Chapter 279 Found the news

Tang Yue was listening with great interest to Qiuzi and Zheping's stories. "So, you two are from the apparently declining Heike clan? Where is your master?"
Qiuzi's eyes were unfocused. She stared straight ahead and mechanically answered Tang Yue's question, "Our master is the current head of the Ping family. We don't know exactly where he lives, but I'm sure they've been in Guanqi County."
"Guanqi County? Doesn't this place belong to Guanqi?"
They both shook their heads, "This is Mitsuki Town, part of Miyakonojo City."
Tang Yue smiled. "Why aren't you in Guanqi? Isn't that closer to your master?"
Teppei replied dully, "My master said an old Chinese saying: Don't put all your eggs in one basket. The Ping family has no power in public now, so anyone can bully them."
They are often humiliated, and we are afraid that we will lose control and be exposed. Therefore, the master asked us to live here.
This place is very close to Guanqi County. If something were to happen, we could go there to get help. Or it would be very convenient to escape from the Japanese search."
"Why are you running away?"
"Because the master has a map of China's oil reserves. As long as he gets that map, he can go to China to mine for oil."
Tang Yue's eyes suddenly changed, "China's oil reserve map?"
Qiuzi said, "The Heike family once sent countless people to China as undercover agents, with the goal of incorporating China into the Heike family's territory. However, this wish was ultimately not realized.
However, those years were not without gains. The Ping family possessed precise oil exploration technology, and the Ping family had marked the oil reserves in most parts of China.
Tang Yue smiled wickedly, "Have you also been to China?"
Qiuzi's eyes flickered with nostalgia. "Yes, although that country is very poor, it has a vast territory and extremely rich resources. If it becomes the master's territory, then..."
Tang Yue didn't want to hear her continue dreaming, "Stop! Tell me about the Ping family."
A confident smile spread across Akiko's face. "Everyone says the Taira clan has fallen. But few know that the Taira clan has always been divided into an open faction and a covert faction.
The Heike clan did decline back then, but that was only the visible branch. In reality, the Heike clan still retained considerable strength in secret.
Now, the members of the Taira clan have changed their names and placed people in various positions in the country. As long as the time comes, the Taira clan can immediately revive. "
Tang Yue was not interested in the internal strife and family revival in Japan, but the Heike family had done so many things behind the scenes in China, how could she possibly let them go?
"Why are you so sure the Taira clan can rise again?"
There seemed to be a trace of struggle on Qiuzi's face, but the amount of truth serum Tang Yue gave them was considerable, so the struggle was only for a moment, and then Qiuzi told the truth.
"Outsiders don't know that there are actually large gold and silver mines in Guanqi County. And all of these have fallen into the hands of the master."
"No excavation?"
"Yes. Haha, no one knows that beneath every dilapidated house of the Heike family is a pile of gold and silver. And..."
The smug look on Qiuzi's face was not fake at all. Tang Yue said coldly, "Continue!"
"Also, those dilapidated houses are actually connected underground."
Tang Yue couldn't help but gasp. This project was actually quite large. However, didn't they just say that they didn't know where their master was?
"Do you know where the Heike clan gathers?"
Akiko and Teppei nodded simultaneously. "Most of the people in Guanqi County are actually members of the Ping family. The underground of Guanqi County is the world of the Ping family."
Tang Yue found it incredible. Could it be such a huge project? Feeling that she had asked enough questions, she also learned about the permanent address of the Ping family. Tang Yue quietly dealt with the two people.
They were not innocent. Both had been to China and committed many crimes there. Several notorious incidents in a certain region of China had the two of them involved. How could Tang Yue let them enjoy their lives in Japan?
How innocent are those Chinese people who were persecuted by them?
Minerals? Oil? Tang Yue's eyes flashed with sarcasm. The Ping family? They had such a bright idea, actually wanting to bring China under one family's control. Should Tang Yue call them fanciful or overly ambitious?
She really wanted to ask the Emperor of Japan if they were still thinking about such beautiful things.
Tang Yue took off directly. She wanted to see the specific topography of the entire capital city. Since the Japanese took the trouble to find a way to get the map of China, Tang Yue thought that she now had such an advantage, so it would not be impossible to help China draw a specific map of Japan.
However, my time here is limited, so I'll just do as much as I can for now. After all, there's still plenty of time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Tang Yue didn't find any mineral resources in the capital city. However, since there were no good people in Japan, she didn't need to be polite. All the products produced in the factories and warehouses in the capital city were emptied by Tang Yue.
Tang Yue arrived at the sea near Ducheng. She had a subtle feeling that something was calling her from the waters nearby. The feeling wasn't as strong as when she was in the sea, but Tang Yue decided to go and see.
By the time we reached the beach, it was already noon. Tang Yue was leading the charge in Ducheng, and someone in the back noticed something was missing and started looking for the police. The police in Ducheng were incredibly busy today.
Tang Yue no longer paid attention to what was happening in the city. She had already arrived at the beach invisibly. She followed the traction and walked on the water. Not long after she went, Tang Yue felt the pull from the sea below.
After putting on the spiritual shield, Tang Yue went directly into the water. It didn't take long for her to reach the seabed. The seabed was covered with dark brown stones of various sizes. The surface of these stones was relatively rough, with many small bumps and depressions, looking a bit like a pockmarked stone.
Some stones have other marine organisms or other sediments attached to their surfaces, making the surface look even more complicated.
Tang Yue was sure that these things were pulling her. She couldn't remember what they were for a moment, but since they were useful, Tang Yue collected them on the seabed without mercy!
It was unknown how long it took before Tang Yue emerged from the seabed. She took out the clock from her space and glanced at it. Two days had already passed. The bustle of the capital city should have died down by then.
Tang Yue felt it was time to go to Guanqi to meet the Ping clan. They were still a clan, but a clan was also quite good, so it was a good opportunity to wipe them out all at once. China's mineral resources could not fall into their hands.
It was dusk when Tang Yue arrived in Guanqi County. The sunset glowed like a blazing flame, dyeing the entire county orange-red. Upon entering the county, Tang Yue immediately noticed something was amiss.
The streets were sparsely populated, all in a hurry, as if deliberately hiding something. Most of the shops along the street had their doors half-closed, letting in dim lights, giving people a sense of oppression.
Tang Yue strolled along the streets of Guanqi County, seemingly casually looking at everything around her, but in fact, she took in every detail.
She noticed that many residents flashed a flicker of alarm when they saw her, an outsider, and then quickly avoided her gaze. This unusual behavior made Tang Yue even more convinced that this county was hiding a secret.
In order to find clues about the Ping family, Tang Yue decided to start with rumors. She came to a seemingly bustling tavern, but as soon as she entered, the originally noisy tavern suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were cast towards her, full of vigilance.
Tang Yue sneered in her heart, but pretended nothing had happened, found a corner to sit down, and ordered a pot of tea and some side dishes.
She sipped her tea and listened attentively to the conversations of those around her. However, everyone seemed to tacitly avoid sensitive topics and only talked about trivial matters that were of no importance.
Tang Yue was not discouraged. It was not easy for her to hear some news, but it should not be difficult either.
