Chapter 251: Qinling Gold Mine
On this day, Yang Qiqi had just returned home from the women's school, and only then did he enter the door, Chu Xuwen followed with a smile, and said with a twisted beard: "Girl, there is a letter over there in Qinling!" ”
When Yang Qiqi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked Chu Xuwen, "What do you say?" ”
Chu continued: "The person Du Gongzi was looking for didn't pull down his face to do the thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs.
But I'm afraid that it won't work out and ruin the girl's plan. So I went directly to the county office, first cast the official seal of Chang Gon, and then changed it back. then stole Chang Gon's official uniform, the county magistrate had no official uniform, and he couldn't go to the yamen. In the end, he left a note with the gentry in the county office, saying that he wanted to take a valuable object from each family. These dozen or so squires went to the yamen and asked Lord Chang Gon to help these people protect the treasure. Lord Changgon laid a net to arrest this man. Later, I found out that it was tricked. What makes this constant angry is a scream. ”
When Yang Qiqi heard this, he not only laughed out loud. In her previous life, she had only seen Chang Gon scream at others, how could she have ever seen Chang Gon himself jumping in anger? She remembered that Chang Gon was very short, with a pair of black bean eyes, a garlic nose, and a mustache under his nose. The whole person looks like a little mouse. Although his appearance is not good, he is a very official person. Especially with his indifferent look, which is always disapproving of him, it is really not to be underestimated.
In the last years of Yonghui, Chang Gon once became the most feared and changeable figure in the entire Chang'an.
Chu Xuwen naturally didn't know why Yang Qiqi was so happy with his smile, but he also laughed with her: "Chang Daren has a stubborn temper, let's go back and forth to Xin'er, saying that Chang Da is popular and shouting at the gate of the county government, 'Come if you want to come, leave if you want, when I am a toilet in Muping County'." It can be seen that he is very angry, and he still issued an official document in Muping County, saying that it was bound to catch this thief. ”
Yang Qiqi knew that Chang Gon was the kind of person who did what he said, and since he had issued an official document, he would naturally not let it go.
"Okay, Li Yuanzhong took people to open a gold mine, and I have seen it for more than a month. At this time, if Chang Gon leads someone to break in, he will inevitably get both the stolen goods. Let Senior Brother Du's people withdraw, and our own people can go to deliver the news and news. Yang Qiqi's mood was exceptionally bright, and as soon as Chang Gon came out, the matter was half completed.
Chu Xuwen got the order and nodded with a smile.
Within a few days, Chang Gon, who was in Muping County, received a tip. Someone found the trace of the flying thief, saying that he had left a note, openly mocking and mocking Chang Gon's Muping County for several years of night and night without closing its door, but it was just a fool's words. Now I want to go straight to Luoyang by going through Qinling.
Chang Gon didn't believe it at first, but when he saw the same note written by the thief himself, he was dumbfounded. Chang Gon has been a county official for so many years, and he has said such a big blow. immediately ordered that he would personally take someone to Qinling, and it was bound to catch up with this flying thief, and he would personally imprison this person in the county government in order to dispel the hatred in his heart.
Who knows, he was brought by an informant and went directly into the depths of the Qinling Mountains. On a cold night in early spring, Chang Gon directly bumped into the sneaky activities of Li Yuanzhong and others at night.
The movement of mining is not light, and it is necessary to use gunpowder to open the mountain. Li Yuanzhong did not dare to use gunpowder during the day, and most of them let people open the mountain at night.
Originally, this gold mine was opened by the prince's people, although the prince asked the prince to blow up the mine before, it was much easier than the ordinary bombing of the mountain to open a mine. It's just that today is unlucky, Li Yuanzhong led people to do it in full swing, but he didn't expect to be killed, there was a court official not far away, and he saw it really well.
Chang Gon looked at the movement in the distance and asked the guide, "What is this doing?" ”
The guide also looked very confused, and guessed and said, "Look like this, it seems to be opening a private mine." In the first two months, the villain's fellow villagers seemed to say that there was an official family who wanted to recruit people to open mines. ”
Mines are not opened casually, such as copper mines, iron mines, gold and silver mines, if there is no warrant from the imperial court, opening mines without permission is a big thing, and you can be beheaded if you are caught.
Chang Gon put the matter of the flying thief behind for the time being, and inquired to the guide: "What private mine, do you know? ”
The guide was stunned for a moment, and persuaded Chang Gon with some regret: "Master Chang, don't ask more." People who dare to open private mines have a big background and a big background, but they are not afraid of petty officials like you. Besides, we're catching thieves now, so let's just don't see it! ”
Chang Gon looked at the guide with solemn eyes, and said, "How can you pretend that you didn't see it?" If you open a mine privately, you are a thief of the country. It's going to be reported to the court! ”
"You know, I heard my fellow countryman. The gold mine opened this time, the gold owner behind it, is a big deal. Not only did they dot everything that could be done within a hundred miles of the Qinling Mountains, but there were also troops in the army to help them move and protect them. Think about it, it would have to be a lot of people to do it? ”
Chang Gon said unobservingly: "I don't care what kind of heavenly person he is, even if he is a heavenly person, he can't do it. Besides, he didn't touch me, and I don't accept his point! ”
"Lord Chang, you can rest! You don't want to live, you have to think about the people under you, whether they want to live or not! ”
The more Chang Gon listened to this guide's persuasion, the more unjust he felt in his heart, and said with a righteous attitude: "If you condone such a person, you will condone the great rat of the country." Now if it is none of your business, hang high, and wait until the future, it is still the common people who suffer losses and are unlucky. ”
The more Chang Gon spoke, the more energetic he became, and he turned around in his heart again, made a few calculations, and said directly: "A few of you go and gather more people, you two go to Jintai County and Chencang County, and say that you have caught a group of green forest thieves and asked them to send officials to support." When Chang Gon said this, he still felt that it was not enough, and then changed his words: "When I went to the camp of Xifu, I said that we met a large group of green forest thieves, and I don't know what illegal things we are doing. We can't arrest people with our manpower, so please send a few people from the Xifu battalion. ”
Chang Gon is not the kind of person who can only do stupid things, and he has arranged it very well for a while.
First of all, he thought he didn't know where these people came from. So no matter who the person above has tapped with his hands and eyes, he hasn't beaten himself up anyway, he doesn't know, and it's not wrong to arrest someone as a thief in the green forest. And the people in other county towns and the camp in Xifu, if they have been beaten, they will not be too suspicious after he says so. After all, there was a flying thief in Muping County, which was known to the entire Qinling Mountains. Because of this flying thief, it is not impossible to write such a green forest thief.
When he detained all these people, he was all taken back to the prison in Muping County. Those who came to help naturally went back. When the time came, he called someone to be sentenced overnight, quickly handled the matter, and then sent the confession and the signed confession to Beijing, and the matter was considered to be the majority. It's just that the front is easy to do, but if you want this fold to pass through the yamen of the government and the state, and directly hand it over to the criminal department or Dali Temple, it will be very difficult. When the land arrives in front of the palace, it is even more unthinkable.
When these people went to move the rescue soldiers, Chang Gon had been worrying about how to hand the excerpts to Luoyang, and it was best to send them directly to the emperor's eyes. But it's a pity that he has no way out, and he doesn't even have a teacher who can help him introduce him. There are so many dignitaries in Luoyang, he always has to choose a reliable person to have a few chances of winning.
But the idea has been decided, and he naturally has no reason to back down.
Chang Gon didn't know how long he had been waiting, but the sky had already darkened, and the voice on the other side had become quieter, and the reinforcements had arrived. Chang Gon didn't think much about it, and directly led the people to the center of the miners, and said, "Go and catch this group of green forest thieves for me and send them to the government office of Muping County." ”
Li Yuanzhong had just dug up the gold here, and was about to let people mine it basket by basket. I heard a sound outside the mine. He hadn't heard of any Muping County government. But Li Yuanzhong knew that this was the arrival of officers and soldiers. Although he was a little caught off guard, he reacted very quickly and hid next to the mine, behind a large rock.
The stone was about as tall as one person, and two people as many. He was curled up in it, and naturally it was difficult to be seen.
The miners outside had never seen such a posture, and they were all dumbfounded. Two of the overseers had a little experience, "Official, we're not some green forest thieves, we're here to pick stones and go back to build a house!" ”
As soon as one of the overseers finished speaking, he saw that someone had brought out a basket of raw things in the mine, and Chang Gon walked over and saw that although the surface of the gold was abrupt, he could also see that the stone was shining with a little golden light. You don't have to look closely to see that it's gold ore.
The overseer looked at Changgon's eagle-sharp eyes, and his heart sank, but he was finished.
Chang Gon smiled coldly and said, "Went back to build a house after mining the gold mine?" ”
"The little one, the little one doesn't know anything!" Seeing this, the overseer immediately knelt down to Changgon and begged for mercy.
Chang Gon waved his hand directly and said, "You guys, stay and watch this gold mine." A few of you, take these people to the Muping County Ya, and I will interrogate them personally. ”
The people who were brought in as reinforcements didn't know what the gold mine was all about, and they were supposed to come to encircle and suppress the thieves, but who knew that they would encounter such a big event.
When Li Yuanzhong heard this inside, his heart was cold. What should he do now?
When leaving, Mrs. Li told her a thousand words and instructions, saying that the gold mines in Qinling must not have a half-point difference. Now that something like this has happened, isn't that tantamount to his life!
Li Yuanzhong curled up in the cave, hearing with his own ears that all the miners had been taken away, and his heart became more and more anxious. When the voice gradually became quieter, he quietly crawled to the entrance of the cave, and saw another official guarding this side.
After waiting for a day and a night, Li Yuanzhong reluctantly escaped from the mine when the officials at the entrance of the cave were changing shifts.
Right now, what Li Yuanzhong is eager to do is to settle the county order of Muping County first.
