Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

Chapter 311 3 Years of Accumulation

Fatty Fan had difficulty walking, so he was led in by a friend named Fang Huanxiang.

"Brother Yuan, this mine was dug by these people themselves, it's not that deep!"

Fang Huanxiang still had a slight accent from his hometown. Among them, the dozen or so "Kaiguo" generals with the surname Fang were almost all from the same county.

When we were in the old city, we all lived in the same compound, so our accents were greatly influenced.

Ning Yuan followed Fang Huanxiang and walked a short distance inside when he heard some rustling noises.

Fang Huanxiang was closer to Ning Yuan than Ning Yuan, so he naturally heard the noise as well. However, he did not panic. Instead, he turned around and explained to Ning Yuan.

"Brother Yuan, the bottom of the mine is just ahead. There are some women in there. They eat and drink there almost every day."

Having said that, he led Ning Yuan and the others in from the front.

After Ning Yuan went in, he didn't want to stay there any longer after just one look. He gave an order to Fang Huanxiang, and after bringing them all out, he walked out of the mine with everyone behind him.

More than 20 women were brought out, of varying ages, ranging from those in their 40s and 50s to those in their 20s.

However, they all had one characteristic: facing Ning Yuan and the others, they looked cramped and nervous, with numb and empty eyes.

Even when he saw the dozen or so corpses at the mine entrance, he didn't seem too frightened and just kept dodging.

Fatty Fan wanted to come up and explain something, but Ning Yuan just waved his hand.

Needless to say, he knew what was going on with these women.

Now he had one more thing to consider: how to accommodate these women.

Fatty Fan asked Fang Huanxiang to take a few friends to take these women aside to rest, and then he sat next to Ning Yuan.

"How are we going to handle this today? We can't get away this time!"

Ning Yuan looked at Fatty Fan and spoke in a nonchalant manner.

"What's so difficult about this? We're acting on behalf of justice. I'll just go and talk to the county. Maybe they'll even reward us!"

Fatty Fan looked at Ning Yuan's relaxed expression, smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

After going through this, his character has really grown a lot.

How could it be as easy as Ning Yuan said?

Although this is in the deep mountains and forests in the countryside, guns have been fired and almost the entire village's incense has been wiped out. This matter is a bit difficult to handle!

However, due to the closed nature of the times and geographical location, they still have room and initiative to operate.

Thinking of this, Fatty Fan spoke to Ning Yuan.

"Last time in the county, that~"

"Brother Yuan, Fatty! Come and see!"

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a shout.

Ning Yuan and the fat man stood up at the same time and looked in the direction where the shouting came from.

It was Wu Zhongguo and his group who had returned. Together with that man, there were four of them, each holding a small rag bag, and they were shouting towards this side breathlessly.

Ning Yuan noticed the cloth bags in their hands, and they were holding the bottoms up.

Well, this is the family fortune that has been taken back.

A few buddies had already come over, and seeing how breathless they were, and how little they had in their hands, they couldn't help but start teasing them.

"Old Wu, how come you guys are even worse than women? How come you were exhausted by something that's not much bigger than a brick?"

After hearing this, a few buddies who had gathered around early burst into laughter.

"Da Liu, you little bastard, are you itching for trouble? I didn't teach you a lesson for three days, and you dared to tease me, your buddy!"

Wu Zhongguo shouted at the buddy who teased him, half laughing and half cursing.

Ning Yuan also came over at this time, supporting the fat man.

Seeing Wu Zhongguo, Tian Erliang and Hu Lianwang, they carefully placed the cloth bags in their hands on the ground before sitting down.

The guys around were still watching Wu Zhongguo and the others chatting and laughing.

Ning Yuan interrupted directly and said, "Da Liu, you are really ignorant. Try it yourself and you will understand how heavy this small thing they put down is!"

When Liu Da heard Ning Yuan speak, he quickly shut up, but he was still quite unconvinced.

So he rolled up his sleeves, reached out for the opening of the cloth bag with one hand, and wanted to pick it up with one hand.

As a result, the cloth bag only left the ground slightly, but Liu Da dodged it directly.

Liu Da reacted later and looked at the cloth bag on the ground in disbelief.

Wu Zhongguo was laughing as if he was enjoying the show.

Ning Yuan couldn't help but smile and said.

"Well, now you know how heavy this thing is!"

Big Liu nodded awkwardly, but he still couldn't let go of his pride. He rolled up his left sleeve as well, then used both hands to pull up the small thing on the ground.

Ning Yuan saw the boy walking around with the cloth bag and said quickly.

"Alright, put it down quickly before you tear the bag apart!"

As if following Ning Yuan's words, as soon as he finished speaking, the cloth bag made a "hiss" sound and tore directly apart from the stitches.

An irregular round piece of yellow metal rolled to the ground.

"Bang!" It fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Ning Yuan walked forward and took a look. The color was dark yellow, indicating that there were a lot of impurities. However, it was quite good that they could refine the rock gold ore to this level.

After weighing it in his hand, Ning Yuan had a rough idea in his mind.

A gold cake like this is about the size of two bricks.

If calculated based on the density of 999 pure gold in later generations, it should be at least around 120 kilograms.

The weight of the gold cake in front of me is estimated to be about 90 kilograms, and there must be a lot of impurities in it.

Ning Yuan looked at the other cloth bags and motioned everyone around him to open them and take a look.

Sure enough, the regulations are similar, they should be melted from the same mold.

The melting point of gold is actually relatively low, lower than that of iron and copper, so using fire to smelt gold ore is considered the most primitive method.

Ning Yuan looked at these big gold cakes, made a simple estimate, and had a rough idea in his mind.

The total weight of these four large gold cakes is close to 400 kilograms, and the purity is about 80%.

All in all, the pure gold weighs at least 300 kilograms.

These guys have been working here for thirty years and only got three hundred kilograms of gold?

Ten kilograms a year may sound like a small amount, but it is actually quite a lot compared to the amount mined.

Water gold panning and mountain gold panning are two completely different concepts.

After a simple estimate, Ning Yuan knew that he had made a fortune!

More than three hundred pounds of gold, one hundred and fifty kilograms.

That is, 15 grams!

If you don't calculate it based on the value in the future, but based on the current gold price, it would still be a way to get rich overnight.

However, Ning Yuan knew that this gold did not all belong to him, or in other words, if he wanted to smooth over this matter, it could not all belong to him!
