Chapter 123: First Arrival in Blackstone City (Part 3)

Of course Sun Mingzhe didn't know what Sun Xiao thought, but in any case, his brother, the general, was at the end, if nothing else, he would take over this class next year, such an important position, Zhao Zhenzhen had already begun to help him operate, and he also wanted to show his strength here, and it was best to kill Shang Weiyang, who annoyed him.

So he specially asked his brother out in code today to learn more about Shang Weiyang, he knew that his brother must have something to hide, otherwise he would not suffer such a big loss, but he didn't have anything to do with Sun Xiao he wanted to take over.

Sure enough, between the brothers, Sun Xiao still told Shang Weiyang about the wool trade with him, but he still didn't say anything about the loss of 200,000 soldiers.

In the next few days, Wang Qi visited and learned everything he needed to know, but he still found nothing. The prince also wanted to go to Black Rock City as soon as possible to investigate, so that he could return to Beijing after the investigation. He had already found that the place in Black Dragon City was very deserted, and the streets were not lively at all, and even a little deserted, so the prince who was used to the city life was very uncomfortable.

The prince didn't know that Black Dragon City, as a county town, was originally very lively, but now this situation was completely caused by Sun Xiaoyi, and only Wang Qi knew about this matter among the trio, and he found a large number of empty houses in Black Dragon City during his visit.

There was nothing to investigate in Black Dragon City, and the three of them were ready to go to Black Rock City to have a look, and at noon that day, the three of them hurried to Black Rock City.

When they arrived in the Valley of the Fallen Gods, they found that this place had been burned to the ground, and Wang Qi keenly discovered that something might have happened here, but it had been almost two months since the last battle, and the three of them did not find anything special and continued to hurry. In addition to the boundary of Black Dragon City, in three days, he directly went to the cement road paved in Black Rock City.

The three of them all know cement, and Huaxia Entertainment City is made of cement and steel, which is expensive. Seeing the cement road, the three of them all felt it, and this Black Rock City was probably not simple.

Sure enough, after walking a few miles, patches of fertile fields appeared in front of them, with square farms stretching continuously, and some farms even specialized in growing cotton melons, fruits and vegetables and other flying food crops. This took all three by surprise. They knew the population of Blackstone City, and it was impossible for a little person to cultivate so much fertile land.

This made the three of them have a trace of curiosity about Black Rock City, and immediately sped up and rushed to Black Rock City, and even almost collided with a tractor pulling dung on the way, which made the prince even more surprised, such a big guy was actually made of steel, and he could actually run by himself, if it weren't for Wang Qi and Sun Mingzhe's urging, he would even have to drive it himself.

Due to the construction of the highway and the fact that the vicinity of Black Rock City is a plain area, the three of them did not take a carriage but rode wildly, and it only took one day to reach Black Rock City.

The tall city walls, the carefully inspected city guards, and the endless stream of merchants made them unwilling to believe that this was Black Rock City, but the three big characters of Black Rock City on the city gate told them that all this was true. When the three of them were about to enter the city, they were stopped by the city guards, and then they knew that they must have ID cards to enter Black Rock City.

The three of them discussed and decided not to identify themselves first, entered the investigation under a pseudonym, and exchanged 10,000 yuan for each person at the city gate office to apply for ID cards, and the three of them entered the city smoothly.

When exchanging RMB, the crown prince, as a member of the imperial family, instinctively became interested in this new currency, and he wanted to govern the entire Great Qin State in the future, and he felt that paper money must have its merits.

After entering the city, the three of them felt a completely different atmosphere from Black Dragon City, the whole city was clean and bright, the streets were extremely wide, but there were a lot of people. A rough estimate shows that the population of Blackstone City must have exceeded the information recorded on it.

The three of them didn't know that due to the successful defense against demon beasts and the great improvement of public security and medical care in the past two years, the population of flying natural deaths had been greatly reduced, and with the merchants coming and going from Green Water City, the newly born population and the population of Black Dragon City Fortress City, the permanent population of Black Rock City had reached 800,000. If he continues to successfully resist the demon beasts this year, Shang Weiyang's next step will be to start development and construction outside the city wall.

The three of them didn't know about this, and after asking for directions, the three of them successfully checked into the Huaxia Hotel. The three of them gathered in the prince's presidential suite and began to discuss the matter of the investigation.

"This Black Rock City is not simple, just looking at the current scale, there should be no less requisitioned labor, it has only been two years, and it has developed into the current state, how much financial resources is needed? As soon as Sun Mingzhe opened his mouth, he set the tone for Shang Weiyang.

"This is not necessarily, Shang Weiyang, I understand, his means of collecting money are incredible, just in the imperial capital, I heard that he made tens of billions of gold coins, and now managing a city, there should be more means to make money. Wang Qi retorted through his knowledge of Shang Weiyang.

Seeing that his opinion was refuted, Sun Mingzhe couldn't help but say: "So what, how many rich people are in the imperial capital, and how many are here." Isn't he starting from the people to collect money? There must be something wrong with this business Weiyang. ”

Just when Wang Qi was about to refute, the prince spoke: "Okay, don't argue." Whether there is a problem or not must be investigated before conclusions can be drawn, Wang Qi, although you are here with us, but your main responsibility is to investigate Zhao Guanhai's death, and this matter is entrusted to you. Obviously, the crown prince was biased towards Sun Mingzhe, and asked Wang Qi to investigate Zhao Guanhai's death alone and break him away.

Wang Qi had no choice but to shut up, after all, he was the king and he was the minister. Seeing that Wang Qi didn't speak, the prince continued: "Brother Sun is right, such a city, just the number of people needed to build the city wall in two years is not a small number, and do you remember the cement road we took when we came?"

I've probably calculated that the construction of those roads alone is equivalent to the labor required for this wall, and there is also the Huaxia Hotel where we are staying now. I believe that this is not something that can be solved simply with a lot of money. "Obviously, the prince is determined to find problems with Shang Weiyang.

Over the next few days, the crown prince and Sun Mingzhe went around collecting evidence of Shang Weiyang's construction and forced labor, while Wang Qi was the one who fled from Black Dragon City alone to investigate the matter about Zhao Guanhai.

Shang Weiyang knows everything about the actions of the three of them, but he doesn't plan to take the initiative to contact and expose his intelligence ability, he is waiting, and when the three of them take the initiative to come to him, he wants to put on a show for the prince.
