Chapter 05

Xie Jing Shen closed his eyes. "It seems after all. It's indeed good. That I came here. Looks like there is going to be a good show."

His opened again. Xie Jing Shen looked at the wine cup in his hand and said for his subordinate.

"Find out if any other parties are present. Find out about the remaining forces of the third prince that are hiding."

His subordinate Lan Wu, came forward. "Master means there are other forces that are hiding which are not discovered by the magistrate yet?"

Xie Jing Shen only smirked. "Third prince is cunning. Most of his forces are hiding. Only few are showing their heads."

Lan Wu saluted. "Yes, master. This subordinate will find the remaining forces."

In the upper floor of the inn is the most luxurious room in the entire place. Only the owner of the Wan Yu Pavilion allowed to use the room.

To be precise in the same inn Gu Mei Ya was also planning to snatch the mine. In the ancient times mine cannot be owned by merchants. But it is different for forces of the martial world.

People of the martial world spoke with their fist more than diplomatic approach. But the forces can own the mine. From Gu Mei Ya perspective acquiring the mine is for more profit.

But it also a nuisance. Although she has built a huge business empire she mostly works on intelligence side. Not the martial world matters.

She mostly provide the information to the clients behind the scenes.

She does not have enough power to deal with mine alone. She was considering with which party she should strike the deal.

Recently she had her thoughts to expand the jeweler business, for that she need constant supplier which can bring less cost but more profit. That is to acquire the required source directly. So far the only way she was able to acquire by purchasing from owners.

That's why she wished to get the jade mine in the Yongjin. But the forces here to fight for the mine are really powerful opponents.

She will really have to pull some strings.

In the next morning the mansion of the magistrate received an important guest. It really attracted many forces. Because the magistrate refused to see any guests. But this is the first time he received after two months. Mostly everyone will be in curiosity to know about the important guest.

But due to recent situation the magistrate has increased the guard around the mansion. Thus the hidden forces are unable to find out about the important guest.

In the end all the forces can only wait for the movements of the magistrate mansion.

It was really not easy Gu Mei Ya for to enter the mansion.

She had to use her identity to get to see the magistrate. She can enter the mansion without others noticing.

But from the report received the magistrate is not budging to the threat of the third price. And the Dark Valley seems to make no movement.

So she had to step forward to get this matter to end somewhere.

That's why she used her identity as Jian gongzi. Jian gongzi is the owner of the Wan Ya pavilion. Wan Ya pavilion is the name of her business.

In the ancient era it's easy to do business by cross dressing as a man.

Jian gongzi had some connection with the magistrate due to some business matters. So she sent an invitation to the magistrate early morning.

Magistrate also wanted to do something. Since someone had sent an opportunity he gladly accepted it. And it's not some royal family he decided to accept the invitation. Jian gongzi arrived without any fanfare. He rode a magnificent horse and wore a silver mask decorated with complicated patterns.

His arrival caused a great wave in Yongjin.

All the forces are now in move. Everyone can guess why the legendary Jian gongzi would come here. Whenever there is profit he would appear there.

Some rumors even say that he is the richest person ever known.

He must appear here for the Jade mine.

In the main hall of the magistrate mansion the servants all looked at the figure sitting on the guest seat. He appeared calm and collected.

There is only indifference in the eyes of the youth. The silver mask complemented his personality. His robes he wore is white. It was decorated with silver thread.

He looked entirely as very gentle person.

When magistrate entered the hall he looked at the siting on the chair and that's what he thought at the first place.

He really was a youth. It's hard to believe a youth could do so much. He is only a young boy. But half of the trade take place in the continent are under his control.

He didn't dare to underestimate the youngster.

Jian gongzi didn't say much. He only nodded at the magistrate as a greeting.

Magistrate wasn't displeased at his attitude. He only smiled more fawningly. "Jian gongzi, is really extraordinary as the rumors say. It's my pleasure to receive Jian gongzi."

Jian gongzi only said. "Magistrate must know about my trip this time. Right?"
