Chapter 1233 - 1231: Taking the Bait

Chapter 1233: Chapter 1231: Taking the Bait

Wang Hao quickly learned the news from his trusted servant; it was all true. Whether it was Little Fatty Zhu or his friend’s brother Niu Rong, it was all true.

What unsettled Wang Hao was that two-faced bastard Little Fatty Zhu actually went to find that rival of his, Wei Yangbin, and wanted to connect with the Wei family along with his friend.

Absolutely infuriating! Wei Yangbin’s mother being a princess, he always lorded over him. The previous incident with the Oiran was proof of it, where he and his lackeys made a mockery out of him.

If Little Fatty Zhu’s friend’s Silver Mine ended up in Wei Yangbin’s hands, that brat would have both Silver and power. Wouldn’t he have to walk around him then?

That can’t happen!

Wang Hao couldn’t just watch that Silver Mine slip away, so he rushed to Little Fatty Zhu’s house and berated him for being untrustworthy and not a true friend, leaving Little Fatty Zhu dumbfounded.

"Sixth Master, my friend can’t wait any longer. The mine is already excavated. Without a strong backer, how could we manage?" Little Fatty Zhu said, "You’re my benefactor, I didn’t want you to take the risk!"

"Bah! You call me a friend and don’t think of me when there’s something good?" Wang Hao snorted coldly and said, "I’m the emperor’s brother-in-law, am I any less than that brat Wei Yangbin? I am his elder! Enough talk, take me to see this mine. I’ll take it to the Emperor, and it’s the same thing!" Whether he actually would, who knew!

"This..."

Wang Hao squinted his eyes and said, "What, you don’t trust me?"

"Of course not, shall we go now?" Little Fatty Zhu replied.

"Let’s go!"

A group of them left Changan City and headed straight for Lin Family Village.

Wang Hao saw the village was hidden and eerily quiet, which aroused his suspicion.

Niu Rong chuckled and said, "I used a little trick and made it seem like there was a plague here. They got scared and moved away, otherwise, it would be too difficult to keep the secret with so much noise."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao eyed him and said, "You businessmen, always so cunning, your minds are tied in a hundred knots."

"Well said, well said!" Niu Rong laughed slyly.

As they walked into the back mountains through an extremely concealed path, Wang Hao was almost convinced. Such secrecy, if not led here, who could know there was a mine?

Shouts could be heard, and shadows flitted around, making Wang Hao’s heart race.

Upon entering the mine, indeed, there were eight or ten men busying around, next to them were several smelting furnaces, with one or two baskets of shiny Silver placed nearby. Moreover, the mine...

Wang Hao stepped forward quickly and asked excitedly, "Is that Silver?"

Heaven! It was his first time seeing a Silver Mine, a mountain of Silver. This small hilltop could probably yield a lot of Silver.

At this moment, Wang Hao didn’t know that more than half of this hilltop had already been taken away; the remaining portion would probably not yield much Silver.

"Sixth Master, look at this quality," Little Fatty Zhu said, lowering his voice as he pulled him to the basket, "Everyone here is with Niu Rong. Businessmen are deceitful; it’s good to have your trusted men keep watch."

Wang Hao narrowed his eyes, noticing how respectful those people were to Niu Rong, which made him uncomfortable, as though his belongings were being taken by others.

"You’re right!"

Little Fatty Zhu, along with him and Niu Rong, explored the Silver Mine, explaining the entire process of how to launder the Silver and how to transport it out, making sure Wang Hao understood and felt assured.

Why wouldn’t Wang Hao feel assured? Just put it in the gambling house, and black turns to white, easy as pie.

Little Fatty Zhu and Niu Rong looked at Wang Hao’s smiling face, exchanged glances with each other, and their eyes brimmed with sinister amusement.
