Chapter 49: The Gold Mine
An Ran came out of the room where 'Song Hai' was being held and called the shopkeeper, "You can bring a few basins of hot water to the rooms of a few of my companions and help them wipe them." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This is a reward for you. An Ran commanded lightly, took out a piece of broken silver from the purse on his waist, and threw it to the little second brother.
"Ah, well, guest. The shopkeeper took the broken silver with a smile, put it on the mat with his hand, and secretly bit it with his teeth, hey, this is worth half a year's salary, distinguished guest, you have to serve well, the shopkeeper made a decision in his heart.
An Ran put his hands behind his back, first entered Yu Li's room, saw that he was still asleep, looked at his wounds, stretched out his hand to input the spiritual power he had cultivated into Yu Li's wounds, slowly nourishing his flesh and blood, speeding up the recovery of his body, and eliminating the dark wounds. An Ran didn't dare to input too much spiritual energy, after all, Yu Li was just an ordinary man, and his body couldn't withstand too much spiritual power. After that, An Ran used the same method to go to the room of the other two guards and help them recover from their wounds.
Although Enron is selfish and cold, he also cares about those who are sincere to him, and he is very protective of his shortcomings. Just looking at the spiritual power he has worked so hard to cultivate on Yu Li, you know that he is selfish and cold, but he is not ruthless.
"How is it, but what did you find out?" An Ran sat at the table, holding a teacup, sipping the tea carefully, and asked Adu in front of him. Adu was the escort given to him by Teacher An Ran, but he was a young man in his twenties, cheerful and sunny, and good at using swords.
After dealing with the 'robbers' that day, several people hastily treated their wounds and went directly to Li County, the county seat south of Wei County. Originally, according to the route arrangement, An Ran and their team went all the way south, and continued north through Li County to reach Wei County. I already had the idea of resting and packing my luggage in Li County, but now in order to treat their injuries, I have to stay in Li County for a few more days. An Ran knew that he would have to stay in Li County for a while, so he sent Adu, who was relatively lightly injured, to collect the specific situation of Wei County, where he was going to take office.
An Ran thought a lot about this attack, he has been kind to others for many years and has made a lot of friends, although there are also people who don't like him, but it is just because of some small disputes, and it is not enough to kill himself for this. In the Shen Mansion, he and his brother Shen Zijue grew up together, had a close relationship, brotherly love, and made it clearer that he would not compete with him for the property of the Shen Mansion. is also respectful to the eldest lady, properly hidden, not to hinder the eyes of the eldest lady, it can be said that he has done a good job over the years, at least the eldest lady rarely targets herself. Ruled out one by one, then the reason for this attack was only because of his own appointment as the county magistrate of Wei County.
So what secrets are hidden in this Wei County, so that they want to kill themselves. An Ran stretched out his finger and tapped on the table, when he came, he also did a survey of the place he was going to govern, but it was only a medium-sized county town, neither rich nor poor, and there were no special products in the county. The vacancy in the county order in this county was obtained by my father for his second uncle, and if he went there, even if he didn't do anything, he would successfully reach the end of his term. So what's wrong?
"Let's talk about it, what secrets are hidden in this Wei County. An Ran took a sip of tea, frowned, raised his head, and looked at Adu.
"My lord, my subordinates disguised themselves as guests today, went to several restaurants in Li County, knocked on the side and knocked on everyone's understanding of Wei County, and found nothing abnormal. The subordinates were afraid that the information collected would not be accurate, so they also went around the downtown area, and the answer they got was the same. But my subordinates also found one thing, so much so that it felt very similar to us. Adu said about his day's gains, as if he had thought of something, and said with some doubts.
"Oh, what's the matter, let's hear it, maybe that's the answer we're looking for. An Ran heard Adu say that he had made a discovery, sat up straight, and hurriedly asked.
"Yes, sir. According to what I have investigated today, Wei County has experienced three county orders in six years. And I want to talk about the first two county commanders, the first county commander surnamed Zhan, who died of a sudden wind cold after serving for only a year, and the detailed information I got is that his only son, who had just turned 16 years old, also contracted the wind cold and died after he died of illness. Although there is nothing to doubt about serving his father and contracting the cold, his subordinates always feel that this is inappropriate. Besides, after the death of the second county commander, after the death of the county commander, the imperial court sent the second county commander Xu Qing to take up the post, who was a Jinshi in the ninth year of Wenjing. This Xu County Commander came to the county to do some work that is conducive to the people's livelihood, but unfortunately, when Xu County Commander was about to complete his two-year term, when he went out to explore the county countryside, he encountered robbers and was actually killed by robbers. After this incident, the imperial court also sent troops to wipe out all the robbers in the place where Xu Xianling was killed, but the reason for Xu Xianling's murder only said that it was to retaliate against Xu Xianling. My lord, my subordinates feel that this Xu County Order and we are all robbers, and there may be something related to this. Adu said everything he had found in one breath, and seriously pointed out the suspicious places where he felt inappropriate, and then quietly looked at An Ran and thought.
An Ran's expression was solemn, he was silent for a while, turned the tea cup in his hand, and then said faintly, "Needless to say, the death of Zhan County Ling, the death of the only son of the Zhan family, and the killing of Xu County Ling by the robbers in revenge, must have been killed because they found something." In this way, it can also prove that this Wei County must be hiding a huge secret, and our robbery is related to some people in Wei County. ”
"How is it possible, they, they are too bold to even dare to kill the court officials, and they don't know it once. Even Adu, who had already noticed this, not only gasped after An Ran pointed it out directly, these people were really lawless.
"What is impossible there, these people dare to do anything for the sake of profit. An Ran sighed and put down the teacup in his hand, "Hey, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing." "Can you still let me cultivate well, An Ran was troubled in his heart, he left the capital because he hated trouble, and he encountered this kind of big trouble in just a few months. But fortunately, Ji Shuyi just gave birth to a child, and the children are still young and can't go far away, so she didn't bring them here, otherwise I don't know what will happen. Thinking of this, An Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his heart was full of fear.
"My lord, my subordinates have something to report. Li Tian's rough voice came from outside the door.
"Come in. An Ran said.
"My lord, the big thing is not good, there are people in Wei County who are privately mining gold mines. Li Tian came in and looked at the room, with a cautious, uneasy, and fearful face, and said softly.
"What!" What?"
An Ran and Adu were shocked at the same time.
An Ran stood up, his face changed again and again, and he rubbed his eyes, his eyes full of complicated colors. For a while, the room was very quiet.
