Twenty hills on the outskirts of Taiyuan were contracted to Qi Tian for twenty years, during which Qi Tian was allowed to arrange anything other than to build a house on the mountain or do anything that violated the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Looking at the contents written on the contract, Zhen Huaimin's face suddenly turned pale.

"Give him back the contract." Zhen Huaimin handed the contract in his hand to Zuo Shenhu, turned around and ordered Qinglan again: "You go to Taiyuan Mansion with General Ben." ”

With that, he turned his horse's head and galloped away.

Seeing this, Qinglan hurriedly called everyone to catch up.

The brigade drove into Taiyuan Mansion in a vigorous manner, causing a lot of movement.

The yamen of Taiyuan Mansion was set up in the center of Dongmian Street, and the officials of various departments of Taiyuan Mansion heard the news of the general's presence in person, and hurried to come, and as soon as they entered the door, they felt a chill.

All the officials were puzzled, and they all recalled whether they and the others had done something recently to offend the living king of Hades.

However, after thinking about it, they didn't find a clue, and they all looked up at Wang Shoucheng, the county guard.

Wang Shoucheng walked in front of Zhen Huaimin surrounded by officials, and the general who used to see him always get up and salute his juniors did not get up this time, but only bowed his head at him, and was reluctant to be polite.

"General, what's the matter? What happened to make someone angry with you? Wang Shoucheng asked jokingly.

Qing Lan raised her hand and pointed to the position next to the general, and asked Wang Shoucheng to come and sit.

Wang Shoucheng looked elegant and easy-going, smiled and nodded at Qinglan, and then sat down slowly.

Seeing this, the rest of the officials stood behind Wang Shoucheng one after another, and they had the intention of seeking refuge.

Zhen Huaimin didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "That hill on the outskirts of the city, I heard that it has been sold?" ”

Wang Shoucheng looked back at his subordinates behind him in surprise, "Who sold it?" ”

The official in charge of land management was suddenly taken aback, stepped forward, and replied, "Lord Qiyu, it was rented out by the lower officials. ”

"I wonder what this mountain has to do with the general? General Lawd so angry? The official in charge of the land asked tremblingly.

When Zhen Huaimin heard this, he really sold it, but he felt a rush of anger to the sky, raised his hand to support his forehead, and spit out the depression in his heart after a while.

"When was it sold?" Zhen Huaimin asked in a deep voice.

He didn't want to waste his mind on buying and selling now, he wanted to know who was behind this!

The official in charge of the land thought for a moment and replied: "I sold it in mid-January, and now it's late February, so it's been more than a month. ”

As he spoke, he was afraid that there would be some twists and turns here that he didn't know, for fear of implicating himself, so the official hurriedly explained:

"General, the hill on the outskirts of the city has nothing but some stones, the other party is willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver to contract the stone mining rights for 20 years, the lower officials think that the mountain is all worthless stones, and the other party is willing to pay a high price, so he thinks that he can add some benefits to our yamen, build bridges and pave roads in the coming year, and benefit the people, I really don't know what treasures are here!"

"I don't know what to treasure about?" Zhen Huaimin smiled angrily, "The stones of those mountains are not worthless stones, they are limestone, and for my army, it is the most precious thing!" ”

"Huh?" The official in charge of the land was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and asked for forgiveness, "General, the lower official really doesn't know, please forgive the general!" ”

Wang Shoucheng's brows furrowed, and he asked tentatively, "General, are those stones really so precious?" ”

Zhen Huaimin waved his hand at Qinglan and motioned for him to explain what happened.

Qinglan took the order and told the cement matter, Wang Shoucheng heard it, and for some reason, he saw that Zhen Huaimin was overshadowed, and he felt a little happy in his heart.

So that you don't look down on my daughter Wakamaru, now you will be punished!

But it's one thing to be secretly refreshed, and the problems that need to be solved have to be solved.

Wang Shoucheng asked the official in charge of the land, "If the money is returned, can you still get the mountain back?" ”

The official shook his head with a dishful expression, "My lord, the money has already been spent, even if the silver is intact, we will inevitably fall into the mouth of the tongue if we do this?" Say that we go back on our word and oppress people with power? ”

"So how do you say to solve it? The matter is done by you, and now it is about the border war of my Great Zhou, but the limestone is in the hands of others, what do you say! Wang Taishou glared, and his tone became heavy.

"So, why don't you discuss it with the other party? What kind of limestone are we going to buy back? An official tentatively made a suggestion.

When the words fell, he was immediately slapped by Wang Shoucheng, "Nonsense! What do we buy? Do you have a hundred thousand taels of silver? ”

Zhen Huaimin raised his hand to stop Wang Shoucheng's madness, "Lord Wang, now that the matter has come to this, I'm afraid I have to do this, the other party's calculation is accurate, I'm afraid that he has already gotten the news, he wrapped up all the mountains in advance, for what?" ”

When he asked, he didn't need anyone to answer, so he said again: "In order to dig out the 100,000 taels of silver from the hands of General Ben, and even more, the price that needs to be paid is far more than 100,000 taels of silver." ”

"How's that okay?" Wang Taishou's eyes narrowed, and a ghostly light flashed in his eyes, "Why don't we wait for the crime of obstructing military affairs and put that person to death?" ”

When Qing Lan heard this, her heartbeat skipped half a beat.

Taishou wants to kill Qi Tian, will Lin Meiyi agree?

Qinglan couldn't help but think of the scene when Lin Meiyi dealt with the swordsmanship master alone in the inn, and the swordsmanship master who killed eighteen killers in one sword was not her opponent, if Wang Taishou wanted Qi Tian's life, would Lin Meiyi even kill Taishou?

Although there is no evidence at all, Qinglan has already determined that the boss behind this mine is Lin Meiyi.

Perhaps this is a man's intuition.

However, as a general, he should not agree to Wang Taishou's proposal.

Sure enough, Zhen Huaimin glanced at Wang Taishou coldly, got up and said, "Lord Wang, don't be joking, this general can't do anything about people's lives." ”

After speaking, he arched his hand, "Since this matter has been clarified, I won't bother the adults, and General Ben will solve it by himself." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Wang Taishou watched them leave, and couldn't help but sneer: "Zhen Huaimin, your kid also has today, the old man wants to see, without the support of my Wang family, where are you going to ask for this 100,000 taels of silver!" ”

"Alas~" Thinking of his daughter's marriage, Wang Taishou, as a father, still couldn't help but sigh.

got up and waved his hand, signaling that the big guys were scattered, and walked slowly home alone.

As he walked, he pondered what other young talents in this annex could be worthy of his own daughter.

He still doesn't believe it, he can't marry the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family!
