The Crown Prince I’m Raising Has Turned Evil
Chapter 42 Someone intercepted the road
The reason why the Black Water Wharf is called the Black Water Wharf is because in winter, there will be faint heat and dark brown impurities on the surface of the lake.
But except for the Black Water Wharf, there is no such phenomenon in other places, so when the common people wash their clothes in winter, they just need to go a little farther to avoid it.
After all, if those black impurities get on the clothes, they can't be washed off. They poor people only have two clothes all year round, so they can't bear to get dirty.
Just as a group of women and women were doing laundry and men in their prime were fishing, a man stood on the black water pier and shouted!
"The young master of the rich family wants to hire someone to do the work! As long as you have the strength and the tools to do farm work, you can be employed regardless of gender. It costs two and a half taels of silver a day, come quickly!"
His shout echoed on the lake and spread so far that everyone couldn't help but raise their heads. Although they felt that the other party might be lying, after all, it was just some work, so why is it worth half a tael? But there were still a lot of idle people running over to join in the fun, and after a while, a large group of people gathered at the pier!
Xie Linlang was sitting on a black steed. At this time, she had already taken off her cloak, revealing the moon-white robe inside.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, everyone was wearing thick and swollen clothes, but she was the only one who didn't seem to be afraid of the cold at all, and was still wearing a long gown.
The robe embroidered with brocade patterns blows in the wind, making her look even more handsome and unparalleled. She is holding a horsewhip and pointing at everyone.
"Everyone stand up! Divide into three groups and listen to my arrangement!"
Her voice is not loud, but it can be heard clearly by everyone present. At first, everyone thought it was a lie, but seeing her so eye-catching and flamboyant, they were instantly convinced and bowed their heads to obey.
Seeing that the gathered people were very obedient, Xie Linlang nodded in satisfaction, then walked to the first group with the reins.
"You guys come out! From where I'm standing to the pier, dig down in a row! As long as you work for an hour, there will be half a tael of silver!"
The group didn't know why, so they held the tools and didn't move, while Xie Linlang had already walked to the next place, behaving humanely to the second group.
"You all form a line from here, and you dig to the pier in the same way. The requirements are the same, and so is the bounty."
Immediately afterwards, she walked to the last spot and said to the third group, "Dig this line, start right away, everyone, whoever digs out the black spring first, I will give you ten taels of gold! And you..."
She looked at the human who helped her and said, "And you are in charge of supervision! Once the black spring water is dug out, it will be poured into the river immediately. If you can make the black springs spread all over this black water river, then everyone, I will Twelve taels of silver!"
After she finished speaking, she threw out a money bag and threw it into the man's hand.
The middle-aged man was frightened by Xie Linlang's words. After he received the money bag, he opened it tremblingly. For a moment, the real gold and silver inside dazzled everyone's eyes!
Immediately, various gasping sounds came out frequently, Xie Linlang saw that everyone was staring at the money bag in a daze, the whip in his hand was raised, and it hit the boulder on the side with a "slap"!
The boulder was smashed to pieces! The sound of the explosion brought everyone back to their senses. After seeing the fate of the boulder, they looked at Xie Linlang with panic in an instant!
"Hurry up and dig! My son promises everything! But if someone is dishonest, it's like this stone!"
Her voice made everyone jump! They quickly picked up the things in their hands and started digging honestly.
The person holding the money bag over there felt that his feet were about to go limp. He walked up to Xie Linlang tremblingly and asked in a trembling voice.
"My lord, what if we can't dig out the black spring water..."
Hearing this, Xie Linlang said in a deep voice, looking at the black water pier that overflows with black water every year.
"There will be. In the future, this place will definitely become the treasure land of our Xiangcheng!"

On the other side, Lian Ke's boat was already approaching Chang'an Wharf. On the Wangjiang Building beside Chang'an Wharf, the imperial envoy asked suddenly while holding a teacup, frowning and looking at the river outside the window.
"Whose ships are those ships? Are there still so many cargo ships in Xiangcheng?"
The magistrate Tao who was carefully accompanying him on the side heard it, and said quickly, "That is... that is the boat of the Zongjiang Trading Company. Their owner is the Imperial Merchant. This time, they are here to transport tin."
The imperial envoy didn't care about the fact that there was a tin workshop in Xiangcheng. After all, he had seen a lot of mines, so he naturally didn't like Tao's appearance of using a tin workshop as a cash cow.
He also has no intention of interfering in this matter. Anyway, it won't be long before Xie Linlang will be in charge of this Xiangcheng.
Thinking about it, he asked again, "Didn't you say that Xie Linlang and the others would arrive by water? Why haven't they disappeared yet?"
County Magistrate Tao touched his chubby belly and thought, that Xie might be dead by now, but he said with a smile on his face.
"He should be here soon? Soon..."

The cargo ship was moving very slowly. After Qin Jue broke the strings suddenly, he stopped playing.
Lian Ke originally enjoyed listening to it, but a broken string is not a good sign. He frowned, stretched out his hand to call for his subordinates, and asked in a deep voice.
"Where are you going?"
The subordinate replied, "My lord, we are almost at Chang'an Wharf. After passing Chang'an and going forward for an hour, you will be able to reach Hongsha Valley."
Lian Ke let out a "hmm", he knew very well that as long as he was in the water, even if there were pursuers, he would be unable to do anything to him, but why, he was a little uneasy?
correct! He knows where he is uneasy! They blatantly assassinated the court officials and kidnapped another person. Even if Xie Linlang didn't see who he kidnapped, they shouldn't just let it go like this!
It's so quiet, there's not even a single pursuer up to now, what the hell is she doing?
Lian Ke wanted to sit up, but soon, he stared at Qin Jue and sneered again.
"...It seems that Xie Linlang doesn't know you at all. You have been invited away by me for so long, and she hasn't noticed that the people around her are wrong. After so many years of seeing each other, her sensitivity is far worse than before!"
Qin Jue didn't care at first, but after listening to the other party, he actually knew the former Xie Linlang?
"Have you seen her before?"
Hearing Qin Jue's question, Lian Ke suddenly burst out laughing!
"Yes, of course I have! Back then, she almost killed me! It's a pity...she didn't kill me back then. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely make her regret it!"
His words were full of murderous intent, which made Qin Jue's eyes turn cold.
But soon he laughed, after the Red Sand Valley, this person will not have another chance.
Lian Ke didn't notice Qin Jue's eyes. After drinking a lot of wine, he seemed to be completely immersed in memories.
Back then, the scene of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood made him terrified, but now, just thinking about it would make him tremble all over and get excited!
I saw him staring at the ground, his pupils flickering, and he said insanely.
"Xie Linlang... Xie Linlang really looks better the longer she grows... Do you know? My brother fell in love with her back then, that's why his heart was dug out and his corpse died... Haha, hahahaha! If I If I have a chance, I must fulfill my brother's last wish! Xie Linlang! Her taste must be amazing!"
Hearing a "bang", Qin Jue got up suddenly, and the guqin in front of him was knocked over!
Lian Ke immediately looked at him with lightning eyes, and before he could speak, there was an urgent report from his subordinates outside.
"Report--! My lord! Someone intercepted the road on the lake!!"
