【1564】Silver Mine (3)

Just do it. Ma Xiaoquan put on his gloves, asked a miner for a shovel, and stepped on the ground in front of him with the shovel.

Several experienced miners came up, squatted down and twisted up a handful of soil, shaking their heads at Ma Xiaoquan.

Of course Ma Xiaoquan knew that there could be no silver mines on the ground. He was just putting on a show.

Seeing Ma Xiaoquan's serious look, Zhang Wei didn't dare not help. He and Wang Xun took a shovel and followed Ma Xiaoquan to shovel the soil together.

After the time of burning incense, two miners couldn't help it anymore and said: "Sir, if we shovel soil on the land, it is of no use at all. I think it's better to shovel it deeper."

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, stopped what he was doing and said, "It's cold and the ground is frozen stiff. I was actually trying to test the quality of the soil when I shoveled it. Now it seems that the shovel can't go deep at all."

"Let's see..." Ma Xiaoquan smiled and threw the shovel aside and said: "I don't think you all should be anxious. Finding the real veins is not an easy task. Since Mr. Zhang has taken this matter

Please leave it to me, so naturally I thought, well, you can leave now, I want to check out the situation here."

"Look at the ground conditions?" Zhang Wei asked in confusion, "Sir, we have watched this film over a hundred times, and we can't see anything at all?"

Ma Xiaoquan thought to himself: Of course you can't see it, that's because you don't have advanced instruments.

Ma Xiaoquan patted his chest, photographed the underground detector attached to his body, and said: "My Ma family has a family heirloom, which should be able to find the location of the silver veins."

"A family heirloom?" Zhang Wei's eyes lit up and he thought to himself: It must be the underground detector that Mr. Wei mentioned in his letter. Hum, Ma Xiaoquan, as long as you take it out, I will find a way to get it.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and nodded: "As for me, I happen to be carrying it, but I can't let you see it now, because this treasure passed down by my family cannot be exposed to the light, otherwise it will become ineffective."

As he said that, Ma Xiaoquan winked at Chunqiao beside him, and Chunqiao nodded in agreement: "Yes, your family's treasure must be used at night."

"At night?" Zhang Wei was a little embarrassed. It's very windy at night in this mining area, and it's still winter. Who wants to come out and get cold with you?

"Yes, it's night, what's wrong? Master Zhang, don't you want to come at night?"

How could Zhang Wei dare to say no? He waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, I just think it's a bit too fast and I'm not used to it yet."

Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly: "Okay, let's go back and have a good rest. Wear more clothes at night and come back."

...

There was still a long time before night, so Ma Xiaoquan called Chunqiao into his rest room and asked: "Chunqiao, did you observe anything just now?"

Chunqiao said: "Not really, I just think your progress is a bit fast, captain."

"Well, I can't help but be unhappy. There are still a lot of things in Beijing, and we have to solve them as soon as possible at the silver mine!" Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes slightly, "I think I have guessed what Zhang Wei wants?"

"What?"

Ma Xiaoquan took out the underground detector from his arms. At this moment, the underground detector was not fully unfolded. Chunqiao had seen Ma Xiaoquan playing with it before. She asked in confusion: "Sir, what is this underground detector doing?

What?"

Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "I haven't figured out the details yet, but it can indeed detect places very deep underground."

"Detection? What is detection?"

"Well, to put it simply, it means exploring." Ma Xiaoquan explained roughly.

"Oh!" Chunqiao nodded and asked no more questions.

Ma Xiaoquan fiddled with the underground detector in his hands a few times, and a slight clicking sound was heard. In a moment, the originally flat object suddenly became fuller and turned into a square box as big as a fist.

Chunqiao asked: "Captain, I still don't quite understand, what does Zhang Wei want to do with this?"

Ma Xiaoquan said: "I don't know either, but Wei Zhongxian sent me to the silver mine under the guise of the emperor's imperial edict. He must have wanted to test me. The one who can test me is probably because he knows about the underground detector in my hand."

"But...who told Wei Zhongxian about the underground detector? Is it Fang Yun? Or a member of our Victory Eleven?"

Ma Xiaoquan did not express his position. Chunqiao was a woman with a relatively straight temper. Ma Xiaoquan knew that if he told who it was, even if he said it wrong, Chunqiao would definitely cause trouble for her after she returned.

Ma Xiaoquan didn't want to alert the enemy, because he was playing a big game of chess, and now, he could only wait.

"No one told Wei Zhongxian that Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergen were working together. One of them had a factory guard and the other had a royal guard. They wanted to know something about me. As long as I didn't deliberately hide it, I couldn't hide it, so they could know.

It’s not surprising that I have an underground detector in my hand.”

"Captain, if you take it out tonight, won't Zhang Wei see it? I think Zhang Wei is very insidious."

"Humph, of course it's impossible to let him see it." After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan took out a human skin mask from his arms and slowly put it on his face.

"Captain, what are you..." Chunqiao watched Ma Xiaoquan change his face, but still didn't understand what he was going to do.

After the disguise, Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and said: "I have such a sweet face. If I wear the clothes of a cook, no one will be able to recognize me."

"Cook?" Chunqiao shook his head, "But this is not Beijing. As they say..."

"The cook is just cooking, no need to talk." Ma Xiaoquan said confidently, "Besides, I'm just going out for a while. I want to use an underground detector to explore the situation there first, and wait until night...

Hum hum…”

...

After dinner, Ma Xiaoquan and Zhang Wei led a group of miners to the mining site where they were during the day to continue their exploration.

It took a lot of acting, not to mention that Ma Xiaoquan had come to investigate alone before. At this time, Ma Xiaoquan knew exactly where the silver mine buried underground was.

The underground detector is indeed a magical thing. When Ma Xiaoquan came here before, he only had to open it and fiddle with it a few times to find the specific location of the silver mine. However, according to the numbers displayed on the detector, it was buried underground.

It's difficult to dig at a depth of ten meters.

Zhang Wei rubbed his arms and breathed out hot air. He felt aggrieved, but also helpless. Who knew that Ma Xiaoquan was an imperial envoy who came to inspect, eh!!

After taking a breath of air, Zhang Wei asked: "Sir, you said you have a family heirloom. I'll take a look at it and reveal it as soon as possible. It's too cold."
