After he entered the Canghai Pavilion, he immediately passed it to Hu Hai in the form of a flying pigeon letter, "The eldest prince has already woken up. What happened yesterday was revealed, and the local people are not willing to play Guishuang army for our people to go in and smash the river. What should we do next, please tell the prince clearly."

He tied the finished letter to the pigeon's leg, and then released the pigeon directly, letting him fly back to Xianyang.

It's just that he didn't know that Zhao Ze was already waiting.

Seeing the pigeon flying out, Zhao Ze threw his hand, a dagger flew out from his sleeve, the dagger pierced the pigeon's wing, and the pigeon was knocked down.

Zhao Ze snatched the letter from the pigeon, and after seeing the contents behind the letter, he couldn't help but sneer.

Sure enough, he guessed "Third and Second Generation" was right.

This matter was done by Hu Hai, and he had vaguely guessed that these things were deliberately targeted at him.

But think about it, apart from the Guishuang Army, Hu Hai is probably the only one who wants to make a fool of himself the most.

After all, Ying Zheng sent him here, which represented Ying Zheng's dissatisfaction with his work this time.

Within a few days of his arrival, one-third of the construction of the river channel had been completed.

In the half month since Hu Hai came here, not only has the river channel not been built, but there has also been a mistake in the disaster relief fund here. The gap between Hu Hai and him is even greater in these ten comparisons.

Ying Zheng must have been disappointed in him, and after Hu Hai felt threatened, he would definitely want him to do something.

It is conceivable that the recent moths were all sent by Hu Hai.

Zhao Ze looked at the letter in his hand, threw the pigeon in his hand from the ground, and then looked back at the entrance of Canghai Pavilion, which was a wooden building.

On the wooden building, there are three big characters Canghai Pavilion written brightly.

Zhao Ze was not in a hurry to go in, but asked Li Xin to inquire about Canghai Pavilion after returning.

Only then did I know that Canghai Pavilion is the largest pawnshop in the area.

I heard that there are many strange curios in that pawn shop.

But what they do in the name of a pawn shop is a quack business. I heard that you can go to the pavilion to hire killers.

There are even many strange medicines and weapons inside.

Many people have been there, but no one has ever seen the owner of the Canghai Pavilion, only the treasurer of the Canghai Pavilion.

And this Canghai Pavilion is the only one in the entire Qin Kingdom, and there are no branches in other cities.

But even so, his name is not only famous in the world, even in Xianyang, many people know Canghai Pavilion.

After knowing the origin of Canghai Pavilion, Zhao Ze did not rush to deal with Canghai Pavilion, but directly sent additional night watchmen.

Now he doesn't have evidence yet, so he can't directly demolish the Canghai Pavilion blatantly.

He had to wait until he showed the fox's tail first, and after he found the evidence himself, he would destroy the Canghai Pavilion in one go.

Several days have passed since this incident, and Brother Canghai has not acted rashly. These days, no common people dare to come to the river to cause damage.

On the surface, everything is going well.

Zhao Ze also got the waterwheel model made by the carpenter.

The model was almost the same as he imagined, but there were still a few places that needed to be changed, so he called back and asked the carpenter to do it again.

Just as the carpenter left, Li Xin came in to report the news.

"In a few days, it will be July and a half. It is commonly known as Ghost Festival in the folks. At that time, many people will go to the riverside to light lanterns. The county magistrate said to come and ask you, can people leave the riverside at that time?"

Zhao Ze is not deep about festivals, he asked: "Is the ceremony of lighting lanterns important?"

Li Xin nodded: "Accordingly, it is very important, and the common people will send blessings to the relatives who have gone."

"It also means that they will have a good harvest in the coming year, and their wishes will come true. There is a folk saying that the water lanterns released in the middle of July will eventually flow to Huangquan Road."

Zhao Ze doesn't sound like he thinks this ceremony is very important. He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but thinking about it, the local people should believe it...

Especially in this flood this year, many people died in Jieshou City.

This year should be the time with the most water lanterns.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ze said: "Then you can arrange it yourself, but there is one requirement, the range of viewing the lanterns must be downstream of the repaired waterway.

Li Xin immediately went to arrange for the trust who received the news, and immediately went to the local area to post the yellow list.

The next day was July and a half.

Earlier, the moon was full, and Zhao Ze was still studying hard in his study.

Li Xin came over suddenly: "The general is not well, there is a fire down the river."

Zhao Ze quickly put down the book in his hand and asked what happened.

Li Xin explained out of breath: "There are too many people putting up lanterns this year, and there are several forests near the lower river, so they were accidentally lit."

Zhao Ze asked again: "Then there is no problem going up the river?"

Li Xin felt a little guilty, he hesitated and said: "Didn't Shanghehe push a lot of materials? There is a lot of wood among them."

"The wood was also accidentally ignited, and now the fire has also ignited some other materials."

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Ze0.6 immediately sat up from his chair.

"What's the matter? Didn't you send someone to guard?"

Li Xin bowed his head: "I have handed over this matter to a few county magistrates, and our brothers have to guard the upper river, and the manpower is really not enough.

There were hundreds of yamen servants under several county magistrates. Li Xin originally thought that there was no major problem and ignored it, but he didn't expect to catch fire.

The incident happened by itself, and Zhao Ze's investigation was useless. He asked calmly, "How is the fire rescue now? How much material is burned?"

"Now the fire is still being put out, and the materials on the other side are almost extinguished. There is no statistics on the specific number of ignited fires, but there may be a lot of them.
