Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 132 Doubt
"Gold mine?" Zhiruo whispered, frowning, yes, how could she forget this?In her previous life, just before she was shocked to hear that she had "killed" the child in Mrs. Crown Prince's womb, Rudong was talking about the Crown Prince's failed attempt to force him into the palace and was put under house arrest. He also said that the Crown Prince's power could expand rapidly within a few years because of the Crown Prince. One party secretly mined and occupied a large area of ​​gold mines.

But isn't it at Baieling in Xianyun Mountain?She remembered clearly that at that time, Rudong was joking to make her happy: "Everyone used to say that Bai Eling is a goose that does not lay eggs, and nothing will be harvested from it, but they didn't know that this goose only lays golden eggs. It’s just a shining golden goose.”

Could it be that this life has changed and the gold mines have moved to Etou Mountain?impossible?There should be some problem in the middle, for example, the wrong location was found at first, but it was found later, or...

"Yes, sister, it's a gold mine," Li Da's affirmative answer interrupted Zhiruo's thoughts, "I accidentally saw the prince's people that day, so I sent people to keep an eye on them, as well as Baihua Tower." In detail, what he saw was Zhong Kai, an aide next to the Prince of the Duke of Jingguo. After the death of his adoptive father Yin Zhao, because he suspected the Duke of Jingguo, he took a great risk to explore them and found that Zhong Kai He is actually the prince.

Zhiruo nodded, knowing that the two sworn brothers had always suspected that the person behind the murder of their father was the prince.Therefore, when someone discovers that the prince appears in Luo City, they will naturally send people to keep an eye on him.

Li Da continued: "This time the gold mine matter was not handled by the Duke of Jingguo, but by a wealthy businessman named Cui from Lingnan who claimed to be interested in the Feng Shui of Etou Mountain and bought the entire mountain to build there. Villa, because the Cui family's business has been expanding northward in the past two years. By the way, eldest sister, your former maid Ruxia and her family are also involved in this matter. She was recommended by a chief steward of the Cui family named Wen, and The chief steward used to be the steward of the Duke of Jingguo, but he made a mistake and was resold two years ago, and he actually sold it to Lingnan, haha." Obviously, this Cui family is also from the prince's faction.

Zhiruo didn't care much about how the Ruxia family hooked up with the Cui family, but Niu San had always been a lively person. It was normal for him to make friends with relevant officials from various governments when he went out to work.Her mind was now filled with doubts about whether the gold mine was in Baieling or Etou Mountain.

She believed that she would not remember it wrong. So, if in the previous life, she also went to Etou Mountain first and then Baieling, what might be the causes and consequences?When did it change?In other words, when did the prince secretly own the gold mine?

It's a pity that Zhiruo was a well-behaved woman in the backyard or a humble aunt in her previous life. How could she know what was happening outside?What could be heard was Qiu Yiran's occasional showing off or complaining in front of her, or the gossip that Rudong came back from after asking about it.No matter which one it is, it is usually the final result. There is no intermediate process, and if it is, it is briefly mentioned in one or two sentences.

Originally, she had no interest in where the gold mine was, but since the prince was probably her biggest enemy and the mastermind behind the death of her parents, it really wasn't a bad thing to be able to disrupt his ability to further expand his power.Of course, the premise is that their Meizhuang cannot be exposed.

Obviously, Mingze, who had been listening quietly, also thought of this: "If there are really so many gold mines in Etou Mountain, wouldn't the prince's strength be rapid? Sister, brother Cunren, can we do something secretly? "As the prince's strength increases, he will be able to secure his position as prince. If he takes the throne before they have the strength to find out the truth, it will be more difficult for them to seek revenge, unless they really rebel.

Li Da looked at Mingze, who was under 14 years old, with approval, and he thought so too.Although the emperor is now in his prime and in good health, and the crown prince's succession will only happen in fifteen to twenty years, things are unpredictable and the battle for the throne has always been cruel.What's more, the emperor doesn't seem to like the current prince very much. The other princes in the harem seem to be calm, but who knows what is actually going on.Under such circumstances, once the prince mastered a golden mountain and his strength increased rapidly, what he would do, well, he really didn't dare to think about it.The former prince was deposed and the Ming government collapsed. If he said that it had nothing to do with the current prince, he would be the first to not believe it.

Therefore, they must not watch the prince occupy Jinshan.It's a pity, Jinshan can't be burned with a fire, right?
Zhiruoyi raised his eyebrows: "I want to do something. Let the prince occupy it privately. It is better to let the imperial court fill the treasury." Imperial court?Li Da slapped the table: "Yes, I almost forgot one important thing. I wonder if the British prince was sent by the emperor. His people are also staring at Etou Mountain."

"The British prince?" Zhiruo asked in surprise, "That ruffian, Pan Jiaming?" A dandy, the emperor would send him out to do such an important thing?But, uh, Uncle Tie seems to have a good impression of ruffian men. Could it be that he is hiding it deeply?
The siblings had a good understanding. Mingze pursed his lips and said, "I heard my father say many times that the emperor is a wise king who appoints people based on their talents." She probably wouldn't reuse Pan Jiaming just because the queen loved him. "

Li Da asked strangely: "From what you said, you also saw him?"

Mingze shook his head: "I didn't, it was the eldest sister and Xuan'er who met."

Zhiruo briefly recounted what happened that day at "Hao Zai Lai", including the relationship with Pan Jiaming's arrogant cousin Pan Shumin, and the matter of Xiaolian selling her body to bury her father.

Li Da smiled and said: "So that's it. Prince Pan's reputation is indeed not very good, but I'm afraid the rumors cannot be believed. At least, he is definitely not as incompetent as the rumors. According to No. 5's description, he His martial arts skills should not be inferior to mine. No. 5 met him once when he was staring at Etou Mountain. He didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered by him." Fortunately, No. 5 is a veteran secret guard, even if his martial arts skills are not as good as mine. Pan Jiaming, but also hiding in the dark, he can find Pan Jiaming, but it is not easy for Pan Jiaming to find him.

Mingze asked doubtfully: "Sister, Brother Cunren, do you mean to help Pan Shizi? Well, not really. Then Pan Shizi has been keeping an eye on him for a long time? It seems he doesn't need our help."

If Zhiruo didn't answer Mingze's question, she had to solve the doubts in her mind first, and also think about how to tell Li Da and Mingze about this doubt so that Li Da could find out the problem.

Suddenly, Zhiruo's eyes lit up, and she thought of Ru Dong's words again. She raised her eyes and asked, "Brother Cunren, do you think the businessman surnamed Cui said to the outside world that he built a villa in Etou Mountain?"

Li Da nodded: "Yes, that's right. Number 5 also said that Etou Mountain has a good location and beautiful scenery. It is indeed suitable for building a summer resort. He also said that the wealthy businessmen in the south all learn from the richest man Luo Da and know how to enjoy it."
