"Sir, Hu Luo's family has a small business. Over at the water village..."

Seeing that Ke Yi was angry, the warrior hurriedly spoke again.

This time Tubo has 10,000 sets of sophisticated battle armors that are going to enter Ruyang via the waterway. Once the waterway is cut off, big things will happen.

"Destroy Hu Luo's family first!"

Ke Yi was so angry that he could not listen to the warrior's advice. He flicked his sleeves and walked out of the hall.

"grown ups...."

Seeing this, the warrior had no choice but to follow quickly.

........

Time flies and noon has passed in a blink of an eye.

In an abandoned house, Li Mo was sorting out the white linen paper he made yesterday.

As he expected, the white linen paper made according to modern technology is softer, more delicate, and whiter, and is more than one grade higher than the white linen paper he purchased from Xuanyang Paper Factory.

Rough calculation,

The collected white linen paper is enough to support the consumption of 5,000 manuscripts, but it is far from enough. With so many merchants coming to Ruyang, it may be necessary to prepare at least 50,000 manuscripts to meet the needs of the merchants.

And the paper costs less.

Including labor costs and raw materials, this batch of white linen paper will cost about twenty taels, but if you buy it from Xuanyang Paper Mill, it will cost at least a hundred taels.

"Zhang Shun!"

After confirming again that there was no problem, Li Mo spoke to the head catcher behind him.

"grown ups!"

At this time, Zhang Shun looked at Li Mo with deep admiration in addition to awe.

A few days ago, he didn't know why his lord called the people to collect cotton and linen, but he didn't expect that all of them ended up making paper.

Papermaking is not something that ordinary craftsmen can master.

So, how can you not admire it?

"Send these white linen papers to Zhang Yuanwai's Mansion, and... recruit fifty more people tomorrow."

Li Mo warned.

Earlier today, all the people who printed the manuscripts were arranged in Zhang Yuanwai's Mansion. In addition, the manuscripts of Water Margin were also completed last night and handed over to Cheng Yiran for typesetting and typesetting.

It won't be long before Water Margin will also be online.

"Yes, sir."

Zhang Shun took the order and left.

"Lord..."

Just when Li Mo turned around and wanted to take a look at other processes, Li Zhe appeared behind him with a hurried expression.

"Lord, a murder occurred at the County Cheng's Mansion! The entire family, including the retainers of the County Cheng's Mansion, were slaughtered."

"Um?"

Hearing this, Li Mo frowned.

"Lord, it should be that just half an hour ago, people passing by saw blood stains flowing out of the county magistrate's mansion, so they reported it to the county government."

"Let's go and have a look!"

After thinking for a moment, Li Mo put down his tools.

Hu Luo was colluding with Boss Ke. Apart from him, there was no other opponent in Ruyang County. How could he be slaughtered? There must be something fishy about it.

"Yes, lord."

.......

The house Li Mo Papermaking was looking for was not too far from the county government.

After two sticks of incense,

Li Mo, Li Zhe, and twenty policemen stood in front of the county magistrate's house.

Even before entering, you can already smell a strong smell of blood.

Creak!

push open the door,

The next moment, after seeing the scene in the mansion, Li Mo frowned and couldn't help but feel nauseated. The police officers behind him were even more unbearable. Some of them couldn't hold back and ran to the side to retching.

I saw severed limbs and bloody corpses everywhere in the house.

None of the servants, guards, or maids escaped. In addition to these, there were also the corpses of many warriors.

There are hundreds of tools in front, back and behind.

"Who did it?"

Walking into the courtyard, Li Mo turned to the backyard.

"Lord, it's most likely that Boss Ke did it!"

On the side, Xing Cai whispered.

He arrived at the county magistrate's mansion ahead of Li Mo and had already investigated the specific situation.

"Ke Yi?"

"There was a life-and-death fight in the backyard, and several corpses were wearing the clothes of the Kefu nursing home."

Xingcai nodded.

"But we can't confirm it now. It's possible that someone pretended to be a warrior from the Ke family to commit murder."

After a pause, he said again.

"Well! So...you lead people to seal the gate of the mansion first and put up a notice...so that the people and merchants don't have to panic. The county government will make the facts known to the public after they get to the bottom of the investigation.

"

Li Mo leaned down and took a look at the wounds on a slave's body, and frowned.

The wound was very thin, and it looked like it was done by a master.

He is now also a peak sixth-grade warrior, and has already stepped into the seventh-grade under the guidance of top masters such as Wang Changling and Li Taibai.

Even his sword skills may not be able to cause such wounds.

"Yes, lord."

Xingcai nodded heavily.

In essence, this matter has escaped the category of vendetta. If such a tragedy occurs in the county, no matter who the murderer is in the end, he must be arrested and tried by the government.

In particular, we need to give an explanation to the common people and merchants,

Otherwise, people in the county will definitely be in panic and will not dare to sleep at night.

"Li Zhe, the dead are the most important. No matter whether they have done evil before or not, after fixing the evidence, you can find a place to bury all these corpses."

Li Mo waved his hand again.

Even those murderers who committed heinous crimes had bodyguards after they were beheaded, let alone these.

"Yes, my lord!"

Li Zhe also hurriedly stood up.

"Come on, let's go to each room to see if there are any survivors."

Li Mo took a deep breath.

He knew about Hu Luo's trip to Dongdu. Zhao Hai had already sent a secret message. In addition to what Xing Cai had said before,

Is it a traitor?

For a moment, Li Mo thought of a possibility.

But this is just speculation, and evidence needs to be found for everything. If it is really Ke Yi's hand... then he can no longer stay.

For no other reason than to appease the people, he must be brought to justice.

.......

The sun sets,

On the official road to Ruyang Waterway, an army of three thousand people was marching quickly, with Cheng Ruobing and Zhao Hai riding horses at the forefront.

"Hu County Cheng, you can reach the ferry fifty miles ahead. Fifteen warships have been prepared there. With the prince here, it shouldn't be a problem to capture the water stronghold."

Glancing at Hu Luo, Zhao Hai smiled lightly.

"That's perfect."

Hearing this, Hu Luo couldn't help but secretly complain, but he still had to pretend to be excited on the surface.

What is this thing called?

He is really gutted now.

How good would it have been to stay in Ruyang? If you have to go to Dongdu to recruit troops, you are really shooting yourself in the foot and you still have to scream happily.

What's even worse is,

With this bandit-suppression army being so vigorous, Ke Yi will definitely receive news. What if there is a misunderstanding?

Along the way, the guards of the Governor's Mansion never left his side, even following him when going to the toilet.

There was no way to send a message to Ke Yi.

'By the way, Hu County Cheng...'

Report!

Just when Zhao Hai was about to say something more, a messenger rode a fast horse and caught up with Zhao Hai and Cheng Ruobing.

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Hai's expression changed.

"Master Qi, there is news from Ruyang, saying..."

The messenger glanced at Hu Luo and hesitated.

"Speak! No need to hesitate."
