The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

Chapter 493: Sensitive and Delicate Shen Zhao

Shen Yuan and the others were shocked and looked at Master Lu.

Master Lu seemed to be lost in memories:

"That day, at night, two people came to my house. They were wearing black clothes and hats on their heads. There was a black scarf under the hat, so I couldn't tell who they were."

"I was shocked. I felt like they were not good people and they were so mysterious. But they were very powerful and I didn't dare to offend them, so I invited them in. But as soon as I entered the room, they threw out a gold ingot."

Speaking of this, Su Wanwan seemed to be worried.

Shen Yuan remained calm and silent as he listened to Master Lu continue talking.

"They wanted me to go with them, saying they had a job for me and that I would be well rewarded after the job was done."

When Master Lu thought of the gold, his heart ached.

At that time, he was dazzled by the gold and almost agreed.

"I didn't agree. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Those two people didn't even dare to show their faces. How could they be good people? So I politely refused."

Su Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought that if Master Lu disagreed, the other party would retaliate.

Everything is fine until now, it seems those people have no intention of silencing me or anything.

Yes, if they really wanted to silence someone, the noise would be too loud and might attract the authorities to investigate, which would be bad if it was exposed.

Although Su Wanwan didn't know what happened, she had a feeling that those people were up to no good.

"What's their accent?"

Shen Yuan was not surprised at all and continued to ask.

Master Lu thought about it carefully and shook his head:

"It's definitely not from our area. I can't tell where the accent is."

Seeing Shen Yuan deep in thought, Master Lu continued:

"Boss Shen, do you know something? Are those people not good people? Alas, I guess the people from the blacksmith shop in the county followed them. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."

He was quite worried.

If he is blessed, he will not be jealous. He is a cautious person.

If it's a disaster...

Master Lu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Master Lu, you did the right thing. It's always right to be cautious."

Shen Yuan naturally wouldn't say much, after all, he hadn't found out anything yet.

Su Wanwan also admired:

"Master Lu is unmoved by money, amazing."

Apart from anything else, that was gold. It was amazing that Master Lu was able to keep his composure and not follow them.

Master Lu felt a little embarrassed after being praised by her.

In fact, he was almost tempted.

"Okay, thank you, Master Lu. It's getting late, so we'll go back."

Shen Yuan stood up and prepared to leave.

Su Wanwan went to pay the bill, and when they reached the door, Shen Yuan suddenly turned back and said to Master Lu:

"Master Lu, if those people come again, please send someone to inform me if possible, but it is best to refuse. Please be careful."

After all, they are friends, Shen Yuan reminded him.

Master Lu still stopped as he watched their carriage go away.

Shen Yuan's words...

There was another chill behind me!

Those two people are definitely not good people!

Suddenly I felt like I was reborn.

On the way back in the carriage, Shen Yuan did not hide it from his wife and Shen Zhao and the others, and told them about his discovery today.

Shen Zhao pondered for a moment and said in surprise:

"There are mines in the Daxin Mountains! They might be iron mines! Who is so bold as to mine them privately?"

Su Wanwan also thought of this, but her mind was not as quick as Shen Zhao's, and it took her a long time to figure it out.

"So those caravans before the New Year were not caravans. They might have sneaked into the mining area?"

Shen Yuan nodded:

“That’s my guess as well.”

Shen Zhao frowned and asked:

"Brother, why don't you report this to the county magistrate? This way, the government can investigate."

He was very puzzled.

I always feel like my elder brother is hiding something from me.

Such a big thing is obviously not something that farmers like them can handle.

Even though my brother has served in the army and has a strong sense of responsibility, can a retired soldier like him take care of such a big thing?

"It's difficult to investigate. The government officials are useless. If they are not careful, they will alert the enemy."

Shen Yuan glanced at Shen Zhao. Shen Zhao was too sensitive. He felt that if he continued like this, he would not be able to cover up his identity.

Sure enough, Shen Zhao nodded, but there was still doubt in his eyes.

"That's right. I heard there are many ferocious beasts there, and there are even wolves coming down the mountain. If we let those yamen runners go there rashly, they will only sacrifice their lives in vain."

Su Wanwan responded and also looked at Shen Zhao.

Shen Zhao lowered his head.

You two are just fooling around, you just want to check it yourself first.

It's difficult for the yamen runners to investigate, but it's easier for you two to investigate. Wouldn't your sacrifice be in vain?

Thinking of this, Shen Zhao became even more worried.

My eldest brother and sister-in-law have never hidden anything from me at home and always treat me as an adult and a member of the family.

But he also knew that there were some dangerous things that his elder brother and sister-in-law did not want to get involved in.

Although he didn't know why they were concerned about the iron mine and wanted to investigate it himself, he didn't ask.

Just hope they're careful.

"Shen Zhao, don't think too much. Your elder brother and I have a plan in mind and will be careful. Just focus on your studies."

Su Wanwan just felt that this child was too mature. Shen Yuan only said a few words, so why did he doubt something?

Fortunately, Shen Zhao has always been a sensible child. Even if he had some guesses, he probably wouldn't ask too many questions.

Sometimes she even suspected that Shen Zhao might have known for a long time that Shen Yuan was not his biological brother.

"Sister-in-law, I know. I will study hard."

Shen Zhao put away his doubts, thinking he was overthinking.

No matter if they are hiding something from me or not, they are still my brother and sister-in-law.

They were good to him, and he had no way to repay them. He could only study hard and become the top scholar in the future to bring honor to the Shen family and support them.

"Well, brother and sister-in-law, no matter what you do, you must be careful. Let's talk about something happy. Sister-in-law, here are the banknotes I earned last month. They are all for you."

Shen Zhao took out a stack of banknotes from his backpack and stuffed it directly into Su Wanwan's hand.

Su Wanwan:.......

Well, the money is increasing.

Shen Zhao was also an expert at making money, and he made Journey to the West extremely popular.

When they returned home, Xiao Yue'er and Shen Yunyi were already waiting for them.

As expected, the two little guys had eaten in the workshop and completed the homework assigned by the teacher.

Aunt Huang stayed at home with them. Only when she saw her masters come back did she go to the workshop.

"Mom, in today's math class, I used the method you taught me and beat all my classmates."

Yun Yi did a quick calculation in the school today and stunned the teacher. He is still feeling excited now.
