Of course Tang Miaoxin had to make it up: "This mine has been mined for more than half a year, and tens of thousands of kilograms of iron can be smelted every day."
"As soon as the iron is smelted, someone will come and transport it away, so I don't know how much iron will be transported."
When the second prince heard the quantity of this piece of iron, he was so angry that he clenched his hands into fists.
He ordered in a cold voice: "These iron pieces are evidence, take them all away!"
There were not many iron blocks, so the soldiers quickly loaded them all onto the carriage. Even Tang Miaoxin had her hands and feet tied and threw them into the carriage.
They were not more than three miles away from the mine when a soldier from the government hurried over and said: "Your Highness, the prince has brought someone over!"
The second prince sneered: "He reacted quite quickly! But it's already too late."
The situation here was similar to what he expected. The fact that Ning Zhiyuan arrived so quickly proved that he attached great importance to this iron mine.
He knew Ning Zhiyuan's style of doing things, and he must have brought someone here this time. If there was a fight, he wouldn't be able to take advantage.
He then said to his confidants: "You take Tie Mine and Liu Er from the other side, and I will stop the prince."
The confidant responded and immediately asked the man transporting the iron blocks to leave.
The second prince stopped Ning Zhiyuan and said with a smile: "The prince feels bored again today, so he brought his troops here to hunt?"
When Ning Zhiyuan saw the second prince's face, his face became a little cold, and he only said: "Yes, it's a coincidence that I meet my second brother every time I go hunting!"
The second prince smiled even more happily: "I think it's quite a coincidence!"
"But I discovered something interesting while hunting today. I discovered an iron mine being mined in the mountain forest over there."
"We, Yan, have strong soldiers and horses, but we do not have high-quality iron ore, so we are lacking in weapons."
"If my father knew about the existence of such an iron mine, he would definitely be very happy."
Ning Zhiyuan's face turned ugly when he heard this. He didn't expect the second prince to be so bold and dare to confront him so openly!
He said coldly: "Yeah, that's a coincidence! I've never seen an iron mine before, and I want to see it too!"
The second prince responded with a smile.
What he wanted to do was to take the prince for a tour of the mine, and he could take the opportunity to transfer all the iron blocks and witnesses.
So he was happy to accompany Ning Zhiyuan in this drama.
When Ning Zhiyuan arrived at the iron mine, the place was in a mess and corpses could be seen everywhere.
His face suddenly turned dark. In his eyes, this scene was the second prince's provocation against him.
He said solemnly: "You did it?"
The second prince felt that he was the biggest winner today and smiled happily: "That's right!"
"I took my men and horses here to hunt today, and I happened to find someone digging for iron ore privately."
"I led my people to clean up the place. Unexpectedly, these thieves were so rampant that they dared to resist, so I killed some of them."
"The remaining ones were quite cunning and actually let them escape along the river."
When Ning Zhiyuan came over, he found that all the iron blocks he saw last time were gone. Needless to say, the second prince's people must have transported them away.
He spent a lot of energy on this iron mine.
He was about to reap the harvest, but the second prince hindered him.
He said solemnly: "Well, since this is an iron mine, why don't you see iron sand and iron nuggets?"
The second prince felt that most of those things had been transferred by Ning Zhiyuan, and he was just asking questions knowingly.
He simply felt disgusted with Ning Zhiyuan: "These thieves are so clever in their methods, they have turned all the iron sand into iron blocks."
"I have already taken these evidences and am planning to report them to my father when I return to Beijing later."
Ning Zhiyuan was ready to kill the second prince at this time. The second prince came well prepared today and had many experts with him. He could not kill the second prince.
He sneered and said: "In this case, I would like to congratulate my second brother for his great contribution!"
The second prince smiled cheerfully: "Your Majesty, that's a compliment. I just did what was my duty!"
"Such a large iron mine has been mined for such a long time but has not been discovered. There must be strong support behind it."
When he said this, he looked at Ning Zhiyuan with a smile on his face: "Who do you think the prince is behind this?"
No matter how much Ning Zhiyuan felt sorry for the iron ore, after all the iron blocks were taken away, he knew that the most important thing was not to expose himself.
He gave the second prince a very sinister smile: "How could I know this?"
The second prince smiled and said: "That's right. The prince is usually very busy. He was banned by his father some time ago. I don't know that things here are normal."
"But no matter how cunning the master behind this iron mine is, I am confident that I can dig out the man behind it!"
Ning Zhiyuan sneered: "It's hard work for my second brother!"
The two looked at each other, both wishing to kill each other, but they both burst into laughter.
The two of them had their own concerns, but on the surface they acted like brothers and sisters, and even returned to the city together.
But after the two got on their respective carriages, Ning Zhiyuan coldly ordered Chen Zhiwen: "Go to Tang Yishen immediately and find out what happened!"
The second prince asked his confidants: "Have the witnesses and iron blocks been placed?"
His confidant looked troubled: "Something happened, the witnesses were kidnapped, and all the iron pieces disappeared!"
The second prince stood up immediately, but forgot that he was in the carriage, and hit his head on the carriage, causing him to gasp in pain.
He covered his head and said, "Idiot, you can't even handle this!"
The confidant winced and said, "The people who came to rob the witnesses and the iron blocks are very powerful. They should be the prince's people."
The second empress was so angry that he thought he had just held Ning Zhiyuan back, but he didn't expect that Ning Zhiyuan had the same plan as him, holding him back and kidnapping him!
He originally thought that the iron mine incident was ironclad evidence that could bring down Ning Zhiyuan.
He had all these evidences in his hands, but he didn't expect that he would fall short in the end!
He said with a cold face: "I really underestimated the prince!"
Because of this incident, he was angry. When he entered Beijing, he didn't even want to look at Ning Zhiyuan, so he turned around and left.
In Ning Zhiyuan's eyes, the second prince's behavior was just taking advantage of him to demonstrate against him, and his face didn't look good.
Only when the second prince walked halfway, he saw the sky rising in the direction of his mansion.
His confidants were a little surprised and said: "The direction of the fire seems to be the direction of the palace."
The second prince's expression changed drastically when he saw this scene. As soon as he arrived at the door of the mansion, the steward greeted him: "Your Highness, it's bad, there was a fire in the mansion today!"
"The fire came very strangely. I also smelled the smell of kerosene. Someone must have set the fire deliberately!"
The second prince's face was twisted and almost ferocious: "It's Ning Zhiyuan, it must be him!"
"He plotted against me last time, but he dared to set fire to my house this time. I'm going to settle the score with him now!"
