C234 Four Confidential Letters

"Are you all right?"

Xiao Lee, who was waiting at the back, was startled when she saw this scene. She quickly went forward and asked.

At the same time, she opened her hands. Rays of emerald green light emerged from her palms and turned into a light screen that enveloped Chu Yun and Fu Qingyun.

Under the effect of this light screen, the injuries that Chu Yun and Fu Qingyun suffered instantly slowed down. The impact of the explosion wasn't very strong. It just happened to explode in the cave, and with the help of the tunnel, it formed a relatively strong shock wave. After Xiao Lee's healing, the two of them were no longer seriously injured.

Chu Yun frowned and looked at the cave in front of him. After the explosion just now, the cave had completely collapsed, and even the mountain above had collapsed.

"They knew we would come!"

Fu Qingyun gritted her teeth and said.

The scene in front of her was not normal. The mastermind must have noticed something.

Chu Yun did not hesitate. He held the Dragon Ancient Sword in his hand and slashed at the cave in front of him a few times. It was not to hurt people, but to clear the path.

Under his sword light, the rocks that were piled up in the cave were all cut into powder. The original outline of the cave could barely be seen.

Fu Qingyun and Xiao Lee followed Chu Yun's figure and explored the cave together.

No matter what happened, they had to enter the cave to find out.

At this moment, there was no longer any signs of living people in the collapsed cave. Actually, it made sense. Such a strong explosion happened in such a narrow cave. When the power of the explosion was concentrated in one place, the power would increase exponentially.

Even a Nirvana Stage warrior might not be able to survive in the center of such an intense explosion.

The three of them walked into the cave in a line and entered the cave one after another. In their eyes, there was nothing other than gravel and gravel.

After exploring for a distance, Chu Yun finally found something.

Some tools used to make medicine appeared in front of them. Although they had all been blown to pieces and were in tatters, they could still vaguely recognize the uses of these things.

Fu Qingyun walked forward and picked up these tools one by one.

Xiao Lee who was at the side took a look and said, "The remaining plant ingredients inside are very toxic and are the raw materials that pollute the water source. "

"As expected. "

Fu Qingyun's face was filled with coldness.

Chu Yun looked at the empty cave and the broken pieces of equipment scattered all over the place. He slowly sighed and said, "If I'm not wrong, there is a special sensing Formation at the entrance of the cave. As long as someone enters the cave, the sensing Formation will trigger and cause an explosion inside the cave.

This is an extreme defense. It can ensure that anyone who doesn't know about this sensing Formation won't be able to get anything even if they enter the cave. "

"But didn't Miss Xiao Lee just say that there are still people in the cave?"

Fu Qingyun asked, "In such a short period of time, the person in the cave will definitely not be able to react in time. If they set up such a Formation, wouldn't it make their own people die in this explosion at any time? This doesn't make sense. "

"Sigh!"

Chu Yun sighed and said with a bitter smile, "Perhaps in the eyes of our enemies, protecting the secrets in the cave is more important than the lives of the people who do things. What we think is common sense and the lives of our own people are just a bunch of cold numbers in their eyes. They are just benefits. "

To be honest, Chu Yun really felt that it was a pity at this moment.

Because the third stage of the mission pointed to the cave, but the clue was cut off with an explosion. The mastermind had self-destructed in this cave. It would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to investigate.

The crafty and fierce mastermind had far exceeded their imagination. His cautiousness was somewhat illogical. At the most unexpected moment, he could decisively cut off his wrist.

He was ruthless to others. Ruthless towards his own people. . .

Ruthless!

Fu Qingyun's expression was also very ugly.

After this explosion, they had already lost all traces of the mastermind. The only clues they still had were those three portraits. However, the sea of people was vast. What use were the three portraits?

In this world, there was no lack of methods to change one's appearance. Regardless of whether it was the disguising technique or the transformation technique, as long as one wore an ordinary mask, they would be able to hide the three of them in the sea of people.

Fu Qingyun continued to explore for a distance and seemed to be somewhat unwilling.

But even after she dug through the entire cave and reached the end of the cave, she still did not discover anything.

The only thing worth mentioning was that near the depths of the cave, there was a trace of blood on the mountain wall. Although it was very difficult to detect, it was still able to confirm that it was the smell of human blood.

It was very obvious that when the explosion happened, the person in the cave was standing at this position. He was directly blasted to pieces, and there was not even a corpse left. The only thing left was the trace of blood on the mountain wall.

"Let's go. . . "

Chu Yun sighed slowly and looked at Fu Qingyun. He said, "After this man died, the mastermind must have known about it. We have found traces of them.

After you return, you can report this matter to the Prefecture Master and let him and the entire Imperial Court know that there is such a group of evil people with ulterior motives in Daming Mansion.

I have a very strong premonition.

These antihumans must be brewing some kind of great conspiracy, perhaps it isn't just targeting the Cangnan Domain. Perhaps, the entire Daming Mansion and even the entire Celestial Secret Dynasty are within their hunting target. "

Fu Qingyun took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I understand. Now that things have come to this point, there is no need to hide anymore. I will get someone to issue an arrest warrant to search for the whereabouts of those three fellows in the entire Celestial Secret Dynasty. "

. . .

It had only been seven to eight days since the beginning of the chaos of the Flood Dragon.

In these eight days, Fu Qingyun had sent a total of four secret letters to Jinxia City.

The first letter explained the situation of the demons in Luori River. The reply from Unitive Controlling Mansion was for the local government to take care of themselves. The next night, Xu Binglei asked Chu Yun to come to Cangnan Domain.

The second letter was from Fu Qingyun and Chu Yun. After killing the Flood Dragon, Fu Qingyun told the Prefecture Master that the threat of the Flood Dragon had been resolved and the flood in the Firmament Jade had been controlled. It was a good news.

The third letter and the second letter were less than a day apart.

Fu Qingyun explained in the secret letter that the water vein in Cangnan Domain had been polluted on a large scale. She requested the Prefecture Master to call the doctors in the Jinxia City to come to Cangnan Domain to save the people.

The fourth secret letter was sent by Fu Qingyun, Chu Yun and Xiao Lee after they returned to the Cangnan Giant City. It was just sent out and explained the current situation in the Cangnan Domain in detail.

The threat of the flood had faded, and the contamination of the water source had been controlled.

There were only two things that needed to be taken care of.

The first was the information regarding the mastermind. Fu Qingyun had gathered all the information she had, including what had happened in the cave, and then sent it to Manor Master Zheng Tianyang.

In the letter, Fu Qingyun used the most solemn attitude to explain the threat of these people to the Prefecture Master. Whether it was controlling the flood dragon to cause a flood or polluting the water source, it was an extremely insane crime. If they didn't get rid of them, something even worse would happen in the future.

And this second matter was even more important. That was. . .

Lack of food.

After the spread of the flood, although the flood had receded, the people of Cangnan Domain had fallen into an awkward situation of hunger and cold.

Before the harvest of this year had even come up, the food had already been flooded by the flood. Now, the entire Cangnan Domain was in shortage of food, and it was already a foregone conclusion.

In the past, if a disaster of this level was reported, the Imperial Court would allocate funds for it.

However, because the journey was long, it would take time for the news to come and go. On the other hand, the people of Cangnan Domain needed food to fill their stomachs at all times, or else there would be the risk of starving to death.

Therefore, Fu Qingyun had no choice but to speak to Jinxia City first and let Manor Master Zheng Tianyang manage the people of Cangnan Domain.

When the fourth secret letter was sent to the Jinxia City, the officials in the Unitive Controlling Mansion were still arguing about the first three secret letters.

As one of the territories of the Daming Mansion, it was impossible for the Jinxia City to ignore such a disaster. It was unreasonable.

However, regardless of whether it was killing the Flood Dragon or inviting a famous doctor to the Cangnan Domain to treat a patient, it would be a huge investment without any benefits. In fact, the important figures of the Jinxia City were unwilling to get involved in this matter.

However, the situation in the fourth secret letter was different.

The troublesome matters had already been resolved. Although the existence of the most troublesome ones was frightening, it was a good thing that their various schemes had already been broken through. No one knew when they would appear again next time.

There were all kinds of strange things in the world. There would always be a few such lunatics appearing every once in a while. For the big shots in Jinxia City, as long as they didn't go crazy, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Although the lack of food seemed like a money-losing business, it was actually the opposite.

To the upper class of this world, it was not necessarily a good thing for the poor to live well. However, it was definitely not a bad thing for the poor to be caught in a disaster.

The civilians who could only survive on the food and clothing line had a house and a piece of land in their home. Even if they were well-off and self-sufficient, the upper class would not be able to squeeze anything from them.

And once a disaster occurred, these civilians would not be able to eat their fill. Naturally, they would sell their property and land, and even sell themselves to the families of the nobles in exchange for food for survival.

Although Cangnan Domain was short of food, it was not short of money.

Whether it was the farmland houses in Cangnan Domain, or even the civilians themselves, in the eyes of many powerful people, they were all valuable goods.

They only needed to raise the price of food, and they would be able to make a lot of money from it. They could use that insignificant amount of food to exchange for farmland, property, and even the opportunity to sell themselves as slaves to serve them.

All of a sudden, all the major chambers of commerce and families in Jinxia City acted upon hearing the news.

Some people had already heard the news and had been secretly storing grain. When they heard the news that Cangnan Domain had been pacified, they immediately rushed over with a large amount of grain.

Of course, they weren't there to help the disaster victims.

Instead, they were using the food in their hands to raise the price of food, forcing the disaster victims to have no way out, forcing them to sell their properties, forcing them to sell themselves as slaves.

If they were in a world without martial arts, it would be very risky for them to do so. When a man was angry, blood would splash three feet. Overly bullying would easily raise the anger of the people, and even create chaos in the army, bringing about an uprising.

However, in a world with martial arts, the strong ate everything. The weak had nothing. Even if a hundred thousand disaster victims were tied together, they were still not a match for a powerful martial artist.

Therefore, when the influential families squeezed them, they usually did not have any scruples. They were afraid that they were too soft-hearted and did not earn enough.

Of course. . .

In such an incident, the officials did not do nothing.

They would get the relief funds and food from the Imperial Court and distribute them to the victims.

This could indeed save a portion of the people, but it definitely could not save everyone. The lack of grain in a region was simply too great. Even if the Imperial Court wanted to save all of them, they did not have the ability to do so.

Or rather. . .

There was no need for that.

If the money and rations for the disaster relief were to be distributed, the officials at various levels would have to deduct some of it to fill their pockets.0

In many cases, giving ten thousand taels of silver was the same as giving one hundred thousand taels of silver. The effect was often similar.

This was because the vast majority of officials did not ask for help from all the disaster victims. Instead, they wanted to ensure the survival of the disaster victims and fulfill the political requirements of the higher-ups. At the same time, they wanted to earn more money for themselves.

If 9,000 silver could save 80% of the people, they would be able to cope with the requests from the higher-ups. Then, if the higher-ups sent 10,000 silver, they would leave behind 1,000 silver, saving 80% of the people.

And if they sent 100,000 taels of silver, they would still use that 9,000 taels to save 80% of the people. That damnable 20% of the people would not survive just because of that amount of silver, because that money would fall into the hands of the various officials.

And the most ironic thing was. . .

Many a time, no matter how much silver they gave out, they wouldn't be able to save 80% of the disaster victims.

After all the major disasters, if they were able to survive more than 30%, even if they passed, if they were able to survive more than 50%, then they would be considered good officials who had the ability and ability.

However, no matter how many people they saved in the end, it was certain that those officials who had gone through the financial aid of the calamities would definitely earn a number that they were satisfied with.
