Zhengyang Mansion City.

Qianjia rice shop.

The old shopkeeper sent off a guest with a smile on his face, and then turned around, his expression gloomy: "This is not right! ”

"Shopkeeper, we don't have enough grain and rice in our warehouse, this is really a new thing......

An errand boy came over and smiled all over his face: "There have been several waves of high-rollers in a row today, and it is really generous to make a move, we have raised the price of 30%, and we still have a deal." It's still real money! ”

"Real money? Real money! ”

The old shopkeeper suddenly came to his senses and came to the cash cabinet: "Those waves of guests, all of them pay the bills with gold? ”

"Yes, some are golden sand, some are gold nuggets, and some are bamboo tube gold, which are obviously melted by themselves......"

The settler said slowly: "How come there are so many guests who have used gold lately?" ”

seemed to see the shopkeeper's concern, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, I have carefully checked it, it's not medicine gold and silver, it's all nine out of eight real gold, our old Xue's eyes, can you trust it?" ”

"That's amazing!"

The old shopkeeper was not angry, but stroked his beard: "It's the first time in the old man's life to see this strange thing." ”

At this moment, a fellow ran in, and drank a pot of tea with his neck tilted, which was the one sent out by the old shopkeeper to inquire about the news.

"How? Can you hear that? ”

The old shopkeeper's expression changed and he asked.

"Most of these people who buy grain are original villagers, and they are all from Qingquan Mountain...... Although they hid it tightly, I still inquired about it, and maybe it was ...... Out of the gold mine! ”

The guy said a little greedily: "Some scoundrels in the city have long been going to see the excitement together, but they were almost beaten back by hundreds of farmers, that posture is not like a fake!" ”

"Shhh...... Gold mine? ”

The ears of the people present were pricked up, their eyes lit up, and then they were a little gloomy.

Obviously, if it's his turn, if there's a chance to make a profit, how can this guy come back?

"Good luck for the villagers in that neighborhood!"

Xue Shufang couldn't help but say with envy, and his eyes were a little red.

"That's ...... so"

The old shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief: "This is also because they have financial luck...... But in the end, it is still necessary to ...... the big and cheap and the official."

If there really is a gold mine, how can the villagers hold it?

And the gold mine is deep, and how much is on the surface? At most, loot a little floating wealth.

In the end, the big head still has to fall on the government.

But after knowing this, he felt a lot more relaxed: "I said why are so many high rollers, it turns out that they are all gold digging...... Hey? Why do they spend it so quickly, don't they know the truth that wealth is not exposed? Although the villagers are ignorant, they are still cunning...... It's not good, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this gold! ”

He quickly grabbed a gold nugget, weighed it repeatedly, and tested it, but he couldn't see any flaws.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.

The old shopkeeper seemed to have his eyes spent, and the gold in front of him turned into a stone.

"What?"

He was startled, rubbed his eyes, and continued to look, only to find that it was still a stone.

"Shopkeeper ......"

Next to him, Xue's voice was also trembling: "Sand...... Why did the golden sand turn into sand......"

He looked at the gold that had turned into gray stone and gravel, and felt that the whole person was not good.

"Tricks! The legendary trick? ”

A thought came to him uncontrollably, making him scream.

"No, no, it's not a trick!"

The old shopkeeper shook his head slowly.

I tried all kinds of tests before, and even used the means of pouring black dog blood, if it was the legendary demon law, it would have been broken a long time ago.

He didn't know that ordinary Taoists, even if they had a blinding method, could only confuse their eyes, and coupled with the disadvantages of incense and wishing power, they were indeed restrained by filthy things, which had an effect and spread among the people.

It's a pity that this kind of soil method, against the upper technique, is in vain.

He couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, looking at the worthless rubble, he suddenly became angry, and a mouthful of reverse blood gushed up his throat, and he fainted.

……

Night.

Qian family.

"Dad, our family has lost a lot this time...... Seventy percent of the grain stocks were gone, and a pile of stones was lost in vain...... You can't just forget that. ”

A young man held the ledger and felt distressed like meat.

I was very happy to see the steady stream of gold in my account before, but at this time, I was so depressed that I wanted to vomit blood.

The head of the Qian family, whose name is Qian Shangmu, did not move his face at this time, but his body twitched slightly, which obviously showed that his heart was extremely uneasy: "This matter...... It can't be counted like this, but there are too many people who buy food, no matter how powerful my Qian family is, can I suppress so many people in one go? After all, my family is just a grain merchant, and the adults behind will not force the people to rebel, do you still think that Zhengyang Mansion is not chaotic enough? ”

The young man Yirin, after knowing that the incident in Taizheng County happened, the officials and masters were very sensitive to this kind of thing, and many behaviors were restrained.

"Sir!"

At this time, there was another knock on the door outside.

"Money is expensive, come in."

Qian Shang Mou Dao, the young man recognized that the person who came was the second housekeeper and the most trusted person by his father.

"Greetings to the master, son."

Qian Gui saluted meticulously, giving people a sense of indifference.

But the young man knew that this was a poisonous snake raised by his father.

"How's it going for you to check?"

Master Qian asked in a deep voice.

"The fake gold has been seen by the Taoists who have passed through the metaphysical view, and it is said that no one can make such a fake thing...... And the source is Qingquan Mountain outside the city...... It took me a lot of manpower to find out that a Taoist had gone there a few days ago to turn the clear spring into a golden spring and give it to the nearby villagers. ”

"The art of turning stones into gold, isn't it an immortal?"

Master Qian was stunned, stood up, paced, suddenly stopped, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is over, and none of you are allowed to retaliate!" If you do, salute it......"

"Dad, why?"

The young man was puzzled, this kind of behavior of hitting the left cheek and making the right cheek made him extremely incomprehensible.

"People are immortals, and the game is red...... How dare we mortal ants? My Qian family can't even be provoked by the metaphysical temple, and I still want to mess with others? ”

Qian Shangmu glared at his son: "If you still have this thought, I will kill you first, so as not to cause trouble to my family." ”

"My son doesn't dare."

The authority of the feudal family is unimaginable to outsiders.

The young man knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Obviously, his father really has the ability to let him die, and the government will not care.

"Alright, so be it."

Master Qian waved his hand, his eyes were a little puzzled, and he muttered: "First a white ape, and then a demon with a strong Taoism...... This Zhengyang Mansion, I'm afraid it's going to be really messed up......"

Wars are fought with money, food and logistics.

Being messed up like this, Zhengyang Mansion will inevitably be in chaos for a while.

Not to mention anything else, it is almost impossible to rely on the power of the government to kill the king of Baimao Zhai.
