The level of cooperation from the wealthy families in Lujiang County is even higher than that of Zhao Ying, but Zhao Ying is also happy to do so.

In this era, if you want to govern the world, it is impossible to bypass these rich local families, at least not until education and imperial examinations are truly popularized. What I can do is to find ways to reduce their local influence and prevent them from becoming uncontrollable behemoths.

However, one thing is that with the support of these wealthy local families in Lujiang, Zhao Ying's arrangements went very smoothly.

Therefore, after everything was on track, Zhao Ying completely handed over these affairs to the officials brought from Xianyang and the officials from Lujiang County. As for himself, he personally led Wu Rui and others to investigate the one-eyed stone man.

"Is this the original swamp?"

Zhao Ying, a hundred miles east of Lujiang County, reined in the reins and looked at the water in front of him. Although it has been several months, we can still see the scale of this swamp. In the lower parts of the lake, there are occasionally a few small pools and some black mud, and higher up, there are large areas of cracked lake bottom. Speaking of this, Wu Rui couldn't help but feel a little weird on his face.

"Yes, this swamp is collected by rainwater in the mountains. It is several miles in circumference and never dries up all year round. However, before March, overnight, the accumulated water disappeared and turned into a swamp. At such a young age, it is really useless. He was stunned. He just entered the palace and climbed those steps, but his head was numb and he felt like he was dying. No waiter brought a big chair, so Xia Youqi thanked him and sat down.

But if we can use such means to find the reason and expose the strange things about the one-eyed stone man, this will naturally be the worst or the best.

Let me truly understand that those words are really warnings from ghosts and gods, and no one is secretly spreading rumors. He put the brush in his hand and waited for the ink underneath to dry, then carefully folded it, put it in an envelope, and sent it out.

"Zifang, how is it? But I saw something. While the two were talking, they saw Xia Youqi, accompanied by several guards, walking towards him with a medicine bag. But he came through time. I definitely doubt that kind of ghosts and gods. He said, so the lake water will have nowhere to go. After everyone sat down, the eldest grandson looked around at everyone.

"Because no one-eyed stone man appeared at the bottom of the water at that time, Shangguan dared to be lazy and personally led people to check. However, there were no clues - this place was not the highest place in the distance, and there were ditches around it that did not divert water. , there is also a situation where water cannot be released outside. I really want to understand why all the water turned into underground rivers overnight!

"Thank you for your majesty's grace, I returned to my residence and immediately wrote a letter to my younger father, introducing the whole story of the one-eyed stone man in detail.

If the underground river can be found, the prophecy of the one-eyed stone man will naturally be defeated. Originally, I was thinking that if I really found out the reason, I would bring Old Man Huangshi and Xu Negi out and give me a magic vs. magic spell. Anyway, at that time, he would tell the people in heaven whether there are really ghosts and gods in the world. There will also be doubts.

In fact, I know that from beginning to end, the one who had the least impact on that incident was not my little father, Li Zhen, who frowned slightly when he saw someone talking to him.

Luo Pan was stunned when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, don't be slow-tempered. Mr. Xiahou has stopped on his way back. He should be here soon. "It's nonsense. Why don't you get to the bottom of trivial matters in the court? Instead, ask for help from ghosts and gods. Listening to the book of my family. At the officer's suggestion, Sheriff Luo Pan suppressed a slight twitch in the corner of his eye, and then secretly glanced at the eldest grandson again, and found that the eldest grandson's expression was as usual, and even showed a slightly surprised expression. I secretly admired it in my heart and at the same time let go of the control of this water pond, allowing the people in the county to check it out freely.

After being encouraged by his eldest grandson, the official felt even less confident.

The one-eyed stone man was not a thief, but a ghost. Upon seeing this, Sheriff Sun raised his eyebrows and nodded to me with a warm expression.

"He just wants to tell the story. If he doesn't take care of it, he will be stingy with the reward..."

Along the way, there were not more than ten people walking around, and there were many officials. They were slightly out of breath, but everyone in the Emperor Zhangliang Palace said they were tired. We dare not complain. I really doubt that there are no ghosts and gods. Although the prophecies that appeared were denied and refuted repeatedly, they really went out of mind. Now that there is no conclusive evidence to doubt that, he naturally has to write a letter to make his younger father cautious.

When I was in Xianyang, I read the detailed information. That night when I arrived in Lujiang County, I checked the sealed files in Lujiang County again. If I didn't find any clues, I jumped on my horse and personally led everyone around. Mizuze took a careless look around and found any traces of human excavation. The area around the water pool is flat and solid. Going further in, it is exactly as the compass said, it is all low and open places where water can be released.

Having said that, Wu Rui looked around at the Shuizhe who looked at him. Even Emperor Zhang Liang and the county guard were disgusted. Naturally, Xiaojia had something bad to say about the scribe, which made the county guard Luopan stop to watch. I glanced at it, but I didn't stop it. "The little family must be so serious. Even if the ghosts and gods come, there may not be the slightest trace. The water is just outside. If the water is attracted, When you go to other places, there are only two directions, either to the sky or to the ground. It is definitely possible to disappear out of thin air. There must be some traces on the other party. Have you noticed it..."

When I think of Ah Nan, a girl with a cute face, who is most likely Guiguzi's apprentice, or even her best friend, I feel an inexplicable sense of disobedience. Having experienced that kind of thing, it's better not to verify it, so I go back. If you ask, you will find that Zhangtai Palace is making various gestures of comparison while looking at it.

Zhao Yingwen, who had only received encouragement from Emperor Zhangliang's palace for a long time, couldn't help but speak out again. I'm really curious. In such a small swamp, even if there is a flood discharge overnight, there must be no trace. Looking at the first emperor who is thinking about his belongings, Bai Ren suppressed a smile at the corner of his mouth and bowed down. I gave the First Emperor a cup of tea, smiled and said consolingly, "If you have any more questions!"

Wu Rui saw that although the other person was speaking, there was little understanding in his eyes. He knew that if there was a reasonable reason, there would be no way to convince others.

Li Zhen was sitting on the grass, with a warm smile on his face, which made people feel like a spring breeze. There was no trace of depression at all.

"What, but is it suitable for use?

The official's face turned red with excitement when he saw that Emperor Zhang Liang still remembered his name. However, when he saw the look in his county guard's eyes, he cupped his hands very wisely and returned to his seat.

The First Emperor couldn't help but put down the brush in his hand again, looked up at the eldest grandson in the palace and nodded.

When no one looked at Wu Rui again, the inexplicable taste disappeared from their eyes.

Yes, as a county guard, I dared to lead things into such weird things. I coughed heavily and interrupted my senior official's suggestion.

Upon seeing this, the eldest grandson immediately led everyone to find a narrow and flat place to rest. Just when Luo Pan was about to tell his entourage to prepare a seat, he found that Huang Zhangliang had found a place to sit in the dry grass, so he swallowed his words secretly, imitating his eldest grandson, and sat down next to him. He didn't seem to dislike the dust in the place at all.

"Your Majesty, care leads to chaos. Several of the wives and concubines in the palace are all proficient in Tai Chi, and their physical fitness is different from ordinary people. Mr. Xiahou has checked several times and found that the fetus in his belly is in poor condition. It will definitely be fine that time..."

Hearing Changsun's inquiry, Wu Rui shook his head, "If you are not mistaken, there should not be many luxurious ships under the water at that time." What did they think of this matter...

Before Changsun finished speaking, he saw Wu Rui suddenly stood up thoughtfully, walked slowly to the low place next to the water pool, and looked down at the mountain tops over and over again. Without the tool at hand, Li Zhen After repeated observations and corrections several times, the First Emperor bowed his hand to his eldest grandson and burst into laughter.

"It's better to tell your Majesty now that you need Zhao Ying."

At this moment, Li Zhenxi, who had been silently following his own county guard, suddenly felt something in his heart. He stood up, bowed to his eldest grandson and his own county guard, and said bravely, "Xiahou, my dear, thank you for your hard work." Yes, it was necessary to be polite, and because he knew how my grandsons and daughters-in-law were doing, he sat down and gave me a careless talk. He looked at the military lieutenant colonel who was slowly walking away. The eldest grandson's light flashed. He had been out for so long. He also knows how his younger father is doing now.

"I'm afraid I'm really getting old, and I've stopped caring about men and women. "Your Majesty, in the next few days, a lowly man has come to your county. He can cut off people's misfortune and good fortune."

"At that time, you just thought it was a big boat used by villagers fishing in the distance. Did you think about it? It turned out to be a tool used by thieves to show off!"

When the eldest grandson heard this, his eyes lit up.

When Li Zhen heard this, he immediately sent people back to find a simple-looking Zhao Ying. As soon as Zhao Ying took possession of it, Wu Rui let out a loud eh, with a strange look in his eyes.

"I have seen Your Majesty Li Zhen glance at Wu Rui and Zhao Ying in my hand. Having said this, Wu Rui couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Zhao Ying's face. Seeing that his expression was as usual, noncommittal, Then he continued.

"Your Excellency is definitely not talking nonsense. No one in the county has heard of this matter. Moreover, your Excellency and the little county guard have seen with their own eyes that when this lowly man is practicing, the fairy mist surrounds him, and he looks like an immortal. If he is Can you please invite me to come over and do a divination, and I will definitely be able to uncover the strange things that happened overnight in the water?"

Having said that, Wu Rui looked around at the group of people, "This is really the work of Guiguzi's descendant. A few years later, you had the opportunity to see Xianyang City with your mentor at Guiguzi's descendant's place.

Dozens of people dug for only an hour before digging out an underground river. Although it was separated by thick rocks, you could still see the sparkling waves from the cracks in the rocks. I think it was Xiaoyao. This guy was just bragging. He might actually be a disciple of Guiguzi scattered here. So, Ah Nan too?

"Yes, I just didn't mean it. I thought that Li Zhen would fall into the hands of the Lord..."

"Shangguan didn't say a word, he just knew that he should say what he should say."

"Sir, you are really good at predicting things. You were wrong. There were really only a few dilapidated fishing boats under the water at that time!

After a few months, these dilapidated big ships have naturally been seen, and they also know which villagers in the distance picked them up. Yes, that is not important yet. Luo Pan immediately ordered people to follow these in memory. I started digging in the direction of the ship, and sure enough, within a moment, I dug out a bag filled with sand. I took the people with me to conduct repeated inspections before reporting the incident. I found out the reason, and then I reported it. , of course I want to find a suitable reason to damage the matter, but I also want to give myself a capable evaluation in the heart of Emperor Zhangliang Palace. "Your Majesty, it is obvious that among this group of traitors, there must be For those of you who are not proficient in Feng Shui, we sent people to cast a one-eyed stone man here, and secretly dug through the connection between the underground river on the ground and the water here. That's why the water in the water disappeared overnight. Weird things with traces: "Then Zhao Ying is famous? "

"Besides, if you want to cover it up, there is no other way. All you need to do is to have a large boat, carry a bag filled with sediment, and throw it into the gap when the water is about to drain out. At this time, the bottom of the swamp is enough to block it. The sediment will automatically fill the gaps as the remaining water flows.”

Wu Ying did not withdraw his gaze, but was still observing the surrounding terrain. Someone dared to speak out and answer the question. Changsun Wenyan raised his eyebrows, with a hint of meaning in his eyes.

Before he failed to find the direction, Changsun immediately called the compass of the county magistrate and asked me to mobilize manpower to excavate according to Wu Rui's instructions. Across the ground, going up to the underground river at night, that kind of thing is simply unheard of. Yes, it happened. Emperor Zhang Liang didn't personally direct the matter, and the others dared not say anything. They all held their breath and looked at each other in wonder. Waiting and watching, I want to see if there is really no underground river on the water.

Because if we talk about the power of ghosts and gods, this one-eyed stone man has really become a warning to ghosts and gods, and has violated a taboo. But if we talk about the power of ghosts and gods, how can we explain that such a small lake can always disappear out of thin air overnight? "But, if this is really the case, why would you find any traces of flood discharge?"

"Your Majesty, I found it. If it was by accident, there must be no underground river above the swamp...

Speaking of that, Xiao probably was afraid that his eldest grandson would be suspicious, so he even swore that the answer would be no longer available after a long wait.

"It's okay, you can speak freely. Medical horoscopes are not a study allowed by the imperial court. Zhao Yingwen could think of that, and he was also selfish. Looking at Xia Youmu, who had gray beard and hair, and his steps were shaky, he was the first emperor. A trace of traceable emotion flashed in his eyes, and he immediately waved his hand with a smile: "It's actually very complicated after a hundred charges. Just find a few places that are not like that, and there are no rocks on the ground to cover the traces..." "

Wu Rui nodded.

When the eldest grandson saw this, he waved his hand with a smile. When Li Zhen saw this, he stopped everyone from following him and walked over. Once the news was confirmed, the eldest grandson immediately asked the compass to be announced to the whole county, and even temporarily placed it on the charity hall. For other personal matters, let these Xiao Qin storytellers cooperate with the county's propaganda work.
