Eight hundred and seventieth chapters tip of the iceberg
Li Luo didn't feel surprised at all. He didn't want to think about it or know it. He felt helpless and weak in his heart. He just wanted to get drunk and stop worrying about worldly affairs.
Just now, when Li Luo was not deliberately recalling the murals in the cabin, a place that Li Luo had ignored suddenly jumped out.
In the mural full of silence and death, there was a tree at the foot of the mountain. When he first looked at it, Li Luo didn't pay attention. His mind was completely captured by the artistic conception in the mural.
It wasn't until just now that Li Luo suddenly realized that the trees in the forest at the foot of the mountain were very similar to the ancient tree in the Immortal Peak. Although the lines in the painting were not clear, they were indeed very similar.
All these unrelated and scattered things seemed to be connected by a thread that Li Luo couldn't see or touch. Li Luo didn't know where the thread ended. What he saw was just the tip of the iceberg. If he had a closer look,
Don't know what the consequences will be.
Li Luo had a headache. Li Luo didn't want to know this secret hidden deep in the four realms of Dagan, but this secret slowly broke into Li Luo's field of vision.
Li Luo fell on the bed and was in a daze. The world was a chess game, but where the chess board was and how big it was, Li Luo gradually lost his way.
There is a piece of paper on the table beside the bed. It is a message from the woman in white. The handwriting is beautiful and it says: Thank you.
When writing this, the woman in white seemed to pause for a moment, and then wrote after the words "Thank you": Think about what you have.
"What do I have?" Li Luo murmured to himself and slowly closed his eyes.
After returning to the alliance city, Li Luo felt an unprecedented sense of urgency in his heart. It seemed as if there was a big mountain pressing on his heart. Every time it was quiet at night, Li Luo couldn't breathe, but he was still the same as before when he was in front of others.
Pale appearance.
Li Luo didn't explain much about the ghost ship. He only picked out what he saw when entering the sea and told it to the people of the alliance city. He said that the ghost ship had sunk. As for the meeting in the alliance city, those who are willing to stay can stay. If you want to leave,
They don't impose restrictions and interfere, and let them go and stay.
Li Luo acted like this, not only the people of the alliance city, but also the dignitaries in the city were a little confused. However, Li Luo then sent an order to Lan Qingshu, the magistrate of Chuyang Prefecture, and ordered him to secretly send officials to arrest the ghost ships that had committed murders in the past.
We will conduct detailed inspections of the villages and ferries where they live, focusing mainly on people and secondarily on things.
Another letter was sent to the Dali Division of Zhuocheng, instructing the Dali Division to thoroughly investigate the ghost ship. Although this matter is secretive, perhaps because there is no airtight wall in the world, some wealthy businessmen and travelers with powerful backgrounds in the alliance city have received the news, and after a while
It is speculated that the conclusion is self-evident. Nine times out of ten, the evil done by the ghost ship is a man-made disaster rather than a natural disaster. It seems that someone is using the name of the ghost ship to mess up the Gan Dynasty.
As soon as the news came out, the people in the alliance city suddenly changed the direction of the situation. Those who did not want to leave were even more reluctant to leave, and those who originally wanted to leave also stayed to see how the situation would progress.
Li Luo rarely sees foreign visitors these days, and discusses some daily affairs of the alliance city with Fan Anwei and Yaohehui. However, Su and Wance, who went to sea with Li Luo that day, were very busy. Almost every day, people posted messages to visit, most of them were spies.
Explore the secrets of the ghost ship.
Although Li Luo didn't say much, except for Cong Fu, who was bold and forthright in his words, the others in the sea were all people with outstanding minds. They didn't need Li Luo's guidance. They had their own sense of what to say or how to say it.
The ghost ship's prestige is still there, but it is not as frightening as before, and people are gradually settling down.
The League City meeting is approaching, and there is no sign of Mu Xiaoxia, but Mr. Yongda and his party have rushed back to the League City. No matter what the purpose is, the senior master who is hiding in the city stayed in the League City for an extra day or two, but...
Li Luo left without even attending the meeting.
Although the time was short and few people knew about it, when this matter was spread secretly and quietly, no one in the world dared to look down on the Alliance City Club.
When everything was done, the gloom in Li Luo's heart became more and more intense, and gradually there was a backlash, and the alliance city could no longer stay.
Li Luo suddenly decided to return to Zhuocheng. Fan Anwei was a little surprised, but this was expected. After all, Li Luo was Li Luo of Dagan, and it was not just a league city that could restrain Li Luo here.
Li Luo handed over all matters in the alliance city to Fan Anwei and Yao Hehui, and then held a banquet. All the powerful people in the alliance city gathered together. Li Luo raised his glass and expressed his gratitude for his help.
Except for Cong Fu, who was unhappy alone, everyone at the table was chatting and laughing, and were full of praise for the future prosperity of League City. It seemed that League City would soon become the largest commercial complex in the East Prefecture.
Li Luo couldn't bear to see Cong Fu's melancholy look, but after all, the world in Zhuocheng was not suitable for the thorn-backed arowana to swim in the East China Sea. Even if he had guilt and regret, he could only let it go.
Jiu Cai'er was extremely unhappy and simply annoyed Li Luo. Li Luo sent people to invite him several times, but they were all rejected and never even saw him in person.
It wasn't until later that Li Luo went there in person that he gave Li Luo a nice face, but he still didn't give Li Luo a good look.
Li Luo couldn't laugh or cry, but there was a rare warmth in his embarrassment.
Several old friends of Li Luo also came to the banquet. People from the Chuyang Clan who were on the same side as Li Luo and Mu Tianlang also came to the alliance city. Pei Daifu and Qin Yuhan came to the alliance city with Lin Baiming.
Attend the meeting.
Several of them were old acquaintances, and Zhai Liaoyu and Pei Daifu had a close friendship and were quite enthusiastic about each other.
Li Luo personally offered Pei Daifu a few glasses of water and wine, which made everyone in Chuyang Clan feel flattered, but also made others jealous.
After the banquet, in the early morning of the next day, Li Luo said goodbye to everyone and led his generals to rush to Zhuocheng without stopping.
Li Luo was eager to return home. It was rare that he felt such an urgent mood, but what surprised a few people was that the uneasiness in Li Luo's heart was realized so quickly.
This time, the person who got into trouble was Yang Wanli, the uncle of the Inspection Department Shaoqing and one of the Nine Qings.
Halfway through the return journey, before reaching Zhuozhou, Li Luo received a secret report. The imperial court convicted Shaoqing of the Inspection Department, and Yang Wanli, the Counselor of the Privy Council, had been escorted to prison and a day of decision was to be decided.
This incident happened very suddenly, with no cause but consequences. I don’t know what kind of twists and turns caused Yang Wanli to be imprisoned so quickly and hastily.
The charges stated in the secret report were very serious, including contempt for the imperial power and harming the emperor's relatives.
Li Luo felt a chill in his heart. He didn't expect the commotion to be so big. Once Yang Wanli's charges were confirmed, even if he could escape death, he would have to give up his position as Shaoqing of the Inspection Department and Counselor of the Privy Council. In this way, there would be no movement.
It is the foundation of the Inspection Department.
The secret report came not from the Privy Council, nor from an official document from the court, but from the secret force of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches established by Shen Xiangdong and Li Luo.
Let’s not talk about the Privy Council. There is no group of dragons. I am afraid that it is controlled by others at this moment.
