Huo Xingwen led everyone to the back of the house and walked to the well.
In everyone's surprised eyes, he jumped directly into the well.
Duan Wenjun was shocked when he saw this. He hurriedly looked down and saw ripples on the water in the well, but Huo Xingwen was nowhere to be seen.
Just a few breaths later, Huo Xingwen's head emerged from the water.
He held a cloth bag in his arms and handed it to Duan Wenjun.
Duan Wenjun was slightly stunned and hurriedly took it.
The cloth bag was actually very heavy, so he had to use all his strength to lift it up.
Huo Xingwen stepped on the well wall with both feet, and quickly climbed up like a gecko with its limbs spread out.
He was wet all over, but he didn't care. He looked at Duan Wenjun and said, "Mr. Duan, there were many misunderstandings before. It was our Huo brothers who were rude. This bag should be regarded as our meeting gift to you. I apologize to you."
Duan Wenjun looked at him, then unsealed the bag in confusion, and was immediately stunned.
Sands!
Inside the bag, those tiny yellow particles were actually all gold sand.
This is not the first time Duan Wenjun has seen Jinsha.
However, he was still shocked.
Because this was the first time he saw so many golden sands.
When he was on a mission in his previous life, Duan Wenjun went to a gold mining mine.
Gold mining workers stand in the river every day and wash away the sand in the fortress, hoping to wash out some gold sand.
Gold panning workers say that if they can find a few grains of gold sand the size of soybeans every day, they can live a prosperous life.
This is more than half a bag of gold sand...
This is a huge fortune.
Unexpectedly, Huo Xingwen took it out so easily.
The mineral resources in Dashun are basically controlled by the government.
Even if there are some minerals like Qifengya, they are only iron ores that are extremely difficult to mine.
As for general copper and silver mines, control is very strict, let alone gold mines.
However, it was unexpected that Huo Xingwen would take out so much gold sand at once, which must be unusual.
"Where did you get so much gold sand?" Before Duan Wenjun could speak, Yuan Gonggun on the side had already spoken first.
"We killed those robbers yesterday. When we were evacuating, we accidentally found them in the house." Huo Xingwen took off his clothes and twisted them, and then continued, "I didn't know what to do with them at the time, so I took them out and waited. After you left, we hid it in the well.”
"The imperial court has extremely strict control over gold mines. It is impossible for these people's gold sand to flow out from the imperial gold mines." Yuan Gungun's face became extremely serious. "So, there is only one possibility. The gold sand of these people They belong to Mr. Ma, and those robbers you mentioned are all Mr. Ma’s people.”
"Master Ma?" Duan Wenjun asked with confusion.
"The banditry in Dashun has never stopped. In addition to Thirty-six Islands and Seventy-two Cave, there are countless small groups of bandits." Yuan Gungun paused and continued, "But if you talk about these Who is the richest among the robbers, it must be Mr. Ma from Shanfeng Mountain."
Yuan Gongun didn't show off and continued talking.
Speaking of Shanfeng Mountain, it’s actually not that far away.
It is also on the Fushui River and adjacent to Laoshan.
Although Shanfeng Mountain is not as vast and tall as Mount Laoshan, it is full of cliffs, rugged rocks, and the terrain is very dangerous.
In this Shanfeng Mountain, there is also a huge gold mine hidden, and there is also a group of gold bandits who specialize in privately digging gold mines for a living.
The leader of this group of golden bandits is Mr. Ma.
The imperial court also attached great importance to the gold bandits on Shanfeng Mountain and had arranged many encirclement and suppression campaigns.
However, every time when the bandits were suppressed, the local defenders would be beaten by the gold bandits to the point where they would lose their armor and be defeated.
Even the local defenders didn't even touch the gate of the Golden Bandit's stronghold.
Later, the imperial court also dispatched elite border troops to carry out encirclement and suppression, but they also returned without success.
In the end, the court simply gave up.
However, even if the encirclement and suppression was abandoned, a border army was left behind.
They were on the outskirts of Shanfeng Mountain, chasing and intercepting the gold bandits, hoping to cut off some of the gold sand.
However, the results are actually very limited.
Because Ma Sanye's gold bandits are very cunning and can figure out the court's ambush arrangements every time.
Moreover, the routes they take to transport gold sand are also very hidden and difficult to be discovered.
Hearing what Yuan Gungun said, Duan Wenjun's face suddenly became extremely serious. "Second senior brother, you mean that those who killed Brother Huo's family were most likely the men of Master Ma? And this canyon, It could also be Shan Fengshan’s secret route to transport gold sand?”
When Huo Xingwen heard this, his expression instantly became extremely solemn.
He looked at Duan Wenjun and said, "Mr. Duan, it seems we can't go to Duanjiapu with you."
"Why?" Duan Wenjun was stunned.
"I have heard of the name of the golden bandit Ma Sanye." Huo Xingwen showed a wry smile. "This Ma Sanye has a violent personality, and he will retaliate. After he knows that the golden sand is lost, he will definitely send someone to investigate, and then he will definitely find out who it is. We killed his people and took away his goods. If we go to Duanjiabao, Mr. Ma will definitely follow us, which will definitely harm you, the young master."
"Brother Huo, if that's the case, I think you should go to Duanjiabao with me." Duan Wenjun shook his head, "After all, when you arrive at Duanjiabao, you will be a part of Duanjiabao. Naturally, we can't Let Mr. Ma do something bad to you."
"Sir, if Master Ma wants to deal with Duan Jiabao because of us, then..." Huo Xingwen was still very worried.
Duan Wenjun shook his head and interrupted him directly, "I think we must leave this place as soon as possible. It is best to eliminate all traces of this place."
"Since they passed by here, they must have known about our existence." Huo Xingwen was still hesitant.
"They may know that there is someone here, but they don't know who it is. Otherwise, why would they risk killing your family instead of waiting for you to come back and catch them all?" Duan Wenjun sighed, "Old Luo, set this place on fire." Just burn it, as long as it doesn't cause a wildfire."
The misunderstanding was cleared, and Huo Xingwen and his party followed Duan Wenjun back to the Luofengpo camp.
What came back with them were not only the three bags of gold sand they seized that day, but also the blind bear.
Since the people in the hut were killed by Huo Xingwen and the others, it was natural that the blind bear had never eaten anyone.
Blind Bear has never eaten a human being, so naturally he cannot let go of such delicious food.
The bear meat was roasting on the fire, and it was already giving off a burst of fragrance.
Yun Batian and Banderun had already walked out of the meeting hall.
The results of Luofengpo's first assessment are finally out...
