Tang County boundaries.

Mr. Xu arranged a "treasure hunt" in the mountains in the morning and returned to the Yamen to handle daily affairs in the afternoon.

On Pingdingshan, a large warehouse and more than 20 houses for government officials have been built.

The government officials were eager to give it a try. Everyone wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money. All stones with a little bit of special color were submitted for registration and storage.

The stones in this huge warehouse are piled higher than people!

A barren mountain that was originally overgrown with weeds, thanks to the efforts of all members of the Tang County Yamen, no grass can grow, and only the soil is left, and all the grass seeds have been pulled out!

Those ordinary stones were also inspected layer by layer, classified and stacked.

At first glance, there is no hiding place at all!

"Have you found the suspicious person?"

"Never..." He didn't complete the master's task. Master Xu was like a child who had done something wrong, half-lowering his head, waiting for the master's reprimand.

"There are so many of you, but you haven't even caught a Shiba Inu?" That skinny man actually kicked the "jade" down the mountain!

His dream of getting rich was almost discovered!

That man is really hateful! Once you catch him, you won't be spared!

"This subordinate is incompetent. He is willing to accept the punishment..."

Yes, Wang Er, ran away!

On the night when Wang Er hid, he escaped with the help of Zhuo Youcai when the mountain was most chaotic!

Four government servants carrying a sedan got into a fight and were punished by the master to chop down trees to build a house! There was no one guarding the top of the mountain, so it was really easy to escape.

At this time, the officials carrying the sedan chair looked eagerly into the distance.

Others were queuing up to register while holding stones in their hands. They were lying if they said they were not in a hurry!

B and C: "I blame you! If it weren't for you, why would our brothers be sent here to chop wood!"

Sun Ze: "What did you say? You have the nerve to talk about me? If you hadn't hit someone first, I wouldn't bother to fight with you! Let alone be punished by the master! You, the initiator, have the nerve to pass the responsibility to others! Ouch! , This face is really thicker than a mountain."

B and C: "You fart! It's because you don't want to see how good my brothers are, that's why you are instigating it among us! You, a broom star and a troublemaker, are delaying my good things!"

Sun Ze: "Keep your mouth clean! Otherwise I will beat you with claws and claws all over the floor!"

Ya Biao: "Okay. You're still so angry. If you two weren't fighting, why would the four of us be sent here to chop down trees? If you want to continue fighting, stay away from us, so as not to get us involved again. !”

Yi Bing: "What are you talking about? Huh?? Why are we involved? Usually when something happens, you are the furthest away. When there are good times, you don't take less. Why, at this time, with the brothers Why are you so embarrassed?"

Ya Biao: "Yi Bing, are you crazy? You bite everyone you see here! Do you still want to lure the master here? If you have the energy to argue, you might as well use it to cut wood! If you finish the work early, you can also go find the treasure!" "

Sun Ze: "Look, Yi Bing, you are not as clear-eyed as a young man!"

B and C: "Shut up, you can't keep your mouth shut even when you're working."

Seeing Sun Ze going up to fight again, Ya Biao quickly stopped him. "Okay, why are you talking to him? It's time for Master to come and check the progress soon."

Sun Ze was only willing to give up when he mentioned this convincing master.

He spat on his hands, rubbed them, and continued cutting down trees.

The four of them are mainly responsible for cutting down the wood to build the warehouse.

The rest of the wood used for residential houses is basically felled by everyone.

It can be said that whoever lives in the house will cut the wood. As for Magistrate Tang’s house, everyone helped to build it.

Although the teacher arranged this arrangement, it delayed the progress of finding the treasure, but because it was very fair, no one objected!

Everyone chopped down trees and built houses, and then devoted themselves to the progress of treasure hunting.

That efficiency is surprisingly high!

The entire flat-topped mountain is "shaved clean" visible to the naked eye!

The warehouse was already full, and at the signal of Magistrate Tang, the teacher found an "expert".

After some hammering and tossing, an old man with only a few beards left said: "Such a stone, although it has been washed and baptized, and tempered by years, but because it lives on the surface all year round, the wind blows Oxidation does not turn into jade!”

"What!" Magistrate Tang, who was sitting steadily on his chair, suddenly stood up.

"How could it not be jade? Look at the color! How beautiful! How could it not be jade?" Magistrate Tang couldn't believe it!

The master hurriedly stepped forward and supported his master: "Yes, yes, it looks very different from ordinary stones. Please give me some more eyes to take a closer look." After that, the master took out a few money bags. , stuffed into the hands of every "expert" present.

"This..." The old man who took the lead was a little embarrassed.

"It's not that we deliberately took Joe. Even if we come to a conclusion today against our will, you can't sell these stones for a price if you transport them out in the future. Master, please see, although the surface of these stones is smooth, the texture is not heavy! Although the color Special, but the color is not transparent! "

Another old man took a step forward: "Yes, sir, you can hold it and see if it is real jade. The jade will heat up with the human body. But now these are all stones that cannot heat up..."

"It's not hot... it's not hot... it's not real jade..." County magistrate Tang never imagined that the "treasure lump" he had collected by looking forward to the stars and the moon turned out to be a non-real jade... Pricey stone.

Magistrate Tang grabbed a handful of "jades" and spread them out in his palm: "These are different from ordinary stones! In your opinion, how much would these be worth if sold in a shop?" Magistrate Tang still didn't want to give up. Give up like this.

"Shu Laowan said bluntly... Even if the master does not take into account the transportation cost, the goods sent to the shop are only used to make worthless handicrafts or decorations, or to decorate the courtyard... A stone can cost as little as three cents. ...as many as ten articles."

"What! It's only ten cents!" Magistrate Tang was exhausted.

It’s such a worthless thing! It’s a shame that he still treats it as a treasure these days!

This troubled everyone in the yamen, and they had to work on this mountain for seven or eight days!

In order to grab the stones, everyone stopped going to the toilet and stopped drinking water. They didn't even faint from hunger, so they didn't have time to eat. They all expected to get rich overnight and let their families follow suit!

This is great. If we knew that the stones we had worked so hard to find were only worth so much money, it would be unclear whether anyone would carry them down the mountain!

Magistrate Tang's eyes were dull, and he took several steps back before regaining his balance.

Where is the promised baby...
