"So, it's a shocking plot!" said Xuewu, who could hear the conversation between the two of them.

"That's why the three of you have survived until now, you know?" Xiao Qingtan's smile that made the three of them shudder, "Let's talk about it, but I'm very interested in your Water Moon Pavilion Pavilion Master." ”

"Lord Xiao is worthy of being a genius, but what about it, you will lose this time. The tall and thin man also retracted his expression and said.

"Well, I know you've been holding me by the nose in the early days, although I don't know what your purpose is. But since I got He Guiren and you back, I think the distance between us has been pulled to the same level. Xiao Qingtan moved back and forth with his steps.

"Lord Xiao, you can't check it out. The tall and thin man continued expressionlessly, "Aren't all royal people who can earn the world?"

"Qing Tan, this. Xue Wu was also taken aback by the man's words and asked Xiao Qingtan.

"I don't know what others think, but since I, Xiao Qingtan, put on this flying fish suit, I have only one master, and that is the current saint. Xiao Qingtan chuckled.

"Stubborn, he took away other people's rivers and mountains, what kind of saint is he. The thin and tall man also snorted when he saw Xiao Qingtan say this.

"You are the Emperor's people?" Fang Xiao said behind him.

The tall and thin man hadn't spoken yet, but Xuewu preemptively blocked Fang Xiao's mouth. "You kid, the losses are all your own people, otherwise the people from Dongchang will come over. "Blood is also a lesson.

"Fang Xiao's heart when it comes to the royal family in the future is clear. Xiao Qingtan also mentioned something.

"Hahaha, Lord Xiao really doesn't dare to touch it. The tall and thin man also laughed.

"It's not that I dare not touch it, but I don't have to. Xiao Qingtan thought about something with his hands behind his back, "I said everything so clearly, why bother, tell me how much grain and grass you have transported and where it has been transported." Won't you be able to save your life?"

"Lord Xiao, you have your saint, and we naturally have our saint. The tall and thin man ignored Xiao Qingtan's words and continued, "As for whose saint is the true saint, then see you on the battlefield." ”

"So be it, and treat them well. In addition, now let those who want to come to protect them pay some money one by one. Xiao Qing Tan saw that they didn't move, and they didn't do much entanglement.

"Yes, the subordinates know what to do. Li Feng was also ordered to stand aside.

"Blood Wu, Fang Xiao follow me to the study. Xiao Qingtan closed his eyes and didn't know what to think about and said.

"Hmm. Xuewu and Fang Xiao also nodded and followed him out of the cell.

Xiao Qingtan's study is not big, only two bookshelves are placed in the east and north, and a desk is placed in front of the bookshelf in the north. Facing the gate are two Huanghuali Taishi chairs. The three of them walked into the study in turn, and Xiao Qingtan walked to the bookshelf due north by himself, signaling Fang Xiao and the others to do it first.

"I said, Qing Tan, what are you looking for?" Xiao Qing Tan asked as he rummaged through the bookshelves due north.

"Map of the neighborhood of Hangzhou. Xiao Qingtan said and finally found it from a box on the ground floor, "You guys come and see." ”

Hearing Xiao Qingtan's call, Xuewu and Fang Xiao also walked to the desk, and Xiao Qingtan also spread out the dusty map in front of the three of them, "You see that this is Hangzhou City, even if there are officials above and businessmen below who cooperate to go out of the city, there are still a lot of other places to investigate, so I don't think the location of their troops will be too far from Hangzhou." Xiao Qingtan said.

"You think that this way they can ship multiple batches and small quantities to get rid of the crossings of the border. Xuewu also said with his chin dragged.

"Well, so I mean to distribute six gates throughout Zhejiang to strictly check the sudden gathering of people in the place. Xiao Qingtan narrowed his eyes and said.

"Wait, Brother Qing Tan. Fang Xiao looked at the map and gestured.

"What's wrong, Fang Xiao?" Xiao Qingtan looked at the serious Fang Xiao and asked.

"Maybe they didn't recruit soldiers. Fang Xiao said it word by word.

"How is this possible!" said Bloodino first.

"You see, from Hangzhou to the outside are rich areas in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are not far from Liu, although they lack troops, they have always been tightly controlled. It's too hard to ship so many things out of Hangzhou. Fang Xiao pointed to the map and said, "Secondly, most of our people here are rich, and they are unlikely to be instigated, and it is too difficult to recruit troops." ”

"Secondly, if they really want to raise troops from the south, then they must capture Jinling and confront the north and south, but don't forget that the one they support is still in the capital. Fang Xiao saw Xiao Qing and Tan listening carefully to his opinion, and continued.

"But if they're not recruiting, they're going to spend so much effort on what they're trying to do. Blood Wu said with a puzzled head.

"It's still a soldier!" Xiao Qingtan said with a not very good face, "Their goal is to rebel, so they must recruit soldiers, but the source of soldiers is not with us." ”

"That's right, they only hoard food for disaster relief!" Fang Xiao said.

"Isn't it recruitment? Why is it related to disaster relief? Blood didn't ask.

"If you think about it, is it a group of people who don't have enough to eat and are willing to rebel or a group of people who live and work in peace and contentment are willing to rebel?" Xiao Qingtan said, "For the people in the disaster area, saving their lives is naturally above all else, and when the time comes, blame the natural disaster on the Son of Heaven, then the rebellion will be logical." ”

"Moreover, in the name of disaster relief, the transportation of grain and grass will be smooth, and it will be extremely convenient to carry some weapons at that time. Fang Xiao also sighed, "When this batch of grain, grass and weapons was transported to the disaster area, then a rebel army suddenly appeared. ”

"But there haven't been any disasters lately. Xuewu continued to ask.

"They are such thoughtful people, how easy it is for a little natural disaster. Droughts have occurred in Guanzhong from time to time in recent years, and even if there is no one this year, wouldn't the breaking of the embankment of the Yellow River be a flood?" Xiao Qingtan seemed to have predicted the future.

"How dare they, that's tens of thousands of people. Blood Wu immediately shouted.

"In their eyes, human life is never valuable. Xiao Qingtan sat on the chair and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Fang Xiao, where do you think they will put the grain and grass?"

"Brother Qing Tan, you see, as you said, it is not easy to produce a large amount of grain and grass in Hangzhou, even if it is dispersed, there is no place to store grain nearby. Fang Xiao also smiled, "On the contrary, there are several granaries near Hangzhou City. ”

"The most dangerous place is the safest place?" Xiao Qingtan also wiped his beard, "Well, it will be convenient for them to take food in the name of disaster relief." ”

"But aren't there fixed numbers in the granaries?, counting them every month?" said Xuewu. Hearing this, Fang Xiao also frowned.

"No, there's a granary that won't be lit. Xiao Qingtan suddenly spoke.

"Which one?" asked Xue Wu and Fang Xiao.

"Chengxi Cang. Xiao Qingtan said and pointed to a position in the west of the city, "This warehouse is under the supervision of the priest, and the things it collects are directly handed over to the emperor's inner treasury, and they are not included in the national treasury." Moreover, the eunuch who was sent here to take charge died last month, and no one was sent for the time being. ”

"And then I finally understood everything. Xiao Qingtan's face finally appeared with a smile that Zhizhu was holding.
