Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

"You, who are you?"

Zhang Xingle, the sergeant of the Beijing camp who was tied up, looked at Ye Chen in horror.

Ye Chen smiled coldly.

"Have you heard of the Huai'an Chamber of Commerce?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xingle was slightly stunned.

"Are you from the Huai'an Chamber of Commerce?"

"That's right!"

Ye Chen raised his head slightly and said, "I am Mr. Qin from the Huai'an Chamber of Commerce!"

"You, you bastard, do you know who I am? You are just a small Huaian Chamber of Commerce, and you dare to kidnap me?"

Zhang Xingle was very angry.

After hearing what Zhang Xingle said, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and suddenly reached out his hand to Shen Qiu beside him.

"Give me the sword."

Shen Qiu immediately handed over the sword.

Ye Chen then drew his sword.

Zhang Xingle trembled on the spot when he saw this.

"You, you, you, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Xingle asked stutteringly, but the next moment, Ye Chen had already pressed the sword to his neck.

"Tell me, who are you and why can't I move?"

"I, I am an officer of the Beijing Camp, and my father is Zhang Erhe, the Minister of Rites!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression changed slightly, and he swung his sword fiercely.

With a "click" sound, Zhang Xingle was shocked and found that all the ropes on his body had been cut by Ye Chen.

Ye Chen even helped Zhang Xingle up.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known you were the son of the Minister of Rites, how could I have sent someone to kidnap you?"

"I'm just a businessman, and I can't afford to offend someone like you."

Ye Chen took the initiative to brush off the dust on Zhang Xingle's body.

Zhang Xingle was unhappy at this time.

"Get out of here! Who do you think you are? If I just shout, my brothers on the mountain will come over and take care of you all."

Zhang Xingle suddenly turned his gaze to Shen Qiu and Murong Yan who were standing next to Ye Chen. Shen Qiu's cold and royal temperament was amazing. Although Murong Yan was wearing a veil on her face, her graceful figure was absolutely sexy and attractive.

"Unless, unless you give me your two maids."

"Snapped!"

Zhang Xingle flew two meters away, flattening the grass.

"Oh, sorry, my hand slipped."

Ye Chen smiled, then his face darkened.

"Tie this bastard up again and gag him!"

Ye Chen's eyes were sharp. He originally wanted to pretend to be a young master of the Chamber of Commerce to deceive Zhang Xingle, but this guy took advantage of him.

He didn't bother to be polite with this guy.

"Mmmmmmm~!"

Zhang Xingle was tied up and his mouth was gagged with rags. The veins on his forehead were exposed, but he was so anxious that tears came out.

"Listen, if I kill you, I'll just dump your body in the wilderness and quietly retreat from the Qinling Mountains. No one will be able to find me. Your life is in my hands. Don't use your status as the son of the Minister of Rites to scare me. Even if the Minister of Rites was here today, I would still kill you and bury your body!"

Ye Chen put the sword in front of Zhang Xingle's neck again.

Zhang Xingle was stunned for a moment, and beads of cold sweat as big as soybeans slowly slid down his forehead.

"Nod if you understand."

Ye Chen said again.

Zhang Xingle nodded immediately.

"Don't yell, or I'll kill you. You're not the only one on this mountain. I don't necessarily have to look for you if I want to ask you something."

Ye Chen pulled the rag out of Zhang Xingle's mouth and said.

Zhang Xingle took a few breaths and looked at Ye Chen in horror.

"You, what exactly do you want to ask?"

Zhang Xingle lowered his voice.

"Why are you here in the Qinling Mountains? Why are you and your brothers staying here? Is there some big deal going on?"

Ye Chen deliberately showed his desire for money, making him look more like a young master of the Chamber of Commerce.

"hehe."

Zhang Xingle suddenly sneered twice.

"why are you laughing?"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Big business, really big business, Mr. Qin, you're in big trouble!"

Zhang Xingle looked at Ye Chen jokingly and said, "I'm telling you, there's a mine on this mountain! An iron mine! My brothers and I have been guarding this iron mine! Do you think this is a big business? If you kill me, my brothers will think the news has leaked, and they will definitely investigate thoroughly. If you make even the slightest mistake when you retreat from the mountain, both you and the Huai'an Chamber of Commerce will be uprooted!"

"I'm telling you, unless you untie me now, kowtow to me immediately, and give me a million taels of silver, I, as a great man, will forgive your offense and let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, you're dead!"

Zhang Xingle no longer dared to ask for Ye Chen's maid.

He was very clear at this time that after Ye Chen discovered the secret of the iron mine, Ye Chen would most likely kill him to silence him.

His only chance of survival is to threaten Ye Chen and show a tough attitude.

Of course, if Ye Chen really let him go, he would not really let bygones be bygones.

He would immediately lead the people from the Beijing Camp to hunt down Ye Chen. For both public and private reasons, he would make sure that no one from the Huai'an Chamber of Commerce would be left alive!

After hearing his words, Ye Chen's mouth corners slightly raised.

There are iron mines nearby, so naturally there are people mining there, and these are all witnesses.

Just as we reached the Qinling Mountains, we discovered such an important place.

It was really worth the trip!

"Come here, kill this man and bury him in a pit."

Ye Chen stuffed the rag into Zhang Xingle's mouth, waved his hand and said.

This thing is no longer useful to him.

"Mmmmmmm~!"

Zhang Xingle's eyes widened. He didn't expect Ye Chen to be so decisive and ruthless, and he was instantly scared to death.

And the next moment, he was dragged away by the imperial guards.

The murder, the digging of the grave and the burial took no more than ten minutes.

"Send people out to search for the iron mine. If they find anyone from the Beijing camp, any lone one will be killed without mercy!"

Ye Chen had a cold face and his methods were extremely ruthless.

These people who secretly mine are definitely beasts who take no human lives.

Ye Chen didn't plan to keep any of them.
