Chapter 414 Three Pieces of Information

Using fish to provide disaster relief, Jinxia City did something outrageous and unbelievable.

The yield of this fish is much lower than that of rice and wheat. Fishermen need to fish it out one by one. How much they can catch in each trip depends solely on the weather. In addition, it is not easy to preserve the quality of seafood, and no one will hoard a large amount of fish, shells, shrimps and crabs. Come and eat the staple food.

Jinxia uses it to deal with the food shortage?

When he heard the news that the relief porridge was thin and bitter, he thought there was someone there who knew about disaster relief, but now Pelican no longer understands what Jin Xia is planning.

The location where the ice ship docked has been cleared by soldiers. The black bipedal beast has taken on the responsibility of unloading sea cargo. At the same time, the Affairs Bureau seems to have arranged a storage point in the dock area, and there are soldiers around to maintain order. , the chaos of calling handymen to move the goods did not turn out as Pelican expected.

In other words, few things fit into his plan.

First, the warlocks were chasing him, and all the wild cats in the city had become the opponent's spies; now, he was building a ship out of ice, and he couldn't even start a fire. He didn't expect that a task that should be inevitable would become so difficult and complicated.

I can only try my best.

He knew that the longer he delayed, the slimmer his chances would be, and even if he succeeded, the effect would be insignificant.

It would be best if the people who came after hearing the news saw the destruction of these "foods" with their own eyes, so as to deepen their fear of food shortages.

He also firmly believed that this boat of fresh fish was Jin Xia's emergency measure, and it was absolutely impossible to continuously supply it to Baihe City as advertised by the Affairs Bureau.

To undermine this support is to undermine people's confidence.

The human heart is the source of turmoil.

The pelican calmed down, put his right hand into his robe, held the Thunderbolt hidden in the inner lining, and pushed away the crowd with his left hand, approaching the ice ship.

Fortunately, the other party did not seal off the entire dock—perhaps due to lack of manpower, or perhaps the Jinxia people also understood that publicizing the arrival of support would be greatly inspiring. Regardless, these spectators became his best cover.

While estimating the throwing distance, he slowly approached the side near the river.

Just four or five steps away, a cold voice suddenly came into his ears, "Stop, don't move your right hand."

The pelican felt that the hairs all over his body stood up!

Although the surroundings were filled with noisy discussions, this sentence was clearly audible and instantly penetrated all the noise at the scene.

He turned his head and saw a figure wearing a hat in the crowd walking towards him quickly.

There was no mistake, this person was the alchemist who had been tracking him before!

The pelican didn't have time to think about how he was exposed. He yanked out the Thunderbolt, pressed the metal rod, threw it in the direction of the ice ship, and jumped into the river at the same time!

With a flash of golden light, Zhentian Lei was chopped into several pieces in the air, and the fillings inside were scattered with a splash——

Then there was a roar!

The upper part of the wooden pipe exploded to pieces, causing everyone to scream and run away, but the raging fire that was supposed to be sparked failed to appear. The power of the explosion alone was almost the same as that of a large firecracker.

The pelican on the other side also found in despair that what greeted him was not the flowing river water, but solid ice. The moment he jumped out of the crowd, the river beneath his feet had frozen into ice.

He fell hard on the ice and one of his feet broke.

Before he could get up again, a girl who looked like a child had jumped off the ice boat and slapped him on the head.

The pelican suddenly passed out.

…

"I heard that you caught the behind-the-scenes commander?" Kong Liang, the head of the branch, said happily.

"That's right," Luo Qingqing gave an overview of the situation. "He was supposed to be arrested yesterday, but it's a pity that he ran away in the end. Now Li is interrogating him, and the incident of maliciously raising food prices in Baihe City should be solved soon. Got closure.”

In two days, he found the main culprit among the tens of thousands of residents of Baihe City and arrested him. Kong Liang had a new understanding of the alchemist of the General Affairs Bureau. Even though the other person looked younger than him, he no longer dared to have any trace of it. Look down, "There were so many people on the dock at that time...how did you find out there was something wrong with him?"

"He pretended to be very good, but it's a pity that anger can't deceive others." Luo Qingqing replied calmly, "If you can see the anger, you can also detect the strangeness at that time."

Qi not only distinguishes those who feel Qi from ordinary people, but also outlines the basic outline of the human body. Despite the large number of onlookers at the time, Pelican was the only one with signs of a large shadow on his chest. If they are far apart, this feature may not be obvious enough, but when the distance is shortened, the shadow becomes particularly eye-catching.

This can only prove that this person is hiding an unusual object on his body, and its thickness is not thin and can block the perception of Qi. Even if it is just a piece of brick, it is enough for Luo Qingqing to drink the other person. .

Regarding the capture of the enemy, it did not go beyond the judgment of the staff.

As early as yesterday evening's communication, He Guicai judged that the Privy Council might launch an attack on the transport ship to undermine people's confidence in Jinxia City's assistance. Allowing the onlookers to enter the dock, while letting Qianzhi who came with the boat be ready to block the river at any time, was a strategy provided by the staff department.

Luo Qingqing is just the last link in executing this plan.

It can be said that these spies faced not just one or two alchemists, but the entire Jinxia think tank.

At this time Li opened the door to the back room and nodded gently to Luo and Kong Liang.

"Is the interrogation over?"

"The pelican is dead."

"What?" Luo Qingqing raised an eyebrow in surprise and walked into the house. He saw the man tied to the chair with his head tilted to one side. The Qi in his body had dissipated almost completely, and he was changing from a living being to a accumulator. "How could it be... I had Qianzhi check his mouth at that time, and no hidden poison was found."

"It's not poison, it's a magic." Li said in a deep voice, "and it's a magic specifically for Kan magic. It seems to be activated when it senses that the illusion interferes with consciousness, blocking the interrogation and killing the attached person. Judging from this person's last performance, he should not know that such a thing exists. It seems that the Privy Council cannot accept that a spy of this level falls into Jinxia's hands, and they made a move before they left."

Sure enough... Luo Qingqing thought to himself, even the most backward order will not be willing to leave the stage, as long as there is a trace of breath, they will do their best to counterattack.

"So... we didn't get any intelligence?"

"That's not the case." Li spread her hands. "Although this man's will is firm, he is not a qi sensor after all, and his resistance to Kanshu is very limited. Before he died, I saw at least three pieces of intelligence."

Kong Liang noticed that she used the word "saw" instead of "heard".

"First, they plan to burn down the grain stores that store grain, and they will do it tonight. The staff has also calculated this, and this intelligence is a confirmation."

"Second, they communicate with their superiors through messengers, and I already know the secret code used."

"Third, a large number of spies have infiltrated Shenzhou, and their leader is in Liuzhou, and he is an acquaintance you and I know..."

"Who?" Luo Qingqing subconsciously looked at Li.

"Fei Nian." The latter answered.
