In the main hall, Zhongshu Ling Qi Yongnian made clear and logical analyses and spoke earnestly, with wisdom gleaming in his eyes.

As his voice fell, Prime Minister Wei Yu immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, I was not thoughtful enough. The Zhongshu Ling's guess is more in line with reality. This old minister also agrees with the Zhongshu Ling's guess."

Qi Yongnian on the side respectfully bowed to Wei Yu, and everything was said without words.

Seeing this, Tang Tiansheng nodded with great satisfaction and said, "You two are right. The letter states that there is a black water snake in Cangshan County that has practiced the art of transforming into a dragon. It wants to use the power of the water veins to transform into a dragon. This is one of the causes of the flood."

"And then there is the Divine Punishment organization. They secretly sabotaged and used the power of the Black Water Mystic Serpent to cause this flood. Such behavior is truly detestable."

After that, he looked towards the side of the Golden Palace and said in that direction: "Shadow, the origin of the Divine Punishment Organization is mysterious. Even Chu Mo emphasized the extraordinary power of this party in his letter. You should go there in person and investigate this matter thoroughly to see what role the Divine Punishment Organization plays in it."

A voice came from the shadowy figure in the dark of the Golden Palace: "I obey your command."

The next second there was silence, and all the officials knew that the shadow had left.

Then, Tang Tiansheng called out the name of the Minister of Revenue, Zhang Fuan. Cangshan County has suffered a disaster and is in need of reconstruction. We must properly stabilize the people who survived, register them, allocate funds and distribute food. Human life is at stake. If something happens to the people, what will you do?"

A middle-aged man in a red robe with a short beard stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please put it down. I will do my best to save the people of Cangshan County."

Tang Tiansheng nodded and continued to name names, "Minister of Works Sun Yongnian, you must lead the members of the Ministry of Works to complete the post-disaster reconstruction of Cangshan County. All materials can be mobilized at will. I need the people of Cangshan County to have a more perfect home."

An official in red with a white beard stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I obey your order."

Tang Tiansheng looked around, and then said in a slightly cold tone: "This matter is of great importance. If I find anyone who is passive and negligent, they will be executed without mercy."

Then, Tang Tiansheng looked at Wei Yu who was standing below, and then said: "Prime Minister, now that such a disaster has occurred in Cangshan County, Luzhou, countless people in Xiayang have been killed and injured. I will trouble you to complete the aftermath work."

The white-haired Wei Yu bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best to properly arrange for the people of Xiayang."

Tang Tiansheng nodded, his expression softened, and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Prime Minister."

After arranging the rescue work in Cangshan County, Tang Tiansheng's eyes turned cold again, and one could even see a raging fire burning in his eyes.

"Song Yuancheng, the governor of Luzhou, is a presumptuous governor of a state. Because of his stupidity, he caused the lives of the people of an entire county to be destroyed. I wish I could skin him alive and cut him into pieces. Ghost Shadow, you go to Luzhou in person, question Song Yuancheng, abolish his cultivation, and take him back to the imperial capital to be tried by the Ministry of Justice."

Just as Tang Tiansheng gave the order, a depressing atmosphere permeated the entire Governor's Mansion in Yunchui City, Tianwu County. All the servants acted very cautiously, for fear of provoking the Governor in the room.

Song Yuancheng, the governor of Luzhou, locked himself in the room at this moment, with a dazed look on his face. He leaned on the chair as if his body was detached, staring blankly at the beams, holding a letter tightly in his hand.

He had not expected that his mistake indirectly led to the deaths of countless people. If he had been more cautious at the beginning, paid more attention to the reports of his subordinates, and sent people to investigate the strange rainstorm, could everything have been saved?

He blamed himself for his negligence. As the governor of a state, he let such a big thing happen in Luzhou, which he governed.

At the same time, Song Yuancheng also knew that if the emperor knew what happened today, not only would his life come to an end, but his wife and children at home would also be implicated.

Thinking of this, Song Yuancheng closed his eyes in pain. He really didn't have the courage to go to the imperial capital to stand trial by the Ministry of Justice, nor did he have the face to face the civil and military officials in the court.

He was even more ashamed to live in this world. When he thought of the days when countless people would seek his life, Song Yuancheng could not help but shudder.

"Wow, I feel ashamed towards the people of Cangshan County. I don't even have the face to face the people of Luzhou or to see the emperor." After saying this, he burst into tears in the room.

After a long time, Song Yuancheng took off his official uniform and placed it neatly on the desk where he usually worked. Then he took down the sword hanging on the wall and committed suicide in the room.

After his death, his body was in a kneeling position, and the direction of his kneeling was exactly that of Cangshan County.

A provincial governor ended his life in this way, ending a life of pain and mistakes.

At night, a bonfire was burning in an open space.

Chu Mo sat beside the campfire, staring at the blazing flames absentmindedly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yao Guangxiao brought a bowl of thick rice porridge to Chu Mo and said, "My lord, please eat something. I have already told Jiye and the others that I believe we will soon find the murderer behind the scenes."

Now, one day has passed since the flood broke out. The Black Water Mystic Snake that attempted to transform into a dragon by walking into the water failed due to the karma of countless deaths at the moment the flood occurred.

Although there was a plan of divine punishment involved, it was the Black Water Mysterious Snake that directly caused the deaths of the people. Even the karma that was supposed to befall the several divine servants was transferred to the Black Water Mysterious Snake through an unknown secret method.

The Black Water Mystic Snake, which failed to transform into a dragon, had already suffered heavy damage, so Chu Mo secretly ordered the Green Dragon Ao Qing to secretly kill it and bring back its body.

Without the manipulation of the Black Water Serpent, the surface of the Lancang River gradually returned to calm. At the same time, support came from the surrounding Yunyan County, Lishui County, and Tianwu County. Each county sent experts to build dams to block the water, and finally stopped the Lancang River from bursting its banks.

Merchants and common people from many places voluntarily came to help Cangshan County. Even Chu Mo took out all the stored food and distributed it to the surviving people.

The rescue is still going on, and some surviving people are constantly being found. Under the leadership of some officials, they have been properly resettled.

Despite this, the cities, towns and villages affected by the flood were still flooded, with countless corpses floating on the water, attracting countless scavenger beasts, creating a scene of hell on earth.

Although Chu Mo did not participate in the rescue work, he was not idle either. He spent the whole day patrolling for clues of the Divine Punishment Organization.

He had witnessed the methods of the Shusi divine servant and could be sure that the remaining talismans were from his hand.

Chu Mo also knew clearly in his heart that everything that happened in Cangshan County was the result of the conspiracy of that Shusi divine servant. Chu Mo would naturally not let him go easily for taking human life so lightly.

He directly arranged for everyone to go out and look for the trace. Once the trace was found, he would immediately notify everyone and make the criminal pay with blood.

It’s just disappointing that after a whole day of searching, not a single trace of the Divine Punishment Organization was found. It was as if they had disappeared from the face of the earth.

Now, Yao Guangxiao was the only one guarding him. Chu Mo took the rice porridge handed to him and took a sip.

Now that he can't find them, Chu Mo really can't feel at ease, because he is afraid that the other party will shift their target to other states and counties.
