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

When Ye Chen walked into the wooden village.

The first thing I saw was Lu Niudan, whose face was black and whose front teeth were broken.

Lu Niudan grinned and gave Ye Chen an ugly smile.

Ye Chen wanted to laugh when he saw Lu Niudan, but he held it back.

"These guys, can you notify others through fireworks?"

Ye Chen held the bamboo tube, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to Lu Niu Dan: "You did a good job, I will reward you handsomely when you come back."

"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty."

"Call me Master Qin."

Ye Chen interrupted Lu Niudan and helped him up.

"Oh, Qin, Qin, Master Qin, we also captured the general in the wooden village."

Lu Niu Dan said immediately.

"Humph, bring this person up to me."

Ye Chen snorted coldly.

Soon, Chang Guangde was tied up and brought in front of Ye Chen.

At this time, Shen Qiu also came to Ye Chen and said softly: "Your Majesty, we found the miners."

"Oh, where are the miners?"

Ye Chen immediately asked in confusion.

"Live in the mines."

Shen Qiu paused, then added: "They all lived miserable lives."

"I'll go check it out later."

Ye Chen looked at Chang Guangde who was kneeling in front of him.

"You, you, who are you?"

Chang Guangde was panicked at this time and stared at Ye Kuang in shock.

"I'm Mr. Qin from the Huai'an Chamber of Commerce. Have you heard of me?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said to Chang Guangde.

"Asshole, asshole, you, you dare treat me like this from a small Huaian Chamber of Commerce? Do you know who you are provoking? Do you know who owns this wooden village?"

Chang Guangde was angry.

"Oh, who are you?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and asked.

"I'm from the Beijing Camp. I'm a lieutenant general of the Beijing Camp. I'm also the second son of the Ningyuan Marquis family! My name is Chang Guangde!"

Chang Guangde roared angrily.

Ye Chen only then realized that this guy was actually the son of a marquis. No wonder he could become a general in the Jingying camp, where powerful people gather.

"You'd better let me go immediately, otherwise you're dead, and your Huaian Chamber of Commerce will be wiped out!"

Chang Guangde roared.

The thought of himself being tied up by someone from the Chamber of Commerce made him so angry that his head was smoking.

This is no longer a question of shame or not.

This is like a tiger getting kicked in the butt by a donkey!

"Chang Guangde, let me ask you, besides this iron ore, what other businesses do you have in the Qinling Mountains?"

Ye Chen then asked again.

"It's none of your business, just let me go!"

Chang Guangde roared.

However, the next moment, he heard words that almost froze his blood.

"Kill this man, chop off his head, and pass the head along to the other prisoners."

Ye Chen waved his hand, and someone immediately came forward and stuffed a rag into Chang Guangde's mouth.

He displayed an extremely ruthless approach.

Chang Guangde's eyes widened.

He never expected that Ye Chen would be so cruel.

Are all the young masters of the Chamber of Commerce so reckless nowadays?

Chang Guangde tried to struggle hard, but was quickly dragged away.

And after his head was chopped off and passed to other prisoners to see.

Ye Chen then had someone pull up a guy who looked like an officer.

This person is Chang Guangde's deputy general.

"Sir, I'm just a sergeant, please don't kill me."

The deputy general's face turned pale with fear.

Chang Guangde was dead, which completely broke his defense.

He no longer dared to use his identity as a son of a noble family and could only beg for mercy.

"If you want to live, then you have to answer my questions honestly."

Ye Chen smiled coldly and said.

Hearing this, the deputy general nodded.

"Yes."

So, Ye Chen asked in detail about the specific situation in Qinling Mountains, and the deputy general answered all his questions.

And this guy is also very clear about the situation in Qinling Mountains.

"Grazing land, iron mines, and even slaves for farming, silkworm breeding, and tea cultivation? They really are into all sorts of businesses."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.

He then asked, "There's always thick smoke coming out of the Qinling Mountains these days. What's going on? Has the Beijing Army taken any action recently?"

Ye Chen asked the biggest question in his mind again.

"Yes, it's a copper mine. Copper mines have been discovered in the Qinling Mountains."

The deputy general said so.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression changed slightly.

Copper mine?

The coins currently in circulation throughout Dayu are made of copper!

With copper mines, these guys can directly mint coins.

"How many slaves are there in the Qinling Mountains? How many people have you plundered?"

"Yes, more than 5 people."

The general said honestly.

"What did you say?!"

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, "How many people?"

"fifty thousand."

"grass!"

Ye Chen's face turned cold.

5 people, what does this mean?

These powerful people actually captured tens of thousands of people and took them to the mountains.

And remember, this is just the number of slaves on the mountain, not counting those who have died.

If all the people in Qinling Mountains are included, the number will at least double!

It's so cruel, it's really so cruel!

Ye Chen was extremely angry.

"Someone is coming."

"exist."

"Kill everyone else!"

"As for him, seize him and break his hands and feet, lest he escape."

Ye Chen pointed at the lieutenant general, showing an absolutely tough and ruthless approach.

Hearing this, the lieutenant general was so frightened that he trembled all over.

"Yes!"

Shen Qiu glanced at the general coldly, then took the order and left.
