Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 1175: All sects of the Taoist sect return to their hearts for the first time, and follow the orders of the Dazheng!

"The dragon mother-in-law confessed!"

When Lu Bing excitedly came to tell the good news, Li Yan also smiled slightly: "She made the right choice, where is it?"

Lu Bing handed over the confession, and briefly summarized: "In a dilapidated dragon palace, the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum was planted in it at first, and then it grew into wisdom. Every year, it will move in a certain section of Cao Hanoi. When the dragon mother-in-law wants to see it, Also ask out in a specific way."

"Is the wisdom born like a three-year-old child?"

Li Yan looked at the confession carefully, and was a little dignified: "This ganoderma lucidum is something from the fairy family. It is really impossible to store it in the water at will, otherwise it will appear abnormal. I thought it was a divine prohibition, but I didn't expect it to be parasitic in the past. Jianghe Dragon Palace is in trouble."

In view of the ginseng doll that brought him a lot of shadows, Lu Bing felt that this kind of flowers and plants that gave birth to wisdom during the filthy period of the world were not kind: "Yes, now this Ganoderma lucidum is protected by the Dragon Palace, even if the dragon mother-in-law Confess it, but also guard against its own thoughts of revenge and release the power of filth!"

Li Yan nodded: "The more we get to this time, the more we can't fall short, we have to take everything into consideration..."

Lu Bing said in a deep voice: "I have just notified the Governor of Water Transport, and I will choose the elite to cooperate, and I must take this thing down!"

As early as when it was determined that Princess Wansheng was threatening the canal, Jin Yiwei urgently mobilized the Thirteenth Taibao from various places to guard various parts of the canal to conduct search and investigation, and now it is even more targeted.

Li Yan made arrangements for the various sects of the Taoist sect, and was ready to act immediately: "It's not too late, let's go, and the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass was harvested a moment earlier, and the moment I felt at ease."

Lu Bing said sincerely: "This time, it is fortunate that Mr. took action to solve the serious trouble, stabilize the country, and return my Ming Dynasty to a peaceful country!"

Thinking of the poor real dragon spirit, Li Yan shook his head secretly.

It's a pity that the Jiajing Dynasty had so many great talents in civil and military affairs, and even the secret service agency like Jinyiwei had an outlier like Lu Bing, but it was still difficult to restore the state's declining state.

Millennium...

Just thinking about this entanglement between the secular world and mythology, just after leaving the imperial prison, I saw Lu Fang, wearing a winter hat with warm ears and a white fox cloak, walking out of the sedan chair: "Our family came by coincidence, what are you two? "

Lu Bingdao: "Dragon Mother told me, we are going to get rid of the disaster of the canal!"

"Oh, that's a great thing!"

Lu Fang raised her brows with joy, and she was also sincerely happy, but she moved closer, put on a solemn and respectful face, and said in a low voice: "It's just what the thief said before, Long Live Lord is very caring, and I still want to ask Just trust me."

Lu Bing's heart sank, but Li Yan had expected it.

Jiajing was not an orthodox crown prince at first. He belonged to the pie in the sky. Of course, he valued the spirit of the real dragon more, that is, he and his milk brother Lu Bing, who wore red flowers for him, were the ones in charge of the interrogation. Dongchang under the jurisdiction of the Rites.

Only giving the dragon mother a one-day time limit, knowing that Jiajing will not be patient in this matter, she can respond now: "Please tell your majesty, Eunuch Lu, that when the criminal is executed, the spirit of the real dragon will return."

Lu Bing breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Fang pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "That's kind!"

If this person takes out the real dragon's energy from the body of the dragon mother-in-law and then transfers it to Jiajing, with his suspicious character, he will definitely doubt whether some of it will be retained during the process, and when he loses his temper, the people around him will live forever. It's not easy, and the way it is handled now is more suitable.

After Lu Fang returned to the palace in a hurry to return to his order, the two got on their horses and led the elite guards in brocade clothes to the port to meet the Governor of Water Transport.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the Ming Dynasty was inherited from the Yuan Dynasty, but the amount of grain it passes through every year is nearly ten times that of the Yuan Dynasty. The dredging and repair of the canal, and the person in charge of these projects is the Governor of Water Transport.

When Li Yan and Lu Bing arrived at the pier with a group of elites, they saw that a group of people had already arrived in the cold winter wind, and the leader was a tall and thin old man who greeted him: "Captain Lu! Daoist Li!"

The two returned the salute: "Ouyang Shangshu!"

To be the Governor of Water Transport requires comprehensive talents. Those who held this position in Ming Dynasty have basically gained a good career and reputation. Now, Ouyang Bijin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is the specially appointed Governor of Water Transport and also in charge of coastal defense.

He also has another identity, he is the younger brother of Yan Song's wife Ouyang, and the uncle of Yan Shifan, who belongs to the mainstay of the Yan Party.

There is no doubt that this is a related household.

In the process of bringing down Tao Zhongwen, needless to say, Li Yan, Lu Bing also made great contributions, and Lu Fang participated in arresting the dragon mother-in-law and uncovering hidden dangers in the big family. Only Yan Song has never had the opportunity to intervene and was excluded.

The strict party has always been the one to grab credit, when will they be sidelined?

With Li Yan's reminder, coupled with his understanding of Yan Shifan's personality, Lu Bing was on guard, and he found a lot of small moves, but before warning, the other party stopped on his own initiative.

Lu Bing also didn't want to have a bad relationship with Yan's father and son, who were in full swing. Since the other party took a step back, he reciprocated and asked Ouyang Bijin to participate. Sure enough, Jiajing had this intention a long time ago.

However, Ouyang Bijin is not useless. On the contrary, he has outstanding ability, prudence and maturity. He even invented the human-powered land farming machine when he governed the local area.

At this moment, seeing the waters in the confession, he suddenly exclaimed: "Either the thief is swimming in Datong River, Baicao and Weicao? Or is he entrenched in Huitong River?"

During Zhu Yuanzhang’s founding period, Jinling was the capital of the country, and taxes from all directions were transported through the Yangtze River. The natural water system was very convenient to use, and the water transport was not developed. The governance of the canal was only limited to a few local rivers.

The national canal regulation started in the period of Zhu Di. It started from Datong Bridge in the north and went to Hangzhou in the south, with a total length of more than [-] miles. It is composed of Jiangcao and Zhejiang Cao, and is generally called Caohe.

These are official titles, and they are still used as local names when they go to various places, which are popular and easy to remember.

For example, the source of the Datong River is the confluence of various springs in the deep mountains of Changping, flows through the capital, then flows through the Datong Bridge, flows eastward to Tongzhou, and finally flows into the Baihe River. In the local population, it is also called "Beijing Port".

Baicao, also known as Baihe River, was called Tongzhou Yunliang River in Yuan Dynasty, flowing from Tongzhou to the south, and finally flowed into Weicao in Tianjin.

Wei Cao is Wei River, which was called Yu River in Yuan Dynasty, flowing from Tianjin to the south.

The reason for Ouyang Bijin's loss of color is because of this, the scope of the Nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass's activities is too close to the capital, and it is almost under the nose.

This is what Luang Po intended.

Far away, even if the filth erupts and the towns along the way suffer catastrophe, it is still a cold number. Local officials cannot afford [-] deaths, [-] deaths, or even a million corpses, and the dignitaries of the capital will not see them. You have to really care about it. Only by making the capital feel the pain, can it have the strongest deterrence.

Ouyang Bijin was very nervous: "These three sections of the river must not be messed up, otherwise, the entire capital will suffer!"

Lu Bingdao: "Needless to say the importance of the capital, so what about being connected to the river?"

Ouyang Bijin said sadly: "It's actually more important there, it's the ridge between the north and the south...you two come with me!"

Followed the governor of water transportation on board the big ship, and after entering the cabin, he saw a map spread out, on which were the various sections of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Labeled in great detail.

Li Yan nodded secretly.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it was very difficult in many aspects, so the lucky river was the foundation of people's livelihood, and it was managed well. In the "River Defense Overview" in the Wanli period, it was said, "There is no difficulty in governing the river, nor is it good at our dynasty." Use the work of river regulation to reap the benefits of water transportation."

And Ouyang Bijin's fingers crossed the middle of the canal: "This will lead to the river. It was rebuilt in the ninth year of Yongle. The previous river was narrow and shallow, and large ships could not pass. In the 24th year of Hongwu, the Yellow River burst again and was blocked by silt. , can only be excavated again and repaired again.”

"In order to build this section of the river, more than 100 people were requisitioned, and it took four years to complete. More than [-] gates were built, and more than [-] gates for stagnant water, water intake, and level water were set up, and [-] gates were built. The dikes keep the river from leaking out."

"Among them, in order to divert water, the north and south dam gates built on the river bed are the most important to control the amount of water. The south flows three points, the south meets Surabaya, the north flows seven points, and flows into Yuhe. Jiangnan'..."

Lu Bing's face was ugly: "If the Ganoderma lucidum breaks out here, it is equivalent to cutting off the canal in half? The consequences are disastrous!"

Li Yan asked, "Since the Huitong River was excavated manually, how deep is it?"

Ouyang Bijin was not sure about this. After asking the officials of the water transport, he gave an answer: "At first, it was one foot three feet deep and three feet two feet wide. There has not been much repair in this dynasty, and the silt has accumulated. I am afraid it will be a little shallower. However, ships with a load of [-] hu can still travel freely."

Li Yandao: "It's too shallow. The Dragon Palace in the river is no bigger than the Four Seas Dragon Palace, but it is also difficult to pass through such a shallow river, unless the Nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum leaves the Dragon Palace on its own initiative, or uses methods similar to mustard seeds... "

Lu Bing cheered up: "So Huitong River is the ridge between the north and the south. Although it is the most destructive to the canal, the Ganoderma lucidum is most likely to wander in the river section close to the capital?"

Ouyang Bijin frowned: "What if it's not..."

Li Yandao: "For a goal that is spiritual but not too high in intelligence, we can only assume that it is in our comfort zone, and then focus on it. Otherwise, we will definitely startle the snake by searching one by one, and the consequences will be more serious."

Ouyang Bijin admired his courage to take responsibility. He moved his gaze upwards and landed on the Datong River, Baicao and Weicao: "It would be easy to determine the location by depth. There are not many river sections that can accommodate the Dragon Palace." .”

Lu Bingdao: "We still have the secret method explained by Luang Po, which can lure the Ganoderma lucidum out. As long as it floats to the surface, everything will be easy to handle."

Li Yandao: "This kind of spiritual creature is extremely sensitive. It is still necessary to prepare the battle equipment. Before the battle, we must select a few sections of the river that can be discarded. If it is difficult to take the Dragon Palace directly, we must force it into there and send it to the river. Pollution is reduced to the extreme."

Lu Bing looked at Ouyang Bijin, and Ouyang Bijin gritted his teeth: "Okay! I'll choose!"

The big ship sailed out of the wharf and officially entered the Datong River. The water transport officials in the cabin got busy, and Jin Yiwei cooperated with the mobilization of troops from the surrounding towns. In case of a flood, they must organize the transfer of the people.

Li Yan came to the deck: "Come down!"

Streams of light fell in mid-air, which belonged to various sects of the Taoist sect.

The Taoist priests who were optimistic about Chaotian Palace and God naturally arrived without hesitation, Zhang Xuanqing, Lan Daoxing and Gray also appeared together, and the old Taoist priests who had not appeared before also appeared, Jishou saluted: "Master! "

Li Yan returned the gift: "Fellow fellows, the target of the arrest this time is the Nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass, which was originally a heavenly spirit grass, but was stolen into the world, and now it has given birth to spirituality, and has stolen a dragon palace in the river..."

"This object was designed by Tao Zhongwen. It has accumulated a lot of filth in its body. Once it is poured into the water and polluted the canal, the impact will be unpredictable and the disaster will be endless. We must stop it!"

The group of Taoists were called to come, but they didn't know what exactly happened. Only then did they realize the seriousness of the situation, and their expressions became serious.

And Li Yan looked around: "Investigate the river section and organize the evacuation. Jin Yiwei and Cao Si are in charge. To break through the Dragon Palace and capture the spirit grass, I need everyone to help me!"

Chong Xuzi and Tan Yangzi looked at each other, but didn't respond immediately.

When the two factions went to sea, they once arranged the divine prohibition, broke into the Dragon Palace, and finally played a big role in strangling the Japanese practitioners.

But the West Sea Dragon Palace was empty, and the Dragon Clan had evacuated long ago. What they were facing was actually a relic, but now it has become an owner's thing. It is far more difficult than before to take into account the surrounding environment.

The other Taoist priests were also quiet, but in the middle of the road, Zhang Xuanqing only experienced a moment of hesitation before making up his mind, flipped his palm, and took out the treasure seal: "The poor Taoist is not talented, and the elders in the family bestowed the 'Yangping Zhidu Merit Seal', Able to enslave ghosts and gods, but suppress this thing!"

As soon as this treasure came out, everyone looked sideways, and many old Taoists were even more shocked.

There are two inherited treasures personally bestowed by Zhang Daoling in Longhu Mountain, the "Three-Five Slaying Evil Male and Female Sword" and the "Yangping Zhidu Merit Seal". Yindu took back the heaven, leaving only Yangpingzhi, and stamping this seal on the talisman will produce great power.

It was extremely difficult for the heavenly masters in the past to use such a treasure, but now they take the initiative to help them, the attitude is really surprising.

But thinking of the talisman bestowed by this person, it can really make those seniors trapped in the Nine Tribulations fall into a deep sleep, waiting for a turning point in the future, and they can understand Longhushan's choice...

"it is good!"

Li Yan nodded slightly towards Zhang Xuanqing, and then said seriously to the crowd: "All factions work together, we will be able to calm the big trouble, live up to the imperial court's worship, and the people will believe in it!"

The spirits of the Taoists were revived, and they responded in unison: "I would like to obey the orders of the Great Daoist!"
