Liu Zhigang should be He Chenxue's father, a fact that everyone subconsciously ignored. If Guan Zhiqing is really He Chenxue's grandmother, and Liu Zhigang is Liu Shiqiang's son, and Guan Zhiqing was Liu Shiqiang's fiancée back then, then it is very likely that Guan Zhiqing gave birth to Liu Zhigang after marrying Liu Shiqiang, but this is just speculation, and the facts still need to be investigated.

"Father? How many fathers in this world would let people kill their own daughters? He Chenxue shook her head slowly, "How many fathers will lay traps on the road and let their daughters die?" No, even if he really has anything to do with me, at most it is just a forced and helpless blood relationship between us, even if there is a blood relationship, under the premise of no emotional foundation, I have nothing to do with him, besides, my surname is He, his surname is Liu, two different things. ”

He Chenxue's words have already indicated her attitude, even if Liu Zhigang is really her father, she can't dispel her idea of avenging her grandmother Guan Zhiqing.

Bai Zhongzheng said helplessly at this time: "What if Guan Zhiqing is not your grandmother?" Then it's none of your business. If Guan Zhiqing is, then Liu Shiqiang is your grandfather, that is to say, your grandfather hurt your grandmother, and your father followed in the footsteps of your grandfather, in the final analysis, it is your own family that is fighting in the interior, I think if this is really the case, there is no need for me to interfere. ”

He Chenxue immediately said, "Thank you for your honesty. ”

After finishing speaking, He Chenxue turned his head to look at the torture technique, and Bai Zhongzheng and Fake Nazhi also looked at him, wondering his attitude.

At this time, he thought more about the torture than anyone else, but he looked at the fake branch, he knew that the fake branch was just using He Chenxue to restrain himself, and at this critical time, the fake branch did not let go of the opportunity to restrain himself, which showed that this person had been keeping a clear and cool head.

This kind of person is terrible.

Instead of answering directly, he asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Revenge." He Chenxue said simply, "Clear the charge." ”

The torture technique said lightly: "There are many kinds of revenge, and there is usually only one way to clear the charge, combined with the purpose of clearing the charge, then you want to take revenge, there is only one way, that is, to bring Liu Zhigang to justice, but the problem is that Liu Zhigang is not his father Liu Shiqiang, what happened back then, we still don't know, so I asked Yan Gang and Tian Lianfeng to go to Tunzi to investigate." Even if it was really Liu Shiqiang's doing, there is no country in the world that says that if the father escapes or dies, his son will be arrested and sent to prison. ”

After speaking, the torture technique paused, and then said: "The current Liu Zhigang is almost innocent. ”

"Almost innocent? He almost killed us that night! He Chenxue said angrily.

Torture Shu closed his eyes and took a breath, pointed to the fake branch and said, "You calm down, this person did what happened that night, do you think this one will prove it for you?" On the premise that she doesn't prove it, why do you say that Liu Zhigang wants to kill us? Well, even if we have to bring this to justice, do we have to rely on Mr. Bai Zhongzheng Bai? He was the only witness who could prove that she was the one who did it that night, but as he had said before, it was none of his business. ”

Bai Zhongzheng immediately said at this time: "Since I have said this, I have to add that even if I am willing to be a witness, there is no way, because that night, I didn't see her face clearly at all, and I couldn't prove that it was her." ”

"Look." Xingshu looked at He Chenxue and said, "So, all the thoughts of revenge that you are thinking about now should be put down, what we should do now is to get out of here alive, what will happen to us after that, no one knows, everything is unknown, you can't think about anything other than calm and stay sober." ”

He Chenxue is now full of grievances and feels very helpless. However, Xingshu felt that this girl was really kind, after all, she didn't know if Guan Zhiqing was her own grandmother, of course, this was not the most important thing, the most important thing was that in fact, what she couldn't stand the most in her heart was the 111 innocent lives.

At this moment, He Chenxue said in a low voice: "Even if it's not for Guan Zhiqing, it should be for those 111 lives, right?" They are all human. ”

The torture technique didn't say anything, just went to take He Chenxue's hand: "Let's go." ”

When the two walked to the entrance of the cave holding hands, He Chenxue gently shook off the hand of the torture technique, and then said, "I'll go to the middle, I'm timid." ”

Xingshu knew that she was just making an excuse, and now He Chenxue might be very disgusted with herself. After all, people like to listen to good words, and in some difficult times they prefer to listen to white lies rather than harsh truths. But the punishment technique is the kind of person who can't ignore the consequences and open his mouth to talk nonsense in order to comfort others.

The cave in front of him presented a different scene - on both sides of the cave were dug out of the cave-like houses, which looked like shops, and the whole cave stretched out, like a downtown street in the city.

"Bun shop, there are cloth sellers over there, and there are grain sellers over here." Bai Zhongzheng looked around as he walked, "I just can't see half a person." ”

Of course, the people Bai Zhongzheng said are the white bones after death, but the torture technique does not think that there will be bones and other things, after all, the things here are all neatly arranged, and everything maintains the appearance of a thousand years ago, but most of them are weathered, and it can be seen that after the destruction of the Khan Khanate, the king wanted to maintain the operation of his kingdom in this underground.

"Here we are." Standing in front of him, he pointed to the larger, deeper cavern in front of him, "This is the real underground kingdom. As he spoke, he pulled out the flare gun in his bag and fired a flare into the cave.

The three of them immediately stepped forward quickly, looking at the cave in front of them with the help of the slowly falling flares, and there were still many brackets in the cave that had not collapsed and decayed, maintaining the state that was still under construction back then.

The cave was dug up by hand, and in the process of excavation, a staircase-like place was deliberately excavated, and a cave was excavated on this basis that could accommodate people.

The torture technique explained to He Chenxue, who couldn't see too far, that there were nine layers of caves in front of him, and each layer should be five meters high, and the slope stretched out towards the top of the cave, and there was a staircase five meters wide in the middle, and the stairs went from the bottom cave to the top, and at the top there was a gorgeous pavilion, just like the gate of the palace.

The palace gate is the only building here that looks like it has been completed.

Bai Zhongzheng photographed the cave in front of him, and then took the lead in walking down the slope gravel road in front of him, and after walking a few steps, he stopped, leaned over and picked up one of the stones, pinched it in his hand, turned around and threw it to the torture technique and asked, "This is the Yuhua Stone, right?" ”

The torture technique caught it, lit the simple torch made before, looked at it and said: "Yes, it is a rain flower stone, it must be natural, no one imitated this kind of thing in that era, but this is much more precious than what we say now, it is a real natural rain flower agate." ”

As he spoke, he squatted down and grabbed a handful, and exclaimed, "It's really a luxury to use this kind of thing to pave the way." ”

"The only thing I'm interested in right now is the hall above." Bai Zhongzheng walked towards the stairs, and at the same time there were almost four or five skeletons lying in front of each cave, the clothes worn by the skeletons were already in tatters, and most of the clothes had been broken after thousands of years in this cave, and if it weren't for the fact that there was almost no large air movement here, I am afraid that they would have all turned to ashes long ago.

Bai Zhongzheng stopped there, looked at it, and was about to walk up the stairs, but heard the sound of something falling down the stairs, and then saw that there was a light source at the door of the pavilion at the top, and it seemed that someone was squatting there.

The torture technique took He Chenxue to the bottom of the stairs, raised the torch to see who it was, but because the distance was too far, the ninth layer of the cave was still very high from the pavilion at the top, and the distance of the inclined plane extended caused the entire staircase to be at least one hundred and fifty meters long, and under the premise of faint light, it was almost impossible to see who was 150 meters away.

At this time, the torture technique turned his head to look at the fake branch, but found that the fake branch disappeared into the darkness at some point, and he didn't know where to go, so he had to touch Bai Zhongzheng on the side, signaling him to be vigilant, and then said loudly: "Is it Mr. Liu?" ”

The man didn't answer, and then they heard the sound of something tumbling down the stairs from above, this time more, what sounded like some small piece of metal.

Finally, one of the objects rolled up the stairs at the bottom, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a gold coin, and he leaned over to pick it up, and found that the five-millimeter thick gold coin was not hollow, nor was it positive or negative, there was no text or pattern on either side, but there was a strange circle of text around the edge of the gold coin.

The torture technique bit down, and then said, "Pure gold." ”

Bai Zhongzheng walked a few steps up the stairs and found that the person above him had thrown down more gold coins.

"Mr. Liu, I don't understand what you mean." Torture looked up and asked, "You want to tell me that I took these things and left immediately, right?" ”

The man above got up slowly, and then threw something down, this time not as loud as a gold coin, but like some kind of sand. Bai Zhongzheng glanced back at the torture technique, and the two of them turned on their headlamps at the same time and shone towards them, this photo, the two of them were startled, because the person above fell down with all gold sand!

"Gold! Endless gold! The man above shouted, "As many as you want!" How much do you want to take? Just take it. ”

The torture technique began to tentatively move forward along the stairs, Bai Zhongzheng followed behind, He Chenxue followed behind the two, clenching his fists.

The man above didn't stop them, until they panted and climbed up the stairs a dozen or so steps away from the man, and finally saw the man's appearance clearly, it was an ordinary middle-aged man's face, and he also had a pair of glasses on his face, and he was wearing a dry diving suit, if it weren't for his grim face and the strong crossbow raised in his hand, anyone would think that he was just an ordinary teacher.

"Looks like the guy I hired told me who I am." The man said coldly, "Yes, I am Liu Zhigang, and Liu Shiqiang, who discovered this place back then, is my father." ”

The torture and the others didn't speak, they didn't know what Liu Zhigang was going to do, and the torture was very puzzled why the fake branch was missing.

"Boss Criminal, you are very powerful, you can actually chase here, I thought you would die halfway, because the three experts I brought, according to them, if I didn't know the right route, even if they found it all the way, they would either be killed or injured." Liu Zhigang finally had a smile on his face, "So, I think your ability is even better than I imagined, plus you are a courtier, you should have business acumen, why don't we cooperate?" Because although there is a lot of gold here, it is not so easy to make a move, and if you sell so much gold at one time, anyone will target me, and I am afraid of death. ”

After speaking, Liu Zhigang smiled strangely there.

Xingshu shook his head: "Mr. Liu, I'm not interested in gold, if you have antiques, or some novelties, I think we can communicate." ”

He Chenxue was about to step forward at this time, but was grabbed and dragged by the torture technique, stopped her, and signaled her to calm down.

Liu Zhigang turned to Bai Zhongzheng again: "Mr. Bai, I know what you do, and I also know the purpose of your follow-up boss, although I didn't know anything about many things before, but the people I hired are very powerful, and I have checked you clearly, but I haven't thought about it now, whether I want to cooperate with you too, but if there are three more people, three more will go out, but if it is really necessary, I don't care, because the gold here is inexhaustible." ”

Bai Zhongzheng smiled: "Inexhaustible? Even if this is a gold mine, there will be a day when it will be dug up. ”

"Clever!" Liu Zhigang looked at Bai Zhongzheng and said, "This is indeed a gold mine, and there is a very obvious gold vein!" ”

Saying that, Liu Zhigang squatted down and turned on the strong flashlight he had set up earlier, shining on the top of the cave, and the moment they shone up, they looked up and saw a large piece of so-called rock at the top of the cave, it was not a rock, it was ore, gold ore!

He Chenxue looked at Liu Zhigang who was blurry in front of him, and asked: "It turns out that the treasure of the Khanate is this gold mine, and you killed so many people back then just to cover up this matter?" ”

Liu Zhigang squatted down, still holding the crossbow in his hand: "Yes, the treasure of the Khanate is this gold mine, whether it is those people back then or me now, I am interested in gold mines." Secondly, I am only in my fifties, I was only born when that incident happened, I was just a baby, and that incident has nothing to do with me at all, and you don't need to tie me up with a moral rope. ”

Liu Zhigang's words are not leaky, he did not tell the events of the year because of this, but from another point of view, he is not wrong, the person who committed the crime back then was his father, not him, and there is no such law in the world where Lao Tzu kills his son and goes to prison.

After speaking, Liu Zhigang said again: "Boss Xing, Mr. Bai, what do you think?" Give me an answer. ”

The torture found that Liu Zhigang did not mention He Chenxue, it should be said that he seemed to deliberately avoid He Chenxue, why is this? Could it be that he is really He Chenxue's father?

Just when the torture technique was still thinking about what to do next, Bai Zhongzheng threw down his crossbow and put the quiver containing the arrow on the ground, and then untied the ice axe and dagger, raised his hand and said: "I cooperate, so much gold, I don't want to say it, that's lying." ”

Bai Zhongzheng said, turning his head and showing a smile at the torture technique and He Chenxue.

Liu Zhigang's crossbow turned to the torture technique and asked, "Boss Xing, what about you?" ”

"Mr. Liu, the matter of the gold mine is not that simple, since you know what is down here, you should have done relevant investigations. In 1988, the State Council issued a notice on the implementation of protective mining of gold minerals, according to Article 15 of China's Mineral Resources Law, it was decided to list gold mines as specific minerals for protective mining, and no unit or individual shall be mined without the approval of the State Gold Administration. "Of course, in 2003, the National Development and Reform Commission issued regulations on the approval of gold mining, clearly pointing out the daily mining volume and the effective period of mining, and the daily output of more than 500 tons is valid for 15 years, which is the longest." Of course, I'm talking about just two of the regulations that have been issued over the years. ”

Liu Zhigang showed a smile on his face: "Boss Xing, I know that it is right for me to cooperate with you, because you are simply a jack of all trades, and with you here, it is equivalent to bringing an all-rounder by your side." ”

The torture also smiled: "Remove the king under the whole word, I may be a talent, I can't say it, I just want to tell Mr. Liu about the danger of this matter, if he breaks the law, he will sit in prison." ”

He Chenxue lowered her head, clenched her fists, and didn't look up at anyone, at this time she thought that she had been sold, first Bai Zhongzheng, and then torture, these people were unreliable.

Liu Zhigang threw out a small bag from his pocket at this time, and then took out a mask from the bag: "There are three masks in the bag, wear them, this is a gold mine, although it is not a real mining area, but mining and refining are behind, the air will be filled with sulfur dioxide, and if you smoke too much, you will die!" ”

Xingshu was stunned, feeling that he had ignored this matter, when he distributed the masks, He Chenxue was still clenching his fists and standing there motionless, he had to forcibly put it on He Chenxue, and when he put it on, Liu Zhigang still looked at the two of them with a strange smile.

"Miss He, you have to figure out the situation in front of you." The torturer just whispered.

"Come on! I'll take you to see the mining and smelting areas in the back. Liu Zhigang carried the crossbow, "However, you have to go ahead, I don't fully trust you yet." ”

The torture technique pulled He Chenxue towards it, Bai Zhongzheng followed behind, and the torture technique said at the same time: "People die for money, and people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, Mr. Liu is cautious, I can understand, it doesn't matter." ”

Liu Zhigang smiled and looked at the three people who walked past him, then glanced around, as if he was looking for something, and then pointed to the main entrance of the main hall and said, "Go in." ”

Torture pushed open the door of the main hall, and after pushing it open, it was seen that there was a huge cave in the hall where torches were lit on all sides, and the cave had several passages that extended to the depths, and the main cave was the place where the gold ore was refined, and it can be seen from the ancient tools inside that it was basically the method of burning the stone, burning the ore with fire, and then pouring cold water, and then bursting open after the ore expanded and contracted, and then grinded and put it into the water to sift and pan.

Liu Zhigang looked around and said: "Of course we won't use this method, we can use the emergence method, use the ball mill to grind, and then use sodium carbonate as a regulator, and finally get out of the gold concentrate powder, which is also easy to take out, not easy to be discovered, and transported by a truck loaded with grain, it will not make people suspicious." ”

Xingshu took a deep breath and said: "However, we are just a few people, we will definitely not be able to do it, even if I know how to do it theoretically, but in fact I have never operated it, Mr. Liu, you will not do it yourself, right?" ”

Liu Zhigang shook his head: "It's easy to find someone, you also said before, people die for money, I can completely imitate my father's practice back then." ”

He Chenxue was shocked, and the torture technique deliberately looked at Liu Zhigang with a curious look.
