Chapter 51 Uniform

But can the Shen family really be the one who reaps the spoils so easily?

No, she is still here.

She would find a way to involve the Shen family in the fight between the Chu and Yu families.

At least these three companies have to stick together and share weal and woe.

Ergouzi, who was standing in front of Gu Junqing, could not speak because his mouth was blocked by a towel she held. He could not see what she was thinking. However, based on his intuition over the years, he thought that the person behind him might be thinking about how to deal with the people on the opposite side.

But they just stood there without any movement, which made Ergouzi a little anxious.

Because on the other side, another group of people were executed or beaten to death by those people for reasons such as cutting corners and being lazy, just to satisfy their inner perverted and extreme thoughts. Look at them, who are wearing gorgeous clothes and have happy smiles on their faces.

Er Gouzi, who was wondering whether he would die like those people if he rushed forward, was suddenly hit hard on the head by someone behind him. He turned around and found that Gu Junqing signaled him to take a step back.

He did so immediately.

The person who was originally standing behind him suddenly jumped and reached the stone on the opposite side in a stealthy way. Then, after taking a closer look, he found that there was another man on the opposite side, who seemed to be his accomplice.

I don't know what they said to each other. I saw the other man came behind me in the same unknown way and looked at me. I don't know where the original person went. At least there was no trace of her in his sight.

Gu Junqing had no idea what Ergouzi was thinking. After all, she was still very close to Yu Er and the others, not far to their left. If she was not careful, she would expose herself, but she could also hear what they were saying better.

This is Huang Zhenxing.

Huang Zhenxing looked at the ordinary-looking middle-aged man in front of him. Although his dress seemed low-key, it was more exquisite than that of him, the prefect of Suzhou. There was a hint of luxury in his low-key manner.

As expected of one of Lord Yu's confidants, even his style vaguely resembles that of the Lord Yu.

At this moment, he was looking at the miners not far away, holding a piece of ore in his hand.

"Is the ore in the east almost exhausted?"

Yu Er asked in a low voice, turning his head to look at Huang Zhenxing who was looking at him honestly.

He did not regard himself as a servant at all, as if Huang Zhenxing was not the Suzhou prefect feared by all the people of Suzhou, but just a small servant in front of Yu Er. Yu Er, who had no official title and was just one of Yu Xihou's confidants, acted like a master in front of the Suzhou prefect. Gu Junqing found it interesting, but the two of them did not think there was anything wrong. On the contrary, Huang Zhenxing became more attentive. He said:

"Yes, yes, Master Yu, we've been digging in the East Mine for almost half a year, and now these people can't dig anything out..."

The "Master Yu" that Huang Zhenxing mentioned was Yu Er.

"In that case, since the mining here is almost finished, let's send these people to the west tomorrow. The mines in the west haven't started mining yet. I hope there will be more ore in the west than here..."

Huang Zhenxing asked, and said yes repeatedly.

At this point, the atmosphere was quiet for a moment. Suddenly, Huang Zhenxing spoke carefully, looking at Yu Er's profile, and said:

"...Master Yu, when you return to the capital in a few days, don't forget to say a few good words about me in front of Master Yu?"

When Yu Er heard this, a trace of disdain flashed across his eyes, but he still agreed:

"Of course, the Marquis will certainly receive benefits from the prefect. Don't worry, there will be a thousand taels of silver, a hundred taels of gold, and brocade and silk."

Gu Junqing, who was eavesdropping on everything, couldn't help but wonder, could it be that a major part of Huang Zhenxing's money came from Yu Xihou, and not from the mine?

But before Gu Junqing could finish his thought, Huang Zhenxing spoke again, his voice full of hesitation:

"This, Master Yu, seems to be much less than the previous times..."

Huang Zhenxing said a lot less, so naturally the amount of money was less.

Gu Junqing looked at them silently, thinking only that the private sale of ore was really profitable, otherwise how could Yu Xihou afford to give Huang Zhenxing so much silver.

There’s still less!

Upon hearing this, Yu Er just replied impatiently: "This is the order of the Marquis. I, as a servant, am only responsible for telling Magistrate Huang. As for the rest, how can you and I have any say in it?" Sure enough, Huang Zhenxing shut up instantly.

Having said that, the atmosphere became a little cold.

Gu Junqing couldn't just rush forward either. After all, there were a lot of people below and it would be bad to alert the enemy, so he had to wait until they were alone before taking action.

And that opportunity soon arrived.

Because they were all heading west, but they had to leave some people here to watch over the place, so they left five or six people here to guard it, while there were only three or four people following Yu Er and Huang Zhenxing.

At that time, she only needs to make a feint to the east and attack in the west to lure these three or four people away. She will still be confident of protecting Yu Er and Huang Zhenxing.

She followed him, while Duan Jun and Er Gouzi continued to stay where they were waiting for Gu Junqing, so as to avoid getting separated when they left later.

"Master Yu, the mine to the west was almost discovered by a thief. Fortunately, I ordered people to drive the thief away in time." "Why did you drive him away instead of killing him directly?"

"…That's because the thief is really cunning. This humble official…"

Yu Er frowned, stopped, and looked at Huang Zhenxing who was standing beside him with a guilty look on his face. He finally held back the word "waste".

"Except for the Marquis and you, Prefect Huang, no one else must know about this mine. If you are found out and tell the Emperor, the Marquis will not be able to protect you!"

Yu Er paused here, then ordered:

"Is there no clue about the thief? We must catch him and kill him as soon as possible. No one can be exposed!"

"There are clues, because there was an accomplice at the time, but he was killed by my men. Before he died, I heard the name of the thief who escaped. His surname was Feng. Apart from that, the only thing he had was his extraordinary skills."

"Yeah……"

They were still talking about where the man surnamed Feng was, and when Gu Junqing heard this, he subconsciously thought of Feng Xiaohan, whom they met when they first came to Suzhou and visited Huang Zhenxing's study at night.

Is Huang Zhenxing talking about him?

"No matter what, this person must die!"

"Okay, Master Yu, I have already sent people to chase him. There must be a wound on the left shoulder of Feng from the sword stabbing him. I have sent people to Suzhou Yaotang Inn to closely monitor and search for him. I think Feng will definitely not escape from our grasp!"

"Um"

It's now!

Gu Junqing jumped out from the right side using Qing Kung Fu.

Huang Zhenxing and Yu Er were walking along the road just fine when suddenly a figure flashed in front of them. They were caught off guard. When they reacted, they were both subdued by a man in black who they didn't know whether he was a man or a woman, and they didn't know what he looked like.

The two of them were tied together, and then dragged by the black-clothed man to a damp and dark remote place. The two looked at the black-clothed man in front of them who was looking down at them.
