    Gold is of great value and is more valuable than silver. The exchange ratio is usually one to ten, and sometimes it can even reach one to fifteen.  Both gold and silver are used as hard currencies in trade exchanges and rarely depreciate. Gold is even more so. It is the thing with the highest value retention rate in everyone's mind. There is nothing more real than gold.

    A gold mine, as its name suggests, is an existence that can produce gold, which is of great significance.  Throughout the past dynasties, gold mines were all attached great importance to, and gold mines were stipulated to be privately owned by the state. From mining to production, they were all controlled by the government, which was more stringent than controlling the output and sales of salt.  Anyone who conceals the truth and secretly mines gold will be punished with death once discovered. The main conspirators of the Yi tribe will be executed, while those who assist in the mining will be executed.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????? Despite such harsh laws, it still cannot stop the ambition of adventurers to open gold mines privately.  Without him, the benefits would be too great.  The value brought by owning a gold mine is unimaginable. Even the rich emperor could not but be moved by a rich gold mine.

    The gold and silver mines and even salt mines in the entire Wei Dynasty are listed in the top-secret account books of the Ministry of Household Affairs.  The territory, location, attributes and annual mining volume of each mine must be detailed in these books, and the destination must also be stated. At the end of the year, it will be submitted to the emperor for review. If there are any mistakes, the Ministry of Household Affairs will be held accountable.  .

    It was under such circumstances that an unreported gold mine in Yongzhou, Jiangnan, was secretly mined for nearly three years.  Li Ci was shocked when she learned about this from Cheng Zhi, and she had a guess almost instantly.  After finally suppressing the surge of her heart, she secretly ordered Cheng Zhi to investigate in private, and Shi Yang assisted and protected her, pretending to be investigating the case. In fact, they had been exploring the location of the gold mine in the mountains and forests.

    The man Cheng Zhi rescued on the edge of the official road escaped from the gold mine.  According to what this person said, he was originally a farmer in the village. He was sentenced to exile because he accidentally injured someone to death during a dispute.  Unexpectedly, the officer responsible for escorting him took him out of the city gate and went straight into the mountains and forests. After wandering around, he came to the gold mine and forced him to become a mine worker.

    The days of being a miner can be described as darkness. The miners here are all death row prisoners or prisoners sentenced to exile sent from all over the Yangtze River. They should have been sent to the guillotine or exiled to other places, but now they have all been secretly escorted to  here.  The work of mining is extremely arduous and dangerous. You can only eat two meals a day, and there is almost no meat.  The miners were all starved to death. If they were not careful, they would be severely beaten with whips by the people who guarded them.

    ¡°There were many people who died of starvation, disease, or being beaten to death. When those who were in charge saw some miners becoming seriously ill, they immediately carried them out. It is said that they were sold alive.  Later, those people were never seen again.

    The man said he didn¡¯t know how long he had been sent there.  One time, he had a fever, and in a daze, a caretaker came and said some words. They probably thought he would not survive, so they took him out and buried him.  Those people did not expect that he did not die, but struggled to crawl out of the soil, and later managed to escape all the way to the edge of the official road, where he was lucky enough to meet Cheng Zhi.

    Cheng Zhi has been working in Tixing Yamen for a certain period of time, and he has considerable talent and experience in prison matters.  When he was flipping through past files in the Tixing Yamen, he was keenly aware of something strange.  He found that many old cases seemed to have deliberately obscured some evidence and testimony, resulting in cases that were often re-judged.  At first he thought it was a minority, but later found out that was not the case.

    With such an unusual phenomenon occurring, there must be something shady behind it.  No matter what the shady reasons were, Cheng Zhi could not turn a blind eye.  He also knew in his heart that there would never be more than one slap in the face in Jiangnan who had the ability to conceal this matter.

    This matter can only be investigated secretly and cannot be made public, not even a little bit of news can be leaked.

    Fortunately, Cheng Zhi is usually an outlier in the eyes of his colleagues. No matter how strange he does, others will not pay much attention to him.  From this, he could continue to pursue it secretly, waiting for the right time.

    The further you get to the bottom of the investigation, the more fishy things you find.

    Cheng Zhi discovered that most of the prisoners who were sentenced to death or exile were missing, but the files clearly stated "the sentence was completed."  He secretly visited the hometowns of some prisoners and inquired about their whereabouts. He discovered that the families of the condemned prisoners could not even take back their bones. Those who were sentenced to exile were never seen again from the day they were exiled.  information.

    At that time, Cheng Zhi had a vague guess that the prisoners were secretly transferred.

    Cheng Zhi was a lowly official, and he could not find out where the prisoners had been transferred until he accidentally picked up an unconscious person on the roadside on his way back from investigating the case.

    ????The joy of seeing the sun again.  For these miners, they would rather die quickly than suffer torture in this dark hell.

    It was night, Li Ci was lying on the bed tossing and turning. She was thinking about the gold mine and couldn't sleep, so she spread out pancakes on the bed.  Although she had tried her best to move as gently as possible, the person next to her was such a sensitive person that he opened his eyes to look at her.

    Li Ci apologized: "Sorry, I disturbed you, Ah Rong."

    "Are you still thinking about the gold mine?" Zhao Rongqing saw her uneasy look and took her arm to bring them closer.  Li Ci buried his head in her arms, wrapped one hand around Zhao Rongqing's soft and slender waist, and said in a muffled voice, "Shi Yang said that he was 100% sure of winning the gold mine, but I always say it before things are decided.  You can¡¯t rest assured.¡±
