The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 310 310. Mine

Feng Jinxu sent them outside the city gate, while Su Cheng and Qiao Shanwei were waiting here early.

Duoxin took a look at Qiao Shanwei. Feng Jinxu didn't know that he was a descendant of the Bai family at the moment, but vaguely felt that this person was unusual.

"Brother, go back. I will take good care of Ayao. When the matter is over, Su Cheng will escort her back safely. Don't worry."

His eyes glanced at Su Cheng. His reputation was not very good, but his kung fu was first-rate!

After all, he is from a military general family, so he certainly won’t be bad!

"Well, then you should pay attention to safety on the road and write back frequently."

"Brother, don't worry!"

After watching the group leave, Feng Jinxu turned back to the city, but he didn't notice that one of the small group of people following Su Cheng was special.

That was Prince Ding Xiao Tingyi in disguise. Not only did he look ordinary at the moment, he even concealed his aura very well.

Unless you are someone very close to him, you would not be able to guess who he is.

Feng Jinyao was sitting in the carriage and did not notice this detail. It was not until she was more than a hundred miles away from Dongdu City that she gradually realized it.

In the northwest, after this period of rest, the overall situation is much better.

Since the good news came back to Dongdu City, the pressure from Ganzhou has been much less.

Although General Su was not as eager as before in repairing the bridge, he never delayed the construction period.

Coupled with previous experience and the addition of a large number of soldiers from the Ninth Prince, the speed has indeed improved a lot.

On this day, the Ninth Prince came to Lanshui River in person and asked General Su.

"Can the bridge be opened in another ten days?"

General Su shook his head, "It will take fifteen days at the earliest. This new wooden bridge will bear too much weight. If we rush to complete the project, we may not be able to withstand the heavy pressure of the army crossing the bridge."

The Ninth Prince didn't quite understand this, but the difference between tenth and fifteenth days wasn't much.

I was still thinking that it would be a good thing to see a more complete Liangzhou after I crossed the river.

So he pretended to say to General Su, "General, thank you for your hard work. I will go back to reorganize the army and support Liangzhou in fifteen days!"

"yes!"

The words are so exciting, why does Liangzhou need their support now?

It would be nice if you don’t bother with it.

What Su Cheng wanted in his heart was to let Xiao Ji and the others digest the one hundred thousand taels of gold first.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome for the Ninth Prince to find out something fishy.

So the secret guards of Prince Ding's Mansion were sent to deliver the banknotes across the Lanshui River.

In the military camp, Xiao Ji was silent as he looked at the news delivered and the light but extremely heavy one hundred thousand taels of gold ticket in his hand.

Xiao Muqian on the side didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about what to do with the money.

After a while, Xiao Jicai spoke.

"Your Majesty, this action is also to repay the people. You go and invite the head of the Feng family. He needs to come and turn the money into rain."

Otherwise, it would be strange if he didn't attract the attention of the Ninth Prince for such a large amount of money coming out of nowhere!

Soon, Fengshan was invited to the military camp. At first, he was a little confused about what Xiao Ji was asking him to do now.

When the banknote fell in front of him, he was a little surprised even though he had seen strong winds and waves.

"General, where did this come from?"

"General Su sent someone secretly. It was Beidi who used this to seduce the governor. That's why there was talk of blowing up the bridge."

He didn't say much about the rest, especially since Prince Ding was involved, it was better for outsiders to know less about it.

Fengshan nodded, "So what the general means is..."

"I need this money to be legitimate and use it all for Liangzhou City and the people. Does Brother Feng have any good ideas?"

"The amount of this banknote is too huge, I'm afraid it will be difficult to withdraw it. Fortunately, it is a banknote from Huitong Bank, so it is not difficult to exchange it. I am quite familiar with the shopkeeper of his bank in the northwest, so this matter can be handled through my Feng My family’s mine has been mined once, and then it’s just natural to take it out.”

At the same time, he also suggested, "If the Major General is fine, you can come with me. Huitong Bank is not in Liangzhou, but in Xiazhou. That place is closer to the Feng family's mine."

Fengshan explained this matter to tell Xiao Ji that he would not embezzle the money.

Xiao Ji's uncle and nephew looked at each other and thought this proposal was a good one.

So he said, "Okay, then my nephew will go with the family master."

"Very good, very good!"

On the second day, the two of them took only a few followers with them and headed towards Xiazhou in light clothes.

At this moment, Fengshan didn't know that it was this money that brought him endless trouble...

Xiazhou and Liangzhou were only a few dozen miles apart, and the horses they rode were all good horses from the army. Naturally, they had to go faster, and they hurried to the Feng family's mine at noon.

This was the first time Xiao Muqian saw the entire mine.

Continuous mountains surround it, looking like a guardian angel, overlooking the earth.

Some are bare, others are lush with vegetation.

Especially this April day, it is the season of strong spring. The breeze brings the sweet smell of the vegetation, which relaxes Xiao Muqian, who has always been in a tense state.

Today, he was dressed as Fengshan's follower.

He also had some disguise on his face, which is a commonly used method in the military, and those guarding the mine didn't notice any difference.

When the people from Fengshan came here, they even took the mine's unique token in their hands. After it merged with the guard's token, they were allowed to leave.

The rules were so strict that Xiao Muqian was a little surprised.

After walking into the long and narrow path, Fengshan opened his mouth to explain.

"This mine was given by the founding emperor. It has been owned by my Feng family for hundreds of years. The rules here are very strict. Even if the head of the family comes, he still has to check a lot to prevent someone from pretending to be someone!"

Xiao Muqian nodded. This was very similar to the rules in the military. It seemed that some of the ancestors of the Feng family might have been soldiers.

After walking for a while, they came to a flat house.

"This is the house used by those responsible for guarding and mining the mines. The one in front is where the counting house is."

The Feng family's accountant actually only manages the money coming in and out.

The only person who really keeps the books and records is the head of the Feng family.

On this point, the Feng family has not changed for hundreds of years. Otherwise, such a huge wealth is just fat in anyone's eyes, and it would be damning if you don't eat it all.

After Fengshan took the others to another room to rest, he turned around and entered an inconspicuous small room next to the accounting room.

I don’t know what I’m doing, and I don’t know where I’m going.

Xiao Muqian understood that this was the root of the Feng family, and he was an outsider, so he didn't bother much.

It wasn't until after dark that I saw Fengshan walking out. His face was a little tired, but his eyes were relaxed.

"Don't worry, Major General, this matter has been taken care of."
