Although Mr. Duan was extremely humble in front of Mr. Gu, he even looked like a slave, but he was dissatisfied with Manager Li or was a little disdainful of him.

So, Master Duan said dissatisfiedly: "Manager Li, don't be so shocked! The bright world and the peaceful and prosperous times, what can Mr. Gu do? Could it be that he was kidnapped? You must know that no one dares to compete with my Duan Mansion in Yi'an now!"

Manager Li swallowed and said angrily: "I understand Mr. Gu. No matter what he does, I will tell you."

Mr. Duan was very dissatisfied when he heard that Manager Li actually called himself "lower" rather than a "villain", so he deliberately said: "Will Mr. Gu tell you every time he goes to find Miss Yihong?"

Manager Li stopped talking and thought to himself: "Isn't this arguing? Why would you tell me if you don't say anything about Gong Jingshou?"

Seeing that Manager Li was speechless, Mr. Duan became proud again. He said to Manager Li earnestly: "You are just a subordinate of Mr. Gu. You will not tell you everything you do, for example, if I am talking to you in this yard now, Ma Huai doesn't know."

Manager Li had already begun to greet Mr. Duan’s mother in his heart. He didn’t want to get involved with Mr. Duan anymore, so he simply asked: “Where has Mr. Gu gone in the opinion of Mr. Duan?”

Duan Gang thought for a while and said, "A few days ago, the gentleman told me that after the last batch of freight here is shipped out, if he does not go to the capital, he will go back to the southwest to be his general of Xiaoyao. I thought that he might go back to the capital to find His Highness the Third Prince to report."

Manager Li was speechless. Mr. Duan was simply a stupid pig. Even if Mr. Gu didn't take him seriously, he should tell you Mr. Duan! What's more, Mr. Gu is a meticulous and steady person.

Manager Li suppressed his anger and displeasure and said, "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of it! It's better to do this. I'll finish the work today and tomorrow, deal with the mine slaves, and then personally escort the goods!"

Mr. Duan immediately denied, "No! Mr. Gu once instructed that the goods should be transported out during the Spring Festival. Besides, the part left for me has not been settled yet! How can you leave just by saying that? Also, how do you plan to deal with those mine slaves? Have you killed them?"

Manager Li nodded and said, "No one will be left, kill all!"

"Dare you dare!" Mr. Duan said angrily, "Mr. Gu is not here, I have the final say. This is also the rule that Mr. Gu set for you at the beginning. You can't kill any of those mine slaves. I will control them. If the mine resumes work one day, it will save you from buying and hiring people!"

"Mr. Duan, you must not! If anyone from above investigates these people, it will be real evidence!"

Mr. Duan glanced at Manager Li with disdain and snorted coldly, "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? If His Highness the Third Prince asks us to resume work one day and everyone is killed by you, what are we going to resume work?"

In fact, Mr. Duan refused to kill those mine slaves because of his own selfishness. Although His Highness and Mr. Gu both said that the mine would be closed after the last batch of freight was shipped out, Mr. Duan was really unwilling to accept it. Seeing the money was not enough, how could people sleep and eat?

"When you all leave, I will do it myself! Even if I only work for one more year, I will not have to worry about the lives of several generations of my Duan family. I just want to enjoy wealth!" Mr. Duan said in his heart.

Due to his status and status, Manager Li really dared not openly rebelled against Mr. Duan, so Mr. Li sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, after the goods are safely transported, the general will go to the capital to ask for instructions. At that time, if the third prince blames him, don't blame me for not reminding Mr. Duan!"

"Don't be fooled by the Third Prince! Don't forget that my surname is Duan. Even if I am not a relative, Concubine Shu is also my aunt! Even though the Third Prince is not satisfied with my handling method, I am also thinking about His Highness's great cause. If you dare to falsely accuse me of this in front of the Third Prince, be careful of your head on your neck!"

Manager Li knew that it would be meaningless to continue talking, so he bowed his hand and said, "If Mr. Duan has no other instructions, then I will say goodbye. There are still many things to do in the mine!"

"Wait and go!" Master Duan stopped him, and then he shouted again: "Come here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant ran over immediately.

Mr. Duan ordered him: "Go and find Ma Huai and let him go up the mountain with Manager Li, so that anyone will sneak away our goods while Mr. Gu is away and have ulterior motives!"

"Yes!" the servant agreed and ran away in a flash.

Ishihara Hai was walking back and forth in the study. Today was the eighth day of the lunar month, but there seemed to be no movement in Duan's mansion. He just sent someone to Yichunyuan to inquire about Mr. Gu's whereabouts, and then he did not take any other action as if nothing had happened.

Shi Jinrou walked in, and Ishihara asked immediately: "Xiaorou, is Mr. Gu really important to Mr. Duan?"

Shi Jinrou nodded and said, "It's even more important than his life as Mr. Duan!"

"But it's not right! If it's really that important, why is Mr. Duan not in a hurry? The Duan Mansion has no sign of panic at all!"

Shi Jinrou smiled and said, "There are only two types of people who are not panic and not worried about danger. One is to be confident and the other is to be stupid and ignorant. According to my father's judgment, what kind of person is Mr. Duan?"

Ishihara Hai looked at Shi Jinrou with worry and said worriedly: "Although Mr. Duan is not very smart, my father thinks that he should at least send someone to look for Mr. Gu in Yi'an City, but it's almost two days. Why haven't he moved yet? I'm just afraid that Mr. Gu has no value, so we have planned a plan for nothing!"

"Dad, your worries are unnecessary. How could a dignified fourth-rank general Zhenyuan be insignificant to Duan Mansion?"

Ishihara nodded and muttered, "This is reasonable, but..."
