"Hehe, but I don't know why Duke Lu is here again?" Zheng Yuanshou asked without answering.

"I'm here to eat fast and chant Buddha, can't I?" Cheng Yaojin stared.

Zheng Yuanshou didn't agree with him: "Haha, that's a coincidence, the old man and brother are also like this, come to Xingguo Temple to eat fast and chant Buddha."

Cheng Yaojin looked at Zheng Yuanshou and then at Zheng Shanguo, suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly: "Wow, hahaha, it seems that Mr. Zheng also got the news? But he didn't expect the news to be revealed so quickly. I'm telling the truth. Well, you two are late, the monk of Xingguo Temple has already sold the stone mountain to Lao Tzu, please come back, Mr. Zheng!"

Zheng Yuanshou didn't believe it at all, and looked at Cheng Yaojin with a half-smile: "Oh? Then I don't know if Lu Guogong has a transaction document? Why didn't I hear the Ming Mansion in Duqu County talk about it? Zheng Ming Mansion, what Lu Guogong said Do you know about this?"

Behind the two stood a man in a light green official uniform, who was the county magistrate of Duqu County.He smiled and met Cheng Yaojin before he said: "I met Lu Guogong, Xingguo Temple sold this stone mountain to Lu Guogong? Why didn't the officials know about this?"

To buy and sell land and forests in the Tang Dynasty, you need to go to the county government to issue documents, and the county magistrate of Duqu County happens to be a member of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

Today Zheng Yuanshou was going to intimidate the righteous monk, so he naturally called him, the county magistrate of Duqu County.

Cheng Yaojin's face is also thick enough, and he doesn't panic if the lie is exposed face to face: "I have reached an agreement with the monk, and I will go to the county government to go through the formalities when we arrive."

Zheng Yuanshou said with a smile: "Haha, since you haven't handled the paperwork, you can't count. Lu Guogong, since my cousin and I are here, you are afraid that eating alone will not taste good?"

When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he couldn't help but stare at Zheng Yuanshou.

When the two sides were refusing to give in to each other, another person walked out of the temple, it was Li Wangyou.

When Zheng Yuanshou and Zheng Shanguo saw that Li Wangyou was here, they felt even more upset.

I originally thought that I could monopolize a high-yield gold mine, but why did everyone know about this special thing?What a ghost!

"I've seen the two Zheng Gongs, hehe, you two are in a good mood today, and you actually came here to visit Duqu County." Li Wangyou did not lose his courtesy, and greeted the two of them.

Seeing this situation, Zheng Yuanshou simply spread the matter out: "I didn't expect that I would meet Lu Guogong and Huxian Bo today. Since this is the case, I don't want to hide this gold mine anymore. Swallow it alone, I, the Zheng family of Xingyang, must share it!"

Now that the news of the matter had leaked out, Zheng Yuanshou knew that it would be impossible to keep it all to himself.

But the Zheng family would never let go of this high-yielding mountain range gold mine. At this time, Zheng Yuanshou's bottom line had become that he wanted to take at least one-third of it.

After all, whether it is Cheng Yaojin or Li Wangyou, neither the Zheng family of Xingyang can be subdued by power, so cooperation becomes the only choice.

Cheng Yaojin and Li Wangyou looked at each other, Li Wangyou nodded silently, expressing agreement with what Zheng Yuanshou said.

The Zheng family in Xingyang cannot drive away Cheng Yaojin and Li Wangyou, and in turn, they cannot drive away the Zheng family in Xingyang.

Cheng Yaojin raised his head and laughed, and made a gesture of invitation to Zheng Yuanshou and Zheng Shanguo: "In this case, the two Zheng Gongs, please come in, I will discuss it well, haha, that monk..."

Before Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he heard another sound of horseshoes not far away.Everyone searched for their voices, and at this moment, everyone's faces turned dark...

688 Gold Mine Not for Sale

The one who came on horseback was none other than the patriarchs of the other six families with five surnames and Qiwang.

In addition to the Zheng family in Xingyang, the Cui family in Boling, the Cui family in Qinghe, the Lu family in Fanyang, the Li family in Longxi, the Li family in Zhaojun, and the Wang family in Taiyuan are all present.

When Wang Renyou saw Li Wangyou, Cheng Yaojin and others in front of Xingguo Temple, he was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed and said, "I am planning to come to Xingguo Temple to worship Buddha today, but I didn't expect to meet Cui Gong and Lu Gong on the way. , Li Gong and others, let alone that they could meet Zheng Gong, Lu Guogong and Huxian Bo in Xingguo Temple, this is really a coincidence."

Zheng Yuanshou's face became more and more ugly. He originally thought that Cheng Yaojin and Li Wangyou only knew about this matter, and that a big cake would be divided into three parts.Unexpectedly, Wang Renyou and others also came, so how to divide the cake?

As for what Wang Renyou said was coming to Xingguo Temple to worship Buddha, Zheng Yuanshou didn't believe it at all.

Although the five surnames and seven hopes are connected with each other, but facing the temptation of gold, how can they not let everyone have their own little calculations in their hearts.

Cui Xin, head of the Qinghe Cui Clan, also smiled with his beard: "The Xingguo Temple is quite busy today, and I never thought that I would meet all of you."

Everyone was saying polite things with different opinions, but Cheng Yaojin snorted coldly: "Don't say any more nonsense about coming here to worship the Buddha, I will tell you clearly, since you are all here for the gold mine today Yes, let’s come in and discuss together. But let’s put my words here first, it should be my share, and no one can give it to me!”

What Cheng Yaojin said was very rude, but Wang Renyou, Cui Xin and the others pretended they didn't hear them, they talked and laughed with each other and went to the temple.

Zheng Yuanshou and Zheng Shanguo looked at each other, both felt that something was wrong, such a secret matter, their Zheng family in Xingyang discovered the gold mine by accident, but why did it create such a commotion that almost everyone in the city knew about it?

"My lord, how did you know that there is a gold mine in Xingguo Temple?" Zheng Yuanshou thought for a while, and asked Wang Renyou in a low voice.

Wang Renyou looked at him with deep eyes: "How did Mr. Zheng know?"

Now that Zheng Yuanshou did not hide anything from him, he told the truth, it was a disciple of the monk of Xingguo Temple who went to the Zheng family's gold and silverware shop to sell dog head gold, so the shopkeeper noticed something strange, so he traced it and found out the existence of gold mines.

After Wang Renyou heard this, he also twisted his beard and smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Zheng, that monk also went to my Wang family's gold and silverware shop to sell gold. Although it is not dog's head gold, it is a bag of gold powder. Of course, my Wang family's shopkeeper is not either. Vegetarians can recognize at a glance that this is the gold powder collected from the gold mine. As long as it is smelted, it is high-quality gold. Naturally, the old man ordered someone to investigate, so he noticed the existence of Xingguo Temple. After arriving at Cui Gong and the others, the old man naturally asked them why, and it was probably the same. It is ridiculous that the monk used such a method, but he did not expect that most of the gold and silver shops in Chang'an City are owned by my family. "

Wang Renyou's words made Zheng Yuanshou somewhat understand.

In order to deceive others, the monk and apprentice of Xingguo Temple deliberately changed several gold and silverware shops to sell dog head gold, gold powder and other things, but they did not expect that behind these gold and silverware shops were all aristocratic families.

The gold they sold looked like prey falling into the sea. The bloody smell attracted the sharks from the family to flock to them, wanting to swallow this piece of fat in one gulp.

But Zheng Yuanshou immediately frowned again: "No, Duke Lu and that kid surnamed Li don't have a gold and silverware shop in their family. How did they know about this?"

Wang Renyou couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, and after thinking about it for a while, he replied: "You can know this matter as soon as you ask about it. Is Mr. Zheng still worried about fraud?"

"Hehe, it's better to be careful." Zheng Yuanshou already had some doubts in his heart at this time, this gold mine seemed to be very problematic.

Wang Renyou nodded, and he didn't expect it. He thought that he could eat alone, but he didn't expect that everyone knew it. It really made Wang Renyou feel depressed.But if the gold mine really exists, the Wang family of Taiyuan will eat a bite of meat in it no matter what.

Regarding Zheng Yuanshou and Wang Renyou's question, Cheng Yaojin laughed out loud, pointed at Li Wangyou and said, "I didn't notice it, this kid noticed it."

Li Wangyou smiled and cupped his hands towards Zheng Yuanshou and the others: "My lords, the monk from Xingguo Temple and his disciples have found several times from the Shunfeng carriage company to transport copper coins in horse-drawn carriages in the past few days, and they all came from various places in Chang'an City. It would be strange if I couldn’t guess that there was something wrong with the copper coins being moved out of the gold and silverware shop. I’ll ask Uncle Cheng to find someone to find out about this matter, so it’s clear.”

Hearing Li Wangyou's explanation, Zheng Yuanshou and the others suddenly realized, and at the same time secretly scolded the monk as an idiot in their hearts.

When selling gold, you know how to go to various gold and silverware shops to sell it, why don't you know how to change this carriage?

Of course, Zheng Yuanshou and the others also knew that in the city of Chang'an in Nuoda, apart from the four-wheeled carriages of Shunfeng Carriage Shop, there was no other shop.

Everyone was thinking in their hearts, and they all knew that it was impossible to monopolize the gold mine. Now it was up to them to find a way to distribute the benefits.

As for the authenticity of the gold mine, these old foxes naturally doubted it in their hearts, fearing that something was wrong.Could it be that the monk was so bold that he used a trick to deceive them, trying to defraud them of a large sum of money?

In the Daxiong Hall of Xingguo Temple, several tributaries of Duke Lu's mansion are already guarding a monk here, and there is a man beside him, who is obviously Lin Yang, the disciple of the righteous monk.

As soon as he saw Cheng Yaojin going and returning, with a large group of people behind him, the monk performed a one-handed Buddha salute with a sad face: "Amitabha, the poor monk has seen Lu Guogong, Hu Xianbo, and all the nobles. Lu Guogong, the poor monk has already said that there is a gold mine in the mountain behind the temple, and the poor monk will not hide this from you now. But the poor monk does not sell the gold mine, so please forgive me. "

Cheng Yaojin was furious immediately: "Straight mother thief, you are so bold! I am willing to buy your gold mine with real money, why not sell it? But do you think the knife in my hand is not fast enough?"

The monk recited the Buddha's name silently, and his expression returned to calm: "Amitabha, there is a saying in the Buddhist family: If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? If killing the poor monk can dispel the anger in Lu Guogong's heart, then the poor monk will give up this poor monk." It's okay to wear a stinky skin, but this gold mine must never be sold to Lu Guogong."

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin was even more furious, and pulled out the sword from his waist with a "choke", and glared at the monk with his eyes like a vajra: "You bald donkey, you speak so loudly, I will kill you today So what? After killing you bald donkey, this temple is the ownerless thing, are you still afraid that I won’t be able to get the gold mine?”

"Amitabha, Duke Lu is wrong." The monk lowered his head: "The gold mine was discovered in Xingguo Temple, but the poor monk has already written a letter and informed the Daci'en Temple, Ximing Temple, Xingshan Temple, Xiangji Temple, The abbot of Jianfu Temple learned that the poor monk had already stated to these abbots that if the poor monk died, the temple property of Xingguo Temple would be jointly owned by these big temples. If Lu Guogong would definitely be able to snatch gold from these big temples in Quanchang'an mine, then kill the poor monk."

Everyone in the Daxiong Palace was dumbfounded when the righteous monk said this...
