"Okay, let's rest here today!"
Chen Yong looked at the group of little followers who were moving as slowly as a turtle and had no choice but to give up on their journey.
He took out the map from his arms and studied it carefully.
He discovered this map when he stole from Emperor Tianwu's study.
The map depicts this mountain range, with several places marked on it.
If it weren't for this map, he wouldn't have walked through the mountains.
"Seventh Brother, is this a map of the mountains?"
Madam Shen came closer to Shen Yong and saw at a glance that this was the map of this mountain range.
Such confidential maps are usually only owned by the royal family, so how could the seventh brother have one?
"Yeah!" Shen Yong nodded and pointed to a few points marked on the map.
"These places should be gold and silver mines."
There is nothing wrong with saying this.
Everyone present heard it, and they knew that they could not take the silver from the gold and silver mines.
I can only stare blankly.
Just as Zhang Wenyuan was about to walk over to find Shen Yong, he heard what Shen Yong said to Madam Shen while holding the map.
He looked at Shen Yong in shock.
No way...
Is this guy planning to take over the gold and silver mines?
Shen Yong didn't kill them, but brought so many of them into the mountains. Could it be that they were there to help him move gold and silver mines?
Zhang Wenyuan looked back at his teammates.
Looking at the tired looks of the crowd, he felt that even if Chen Yong took them to the gold mine, he would not be able to move much gold.
Madam Shen looked at Shen Yong in shock.
“There are so many gold and silver mines in this mountain?”
After saying this, Mrs. Shen's brows suddenly frowned.
"If there are so many gold and silver mines in the mountains, there must be a lot of soldiers arranged by Emperor Tianwu. We have to be careful."
When Old Madam Shen glanced at the royal seal on the map, she knew that the map was obtained by the Seventh Prince from the palace.
As for how Lao Qi got it, she didn't want to ask.
"Don't be afraid!" Shen Yong smiled faintly.
It would be good to have soldiers. Once the gold and silver mines are mined, they can just take them away, which saves him the time of mining.
However, the soldiers definitely haven't finished mining yet, so he still needs to work harder.
"You're here, come and take a look." Shen Yong already knew that Zhang Wenyuan was standing behind him.
He turned around and glanced at Zhang Wenyuan.
Madam Shen’s eyes were all on the map, and when she suddenly heard Shen Yong’s words, she turned around in surprise.
Seeing that it was Zhang Wenyuan, Madam Shen looked at Shen Yong with a complicated expression.
Although Zhang Wenyuan is the cousin of the fifth daughter-in-law, this guy has always been a very ambitious person.
How could he be willing to follow behind Lao Qi? The main reason was that this guy used to look down on Lao Qi.
Zhang Wenyuan noticed Madam Shen's scrutinizing gaze and curled his lips slightly.
He walked to Chen Yong with his head held high.
"Boss Shen, what do you want me to see?"
Chen Yong looked at Zhang Wenyuan who was asking questions knowingly, and smiled.
"You often wander around the palace. Take a look at the two gold mines and three silver mines. Which one was mined earlier?"
He couldn't tell from the drawings, after all, they were just marked with red and black circles.
You can only tell which is the gold mine and which is the silver mine.
Now he just needs to cross this hill and he will encounter two gold and silver mines facing each other.
Zhang Wenyuan looked at Shen Yong in surprise, then lowered his eyes to look at the drawings.
“This gold mine was mined quite early…”
Zhang Wenyuan raised his hand and pointed to the nearest gold mine.
When Emperor Tianwu learned that gold and silver mines were discovered at the same time, he immediately ordered the gold mines to be mined first.
Who doesn't like gold?
Anyway, there are two mines to be mined, so naturally I have to mine my favorite gold mine first.
Later, the guards who supervised the miners discovered several more gold and silver mines.
Shen Yong raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Wenyuan, then smiled.
This guy is worthy of being the emperor's close minister. He knows such confidential matters.
"Which mine is the largest?"
Zhang Wenyuan looked at Chen Yong in shock, pursed his lips, and pointed to the middle of the mountain range.
"The gold mine here is the largest, and the emperor hasn't had time to send people to mine it yet."
"However, the mines marked here are all guarded by guards, and they are already making preparations for mining."
Emperor Tianwu was afraid that too many people would know about it, so he planned to use this group of miners to mine.
The main reason is that the Great Celestial Empire was not short of money before, so the mining progress has never been very fast.
Now that the capital city has suffered a divine punishment, Emperor Tianwu is extremely short of silver. He may send people to transport the mined gold and silver soon.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wenyuan's heart skipped a beat and his eyes dodged slightly.
He hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and looked at Shen Yong with a serious expression.
"One more thing..."
Shen Yong and Old Madam Shen were staring at the largest gold mine on the map when they suddenly heard Zhang Wenyuan's low voice and turned to look at him.
"Is there anything else?" Shen Yong frowned and looked at Zhang Wenyuan.
He was still thinking about the geographical location of the largest gold mine.
The largest gold mine was three hills away from them. These three hills were high and big, and it was difficult to walk on them.
What he was just thinking about was whether to take these people with him or go alone.
But he was worried about leaving these women to follow the palace guards.
Zhang Wenyuan pursed his lips.
"The day the Shen family was exiled, the entire capital was punished by heaven, and suffered heavy losses..."
"Heavenly punishment!?" Old Madam Shen looked at Zhang Wenyuan in confusion.
She couldn't understand what it meant.
When they left the capital, they didn't hear any big noise in the capital.
Shen Yong didn't expect that this was what Zhang Wenyuan was talking about.
He looked calm on the outside, but he was laughing like crazy inside.
It seems that the huge stone engraved with "Heavenly Punishment" really shocked Emperor Tianwu.
Yes, such a big stone appeared in the Golden Palace without anyone noticing. They could not think of anything else except "divine punishment".
Zhang Wenyuan looked at Shen Yong, who had a calm expression, and frowned in surprise.
He looked at the confused Madam Shen and nodded.
"Yes, it was a punishment from heaven. Overnight, the entire imperial palace and the residences of the aristocratic families and nobles were all reduced to poverty."
"The palace seems to have been swept away by a layer of land. The emperor is now extremely short of money."
"So, he will definitely send people here to transport the mined gold and silver..."
This will happen whether he says it or not. Emperor Tianwu's people will come sooner or later.
He told Shen Yong in advance to show his sincerity in surrendering.
The reason why he knew what was marked on the map was entirely because he had good hearing, not because Emperor Tianwu trusted him so much.
When he was assigned to be on duty outside the imperial study, he could basically hear what people inside were saying unless they deliberately lowered their voices.
Isn't the advantage of having excellent hearing demonstrated?
