The three of them were a little stunned. Crossing the river and crossing the sea, did Mr. Xie want to sell the goods abroad
How is that possible? Those water bandits couldn't let them pass.
Huang Lao was also a little surprised. Before, Xie Linlang only said that he would take a circle on the water. He thought that he would not exceed the field of Wanjiang. In this way, they only need to send more people to escort them. Even if they encounter water bandits, they are not afraid. The bandits are not collectively dispatched like hundreds or thousands.
But if you want to go out to the river or even to the sea, it will not be a small fight. Those water bandits will definitely assemble to block it. Will there be a naval battle at that time
Xie Linlang saw their concerns and said with a smile.
"Let's prepare first. As for the things you are worried about, I will find a way. Since I intend to do this, I will definitely find a way to do it, and you, as long as you do what I have explained."
Thinking of this ruthless character who was said to have burned 20 or 30 boats in front of him, the few people who were originally bewildered by Xie Linlang's gentle smile, immediately shivered and agreed again and again.
Then, Xie Linlang asked them to find Xiaoxi. Now that Xiaoxi is her treasurer, she has to go to him if she wants to get money.
Huang Lao followed them away. At this time, Ru Nian came forward, handed her a glass of water, and said worriedly.
"Sir, if you want to confront the water bandits in Wanjiang, you must not take it lightly. The water bandits in Wanjiang are very powerful. In the past, Zeguo sent their most powerful water army to encircle and suppress them. It was defeated, because the boats of the water bandits were better than those of Zeguo, and the water bandits were more courageous than those soldiers, and they killed people without blinking an eye.”
After listening to Xie Linlang, she raised her eyebrows curiously, "Zeguo is already the overlord of the sea, even better than Zeguo's boat. It seems that there are capable people among the water bandits!"
Ru Nian said that he originally wanted to dissuade her, but seeing that she was staring at the water bandits more, he couldn't help laughing.
"My lord, it's really strange. The water bandits are rampant in the curved river, and it's too late for others to hide from it. Why do you still want to provoke it?"
Xie Linlang said while hammering her shoulder, "It's not too domineering, they haven't robbed Xiangcheng in the past six months!"
Ru Nian smiled and shook his head, "That's because they don't know that Xiangcheng has changed. When Tao County magistrate ruled Xiangcheng, the people here were poor and miserable, and the money in Tao County magistrate's hand was not worth it. It's worth them going ashore to grab it, so they don't come to Xiangcheng, if they know that Xiangcheng is no longer the Xiangcheng it used to be, then Sir, you will have a headache."
When Xie Linlang heard the words, her heart suddenly froze, and at this moment, Ru Nian thought of something, and bent down and said in her ear.
"By the way, my lord, Your Highness asked me to tell you that the leader of the rebel army in the southeast, Dong Ge, was beaten by the imperial court, and he has already brought people south." He said with some worry, "I won't fight. Come to Xiangcheng?"
After Xie Linlang heard this, she narrowed her eyes and said, "There's another rebel army..."
During the past few years in Qin, there have been uprisings almost every year, and those who are powerful will send people to suppress them, and those who make small troubles will just let them make trouble.
And this time the rebel army was attacked by the imperial court, not only was not suppressed, but also had the energy to retreat, it seemed that the trouble was very fierce.
This is the disadvantage of the limited information network. If it was in the past, why did she only know the news now.
She reassured Ru Niandao, "Don't worry, Xiangcheng is a border city, and the mountains and roads are far away. In their opinion, it is still a poor and broken place, and it is impossible to come... But this uprising seems to be quite moving. Do you know why they revolted?"
Ru Nian beat her shoulders while frowning and said, "It is said that there was a flood in the east, but the grain allocated by the court was all from Chen, and there was very little silver, so the common people revolted."
Xie Linlang frowned. When she went to the disaster relief, no one dared to give her Chen Mi. Was it the people from the Ministry of Housing who watched the dishes, or did the people below exploit them too much
Thinking like this, she hooked her fingers, and Ru Nian immediately bent over and brought her to her lips.
"Tell Mr. Liu to use all the money in his hand to buy food for emergency use."
Confucian Nian was a little puzzled, "Are you worried that there will be disaster victims coming over without food relief? No, after the disaster, the disaster victims usually only go north or go to some more affluent places, and it is impossible to come to this far city."
Xie Linlang shook her head, "Be prepared, you also said that the rebels are coming, although I don't think they will run so far to find them, but if they come, they will besiege Xiangcheng, and the people in the city will be finished. All in all, it’s definitely a good idea to prepare early.”
"Yes."
Ru Nian nodded and turned around.
To be honest, he didn't expect Xie Linlang to be such a careful and cautious person. The rebels just had the intention of going south, and they didn't necessarily come, so they began to plan ahead.
And this also shows that she really cares about the people in Xiangcheng, so much money is spent, just to buy peace of mind, such a spirit is really within reach.

On the other hand, Qin Jue has been in the capital for more than a month.
More than half a year is enough to make the world forget a lot of things and let down their vigilance. In his persevering search, he really found other survivors of the Xia family!
And not just one or two, but a dozen or so, all of them women!
I have to say that the General Yin who copied the Xiafu family was really daring! He hid almost all the good-looking women in the Xia Mansion, and after playing with himself, he secretly "sold" them to others...
All this was done very secretly. If Qin Jue hadn't been staring at him all the time and carefully looking for clues, he really didn't know which houses those women were sold to by him.
After bringing out all those women, Qin Jue went to Yin Mansion that night and set a fire!
But instead of killing that General Yin, he castrated him and made him crippled!
Do you like to spoil women? Then be a eunuch for the rest of your life! And a disabled general, even if he didn't die in the fire, he could only live in hell for the rest of his life.
Here, hunting for firelight, and walking in brocade clothes at night, the emperor and teacher there, as promised, sent Qin Jue's aunt and cousin to Xiangcheng.
Xie Linlang was still a little stunned when she heard the report, but Ru Nian secretly explained the situation to her, and she came back to her senses.
A survivor of the Xia family
Also, the Xia family has a big business. When the house was raided, in the chaos, if you wanted to hide a few women, it would be easy.
It's just that sometimes, living may be more difficult than dying, and Xie Linlang felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about what they might have experienced.
Thinking of this, she personally ran outside the mansion to meet her. The moment the car curtain was lifted, Yu Ranxiang, who was described as withered and withered, screamed and hurriedly shrank into the arms of her mother, Xia Junshu.
Seeing that she was afraid, Xie Linlang said quickly.
"Miss Yu, it's me, Xie Linlang."
