Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

Although it was Gu Zhilan's doing to keep beautiful women to bribe ministers and condone the local governor to sell opium, the real beneficiary was King Yao!

These dirty things one after another were enough to make him suffer a great loss!

After a pause, Shen Xiyue continued, "I heard about Gu Zhilan from Cheng Congxian. She seems to be in the mountains."

Murong Xuan frowned: "Hiding in the mountains?"

Shen Xiyue didn't know how to tell him that Gu Zhilan was looking for iron ore to make steel. That kind of weapon that could make soldiers invincible on the battlefield was something that every superior would scramble for.

She even felt that she was extremely ugly at a certain moment. She wanted Gu Zhilan to die, but she also felt that Gu Zhilan's abilities should be preserved.

She said ambiguously: "It seems that they are looking for some iron ore."

Murong Xuan nodded and said, "I'll ask Mao Ping to take people to look for him."

Shen Xiyue hummed.

My mind was in a mess, so I simply stopped thinking about it. The more important thing at the moment was that the cargo ships loaded with opium were about to dock.

......

At the dock outside Hangzhou.

In the misty rain, more than a dozen large ships slowly approached the dock. Master He, a subordinate of Cheng Su, stood in the mist and rain, with his hands on his hips, and took a few deep breaths.

This batch of goods has finally arrived.

Master He narrowed his eyes and looked around the dock. "Why is it so quiet here today? Go get the unloading workers over here!"

After giving the instructions, Master He walked up to the top floor of the dock and put the opium into the warehouse, which was another huge sum of money.

Most of it was sent to the capital to give to His Royal Highness Prince Yao, a small part was kept in Lord Cheng's pocket, and a little bit was left behind, which was enough for Master He to live a comfortable life.

Not long after the guard left, he came back jogging with an old man. The guard was furious and said, "This is Old Niutou. Niu Da, the coolie boss at the dock, is his son. You can talk to our Master He yourself!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The old bullhead kept bowing and agreeing, "Master He, this is the situation. We can't unload the cargo at the dock today, nor tomorrow, nor the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid it won't be possible in this month."

"What?" Master He was stunned. "What do you mean? What happened?"

"Nothing happened, that's what happened,"

After all, Lao Niutou has been working at the docks for a lifetime and is knowledgeable. He is respectful to Master He, but he is not really afraid of him in his heart.

"It was the night before yesterday when our young master Cheng sent people to our dock to recruit workers to repair the river embankment in Suzhou. Each worker was paid one penny a day, and three meals were provided. He also said that there would be braised pork for every meal!

Master Cheng said that he needed more labor, and almost everyone at the dock went. Alas, Master He, you don’t know, I also want to go, what good conditions... But I’m old, and the young master doesn’t like it. "

When Master He heard that it was his own son who had called everyone away, he felt relieved. But when he heard that they were going to Suzhou to repair the river embankment, he immediately panicked and hurriedly ordered the guards:

"You watch the boat, I'll go talk to the adults!"

The guard agreed and ran ahead to find a car for Mr. He. Mr. He told the driver to go back to Hangzhou City and Cheng Mansion as quickly as possible.

The carriage was driving very fast. As soon as it arrived at the door, Master He jumped out and rushed in anxiously.

"Master!" The doorman came up to him hurriedly. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come from Suzhou and is sitting inside right now!"

"Is the Crown Prince here?"

Master He felt dizzy and his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Why didn’t he come earlier or later, but just when the opium was landing?

Master He stood at the door for a moment with a sullen face, then turned around and walked out. Today was an urgent matter, and they had to find the young master and the group of workers at the dock quickly!

He rode a fast horse and galloped non-stop for half a day, without even having time to drink water. He asked about the place where the river embankment was being repaired, and then spurred his horse to chase after them.

He frowned as he looked at the burly men working on the construction site. His temples were throbbing and he felt angry.

"Call the young master over here!" Master He waved his whip, pointed at Cheng Congxian, and gave orders to the people around him.

Cheng Congxian was busy.

Since he arrived in Suzhou City, Suzhou Prefect Tan Yichun treated him very politely. Not only did he call him "good nephew" all the time, he also kept praising him for his young talent. Even after he told the purpose of his visit, he immediately said that he was indeed a young talent!

Cheng Congxian felt that all the humiliation of being scolded behind his back for more than 20 years disappeared, and he was full of energy and vigor!

When he heard that Master He was coming to see him, he frowned and came over reluctantly.

"What are you doing here, Master He?" Cheng Congxian stood about ten steps away from Master He and asked with his head tilted.

"Oh my! Sir! What are you doing? Let him go back immediately!"

Master He got off his horse, perhaps because he was too anxious, and spoke sternly, "Sir, it's fine for you to play around in Hangzhou City on weekdays, but why do you make such a mess? You have asked all the laborers at the Hangzhou dock to come here, so how can you unload the cargo?!"

"It's none of my business, get out!" Cheng Congxian was so angry and embarrassed to be scolded by a small master in front of so many people...mainly the workers who had flattered him!

You know, he now recognizes the prince of the Marquis's Mansion as his elder brother!

"Sir! Those are the master's goods..." Master He took a deep breath and slowed down his voice, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sitting in our house, please don't make trouble, okay? Let the workers go back!"

Cheng Congxian rolled his eyes and snorted, then turned and walked away: "Put it back? Put it back, who will repair the river bank?!"

"Young Master!" Master He's face turned green. He couldn't explain himself to his bastard young master no matter what he did. So he just turned around and went to find Tan Yichun.

How could Tan Yichun listen to a mere legal advisor? He quickly blocked his way back and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince went to Hangzhou ahead of time because he was grateful for the kindness of Mr. Cheng and Mr. Cheng. Mr. He came to the door so recklessly to take them back. But isn't this putting Mr. Cheng in an unjust position?"

Mr. He was so anxious that he was spinning in circles. He couldn't afford to offend any of these people, but the dozen or so cargo ships at the dock were carrying vital business!

Even if he couldn't persuade the young master, he had to take him back to let the adults persuade him!

Master He said, "Master Tan, you don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in our Cheng Mansion. Your Excellency asked me to ask you to go back and pay your respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Even Mr. Tan couldn't stop him now, but Cheng Congxian still waved his hand impatiently without turning his head: "No!"

What's the use of the prince not being a prince? How can it be more important than building a river embankment!
