After the four of them hurried out of the city, they arrived at the sub-mine, where after a heavy rain last night, there was mud and rocks everywhere, and there was a strange smell.

Cheng Yan helped Cheng Qi down, looked at the foot of the mountain, and said with a sigh of relief: "Although there are many small hills, fortunately, those mines are fine." ”

Liuzi said on the side: "Yes, my father said, there is always a small earthquake at the foot of Dayi Mountain, and the first thing to do is to strengthen the mine, even in autumn and winter, you can't relax." ”

"Okay, you and your dad have hearts."

Cheng Qi said, lifted his skirt and looked left and right, and asked, "Where is Cao Kuangtou?" ”

Liuzi immediately pointed in a direction and said, "Miss Qi, my father is over there!" ”

Cheng Qi couldn't help but say, "Take me over." ”

"Nope."

Who knew that the sixth son refused without thinking about it, and explained: "Miss Qi, forgive me, before I went into the city to find you and Young Master Zongyu, my father specially instructed that as long as you and Young Master Zongyu go over to see him, no one else is allowed to approach, and even I don't know what's going on?" ”

Cheng Qi frowned slightly: "As long as Cheng Yan and I?" ”

Because of Cheng Pei's deception of the two of them last night, Cheng Yan naturally raised his vigilance, stopped Cheng Qi's arm, and said, "I don't know if this is true." ”

When the sixth son heard this, he was a little anxious and said: "It's true, Young Master Zongyu, you believe me, my father is waiting there, he is in a hurry, I have never seen him in such a hurry." ”

When Cheng Qi heard this, he raised his head and looked at Cheng Yan, and said calmly: "With you, it will be fine." ”

Cheng Yan loved to listen to this sentence, so she walked one step ahead of her in the direction pointed by Liuzi, Cheng Qi hurriedly followed behind, but the ground was full of soft mud, very unloaded, she didn't take a few steps, she felt that her legs were sore, and the embroidered shoes did not follow her feet, and they always fell.

After Cheng Yan walked in front, he glanced back casually, and frowned helplessly, not knowing when the girl was so far away by herself, and shouted: "Hurry up!" ”

Cheng Qi was weak, and while looking down at his feet, he shouted: "You go over to find Cao Kuangtou first, I have to walk slowly, my shoes are ......."

Halfway through his words, Cheng Qi only felt a gust of breeze blowing on his face, and looked up puzzled, Cheng Yan didn't know when he walked back, and without saying a word, he hugged her horizontally.

Cheng Qi exclaimed, subconsciously hugged his neck, and said, "Scare me." ”

"You're retarded."

Cheng Yan said in disgust, and then looked at the six sons who were a little stunned not far away, raised his eyebrows domineeringly, and his tone was even more unquestionable: "What are children looking at." ”

Liuzi muttered and turned around: "Whoever is a child, I am twelve." ”

…

…

On the other side, Cheng Yan hugged Cheng Qi, ran his feet lightly, crossed two or three small hills like the wind under his feet, and found Cao Kuangtou, who was standing in the distance.

The man's expression was very vigilant, as if he was afraid of people approaching, and when he saw that Cheng Qi and Cheng Yan had finally come over, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Qi and Young Master Zongyu are here." ”

Cheng Qi was still in Cheng Yan's arms, and when he saw that the destination had arrived, he patted the man's chest, and Cheng Yan hugged her for a few more seconds before letting her down, and then asked calmly, "What's wrong?" In such a hurry, let me and Xiaoqi come over, and no third party is allowed to approach. ”

Cao Kuangtou was still not at ease, walked to the high place, looked left and left, and then went to the front of Cheng Yan and the two, and took out a small handful of things from his pocket.

When the palm was spread, Cheng Qi's pupils shrank slightly, and even Cheng Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and asked coldly, "Where did you get these broken gold?" ”

That's right, the thing in the head of the Cao mine is a small handful of broken gold.

But Cao Kuangtou didn't answer immediately, just handed over the broken gold to Cheng Qi, looked down to find a general location, squatted down carefully, stirred the soil with his hands, and then opened it like noodles, touched a hard object from it, picked it up and wiped it, and it was a small piece of broken gold.

Cheng Qi glared, put the gold in Cheng Yan's hand, and regardless of the rules and clothes, squatted next to Cao Kuangtou, and sighed: "This ...... How can gold be born in this ground? ”

"This ...... I don't know. ”

Cao Kuangtou stretched out his hand to stir in the mud, and Cheng Qi also rolled up his sleeves to follow, and the two of them found four or five small pieces in a short time, although the number was not much, but it was indeed pure.

"I didn't expect that there is such a fertile land next to this mine." Cheng Yan looked at it with a disdainful face on the side, he now understands why Cao Kuangtou doesn't let others get close, even his own son doesn't reveal anything, if there are outsiders who want to see money, it will be bad.

"It should be a heavy rain last night, accompanied by a small earthquake on the mountain, which brought up the broken gold under the surface of the earth." Cheng Qi analyzed, "Look at the ion ore here is not far away, if you dig for it, it will be a ......."

Wait.

A thought flashed through Cheng Qi's mind, she looked up at Cao Kuangtou, the person touched the shock in the depths of her eyes, and she also reacted blankly, slapped her forehead and said, "Yes!" ”

Cheng Yan looked at the two of them beside him, frowned a little unhappily, and said to Cao Kuangtou: "What is it?" Let's make it clear. ”

Cao Kuangtou explained: "Young Master Zongyu, you forgot, I told you before, every day after noon at the foot of this mountain, there is an old man surnamed Xu who drives the ducks to come and put them, and I still wonder about the mud and sand all over the mountain, what are those ducks to eat, and now it seems that ......."

"Now it seems that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink."

Cheng Qi touched his chin thoughtfully, and then said to Cao Kuangtou: "Do you know where Uncle Xu's home is, this is more than gold, but it is not something he can take, this is the gold to be transported to the imperial court, he took it away privately, but he will lose his head." ”

Cao Kuangtou thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Remember, just a few miles to the east, there is a small wooden house of his own, and there is a courtyard outside, and he lives alone. ”

"Okay."

Cheng Qi said: "This matter must be dealt with as quickly as possible." Glancing at Cheng Yan, "It's not the most important thing for him to take the gold, the important thing is that if this matter is known to others, our Cheng family's room will be charged with a crime that is not strict." ”

Cheng Yan bowed his head, shouted twice, and asked the sixth son to come over.

"Since the sixth son has been to Uncle Xu's house." He said, "Wait a while, let the sixth son take us over, I heard that this old man Xu has been letting ducks for a few years, I'm afraid there is no less." ”

Cao Kuangtou recalled: "At the beginning, he didn't put so many ducks, and then he put more and more, and he must arrive every afternoon. ”

Cheng Qi thought for a while and said, "Brother Cao, wait a while, you will take a few guys to go over there with me, but I'm afraid that there is too much gold, and I and Cheng Yan's six sons and three people can't bring it back." ”

Cao Kuangtou responded.

…

…

got out of the carriage, on that wide plain, Uncle Xu's single-family small wooden building was very conspicuous, and the yard surrounded by the fence had to be half an acre, and it was made of good wood, which made Cheng Qi and Cao Kuangtou's guess even more certain.

There is not so much mud on the ground here, and the matter is very urgent, Cheng Qi walked quickly to the gate of the fence yard, shouted twice, and no one responded inside, looking at the empty duck nest, this old man Xu may have gone to put the ducks again.

Only this time, it should be a serious duck.

But at this time, it was a good time to go in and find evidence, Cheng Qi stretched out his hand and pushed the wooden fence hard, the sturdiness was okay, so he retreated a few meters, and then ran forward quickly, holding a board of the fence with his left hand, and crossed in like parkour!

Seeing this scene in the eyes of the sixth son, the man rubbed his eyes incredulously, and then looked at Cheng Yan, who was a little surprised and not smiling, and said, "Young Master Zongyu, this is ...... How did Miss Qi jump up and down...... This...... It's also too ......."

"How's that?"

Cheng Yan seems to like raising his eyebrows very much recently, and he picked it up again at the moment, but he picked it proudly, and it was rare to praise Cheng Qi behind his back, and said, "It's amazing, isn't it?" ”

Liuzi sighed and said, "Amazing, it's really amazing." ”

"That's it."

Cheng Yan smiled lightly: "Don't look at whose daughter-in-law it is." ”

With that, he strode to the gate, reached out and grasped the wide plank that was tied to the thick wire, and pushed it violently, and the wire was torn in an instant, and the wreckage collapsed everywhere.

Liuzi's eyes widened even more.

After Cheng Yan swept the hem of his clothes behind him, he walked in slowly, looked at the clean ground in the courtyard, and exhaled a little thoughtfully.

Liuzi hurriedly followed up.

Uncle Xu's small wooden building is two-storey, clean inside, quite elegant, and those new decorations and calligraphy and paintings, naturally not what he can buy duck eggs and duck meat, Cheng Qi upstairs and downstairs turned around, knowing that this person must have hidden gold, but he didn't know where it was.

Cheng Yan didn't come in, just stood in the courtyard and asked, "How is it?" Have you found a hidden cache of gold? This wooden building doesn't seem to be able to do much of a hidden grid, and if it did, it would be discovered at once. ”

Looking at Cheng Qi's frowning appearance, Cheng Yan knew that the man had nothing to gain, so he had to put on his armor and go into battle in person, turning around upstairs and downstairs, and doubting again and again: "It's strange, where can this old man hide the gold, it's really a hell." ”

"Miss Qi! Young Master Zongyu! Uncle Xu......"

"Hey, hey! Here's what's going on! ”

As soon as the anxious reminder of the sixth son was shouted out, he heard Uncle Xu's hoarse voice coming one after another, Cheng Qi turned around and found that the man was staring, holding on to the door frame, looking at the mess in the house in disbelief, raising his head and scolding: "You! You don't have the royal law! ”

"No king's law?"

Cheng Qi looked at him coldly and said, "I see, it's you Uncle Xu who has no king's law here, and you still refuse to say it, where did you hide the gold you collected privately?" ”
