Chapter 976

"Elder brother, I just heard outside that Duan Yu has passed away."

He Miao's face still carried the shock of hearing this news for the first time.

"What!"

He Jin stood up from his seat abruptly.

And He Lingman, who was holding a jade tea cup on the side, slipped, and the jade cup fell directly onto the white marble floor and shattered into pieces.

Those beautiful eyes widened, and the whole person seemed to have been cast with a immobilization spell.

"Shuda, what did you say, Duan Yu has passed away?"

"This..."

"Where did you get this news?"

He Zhen looked outside the main hall and said: "Elder brother, this news has already spread in Luoyangcheng."

"I just heard it from a subordinate when I was in the Northern Army outside the city."

"He said Duan Yu fought with that rebel Beigong Boyu in Liangzhou, and they both perished together."

"It is said that this was news from ten days ago."

"It's just that it only spread back to Luoyang now."

The expression on He Jin's face changed from dullness to shock.

Duan Yu is dead!

Duan Yu is dead!

That Duan Yu... actually died?

This...

Just before He Miao came, he was still talking about Duan Yu.

How could he die.

"Impossible, he won't die!"

Just when He Jin was still in shock, and He Miao was waiting for He Jin to speak.

He Lingman, who had been stunned for a long time, suddenly stood up in a purple long dress.

Then she walked to He Miao's side in two steps.

"Elder brother, you are lying to me, right, you are lying to me."

"Duan Yu... Duan Yu is so powerful... how could he die."

"Elder brother, this can't be true."

He Miao hadn't reacted to why his younger sister He Lingman was excited for a moment.

Compared to He Jin, He Miao was the brother and sister born of the same mother as He Lingman.

"Little sister... this is not elder brother talking nonsense, it's spreading like this outside now, I don't believe it either, but..."

"But now the rumors are everywhere outside, all saying that Duan Yu has passed away," He Miao explained.

Crystal tears slid uncontrollably from the corners of He Lingman's beautiful eyes.

He Lingman, who couldn't believe it, grabbed He Miao's armor with both hands.

"Little sister."

He Jin looked at He Lingman and said: "Little sister, don't be so excited, even if Duan Yu is dead, the business of white paper and snow salt still has to be done by you."

He Jin frowned and turned his eyes.

Duan Yu is dead.

Although it can't be counted as good news.

But it seems to have no effect on the He clan.

And...

"Shuda, is this news confirmed to be true?" He Jin asked again to confirm.

He Miao nodded: "It should be true."

"Alas..."

He Jin sighed and said: "Duan Ziyi is a good person, but it's a pity..."

"How does that saying go."

"The tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

"Heaven is jealous of talent."

"It's a pity."

"However, although Duan Yu is dead, the business of white paper and snow salt should still be done."

"This is a rare wealth, and it is also what Duan Yu promised us."

"But..."

A sharp light flashed in He Jin's eyes as he said: "This white paper and snow salt are both items of huge profit; without Duan Yu, how could his family protect them."

"Our relationship with Duan Yu is close, so we have to help with this favor no matter what."

"In this way, Shuda, you send someone to find a way to get in touch with Duan Yu's family."

"Isn't Dong Zhuo still serving as the Colonel of Sili in Luoyang now."

"You go find Dong Zhuo, and say that I am willing to come forward to help Duan Ziyi protect this industry, but the premise is that the sales of snow salt and white paper in the future must be given to our He clan."

"Considering our previous friendship, we will take... let's take eighty percent, and the remaining twenty percent will belong to Duan Yu's family," He Jin said.

He Lingman's gaze turned to He Jin abruptly.

"Elder brother, we..."

At this time, He Jin was completely immersed in the contemplation of planning for the future.

Where did he notice the change in He Lingman.

He only thought that He Lingman was shocked by Duan Yu's death and disappointed because the agreed-upon matter had changed.

As soon as He Lingman's voice started, He Jin waved his hand to interrupt:

"Little sister, you have to handle this matter, this is what elder brother promised you, don't worry, there will be no changes."

At this time, He Lingman was already in a mess.

She couldn't hear He Jin's words at all.

What she cared about was not money or anything.

But Duan Yu.

In grief, He Lingman let go of the hands grabbing He Miao, and then walked outside the main hall.

She didn't believe it.

She didn't believe Duan Yu would die.

He Miao looked at He Lingsi in the distance, his expression thoughtful as he said to He Jin: "Elder brother, little sister seems to be a bit wrong."

He Jin shook his head and said: "Don't worry about that for now, once Duan Ziyi dies, his industry will definitely be targeted by many people, we must strike first, you go find that Dong Zhuo immediately."

Hearing He Jin's order, He Miao had to nod.

Luoyang is big, but not big.

At least compared to Duan Yu's reputation now, Luoyang is not big.

At the moment the small news spread.

The entire Luoyang seemed to be a pot of boiling water.

The news about Duan Yu's death gradually gathered from the streets and alleys of Luoyangcheng into the imperial palace.

As the weather turned cool in autumn, the morning dew wet the tender leaves of the exquisite garden outside the Changqiu Palace.

Inside the Changqiu Palace, after just getting up, He Lingsi, wearing a set of white underwear, got up under the service of the maid.

"This palace has felt tired recently."

He Lingsi, who had just gotten up, said softly.

A maid on the side was combing He Lingsi's long black hair.

"Niangniang, there is a rumor among the people that spring sleepiness, autumn fatigue, and summer napping, now it is autumn, it is natural for Niangniang's body to be a bit tired."

"The slave will go to the Imperial Hospital later and ask the imperial physician to prescribe some nourishing formulas for Niangniang."

He Lingman nodded slightly and said: "That's fine."

"I don't know what's wrong recently, my appetite has also become much better, I think the sour plum fish from the day before yesterday was very delicious."
