Chapter 149: Black Water Flows Out of the Mountains

The study was quiet for a while, so quiet that you could hear the sound of a needle dropping.

"Where is your salt, don't come forward in this matter, tell me your appeal, and I will distribute the money you deserve."

Finally, Xiao Wuyan spoke.

Shen Ru couldn't help but look at Xiao Wuyan in puzzlement, why couldn't she come forward?

"Don't you still think I'll do a lot of things for you, why don't you let me come forward?"

What do you think, Shen Ru just opened her mouth to say something, didn't she still want her to go to the Western Regions, and still wanted her to act as a lobbyist for Zhao Zongbing?

"More on that later. Do you want to be manipulated by others? ”

"As for me, the teacher is famous, and everything can be checked."

Xiao Wuyan said calmly, but his expression was still a little ugly.

Shen Ru didn't know what kind of mood she was feeling at the moment, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Aren't you afraid that someone will participate in you?" ”

"I have a breeze on my sleeves, I can stand up to investigation, this Liangzhou is poor and suffering, if I don't find another way, how can I ensure that everyone can afford to eat in the future?"

"At the root of it, it's still the history of the Ganzhou assassination, ignoring the law and trafficking in illicit salt!"

Xiao Wuyan said frankly, and finally scolded the history of Ganzhou assassination.

Shen Ruyu looked at Xiao Wuyan and couldn't help but say, "You are so poor! ”

still has an attitude that I am poor and I am reasonable, and when I am an official, I think Xiao Wuyan is like this, and she doesn't know what to say.

Xiao Wuyan, who was disgusted by Shen Ru and said that he was poor, turned dark.

"Shen Ru, you are also from the Hou Mansion, I have no objection to you making money, but can you look at the law and know what you can and can't do?"

"But throughout the ages, the most profitable ones are not allowed by the law, didn't Lord Xiao find out?"

Shen Ru said sharply.

Xiao Wuyan's eyes were very indescribable.

"Also, since you still remember to do things for me, if Zhao Gongming really goes to your house to catch up with your Fu Bo, you can still knock on the side and remind him that someone wants the Western Regions to invade the border."

"Oh, that fine salt ......"

"You pretend, I'll ask Lu Yi to take someone to get it tomorrow night."

"As for the money, I'll give it to you after it's done."

Xiao Wuyan's words made Shen Ru a little unwilling, but for the sake of Xiao Wuyan's responsibility for her to sell illicit salt, she didn't care so much.

"By the way, if the border is so strict, how can the Yan family's caravan get out?"

Shen Ru suddenly rose up and asked, "Lord Xiao, can I go out with the Yan family's caravan to have a look?" I'll make you money! ”

"Don't even think about it right now!"

Xiao Wuyan felt that Shen Ru was a little too open, wasn't the Shen family short of money?

"That'...... When can it be? ”

Shen Ru also tried to fight for it.

"Shen Ru, are you too idle? If you are too idle, you may wish to join me to see the excavation of the river. ”

Xiao Wuyan proposed, "However, your daughter is too ostentatious, so you might as well dress up as my scholar." ”

"I ...... Scholar? ”

Shen Ru pointed at herself, "No, even if I disguise myself as a man, I will be your guard." ”

The corners of Xiao Wuyan's mouth twitched slightly.

"Okay, yes, after you bring all the fine salt, I will ask Lu Yi to inform you in advance."

Speaking of which, Shen Ru can only give up, as long as she doesn't lose money, it's okay to make less.

It's just that Xiao Wuyan didn't let her out of Liangzhou, and she was still a little disappointed in her heart!

Shen Ru said goodbye, and after returning home, he also packed the fine salt in the space into several large vats, and waited for Lu Yi to transport it away.

"Miss, this is given to Thorn Shi's side, is there any money?"

On the day of transporting salt, it was completed with the help of the three of Cuixi.

Afterwards, Cui Xi couldn't help asking.

"Don't mention it, not curing me of the crime of selling illicit salt is already Lord Xiao's open side. He said that he would not give me the money until the salt was sold, and as for how much he gave, it depends on how much he sold! ”

Shen said as if pretending to be lost.

"But you eldest lady, I found a job to be a guard for Lord Xiao."

"That'...... Do you get paid? ”

An Qiao asked at the right time.

Shen Ru was stunned for a moment, and then said with annoyance: "I forgot to ask, it's just that, I definitely didn't think about it." ”

Soon, Shen Ru was notified to go with Xiao Wuyan to check the river excavation.

Shen Ru, dressed in a cyan robe, is a handsome man.

When Xiao Wuyan saw it, his brows furrowed.

"Can you make your face blacker, it's not like it's white."

"Lord Xiao, are you jealous of my whiteness?"

Shen Ru teased, "There's no way, it's hard to give up on your natural beauty!" ”

"Nonsense!" Xiao Wuyan looked away, not wanting to see Shen Ruxiao's eyebrows like a crescent moon.

At the excavation site of the river, Shen Ru saw a few familiar figures, but she stood on the embankment and was not discovered.

"According to this number, Lord Xiao, I think digging a river is just around the corner!"

Shen Ru looked at the excavation work in full swing and couldn't help but sigh.

"That is, if the river is dug up, Lord Xiao, what are you going to do with these people?"

"This official is not an ungrateful person, and if the river is dug up, the exiles will be spared hard labor."

Xiao Wuyan had already thought about it, "When the time comes, as long as they don't go out of Liangzhou, they can do some other work in Liangzhou if they want." ”

Shen Ru was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xiao Wuyan, is he so soft-hearted?

"But so many people, in Liangzhou, if they want to survive, they can always find a way out, and when the time comes, isn't it a kind of development for Liangzhou?"

Hearing Xiao Wuyan continue, Shen Ru couldn't help but nodded.

The original intention of exile was to allow criminals to go to the barren land to open up wasteland, wasn't it?

After inspecting the excavation process of the entire river, Xiao Wuyan also took Shen Ru to visit some villages and hills.

"Hey, it's really strange, how can there be black water in the mountains, there is no way to farm at all."

"Could it be that the mountain god is angry, but there was no harvest last year, what to worship the mountain god!"

Walking on the road at the foot of a mountain, Shen Ru heard the oncoming villagers walking and talking with a depressed face.

"Master Xiao, did you hear what they said, do you want to go and see?"

Shen Ru suggested.

"Zi is silent, and the strange force is confused."

Xiao Wuyan said with a straight face, "The harvest of the fields is not good, and it has nothing to do with the mountain gods or anything." ”

This man...... Is this the point?

"Blackwater, didn't you hear them say Blackwater?"

Shen Ru couldn't help but say emphatically.

"There is already a lack of water, and the black water may just be muddy water mixed with impurities."

Xiao Wuyan said that the farmers did not have a good harvest for various reasons, and what he wanted was to solve the problem.

Shen Ru also had nothing to say, but while walking on the field road, he heard good sights all over the black water.

"It's really unlucky, the black water flows into the hole I dug, and I can't use the water I stored, and I don't know what the black water is, like a layer of oil floating on the water."

"Lord Xiao, let's go take a look."

Black water, floating oil flowers, Shen Ru was shocked, looked up at this low mountain, and his heart was pounding.

"Or, give me this mountain!"
