Chapter 453: Suddenly Appeared, Became Rich Overnight
Ye Zheng never expected that he had already escaped a disaster, but how could he fall into this "trap" again.
With a sad face, he paid a large sum of money and followed them carrying several heavy boxes.
I am so miserable.
Nan Yan, on the other hand, felt bad and turned to him, mouthing "sorry".
Then, he followed Zhu Feng out of the clothing store.
As soon as I walked out, I saw some white fluffy things floating down in front of my eyes. When I looked closely, it was snow.
It’s snowing!
Heavy snow fell from the sky, fluttering down. Soon, the roofs, the ground, and even people's shoulders were covered with white.
Nan Yan looked at the sky in surprise, and at the falling snow around her. This was the first time she saw snow in the north, and it was completely different from the snow in the south.
Moreover, after putting on the newly bought fur coat, I don’t feel cold at all.
Nan Yan happily stretched out her hand and caught a crystal snowflake. Just as she was about to take a closer look, the snowflake melted in her warm palm.
Zhu Feng glanced down at her, the corners of his mouth trying to twitch upwards, but he controlled himself and put on a serious face as he asked, "Ye Zheng, what did you find out?"
Nan Yan then remembered that Zhu Feng had just asked him to check the situation in the Treasure Pavilion.
He quickly turned around and looked at Ye Zheng.
Ye Zheng's expression also turned serious, and he said softly, "Sir, I have already found out that the big boss behind Baibao Pavilion is a man named Jie Shi."
"Stone-cutting? What for?"
"I heard that he is a wealthy businessman."
"oh?"
"But the court has no record of him."
Nan Yan listened and blinked.
She had heard before that the imperial court did register some wealthy merchants. Because Emperor Gao disliked people who engaged in business, he would ask wealthy merchants to pay for things like building the Great Wall and rewarding the army.
A relatively famous one is a wealthy businessman named Shen from Wuxing. It is said that when Emperor Gaozu established the capital in Nanjing, one-third of the capital was built with money from him.
And this stone cutter, who could afford to buy a mine, must be a very rich man.
However, the court did not keep any record of it.
No wonder, when Zhu Feng saw the token just now, his eyes looked so strange and he wanted to go check out the Treasure Pavilion in person.
Obviously, he had no impression of the wealthy businessman named "Xie".
So, I felt that there was something strange about this matter.
Zhu Feng asked, "Then, what other businesses does he have?"
Ye Zheng shook his head and said, "After a quick search, I found out that this person doesn't have any other businesses, but he has bought several mines in this area, as well as in Shanxi and Henan."
“…”
"It seems like he suddenly appeared and became rich overnight."
Get rich overnight?
Nan Yan couldn't help but think of the banknotes she had just won, and she held them more carefully in her pocket.
Zhu Feng frowned and pondered for a while before asking, "Where is this person now?"
Ye Zheng said, "It seems to be in this town."
“…”
"He has a house in front, and I heard it's very big."
“…”
"But he usually stays at home and rarely comes out."
Ye Zheng said this and then asked softly, "Sir, do you want to send someone to his house to investigate?"
Zhu Feng thought about it and said, "No need."
“…”
"We just closed his shop today and then had a fight with his men. Don't alarm him too much, or you might alert the enemy."
“…”
"Send someone to the mine to have a look."
"yes."
