He sent out sixty crossbowmen and thirty men with horses to protect the two of them across the sea, and said that they would stay there for Li Tingshi's dispatch. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing this, Cui's has nothing to worry about, and the discomfort of leaving a new place and a new place has been alleviated at this time. Mrs. Cui no longer thinks about Qianzhou, and the Thorn History Mansion has not been reflected in Cui Ying's mind for some days. Yinglongling, the oak tree, the flower garden, the new lady Liu, and the high trial line, all seem to be in another world.

She didn't want to go to the daughters of Shanyang Town, so she taught sweet female workers, homework and etiquette with a heart.

The fact that she deceived Gao Xianxing and Li Mi in her early years has always been like two big stones pressing on her heart, and now it seems that she has moved away.

Mrs. only occasionally misses her father and brother and Liu Boyu, she thinks that she came to Xizhou, is closest to Liu Boyu, and sleeps very well at night.

As for the question of who is older and who is smaller than Miss Liu's identity, Cui's will not think much about it, who is older and who is smaller between himself and Wugu? She didn't directly invite herself to go out, it was because she considered Liu Yuru and Cui Yan's feelings, and Mrs. Cui didn't want them to be embarrassed.

In short, Cui is determined to make herself dispensable in Gao Shen Xing, and she will keep her promise to Gao Shen Xing - if Miss Liu can give birth to a son in Gao Shen Xing, she will be small.

Tian Tian went out to play and came back to talk about the things on the street. This little girl still doesn't know about the change in the identities of her two uncles, and goes to her uncle's house to play as always, and Cui's does not stop it.

Tian Tian said that her uncle was the biggest official in the silkworm room and the silk weaving field, and he scared the two bad guys surnamed Zheng, and when he saw his uncle, he trembled, and he didn't dare to say anything, and his appearance was changed back.

Cui Shi knew that the child was learning the words of the adults in Xie Guang's family, so he asked, "With your eldest uncle here, the second uncle can also go back to the silk weaving field, right?" ”

Tian Tian said, "The eighth aunt didn't let the second uncle take a step in, saying that he didn't have a stake in the weaving field. The uncle said that as a Xizhou official, he firmly supported Aunt Eight's decision. ”

When Cui Shi heard this, she couldn't cry or laugh, I don't know if her eighth aunt is a good person in the eyes of a child as big as Tiantian.

Soon, Cui learned that Hao Pozi's yard in the West Village had been sold by Cao Da, and he took the money to the silkworm house and the silk weaving field to buy new shares. Sister-in-law Xie once complained shallowly about her mother-in-law's partiality, but she is no longer the person who was so calculating as she used to be.

……

In Qiuzi City, Su Fa and Prime Minister Nari discussed together.

News from the Xizhou Ling Shi family: Six of the nine wives in the family of Gao Jun, the governor of Xizhou, ran away, and Gao Jun was not in the ranch village for some days and didn't know where he went.

Su Fa said to Nali, "He has always been elusive, did he also go to Shaya City?" ”

Nari couldn't say exactly, because the news from Shaya City didn't contain Gao Jun's content. However, there have been a lot of people who have run from Xizhou to Shaya City recently, Chen Xiaowang's family, Gao Junjiu's wife Lilan and her group of buddies, there are more than a dozen people.

Su Fa, who has always been careful in his work, will always turn his mind more than others in this matter: Could it be that Gao Jun has already been aware of the theft of gold from the gold mine and the scattered gold from the Qiuzi side?

Nali said, "Your Majesty, are you too worried?" Look at these people from Xizhou, how can any of them be useful and weighty? Chen Xiaowang, who was deceived by Xie Guang, made the historian say the same; And the Ninth Lady, although she came to Shaya City to open warm soup and made a lot of noise, only one Seventh Lady came to cheer, and they were sisters. ”

Su Va asked, "Prime Minister, what do you mean?" ”

Nali said, "It's clear that this is inconvenient for Gao Jun, and he doesn't want to come forward." I heard that Gao Jun's eldest lady is extremely vinegary, and she doesn't even care about the emperor's face when the sour taste comes up. She took her family out of Xizhou, and the eight achievements were related to the ninth lady. ”

Su Fa smiled, "Prime Minister, I can't believe you when you say this, Gao Jun is afraid of the eldest lady, and there are rumors even in Qiuzi City. ”

"Why didn't the Seventh Lady go with her?" Instead, he ran to Shaya City to cheer for the Ninth Lady? Wentang, which was funded by Xizhou, even if Gao Jun was not present, at least it should be the Eighth Lady who came forward. If you can't figure out this ninth lady, it is Gao Jun who left Xizhou with a generous profit, and the real intention is probably to please his eldest lady. ”

Su Hua said, what the prime minister said makes sense, but the more it makes sense, the more uneasy I am, I feel that this is a large array of ecstasy deliberately laid by Gao Jun. If there's something out of the ordinary, that's normal.

Nali is not easy to say, and his king Su Fa just scared Gao Jun, this is not what a courtier should say.

So he comforted, "Since the king doesn't want to tear his face with Xizhou at the moment, then there is nothing wrong with letting Salke and Chen Guojun take the lead and think about Qiuzi City." These two people, one is their own gold mine has changed hands and their hearts are uneven, and the other is their own woman has changed hands and can't breathe, as long as we don't leave a trace, even if the gold mine incident happens, what does it do to our Qiuzi City? ”

Su Fa nodded, "The two people that the prime minister said, I can see that they don't want to count on Qiuzi City for a long time, and they have different hearts, so they can only use them and throw them away." ”

Nali said yes, and asked, "Zheng Zhishan is in the ranch village, so that Xie Guang's atmosphere does not dare to come out, do you want to let them come back?" There is under Gao Jun's nose, if something happens and Gao Jun catches something, it will be more of a headache than in the gold mine. ”

Su Fa snorted, "We didn't expect anything from them too much, we originally planned to let them enter Xizhou, disturb Gao Jun's silkworm affairs, silk weaving affairs, and if possible, disturb his relatives, but who knew that these two relatives were fake!" ”

He said with great interest, "Just let Zheng Zhishan and the others be there, what big waves do you want them to make, they don't have that much ability." Imagine stealing Gao Jun's child like last time, disgusting and disgusting habits, it seems that it will not work, could it be that this Mrs. Liu has the ability to predict the future, and ran away with the child early? ”

The two laughed. Su Fa asked, "Can Saerke and Chen Guojun go to Shaya City?" ”

Nali said, "The two of them are each dragged by a rope of wealth and sex, and you can't let them go, the king." ”

So far, Su Va and Nali think they are all in control. Qiuzicheng has Ling Shi's family in Xizhou, Zheng Zhishan reports in Ranch Village, and Chen Guojun's team in the gold mine.

And Gao Jun is more and more like he has lost his rules. Su Va said, maybe we all think highly of him!

……

In Hou Wei Village, outside Shaya City, the lights were lit in the easternmost courtyard, and Chen Guojun was drinking together at the house of Lord Hou, the head of the gold mine.

The rumor of the arrest of Chen Guojun by the guard of Shaya City, Ashina Sheer, has long been weakened, and the horse teams patrolling the rural roads outside the city, whether in number or batch, are almost negligible.

Chen Guojun finally disguised himself out of Qiuzi City at night, nominally to lobby Chen Xiaowang. He knew it was a bit dangerous, but Lilan's Wenyu Chizi and Lilan were both by the Red River, and he couldn't sit still in Qiuzi City.

The surname of the master of the key is Hou, the name is Hai, and his ancestral home is Baicheng, and Baicheng is under the jurisdiction of Qiuzi. He is almost in his fifties, and he used to be a steward under the mine owner Salco. After the gold mine changed hands, Hou Hai did not flee when Salko fled, but took advantage of the chaos to change his ancestral home and lurked in the gold mine.

He performed well, but also because the territory of Xizhou was expanding too quickly, especially because there were not many sensible and managerial people in the gold mine, Hou Hai quickly achieved the key to the bulk gold warehouse, and he was specifically in charge of the key to the bulk gold warehouse under the history of the warehouse.

Speaking in detail, Chen Guojun's anti-water is also the credit of Hou Hai, and for Chen Guojun, who has the hatred of taking his wife, there is nothing wrong with holding the benefits of Dai Lu in Xizhou on the one hand and Qiuci City on the other.

He was the one who secretly gave Gao Jun sand in Jiaohe County last time, and he was the one who didn't come to his aid when he saw Gao Jun's second son being stolen. In the end, Gao Jun, the governor of Xizhou, scared away the frightened bird-like Steward Chen.

Hou Hai has been a little worried recently, because Chen Xiaowang has not left the history of the scattered gold warehouse, his eyes are staring at the accounts of the scattered gold in and out of the warehouse, and the balance between the output and the warehouse.

Hou Hai knew that it was impossible for Chen Xiaowang to stare at the slightest bit of revelation in the scattered gold warehouse, but he just couldn't be down-to-earth if he was a thief.

Chen Guojun said to Hou Daren, "Don't worry, don't say it's Chen Xiaowang, even if it's Gao Junlai, you can't see anything." Gao Jun fights and kills, and investigates such meticulous work...... He's far from it! ”

Su Fa kept a close eye on the gold theft, and the two drank wine at Hou Hai's house and dug out each other's hearts.

Everyone can see that Su Fa is bent on stealing the gold from the Chihe Gold Mine, and it is not purely for gambling. But this is a trickle of water, and the action is too frequent, and sooner or later it will attract the attention of Xizhou.

At that time, Su Fa can be pushed cleanly, but it will be difficult for those of them who do things to get out.

Drinking wine, Hou Hai said to Chen Guojun, "I can say that there is only a distant cousin in Baicheng who no one knows, and he is also light when he leaves, but what about you, Brother Chen?" You're not willing to go like this, aren't you? ”

Chen Guojun gritted his back molars and said, "There is no future with Su Fa, he can't fight Gao Jun, and he can't be soft with Xizhou, there is always a king of the city to do." I don't believe that there is Lilan in the middle, and the one with the highest surname is willing to let me go! Sooner or later, even the turtles will not have a place for me. ”

Let's go, I have to take Lilan with me, and if I can't take it away, I'll have to destroy her!

Without this thought, Chen Guojun would have already gone to the side of Green Ridge. When he saw that Hou Hai was neither yin nor yang, he reminded him, "Lord Hou, don't forget, according to the list of gold mine officials, your hometown is Jiaohe!" In the event of an incident, you will end up with the same fate as me - a spy. ”

Hou Hai sighed, "We are each other, why are we suspicious? ”

He suggested, "It's not too early, let's see if there is any way to make Chen Xiaowang bold, as long as he is willing to fight back, the scattered gold warehouse is ours!"

The Chihe gold mine belongs to the sand gold mine, which is different from mountain gold, and the gold mining procedure is also simpler than that of mountain gold.

Mountain gold is often mixed with ore veins, and the gold-bearing ore should be crushed with a sledgehammer, ground into a slurry, placed in a refractory crucible, and then added to a percent of borax and saltpeter, and melted them into boiling gold water.

This process is called "face opening", after the face is opened, the gold water is poured into a large, small-bottomed container to cool, then upside down, and the ballast is knocked off with a small hammer, and the rest is a horseshoe-shaped gold nugget with impure color sandwiched with silver or copper.

The sand gold of the Chihe gold mine saves the procedure of mining stones, knocking ores, and grinding ores, and the waves in the river wash and drum all year round, and there is a work made in heaven, and those ores are finer than those specially grinded.

As long as you find such a sandy area, dig it out and wash it with the water of the Red River, and the gold grains of different shapes that are as big as broad beans, as small as mung beans and even fine sand buried in the sand will appear.

Gold is known as "seven green, eight yellow, nine purple, and ten red", which means that the purity of gold can be distinguished by its color. The gold content of blue-yellow is seventy percent, the gold content of dark yellow is eighty percent, and the gold grains mined from the Chihe gold mine are reddish yellow, and the fineness can be regarded as almost ten percent!

The loose gold mined in the mine is of different sizes, the largest is sandy, the size of the bean is a little less, and the large broad bean is a little less, but the two golden broad beans weigh one or two.

The bulk gold warehouse is a place dedicated to holding them. Then the furnace is opened twice a month on the first and fifteenth day of the new year, and every two days, the loose gold is carefully guarded out of the warehouse and sent to the furnace.

Inside the gold warehouse are rows of stout wooden shelves with wooden pallets, and loose gold grains of various sizes are stored in different categories.

Hou Hai was in charge of the key to the loose gold warehouse, and he was quite familiar with the inside, and on the wooden shelf at the front were placed three dog-headed gold, which the miners dug directly from the mineral sand of the riverbed.

Seven taels are gold, eight taels are treasures, but these three dog's head gold, each piece weighs seven or eight pounds! They have been treated as treasures of the town and have not been melted down.

The importance of the loose gold warehouse can be imagined, the precautions here are tight, and the miners who guard the gate do not blink their eyes, and a fly flies out of it, and they have to break their wings to see if there is any entrainment.

Chen Guojun listened to Lord Hou's words, snorted and said, "You want to bring Chen Xiaowang over, unless you give your cousin Bai to him!" ”

The two cleaned up, carried two jars of wine and quietly walked out of the courtyard.

In the middle of the village is Chen Xiaowang's home, Chen Guojun and Hou Hai walked to the place, but saw the newly opened Wentang Pond gate in the west of the village brightly lit. At this time, the gate of the warm soup pool was already in and out, and it was time to close.

But Chen Guojun did not dare to go to the pool. He sighed softly helplessly, stood in the dark shadow behind Hou Hai, and listened to him knock on the door of Chen Xiaowang's house.

The door opened, and it was Chen Xiaowang's father, Chen Xingwang, who opened the door. Their father and son didn't recognize Chen Guojun, but they recognized Hou Hai, and when they saw that it was him, Chen Xingwang hurriedly bowed down and invited the two in.

……

Gao Jun has been nesting in the Xizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion these days, although the gate is not out of the door, but the news of Shaya City continues to come back.

Since returning to Xizhou, the Chihe gold mine has increased the number of miners by two or three hundred, and the sand ore belt along the river is still as rich as ever.

However, there is still almost no increase in the number of gold ingots minted last year.

Except for Chen Xiaowang, everyone in the gold mine can be suspicious, but until the real evidence is found, they can't make a big move. It's not about taking people, it's about finding out the channels for losing money.

This incident made Gao Jun like a fish in his throat.

With the money he has and the capital of the enemy, if it is spread out, he, the governor of the capital, will not be able to raise his head.
