Chapter 416: Capture

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "General Ding, what's the current situation in Jihai Town?"

Ding Shaoqiang's face grew increasingly unsightly, and he shook his head with a sigh.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Is it so rotten that everyone is beyond saving, all tangled up together?"

Ding Shaoqiang gave a bitter smile, "Your insight is unmatched, Princely Heir."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "There's even the matter of illegal iron mining, which managed to deceive the court. Truly, their skills are extraordinary."

Ding Shaoqiang was taken aback.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled softly, "It seems even you, as General, were kept in the dark."

Ding Shaoqiang's face flushed red, anger surging within him.

Illegal iron mining is tantamount to high treason.

This is a crime of confiscation and extermination, these people are truly mad, outrageously audacious!

At the same time, it also reflected his own incompetence.

As a General, he hadn't discovered the illegal mining of iron within his jurisdiction.
