Chapter 1206: Qin Wenzheng Is Leaving
However, that person disappeared after entering the mountain.
“If not for Qin Shu’s help, I’m afraid we would have returned empty-handed this time.” As Qin Wenzheng spoke, he looked at Qin Shu, who was eating pastries curiously.
The latter immediately retracted his hand, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Gu Yundong quickly pushed the plate in front of him. “Eat them. I specially brought them over for you to eat. If you refuse them, you won’t be treating me as your sister.”
Qin Shu hurriedly grabbed two and stuffed them into his mouth.
Qin Wenzheng laughed and continued, “Qin Shu is familiar with the mountains. He also saw that person enter the mountains with his own eyes. There’s a stronghold in the mountains. Qin Shu brought our people secretly into the stronghold and found a secret passage. Through that secret passage, we found a mine.”
Gu Yundong’s eyes widened. A mine?
“It’s not a very big mine,” Qin Wenzheng said. “But that’s an iron mine. Those people captured many people to mine for them. The iron ores from the mine are used to forge weapons. The village Qin Shu is in is only the outermost area. The food in the mine was transported through that village. If not for that secret passage, we wouldn’t have been able to find that small mine.”
This was also the reason why Qin Wenzheng didn’t take action when he learned about this stronghold from Gu Yundong. Even if they had taken down this small village back then, it would have been useless. There were only about ten families in the village, and at most, they would have been accused of being bandits.
However, in this way, they would never be able to find that small mine.
At this point, Qin Wenzheng couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. “I told you before that I was in Fengkai County to investigate something. Actually, it was for this mine. Back then, someone risked his life to escape from the small mine. Coincidentally, I met him. Unfortunately, that person died before he could say the exact location.”
He reported this matter to the current emperor, who was still the crown prince at that time. The emperor asked him to find out the location of the mine, so he stayed in Fengkai County as a teacher.
Gu Yundong was enlightened. So that was the case.
No wonder Qin Wenzheng had asked Shao Qingyuan a few times about the Nine Tigers Mountain. No wonder Dai Wenhuo had asked Shao Qingyuan to bring them deep into the Nine Tigers Mountain in the name of hunting.
Unfortunately, the Nine Tigers Mountain was too big, and there were many dangerous beasts inside. It was too difficult to find such a hidden mine.
Fortunately, there was a huge breakthrough.
However, Qin Wenzheng still sighed. “Unfortunately, we’ve found the mine, but we didn’t find the person behind it. We only know that that person is in the capital.”

Gu Yundong suddenly realized something. Her eyes flickered and she asked in a low voice, “You… are going back to the capital?”
“Yes.”
As expected. Gu Yundong felt a little reluctant.
Although they usually argued and despised each other, they were already friends. They had worked together more than once or twice. She had helped Qin Wenzheng a few times, and Qin Wenzheng similarly did not treat her as an outsider and protected her the entire time.
“But don’t worry. Even if I leave, no one will dare to touch your workshops now. Not to mention anything else, the few big families in the county have a good relationship with you.”
Wasn’t that so?
There was no need to mention the Liu family. The Peng family also took good care of Gu Yundong. Without Master Tao in charge of the Tao family, they were also very friendly to Gu Yundong. The Zhang family was even directly destroyed.
The new pastry shop in the county had already formed a cooperative relationship with Gu Yundong.
