Chapter 296 A foreign businesswoman can save the people of the world
Luogu Lane is not far away, and it takes only a quarter of an hour to ride on horseback.
With the address confirmed, the officers and soldiers rushed into the seemingly dilapidated and desolate yard like wolves and tigers.
The beams covered with spider webs and the shabby house with bare walls do not look like they can hide money.
Don’t let that woman talk nonsense, right? !
Dai Zhifang looked around, then pointed to a well in the corner of the yard and ordered: "Someone, come down to the well and have a look!"
In full view of everyone, a forbidden soldier who was good at swimming stood up, took off his clothes and only wore A pair of single pants went down the rope.
Is there really hidden silver in the narrow well mouth that is just big enough for a person to sink in?
Everyone is suspicious.
After a while, the swimming Imperial Army came up with shock in his eyes: "Commander Qi, there is gold all down there! I don't know how much there is!"
Dai Zhifang’s eyes also shone: What a great contribution!
"Fill!"
In the small yard, the sound can be heard: everyone is afraid that they cannot hear the sound coming from the well.
With the sound of water rushing and the muffled sound of heavy objects being put into the barrel, soon, a barrel was pulled up by a rope.
There are bright yellow pieces in the wooden barrel. What are they if they are not gold ingots?
Dai Zhifang was also unambiguous: "Card them one by one so that they can be counted later."
Immediately, two forbidden soldiers came forward and placed the poured out gold ingots on the bluestone slab and arranged them neatly.
"It must have been put in temporarily! Just to frame the Duke of Min's government!"
Some students refused to believe that what they saw was the truth and shouted.
But no one responded to him, everyone was stunned by the gold.
Let’s talk after you finish fishing.
Dai Zhifang thought the same way: we’ll talk about it after we finish fishing.
As bucket after bucket of gold ingots were fished out and placed into piles of gold, everyone’s eyes turned green.
The gold ingots, the further back they are taken out, the darker they become, and some even have traces of moss or even small screws attached to them...
This time, it’s the same thing I was shouting about before. The student who said "put it in temporarily" didn't dare to say it anymore.
How could the gold that was put in temporarily change color and still have moss attached to it? !
This has obviously been sunk in the water for many years...
Because the hole is too small, the gold can only be pulled up bucket by bucket from below with small buckets.
From early morning to sunset.
When the salvage was finally completed, the lights were on!
There were piles of gold beside the well, five thousand taels in each pile, and there were actually fifty piles...
Everyone was very excited: Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold!
The imperial troops fishing for gold were so tired that they changed several times, but the common people and a few students never left during the whole process.
They were eye-opening!
They were also shocked and lamented the greed of Duke Min.
The people were so excited that they whispered to each other: There is so much gold in front of them!
This is a scene that he has never seen in several lifetimes, and he can brag about it for the rest of his life!
The students' faces were ashen, but at this moment, the emperor ordered: "Bring the students into the palace."
The students' legs weakened: It's over!
The emperor wants to settle accounts after the fall.
Under the guise of working for the sake of the people, my group went to kneel at the gate of the palace for Duke Min, but they were shocked to find that Duke Min had hidden so much gold!
They themselves can predict that they will become a joke in the capital tomorrow.
Their careers are destined to be hopeless in the future...
They thought that entering the palace was equivalent to entering a prison cell, but the students suddenly discovered that they were not entering a prison cell, but a wing.
There are several full portions of food placed in the room. Although it is not rich, it is enough to fill the stomach.
There is also a ground dragon in the house, which is so warm that it makes your bones soft.
The Forbidden Army guard pointed at Datongpu: "You sleep here tonight, the food is on the table, you can eat and sleep."
After saying that, the Forbidden Army guard closed the door. Out.
Several students looked at each other in disbelief, picked up the food and ate it doubtfully. But after just two bites, they started vomiting.
"Brother Chen, this dish tastes bitter! It's poisonous!"
"It is! It's bitter! It must be poisonous!"
"The dog thief named Fu wants to lock us up. Here, poison them quietly!"
"Fu Zhonghai, you are trying to usurp the throne..."
As soon as the students started shouting and cursing, the door was suddenly kicked open. , Cui Chaoyong, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood at the door, his face covered with frost.
The students' yelling stopped abruptly: "What do you mean?"
Has the Minister of Household Affairs come to collect the corpse?
Shouldn’t it be the Imperial Army coming to collect the corpses?
Cui Chaoyong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stepped forward first: "You are right, this food is poisonous. I ordered it to be poisoned."
The students did not believe it.
Chen Yangzu even said bluntly: "You are just a dog from the Fu family. How dare you to poison the legitimate sons of several of our great families?!"
"The Fu family father and son must have ordered you to poison! "
Cui Chaoyong is not upset: "This poison is the worst private salt from the salt mine."
"It was sold to the people of the world by the Minguo Palace, which you said was innocent. That kind."
As he spoke, Cui Chaoyong waved, and someone brought in a bowl of coarse salt with rough grains, different sizes, and yellow color.
"Here, this is it."
"The salt produced in the salt mine is highly poisonous. To find a way to remove the poison, it requires experienced craftsmen and a lot of effort, manpower and material resources to do it."
"In order to reduce consumption, Duke Min did not strictly follow the detoxification process of the private salt, so he sold it quietly."
"Everyone in the world knows that private salt is poisonous. If you eat it for a long time, your life will be shortened. ”
“But people must not eat salt, otherwise they will die faster.”
"The lesser of two evils, they had no choice but to buy illegal salt to eat and poison themselves themselves."
Chen Yangzu didn't believe it at all: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
" How can private salt be poisonous?”
“You must have lied to me with your nonsense!”
Cui Chaoyong sneered: “This is a secret known to everyone in the world!” br>
"If you think I lied to you, when you go back home, just go to the lowest servant room in your house and taste their food."
"See if their food is also bitter?"< br>
“Ask them, is this salt poisonous?”
After saying this, Cui Chaoyong asked someone to bring out a bowl of fine white but slightly bluish salt.
“This is the salt you often eat. The bitterness has been basically removed and the toxicity has been dealt with. If it is diluted in dishes, you can hardly taste it.”
"The price of this salt is five times that of the private salt just now, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary people in their lifetime."
"This is the salt you have been eating for more than ten years."< br>
Cui Chaoyong then asked someone to bring a bowl of fine white salt without any color.
“This is the salt brought by the foreign businesswoman in your mouth. It is non-toxic and has no peculiar smell.”
“This kind of salt was brought by Miss Xiao, who sells it in the capital. Listed in bulk.”
"The price of this is the same as the private salt currently on the market."
"You said that His Highness the Crown Prince neglected a young lady from an aristocratic family because of a foreign businesswoman."
"Foreign businesswoman It can save the people of the world! Let them not eat the poisonous illicit salt sold by Min Guo Gongfu!” "Li Ming?"
"In a different place, in your heart, is a foreign businesswoman who can save the world really inferior to a young lady from a wealthy family?"
