Chapter 357: Traitor!
Yue Shan was naturally very efficient, and the news spread throughout Qingzhou City the next day.
In the early morning, many villagers did not dare to disobey the general's order. Chen Changan introduced to them what golden-tailed carp is, and then took the initiative to lead the soldiers to jump into the Blue Moon Lake.
The soldiers were naturally working hard because they had orders to do so, but the villagers were forcibly conscripted and did not put in any effort.
Just as the sun was setting on the first day, Yue Shan emerged from the lake and shouted excitedly.
"Silver, it's silver, there is silver in the lake!"
His shout attracted a lot of people's attention, and they looked at the silver ingot in Yue Shan's hand.
"Oh my god, it's really silver, look!"
Yue Shan's voice naturally attracted the curiosity of countless people, and they rushed to look at what was in Yue Shan's hand.
This ingot of silver has a regular shape, and one ingot of silver weighs ten taels.
These days, three taels of silver are enough for a family to live on for a whole year, let alone seven or eight taels?
"It's really silver, what's going on?"
"Could it be that someone dropped it here and General Yue picked it up by chance?"
"Ah, there is still money, really there is still money!"
While many people were discussing, a soldier emerged from the water with silver in his hand!
Yue Shan was very happy this time and laughed: "How much money do we get as soldiers?"
"Brothers, let's fight for the silver!"
"Light up the night and fight for me!"
The soldiers all nodded and laughed, and did not even go to eat. They continued to dive into the lake and dig deeper under the cover of night!
This time the people can no longer sit still!
The opportunities are equal for them all. If those people can dig out silver, why can't I do it?
Not just me, get my whole family over to dig in!
It didn't take long before the entire Blue Moon Lake was filled with people, and the mountains and plains were filled with people!
Who doesn’t want to get rich overnight?
Seeing the people working enthusiastically, Yan Qing was speechless: "Chen Changan, I didn't expect you to mobilize all the people with just such a small plan."
Chen Changan just laughed and said nothing.
After living his life over again, he actually has a particularly good understanding of human nature.
"But I don't understand, what is your purpose in doing this?" Yan Qing asked curiously.
"There is no purpose."
Chen Changan shook his head and smiled: "Swimming is always a good exercise. It can eliminate viruses from the body and is for the health of the people."
"Also, I suspect that the silver is under the Blue Moon Lake. Ask them to help me look for it."
Yan Qing was shocked and asked in astonishment: "Are you sure?"
"if not?"
Chen Changan just laughed: "Just wait and see, there will be results in three days."
Chen Changan stretched lazily and turned around and said, "Li Huaiyu, tell Brother Yue to search carefully. My hope lies in him."
Chen Changan patted Li Huaiyu on the shoulder and then walked back to the military camp.
Li Huaiyu shook his head and chuckled, and could only go down to convey the order.
Chen Changan's way of doing things is quite good. Every day someone brings in money. Roughly speaking, it's about a thousand taels of silver every day.
But they had already searched all the shallower areas, and there were still some deep areas that no one had entered.
Chen Changan sat on the boat, looking at the eyes of the people who wanted to go but didn't dare to go, and shook his head and smiled: "Picking up money, how can it be that easy?"
"If you want to get rich, you have to be hard on yourself."
"It's getting late today. Tomorrow I'll call a boat over, tie you up with ropes, and investigate thoroughly."
Everyone held their breath and clenched their fists tightly.
Since the prince consort has said so, it doesn't matter. I will go down and take a look tomorrow even if it costs my life.
Find wealth in danger!
At around two o'clock in the morning, Li Huaiyu got up and inspected the military camp.
After soaking in the water for several days in a row, all the soldiers were exhausted. Even the sergeant guarding the gate was dozing off while standing there.
Li Huaiyu asked the soldiers guarding the gate to go back and have a good sleep, and he stood guard for them.
The entire tent was filled with the sound of thunderous snoring. Li Huaiyu looked back at the military camp, feeling somewhat hesitant. Finally, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the nearby forest.
I don't know how long I walked before I arrived at a mass grave.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the occasional cry of a night owl, like a death note from hell, breaking the eerie silence.
The cold moon hung high in the sky, and the pale moonlight sprinkled on the undulating tombs, as if covering them with a layer of hazy silver gauze.
The overgrown weeds rustled in the night wind, like countless pairs of dry hands caressing the ground.
Occasionally, a few green lights flickered in the grass. Those were the eyes of wild wolves or wild dogs. They were foraging in this land of death, with greed and alertness flashing in their eyes.
"Li Sang, so many days have passed, and you haven't given Chen Changan the drug yet?"
In front of a low tombstone, a man dressed in a black robe appeared, speaking stiff Chu language.
"I'm telling you, our patience as Sakurajima people has its limits!"
"If you can't transport this batch of silver back, all your family members will die!"
Li Huaiyu's face was gloomy, and he seemed very embarrassed: "It's not that I can't do it, but... Chen Changan has been very kind to me!"
"It's wrong for me to contact you without telling him. How can I kill him?"
The man in black robe kept talking nonsense to Li Huaiyu: "What do you mean? Can you see your mother, wife, and children die tragically?"
"No!" Li Huaiyu sighed, "Chen Changan has always believed that you hid the silver in the water. He has been looking for the silver in the water these days without sleep."
"I mean if your silver is hidden secretly, he will never find it."
"You can definitely take action. As long as there is chaos in the palace, all places will speak out in response, and the country of Da Chu will change hands!"
"Chen Changan is connected to Prince Jing'an, why do we need to kill him?"
"idiot!"
The black-robed man was furious and said sternly, "My Prince Sakurajima was beaten by him in your Da Chu. Do you know about this?"
"When the news got back to our country, everyone was laughing at Muto Ilan. How could we not take revenge for this kind of pain?"
"Prince Muto has sent me a message. If you don't act immediately within three days, everything you have will be lost. Think about it yourself!"
Li Huaiyu was trembling all over, he wished he could kill this shameless Sakurajima man.
But at this moment, a woman's voice came from the side: "Husband, I'm fine."
"Fortunately, you did not betray the Prince Consort. Otherwise, even if you saved me, our whole family would suffer."
Hearing this voice suddenly, Li Huaiyu turned around immediately.
In the night stood a beautiful woman with tear marks on her face, it was his wife.
Behind the lady stood the dusty old horse, and...
Chen Changan!
Oh my god, what is going on?
