the consummation of the Great Grandmaster.

Li Mu was slightly surprised that this former Youzhou Zhizhou turned out to be a great grandmaster.

Great grandmasters, no matter where they are, are high-level, many civil officials are mostly congenital, grandmasters, etc., and only a few are great grandmasters. In the intelligence, Zhao Tianmu is only a grandmaster, but now he is a great grandmaster, obviously hiding his strength.

"I am the governor of Youzhou, and I had a lot of reputation in the rivers and lakes back then, just to avoid some enemies, I entered the court as an official. That day, I was cultivating in the secret room, and the stand-in was outside to handle some official business for me, but by the time I appeared, the stand-in was already dead!"

"So, I faked my death and ran away!"

Zhao Tianmu said something secretive.

"Why don't you tell the emperor!" Li Mu asked.

"Because it's not safe there...... I can't guarantee what the emperor will do, maybe for the sake of stability and for the sake of the overall situation, I will be sacrificed!" Zhao Tianmu said, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Li Mu was also silent.

Such a thing, quite possibly!

"Why did you find me?" Li Mu said.

"Because, my wife, and my son, I can't do anything when I'm in danger...... I can only ask Hou Ye to make a move!" Zhao Tianmu said, "I believe in Hou Ye more than the emperor, because Hou Ye still has a conscience, and his heart is not too dark!"

"Okay, I can make a move!"

Li Mu said: "But you also have to give me a reason to make a move, what happened in Youzhou, why were you assassinated, what happened?"

Zhao Tianmu was silent, and after a long time, he spoke: "The Divine Sword King wants to rebel!"

"Why?" Li Mu said: "The Divine Sword King, the position is high and powerful, almost the limit of human ministers, what good is it to oppose him!"

"I don't know!"

Zhao Tianmu said: "In the world, the most difficult guess is people's hearts, many friends betrayed, but many passers-by will help one or two! I don't have any evidence of the rebellion of the Divine Sword King, but I just have some guesses by chance." At that time, a Yuantu intelligence stronghold was discovered, and some letters were found in it!"

As he spoke, Zhao Tianmu lowered a letter.

Li Mu took it, the envelope had been opened, and he flipped through it.

"Third brother, my mother is sick at home and needs you to go home and visit!"

"Third brother, the owner wants to resign, what do you think!"

"Third brother, everything is fine at home, and my mother's condition has improved!"

"Third brother, little sister gets married this year!"

When I opened these letters, they were all about the length of the family, and they were all talking about trivial things in life, and there were nothing important.

"And take a look at this, this is the letter that Wan Jianchen, a confidant of the Divine Sword King, left when he communicated with me!" Zhao Tianmu took out another letter.

Comparing the two sheets, the text on the letters is similar.

"According to my investigation, Wan Jianchen's mother has passed away a long time ago, and there is no third brother or younger sister in the family, only two sisters, who are also married!" Zhao Tianmu said: "I guess that these letters say that trivial matters in life represent some codes!"

PS: The third more continues to code words to go, updated at night.
