Chapter 137 - A Dead Man Does Not Speak

Yin Xu found a small flower pot, dug up some soil from the yard, and carefully dug out a few seeds from the ginseng fruit to sow. Finally, he even set up a small spirit gathering array around the flower pot.

Yin Xu placed the flower pot on the windowsill in his room, hoping to see the fruit tree sprout the moment he opened his eyes.

Teng Yu laughed at his lack of common sense. How could he unearth a seed in one night?

Yin Xu silently cursed: “If you know what kind of future this seed will turn into, I'm afraid you are even more impatient than me!”

Before Teng Yu went to sleep, he remembered the name list Yu Xuezhong had given him. He took it out and looked it under the light for a while, then called Han Qing in, and handed the list over to him, “Investigate these people's background one by one. Don't alert them.

Han Qing carefully memorized the list, and then moved closer to the oil lamp to burn it, “Your Highness, our people cannot be spread out, just in case we meet with a situation during the day, this subordinate doesn't have enough hands.”

“Rest assured, as long as the Sect Leader of Sky Piercing Sect does not personally come, Huo Tian and I will be able to deal with him.”

Han Qing was still a little worried. When he went out, he called for the nearby constables to give him a thousand warnings, and even gave them a signal flare to communicate with him. He hoped that these constables would be able to be of some use in times of danger.

Before Yin Xu went to sleep, he poured some water into his flower pot. As a result, he discovered that the temperature of the water outside was too low, and could even turn into ice.

“Does this thing need a bit of temperature to sprout properly?” Just like a hen hatching a chicken? “

Teng Yu thought about the fact that most of the grains were planted in the spring, and nodded uncertainly, “Probably so.”

Right after he finished speaking, Yin Xu walked to the side of the brick bed with the flower pot and placed it on the end of the brick bed.

Because the Hui State was cold, everyone slept on the kang during the winter, and the mansion they bought was no exception.

Coincidentally, Yin Xu's body was cold, so sleeping on the fire brick bed was much warmer than sleeping on a bed.

Teng Yu took off the clothes he was wearing and asked attendant to bring hot water in for him to wash up. He looked at Yin Xu's actions and did not retort, but only said: “Since it's so precious, then find someone to treat it specially tomorrow. Didn't you collect quite a few seeds? After we return to the capital, we'll have someone set up a greenhouse in the backyard. It's possible that it might sprout in a few days. “

Yin Xu thought of a good candidate and nodded, “When are you planning to return?”

“I've already done most of the disaster relief, I can come back anytime I want, and I don't need to get involved in the rest of the matter anymore.”

Teng Yu had gained a lot from this trip, not only did he have another supporter who was willing to do things sincerely, he had even made a name for himself. The only regret was that he did not catch any big fish, he did not know if this Hui State official was too honest or too cautious, and no one actually made a move on him.

In fact, it was normal, who would dare to do anything under the eyes of Third Prince? This man was someone who did not follow common sense. Even if he killed someone, it would be done later. The food official from before was the best example.

This time, Teng Yu gave out a total of a hundred thousand silver taels, which was not too much. However, it was clear that the amount of money needed to pay was not small, and it was fortunate that all the shopkeepers in the Wei Family had done big business before, so it was not difficult at all.

Teng Yu personally received them, gave each of them a thick red envelope, and told them to return to Wei Family.

These hundred thousand silver taels were a total of more than ten books. Teng Yu casually took out an account book and started to look through it.

Teng Yu told the people to put away the account books, and when they return to the capital, they would bring them back, and store all these things in the storage room. If someone took out the items that they had been given in the future, these accounts would definitely stop them from talking.

“Someone, invite Manager Wei over.” This time, Hui State had also contributed a lot to the disaster relief, and Wei Family had contributed the most, so no matter what, Teng Yu had to express his opinion.

The Advice Letter that Yu Xuezhong brought over yesterday also mentioned the contributions of the rich and powerful gentry, and of which, he emphasized on the achievements of Wei Family, so it was likely that the rewards given by the imperial government would arrive soon.

Wei Zi'an was Yin Xu's man, but he was also the manager of a large clan. This kind of person would often not easily submit to others, so Teng Yu felt that it was necessary to help Yin Xu win over the hearts of others.

Otherwise, with his personality of respecting others, it was unknown if he would be able to win her over.

When Yin Xu returned from training, and heard his words, he thought he was going to take something out of Wei Zi'an's Wei Family, so he couldn't help but remind him. “Wei Family has contributed greatly this time, don't forget what you promised Wei Zi'an.”

Teng Yu raised his eyebrows, “Why did you elbow out? Didn't your husband calculate something from Wei Family just to save money for us? It's only been a few days since you've come to the Hui State, but your opinion of Wei Zi'an seems to have changed quite a bit. “

Yin Xu slanted her eyes at him, “Wei Zi'an is loyal to this young master, so the things in Wei Family should naturally belong to this young master. As for the things in Third Prince Mansion, my name is not written on them.

Teng Yu pulled him in front of him, and then hugged him as he laid on the soft couch and laughed: “All of my things are yours, all of my things are naturally yours too, all of us who are close to each other, aren't we the closest? Then Wei Zi'an will remember your saving grace, who knows if he will change his heart in the future? “

Yin Xu pinched his chin and stared at his face, “What do I want him to do? “Loyalty is something that exists, but it doesn't matter if it isn't there. On the contrary, you …” He poked Teng Yu's chest, “You have to guard this heart well. If it's lost or spoilt, this young master will dig it out and drink!”

“Really?” Teng Yu pressed his hand against his throbbing chest.

“If it doesn't belong to me, why wouldn't I?” At that time, a single heart would not be enough, Yin Xu pinched Teng Yu's chin and thought, from the inside out, this person must be his, otherwise … He also had ways to turn him into a puppet that only belonged to him.

“Your Highness, Boss Wei has arrived.” Someone knocked on the door.

Teng Yu and Yin Xu looked at each other and got up from the couch at the same time.

Teng Yu took a rabbit fur cloak and wrapped it around Yin Xu as he walked out of the room while holding onto his hand.

In the Flower Hall, Wei Zi'an sat upright on the guest seat with an indifferent face. Compared to the first time Yin Xu saw him, he was a bit more calm and magnanimous.

Seeing the two entering, Wei Zi'an immediately got up and bowed. Teng Yu was the ruler, he was a citizen, so there had to be this bow, and Yin Xu was the master. He was a subordinate, so this bow was indispensable.

Teng Yu brought Yin Xu to sit at the main seat, and waved his hand at him: “Get up, you've worked hard these past few days, calling you here is a good thing, the papers for the performance have already been handed over, there will definitely be a Wei Family reward, I just don't know if Royal Father will want to reward you with your name, or if it will be beneficial.”

If it was a name, the emperor would probably give the Wei Family a resounding title. If it was a profit, the Emperor would compensate the Wei Family with some money, grain, land, or the qualifications of some merchants.

Wei Family was the richest place in the Dazhou Iron, and even the largest weapons processing ground in the entire Dazhu iron field were located there, so Wei Family held a very important position.

Wei Zi'an knew that there was the result of Third Prince's participation, and sincerely thanked him. His position as a merchant was low, and his only way out was to be known as the “Royal Merchant”.

Even though Wei Family was already an imperial merchant, his title was not fixed. The right to mine the Hui State iron ore was bidded once every five years, and it was only one year until the next time he would bid.

After the passing of Old Man Wei Family, the next generation did not have any outstanding successors. In addition to the series of upheavals at home, the business of Wei Family had clearly declined, whether or not they could win the next bidding war could not be determined.

However, with the support of Third Prince and himself, a mere Hui State iron ore was far from worthy.

“How many mines are there in the Wei Family?”

Wei Zi'an paused and met Teng Yu's profound eyes. He could not help but answer, “Four … “One of them was newly found and has not been registered with the government.”

Wei Zi'an was nervously waiting for Teng Yu to speak. Since he had explained it so clearly, Third Prince should know what he meant.

The corner of Teng Yu's mouth curled up as he said calmly: “Mining iron mines without permission is the ultimate crime of extermination. What right do you have to think that no one will find out about that mine?”

Wei Zi'an knew that there was hope, and lowered his voice: “That place already has Hui State, it is a mountain range, and on that mountain is a bandit village, ordinary people would not even want to pass by that place, as long as we quietly annihilate that bandit village and rebuild the village, we will not be discovered for a short period of time.”

Teng Yu ordered some people to go to his study and take out the map, then carefully studied the place Wei Zi'an mentioned. It was a remote place surrounded by mountains, if it was sealed up, it would be difficult to find anything.

He knocked on the table and thought for a while. How many? Have you ever killed or looted? “

“Of course, or they won't be called bandits anymore. I'm not too sure how many of them there are, but it's said that each time they travel, there will be more than fifty of them. They are all famous bandits in the Northeast region.”

“Then, the initial estimate would be at least a hundred people. It would be difficult for us to destroy so many people without the aid of an army.”

After listening to the two people mutter for a long time, Yin Xu finally found something he was interested in. This young master is most proficient at it. Actually, it won't take too many people, just two of us can go in and kill him without leaving a single one! “

Teng Yu raised his eyebrows, “It's not necessarily necessary to do it yourself, isn't there an assassination organization in Hui State City? The gold we received yesterday is just in time to come in handy.”

When Yin Xu heard that he wanted to hire an assassin with Evil Sect, his expression immediately became strange, “Aren't we going to keep it a secret? How can we keep this a secret if we let them know where we are? “

“A dead man won't speak.” Teng Yu said sinisterly.
