Chapter 154 The legendary gold mountain
"Daddy."
The little girl hugged Prince Yi's neck coquettishly:
"Let me take a look first."
She knew that her daddy doted on her, so she wanted to go over and put away some things first.
Prince Yi lowered his head, looked at the little girl with a fawning face, and sighed helplessly:
"You."
"I'll go down and take a look first."
Hiss...
Prefect Hu Du was completely stunned.
What did he just hear? This king? The young man in front of him, who didn't look like a high-ranking official, was actually the current prince?
It's over!
He's finished!
Not only is he going to lose money, but his life is probably in danger.
He couldn't explain so much gold, silver and food.
But Prince Yi had already gone down with the child.
There is a night-shining pearl in the underground secret room. Although the light inside is not very bright, it is better than an oil lamp!
"So rich."
Yuan Baobao couldn't help but admire!
He was much richer than her.
"Daddy, I want more."
The little girl started to act coquettishly again. This was a rare opportunity to enrich her private treasury.
Prince Yi put her down and warned in a low voice: "Take less."
The little girl smiled even sweeter: "Got it."
South Sea pearls, not bad, I want more.
Little Gold Mountain, okay, I want more!
Jade coral, beautiful, confiscated...
The little girl was very happy to receive them, but she was also sensible and took less than one-fifth.
The ones she chose were all fine products. Prince Yi's mouth twitched when he saw them. His daughter knew the value of these things.
But he didn't feel sorry.
He would confiscate all these things and buy them into food to make the people outside a little better off.
Prince Yi had everyone come down very quickly, and everyone was stunned to see so many good things.
Liu Quan led people to start counting and making a list.
Prince Yi took Yuan Bao back to the room outside.
Ye Feng was still wondering, although he just came down to take a look, he always felt that there were a lot less things inside!
But it was impossible.
His prince and the little princess came down without taking anything.
It was even more impossible that they took the treasure away!
The prefect was already paralyzed with fear, and his wife was kneeling beside him with a pale face.
"Haha, what a good official who has no food, is not greedy, and cares about the people!"
Prince Yi sneered, and the prefect opened his mouth, his lips trembling:
"Prince, this humble official..."
"Go to prison."
"Let someone interrogate him and tell him all the evil things he has done in recent years."
[I guess he won't say anything valuable.]
Yuan Baobao knows that his father is a good prince, but this method is too rigid!
[He has to make amends for his sins, otherwise, how can he tell the truth?]
Prince Yi sneered:
"Remember, whether you can survive depends on yourself. This king can give you a chance to make amends for your sins."
"As long as the information you spit out is valuable, this king can spare your life."
The prefect... He originally wanted to fight to the end, maybe the man in the capital would know and come to save him.
But...what the prince said was very tempting.
"Don't take advantage of the situation. The emperor hates corrupt officials who squeeze the people's money the most. Whether you can survive depends on your attitude."
The prefect was still dragged away, and there were two suspicious water stains on the ground.
They belonged to the prefect and his wife. With the two of them as companions, I believe they will say more.
[I really want to go and take a look.]
[The methods of the secret guards must be very powerful, right?]
"Daddy, I want..."
The little girl stretched out her little hand excitedly, pointing in the direction where the secret guards just disappeared, but Prince Yi tightened his arm.
His daughter has a tendency to violence.
You don't need to think about it to know that the interrogation must be bloody. Normal children don't even have time to hide. This one of his actually wants to go and watch?
But today's harvest is not bad, and Prince Yi is in a good mood.
The people below also went down to distribute porridge, so the people would not starve to death for the time being.
Wait until the main force arrives before taking the next step.
"Are you still going to see Shitou Mountain?"
Yuan Baobao pouted unhappily and turned her head away: "Stinky daddy!"
She was controlled by her daddy, and he always knew how to make her unable to refuse.
"Not going?"
"You said there is gold in it."
Yuan Baobao glared at Prince Yi: "Go, go now."
Niu Er was waiting outside. He didn't sleep when he went back last night. He felt that his good days had begun.
Inadvertently, he actually hooked up with a prince.
The little princess likes him very much.
If he could be taken to the capital, even if he went to the prince's mansion to be a servant, it would be a great honor for his ancestors for eight generations.
Wow, so exciting!
Finally seeing the cold prince, Niu Er hurried forward, bent down and was about to kneel down.
Prince Yi waved his hand: "No need."
"Go now."
Niu Er was overwhelmed by the favor. Prince Yi actually didn't let him kneel down?
Did he think so highly of him?
"Prince, the mountain with that kind of stone has always been our burial ground. Everyone says that it is eerie at night, so people nearby don't dare to go there at night."
Niu Er explained.
"But there seem to be a lot of these stones on that mountain, some of which are very large. These stones have no other characteristics, but they are very hard."
Niu Er led the way in front, and some children followed behind, also with a look of curiosity.
Now there is nothing to eat on the slope, and the wild vegetables that can be dug in the wild have been dug up long ago.
After such a long drought, even the occasional wild vegetables left have dried up.
Not only the wild vegetables, but also some trees on the mountain are wilted, without leaves, and I don't know if they are dead.
"Is that mountain big?" Liu Quan asked.
His prince doesn't like to talk, he must find out everything clearly.
"It's quite big. All the stones we can see inside are of this type. However, it's very difficult to dig out these stones. These fell down by themselves!"
[This is the stone exposed outside, weathered and fallen.]
[I never thought there would be such a mountain here!]
[If I had discovered it earlier, the villagers nearby would have become rich and well-off!]
Yuan Baobao sighed in his heart. Prince Yi could understand getting rich, but what did this mean by well-off?
But he guessed it should mean having money.
His daughter wanted to make money with the villagers nearby. She was really kind-hearted.
Prince Yi felt relieved.
Thinking about his well-behaved little daughter, although she was a little greedy sometimes, she was quite sensible most of the time.
Just like discovering that the stones here contain gold, the first thing she thought of was to tell me, instead of being greedy and hiding it.
But my daughter is still young, and her temperament in the future is uncertain. I must guide her well and not let her be too violent or too greedy.
Yuan Baobao didn't know that her father had turned ninety-nine and eighty-one bends in his heart.
Niu Er was still shocked when he heard the little princess's voice again.
