Chapter 869

"What's so good about golden veins? Don't you have to hand them over to the country in the end, you don't think you found out that golden veins are your own?" Li Zhenbang shook his head, monopolizing golden veins is a felony of treason.

Even local emperors like Hou Guangzu dare not monopolize the gold veins, and have to pay a large amount of taxes and most of the gold mines produced every year.

For Li Zhenbang, owning a gold mine is simply a thankless task. After paying so much, most of it will be handed over to the state in the end. It is better to do nothing.

As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind, otherwise looking at the golden gold away from you every day, this feeling will drive people crazy.

Even if Li Zhenbang no longer has any feelings for gold coins, his heart will also collapse when he sees his gold coins being taken away by cart after cart.

"If this golden vein is really so easy to find, do you think our family will be silenced?" Meng Ting'an looked at Li Zhenbang as if he was looking at an idiot.

"This is Jinguang City, which is rich in gold. It's no big deal to have one or two more branches on the gold vein." Li Zhenbang said with some disdain.

Although Li Zhenbang didn't know about the Golden Vein, he had heard a thing or two about it. On the main vein of the Golden Vein, both the content and quantity of gold mines were far greater than those in the branch veins, and some of the branch veins didn't need to be developed at all.

Li Zhenbang doesn't believe that a branch can be excavated for hundreds of years, or if it is fully excavated, it is simply nonsense, and the main branch may not be able to be excavated for hundreds of years.

"I'm not talking about a branch, but a main vein, and it's a main vein that doesn't overlap with the current golden vein. The most important thing is that it has a very high degree of concealment. If it wasn't discovered by my father by accident, I'm afraid No one will know at all." Meng Tingan clenched his fists tightly, and his feelings for this golden vein were very complicated.

"If there is such a golden vein, I don't believe that your father will not be moved. Your father will not be killed by Hou Guangzu because of the uneven distribution of spoils, right?" Omega said angrily.

"Fart! I don't allow you to insult my father!" Meng Ting'an turned his head and stared at Omega with rounded eyes. His eyes were a little red, obviously agitated.

"Brother, if you talk too much, I'll kick you out!" Li Zhenbang looked at Omega threateningly.

Omega pouted, "If you don't say it, don't say it, can't I listen to you?"

"Okay, Meng Tingan, you continue." Li Zhenbang signaled Meng Tingan to continue.

"Hmph!" Meng Tingan snorted coldly, and continued: "After my father discovered the golden vein, he told Zhao Shouquan about the golden vein immediately, and hoped that he would report this matter to the court. You must know that the discovery of the golden vein is not a trivial matter. This matter is a very good thing for the country, but Zhao Shouquan and Hou Guangzu actually want to secretly take this golden vein as their own."

"After my father found out, he didn't tell Zhao Shouquan the location of the Jinmai. He wanted to report the matter to His Majesty the King himself, but before the matter was reported, my father was killed by Hou Guangzu!" Meng Tingan clenched his fists Hold, the knuckles are a little white.

"Then how did you escape? How did you know the location of Jinmai?" Li Zhenbang looked at Meng Ting'an suspiciously.

"My father had already guessed that they would attack him, so he made some preparations in advance, but he didn't expect them to attack so quickly, otherwise I wouldn't be the only one who escaped." Meng Tingan's fist suddenly bled. It turned out that his nails had pierced the palm of his hand, but he didn't know it.

"At that time, my father wrote everything on a piece of silk and put it in my arms. Later, following the guidance of the silk, I did find the golden vein. Although I don't know how big the golden vein is, how can I find it? How long will it take to dig, but I believe that my father's judgment will not be wrong!" Meng Tingan seemed to see his father sinking his head in deep thought,

The scene when I was still calculating on paper late at night.

"Even if no one can find out, it can be completely private, but I don't seem to have much interest, because it requires too much manpower and material resources. With such a large amount of manpower and material resources, it will leak sooner or later. .” Li Zhenbang shook his head, Jinmai is really not attractive to Li Zhenbang.

"Even if there is no news about private mining, there is a great possibility that so many ores will be discovered whether they are smelted or circulated, and they will be exposed sooner or later. I don't have such a big advantage as Jin Guangcheng. Mine, mine more, and you can do it without anyone noticing."

"If you really want revenge, you can actually hand over your golden pulse." Li Zhenbang said suddenly.

"Hand it over? Are you crazy? Doesn't that suit Zhao Shouquan and Hou Guangzu's wishes? The reason why they didn't kill me is that they hoped that I could tell them about Jinmai."

"Once I tell them, they will definitely kill me to prevent leaks. It doesn't matter if I die, but how can I explain to my parents? Even if things happen later, I won't see their end!" Meng Tingan's eyes were very complicated. , There are unwillingness, regret, and annoyance, but there is no fear, obviously he is really not afraid of death.

"Huh?" Meng Tingan frowned suddenly, then took two steps back, looking at Li Zhenbang warily, "You are not Zhao Shouquan or Hou Guangzu's lackey, are you?"

"You are the running dog! This is my first time in Jinguang City, and we met by accident. If those people didn't provoke us, do you think I would save you by the way? I don't have that much time!" Li Zhenbang's face darkened , looked at Meng Tingan dissatisfied.

"The first time? Unintentionally? I'm afraid it was all designed by you, right? Otherwise, why did you ask me to hand over the information of Jinmai to Hou Guangzu?" Meng Tingan's silver grudge flowed faintly on the surface of his body, and it seemed that he might attack him at any time Li Zhenbang launched an attack.

Li Zhenbang shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent, "It's up to you whether to do it or not, I'm just a suggestion."

"Proposal? No matter whether I follow your proposal or not, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave easily?" Meng Tingan looked around vigilantly, looking for a way out.

Once Li Zhenbang showed any hostility, he would run away immediately. The golden pulse that his father tried his best to keep, he said that he could not give it to Zhao Shouquan and Hou Guangzu.

Meng Ting'an is not greedy for Jinmai, because he knows that it is a hot potato, and even if other people don't know it, he has no ability to deal with it.

For him, Jinmai is basically a curse, but Jinmai is also a capital, a capital that can exchange the lives of Zhao Shouquan and Hou Guangzu. Whoever can take the lives of the two of them and avenge him, he will give the golden pulse to him.

In fact, Meng Tingan has a very suitable candidate in his heart, but this person is hard to come by. With his identity and ability, it is difficult to meet this person.

"You can leave as you want, and none of us will stop you. We saved you just casually, and we didn't expect you to repay you. You are like this, what can we expect you to repay? If you are really not interested in things, you can also find other people to try, maybe you will meet a few people who want money and life, so you can fight for it?" Li Zhenbang had a sarcasm smile on his lips.

Whether it is Zhao Shouquan or Hou Guangzu, how can it be so easy to kill? If it was really that easy, how could they survive till now? The grass on the grave has no idea how tall it will grow!

"You really won't stop me?" Meng Tingan looked at Li Zhenbang cautiously, and moved towards the door cautiously.

Li Zhenbang deliberately moved his body to the side to get out of the way of the main entrance, and then pouted his mouth towards the door, signaling Meng Tingan to take it easy.

Meng Tingan took a few steps quickly, and when he was about to reach the door, he put his toes on the ground hard, and his whole body rose into the air, and rushed out of the door.

"Crack... plop... ah..." Suddenly there was a strange noise outside the door, followed by a commotion. Li Zhenbang grinned, revealing a smug smirk.

It wasn't that Li Zhenbang was in an ambush outside, but because this was the second floor of the inn, there was a wooden fence outside the door, and the hall was under the fence, and there were quite a few people in the hall.

Meng Tingan has been guarding against the surroundings outside the door, but he didn't expect that there was nothing outside the door. His attention was not focused on the front, so he hit the wooden fence directly, and then fell directly from the second floor to the hall. On the ground, fortunately, none of the unlucky ones were hit.

If this was the third floor or higher, Meng Ting'an would have time to adjust his posture in the air, at least he wouldn't fall to the ground in all directions.

"Hey! If you're not careful, I'm afraid you'll have to rest here for a few more days!" Standing by the broken wooden fence, Li Zhenbang waved at Meng Tingan, who just got up downstairs and was dusting his body, and shouted. .

Meng Tingan's face was flushed, he didn't know whether he fell or was ashamed, and ran out of the inn without looking back.

Li Zhenbang and everyone looked at each other, and everyone burst into laughter. This Meng Ting'an could be regarded as bringing a little joy to everyone's nervous mood.

Although this joy was based on Meng Tingan's embarrassment, everyone's unhappiness these days was somewhat relieved because of Yuchen's incident, and another reason was because there was already some news about Yuchen.

During the past few days when Meng Tingan was asleep, everyone was not idle, and they were still trying to find out about Yuchen. The hard work paid off in the end. With Ye Xun's help and everyone's inquiries, they finally got some useful information.

In fact, there is no surprise, whether it is Yuchen or Qiuxia, they are all human beings, and if they are human, they will have intersections with other people, and there will always be clues left when there are intersections.

"Huh? Why is he back?" Just as Li Zhenbang and the others were about to go back to the room to tidy up and leave, Long Miaomiao suddenly saw a familiar figure rushing back to the inn.
