From Kowloon's Inheritance

Chapter 337
Whoa!
The dark clouds are just a gust of wind blowing, or whistling down, and the raindrops slant down, sweeping the sky and the earth.The originally bright world became dark with the heavy rain, as if entering dusk, as if it was going to be dark.

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

Crackling!

All of a sudden, Li Mu seemed to see something. He saw that the heavy rain was mixed with hailstones, which were also attacking, hitting the leaves, and smashing the leaves to pieces.Hitting the tiles also makes a terrifying sound, which is frightening.

As if thinking of something, Li Mu stopped worrying about the heavy rain and ran directly outside the city.

In the field, wheat is planted, and millet is still needed. It is June, which is a critical moment for growth, but a hailstorm comes, and a lot of wheat is beaten, and millet is also beaten.

Food harvest failure seems to have become a foregone conclusion.

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

Li Mu looked sad.

Not long ago, there was a shortage of granaries, but now there are hailstorms, resulting in poor harvests.

The reduction of three or five buckets per mu of land may seem 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 times of disaster, 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 the official warehouses and granaries are short-lived in harvest years, it's not a big problem. A calamity year, that is a devastating disaster, almost a fatal end!"

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

Originally thought that after Youzhou, the division would disintegrate, attract some civil servants, become pawns, and continue to charge... But now that there is a food shortage, I have no patience, continue to divide and disintegrate, and win over frustrated factions.

Get over the current difficulties before talking about other things. If you can't get over everything, don't talk about other things.

The interrogation is continuing. In Yin County, Ningbo, and Jinling, the confidantes who have been cultivated have arrived one after another to participate in the interrogation work and are involved in the investigation.

Officials were sent in batch after batch for interrogation day and night, but the result was that they were bought by the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce with the same caliber. As for how to operate, how to transport, manpower, etc., they were all unknown.In other words, it is precisely because I don’t know that I have lived until now.

Those who knew, were long dead.

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

Zhao Zhizhou knew something, but he died too.

Feng Wuji knew something, and died.

The rest is ignorance, because I don’t know, I’ve lived until now.

After continuous shooting, some small shrimps were still caught, and there was a lot of money, but what's the matter, money can't be eaten, food is the fundamental... Especially in a disaster year, even if you spend money, you can't buy food.

A little tired, Li Mu looked at the file.

In order to get clues, the mouths of those corrupt officials were pried open and all kinds of torture were used, but no useful information was obtained.

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

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

"My 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, "As expected, you are not dead!"

"It's me!" Zhao Tianmu showed surprise and said, "How did you find out?"

Li Mu said: "Open the coffin for an autopsy, and found that the corpse is fake!"

Zhao Tianmu said: "The one who died was me as a substitute... I am not only a magistrate, but also a great master."

As he said that, the aura on his body flickered, like mountains and seas, and the terrifying aura emanating out was the great master's consummation.

Li Mu was slightly surprised that the former magistrate of Youzhou turned out to be a grand master.

Great masters, no matter where they are high-level, many civil servants are mostly innate, masters, etc., only a few are great masters.And in the information, Zhao Tianmu is only a grandmaster, but now he is a great grandmaster, obviously hiding his strength.

"I am the magistrate of Youzhou. I had a good reputation in the Jianghu back then. I just entered the court as an official to avoid some enemies. That day, I was practicing in a secret room, and my substitute was outside to handle some official duties for me. But when I appeared , the substitute is dead!"

"So, I feigned death and escaped!"

Zhao Tianmu said some secrets.

"Why didn'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 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 is very possible!
"Why did you find me?" Li Mu said.

"Because my wife and son are in danger, I can't do anything... I can only ask Lord Hou to do it!" Zhao Tianmu said, "Compared to the emperor, I trust Lord Hou because he still has a conscience. The heart is not too dark!"

"Okay, I can make a move!"

Li Mu said: "But you also have to give me a reason to take action. What happened in Youzhou? Why were you assassinated? What happened?"

Zhao Tianmu was silent, and after a long time said: "The Excalibur King wants to rebel!"

"Why?" Li Mu said: "The Excalibur King is so high and powerful that it is almost the limit of a person's minister. What good is there to oppose him!"

"I do not know either!"

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 have no evidence of the rebellion of the Sword King, but I just have some guesses by chance. At that time, a Yuantu intelligence base, found some letters in it!"

As he said that, Zhao Tianmu wrote a letter.

Li Mu took it over, the envelope had already been opened, and he began to flip through it.

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

"Third brother, my boss wants to resign, what do you think!"

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

"Third brother, little sister is getting married this year!"

When I opened these letters, they were all family members, and they were all talking about trivial matters in life, nothing important.

"Let's take a look at this, too. This is the letter left by Wan Jianchen, a close friend of the Excalibur King, when he communicated with me!" Zhao Tianmu took out another letter.

Comparing the two pictures, the text on the letter is similar.

"According to my investigation, Wan Jianchen's old mother died a long time ago, and there is no third brother or younger sister in the family. There are only two older sisters, who are also married!" Zhao Tianmu said, "I guess, these letters say that the trivial things in life represent some signal!"

PS: The third update continues to codewords, and will be updated at night.
