Unless someone smuggled the official silver, how could there be such a heavy rut mark, and besides, ordinary rich people would not put the official silver on the car so straight, let alone fall off. How could such a large piece of silver not react? Unless there is too much silver to notice.

Xue Rou and Yuan Junfeng's brain circuits reached an agreement, and the two looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes. Normally, the official bank will not go this way, so naturally it can only be regarded as smuggling.

But they continued to search around here, but found no new evidence, so they had to return in vain.

Xue Rou said, "This is really strange, could it be that someone smuggled the official silver in the palace?" But it is impossible for the supervision department to make such a big mistake and omission. ”

Yuan Junfeng nodded, "Since we can't see anything, let's go back first." Looking at it another day, we may be able to find some other evidence. ”

Xue Rou nodded, "Let's go." ”

The two of them walked along the road, wanting to look at other evidence, but they found nothing, but they heard the voice of someone not far away.

They followed the speaker's voice, feeling familiar. I saw a thin red-robed figure, commanding the people in front of him, saying something.

This person's back is very familiar, which makes Xue Rou and Yuan Junfeng feel surprised, how could he be here? It's weird.

Xue Rou stepped forward and said in surprise, "Gu Wen? ”

The man in front of him turned around, also looking very surprised, "Miss Xue, Brother Yuan, why are you here?" ”

Yuan Junfeng said, "We were also about to ask." How did you end up here? ”

Gu Wen wanted to speak and stopped, he wouldn't lie, so he could only say perfunctorily, "No, I just went out for a walk, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Xue and Brother Yuan." ”

He said perfunctorily, but his fingers kept rubbing the corners of his clothes, obviously a little weak-hearted.

But neither of them paid special attention to this detail, Xue Rou first explained, "When we were in the mansion, we heard the subordinates making noise outside, it turned out to be for a piece of silver, and we found that this silver turned out to be official silver, how could the subordinates have it?" They said they had picked it up here, and we chased it out. ”

Gu Wen listened to Xue Rou's words, put down the hand that grabbed the corner of his clothes, and the expression on his face changed slightly, "What?" You're also chasing the official bank? ”

This "also" made Yuan Junfeng capture, "Are you here to track down Guanyin?" ”

Gu Wen sighed in his heart, he originally just wanted to be perfunctory, because the emperor asked him to investigate this matter in private. Although Xue Rou and Yuan Junfeng are also their own people, the emperor's words still cannot be disobeyed. But at this time, he accidentally leaked his mouth, and because Xue Rou and Yuan Junfeng also came to investigate this, there was no need to deceive perfunctorily.

After figuring it out, Gu Wen smiled bitterly, "Yes, I forgot, Miss Xue and Brother Yuan don't know yet." Didn't I go to Gu Cai's house to ask questions before, in fact, it was just for this matter. But I didn't expect him to want to kill me, so I fought back. He also died because of this. ”

"Your Majesty suspects that Gu Cai may have forged official money in private, suspected of fraud and corruption, but it is suspected of being significant, so I asked me to investigate in private. Originally, I just wanted to ask questions and persuade him to turn back. But maybe the culpability was too great, and it scared him, so he became like this again. ”

Xue Rou only felt embarrassed when she heard this, "Forging official silver may not be a crime to death, so why should he do this?" ”

Yuan Junfeng shook his head, "Who can know about him." I guess I'm too scared to death. ”

Gu Wen groaned, "Your Majesty thinks that this matter is very serious, and Gu Cai may not be the only one involved in the private creation of official silver, so I was afraid that I would be startled, so I asked me to investigate in private." You might be able to catch a vine. ”

Xue Rou said, "No wonder the way you wanted to speak just now was asked by His Majesty to hide it?" ”

Gu Wen nodded, with some apology on his face, "I'm sorry, Miss Xue, Brother Yuan." ”

Yuan Junfeng patted him on the shoulder and smiled heartily, "How can I blame you for this?" The way of loyalty, Rou'er and I still want to praise you. ”

Xue Rou raised her eyes to look at this mountain forest, originally she only felt that the woods were dense and the grass was green, but after listening to Gu Wen's words, she vaguely found a trace of mystery. At this time, a bird crossed the sky, and Xue Rou said, "No wonder they can pick up the official silver here, maybe someone made the official silver privately nearby, or maybe it was transported from here?" Originally, I only thought that this mountain forest was ordinary, but now I find that it is so mysterious. ”

Gu Wen glanced behind him, he only brought a few simple guards, but he didn't expect to kneel here to find clues, and after a moment of silence, Gu Wen said, "It seems that this mountain forest is indeed not simple, and the people brought out today are not enough, go back and tell Your Majesty, let him send an elite to search the mountain, and he will definitely be able to find clues." ”

The three of them left the mountain forest, following the deep and shallow rut marks, and felt a little heavy in their hearts, I am afraid that this cleaning will wash out a large number of people.

Gu Wen returned to the house, and before he could take two breaths, he immediately entered the palace and went to meet the emperor, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”

The little emperor was originally criticizing the folds, and saw that he was a little happy in his heart, "How is it?" Have you checked the results? ”

Seeing that Gu Wen's face was still pale, he remembered that he had just experienced the scene of his father killing him a few days ago, and said with relief, "It's not a big deal if you don't find it, take your time." Gu Aiqing still has to take care of her body first. ”

Gu Wen shook his head, "Your Majesty, the minister has already found a little sign." This time I entered the palace to meet him, and I also wanted to ask His Majesty for troops. ”

"Oh? What do you ask soldiers to do? The little emperor put down the brush in his hand.

Gu Wen said, "The minister found a clue and pointed to a deep mountain and old forest, which looked very ordinary, but there were deep and shallow rut marks, and the minister met Miss Xue and Yuan Junfeng during the investigation, and they were also chasing Guan Yin." Therefore, the minister thinks that there must be something strange about that mountain forest, and please send an elite to search the mountain, and you will definitely be able to find relevant evidence! ”

The little emperor stroked his palms and shouted, and said three times in a row, "Okay, good, Gu Aiqing's handling of this matter is very in line with my wishes." I found the evidence in such a short period of time, I approved it, you can pick it yourself, whether it is Yuyunjun or something else, whatever you want. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

On this side, the friendly appearance of the monarch and the ministers, but on the other side, the officials involved in the private creation of official silver could not sit still, and there seemed to be a flame burning under their buttocks, and they were so enthusiastic that they wanted to extinguish the fire immediately. It's just that this is the fire that the emperor burned, if it were someone else, I'm afraid it would have been killed by them.

"What? Gu Wen asked His Majesty for orders to go to Soushan?! Liu Xuan, who was sitting in the house drinking tea, couldn't sit still.

The butler hurriedly said, "Yes, sir. We have someone left on the mountain, and the man said that Gu Wen went up the mountain to search today, but he didn't find our base. But I don't know why, I suddenly met Xue Rou and Yuan Junfeng, and after the three of them chattered for a while, Gu Wen went to His Majesty to ask for orders to search the mountain. ”

"This is still the alert people we left in the mountains, they have been hiding for a long time, and they have not been noticed at all. specially sent a small man's subordinates to hide in a tree not far away, and someone followed Gu Yuan back to the mansion and watched her enter the palace, otherwise he would not have gotten first-hand news. ”

The butler kept praising his subordinates, and he wanted to get a little credit for his subordinates, "Master, look, shouldn't you give them a little reward?" ”

Liu Xuan waved his hand irritably, "Go to the account room, you will decide all the crocodiles, the master is not in the mood to take care of these now." ”

The housekeeper bowed his head and said yes, and when he was about to leave, he heard Liu Xuan stop him, "Wait, the money or something will be paid later, how many people are still on the mountain now?" ”

The housekeeper counted on his fingers, "In addition to the two who came to report the news, a group of people have been withdrawn, and now at least half of them are still on the mountain." ”

Liu Xuan showed a clear expression, "Okay, let them destroy the mine." ”

"Master, this!" The butler looked at him with a shocked expression, "This silver mine is the biggest source in our house." ”

Liu Xuan said impatiently, "Can the master still know you?" But now it's not going to work, the little emperor is already targeting, he can't hide, let the person who reported the news go back quickly, the sooner the better, and destroy the silver mine for me! ”

The housekeeper couldn't bear it, but he had no choice but to obey the order and let his subordinates destroy the mine.

Liu Xuan walked around in place irritably, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper and deeper. Gu Cai is indeed not a good person, and Liu Xuan himself doesn't like this nephew and son-in-law, but there is no way, this person's brain is active.

The silver mine they teamed up to build originally thought that Gu Cai was dead and this thing would be buried. Who would have thought that Gu Wen would quietly find that mountain. If they didn't have that silver mine, where would they get enough money to spend their money? Isn't it possible to achieve the little money that was issued by the imperial court? It's not enough to plug between your teeth.

A businessman is richer than an official, but his status is lower. This is how Liu Xuan looks down on people who are in business but thinks they have no money as an official, so they found this way. At first, when I found a silver mine on this mountain, I was ecstatic. Originally, I was going to make some silver furniture or something, but then I thought that it would be more convenient to make it directly into silver.

One time at a time, more and more silver was produced in the silver mines, and their business grew. Otherwise, just with Gu Cai's official position, it would be impossible to embezzle hundreds of thousands of silver money.

But now this road is about to be blocked, and he says that he wants to destroy the silver mine, but Liu Xuan's heart is dripping blood, how much money will he have to lose! It's all the meat of the heart!

But then again, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood. If the silver mine is discovered, let alone money. Even the details of his life are gone, and what money is spent, so he decisively decided to break his wrist to survive.

After Xue Rou and the others left, a raging fire suddenly broke out somewhere in the mountain forest that didn't look unusual, and the fire didn't spread, only that piece was burned, including all the formed official silver and the silver that had just been dug up.
