Alan always felt that he was Hua Zhen's only listener in this world, and he shared many secrets with her.
This is indeed the case, for example, he knows the true identity of Master Sun.
To the outside world, Sun Dashou is just an ordinary Xinli businessman, but in fact, he is a declining nobleman who is in charge of the underworld transactions between His Royal Highness the Prince of China and Xinli and Jin. The largest transaction among them is silver.
mine.
Sun Dashou is a mine owner.
He privately mined a silver mine outside Xinli Kingdom. The original place of ownership of this silver mine was the Golden Kingdom and Baishuang City.
The mineral vein of Baishuang City is a long and narrow curve, stretching for thousands of miles, but it is not continuous, but is spaced apart one by one.
Xinli Country is located in the southwest of Dajin, bordering both Jin and Song countries. From a geographical point of view, this country is not close to Baishuang City.
However, the border lines between Xinli and Daijin overlap horizontally, and there is about dozens of miles of land that coincides with the end of Baishuang City's mineral vein.
The silver mine that Sun Dashou was ordered to dig secretly was located at the tip of the tail of the vein, at the corner of the border of the Kingdom of Jin.
In fact, it is not a rich mine. Although the mineral deposits cannot be called poor, they are just enough to see, far less than those outside Baishuang City.
It is precisely because of this that the Xinli royal family's secret mining activities have not been discovered so far. After all, those rich mines now require a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain. With the current strength of the Jin Kingdom, it is still impossible to mine the entire mineral vein.
Compared with today's wealthy Jin Kingdom, Xinli Kingdom, which is remote and not rich in products, is very fond of this small silver mine. As for the master behind it, naturally it cannot be that gangster.
Sun Dashou of Jianghu is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Xinli Kingdom.
Three years ago, the old emperor of the Jin Kingdom celebrated his birthday. The crown prince went to Changli, the imperial capital, to celebrate his birthday with a national gift, and signed a non-intrusion covenant with the Jin Kingdom, and thus got acquainted with Hua Zhen.
One is the crown prince of a foreign king who was not favored by King Xinli and was dethroned twice. The other is a wolf-headed upstart, the daughter of a court official who has an extremely low status among the noble ladies of the imperial capital. The two share the same illness and both grew up in their youth.
As a result, feelings arose secretly.
The prince had traveled with the United States several times when he was in Changli. Later, because he heard that the old emperor of the Jin Kingdom intended to marry the Xinli royal family to strengthen the alliance between the two countries, he became even more gentle with Hua Zhen and promised Hua Zhen
, if she can marry Xinli, she will become the crown prince's concubine.
This is not empty talk.
Prince Wang urgently needed all the power that could support him. His father had always only valued the Song Dynasty, so he pinned his hopes on the newly rising Jin Kingdom.
Hua Zhen herself did not object to this proposal.
Even if she stays in the Kingdom of Jin, her marriage will only be used by Mangtai for marriage. This has nothing to do with whether her father loves her or not, but that the Nadan family needs to gain support through marriages again and again to maintain their status as a noble.
Therefore, Hua Zhen quickly made an engagement with Prince Wang in private, and the two became more and more inseparable. During the more than a month that Prince Wang stayed in Changli, the two often met secretly and talked to each other. This couple
The young lovers soon discover what they have most in common:
Short of money.
In order to regain her position as the heir to the Nadan family, Hua Zhen's mother had to do everything in her power, which had already cost a lot of money; and the crown prince of Xinli Kingdom wanted to raise private soldiers and seize the throne, which required much more money than Hua Zhen.
few.
At that time, the news spread like wildfire that Mang Tai was about to be appointed as the left commander of the border army, and Hua Zhen told Wang Shizi about the silver mines in Baishuang City.
The speaker was intentional, and the listener was also intentional, and the ambitious unmarried couple hit it off immediately. Prince Wang took the map that Huazhen had stolen from Mangtai, compared it with the map of his own country, and delineated a section of the border between the two countries.
God seemed to be very kind to this young couple, so they actually discovered a silver mine not far from the area designated by Prince Wang.
After returning to Xinli, Prince Wang secretly sent people to start digging. After discovering that the silver mine was indeed producing something, he split the mine into a number of shares in the name of joint mining and secretly sold them through Sun Dashou.
.
He needed money urgently, and mining the silver mines would take too long, and he couldn't wait any longer.
Naturally, this matter cannot be achieved by him alone, and these shares are not suitable for large-scale sales in Xinli Country.
Therefore, Prince Wang generously gave half of the shares to Hua Zhen. Firstly, Huazhen really helped him a lot. Secondly, he also needed someone he could trust who was in a different place to take care of everything for him.
After nearly two years of planning, this matter is now coming to an end. In the past six months, Hua Zhen has sold more than half of the stocks on hand through Sun Dashou, and now only the last half is left.
Today, she met with Sun Dashou at the "Sanchun Pavilion". She originally wanted to sell the half of it, but she only hated that Sun Dashou was too dark and kept the price extremely low. Hua Zhenjian refused to suffer this loss, and the two of them couldn't bear it.
Happy and dispersed.
I originally thought that even if there was room for change in this matter, I would have to wait for another ten days and a half, but I didn't expect that the Crown Prince Xinli was not only ambitious, but also very skillful.
Although he was far away from Xinli King City and could not visit the border in person, Sun Dashou had several spies planted by the prince buried around him, and none of his secret activities escaped his eyes.
The letter Hua Zhen received today was a reassurance from Prince Wang.
He said in the letter that he had found a suitable buyer for Huazhen's half-percent dry stock, and that his cronies would arrive in Baishuang City on the day of the Outing Festival and conclude the deal later that day.
As for Sun Dashou, he will naturally be replaced by Prince Wang's cronies.
"My true concubine, don't be anxious. I will accomplish everything you expect."
Huazhen held up the letter and reread the last paragraph. The slightly scrawled official-style gold inscriptions on the page reminded her of the prince's handsome face.
A blush quietly crept onto Hua Zhen's cheek: "His Royal Highness is so smart. He can already write to me in the most standard gold inscriptions."
She arched her eyebrows and pressed the bright red envelope and floral note to her heart. After a while, she reluctantly handed it to Alan:
"You'd better keep it for me. I'll ask you to come and see it in a few days."
Alan's lifeless face was expressionless, and he quietly reached out to pick it up. However, just as his fingers were about to touch the envelope, his expression suddenly changed.
In the next breath, the black and white swords suddenly drew two intersecting arcs of light. The cold light disappeared, and his whole body was swept away like a strong wind.
Huazhen seemed to have experienced such scenes for a long time. When he saw this, he quickly shrank deep into the cave and at the same time crumpled the letter into a ball.
This letter must never be discovered.
