Houfu businesswoman

Chapter 2034 Haikou (1)

On the eighth day of December in the 20th year of Qiguo Deshun, early in the morning, when the gate of the city was just opened, a team of horsemen rushed out of the city. The two of them were whipped and fell to the ground with a groan.

Others didn't dare to go forward anymore, because their skinning soldiers team had suffered a lot recently, and several of them were beaten by the people who gathered because of charging fees for entering the city gate. When I came back, I had been reported missing.

But because they were all Xiao Luoluo, they reported it, and no one was looking for someone or anything. Instead, their family members came to the gate of the city every day to complain, but no one could provide the result of this matter, let alone any clues. To deal with these people, so after a few days of tossing, the two families could only acquiesce that they couldn't survive, and went home crying.

The horse-riding team rushed out, of course it was Siyang and Qinhui, as well as the guards and secret guards of the City Lord's Mansion. Today they are going to see the minerals they found there. They have been running like this for an hour and a half , just arrived at that cliff, and after a closer look, it was indeed at the foot of Xiuyun Mountain.

Siyang and Qinhui stood on the cliff, and Siyang pointed to the densely forested place below and said, "It's right there, we've explored it carefully, it's not a small iron mine, if it's mined properly every year, at least It can produce tens of thousands of catties of iron ore and then smelt it. If you don’t rest day and night, you should be able to produce more than this.”

"Prefect Li's Zhuangzi is near this iron mine, and the inside is heavily guarded. Yan Yi and the others have already gone in and inspected it. A lot of unsmelted iron ore is in this Zhuangzi, and this Zhuangzi is Li Zhifu's lair. There are things he looted in the past, and there are also things that he has amassed money after he came to Jincheng, "

"At the same time, there are also the bank notes drawn from several people in the Chamber of Commerce after running the Jincheng Chamber of Commerce, and the precious treasures he has accumulated over the years are hidden in the secret room. Today we must act first and beat him personally. Don't be caught off guard, otherwise, in a day or two, the things from the prefect Li will be sent to the Xiong family in Fancheng, so we must be fast."

Qinhui nodded, for the problem of collecting things, there is no one faster than their husband and wife. No matter what kind of things, they can't be left for the enemy to deal with themselves. Generally, Qinhui is the one who is hostile to Qinhui. Let them cut off their money, otherwise you will come and go endlessly.

So Qinhui said: "Okay, let's do it this way. This iron ore is the best thing for the emperor. It happens that the ring given by the emperor has freed up a lot of space during this period. We can put these things, and it will be good for us. The emperor has an explanation."

But the next step may be a little more troublesome. They need to walk or use ropes to descend, because this cliff cannot go down, so they can only go down the road by detour, but this place is inaccessible, this should be a mulberry forest. Usually no one is here, that's why Li Zhifu's lair is so well hidden.

Fortunately, Yan Yi and the others are very capable, otherwise they would be impossible to find if they were hiding in such a remote and dangerous place.

The guards tied up all the horses at this moment, and left a few people with so many horses to ride around the road and pick them up at the other end of the cliff. It is not safe for people to be on horses when the road above goes down, so it is safer to leave a large part of the horses and only a few people to take them down.

These horses left first, and went to pick them up at the destination of Xiayi Pavilion. The others were about to start descending with ropes. The height should be lower, otherwise the rope will not be long enough and the landing will be dangerous."

Siyang looked at the distance between the rope and the bottom, and then said: "Put the rope away, we'll talk about it after walking for a while."

So dozens of people started to walk down the mountain path in a quick and unified manner. There were still some places where people did not leave for a long time. The trees had blocked the road. The guards opened a road in front and walked for more than half an hour. , just arrived at another platform, Hai Ying and the others looked at the marks on the tree based on the results of the previous two days of investigation and said: "My lord, this time it's okay."

Siyang nodded, Haiying and Yanyi worked together to prepare the ropes, and then went down a few times first. After confirming that there was no problem underground, Siyang put his arms around Qinhui's waist and landed on the flat ground at the bottom of the cliff like flying. After packing up the ropes, he walked into a small path.

This road is slightly wider and smoother because there are many people walking on it. Another possibility is that they usually transport iron ore along this road that can lead to the outside.

Thinking of these Qin Hui's eyes are slightly cold, the Li family of Li Zhifu is afraid that others will not know that their Li family has military power. Iron ore is basically a weapon in Qiguo except for agricultural tools. At best, people use an iron pot, scissors and the like. This iron mine has not been reported to the government at all, so there is a big problem here.

Soon they approached the iron mine, probably because there are few people here, so the people inside are noisy, and there are many clanging and mining sounds.

It is estimated that this iron ore does not need to be excavated too deep. If you look at it from a distance, this place is a cave, and it can be mined directly. This is the luck of Zhifu Li. The current mining conditions in Qiguo will be very troublesome.

"Everyone is so lazy, isn't it? Why don't you hurry up, are you looking for a fight? Ah, hurry up, a group of lazy pigs, I tell you that if you don't mine ten pieces of ore today, you can't even think about it." Eat, hurry up!"

It was probably the same person as the Skin Soldier, and there were all kinds of whipping sounds as they shouted and drank, but the person who was beaten didn't make any sound.

Another skin picker also yelled: "Hurry up, I'm in a bad mood today. If you don't hurry up, I won't give you food for a few days, and you are also criminals in Qiguo. You are all sinners. Death A few of them have also reduced the burden on the country, and once you enter here, you don’t even think about going out, so hurry up and work!"

There was another crackling sound of whips, and someone inside shouted: "Don't beat me, stop beating me, I'm just a scholar, I was framed by someone, and the magistrate refused to uphold justice, and sentenced me to this place, You guys are really deceiving people too much, too much!"

A young man with a dark complexion was trying to reason, but this enraged Li Zhifu's skinning soldiers even more. He went up and beat him with a whip. An old man beside the young man rushed over and said, "Don't beat me, don't beat me any more!" , he is just a child, if he is framed in the academy, he will not be beaten to death, please do yourself a favor, we have a total of hundreds of people here, now there are only a few dozen people left, stop beating, stop beating ,"
