Superpower Farming: I Raised a Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Villain

Chapter 231
The other two women who were fetching water with her came back from the outside with buckets and happened to run into Ning Yue.

When they saw Ning Yue, they were all smiles.

"Are you tired from working at night recently? Why don't you go to rest at this time?"

The shortest woman among the three of them put down the bucket with difficulty, trotted up to Ning Yue, pulled up her sleeve and asked while shaking.

"I'm fine. You follow Sister Jiang and work hard. In a few days, I'll ask someone to dig a well for you in the courtyard, so you don't have to go to fetch water."

Ning Yue briefly chatted with them, and left the yard to check the mine in the mountain behind.

Stand at the mouth of the first mine.

There was a knocking sound from inside.

There are no bandits guarding around.

The people working in the mine were very conscious, and no one ran out indiscriminately.

These people are very honest.

As long as they can give them a bite to eat, they are willing to work hard.

Their requirements are so low.

Ning Yue walked in, and saw the middle-aged men in the mine enthusiastically waving their hammers and picks, mining the walls of the cave, and then putting the mined silver into the bamboo basket in front of them.

After it is full, pick up the bamboo basket with a pole on your shoulders, and transport the mined silver to the designated space in the cave.

Among them, a steward newly appointed by Hei Xiong walked up to Ning Yue and greeted her, "Hello, boss."

The other party greeted Ning Yue honestly.

"Don't pay attention to me, you are busy with your work."

Ning Yue waved her hand, telling the new manager to get busy.

Inspecting the two mines, Ning Yue wandered around the mountain for a long time, then returned to the meeting room of the cottage, took out a charcoal pencil and white paper from the space, and wrote down the overall plan for the mountain.

She will talk to the newly appointed magistrate of Yonghe County about how to deal with the silver mine on this mountain.

However, she will not give away the ownership of this mountain easily.

If the newly appointed magistrate of Yonghe wants it, he must exchange other things with her.

There is no reason to give away what you get.

When Ning Yue was working, Xiao Ruofeng walked in coldly.

There was no emotion on his cold face.

He walked up to Ning Yue, pulled a chair from the side and sat down.

Ning Yue wrote the last line, put down the charcoal in her hand, raised her head, the corner of her mouth almost rubbed against Xiao Ruofeng's lower lip.

Her complexion changed.

The familiar faint smell of Chinese medicine surrounded her breath.

"Say something quickly, don't get so close to me."

Ning Yue moved her body back to put some distance away from him.

Xiao Ruofeng's eyes were dark and unpredictable.

Looking at her is like a sharp edge.

Ning Yue has no way to hide.

She was very unaccustomed to his gaze, and felt that it could burn her and melt her away.

"The person behind them is Ning Zhizhou of Ninghe Prefecture."

Xiao Ruofeng told Ning Yue the result of Hei Xiong's interrogation of the cottage owner.

Ning Zhizhou?
How could this be?
But Ning Yue remembered that in the book she transmigrated, Ning Zhizhou, the adoptive father of the original owner, was the father-in-law of the third prince. At the end of the book, the third prince ascended to the throne, Ning Dingzhu became the queen, and Ning Zhizhou Became a famous figure of a generation.

However, now it was discovered that Ning Zhizhou had colluded with bandits and embezzled the silver mines of Dashang.

This is something not mentioned in the book.

It seems that Ning Zhizhou was also a corrupt official before he became famous.

Xiao Ruofeng saw Ning Yue's dumbfounded expression.

Thought she felt intimidated.

"This Ning Zhizhou is just a small official, but he doesn't have such great strength to turn private mines into legal silver. There should be other people behind him to support him."

Xiao Ruofeng expressed his speculation.

Of course, her cheap adoptive father doesn't have such great rights.

However, when he acted in the name of the third prince and noble concubine, things were different.

I believe that he must be surrounded by a lot of people who want to cling to the third prince and concubine's school of mercenary people.

When these people gather together, their strength is not ordinary.

It also has the ability to turn private mines into legal channels.

Thinking of this, Ning Yue sneered.

If the original owner hadn't got a marriage contract with the third prince, and Ning Zhizhou's family had the ambition to climb up, the original owner would not have been killed.

Thinking of this, Ning Yue felt inexplicably uncomfortable and angry, she knew that this was not her real emotion.

This is left by the original owner.

Before, she had helped the original owner to teach the real daughter Ning Dingzhu who killed her.

If these people behind her don't hinder her in the future, she doesn't want to take care of them anymore.

She just wanted to stay away from the protagonist and others in this book.

Just live your own life.

"Let's ignore that for now. From now on, the cooperation between the silver mine produced by this mountain and Ning Zhizhou will be suspended, and we will no longer pay attention to the people on their side."

Ning Yue raised her eyes and said to the black bear who had just stepped into the door.

Xiao Ruofeng followed her gaze to the door, he stared at the black bear with a murderous look.

After hearing Ning Yue's order, the tall man strode into the hall.

He smiled and said, "The owner's decision is good, and the silver mined from this mountain will be ours in the future."

He tried his best to ignore the murderous aura coming from Xiao Ruofeng.

"No, we don't keep the silver you mined, and give it to the magistrate of Yonghe County for his disposal."

Ning Yue's words not only shocked Hei Xiong, but also shocked Xiao Ruofeng.

Doesn't she like silver very much?

How can you easily give something you get to someone else?

It's puzzling.

The black bear standing below was also full of doubts.

If you don't cooperate with the government, these silver mines are of course your own.

How can the owner hand over to others.

"The big tree attracts the wind, not to mention the two mines. Once we choose not to cooperate with those people in Ning Zhizhou, they will definitely try to get this mountain by any means. In this case, let's find a backer. In this way, Those people dare not act rashly, and they are only jealous."

After all, it is a silver mine, with such a huge profit, how can those people be willing to have their pockets stolen?

However, it would be different if they found Yonghe county magistrate to cooperate.

Above the magistrate of Yonghe County, there is also the prefect of Daming Prefecture. The prefect is one level higher than the magistrate. In this way, Ning Zhizhou has nothing to do with her and the mountain.

"Hey, my boss is still smart."

Hei Xiong cast his eyes on Ning Yue in admiration.

Xiao Ruofeng saw Hei Xiong's fiery eyes staring at Ning Yue's face all the time, and an uncomfortable feeling rose in his heart.

"It's okay, you go out to work."

With a cold attitude, Xiao Ruofeng drove the black bear out.

"and many more."

Before the black bear could move, it was stopped by Ning Yue.

Black Bear was surprised.

"Is there anything the boss needs to order?"

He is always at his beck and call.
