After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day

Leng Chi looked at the symbol on the map and it looked like some kind of mark.

He also felt familiar.

Seems like I've seen it somewhere.

Leng Chi frowned and thought about it, but couldn't remember.

He Qingchen's reaction, however, seemed as if he knew.

He simply asked directly.

I don't know.

He Qingchen slowly picked up the paper, examined it carefully, and then looked at the content on the map.

In the end, he said nothing.

He just picked up the gold in the box next to him and handed it to Leng Chi: "Weigh it, is the weight of this gold not right?"

Leng Chi had actually guessed this series of events.

He didn't take it.

He just took out a gold coin from his purse and put it in He Qingchen's hand.

He Qingchen's hands trembled.

His eyes were fixed on the two pieces of gold.

If you look at it alone, the gold in the box is very real, so real that you can hardly tell the difference, but if you look closely and compare them, you can see the difference.

The gold in the box was smaller and lighter in color.

The most important thing is the words underneath the gold. The year the gold was produced is the same, and the words are the same. The only difference is that, perhaps for the purpose of identification, the counterfeiter made some subtle changes to the words.

There is a wrong stroke in that word.

The stroke that was supposed to go from left to right turned out to be from right to left. Someone who is not careful will probably not notice this small mistake.

Leng Chi had no idea of ​​the turmoil in He Qingchen's heart.

He did manage to figure out something from the words on the map and the pattern of the fake gold.

There are many minerals in Beizhao.

Among them, coal mines are the most, followed by iron ore, and the rest are gold, silver, jade and other minerals.

Here, coal mines and jade mines can be bought and mined by merchants, while iron mines and gold and silver mines are taken over by the Northern Zhao court.

Years ago, they went to Gongzhou to suppress bandits.

At that time, everyone only knew that Gongzhou was plagued by banditry, but they all overlooked that in a place with rich mining resources, the people's lives, although not rich, should at least have enough food and drink.

How could a place like this be plagued by banditry?

Why would the people abandon their fields, abandon their homes and children, and become bandits?

The bandit problem in Gongzhou is unusual.

This was when He Qingchen was suppressing bandits, and he had already secretly investigated this.

But, I never noticed any problem.

Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, I found some clues from Wang Huan.

Although Gongzhou is rich in minerals, most of them are coal mines of little use. As long as merchants spend money to buy the mines from the county, they can hire people to mine on their own, but...are these gold?

Turn coal into gold?

Having doubts in his mind, Leng Chi just spoke them out.

He Qingchen suddenly came back to his senses.

He reached out and took the dagger from Leng Chi's hand, concentrated his inner strength on the gold, and exerted force suddenly, splitting the fake gold into two.

Inside the gold was a light grey object that was solidified by something.

He Qingchen and Leng Chi reached out their hands at the same time, picked up a bit of light gray, put it under their noses and smelled it.

Just as Leng Chi expected.

The light grey thing had a faint smell of coal.

The smell of coal was neutralized by something else. If it was not broken, one could hardly smell it if one sniffed carefully. As for what the thing that neutralized it was, He Qingchen and Leng Chi had no idea for the time being.

As for what is written on the map, it is the address of the small workshop that produces this "gold".

At first glance.

Almost the entire Gongzhou is filled with such workshops of all sizes.

There were even a few workshops located in Yanzhou, which was separated from Gongzhou by a river.

He Qingchen clenched his fists.

His whole body was filled with murderous rage and hatred.

Leng Chi wisely took a small step back and dared not say a word.

There's something wrong with his prince.

The prince... must know who drew the map.

Who is it?

half an hour.

He Qingchen calmed down the brutality in his bones, and looked at Leng Chi with cold and bloodthirsty eyes: "Leng Chi, you must find a way to explore every place up here, and you must act quickly. I want to know how much else they... have done?"

Leng Chi's heart sank.

I immediately understood what He Qingchen meant.

Wang Huan is dead.

Even though the news had been blocked, the Prince of Yan's Mansion had been like a sieve, and the news about Wang Huan could not be kept secret for long.

They currently don’t know what kind of connection Wang Huan has with Gongzhou and what kind of connection the person behind the scenes has with him.

What they feared most was that they had detected something unusual in Wang Huan’s death.

At that time, any of their actions will be restricted.

Leng Chi did not dare to hesitate, and immediately put away the other map he had just drawn and was about to leave.

"Leng Chi." He Qingchen looked at his back and called him softly.

Leng Chi paused slightly.

“Bring more people with you and activate the secret code I agreed with you before. If you find any information in Gongzhou, you don’t need to organize it. Send it all back. I…” He Qingchen paused, then said, “If there is any danger, retreat to the north immediately. You must not…”

Leng Chi was stunned for a moment, his expression becoming more serious.

He could roughly guess what He Qingchen would say next. Perhaps, he was telling them not to be exposed?

But heading north?

"Yes, go north. If it's dangerous, don't worry about Gongzhou anymore, just retreat north to Qiushan County, Fengzhou. Don't go into the city. I will arrange people to wait for you there."

He Qingchen finally uttered this sentence softly.

Leng Chi looked at He Qingchen quietly, then turned around and left quickly.

He Qingchen's last words were undoubtedly telling him.

The trip to Gongzhou will be much more dangerous than the one to suppress bandits, otherwise, his prince would never have made such an arrangement.

Toyosu...

That is the Gu family’s territory.

The Gu family made their fortune in Fengzhou.

His prince has always been cold towards the Gu family, far from being able to protect them under the cover of the Gu family.

What's more, the place the prince told them to go was not the county town where Gu's ancestral home was located.

But it is a very remote Akiyama County.

They were even told not to go into the city.

What he meant was that his prince was planning to lead people to Fengzhou, but didn't want the Gu family to know their whereabouts?

Why is this?

Leng Chi left quickly, thinking as he walked, and almost bumped into Shen Xiao who was coming towards him.

Shen Xiao was about to speak with great interest.

Unexpectedly, Leng Chi did not even look to the side, walked around Shen Xiao, took light steps, flew out of the yard, and went to where the secret guards of the palace lived.

Shen Xiao, who was ignored: "..."

After Leng Chi left, He Qingchen also came out.

He was still holding the two boxes in his hands.

Shen Xiao pursed his lips and took a few quick steps forward: "My Lord, Lord Leng..."

He Qingchen glanced over with cold eyes.

Shen Xiao suddenly fell silent.

He Qingchen ignored him and turned to walk out. When he walked out of the yard, he barely said, "Enclose this yard. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order."
