Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 151 Anhe County Definitely Has Iron Ore

Shen Zhongshu did not like eunuchs, and he particularly did not like eunuchs serving as commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

But Shangyan is a wild dog without moral principles.

No family.

What he does is entirely based on his personal likes and dislikes.

When he got ruthless, he even killed everyone in his family tree.

"Commander Shang. I know you are arrogant, but things will change."

"Master Zhongshu, you should take good care of the children of the clan. We, the Jinyiwei, are not a place for favoritism. If anyone makes a mistake and falls into the hands of us, hmph..."

Shang Yan sneered and left.

Shen Zhongshu was so angry that his chest hurt. He would lose if he said another word to this eunuch.

After Shang Yan left, he went straight to the mansion.

Without having time to change clothes, he arrived at the abandoned courtyard first. "What is she doing?"

The boy was stunned.

I realized that Shang Yan was talking about Su Rutang.

"I ate a little and am waiting for you in the yard."

"Ah."

Shang Yan went in.

Su Rutang sat in the yard in a daze.

"Why don't you go into the house?"

Chunxi and Xia An leave.

Su Rutang stood up and bowed, "Commander-in-chief."

"Please sit down. You can move freely in Shang Mansion." Shang Yan sat opposite Su Rutang, and a servant brought him tea.

"My people have brought news. Su Xingzhi accepted bribes and sent his wife and children out early." Shang Yan's cold eyes were fixed on Su Rutang. "Fortunately, Doctor Zhou's people accidentally discovered Su Xingzhi's wife and children, and he ordered them to be sent back."

Su Rutang’s first reaction was that it was a trap.

"No."

"Commander Shang. I don't believe him."

Shang Yan asked casually:

"He is your husband. Are you and your spouse separated?"

Su Rutang forced a smile, "Yes. When a couple separates, they naturally have their own reasons. I believe Commander Shang knows this."

"What good will it be for me to help you?"

Ask this question again.

Su Rutang still smiled faintly: "I wonder what benefit Commander Shang wants?"

"Just owe it to me for now. Then promise me a favor in the future."

Shang Yan pretended to speak casually:

"In addition to my people, there are also the Fifth Prince's people and a group of people of unknown origin who are gathering information. I have interfered with the Fifth Prince's people, as for the other group?"

Su Rutang's palms were wet as he held the tea bowl.

She did not admit that she was the one who sent it.

She also needs a trump card.

"I don't care who is trying to get the information. I just want to know Zhou Chengru's purpose in doing this. Also, why was the county magistrate convicted instead of the county magistrate?"

"You are right. Anhe County is the fief of Princess Anhe."

Shang Yan continued:

"Princess Anhe is the fifth prince's sister from the same mother."

Su Rutang suddenly had an idea.

She recalled what happened to the Fifth Prince in the past, and the struggles among the subsequent princes.

The fifth prince has weapons.

Weapons cannot be separated from iron ore.

Su Rutang slammed the table and said, "Commander Shang, I understand."

"what?"

"Iron ore. Anhe County definitely has iron ore." Su Rutang looked at him anxiously, "Please check to see if there have been any reports of young and middle-aged people going missing in Fengyang Prefecture in the past two years."

"Young adults are missing?"

"Yes, iron ore definitely needs young and middle-aged people to mine." Su Rutang was still chattering.

"They don't dare to recruit people in a big way, so they must use other methods to trick young and strong people from surrounding counties into working there. Once they get in, it's hard to predict whether they will live or die."

She tried hard to recall what happened in the following years.

It seems that many people disappeared in that area. At that time, it was said that the King of Lingnan, who was far away in Lingnan, deceived these people and sent them to the mountains to work as medicine men.

She remembered that the King of Lingnan was beheaded and before he died he wrote eighteen words of hatred on the ground with his own blood before he died.

The reason why Su Rutang remembered.

It’s because Mr. Su said that the torture of beheading was too cruel.

Also because of this sentence.

It was submitted by Zhou Chengru as evidence that Mr. Su had rebellious intentions.

Shang Yan's eyes sparkled.

He has no shortage of people.

What is missing are these weapons.

"Su Rutang, don't tell anyone about this. I'm going to cut off the source of the trouble. Since people have been missing in the past two or three years, that means the mine has been dug for two or three years."

"Someone is coming."

A shadow guard dressed in black landed.

"Ghost. Take your men to Anhe County to visit the mountains and forests to see if there are any signs of mining. Once you find any, control those people and find someone to sneak in. Bring Mr. Yi over."

"Yes."

"And find out what ore has been mined. And see if there is a place nearby to forge weapons."

The ghost took the order and went over.

Su Rutang always felt his throat was a little tight.

What did Shang Yan mean by saying such an important thing in front of her?

"Su Rutang, you and I are now grasshoppers on the same rope." Shang Yan was dressed in a black official uniform and a jade crown on his head, and his aura was very powerful.

Su Rutang nodded timidly.

"I know. I didn't hear anything."

"If your source of information is correct, then you have done a great job."

Su Rutang said calmly, "I just don't want those people to succeed."

"Then you have to expand your own power. Only when your power is strong enough will others have no chance to harm the people around you." Shang Yan's words woke Su Rutang up like a thunder.

Having money alone is useless.

You also need power.

"Let's cooperate. My promise to you that I will provide you with money and you will keep my family safe is still there." Su Rutang looked at the teacups used by Shang Yan, which were all extremely expensive jade cups.

"Commander Shang, these are for the emperor's people to see, right?"

Shang Yan tapped the table with his fingers. “Hahaha… you already know this.”

"A set of cups has not been replaced until now, which means Commander Shang is not that corrupt." Su Rutang stood up, "I have two sets of cups from the official kiln of the previous dynasty. They were used by the famous Qin Emperor Longhuang. I'll have someone send them over."

Shang Yan did not delay.

"Thank you for your help. I'll have someone send the banknote to you."

Su Rutang turned to look at him, "Money is a small matter. The things I have cannot be bought with money."

"It is gathering dust with me now, so bring it here."

"Tomorrow is Shangqi's crucial hot spring bath therapy. I wonder if you are free to go with me?"

"available."

"See you outside the city."

"it is good."

Su Rutang stood up and said goodbye.

She left the Shang Mansion.

I first took a walk along Zhuque Street and finally arrived at a jewelry shop.

Entered the backyard.

Su Rutang asked Hu Zitou to change a carriage before going out.

Shortly after Su Rutang left.

Then several shops delivered goods.

"The goods ordered by Shang Mansion have arrived."

The gatekeeper of Shang Mansion was puzzled as to why his commander had become so extravagant.

The priceless tea set was delivered.

Embroidered screen.

A large ornament carved from Yazhou sunken wood.

Three-color vase with boy and girl.

A red coral ornament that is taller than a person.

Giant clam carving ornaments.

……

Shang Yan was dazzled by what he saw.

This is not over yet.

A woman came over and said she was cleaning the house for the family. She decorated the front hall for receiving guests in a very luxurious way.

Before leaving.

The woman smiled:

"Our master said that in the study, we should just put these famous paintings and calligraphy in bamboo tubes. As for the wall, we should hang that landscape painting. In the corner, we should put a big vat and put these paintings and calligraphy in it."

"It doesn't matter if someone takes a few of them. They are just my possessions anyway."

"Besides, it's not top-notch stuff." The woman didn't dare to look at Shang Yan's face, for fear that the murderous aura from his eyes would sting her.

Done.

Hurry up and slip away.

Huo Mi came in and thought he had come to the wrong place, "Sir, you have become rich."

“It’s developed.”

"Which ministers' storehouses were robbed?" Huo Mi thought something was wrong. How could he be missing to lead the charge at a time like this?

"roll."

Shang Yan roared.

Huo Mi was so scared that he ran away in shame.

the next day.

Su Rutang got up early.

After breakfast, I went out.

"Second sister-in-law." Wang Yuehong's face was half red and her eyes were dull.

She didn't get enough rest from doing housework for days, and she also had to deal with Cui's harassment. She looked much thinner and more haggard.

She is no longer as plump and smooth as when she first returned to the capital.

"What's the matter?"

"Second sister-in-law. Mother-in-law asked me to manage the household and asked me to pay the money myself." Wang Yuehong's eyes turned red with anger. "Second sister-in-law is my sister-in-law. She should pay the money even if she keeps saying that she is not in good health."

The anger I received from Cui will never go away.

She wanted to transfer it to Su Rutang.

Su Rutang understood her intention, which was to ask him to pay some money to supplement the household expenses.

A really big face.

"I am not a man in the mansion. Normally, I should get a monthly salary of ten taels of silver. I haven't received my monthly salary for two months. And the monthly salary of the maids in my yard is all my own dowry money."

"Since Third Sister-in-law is the housekeeper, she should receive the salary of the men in the mansion."

Wang Yuehong was so angry that her liver hurt.

"It's not enough. There are expenses everywhere in the mansion. The servants have to be paid their monthly wages. The funeral has used up all the remaining money in the public treasury. Social relations, autumn clothes. My brothers and sisters' tuition fees, books, and snacks..."
