Chai Yan nodded lightly and asked: "Master Dan, we keep the discovery of gold veins in Lintai Mountain strictly confidential. How did you know about it?"
Sha'er Zidan thought for a while and said: "It was the news from Elder Hanuo's people, but he also told us not to talk nonsense."
"Then you still tell me?" Chai Yan asked.
Sha'er Zidan also smiled and said: "Master Chai, who are you? Do you know about this? It's not a rumor if I tell you."
Chai Yan smiled and asked: "Then what are the opinions and voices within the Youlong Clan on this matter?"
"Well..." Sha'er Zidan thought about it for a moment and replied: "Everyone was surprised and surprised, some were anxious and some were happy, in short there were all kinds of voices...
"
Chai Yan couldn't help but frown, thinking about Sha'er Zidan's words, and said doubtfully: "I can understand being anxious, but Mr. Dan, what are those happy people thinking?"
"What are you thinking? I just thought that Lintai Mountain is not far from Yuntai Mountain. In the future, the people under my command will be able to mine and have work to do..." Sha'er Zidan drank heavily after finishing speaking.
, and asked Su Ni to pour him wine.
Chai Yan couldn't help but secretly shake his head, thinking that some people are really naive. Do they think that the imperial court will hand over the gold mines in Lintai Mountain to you to continue mining?
Seeing that Sha'er Zidan was drinking too fast, Su Ni advised her: "Master Dan, don't drink too much. Look how red your face is."
"It's okay. It's rare to have a drink and talk with Mr. Chai." Sha'er Zidan waved his hand and didn't care.
At this time, Chai Yan suddenly realized that there was another meaning in Sha'er Zidan's words, and asked: "Master Dan, listening to what you just said, is it because many people in your clan have no mining and no work?
"
Sha'er Zidan didn't hide anything, and sighed: "That's right. The gold in Yuntai Mountain is getting less and less. Some mines almost no longer produce gold, and many miners are too lazy to enter.
Go to the mountains, because you can’t dig out anything after several days of digging, so going into the mountains is just a waste of work, alas..."
"Is it so difficult?" Chai Yan lamented and asked, "But I've been walking around the city these days and heard that some miners' incomes are quite considerable. Did I hear wrongly?"
Su Ni happened to pour wine for Chai Yan, so she took advantage of the situation and said, "Master Chai, you heard me right, but most of the miners who earn much more are from the elder Hanuo's family, so they are an exception...
..."
"From Elder Hanuo's family?" Chai Yan didn't quite understand and scratched his head curiously.
Sha'er Zidan drank a lot of wine, and under the influence of the alcohol, he complained loudly: "Now our Youlong tribe has been covered by Hanuo and his family. Even my grandfather personally came to negotiate, but there is still nothing we can do."
, all the good things have been taken over by their family... Damn it!"
After saying this, Sha'er Zidan felt depressed in his heart and couldn't help but take another sip of wine, showing melancholy on his face.
Chai Yan became even more curious and asked with concern: "Master Dan, listening to what you said, is there something big going on in the clan?"
Sha'er Zidan could no longer hide his words and simply spoke openly: "Master Chai, you are not from our tribe. Originally, I shouldn't complain to you about this matter, but what Hanuo and An Huai's family did is really
It’s too much!”
Next, Sha Er Zidan talked about the unfair distribution of mines in Yuntai Mountain, how big the gap between the income of the Hanuo family and that of his own family and others was, as well as the many important and key positions within the family.
, Hanuo and An Huai used various means to replace them with their own people.
Chai Yan was surprised as he listened, recalling the outbreak of civil strife in the Youlong tribe, the death of the last chief Su Lan, the death of the last chief Su Jushiyong and his son, and finally the death of his eighteen-year-old grandson.
An Huai pushed him to a high position, and Chai Yan couldn't help but secretly admire the skill and power of Elder Hanuo.
Sha'er Zidan felt thirsty and took another sip of wine, but maybe he drank too quickly and accidentally choked and coughed.
Su Ni hurriedly went over to rub his back, frowning and said: "Please drink slowly, there is no one to compete with you..."
"Ahem..." Sha'er Zidan waved his hand and said: "I'm fine, it was just an accident...Ahem..."
Taking advantage of this gap, Chai Yan asked: "Mr. Dan, I remember your grandfather, Elder Sang Mu, and Elder Hanuo. They had a very good relationship, right? How come they have even taken over your family's interests?
"
Sha'er Zidan shook his head: "To say that we have good friendship, it was in the past. Since his grandson An Huai became the patriarch, the Hanuo family has paid less and less attention to other people, including our family.
......."
After taking a breath, Shaer Zidan continued: "Let's just talk about yesterday. I accompanied my grandfather to go to Hanuo to negotiate about the unfair distribution of mines. In the end, do you know how long they made me and my grandfather wait?
?”
Chai Yan frowned and looked at Sha Er Zidan seriously, and shook his head.
"Almost half an hour!" Sha'er Zidan said angrily: "If grandpa hadn't gotten angry at that time, the wait would have been even longer!"
After saying this, Sha'er Zidan's chest heaved hard twice, and then he said: "Forget it after waiting for so long, forget it without any explanation, but later my grandfather negotiated with Hanuo
At that time, his face and attitude seemed to have changed. How could he look like an old friend? Later, he rejected grandpa very harshly. It was really... Until now,
When I think of the face I had yesterday, I get angry!"
After saying that, Sha'er Zidan drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and asked Su Ni to fill it up for him again.
Seeing Sha'er Zidan drinking like this, Su Ni felt unhappy. Her strong side suddenly showed up, she put the wine jar out and said: "That's enough, no more drinking!"
"Su Ni, I'm not drunk, please drink some more!" Sha'er Zidan was angry and his chest felt tight, and he just wanted to drink to relieve his sorrow.
"No! You've already drunk enough. If you get drunk with me, your family will definitely not make it easy for me!" Su Ni refused, with a firm attitude.
Only then did Shaer Zidan realize that Su Ni would be affected, so he changed his face instantly, patted his forehead and said suddenly: "Yes, yes, yes, you are right to remind me, I can't get drunk, I must not get drunk!"
Su Ni's expression softened a little, and she stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chai, I'm going to get some honey water to relieve his hangover..."
"Then make me a bowl by the way. I'm a little drunk too." Chai Yan said with a smile.
"Okay, Mr. Chai, please wait a moment." After saying that, Su Ni went to the kitchen and carefully mixed the honey water.
At this time, Chai Yan asked: "Master Dan, if this continues, your family and other elders will suffer huge losses. Have you thought of any countermeasures?"
Sha'er Zidan nodded and replied: "Yes! After grandpa came back yesterday, he said that he would unite with other elders in the next few days, but he didn't know what the result would be..."
"Oh..." Chai Yan nodded in response, thinking thoughtfully.
