Li Liming thought about it a lot that night.

Seeing that Li Liming was no longer wandering around the room, Jiao Hang blew out the light and fell asleep.

Just as everyone else had fallen asleep, Luo Cheng stood up and left.

After glancing at the sleeping Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng placed a letter by his pillow and left with his men.

At the same time, in Ye Shengnan’s hometown, Changning Village, Luo Han had already disguised himself and asked someone to find out all the information about the coal mine.

At this moment, the army also gathered in a very hidden forest outside Changning Village.

When Luo Cheng arrived, everything was ready.

Luo Cheng asked, “How is it? Have you figured out the situation here?”

Luo Han teased, “Don’t worry, I’m very reliable! However, Luo Cheng, you’re really lucky! You just came out for a stroll, but you found a coal mine in the end!”

Luo Cheng rolled his eyes at Luo Han but said nothing. Instead, his gaze landed on another person.

“You’re Xu Wenjing? Old Master Xu’s eldest grandson?”

“Greetings, Mr. Luo!” Xu Wenjing walked forward and bowed with a smile.

Luo Cheng couldn’t help but lament, “There’s no need to be so polite. You look so similar to Elder Xu! When I saw you just now, I almost thought I saw the young Elder Xu!”

Xu Wenjing joked, “Everyone says that I look a little like my grandfather. Actually, I really don’t want to look like my grandfather. Unfortunately, my looks were given to me by my parents, so I can’t change them!”

Luo Cheng smiled in understanding.

“Don’t worry, you’re more handsome than Elder Xu. You’ll definitely be more outstanding than him in the future!”

The three of them laughed at the same time.

After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them sat together and discussed things.

Many people thought that midnight was when everyone was the most tired.

Actually, the period of the day from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m was when people were the most tired.

Therefore, Luo Cheng and the others planned to take down the Song family and the coal mine at this time.

Luo Cheng said, “In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I made some powder. Coincidentally, the wind tonight is also beneficial to our plan. Before the operation, let our people stand in the direction of the wind and spread this powder. After that, we’ll sneak in quietly and tap those people’s sleeping acupoints before taking over the coal mine!”

The Sichuan army will take 40% for military expenses, like paying the soldiers, buying military rations and cotton clothes. The remaining 30% will be sent to my residence!”

When Xu Wenjing heard Luo Cheng’s words, she thought for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Luo, what do you plan to do with this coal mine?”

Logically speaking, White Foothill City was already his fief, so everything in this fief was under his jurisdiction.

All the income in the fief belonged to Luo Cheng.

Therefore, Mr. Luo had the right to take over the coal mine and mine it himself.

Unexpectedly, Luo Cheng shook his head when he heard Xu Wenjing’s words.

“What should we do with the coal mine? After I report it to the emperor, let the emperor decide! Anyway, no matter who gets the coal mine in the end, it has to pay taxes. By the way, when we raid the house later, confiscate all the Song family’s assets! These assets will be used to offset the tax money that should have been paid over the years!”

As soon as he said this, Luo Han and Xu Wenjing were overjoyed!

A businessman who dared to open a coal mine privately must have a lot of assets.

Using the family assets to offset the taxes meant that they could all get a share of the money!

With this money, they could do a lot of things.

Luo Han felt that with this sum of money, many things that were beneficial to the commoners could be implemented.

As for Xu Wenjing, he wanted to use this money to improve the meals of her soldiers and buy some winter clothes for them.

Every winter, the army had a pitifully little amount of military supplies, and they were also short of warm clothes.

Every year, Xu Wenjing had to rack her brains to get some warm cotton clothes for the soldiers.

Now that they had the support of the taxes from this coal mine, the quality of their lives could finally be improved!

At the thought of this, Xu Wenjing became even more excited.

After such good news was passed down, the soldiers were all excited as well.

Just like that, at the beginning of the night, Luo Han and Xu Wenjing led their men to attack the place.

Xu Wenjing was in charge of the coal mine, while Luo Han was in charge of the Song family’s residence in Changning Village.

With the powder made by Luo Cheng, the two sides had a smooth-sailing journey and immediately subdued the Song family and the coal mine.

The Song family members were captured by Luo Han’s men while they were still sleeping. Then, they were tied up.

The next day, after the chickens crowed several times, the sun slowly rose.

When Song Pei opened his eyes again, he realized that not only was there a rag in his mouth, but he couldn’t even move his limbs.

Upon closer inspection, his wife and beautiful concubines were tied up at the side as well.

Song Pei whimpered, but there was no movement around him.

As for his wife and children, they still didn’t move, as if they were deeply asleep.

Song Pei was flustered.

Something bad had happened. Something bad must have happened!

However, he wondered why these people had tied his family up.

If it was for money, it would be easy to handle.

If it was because of the coal mine, he was doomed.

At this moment, Song Pei couldn’t calm down at all.

When Song Pei saw who it was, his heart sank and his face turned pale. Then, sweat dripped down his face.

“It seems that you know me!” Luo Han smiled when he saw Song Pei’s reaction.

“Since you know me, things will be easy to discuss, right?!”

At this moment, Song Pei’s face was ashen. Then, he closed his eyes and remained silent.

Seeing this, Luo Han was amused.

“Song Pei, do you really think I can’t do anything to you just because you won’t say anything? You underestimate me!”

With that, Luo Han stood up.

“Go and prepare the interrogation feast I modified previously.. Treat our esteemed guest well! You have to know that the esteemed guest in front of you is extremely rich!”
