Chapter 183: Stone Cave
Rong Zhi told Li Shengxi what Zhan Qirui and his wife had discovered.
Li Shengxun was a little surprised, not surprised that Zhan Qirui and his wife had found out, but that Rong Zhi would actually tell her about it.
What Zhan Qirui and his wife found was indeed worth a trip to the hills. But this matter sounds like it has nothing to do with the Zhou family's transportation of saltpeter.
On the contrary, it has something to do with the arms smuggling that she investigated.
Iron has always been a weapon material, and it is difficult not to think about it when the convoy of transportation is deliberately detoured. If the iron supplied by the prefectures and governments of Jiangbei came to Xiaqiu to walk around the city before going to the capital, then the Zhou family would definitely be able to obtain a lot of iron tools from it...... No, if you want to forge weapons privately, the little things in the greedy Mo court are definitely not enough.
The Zhou clan must have had their own private mines in the Jiangbei Prefecture capital, but they were quickly sent to Xiaqiu under the cover of the convoy that escorted the tax silver and ore materials every year.
It's easy to guess about this, but why did Rong Zhi tell her about it? Now that the relationship between them will be broken, they all know that each other has their own ghosts, even if he casually perfunctory her, she will not pursue it too much.
And Rong Zhi said this to her, in addition to testing her, what else was she for?
Li Shengxian lowered his eyes and chuckled.
Rong Zhi wanted to drill into the study, but was suddenly stopped by Li Sheng. She brought Rongji to the back garden.
In fact, as soon as the map of Hongfu arrived in front of her, she saw the clues, and the seemingly ordinary mansion revealed a strange feeling everywhere. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with the layout of the mansion, but as soon as the large map was presented, Li Shengxian felt that it was wrong.
What's more, with Hong Huai's shrewdness and the secret room found in Hu Wenruo's mansion at the beginning. The secret room in the Hong Mansion must be placed in an unexpected place, and as for this place, the first thing to bear the brunt of it is in the back garden where Li Sheng's sense of weirdness is the strongest.
Rong Zhi was a little surprised, but he did not question Li Shengxi's decision. Ning Rushuang will never be untargeted, let alone open-minded, since she brought him over, then there must be her reasons.
Li Shengxing took Rong Zhi to shuttle into the rockery stone forest, Rong Zhi looked at Li Shengxing's figure groping up and down, his eyes were slightly sunken, who is she?
The name Ning Rushuang must not be her real name, how can people with so many skins easily let others see her most real skin.
And Ning Rujin will not be her sister, as for this face, it is definitely not true.
Who is she?
The reason why he said Zhan Qirui just now, except for some reasons that he couldn't explain clearly, he was still sure of one thing, he wanted to use this matter to test Ning Rushuang.
And it is indeed as he thought, Ning Rushuang's coming to Hongfu is mostly related to the incident he just said.
What can the tax money and ore come to Xiaqiu for?
Silver...... Iron...... Rong Zhi was stunned, and then he couldn't help gritting his teeth, the Zhou family was really bold, they dared to get contaminated with anything, and they were not afraid of getting their shoes wet.
In his thoughts, Li Shengxun had already touched the mechanism, she took out a dagger, pryed the raised stones on the stone wall, and then buttoned it around, and then, a doorway appeared at the end of the stone wall.
Li Shengxi and Rong Zhi glanced at each other, Rong Zhi understood, hurriedly picked up a branch and threw it into the stone cave, and the next moment, several rows of arrows shot out from the arms of the stone cave.
Fortunately, I took precautions, otherwise, I am afraid that I have become a hedgehog at this moment.
"This mechanism ......"
Li Shengxian smiled lightly, "I still have some skills."
After she finished speaking, she turned the dagger in her hand, the arrow had stopped, and Rongzhi threw another branch into it, without any movement.
Li Shengxian walked in, and Rong Zhi hurriedly followed.
Soon after the two entered, the door to the cave was closed, and the cave was plunged into darkness.
Rong Zhi burst into flames, and rows of stairs appeared in front of him, "Mrs. Ning also knows the formation, and she has learned so exquisitely? When the lady is practicing martial arts, she also learns these?"
"When Rong Lang was studying, except for the book of sages, he didn't see any wasted martial arts." Li Sheng retorted
Ridicule each other.
"How can Rong be compared to a lady." Rong Zhi chuckled lightly, and continued: "I'm just curious, who did the eldest lady Ning learn from, and she was able to teach the eldest lady to be so omnipotent."
"Don't dare to be." Li Shengxi didn't answer his clichés, but when she thought of something, she smiled slightly: "But the family teacher is indeed a rare hero in the world, and in my heart, it is also a peak that no one can surpass."
Brother is unmatched.
However, in addition to her brother, she has many teachers, including political opponents with disagreements and rivals with competing interests...... In short, those who had malicious intentions towards her but never killed her were her teachers and taught her a lot.
"Really? I don't know who the surname is, which Coats it is? If Rong has the opportunity, he would like to meet one or two." Rong Zhi was a little curious.
Li Shengxing glanced at him and didn't say anything, but Rong Zhiming saw a few words from that cold face - you don't deserve to know.
The people in front of me have always understood etiquette, and rude things and rude words have never been done or said, but even if they don't do or say, they can show it, and that's how it is now.
Rong Zhi was stunned for a moment, but there wasn't much annoyance, but he was curious. What kind of person actually made Ning Rushuang care so much, and made her so unapologetic about him.
A rare hero in the world, who can be called like this, means that this person will definitely not be a mediocre person.
But it's also true, how can a mediocre person teach a heroine like Ning Rushuang.
Speaking of this, the two of them were speechless all the way, Hong Huai's mechanism is really mysterious, and the slightest carelessness is ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, but Li Shengxian is extremely adept, seeing the move, soon, they passed through the heavy corridor and entered the secret room at the end of the stone gate.
"Where is this?" Li Shengxun asked suddenly.
"After entering the cave, we made many circles, and this location, this distance, should be the northwest corner of the back garden." Rong Zhi gently knocked on the top of the stone wall, and then put it on his head, "Yes, it's the northwest corner, and this place is the Inner Lake of Hongfu."
"Neihu, important things are arranged under the lake, and I don't know what Hong Huai is thinking." Li Shengxing chuckled and quickly opened the last stone door.
As soon as I walked in, I saw rows of bookshelves, which looked like a small study.
"It's a pity that I didn't bring Meng Niangzi." Rong Zhi looked at the countless account books on the shelf, and suddenly had a headache.
"It's not necessary to read every book, Hong Huai wants to clear the account books himself, and he must classify them." Li Sheng's dark color is dark and unknown, so many things can be seen how long he has been in business.
The two of them soon got busy.
