Of course Meng Ru had no objection to what Yun Wanyue ordered.
With his skillful hands, he quickly painted Yun Wanyue to look like an old woman, while he himself disguised himself as an old man.
"I want to offend you, girl, and we will pretend to be an old husband and wife for the time being." Meng Ru's voice became hoarse as he spoke.
Yun Wanyue said: "What's wrong with this?"
Meng Ru said: "I thought the girl would feel that her status has been lowered."
Yun Wanyue smiled and said: "Why do you have such an idea? Although you are my subordinate now, in my opinion, we are like family, regardless of high or low."
After hearing this, Meng Ru was silent for a moment.
Before he entered Jianglong Village, no one respected him like this.
He used to be an opera singer, and he learned the skills of disguise and disguising his voice at that time.
He is a man, but he became an actor. Many people laughed at him for being spineless.
Later, when he arrived at Jianglong Village, some people would use this past incident to slander him.
On the contrary, Yun Wanyue accidentally found out that he had sung opera before. Instead of thinking that he was of humble origin, she admired his ability very much.
Yun Wanyue looked at Meng Ru and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Old man, should we set off?"
When Meng Ru saw Yun Wanyue transforming from a flower-like girl to this, he suddenly laughed: "Young lady, you look really decent when you dress up as an old woman."
The two people set off in an ox cart.
With the map sent by the previous spies, it is easy to find this place.
The two pretended to be an old couple who went to the mountains to collect herbs and approached the iron mine.
Sure enough, guards were found nearby.
At the same time, the guards also discovered them.
"What are you two doing here?" The visitor looked at the two people and said unhappily.
Yun Wanyue hid behind Meng Ru, looking like an old woman who was afraid of trouble. As for Meng Ru, she said: "Let's collect medicine."
"What kind of medicine are you here to collect? I think you are spying on my master's charcoal kiln!" the guard snorted coldly.
Yun Wanyue secretly thought, this is really telling lies with open eyes. There are some people who cut down wood and burn it into charcoal to sell for money, but no one would burn the land in this deep mountain and old forest.
It's not convenient to get in and out!
Yun Wanyue whispered: "My son is seriously ill. There is a medicinal material that can only be found on the mountain here. What's so interesting about this charcoal-fired kiln? We just passed by here accidentally."
The guard glanced at the two old men in front of him who were already hunched over, and said, "Okay, get away! Don't stay around here!"
Because the two people were not too close to the iron mine, they were discovered in a peripheral area. This place is occasionally visited by nearby villagers.
Therefore, the guards just drove away the two people and did not do anything evil.
Before Yun Wanyue came, he had done some research and knew that as long as he didn't go too deep, there was no danger. That's why he was able to remain calm when facing the cross-examination just now.
The two people walked away.
At this time, another guard came and said: "Old man Zhang, who cooked today, suddenly fell ill and died. The superiors asked us to find another cook."
The previous guards set their sights on Yun Wanyue and Meng Ru: "You two, stop!"
Yun Wanyue and Meng Ru glanced at each other, and both chose not to speak and stood down obediently.
Half an hour later.
Yun Wanyue and Meng Ru were already cooking in the kitchen.
Yun Wanyue didn't expect that when she felt sleepy, someone would come to give her a pillow.
She didn't have much luck in her previous life, but in this life, her luck is pretty good. She hasn't figured out how to get into the iron mines that are guarded by layers of guards.
In the blink of an eye, I was brought to this place.
The guard also heard Yun Wanyue say that her son was seriously ill, and thought that if the old couple were detained here, no one would report the crime.
This saves a lot of trouble.
Of course, they are not afraid that people in the government will know that this is the boundary of Youzhou, and the government is equivalent to the private Yamen of Prince Ning's Mansion.
If that's the case, what's so scary?
Yun Wanyue looked around while picking vegetables.
The place they were in was outside, and the iron ore was mined from a cave.
But the refined weapons are all placed in the camp outside.
What Yun Wanyue has to do now is to find evidence of the relationship between the iron mine and Prince Ning.
I think there should be frequent correspondence between Prince Ning and this iron mine, or there may be account books and the like, so Yun Wanyue's goal this time is these things that can prove Prince Ning's guilt.
Of course, it would be best to find a few people who are willing to testify.
But this is not so easy to do. After all, people are the hardest to control. If you are not careful, if things are not handled properly, she may be easily exposed.
The meal is ready.
Someone said: "You go and give food to the brothers working inside first!"
Yun Wanyue and Meng Ru walked inside together, one carrying a bucket of soup and the other carrying a bucket of steamed buns.
The food here is extremely bad.
Therefore, Yun Wanyue and Meng Ru are both capable of cooking.
Some wooden dome houses are arranged in an orderly manner in this valley. Walking through the wide cave entrance in the valley, you will find the place where iron ore is mined.
After iron ore is mined, it must be refined.
So there was a heat wave inside.
Many men with bare upper bodies were working hard.
These irons were directly processed into weapons, so jingling sounds could be heard from time to time.
These men are all a little haggard, very thin, and have little energy.
It seems that they are not working here voluntarily, but rather they are forced to work here.
I think so, if you bring people here for such a private matter, how can you let these people leave alive?
Prince Ning is not stupid, and he definitely does not want the risk of this matter to spread.
As a prince, he mines iron ore and forges weapons privately, which is a serious crime!
It was precisely because he knew this was a serious crime that Ye Beilan asked Yun Wanyue to investigate.
Of course, Ye Beilan not only handed over this matter to Yun Wanyue, but also handed over some of his subordinates to Yun Wanyue for Yun Wanyue's disposal.
When Yun Wanyue came to investigate, she had already asked these people to ambush around, ready to respond at any time.
When Yun Wanyue saw these thin men, she felt a little worried, worried that she would not be able to successfully complete the task and leave.
But soon, Yun Wanyue became calm.
She didn't come here to sacrifice her life. This matter could be dealt with, but she had to keep her life alive.
