If there are really people in Wei County who are mining gold privately, then the matter is not an ordinary trouble. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info 'An Ran rubbed his temples, and Adu and Li Tian both stood quietly, this matter had a great impact on everyone, and no one spoke.

An Ran thought for a while, and said in an extremely cautious tone, "Li Tian, you tell the matter from the beginning, and tell me in detail what you asked from 'Song Hai'. Let me think about it again. ”

"Yes, sir. In the morning, you ordered me to deal with the matter of 'Song Hai', and I used some means, but I didn't expect that 'Song Hai' was very strict-mouthed, and he withstood the severe punishment, and he didn't ask anything. Or Mr. Luo has a way, I don't know what kind of drugs he used to control people's words and deeds, so that 'Song Hai' took the initiative to explain the matter clearly. Speaking of this, Li Tian seemed to think of Luo Shengyi's method, his body trembled, his eyes were full of fear and jealousy, he pursed his lips, paused, and continued, "According to this 'Song Hai', he is a side descendant of the Song clan, the three major clans in Wei County, and his real name is Song Minghai. A few years ago, he was sent by the patriarch of the Song clan to contact some robbers, changed his name and surname, and changed his face to become the second leader of the relatively large Wuxia Mountain bandit gang near Wei County, and secretly did some unsightly things for the Song family. Among them, the death of Xu County Commander of Wei County was personally led by him to kill people, the reason is because when Xu County Commander was investigating the death of his predecessor Zhan County Order, he followed the vine and found out about the private gold mining of several major clans in Wei County. ”

"My lord, this gold mine was discovered in Wenjing for seven years, and it has been seven years now. This gold mine is of good quality and produces a lot of gold. However, Song Minghai has always been in charge of outside matters, so Song Minghai doesn't know much about the gold mine. However, from Song Minghai's words, it seems that they are acting so rampantly, they should rely on something, and there are people in the court behind them. The subordinates also asked who the people behind them were, but they acted cautiously and rigorously, and the only people who could contact the people above were the patriarchs of each family, and the other clansmen only knew that there were people above. Li Tian said everything he knew in a low and calm voice, talking about the people behind them, with a worried look on his face, looking at An Ran nervously, and sincerely worried about An Ran's situation.

After listening to Li Tian's words, An Ran looked serious, and seriously thought about the books and laws he had read since he came to the Daqing Dynasty over the years. It is recorded that as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a special control agency for mineral resources. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the state of Chu forbade private gold mining. Anyone who discovers illegal gold mining is punished with capital punishment. In "Han Feizi's Inner Chu Shuo", it is recorded that "the land of Jingnan, Lishui, Zhongshengjin." There are many people stealing gold, and the prohibition of gold mining is to be lost in the city. "At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the feudal system was implemented, allowing the feudal princes to develop their own mining, so that salt and iron were controlled by the powerful clans. In the early Tang Dynasty, private gold mining was also prohibited, and later there was a period of private mining of gold, silver and copper. It's all the same as the experience of the plane in my previous life.

Up to now, the Daqing Dynasty has implemented an official mining policy. This policy is consistent with the official mining policy implemented by the Ming Dynasty in the previous life. The government is responsible for mining and smelting iron, copper, lead, tin and other minerals, and the private sector can only mine other relatively unimportant minerals, and must obtain the consent of the government and pay certain taxes. At that time, the dynasty even issued a clear order, "Those who privately fry gold and silver mines by the military and civilians will be punished with capital punishment and their families will be relocated." If there are those who flee and refuse to accept the questioning, the nearby officers and soldiers will be transferred to suppress the bandits. ”

It can be seen that these wealthy families can risk their lives and take risks to violate the laws of the imperial court, which shows that this gold mine is extremely profitable. As a result, they were able to mine gold for seven years without being discovered and exposed, and the energy of the people behind such a bold murder of the imperial court officials was very large, and it was very likely that they were high-ranking officials of the imperial court. An Ran calmed down, analyzed them one by one, and found that his situation was extremely bad.

This time, they sent people to rob and kill themselves, and they must have planned it a long time ago. If they know that their plan has failed, they will definitely send someone to kill them again in order to prevent their deeds from being discovered.

Thinking about it like this, An Ran didn't have a good heart, and asked directly, "Li Tian, did Song Minghai explain, if the robbery of us was successful this time, when would he contact that side?"

Li Tian thought for a while and said, "It should be contacted today." My lord, what do you think?" Li Tian hurriedly asked.

Even Adu on the side turned his head and looked at Enron eagerly.

An Ran turned sideways and said bluntly, "I'm afraid that they won't be able to receive the information from Song Minghai, and they will send people to kill us when the time comes." Yu Li and the others are still seriously injured and unconscious, and you also have a lot of injuries on your body, if someone really comes, we are afraid that we will not be able to resist it. ”

"Now, my lord, what should we do now? or not, you better leave first, and we will resist it when the time comes. When Li Tian heard that someone would come to kill them, he was anxious, and he blurted out the words of persuading An Ran to hide.

"How can I do that, let's not say that I am an official appointed by the imperial court, and I can't leave without permission. What's more, you are all injured all over your body, and you are all injured to protect me, how can I leave you alone and just run for your life?" An Ran disagreed, and said in a resolute tone, "Don't mention this again." ”

"But don't worry. I've figured out a solution. After a pause, An Ran's face stretched with a hint of a smile. Knowing that he was doing it for his own good, my heart warmed and I was very moved.

An Ran beckoned to the two of them, and the three of them got together, thinking about each other like this.
