The eldest son is fierce

Tang Yi looked at the faces of Sun Diaosi, Zhuge Yunjue and the others, his face calm and his ears flushed. He said seriously, "What's with that expression on your face? Are you scared?"

"It's normal to be scared. After all, the last thing I lack is food. If this happens, your plan to disrupt Kyoto will fail."

"Honestly, in a few days, I'll have to find a new place to store food."

"Although the South Granary is large, it still isn't enough to store enough food to deal with you and fight a protracted war with you..."

Sun Diaosi, Zhuge Yunjue, and Li Shanhe's faces were twitching.

Even Yumu couldn't help but look up at the sky, and Lin Bao and other Jinyiwei masters all turned their heads away silently.

Keep pretending, we will just watch you quietly and will never stop you.

Finally, Sun Diaosi couldn't bear to listen any longer and raised his hand to interrupt him: "Okay, okay, we believe you. We believe that you really have food, not just soil."

"...Mud, what mud?!" Tang Yi didn't react for a moment.

Everyone looked at him, their faces speechless. You've been exposed, and you're still pretending?

"Humph! A mountain twenty miles outside the city has been almost hollowed out by the imperial guards. What are you talking about? Mud?"

Zhuge Yunjue finally seized the opportunity to strike back, grinning grimly and saying, "The 100,000 dan of grain that entered the city last night was nothing more than 100,000 dan of dirt, wasn't it?"

"Why, Marquis Zhongyong, do you want the people of Kyoto and the refugees to eat dirt with you?"

Tang Yi was stunned when he heard this.

After a long moment, his face looked extremely grim, and he muttered to himself with a touch of embarrassment, "Damn it! The Emperor is unreliable. He clearly told him to have someone he trusted handle this, yet the news leaked out?"

Before he finished speaking, he seemed to have realized something. He immediately raised his fist to his lips and coughed dryly, then said seriously, "What I just said to you is true. I take full responsibility for what I said."

"I, Tang Yi, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, have food. Lots and lots of it!"

"Yes, yes, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery has food, lots of food." Li Shanhe agreed with a smile, but his smile was full of sarcasm.

"Yes, the Marquis of Zhongyong said he has food, so we should believe that he has food."

Zhuge Yunjue sneered and walked forward, his face almost touching Tang Yi's. "I will remember today's humiliation. Next, we will play slowly."

“Also, let me tell you, the 50,000 acres of land you have is all barren hills.”

"Hurry up and send people to reclaim the land. Maybe by the time crops grow next year, the grass on your grave will be three feet high."

Li Shanhe also stared at Tang Yi jokingly.

But soon, Tang Yi stopped moving, and the two of them were stunned.

They originally thought that after Tang Yi learned the truth, he would immediately take out the contract and study it carefully, then find the problems in the contract and make the Three Corpse Gods jump up and down in anger in front of everyone.

Then they would take the opportunity to humiliate him severely.

As a result, Tang Yi was not angry at all. Instead, he looked as if he had expected it.

There was even a hint of a sly smile on the corner of his mouth...

What does that mean? I can't be fooled again, right?

"Zhuge Yunjue, why are you so forgetful?"

Tang Yi took two steps back, putting some distance between himself and Zhuge Yunjue. He raised his hand to straighten his collar and said, "I told you, this is a trap within a trap. I'm not trying to trick you into selling 50,000 acres of land. My goal from the beginning has been that mountain."

"There is a gold mine under that mountain."

"A huge gold mine that could rival a country, and you brought it to me with your own hands and gave it to me!"

"How is it? Isn't it exciting to hear this news?"

Swish!

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Tang Yi.

Li Shanhe and Zhuge Yunjue were already stunned on the spot. Yumu, Lin Bao and others also had their eyes wide open. Even Sun Diaosi narrowed his eyes at this time.

This news was absolutely a bolt from the blue for them!

Is there a gold mine in the mountains outside the south city?

How is this possible? Kyoto is the ancient capital of six dynasties. How could there be a gold mine that no one discovered for thousands of years?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Zhuge Yunjue stepped back, his calves trembling, his voice trembling: "It's just a barren mountain. Apart from those black rocks, there's nothing else."

"A gold mine? Haha, you're kidding me!"

Reason told him that Tang Yi did it on purpose, to confuse them and mess with their minds.

But reason told him that there was definitely something wrong with this kid exchanging 100,000 dan of grain for that huge mountain!

Li Shanhe could no longer laugh, his face was pale and bloodless.

If there really is a gold mine, and it is dug out by Tang Yi, then the devil must wipe out all ten of their clans.

"Lie to you? Who are you to be lied to by me?"

Tang Yi chuckled, raised a finger and said, "In another month, you will know whether I am lying to you or not!"

"I will report to His Majesty within a month and officially start mining the gold mine."

"When the time comes, I will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony and invite you to join me."

Tang Yi raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, saying: "As for now, you can go away."

Zhuge Yunjue and Li Shanhe turned around and left, not even caring about maintaining a little etiquette.

Even without Tang Yi chasing them away, they could not stay there any longer. They were eager to know whether there was a gold mine under the big mountain outside Nanshan City.

If they did, they would be dead.

If not, they will make Tang Yi live and die.

"Haha, kid, is there really a gold mine in the mountains of South City?"

Sun Diaosi shook his whisk and looked at Tang Yi with a smile.

He didn't believe it either, but the young man in front of him described it so convincingly that he was a little unsure.

"Yes, a gold mine that is as rich as a country."

Tang Yi nodded vigorously and said, "I never lie. I always tell the truth."

Sun Diaosi's face trembled, and he said, "Well, Tang Yi never lies. The one who lied was the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and it had nothing to do with Tang Yi."

Hearing this, Yu Mu smiled, and Lin Bao and others also laughed.

Tang Yi's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "Mr. Sun, don't wrongly accuse me. I'm telling the truth."

"Okay, stop trying to get close to me."

Sun Diaosi extended his hand to Tang Yi and said, "I have come here in person. I believe you know the reason for my visit. The Crown Prince is involved in the case. The Secret Service and the Imperial Guard must have some evidence and materials."

"Give me the evidence. I need to follow the evidence and help the prince clean up his mess."

The smile on Tang Yi's lips gradually faded.

He looked at Sun Diaosi, and the two stared at each other for a while. Tang Yi licked his lips and smiled, "Sun Lai, you are really direct. Yes, the Jinyiwei and the Secret Service do have evidence."

"But, I refuse!"

"It's your job to wipe the prince's ass. Don't drag me into this. I find it dirty."

Sun Diaosi narrowed his eyes, and his gaze suddenly became sharp.

"Boy, do you know what you're talking about?"

Tang Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know exactly what I'm talking about."

"If it weren't for the fact that the Crown Prince is nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands of refugees, do you think you would have the time to clean up the Crown Prince's mess?"

"Right now, the prince is already in the Zongzheng Temple awaiting his verdict!"
