The Whispering Verses Chapter 1270: Gold and silver mines

"How much do you know about the Oxenfurt family, Miss Milya? I know that it was a declining family that reappeared because Stone Oxenfurt made his fortune again. In addition, do you still Know something worth mentioning?"

Xia De suddenly asked, and the young maid who was looking through the ledger records thought for a moment:

"Stone Oxenfurt often entrusts us to auction antiques, most of which are cultural relics from the destroyed Kingdom of Stonewell. In addition, he often purchases various precious porcelain, oil paintings or antiques. I don’t care about the price, I will buy it as long as I like it.”

Xia De thought for a moment:

"Is this expense consistent with his own financial situation?"

The auction house is obliged to keep secrets for its customers, but fortunately Shade is not considered an outsider to Cassandra Auction House:

"It doesn't match. With Stone Oxenfurt's consumption situation, even a noble family like the Granger family can't afford it."

Miss Milya said, obviously knowing the local situation very well. Seeing Xia De looking thoughtful, she added new information:

"In addition, more than a year ago, Stone Oxenfurt secretly visited here on a rainy night and requested to purchase statues or similar items that can fight evil. I was not in charge of the local area at that time. These are from the records See."

"Did Resist Evil Auction House take over this business?"

"No."

The maid shook her head slightly:

"We will only get involved in things like this that may involve trouble. Stone Oxenfurt's fortune is not glorious. He is an ordinary person, not even a good person, so the other person who received him at that time The president suggested that he seek help from the Zhengshen Church and gave him a free silver cross - which actually had no effect. Later, this matter was never followed up. It was only after I came to the local area that I changed my mind. Seen in the document."

Due to business reasons, the local Cassandra Auction House has more frequent contact with Stone Oxenfurt than the Golden Dawn. Therefore, Miss Mirya knows Stone Oxenfurt better than Miss Lassers. .

"So what kind of person do you think Stone Oxenfurt is?"

"Definitely not a good person. And according to rumors, his relationship with his wife is very weak. It is rare to see him bringing Seahoop Oxenfurt into the city for business. In fact, except for the wedding two years ago, the city Most people here have never seen the current mistress of the Oxenfurt family."

"Did you know that the Oxenfurt family's family heirloom ring, the Oxenfurt family's 'Kasenrik third-class combat hero medallion, and the glass-embedded sapphire earrings containing a drop of blood?"

"Sorry, what?"

Miss Milya asked in confusion, Shade shook his head

"Do you know about the local discovery of gold mines?"

"There is such a rumor. Because of some things, the auction house has conducted an in-depth investigation. It seems that Oxenfurt found the gold mine in the mountains and cooperated with the big guys in Willendale to develop it. But this is just a rumor, and there are also There is something fishy about it."

"It's William Anjou."

He frowned suspiciously and looked at the photo of Oxenfurt's old house tucked into the document in his hand. There seem to be more and more mysteries surrounding Stone Oxenfurt. …

Looking for clues in the auction house was not very smooth, so Shade planned to write down the suspicious records and go to Miss Bernice's place to discuss them with everyone in the afternoon. When looking at auction records, you will occasionally see some interesting auction items. Needless to say, valuable antiques and oil paintings, special rules Rhodes cards are also a business that auction houses like to get involved in.

In addition, Shade also saw live cats being auctioned. It was a beautiful kitten of the breed "Rhode Island Desert Shorthair Cat". It had sand-like fur, blue eyes, pointed ears that looked like a fox, and a big tail. The person in the photo looks dull and unintelligent.

The cat was bought by a Marchioness who came specially from Willendale. The transaction price was 230 crowns, which is about 3,000 pounds.

"Look at this cat."

Shade specially showed this photo to Mia,

I want Mia to know what its expensive cousin looks like. Unexpectedly, little Mia actually stretched out her paw and scratched the photo, showing a rather aggressive look.

By the time all the documents and account books were sorted out, it was already 11:30 in the morning. After a busy morning, Shade was stretching on the sofa, while Miss Mirya asked Shade if he wanted to have lunch at the auction house.

"No need, I...Is the auction that Princess Margaret attended over?"

He asked, so Miss Milya sent someone to inquire. Soon she learned that the auction was not over yet, and that Prince William Anjou and Princess Margaret Anjou were not in the same box. middle.

Five minutes later, Margaret, who was bored in the box waiting for what she wanted for the finale, heard the door of the box being knocked, and then her maid opened it directly without her permission. opened the door.

The blonde princess turned around in surprise and saw Shade walking in holding an ugly dog:

"Where did you get one? Oh, it turns out to be your cat. Good morning, Shade, sit down quickly! Did you come to me specifically? After we separated last Sunday, although I heard from Bernani Miss Si told you about it, but I was still worried for a while."

She hugged Shade tenderly, and happily pulled Shade to sit down on the sofa with her.

Margaret came here today to view a batch of old stone statues belonging to the Stonemasons Guild. It was the work of a master stone carver who passed away last year and is of great collection value. Margaret wanted to use this batch of stone statues to establish a preliminary relationship with the Masons' Guild and ease their prejudice against the descendants of the Anjou family, so she decided to raise the price:

"The estimated value of those stone statues is 200 crowns, and I plan to raise it to 300 crowns."

"Have you read the information I asked Miss Lassers to give you? Delarion's MI6 can also influence the Masons. If you need help, please feel free to ask."

"Of course, I won't be polite to you."

She smiled and hugged Shade's neck. The goods that Her Royal Highness wanted would not be available for a while. Before that, the enthusiastic girl wanted to test her lover's passion:

"I haven't had a serious kiss with you since I came to Randall Valley."…

She said angrily, put her hands behind her head, **** her long blond hair, and then kissed her passionately. As a "lover who can only kiss", she and Shade can only maintain this kind of intimacy at present.

After special training from the witches, Shade's kissing skills can finally be said to be proficient. It's a pity that the two of them had just come into contact this time, and there was another knock on the door of the box:

"Your Highness Margaret, Your Highness William has something to do with you!"

"It's true."

Margaret let go of Shade quite displeased, and Shade hurriedly walked towards the wardrobe with his cat in his arms - he didn't know why the auction house's box also had a wardrobe.

After Shade was hidden, Margaret let her brother in. Shade covered his cat's mouth and looked outside through the crack in the closet door. His voice was very clear.

"What's the matter?"

Margaret looked very cold, and any girl would not show a good face if she was disturbed at this time.

The door was closed, and His Royal Highness the Prince in black formal attire walked in:

"Have you decided on the local mining business that I discussed with you last time? For thirty thousand kronor, I will give you a 20% share dividend for ten years."

"What on earth are you doing? Are you so short of cash lately?"

Margaret frowned slightly:

"Also, do you have any misunderstandings about me? Although I am also doing some small business, how can I get 30,000 kroner in cash at once? I can lend you some money for emergencies, but You have to tell me, what are you doing? Don't talk about the gold mines in the mountains. I don't trust Stone Oxenfurt."

Actually, it’s because Shade said that Mr. Oxenfurt is weird, and Margaret has already established a relationship with Lesia. If the two princesses cooperate in doing business, they don’t have to worry about the gold mine, which requires a large amount of money. An early investment

Industry.

"Oxenfurt is a very capable man."

Prince William shook his head slightly, then glanced around the room, and then lowered his voice and said:

"To be honest with you, the gold mine is indeed a rumor I asked people to spread. How can the gold mine in the mountain be found so easily? The news of the gold mine is to cover up people's attention. In fact, Ossenfer Special people have discovered a silver mountain vein off the west coast. It is very close to the continental shelf. A captain who is familiar with the sea and land can sail to the island in three days. My people have gone to see it. It is an open-pit rich mine. The reserves are"

He made a gesture that Shade couldn't see because of the angle.

"To be honest with you, this time I came to Randall Valley City, I didn't just cut the ribbon for the shipyard. The gold mine in the mountains was a rumor I spread to recruit people for the next step of offshore development. Preparing for the open pit silver mine. Margaret, my dear sister, this is real big business, and you can't imagine what I've found this time, if I hadn't been able to eat it all by myself, and you happened to be here, too. I will not give you the opportunity."

"Silver Mine?"

Margaret looked at her brother suspiciously:

"It's both a gold mine and a silver mine. Have you ever thought that Oxenfurt might be a liar?"

"Don't worry."

His Royal Highness the Prince understands his sister’s suspicion very well:

"My people have personally checked, and the island does exist. I recruited an old professor of geology in Willondale, and he took his students on a boat trip in the name of scientific research. It also proves that the silver mine is real. The reserves of that mine are twice as large as the current Wolfe Silver Mine, the largest in Kasenlik! We are going to make a fortune!"
