AWB Chapter 242 Discovery of Silver Mine
Chapter 242 Discovery of Silver Mine
Who would do this? Wouldn't it be better to work honestly until retirement and gain both fame and fortune?
The current government has not said that it cannot tolerate him. If they want to wipe out his entire family, he needs to strike first.
Moreover, his daughter is already a royal concubine and is quite favored. According to normal logic, he should train his grandson well.
Then he used the power in his hands to push his grandson to a high position.
What is their purpose in doing this now?
Unless, unless, his grandson was not the emperor's son, but the product of his daughter's infidelity, or she became pregnant first and then entered the palace.
Only this possibility can explain everything that is happening before our eyes.
Then let me ask you, when did she enter the palace?
Anyway, based on her years of experience in reading books and watching videos, she believes that the probability of this happening is very high.
She didn't believe that a few big families would easily play this game at the cost of the lives of nine clansmen.
There must be greater gains and interests luring them, making them willing to make such plans and take such risks.
Shen Ruyi quickly came to the intersection where she had parted with Sister Yiren.
I thought Sister Yiren would definitely come back before me, but it turned out that she was later than me.
This means that something must have been delayed.
Maybe there is some important discovery, so I went to take a look. I looked for the tunnel and ran quickly.
After walking for more than 10 minutes, we found ourselves at three forks in the road. I was really amazed.
This time, Shen Ruyi plans to take the path on the far right.
A "right 1" with a forward arrow was also written on the wall using modern Chinese characters and numbers.
If she sees this, she should understand what I mean.
This time I jogged for nearly half an hour, but still couldn't see the end. It felt like the probability of us leaving the city was very high.
After jogging for more than 20 minutes, I finally reached the end and a stone gate.
There was no sound outside, so Shen Ruyi tried to push open the stone door and got out.
When I took a look, I saw that it was directly out of the city and in a big mountain. No wonder it took me so long to get there.
Still in a small valley.
Shen Ruyi walked around and looked around, and saw that there were nothing but mountains everywhere, stretching endlessly.
There were no particularly conspicuous traces or footprints near the exit, and Shen Ruyi didn't know which way to go.
Shen Ruyi entered the space and put on a khaki dress that the original owner had worn before.
I put on a pair of cotton gloves and climbed up the mountain. The higher I climbed, the more I could see.
After climbing for another 20 minutes, Shen Ruyi decided to take a break before climbing again.
Suddenly, I vaguely saw someone walking back and forth on the top of a small hill in the distance opposite to me.
Shen Ruyi took out the telescope and took a look. Yes, there were indeed three people, and they seemed to be on patrol.
Sneak over to take a look? Now that we are here!
Curiosity killed the cat.
Shen Ruyi looked at the direction of the mountains between the two and thought about the approximate difficulty.
I chose to continue climbing this trail. As long as I get over the top of the hill, I’ll be standing higher than the patrolmen and will be safer.
Go around from the top of the mountain.
Otherwise, you have to go down the mountain, walk through the ravines and gullies, and be careful not to be discovered by the other party at any time.
It took Shen Ruyi nearly 50 minutes to reach the top of the mountain where the patrolman was.
However, Shen Ruyi did not meet the person face to face. He avoided him and found a cliff with a lot of visibility and looked down.
Below was a particularly large valley, with many people busy coming in and out.
Some people were carrying things into a cave.
The mountain should be hollowed out.
The things Shen Ruyi could think of that could be done secretly in the mountains were either training private soldiers or discovering gold, silver, iron or copper mines.
Crouch down, continue observing with a telescope, and you can rule out military training.
Because these people have no posture when standing or walking. They don't match the army in Shen Ruyi's mind.
That means there is a mine. No matter what kind of mine it is, Shen Ruyi feels that she needs to go there and get some for herself.
Sometimes I wonder, why do we still do business?
As long as you practice your kung fu well, and when you have nothing to do, you can visit and go around the homes of those ministers and aristocratic families who have a bad reputation, what kind of life can't you live?
It's more than enough, what else is there to struggle for?
I finally understand why some people always take risks to steal.
Because, being a thief can be quite enjoyable and pleasurable sometimes.
He took the telescope and looked around carefully again.
I rehearsed the information I just saw in my mind and chose the relatively best option.
action.
When Shen Ruyi completely reached the bottom of the big mountain valley, he found that it was indeed hollowed out as he had guessed.
There are four large caves in total. In addition to the people who actually do the work, there are four supervisors standing outside the caves with whips in their hands.
Shake it up every now and then.
Those who were working were skinny, with sunken eye sockets, and their clothes were so dirty and torn that they could not be seen as clothes, but more like strings of rags.
He repeated the movements in his hands numbly like a puppet, without any sadness or joy.
No human form!
Shen Ruyi looked at everything in front of her, her blood boiling, and she wanted to kill Prime Minister Ji and his gang of bastards!
They must die!
At this moment, Shen Ruyi suddenly wanted to kill someone.
Calm down your mood.
Shen Ruyi felt near the entrance of the hole where the things were carried in, took out a slingshot, and threw a random stone to the other side.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the patrolman was distracted and went over to check, he slipped directly into the cave.
After walking about 3 minutes inside, the cave split into two paths.
One was brightly lit and filled with clanging sounds; the other was pitch dark and quiet.
Shen Ruyi turned into the pitch-black cave.
I didn't encounter anyone on guard. Maybe the owner of this place is very confident about the security measures here.
After turning a few corners, we arrived in front of several rooms.
He took out the key, opened the door of one of the rooms, and went in.
There were many large boxes neatly stacked inside. Shen Ruyi closed the door, took out an LED light, and opened the boxes to check.
Open the box on the upper layer, it's full of silver ingots. They're mining silver here, these silver ingots are almost the same as official silver.
This will continue to circulate in the market.
Ordinary people would not look at it so carefully. As long as it is silver, it can be cut into pieces and used.
However, these silver coins were minted in two sizes, one was the common standard 10 taels of silver, and the other looked like 5 taels.
Collect all.
As for leaving it as evidence? Forget it. Who knows when the government will send people to encircle and suppress it?
Encirclement and suppression cannot be achieved with just words; it requires real manpower.
Given the government's current capabilities, it is hard to say how many of its own people it has available.
If you stay, it's easy to alert the enemy and get directly transferred away. It's like throwing a meat bun at a dog, and there's no way back.
It’s better to keep it with you for safety, and find a way to give it away later.
What is taken from the people should be used for the people.
