I am a hero in the rivers and lakes

Chapter 582 Special Discovery
"Master Bai, what did you find?"

As soon as he came back from Wuding Mountain, Shen Kang saw that the inner secret agent Bai Haochu seemed to be frowning and discussing something with a few of his subordinates, and there seemed to be an inexplicable worry in his words.

"Master Shen, are you back?" After seeing Shen Kang who suddenly appeared, Bai Haochu immediately changed into another face. The shopkeeper of the restaurant greeted every guest attentively.

Waved his hands to let his subordinates leave, Bai Haochu cupped his hands at Shen Kang, and said with gratitude, "Master Shen, the imperial court has already learned about what happened here, and once again appropriated a large amount of money from the treasury for relief. Victims!"

"Sovereign Shen is very benevolent and righteous, and the imperial court asked me to express my gratitude. I have been in charge of secret agents for many years, and I have seen countless people who are hypocritical and righteous. However, such a benevolent and righteous hero like Master Shen is rare in the world, and he is a great Jianghu."

"Okay, don't tell me what you have and what you don't have!" After waving his hand, Shen Kang directly interrupted the other party's words.It was alright at first, but later on Shen Kang who listened to this flattery was a little bit flustered.

It's no wonder that people can get into this job. They are serious but not harsh to their subordinates, and they are decent and reassuring.Look at the level of this fear of flattery, standing on a moral height and praising people, making people feel elated invisibly.

It's hard to be a Beijing official these days, and it's even more difficult to lead the secret agents in the big inner circle. Those who can get out smoothly are all talents among talents.The nice words came out of my mouth without being obtrusive at all.

"During this period of time, I don't know if Mr. Bai has investigated the situation in various places clearly?"

"Lord Shen, don't worry, we can easily do this little thing. Now those corrupt officials have all been taken down, and disaster relief in various places has been put on the agenda. It's just..."

Carefully looking around, Bai Haochu said solemnly, "It's just that after investigation, we found that there seems to be something wrong with this disaster!"

"Is there a problem? What's the problem?"

"Master Shen, after our investigation, we found that Nanchuan Prefecture and other places that were severely affected by the disaster only had a little less rain than in previous years. It is said that even if there is a problem, the impact will not be great, but after the minor drought, locust plagues appeared inexplicably, and the coming It seems to be too sudden, people can't react at all!"

"As soon as the locust plague appeared, it was overwhelming and directly affected several prefectures. Then, it quickly spread to the surrounding areas, turning half of the western state into a disaster area, and tens of millions of people became Liu Min. In two months, the number of people who died because of this is probably in the millions!"

"The most important thing is that the local governments and even the arresting gates seem to be controlled by a pair of invisible hands. The disaster in Xizhou cannot be hidden, so they report that the disaster is controllable and the loss is not big!"

"If you don't come here in person, you don't know that this place is so serious. These people should be killed!"

Having said that, Bai Haochu gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill all these people.In fact, that's what he did.After he reported the performance here, the imperial court reacted very quickly, and immediately responded with one word, "Kill!"

During this time, his body was covered in blood, and the people who killed him were almost terrified!

However, in front of Shen Kang, he carefully put away all his murderous aura, "Master Shen, after this period of investigation, I also found a problem!"

"These affected people are begging everywhere to escape the famine, but wherever they go, the same locust plague will appear there, causing the people there to become refugees, disaster victims. Up to now, the disaster is still expanding .”

"Nowadays, some refugees have already arrived in Yuzhou Binchuan Prefecture, and the same locust plague has begun to appear here and there. If this continues, even if the imperial court sells iron, it will be difficult to relieve so many victims. !"

They couldn't help sighing softly. They also checked these refugees, and they were basically ordinary people, nothing special.But they are like a plague. Going to one place can infect another place, which is simply confusing.

This is the first time he has encountered such a thing after he has been in charge of the Ouchi secret agent for so many years.There was obviously something wrong everywhere, but they just couldn't find it out.All the methods used in the past are useless at this moment.

"Is that so?" Frowning, Shen Kang waved his hand at Bai Haochu and said, "Since the disaster victims have already started pouring into Binchuan Mansion, I'll go and see for myself. I want to see what's the problem!"

The next moment, Shen Kang's figure had disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived at Binchuan Mansion, Yuzhou.

Here, he also saw a large number of people walking together. These people looked miserable, and there was no hope in their eyes, and there was only endless numbness and emptiness in their eyes.

Among the crowd, an old man seemed unable to hold on and fell to the ground, but the people around him pretended not to see it.Most people continued to walk on their own, and no one ever reached out to give the old man a hand.

These days, such experiences are too many.They can't even take care of themselves, let alone others.Even those young and strong can't survive, let alone these elderly people.

It is estimated that this old man has little hope of standing up again after falling down!
However, some people in the crowd still stopped and stared at the old man who fell on the ground.

These people didn't come forward to help, they just looked at this side quietly, watching the old man's breathing getting weaker and weaker, and some people even drooled, as if they were watching a delicious dinner.

"Old man, are you alright!" Appearing suddenly, Shen Kang appeared and helped the old man up, and made the people around him take a few steps back, a trace of fear and panic flashed in their numb eyes.

In this high martial arts world where martial arts experts are everywhere, even ordinary people have some knowledge.The person in front of them suddenly appeared in front of them, as if appearing out of nowhere, and it was very likely that he was the legendary martial arts master.These people kill without blinking an eye, so don't mess with them.

"Old man!" Putting one hand on the old man's body, vitality poured into his body continuously, and the old man successfully opened his already cloudy eyes, and then Shen Kang took out a steamed bun from his storage space and handed it to him. go up.

"Steamed buns!" When he saw the steamed buns, the old man's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it, but he stuffed the steamed buns into his mouth as quickly as possible, as if he was afraid that others would snatch them away.

However, the old man's worry seemed to be right. After seeing the steamed buns, the people around them almost went crazy, and there was a fierce look in their eyes.If it wasn't for Shen Kang who didn't seem to be easy to mess with, maybe they had already rushed up to snatch it at this time.

Only with Shen Kang by their side, they could only drooling secretly while watching a bad old man eat all the steamed buns.

"Old man, eat slowly, don't worry, can you tell me what happened?"

"Woohoo." While eating, the old man's tears couldn't stop streaming down, "It's ruined, everything is ruined, there's no more food, there's nothing left...!"

"Old man, don't worry, everything will pass!" Patting the old man on the shoulder, Shen Kang comforted him, and at the same time helped him recuperate his almost exhausted body with his true energy.

"No, no." The true energy spread all over the old man's body, but Shen Kang frowned.On the old man, he actually found some unusual and special discoveries.

"This is... the technique of controlling insects?"
