Meng Yi did not make any polite decisions with the two of them, and immediately let the three of them enter the previous small hall and asked Gu Haoran to report to him the information they had collected recently.

The information obtained by Gu Haoran was not very useful. However, Chen Sheng learned a lot of important information from their questions and answers. These information were not something that Gu Haoran could master.

Meng Yi brought more information. The reason why Gu Haoran appeared in Pengcheng and Meng Yi Fusu came to Sishui is very simple. The grain purchased from the northern counties seemed to have been transferred to Sishui County, and then there was no information here.

Of course, Meng Yi and others also arrested some of the transport and purchases in various counties and counties, but these people were basically employed farm farmers from the local area and had no idea what happened. They all transported the food and grass to nearby counties and handed over to another group of people, and they did not know where the goods were transported.

At the same time, the empire also vigorously investigated the old money of the six countries and reached a conclusion that was almost consistent with Chen Sheng's inference. After mid-May last year, the rich and wealthy families who migrated to Xianyang received news that the emperor would promulgate the use of old money in various countries in a very short time. At that time, the rich families with a large amount of coins will turn into scrap copper and iron!

After the news spread, someone soon took out gold to exchange it with these rich households and bought various old money at an extremely low proportion.

Originally, these rich and nobles wanted to buy land with coins and convert the coins into land and other valuable things. However, when they thought of the emperor's orders to migrate to Xianyang, it was estimated that it was unlikely that they would return to their hometown in this life. After purchasing these lands, they only got cheaper in the empire, so most people exchanged the old money they had on hand.

This news did not surprise Chen Sheng too much. Surprisingly, Meng Yi investigated and learned that the people who scattered the news were actually the official members of the empire, and they were the most confidential institution of the empire: Heishui Pavilion. In addition to Heishui Pavilion, some old nobles from the six countries actually appeared.

The matter involved Heishui Pavilion and the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms, which became complicated. However, only Heishui Pavilion could organize such a huge force, spread so many rumors in a short period of time, and convince the rich businessmen and nobles. This can explain why such a big thing happened, and the emperor and the court did not notice it. The reason was that some of the personnel of Heishui Pavilion were involved. However, why Heishui Pavilion had something to do with the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms was the most worrying thing; in addition, the Ling family of Bajun and Wu family of Longxi also had doubts at this time, which made Meng Yi even more troubled.

Meng Yi reported the matter to the emperor. The emperor was furious and carried out a major purge in the Heishui Pavilion. He no longer believed the personnel of the Heishui Pavilion. Xun recalled Wei Liao and asked Wei Liao to take charge of the work of the Heishui Pavilion again. Xun also asked Meng Yi and Fusu to rush to the Sishui area to thoroughly investigate the matter.

When the matter was found here, I was already a little surprised. As long as I grabbed the black sheep of Heishui Pavilion, I could track down the truth behind the scenes and find the whereabouts of the food.

But this is just a luxury. Because all the people involved have died and disappeared one after another in the past few months.

After listening to Meng Yi's simple story, Chen Sheng had basically understood the whole story of the whole thing. And during the listening process, he also noticed several details.

Because Chen Sheng heard that the old nobles of the six countries involved in this incident were named by Meng Yi directly by the old Korean master Zhang Liang. This guy planned a riot of the old nobles in Yingchuan County a few years ago. After the failure, he was not heard from him. Although the empire has been arrested for him for a long time, it is not easy to find this cunning guy like a fox in an era of chaos.

When Chen Sheng heard Zhang Liang's name, he immediately remembered the incident when Zhang Liang returned to Pengcheng to buy food last fall.

Perhaps Zhang Liang had already participated in this matter since then? This is not impossible. Recalling some introductions from Zhou Wen to Zhang Liang, Chen Sheng felt a little sank. If Zhang Liang really intervened in this incident, it would not be simple. From Zhou Wen's introduction, Zhang Liang had a trade route with the Hu people on the grassland, and traveled to the Central Plains and the grassland several times a year. If this batch of grain fell into Zhang Liang's hands, then this batch of grain would probably be transported out of the empire by him. Such a huge amount of grain would appear in the hands of Hu people or Huns, it would not be a joke.

Chen Sheng secreted a thin bead of sweat from the tip of his nose, and he immediately reported to Meng Yi about this matter.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yi was even more shocked. If a huge amount of food flowed out of the Huns, it would mean a huge disaster for the empire. If the Huns with abundant food attacked the empire, the empire would fall into a very arduous war, and it would be a time when food and grass are scarce now!

Meng Yi, who was scared out of cold sweat, immediately picked up the map and various information and read it carefully. He was relieved until he was sure that there were no large-scale caravans in the empire's territory. If he wanted to transport such a large amount of food and grass from a small road, it would definitely be impossible to complete the task.

However, this also made Meng Yi even more alert. He immediately asked Yang Duan and Ling to arrest Zhang Liang and his tribe members again across the country.

Chen Sheng smiled bitterly. Fortunately, he met his teacher Wei Liao, otherwise after meeting Zhang Liang, he might have actually boarded his pirate ship and may now become a "rebellious accomplice".

After sorting out all the clues, Meng Yi said: "Our priority is to track down the whereabouts of this batch of food and grass, but so far, we only know that Zhang Liang may be involved in it. In addition, there is only one clue left, that is, the Ling family of Bajun and Wu families of Longxi who may be involved in this case." Speaking of this, Meng Yi paused and said: "These two large families that mainly engage in business once paid a large amount of property to the empire last year. In fact,

The Supreme Court is equivalent to funding the southern expedition of the empire. Now it seems that their move is not good. From the information I have received, they have recently appeared in Sishui County. Before that, the Ling family occasionally appeared in the Central Plains, and no one in the Wu family has ever entered this Central Plains. I think they are very suspicious, so we must closely monitor the actions of these two caravans to find out the purpose of their appearance, and see if they are involved in this matter."

When talking about this, Meng Yi said again: "In addition, I have a big question. Why did the mysterious man who purchased the grain transport these grains to Sishui?"

When he said this, Meng Yi's eyes were staring at Chen Sheng.

Seeing Meng Yi's eyes, Chen Sheng smiled bitterly again. A map was placed in front of Meng Yi. Seeing Chen Sheng's expression, Meng Yi waved to Chen Sheng and said, "Chen Sheng, tell me what you think?" Meng Yi also wanted to test Chen Sheng's ability, whether it matched what Wei Liao and Gu Haoran said.

"Sir, this is hard to say!" Seeing that he was named, Chen Sheng frowned and had to walk up and stare at the map.

This map is also quite detailed. The major counties and mountains, rivers and rivers of the empire were marked in detail, but the proportions were not very accurate.

The map carefully identifies the gathering of grain purchased from various places, which are all sorted out by Meng Yi from the hiring farmers arrested and participated in the transportation of grain in various places.

Chen Sheng observed carefully and frowned slightly. He found that except for some counties divided into old Qin land, the other counties had grain purchases. However, on the map sign, Chen Sheng showed a very interesting phenomenon: Only the counties north of the Huai River transported grain to Sishui County. There was no sign of this in counties south of the Huai River, such as Jiujiang County and Jun County adjacent to Sishui County.

Does this mean anything? Chen Sheng frowned, shook his head, and slowly thought about his appearance.
