The next day, the rain continued, but compared with the previous few days, the rain had dropped a lot. It seemed that the weather was clear after the rain.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they withstand the heavy rains of the previous few days, there should be no more floods this year.

Late at night that day, many ordinary people living near Baisong River were awakened by a strange muffled sound. However, most of them didn't care. They thought it was a thunder sound, so they turned over and continued to sleep.

In the early morning, just a hint of dawn appeared in the sky in the east, and the door of Lin Xu's house was knocked to the sky!

The concierge Xiao He opened the door in the rain and saw Chang San standing at the door, soaking like a chicken falling from the ground!

"Master Chang San, it's not dawn yet. Why did you come here so early?"

Xiao He asked in wonder.

"Please report immediately, sir, what an urgent matter is!"

Chang San wiped the rain on his face and said anxiously.

"Okay! OK! You wait in the concierge first, and I'll report it immediately!"

Seeing Chang San's anxious look, Xiao He didn't dare to delay and immediately reported!

Although Lin Xu had not yet got up, he had already woken up and was hugging Yueyao and enjoying the leisurely morning.

After hearing Xiao He’s report, an ominous premonition immediately arose in his heart. He immediately got up with his clothes and asked Xiao He to tell Chang San that he would come to the flower hall to meet!

As soon as Chang San entered the flower hall, Lin Xu arrived!

"gentlemen......"

"Chang San, what happened?"

"I just got the news that last night, all five embankments on the Baisong River broke overnight! The fields and villages on both sides of the Baisong River have now been flooded with floods!"

"What?!"

Lin Xu was shocked when he heard this news!

Then, he asked in confusion: "It rained so heavily a few days ago, and the Baisong River did not break the dam. The rainfall in the past two days has decreased significantly. How could it suddenly break the dam? That's fine! The key is that the five dams of the Baisong River were just reinforced last spring. It is said that it cost more than one million taels of silver in total! Even if there is a problem with one dam, it is impossible for the five dams to have problems at the same time, right?"

"What the sir said is very true! There must be problems here! I think someone must have wanted these five embankments to have problems at the same time!"

Chang Sanjin said with certainty!

"you mean......"

Lin Xu looked at Chang San with complicated eyes.

"Sir, do you still remember the ship of black gunpowder bought by the Suzhou Prefect's Office?"

Chang San lowered his voice and said.

"boom!"

Hearing this sentence, Lin Xu felt like a thunder thunder sounded in his mind, standing there blankly, unable to come back to his senses for a long time!

In fact, after learning that day that the Suzhou Prefectural Office suddenly bought a ship of black gunpowder, he felt that this was probably related to the conversion of rice into mulberry!

However, he was puzzled by how black gunpowder could be related to the change of rice into mulberry!

At some point, he even vaguely thought that the government wanted to use these black gunpowder to cause some damage to force the people to change rice into mulberry, right?

But he thought for a long time, but he never expected that the government would use black gunpowder to blow up the embankment, and even five were blown up in an instant, forcing the people to change rice into mulberry by flooding the fields!

Now that I have lost all my conscience, someone can actually do it?!
