The ancestor is here, she is here with space

"Help him?" Lin Congyun raised his eyebrows. "Help the Second Prince for what?"

The wizard hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "The Second Prince asked me to develop that... that drug that controls people's minds."

"Drugs that control people's minds?" Lin Congyun repeated this sentence, and then asked, "Can you really develop it?"

"Um...I..." The wizard stuttered a little. After all, he didn't have this ability. All he knew were some tricks, and they were just the basics.

"He's just playing tricks." Lin Congyun could tell that the wizard was just a charlatan. "Have you developed it yet?"

The wizard lowered his head, a hint of bitterness on his face.

He was originally a traveling sorcerer who made a living by using some superficial sleight of hand to deceive people. How could he know anything about drugs that could control people's minds?

By accident, he came to the Second Prince's residence. He told others that he was here to treat the Second Prince's chronic illness, but he was actually asked to develop such a mysterious medicine.

How could he dare not disobey the Second Prince's orders? However, with so little knowledge in his head, he could not stand such a torture.

He thought of countless methods before saying that he needed young boys and girls as medicine inducers, but this was just a way to delay time.

"What? It hasn't been developed yet?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Lin Congyun's voice.

The wizard felt bitter, but he could only bite the bullet and said, "I was just trying to trick the Second Prince. I don't have that ability..."

"What? You dare to deceive the second prince..." Zhao Tianqian started yelling after hearing the wizard's words.

"Shut up." Lin Congyun glanced at him and glared at him fiercely. "Did you also suggest the child trafficking issue?"

After hearing this, the wizard looked at Lin Congyun in surprise. Does this old woman have the ability to read minds?

"You...how do you know?" He swallowed and looked at Lin Congyun with fear in his eyes.

The corners of Lin Congyun's mouth trembled, and he looked like he was smiling, which made the wizard and Zhao Tianqian feel a little uneasy.

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it." Lin Congyun snorted.

She would never say that she guessed it. The Second Prince would definitely not understand this trick. This is a common tactic used by swindlers in the world.

Lin Congyun stood up from the stone bench, walked in front of the two people, and stared at them with sharp eyes.

"After all this time, you haven't answered any of the questions I asked. It seems like you want to taste the whip in my hand."

As soon as Lin Congyun finished speaking, the wizard and Zhao Tianqian shuddered involuntarily.

Zhao Tianqian knew very well that the old woman Lin Congyun was not a good person. If the whip really hit her, her skin would be torn apart.

The wizard was even more worried. He was a man of the world and had been living well in the Second Prince's mansion. He didn't expect to meet this ferocious old woman.

He secretly glanced at Zhao Tianqian next to him, and when he saw that the whip in Lin Congyun's hand was about to fall, he immediately spoke.

"I know why the Second Prince wanted to save him!"

As soon as the wizard said this, the whip in Lin Congyun's hand stopped instantly, "Oh? You know?"

The wizard swallowed and nodded with some difficulty. When he was about to speak, Zhao Tianqian beside him started shouting again.

"Don't say it. If you say it, the Second Prince won't forgive you..."

Talk too much!

Lin Congyun whipped Zhao Tianqian directly on the face. Zhao Tianqian covered his face in pain and lay on the ground, not daring to make a sound again.

After glancing at him coldly, he shifted his gaze to the wizard.

"Tell me, I want to see, what is it about Zhao Tianqian that makes the Second Prince worth saving?"

The wizard's heart trembled. He secretly glanced at Zhao Tianqian, then at Lin Congyun, and then spoke in a low voice.

"In fact, the reason why he was saved by the Second Prince was because... because he knew a secret, which was..."

"what……"

Zhao Tianqian screamed again, and was greeted by another whip.

"If you dare to talk too much again, I will cut off your tongue!" Lin Congyun looked at Zhao Tianqian coldly, his eyes seemed to want to eat him alive.

Zhao Tianqian covered his face, grimaced in pain, and dared not make a sound anymore.

The wizard's heart trembled when he saw Lin Congyun's sharp eyes. He swallowed and spoke carefully: "Actually, Zhao Tianqian...he knows about iron ore."

"Iron ore?" Lin Congyun raised his eyebrows, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"That's right, iron ore!" The wizard nodded cautiously, fearing that Lin Congyun would be unhappy and the whip would fall.

In this era, iron ore is of paramount importance. Whether it is for making weapons or daily necessities, iron ore is indispensable.

The imperial court also had extremely strict control over iron mines, and each iron mine was heavily guarded to prevent anyone from stealing the ore.

The mining rights of iron ore were also in the hands of the imperial court. Every year, the amount of iron ore mined would be reported to the imperial court by a special person and then reviewed by the emperor himself.

It can be said that iron ore is the lifeblood of the imperial court. Once there is a problem with the iron ore, the entire imperial court will be in turmoil.

Zhao Tianqian actually knew about iron ore?

Lin Congyun's heart trembled, and the look she gave the wizard became even more fierce.

"Iron ore? Are you sure?"

The wizard trembled all over when he was looked at by Lin Congyun's sharp eyes, and he nodded quickly.

"Yes, yes. I learned it accidentally from their conversation."

"Hmph, I don't think you dare lie to me." Lin Congyun snorted coldly, then turned his gaze to Zhao Tianqian.

At this time, Zhao Tianqian was lying on the ground with his face covered, grimacing in pain.

Lin Congyun ignored him, turned around, walked towards the stone bench and sat down again.

She picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then asked.

"Do you know where the iron mine is?"

The wizard shook his head like a rattle and replied repeatedly: "I really don't know where the iron mine is. You have to ask him."

After saying that, the wizard pointed at Zhao Tianqian.

Lin Congyun stood up and walked slowly towards Zhao Tianqian, "Where is the iron mine?"

Zhao Tianqian lay on the ground, looking at Lin Congyun who was slowly approaching. A trace of panic flashed across his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

He tried to look calm and said through gritted teeth, "I really don't know anything about iron or silver mines. That wizard is talking nonsense. Don't be fooled by him!"

Lin Congyun stopped and looked at him coldly, with a mocking smile on his lips.

"Oh? Really?" She squatted down and looked at Zhao Tianqian. "Do you think I will believe you?"

Zhao Tianqian's heart was trembling. He knew that Lin Congyun was not someone who could be easily fooled.

He gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "I really don't know why the wizard said that..."
