Was your home ransacked on your wedding day?I emptied the Marquis's house and tore my son-in-la

Chapter 270 Assassination of Xiao Wujin

The resettlement plan was in progress, and the land in the city was being bulldozed. The people nearby knew about it and were chatting around the land.

"Who will build this after it was bulldozed? Where are the original people? Aren't there still people living there?"

"I know this. We moved it. It's right at the bottom of the alley in the old city. Haven't the houses over there been unoccupied for a long time? The government has repaired it and moved it there."

"I heard that houses are going to be built in this area. Didn't the government build the river? Many people are going to move here. The government is paying for the construction of houses!"

"Everyone can do something if they have nothing to do, and get paid for it!"...

The transformation of the city was in full swing, and Shen Ru was too busy to get away.

There was already mature cotton in the cotton field. Uncle Duan took the lead and invited some nearby villagers to pick cotton.

Shen Ru is not going to keep track, but she needs to know the quality and yield of her cotton.

Then she went to Aunt Mo's place to see the output of cotton pads.

Also at the ranch, after the chef was changed, she also needed to see if other people were adapting.

Even in the barbecue bistro, where she provides all the ingredients herself, she still needs to keep an eye on whether to replenish the supplies.

So busy, this summer has passed.

On this day, Shen Ru was invited to the Governor's Mansion by Xiao Wujin.

"Have you missed me since you haven't seen me for a long time?" Shen Ru smiled and sat down in front of Xiao Wujin's desk.

"Well, open it and take a look." Xiao Wujin pushed a box in front of Shen Ru.

"What?" Shen Ru said, opening the box, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the thick stack of banknotes.

"15 taels of silver notes, after excluding the money you paid in the first place, the rest will be considered as dividends."

Xiao Wujin said: "Yan Shaoqing has recovered all the money. Fine salt is an excellent thing for the rich and powerful. They can buy it at a high price. Especially those royal families outside the customs are willing to pay sky-high prices to buy fine salt. Only Make the food taste better.”

"Yan Shaoqing gave me 35 taels, excluding the portion that the Yan family should take away. Ah Ru, you paid for the capital, so this money..."

"It would be nice to make some money. Thank you. I suddenly feel rich again!"

Shen Ru accepted it. We haven't seen each other for almost a month, and Xiao Wujin has become darker again. It can be seen that he has been quite busy recently!

"How's it going? Has the relocation been completed?"

"Well, it's all done. Since they were given compensation, they need to find a temporary place to stay by themselves."

Xiao Wujin made the final written official document about moving to the village, and paid some silver coins according to the measured size of the house. After the villagers got the silver coins, they still had to find a place to live in Liangzhou City.The agreement clearly stated that they were not allowed to leave Liangzhou.

"Letting them leave Hedao Village is not asking them to leave Liangzhou. We in Liangzhou are using people, how can we lose people?"

"In addition, some people want farmland and are used to living in the countryside, so they choose other resettlement methods."

Xiao Wujin paused and continued: "Fortunately, there was no second heavy rain, and the water level has been within control. The river channel will be completed in another month!"

"Then... the eight hundred prisoners will have to find work if they want to survive in Liangzhou. People will be needed to build houses by then. I already have enough people picking cotton."

Shen Ru took care of the placement of these prisoners for Xiao Wujin.

"As long as you are willing to do the work, you will be provided with food and accommodation. I'm afraid some people are too ambitious and have too little power."

"Digming rivers is hard labor. We've done it, what else can't we do?" Xiao Wujin asked.

"It would be better to reclaim some hills. Well, I will let the farmers see where there are many wastelands in Liangzhou and where they can be reclaimed into good farmland."

Xiao Wujin also agreed, as long as there are people, Liangzhou will not be poor!

The two of them discussed how much time they would open in Liangzhou in the future. It wasn't until their mouth went dry that Shen Ru was shocked to realize that a long time had passed.

"Then...I'll go back first. Are you free tomorrow? Let's go for a walk if you have time."

Shen Ru asked tentatively while holding his huge sum of money.

"Yes. I'll have a rest tomorrow. I'll come to the Shen family to find you. I'll do whatever you want."

Xiao Wujin smiled and nodded. "That's great, I'm leaving!" Shen Ru said happily, she also wanted to make arrangements and won't do anything tomorrow!

Xiao Wujin smiled and watched Shen Ru leave happily.

It was night, Xiao Wujin was looking up at the stars in his bedroom, when he suddenly saw a figure falling from the roof and entering his house directly.

"What do you want to do?"

Xiao Wujin calmed down secretly, it was not like he had never encountered an assassination before.

"Master Xiao, please don't act rashly. I came here to ask Master Xiao for confirmation."

The man wore a mask and his voice was low, and his age could not be heard.

"what do you want?"

"The fine salt in Liangzhou has leaked out. I'm trying to find out who it is. It's really surprising. It's you, Mr. Xiao!"

"Master Xiao is indeed the youngest Jinshi in our dynasty. Master Xiao has figured out the method of refining fine salt."

Xiao Wujin was shocked. When he did this, he knew that he would be found out sooner or later.

Fortunately, in the past month, all the coarse salt obtained from Ganzhou has been refined, and the last batch was handed over to the Yan family this afternoon.

"What you said is ridiculous. I don't know what fine salt is."

Xiao Wujin flatly denied it.

"Master Xiao, I'm here to make a deal with you. As an official of the imperial court, since you have the method of refining fine salt, you should hand it over to the imperial court. Why hide it?"

Xiao Wujin didn't know the origin of the other party, but from what he said, he still believed that he had the method of refining fine salt.

"Your Excellency hides his head and shrinks his tail, and what he said is extremely ridiculous. I will never deal with shameless people."

Xiao Wujin had a stern look on his face and said coldly: "If you want to assassinate me, just let your horse come over!"

At the same time, Xiao Wujin directly pushed down the flower pot on the windowsill.

"Xiao Wujin, I'm not here to be your enemy."

The man changed his tone, "I'll come again!"

After saying this, he had already exited Xiao Wujin's room and jumped onto the wall. At the same time, the guards from the Governor's Mansion also rushed over.

When Luneng saw the dark shadow on the roof, he immediately flew forward with Wang Yang and chased after him.

"Master Xiao, are you okay?"

The other guards immediately stepped forward to check on Xiao Wujin.

Xiao Wujin shook his head and just covered his chest. Only he knew how fast his heart was beating at this moment.

He has never been afraid of death, but right now, his heart is full of Shen Ru, he wants to live happily!

The next morning, Xiao Wujin went to see Shen Ru as promised, but with Luneng by his side, he was not afraid of embarrassment at all.

"Xiao Wujin, you look a little bad. What happened?"

Shen Ru looked Xiao Wujin up and down and asked with some concern.

"I'm fine." Xiao Wujin smiled, feeling relieved when he saw Shen Ru.

"Miss Shen, someone attempted to assassinate you last night. Although they didn't succeed, we didn't catch anyone. I've put you in your hands. You must protect your master!"

Luneng was outspoken, and he didn't mean to ruin the scenery.

Shen Ru was stunned and immediately looked Xiao Wujin up and down.

"Is it all right?"

"It's okay, I'll tell you on the way."
