Ouyang Li has never relaxed his investigation into the source of Cang Xiuxuan's food.
But the result left him disappointed.
Almost no important information was obtained. There was no trace of Cang Xiuxuan's food. However, the information about them transporting food to Beijing was found.
"Boss, do you need to investigate in a different direction?"
The people responsible for investigating this matter also found it very strange. They couldn't find the source of Cang Xiuxuan's food at all. They believed that Cang Xiuxuan had prepared the food early in the morning, but they didn't believe it.
After all, the quantity of these grains is too huge, unless Cang Xiuxuan has the ability to predict the future and knows that a severe drought is about to happen in Da Rong, and has started to reserve grains a few years ago.
Otherwise, it is simply unexplainable.
Ouyang Li pondered and said nothing. No matter how he thought about this matter, he felt it was evil.
"Change the direction, which direction do you want to change?"
He just has no direction now. Almost the entire Da Rong has been released by them for investigation, and everyone except Xincheng has returned the news.
Everyone only knew that food was coming in, but they didn't know where it came from, because every time the people escorting the food were people under Cang Xiuxuan, those people had no way of starting.
They couldn't tie people up and force them to question them, as this would inevitably attract Cang Xiuxuan's attention and make them anxious, and they would be the unlucky ones.
For now, Cang Xiuxuan's strength is still far superior to theirs, and there is no benefit in a head-on confrontation.
The people below thought for a while before continuing to answer, "Well...it's hard to start with the Regent, why don't we start with the Princess Regent? I heard that the Princess Regent already knew the Prince Regent when she was still in the village, and said
Maybe the princess will have some clues."
This sounds true, but the soldiers below are not a breakthrough, let alone the dignified regent princess, but I don't know why, even though Ouyang Li thinks this is useless, he still agrees to the proposal by accident.
"Let's go investigate first."
In fact, Song Chen really had nothing to investigate. Everything she wanted people to know was on the surface, and the things she didn't want people to know had already been wiped clean. If they investigated further, they could only find out what was well known.
of.
Doesn't Ouyang Li know this? Of course he knows, but he just wants to know more about Song Chen.
But when he talked about Song Chen, he thought of the stone betting ground behind Jade Mountain.
"How's the stone betting business lately?"
As soon as this question came out, the people below fell silent again.
In the past, they could proudly answer such questions when their boss asked them, but now they simply don't have the confidence to say such things.
"The door is empty."
These four words are enough to explain how the business of their Xiaoyao Stone Gambling Center is now, "Since the opening of Princess Regent's Stone Gambling Center, there haven't been many people coming here."
This was also the reason why he proposed to investigate Song Chen. It was because that woman was too evil. They had been the sole owner of the stone betting business for so many years and had made good money. But they couldn't do it once they came here.
It turned out that they had discovered the Jade Mountain first, but they hadn't yet determined which mountain it was on. However, the Princess Regent climbed there first without saying a word. This was really a grudge.
"No one is there." Ouyang Li read these four words again, "Even if the Princess Regent has a reputation that can attract people, I'm afraid she won't be all there."
Such a situation has never happened to them in Xiaoyao. Now they even say such words, which is enough to prove how bad the situation is now.
Having said this, the people below were even more helpless.
"When I go back to my employer, if it is really just because of the name Princess Regent, there will indeed be no people coming, but the stone gambling shop opened by Princess Regent is very evil, and the quality of the rough stones is very good, so there are not even one store open now.
Months ago, we have already sold out a few pieces of high-quality materials."
In the stone gambling den, it is actually not a rare thing to be able to produce something. The materials that may be called high-quality are very rare, because if they are called high-quality in their industry, the water types are very good.
A few pieces of high-quality ingredients are available in less than a month, which is enough to attract people to go there. After all, everyone hopes that such a good thing will happen to them.
Who among those who gamble on stones doesn’t want to get rich with just one move?
"The younger one also asked someone to go to their stone gambling den and have a look. Although there are not many stones, people with sharp eyes can see some clues. There are very few stones that have nothing in them, and at the worst they are bean seeds."
Although the bean seeds are not valuable, they have already clearly classified them. The larger bean seeds cost two taels of silver per pound, while the smaller ones are priced as a whole piece.
No matter how you cut it, it will increase, it’s just a matter of making less money.
"Do they have other channels to purchase rough stones?" Ouyang Li didn't expect this to happen. Logically speaking, the key to gambling on stones is the word "gambling". Could it be that people over there can see what's inside the stone skin?
Things don’t work?
As everyone knows, although the people over at Song Chen's stone quarry couldn't guess it, there was someone under Song Chen with ruthless vision. Moreover, there was also Song Chen, a person who could really see inside. They let him out.
The stone is naturally good.
In order to increase the flow of people in the stone betting field, they naturally will not put those stones that have nothing in them.
What's more, apart from the workers' wages, they got the jade mountain without spending any money at all, so they were naturally more generous.
"It is said that they have a master with a particularly vicious vision. After all, it is about the Jade Mountain. If the regent had not arrived first, the Jade Mountain would have been ours, and there would be no such thing as their gambling on the stone quarry."
I get so angry when I think of this incident.
But Ouyang Li was more open-minded than him, "The Jade Mountain is something that has no owner. What's more, the regent is the current owner of Da Rong. Everything in Da Rong belongs to him. This cannot be said again.
"
They do business in Da Rong to make money, but if they accidentally offend the powerful with some words, it will be equivalent to cutting off their financial path.
Now, except for the downturn in the stone gambling den, other businesses are still pretty good, and he doesn't want anything else to affect this.
After all, money is too important to what they are doing now.
Without the financial support from Da Rong, they are like losing their arms.
The people below naturally didn't know what Ouyang Li was worried about. He had been holding these words in his heart for a long time, and it felt better to say them now.
"I'll just say it in front of you."
"Not allowed in front of anyone, never allowed again!"
