After some time, the capital seemed calm, but Lord Li, Shen Mo and others knew that the crisis in the dark had not been completely eliminated.

In Lord Li's study, everyone gathered again to discuss.

Lord Li said with a serious look: "Although we have thwarted several plots of the Zhao family's remnants, I always feel that there are greater hidden dangers hidden deep inside."

Shen Mo responded: "My Lord, I feel the same way. During this period, I sent people to investigate secretly and found some suspicious signs."

Lin Yuwei asked anxiously: "What is the sign?"

Shen Mo lowered his voice: "I found that there is a group of funds of unknown origin flowing in the capital, which seems to be secretly supporting certain forces."

The elder brother frowned: "Could it be that the remnants of the Zhao family are causing trouble again?"

Lord Li pondered for a moment and said, "It's possible, but it's not clear who is behind this."

At this time, a subordinate hurried over to report: "Sir, I just received news that several unfamiliar faces frequently appeared in some important places in the capital, and their behavior was sneaky."

Lord Li immediately asked, "Have you seen their appearance clearly?"

The subordinate shook his head: "They are all wearing bamboo hats, which cover their faces tightly. I can't see their faces clearly."

Shen Mo said: "Sir, this matter is quite strange, we must deal with it carefully."

Lord Li nodded: "Send more people to investigate and make sure to find out their purpose."

A few days later, the subordinate came again to report: "Sir, after follow-up investigation, we found that these people were secretly contacting some wealthy businessmen and officials."

Lin Yuwei was surprised and asked, "Are they trying to win over these people?"

My brother said angrily, "Are these wealthy businessmen and officials going to go along with them?"

Lord Li said, "Don't jump to conclusions yet. Continue to monitor and see what their plans are."

Shen Mo said: "Sir, I am worried that the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."

Lord Li frowned slightly: "But before we have solid evidence, we can't act rashly."

Just when everyone was worried about this matter, a new situation occurred.

An official came hurriedly and said in a panic, "Sir Li, this is bad. The relief grain money allocated by the court is gone!"

Lord Li stood up suddenly: "What? How could this happen?"

The official said anxiously: "I don't know. The grain money is still in the account, but the warehouse is actually empty."

Shen Mo said: "Someone must be secretly plotting something and trying to frame us."

Lord Li said: "Investigate this matter thoroughly immediately and make sure to get the grain money back!"

Everyone began to investigate.

Lin Yuwei found some clues during the investigation: "Sir, I found that the guards of several warehouses had contact with those strange faces before the grain and money disappeared."

My brother said, "It seems that they are involved in this matter."

Lord Li said, "Catch those guards and interrogate them."

After some interrogation, the guard finally told the truth.

The guard trembled and said, "Someone gave us a large sum of money and asked us to cooperate with them to transport the grain money away."

Lord Li shouted angrily, "Who ordered you to do this?"

The guard said, "It's a man called Wang Erye, but we don't know who is behind him."

Shen Mo said: "Sir, it seems that we have to find this Wang Erye as soon as possible."

Lord Li said, "Increase the search efforts and make sure to find him."

After many days of tracking down, they finally found Wang Erye's hiding place.

Lord Li led his men to surround them.

Lord Li said loudly: "Master Wang, you have no way to escape, just surrender!"

Master Wang Er came out of the room and sneered, "Master Li, I didn't expect you to come so soon."

Lord Li said, "Tell me quickly, where is the grain money? Also, who instructed you to do this?"

Master Wang snorted, "Master Li, don't waste your energy. I won't say anything."

Shen Mo said: "If you don't tell me, you will be severely punished."

Master Wang laughed loudly: "I'm going to die anyway, I don't care."

At this moment, a mysterious man suddenly appeared and shot a poisonous arrow at Wang Erye.

Master Wang died on the spot.

The mysterious man turned around and tried to escape, but was stopped by Shen Mo and others.

Upon seeing this, the mysterious man committed suicide.

Lord Li looked gloomy: "It seems that the person behind this doesn't want us to find out the truth."

The elder brother said, "Sir, what should we do next?"

Lord Li said: "Continue the investigation and don't miss any clues. I don't believe they can hide forever."

Everyone was once again caught up in a difficult investigation.

During this process, the people in the capital were in panic because of the disappearance of disaster relief food and funds.

Some people gathered in front of the government office and demanded an explanation.

Commoner A shouted, "Sir Li, you must get the grain money back. We are still waiting for help!"

Citizen B said, "Yes, we can't let those bad guys get away with it."

Lord Li comforted him, "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation."

Shen Mo and others felt tremendous pressure, but they still did not give up.

Finally, by chance, Shen Mo discovered an important document.

Shen Mo excitedly came to Lord Li with the document: "Sir, look, this may be the key evidence."

After carefully examining the documents, Lord Li said, "It turned out to be him!"

It turned out that this document revealed the connection between an important court official and the incident.

Lord Li said, “I didn’t expect that he was the mastermind behind this.”

Lin Yuwei said: "Sir, what should we do?"

Lord Li said: "Don't alert the enemy yet, collect more evidence and then take him down in one fell swoop."

Everyone started a new round of busyness...
