Yelang finally came back, walked in front of Luo Chen with a gloomy face, only to ease up a little, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the identities of those victims have been clarified, they are all disaster victims!" ”

Luo Chen's eyes froze: "Where are they all from?" ”

"Most of them came from Wei County and Lantian County, and most of them were alone."

"An autopsy was conducted on them, and it was found that the earliest person had died three days ago!"

Luo Chen's face was dark, and he said in a low voice: "Let them be buried thickly!" ”

"Is there any news from the Jinyi Guards in other places?"

"There are no clues yet!"

Luo Chen bowed his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "The officials of the county guard mansion have been secretly investigated, and there are personnel transfers in the past six months, and all the abnormalities in the behavior of some officials have been controlled by Lone!" ”

"No!"

Yelang's face was pale, and he left quickly!

……

Changan!

Goden!

Emperor Xia looked at the urgent report sent from Jiangnan, looked at Su Xun and the others, and showed a relaxed smile on his face: "The prince sent a letter, the locust situation in Jiangnan has been effectively controlled, and he suggested that the scientific expedition be carried out as usual, what do you think?" ”

"Got it?"

Su Xun and Jiang Shang glanced at each other, they both saw the joy in each other's eyes, and after glancing at Luo Chen's letter, Jiang Shang laughed: "The old minister knows that His Royal Highness is a person who is good at creating miracles!" ”

"Hmm!" Su Xun also proudly took a handful of beards, and said with a smile: "Of course, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, how can the tiger father have dogs?" ”

Emperor Xia listened to Su Xun's sycophants and laughed: "Okay, don't be joking, let's talk about the imperial examination, what do you mean?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is reasonable, now that the four seas are leveled, the imperial examination is related to the foundation of a country, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, it should not be moved!"

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said makes sense! The imperial examination is the foundation of the country, and now that the county examination has been successfully held, the general examination will naturally be carried out as usual! ”

The corners of Emperor Xia's mouth twitched suddenly, and he scolded with a smile: "You two old things, you were strongly opposed yesterday, but today it was just a letter from the prince, so you changed your mind, hehe!" ”

Listening to Emperor Xia's mocking words, Su Xun smiled: "Your Majesty Mingjian, yesterday's disaster in Jiangnan was unknown, and the ministers did not dare to take risks, but now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has controlled the disaster, there is naturally no problem!" ”

Emperor Xia bowed slightly, and said softly: "Okay, since this is the case, immediately send an order to the Ministry of Rites, and the trial will start on June 1, without delay!" ”

"Yes!"

Su Xun arched his hand and spoke again: "By the way, Your Majesty!" ”

"I heard that Li Ru went to Jiangnan?"

Su Xun looked at Emperor Xia with a hint of inquiry!

"Hmm!" When Emperor Xia heard Su Xun ask about Li Ru's trip to Jiangnan, his face was also condensed, and he said in a low voice: "The assassination of the official mission of Nanyuan Mansion has something to do with those underground fleas, and now that the prince is also in Jiangnan, let them completely solve those people and come back!" ”

Su Xun's face also showed a trace of solemnity, and he bowed slightly: "Minister, retire first!" ”

……

Gangnam!

A very ordinary carriage was parked outside the county seat of Jiangnan Province!

Li Ru said lightly: "Don't enter the city, go directly to Nanyuan County!" ”

"No!"

Several guards bowed slightly, and Li Ru asked lightly, "Have you found valuable clues recently?" ”

"The number one Jianghu force in Jiangnan, the Tianxia Alliance, has a little bit of involvement with His Highness, and moreover, they are also fighting openly and secretly with these people!"

"What else?"

"They haven't shown their heads for a long time, and for a while, we can't find out!"

"Humph!"

Li Ru's face was cold, and he glanced at him lightly, "From now on, I will give you three days, if you can't find any clues, go to the Criminal Law Hall yourself!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Ru closed the curtain of the carriage again and said softly: "Go to Nanyuan Mansion!" ”

At this time, in a house in the city, a man in black pushed the door in, looked at the middle-aged man in cloth sitting in the courtyard, and knelt on one knee: "Boss, Li Ru secretly came to Jiangnan!" ”

The middle-aged man's face was slightly surprised, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes: "Oh? ”

"Secretly?"

"Exactly, just brought a few followers, and it seems to be coming for us!"

The middle-aged man smiled faintly: "Interesting! ”

"Let's go on a trip with the night patrol and the clouds, and try to leave people behind me!"

"Yes!"

……

Nanwon Province!

"Your Highness, there is a clue!"

Yelang hurriedly walked in, with a hint of excitement on his face, and said softly: "Your Highness, our people found the carriage of the grain transport team on a barren mountain a hundred miles away, empty!" ”

Luo Chen's face suddenly froze, and a fine light bloomed in his eyes: "Empty? ”

"Or a hundred miles away?"

fell into contemplation like this, and only the breathing sound of the two was left in the entire study, and after a long time, Luo Chen got up suddenly: "I see!" ”

"Huh?"

There was a hint of surprise in Yelang's eyes, and he only heard Luo Chen say slowly: "Check this batch of grain, starting from the storage, all the guards will be on duty in the grain depot, including the grain in and out of the warehouse, give me a thorough investigation!" ”

"Yes!"

Watching Yelang leave in a hurry, Luo Chen's eyes had a hint of depth: "I didn't expect it!" ”

"No wonder you can't find food, if you haven't delivered food at all, how can you find it?"

Luo Chen got up directly and came to the host again with a few people.

A few people rode very slowly, and after forty or fifty miles, Luo Chen suddenly asked people to stop, slowly dismounted, and gently patted the ground with internal force, and suddenly the dirt flew, and there was nothing!

Luo Chen walked for a while again, and every other time, Luo Chen would stop and turn over the soil on the ground!

"It's fluffy here, and it should be freshly poured dirt!"

Luo Chen slapped again, only to see that a lot of hidden sacks were revealed under the soil!

A forbidden soldier pulled a sack out of the soil and stared: "Your Highness, this is a special sack for the government's grain transportation team, with the government's mark on it!" ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Luo Chen's mouth, "What a way to hide from the world!" ”

"No need to search! Let people take all these sacks back to the city! ”

……

Back in Qingyuan City, Luo Chen directly asked Lin Jue to come over, and asked lightly: "Lord Lin, I have to ask a few questions now, it is about grain and grass and your life, so you must think about it before you talk about it!" ”

"Yes!"

"On weekdays, who takes care of the grain depot?"

"It's the county Sicang, named Li Xun!"

"Where is this man now?"

"If Your Highness wants to see him, you can let him come over at any time!"

"Biography!"

Immediately, one person ran directly to Si Cang's home, Luo Chen sat in the study steadily, but there was always a bad premonition!
