According to Shi Jingtang's confession, Cao Linzhi once used his name to embezzle about 3,000 kilograms of grain transport, and all of these grains were resold, making a net profit of about 130,000 taels of silver. During his time in office, he embezzled about 1.29 million yuan in large and small matters such as construction of canal transportation and river transportation, and he also installed his own people in the canal transportation office.

After these crimes were recorded, Feng Hao immediately called Xia Luqi and asked if Cao Linzhi was chasing him or not.

As a result, the news they gave was that they would not allow them to enter Wushipu Wharf at all.

"What, who is stationed at Wushipu Wharf?" Feng Hao asked in surprise.

Xia Luqi had arrived at Wushipu Wharf at this time, and the scene was very chaotic: "King, no one is stationed here, it is all a group of people transporting the canal."

This is over. If there is no one to guard Wushipu Wharf, it means that the soldiers and generals who are stationed have been killed by Cao Linzhi or have been lured out of the mountain.

You must know that he had deployed hundreds of troops at Wushipu Wharf, how could he say nothing?

Feng Hao hung up the phone and called Li Xiong from the Investigation Department, asking him to quickly find the signal from Wushipu and look for the garrison soldiers.

"Hey, Li Xiong?"

"Master, what happened?"

"You gather your people immediately and find the signal from Wushipu Pier. Xialuqi said that all the garrison soldiers at Wushipu Pier are gone."

"Okay, I'll look for it right away."

Soon, Li Xiong took everyone to a specific software on his mobile phone and began to look for missing soldiers in the direction of Wushipu. After searching on a large scale, they found very dense punctuation points.

After amplifying these punctuation points, confirming the signals of these punctuation points, these people are indeed missing garrison soldiers, but because they are moving, they should have been lured out of the mountain.

"Can the Wushipu guard Antai hear it?" Li Xiong called the Wushipu guard general with a signal band.

Antai, who had entered the woods, suddenly heard his cell phone ringing, and quickly took out his cell phone to respond: "I am Antai, I am Antai."

Li Xiong's heart suddenly felt relieved: "I am Li Xiong of the Investigation Department. The king asked you why you were not stationed in Wushipu and why did you come here?"

"Cao Linzhi said that there were bandits here, so he asked us to come here together to search and encircle." An Tai replied in a very confused manner.

Li Xiong said helplessly: "You have been deceived by Cao Linzhi. General Xia Luqi is in Wushipu at this time. They have been stopped by Cao Linzhi's people."

An Tai was still kept in the dark and didn't know anything. After Li Xiong finished telling him about this, he understood everything.

"Cao Linzhi has now been included in the list of hunting. He is suspected of corruption and has violated the law of Zhaoguo. If he is allowed to escape, you will be blamed!" Li Xiong told the seriousness of this matter.

After hearing that Cao Linzhi was a corrupt official, An Tai sat down and patted his thigh angrily: "Actually, I have been wary of some things, but he didn't let me get in touch with the affairs of the big and small canal transportation!"

Li Xiong continued, "The king ordered you to return to Wushipu immediately and intercept Cao Linzhi."

Antai immediately stood up and ordered all the soldiers under his command to rush back to Wushipu, but they were confused.

These soldiers returned to Wushipu with hatred, but they dared to say that there were bandits who were in trouble and that it would be difficult to relieve their hatred if they didn't kill them. What's more, their salary was deducted over the years, and they could only get half of their monthly salary.

"Hurry!! Keep up!" Antai rode on the war horse and ran wildly. Seeing the crowded Wushipu in front, it was already covered with water and could not be restrained.

Shaluqi looked at the group of people and hurried over and asked, "Whose subordinates are you?"

Antai stepped forward and replied: "The last general Antai is the guardian of Wushipu. He just received news from Lord Li Xiong, and we were deceived by Cao Linzhi!"

After Xia Luqi integrated these things, in order to solve the worries of An Tai and others, Cao Linzhi falsely sent an order to go to the west to encircle and suppress the bandits. As a result, he got news from Li Xiong and they rushed back.

"Get out of my way. You are all colleagues from Zhaoguo. Don't you know that? If Cao Linzhi leads a group of grain-filled canal ships north, you will be accomplices. According to Zhaoguo's laws, they will all beheaded and apologize!" An Tai walked to these small canal transport officials who blocked Xia Luqi and scolded him angrily.

These people were panicked. What they didn't know was that Shi Jingtang, Cao Linzhi's protective umbrella, had betrayed him, and the officials who were with Shi Jingtang had been arrested.

"Now, Shi Jingtang has been sentenced to justice and admitted his fault. If you still want to shelter Cao Linzhi, you should be punished as an accomplice and be punished according to the serious crime!" Xia Luqi knew very well that if the accomplice was stubborn and still continued to shelter the criminal, his crimes were still serious, and all of them were beheaded according to the same crime.

When the group of people heard that the Grand Tutor was also arrested, they still didn't believe it. After showing them the photos of Shi Jingtang, the group of people slowly retreated and gave way out.

"Everyone, come with me and catch people!" Shaluqi turned over and dismounted and took the crowd to the location of the canal ship.

At this time, Cao Linzhi heard a group of people outside saying that they were calling for the arrest of Cao Linzhi. Everyone on the ship was panicked. They saw that the online propaganda criminal Cao Linzhi had not been arrested yet. If anyone caught him, he would offer a reward of 500,000 taels of silver and grant him the title of 10,000 marquis.

"Sir, look..." The clerk beside him took his cell phone and looked at Cao Linzhi.

After reading the news on his phone, Cao Linzhi quickly snatched the phone from his hand and threw it into the sea.

"Sir, you..." the clerk next to him shouted at the thrown cell phone at the sea.

Cao Linzhi scolded him angrily and said, "Go away quickly, go quickly!"

He couldn't help but say this group of people, pointing at the crew member who was holding a knife and asking him to drive the ship quickly. These people understood that the people behind Cao Linzhi must not be provoked.

"Do you dare to mess with the group of people behind Cao Linzhi..." Some people whispered.

"Driving the ship quickly, otherwise you will know the person behind Cao Linzhi." Another person said.

Xia Luqi and others rushed over with swords. The ship had already started. Cao Linzhi hid in the cabin. Looking at Xia Luqi chasing behind him, he felt relieved. He felt that he should go north to the Song Dynasty and take the food north to the Song Dynasty.

Looking at Cao Linzhi's figure as he was leaving, Xia Luqi immediately ordered everyone to board the ship to chase Cao Linzhi. Since they did not have cannons on the ship, they could only rely on the archers' shooting ability to shoot the people on the ship.

"King, Cao Linzhi ran away with the food on the ship!" Xia Luqi called Feng Hao and told the news.
