Many big families always have some dirty deeds, and the He family is no exception.
"City Lord, I think the secret passage is really redundant. Why don't we block it?"
Zhao Kangping waved his hand and said, "No need, it's fine to keep it."
"..."
After a tour, Zhao Kangping marked out several places on the floor plan of the City Lord's Mansion.
He felt that there was a lot of unused space in the City Lord's Mansion, so it would be better to mark it out, renovate it, or rent it out or sell it.
However, Dongfang Jingrou felt something was wrong.
Because this will affect the integrity of the entire City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion is a separate building complex in Chuanliu City, with no other adjacent buildings. This is not only to highlight the City Lord's status within Chuanliu City, but also to make it look beautiful from the outside.
If the City Lord's Mansion is divided into several parts, it will look ugly and out of place.
The two held different opinions and ultimately failed to reach an agreement.
Seeing that no one was around, Dongfang Jingrou put away her cold expression. She asked cautiously, "Um, can you give me that photo stone?"
Zhao Kangping: "I didn't take any photos, so what if you stay with me?"
She was still worried about leaving the photo stone with him.
She was probably photographed drunk and embarrassed. The thought of this made her feel ashamed.
"What do you want?" Dongfang Jingrou's face was burning, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
Zhao Kangping was almost amused by her. It turned out that she was also afraid sometimes. However, he still refused to give in: "I bought the photo stone, why should I give it to you?"
Dongfang Jingrou was so angry that her head hurt, but she couldn't do anything about him.
She hated being blackmailed.
If she couldn't beat him, she would have taken action long ago.
Zhao Kangping felt that he couldn't go too far, so he said, "Manager Dongfang, it's not impossible for you to have this photo stone. But you have to listen to me."
Her nervousness eased a little, but she was still vigilant and asked, "Tell me, what are you planning?"
"What plot? What are you thinking? You're making me out to be some unforgivable villain. You should know the relationship between me and my senior sister. Just don't talk nonsense. Like I said before, if you want to report my situation to her, you have to discuss it with me first."
"that's it?"
"What else? Do you think I'm attracted by your beauty? Forget it, I don't lack women."
After saying that, Zhao Kangping pushed the door and left.
He was telling the truth, but why did it sound so uncomfortable?
After he walked away, she muttered to herself, "Asshole, since you don't care about me, why did you listen to my crying and comfort me? Bah, so hypocritical!"
Zhao Kangping came to the room where Luo Xueqing was resting. Just as he was about to push the door open, he heard laughter from inside.
It wasn't Luo Xueqing's voice.
He went out early this morning, and his disciple was still asleep.
When he pushed the door open, he saw that there was indeed someone else inside.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Kangping was a little surprised.
In the room, besides Luo Xueqing who was still sitting on the bed, there was also Ji Miaoyan who came to visit her.
When she came, she brought a lot of fruits.
Ji Miaoyan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that this man would enter a woman's boudoir so casually.
Ji Miaoyan didn't answer, and Luo Xueqing spoke first: "Master, I called her here. I was too bored alone, so I wanted to chat with her. She happened to be nearby, so I asked her to come over."
Luo Xueqing also shook the communication jade slip in her hand.
Wow, we’ve only known each other for a few days and we’re already friends.
It seems that it won't be long before they become good friends who can talk about anything.
But Zhao Kangping felt that this girl was a trouble and a complete troublemaker.
If Luo Xueqing gets too close to her, she will definitely be involved in many dangers.
"Oh, okay, the Sixth Princess is really thoughtful." Zhao Kangping said perfunctorily.
Ji Miaoyan could tell that this man didn't seem to welcome her.
But she still wanted to carry out her plan.
Ji Miaoyan said respectfully, "I heard that Your Excellency is going to become the Lord of Chuanliu City."
Since this wasn't the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she couldn't act like a princess. She knew she had to keep a low profile when she was out and about, and she had to keep her head down.
"Yes, did Xueqing tell you?" Zhao Kangping looked at Luo Xueqing.
Ji Miaoyan: "Well, I know the city lord is in some trouble now. I think I can help you."
Hearing this, Zhao Kangping raised his eyebrows and looked at the Sixth Princess of the Immortal Dynasty.
"Now you want to secure the position of city lord, but the family forces in the city are too powerful to be eliminated. They are even planning to exclude you, right?" Ji Miaoyan said in an orderly manner.
"Many discerning people can see this."
"Then tell me something that the city lord doesn't know?"
"Do you know why they don't want you to remain the city lord?"
"Because I don't come from a powerful family, I can't go along with them."
"This is just one of the reasons, and even just the surface reason. I'm afraid not many people know the deeper reasons. I also saw it in an ancient book and then sent someone to verify it."
"In the mountains thirty miles northeast of Chuanliu City, there's a hidden spiritual ore vein. It's a branch of the underground spiritual vein of the Ziyang Holy Land. However, this vein is buried quite deep and was only discovered a few hundred years ago. However, mining of this vein didn't really begin until He Weiyuan became the city lord."
"This mineral vein should be the property of the Ziyang Holy Land. They mined it privately and didn't report it. What do you think the Holy Land would do if they knew about it?"
It is common knowledge that there are many spiritual veins crisscrossing underground in the Zi Yang Holy Land, and this is also an important reason for the prosperity of the Zi Yang Holy Land.
However, Zhao Kangping had never heard of this branch in the northeast of Chuanliu City.
He paced back and forth, fully aware of the importance of this information. Once it was verified to be true, all the families involved would be liquidated.
Even the elders standing behind them cannot save them.
These spiritual mines belong to the holy land.
The Holy Land will reward these families based on their contributions.
But they cannot steal things that belong to the Holy Land without telling the Holy Land.
Yes, this behavior is stealing.
"Are you serious?" Zhao Kangping was very excited. He felt that this was the real opportunity to bring down the five major families and He Weiyuan.
Winning over those small families, allowing the Qianshang Alliance to enter Chuanliu City, and splitting the five major families are just small ways.
If this is true, exposing it to the public is the right thing to do.
"Miaoyan swears to heaven, if I lie about this matter, I will be struck by lightning." The young princess raised her right hand and swore.
"Then why do you tell me this?" Zhao Kangping felt that she would definitely not tell him this news for no reason.
Ji Miaoyan bowed respectfully and said, "I only ask Your Majesty to accept me as your disciple."
Oh my god, the question has come back to this matter again.
"Well, let me verify the authenticity of this first."
In fact, he didn't want to take her in as his disciple at all. The consequences were too great. It was better to delay it as long as possible.
Hearing that they were going to verify the truth of the matter, Luo Xueqing, who was sitting in bed, became excited. She said excitedly: "Master, I want to go, I want to go."
"Where are you going?" Zhao Kangping asked knowingly. He actually didn't want his disciple to be in danger at all.
"It's that spiritual mine. I want to find it and make it public."
"Are your injuries healed?"
"That's about it, just one more night of rest will do."
"I think you should just stay in bed for a while. I'll make all the arrangements myself this time. Since so many families have come together to do this, the defenses there must be very tight. I'd better go there myself."
With that, he walked out of the room.
Then, he immediately found Dongfang Jingrou and told her about this matter.
"Is there such a thing? How dare they do that?" Dongfang Jingrou said gritting her teeth.
"I'll send the Suzaku secret guards to turn the place upside down." The woman was a little excited.
But Zhao Kangping stopped her, and the woman stared at him in some confusion.
He explained, "A target that's too big will easily be exposed. That spiritual mine is deep underground. Do you think it's an open-air spiritual mine? The entrance must be hidden, otherwise it wouldn't have gone undiscovered for so long."
Hearing this, Dongfang Jingrou also calmed down.
"Then what can you do?"
"Found in the east and attack in the west."
Zhao Kangping looked around and made sure there was no one else around. Then he whispered into the woman's ear.
Chapter 185 Underground Mineral Veins
The man's hot breath hit Dongfang Jingrou's earlobe.
It made her shudder, and she quickly backed away before she could even hear what he said.
"Don't blow into my ears. If you want to whisper, use telepathy." Dongfang Jingrou's pretty face turned slightly red. She always felt that the man was deliberately teasing her.
Seeing that she was somewhat resistant, Zhao Kangping knew that he was too rash.
Ultimately, it’s still because the favorability is not enough.
So he switched to voice transmission.
His plan is simple.
First, a large number of Suzaku secret guards were sent to the Wang family to search for evidence. The reason was naturally the series of kidnappings committed by Wang Xiao.
He had built such a large altar underground in Chuanliu City, kidnapped so many people, and even had illegal drugs on him from unknown sources. It looked like an organized and premeditated crime.
There is a high possibility that other evidence of crimes will be found in Wang’s house, and there may be accomplices.
It would be best if this matter could be made known to the whole city, or even reported to the Holy Land.
If possible, it would be even better if we could inflict some serious damage to the Wang family.
In this way, the attention of He Weiyuan and the five major families would definitely be diverted to the city.
At the same time, Zhao Kangping and Dongfang Jingrou went to investigate the location of the underground mineral veins.
Why should she go with him?
Of course, it’s because Manager Dongfang knows the earth-walking technique, so he can save a few earth-escaping talismans.
Is it possible that it is less tiring for men and women to work together?
After discussing it, the two decided to go there first to check it out.
Not long after they walked out, a snow-white figure poked her head out from the corner of the wall. Her pink eyes turned around, as if she was thinking about something.
……
On this day, the Suzaku Hall of the Ziyang Holy Land dispatched hundreds of people to surround the Wang family residence in Chuanliu City.
Wang Xiao of the Wang family was suspected of colluding with evil cultivators and was also involved in the recent kidnapping cases in the city. The Holy Lord ordered a thorough investigation.
During this sensitive period, anyone who has anything to do with evil practitioners will easily become the target of public criticism.
At first, the Wang family wanted to resist violently and even moved out their great-uncle who served as an inner sect elder in the holy land.
But when they heard that it was the Holy Lord's intention, they all wilted.
