Chapter 1046: The Stall Owner Repays the Money
Translator: Lonelytree
According to Little Green, jades with spiritual energy would need to absorb the essence of the sun, moon, and heaven for many years to gather so spiritual energy.
However, this could only be achieved with the right timing and geography. Otherwise, every piece of jade might have spiritual energy.
Therefore, she had to find the Dlace where this Diece of erald was from. She might have an unexpected harvest.
After hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, other than Jiang Zhennan, who had so vague guesses, the other two looked at Lin Yuelan suspiciously. They obviously didn’t believe her.
Of course, Lin Yuelan had her own motives for doing things. She didn’t have to explain it to them clearly.
Ding Dashan nodded suspiciously. ” In that case, I promise to take you to that place. However, when are we leaving?”
Lin Yuelan said decisively, ” Tomorrow! Is it far? Should I prepare sothing?”
Ding Dashan said, ” It’s not too far away. The rivers and mountains around South Cloud City are all open fields for raw stones. Of course, I can’t go to those places to pick up stones. I’ll go to a more remote place. It’s more difficult to enter and exit. You…” He didn’t finish the sentence. In fact, he was asking, can you bear that kind of fatigue?
Lin Yuelan understood what he ant. She said, ” Don’t worry. I’m not a delicate young miss.”
Ding Dashan nodded and said, ” Alright then. We may be going out for a day tomorrow. Just prepare so dry rations, and we can return on the sa day! ‘
He still had a family to take care of. He could not leave too far away for too long, so he could only look for raw stones near the city.
Li Fazhi looked at Ding Dashan suspiciously.
Although it was possible that every stone in South Cloud City contained jade, the raw stones that could hide jade were usually in the mountains or rivers.
Therefore, those places were taken in and developed by rchants. Once an ordinary person broke in, they would be sent to the governnt, punished with a few sticks, fined, or even imprisoned for a period of ti. These were things done by the kind-hearted rchants. As for the vicious rchants, as long as they caught anyone picking up stones in their own place, they would be killed. They might even implicate their entire family.
Therefore, those ordinary people really did not dare to casually barge into those places.
Therefore, he did not quite understand where Ding Dashan would go to pick up stones.
After Lin Yuelan and the other three had dinner in the restaurant, they left the restaurant and went back to their respective places.
Before they parted ways, Ding Dashan carefully hid the 40,000 taels of silver notes in his hands so that no one would notice them. He left quickly after. Naturally, Lin Yuelan and the other two returned to the Li family’s courtyard.
In the dead of night, in the pitch-black darkness…
Outside the Li family’s courtyard, there were more than a dozen people standing stealthily.
Oh no, it wasn’t sneaky. Instead, they lit torches and rode tall horses.
One of the brawny n, who seed to be the leader, carried a large knife on his shoulder. He had a beard and a pair of vicious eyes.
He asked a smaller man beside him loudly, ” Xiao Ba, are you sure it’s this one?
Xiao Ba said with certainty, ” Big Brother, this is the one. Ever since the girl took out the erald from the black stone, our brothers had been following them. Later, they were blocked by a man with a bruised face and went to the restaurant. A few of my subordinates and I kept an eye on the entrance of the restaurant until they ca out and followed them here!” That’s right.
These sixteen people were the horse bandits nearby.
The so-called horse bandits were those who robbed, killed, set fire, raped, killed, and plundered on horseback. They committed all kinds of cris, making people hate them very much.
The officials of South Cloud City had been dispatched several tis, but they had not been able to capture them.
Their movents were too fast. After robbing the things and killing the people, they imdiately rode away.
What they were after was not money but also good stones!
Xiao Ba among them had a hobby, which was stone gambling.
This ti, when he was shopping, he happened to see Lin Yuelan casually buy a stone and produce an erald. His eyes imdiately lit up.
He first tried to ask Lin Yuelan if she would sell it and offered 500,000 taels of silver. In the end, Lin Yuelan said she wouldn’t sell it.
However, Xiao Ba was determined.
Since they couldn’t do it openly, they would do it secretly.
He sent soone to inform Boss first. Then, he brought two subordinates to follow Lin Yuelan and find out where they lived so that they could make their move at night.
They arrived at the Li family’s courtyard..
