The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1727 Still That Cave
"Old Dong, see if the cave we went to see a few days ago is in the direction of the maple forest?" Zhao Xu asked something about the maple forest, and then looked at the location of the special maple forest, which was a bit strange, so he That's why I asked.

Not to mention that Dong Zhenhai really looks like him when he asks, does it have something to do with that cave?

At this moment, someone hurriedly ran up to Zhao Xu and whispered something. At the beginning of the period, Zhao Xu's face was a little puzzled, and soon he was full of smiles. Dong Zhenhai didn't know what Zhao Xu was laughing at. .

"Okay, I see, let our people start to act. It seems that these people's abilities are really not average, and they actually came up with this idea."

"What happened to His Highness, you seem to be in a hurry, do you want me to help?" Dong Zhenhai didn't hear what the man said to Liu Qinhu, so he started to ask directly.

"Nothing, do you want to know the living environment of the maple tree? I just have time to talk to you about it." Zhao Xu actually told Dong Zhenhai about the living environment of the maple tree here, and Dong Zhenhai didn't know why. .

Zhao Xu is free at this time, but Chu Zhaofu is not so free. Someone came to the government office early this morning to file a complaint. If he came alone, Chu Zhaofu would not be so anxious. Dozens of people came here all of a sudden. , they all came to report missing persons.

These people are old, weak, women and children, and they all couldn't find their husbands and sons. They all disappeared four days ago, and there was no one alive or dead. What's more, these missing people all have one thing in common, that is, they All craftsmen.

It’s a bit big to say that they are craftsmen. They are all blacksmiths, people in blacksmith shops, and folk blacksmiths. They all disappeared together. Many people are a bit strange.

Moreover, they are all blacksmith craftsmen, which means that their disappearance was organized and premeditated, but what they want so many blacksmiths to do, Chu Zhaofu can only appease the family members, and then exclude the police to investigate to the end what's going on.

But there has been no news for a long time, Chu Zhaofu was a headache, he had to ask Dong Zhenhai to help, in fact, it was Element Yiwei who helped, what ordinary policemen can't do, maybe Su Yiwei can do it .

However, these Su Yiwei did not inform Dong Zhenhai that the person lying next to Zhao Xu's ear just now was the person who was temporarily in charge of Su Yiwei's affairs. Dong Zhenhai didn't tell them. In fact, they had found some clues.

There are private coal miners in Jinling City. These people are local snakes in Jinling City. These local snakes have a good relationship with the government and Su Yiwei. After all, these local snakes want to have a good relationship with the local power faction.

Among them, a businessman from a private coal mine provided Su Yiwei with important news. Recently, someone bought all the coal they had mined for half a year at twice the usual price.

And they don't need to transport it in person, the buyer's people come to pick it up in person, and they don't let them intervene. The businessman is also curious, who has such a big hand to buy so much coal, which is enough for the entire Jinling to survive the winter.

It is not at all clear what they were used for when they were transported there, but it is certain that it is not that simple to use so much coal, and it has not been seen that they have trafficked coal to other places.

"Have you handed over all your goods to them?" The person who asked the question was a team leader of Su Yiwei Jinling, who was in charge of dealing with the small merchants in Jinling City.

On the opposite side is the big businessman in Jinling, Xu Zhensan, who is known as the King of Shang, and it was he who provided the information to Su Yiwei. Even a small coal mine he mined could not meet the needs of customers. He had contacted several Only big businessmen can meet the needs of customers, and if they don't make money, they are bastards.

"The last batch is about a thousand catties. They will come to ship it tonight, and it's almost here now." Xu Zhensan didn't dare to offend the person in front of him. Although he had a lot of money, he had to spend his life. It's true to be a local snake, but that can't be against the court, can it?
"Okay, make arrangements for our people to go back with them today. I want to see what they are doing. Don't worry, this is His Highness's intention. As long as you help us, Jinling will benefit you."

"Thank you Your Highness, I will definitely cooperate, I will definitely cooperate, as long as you say a word, I will go through fire and water." Xu Zhensan knew that this time he was hugged and repelled. This group of people did not know why they offended His Highness the Crown Prince, even if you No matter how powerful the energy is, it's useless, I can only wait to die, Su Yiwei can use me now, I must perform well, so that the benefits in the future will be indispensable.

"Boss Xu put away your little thoughts, but this time the benefits are indispensable to you, but if you leak a little information, the consequences are not something you can bear."

In the middle of the night, a group of people came to haul coal on time. Su Yiwei took advantage of the darkness to sneak in. Their precautions were relatively strict, but the night was the best cover, and they successfully sneaked in.

But this time, only one of the five people who went in came back. When he saw Zhao Xu, he was already dying, but the news he brought back made Zhao Xu excited.

They transported the coal to the mountains, and all the people who followed were killed, probably for the sake of keeping it secret, and this person escaped with great effort.

"Surround Qixia Temple to me, there is indeed a problem. It turns out that there is a manufacturing workshop in the cave, where a large amount of coal is transported to. The burning of a large amount of coal in the cave makes the surface temperature rise, so that the maple trees can grow and turn green. .”

Zhao Xu listened to the narration of this person who had come back by luck, whoever punished the cave they had been to, not to mention what was going on inside, just relying on them to kill so many people to keep them secret, they couldn't easily let them go.

The coal and blacksmiths they need are likely to be used to make weapons and armor. Fortunately, Zhao Xu has already made arrangements to surround the place. He mobilized the surrounding troops, and Jinling City didn't even know about it. Now everything should be surrounded by everyone.

Zhao Xu also started to head somewhere. He was already in Qixia Temple, and now he was going to see the beautiful maple leaves and the cave they went to last time. What was going on inside.
