The male supporting role was captured by the protagonist after his rebirth

"Isn't the Yuan Mine managed by someone from your Deng family? Why did you come here in person?"

Zhang Yi asked as he was cleaning the table.

Deng Shentong wiped his mouth slowly. He had consumed a lot of energy last night and had eaten a little more for breakfast today.

Hearing this, he lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhang Yi: "The affairs of aristocratic families are much more complicated than you think."

"For example?" Zhang Yi was aroused by this sentence. He was just an ordinary citizen before the end of the world. He had only seen the intrigues of these big families in movies and TV dramas.

Deng Shentong put down the napkin in his hand, leaned back slightly, narrowed his eyes, and looked even more lazy.

"For example, although the person in charge of this Yuan mine mining is also surnamed Deng, named Deng Hulin, according to seniority I have to call him third uncle, but in fact he is far from the direct descendant of my uncle's generation." He said in a flat tone.

"This Yuan Mine is a huge profit. With it, it will be very easy for these side branches to separate from the Deng family and establish their own business."

"When my uncle was still in power, Deng Hulin might have been a little afraid and didn't dare to do anything with the Yuan Mine. But..." Deng Shentong knocked on the table and smiled slightly:

"Now that the head of the family has been replaced by a younger generation like me, it is inevitable that they will have some thoughts."

Zhang Yi was shocked, "Then why arrange him?"

Deng Shentong smiled and said, "How can it be that simple? You also know that there are very few direct descendants in my generation, and my uncle has no descendants, so there are not many people available. Even if the Deng family's foundation is a side branch, it is not so easy to shake it."

Zhang Yi nodded, then shook his head. He was not from this class, so he had only a vague understanding of this. "If you need me, just let me know."

Deng Shentong smiled and sighed, "You...will have to follow me eventually, so it won't hurt to know more."

"Moreover, as far as I know, the tribesmen who followed Deng Hulin and his branch seem to have the intention of joining Qin Qigong."

Deng Shentong continued, "After the end of the world, resources have become more scarce, and every family wants to cooperate with the region to ensure their own survival and development. For example, our Deng family once cooperated with Zhu Zheng, which is also the general trend."

"But Shengjing is not like Jiangnan. There are many aristocratic families here. It is not a place where our Deng family can cover the sky with one hand. If Deng Hulin wants to rely on the Deng family's technology and part of the Yuan mine to break away and set up his own business, it depends on whether he has the ability to protect it."

Zhang Yi listened to Deng Shentong's words and secretly sighed in his heart that it turned out that the aristocratic families that seemed so glamorous on the surface also had such complicated struggles within themselves.

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Yi asked.

"No hurry." Deng Shentong raised his lips slightly, "As long as you are strong enough, you don't have to worry about other people's calculations. Moreover, since we know this news, we must have been alert to this matter a long time ago."

Zhang Yi looked at Deng Shentong's confident smile and felt more at ease. Since he had been prepared for this, it must not be a big deal.

"Do you want me to take you there now? Which direction is it to the Yuan Mine?"

Zhang Yi flexed his wrist and showed some rare intelligence: "I guess you also want to solve this matter before they take advantage of the chaos to cooperate with Qin Qigong, so it's better to catch them off guard now."

"Well, you've become smarter, huh?" Deng Shentong stood up and smiled, "Let's go. It's in the mining area in the southeast."

Zhang Yi opened the door to the different dimension, and the two of them rushed towards the mining area in the southeast direction.

Entering the mining area of ​​the Qinling Mountains, the surrounding scenery became more and more desolate along the way, and the light of the Yuan ore was faintly visible deep underground.

After arriving at the mining area, they found that operations had ceased and only a few guards were patrolling.

Deng Shentong signaled Zhang Yi to keep quiet, and then quietly approached the entrance of the mining area.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yi asked in a low voice.

"Before I left, I released false news." Deng Shentong was not surprised, "They said I would arrive in Shengjing in three days."

"Deng Hulin should not be busy mining the Yuan ore at the moment, but is busy making forged accounts."

Zhang Yi scratched his head: "Can I still be greedy?"

Deng Shentong poked him with his elbow and scolded him with a smile: "Of course! Yuan mines are very profitable. This Deng Hulin does have something in common with you."

Deng Shentong and Zhang Yi bypassed the guards and entered the mining area. They saw that the miners were gathered together, seemingly waiting for something.

Deng Shentong quietly walked up to a miner and asked what happened.

The miners told him that Deng Hulin had left the mining area with a group of people, saying that they were going to meet Deng Shentong.

Zhang Yi whispered, "It seems we are a step late."

Deng Shentong's eyes were cold: "Not necessarily. The Yuan Mine is here, they can't escape."

Then, Deng Shentong led Zhang Yi deeper into the mining area. In a hidden place, they found a pile of excavated Yuan ore.

Deng Shentong picked up a piece of Yuan ore and observed it carefully: "These are all high-quality Yuan ores. When Deng Hulin handed them over last time, he said that there were no ores of this quality. He must want to keep them for himself."

Zhang Yi said angrily: "This is too much! Is he doing this to the Deng family?"

He has always been the only one who was greedy, but he didn't expect there were other masters out there.

Deng Shentong patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder: "Don't be angry, we will make him pay the price."

"It's okay. Since you and I are here, if there is any problem, just kill them directly." Zhang Yi said indignantly.

“Don’t be reckless.” Deng Shentong shook his head. “These people are all members of the Deng family. If we kill them without solid evidence, other members of the family will be disheartened.”

"What should we do then?" Zhang Yi asked.

"Don't worry, I have already made a backup plan since the day I released the Yuan Mine."

Deng Shentong's eyes flashed with shrewdness, "Also, the mining of the Yuan Mine cannot be stopped. It is the economic pillar of the Deng family. You need to pay more attention to the workers and ensure safe production."

"Okay, I understand." Zhang Yi nodded.

"No matter what, this Yuan mine originally belongs to our Deng family. No one can take it away." Deng Shentong said with narrowed eyes.
