Chapter 452: A mine with many gold deposits found
As she accumulated more and more merit, she actually awakened the ability to read people's faces.
Lin Luoxi saw that the man's face was full of malevolent energy, indicating that he was no good person. She would not let such a person continue to harm the people.
"If you let us go, I'll tell you where the gold mine is."
Seeing that Lin Luoxi wasn't tempted, Ma Feiying increased his stakes.
"What a coincidence, I also know where the gold mine is? So, you don't need to waste your time..."
Thinking that this person was too noisy, Lin Luoxi took out the medicine powder, knocked Ma Feiying unconscious, tied him up with a rope, and threw him aside.
After waiting for Xiong and Baihu to finish dealing with all the bandits at the foot of the mountain, Lin Luoxi packed her things and had Xiong pull Ma Feiying up the mountain.
"Mother, you're here. We've already taken care of things here." Xie Leyao immediately stepped forward to take credit when she saw Lin Luoxi come up.
"Yes, our Yao'er is amazing, and her four older brothers are amazing too. You guys are awesome..." Looking at the bandit lying on the ground, his bones broken and deformed, Lin Luoxi subconsciously glanced at Xie Zhiyan.
It's hard to find anyone other than her second son who could beat someone up like that.
"Hehe..." Xie Zhiyan saw his mother looking at him with loving eyes, and he scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
The children had dealt with the bandits on the mountain, and Lin Luoxi, with Baihu in tow, began searching the mountaintop.
"How is it?" Lin Luoxi asked as she walked over to Xie Hanchuan, who was deep in thought at the edge of the cliff.
“I think the gold mine should be down here, but how do we get down?” Xie Hanchuan’s intuition told him that the gold mine was right below the cliff.
"Are you sure?" Lin Luoxi took a few steps forward and looked down at the cliff. This cliff was at least several thousand meters high. If one was not careful, one would surely fall to their death.
Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan walked along the cliff edge several times but couldn't find a way down. They stood on the edge, deeply distressed.
"Mommy, this place is so much fun..." As Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan stood on the edge of the cliff, pondering how to get down, the laughter of Xie Leyao's children came from behind them.
Hearing the child's voice, the two turned around and saw the child inside the house, who had found a rope from somewhere and was swinging back and forth like a swing.
"Ah!" Xie Leyao, who was swinging vigorously, suddenly fell downwards.
"Le Yao..." Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan were so frightened by the sight that they used their lightness skills to rush to Xie Le Yao's side.
Xie Hanchuan and Lin Luoxi never expected that the children would find the way down the cliff.
The gauze curtain that Xie Leyao used for swinging was actually a mechanism leading down the cliff. As soon as it was pulled, the floor inside the room would open from the middle to both sides, revealing the steps leading down the cliff.
When Xie Leyao triggered the mechanism, the gauze curtain fell down, causing Xie Leyao, who was swinging on the curtain, to fall down as well.
Xie Hanchuan and Lin Luoxi were so worried about Xie Leyao's injury that they didn't notice the floorboards inside the house had opened up, and all three of them fell onto the steps.
When Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan realized what was happening, they immediately smiled.
We led the children down the steps. We don't know how many steps we climbed, but we finally reached the bottom of the cliff.
When the family of seven reached the bottom of the cliff, they could still hear the sounds of mining.
"There are still people inside??" Upon hearing the familiar mining sounds, Lin Luoxi immediately took out a sleeping potion and blew it into the cave.
A short while later, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard, and then it became quiet inside.
"Come on, let's go inside and take a look..." Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan led the children inside.
"Wow, so much gold, it's dazzling my eyes..." Xie Zhichu's mischievous voice came again.
"There's so much gold here..." Xie Leyao's mouth dropped open when she saw the gold inside.
There was indeed a lot of gold in this cave; the refined gold bricks were piled up in one corner.
Several boxes were filled with pieces made into jewelry; I really liked them.
There was also a lot of gold ore, which had not yet been refined, scattered on the ground.
"Go ahead, pick out a few you like to take home..." Seeing that the children liked these golden things, Lin Luoxi told them to pick some.
They even found such a huge gold mine for the imperial court; it wouldn't be too much to ask them to take some!
Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, the children happily rushed to the gold bricks, took a few, and then put the gold necklaces and rings on their hands.
He didn't walk up to Lin Luoxi until he had hung all his belongings on him.
Seeing how much effort the children were putting in, Lin Luoxi took out a sack, helped them put the contents inside, and put it away for them.
"Who are you?" The foreman guarding the place had just returned from relieving himself outside when he saw strangers in their mine. He immediately drew his knife and attacked Lin Luoxi and the others.
The secrets here must not be revealed to these people.
"Hmph!" Xie Hanchuan snorted coldly, and the knife in his hand swiftly plunged into the leader's chest, killing him instantly.
Lin Luoxi was afraid of scaring the children, so she tried to cover their eyes. However, she saw that the children's eyes showed no fear except for their admiration for Xie Hanchuan.
Well, she worried for nothing.
Xie Hanchuan tied up everyone in the mine and handed them over to his men before leaving with Lin Luoxi and the children.
Now that they knew there was a gold mine at the foot of the cliff, they quickly notified Xiao Jingchen so that he could send people to oversee the area.
They handed over this gold mine to Xiao Jingchen, but they wouldn't hand over the mine on Bear Ridge; they'd keep it to save their lives.
Just as Xiao Jingchen was about to go to sleep, he received a message from Lin Ruoxi via hawk. He was so excited that he didn't even want to sleep. He rushed to the study and had a bodyguard with a similar build to him disguise himself as him.
He then left the palace with his trusted confidants, intending to visit the mine that Lin Luoxi had mentioned.
"Your Majesty, I want to go too..." Xiao Jingchen had just stepped out of the study when Lin Xingman blocked his way, looking at him with a pitiful expression.
"Let's go then!" Xiao Jingchen thought of Lin Xinman's skills and agreed to take the celebrities with him to Yancheng.
Throughout the journey, Xiao Jingchen was extremely excited; Lin Luoxi was truly a benefactor to the Xiao family.
Not only did he help the imperial court eliminate corrupt officials who were committing all sorts of evil deeds and were extremely arrogant, but he also helped them find a gold mine.
When the national treasury was short of money, they helped him find such a large gold mine.
They arrived in Yancheng in just one day and one night.
After Xiao Jingchen arrived in Yancheng, Lin Luoxi had already handed over all the affairs in Yancheng to Lin Wenqian and rushed to Qingcheng with her family.
