52. Cooperation

Chen Ran saw this house full of iron and stone ore, and his heart suddenly stabilized, just these things, now immediately hand them over to the inspection department, it will be a great merit immediately.

The imperial court did not allow private individuals to have so many iron ore deposits, and it was already an ironclad proof of private iron ore trading.

This Su Buqing was able to get to the point so straightforwardly, and show all these in front of him at once, which has already shown his greatest sincerity.

However, now is not the time to turn it in, and he also wants to find out what the situation of this Frost Moon Sect is.

He sat on the iron box, motioned for Su Buqing to sit down as well, and asked, "Don't worry, tell me first, where did these iron deposits come from?" ”

Su Buqing replied: "These are all mineral deposits from Sichuanzhou, Jizhou, and even Huizhou. Because the government made steel, I used the iron guide issued to me by the government, bought a little here and a little there, and then collected them one by one and hid them here. ”

When Han Qingying heard this, she frowned and said, "As far as I know, isn't there a quota on the iron lead?" Generally, it is not always one hand to lead the iron and one hand to deliver. When those mines give you goods, don't they accept your iron guides? ”

Su Buqing sneered: "As long as you have this qualification and spend some money, these are not difficult to do." In the officialdom of the Great Ping Dynasty, is there anyone who is not greedy? ”

Han Qingying was stunned for a moment and wanted to refute it, but found that there was no way to refute it.

But I heard Su Buqing continue: "I originally disdained to do this kind of thing. Besides, although my Su Yuan is a family of knife casters, the annual output is limited, and I can't use so much. About four years ago, the princess of Zhennan, also known as Mrs. Huayin, came to me, and when she heard that I had iron leads, she wanted me to get iron ore from all over the country, and she was responsible for helping me get the officials of the mine and the tax cards along the way.

The first time I was approached, I sternly refused. Who knew that the princess of Zhennan was named Taifei, and she actually used the next means to poison me. At that time, in order not to be succeeded by her, I forcibly removed the poison, but I injured my kidneys, and I will not be able to have children from then on. ”

When he said this, the expression on his face was still the same, but his tone was a little gritted teeth, obviously with hatred in his heart.

When Han Qingying heard this, she couldn't help but let out an 'ah', and then covered her mouth in embarrassment.

Chen Ran smiled slightly: "This matter is difficult for others to talk about, but Mr. Su said it generously, which shows that he is honest and upright." ”

Su Buqing showed a wry smile on her face and continued: "Later, the princess of Zhennan learned about this matter secretly, so she didn't do anything and kidnapped my younger brother and sister. You must know that I can no longer pass on the ancestry, and the continuation of my Su family's incense fell on my younger brother Su Bushi, who was extremely vicious. It's not a pity for me to die myself, but I can't let the Su family die, so I have to agree to her request.

I've done a lot for them in the past four years. I also knew about their organization, the Frost Moon Sect, and I originally thought that their main altar was in Longquan Villa, but after several investigations, I couldn't find where my brother and sister were hiding. Speaking of which, I haven't seen my brother and sister for four years. Honestly, I'm not even sure if they're alive or dead. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Han Qingying's official uniform and sneered: "A few years ago, I sued the official more than once, but from the Inspectorate to Luoyang Mansion, no one dared to take my case. ”

When Han Qingying heard Su Buqing's words, as a member of the official mansion, she suddenly felt a little ashamed.

She suddenly remembered that the reason why Mrs. Huayin was able to call the wind and rain in Luoyang for so many years was not because she was protected by the government because of her royal status?

She was thinking again, if someone came to her to sell money to sue the emperor's relatives, would she accept the case?

But then she shook her head secretly, as a head catcher, she was not qualified to accept the complaint.

When Chen Ran heard Su Buqing's narration, he thought to himself that this Su Buqing was not a wicked person, and he had a deep enmity with the Frost Moon Sect, so he might be able to use it for himself.

He thought for a moment and asked, "After you collect these iron ores, how are you going to deliver them to the Frost Moon Sect?" ”

Su Buqing replied, "I didn't hand it over directly to the Frost Moon Sect, but handed it over to Sikong Ping, the leader of the Flying Fish Gang. He is a river gang on Caoyun, and he travels goods on the Yellow River and canals all year round. As far as I know, in addition to transporting these iron ores to me, he also participated in the transportation of illicit salt to Mobei.

There is also a part of the delivery to the Pegasus dart board. However, their chief dart leader, Ma Ruliang, has died at this moment. ”

'The Flying Fish Gang Sikong Ping....'

This person Chen Ran also knows that it is the river gang on the canal. His own Changxing Dart Bureau also looked for them to go through the goods.

"Is this Sikong Ping also taught by the Frost Moon?" Chen Ran asked.

Su Buqing shook his head and said, "No, this Sikong Ping is even worse, he himself was poisoned, and he has to go to Longquan Villa every year to seek an antidote." In addition, his family, old and young, is under control, and should be locked up with my family. ”

"Oh... It's also coerced. Chen Ran said softly. In this way, that Ma Ruquan is already the best treated, but he was given a child and mother worm. Of course, it could also be because he was more faithful.

Su Buqing continued: "I have a deep friendship with this Sikong Ping, and he thinks day and night that he also wants to kill this Frost Moon Sect and rescue his family. ”

"You mean, he can be used by us, too?" Chen Ran asked.

"Exactly!" Su Buqing said.

Chen Ran stopped talking, and thought silently in his heart.

After a while, he suddenly spoke: "Mr. Su, how far can you go in order to bring down the Frost Moon Sect?" ”

Su Buqing stood up and said with a straight face: "As long as I can rescue my younger brothers and sisters and let my family continue, I will not hesitate to break my bones." ”

"Good!" Chen Ran also stood up and said, "Then you can find a way to contact this Sikong Ping and let him play a play with you." ”

"Acting?" Su Buqing's face showed a look of doubt.

Chen Ran said his plan in general, Su Buqing's face was solemn, and he nodded slightly.

He actually didn't know if Chen Ran's plan was reliable, but this was indeed a better opportunity.

Then, Chen Ran grabbed Su Buqing's wrist and began to take his pulse.

Su Buqing didn't know what Chen Ran wanted to do, so he let him do it.

Chen Ran listened carefully to Su Buqing's pulse, since ancient times, medicine and poison have not been separated, and he immediately heard that Su Buqing was poisoned by Sichuan Wuqing.

The poison does cause significant damage to the kidneys, but it is not an incurable disease. But there is no need to tell Su Buqing now.

At that moment, Chen Ran and Han Qingying left the Mineral Deposit Hall, and Su Buqing began to act according to Chen Ran's request.

When Chen Ran and Han Qingying walked to the back door, they saw that Fang Xiaohui's body had been carried in.

Chen Ran approached Fang Xiaohui's corpse, took out the wooden box from his arms, and after opening the box, the female worm inside was chirping happily.

There was also a subworm in Fang Xiaohui's corpse, and at such a close distance, the female worm seemed to be very happy.

Chen Ran pulled the female insect with his fingers, and the sound of the female insect immediately turned into panic.

After a while, I saw Fang Xiaohui's lips move slightly, and a small insect crawled out of her mouth with blood, and then crawled into the wooden box.

The mother and child worms suddenly saw each other, and saw that the child worms kept rotating around the mother worm, and they looked very excited.

Han Qingying watched from the side, and she only felt very interesting.

'Reuse, this worm is really good. ’

Chen Ran nodded with satisfaction, took the wooden box into his arms, and beckoned Han Qingying to leave together.

Next, it's up to Sikong Ping and Su Buqing.
