Afraid, Cao Buxiu was indeed afraid, but after drinking that bowl of wine, he seemed to have gained strength and calmed down instead. He sat by without saying a word. The difference in atmosphere was surprising.
Liang Chuan thought that if this guy looked greedy for life and afraid of death, he chopped him up with a knife on the spot. It would be a disaster to keep someone with talent but no quality.
But there was no kneeling, no crying, just deathly silence.
Cao Buxiu looked at the wine bowl blankly and swallowed all the remaining wine.
"It seems that my boss has suspected me for a long time. It's a pity that such a good wine is ruined by a person like me!"
Liang Chuan said: "Is there nothing else to say? I never thought that your origin would be related to Murong Chao, let alone that there are people like Murong Chao in the world. Is it possible that troubled times are coming, so people like Murong Chao People like Chao come out to compete in the world?"
Cao Buxiu smiled bitterly and said: "What are you talking about competing for the world? Such words are too flattering to be used on small people like me. We just have one breath to make a living."
"What benefit does Murong give you? You are so devoted to him. Isn't it good for us people? Look at the big bowl of wine and eat meat. Isn't it better than being a dog under the hands of a dead demon like Murong Chao?"
Cao Buxiu could only shake his head with a wry smile.
"Why am I wrong? From the looks of it, you, Lao Cao, don't look like the kind of person who is greedy for money and profit. I'm also wondering. Murong Chao has such a great personality that makes you want to give up?"
Cao Buxiu said: "My life was given to me by my boss who saved me. I know that my boss and Murong Chao were fighting a few days ago, and I reported the news and many soldiers died on the battlefield. My life is to die ten thousand times." It’s not a pity.”
When Liang Chuan heard this, he knew that this kid had been ready to die! He had put death aside a long time ago, he had thought of this day!
Then why did he keep him? He took out his sword and drank another bowl of wine, ready to send this guy on his way!
Cao Buxiu slowly closed his eyes and murmured: "My boss has such a heart, can you..."
Liang Chuan almost shouted: "Speak quickly!"
Cao Buxiu said: "My wife and daughter were kidnapped by Murong Chao and their whereabouts are still unknown. My boss, please be kind and kind. If one day their whereabouts are found, can you help me find them?"
Liang Chuan lowered the butcher knife that he had already raised, and looked at Cao Buxiu. His face was very calm, and Liang Chuan asked, "Is this what Murong Chao used to blackmail you?"
Cao Buxiu knelt on the ground, his head pressed tightly to the ground, and said to Liang Chuan: "Cao deserves to die!"
Liang Chuan helped him up and persuaded him, "Why didn't you tell me about this situation earlier?"
"Murong Chao used your wife and daughter to threaten you. He also colluded with Japanese pirates to attack our hometown. How many people died tragically at his hands. Such despicable methods, aren't they our common enemy?"
"My boss, I have done so many things that have hurt everyone..."
"Don't worry, only I know about this, and I will keep your identity a secret for you!"
Cao Buxiu knew that Liang Chuan was kind, but he never thought that Liang Chuan could be so kind! Can you avoid death for such a serious crime as collaborating with the enemy?
Liang Chuan said: "But you still have to inform Murong Chao regularly in the future, so that Murong Chao will not doubt your identity!"
"I know, boss, I deserve to die, I shouldn't help others do evil!"
"There is no need to say this again. If you are sincere with us, you have also seen that our group is in a period of growth now and requires a huge amount of resources, so I will let you explore everywhere in the world, just for The coal mine you discovered in Taocheng will help us far more than your mistakes!"
Cao Buxiu suddenly knelt down again and said to Liang Chuan: "Cao must be blamed for his death, and he will not hesitate to be ruined in the future!"
"I have an elder brother in Xinghua named Li Chuyi. He is from the Western Army. When I first met him, I was worried. His daughter was living in Yinzhou and I hadn't seen him for more than ten years. .”
Cao Buxiu knew this feeling best and asked anxiously: "Then has his daughter been found in the end?"
Liang Chuan smiled and said, "It's a pity that I was sent to the northwest because of my trouble. I happened to meet Li Chuyi's daughter there and sent her back to Xinghua!"
"My boss is benevolent! I have been looking for my wife and daughter for many years, but the traitor Murong just refuses to let me go, for fear that they have already fallen into the hands of others."
"I'm quite curious. Murong Chao took your wife and daughter and forced you to go around the world to mine?"
Cao Buxiu's old face turned red and he said with great shame: "Murong is a traitor who has done all kinds of evil. If only he could keep me in his hands so that I can watch the mountains and dig mines like my boss does. He lets me rob tombs every day!"
Tomb robbery! Sure enough, this is what he did!
"Do you know what Murong Chao did?"
Liang Chuan has always been curious about the origin of this transvestite, who seems to have appeared overnight, but observing his behavior, he is mature and prudent, and even he almost fell into his trap. He is completely different from a fledgling boy!
Cao Buxiu said: "I really don't know this. To be honest, I know who he is, but I don't see him more than once throughout the year!"
"They are a bunch of people who seem to wander around all over the world all year round. What they do is kept extremely confidential. We at the bottom have no access to them! To put it more bluntly, people like me are the only ones you think highly of. In the eyes of others, they are just like me." The person who robs tombs and looks at them is not even considered a low-ranking person!"
Cao Buxiu didn't know how important he was in Liang Chuan's eyes!
Cao Buxiu continued with some embarrassment: "I'm not afraid of your scolding, my boss. You have a big family and a big business. As soon as I get in touch with you, I know you are a person who does big things. But looking at your style, you are no different from a common man. You are no different." He knows how to put on airs with us, and he doesn’t put on airs, the difference is really big!”
The tradition of the Han people is to pay attention to rich burials! If you are born naked, you must be buried with splendor when you die!
Originally, Liang Chuan thought that Cao Buxiu might not be willing to tell the truth, but now that he heard what he said, it really made sense!
In this era, the most important thing is one's status. It is extremely rare for people of different levels to be together. People like Liang Chuan can even drink royal wine, and they are willing to have such a heart-to-heart relationship with him. If his wife and daughter were not detained, I have sincerely pledged myself to Liang Chuan a long time ago!
Who doesn’t want to meet the Ming Master, who doesn’t want to be treated as a distinguished guest, instead of a dead Feng Shui master who digs graves and peels off skins!
"Master, what should I do now?"
Liang Chuan asked a few questions: "How is the progress in Tingzhou?"
Cao Buxiu colluded with Murong Chao to blow up the iron mine that Liang Chuan pointed out for exploration. How was he going to reply to Liang Chuan now!
"I heard from Yeluhan that there is a lot of iron in the mine?" "A lot!"
"Let's see, let's use the same method we did in Taocheng last time. We'll first deal with the local boss's surname, and then find a way to slowly transport the iron from the mine back!"
After seeing everything done on Penghu Island, Cao Buxiu knew why Liang Chuan was so obsessed with coal and iron!
If you don't have your own mine, no matter where you buy so many materials, it will attract the attention of the government and interested people. You can save countless troubles by exploring the mineral sources yourself!
Cao Buxiu said: "As long as the location of the mine is found, any problem is simpler than this one! There are ten thousand ways to transport the iron back, but I'm afraid it won't be found."
Liang Chuan said casually: "Now that the iron ore and coal mines have been found, we can meet the current needs. The amount of iron we need is too large. No matter which army it is, you need to worry more about this matter. Wait until these two methods are available." It's stable, let's go find the silver mine then!"
Silver mine!
Does Liang Chuan still know where there are silver mines?
This thing is different from coal and iron. With this thing, you can mint money privately. Then you will have a steady stream of income, and you can do bigger things!
Cao Buxiu didn't dare to think about what Liang Chuan was going to do, but he was definitely doing the same thing as Murong Chao, and it was not a good deed! I'm afraid it will be a serious crime like rebellion!
Silver mines, copper mines, and gold mines. Whenever they found a place like this, the imperial court would quickly occupy it. They were afraid that such a place would fall into the hands of anti-people, and the consequences would be terrible!
The imperial court spared no effort to search for such mines, but the number was still extremely limited. Liang Chuan was able to find even silver mines!
"Master, you are probably not joking..."
"Do you think I'm joking?"
Of course Liang Chuan was no longer joking. His goal was very clear. He wanted to win over Cao Buxiu just for the treasures in the ground. He was not willing to do something unskilled and damaging to morality like Murong Chao did!
"Do you know the place across from us? If you are in this business, you should have a certain understanding of the mountains, rivers and mountains in the world."
"The other side is the legendary Yizhou, but it is said that the barren land across the way is unexplored and filled with smog everywhere..."
"You are wrong. The opposite side is really a geomantic treasure land. It is like spring all year round and is rich in all kinds of fruits. Even the food output is not less than that of our land in the Song Dynasty. There are also many resources on the island. When I put this After the island is conquered, I still have to work hard, Mr. Cao, to help me find mineral sources!"
Cao Buxiu bowed his head repeatedly and said, "If I can do my best for my employer, I won't be stingy. I'm afraid I'm not very talented."
"We're still the same. I'll tell you where the general direction is, but you have to find it for me. I won't make it difficult for you! It's normal for people in this industry to not be able to find it, so you don't have to be too stressed!"
Cao Buxiu felt warm in his heart. Liang Chuan wanted to send him to death just a moment ago, but he just expressed his inner difficulties and Liang Chuan let him go. After all, he was still kind, and he immediately told him the secret he knew. .
Liang Chuan looked at Cao Buxiu and saw that he had something in mind.
He just wanted to test Cao Buxiu. Someone had already begun to follow this man secretly. If Cao Bujiu was not afraid of death and continued to act with Murong Chaomei, he would really send this kid to the West!
