Chapter 119 Empty the treasures of corrupt officials

Zhou Yue found several more account books in the secret room, which recorded the amount of iron ore mining and the manufacturing of weapons. Zhou Yue took a cursory look and found that Mr. Qin had been greedy for a lot of money.

"Heh, he's still a corrupt official, no wonder he's collaborating with treacherous ministers." Zhou Yue sighed softly.

Opening those big boxes, they were full of gold and silver jewelry, banknotes and silver coins, and some gold ingots.

"Get rich!" Zhou Yue exclaimed, and put all the boxes into the space.

After looting all the valuables in the secret room, Zhou Yue left the secret room contentedly.

Back in the back mountain, everyone in the wolf army was loading slag into the carriages. Nine carts had already been loaded, and the speed was quite fast.

"Fourth Young Master, you are back!" Lin Shangwu felt relieved when he saw Zhou Yue coming back.

Zhou Yue nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, I will treat you to a big meal when I go back!"

She just got a windfall, and Zhou Yue is in a great mood at this time. It is quite expensive to support so many people. It would be nice to meet a few more corrupt officials like this.

"Okay! Brothers, let's work harder and strive to go back as soon as possible and eat the big meal invited by the fourth son!" Lin Shangwu said to the wolf army.

"Haha, good!" Pan Shan said with a smile, working more vigorously.

All fifteen carriages were filled with slag. Zhou Yue looked at the sky and found that it was still early enough to leave.

The carriage stopped in front of Lord Qin's door, and Zhou Yue asked the guards to take her to find Lord Qin and his companions.

Before entering the door, he heard the voice of calling brothers and sisters from inside. Lord Qin called Wang Zheng one brother at a time, with a strong smell of alcohol in his tone.

It seems that these two people drink very well, they are called brothers, Zhou Yue thought to herself.

Walking in, Zhou Yue saluted Wang Zheng, "Lord Xiao, we have finished loading the slag, and we can start our journey."

When Wang Zheng saw Zhou Yue approaching, he knew that the matter was over, and quickly said to Mr. Qin, "Brother Qin, younger brother, I still have a task to do, so I will take my leave first. Let's meet again when we have a chance!"

"Okay, brother, go ahead, if it's not enough, come and ask me for it!" Master Qin said with a red face, reeking of alcohol.

"Then I'm leaving, brother, take care." Wang Zheng got up after finishing speaking, and left with Zhou Yue.

Mr. Qin stumbled to his feet and was supported by his servants to the door. He seemed to be drunk.

Wang Zheng got on the carriage and said goodbye to him again, "Brother Qin, go back quickly! My younger brother is about to set off!"

Lord Qin shook his head and nodded, "Okay, brother, have a good journey!"

The carriage set off, and the team moved forward slowly. Looking at the motorcade getting further and further away, until it was completely invisible, Mr. Qin stood up straight and his smile disappeared.

"Oh, young man, you're still young!" Lord Qin said with a sullen face.

Zhou Yue and his party drove the carriage and walked quickly towards the direction of Hai'an County.

Unexpectedly, he walked out of the scope of the mine, Wang Zheng said to Zhou Yue: "Fourth Young Master, this Lord Qin is really an old fox, with a lot of eyes and a thick skin!"

"Haha, you're not bad, I heard you two talked very well!" Zhou Yue said with a smile.

Wang Zheng was taken aback for a moment, his face full of doubts, the fourth son heard their conversation?When did this happen?
Zhou Yue did not explain to Wang Zheng, but said: "You should sleep in the carriage for a while. You have drunk a lot. There is no danger here. Take a rest and sober up."

Wang Zheng nodded, "Okay, then I'll go to sleep for a while, and you can call me if you need anything!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Zheng lay down on the carriage and fell asleep slowly.

When the convoy arrived at Hai'an County, it was already dark. Zhou Yue estimated the time and decided not to stop here, but drove directly to Haiping County overnight.

I bought some steamed stuffed buns in the county town and distributed them to everyone. While driving the carriage, I ate while saving time.

Zhou Yue walked at the front with a torch in hand to lead the way. By the time they walked back to Datong Village, everyone in the village had already fallen asleep.

Hearing the sound of the carriage, the night watchman stood up at once, holding a torch and looking this way.

"Brother Zhuzi, we are the ones who are back!" Zhou Yue said.

Knowing that it was Zhou Yue and the others, Zhu Zi felt relieved and hurried over to help.

Zhou Yue asked them to pour the slag over the limestone and clay, and then asked everyone to rest quickly.

After finishing all this work, Zhou Yue also returned to her ox cart, entered the space to wash and sleep.

When she woke up the next day, it was already bright daylight. As soon as Zhou Yue got out of the ox cart, she saw Qian Guilan leading the women in the village to sew tents.

"Mom." Zhou Yue came over and called.

Qian Guilan looked up and said, "Yueyue is awake. There is still rice in the pot. Go and eat the rice first. It's still hot!"

Zhou Yue nodded and went to have breakfast first.

After breakfast, Zhou Yue looked around and found that the brick kiln had been built, and there was a lot of wood over there. It seems that everyone worked very hard yesterday.

Seeing Zhou Yue approaching, Zhou Lin quickly said, "Yueyue, this brick kiln has been built, can you see if there is any room for improvement?"

Zhou Yue looked at it carefully and nodded, "They are all built according to the drawings. They are well covered and can be used after drying."

"Great!" Zhou Lin was excited and could make bricks by himself soon.

"Has the brick and tile mold over there been ready, cousin?" Zhou Yue asked.

Zhou Lin nodded, "It's ready, he delivered it yesterday, and I heard that it's making display racks for the jewelry store now!"

"I'll go over there to have a look!" After Zhou Yue finished speaking, she walked towards her uncle's house.

As soon as he got closer, he saw Qian Changyuan and several people making display racks, some were planing wood, some were punching holes, and some were assembling.

"Big cousin!" Zhou Yue shouted.

Qian Changyuan raised his head and saw Zhou Yue, "Yueyue is here, the brick molds are ready, I sent them to Zhou Lin yesterday."

Zhou Yue nodded, "I already know, my elder brother told me just now."

"Here, big cousin, can you understand this blueprint?" Zhou Yue took out a blueprint from her arms and handed it to Qian Changyuan.

Qian Changyuan took the drawing and looked at it carefully, "Is this a pipe mold?"

"That's right! It's just a pipe mold. Can you make it, cousin? This is needed urgently." Zhou Yue asked.

Qian Changyuan nodded, "No problem, this is not complicated. I will lead them to make this first. After it is done, should I hand it over to Zhou Lin?"

"Yes, just leave it to my elder brother, thank you cousin!" Zhou Yue nodded.

"The family said it was hard work or hard work. We are doing this for the good of the village. We can build the house early so that everyone will have a place to live!" Qian Changyuan said. He also hopes that everyone can live in the new house.

"Don't worry, big cousin, you will definitely live in the best house!" Zhou Yue said confidently.
