"Brother, if you had been so straightforward earlier, why would I have to do such a thing?"
Ye Feng laughed and poured half a glass of monkey wine and handed it to Lu Dayou.
"Great wine! This wine contains ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, and something else I can't smell, but it must be very precious!"
Lu Dayou had a very keen nose. He took the wine but didn't drink it. Instead, he sniffed it first. After he told the ingredients in the monkey wine, he took a sip from the cup. When the wine went down his throat, his eyes lit up immediately. After swallowing a little bit of it down his throat, he exclaimed, "Good wine. This is the best wine I have ever tasted in my life! If I can drink such wine once in my life, it would be enough even if I die immediately!"
Fatty Jiang reached out and touched his forehead, looking at Lu Dayou with contempt.
This guy is very quiet when he has nothing to say, but when he drinks, he becomes a chatterbox.
However, this guy who loves wine so much, although his behavior just now was annoying, he should not be a bad person.
"It's so fragrant and mellow, so sweet and graceful! It's the best! My life has not been in vain!"
After swallowing half a cup of monkey wine bit by bit, Lu Dayou shook his head and said happily with a slightly tipsy look.
"Now that you've had your fill of wine, it's time for you to answer my questions..."
Ye Feng smiled at this guy who loved wine like his life, and then said in a deep voice: "You just said that Prince Yu was in big trouble. May I ask what happened that made this big man who was so powerful in Yudu so uncertain whether he could save his life?"
"Prince Jade suffered all kinds of misery in the first twenty years of his life, and enjoyed all kinds of wealth in the middle thirty years. Although his life has been full of ups and downs, it is really unknown whether he can save his life this time." Lu Dayou smiled with emotion, and then said: "According to the rumors in Yudu, someone is eyeing Prince Jade's property and wants him to hand it over."
Ye Feng frowned, feeling that Lu Dayou's words were a bit alarmist.
It was natural for Prince Jade to be targeted by others because of his wealth and success. But he didn't think that Prince Jade had never encountered similar things during his 30 years of prosperity. How could such a person give up his family business to others
"The people who targeted Prince Jade this time were no ordinary people. It is said that they are from a mysterious family. In just one month, all 13 jade mines owned by Prince Jade were shut down, and each mine had a murder case. Although Prince Jade tried every way to settle the matter, no one he found could help him."
Lu Dayou smiled and said slowly.
All thirteen jade mines were shut down, and there were also fatal lawsuits!
And no one can help him!
Ye Feng was startled when he heard this. If that was the case, then Prince Jade had really caused a big trouble.
However, the word "family" mentioned by Lu Dayou made Ye Feng's heart move slightly.
An ordinary family naturally does not have such great power to make Prince Jade helpless. It is very likely to be an ancient martial arts family, and a relatively powerful ancient martial arts family. Only those people have such strong strength.
However, this made Ye Feng feel that he had seized an opportunity.
Since Prince Jade is unable to resume operation of the jade mine due to the power of those families, he will naturally find a way to sell the jade mine.
As long as they handle it well, he and Jiang Yixue might be able to get some good deal.
"Brother, I advise you not to think about getting a bargain." Lu Dayou was very experienced and saw through Ye Feng's thoughts at a glance. He smiled and advised: "It's not that no one in Yudu has had the same idea as you, but before discussing the purchase of the mine with Prince Yu, trouble suddenly broke out at home. Since then, no one dared to even mention it again."
"Others may not be able to do it, but I may be able to do it." Ye Feng smiled confidently.
"Brother, you can take out such precious monkey wine, so you are definitely not an ordinary person." Lu Dayou shook his head, and then said: "But as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Brother, even if you are a dragon in the capital, you'd better be careful when you arrive in Yudu."
"As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, but it also says that only a fierce dragon can cross the river." Ye Feng smiled casually.
The matter of the jade mine is of great importance. If the jade mine in Prince Jade's hands meets his and Jiang Yixiu's requirements, then there's nothing wrong with fighting with that damn family.
“Brother, why are you doing this…” Seeing that Ye Feng didn’t listen to the advice, Lu Dayou frowned and wanted to persuade him a few more times.
"Okay, let's not talk about Prince Jade for now. Let's wait until we get to Jade City to see the situation. But I appreciate your kindness, brother. If something is impossible, I won't force it."
Ye Feng smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Lu Dayou's words, and then asked: "Just now, when Fatty Jiang told me that when we get to the Jade City, we want to play jade gambling and show off our skills to get two pieces of mutton-fat jade back, what did you mean by smiling so contemptuously?"
"Brother, even if you don't mention this matter, I still want to persuade you!"
When it comes to "gambling on jade", Lu Dayou's expression immediately became much more solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "I see that you don't look like someone who has been in this business before, and you don't know how deep the water is in this business; you don't know how difficult it is to gamble on jade and bet on the rise in price. There are many people who dream of getting rich overnight, but over the years, the only one who has really won is the Jade Prince!"
"Since there are so few winners, why are there so many people willing to gamble?" Fatty Jiang said unconvincedly, "I've had good luck since I was a kid, I'm sure I can get a good one."
"You still ask me why so many people love to gamble on jade. Haven't you already told me the reason yourself?"
Lu Dayou stared at Fatty Jiang mercilessly and sneered several times. Without waiting for him to attack, he continued:
"People like to gamble on jade because it is risky, exciting and a heart-pounding game. After the jade is mined, there is a layer of stone skin on the outside. If this layer of stone skin is not wiped off, no one knows what is inside. In addition, there is currently no instrument in the world that can see through the inside of the stone, so no one dares to guarantee the inside of a piece of raw stone."
"Many times, a rough stone with good surface performance, after being cut, the inside is disappointing, and people lose everything, even their pockets. This is the so-called one-knife hell. Over the years, I don't know how many people who dream of getting rich rushed to the Jade City, but failed in the jade gambling field, and their families were ruined..."
Lu Dayou seemed to be deeply touched by the gambling on jade. His tone was low and desolate when he spoke, and there were even tears in his eyes.
“Brother, you…” Fatty Jiang also felt something was not right when he heard that and frowned.
"I am the one who went bankrupt because of gambling on jade..." Lu Dayou smiled miserably and said, "Twenty years ago, I was persuaded by someone in the Jade Capital to spend all my money and spend two million to buy a piece of raw stone with excellent performance. But after cutting it open, it was full of quartz. From then on, I lost everything. My wife hated me for being useless and left me with the children..."
