Chapter 243 Aren’t We One of Them?
I visited all the remaining rooms.
It seems that this place is a place where wealth is made by mining, refining and casting.
The cave next to it should be used for casting.
It’s time to go back!
Shen Ruyi came to the cave entrance, flashed into the space, observed and waited for a long time.
When I saw the two supervisors who were staring at this side were attracted by the sudden fall of several people.
Take the opportunity to slip out and leave the place quickly.
When I returned to the fork in the road, she was still nowhere to be seen.
It was already past 4 p.m. when I began to feel hungry.
I went back to the space, took off my coat, ate an egg roll, two tomatoes and several strawberries to fill my stomach.
He then put the account books, booklets and banknotes that he had previously put into his arms and wrapped them up again before leaving the space.
I have to go back and send a message to everyone.
Next to "Right 1", there was an arrow pointing in the opposite direction.
Walk quickly towards the cave entrance.
As soon as I walked out of the bed, I saw a strange face.
He was careless and his hands were quicker than his brain. He sprinkled half a bottle of sleeping pills and quickly rushed to the door.
"Little Black Charcoal, stop it, we are one of us."
Just as she reached the door, she almost bumped into the little prince who was about to enter the room. Shen Ruyi dodged to the side and came to the yard.
"Come out all of you, I sprinkled some medicine inside, and the dosage is a bit large!"
Is this a bit big? This is obviously very big, okay?
The four people guarding the tunnel entrance were now all lying on the ground, motionless.
The young prince and his men quickly flashed out and looked at Little Black Charcoal and said,
"You are quick and skilled enough. Do you have an antidote?"
“Who has the antidote for this thing? I definitely don’t have one.
As for the technique, it's just so-so. In other words, your people are not alert enough, and their awareness of prevention is a bit lacking."
Shen Ruyi was putting the blame on others and it wasn't her fault.
After all, I have never seen these faces before. They are all strangers. How can I know if they are my own people?
Little Prince: "..."
"This scene scared me a lot. My little prince, has my sister Yiren come back?"
"No, I haven't seen anyone. Did you meet anyone else in the tunnels?"
"No, did you guys send someone down there too? Why didn't I run into anyone? Maybe they just happened to get sidetracked.
Is there anything to eat here? I'll have something to eat first. I'm almost starving."
"Well, a group of people were sent in not long ago. The young prince sent some food over, but it has been left out for a long time, so it is probably cold."
"It's okay. I'll eat something first. I have to go back later to look for Sister Yiren."
"Okay, Little Black Charcoal, what did you find out here?"
I saw someone move a small table and a small stool over and put them in the yard, and also brought a food box over.
Shen Ruyi opened it without hesitation, quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice, drank a few sips of soup, and then stopped.
"Let the others stay away."
"it is good."
The young prince waved his hand, and the others retreated directly to the gate of the courtyard.
Shen Ruyi described what she saw inside in detail, everything she could say, without any falsehood.
It's just the silver mine, it's just a little exaggerated.
“I have observed it for a long time. It should be a mine of some kind. All I can think of is a gold mine, a silver mine, an iron mine, or a copper mine.
There are quite a few people over there, and there are patrols on the mountain, so the scale is probably not small. If you want to encircle and suppress them, you need enough people.
No matter what kind of mine it is, it is mined privately, which shows that the purpose is great. It would be best if there were more people to wipe it out at once."
After hearing this, the young prince's face changed. If what Little Black Charcoal said was true, then this problem would be serious.
"How do you judge?"
"The only things I can think of that can be done secretly in the endless mountains are either training private soldiers or mining privately.
As for mining, the only things I can think of that are valuable and necessary are these ones that are worth the effort.
Moreover, in the secret passage leading to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I also saw a particularly large area for storing supplies, which hollowed out the entire mountain from the inside.
It feels like a place to store food and weapons. The supplies that were previously placed there should have been moved away.
It's obvious that it's used for rebellion. This is a huge undertaking and it won't be completed in a short time. If you go in and take a look, you'll know that the purpose is probably not small."
The young prince pondered for a few moments.
"The situation is much more serious than I expected. I need to send a message to the palace and wait for the official's decision."
Shen Ruyi suggested, “First send someone to explain the situation to the government, and then send someone to encircle and suppress the mine.
Otherwise, if people hear any sign of trouble and run away, the loss will be even greater.
As for the other mansions, don't be too anxious. They can escape, but the temple cannot. Just guard the exit and wait for them to come."
"it is good."
“Tell the officials that we must have a large number of people, and they must be loyal, and come quietly.
Let’s bring as many people as possible. I think Sister Yiren should have discovered something important or a clue.”
"it is good."
Shen Ruyi dipped her hand in the soup and drew a simple map of the tunnel she had passed through on the table. By the way, she also made marks at the intersections.
Then he drew a route map on the mountain and stopped talking about the cliff. He left the rest to the other party.
By the way, I also talked about why I chose this approach and how much time it took, so that others can use it as a reference.
“Young Prince, you found out earlier that in which year did the Jia family start sending nieces and daughters to the backyards of the rich and powerful?
Imperial Concubine, in which year did you enter the palace? "
This leap in thinking is quite large. The young prince thought about it carefully and said,
"It seems to have started six years ago, and Concubine Ji also entered the palace six years ago. It should have started when Concubine Ji entered the palace."
Shen Ruyi once again felt sympathy for this official, and it showed on her face inadvertently.
"Why, is there something else going on?" asked the young prince.
Shen Ruyi moved closer and lowered her voice and said,
"Young Prince, have you ever thought about what Prime Minister Ji's starting point and motivation were for doing this?
Just to let your grandson take the throne? I don’t think so! "
"How to say?"
"The Prime Minister is second only to the emperor, so who would do something like exterminating an entire clan without any special reason?
Have you ever thought about the possibility that the son born to Concubine Ji is not from the emperor's family at all?"
After hearing this, the young prince's face darkened and he scolded,
"Little Black Charcoal, that's too much! Just these words are enough to exterminate your entire clan."
Shen Ruyi was shocked. He changed his attitude so quickly.
"You don't want to live anymore? If you don't want to live, just say it! Is that something you can just say casually?"
Shen Ruyi said speechlessly, "Young Prince, please lower your voice, we are one family.
Let's just discuss the motivation behind this matter, is there any need to make such a big deal about it?"
The young prince saw the little black charcoal in front of him, looking at him with trust, as if he were his own nephew, talking to him in a daily manner.
Only then did he calm down. He was just a child and he probably couldn't imagine the seriousness of the matter.
