Chapter 134: Disappointment

The little sister of the Li family was surprised, but she also muttered.

"The news I got today? Could it be that the female gentleman told Brother Zhang? But how could the female gentleman have such news?"

The little sister of the Li family recalled everything in Jinshan Temple today, and felt that her ordinary-looking female husband was covered with a veil of mystery.

And Gao Yimin and other court officials couldn't sit still.

"Mr. Nameless, though it's a bit rude to ask. But is the news reliable?" Gao Yimin asked, standing up.

"I can't guarantee that the information will be reliable, but I think I can trust it. Zhang Ning said.

"Dare to ask Mr. Nameless where and who got the news. Gao Yimin asked in a deep voice.

"I can't say. Zhang Ning shook his head and said.

If Bai Shujing is explained, then her identity as a white snake must be involved. Of course, demons can't be trusted by people, Zhang Ning can trust Bai Shujing, but others may not.

Therefore, saying Bai Shujing is not only disadvantageous, but harmful.

Gao Yimin and the others frowned when they heard this, but they didn't ask. Although they really wanted to pry out the news from Zhang Ning's mouth, it was obviously impossible.

The other party is nameless.

"What do you think?" Gao Yimin looked around at his colleagues present, his face was very serious. Unconsciously, this place seems to have become a state pastoral yamen.

"If it's true, of course it's going to be a big move. Not only did he ask the imperial court to send a large number of patrols to arrest the house, as well as masters from all walks of life to guard Hangzhou, but also to listen to the movements of the black snake, and then move hundreds of people inside and outside Hangzhou to a safe place. A general said in a deep voice, but then he glanced at Zhang Ning and said apologetically: "With Mr. Unknown's status in the rivers and lakes, of course he will not be untargeted. But we don't know the source, so it's hard to tell if the news is true or not. If we just chase after the wind and catch shadows, but we have to work hard to mobilize the people, then it is really difficult for us. ”

Although the general's speech was a little ugly, it was the voice of everyone.

Actually, there are even more ugly ones.

But afraid of Zhang Ning's strong strength, the officials present did not dare to say it.

"We are members of the imperial court, why should we believe your words. Immediately mobilize hundreds of people inside and outside Hangzhou to migrate, and mobilize the people?"

If it weren't for the nameless person who said the news, there would have been a big man present who would have taken the case.

"Although General Chen's words are inappropriate, I also agree. Gao Yimin also said euphemistically.

"I understand. Zhang Ning nodded, and then said calmly: "But you can not believe in chasing the wind and shadows, but you can check it." It happened eight years ago, and since there were two snake demons making waves and fighting with a high monk, the patrol will eventually leave a record. You can also check the state chronicles to see if there is a matter of every Jiazi, and the water level of Bailong Lake will skyrocket. If it is, then at least it is not chasing after the wind. ”

Gao Yimin and others were relatively speechless, we are the members of the imperial court, how can we forget that we can check it like this. In fact, the news was so impactful that they reacted a lot slower.

"I immediately sent someone to investigate. Gao Yimin nodded, and immediately asked someone from the other courtyard to call his people outside the door in, and ordered to go to the state pastor's mansion to get the state chronicle.

"I'll see for myself. "Li Shuangnian, the chief catcher of the patrol room, is even more straightforward, and after a little step, the person has already left the elegant hall.

As the matter was assigned, there was silence in the hall. Although everyone here has good tea on the coffee table, no one is in the mood to taste tea.

The stakes are just too great.

For Zhang Ning, it is a question of whether he wants to manage this matter or not. If it doesn't work, it will be hundreds of thousands or even more dead and wounded.

For the little sister of the Li family, this Nizi is also kind-hearted, but she is more powerless. She is neither a contemporary Ning Guogong nor a generation of masters.

But even if hundreds of thousands of people were killed or wounded, Hangzhou was breached. Zhang Ning and the little sister of the Li family will not lose a single hair, but the court officials present are different, and they are definitely to blame.

Li Shuangnian, the chief catcher of the patrol room, is a master of the heavenly realm, and his strength is extremely strong, and he can go and come back quickly. He walked in and sat down with an old booklet in his hand, his face extremely solemn.

"How's it going?" Gao Yimin asked a little nervously.

"Eight Jiazi years, that is, four hundred and eighty years ago, there is indeed a record of a white snake and a black fighting with a high monk. At that time, Bailong Lake was not called Bailong Lake, but was later renamed Bailong Lake. The white snake was captured, and the black snake was nowhere to be found. ”

Li Shuangnian said in a deep voice.

"I'll see. Gao Yimin shouted in his heart, and got up a little anxiously to borrow the booklet. After getting the booklet, Gao Yimin sat down to watch, but the record of this patrol room was very simple, no different from what Li Shuangnian said, and there were no clues.

Gao Yimin frowned deeply.

Soon after, the men and horses sent out by Gao Yimin also returned, and a young man who looked like a scribe walked in with six booklets in his hand.

"What does the state chronicle say, does Bailong Lake skyrocket once every Jiazi year?" Gao Yimin asked.

The scribe didn't know why, and wondered how his own adults could care about such a flood. But the strange thing is that the state chronicles do say so.

This state chronicle is to record all kinds of major events in the entire Wuzhou, and Daqi has been passed down for thousands of years, and the records of events in a thousand years are very reliable.

And there are also state chronicles left in the previous dynasty.

The scribe nodded and said: "Back to my lord, the villain not only checked the records of the flood in the eight Jiazi years, but also checked it again, not only in my dynasty, but also in the former Song Dynasty There were also records about the water level soaring in the Jiazi year. ”

The faces of Gao Yimin and the court officials present became a little ugly, and Gao Yimin was no longer interested in reading the state chronicles, so he waved his hand to let the scribe go down.

Then he sighed: "Although the turtle has a long life, there is still a time." Teng snake ride the fog, and eventually turn into ashes. ”

"I didn't expect that in the former Song Dynasty, there was such a thing as Teng snake soil ash left. Dare to ask Mr. Nameless, the water level of Bailong Lake skyrockets every Jiazi year, can it be related to this Teng Snake soil ash?"

Gao Yimin asked again.

"I don't know. Zhang Ning shook his head and said, he had heard of the name of the Divine Turtle and the Teng Snake, but he didn't know much about it, but guessed it, it was probably related.

Gao Yimin sighed and no longer cared about the matter. Anyway, he just asked about this matter casually, and now the key question is whether the black snake will appear.

So Gao Yimin no longer talked to Zhang Ning, but discussed with his colleagues how to deal with this matter.

They discussed for half an hour, wasted countless tongues, and drank several cups of tea each, but the result was a big disappointment for Zhang Ning.
