Luo Cheng asked, “What do you know about the Song family?”

Ye Shengnan thought for a moment and said, “Actually, the Song family has always been very mysterious. Not to mention me, even the village chief doesn’t know the other party’s background. It’s just that when the rich businessman came to buy land, he followed a county deputy of White Foothill City. By the way, that county deputy’s surname is Hu. I overheard the Song family call that county deputy Hu Weiyuan.”

Luo Cheng found this name familiar, so he began to think about where he had heard this name before.

On the other hand, Li Xiaoran looked surprised when she heard this name.

“The girl who wanted to marry my eldest cousin but changed her mind and said that she liked Zhao Yan instead seemed to be the Hu family’s girl. If I remember correctly, her father is called Hu Weiyuan. He’s the county deputy of White Foothill City, Hu Weiyuan!”

Li Xiaoran’s words reminded Luo Cheng of this person.

At this moment, Luo Cheng finally understood.

Why was the county deputy called Hu Weiyuan so anxious to marry his daughter to the Zhao family?

They were afraid that what they had done would be exposed, so they wanted to find a powerful backup!

No wonder when the Hu family heard that Zhao Lijun had fallen out with Zhao Xiu over this matter, they immediately changed their minds and said that they wanted her to marry Zhao Yan instead.

So that was what this was all about!

Not only did Luo Cheng figure it out, but even Li Xiaoran figured out the Hu family’s scheme.

“The Hu family is really bold!” Li Xiaoran sneered.

Seeing that Mr. Luo and the consort knew County Deputy Hu, Ye Shengnan tensed up.

After hearing Li Xiaoran’s sneer and her words, Ye Shengnan heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Mr. Luo and the consort didn’t have a good relationship with Hu Weiyuan.

That was good!

Ye Shengnan had said everything she needed to say, so she said, “I’m going back now. I’ve been out for too long! Leave quickly tomorrow morning! I’ll find an excuse to leave with you guys!”

Luo Cheng thought about Ye Shengnan’s words.

“We shouldn’t stay here. Since we’re leaving, let’s leave at dawn! As for you, go back first! We’ll wait for you at the three-way junction on the official road

tomorrow.”

Ye Shengnan nodded and stood up to leave.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng looked at Zi Zheng and nodded at him.

Zi Zheng understood and immediately arranged for someone to secretly escort Ye Shengnan back and protect her.

After Ye Shengnan left, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran weren’t sleepy at all.

Luo Cheng asked the four people he had left behind, “What do you guys think of this?”

“We have to interfere in this matter! However, we still have to discuss how to interfere!” Jiao Hang said, “I can pretend to be a villager and sneak into this coal mine to investigate the situation. I’m not good at anything else, but I’m very good at making friends and have a good memory. It won’t be long before I get information out of people.”

Li Liming immediately retorted, “You’re going? How are you going to go? Didn’t you hear? That rich businessman surnamed Song has always been very mysterious. The people in the village know very little about his family. There aren’t many families in this village. Once an unfamiliar face like you appears, others will be on guard. At that time, we’ll alert the enemy!”

Yu Peng and Xue Shanhui were still deep in thought and didn’t speak.

Jiao Hang asked indignantly, “Then tell me, what good idea do you have?”

This time, Li Liming was also speechless.

Because he really didn’t have any good ideas.

“I’m good at doing business and earning money, but I can’t do anything about this situation. Could it be that Mr. Luo is willing to give me some banknotes and let me pretend to be a buyer to buy coal?” As Li Liming spoke, he suddenly thought of a solution.

Yu Peng objected, “This is a bad idea! They’re mining in secret. If you rashly come looking for them now, you’ll alert the enemy. If I’m not wrong, there must be a specific way out of this coal mine. They don’t sell it on the market at all, so how can you get the news? You’re clearly telling them that someone is targeting them. The other party will definitely make countermeasures immediately! ”

Li Liming said, “Then think of a way!”

After Yu Peng thought for a moment, he looked at Luo Cheng.

“Mr. Luo, let me ask you first. How do you plan to deal with this coal mine? Do you plan to hand it over to White Foothill City and let it pay taxes according to the procedures set by the imperial court, or do you plan to take over this coal mine and integrate it into your business?”

When Luo Cheng heard this, he expressed his attitude.

“Since it’s a coal mine, it should be managed by the government. No matter who takes over the coal mine, it has nothing to do with me, but the taxes for the coal mine have to be paid on time.”

When Yu Peng heard Luo Cheng’s words, he knew what to do.

“If that’s the case, you shouldn’t deal with this matter all alone. It’s better to ask the mayor of White Foothill City, Luo Han, to come along! Of course, I suggest that you call the local Sichuan army along as well. If you want to resolve the problem of the coal mine quickly, you have to have powerful military strength. Since you don’t plan to get involved, it’s best to let the Sichuan army participate. It’s best to get someone to mobilize the troops tonight and catch the other party off guard!”

Xue Shanhui reminded, “I agree with Yu peng! I also agree with Mr. Luo’s actions. We can’t get involved in this coal mine! We have to be careful, since I’m afraid this matter isn’t that simple. The county magistrate of White Foothill City is directly involved with this rich businessman surnamed Song. In that case, how many people in White Foothill City have ties with him? Perhaps the people in the Sichuan army also know about this. Therefore, Mr. Luo needs to choose someone trustworthy to do it! ”

After Luo Cheng thought about it carefully, he nodded.

“This is indeed worth paying attention to! ” Luo Cheng asked someone to prepare a pen and paper. Then, he wrote two letters and took out a messenger pigeon.

In the night, no one noticed that in an inconspicuous place, two carrier pigeons were flying in two directions with important news.

Luo Han was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard a familiar splashing sound.

Luo Han quickly opened the window and saw the pigeon he had always been familiar with.

He quickly took out the note from the messenger pigeon and went to pull out a book.

After translating the contents of the note in order, Luo Han was immediately dumbfounded!
