Chapter 202
"Brother Xu, what did you see?"

Zhang Qishan glanced at the wishing person beside him, seeing the thoughtful look in his eyes, his heart couldn't help but he asked seriously.

As soon as he said this.

Not only Wu Laogou and Qi Tiezui, but even Adjutant Zhang who was standing in the distance cast their gazes.

"There is a smell on this dragon armor."

Wishing without hesitation, he said it directly. After all, the purpose of his trip was for meteorites, so this mine must be visited.

Old Dog Wu smiled teasingly, "It has a smell, I smell it too, it smells like death, I said make a wish, what exactly do you want to say?"

"There's an unmistakable smell of lead and mercury on this nail piece."

"Lead and mercury?"

Zhang Qishan's eyebrows jumped suddenly.

He took the piece of keel from the wishing hand, ignoring that it was still stained with black blood, and sniffed it under his nose.

Sure enough, amidst the stench, he smelled a familiar smell.

"It really is."

Zhang Qishan frowned again, as if there was an invisible hand in his mind, quickly sorting out the messy myriad of threads.

"lead"

"This thing is rare, basically only produced in mines."

"mine?"

Zhang Qishan muttered a few words to himself, suddenly a flash of light flashed in his heart, and he grasped the problem at once.

"adjutant!"

"Go get a map and find out if there are any lead and mercury mines near Changsha City?"

Zhang Rishan didn't dare to delay, and immediately went back to get a geological map.

It was only after looking for a long time that I discovered that there was no lead-mercury mine near Changsha City, and the nearest one was far away in Wuhan City.

"It is absolutely impossible to leave the country, the train can't run that far."

Zhang Qishan was about to go crazy, he had already seen the clue, but now he couldn't grasp the last key.

"Buddha, as far as I know, lead and mercury are mostly associated mines, and mines such as snake eye are also prone to lead and mercury."

Make a wish and remind me again.

At the moment, if Zhang Qishan still doesn't understand, then he has no choice but to mark the location of the mine directly, that would be too obvious.

"Not bad!"

Zhang Qishan's eyes were bright, he took a pen, quickly drew a few circles on the map, and finally threw the pen away.

I already have a general idea in mind.

There are many mines around Changsha City.

Especially the area near Miaojiang, which was occupied by local warlords and bandits a long time ago, and made a living by opening mines.

It's just that in recent years, there have been frequent wars and endless battles with each other.

Coupled with the fierceness of the Miao Village, Dong Village and native people in the depths of Miaojiang, the mines are now mostly in the hands of those forces.

Although Zhang Qishan was in charge of the military defense of Changsha City, he hadn't reached the point where his hands and eyes could reach the sky. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't reach out his hand.

"I sent someone to check. This train departs from Xiangbei, but the time is wrong. It should not have arrived last night..."

Taking another map from the adjutant, it was directly overlaid on the previous geological map. Zhang Qishan tapped a point on one of them, and drew a dotted line straight down.

"Here, here, and here are all mountainous areas, which are convenient for trains to hide, and there are many mines in these places."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qishan turned around and glanced at several people.

"As long as you search inch by inch, you can definitely find the source of the sarcophagus."

After hearing what he said, several people showed a thoughtful look on their faces.

Wishing was also a little surprising.

It has to be said that Zhang Qishan is very capable, he can find the right direction in such a mess of thoughts with just a few words.

and.

Many years ago, Changsha City was a place where sand washing was gathered, but there was never a charter. They all relied on their own abilities, and a group of people from the rivers and lakes were in constant conflict.

Even the Huo family, which has been operating in old Changsha for hundreds of years, can't change the chaotic situation.

Zhang Qishan, a northerner, established the Old Nine Gates in just a few years after he arrived in Changsha City. Not only did he have an official army, but he also secretly unified the underground artifact distribution business.

The reputation of Admiral of the Nine Gates has become so prosperous today, which has a great relationship with Zhang Qishan's methods.

Otherwise, in another ten years or so, the city of Changsha will still be as it was many years ago.

"Buddha, when will we leave?"

Wu Laogou weighed in his heart for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and asked.

There's still something weird about it though.

But from the coffins that are full of cars, it can be seen that it may be a large tomb that has never been seen before.

If you want to fight for a monstrous wealth for the Wu family, how can you not take risks?

In just a moment, he actually had a decision in his heart.

"The sooner the better, within two days at most."

Zhang Qishan tapped his fingers on the long table, and he was also calculating in his mind that a large number of people must be thrown out first.

Go to the place he marked before and step on the plate.

This time, one day is enough.

Thinking of this, Zhang Rishan's eyes suddenly opened, and there was a flash of light in the depths of his eyes, and his voice was low, revealing an indescribable overbearing.

"Then the day after tomorrow morning?"

Old Dog Wu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes, gather outside the north gate in the morning the day after tomorrow."

"As for me, Buddha, I won't go. Let alone this cold weather, there are a lot of things waiting for me in the shop. In addition, I have to go to Xiangtan to help people look after the house."

Seeing that the two of them had set the time in a few words, Qi Tiezui felt a little conflicted in his heart, he didn't want to fight in person.

"You're not going?"

Zhang Qishan frowned, and glanced at Qi Tiezui.

"The master of the Qi family sent us this message at the cost of his life. There must be other signs along the way. You must go this time."

"Otherwise, when the time comes, one of my soldiers will lift you out of the bed and put a gun to your head."

"How to choose, you decide for yourself."

"Isn't there something wrong with me? I promised something good in the middle of the year."

Being stared at by Zhang Qishan's murderous gaze, Qi Tiezui shrank his neck. Having dealt with Zhang Qishan for so long, he knew him best.

This seems to be a joke, but if he really dares not to go, then Adjutant Zhang will definitely lead someone to break through the door.

Thinking of the miserable situation, Qi Tiezui couldn't help but shudder.

"Push it."

"After this matter is finished, I will personally send you to Xiangtan."

"Or if that person has an opinion, let him come and speak to me in person."

Zhang Qishan smiled.

But the smile that fell into Qi Tiezui's eyes made him even more flustered, "Cheng Chengcheng, I'm afraid, can't I go?"

……

Come out from the train station.

Wu Laogou looked at Zhang Qishan and Qi Tiezui who were leaving, looked away, and turned to make a wish standing once.

"Brother, when you first arrived in Changsha City, you probably don't have any relatives or friends you know. If you don't dislike it, why don't you come and stay with me for a few days?"

address.

I really didn't think about making a wish.

Before, he planned to find a random inn and hotel to live in first.

But now that Old Dog Wu is inviting you, he really can't refuse, so he nodded, "Then I'll trouble Old Brother Wu."

Wu Laogou waved his hand, "What's the matter, as long as Brother Xu doesn't dislike my shabby place."

The two rushed to the old city all the way.

The Jiumen family, although their residences are far and near, but most of them gather in the old city.

There is a lot of panic these years, and Changsha City is considered the most prosperous place in Hunan Province. Although it is a cold day, there are still many pedestrians on the road, and the shouting on the roadside is even more frequent.

Although it has been a while since I made a wish, I have been in this world.

But I stayed in Pingshan all the time, and then I was on my way.

This is the first time I have seen a bustling city.

"That's it."

At some point, Old Dog Wu stopped in front of a big house facing the street.

Going forward and backward three times, there are rockery pavilions and gardens, and there are servants doing things everywhere.

Looking at the wishing, I thought it was entering the mansion of the last prince.

Sure enough, it is worthy of the Wu Family of Nine Gates. Just relying on such a building would cost tens of thousands of oceans at least in this era.

Walk across the front yard with a wish.

While they were talking, they heard a loud noise, and then two little boys in thick padded jackets rushed out of the house.

"What's going on?"

Wu Laogou frowned and shouted.

The two children stopped immediately, hid the wooden knife toy behind their backs, lowered their heads, as if they had done something wrong.

"These are two sons, one poor and the other white."

Old Dog Wu rubbed his hands. Although he had a straight face, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

It seemed that he was afraid that making a wish would not understand the origin of the name, he explained again.

"There is a tradition of cheap names here, which is easy to support. It's just right for Daodou to be born poor and white."

"Then if I have another son, wouldn't it be called Sanxing?"

Make a wish and smiled, subconsciously said.

Unexpectedly, Old Dog Wu stopped, and then nodded in agreement, "This name is good, but scholars are different, hahaha, when my wife is born again, she will be called Sansheng."

After speaking, Old Dog Wu laughed and walked into the house.

Leave behind a bewildered wish.

"Wu Sansheng was named by me?"

It's a weird feeling.

The thoughts of wishing spread out, as if many years had passed in one go.

Standing in front of that scheming Wu Sansheng who is good at manipulating people's hearts, and looking at him, then he looked at himself with great admiration, and called uncle?
interesting.

Thinking of this scene, the corner of Wishing's mouth couldn't help evoking a smile.

There are probably very few people who can make the second-generation helm of the Wu family bow their heads.

However, this thought didn't last long, and he went straight to the two boys who were obviously in a daze.

Wu Yiqiong and Wu Erbai were a little surprised.

Today, my father didn't hit his palm, but smiled so happily.

"kid."

Touching their heads, making a wish, I feel like a strange sorghum.

If I remember correctly, although these two did not inherit the business of the Wu family, they have also made great names in other businesses.

Especially Wu Erbai, who is as scheming as a ghost.

Although Wu Sansheng is the second-generation head of the Wu family on the surface, but when it comes to real methods, the second uncle who is not ostentatious is the real ruthless person.

"who are you?"

Among them, the younger boy broke free from the wishing hand, stepped back a few steps, and stared at him cautiously.

"I'm your father's friend, your... uncle."

"Hmph, that's not true. I know all of my father's friends. Who are you and what are you doing at my house?"

"Do you think Uncle looks like a bad guy? Come on, call me Uncle, and I'll take you outside to buy candy. Malt candies are so sweet."

"No, mother said, there are a lot of crooks outside, if you dare to mess around, I will let my master beat you."

"Your master?"

"My master is amazing. Others call him the black-backed sixth son."

Wu Erbai said proudly with his head held high. When he was speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, with a look of surprise on his face, he crossed the wish and looked towards the direction of the door.

"master!"

Wishing frowned, subconsciously looked back.

It's just that there is no one there, so there is no such thing as a black-backed sixth child.

Knowing that he had been duped, he immediately turned his head and saw Wu Erbai had run away with his brother, and the kid still turned around and made a face for him.

"Stinky boy."

Wish shook his head.

This kid is really not a law-abiding person.

Three years old look old.

This sentence is true.

Wu Erbai is only so old now, yet he is so shrewd.

Wu Yiqiong on the other side seemed much more honest. He just pulled his brother's clothes, shook his head at him, and didn't dare to speak.

"Brother Xu?"

On the other side, Old Dog Wu, who had already entered the room, saw that he hadn't come in for a long time, so he greeted him.

"coming."

Ignoring the two boys, Wishing followed into the house.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt a warmth coming towards him, dispelling the cold air from his body.

But there was no burning stove on the ground, and I immediately understood after making a wish that there must be a fire dragon buried under the house, and there was no pungent smell of burning coal in the house, so clean coal should be used.

Clean coal is hard to find these days, unless it is shipped from Shanxi.

It costs a lot of money to go back and forth.

Only a big family like the Wu family can use it.

Not to mention that in the hall, there are countless antiques, calligraphy, painting, porcelain and jade, and even a big bronze tripod was seen in the wishing room.

That thing is not something ordinary people can get.

The weight of the country.

Old dog Wu put him at home so grandiosely.

This courage is really...

I don't even know how to describe it.

But right now, the nine major families guarding Changsha City are so powerful that almost all unearthed artifacts must go through the hands of one family if they want to get out of the city.

Although the bronze wares are extremely rare, it seems not surprising that they are placed at the level of the Nine Gate Admirals.

"It's all gadgets that have been fiddled with over the years."

Seeing the wishing eyes falling on those antiques, Old Dog Wu waved his hands casually.

It's just that the smug look in his eyes couldn't be concealed at all.

In his opinion, among the nine gates, Er Yuehong is the only one that suits his appetite. His ability to appraise antiques with one hand makes him admire.

"If it's all just gadgets, the people in Changsha City won't have to live anymore."

Wishing to look away, exclaimed.

Just now he took a random look around, the collection of ancient relics in this room, dating from before the pre-Qin period to the late Qing Dynasty, is all-encompassing.

Even he was eye-opening.

From these artifacts, we can also get a glimpse of the depth of the Wu family's heritage.

Although Nine Gates was founded only a few years ago, the Wu family has been a well-known sand-scourer in Changsha City since Wu Laogou's grandfather's generation, and their power has expanded countless times in this generation.
