Volume 4: Following the Dragon and Slaying the Dragon Chapter 44 Taking Over
After sending all the slave laborers away, Wang Liang had people start collecting things from the mine.
Wang Liang knew that he couldn't stay here for too long. Although he suppressed the bell, the Xiao family would know at any time if something happened here, so Wang Liang did not take over the entire mine, but took away .
By the way, the small gold mine discovered here is not very big, but the supervisors here did not report it. Over time, there is quite a lot of stock.
Wang Liang directly found more than a thousand taels of gold here.
As a player, Wang Liang didn't see much use for the gold, but in this context, the gold was very useful.
If more than a thousand taels of gold were exchanged for food, it could provide a year's food and fodder for a troop of 3,000 people. If used to purchase weapons and equipment, it could equip an elite troop of 1,000 people.
It can be said that this is the resources for conquering the world.
Wang Liang suspected that if he had not come here, the gold would have fallen into Song Xiu's hands and become the capital for him to equip his troops.
But now this thing belongs to Wang.
He asked people to load the gold onto the backs of yellow sheep first, and Wang Liang also took all the iron ore stored here.
Compared to gold, there is not much iron ore here. The Xiao family comes here twice a month. On the one hand, they deliver food to the valley, and on the other hand, they transport the iron ore out.
So the inventory here was only enough for about one week. Wang Liang loaded the goods on the backs of thirty yellow sheep and transported them all away.
However, Wang Liang gained a lot from various ores associated with iron ore. Those things were not iron ore, but they looked pretty good. Some of them were valuable, so the supervisors would keep them and hide them for themselves.
Now all these things belong to Wang Liang.
After installing everything here, Wang Liang turned around and said to the people around him: "You can spread this news. This iron mine can be mined for another three years. It's such a good place, how can you not help me take the blame."
After Wang Liang finished speaking, a crow flew out from his side. He was the messenger that Wang Liang brought specially.
After all, in order to fight this battle, Wang Liang always has to be fully prepared.
When he came here, he already knew that he couldn't occupy this place forever, so he found a buyer for the mine before leaving.
Now he has taken away all the floating wealth from the mine, and this place is left to the buyer.
While Wang Liang was dealing with mining matters, a loud bang was heard from the Xiao family's ancestral home in Siming County.
Xiao Qingsong and his family usually live in the backyard of Siming County Government Office. However, they have a Xiao residence in Siming County, and their ancestral home is not in Siming County, but located somewhere on the outskirts of Siming County.
This place is blocked by a village on all four sides, and these four villages are all residences of the Xiao family's children and servants.
It can be said that no matter where you enter the ancestral home area, you will be discovered by the Xiao family.
The Xiao family's ancestral home was built here only sixty years ago. In addition to the ancestral hall and the ancestral tombs on the back mountain, there are also the Xiao family's family school, warehouse and other places that are related to the Xiao family's lifeline.
Normally, Xiao Qingsong and his men do not live here, but this place is heavily guarded.
Today, a loud bang was heard from the small house behind the ancestral temple, instantly alarming everyone in the Xiao family's ancestral home.
Xiao Qingbai, who was in charge of guarding the ancestral home, rushed into the ancestral temple.
Xiao Qingbai is Xiao Qingsong's younger brother. When Xiao Qingsong is not around, he has the final say here.
When he entered the ancestral temple, he saw that all the spirit tablets on the platform had fallen over.
This situation made his face change, and then he thought of something and walked around the spirit tablet and went to the back of the ancestral temple.
Entering the room behind the ancestral temple, Xiao Qingbai's face became even uglier. He hurried outside and shouted loudly: "Zhengfang, go to the county immediately and call your uncle and others over. Something big has happened."
After that, Xiao Qingbai stood at the door of the back room, guarding there, not daring to let anyone in or out.
About an hour later, Xiao Qingsong arrived here with his two sons.
As soon as he entered the ancestral house, Xiao Qingsong asked, "Second Brother, what happened?"
"The fortune has changed, and the ancestral tablets have fallen."
While explaining the situation, Xiao Qingbai took Xiao Qingsong into the small house behind the ancestral temple.
This small house is not very big, only about ten square meters. There are no windows in the room except for a door. An oil lamp is hung in the middle of the room, which is the only light source in the entire room.
With this little light, you can see a square eight-immortal table in the middle of the room, with a glazed carp statue on the table.
This carp is made very beautifully, with a translucent glazed color all over. The pattern chosen is the moment when the carp jumps out of the water, and there are a few splashes of water around the carp as support and decoration.
As soon as Xiao Qingsong entered the room, his eyes fell on the carp statue.
Looking at the carp statue lying on the table, Xiao Qingsong couldn't help but exclaim, "How could this happen?"
"I don't know either. I just heard a loud bang, and when I rushed over, this place looked like this."
Xiao Qingsong took a deep breath, turned around and said, "Zhengtan, come and touch this carp statue with me. No one else is allowed to get close."
When Xiao Qingbai heard this, he stood a little further away. He knew that this was a vessel of family luck and fortune, and only the clan leader and the inheritor could move it. If anyone else moved it, the luck on it would be divided away.
If it were still okay at normal times, but now that their family is about to give birth to a dragon and do something big, it would be better for the luck to be concentrated together.
Xiao Qingsong and Xiao Zhengtan stepped forward and touched the carp statue. Xiao Qingsong pressed it and counted some information on it.
"All sixty golden scales are still there, fifty-seven of which are shining . This is my Xiao family's fifty-seven years of good fortune. There is no problem with that. One dorsal fin is my Xiao family's regular army. It is still there.
There are four ventral fins. These are the four troops of the Xiao family, three bright and one dark. There is no problem with this.
There are two tail fins. These are the two caravans of the Xiao family. They have solid luck, so there is no problem with that.
There are three lotus leaves, one bright and two dark. These are the three counties controlled by the Xiao family. There is no problem with them.
Five water splashes, this is the pioneer for the Xiao family, and it is also the basis for the fish to leap over the dragon gate. Wait, one of the water splashes is broken. The water splash is white, and the five elements belong to gold. This is gold, and there is a problem in the mine. "
After taking inventory here, Xiao Qingsong immediately understood what went wrong.
This carp statue represents the source and destination of the Xiao family's fortune. Any problem can be immediately reflected on the carp statue.
"Second brother, notify the third brother immediately and ask him to arrange for someone to go to the mine to take a look. There is an accident at the mine."
" What happened ?"
"I don't know, but it's very likely that the miner we kept ran away early. This won't do. They shouldn't have exploded at this time. They should ..."
