Chapter 164 The root of the problem



In the kitchen, Jiang Mingyue saw that her brother had recovered, and she took Xie Yuan's hand and walked out.

Knowing that mother and son must have a lot to say when they first met, Xie Yuan and Shen Bingxin left after a few words.

After a while, in the main hall, Jiang Mingyue poured a cup of tea and handed it to her mother and asked, "Mom, how did you come out of the house? How is my father?"

Jiang Minghong turned to look at his mother, and his sister asked him what he was most concerned about.

Shen Bingxin held the tea cup and looked at the pair of children and said: "Except for missing you, your father loves you. When I received your aunt's letter and found out that you didn't go to Kyoto, your father and I were always on tenterhooks, fearing that something would happen to you. .

More than half a month ago, I received your letter from Mao Shaoxia. I learned that you have settled in Wanping and are living a good life. Your father's heart has finally come to an end. "

Shen Bingxin took a sip of tea and then said: "I was able to sneak out of the house quietly thanks to Mao Shaoxia."

"Has everything gone smoothly along the way?" Jiang Minghong looked at his mother and asked.

"Do you still remember the route map you planned for Mao Shaoxia? Mao Shaoxia gave it to me before coming to Wanping, so the journey was very smooth."

Shen Bingxin took out two letters from the bag and handed them to her children: "This is a letter from your father."

Jiang Mingyue and the other two reached out to take it and opened it immediately.

After reading the letter, Jiang Minghong fell into deep thought. He wanted to chat with Xie Yuan again in the evening.

After Jiang Mingyue read the letter, she finally felt relieved knowing that her father was fine.

"Auntie, what happened to our family? Who was offended?"

She didn't have the chance to ask before, and Adi refused to tell her to protect her, but now it's different.

Hearing this, Shen Bingxin looked at her son subconsciously.

Jiang Mingyue stood directly between the two of them, pulled Shen Bingxin's sleeves and said coquettishly: "Mom, I am also a member of the family, and I am much more mature and stable now. I can take on things. Just tell me." Let me do it! This way, if I face an enemy one day in the future, I will know how to deal with it."

Shen Bingxin was silent after hearing this. After not seeing her for half a year, her daughter did seem to be a little different. She couldn't help but look at the person in front of her carefully.

Her eyes were bright, her complexion was rosy, and her expression was calm. Although she still had the same gentle eyebrows, there was an extra layer of perseverance between them.

"Mom!" Jiang Mingyue saw that her mother had not spoken, so she gently shook her sleeves and called out again.

Shen Bingxin came to her senses: "Okay!"

Jiang Mingyue's eyes instantly brightened when she heard this. She sat sideways next to her mother, looking at her meekly, waiting for her to speak.

"Sister, mother is tired from traveling all the way. Let mother rest! Let me tell you."

Jiang Mingyue turned her head and glanced at her younger brother, and then at her mother who looked tired. She stood up and supported her and said, "My brother is right. Mother, you need to rest first and we will talk later in the evening."

Shen Bingxin nodded. She had been on the road for the past half month and had never relaxed for a moment. She was really tired.

Jiang Mingyue helped her mother to her boudoir, covered her with a thin quilt, and then walked out quietly after her mother fell asleep.

"Is mother asleep?" Jiang Minghong asked looking at his sister who came out.

Jiang Mingyue nodded.

"How about we go to the study room?" He was afraid of disturbing his mother here.

Jiang Mingyue responded in a low voice, 'Okay!'

The two siblings walked into the study one after another, and Jiang Minghong slowly spoke.

"Our Jiang family started with porcelain. Over the years, in order to find soil suitable for firing porcelain, my father bought many islands and mountains one after another, and the root of the problem appeared on these islands and mountains."

Jiang Mingyue couldn't help frowning when she heard this.

"A few years ago, when our servants were digging in the soil, they found something else."

Jiang Mingyue's mind changed slightly and she asked in a low voice: "What is it?"

"Gold mine!"

Jiang Mingyue's breathing suddenly became rapid.

"A huge gold mine." Jiang Minghong added.

Jiang Mingyue poured herself a glass of water, and then asked in shock, "Did the news leak out?"

She didn't wait for her brother to answer and then said: "Daddy's methods, how could such news be leaked out.

"Sister, you should still remember that our family discovered two iron ores before."

"Remember, but didn't the iron ore matter be reported to the court immediately?"

Jiang Minghong snorted lightly.

"The matter of the two iron mines has not been brought to the court at all."

Jiang Mingyue couldn't help frowning when she heard this.

"How is it possible? Who has such great power to block such a thing with one hand?"

Before her brother could answer, she suddenly thought of someone, her heart skipped a beat, and she leaned close to Jiang Minghong and whispered, "General Zhang?"

Jiang Minghong nodded.

"Yes, it is General Zhang who holds 150,000 navy troops and is guarding our Yuanjiang River. These two iron mines eventually fell into his hands, and he has been secretly mining them in the past few years."

"How dare he? What does he want to do? Are our Yuanjiang officials, big and small, just letting him do what he does?" Jiang Mingyue said angrily.

"If it was just General Zhang, the prefect and governor would not turn a blind eye like they are now, but General Zhang has a good son-in-law."

Jiang Mingyue reacted instantly.

"The eldest prince?"

"Yes, the eldest prince informed the prefect and governor of Yuanjiang Prefecture about the iron mine. For the sake of their official position, future, and the safety of their families, they could only turn a blind eye."

Jiang Mingyue couldn't help frowning when she heard this.

"Is there no official who is not afraid of power and reports this matter to the court?" Jiang Mingyue couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, but these people are all dead, and their memorials disappeared halfway."

Jiang Mingyue put down the tea cup angrily.

"How dare he flout the law and kill officials indiscriminately."

Jiang Minghong chuckled and said sarcastically: "How can the law restrain a prince who dares to compete for the throne?"

Jiang Mingyue suddenly felt uncomfortable after hearing this.

"Did those officials die in vain? No one investigated this matter?"

Jiang Minghong looked at his innocent sister and said calmly: "Sister, there are places where the sun cannot shine."

Jiang Mingyue fell silent upon hearing this.

This topic was too heavy, so Jiang Minghong immediately brought it back.

"Because of these two iron mines, General Zhang noticed our father. In his eyes, our father is not only a fat sheep, but also his lucky general. If there are one, there will be two, and there may be three, so he has always They are all sending people to monitor us and try to infiltrate our home.

He soon learned about the sudden disappearance of a group of servants in our house, and immediately deduced that our family might have discovered something. He immediately sent people to our house to test and threaten our father about what he would discover. Leave it to him.

If it were anything else, for us and the Jiang clan, my father would have handed it over, but it was a gold mine, so big that everyone who saw it would be greedy for it. "

Jiang Mingyue couldn't help but be a little curious after hearing this. How big is it?
