Chapter 61
At this moment, someone shouted loudly: "Have you found them?"

"no!"

"Continue to search! Uncle Yuan said that if you live, you need to see people, and if you die, you need to see corpses. Hurry up and look for them!"

"Here!"

As the sound of horseshoes went away, Mu Guizi said, "If they find out, none of us will be alive. Changsun Wuji will take our skin off!"

Ni Tu looked at this man who was very similar to Mu Guizi, and couldn't help admiring Cheng Yaojin's long-term plan.

He had long kept this guy who looked like King Wu by his side in case of emergency.

Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, so you will be prepared for no danger.Cheng Yaojin's strategy of using troops is really impressive.

"Come on, if you want to pick it up, it's also your skin. Tell me the truth, did you bully the eldest grandson Wuji's wife, so he hates you so much?"

"It's... hard to say!" Mu Guizi just wanted to say something, but he was still ashamed to speak, and swallowed the words.

"I won't force you! Now you and I have to live, there is only one place to go."

"really?"

Seeing Ni Tu nodding his head, Mu Guizi was very happy.

"Do you have Lu Guogong's token on you?"

"The token? Why do you want to bring the token?"

"Nonsense, how can you leave empty-handed if you ask someone to do something!"

"Oh, yes!" Mu Guizi said as he took out a gold ingot the size of a steamed bun from his pocket.

Obediently, a thousand taels of gold?
The word "Lu" is impressively engraved under the gold ingot, which is the identity token of Duke Lu.

"Okay! With this thing, things will be easy!" Ni Tu said and came to the river, and pulled out the dagger that had been inserted into the sand.

Ni Tu looked at the dagger happily and turned to face Mu Guizi.

Seeing Ni Tu's obsequious smile, Mu Guizi trembled in fright: "You...what are you going to do!"

After a long time, Ni Tu slowly woke up from the joy, looked up and saw the trembling Mu Guizi and said:

"Look! Magnetite!"

From then on, Ni Tu could imagine that there would be hundreds of troops rolling iron bars by the Yellow River stalls.

The substance adsorbed on the iron rod is not pure iron, but magnetite.

After collecting and filtering, and then going through dozens of rounds of forging, firing and hammering, pure iron can be extracted.

Like most minerals, magnetite is also found in mud and river sand.The reason for this is that its own density is relatively high.Under the action of river sand transport and sedimentation accumulated over time, it was slowly enriched together.

Someone once conducted a survey, and the iron ore in the sediment of the Yellow River beach can reach more than half of the country.

So, how could Ni Tu not be excited when he found this iron ore.

"Lu Guogong has been complaining about the occupation of the iron ore by the Changsun family. Although the quality of the iron ore is not good, it can be refined into good iron with multiple rounds of hammering."

Ni Tu talked to himself along the way, Mu Guizi was not infected by his excitement.

The two came all the way to a mountain peak on the edge of the Qinling Mountains, where a small temple stands impressively.

There are not many pilgrims, and the temple looks very cold.

The clothes worn by the monk were also patched a lot.

Therefore, as soon as Ni Tu and Mu Guizi came up with their horses, they knew that there was room and board business to do, so they rushed forward to say hello.

Without further ado, Ni Tu put the cloth bag wrapped with gold ingots in the young monk's hand, and said, "I want to see the abbot, I have something important to ask."

The little monk thought that the other party gave him a steamed bun, and was quite annoyed, just opened a corner, and suddenly found that it was a big gold ingot, and hurriedly became respectful: "Almsgiver, please wait in the main hall inside, and the little monk will go to Abbot Qing to come out. "

Not long after, the little monk ran back and said, "You two benefactors, please come here."

Seeing that the abbot had ordained Mu Guizi and bestowed the dharma name "Ling Kong", Ni Tu walked alone in the forest with the abbot.

"I don't know what other orders Lu Guogong has?"

Ni Tu knew that the old monk was threatening him.

"Abbot, don't worry, Lu Guogui will send some silver taels over every year, so you don't have to extort that Lingkong monk for food and clothing. However, if soldiers or officials come to investigate, I don't know how the abbot will deal with it?"

The abbot laughed and said, "Don't worry, benefactor. A monk has no fish amulet, nor any identity. Apart from a monk, he has no secular identity. Since the spiritual space has entered my Buddhist gate, I should recite my Buddha's compassionate heart and pass my Buddha's Diamond Sutra." , don't ask about worldly affairs."

Ni Tu nodded, knowing that the contract with him had been reached.

Looking at the desolate monastery, Ni Tu said: "Recently, I will send someone to allocate some silver taels. Besides rebuilding the golden body for my Buddha, I will also rebuild the monastery and expand its scale. In addition, I will allocate some land from the surrounding area to the temple. you."

The old monk put his palms together hurriedly to express his gratitude.

With such a promise, Ni Tu didn't feel any pain in his flesh.

Anyway, Lu Guogong just told himself to handle the matter properly, and he didn't say how much money he would spend.

Besides, I have contributed so much property to his Cheng family, and I didn't say how many shares or shares I gave myself.

His money is not spent in vain.

Back at the camp, Cheng Yaojin and Jia Er have not returned yet.

Ni Tu told Cheng Zheng everything he had seen and heard in a day, as well as the location of the temple.

Cheng Zheng also had a solemn expression on his face.

Ni Tu handed the hand-painted map of the Yellow River to Cheng Zheng.

"Here, I'll help you with another property. Make more iron rods like this, and send people to keep rolling big iron rods to your heart's content. The Cheng family will also own a big mine just like the eldest grandson."

"Pick up an iron stick? What's it for?"

Ni Tu dumped a bag of gravel on the table, took out the dagger and rolled it on it, the gravel was absorbed to the blade.

"This...is this iron mine? Come on!"

After Cheng Zheng gave orders to his servants, he slapped Ni Tu on the shoulder with his big hand.

"Haha, you are really a blessing to our Cheng family! My mother is already happy from ear to ear for the newly acquired property. This time I added an iron mine, hehe, my mother will be happy to marry my sister Cheng Huahua Give you."

Ni Tu just took a sip of his wine, but he coughed violently after being choked by Cheng Zheng's words.

It was night, and Li Zhi was rubbing his forehead with his eyes closed.

A Habayashi guard knelt on the ground, telling the news that he had found in a day:
"Uncle Yuan had a conflict with Duke Lu, and in the end he pried open the coffin and asked Wu Zuo to verify the real person and confirm that the person in the coffin was King Wu. But Uncle Yuan still sent people to hunt down the two escaped people. According to the investigation, One of those two people is named Mu Guizi, and their family is in Wangjing Village, Chang'an, but investigations revealed that Mu Guizi's family has disappeared without a trace in recent days."

"Missing?"

"All missing."

"What about the other person?"

"The other person's name is Ni Tu."

"Ni Tu?"

"The strange thing is that he left Chang'an with Mu Guizi, but Ni Tu returned to the camp at the time of You. At that time, he was the only one who returned. According to investigations, before the King of Wu hanged himself, he shouted... shouted..."

"Shout what?"

"The king of Wu yelled, 'If the Zongshe has a spirit, the eldest grandson family will be wiped out!'"

Li Zhi's head was buzzing.The appearance of Chang'an Palace in the early morning appeared in his mind. Li Ke must have cried bitterly, standing on a high stool, and shouted: "If the ancestors and ancestors have spirits in the sky, the Changsun family will be completely destroyed." .”

Afterwards, Li Ke stuck his head into Bai Lingzi...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... hurry up and call the imperial physician! The imperial physician!"
