Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 403 The Disappearing Carriage

God!

It’s actually true!

The intelligence obtained showed that not long after the illegal mine was discovered, an accident occurred at the mine before any news was reported.

Naturally, this illegal mine was not reported and the news was kept hidden.

More than one hundred people working in the mine at the time were all buried and their bodies were not found.

The name of Zheng Shigao’s elder brother Zheng Shiyong is on the list.

But after Zheng Shigao went to the Zhang family to propose marriage, Gu Qingzhi suddenly raised an idea and asked whether Zheng Shiyong was not dead?

Afterwards, Gu Yan arranged for people to investigate. After all, based on previous experience, he believed that his sister would not do something without a purpose.

They investigated for a long time and finally found clues that Zheng Shiyong was still alive. As a result, they found the black mine by following this direction.

According to the county annals, one day five years ago, heavy rains hit the sky and a mudslide suddenly broke out on the mountain, directly burying the entire mine that was being worked on.

Records showed that the mine had been in operation for more than twenty years and no accidents had ever occurred.

Therefore, everyone thought it was a natural phenomenon. It was a pity that more than one hundred people working in the mine at that time were buried and no one survived.

"Master, after our people sneaked into the black mine, they searched according to the list of victims and found that all these people were working in the black mine, and the guards there were very strict."

Gu Yan's eyes were gloomy. "Then where is the gold they mined?"

That's right!

Intelligence shows that this black mine is actually a large gold mine with a high output!

Several silver mines have been discovered in the south of the Yangtze River, but gold mines are very rare. I didn’t expect there to be one in this remote place. Perhaps this is the reason why there is no grass on the mountain?

"My lord, we haven't found out yet." Tianshu lowered his head in shame.

Gu Yan pondered for a while and continued, "Make arrangements and check their shipping time and route in detail. They must ship out the mined gold. Check where they shipped it to."

Gu Yan is used to keeping all information in his own hands.

"Yes!"

That night, Gu Yan came to Gu Qingzhi's room and said, "Qingqing, change your clothes. I will take you to see a place."

"Uh..." Gu Qingzhi has been very busy since she arrived in Jianyang. She is either attending classes or making pills. Now her brother suddenly says he wants to take her out to play. It's a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

It's still quite chilly at night in May. "My dear, remember to put on a cape."

"I know, brother."

The carriage drove for a while before stopping. Gu Qingzhi could only conclude that it had left the city.

"Brother, are you bringing me here just to play? What's fun to do in this wilderness?" Gu Qingzhi looked at the darkness outside the carriage.

Gu Yan chuckled and repeated the purpose of this trip.

Gu Qingzhi listened, thought for a moment, and then asked incredulously,

"Brother, are you saying that the carriages they used to transport things disappeared after they arrived here? There's not even a trace of them?"

"Yeah, that's what the person who was following us said." Gu Yan responded in a low voice.

This incident really aroused his interest and he wanted to see what secrets were here.

In addition, he thought that with his sister's good luck, he might be able to find something, so he brought his sister here at night.

And the timing tonight is very clever. If we miss it after tonight, I'm afraid we'll miss it.

Gu Qingzhi pursed her lips and thought for a moment: "Then brother, let's go down and take a look."

You really have to see it to know what it is like.

"Okay." Gu Yan helped Gu Qingzhi tie her cloak, then took her hand and helped her down from the carriage.

After Gu Qingzhi got off the car, she found that Tianshu and the others were holding torches, lighting up the area. The dark place just now was now as bright as day.

"Qingqing, this is it." Gu Yan pointed to a bush and explained to Gu Qingzhi,

"This area is relatively flat and there are no shelters around, so the people following the trail couldn't get too close. It was only after waiting for a long time that they realized something was wrong."

Gu Qingzhi frowned slightly, her heart full of doubts.

She looked around carefully but didn't see anything unusual.

Just then, Gu Yan walked over. He looked around and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Brother, how many times has this happened?" Gu Qingzhi asked.

"It's happened twice already. Every ten days they send things here, a full ten carriages of stuff!" Gu Yan replied.

Gu Qingzhi asked, "When was the last time?"

Gu Yan explained,

"They reported it last night and this morning. This is the second time such abnormality has occurred in a row, so I thought of bringing you to see it."

After hearing this, Gu Qingzhi fell into deep thought. So many carriages disappeared at the same time, but there was no trace around. This made her very confused.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind: "Could it be..."

"Brother, have you also thought of that possibility?"

Gu Yan looked at her, with the same guess in his eyes, "Well, Qingqing, I do have such an idea."

Gu Qingzhi suggested hesitantly, "Then, brother, should we try to look for it?"

However, despite saying this, Gu Qingzhi was still a little hesitant, worried that doing so would alert the enemy.

Gu Yan agreed without hesitation, "Okay!"

After Gu Yan firmly stated that nothing would happen, the two decided to start looking for clues.

Everyone searched around according to Gu Yan's instructions, while Gu Yan pulled Gu Qingzhi towards the bushes.

Tianshu and Tianquan held torches nearby, lighting up the surroundings of the bushes.

The brother and sister walked around the neighborhood again and again, hoping to find some clues.

"Brother, I think there's something wrong with this bush." ​​Gu Qingzhi suddenly said.

Gu Yan looked at her with great interest and asked curiously, "Qingqing, what did you find? Tell me about it."

Gu Qingzhi quickly told Gu Yan what she had discovered: "Brother, look at the soil under the bushes. Isn't it very soft? And the soil is relatively new. It looks like it has just been turned over."

Gu Yan took a step forward and bent down to take a look, and it was just as his sister said.

He took the shovel handed to him by Tianquan and easily shoveled the soil under the bushes.

After shoveling about a foot, Gu Yan felt that something was wrong with the ground.

The soil in this area is completely loose, and it feels like someone has often turned over the soil.

At this moment, he became more and more certain that there must be something underneath.

Suddenly, the shovel hit something hard.

He quickened his pace and a large rock emerged from under his shovel.

Gu Qingzhi had been standing nearby and observing. At this moment, she saw a stone suddenly appear in the mud. She instinctively felt that there must be something wrong with the stone.
