After the clerk said the word "treasure", he quickly lowered his voice: "According to the news spread in the city, it is said that there is an iron mine near Dashui Village, but only the people in Dashui Village know about it."
iron ore?
Song Shuwan's heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her hands hanging by her legs. If there really was iron ore, it would indeed be regarded as a treasure.
But, is there really one near Dashui Village?
Zhen Yuan crossed his hands on his chest and said in a calm tone: "Iron ore is indeed quite precious, but it's not worth a group of people rushing there, right? You know, Anyuan City is so far away from the capital. Even if it is discovered, the iron ore needs to be transported You have to pay a huge price to leave, it’s not worth it.”
The clerk chuckled a few times and stuffed the two ingots of silver into his arms: "Then I don't know. Anyway, that's what is said outside. As for the specific details, I only heard what others said."
Zhen Yuan narrowed his eyes, with obvious displeasure flashing through him: "So, you came to defraud me of my money with uncertain news?"
The clerk immediately shouted: "You can't say that, you put this money into my hand, I didn't ask for it clearly."
Zhen Yuan snorted coldly, turned around and said, "Let's go to Dashui Village."
Song Shuwan's lips twitched slightly, and after leaving the inn, she revealed what happened when she just returned from Dashui Village.
Zhen Yuan clicked his tongue: "I brought you here as soon as I received the news, but it turned out that it was better for you to go alone..."
She shook her head when she said this, looking very sad.
Song Shuwan coughed a few times: "No, I didn't expect that we would bump into each other by such a coincidence. By the way, the guests from the capital that the guy mentioned could not be Prince Ning and the others, right?"
After receiving the affirmative answer, Song Shuwan frowned instantly: "Didn't Prince Ning come here because of Prince Pei? How come he is eyeing the iron mine again?"
Zhen Yuan smiled playfully: "No one said that a person can only move around for one thing, right?"
Song Shuwan pursed her lips. This was true, but she couldn't understand the purpose of Prince Ning staring at the iron ore. Could it be that the emperor wanted it?
But what Zhen Yuan said just now makes sense. Anyuan City is too far from the capital, and the cost of transporting ore is too high.
Under such circumstances, how could the emperor be tempted by the iron mines on the border?
The two were walking along the street when suddenly several people gathered around them.
Song Shuwan came back to her senses, moved her fingertips twice, and asked directly: "Are you here to cause trouble?"
The leader, who had a scar on his face, smiled when he heard the question: "Yes, we are here to cause trouble, hand over the money, let us beat you up, and let you go."
Zhen Yuan sneered: "Just a few of you?"
Her words were full of disdain.
Scarface immediately smiled even more openly. He looked behind him and asked in a loud voice: "Did you hear what she said?"
"heard it."
With a chorus of responses, Scarface walked a few steps towards Zhen Yuan, then bent down with a look of contempt on his face: "Just a few of us can kill half of you."
Zhen Yuan's eyes were sharp, and with a "bang" sound, Scarface was kicked to the ground.
"With your skills, you still want half of our lives? I'll kill you first."
Zhen Yuan was full of murderous intent, and in just a moment, he knocked down Scarface's group of people, and then sat on Scarface's body.
"I am a person with a bad temper. If someone offends me, I will give up with a fierce breath. If you want to live, just tell me honestly who sent you here. If you don't tell..."
She looked around and sneered, making everyone present tremble.
Scarface said: "No one sent us here, just because you two are women, so we wanted to come here to get some money."
"oh?"
Zhen Yuan's tone rose slightly, "Is this true? Miss Song, do you believe this explanation?"
Song Shuwan had been silent. When asked, she looked at the scarred face on the ground with cold eyes: "On the way back to the city, I met a group of killers."
A completely irrelevant statement made Zhen Yuan understand what she meant.
The next moment, Zhen Yuan slapped him. The scarred face turned dizzy and blood gradually overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
But Zhen Yuan didn't stop, and kept fanning her until Scarface couldn't bear it anymore and offered to explain, so she stopped.
"Tell me, who asked you to come?"
"It's a woman named Bai Yue. She just found us and gave us 50 taels of silver to teach you a lesson."
"Just now?"
Zhen Yuan and Song Shuwan exchanged glances, and then Zhen Yuan grabbed Scarface.
"Where is that Bai Yue now?"
Scarface raised his head, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, looking very pitiful.
But neither Song Shuwan nor Zhen Yuan were concerned about his appearance. After getting the answer, the two of them quickly ran to a restaurant on the side with scarred faces.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, the two saw a woman in white walking down in a hurry.
"Bai Yue?"
Song Shuwan shouted uncertainly, and the woman in white immediately stopped.
Upon seeing this, the two of them immediately confirmed that the woman in white was the Bai Yue mentioned by Scarface.
Zhen Yuan's face suddenly turned cold, and he rushed over in three steps: "Dare you find someone to teach us a lesson? But you don't dare to meet us?"
Bai Yue staggered back, tripping over the steps and falling down.
Such a situation made Zhen Yuan sneer, and he grabbed her collar unceremoniously and asked her to get up.
The next moment, Song Shuwan put her hand on Zhen Yuan's shoulder: "Let go."
Zhen Yuan turned around, his face full of displeasure: "Are you going to let her go?"
Song Shuwan smiled: "Ask about the situation first, and then talk about other things."
"snort!"
Zhen Yuan threw Bai Yue away, and the latter fell to the ground again. The huge force made her cry out in pain, and tears filled her eyes.
Song Shuwan looked at her condescendingly, but before she spoke, she already had vague guesses in her heart.
"You know Mu Yinger, right?"
Bai Yue's expression froze: "You, how do you know?"
"Guessed it."
Song Shuwan said, sighing helplessly: "Is it your idea or Mu Ying'er's idea to find someone to teach me a lesson?"
Bai Yue said nothing.
Song Shuwan nodded: "I understand, it's your idea, but Mu Ying'er also said a lot, tell me, where does Mu Ying'er live now?"
Bai Yue's eyes flashed: "Don't talk nonsense, Ying'er didn't say anything. Besides, aren't you Pei Huan's ex-wife? Why don't you even know where they live?"
Song Shuwan ignored Bai Yue's inquiry. She raised the corners of her lips and seemed to be smiling, but if you look closely, you will find that the smile did not reach her eyes.
She never thought about getting involved between Pei Huan and Mu Ying'er, but she didn't expect that Mu Ying'er would look for presence first, or let a stranger jump out first.
At this time, Zhen Yuan said: "Are you going to find trouble with Mu Ying'er? I can help."
