Chapter 154 Stealing Water
Until the afternoon.

There are still people queuing up.

This is free water.

Everyone can get a bucket, who wouldn’t be happy!

Almost everyone from the entire North City came here.

Lu Yuan was always worried that there was not enough water.

But I was lucky.

This water is enough.

Lu Yuan's guards were everywhere near the well.

Lu Yuan didn't even let the people in the yamen get close to him.

Except when fetching water, let them stay close for a while.

It is because of the presence of these guards that the entire process and speed of fetching water are extremely fast.

By the evening, Lu Yuan no longer allowed people to queue.

Let them come back tomorrow.

No water is allowed at night.

At night, the well was just bottomed out, and Lu Yuan found the piece of cowhide that Xu Qiuyue had taken out at the bottom of the well.

Lu Yuan lifted the cowhide and lit the headlight at the well.

Gave extra money to the guards.

Stay up late to dig the soil, but don't dig too deep.

The digging has already been very deep. It would be dangerous and difficult to dig deeper.

He chose to listen to Xu Qiuyue and dig a pond directly.

Then dig deeper.

He just couldn't do it; he couldn't dig out any water.

After giving the order, Lu Yuan chose to return to the county government office.

When Lu Yuan returned, Xu Qiuyue had just prepared seafood soup, braised pork, and a few side dishes.

Lu Yuan used to think braised pork was greasy.

But after a busy day today, he just felt that the meat tasted particularly sweet.

Lu Yuan was really tired.

The first thing is to open a shop.

Lu Yuan only bought a few shops.

As for the rest, Lu Yuan wanted to build a commercial street near his mansion. The land here is all wasteland and very cheap.

Because Lu Yuan wanted to build a house, a large number of people gathered here.

This place itself is bustling.

The wages have not started to be paid yet. We will wait until the time comes to pay them.

Lu Yuan believed that those people would definitely flow the money back into his hands by then.

Although those cheap ingredients were not of good quality, Lu Yuan was convinced that many people would buy them.

But the key point now is still water.

It won’t work without water.

With so many people running around, water is needed.

You’ll know after you eat.

Lu Yuan sent the maid away.

He looked at Xu Qiuyue with sharp eyes.

"Madam, the maids have all left, you don't have to pretend. Without water, your husband will be finished. Today, nearly three thousand people have come to me to sign up for work. If they want to eat tomorrow, they will need water. Otherwise, those people will come to work and have nothing to eat."

Lu Yuan knew Xu Qiuyue's personality.

Xu Qiuyue is very cowardly.

Even Chunzhu didn't know Xu Qiuyue's abilities.

This shows how deeply Xu Qiuyue hid.

He also cooperated very well with Xu Qiuyue.

Since Xu Qiuyue likes to hide things, let her hide them!
"Bring someone you trust with you and follow me."

Xu Qiuyue took out a set of night clothes and threw it to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan and Xu Qiuyue both put on night clothes.

Lu Yuan brought his confidants, put on night clothes and followed Xu Qiuyue.

Xu Qiuyue took Lu Yuan to find the bamboo tubes she had hidden in advance.

In the Wang family's backyard, there is a pond full of water.

Xu Qiuyue drugged the Wang family's servants and guards.

Then he put the bamboo tube into the Wang family's pond. Lu Yuan was stunned and thought for a long time.

He thought of countless possibilities of how Xu Qiuyue found the water source.

He even thought of the possibility that Xu Qiuyue was carrying a rare treasure.

But Lu Yuanyuan never expected that Xu Qiuyue used such a simple and unpretentious method.

“You know the waterwheel! When the craftsmen were building the waterwheel, I observed some of its structures. Although I didn’t understand it, I didn’t sleep all night last night, and I finally thought of a way to save effort.

There is no water in your well, but there is water in the Wang family's well.

You and I are both skilled in martial arts, and the guards of the Wang family are no match for us.

We will pump water from the Wang family every day until you dig out water.

No, the worst that can happen is that I’ll just have to work a little harder at night.

You have seen today that those ordinary people are really miserable and pitiful. They can’t even get enough food to eat, and now they don’t even have water to drink.

Doesn’t the Wang family still have the protection of the Dragon God?
Since this water is blessed by the Dragon God, it must be good water, so you can drink it with peace of mind."

"But didn't you say last night that you wanted to filter the seawater? You can also make sea salt by the way."

Lu Yuan asked Xu Qiuyue.

"It's easy to say that you can filter seawater in such a short time. Do you think I'm a god? You want to let the people have drinking water tomorrow. Is it too late?
Moreover, these common people believe in the Dragon God very much. They think that the water in the North Sea is cursed water. When they know the truth, they will blame you for angering the Dragon God.

They just want to drink the water blessed by the Dragon God.

You don't have to worry, the Wang family has several wells, so they don't lack water.

You should send someone to keep an eye on the Wang family.

After pumping the water from his pond, we will then pump the water from his well.

Work quickly and save time, it will be morning soon."

Xu Qiuyue urged Lu Yuan.

As Xu Qiuyue spoke, she was secretly using the space to pump water.

These bamboo tubes are not long enough to reach Lu Yuan’s well.

We can only resort to very primitive methods.

Xu Qiuyue made several large cowhide bags.

The water in this cowhide bag is slightly less than that in the water tank.

Lu Yuan thought about it and simply called all the people in the yamen.

There are not enough people.

If you can arrange more people, then arrange more people.

Anyway, he gave the reward.

Tomorrow night, we will call those migrant workers out to fight the flood.

We will definitely be able to transport all of the Wang family’s water.

By then, the Wang family will have no water.

Lu Yuan wanted to see what the Dragon God that the Wang family talked about every day was.

Lu Yuan also plans to filter the seawater tomorrow.

He was a little worried that the water in Wang's pond would really be drained.

These yamen runners are all native people of the north city.

As the saying goes, if the law is not in place, then the masses will prevail.

With so many of them, they are not afraid of revenge from the Wang family.

And the Wang family’s water charges are too expensive.

They already had complaints.

Now Lu Yuan personally led them to steal water.

There is also a wage, one penny of silver per person. Although it is not much, it is half a month's wage.

Of course they are willing to do so, and this will also help the people.

Chen Fa is the chief constable of the county government. He is also a second-rate master with extraordinary inner energy.

According to common sense, one penny was a little too little and was not enough to ask him to work for a whole night.

But today, he was willing.

Not everyone in this county government has a black heart.

As a police chief, he did not want to oppress the people.

Even he had to do many things against his will under the coercion of the Wang family.

There was no way, his wife, children and parents all wanted to drink water.

Chen Fa had no idea how many people he had seen being forced to drink the Wang family’s foot washing water.

Having no water is more terrible than having no food.

The Wang family is too dark.
