"Second Young Master, I definitely have no intention of doubting Prince Rui." Duan Wenjun looked at him and smiled bitterly. "If your Prince Rui's palace has something to do with this gold bandit, do you still need to rely on the palace's support?"
"Then what do you mean?" Chai Jingyun's anger subsided and she stared at him and asked again.
"I guess Mr. Duan is talking about people from Jingli." Lou Loulou frowned slightly and took over the topic, "If the backer of the golden bandit is some people from Jingli, and then involves Jingzhou, then Once we get to Lingxiao County, no one here can control it."
"People from Beijing?" Chai Jingyun was surprised when he heard this.
"That's right, only people in Beijing can do this." Lou Loulou frowned, with an angry look on his face. "If it weren't for that person, how could my father be dismissed? How could he end up with hatred?"
"Lou Lou, do you already know who framed your father?" Chai Jingyun was overjoyed and turned to stare at him.
Lou Loulou shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, "How is that possible? If I could find out his identity, why would I endure it until now."
Lou Loulou's anger was soaring.
He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, and the veins on his arms popped out, as if he was enduring great pain.
"Mr. Duan, how confident are you that you can capture Shan Fengshan?" Lou Loulou stared at him and spoke again, "If we capture Shan Fengshan, how confident are we? What's the point of recruiting them out of the capital?" Are people supporting them?”
"You two, to be honest, I really don't have any plans." Duan Wenjun showed a wry smile. "I really just feel that there is such a huge hidden danger next to my Duanjia Fort..."
"Take Shanfeng Mountain and give you half of the gold mine on the mountain!" Chai Jingyun interrupted him directly.
"Second Young Master, what are you talking about?" Duan Wenjun was stunned when he heard this. "This gold mine is strictly controlled by the imperial court. If I take it, wouldn't I be the same as these gold bandits?"
In his heart, he became very shocked and even a little scared.
He didn't know what Chai Jingyun had planned in his heart.
He has determined that Chai Jingyun probably already knows that he is here for Jinsha.
He even regretted whether it was a wrong decision to come to Chai Jingyun himself.
"No matter how strict the imperial court controls the gold mines, what's the use of gold mines in the hands of gold bandits?" Chai Jingyun's face became extremely serious. "Brother Duan, I believe that Moon Island is a special case. Since in this world With one special case, it is not impossible for a second special case to appear. If you really have a way to deal with Shan Fengshan, I, Chai Jingyun, can use my Prince Rui Mansion as a guarantee to protect your half of the gold mine."
"Second Young Master, you really praise me too much." Duan Wenjun was very hesitant, "I'm just a small businessman from Wangjiang. How can I..."
"Is there anything in the world that you dare not do?" Chai Jingyun smiled upon hearing this, and his smile was intriguing. "If I guessed correctly, you must have obtained the gold sand from Shan Fengshan, right?"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the room.
Duan Wenjun's expression changed drastically.
Just when he was about to argue, Chai Jingyun spoke again, "The newly built Wangjiang Inn in Wangjiang County is hosted by the famous architect Lin Nanzhun. What he is willing to host will cost at least hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands." Two taels of silver. I believe that no matter how rich your Duan family is, you can't be that rich!"
"When I was chatting with Zhang Yucheng last night, he told me that he once encountered a team of Orions when he was patrolling, and they indeed passed through Shanfeng Mountain and entered Laoshan. Combined with your analysis yesterday, he I also think it is possible for people from Shan Fengshan to transport gold sand through Laoshan."
"From Wangjiang County to Lingxiao City, who doesn't know that your brother Duan is a very busy man? You ignored the thousands of people who migrated from Moon Island and made a special trip to Lingxiao City to see me. I really don't believe it. You can Not someone who likes to visit."
"Especially when you came here and said nothing else but Shan Fengshan, it made me think too much. I was thinking that if the group of hunters they met were gold bandits, then they must have taken the gold sand Taken out."
"So, why is Brother Duan so nervous about Shan Fengshan? It can't just be because he and Duan Jiabao are separated by a mountain! I believe it more, and it's not just because he is afraid that they will instigate the people of Moon Island."
"We have also received reports in the past few days that someone is secretly selling gold sand in Jingzhou. I believe this is definitely not the work of gold bandits, because they have always had fixed sales channels and never sell in bulk."
"So I was wondering, could there be such a coincidence? Your Duanjiabao guards were training in Laoshan, and they happened to meet the gold bandits transporting gold sand. Then, the gold bandits may have died, so they The gold sand brought out naturally fell into Duanjiabao."
"Brother Duan is not worried that Shan Fengshan's people will rebel against Moon Island, but he is worried that Shan Fengshan's people will attack Duan Jiabao!"
Hearing Chai Jingyun's words, Duan Wenjun was so frightened that cold sweat ran down his spine.
He originally thought that by joining Chai Jingyun's line, he found a backer for himself.
Even though he was interested in Shan Fengshan, his goal was just a few bags of gold sand to finance the construction of Duan's inn.
The credit for finally pacifying Shan Fengshan naturally fell on Chai Jingyun.
At least, he is a member of the royal family after all and can help him play his emotional cards in the capital.
But he didn't expect that cleverness would lead to mistakes. Chai Jingyun had already analyzed himself thoroughly.
Moreover, his every move in Duanjiabao has long been completely under his control.
He said it was a guess, but who knew if someone actually told him?
This feeling is very bad.
Seeing Duan Wenjun remain silent, Chai Jingyun smiled again and said, "Brother Duan, to be honest, I'm actually a little sad! Do you still remember what you said about us drinking together one night when you first came to Lingxiao City?"
Duan Wenjun was stunned again.
"It's you who said that the people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least. It's you who said that the people are water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it." Chai Jingyun did not wait for his answer, but smiled lightly. "Don't look at me when I'm drunk, but I remember everything. Brother Duan, do you remember what I said to you after you finished speaking?"
Duan Wenjun was immediately stunned.
He drank a little too much that night, and when he thought about what he said later, he felt a little scared.
Thinking that everyone was not very sober after drinking, he was still glad that he didn't remember it when he woke up.
He didn't expect that Chai Jingyun not only remembered it, but also remembered it very clearly.
He didn't even expect that Chai Jingyun would actually say something to him after listening.
He really didn't remember what Chai Jingyun said...
"I said, although I couldn't completely agree with what you said at the time, there was a lot of truth to it. Just based on those words, just based on your twenty-two words of mantra, I recognized you as a brother, a brother who fell in love with me at first sight. ." Chai Jingyun let out a long sigh, "Now that we have decided that we are brothers, we should act with sincerity. As long as you think it is right, I will support you."
"Brother Duan, although we didn't burn incense or worship heaven and earth, since we kowtowed together, I will definitely recognize this brother." Chai Jingyun's face became extremely solemn. "I don't know if Brother Duan has any regard for me, Chai Jingyun, in his heart." How about being brothers?"
Duan Wenjun was stunned when he heard this.
That night, he kowtowed to Chai Jingyun and became brothers?
It seems that I really drank too much that night...
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is a little impression...
"Brother Duan, ever since the imperial edict came down from Moon Island, we have been like grasshoppers on a rope. Brother Duan has now been marked with the mark of Prince Rui's Mansion, and even more so with the mark of the eldest princess's aunt. So, no matter what, As long as you don't violate your conscience or principles, I will support you. That's why I will follow you here."
Hearing this, Duan Wenjun suddenly felt a little ashamed of himself.
However, being a human being in two lives, especially the betrayal he experienced in his previous life, forced him to think more about things.
Although he couldn't fully tell how much sincerity there was in Chai Jingyun's words, he had to admit that he was infected by Chai Jingyun's impassioned words.
He looked at Chai Jingyun and sighed, "Second Young Master, what should we do now?"
"I know you are short of money now, and I am also short of money." Chai Jingyun smiled immediately after hearing this, "I didn't just say that I would give you half of the gold mine just now. I was really planning to discuss this with the emperor and the eldest princess. It's okay. After all, the banditry in Shan Fengshan is still in Lingxiao County, in the territory of our Prince Rui's Mansion."
Sometimes, Duan Wenjun feels that Chai Jingyun seems too official.
However, he is the son of Prince Rui's Mansion, and he naturally considers issues from the perspective of a relative of the emperor, so he is naturally different from ordinary people.
In particular, Chai Jingyun's character, at least judging from his current interactions, seems to be pretty good.
Half of the gold mine, this is a huge benefit.
Duan Wenjun seemed to have seen a steady stream of gold being delivered from the village.
This reason could not tolerate his refusal.
According to the previous thinking, even if you can get these gold sands and sell them, this is not a normal method.
Because this is illegal.
If the court finds out, he will be beheaded.
If he could gain Chai Jingyun's trust, or even help him clear his name, then the matter would be solved.
Wealth and wealth are found in danger.
Half of the gold mine's profits were worth his while.
