Nongmen Fu girl group’s daily favorites

Chapter 370 Worth the Trip
Shen Jia, Xiao Yichen and Shen Hao came to the yard where they left their staff.

Several staff members were still lying quietly on the ground, their faces pale, their brows furrowed, and they were sleeping very restlessly.

Shen Hao stepped forward and unblocked their acupoints.

Several people woke up slowly, and before they even opened their eyes they felt their whole bodies were icy cold and sore. Even their hands and feet were so stiff that they couldn't move. Before they could figure out what was going on, they heard a voice above their heads.

Xiao Yichen looked down at them and said, "Answer the questions honestly when you wake up, and you will be spared physical pain."

One of the staff members recognized Xiao Yichen's voice, opened his eyelids with great effort, and said in a trembling voice: "Are you the crown prince?"

Xiao Yichen did not hide it: "Yes, it is this king."

When the other staff heard Xiao Yichen admit his identity, they knew they would definitely die today, and they trembled like sieves: "I'll tell you everything, I just ask Your Highness to give me a quick death and not let me suffer."

Shen Jia looked at them with disdain. They surrendered before she and Xiao Yichen even started to interrogate them. How spineless!
Many scholars of this era think they are noble, but in reality they are just cowards who cannot carry any load or effort. When faced with problems, they become weak in the knees, just like these aides, who have no integrity and no pride.

This cannot continue.

Even if you don't want to die rather than surrender, at least you should have some literary character!
It seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement in Da Zhou's education.

While Shen Jia was still deep in thought, those aides began to tell him everything they knew and planned, like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

I learned from them that the gold dug from the gold mine was refined by professionals. Ten days ago, they used the gold to buy a batch of food and grass from the richest man in Mocheng, and asked the people of Black Wind Village to transport it to the Tatar camp through a small road.

And the richest man in Mocheng is the hidden power of Prime Minister Jiang.

It turned out that the richest man in Mocheng had committed the crime of genocide more than ten years ago. It was Prime Minister Jiang who used his connections to save his family, but he was eventually exiled to the northern border.

As time went by, the royal family issued a general amnesty. He was pardoned and started doing business in the northern border.

He had the support of Prime Minister Jiang and was quite skilled in business. He was a well-known profiteer in Northern Xinjiang and soon became the richest man in Mocheng.

Neither Shen Jia nor Xiao Yichen had expected that they would get such important information.

This trip was worth it!
They dealt with a few staff members quickly and efficiently, and immediately used their lightness skills to head to the home of the richest man in Mo City.

In their view, the richest man in Mo City was not only Xiao Hongbin's man, but also a ruthless businessman. If they didn't get rid of him, he would become a disaster sooner or later.

With the map of Mo City given by Xie Feng, the three of them easily found the home of the richest man in Mo City.

With the information provided by his staff, Xiao Yichen went to deal with the richest man in Mo City first, while Shen Jia and Shen Hao went to his warehouse first.

The warehouse is huge, and it has everything: silks and satins, gold, silver, jade, pearl utensils, rare calligraphy and paintings, and rare medicinal herbs from the north.

There are also several smooth, shiny, fluffy and soft tiger furs.

Among those rare medicinal herbs there was actually an 800-year-old top-grade ginseng, and some medicinal herbs that Shen Jia had only seen recorded in ancient medical books. These were good things that could not be bought even with money.

Shen Jia took out a piece of silk cloth and tore it into several pieces. "Brother, let's take back those tiger furs and the rare medicinal herbs over there."

Shen Hao obediently picked up the silk cloth and packed up everything that Shen Jia thought was necessary to take away.

The two men came out carrying their bags, Xiao Yichen also came back, and the three of them went straight to the study.

Shen Jia found the secret compartment where the silver bills were kept with ease and took out all the silver bills inside. She roughly counted them and found that there were 10,000 taels of gold bills and 500,000 taels of silver bills.

What surprised them was that underneath the banknote was a letter from Xiao Hongbin to the richest man in Mocheng.

The letter stated that he was responsible for purchasing food and fodder, and the date was exactly half a month ago. Shen Jia raised the banknotes and letter paper in his hand, smiling with curved eyebrows: "We came here at the right time."

Xiao Yichen and Shen Hao nodded with a smile.

The three of them tiptoed out of the richest man's house.

It was almost dawn. After working all night, everyone was tired and went back to their rooms to rest.

The sun rises in the east. Today, the gates of Mo City are under particularly strict inspection. No matter entering or leaving, one must undergo a detailed inspection before being allowed to pass.

Xie Feng sent people to arrest the families of Xiao Hongbin's remaining forces and the family of the richest man in Mocheng and put them in jail on charges of treason and collusion with the enemy.

The richest man in Mo City cried out that he was wronged and was speechless after Xie Feng took out the letter written to him by Xiao Hongbin.

The prefect of Mocheng was quite dissatisfied with Xie Feng's behavior of interfering in other people's affairs, but after Xie Feng whispered a few words in his ear, he no longer had any objections.

Shen Jia slept until the evening and woke up. After washing up, he went to the living room and found that a guest had come in.

It turned out that the prefect of Mo City learned that Xiao Yichen was living in the general's mansion and came to pay a visit.

"I see you, Your Highness."

"No need to be polite, take a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Highness." The prefect wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a little frightened.

Although the Crown Prince was young, the aura he exuded was so strong that it was frightening. Just sitting there gave people an invisible pressure that made people dare not look directly at him.

Xiao Yichen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, laughing to himself.

Is he so scary?

The secret guards investigated yesterday and found that although the prefect of Mocheng was a little timid, he was a man who got things done. He was not corrupt, nor did he take human lives lightly. He also did not collude with businessmen to do bad things. Moreover, during this extraordinary period, the prices of goods in Mocheng did not rise, which was a very good thing.

As for the remaining forces of Xiao Hongbin, even Xie Feng was not clear about it, let alone him?
Neither of them spoke, and for a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the house.

Shen Jia stepped in and was about to say hello.

When the prefect of Mocheng saw her, he stood up first and bowed: "This humble official greets the princess."

"No need to be polite, sir. Please take a seat!"

After Shen Jia sat down, he noticed that the prefect of Mocheng was only sitting on half of the stool, and he knew that he was an extremely cautious person.

The prefect of Mocheng took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, Princess, the richest man has been arrested suddenly. His businesses are spread across all walks of life, especially the grain and medicine shops, which are bound to be in chaos. If someone is not taken over in time, it will inevitably have a significant impact on Mocheng..."

In the past, all the properties under the name of the richest man would be confiscated by the government, registered by the government, and then sold, and the money obtained would be added to the local treasury.

But today the Crown Prince and the Princess were here, and he didn't know if they had any other plans, so he thought it would be better to ask them before making any decisions.

Shen Jia's eyes flickered. If they controlled the grain and herbal medicine shops in Mocheng, it would be much easier to buy grain and grass. "Why not let Wang Ning take over Shiri temporarily and see if he really has a talent for business?"

Xiao Yichen nodded, turned around and told Lu Cheng, "Go call Wang Ning over."

Xiao Yichen and Shen Jia were of the same mind, so they naturally understood what she had not finished saying: If it was true, they would have an extra layer of guarantee for food and fodder for future wars.

They had gold and silver bills in their hands, and had already decided to let Jiang Zelin send someone to handle the matter. If Wang Ning was added, it would be a two-pronged approach and more secure.
