When the prefect heard his subordinates' words, his brows furrowed slightly.

It has been less than a month since he took over the gambling stone shop, and the stone has been exhausted so quickly. However, thinking that at the beginning, Mrs. Pei only received twenty guests a day, and now it seems that they could have used this amount for about a longer time. I just canceled this limit myself. so the stone was going to be used faster than he thought.

Having said that, didn't Mrs. Pei already tell him where those stones were placed? He just needs to find someone to carry the stone back, and he doesn't need to worry at all, the stone will run out.

What's more, according to Mrs. Pei, the stones there are inexhaustible and inexhaustible, and in a short period of time, the prefect feels that he doesn't have to think about this problem at all. After all, he had already sent someone to investigate, hadn't he?

Before he was done dealing with his own problems, he believed that the stones would be enough.

When the prefect thought of this, his original frowning brows were gently stretched.

His fingers tapped on the table, glanced at his subordinates, muttered for a long time, and said, "Since it is gone, then arrange for someone to collect the stones, haven't you already sent someone to see it before?" What to do after that, you should know very well, right? ”

The shopkeeper is the confidant of the prefect, and naturally he also knows the big and small things in the prefect's mansion, and when he hears the prefect say this, he already knows it in his heart.

The shopkeeper lowered his body slightly, bowed respectfully to the prefect, and then responded: "Yes, the small ones will be arranged, please rest assured." ”

This shopkeeper has been in charge of the prefect for many years, and from a very early age, he has been by the prefect's side, and he knows the trust of the prefect, and the ability to do things is very strong, and he hardly needs the prefect's heart. Therefore, the prefect was very relieved of him.

Hearing his subordinate say this, the prefect nodded with satisfaction and waved at him.

"You go down first, and then report back to Lord Ben in time."

The shopkeeper seemed to have thought of something, and before turning around, he turned back again, lowered his head and said respectfully: "My lord, the terrain of the place where the stones are collected is dangerous, and I am afraid that more people need to be arranged." ”

The prefect pondered for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, then let's arrange more, you look at it, those stones must be transported back." His tone didn't fluctuate much, but the shopkeeper immediately knew what he was thinking.

"Yes, the little one stepped back first." The shopkeeper gently closed the door, and then glanced at the door in front of him, as if through this door, he could still see the expression on the face of the prefect.

In the end, he still said this, for no other reason, even though he knew very well what the prefect would choose, he still spoke.

And the attitude of the prefect, as he expected, did not make the slightest difference.

No matter how much effort it takes, no matter how many people you find, you have to bring the stones back. The prefect is such a person who only cares about the result, and as for the process, for him, it is not important at all.

And the terrain of that place is dangerous, and the shopkeeper knows very well just by hearing about that scene that even if someone with martial arts is sent to go, it will carry a lot of dangers. But the prefect has already opened his mouth, and even if they go to the soup, they must solve this matter.

That's what these people do.

There was a bitter smile on the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth, what has been the prefect's temperament over the years, will he not know? As the second-in-command beside the prefect, he has done a lot of things for him, so he naturally knows the tricks in it.

The prefect doesn't care about the people around him at all, he only cares about whether his own things can be successful, and other things are not important at all.

Such a ruthless man is the prefect he knows.

After so many years, although the shopkeeper's heart has long been very clear, there is still a trace of coldness. But he is just a person in charge, although he knows the trust of the prefect, but in fact, he has no right to speak, and he is just under the command of the prefect, that's all.

In the end, he is actually no different from those subordinates.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper didn't say anything more, turned around and left silently.

Whatever the prefect says, he does.

The prefect didn't know what his second-in-command was thinking, he had always only cared about whether he could do his own things well, and he didn't care about other things at all.

As long as these people do things according to their own ideas, and he pays them silver taels, isn't that enough, what else do they need to do?

According to the instructions of the prefect, the shopkeeper quickly arranged for people to travel long distances to collect stones. The shopkeeper has always had a question in his heart, why do those ordinary stones actually produce jade? This is not normal at all, but it turns out that the stone does come out, and there is a very valuable jade.

He'd seen it in the store too, and the price was definitely expensive. It is precisely because of this that he feels even more puzzled.

But he watched the jade come out of the stone with his own eyes, and although the probability of such a thing was very low, it was not impossible. The shopkeeper has been in disbelief until now.

The facts were right in front of him, and he had to believe them. What is the principle of this, the shopkeeper has never figured it out. Could it be that in this world, there really is such a stone with jade? How come no one has ever found out before?

This gambling stone shop, until that Mrs. Pei appeared, there was such a novel game, before the change, so many people had never heard of such a thing, this matter itself, is strange enough.

He couldn't find a more appropriate explanation for all this, but the doubts in his heart never disappeared.

Looking at the strange rocky scene in front of him, the shopkeeper looked around, the surroundings were quiet, and layers of fog surrounded this world, and they drifted faintly, as if once a person stepped in, he could not distinguish between reality and dreams.

Rao is a well-informed shopkeeper, and he never thought that there would be such a scene in this suburb.

Could it be that the stones bred in this heaven and earth will have jade in them? If it is because of nature, this is indeed inexplicable by common sense.

The shopkeeper sighed softly and waved at the people behind him, telling them to move the stones. Is it true or not, if you move back, won't you see the real chapter?

What's more, he didn't think that Mrs. Pei was lying. After all, such a difficult environment is really not something that ordinary people can step into.

It is often said that good and bad go hand in hand, and it takes a lot of effort to get these precious stones. Rao is the people he brought this time are all elites, and their strength is not low, and it took a lot of time and money to get here.

If the prefect's task is successfully completed, then it is easy to say. But at present, the shopkeeper is not familiar with the environment here, I don't know what kind of danger will be hidden in it, the shopkeeper has always been used to doing things in a familiar or relatively safe environment, but to come to such an environment, or the first time.

The prefect's request, he couldn't refuse, although he didn't know the bottom of his heart, but the shopkeeper still came hard.

Right now, in such an unfamiliar environment, he can only let the people below explore. After all, he is a man who is powerless, and he can't do such heavy work as carrying stones.

A group of people who came with him saw the gesture of the shopkeeper and immediately understood what they should do. They looked at the scene in front of them, waited in place for a while, listened carefully, and when they did not perceive any danger, they moved forward one after another.

Countless black shadows slowly sank into the white mist, gradually disappearing.

The shopkeeper watched his subordinates gradually disappear in front of him, and for no reason, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart, but he quickly put this uneasiness behind him. After all, so many of his subordinates are together, even if something really happens, everyone can solve it together.

With so many masters, is it possible that the difficulties cannot be solved?

When the shopkeeper thought of this, his heart suddenly stabilized a lot. Fang Cai's uneasiness, as if it was just an illusion, never appeared.

He just stood where he was, quietly waiting.

There was silence in the white mist, as if no one had ever appeared, and the shopkeeper frowned slightly, but did not say anything. These people probably went into the depths to look for the stone, after all, he had heard Mrs. Pei say before, how to identify whether there is jade in the stone, this requires a certain amount of eyesight.

And in this heavy white mist, in such an environment, it is still a little difficult to identify the stones with jade.

Just here, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time, and the shopkeeper can only find a stone to sit down and wait slowly.

Of course, I still have to let my subordinates carry some more ordinary stones back later, and Mrs. Pei specially told her that if there are no ordinary stones, then the business of this gambling stone shop will lose a lot of money. After all, everyone can't cut out jade, they still need income when they gamble on stone shops.

So these ordinary stones are the source of their income.

After all, there are still a few stones that can really open jade.

When the shopkeeper heard the prefect relay Mrs. Pei's words like this, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

I didn't expect such a woman from the countryside to have such wisdom. Rao is a person like the prefect who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, and he can't help but be amazed at Mrs. Pei.

It is conceivable how peculiar this Mrs. Pei is.

"Ahh

Just as the shopkeeper was thinking about it, a scream suddenly sounded in his ears.
