Chapter 31
Inside the county government office, Li Ji and Zhou Chang are still in the study and have just had dinner.

At first, he was a little worried that Xiao Mo would send all the food from Fengping warehouse to the three towns, but Zhou Chang's words made Li Ji let go of his burden.

Zhou Chang's words are: "The survival of Shen County, and the life and death of the entire county's people, I'm afraid they all depend on this son!"

Zhou Chang was talking about Xiao Mo. Although he only met Xiao Mo today, Zhou Chang had seen Xiao Mo's conversation and talents. Whether it was the conversation with Li Ji or the detailed plan, Xiao Mo His performance also attracted Zhou Chang's attention.

It's hard to imagine that such a young man should have been studying hard at home, but Xiao Mo has been able to apply what he has learned, using the knowledge he has learned to treat the common people, and Zhou Chang's words are very important to Xiao Mo. Mo's strength is also very high.

Zhou Chang opened his mouth, and Li Ji finally made up his mind. Didn't there be a saying, "You don't have to use someone who is suspicious"?After Li Ji figured it out, he felt much better.

Since Xiao Mo has agreed to serve as the Shaofu of Shen County, let him worry about money and food!

After the two of them had dinner, they heard Qin Ye's voice begging to see him outside. With Qin Ye, was Zhao Guanying.

When Zhao Guanying saw Li Ji and Zhou Chang, she saluted.

Seeing Zhao Guanying in official uniform, Li Ji frowned and asked, "Is Ziheng home?"

Zhao Guanying nodded, and then said to Li Ji: "My lord, Xiao Sihu found a place where the evil spirits of the White Lotus Sect gather. Let the villain come here to ask your lord for instructions. I hope that Yan Butou can lead the brothers to catch them!"

Li Ji and Zhou Chang looked at each other, and couldn't help becoming more cautious. Li Ji asked, "Is this really the case? How did Ziheng discover the evildoer of the White Lotus Sect?"

Zhao Guanying then told the story of meeting Yang Yanqi and being followed today with Xiao Mo. Of course, Zhao Guanying didn't know Yang Yanqi's real name, and just like Xiao Mo, she called her Bamei Yang!
Zhou Chang and Li Ji didn't care much about one of Xiao Mo's maids. After confirming that Niu Fu was a member of the White Lotus Sect, Li Ji asked Qin Ye to call Yan Shiba quickly.

After Yan Shiba came to the study, Li Ji explained to Yan Shiba, let him go to Xiao Mo, and then obey Xiao Mo's instructions. Finally, Li Ji said to Zhao Guanying: "Xiao Sihu's safety is very important. It is related to the life and death of this county, since he is going to catch the evildoer himself, you have to protect him thoroughly, if anything goes wrong, I will only ask you!"

Seeing that Li Ji attached so much importance to Xiao Mo, Yan Shiba secretly paid attention to it, and then together with Zhao Guanying, ordered a group of arresters and hurried to Xiao Mo's home.

When we arrived at Xiao Zhai, we saw Xiao Mo, Zhou Kui and Yang Bamei had been waiting at the door for a long time.

After meeting Yan Shiba, Xiao Mo introduced Yang Bamei to him, and then said: "Captain Yan, tonight's matter is of great importance, and there is no room for loss. This is my maidservant, who has a little knowledge of martial arts. These White Lotus Sect evildoers , she discovered it, so this time I have to take her with me."

Hearing that the thin woman in front of her could actually know martial arts, Yan Shiba clasped her fists at Bamei Yang and said hello, and then they all headed towards the east of the city under the leadership of Yang Yanqi.

Willow Alley in the east of the city is an alley near the city gate of Shen County. It is called Willow Alley, but there are no willow trees.

It was just nightfall, and the streets in the east of Shen County were already pitch black. This is where the poor people in Shen County live together, so they don't want to be brightly lit like in the south of the city!

After entering Willow Lane, Xiao Mo and the others came directly to the house Yang Yanqi was pointing at. It was an ordinary courtyard, it looked a bit dilapidated, and there was a big hole in the door!
After seeing the hole in the door, Xiao Mo's expression changed, and he said to Yan Shiba: "Catcher Yan, let the brothers break the door open!"

When Yan Shiba heard this, he nodded quickly to the arresters behind him, and those arresters rushed to the door, and then smashed the door open.

After the door opened, the policeman also drew his sword and entered the courtyard with the weapon in his hand. Unexpectedly, the courtyard was completely silent!
Seeing this, Yan Shiba shouted to the arresters, "Search!"

The policemen entered the house and searched one after another. After a while, the policemen said, "No one..."

Sure enough, Xiao Mo exhaled heavily. Ever since he found the big hole in the door, Xiao Mo knew that this time, he was afraid that he would fail.

These people are obviously desperadoes who have been wanted by the government. They have been hunted down by the government for a long time, so they have a kind of vigilance. They probably smashed the big hole on the door deliberately, so that they can see the situation in the alley. , as soon as you see a policeman or something is wrong, run away!

Now that they were all in vain, there was no point in staying here any longer, but a search was still necessary.

Zhou Kui pushed Xiao Mo into the house, and saw a portrait of a white lotus hanging above the hall, it seemed that the disciples of the White Lotus Sect were in a hurry and had no time to remove the portrait.

Xiao Mo pointed to the portrait, and then said to Yan Shiba: "Yan Butou, please take this thing down and send it to your lord!"

Yan Shiba nodded, only then did Xiao Mo realize that there were some ashes beside his wheelchair.

It looked like it was just burnt paper, Xiao Mo saw it, and said to Zhou Kui: "Brother Zhou, please pick up these ashes and put them under the lamp, be careful, don't break the ashes!"

There are also some ancient papers of good quality, and the ink stains on them can still be seen after being burned.Following Xiao Mo's words, Zhou Kui scraped a large piece of ashes onto the table with a piece of wood, and then brought Xiao Mo a lamp.

With the help of the light, Xiao Mo looked at the hard-to-recognize ink marks. The quality of the paper seemed not very good, and he couldn't see it clearly under the light. He seemed to see the word 'Zhou Shang' vaguely, which seemed to be a person's name. .

Who is Zhou Shang?Xiao Mo thought for a while, and found that he didn't have this name in his memory, so he knew he didn't know this person, so he had to leave with the policemen.

But before leaving, Yan Shiba took out the seal and pasted it on the gate of the courtyard.

After returning to the county yamen, Xiao Mo asked Yang Yanqi to wait at the gate of the yamen, and then went to the west wing.

Xiao Mo came this time to find Lin Yiye. Seeing Xiao Mo came to him so late, Lin Yiye said excitedly: "Zi Heng, your abacus formula today is really wonderful..."

Lin Yiye was still full of praise for the abacus formula taught by Xiao Mo in the morning, but Xiao Mo didn't have the time to chat with Lin Yiye, so he said directly: "Liang An, you are lucky tonight, go to Huce Help me check someone, Zhou Shang, you remember, you must find out tonight, and I will have the result tomorrow morning!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Mo left Lin Yiye's room and went to the backyard.

After discovering the members of the White Lotus Sect, Li Ji and Zhou Chang also attached great importance to it, so they simply waited for news in the garden of the backyard. After meeting Xiao Mo, Li Ji said: "Ziheng, those thieves have escaped, what should we do next?" manage?"

It seems that Li Ji already knew about the rush tonight from Yan Shiba, so Li Ji asked Xiao Mo directly. , but it doesn’t matter, if the members of the White Lotus Sect leave like this, we will be at ease, if they still give up and want to burn Fengping’s warehouse, it will be a little troublesome!”

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Li Ji was also a little anxious, and said to Zhou Chang next to him, "Bo Yuan, can't we send troops here?"

It seems that Li Ji still has hope for Zhou Chang, hoping that he will send troops to Shen County, but Zhou Chang just glanced at Xiao Mo, and then said leisurely: "Knowing the government is at ease, this official treats Xiao Sihu very much." Be confident, this time, there must be a way to make those thieves come to nothing!"

After all, Zhou Chang asked Xiao Mo: "Xiao Sihu, do you think so?"

It seems that Zhou Chang has already guessed Xiao Mo's next plan, so Xiao Mo nodded and said, "That's right, since the Bailian Sect thieves want to burn the grain in Fengping's warehouse, then we can use this to set up a trap , Let them drill, but to be on the safe side, the grain in the Fengping warehouse must be transferred first, which is why I asked Du Shaofu to open the warehouse today!"

Li Ji asked: "Ziheng, but you want to transport the three thousand shi grains to the three towns?"

Xiao Mo nodded and said: "The drought in Tongshan Town is relatively mild, but it needs [-] shi of grain to survive the summer harvest, while Qiao'an Town is more serious, but [-] shi is enough. Mining iron ore and building windmills requires a lot of manpower, so [-] stones are needed, which adds up to exactly [-] stones. After the handover with Du Shaofu tomorrow, the food will be divided into three batches by the City Supervisor at night. , transported to the three towns respectively, so that the Fengping warehouse will be safe!"

Without food, of course, people from the White Lotus Sect would come and burn the barn. Of course Li Ji knew this truth.

However, Xiao Mo distributed all the food to the three towns, so what will the people in Shen County do during the summer harvest?
 A good show will be staged soon, everyone look forward to it!
