The next morning, Su Li had breakfast and bought some dry food before going to the mule and horse shop to hire a carriage.
When hiring a carriage, she said her destination was Shanglin Province in the east.
After the carriage left the city, she told the coachman that they had changed their destination and were heading directly to Pingjin Province.
There is another province between Xishan Province and Pingjin Province. Fortunately, the road is relatively flat and smooth, and the carriage finally arrived after two days of travel.
Arriving at the gate of Li Yingfeng's residence, the groom reminded her, "Miss, we have arrived at the Pingxi General's residence."
"Thank you very much."
When Su Li gave the money to the groom, he was stunned and said quickly, "Miss, you gave too much."
My goodness, this girl is so careless. She gave two taels of silver too much.
Su Li smiled and said, "Master, I would like to ask you for a small favor."
The groom suddenly realized, no wonder, but why should he be given so much silver?
"What's the favor? Tell me."
If it's too difficult, he can't do it.
"Master, I was forced to become a concubine by a village bully. I refused and secretly escaped. If anyone asks you, just say I went to Shanglin Province."
She didn't want Li Yuzhi to know that she had come to the Pingxi General's Mansion. Otherwise, with his carefulness and caution, he would definitely guess what she wanted to do. If he did something desperate, it would be bad.
The groom immediately understood that she was afraid that the bully would know her whereabouts, but said, "Miss, since you know General Pingxi, why should you be afraid of the bully?"
Who is General Pingxi? How dare a petty bully go against General Pingxi?
Su Li shook her head. "I don't know General Pingxi. It's just that my distant cousin works as a maid in the general's mansion. I have nowhere else to go, so I had no choice but to come and seek refuge with her."
"I see. Don't worry, young lady. If anyone asks me where you've been, I'll definitely tell you what you said."
"Thank you very much..."
Afterwards, Su Li sent the coachman back and walked towards the gate of Pingxi General's Mansion.
As soon as he entered the gate of Pingxi General's Mansion, he was stopped by two gate guards: "Who are you?"
"My name is Mo Qingcheng, and I have something extremely important to report. Please let me know."
The two guards did not agree with this.
This woman has an outstanding appearance. Needless to say, it is obvious that she is here to seduce their general. After all, there are more than ten women like this every year. They are used to seeing them, so why would they report it?
One of the guards simply said, "Without any proof, how can we trust you? Get out of here!"
Su Li was not surprised by this. After all, as a general, he was busy with all kinds of affairs every day, so it was impossible for him to casually meet someone who came to him for no reason.
Then he said directly: "You two, I have something to tell General Li about the eldest prince, Prince Ning. Of course, if you think this matter is unimportant, you don't need to report it to General Li. However, I will go to the capital immediately to report to His Royal Highness Prince Chun. Of course, if this delays His Royal Highness Prince Chun's affairs, you will bear the consequences!"
As he said this, he pretended to leave.
The guards were immediately frightened. It was easy to send the woman away, but they were afraid that she really had something important to tell them.
If things are delayed because of the two of them, they cannot bear the responsibility.
The two looked at each other, and one of them quickly called out to Su Li, "Miss, please wait a moment. I will go and report to the general.
It's just a report to the general. As for whether to see him or not, the general will make the decision himself. At most, you won't be punished.
Su Li curled up the corners of his mouth and thought to himself, as expected, people are afraid of taking responsibility.
The guard came out shortly after entering and said, "Miss, the general invites you in..."
The guard who had just gone in to report led the way for her.
The general's mansion is very large, but the interior layout is basically simple.
When I entered the main hall, I saw a middle-aged man sitting at the top. The man was not particularly tall, but he exuded a strong aura.
Su Li intuitively felt that it was murderous aura, the murderous aura cultivated from years of immersion in the battlefield.
This person must be General Pingxi Li Yingfeng.
The guard bowed and said respectfully, "General, the person has been brought here."
Su Li bowed and saluted: "Mo Qingcheng greets the general."
Then he was stunned. How could she salute? And do it so naturally and familiarly?
Is it the muscle memory from the original owner again?
But in the original novel, Mo Qingcheng is just an ordinary civilian, and it seems that she doesn’t know these things?
"Miss Mo, there's no need to be so polite."
Li Yingfeng didn't waste any words and asked directly, "I heard you have something important to talk to me about?"
Su Li nodded and said the important thing directly without any nonsense: "Prince Ning is illegally mining gold in Xishan."
Li Yingfeng was shocked: "What did you say?"
"Illegal gold mining? Where is it in Xishan?"
"In Xishan, Xishan Province."
How did you find out?
Su Li then spoke in detail, "Seven months ago, I accidentally entered the Xishan Mine. After working there for a few months, I learned that the so-called Dajin secret gold mine was actually an illegal mine, and the mastermind behind the illegal mining was the current Crown Prince, Prince Ning."
"How do you know that's Prince Ning's gold mine?"
Li Yingfeng was somewhat skeptical. After all, if it was really Prince Ning who was illegally mining gold, why would he casually reveal his identity and let those working in the mine know?
unless……
Sure enough, Su Li continued, "I've never met Prince Ning, but I have seen Prince Xiao of the Qingping Earl's Mansion several times. He made no secret of his identity in the mountains. Later, I overheard that Prince Ning and Prince Xiao had long planned to kill all the slaves and cooks in the mountains once the gold mines were exhausted."
