Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Tsk tsk tsk! ! !

Blood sprayed out, and the strong smell of blood in the air enveloped everyone.

Dozens of heads fell across the ground.

Looking at this scene, no one dared to speak.

Everyone buried their heads deeply on the ground and did not dare to raise them for fear of attracting Zhou Zheng's attention.

"You are really good at handling this."

Seeing Yin Fen kill dozens of soldiers with his own hands, the coldness on Zhou Zheng's face dissipated a little.

After leaving these words, he went straight towards the depths of Pancheng.

Wherever they passed, the soldiers kneeling on both sides of the city did not dare to take a breath. The silence around them was terrifying!

Yin Fen also breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking at the heads and corpses scattered on the ground, his pupils turned slightly, but in the end they turned into a hint of coldness.

Then he quickly followed Zhou Zheng and others.

......

"I heard that Pancheng and the other two iron mines not only increased prices, but also interrupted the supply of iron ore to the target county government?"

Zhou Zheng sat upright, took a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked slowly.

This is where Yin Fen usually works.

It can be said to be extremely luxurious, even the seats are made of pure gold.

The surrounding ornaments were all cultural relics and antiques, some of which even Zhou Zheng could not recognize.

It is said that the iron ore business is quite profitable, and you can see the huge profits wherever you look.

However, Zhou Zheng was not very interested in these things and just got straight to the point.

"A lot of iron smelters in Pancheng have died recently, and the iron ore produced is much less than before."

"The cost of mining iron ore is also gradually increasing, so we are forced to raise some prices."

"But your Highness can rest assured that the price increases are within a reasonable range and are not targeted at any one party."

Yin Fen knelt down and replied softly.

Unfortunately, Zhou Zheng was not satisfied with this answer.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and then a cold light burst out of his eyes.

"Today you have committed a crime, and even wanted to touch the woman of this palace."

"How many heads do you think you have enough to chop off?!"

Putting down the teacup, a faint murderous intent appeared on Zhou Zheng's face.

This question made Yin Fen, who was kneeling, tremble involuntarily.

He had already received the news that Gu Jiang was coming, so he had been observing in secret.

Even the people sent out to stop Gu Jiang were deliberately arranged by him!

The purpose was to give Gu Jiang a show of strength.

After all, Yin Fen doesn't know the current situation in Xiang County.

Especially the government's demand for iron ore!

What he wants is to completely grasp the lifeblood of the government!

But he never expected that Zhou Zheng would be hiding in it secretly, and his identity would not be revealed from beginning to end!

This was clearly a deliberate design by Zhou Zheng, just to let Yin Fen get in!

But Yin Fen actually did this!

What a deep city!

Yin Fen had heard about Zhou Zheng's methods for a long time, but when he actually saw Zhou Zheng, Yin Fen realized that he seemed to have underestimated Zhou Zheng.

Threat!

A naked threat!

Moreover, it is an honest threat!

"The ordinary people are guilty of not being able to see the mountains."

Yin Fen's eyes dodge a little, and he kowtows to Zhou Zheng to confess his guilt.

Every time he kowtows, he makes a heavy sound on the ground, until the wounds are visible and the blood is blurred.

However, Zhou Zheng didn't even raise his eyelids.

A bitter plot? !

Low-level and useless.

"Your Highness, please spare the lives of the common people."

"Common people, you must obey your orders!"

Seeing that Zhou Zheng didn't respond, Yin Fen finally raised his head, gritted his teeth, and spoke in a deep voice.

He is a smart man, how could he not see Zhou Zheng's true purpose!

"Serve?!"

"I am very interested."

Finally, there was a glint in Zhou Zheng's eyes. He looked at Yin Fen, whose face was covered in blood, and asked with a smile.

"At present, the other two iron ore mines in Pancheng and Xiangjun have insufficient output due to many reasons."

"But for His Highness and for the normal operation of Xiang County, the grassroots are determined to increase production capacity to meet His Highness's needs!"

As soon as Yin Fen said these words, Gu Jiang and others held their breaths, and a hint of joy danced in the depths of their pupils!

Their main purpose this time is for the iron ore!

As long as Yin Fen can ensure the normal supply of Xiangjun iron mines, many problems can be easily solved.

Not only can iron plows be mass-produced, but weapons and armor can also be made for trained recruits.

You know, the war in the north is getting more and more serious!

If the iron ore problem in Xiangjun cannot be solved, how can Zhou Zheng lead his army north to support the northern border? !

If this was an ordinary aristocratic family, Gu Jiang and the others could still use their power to overwhelm others.

But this is the Yin family, one of the five great families in the Zhou Dynasty!

Behind him is King Runan!

How can they forcefully take action without justifiable reasons? ?

Now, Yin Fen takes the initiative to speak, and their goal has been achieved.

Only Yin Fen had a smile on his face, but his heart was filled with laughter!

Just when Yin Fen thought the matter was over, he saw Zhou Zheng shaking his head.

"That's it?!"

The cold words came out of Zhou Zheng's mouth, making Yin Fen's heart sink.

This is obviously dissatisfaction!

"Common people, we must negotiate with the family to lower the price back!"

The palms of the hands were clenched tightly, and the joints were a little white from the exertion.

Yin Fen's intestines turned green at this time.

But he knew that if Zhou Zheng was not satisfied today, his life would be decided here.

Hiss, hiss! ! !

Not even Gu Jiang expected that Yin Fen would take another step back!

If this is the case, there will really be a lot of money left for the government!

Looking at Zhou Zheng, Gu Jiang's eyes were full of admiration.

He knows better than anyone that under normal circumstances, Yin Fen would never make such a concession!

Prince, what a trick!

Just when everyone thought that their goal was achieved and Zhou Zheng would give up, they saw that Zhou Zheng was still shaking his head!

What does it mean? !

Even Gong Tan looked incredulous.

If Yin Fen can do this, I'm afraid it's already the bottom line, and may even cause severe dissatisfaction in the family, and he will definitely be punished by the Yin family!

But Zhou Zheng is still not satisfied! ?

"Your Highness, what do you want?!"

His fingers sank deeply into his palm. Yin Fen never expected that Zhou Zheng would still be dissatisfied after making such a big concession.

"I have a strong desire to control, and what I don't like the most is being passive."

A harmless smile continued to appear on his face.

But these words made everyone present feel their hearts sink slightly.

“Iron mines are very important to Xiang County now and even in the future.”

"So, I have only one purpose."

"I want all the iron mines in Pancheng."

Zhou Zheng lowered his head, the smile on his face becoming more and more obvious.

His voice was very calm, but his words shocked the world!

Zhou Zheng is no longer talking like a lion, he is clearly crazy!

Yin Fen raised his head suddenly and felt his head was buzzing.

Gong Tan and Gu Jiang also twitched their mouths, looking in disbelief.

The city's iron ore resources are to be explored! ?

How crazy is this?
