Chapter 47 Where the Gold Mine is

Long Wanzong's death was like a toad that jumped into a calm pond and stirred up a foot of spring water, shattering the moonlight to form the surface of the lake, and raising countless bubbles in the water.

The first one was that everyone was gossiping about the cause of his death. He and Sheng Yu got away from each other while walking on the dry road; and there was a sudden outbreak of the Hualiu disease that was unknown to who infected whom and killed Long Wanzong.

From then on, the experts in treating sexually transmitted diseases in Beijing suddenly came to visit like a cloud, and they no longer visited the doctor as secretly as usual.

The second case was that Mr. Yan, who was the Minister of Justice at the time, suddenly reported to the Holy Emperor that there had been new progress in the Fei Lu human trafficking case that had caused a lot of commotion some time ago.

There are countless connections between them.

Many officials with a keen sense of politics shook their heads, feeling that Yan Taoxue had really been kicked in the head by a donkey: His Majesty had already personally closed this case, so why did he bring it up again for no reason?

Moreover, the imperial concubine was sad at this time. He directed and performed a drama to "add insult to injury". So, there was no hope of being the successor of the old Minister of Punishment.

This third one is the most intriguing. Suddenly, there is news that among the many evil things Long Wanzong has done, one of them is so audacious that he dares to secretly mine gold!

This is a serious crime of treason and treason! Even if the emperor liked him no matter how much he liked him, he would not be indifferent to this kind of thing.

As for Du Heng, Xue Feibai, the eighth prince Zhou Si, and the tenth prince Zhou Yan, they are like two worlds:

The Eighth Prince smashed an entire set of hard and precious huanghuali wood furniture in his house to pieces. Amidst the flying wood chips, a rich woody fragrance filled his nose, so rich that it was suffocating.

After smashing this set of hard wood worth thousands of dollars, Zhou Si sat on the ground panting. Looking at the grimace pattern on the broken wood, Zhou Si felt it was a silent mockery.

Yan Tao Xue was clearly in their grasp, but before they even started to recruit him, they cut off their own retreat and turned to the prince who had no ambitions.

Zhou Si has no doubt that if they dare to talk about his thoughts and policies, he will definitely confuse his vision and release more black information about Long Wanzong. Next time, he will be the first to bear the brunt of the dirty things on the table.

I'm a member of Ba Ye's party.

And that dead man Long Wanzong, why did the news of their conspiracy to dig gold mines leak out!

We are short of money now. With the imperial guards on my father's side watching, the third prince and the cunning loach-like Zhou Xian are also watching, so how can we dare to make any big moves in a year or two!

Fortunately, there were only vague rumors, and there was no solid evidence that Longwanzong had discovered a gold mine; even if there had been, they couldn't find where it was...

Zhou Si leaned against the wall as if he was out of strength, raised his hand and forced himself to smooth the "Sichuan" pattern between his eyebrows. Looking at his brother who was standing straight and practicing calligraphy outside, he felt that he was really calm.

The tenth prince Zhou Yan threw away the broken Hu pen in his hand without expression, replaced it with a white jade one, and then wrote a poem through the back of the paper:

All things are created to nourish people, yet people in the world still blame Heaven for being unkind.

I don’t know that locusts are all over the world, causing suffering to all the people and their ministers.

People are born with high and low status, and noble people grow up to be favored by God.

Wealth in life is always determined by God, and the poverty of ordinary people is punished by God.

Suddenly, a madman sharpens his sword at night, and the emperor's star flutters high.

From now on, there is no need to worry about killing people.

People who are unfaithful are said to be killed! People who are unfilial are said to be killed!

The unkind person is said to be killed! The unjust person is said to be killed!

If you are rude, unwise, and distrustful of others, the King of Daxi says, "Kill, kill, kill!"

I was not born to compete with deer. I am too lazy to build a golden platform.

The No. 1 scholar and all the officials are like dogs, they are always cutting off their talent.

Send an order to the four princes under his command. There is no need to seal the city with swords and daggers.

On the top of the mountain, this monument is erected on behalf of Heaven. Those who defy Heaven will die even if they stand and kneel down!

Zhou Si looked at the letters with iron and silver hooks, and felt that the rice paper was pale, as if the frost grass had been beaten by the autumn wind, and was about to be suffocated by the black words.

"Tenth brother's calligraphy has improved again." Zhou Si patted Zhou Yan and spoke dryly.

Zhou Yan's voice did not distinguish between emotion and anger: "Bago, have we been tricked by someone?"

Zhou Si also nodded, "Since Zhou Xian lost his biggest helper, the Lin family, I don't know if he has a new adviser, who will be ruthless and bite whoever he catches..."

"Really? Brother Bago thinks he did it?"

"It can't be the third child, right? Injuring the enemy by eight hundred and damaging yourself by a thousand? No matter how stupid he is, he doesn't seem to be this bad."

Zhou Yan shook his head. He always felt that this road was not like the nephew who took every step and looked at ten steps...

"But tenth brother, are you sure they can't find a place in that gold mine?"

"Don't worry, Bage. I have already given instructions to Long Wan Zong. If any clue is leaked, it will be a serious crime of confiscating the family and destroying the ancestors. He can handle it clearly."

***

"Fiancée, what are you doing?" Xue Feibai looked at Du Heng holding a small tea brush, brushing this and that on the ore they brought back.

"People can't tell where gold is, but gold itself can tell where its home is." Du Heng concentrated on gathering up the small lump of soil he had swept down and placed it on a piece of paper.

"Red soil?" Xue Feibai looked at the thin layer of red soil, his beautiful peach blossom eyes widening.

Not too stupid, Du Heng thought.

"There are three types of red soil in the south, brick red soil, red soil and red soil." Xue Feibai continued: "What about the red soil in the north?"

"There is no red soil in the north," Du Heng interrupted Xue Feibai coldly: "Brick red soil is mostly distributed in Lingnan and Ryukyu. If gold mines can be mined in those places, they are not barbaric places." After that, he touched it -

—

"The soil is sticky and heavy. Looking at the color comparison, I think it is more likely to be red soil than red soil."

Xue Feibai asked happily: "Where is the red soil?"

"It is distributed in southern Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi, and southeastern Fujian."

The glimmer in Xue Feibai's eyes was like a ball of burning cotton, a red flame without smoke; as soon as Du Heng finished speaking, it turned into a ball of black embers that would be extinguished forever.

Xue Feibai had a bitter look on his face: "You are playing with me, Du Heng. It will take us three to five years to visit all the places you mentioned!"

"I think it's most likely to be in Yunnan, southern Yunnan."

Xue Feibai's face turned from cloudy to clear again, jumping repeatedly between happiness and disappointment, "How do you say it?"

"There are very few records of gold mines being mined in the Guangdong and Guangxi areas. I remember that it was said in the Tang Dynasty's "Fang Yong Prefecture Jinkeng Edict", "Lingwai Dai Da Da" and the Song Dynasty's "Song History Shi Huo Zhi", Yongzhou

It produces gold, but it’s only in this one place, and it doesn’t have much reference value.”

“What about Fujian?”

"Tao Hongjing of the Qi Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties said: 'Gold is born everywhere. In the three states of Liang, Yi and Ning, there are many gold sands emerging from the sand. ... In Jianping and Jin'an, there are also gold sands emerging from the rocks'..."

"Jianping and Jin'an!" Xue Feibai couldn't help shouting.

Du Heng nodded.
