Chapter 657 You and I will directly seize the mountain and seize the approval document
Uncle Yin laughed out loud. The reason why he sought the support of other warlords was to put pressure on Miss Shui together. Of course, he would have to take the biggest share.
After waiting for a while, several soldiers were brought here.
The bodies of the uncle and aunt were not cleaned up. Blood was all over the ground, soaking half of the yard. The aunt's head was missing, which was even more horrifying.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers were so scared that their legs went weak.
"You've seen their end. Answer whatever you're asked. Don't try to deceive Uncle Yin, or you'll die."
Compared to before, Military Commander Zaga's attitude became more positive.
The soldier struggled for a moment and could only nod.
"We have found out that there are many good stones buried on the mountain of Water Girl. That's where she hid these stones." said Uncle Yin's adjutant.
The soldiers looked a little confused. They didn't even know that there were good things in the mountains. They were troops from Dawa and had never been stationed in a mining area before. They lacked experience in this area.
When they arrived here, they were ridiculed for guarding these worthless hills. They had already tacitly accepted in their hearts that no good ores could be mined from the Water Girl's hills.
Observing the expressions of these soldiers, Uncle Yin had a bad feeling in his heart.
One of the soldiers said, "The stones are all in the warehouse area. There's a separate area for the most valuable stones. Miss Shui wouldn't put stones in the stilt house. That's all we know."
Uncle Yin's expression became gloomy again.
It was now basically confirmed that those hilltops were valuable, but where had all the valuable stones gone? This was the most crucial question.
When the soldiers returned, Uncle Yin sat down without saying a word.
"Uncle Yin, what are you worried about? This matter is not easy to handle." Military Commander Zaga said with a smile, "You and I will each send an army to directly seize the mountain. Then we can take the approval document and change your name on it. Then we will be done."
"That's too simple," Uncle Yin said. "To prevent warlords from fighting over the mines, the approval documents have anti-counterfeiting measures, and the chief manager has also kept records of them. They can't be altered at will. Otherwise, the higher-ups will hold them accountable. So, valuable mines can only be shared with a portion of the profits, or actually controlled, rather than openly owned."
"Of course I know this. It's just that this place is 500 miles away from Dawa. It's just a little girl's mountain. She has no influence in Puchen Country. What can she do even if she takes it away directly?"
Uncle Yin tapped his fingers on the armrest as he thought. Although he was cruel and cold-blooded, he was also a cautious person. He had never done anything like directly seizing the mountain.
Currently, he owns twelve mines in Kachin territory, but in reality there are eighteen. The other six originally belonged to other warlords and wealthy businessmen, and he is the actual controller.
"If we don't get the approval documents, it means that those hilltops are still in the hands of the water girl, but we are the ones who dig the hilltops and sell the stones. Those annoying residents are actually working for us." said Military Governor Zaga.
"Those petty warlords would obediently hand over control once Uncle Yin put pressure on them, and Uncle Yin would even be kind enough to share some benefits with them. But this girl is obviously disobedient. There's no need to waste time with her. Just snatch her away and don't even bother giving her any benefits."
Uncle Yin looked at Military Commander Zaga with a meaningful smile on his face.
"Military Commander Zaga, you were so reluctant before, even wanting to sleep in my living room, but now you're so eager. It seems like only a real treasure can attract you."
Military Commander Zaga also smiled and waved his hand: "There's a saying in Middle-earth, 'Birds die for food, and people die for money.' Since there are treasures on Miss Shui's hilltop, I'm naturally eager to go there too."
"Uncle Yin, if we act together, there's no need for the other warlords to come and divide the profits. After we're done, you take 70% and I take 30%. How about that?"
Uncle Yin said slowly, "You're wrong. I get eight and you get two. You're just playing a supporting role, so you can't get that much."
Zaga's face darkened inadvertently, but he immediately put on a smile again: "Okay, I'm not greedy, 20% will be fine. But Uncle Yin, when are we going to act?"
Uncle Yin thought for a moment and said, "I have to do something first. Before that, you must not make any moves."
If that girl really has the blessing of Naga Buddha, she must be taken care of so that the next things can proceed smoothly.
As for how to deal with it, Uncle Yin thought of inviting the most famous wizard in the country of Puchen to perform a ritual to make Naga Buddha abandon the girl.
Qiao Jianer is now with Boss Zuo. She doesn't know yet that her mine has been divided up by Uncle Yin and Military Governor Zaga, and even their respective shares have been determined.
Captain Tang just came back. As she guessed, the rainy season came early in one area and the mountain road collapsed, trapping them. As for Captain Li and Captain Fang, they took another route.
It was not until today that Qiao Jian'er was invited into Boss Zuo's real mansion, a grand four-courtyard compound with a large garden. As soon as she entered, the unrelated detection tools in the space began to buzz and vibrate non-stop. After a quiet scan, she found that there was a large basement under the courtyard, filled with stones worth more than three thousand taels.
She said that Boss Zuo knew so many powerful gambling stone families, so how could he only have a small stall? It was just that in a place like Beijing, making too much money could easily bring disaster.
Boss Zuo saw the goods brought back by Captain Tang and immediately decided to invite Miss Chen to his house for a detailed discussion.
"Ms. Chen, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Actually, not many people here know about this. Now that our cooperation is becoming more and more stable, it is inevitable for you to come and visit. But you have to keep it confidential." Boss Zuo said earnestly.
This is his way of showing his sincerity, and he hopes to be able to cooperate with such a master forever.
"You know, when the imperial court is in trouble, the interests of the nobles will not be affected. They always keep their eyes on us merchants, cough."
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in revealing other people's secrets." Qiao Lianer said.
Enter the hall, sit down and have tea.
"I've looked at this batch of goods." Boss Zuo gave Qiao Jian'er a thumbs-up. "Everything they cut is good. Miss Shui is amazing. Her judgment is so precise."
"The goods have been put into the backyard warehouse. Cut them up and see the price. We will immediately split the bill 50-50. After two days of rest, the caravan will go directly to the mine of Miss Shui to get the goods."
"Let's go." Qiao Lian'er stood up. She came here to ask for money and didn't want to talk too much.
Boss Zuo immediately invited her to the warehouse, where the newly delivered stones had piled up into a small hill. There were about 300 stones, with a value between 3,000 and 8,000 taels, coming from ten mining areas. On the other side were more waste materials used to fill the numbers at the gambling stone stalls.
Qiao Jianer's judgment was the same as after cutting. Cutting stone takes manpower and time. After randomly verifying more than 20 pieces, there was almost no deviation. Boss Zuo raised his hand to stop, suppressing his admiration and disbelief.
"Miss Chen, just tell me how much you should be paid."
