When the Lancang River burst its banks and the flood threatened the entire Cangshan County, with countless people dying in the flood, the entire Luzhou was shaken.

At this time, the officials involved in the matter came to their senses and realized that everything the official who committed suicide by jumping into the river said was true. It was a pity that it was too late and countless lives had been lost.

In the imperial capital, Shadow also received the news from Chu Mo. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Shadow directly presented Chu Mo's letter together with the memorial written by Cen Mingdao to Tang Tiansheng.

The civil and military officials looked at the things placed on the table, looking around curiously, as if they were wondering what had happened.

Tang Tiansheng grabbed the letter and read it carefully.

But all civil and military officials could clearly feel that as Tang Tiansheng read the letter, the air pressure around him was getting lower and lower.

Then, Tang Tiansheng slammed the letter heavily on the table in front of him, and picked up the memorial written by Cen Mingdao and submitted to Song Yuancheng.

Tang Tiansheng, who knew what had happened, was furious. He smashed the table in front of him with one palm, and then couldn't help coughing a few times.

"Song Yuancheng, the governor of Luzhou, is simply the greatest idiot in the history. If it is true as Chu Mo said in the letter, I would not be too harsh even if I cut him into pieces."

Tang Tiansheng, the civil and military officials in the hall, were furious, and all looked at the sudden letter with curious and inquiring eyes.

At the same time, when they heard the name Chu Mo, they felt inexplicably moved in their hearts. This popular person who held several positions and was often mentioned by the emperor before, had not been mentioned by His Majesty for a long time.

Now, the emperor was angry with him again. What happened?

The old figure of Prime Minister Wei Yu slowly stepped out of the line and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, please take care of your health. What happened? Why are you so angry?"

Before Tang Tiansheng could answer, a guard rushed into the hall. Under the gaze of all the civil and military officials, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Li Xuanming, the Grand Commander of Jiangnan, has come from 800 miles away with an urgent matter to report."

Hearing this, Tang Tiansheng's heart skipped a beat, as a bad premonition spread throughout his body.

Li Xuanming, the Grand Commander of Jiangnan, is his confidant and has guarded the entire southern five continents for many years. His power is far higher than that of a provincial governor, and he can even control the military and dismiss people from office. Now something has alarmed him, which shows how serious this matter is.

Among the four great commanders of Xuandong, Youbei, Jiangnan and Huangxi, only he has been appointed. It can be said that he is an extremely special person in the current Xiayang Dynasty.

After the imperial guard finished speaking, he respectfully handed the letter in his hand over his head.

Seeing this, Wu Bao, Tang Tiansheng's personal eunuch, flashed and quickly came to the front of the imperial guards and quickly delivered the memorial to Tang Tiansheng.

Tang Tiansheng's face was now terribly gloomy. He took the memorial very uncomfortably, and after a slight pause, he slowly opened it.

When he saw the above content, the memorial slipped out of his hand and Tang Tiansheng almost fell down.

"His Majesty"

"Your Majesty, be careful."

All the officials in the audience were startled at once, and they all looked at Tang Tiansheng in the golden palace with nervous expressions.

With the help of the Wubao eunuch, Tang Tiansheng slowly sat on the dragon throne. He closed his eyes for a long time before slowly opening them.

All the civil and military officials in the hall were silent as a mouse, with their heads down. Given the current situation, they were afraid of being implicated and bringing disaster upon themselves.

Tang Tiansheng glanced around and finally stopped at Prime Minister Wei Yu.

Then he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, Chu Mo wrote to me earlier, saying that the weather in Cangshan County, Luzhou, was abnormal, and the heavy rain continued for several days. He was worried that the Lancang River in the territory would cause a flood risk."

"There was also a small water monitoring officer in Cangshan County who had such a guess, but no one took it seriously after he reported it. Especially the Luzhou governor Song Yuancheng, who was dictatorial and arrogant, did not listen to others, and even drove people out. He was extremely hateful."

"Now, the Lancang River has burst its banks due to the continuous heavy rains. Most of the Cangshan County has become a vast ocean. Countless people have been killed or injured. There are corpses floating everywhere. How can I not be angry?"

"If the governor of Luzhou had taken this flood seriously, even if it was inevitable, it could have been prevented early. Why didn't so many people in Xiayang die?"

Prime Minister Wei Yu and all the civil and military officials listened quietly. After listening to Tang Tiansheng's expression, many officials even took a breath of cold air. Such a natural disaster had not occurred in Xiayang for many years.

At this moment, they finally understood why Tang Tiansheng was so angry. The deaths of the people of an entire county, the lives of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, were ruined in one day. How could people not feel heartbroken?

After Wei Yu understood what happened, he slowly said, "Your Majesty, it is now April or May, and some areas in the southern five continents are in the plum rain season. It is normal that officials did not notice it, but the governor of Luzhou is indeed suspected of dereliction of duty and must be severely punished."

"But, I have a question?"

"Your Majesty, when Xiayang was first founded, the basin where the Lancang River flows through was always flooded, so the kings of all generations never slacked off in flood prevention work for the Lancang River. Later, Emperor Taizu even moved mountains and chiseled stones. After decades, he finally solved the flood problem."

"For the next hundred years, there were good weather and no floods. Now this flood has occurred, and I'm afraid there is something fishy going on."

Tang Tiansheng looked at Wei Yu deeply and said, "What the Prime Minister said is correct and his analysis is very accurate. It is precisely because there has been no flood in the Lancang River in the past hundred years that the late emperor and I have ignored this problem."

"Chu Mo also mentioned in his letter that after his investigation, he also guessed that the Lancang River breach was man-made?"

Wei Yu's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement with Chu Mo, then asked, "Your Majesty, did Chu Mo mention who did it in the letter?"

As Wei Yu asked the question, Tang Tiansheng's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Chu Mo mentioned an organization called Divine Punishment in the letter. Have you ever heard of this organization?"

After saying this, Tang Tiansheng glanced around the entire hall, expecting someone to come forward and answer.

But as time went by, no official stood up to answer this question. Everyone lowered their heads and dared not look forward.

"Humph, what's the point of me raising you guys? You're such a bunch of trash, trash!"

Seeing Tang Tiansheng getting angry, Wei Yu said, "Your Majesty, calm down. The officials in the court are all in the imperial capital and have never been to Luzhou. How could they know about the Divine Punishment organization? Maybe it is just a small force in Luzhou?"

At this time, the Minister of the Central Secretariat Qi Yongnian, dressed in red, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think what the Prime Minister said is wrong."

Tang Tiansheng turned to look at Qi Yongnian with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and quickly said, "Oh, my dear, if you have any guesses, please tell me."

Qi Yongnian glanced at Prime Minister Wei Yu with a slightly apologetic look, and explained: "The Prime Minister just said that it is the plum rain season now. I was born in Jiangzhou in the south, so I have naturally seen plum rain."

"But the letter in your majesty's hand just now said that it was raining heavily for several days. This does not conform to the characteristics of plum rain at all. I boldly guess that the heavy rain in Cangshan County for several days must be caused by someone changing the celestial phenomena."

"To be able to have such a skill, the other party must be at least in the third realm, and must be a cultivator of Taoism, Yin-Yang School, or Farming School who has the ability to change the weather. Just imagine, how could a cultivator with the strength of a third realm strongman not be famous and live in peace in a corner."

"The other party has set their sights on Cangshan County. Obviously, they have other purposes."
