Chapter 663: Deceiving His Son
Uncle Yin tilted his head slightly and gave him a sharp look, which frightened General Zaga so much that he trembled.
He saw Uncle Yin's profile. Yes, it was exactly the same as before, both in appearance and majesty.
"Military Commander Zaga, have you completed all the tasks that Miss Shui assigned to you these days?" Uncle Yin asked slowly.
"Everything was completed smoothly and everything went in an orderly manner. Miss Shui is also satisfied." Military Commander Zaga said, looking at Qiao Jianer ingratiatingly.
"Very good, keep it up. I need to rest and cultivate my mind now, so I can't come out to guide you often. Just listen to Miss Shui's instructions."
"Yes Yes."
Commander Zaga looked respectful, but cold sweat rolled down his back.
He was sure that the original Uncle Yin was dead, and now there was a new Uncle Yin, who was no different except for his attitude towards Miss Shui.
This is so terrifying and unbelievable.
How did the water girl do it?
Night had fallen by then, and the newly excavated stones were moved into the warehouse. Qiao Lianer went down to identify the goods.
The adjutant was registering on the side, and Military Governor Zaga followed behind him, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Just tell me what you want to say, Commander-in-Chief." Qiao Jianer stopped and said.
"Miss Shui is like this. When Sang Kun arrives tomorrow, he will definitely not want to see it. Since his uncle listens to you, he might make a fuss." said the military commander Zaga.
He now has an extra mine and earns more than before. Besides, Miss Shui is actually a nice person. Unlike Uncle Yin who always puts pressure on him and covets his mine like a poisonous snake, he hopes the situation will always be like this.
People are most concerned about their own interests. As long as their interests are not harmed or as long as they can get more, no one will go against the current situation.
"I understand your concerns, but you have to believe that Uncle Yin is very adaptable. In front of his son, he is of course no different from before."
She went to Uncle Yin's warehouse area every day to identify stones. Although it was always at night, someone would always notice her. But this was understandable because Uncle Yin needed her identification skills.
Early the next morning, Sang Kun arrived with a cavalry team and arrived at the warehouse area in a swift and decisive manner.
Like most people in Puchen, Sangkun has a dark complexion and is about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He is a younger version of Uncle Yin.
He dismounted, went to take a look at the stones, asked the soldiers a few questions, and then went back into the stilt house.
"Father." He subconsciously looked for him as he entered, because he heard that his father had not appeared for a long time.
But he soon saw that Uncle Yin was sitting cross-legged facing the inner wall, with a transparent screen behind him, and tea mist rising in front of him.
It is still as solemn and majestic, but with an added sense of mystery compared to before.
Thinking of the rumors during this period, Sang Kun walked around the screen to take a look at the real person.
Uncle Yin is almost fifty years old. He has some scattered white hair on his head, wears a white robe, and twirls Buddhist beads in his hands. Each bead is engraved with Naga Buddha.
Sang Kun was filled with awe and relieved, but he still had doubts in his heart.
Uncle Yin seemed to be resting with his eyes closed: "Sang Kun, you are here. Why are you here so soon this time?"
"Father, I heard some bad rumors." Sang Kun sat on the futon at the side and looked at Uncle Yin.
"Some people say they haven't seen you in a while. You used to receive caravans and handle various affairs every day, but now it's all handed over to your adjutant. Although Yaang is trustworthy, he is an outsider after all. You can't entrust him with everything like this."
"Father, is there something wrong with your body?"
Uncle Yin seemed to have a smile on his face: "Silly child, what are you thinking about? Look at my whole body, where is there anything wrong? I am even more energetic than before."
"But father, why did you—"
"You mean I'm lazy." Uncle Yin's attitude towards his own children was full of the kindness of an elder, just as before.
"I haven't told you yet, I'm practicing cultivation. Our family's wealth is so vast that even if we worked hard for several lifetimes, we wouldn't be able to spend it all. To me, money is no longer the most important thing. What really matters is the long-term prosperity of our family, and the health and happiness of everyone in it."
"So I need to practice. I meditate for eight hours every day, and rest the rest of the time. I'm connected to the Naga Buddha, and every day I receive a little divine blessing from him, which I comprehend and digest. Only in this way can I gradually cultivate to become a Buddha and better protect my family."
"My child, I do this for the sake of my family's longevity. You must not question it again, lest you blaspheme the Naga Buddha."
Sang Kun was stunned when he heard this.
"So these mines—"
"You think I won't even take a look? Don't worry, I have spies and trusted informants, so no one dares to do anything."
"Son, you should believe in your father's ability."
Sang Kun was filled with awe.
"I have always believed in my father. He is like a demigod to me. Since he has made this decision and it does not affect the operation of the mine, I support him."
He had been rushing here feeling uneasy, fearing that something might have happened or that someone had seized power.
Now seeing Uncle Yin's calm demeanor, as if everything was under control, Sang Kun felt that he was worrying too much.
But to be on the safe side, he still looked at the account books for this period and various specific matters. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the profits even increased significantly, which was surprising.
Sangkun did not leave immediately. He planned to stay for two more days. His own mining area was also very busy and he could not come here all the time.
Uncle Yin took some time out to eat and chat with his son, and spent the rest of the time meditating, letting Sangkun do whatever he wanted.
At night, Sangkun saw a young woman coming to the warehouse area. She was wearing a veil and her face could not be seen clearly. She was identifying the stones. Adjutant Yaang registered them while having people move the stones to the corresponding warehouse compartment.
"Father, is this woman the expert who came specifically to appraise your warehouse?"
"Yes, Miss Shui is from Daze Country and has only been here for a short time, so I asked my adjutant to keep an eye on her."
"Is she so powerful that you don't even need other appraisers?"
"To see if she's any good, you can just go and check a few stones. The appraisers are all at the mine. Let them do a preliminary appraisal."
Sang Kun got down from the stilt house and looked at it silently for a while. When Qiao Jianer just identified two stones, he asked someone to cut the stones open.
The woman stopped and remained very quiet.
"Miss Shui, don't think too much. This is the first time I see you, and I want to experience your skills."
Qiao Jianer said, "Master Sangkun, I accept all inspections."
The two stones were cut in half. Sang Kun took the lamp in his subordinate's hand and shone it over. One stone was worth one thousand taels, and the other was worth three thousand taels, exactly the same as what the water girl said.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. There was such a genius in this world.
"Sang Kun, don't be rude." Uncle Yin walked down from the stilt house with a frown on his face, clearly a little unhappy.
