Chapter 142: Silver Mine
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Xie Cheng was late, and as soon as he came in, he frowned and asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He was about to leave just now, but Shen Qiao was suddenly taken away, Gu Xuan went down secretly, and Xie Rui and Xie Jiao went next door again, so he didn't leave.
Just now, the official carried Lai Zi over, he asked about the situation, and after giving an explanation, he walked over.
"I'll come on, I'll come on. Dad, that's ......"
Xie Jiao hurriedly told Xie Cheng about the matter.
The more he spoke, the tighter Xie Cheng's brows furrowed.
Shen Qiaoke could see that this was different from his usual frowning, but now he was really frowning.
"You take Chen Qiang back, put him in prison, and let people keep him under strict guard. Hands and feet must be locked, and you must not let him out of your sight for a moment! ”
After listening, Xie Cheng instructed the officer.
Chen Qiang, who was bound, smiled contemptuously.
"Da Zhou people, they won't be so trustworthy. Master Xie, why don't you look at me personally? ”
Chen Qiang looked at Xie Cheng and said provocatively.
Xie Cheng didn't speak, but asked the official to take the person away.
"Father, now that Wang Cheng has escaped, father should let someone find him out!"
After Chen Qiang was escorted away, Xie Rui spoke.
"Hmm. This secret way, I want to go down again, are you willing to accompany me? ”
Xie Cheng nodded, and then said.
"What are you going down for? Then Wang Chengdu ran away, Dad, let's go back, everyone hasn't had dinner yet! ”
Xie Jiao pouted dissatisfiedly.
As soon as she said this, Shen Qiao and Gu Xuan's stomachs "growled".
Shen Qiao was a little embarrassed, but Gu Xuan was very calm, and looked at Xie Chengdao: "Lord Xie, if you invite us here, will it be possible that you won't be able to provide food?" ”
Xie Cheng then remembered that everyone hadn't eaten dinner yet.
Except that Xie Jiao ran out to eat some just now and brought some back, but because Shen Qiao was taken away, they were not in the mood to eat, and it is estimated that the meal is cold now.
"Okay, I'll have someone call a table. After eating, you will go down with me. ”
After Xie Cheng finished speaking, he went out and asked the official to go to the restaurant to order a table of food.
And when the officer had received the order, he went.
Then Xie Cheng found another official outside and told them to go out and inspect to see if they could find Wang Cheng.
In the courtyard on the other side, after performing autopsies on several girls, their families also brought their bodies back.
Xie Cheng made this arrangement, and there were only four officials around him.
"Father, did you really decide to go down the tunnel? There are a lot of mechanisms in the dark tunnels. We went down twice, but we weren't sure what the road was like. ”
Seeing that Xie Cheng had finished arranging, Xie Rui spoke up.
"Well, I'd like to go down and have a look. Look at how powerful this Red people's craft is. ”
Xie Chengdao.
"Lord Xie, dare to ask Lord Xie what he means by this?"
Shen Qiao said loudly.
After Xie Cheng looked at the drawings drawn by Xie Rui just now, she hadn't forgotten the joy on her face.
What is the craftsmanship of the Red Clan?
Xie Cheng glanced at Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan smiled: "I haven't had time to tell Qiao Qiao about this." ”
"What's the matter?"
Shen Qiao was puzzled.
Xie Rui and Xie Jiao on the side didn't understand either.
Everyone looked at Gu Xuan and Xie Cheng.
"The craftsmanship of the Red people is to deal with stones, and their extermination of the clan also has a lot to do with stones."
Xie Cheng saw that there were only a few of them, two of the four officials were guarding next door, and two were guarding at the gate of the courtyard here, so he decided to tell Shen Qiao and them about it.
"Father, I know this, I just saw the painting carved in the stone room, and the carving is very good, and ordinary people can't make it."
Xie Rui said.
"Well, that's right. Not only do they have this strength, but they also have a secret channel. They are even more proficient in the hidden tunnels than they are at carving. ”
Xie Cheng nodded.
Shen Qiao knew in his heart that this underground secret passage was indeed a bit clever, they only found one secret room, three entrances and exits, but who knows how many secret rooms there are below?
And where those dark tunnels will extend, no one is sure, except for the people they make.
"Ten years ago, King Yu rebelled, and although he failed, others also escaped.
I have been in Yunzhou for several years, just to find the traces of King Yu. There was already reliable information that King Yu had a connection with one of the tribes on Baiyi's side.
It's just that I've been inquiring in many ways over the years, but I haven't been able to see which tribe it is.
At the beginning of the year, the patriarch of Baiyi came over and said that the Red Clan was gone.
I went to investigate, but there were no clues.
It was as if all of them had disappeared overnight.
Because the Red Clan is not close to other tribes, there are almost no people from other tribes around them.
Just now, I saw the murals that Riel had painted, and I suddenly had an idea in my mind. Most of this red clan is the tribe that is connected with King Yu.
The Red people are good at trapping secret roads, so they are very in awe of the mountains. Among the many tribes in Baiyi, they are the only ones who have that ability. ”
Xie Cheng said.
"What ability?"
Seeing that Xie Cheng stopped and didn't speak, Shen Qiao immediately asked.
I didn't expect this matter to have something to do with the prince's rebellion, it's really complicated to say.
"Open the mountain, dig up the silver."
Xie Cheng glanced at Shen Qiao and replied.
Shen Qiao and the others looked incredible.
"At the beginning of the year, I took people to the place where the Red tribe used to be, and I didn't find anything, but there was a very steep mountain behind their tribe, we went up, there were many holes in the mountain, and the servants laughed at me and said that the people of the Red tribe must live in the cave, but our people didn't dare to go deeper, and when they saw the map drawn by Rui'er, I understood that the mountain was a silver mountain."
Xie Cheng continued.
Shen Qiao understood.
Xie Cheng meant that there was a silver mine in the mountains behind the Red tribe, and the Red people, who were good at dealing with stones, somehow hooked up with King Yu, and then provided silver money for King Yu to rebel.
However, King Yu failed to rebel ten years ago, and the Red people disappeared at the beginning of the year, so what practice is there?
Thinking of this, Shen Qiao couldn't help frowning.
"So, I'm going down and look at those paintings again, and see if there are any other paintings elsewhere, and I want to make sure I'm right."
Xie Cheng continued on the side.
"Dad, have you caught King Yu, and we can go back to Beijing?"
Xie Jiao suddenly said happily.
Xie Cheng bent his eyebrows, revealing an expression that has rarely been shown in the past ten years, touched a few beards that were not long, and said, "Well, if you catch King Yu, this matter will be over, and we can go back to Beijing." ”
"Hey, Master Xie, it's your business! Qiaoqiao and I just promised to help you investigate the girl's disappearance, and we don't care about the rest. ”
Gu Xuan immediately cleared up the relationship between him and Shen Qiao and Xie Cheng and reminded him.
