Chapter 464 sleepy(1/2)
After Wang'er couldn't ask for anything, he had these people locked up. Only one person was left to lead the way and let the boatman sail the boat to Yunshui City as mentioned by the guards.
However, the person leading the way had no idea where Yunshuicheng was, or in other words, he couldn't tell the current location because there was thick fog all around.
In fact, they were already within the scope of Yunshui City, but the mist exhaled by the monster blocked the entire water area, making it difficult for them to see clearly.
Wanger has his own way of doing this.
She made a sword move with her left hand and pointed forward, and the demon-slaying sword that had been floating beside her roared out, like a meteor streaking across the sky, cutting through the thick fog.
When the demon-slaying sword patrolled the river and found the location of Yunshui City, it suddenly shone brightly, and the rays of light immediately spread out.
Under the light of the sword, a clear shadow appeared in the blue mist, pointing the direction for the building ship.
Wang'er asked the boat to drive in the direction of Qingying.
At the same time, Qingying seemed to be aware of the danger and took the initiative to take action.
This movement was like a landslide, like the ground shaking, and the river became crazy because of it, setting off large waves like high walls, constantly slapping the building and boat.
"He's going to run away!" Huniu said anxiously.
According to the confessions of the guards, this so-called Yunshui City was built on the back of a huge monster. If the monster floated or sank, the thousands of women on the monster's back might die in Ningjiang.
Wang'er also took this into consideration.
She made a sword gesture with both hands, "Sleepy!"
Canglang!
A sword cry resounded throughout the world.
Then, the demon-slaying sword dazzling in the air was born with two, two, four, and four, ten thousand swords. In an instant, it covered the river surface and even plunged into the water. These swords roared and shone with sharp light. If the monsters had any
Any abnormal movement will immediately allow the monsters to taste the feeling of being pierced by ten thousand swords.
The monster was timid and stopped immediately.
Not only that, it also made a whimpering cry for mercy.
"Let's go."
Wang'er waved his hand and let the building boat continue to move forward.
After about half an hour, Wang'er and the others finally landed on the so-called Yunshui City.
The so-called Yunshuicheng is just an island formed by accumulation of sediment over time. Its length and width are equivalent to half of Yancheng. The land on the island is fertile and covered with weeds. It drinks river water and rainwater, and only eats some wild fruits.
, most of which require external supply.
Those women were placed in hastily built thatched houses, and the less beautiful ones could have a cave dwelling or a wooden house to shelter themselves - here sex became a kind of currency, a symbol of status and power, and there were even differences between rich and poor.
Struggle is when mediocre people gather to fight against beautiful people.
At the same time, they also became slaves.
What they are fighting for is nothing more than getting more things with their looks.
After Wang'er landed on the island, he deeply understood what Lu Bai once said: There is actually no difference between humans and animals.
These people are now nervous because of Wang'er's group of uninvited guests.
In other words, they are frightened by the sword hanging over their heads and the ensuing turmoil, because for them, the current turmoil is likely to be a darker hell.
**
Beijing.
Lu Bai took a carriage to Zhao Prison early in the morning.
In midsummer, early morning is the only cool time, but the Qinhuai River is a bit dull.
The usual bustling crowds of people disappeared, and most of the shops along the street were closed. Even if they were still open, there were only a few people in front of the doors. There were also very few vendors selling their stalls, but there were many more beggars on the street without realizing it.
There are many idle people looking around.
His carriage turned a corner and came to the bustling long street, where he saw the Qinhuai River.
The merchant ships that used to come and go constantly on the Qinhuai River have disappeared. Now there are only sparkling water surfaces and boats floating on the pier.
On this long street, many people appeared in front of Lu Bai's carriage.
They were not ordinary passers-by, but a group of butchers.
Some of them were sitting on the steps along the street, or leaning against the wall in a daze. Someone shouted, "Commander Lu is here!" These people immediately stood up and surrounded Lu Bai's carriage.
The driver and the disciple immediately grasped the hilt of the sword in their hands.
They glanced at the group of greasy-faced butchers and asked, "What do you want to do?"
However, the butchers ignored him and surrounded Lu Bai's car, pleading and shouting: "Master Lu, please give me a way to live, Master Lu."
Lu Bai remained unmoved in the car.
More and more butchers gathered.
After a while, another group of people came out of the street. When they saw Lu Bai's carriage, they immediately raised their arms and shouted, "The person named Lu is here." This time, the so-called official title was omitted.
As he raised his arms and shouted, a group of people came over and surrounded the butcher outside.
Just like that, Lu Bai's carriage was surrounded by six floors with three floors inside and three floors outside. For a while, the carriage could not move forward.
This does not include the pointing people standing nearby.
An aunt looked at the rotten vegetable leaves in the frame and felt that if the rotten vegetable leaves were not hard-won, they would have been quietly thrown on Lu Bai's car.
In one sentence, Lu Bai made everyone angry.
And this public anger was the result of Lu Bai's arrest of Tang Zhu half a month ago.
"What are you doing, what are you doing!"
Fang Qianhu rushed over with his men. He held the handle of the knife in his hand and glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, "You dare to stop Jin Yiwei Tongzhi, you are lawless, do you want to go to Zhao Prison?"
"If we go to Zhao Prison, we will go to Zhao Prison. As long as we release the Tang people, we can go to hell!"
Someone shouted in the crowd.
As soon as Fang Qianhu looked at him, the man shrank his head.
Fang Qianhu knew that he couldn't take someone on the spot now. Taking someone now would be like adding fuel to the fire. He pulled out the handle of the knife with a wolfish sound and said, "You are being deceived, I can spare you for the time being, but if you pester Mr. Lu again, I will
You won’t be polite with this knife.”
Under the shining knife, everyone couldn't help but feel a little timid and were shocked for a moment.
Fang Qianhu took advantage of everyone's timidity and hurriedly winked at the coachman. Then a group of guards in golden uniforms tightly protected Lu Bai's car and walked towards Beizhen Fusi.
After the car turned a corner and disappeared from those people, Fang Qianhu rode up to the window of Lu Bai's car and said, "Sir, the supply of fish has been cut off today. There are no fish from several rivers. In addition -"
Fang Qianhu was silent for a moment, "The various grain ships that were supposed to arrive a few days ago have not arrived. The price of grain in the capital is now rising day by day. If it doesn't arrive again-"
He didn't say anything, he knew that Lu Bai knew the result.
Lu Bai said nothing.
He just raised the car window and saw that the woman who sued the Jianzhai disciples for her son's life was still kneeling in front of the Tiandi Temple. But the woman was in a very bad condition, her clothes were ragged, her hair was unkempt, and some people were pointing fingers at her.
Click and spit from time to time.
These people did not dare to vent their anger on Lu Bai, but they still dared to vent their anger on women.
Lu Bai lowered the car curtain.
He sat in his seat unmoved and meditated.
It has to be said that after arresting Tang Zhu, the pressure that followed was indeed great.
First, the charcoal in the capital was cut off. Not only the teahouses and restaurants, but also the charcoal of ordinary people and the families of high-ranking officials and nobles were cut off. If the charcoal merchants had not kept close to the uterus and provided the charcoal in their hands and the scattered charcoal to the nobles in the palace first, it is estimated that Lu
The pressure on Lu Bai will be even greater. Even so, officials and common people all have complaints about Lu Bai.
Lu Bai also did not expect that Tang Zhu's Zhuyingtang was not only involved in all walks of life, but also almost monopolized all walks of life. As far as the charcoal business was concerned, all the business of delivering charcoal to the capital was almost monopolized by Zhuyingtang.
Now that Tang Zhuyi has been arrested, all the charcoal dealers in Zhuyingtang are out of stock and no longer produce charcoal.
Although some charcoal dealers near the capital heard that charcoal was expensive in the capital, they urgently burned charcoal and sent it to the capital to make huge profits. However, compared to the amount of charcoal used in the entire capital, these scattered charcoals were a drop in the bucket.
Lu Bai's only solution now is to find the charcoal dealers upstream of Zhuyingtang, bypass Zhuyingtang and transport the charcoal to the capital. But this is not easy, not to mention that the charcoal dealers in Beijing still control Zhuyingtang.
On hand.
It is not impossible to bypass the charcoal industry in a short period of time, but it is very difficult. Is it possible that the cost to be paid is very high?
Gu Qinghuan had already returned from the mountain gate.
She is already trying her best to deal with this matter, but a charcoal shop may be able to solve it in a short time with the help of high prices and the profit-seeking behavior of businessmen, with the help of time and money.
So, what about more industries?
Shortly after the charcoal shop was shut down, the pig row was soon shut down, and hundreds of pigs died in the wilderness. When Jin Yiwei found out, these pigs were already stinking.
Then came the boat shop, the wine shop, and now the food supply is about to be cut off - Speaking of which, if the Shen family, which is under the control of Lu Bai, is not in charge, and the Shen family is not working hard to manage and turn around, the silk shop is probably also going to be cut off.
With so many businesses shut down within half a month, even if Lu Qinghuan had the skills to turn things around, it would be difficult for him to turn the tide.
