Chapter 70: The Windfall of the Prince Bai Sheng (II)
When Bai Sheng and Helian Yanran followed Xie Zhiyi into the mountain before, they found out that they were secretly mining.
He noticed that the ore was mostly reddish-brown, with occasional iron-black. There are different shapes, there are flakes, clods, oolitics, and so on.
Although Bai Sheng didn't know what it was, he understood that it must be the great Dongzi, otherwise he wouldn't have covered it so strictly, and even a little master would dare to kill him, the prince.
Bai Sheng had a guess in his heart, but it was inconvenient to verify it immediately. Inevitably frightened, he had already ordered Xie Zhiyi not to reveal the identities of him and Helian Yanran, only that he was sent by the top to check the progress, and everyone in the mine was not suspicious.
Although Bai Sheng couldn't be sure, Helian Yanran was a well-informed person, and quietly wrote the word "ochre" in Bai Sheng's palm, and Bai Sheng knew that it was indeed iron ore.
After leaving the mine, Bai Sheng's heart was extremely happy, whether it was his brother who mined iron ore privately, but now he was cheaper. He has neither the intention of rebellion nor private soldiers to raise, so such a large iron mine naturally wants to borrow flowers to offer Buddha to his father. With this merit, coupled with the use of more dim sum in disaster relief matters, his status in the eyes of his father must have made a big difference.
However, when and how to dedicate it, he still needs to think about it carefully, and he has to discuss it with Helian Yanran.
There were a lot of people in the mine, Bai Sheng didn't dare to take it lightly, and left half of the guards to take care of it, only saying that it was to supervise the progress. borrowed Qingfeng Hall from Helian Yanran, and the three of them secretly took care of the entire village. In addition, two people were also sent to contact Mu Xun and his party, who set off before him, and the disaster relief team that they left behind. Bai Sheng himself sat in the county seat of Zexian and waited for the meeting.
Since Helian Yanran got the letter here and confirmed that it was an iron ore, Bai Sheng was so big that he guessed the intention of the miner. At this moment, I asked knowingly, but I just wanted to see if the county order Yu Jing could really explain truthfully.
"If you go back to the nobles, there is an iron mine in the mountains of Qingyou Village. It's been more than half a year since I found it, and it's only been more than two months since I actually started digging.
These ores are extremely hard and difficult to mine. He and Xie Dudu were responsible for ensuring that no one came out of the way, and secretly transported the mined ore out of Anhui Huai Mansion, and someone came to take over at the boundary of Weizhou. As to where it was ultimately shipped and what it was used for, it is not known to the lowly office. ”
Yu County ordered to explain happily. After speaking, as if he was afraid that Bai Sheng would not believe it, he kowtowed, and added: "Everything you say is true, and you will never dare to deceive the nobles." If there is half a lie, it will be called a thunderstorm in the lowly sky. ”
Bai Sheng knew he wasn't lying.
Yu Jing is only a county magistrate, and he can participate in the iron mine because the mine happens to be on the ground under his jurisdiction, and it is really impossible to get around, so pulling him together can save some unnecessary trouble, and it is much easier to get things done. But when it comes to such a crucial secret as whereabouts and uses, with his official position and the courage of a mouse, he is indeed not qualified to know.
Xie Zhiyi may know, but he will never say it. Therefore, Bai Sheng still has to put some effort into the county order.
"Forget it, you're telling the truth. Bai Sheng said nonchalantly, "Since you don't know many things, then I only have one last question for you." Who are you serving?"
"This ......" made a difficult mistake in the county order.
"Don't casually confess to a small and involved official to fool things. I wouldn't believe it if it wasn't enough. Yu County Order, you have to think about it and then say it, there is only one chance, and if you miss it, even I can't save you. Bai Sheng reminded coldly.
Yu County Ling hesitated, and couldn't help but want to find someone to get an idea for him. But the master he usually relied on the most had become a ghost under the gun, and the only person he was familiar with was Xie Zhiyi. Yu Xian Ling looked at him hesitantly, but found that his eyes were full of warning.
Yu County's heart "chuckled", and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. How could he have forgotten that this person in front of him was a nobleman, and the one in the capital was not the one in the capital? If he spat out so easily, it is difficult to say what the minister would do with him, but the one in the capital would definitely not spare his life. Even if he is no longer powerful, it is still effortless for people to kill him.
In the current situation, if you say that you are dead, you will lose your head if you don't say it. How could this be good? It's all to blame on the short-lived master! If it weren't for the endless whispering in his ear about the thing that fell into the eyes of money, how would he have the courage to wade into this troubled water? Now that I think about it, how could he have been so obsessed with it at that time?
Bai Sheng didn't urge, and quietly watched him panicked and uncertain. For a while, only the heavy wheezing sound of Yu County's order could be heard in the house.
I don't know how long later, Zhou Lang's voice came from outside the door: "Master Yu, my subordinates are fortunate not to disgrace their lives and bring back a letter from the Governor of Xie Du's mansion." ”
When Xie Zhiyi heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his body involuntarily straightened, but he immediately realized that something was wrong, and instantly relaxed.
His reaction was not unpleasant, but it still couldn't escape Bai Sheng's eyes, who were always paying attention to his movements.
Bai Sheng smiled slightly, and raised his voice: "Come in and talk back." ”
Zhou Lang answered, pushed the door and walked in, first respectfully thinking that Bai Sheng and Helian Yanran saluted.
Bai Sheng raised his hand slightly, motioned for him to get up, and said, "Since you are a family member, why don't you send it to Governor Xie quickly?"
Zhou Lang handed the letter to Xie Zhiyi. Xie Zhiyi took it, looking at the undisguised traces of reading on the envelope, and smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Xie Dudu's family members are not around, so they must be very worried. Why don't you open it up and see what your psychology says?" Bai Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
Xie Zhiyi silently pulled out the letterhead, only two thin pieces of paper. He quickly finished reading it and waited for Bai Sheng's next move.
"What's going on, is Xie Dudu's family okay?" Bai Sheng asked with a smile.
"Thank you, everything is fine in Xie's house. Xie Zhiyi replied calmly.
"I've always been very curious about family letters, but because of my identity, it's unlikely that I will receive them in my life. Today, I happened to catch up with Xie Dudu's family letter, I wonder if I am lucky enough to see it, and I will have a good thing on my mind?" Bai Sheng said casually.
Xie Zhiyi didn't move.
His heart has long been blatantly dismantled, and people he doesn't believe in Bai Sheng haven't seen it. I can know the content from my subordinates, but I still have to ask him. Is it really that funny for His Royal Highness to play with him?
Xie Zhiyi's face was expressionless, but there was a faint anger all over his body.
Bai Sheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, stood up with a smile, walked in front of him, stretched out his hand and took out the letter in his hand and read it directly: "The meaning of Wu'er."
See the words as they are.
My father heard that today's floods in Anhui and Huai have caused the people to be displaced, and there are many displaced people, and food grabbing has occurred from time to time.
Although they were all burdened by the floods and fell here, it is pitiful to be homeless, but they should not be wrongly acted. The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. As the governor of Anhui, Wu'er should maintain the stability of Wanhuai Prefecture, be loyal to the country, and ensure the peace of the party.
My son is deeply favored by the emperor and cannot be disappointed. Those who do not abide by the laws and rules of the country should be severely punished.
My son is thousands of miles away, and I am worried about my father every day. I hope you take care of your body, cherish your life, and when the dust settles, you will return home as soon as possible to reunite with your father and son, and reunite your husband and wife.
My child's favorite river fresh has been prepared, and the fish is especially fatty, just waiting for my child to go home to kill the fish and cook the soup.
Looking forward to returning.
Father pen. ”
Bai Sheng thought about it, stroked his palms and smiled: "What a drama of father-son filial piety and father-son affection." I was so moved to see it that I almost believed it. Really, Thanks, it's just a little bit worse. ”
