Chu's Zhaohua

Chapter 69

Wei Hao smiled and said, "Brother, what can be the matter? It's not that there are thieves in the jade mine." A few years ago, the management of the jade mine was extremely lax. The son was handed over to the eldest brother for management. Since then, King Qin’s annual income from jade has increased several times compared to previous years.

On weekdays, the eldest brother doesn't care about the situation of sneaking into the mine to get some leftovers.

The man said, "Young Master, the soldiers guarding the jade mine came to report last night, saying that they heard a loud noise. When they rushed over, there were many fragments of jade ore in the jade mine. The villain didn't know the specific situation. It’s the jade mine that’s recruiting thieves again.”

"Loud noise?" Wei Heng sat down slowly, with a gentle voice.

"The villain doesn't know the specifics, the soldiers said it looked like it was struck by lightning..."

Wei Heng said softly, "Last night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, where did the thunder come from?" Then he turned his head and said to Wei, "Go get someone to prepare the car, I'll go and see for myself."

Seeing that the elder brother attached so much importance to this matter, Wei Hao didn't delay, and immediately sent someone to prepare the carriage.

After preparing the carriage, the three of them left Yecheng together, headed towards the Yukuang mountain range, and when they got up the mountain and saw the mess, Wei Heng's expression finally changed slightly, his dark eyes darkened a bit, He took a few steps forward and stood on a large piece of broken jade. Looking around, he could see that a large piece of the mountain range had been blown up, and the scattered ore on the ground was stained with black smoke. He reached out to pick up a piece, and with his index finger Wipe off the black on it, and sniff it between the wings of his nose, his expression became colder than usual.

Wei Hao obviously didn't expect this to happen, "Brother, this..." There is a huge deep pit in the mine ahead, which was obviously split by something, but there was no thunder yesterday, "This is the pit." How did you do it?"

The following official is in charge of the jade mine mountain range, his surname is Wang, and he is called Master Wang.

There was cold sweat dripping from Mr. Wang's forehead, and he became panicked for a moment.

Wei Heng lowered his eyelids, "It smells like sulfur. I can't say exactly how it was made. It wasn't chiseled, it should have been blasted. It wasn't thunder. I don't know exactly what it is."

Wei Hao was surprised, "Brother, can there be something comparable to Tianlei in this world? This..." There was also a bit of excitement in his expression, if he could get such a thing, won't it be easy to win the world?
Mr. Wang wiped off his cold sweat and said, "Young master atones for his sins, and the villain didn't know that this would happen."

"No problem." Wei Heng's gaze fell on a piece of fragmented iron not far away. He walked over to pick it up and looked it over carefully. It was the most common iron without any patterns or special features. He wanted to check it out. It is unlikely that it came out of any iron shop.

Wei Heng put the piece of iron and a small piece of jade ore stuck to the black dust into his bag, then got up and said, "Go back, there's nothing to see here."

When the three of them went back to the Wei Mansion, Wei Hao was still a little excited, "Brother, may we find out what this thing is?"

Wei Heng shook his head, "We can only start from other places first."

Mr. Wang blamed himself for a while, "It's all because of the villain. If I had reported to Young Master last night, maybe those people would have been caught."

Wei Heng said, "Your Majesty Wang, there is no need to blame yourself. They obviously prepared for it long ago. After blowing up the jade mine, they transported it away directly. If they guessed right, they should have taken it by water. Even if they searched last night, they couldn't find it. What."

Wei Hao frowned, "Brother, did you just give up like this?"

"Of course not." Wei Heng said slowly, "After going back, first check which jade vendors in Yecheng are not in the city recently, and when and when they left Yecheng, and then ask people to take a walk near the canal outside the city , and see where they left from."

Wei Hao smiled and said, "It's still big brother, whoever caught it, wouldn't this thing know?"

Wei Heng looked calm, "I'm afraid it won't be that simple."
