"Have you found out where the end of this secret passage leads?"

"At the end of the secret passage is the official road, if the other party transports the gold out through here, it is impossible to check at all, but the pipeline extends in all directions, and it will be ten miles to the Kyoto Canal, if the other party transports the gold away through the waterway, it will be more difficult to find out."

"If you can't find it, you have to check it, so the big one must be found out of gold, otherwise the entire Dayu Dynasty will be out of order."

"Yes."

Lin Mo looked at the entire secret passage and pinched a handful of soil from the ground.

"This secret passage should have been built for a long time, and it can be seen that it was not made recently, which means that gold has been shipped out of here before, and it is impossible for no one to find out in the past five years, and it is still possible to find out something."

Nie Jingyang took the torch and walked towards the secret passage, and suddenly found a puddle of wetland, with the ruts of the carriage and the iron hooves of the horse, he measured it with his fingers, and suddenly his face changed.

"What's wrong with you?"

"See for yourself."

Lin Mohu suspiciously stepped forward to measure Nie Jingyang's appearance, and reacted slowly, but after reacting, his face was also very heavy.

"It's impossible!"

"I don't think it's possible, but you've seen it yourself, it's the hooves of a bloody horse."

"Isn't this bloody horse already extinct? Even Beidi did not have sweat horses, and it was extremely difficult for sweat horses to breed, and there was no trace of sweat horses a few years ago. ”

Lin Mo was a little incredulous, and even stumbled a little when he spoke.

Nie Jingyang looked at the horseshoe on the ground in a daze.

"But the facts have been put in front of us, this is indeed the hooves of sweaty horses, sweaty horses' iron hooves are larger than normal horses, ordinary horses can't meet this standard, have you ever seen other horses' hooves other than sweaty horses can look like this? If not, then this is the hooves of a bloody horse. ”

"How is this possible? My father is in charge of the military department, and he is also in charge of the grain and horses in the world. ”

So, that's what he was shocked about.

The sweaty horses have been extinct in the Dayu Dynasty and Beidi for nearly ten years.

If there is a sweat horse, there should be news, the sweat horse is larger than the ordinary size, the combat power is strong, and it will be invincible on the battlefield, but unfortunately, this sweat horse is very difficult to breed, so it will gradually become extinct.

Until ten years ago, there was no longer a bloody horse.

It is no coincidence or coincidence that this bloody horse has reappeared and is still here.

The Imperial Study.

Xuan Guogong, Emperor Xue, and Prime Minister Li stood aside.

"The three Qing families should take a look at this recital!"

"The emperor Nantai County actually discovered a gold mine, this is really the use of heaven for my Dayu Dynasty, if there is this gold mine, the treasury will not be empty."

Prime Minister Li Cheng was the first to pat himself on the back.

Emperor Xue came over to take a look, his face was a little gloomy, he was not as happy as Prime Minister Li Cheng, but a little worried.

Xuan Guogong's expression was the same as that of Emperor Xue.

"Can the emperor's lost gold be missing?"

"There is no whereabouts, it seems that half of the world has evaporated, Nie Jingyang said that it is more than gold enough to raise 80,000 soldiers and horses, and it is the best kind."

"What? If someone really uses such a big gold to secretly train the army, it will definitely be a danger to the Dayu Dynasty, will this matter have anything to do with Beidi's side? ”

Xuan Guogong was a little incredulous, and at the same time a little worried about such a big deal.

If 80,000 private soldiers were trained within the scope of the Dayu Dynasty, it would be impossible to have no clues at all.

Could it be that the other party is from Beidi's side? “

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Emperor Xue's side shook his head solemnly.

"Impossible, Beidi has frozen a lot of cattle and sheep to death in the past two years due to natural disasters and heavy snow, if this batch of gold is transported to Beidi, they will definitely not be like this, maybe we have already predicted the start of the war, and the gold should not have left the scope of the Dayu Dynasty."

In other words, there must be someone training private soldiers in an unknown place in the Dayu Dynasty, and using this gold to plan something.

This is what the emperor is most worried about, something bad will definitely happen to this gold in the hands of others, and maybe he will raise troops to rebel.

"This is exactly what I am worried about, Prime Minister Li, Xuan Guogong, I will leave this matter to you to investigate, I must find the whereabouts of the gold, and I must find out who is opening a gold mine without permission, this matter is related to the country of the Dayu Dynasty, the two Aiqing must be cautious, if you can't find out, I will only ask."

"Yes."

Prime Minister Li Cheng was shocked, so he agreed head-on.

At the same time, I also secretly wondered in my heart, who did this?

No matter who it is, this person must not be able to come from here, and he can hide this gold mine for five years, and he is not an ordinary person.

And he can also collude with local officials to think that it should have something to do with the imperial court.

Such a thing happened in the DPRK and China, and it is inseparable from the prime minister.

Li Chengxiang and Xuan Guogong retreated one after another.

"Why did the emperor leave this matter to the two of them? Why not just leave it to Xuan Guogong to do? ”

Emperor Xue is a small person, but he is not weak in the entire hall.

"The teacher's worries, I understand, but this matter will definitely alarm Prime Minister Li Cheng's side, since it is necessary to alarm him, otherwise let him participate in it generously, if you can't find out what I can cure his crime, if you find out anything, you can also clear his suspicion, he is an important minister in the court, and many things can't be hidden from him."

He is the prime minister of a country, and all six ministries are under his control, so naturally this investigation cannot be concealed from him.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xue was also relieved.

Xuan Guogong got the emperor's decree and immediately returned to the house, and informed the old lady of everything before and after.

The old lady understood the emperor's intentions in an instant, but he didn't say anything.

"The emperor has already issued an order, then it is up to you to investigate this matter, and Jingyang will not let him come back for the time being."

"Mother is planning for me to investigate in the open and let Jingyang investigate in the dark."

"After all, Jingyang's side is a little too obvious, I think it is most advantageous to let him cooperate with your investigation in the dark, and find a reason to let him go to the border gate. Then let him turn back and secretly investigate the matter. ”

"Yes."

At the same time, Lu Qingrong also received a letter from Nie Jingyang here.

After reacting, he immediately sent a letter to the Jiang family.

In terms of transportation, what should the Jiang family be able to find out?

Sure enough, within two days, the Jiang family found out that the batch of gold transported from Nantai County had gone to various places by water, and some of it should have been transported to the capital by horse-drawn carriage.

Some of them were transported along the waterway to Lanzhou.
