Reborn to face famine, I brought a space full of supplies!
Chapter 220 Bloodstains
Before he could finish his words, Mo Jingchun interrupted him, "You want to ask about the iron mine, right?"
"you know?"
"Aren't you coming to the county today just to deliver medicinal herbs to Samadhi?" Mo Jingchun revealed too much information in just one sentence.
"So you have always known that Manager Wei once did things for Shuiyun Pavilion?" Jiang Chuyue's eyes were fixed on Mo Jingchun.
Mo Jingchun didn't say anything, but stared back. When Jiang Chuyue was about to lose patience and ask again, he said, "I just found out about it not long ago. After all, our county magistrate has been the Pavilion Master's man for more than ten years, but I just found out about this not long ago."
Jiang Chuyue's mind was working rapidly. Mo Jingchun would not mention the county magistrate for no reason. Although she knew that the county magistrate had been replaced long ago, it was even possible that the county magistrate was originally a chess piece of Liu Mo, a chess piece independent of Shuiyun Pavilion.
It was arranged here early so that it could be used by him in the future.
"When was the iron mine discovered?" Jiang Chuyue asked the most crucial question.
Mo Jingchun smiled, but this smile clearly carried some inexplicable meaning, "It was discovered before our county magistrate took office, but mining started two years ago."
"Why did it start two years ago?" Jiang Chuyue continued to ask with a frown.
"Because the Prince Rong in the south knows about it." Mo Jingchun dipped his fingertips in water, used the water as ink, marked the location of the iron mine on the table, and explained the situation to Jiang Chuyue.
"Mining iron ore is not a simple matter. It requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources. Although Shuiyun Pavilion can do it, it is too difficult to avoid being discovered by the court. So our Pavilion Master tried every means to get the county magistrate and Prince Rong to connect, and then gradually mined the iron ore with Prince Rong's manpower and material resources."
"When Prince Rong thought he had an iron mine and didn't have to worry about the ore, he turned around and betrayed Prince Rong?" Jiang Chuyue guessed based on Mo Jingchun's words.
"No." Mo Jingchun's smile made people feel a little creepy.
"Our Prince Rong still doesn't know that the iron mine has been taken over by Shuiyun Pavilion. He still thinks the county magistrate is his man and is at his disposal."
Jiang Chuyue was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that Liu Mo had been planning this move for so long and had made so many calculations.
"Mr. Liu has planned so much, I'm afraid he has had an idea about that position a long time ago?" Jiang Chuyue suddenly learned so much information, and couldn't help but worry whether her transaction with Liu Mo could really be successful.
After Liu Mo succeeded, could she really be safe and sound?
"When did you know all this news?" If Mo Jingchun had known it for a long time, why didn't he reveal it to them before?
The suspicion in Jiang Chuyue's eyes was already very obvious, and Mo Jingchun naturally knew that it was normal for Jiang Chuyue to have doubts.
He took out a small piece of paper that should have been burned and handed it to Jiang Chuyue, "My people found out, and this piece of information was just delivered to me."
The bloodstains on the note had turned dark brown, and Jiang Chuyue could smell the blood as soon as she took it.
"Something happened to your people?"
Mo Jingchun closed his eyes and remained silent.
He said nothing, yet he said everything. Jiang Chuyue understood the situation and did not ask any more questions. "Did the news come from the south?"
"Yes, after I was suppressed, the Pavilion Master arranged for my people to go out in different places. Some were in the south, and some were in the north. I thought they would live well, but I didn't expect that they would end up like this."
It is conceivable that they would risk their lives to send the message back.
"What are you going to do next?" It was always Mo Jingchun who asked Jiang Chuyue this question. Today it was Jiang Chuyue's turn to ask. Mo Jingchun looked up at him in confusion.
On one side was the Pavilion Master who had trained her for many years but suppressed her one day; on the other side was her brother who had shared weal and woe with her and who delivered important news to her before his death.
Don't be surprised that spring is really hard to choose.
"I'm afraid you're tired these days. Why don't you go back to Wanshan Village and have a good rest for a few days? If you leave the affairs of the grain shop to the shopkeepers, nothing will go wrong." Knowing that Mo Jingchun was probably feeling uncomfortable, Jiang Chuyue took the initiative to arrange rest time for Mo Jingchun.
But Mo Jingchun flatly refused.
"No need, I've thought it through." Mo Jingchun smiled bitterly, "Although it seems unfair to the Pavilion Master, he is also unfair to so many of my brothers."
She just raised her head slightly and forced back the tears that were already flowing out. Jiang Chuyue knew that Mo Jingchun was the most uncomfortable at this moment.
But if you say too many comforting words, you will only be exposing her wounds.
In the end, Jiang Chuyue just patted Mo Jingchun on the shoulder and said nothing.
When he stood up and prepared to leave the room, leaving the space for Mo Jingchun to digest her emotions on her own, Mo Jingchun wiped his face and called Jiang Chuyue.
"Xiao Yihao said he wants to discuss something with you tonight. You should stay in town and meet him at Tong'an Inn."
Facing Jiang Chuyue's puzzled frown, Mo Jingchun explained, "His people didn't tell me what the matter was. I think it was because you were not in Wanshan Village and they couldn't find you, so they sent someone to send the news to me."
Hearing this, Jiang Chuyue nodded in understanding, "In that case, you should go with him tonight and explain the matter of the iron mine to him, so that we can discuss what to do next."
"No need for that. Just discuss it. I still have a lot of accounts to deal with. I can't let the shopkeepers clean up the mess for me." Although Mo Jingchun was smiling, it was obviously forced.
Jiang Chuyue stared at her silently for a while, and finally decided to respect Mo Jingchun's choice and give her some time to digest it.
"Since you said so, I'll leave you to watch over the grain store. It just so happens that several shopkeepers are in town discussing business matters, so I'll leave all the grain stores in the county to you."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the grain shop and won't let any accidents happen." Mo Jingchun's serious look amused Jiang Chuyue.
Because she was concerned about Xiao Yihao's situation, Jiang Chuyue did not stay in the county for long. She left the county early and stayed in the Tong'an Inn in the town.
Several shopkeepers heard that Jiang Chuyue had arrived, so they went to meet Jiang Chuyue during a break in the negotiations.
"Boss, the county magistrate said that the household register should be worth 20% of the price." When Manager Wen said this, several people carefully observed Jiang Chuyue's expression.
Jiang Chuyue sneered, "Tell the magistrate that if you are so insincere in doing business, then you don't have to do this business."
