On the streets of Xianyang City!

Ying Ziye walked aimlessly with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Does Hou Qing have anything to do with the Seven Kills Sect?"

"Otherwise, how could he know the Seven Kills Sect so well?"

"..."

At the corner of the street, in the alley.

Wu Gou accidentally spotted Ying Ziye walking on the street, and a look of surprise appeared on his cheeks.

"How is that possible?!"

"Did the Seven Killers Sect fail?"

As Wu Gou murmured softly, his face became even more ugly!

"Let the Seven Kills Sect fail! This is no small matter!"

"No! This news must be reported to the head of the family as soon as possible!"

After saying this, Wu Gou immediately turned around and left, heading towards the Wu family.

at the same time.

Ying Zi wandered around at night and unknowingly came to an alley corner.

"Sir, can you come here for a moment?"

Calling softly, a warning sound sounded from not far away, interrupting Ying Ziye's thoughts.

Looking around.

In a shop, a waiter was carefully waving his hand towards Ying Ziye, beckoning him to come.

"Oh!"

Ying Ziye chuckled and walked towards the waiter out of curiosity.

"What? What's the matter?"

The waiter smiled mysteriously and said enigmatically: "You will feel troubled when you look at the young master."

"oh?"

Ying Ziye was startled, then smiled and said, "How do you know?"

The waiter patted his chest, pointed at his own eyes and said, "To be honest, sir, my eyes see all kinds of people every day."

"I dare not say anything else. I can tell at a glance whether he has something on his mind."

"oh?!"

"interesting!"

"From what you say, it seems like it can solve my troubles."

Ying Ziye said with a playful smile.

"hey-hey!"

"That's fine, as long as you can afford the price!"

"Um?"

Ying Ziye's eyebrows moved slightly, and he smelled an unusual smell.

"Why does your store have the strength to say it can solve everything?"

"Young master, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters, just say what you want to solve."

Ying Ziye hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Is it possible to smelt iron?"

Important industries such as salt and iron are related to people's daily lives and are extremely important. They are all operated by state monopolies.

And it can increase the empire's finances.

Therefore, no matter which country in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, private operations in salt and iron production were prohibited.

The same was true when it came to the Qin Empire.

Violators will be beheaded, and even the nine tribes will be implicated!

When the waiter heard this, his expression was slightly startled!

But it only took a moment before everything returned to normal again.

Obviously, anyone who comes here will solve problems that the empire will not tolerate!

"Who is your Excellency?"

Ying Ziye looked calm and said: "I am a north-south trader. I specialize in traveling between Guanzhong and the north. I specialize in selling furs and other items."

"Now that the war in the north has begun, this iron weapon is in urgent need. If there is a way, we will definitely make a fortune!"

"I just don't know if you have the ability..."

When the waiter heard this, he looked Ying Ziye up and down.

After seeing that there was nothing abnormal, the waiter nodded and said: "It can be done, but the price will definitely be more expensive."

"A pound of iron costs a thousand cents."

"Young master, you can come back to pick up the goods in two days."

"Thousands of coins!!!"

"It seems a little too high, right?"

"You must know that transportation from Guanzhong to the northern border requires management from top to bottom, and labor costs also need to increase..."

Ying Ziye pretended to be a businessman and calculated carefully so as not to make the other party suspicious.

"Iron weapons are a great sin!"

"The price is naturally higher, as for what you use these iron tools for!"

"We won't ask about this!"

"As for the cost you mentioned, of course we don't need to consider it!"

"If you don't want to, please go elsewhere!"

After saying that, the waiter turned around and walked to the back room.

"No, no, no!"

"Everything is easy to discuss!"

"A thousand coins, then a thousand coins!"

"This is a deposit of three hundred taels. When I see the thing, the remaining balance will be given to me."

Ying Ziye feigned pain and took out three hundred taels of gold from his arms and placed it on the cabinet.

When the waiter saw this, he smiled brightly and accepted the deposit.

"This is right!"

"If the cost is high, this thing can naturally increase, and it won't be a loss for you!"

"How much iron ore do you want?"

When Ying Ziye heard this, he said with a smile: "As many as you want!"

"What!!!"

The waiter looked at Ying Ziye in shock and asked doubtfully: "Do you have that much money?"

Ying Ziye smiled slightly and said, "Now, you don't have to worry!"

"If the money is not enough, I will naturally try my best to raise it!"

When the waiter heard this, he pondered over and over again and said firmly: "Okay!"

"As for how much iron ore there is, I will let you know in two days."

"It's up to you, don't say you have no money in the end! You must know that the boss behind this store is not something you can afford to offend!"

"rest assured!"

Ying Ziye smiled slightly, turned around and walked out of the store.

but!

When Ying Zi walked to the corner of the alley at night, his face instantly turned cold.

Selling salt and iron!

The crime of empire!

What's more, in the city of Xianyang, at the feet of the emperor, he openly committed such a rebellious thing!

"Tiangang, you've seen that shop, right? Keep an eye on it."

"Here!"

Yuan Tiangang came with a message, but no one knows where he is hiding!

Guanzhong clan.

Inside the Wu Family Mansion!

Wu Gou reported the situation to Wu Su and said solemnly: "Brother, the Eighth Young Master is not dead, and he is even walking on the street arrogantly."

"The killer sent by the Seven Kills Sect has probably been killed!"

"What!!!"

Wu Su looked shocked and lost his voice: "I didn't expect the rumors that there is a big secret in the Eighth Young Master's house. It's true!"

"Brother, what should we do now?"

Wu Gou looked solemn and stared at Wu Su!

In the main hall, Wu Su was pacing.

After about half an hour, Wu Su Ning's wrinkled face gradually relaxed, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the Seven Killers Sect dares to take over, they will definitely complete the mission."

"Second brother, please restrain yourself a little during this time."

"The previous incident has aroused Eighth Young Master's suspicion!"

"We must not let Mr. Hachi get any more excuses!"

"Here!"

Wu Gou nodded in agreement, bowed and retreated.

On this occasion, a servant stepped forward.

"Second Patriarch, a big deal has arrived!"

"Um?"

Wu Gou let out a light sigh, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

He didn't like others to call him the deputy head of the family, so his subordinates all called him the second head of the family.

After listening to the servant report everything that happened in the shop, Wu Gou couldn't help but have a look of greed on his face.

Even though Wu Su had told him many times just now, the iron ore business really made him a little excited.

If this is done, it will definitely be a considerable income!

In fact, the entire Wu family will grow stronger again because of this and may become the leader of the Guanzhong clan.

And his status in the family is not any weaker than that of the current head of the family.

"good!"

"Go down immediately and order the iron ore accounts to be sent to me in the study!"

"Here!"

…

In two days!

The appointed day has arrived!

But Ying Ziye had no intention of leaving at all, and was waiting quietly at his house.

At this time, a figure suddenly arrived, Yuan Tiangang bowed and said: "The bad guy sent news that Wu Gou has appeared in that shop."

"Haha, have you taken the bait now..."

Ying Ziye smiled slightly and ordered: "Order someone to go and inform Li Si to bring all the soldiers and horses!"

"Here!"

Yuan Tiangang accepted the order with his hands raised and stepped back.

About an hour or so.

In Xianyang City!

In an inconspicuous shop at the end of the alley.

Wu Gou was sitting upstairs waiting calmly, with a smile occasionally appearing on the corner of his mouth.

But as time went on, Wu Gou vaguely felt that something was not right.

According to the agreed time, it was more than an hour later.

But the other party didn't show up at all!

"Could it be that the other party broke the appointment?"

"But, he paid again, and it was quite a lot..."

"Is there any fraud involved?"

Wu Gou was suddenly startled and asked in a cold voice: "What did the person you talked to earlier look like?"

The waiter in the shop felt the invisible coercion emanating from the second family master, and recalled anxiously: "The second master of the family is a young master. He looks like a weakling. He is wearing a black and white robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, the peak of his eyebrows slanting into the temples, and a high nose...

…The bearing is very extraordinary!”

As the waiter described it, Wu Gou's face became increasingly ugly, and the depravity in his mind became clearer and clearer.

"asshole!"
Chapter completed!
