On the official road leading to Chang'an at Fuchengyi, the Ministry of Industry and his party are resting! This time I hurried to Chang'an, just to prepare for the construction of the summer palace, and the saint urged him too tightly.

No, halfway to the road, people are sleepy and tired.

Suddenly, the sound of chasing came from a fork in the road, and from a distance, I saw a man running in front of him on horseback, and a group of people chasing behind.

Seeing this, the leading lieutenant immediately gave an order.

"Alert, enter the fan defense, crossbowmen ready."

According to the order, all the soldiers under his command entered the combat state, all bows and crossbows were wound, and they were deployed in a fan-shaped defensive state.

The man riding the horse in front of him soon came to the front, and the white clothes on his body were already stained red with blood, and he felt that he was hurt a lot.

"Let this man go and keep on guard.

The people chasing behind were holding bows and crossbows in their hands, and because of the slight distance, they didn't notice that it was the officers and soldiers who intercepted them.

He kept shouting, "Don't let him run!."

There were about one hundred and fifty paces left, and there was no intention of stopping, so he continued to charge this side, and this one was already within the range of the crossbow.

The leading lieutenant shouted loudly when he saw that the people were so rampant.

"Fat!"

Dozens of crossbows were fired at the same time, and more than a dozen people on horseback fell off their horses and fell to the ground.

The soldiers in the back row, rushing up is a burst of mending knives, the rich city of Chang'an is less than a hundred miles, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, dare to be so presumptuous, in such a situation, they are all killed.

There were already soldiers who stopped the horses of the people coming in front, and after checking them, they immediately came over to report to the leading captain.

The lieutenant came over, and when the visitor came close to check, he saw that it was a young man in his twenties, with several places on his body, and an arrow in his back, and his expression was extremely depressed, and he could still run on horseback, all supported by one breath.

The lieutenant did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the medical officer to deal with it, and when he looked back, he went to report to the squire of the Ministry of Engineering.

"Lang Shilang, he didn't die."

"I'll go take a look."

The squire of the Ministry of Works stepped forward and took a closer look at the visitor, the situation was indeed not good, and the medical officer was briefly treating the knife wound on his arm.

"Who are the people chasing you?"

The young man saw that the people around him were all wearing official uniforms, and there were soldiers in charge of guarding around him, his expression relaxed a little, but his mouth was still bleeding, and he felt that it was difficult to speak.

After a slight pause, he took a breath, stopped the medical officer who was treating his wounds, freed his hand, and took out a small cloth bag from his arms tremblingly.

The captain hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, and then presented it to the squire.

When the waiter received it, he felt heavy, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised, this is Shajin! Hurry up and fasten the cloth bag and carry it in your arms.

Just as the squire wanted to continue asking where the young man was from, he fainted due to the severity of his injuries.

"Medic, will you survive?"

"Lang Shilang, the injuries are not serious, they are all flesh wounds, the problem is not big, but the arrow wound in the back needs to be settled down before it can be rescued, and it is not very convenient on the official road."

"In the future, the person will be carried into the carriage, Captain Xu, you and Fang Langzhong, take someone to rush to send this person to Fuchengyi immediately, Tong Medical Officer, you also follow, you must cure this person."

"Dispose of these corpses by the way."

The lieutenant and the medical officer went to receive the order, and Lang Shilang explained some things to Fang Langzhong, and then the two groups of people separated, rushed all the way to Chang'an, and returned to Fucheng all the way.

As soon as Fang Langzhong arrived at Fucheng Station, after settling down a little, he immediately rushed to Fucheng County Ya to meet Fucheng Ling Tomchen.

According to Lang Shilang's explanation, this Tomson is his own person, and many things can be discussed, and there is no problem.

Seeing Fang Langzhong, Tang County was also shocked!

"Fang Langzhong, didn't you follow Lang Shilang back to Chang'an yesterday, why did you come back again, something happened."

"The squire has returned to Chang'an, I'll stay to deal with some other things, find a safe place, and the squire has other explanations."

Tang Xian saw that what Xu Langzhong said was so serious, so he hurried to the back hall, left and right, and then asked.

"Fang Langzhong, why are you so cautious?"

Lieutenant General Xu Lang said about the official road.

Then he said to Tang County: "The waiter explains, you must save this person." ”

"Why didn't the squire bring this person back to Chang'an?"

"The stakes are very high, the squire is worried about his injury, so he will be placed in Fucheng first, in addition, this matter still needs to be bothered by Tang County, you and I need to complete the things arranged by the squire."

"In the post station, people come and go, or another place, it is more appropriate."

"Tang County is the parent official here, and everything is arranged by Tang County."

"Whereever, run errands for the waiter, don't hesitate."

The book is brief, and under the arrangement of Tang County, Fang Langzhong and the others were all arranged in a safe place, and the medicines required by the medical officer were procured together.

Under the care of the medical officer, the young man soon woke up, but he was still not in good spirits, which should be the cause of excessive blood loss.

After Fang Langzhong and Tang Xian heard that this young man had woken up, they felt that they should inquire about something, so they wore civilian clothes and came to the hospital bed together.

"Where are you from, and what is your last name?"

"I am a person from Lujiazhuang in Fucheng, and my surname is Li Mingming! What are the two? ”

"This is the one who saved you on the official road, and I am the county magistrate of this county."

Li Minghu looked at Fang Langzhong suspiciously.

Fang Langzhong knew what Li Ming was thinking and said.

"We rescued you together, before you fell unconscious, the one you saw was my boss, who had returned to Chang'an beforehand, and asked me to arrange for you to recuperate in Fucheng."

Li Ming wanted to get up and salute, after all, this was a life-saving benefactor and the county order.

Fang Langzhong stopped Li Ming: "Don't get up, the arrow wound on your body has not healed, and you need to recuperate." ”

"Thank you both for saving your life."

"By coincidence, I met him on the pipeline, and I saved it by the way."

"By the way, who are those people chasing you?"

"I don't know, I guess it's someone who wants to get rich."

Fang Lang asked in a low voice.

"Where did you get the sand gold on you?"

For these two life-saving benefactors, Li Ming is still very grateful, it seems that that place is not something he can touch, a belt of sand gold, almost let himself die in Huangquan, it is better to report to the official family.

"There's a gold mine in Tongguan."

"Gold mines, how did you find them?"

"I am from Longxi, I came to my uncle thousands of miles away, and when I was in Longxi, I met a businessman and told me."

"Tell me more!"

"When I was from Longxi, I met a merchant who came from Luoyang and went to the Western Regions to sell silk! At that time, he was in a torrential rain, and he happened to come to my house to take shelter from the rain.

The goods I brought need to be dried, so I have been in my house for a long time. I feel that this business is estimated to be lost, and when I chat, I complain! I could only keep consoling, and while drunk, I said something offensive to the court. “

"The status of the merchants in this dynasty is indeed not high, and the descendants are not yet able to take the imperial examination, they have a heavy profit in their lives, and they even dare to ignore the laws of the court for things that are very risky.

This businessman has traveled south and north, and he has a lot of knowledge! When he passed through Tongguan, he picked up a piece of dog's head gold by a small river, and he said that if there is a dog's head gold, then along the mountain, you will find sand gold, and in the deep mountains, there may be gold mines. “

"At the time, I thought he was nonsense, but he took out the dog's head gold, and I believed it! The veins are generally owned by the imperial court and are not allowed to be mined by private individuals.

Therefore, he complained a lot about this matter, saying that whoever discovers it first should enjoy the right of first exploitation, and even if it is expropriated by the imperial court, a certain share capital should be given! At that time, I laughed when I heard it, and I still didn't dare to say anything about the Tang Sudden Imperial Court."

"Where is this merchant now?"

"It can be regarded as his ill-fated fate, because of the heavy rain delayed the trip, in a hurry to travel west, in the valley not far from my home encountered a mudslide, the entire horse team was buried in it, no one was spared."

Tang Xianling sighed, "It's really a ill-fated person." “

"Did this businessman tell Li Lang about the specific place where he found Jinsha?"

"This merchant said that he passed through a place called Tongyu, and found the dog's head gold, because the merchant was in a hurry, and the mountain was dangerous, he wanted to explore one or two more when he wanted to return."

"If you know the gold mine information, why don't you report it?"

"I'm far away in Longxi, I don't know much about Guanzhong, and what Shang Jia said is not necessarily true, how dare I report it?"

When Fang Langzhong heard it, it was the same reason! It is indeed inappropriate to report it without implementation.

"Then where did the sand gold come from on you?"

"After defecting to my uncle, after a few years, I slowly settled down, and I remembered what Shang Jia said back then, and with curiosity, I decided to visit Tongguan.

After several inquiries, I finally found the place of Tongyu, which is very similar to the terrain mentioned by Shang Jia, and I searched around, but I did not find the dog's head gold.

I was really unwilling, so I walked up the valley and found a small river, there was a lot of sand gold in the river, it is estimated that this is the place that Shang Jia said at that time, after a few days of hard work, finally collected a small bag.

Because I didn't have much dry food with me, and the situation in the mountains was unknown, I was going back to Fucheng! ”

"And what's going on with the group of people chasing you?"

"On the way back to Fucheng, I rested in an inn, because I was carrying the golden sand, I was happy, and I was still a little uneasy, and I often took it out to see if it was lost, maybe it was discovered by the hostel with bad intentions, so it attracted this group of strongmen."

"Can you still find this place now?"

"Of course, I can map the land of sand and gold."

"Okay, there is Lao Li Gongzi, you rest first."

Li Ming knew very well in his heart that if he hadn't taken out the bag of sand gold at the beginning, it was estimated that these people would not have saved themselves.

The purpose of saving themselves is for the origin of Sha Jin, if they are still hiding, then it is estimated that they will take measures.

After Fang Langzhong discussed with Tang County, Tang County ordered someone to bring pen and ink and asked Li Ming to draw the location of the gold mine.

He repaired a letter and sent someone to Chang'an to report to the Ministry of Works.
