As soon as Ye Lingyue entered the Taishou Mansion, she felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

In the Taishou Mansion, grandfather Ye Gu, as well as several heirs of the Ye family, the master Wence, even Ye Huangyu and Lan Cai'er are there.

It turned out that the iron ore that the Ye family had delivered to the Licheng garrison earlier had all disappeared overnight?

Since the Ye family moved to Licheng, Ye Gu has established a cooperative relationship with the Fangshi Association at the cost of half of the Xuanyin Jade Vein.

President Liao sent several masters from the Fangshi Association to help guide the Ye family in forging dark iron ore.

In this way, the quality of the dark iron ore forged by the Ye family has improved a lot, and more than ninety percent of the black iron ore refined this time is seventy percent of the black iron ore, and one percent is eighty percent of the black iron ore.

Ye Lingyue has been busy learning the "Blink Shield" for the past few days, and in that time, the Ye family has been delivered to the Taishou Mansion, the first batch of military iron ore, about 9,000 pieces of 70% of the black iron ore and 1,000 pieces of 1,000 pieces of one percent of the black iron ore.

These iron ore also successfully passed the acceptance of the Taishou Mansion, and the day before yesterday, it was transported to the army stationed near Licheng by water.

But on the way to transportation, there was an accident.

10,000 pieces of high-quality pyrite suddenly disappeared.

Not only did the iron ore disappear, but even the ships and boatmen who transported the iron ore disappeared without a trace overnight, as if the world had evaporated.

"How could 10,000 pieces of dark iron ore disappear overnight? As soon as Ye Lingyue heard this, she felt that something was wrong.

"I also thought it was strange, I even suspected that the Shanhai Gang did it, but after some investigation, I found nothing. Lan Taishou frowned.

Lan Taishou also vaguely knew that the predecessor of the Shanhai Gang was the Shuikou in the Lishui area, so the day after the accident, he led people to search the headquarters of the Shanhai Gang, but found nothing.

The father and son of the sand madness are also convinced, they don't know what iron ore is, and the two also have alibi evidence, it seems that this matter really has nothing to do with the Shanhai Gang.

10,000 pieces of dark iron ore is not a small amount, and it is impossible for the Shanhai Gang to hide things without a trace.

"In this way, the matter was not done by the Shanhai Gang, so who else is targeting the Ye family?" Lan Cai'er was also worried, the Ye family was an iron supplier recommended by her father to the military, this time, it was the first time that the Ye family delivered Xuantie, if it was qualified, the Ye family's future status would be secure.

But if the Ye family fails to hand over the black iron ore within the agreed time, it will be disobeying the military order, it is a serious crime, and the Ye Mansion will inevitably be imprisoned, and at that time, Lan Taishou will inevitably be implicated.

"There are only seven days left before the delivery date required by the military, and even if we unite with the Fangshi Association, it is absolutely impossible for us to forge 10,000 pieces of high-grade dark iron ore. Ye Gu frowned, for this matter, he hadn't slept for two days and two nights.

He took the Ye family up and down to look for the area where the ore was missing, but he didn't find any clues.

The situation was extremely critical, and the people of the Ye family and the Taishou Mansion were all depressed.

Ye Lingyue was silent after hearing this.

In seven days, 10,000 pieces of dark iron, even if it is forged with Dingxi, it is an impossible task.

Everyone discussed it, but they didn't come up with a reason.

"It seems that there is no way, I can only let the Fangshi Association and the Ye family rush to work overnight, as much as I can just come out, as for the garrison, I will discuss it again, and I can give a few more days. "Lan Taishou and Ye Gu can only decide like this for the time being.

After the people in the Ye Mansion left the Taishou Mansion, Ye Lingyue pulled Lan Cai'er aside.

"What? You want to buy the Xuaniron Ore? How can it be, there are not many Xuantie in the market, besides, even if there is, it is sky-high, where do we get so much money. Lan Cai'er was frightened by Ye Lingyue's crazy thoughts.

But she also admitted that Ye Lingyue's idea was the most convenient way.

"I will solve the money matter, but our purpose is not really to buy Xuantie, but to lure the snake out of the hole, don't you want to help your father-in-law solve his urgent needs?" Ye Lingyue said, whispering in Lan Cai'er's ear, and after the latter heard it, his face immediately turned from worry to joy.

In the afternoon of the same day, a merchant dressed up as a foreign merchant arrived at Juqi Building.

"I want the best black iron, more than eighty percent of the black iron, ten taels of gold a piece, how much I charge, this is a deposit. If the acquisition is obtained, I will pay 20% of the handling fee to Juqi Building, and I will live at the Yuelai Inn in the city. Saying that, the foreign merchant threw out a few silver tickets very arrogantly.

The denomination on the silver ticket is 1,000 taels of silver.

Rao is the shopkeeper of Juqi Building, and he was also frightened by the generous gesture of this merchant from other places.

"Guest, there are not many Xuantie on the market, but we will do our best to help you buy Xuantie. Not long after the guest left, Juqilou posted a notice to buy high-quality Xuantie at the large and small restaurants and inns in the city.

A day passed, and no one tore up the notices.

Two more days passed, and there was still no movement.

In the Yuelai Inn, Lan Cai'er and Ye Lingyue sat in the wing, the two of them had been waiting here for three days, and the time for the Ye family to deliver the first batch of Xuantie was getting closer and closer.

"Ling Yue, why is it that it's been three days, and there is no one, could it be that the other party is suspicious of us?" Lan Cai'er couldn't sit still, pacing around in the wing.

It turned out that a few days ago, after Lan Caier and Ye Lingyue discussed, she hired an outsider to pretend to be a high roller and go to Juqi Building to buy Xuantie.

"Don't worry, the fish will be hooked soon. Ye Lingyue smiled.

Unexpectedly, Ye Lingyue's words soon became true.

They did catch a fish, and it was a big fish.

When the young gang leader of the Shanhai Gang, Sha Zhan, walked into the Yuelai Inn, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai'er, who had been watching the changes upstairs, suddenly came to their senses.

It seems that their earlier guess was not wrong, and this matter still has something to do with the Shanhai Gang.

In fact, Sha Zhan had long heard about someone buying Xuantie at a high price.

It's just that this time, the matter of the Ye family has just happened, and Sha Mad has issued an order to help anyone who is related to the matter of the Xuaniron Mine not to divulge the matter of the Xuaniron Mine.

Sha Mad thought that everything was going on seamlessly, but who knew that at this juncture, his own biological son was dragging him back.

Sha Zhan was originally a second lord who was easy and hardworking, he gambled with people outside the city a while ago, and he was careless and lost tens of thousands of taels of gold.

This is not the first time Sha Zhan has lost money, the first few times, his father can still help with the aftermath, but this time, he doesn't dare to tell his father again.

He didn't have much money in hand, and it was at this time that he heard that someone in Juqilou had bought the best Xuantie at a high price, so he had a crooked idea and came over, he didn't know that when he stepped into the door of the foreign merchant, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai'er were pricking up their ears and eavesdropping next door.
