Dong Shouye took the bill of lading to pick up the cooked copper. Guan Jianyun’s apprentice Yan Mingyue wanted to stop it when he discovered it, but was stopped by his new apprentice Li Xuran. Li Xuran said that after all, Fuxing Mine belongs to Dong’s family, and the young master is stable. There should be no chaos, but Yan Mingyue was finally persuaded and did not stop Dong Shouye from producing copper, nor did he tell Lord Guan about the matter. Cuizhi was killed, and Dong Shouwang was warned by Ling Shan that he would not be allowed to intervene in the case, but how could Dong Shouwang give up and still not give up tracing the Japanese spies.
Accompanied by Secretary Zeng, Li Zhengkai visited Beishan. Under the guidance of Secretary Zeng, Li Zhengkai quickly selected Fenglongshan as a location for the construction of an arsenal. However, Fenglongshan is a site where the three rivers pass. Still need to send troops to suppress bandits. Li Zhengkai asked Secretary Zeng about his views on Beishan mining in detail.
On this issue, Secretary Zeng supported the Dong family without hesitation. However, the complicated situation of the competition between the Dong family and Fulong Mining in Donghe and the knowledgeable two Family grievances inevitably make Secretary Zeng feel a little bit tricky.
Dong Shouye transported the cooked copper to Wenshang. Wenshang hid the copper in a remote village in the west of the city. This happened to be discovered by Yang Fan and Gao Da. They quickly told Qi Ying. At this time, there must be something wrong with the Dong family producing such a large amount of copper. Qi Ying immediately ordered Yang Fan to keep an eye on this batch of copper.
At the same time, Qi Ying found Dong Shouwang. She worried that this batch of copper was what Dong Shouwang was doing. After knowing that it was not what Dong Shouwang was doing, Qi Ying was relieved a lot, but this made Dong Shouwang feel the seriousness of the situation.
Lingshan suddenly came to Dong’s house as a guest. The purpose was to check the cooked copper provided by Fuxing Mine to the provincial government. At the end of each month, Fuxing Mine would provide the provincial government with 10,000 catties of cooked copper on time. Naturally, she proposed to visit the Fuxing Mine and inspect the goods smoothly.
Mrs. Dong thought that Shouye was already ready. However, seeing that the paper could not contain the fire, Shouye had to admit that she had misappropriated the cooked copper for the provincial government. This made Ling Ling Shan was very unhappy. Ling Shan asked Mrs. Dong to go to the city government to give herself an explanation, otherwise she would report the matter to the provincial capital.
Ling Shan, who had returned disappointedly from Fuxing Mine, came to Fulong Silver in a blink of an eye and met with Fujii. What is even more surprising is that Ling Shan, who is seemingly upright, turned out to be a spy of the Japanese. He and Fujii were in the Northeast period. I knew that at that time the two had worked together, and I could see that Ling Shan was still a little bit worried about Fujii’s failure to fulfill his promise. Osa Inoue asked Lingshan and Fujii to cooperate to complete the Feitouman plan.
Indeed, with Lingshan’s help, Fujii’s actions would be much more convenient, especially to bring down the Dong family, and Lingshan’s strong cooperation was needed to make the Dong family lose the provincial capital. The trust is the ultimate goal of Fujii and Lingshan. For this reason, Fujii created a fake contract to allow Dong Shouye’s privately sold copper to be related to the Japanese, and then continue to control Dong Shouye.
Dong Shouye sold copper privately, trapping Dong’s house and Fuxing Mine in an extremely unfavorable situation. Mrs. Dong was furious and ordered a strict investigation of the matter. Soon Mrs. Dong found that there was her own seal on the delivery note. At this time, Zhao Huan recalled that he had discovered that Water chestnut had been to Mrs. Dong’s study. Without saying anything, Madam Dong immediately summoned Shouye, Shouwang, and Water chestnut to the ancestral hall to inquire.
