Looking at the two bowls of stewed soft potatoes on the table, Li Chen picked up the bowl and ate it in a big gulp, it really didn't taste very good, compared with the food in Lijiazhuang, it was a world of difference. But then again, although the taste is not good, it is much stronger than when Li Chen was a beggar.

Ying Gao also picked up the potatoes in front of him, he ate much more elegantly than Li Chen, in the end, he was a child of the royal family, even if he ate a bowl of stewed potatoes, he could eat a sense of ritual.

"What are you eating?" Li Chen said in surprise.

Ying Gao is the child of the first emperor, even if he is not valued by the first emperor, he can be regarded as born with a golden soup spoon. On weekdays, the delicacies of the mountains and seas are worry-free, but this little transparent person in the royal family has to help the poor and widows, not to mention, but he is also a little guilty of it.

"Master Hou, don't you eat it too?" Ying Gao asked rhetorically.

"You are different from me, and I have experienced more bitter days than this." Li Chen said with a smile.

"Actually, I like the days now, how much I wish I was born in an ordinary family. If we were just an ordinary family, Ying Chang would not have aspired to that position, and then he would not have died. Ying Gao said, the corners of his eyes were a little sparkling.

"Every man has his own life, and countless beggars die on the street every year, and people will eventually die, either like this or that." Li Chen said when he heard this.

"Master Hou, I want to ask you for something this time." Ying Gao looked at Li Chen.

"What is it that can actually make you, a dignified son, use this word?" Li Chen asked curiously.

"Huh." Ying Gao smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said: "My son is just a false name, and the energy of the Hou Ye in this Xianyang City is a hundred times and a thousand times higher. ”

"Master Hou, according to the laws of Great Qin, orphans will leave Dugu Garden when they are twelve years old. And because these children who left Duguyuan have no skills, most of them go to the street to beggars, and there are many human traffickers who will sell these orphans as flowers. There are many industries under the name of Hou Ye, can you find something to do for these children. Ying Gao looked at Li Chen expectantly.

Li Chen looked at Ying Gao's eyes, his eyes were full of sincerity, even Li Chen, who was a man of two lives, had never seen such clear eyes. Li Chen thought of the sixth son, who left Duguyuan and became a beggar on the street.

"Why doesn't Childe settle these children by himself?" Li Chen asked curiously.

"Don't tell the Hou Ye that my property in Xianyang is only this one restaurant. The annual money is enough, so I don't buy any property, and besides, I'm not good at business, and even if I buy a property, I may not make money. Yinggao said.

Yinggao is really only this one restaurant that loses money in Xianyang, which really surprised Li Chen. You must know that according to Yinggao's identity, it is difficult to find someone to partner in some business, even if you want to lose money. Such a prince who doesn't love power or money is really the first to win high.

"In that case, Gongzi can let these children go to Lijiazhuang to find the sixth son, and I will arrange them properly." Li Chen said solemnly.

"Thank you, Master Hou." Ying Gao stood up and respectfully saluted Li Chen.

Ying Gao sat down again, and then said to Li Chen: "I know that you have been investigating the case of the copper mine these days, and I also asked Zhao Que to release the letter in front of Zhao Que that day. Winning Chang can't die in vain after all, so I've been secretly investigating the case of the loss of the Dongshan Copper Mine. Although I didn't find any conclusive fighting, I still had some clues in my hands. ”

"Is there something else going on with the death of Chang Gongzi?" Li Chen frowned and asked.

Ying Gao shook his head and said slowly: "Ying Chang is also innocent, he died in his unrealistic fantasies. He can't be involved in the death of people in Dongshan Village no matter what, but he is my younger brother after all, and I suspect that Hu Hai and Zhao Gao have been behind this matter. ”

"The relationship between Ying Chang and Hu Hai has always been good, although the two of them want to sit in that position, but there is a Fusu in front of them, and the two of them have no direct conflict of interest before moving to Fusu. Ying Chang is a person with no heart, he accidentally discovered the copper mine in Dongshan, so he secretly ordered the people of the Wang family to mine secretly. Originally, Ying Chang wanted to dedicate all the copper ore to his father after all the copper ore was mined, to surprise his father, and to leak his face in front of his father. But apparently he didn't hide it from Hu Hai, who offered a higher price to the people of the Wang family. In the end, the people of Dongshan Village died, the copper mine was lost, and my brother died. ”

"Ying Chang deserves to die, he was frightened by the people of the Wang family, and poisoned the villagers of Dongshan in a moment of confusion. But he never wanted to monopolize this batch of copper mines, and he didn't feel sorry for his father. Although my brother is dead, he is not a man, and I can't let Hu Hai and them put any pot on him. So I've been looking up, and I'm going to have to figure everything out. Ying Gao's eyes were already overflowing with tears as he spoke.

In the history of the previous life, when Hu Hai was called emperor, in order to protect his family, Ying Gao took the initiative to ask to go to the funeral of the first emperor. You must know that history is written by later generations, and even an emperor like the first emperor does not know how much dirty water has been splashed by others. But in the history of later generations, Yinggao is still a person of filial piety and kindness, which shows that Yinggao really seems to have no black spots.

"What did Childe find out this year?" Li Chen asked.

"Zhao Gao should have hidden a large number of bronze blocks in the city, and all of these copper blocks were smelted. I don't know where these things are, but there's one person who absolutely can't be involved in this matter. Ying Gao said with an oath.

"Who?" Li Chen asked. Looking at Ying Gao's look of conviction, Li Chen knew that he was definitely not talking about it.

"Xu Jing, Xu Jing is Feng Zheng's sworn brother. Xu Jing guarded the south city gate, and Zhao Gao's industries were almost all in the north of the city. For a period of time after the loss of the Dongshan Copper Mine, Zhao Gao's convoy left the north city gate and did not leave, but took a detour through the south city gate, which can only show one point, that is, there is a problem with this batch of goods. Ying Chang said.

Although this Xu Jing is only the guard of the Xianyang City Gate, Xianyang is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and he, the guard of the city gate, is not big, and he is also a five-grade military attaché.

"Childe has any clues in his hand, is there any?" Li Chen asked, he always felt that there seemed to be some hole cards in Wingao.

"Zhao Gao has my people by his side, wait for the Hou Ye to open the mouth from Xu Jing's side. Only when Zhao Gao panicked, my people could find more clues from Zhao Gao's side. Yinggao said.
