Chapter 185 Doubt

She looked back at the two nuns and the coachman waiting by the carriage in the White Mansion not far away. She could only suppress the idea of ​​drinking a bowl of tea with Shen Cong. Shen Cong waved his hand: "Master Shen, I'll go first, you have to take what I said to heart!"

Shen Cong looked embarrassed.

To get her benefits, this is neither should nor should not be.

Fortunately, she was quickly drawn into the rouge shop.

……

Prince's mansion.

Wei Jiuzhong and Wei Jing are discussing matters.

Wei Jiuzhong frowned: "Was that barren mountain taken away by the third son of the Shen family?"

"Strictly speaking, that is no longer the third son of the Shen family, he has already been expelled from the house!" Wei Jing's face was not very good: "The last time I felt that there was something wrong with Xishan, I ordered my subordinates to investigate. Those people yesterday Bring back accurate news, saying that there should be iron mines under the West Mountain, and the amount is not small! If the mountain is still in the hands of the Shen family, it is not difficult to come here because of the relationship between the leftist and us, but now Shen Cong He was kicked out of the house, but he left this barren mountain alone, and my minister also found out that he has been looking for blacksmiths everywhere recently, presumably he knew that there are iron mines at the bottom of this mountain!"

Wei Jiuzhong put down the teacup: "Zensheng is one step slower!"

Wei Jing bowed his head in remorse: "This is the truth of my brother, please punish me!"

He was so good at admitting his mistake, Wei Jiuzhong couldn't say anything: "Forget it, this is fate! If he has already learned that there are iron mines at the foot of the mountain, and we want to buy them, he will definitely not want to!"

Wei Jing's eyes turned: "It's impossible to buy them all, but we can get a few percent of the shares. He Shen Cong is no different from a lost dog now, and he should also want to find a backer. Isn't Brother Huang the best candidate for him?" ?”

Wei Jiuzhong's gloomy eyes faded, and he smiled a little: "Third brother still has a way, if that's the case, I'll wait for your good news, brother!"

Wei Jing didn't boast too much, and said humbly: "My brother will try his best!"

Wei Jiuzhong stood up, and patted Wei Yan's shoulder affectionately: "Thanks for having you here, otherwise I really don't know what to do!"

"Assisting the emperor is what a minister should do. This is a shameful minister!" Wei Jing quickly knelt down with a flattered expression on his face.

Wei Jiuzhong helped him up: "I said earlier that it's fine in front of outsiders. When there are only us brothers left, you don't need to be too polite. You are the most trusted brother of this palace! It's a matter of great importance. It's inconvenient for Gong to come forward, so I ask my third brother to be more considerate!"

A large area of ​​iron ore means a large number of weapons.

Even if you get it and don't use it, you must firmly hold it in your hands and not fall to Wei Yan's side.

Wei Jing bowed: "Your brother knows, he will do his best to handle this matter for the emperor!"

The two discussed again, and Wei Jing saw that Wei Jiuzhong was tired, so he got up and said goodbye.

When she was going out, she happened to meet Lin Wan, and the maid behind her was holding a bowl of mung bean and lily soup to reduce the heat. After the two met each other, they went their separate ways.

Lin Wan pushed the door open, brought mung bean and lily soup with her own hands, rubbed Wei Jiuzhong's shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I don't think Prince Rui is a peaceful person, His Highness needs to be more considerate! "

Wei Jiu patted the back of Lin Wan's hand again: "Guan'er, you are just thinking too much. The third brother almost grew up in front of me. He will not have any dissatisfaction with me. Have you forgotten? That year in Autumn Hunting, I Injured and attacked by wolves, he was the one who stood in front of me, the wound on his arm is still there!"

Lin Wan could only sigh silently.

The iron ore matter was of great importance, and Wei Jing found Shen Cong in person the next day.

He has been feeling that things are not going well lately.

And all these troubles seem to have something to do with Su Luo.

He had long taken a fancy to a pair of accountants surnamed Zhang, but he didn't make a move. He wanted to wait until the two of them fell down, and then they would have the grace of knowing each other.

However, he is a majestic prince and has many miscellaneous tasks, and such things cannot be remembered all the time.

When he thought about it, he checked and found out that the brothers were really down and out, but they were taken away by Su Luo.

This matter can be regarded as a coincidence, but it is just a pair of accountants. Without them, there are other people, and Wei Jing doesn't care too much.

Next, it is the matter of Jiaxiang Paper Workshop.

On the surface, Bai Yanxi belonged to Wei Jiuzhong, but in fact, he belonged to Wei Jing.

Of course, this is also of great benefit to Bai Yanxi.

If the conspiracy between the two of them is not successful, then Bai Yanxi is still a loyal minister who wholeheartedly assists His Royal Highness. After Wei Jiuzhong takes over, his life will not be too sad.

If it succeeds, then Bai Yanxi will be Cong Long's minister.

That's a great achievement, no one would be envious of it!
As long as the scale is well grasped, Bai Yanxi will not suffer anyway.

Because Wei Jing covets the position above ten thousand people, she has paid attention to all kinds of information these years. She was looking through ancient books a few days ago, and occasionally got a recipe for man-made paper. After being suppressed to Duke Qi's mansion, the scene of Su Luo showing off his style with Xuanwa paper at the state banquet happened unexpectedly.

The secret papermaking recipe provided by Su Luo has many similarities with the ancient books.

These are little things.

But this time the iron mine has more to do with it.

Iron mines in Yue State were scarce, and some pig iron had to be purchased from overseas at high prices. The only few iron mines in the past were all brought into the hands of the royal family by the Yue Emperor.

Once Shen Cong's iron mine is exposed, he still doesn't know Yue Huang's attitude.

However, according to the laws of the Yue Kingdom, what grows on the ground belongs to whose land.

Even if Emperor Yue wanted to take back the treasury, he had to pay a suitable price, and it could only be taken back with Shen Cong's consent, and it must not be forcibly occupied.

Before that, there are actually many hands and feet that can be done.

It's not impossible to keep some secretly.

After all, folks can only manufacture weapons in large quantities. You hoard iron ore, but you didn't say that you violated any law.

Wei Jing originally only thought about it when he saw that the grass and trees in Xishan were not flourishing. He only thought that the probability was extremely small and didn't bother too much, but he never expected that it was true.

But this time, it was a step slower.

Wei Jing narrowed her eyes slightly. Does this matter have something to do with Su Luo?Was Shen Cong expelled from the mansion because he colluded with Su Luo to harm the head of the Shen family?
So he took the land of Xishan by trick?
Otherwise, it would be impossible to discover the iron ore below so quickly, and even the artisans began to look around.

Could it be that Su Luo told Shen Cong that there was news about iron mines below?

Shouldn't it be!

After all, she is a woman, so she can't care about these things no matter what.

unless……

Unless it's King Fu or the Duke of Qi's mansion, there is something in this regard.

While pondering, Shen Cong had pushed the door open and entered.

He knew that a noble person was inviting him, but he never expected that it would be Prince Rui.

Prince Rui had a close relationship with Prime Minister Bai, and even he seemed to have some ambiguity towards Bai Zhi, so Shen Cong paid a lot of attention to him before.

Although he was awe-inspiring in his heart, on the surface he still knelt down respectfully and saluted.
