Chapter 200: Emptying the Warehouse
Chen Fenghe quickly found a courtyard in the big village that was surrounded by a high stone wall. There were many bandits inside and outside the courtyard, and it was heavily guarded.
She observed from a distance for a while and found that from time to time bandits were transporting cartloads of stones into the yard on carts.
She had no idea what was happening in the yard. She thought for a moment, then quickly pulled out a cart and some raw gold ore from her space, pushing it toward the door.
After being questioned by the guard for a few questions, the guard checked the gold ore in her car and let her in.
After entering the yard, she secretly observed that the yard was built against the mountain. There was a big pot in the yard and a lot of firewood piled up. There was also a stream in the corner of the yard that was brought from the mountain, making a gurgling sound.
There were many ragged coolies grinding the gold ore into powder and then throwing it into large vats.
Chen Fenghe guessed that this was probably a metallurgical site. There were several ways to extract gold. The water method was probably flotation, and the other method was to use fire to burn the gold ore at high temperatures.
However, perhaps because they were afraid that the fire would be discovered at night, they only used the floating gold method at night.
Not far from the metallurgical site, there are two other windowless houses, whose guards are even stricter than those in this courtyard. Chen Fenghe guessed that this should be the warehouse.
She followed others' example and handed over the gold ore. After weighing it, she left the yard and teleported directly into the windowless warehouse.
There were several locked ebony boxes inside. She pried open the locks with wire and opened them. Sure enough, there were a lot of gold ingots inside!
Shen Fenghe couldn't help but smile.
This move paid off, as it actually gave her such a huge unexpected fortune.
With a wave of her hand, she collected all the gold ingots in the ebony box into the space, then closed the box again and locked it again.
At this moment, the sound of unlocking was suddenly heard at the door. Chen Fenghe immediately entered the space and teleported outside the yard.
After moving the gold, Chen Fenghe couldn't help but worry about Xiao Yunshuo again. After thinking about it, she decided to sneak into the cave to see the situation.
Moreover, she was also curious about who the person wearing the mask was.
At this time, in the mine.
The bandit leader led several masked men to the large hole that had just been dug in the mine and said excitedly, "Master, it looks like they've opened a new mine. Please go in and take a look."
At this moment, the overseer in the mine saw them and rushed over, kneeling down in a mass. After saluting, the overseer, looking pale, trembling, approached and whispered to the bandit leader, "Boss... Boss, we've dug through, but..."
The bandit leader was very impatient: "But what? Master, please watch your step."
As he spoke, he pushed the supervisor aside and led a few people in.
When the bandit leader saw the situation in the cave, his face turned pale.
Under the light, the rocks that should have reflected golden light everywhere are now pitch black. They are clearly just ordinary stones, not gold ore at all.
Moreover, no matter how you look at it, this mountain wall looks like it has just been hollowed out!
"This... Old Zhang! What the hell is going on? Didn't they say that the gold ore in this mine is no less than the total amount we dug out before? Why is it all just ordinary stone?"
