But one thing Li Zhao is happy about is that he finally has news about Gong Xiang. As long as there is news, there will be a chance to find him and remove this time bomb.
"It's Mr. Xiang. I will definitely not remember it wrong because they repeated it several times." Gouzi thought that the young master didn't believe it and said confidently.
"Oh! What else did you say?" Li Zhao became interested.
Gouzi thought about it, but he didn't really pay much attention to it at the time, so he didn't remember it clearly.
"It seems that this is a secret and cannot be told to others."
"Secret?" Li Zhao was shocked when he heard this.
For a man as cunning as Duke Xiang, with such a secret, he must have a big plan. What plan could it be? Suddenly he frowned again.
Whenever he faced Mr. Xiang, his heart felt like a lock. Even if he opened the lock, he would be trapped by another lock.
With the stability of the Qin Dynasty at this moment, what plans does Duke Xiang have? This problem gave him a headache.
Just now Gouzi said that burning the white flowers and the snow mountains is not a big plan. As far as uncle and mother are afraid of the land of white flowers, there will probably not be many people approaching. There is no need for Xiang Gong to plan. He wants to burn them all with a fire. That's it, and maybe it can become something that everyone talks about.
After all, removing the fear in people's hearts is what people would like to see.
The same is true for snow-capped mountains. They are not worthy of being kept secret, so what is this secret?
"Did they tell you what the secret was?"
Gouzi shook his head, because those people didn't say anything at that time.
Li Zhao sighed, but at this moment Ye spoke up, saying that this trip was meant to take credit.
"Sir, the little one may know."
oh!
Li Zhao raised his eyebrows and asked quickly: "What's the secret?"
"When I met the county captain with Wanshan, I heard them say that they wanted to make a big deal. The buyer was very mysterious. I guessed it might be Gong Xiang."
This was just his guess. He didn't know for certain whether it was true or not. However, there was absolutely nothing wrong with doing his best to please adults in order to survive.
"What's the deal?"
"Wan San didn't tell the villain, but the villain guessed it was Heishui, because they had a secret conversation and then ordered people to guard the place."
Ye pointed to the black well.
Li Zhao nodded. This made sense. The county captain could not risk being threatened by Gao Fa to intercept the news about Hu Heishui. He also wanted to surround the village and even kill the villagers. They would not do it without profit.
So it is not wrong to say that Duke Xiang wants to burn white flowers and snowy mountains.
But another question arises: why do they burn white flowers and snowy mountains? For normal people, no one would do such a thankless job. There must be a purpose for doing it.
What is the purpose?
Another difficult puzzle.
It was still his usual style, since he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it. The matter would eventually come to light one day. He just prayed that when the truth came out, it wouldn't cause too much damage.
But since the black water fell into his hands, he couldn't let Xiang Gong succeed. He had to mine the black water immediately to avoid future worries, and of course to prevent Xiang Gong from jumping over the wall and stealing it.
Now he was a little suspicious that the people Gouzi met at that time were the ones who leaked the news about Black Water, or maybe they were the ones who ordered the Linxian people to arrive.
In any case, this place must be strictly protected and will not be evacuated until the mining is completed.
"Wuquan, please contact Magistrate Pei immediately and ask him to closely protect this place, and instruct the people in the trading company to send more people to mine the black water and transport it to Shanglinyuan."
Although they have never met Magistrate Pei, let alone have any friendship with him, I believe they will do their best if they tell him his name. At this moment, Li Zhao's name has already resounded among the officials of Qin Dynasty.
However, mining and transportation are somewhat difficult.
But he won't worry about these things. He will leave everything to the commercial bank and believe that they will take care of it.
Another point is that since Xiang Gong is interested in Black Water, they will not be willing to lose it. Robbery is likely to happen midway, and he has to guard against it.
"Wuquan, all the guards you brought will stay here. Don't let Heishui suffer any losses."
Wu Quan did not immediately agree upon hearing this, but looked worried and asked: "What about you, young master? When will you return to Xianyang?"
"Go back immediately!"
In order to find Yin Man, he must report back to His Majesty as soon as possible before setting off to Baihua Valley.
"However, I am worried about the safety of the young master."
Li Zhao understood what Wu Quan meant. The guards were all here and there was no one to escort him.
"No problem!" Li Zhao waved his hand, "I came as I came, and I came back as I came back. Don't worry. Besides, there is Fan Kuai. Who dares to offend me again? Of course there is you. You must also go back to Shanglin Garden. Shanglin Garden cannot do without you. .”
Wu Quan was relieved a lot after hearing this. He thought the young master was going to leave him in this ungrateful place.
"promise!"
The next day, when everything was ready, they set off back to Xianyang.
Shanglin Garden, Secret Palace, the emperor was in a good mood today, and after doing some health care, he came up with the idea of going out for a walk.
Since entering the secret palace, based on various considerations, I went out for the last grand event. I have not left the secret palace yet. Even when I went to court, I had to summon all the ministers.
This was very painful for the ministers. In order to go to court, they had to travel between Xianyang and Shanglinyuan. Fortunately, there was a train, which saved a lot of time.
"Shang Xin! Is there any news about Li Zhao?"
He had already learned from the intelligence station what happened in Peixian County yesterday, and he knew that Afang, whom he longed for, was in Peixian County. This was the reason why he was in a good mood.
"Yes, according to reports, General Li has found a black water land in Pei County and is preparing to go to war to mine it."
