After Gao Zhao settled the Wen family, he began to investigate the issue of national ores.

The meme of collusion between officials and businessmen is so popular at any time. Mu Xiaoxiao was called over by Gao Zhao after he finished practicing.

"Today, you and Weiming went to Fengyuan, and the palace wanted to know if there was room for slowing down in this matter. Gao Zhao took out a fold.

Mochizuki looked at it and handed it to Mu Xiaoxiao.

This is the seal body, and Mu Xiaoxiao probably saw the meaning. This is equivalent to anti-corruption, and she is a member of the anti-corruption. To tell the truth, anti-corruption has always been dangerous, exciting, and brain-burning. Her brain can't burn, but she wants to be a female Zhanzhao and be his bodyguard by Bao Heizi's side. Uh、、、、、、 she looked at the bag of sunspots, no, it's Mochizuki Weiming, this is a bag of whites!

Three days later, the two arrived at the Northwest Mine, where most of the miners had been exiled for crimes, and only a small number of local residents had been forced to make ends meet, and once inside, it was not so easy to get out again.

Mu Xiaoxiao never thought that she could meet an acquaintance here!

The man was dressed in brocade, with a dignified appearance, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a person he was once familiar with, and then he looked closely, in addition to a little more serious and noble than before, he looked exactly the same, he was by the side of Fengyuan Mansion Yin at this time, holding a booklet with an expressionless face.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at his expression, but he wasn't sure if it was someone he knew.

"Xiaguan Mengchao saw my lord. A middle-aged man in his forties said.

"Adults don't have to be polite!" Mochizuki politely gave a sigh of relief.

The group entered the official office, and Mu Xiaoxiao took out the jade plate that proved his identity.

He looked at it carefully and handed it to her.

"I don't know what the big man is here this time, what is the so-called matter?" Meng Qichao made a gesture of please, and Mochizuki picked up the water glass.

"I came to inspect it at the behest of the Holy Lord's order, and this gold mine bore the brunt. Mochizuki was not polite, and directly picked out the intention.

Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned, shouldn't the people who come to investigate the case be done in secret, in case they startle the snake?

"Oh, sir, please take a look、、、" he glanced at the man holding the booklet, and the man placed it on the table.

"This booklet clearly records the mining interviews of the last year, as well as its billet weight and net weight, and the amount that went into the treasury. Meng Qichao opened the booklet.

Mochizuki picked up the booklet and skimmed through it, and then handed the booklet to Mu Xiaoxiao.

"This official is temporarily staying in Fengyuan Post House, if you need help from an adult, please don't refuse. Mochizuki stood up.

"It's inconvenient for adults to live in the post station, why don't you go to live in this official mansion, I don't know what to do?" Meng Qichao invited.

"No, thank you for your kindness. After speaking, he and Mu Xiaoxiao went out of the official office together.

Wuyu waited by the carriage, and the group returned to the Fengyuan Post House.

This post house is particularly quiet, I heard that Fengyuan is very rich, look at the furnishings of this post house, Mu Xiaoxiao knows that what he says is not necessary.

Mochizuki picked up the booklet and flipped it up again, and Mu Xiaoxiao asked, "Can you believe this booklet?" What if someone makes a fake and writes it is not true?"

Mochizuki closed the booklet: "If someone does a fake and is not found out by the palace, then it is really the palace that will also check it." ”

It turns out that how many mines are dug out every day will be recorded as a record of the day, and the palace will do a comparison every half a month, and then make a comparison of the previous amount. It's impossible to say that it's not bad at all, but if there are too many, it will definitely be discovered.

The gold here is the purest quality, the country's gold ingots are used here for gold, in order to prevent the loss of gold, there are special supervisors to supervise, if someone is corrupt can not know, you must know that the supervisors are all protégés of the emperor and nobles in Beijing, there are many people, no one can buy everyone at the same time, because these people are mutually contained, they may move other thoughts, but will never move on the gold mine.

Mu Xiaoxiao and Mochizuki have been investigating around for several days, and on their fifth day, there were a few more people in the inn, and she fixed her eyes to see that it was Xiaoxiang in men's clothes.

"Why are you here?" Mu Xiaoxiao, who had just come back from outside, blurted out when he saw her.

"Why can't I be here?" Xiaoxiang asked rhetorically, with a mocking expression.

"This is where the officials live、、、、、、。 Halfway through Mu Xiao's novel, Xiaoxiang took out a jade card.

"I also came out by divine decree to investigate the gold mines. Xiaoxiang looked proud.

When Mu Xiaoxiao saw the jade card, he stopped talking, because the jade card was exactly the same as the one Mochizuki was holding, the only difference was that Xiaoxiang's piece was hung with bright yellow tassels, while Mochizuki's piece was a white tassel.

This shows that Xiaoxiang's piece is the one used by the emperor of Jinguo himself, and the emperor can give it to her, needless to say, it was given by her good mother-in-law Guo Zhilan.

"What the hell are you here for?" asked Mu Xiaoxiao.

"Why, do you think that when I get married, I will be like an ancient woman, teaching my husband and children at home, abiding by my husband's virtues, not going out of the door, and not stepping out of the second door?" Xiaoxiang didn't know whether it was Chao Xiaomu Xiaoxiao or himself, and his expression was a little indifferent.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't speak, maybe in her heart, she hoped that Xiaoxiang could be like this, it would be better if she had another child, after all, when a woman has a child, she will have a soft side, and there must be no ambition and energy to plot anything.

"Didn't you promise me not to help Gao Zhao?" Xiaoxiang said angrily.

Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be shocked when she heard her call the prince by his name, and looked around, there was no one but the two of them in the small garden behind.

"I didn't say yes, I just told you not to think about it. Mu Xiaoxiao replied honestly.

"How much do I think?" Xiaoxiang bited: "Do I still think too much about what happened?"

Mu Xiaoxiao heard her say this, and said strangely: "What happened?"

"Don't worry about this!" she added: "Don't check the gold mine now, go back to the snow country, find hibiscus, don't you like him?

"That's impossible! Mu Hibiscus is from Tianjin, and he still wants to come back!" Mu Xiaoxiao replied.

"Come back?" Xiao Xiang mocked: "He has to be able to come back! Let me tell you, he can safely spend the rest of his life in the snow country, if he returns to the country of Jin, then whether he can survive is still a big question!" After speaking, he turned around and left.

Mu Xiaoxiao's brain was about to turn into a pulp, she couldn't figure it out, how could Mu Hibiscus not survive when she returned to Jinguo? And the crown prince Gao Zhao and Mu Hibiscus still have a relationship, and all the crossing girls have a good ending, she believes that she will be able to fight these ancients thousands of years ago.

When Mochizuki returned, he had a sad face. Mu Xiaoxiao asked worriedly, "Still can't find anything?"

"The gold mines in Tianjin have been declining, and a lot of arable land has been destroyed, and the people here are complaining. He took a sip of water: "Now Meng Qichao is still abusing these slave miners very badly, I don't know what to do." Mochizuki had a sad face.

He represents the crown prince, and if he interferes in the people's farming or abuses the miners, he will inevitably attract resentment to the prince. Fengcheng is the support of the royal wealth, once he offends the local officials, in the days to come, if the crown prince succeeds to the throne, the treasury is empty, it will be a fatal blow to him.

Although the five princes are good, they have an ambitious mother, and now he asks Xiaoxiang to take the jade plate for the emperor's own use, then she represents the emperor.

Mu Xiaoxiao's heart was also confused, what did Xiaoxiang want to do this time? Is the reduction in the output of this gold mine still related to the five princes? Or is it related to Guo Guifei's maiden family?

The two discussed it again and decided to go to the mine tomorrow to have a look, maybe there would be some gains.

The next day, they went to the largest gold mine in Fengtan, Jinfudi, which was littered with rubble, poorly dressed laborers in prison clothes and officers and soldiers with leather whips in their hands.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the large mine, except for the stones, there were only a few simple thatched huts, and a little further in the center, there were a few forest houses, the sun was very strong, and those prisoners were sweating and their hands were rough.

Mu Xiaoxiao's heart ached, and she couldn't say how uncomfortable it was. Because in her heart, even if she wants people to work, she should be well fed and clothed, but the people here are thin and dry, and their faces are yellow.
