After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Chapter 51: Using Yourself to Set the Game

Shen Jinyao was a little shocked.

It is certain that there were mines in ancient times.

It is certain that someone is mining it.

But I always feel that there is something weird about Dingcheng Escort Agency transporting this.

Le Yao, who was standing nearby, saw something shiny in front of her. When she got closer, she saw it was a stone.

Unexpectedly, after giving it to my elder sister, she became a little dazed.

Shen Leyao asked: "Brother Jin, what is this?"

Zong Cheng said, "This is iron ore."

Shen Jinyao glanced at Zong Cheng and found that he also knew her.

"you know?"

Zong Cheng nodded. They had met each other in the gang before.

"I've seen them in the gang before. Not only this kind, but also copper ones."

Shen Jinyao: "Then do you know where it is usually mined?"

The presence of iron and copper indicates that there must be a place rich in minerals.

If she passed by, she would like to go and see it.

Taking a look was secondary, the main thing was that she wanted to stock up some.

The most direct use of minerals in ancient times was to make weapons and tools.

When the time comes, she will put it in her space, which will be very good whether for personal use or for business.

After all, minerals are hard to come by, and many of them may not be able to regenerate quickly.

At that time, she really realized her dream of a life with food, land, money and mines.

Zong Cheng and Zong Shi did not expect that Master Jin would be interested in this, nor did they expect that he did not know where the minerals were.

Zong Shi said, "Maybe Master Jin doesn't go out much, Yanzhou is a place dedicated to mining."

"There is a Baoyun Ridge there, which is the place with the most ore in Yanzhou."

Shen Jinyao had seen this name on a map, where it appeared to be a mountain.

Zong Cheng also placed a big stone there last night.

I guess that place is quite big.

"Aren't the minerals managed by the royal family?"

This question is a bit beyond the scope for the brothers of the clan.

Before they came out, the Chiyan Gang had never dealt with the imperial court. It was only after the old gang leader passed away that they had contact with the imperial court.

That's when they started to venture into the world.

but……

Zongshi said truthfully: "That should be the case, but my two brothers don't know much about this matter, and we have never been involved in minerals, so..."

Shen Jinyao understood that this matter was indeed not something that ordinary people could know.

She guessed that if the royal family was the only one in charge of mineral resources in Kyushu, then Dingcheng Escort Agency would be responsible for transporting minerals for the imperial court.

With so many boxes, they must weigh at least several hundred kilograms.

That must be refining weapons.

If only wealthy businessmen could mine...

Can't it be a production tool?

She decided to go to Baoyun Ridge to take a look when the time comes.

"Okay, I understand. By the way, Zong Cheng..."

Shen Jinyao called out to Zong Cheng, and Shen Leyao was driven back.

Only Shen Jinyao and the Zong brothers remained there.

The three of them didn't move, and no one urged them to leave.

Zong Cheng: "Master Jin, just speak frankly if you have something to say."

Sometimes Master Jin would call him Brother Zong, and when he called him by his full name it must be because he had something important to say.

"We will definitely meet people who are stronger than us on the road, as well as bad people and good people."

"I think our bottom line is that as long as they don't touch us, we will keep quiet."

"If the other party attacks, no matter who it is, we will fight with all our might."

She stood in front of Zong Cheng and said seriously, "For example, just now, if it was just you and Zong Shi, I believe we would have been able to escape unscathed."

“But look at us…”

Zong Cheng followed Shen Jinyao's gaze and looked at the three carriages behind.

Some people have already gotten off the carriage. Look at them, young and old...

"So, Brother Zong, there's no need for us to argue with them. Our own safety should be our priority."

"Brother Zong, can you understand?"

Zong Cheng lowered his head, cupped his hands, and said, "Master Jin, I know I was wrong. I didn't think it through."

Shen Jinyao patted Zong Cheng's shoulder and said, "It's okay, Brother Zong."

Zong Cheng who was photographed:?

Zongshi, who was watching from the side, said: ...

Why do you feel that Master Jin treats them as brothers?

"Oh, right. Are all escort agencies like this?"

Zongshi understood and nodded.

Thinking of this, the two brothers felt a little ashamed. If they hadn't met Master Jin, it would have been difficult for them to find customers for their escort with only two horses.

"Okay, when we get to the county town, I'll make it look like that for us."

Zong Cheng looked at Zong Shi in confusion, what kind?

Zongshi was also confused, thinking that there shouldn't be any need for it.

At this time, Aunt Yun ran over.

In this way, when I am at the Shen family, there is no need for Aunt Yun to ask questions.

But now, she was the only one in their carriage with good legs and a healthy body.

"Jin'er, the old lady asked me to ask if something happened?"

"Auntie, it's okay, we'll leave now."

Shen Jinyao said this as she helped Aunt Yun walk back.

Zong Shi, who was standing by, whispered to his elder brother, "Brother, do you think Master Jin is getting too close to this concubine?"

Zong Cheng scolded with a stern face: "Don't meddle in the master's affairs."

He took a look and found it was indeed a bit unruly.

But considering Mr. Jin's conversation and character, there should be no problem.

……

The Shen family's carriage continued to move forward as usual. After giving way just now, they seemed to be more low-key and cautious.

Shen Jinyao thought about today's discovery and found a book about the geography of Kyushu and started reading.

The Jinyiwei, who were far away in Shangjing City, also made some discoveries.

At this time, Pan Ye, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was reporting to the emperor who had just left the court.

"What did you say? The second brother is related to the escort agency?"

The emperor held the memorial in his hand with a frown on his face.

"Your Majesty, it's the Dingcheng Escort Agency. It's the largest escort agency in our dynasty, and it's also the one that has some connections with our court."

Emperor: "What's the problem with this escort agency?"

Pan Ye said: "I have found out that they are transporting ore."

"Yanzhou?"

Pan Ye nodded. "It's nothing, after all, the mining area is not only owned by the imperial court. But what can a wealthy businessman do by transporting large quantities of ore?"

"This wealthy businessman happens to be a brother-in-law of the Second Prince."

"The current owner of this escort agency has not yet been found."

The emperor nodded, and he really couldn't let go of any clues.

"Second brother..."

"Your Majesty, that's not all. The Red Flame Gang has been active recently, and we've also traced it back to the Second Prince."

The emperor sneered, "Humph, I originally thought that the eldest brother would be the most restless, but I didn't expect the second brother..."

"Investigate! Don't alert the enemy. Find evidence and see what else the second brother has done behind the scenes."

It is Dingcheng Escort Agency and also a gang.

What on earth is he going to do?

I'm afraid it's not just the position of crown prince?

I hope he's just overthinking it.

He narrowed his eyes and thought of what Shen Maoshan had said to him at that time.
