Chapter 47 The Gold Mine

Long Wanzong's death is like a toad that jumped into a calm pond and stirred up a foot of spring water, smashed the moonlight and cast it into a lake surface, and countless bubbles rose up in the water.

The first one is that everyone gossips about the cause of his death, why he and Sheng Yu got off the hook when they were on the dry road; there is also the sudden outbreak of the flower and willow disease, who did not know who infected the other, and took Long Wanzong's life.

So far, the andrology expert who treats sexually transmitted diseases in Beijing has suddenly come to visit like a cloud, and he no longer sees the doctor secretly as usual.

The second case was Lord Yan, who was then the Minister of Criminal Affairs, suddenly submitted a statement to the Holy Majesty, saying that there had been new progress in the case of Fei Lu's human trafficking case, which had been raging all over the place some time ago; There are countless connections between them.

Many officials with a keen sense of political smell shook their heads, feeling that Yan Taoxue was really kicked out of his head by a donkey: The Holy Majesty has already closed this case himself, why did he bring it up again for no reason?
Moreover, the imperial concubine was sad at this time, so he directed and acted the play "Down with the Stone", that is, there is absolutely no hope of being the successor of the old minister of punishment.

The third one is the most thought-provoking. Suddenly there was a rumor that among the many unreasonable things Long Wanzong did, one was really daring. He dared to mine gold mines privately!

This is a serious crime of treason and treason!Even if the emperor likes him again, it is impossible to remain indifferent to this kind of thing.

As for Du Heng, Xue Feibai, the eighth prince Zhou Si, and the tenth prince Zhou Yan, there are two worlds:
The Eighth Prince smashed a whole set of hard and precious huanghuali wood furniture in the mansion to pieces. Among the scattered sawdust, a strong woody fragrance filled the nose, so strong that it was suffocating.

After smashing this set of hard wood worth thousands of gold, Zhou Si sat on the ground panting, looking at a grimace pattern on the broken wood, Zhou Si only felt that it was a silent ridicule.

Yan Tao's school is obviously in the palm of his hand, they haven't started to recruit, they directly cut off their backs and turned to the prince who has no ambitions.

Zhou Si had no doubt that if they dared to talk about his thoughts, he would definitely confuse their attention and release more black material about Long Wanzong.Next time, it will be his eighth master's party who will bear the brunt of the dirty things on the table.

And that dead man Long Wanzong, how did the rumors about their conspiracy to dig a gold mine leak out!

Now is the time when money is short, with Jin Yiwei from the father's side watching, the third prince and Zhou Xian who looks like a cunning loach are also watching, how dare you make any big moves within a year or two!

Fortunately, it was just vague rumors, and there was no real fact that Long Wanzong discovered the gold mine; even if there was, they couldn't find where...

Zhou Si leaned against the wall as if exhausted, and raised his hand to force himself to smooth the "Sichuan character pattern" between his eyebrows. Looking at his younger brother who was standing upright and practicing calligraphy, he felt that he was really calm.

The tenth prince, Zhou Yan, threw away the broken lake brush with a blank face, and replaced it with a white jade one, and continued to write poems through the back of the paper:

All things are born to support people, and the world still complains about the inhumane nature.

I don't know that locusts and beetles are all over the world, and the suffering is exhausted, and the king and ministers are exhausted.

There are high and low in a person's life, and the noble will always be blessed by heaven.

The wealth and honor of life are always determined by the sky, and the poverty of grassroots people is condemned by the sky.

Suddenly, a lunatic sharpened his knife at night, and the emperor's star fluttered and fluttered high.

From now on, there is no need to spare the labor of killing people.

Those who are disloyal can be killed! Those who are not filial can be killed!
The unkind man can be killed! The unrighteous man can be killed!
Disrespectful, unwise, and untrustworthy, King Daxi said, kill, kill, kill!
I was not born to compete, and the capital is lazy to build a golden platform,
The number one scholar and all the officials are like dogs, always under the knife.

Order the four princes under his command that there is no need to seal the sword and dagger to break the city.

Tree this stele on the top of the mountain instead of heaven, and those who defy the sky will die even if they kneel and die!
The words were drawn on iron with silver hooks. Zhou Si looked at it and felt that the rice paper was pale, like grass after the frost that had been beaten by the autumn wind, and it was about to be overwhelmed by the black characters.

"My tenth brother's calligraphy has improved again." Zhou Si patted Zhou Yan behind himself, talking dryly.

Zhou Yan's voice could not distinguish between emotions and anger: "Brother, have we been fooled by someone?"

Zhou Si also nodded, "Ever since Zhou Xian lacked the biggest helper of the Lin family, I don't know if he has a new counselor who will attack fiercely and bite whoever he catches..."

"Really? Mynah thinks he did it?"

"It can't be the third child, right? Hurting the enemy eight hundred and self-defeating one thousand? No matter how stupid he is, he doesn't seem to be so stupid."

Zhou Yan shook his head, he always felt that this way was not like the nephew who took one step to see ten steps...

"But brother ten, are you sure about the gold mine, they can't find it?"

"Myna, don't worry. I've told Long Wanzong thousands of times. If any clues are leaked, it's a serious crime of confiscating the family and destroying the ancestors. He can handle it clearly."

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

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

"Red soil?" Xue Fei stared at the thin layer of terracotta soil with beautifully shaped peach blossom eyes.

Not too stupid.Du Heng thought to himself.

"There are three kinds of red soil in the south, brick red soil, crimson red soil and red soil." Xue Fei 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. Those places are not barren lands where gold mines can be developed." After finishing speaking, he touched it— —

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

Xue Fei asked happily: "Then where is the red soil?"

"Southern Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi, and southeast Fujian are all distributed."

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

Xue Feibai had a bitter face: "You play with me, Du Heng, it will take us three to five years to visit all the places you mentioned!"

"I think there is a high probability that it is in Yunnan, southern Yunnan."

Xue Fei's white face turned from cloudy to sunny again, jumping back and forth between happiness and disappointment, "How do you say?"

"There are very few records of gold mining in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions. I remember the "Fangyongfu Jinkeng Edict" and "Ling Wai Dai Answer" in the Tang Dynasty and the "Song History Shihuo Zhi" in the Song Dynasty. Gold is produced, but it’s only here, and it doesn’t have much reference value.”

"What about Fujian?"

"Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasties Qi said: 'Gold is born everywhere. Liang, Yi, and Ning are mostly found in the sand....Jianping and Jin'an also have gold sand that comes out of the stone'..."

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

Du Heng nodded.
