Chapter Ninety-Three: You Can't Be Too Greedy

Huo Guang was very worried, because when the master asked people to refine gold, he often added a lot of things, such as silver...... It's just that after adding silver, the gold is a little whitish, and it doesn't look good after smelting.

In order to make the gold look good, a little red copper is added after the gold melts, and copper always melts later than gold, so by the time the red copper begins to melt, the gold has already turned into gold water.

At this time, it is necessary to stir constantly until the two are completely fused before pouring into the mold, and after cooling, a beautiful gold ingot will come out.

Huo Guang has done this kind of thing many times, especially when he added silver and copper to the gold, the first person to grasp the scene was the master, then Liang Weng, and now Huo Guang himself.

Huo Guang looked at Liu Ju expressionlessly and excitedly asked people to put the gold ball into the water, and after marking the traces in the wooden barrel, he carefully fished out the golden ball, and when all the water on the gold ball returned to the wooden barrel, he put eight hundred catties of gold into the wooden barrel.

The contrast is obvious, and the waterline that appears when the gold ball is placed in the barrel is much higher than the waterline that appears when the gold nugget is placed in the water, which is clear at a glance.

Seeing this scene, Huo Guang was a little desperate, seeing that the eunuchs brought two boxes of gold ingots produced by the Yun family from the main hall, all Huo Guang could do was to maintain an indifferent smile, relax the muscles of his body, and stand there loosely, completely looking like he was watching the excitement.

Liu Che looked at Huo Guang and said, "I heard that Yunlang has handed over all the family business to you, if there is an inside story, say it now, and I will be taken lightly." ”

Huo Guang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, although the experiment, if there is a problem with the gold stamped by my Yun clan, my Yun clan will bear it." ”

Liu Che said with a smile: "It is said that real gold is not afraid of fire refining, so we will use water today to weigh the loyalty of the Yun family." ”

Huo Guang smiled as before, and invited Liu Zhi to experiment.

Liu Ju looked at Huo Guang for a moment and said: "The law is ruthless, people are affectionate, don't make mistakes!" ”

Huo Guang scolded in his heart: Prime Minister Li Cai, cool official Zhao Yu, and cool official Wang Wenshu are all on the scene, at this time, I am a fool?

Although he scolded bitterly in his heart, he said in the clearest voice in his mouth: "Although Your Highness experiments, it is better to figure out some things. ”

Liu Ju nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's start!" ”

Huo Guang keenly noticed that the eyelids of the saltless Zhan standing opposite him twitched twice, and the brown head on his feet had an extra water stain.

Seeing this scene, Huo Guang was in a mood, he suddenly felt very stupid, the master had already said that the Yun family's principle is to pass money over eight layers of skin...... So, does this principle apply to others as well?

Huo Guang clearly knew that his master was not an extremely greedy person, and although he was at the level of fifty steps and a hundred steps with the Wuyan clan who also knew how to refine gold, the Yun clan would definitely be that fifty steps.

I should have thought about it just now, the gold minted by the Yun clan does not need to be compared with pure gold, as long as it is compared to the hidden gold of the Wuyan clan, it is a victory.

When the two boxes of gold were weighed on the scale, the Yun's gold collection was more than one step better than the saltless gold just by looking at the color.

Huo Guang decided not to watch on the wall anymore, but stepped forward to carefully inspect the stamps on each piece of Yun's gold, and only after making sure that it was correct, he said to Liu: "This is all gold cast by the Yun family, there is no doubt that Your Highness can start." ”

Liu Che was very satisfied with Huo Guang's rigorous behavior, and from his standpoint, it was naturally not the best for anything.

He thought so, but Zhao Yu and Wang Wenshu, two cool officials who often interrogated criminals, didn't think so.

From the beginning, the eyes of the two of them never left Huo Guang and Wuyan Zhan.

Huo Guang discovered the subtle loopholes in Wuyan Zhan's body, and similarly, Zhao Yu and Wang Wenshu were also like torches.

Huo Guang was well disguised, even the two of them didn't find anything wrong, but the change of Wuyan Zhan made the two cool officials know the results of the experiment before the experiment began.

As the basket containing gold slowly sank into the water, under the pressure of the fierce eyes of Zhao Yu and Wang Wenshu, Wuyan Zhan's legs finally couldn't support his heavy body, and he knelt on the ground with a pop.

Seeing Liu Che turn his head and look at him with a smile, Wuyan Zhan pleaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty is gracious......

Empress Wei sighed and turned her head to stop looking at Wuyan Zhan, Liu Yi looked at his father, and saw that his father had no intention of stopping the experiment, so he waved his hand heavily and let the experiment continue.

When the two baskets of gold all left the water, Huo Guang said softly: "Oh my God, there will be a difference of half an inch between a thousand hundred gold!" ”

Liu Che personally inspected the traces on the edge of the barrel, and asked Huo Guang with a snort: "When you were refining gold in the Yun Clan, what was pure gold?" ”

Huo Guang arched his hand and said: "The family teacher said that all craftsmen in the world always have the strength to exhaust their wisdom and poverty, and the work of water and fire can only refine gold, which generally reaches ninety percent, and the family teacher thinks that it can be called pure gold." As for the remaining one, it is silver and copper, if the soot blowing method continues to be alchemized, then it will bear the loss, and the ninety-five pure gold can be refined. ”

Liu Che glanced at Zhan Dao, who collapsed to the ground: "People's hearts, it's really hard to fill the craving, ninety percent plus fire consumption, it should already be a big fortune." “

After speaking, Liu Che turned around and got into the chariot, and Sui Yue drove away from the palace of the emperor's eldest son.

Empress Wei patted her son on the shoulder in appreciation, got into her chariot, and hurried away after the emperor.

Li Cai smiled and said to Liu: "The eldest son of the emperor is extremely intelligent, and the old minister can be regarded as knowledgeable, when the eldest son of the emperor goes to the southwest, please let the old minister see off His Royal Highness." ”

Liu Zhi pointed to Zhan who collapsed to the ground and said, "What should I do with this person?" ”

Li Cai said with a smile: "This is a family matter of the Son of Heaven, and the ministers dare not beak." ”

With that, he bowed his hand again and left.

Wang Wenshu pointed at Wuyan Zhan and said to Zhao Yu: "Is it the court lieutenant who makes a move, or my lieutenant's mansion that makes a move?" ”

Zhao Yu glanced at Wang Wenshu and said, "The Lieutenant's Mansion is already gearing up, and the old man will not participate." ”

Wang Wenshu said with a smile: "In this way, a certain family has thanked you, come and escort Wuyan Zhan into the Lieutenant's Mansion!" ”

Huo Guang had already dragged Liu Ju away for a long time, and Di Shan also hurriedly blocked Liu Ju's sight, just now, Huo Guang saw Wuyan Zhan take out the hairpin and insert it into his temple.

The shot was fast, which shows that the desire to die is very strong.

Wang Wenshu glanced at Wuyan Zhan Dao, who was still twitching: "Do you think that if you die, you can calm the anger in Your Majesty's heart?" ”

It didn't take much effort, and all the people who should have gone were gone, including the dead......

Liu Ju, Huo Guang, and Di Shan sat side by side on the steps, looking at Jin Shan in front of them in a daze.

A gust of wind blew, Huo Guang shivered, and it was only at this moment that he found that his clothes had been soaked with sweat.

Liu Ju was no better than him, sweat dripping down his chin, wetting the bluestone steps under his feet.

Only Di Shan was still stable, just looking at the small piece of blood left by Wuyan Zhan, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Destroyed by my hands?"

Liu Ju made a dreamy sound.

"His Royal Highness is wise, and in one fell swoop he exposed the evidence of the corruption of the Wuyan clan, making him irrefutable!"

Huo Guang helped Liu Ji to finalize his heels.

"Gotta ...... Offend...... Okay...... Multiplayer. ”

Liu Ju wiped his sweat and said: "He deserves it!" ”

Di Shan quickly wrote a paragraph in a small notebook and handed it to Liu Ju.

Liu said: "The queen mother said that you are not afraid of offending people, as long as you don't hurt your father, Master Di is too worried." ”

Huo Guang whispered: "It looks like we are really going to go to the southwest." ”

Liu Ji muttered: "Before you reach the southwest, you will die, which is not a good sign." ”

"Your Highness will visit those veterans who have long been honored one by one from tomorrow, and the more old people you bring, the more stable we will be."

"Your brother is about to return to Beijing, can you ......?"

"You think too much, as far as Your Highness is concerned, you can only use some old, weak, sick and disabled, and you don't have to think about any of the famous ministers in the court."

It was almost dark, Huo Guangcai dragged his tired body out of the Yang Palace, and a black carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, with a small Yun flag hanging on it.

Huo Guang climbed into the carriage, lay on the thick mat, and instructed the coachman: "Go home, hurry up." ”

The horseman lifted his hat and looked at Huo Guang and said, "The head of the family said that you want to stay in Chang'an recently, and you won't go anywhere." ”

Huo Guang heard the sound of the dog, got up with a bone, and pulled him into the carriage.

"How dare you show up at the gate of the palace?"

The dog smiled: "The head of the family is worried about you, who will you send if you don't send me?" ”
