"Young master, aren't you hurting me, you seem to have said this because I made my brothers lose their money, and I will be beaten to death by my brothers." Chen Liang touched his head and lowered his head, and said with a wry smile.

Ji Xinyu looked at Chen Liang and laughed: "Look at your little interest, each person will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, one tael is a lot, you find a way to cut this piece of silver, otherwise it will be really difficult to take it away." ”

Fortunately, the silver is relatively soft, and the knives of Chen Liang and other officers once let Ji Xinyu use them for experiments and rebuild them, which can be regarded as sharpening iron like clay, and it didn't take long for the silver to be divided into four pieces.

And Ji Xinyu took advantage of the time when they divided the silver, and went to smelt some large stones at the entrance of the cave into ore, and now Aiden's space has been occupied by tungsten, silver and some other minerals, and it can no longer hold too much ore.

Returning to the horses, he pointed to the silver ore collected by Chen Liang and the guards, and said to Chen Liang: "Bring these silver ores back as well, so that Steward He can be happy." ”

The people put the silver and silver ore into their knapsacks beside the horses and walked back slowly.

Ji Xinyu did not choose to take advantage of the night, but stayed in Lingshan Town, the largest town in the south of Lingchuan Mansion, and found an inn to live in.

The post road of Qiongzhou Station passes through Lingshan Town, and Lingshan Town has become the most lively town within a radius of dozens of miles, and many restaurants and shops have opened along the post road.

At this time, in the restaurant opposite the inn, Zhao Qingzhi, a famous gentry in Lingshan Town, was entertaining distinguished guests, and rare delicacies such as bamboo shoots and chicken breasts and roast venison on the wine table were included in it; There are also hawthorn cakes and preserved olives in Jiangnan as snacks; The silver pot containing the golden altar wind wine has not yet been poured out, and the house is full of fragrance, which makes the woman and the subordinates who accompany the wine next to it intoxicated, even in this banquet in Qiongzhou City, it can be regarded as the top.

And the distinguished guest who just sat down was Li Huai, the master of Ji Yushan, the prefect of Qiongzhou Prefecture, but Li Huai was a little distracted in the face of the table full of delicacies, he just heard a few horses' hooves, and the sound should come from four or five horses, in this small Lingshan Town, there are not many four or five horses together, and he only goes out with two people and two horses.

Out of curiosity, he got up and looked through the window, and at a glance he saw a familiar back, and then looked at the clothes of the guards behind him, Li Huai immediately recognized that this was the prince of Shu who had seen in the prefect's mansion.

Zhao Qingzhi on the side saw that Li Huai was a little distracted, so he said with a smile: "Master Li, do you have something on your mind?" Can the villain help Master Li share his worries? Although Li Huai is not an official, he works as an errand for the prefect in the prefect's yamen, and gentry like Zhao Qingzhi who want to tie up are called Li Daren.

Li Huai looked at Zhao Qingzhi and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, can you recognize the inn opposite?" ”

"Naturally, it's a despicable industry, huh?" Zhao Qingzhi looked out the window and immediately replied.

"Oh? It turned out to be the Zhao family's property? Then you can take me to have a good tour at the right time. Li Huai said with a smile.

"Li Ye wants to stay in the shop, so naturally he can't ask for it, so he will arrange it immediately." After Zhao Qingzhi finished speaking, he immediately turned around and wanted to make arrangements.

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, it's not that I want to stay overnight, but I just saw a few people, and I want to figure out the purpose of their appearance here, and I hope Brother Zhao will help." Li Huai stopped Zhao Qingzhi and said.

Zhao Qingzhi didn't react when he heard Li Huai's words, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What does Master Li want to know?" What can Qingzhi serve? ”

"As far as I've heard, these people who have just moved into the inn have built a small village more than ten miles away from here, and they probably won't stay in your town. But when they appeared here, it looked like they were going out and returning, and I had just seen a couple of full rucksacks on their horses, and I couldn't help but wonder what they were in their knapsacks. Li Huai squinted at Zhao Qingzhi and said.

"This ...... Master Li, what do you want, the villain should do his best to do it for you, but ...... Isn't it a bit insulting to steal for a guest's luggage? Zhao Qingzhi was a little embarrassed, and he didn't want to cause trouble casually, after all, if there was a theft in his Zhao family's shop, it would affect the inn's business, and even affect their Li family's reputation in Lingshan Town.

"Brother Zhao doesn't know, these people have contradicted the prefect, the prefect doesn't like these people very much, if this is done, do you say the prefect will ......." Li Huai nodded to the point.

Hearing that it was someone that the prefect Ji Yushan didn't like, Zhao Qingzhi's attitude immediately became resolute, and he got up and replied: "Since these people have offended the prefect, they are naturally not good people, Lord Li, please rest assured, I will let people do it immediately." ”

At this time, Ji Xinyu and Chen Liang had already lived in the room of the inn, Ji Xinyu and Chen Liang lived in the two adjacent rooms, and the four guards lived next door to the two of them, because they had been running for two days, and several people had not rested well, and they were going to go downstairs to eat some wine and food and rest early.

The five people came to the lobby, asked the shopkeeper to serve a table of wine and food, and began to eat and drink, just halfway through eating, Aiden told Ji Xinyu that someone had sneaked into the room of one of the guards and was stealing their luggage, which happened to be a backpack containing silver ore.

Because Chen Liang was worried about the safety of the silver nuggets, he put all the silver nuggets in his own room, which also made the thieves who came to steal the guard's room only steal the silver ore, but not the silver nuggets. And the map marking the location of the silver mine has long been received by Ji Xinyu for mining space, and the only person in this world who can get it is Aiden.

Ji Xinyu didn't make a sound, but quietly discussed with Aiden how to deal with this matter.

"Now you can choose to lead the guards to capture or kill the two thieves, and the guards still have rifles with them." Aiden said.

"Don't worry about who asked them to steal it, we just arrived in Lingshan Town, we don't know many people, and we didn't show the silver in our backpacks when we first came in, so no one should come to trouble us for no reason." Ji Xinyu said.

"Okay, I'll follow the thieves." After Aiden finished speaking, he followed Ji Xinyu's instructions and stared at the two thieves who came to steal things.

The two of them carried a big backpack and didn't go to other rooms, but just carried the backpack back to the restaurant opposite, and handed the backpack to Zhao Qingzhi, who was eating.

Aiden immediately informed Ji Xinyu of the thief's whereabouts, and Ji Xinyu said: "It turned out that Ji Yushan's master was on the other side, I said who can recognize us people at a glance, since he sees the silver ore, it is more troublesome, he will definitely find a way to find the silver ore to swallow it, Aiden, do you have any way?" ”

Aiden paused and said, "Now they can't find the blueprints, they can lose these silver ores and leave as soon as possible." ”

"No, even if you leave now, there will still be trouble, but the attraction of silver mines is still great. I have a good way to make them happy and get them to work for us for free. Ji Xinyu thought for a while and said with a smile.

"Is there another way?" Aiden didn't seem to understand, and asked puzzled.

"Don't worry, I'll go back to the room first, let's make something and come out." Ji Xinyu said confidently.

Ji Xinyu asked Chen Liang to eat first, turned around and went back to the room, and when he arrived at the room, Ji Xinyu asked Aiden to make a map, and put the map in the backpack of the room, and put a few small pieces of silver ore with high silver content with it, and after doing this, Ji Xinyu returned to the lobby to continue eating.

And the private room of the restaurant opposite was lively, Zhao Qingzhi asked people to move the backpack to Li Huai, Li Huai opened the package and took a piece of silver ore out to take a look, and quietly put it back and covered the backpack, and then waved his hand to drive out the woman and the next person who accompanied the wine.

After everyone went out, Li Huai took out a piece of silver ore and put it on the table and said to Zhao Qingzhi: "Brother Zhao, can you recognize this?" ”

"This ...... Could it be silver ore? "Zhao Qingzhi is also a big family, a well-informed person, and silver ore can still be recognized.

"It's silver ore, it seems that we want to get rich, these people don't know what shit luck they had, they actually found the silver mine, fortunately we found it in time, otherwise it would be difficult." Li Huai said with emotion.

"What's so difficult about this, Lord Li is a celebrity in front of the prefect, what mine do you want, it's not a matter of paperwork." Zhao Qingzhi said complimentally.
