Chapter 1577: Chapter 1577: Is this... happiness?

You must know, unauthorized mining is a capital offense; who would dare rush to their deaths? It’s not like they are tired of living.

"We have not started mining,"

Sui Zimo naturally understood the meaning in her words and explained.

"The governor of Weifeng City is also a cautious man, aside from procuring some blue jade for his family, he hasn’t done anything too outrageous.

Of course, the lavish spending of the governor’s large family naturally comes from squeezing out resources from that blue jade mine. Thanks to this mine, the governor’s family has never been shy about splurging outside."

"Heh."

Lin Caisang snorted with laughter.

This was essentially the same thing, which shows what kind of person the governor of Weifeng City was.

"How did you come to know of this, Brother Molian?"

She looked at Sui Zimo and asked.

How could the governor of Weifeng City, who kept the blue jade mine such a tight secret, let it be so easily discovered by others?

If he were that careless, wouldn’t he have been exposed to the emperor long ago?

"If he wants to do business, naturally there has to be a source," Sui Zimo replied calmly.

Lin Caisang: "..."

So, the source of that blue jade is all with her Molian here, right?

"Then am I not cutting off your source of income here? This... isn’t that inappropriate?"

She grumbled to him unenthusiastically.

This governor really plays both sides, doesn’t he? Probably he knows that the Nine Lotus Hall isn’t a force of the Liang Kingdom?

He must be betting on the fact that the people of the Nine Lotus Hall wouldn’t snitch to the emperor of Liang, which emboldens him to brazenly sell the blue jade outside!

"Rather than letting others profit, it’s better to honor my Sang’er, isn’t this idea a good one?" Sui Zimo’s dark eyes held a smile as he posed the question back to her.

"Good? How could I say it’s not?"

Lin Caisang nodded with a smile, nothing could be better than this. As for the governor, monopolizing the wealth of Liang Kingdom for himself, how could such a person be worthy of being a protector of a region?

"After this task is finished, we’ll deal with that guy when we get back,"

she said to Sui Zimo.

"Mm."

Sui Zimo agreed.

While they were talking, the carriage came to a stop.

"Have we arrived?"

Lin Caisang raised her eyebrows and turned to see Yun Bai already lifting the carriage curtain.

"Miss, young master, we have arrived."

"They’re here, they’re finally here."

"City Lord, I knew Yun Bai and Yun Ceng were capable children. Look, they’ve finally brought the people from the Wuzhu Teahouse."

"Our Yun City is finally saved."

As Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo disembarked from the carriage, they were startled by the scene before them.

They saw crowds surrounding them in layers so thick they could take all their air away; it almost bamboozled her.

"What is... what’s going on?"

She involuntarily stepped back and moved closer to Sui Zimo.

"Why are there so many people? Are they... happy?"

She looked at the faces of the people, each brimming with excitement and joy.

Shouldn’t these people be worn out from hunger, weakly wailing at her? Why was she seeing excitement instead?

Well, alright then.

She felt it was better this way; if she were faced with mass despair, she wouldn’t know how to react.

"Miss, young master, please don’t mind it. Ever since Yun Ceng and I left, the people in the city have been looking forward to your arrival. They are happy because they feel there is hope now,"
