I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Liu Tanting looked at Huo Guang expressionlessly from behind: "It's too late for you to say you were joking with me."

Huo Guang smiled bitterly: "How dare I make such a joke with His Highness?"

Liu Tan closed his eyes. He was still thinking that he would finally have an explanation when he went back this time, but he was given such a big surprise just after he came back.

Li Guangli was sent by Liu Che, how could he explain to Liu Che?

No matter how civilized Liu Tan is, he really wants to swear at this time.

He walked inside with a dark face and said, "Call Jiang Chong to me!"

As soon as Huo Guang heard it, he knew that Liu Tan was on the verge of eruption, but he still asked calmly, "Then... the good news is one step ahead?"

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he had won the battle, and it was a great victory, regardless of the number of people, the meaning of destroying the country is different, so Lubu needs to go to Beijing, one is to inspire people, and the other is to prevent being Conceal merit.

Even though there is basically no place for the big man to use troops now, and no one dares to suppress his credit for not reporting, but this has formed a rule, so it still has to be done.

Liu Tan is silent. In addition to Lu Bu's arrival in Beijing, he also has to write letters, including but not limited to letters to Liu Che, letters to Chen Ajiao, and letters to Liu Shi.

He has a headache, how can he explain this, Mrs. Li is quite favored now, his elder brother went to him, and the person is gone.

Liu Tan really felt that he was about to die.

But it's useless to conceal this kind of thing, Liu Tan simply said: "Wait for two days, I have too many things to write to my father."

He hasn't written many letters since he started to clean up the robbery. Even if he writes a letter, it is to report his safety. One is that he doesn't want Jingli to worry about it, and the other is that he is afraid that his letter will be robbed. what to do?

This caused Liu Tan to describe the matter in detail now.

Seeing that Liu Tan had temporarily concealed Li Guangli's sudden death, Huo Guang reminded him: "Your Highness, let's say good morning. You have the prestige of victory. No one will make things difficult for you because of Li Guangli."

Let's not talk about Liu Che's side, let's say that the big shots in the court will not embarrass Liu Tan because of a waste.

Liu Tan's fight extended the power of the big man a lot, and it laid a good foundation. Even if he really confronted the Xiongnu in the future, it would save a lot of trouble.

The most wonderful thing is that it is basically impossible for Liu Tan to lead the army, and he will not have any competition with the military generals in the court. He is still the prince, and whoever is full can make trouble for a foreign relative.

Liu Tan thought about it too. The news of the victory should be able to somewhat resolve the anger caused by Li Guangli's death, right?Well, this is for Liu Che.

He said as he walked, "I know."

But before that, he still wants to meet Jiang Chong. Of course, he doubts Jiang Chong in his heart. Others may not dare to do anything to his relatives. What is it in his eyes?

What's more, Liu Tan asked him to stare at Li Guangli before he left. Isn't it normal for Li Guangli to look for him when something happens?

Because the matter was urgent, Liu Tan just washed his face in a hurry and summoned Jiang Chong.

Jiang Chong also had a string in his heart. He knew Liu Tan hadn't had time to deal with him when he saw Liu Tan. This was an incredible thing for Xijie's Fifth Highness.

From the side, it also shows that this matter is indeed very serious, so he must deal with it well. If he doesn't deal with it well, he may go to be with Li Guangli as a companion.

When Liu Tan saw Jiang Chong, his expression was very flat, and he even smiled a little. He didn't look suspicious at all, and he expressed condolences to Jiang Chong for his hard work.

And Jiang Chong was also calm, and there was no sign of guilt on his face, which made Liu Tan wonder if Li Guangli really died of natural causes.

After all, he was tortured enough before, if that's the case... Liu Tan couldn't help but shudder, this... is really his responsibility.

Jiang Chong talked to Liu and saluted, and after saying that he was well, he took the initiative to say: "Your Highness summoned the ministers to ask about General Li."

Liu Tan leaned back a little tiredly: "You don't need to think too much, I just want to understand, after all, General Li can't die without knowing it, if it's another person, maybe it's okay, but this person... a deal with it If you are not kind, I am afraid that you and I will suffer.”

Jiang Chong's face was solemn: "I know that even if Your Highness doesn't summon me, I will come to His Highness to report this matter."

Liu Tan heard something and immediately asked: "It seems that there is indeed a reason for it. I only heard that the captain said it was a sudden death. Why did he die suddenly? An emergency?"

Jiang Chong shook his head: "The sudden death is just a statement made by the captain after discussing with the minister, but the truth is... the gold mine collapsed and he was killed by a gold stone."

Liu Tan was stunned when he heard this: "The gold mine collapsed? How could a good gold mine collapse? No, what did Li Guangli go to the gold mine for?"

Jiang Chong said: "We have to start from the beginning. Before His Royal Highness set off, he told his ministers to observe General Li more, and he did the same. After His Royal Highness left, General Li replaced all the guards of the gold mine with his own men. This matter was a big one at the time, and it was the captain himself who came forward, but Li Guangli didn't even give the captain any face, he just said that His Highness told him to be stationed here, so he has to do his best to live up to His Highness's entrustment."

Liu Tan laughed angrily when he heard this: "Then he is really serious."

Even without Huo Guang's face, Li Guangli's mind is full of tofu, right?

Jiang Chong continued: "Because he moved out of His Highness, Captain Du was busy at that time and didn't argue with him too much, so he warned him that he would do what he said and then he didn't care about it. In the past two days, Li Guangli was really serious. Go to the mining area to patrol every day."

Liu Tan raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "Daily? He goes in person?"

After seeing Jiang Chong nodding his head, Liu Tan sneered: "Weasel has no good intentions in wishing the chicken a New Year greeting. The mining area is full of dust and dirt. Where is it worth him to go in person?"

Jiang Chong was stunned when he heard the first half of his sentence. After three rounds in his mind, he couldn't find where he had heard it before, but the second half of the sentence was right in his arms.

So he quickly said: "That's right, the minister was also quite surprised, so he bribed a person beside him to watch him."

Liu Tan raised his eyebrows: "You bought the people around him? So easy?"

There was a little disdain in Jiang Chong's eyes: "Your Highness, you don't have to think too highly of those people. These people are profit-seeking villains. They can do anything for money. As long as the money is in place, what is betrayal?"

Liu Tan thought, don't talk about others, you are the same as them, but more ruthless than these people.

Jiang Chong didn't know what Liu Tan was thinking, and continued: "Later, this person really brought some news. Li Guangli's inspection of the mine was just to find out which hole produced more ore, and then it was convenient for him to cheat the world and corrupt the gold mine!"

Liu Tan was not surprised when he heard this, he knew it well, and he was using gold mines to stop Li Guangli's mouth, otherwise Li Guangli, a fool, would not understand, and when he went back to the capital to complain, Liu Che would still What don't you understand?

On the contrary, Li Guangli benefited, and if Liu Tan coaxed him again, Li Guangli might forget about it.

Yes, from the beginning to the end, Liu Tan never thought about killing Li Guangli. He is not a pervert, thinking about killing someone every day.

That is a person, no matter how annoying he is, he has lived in front of you, he can talk and laugh, he can kill as soon as he wants, and the psychological pressure is too great.

Jiang Chong saw Liu Tan's expression and said: "Chen... I didn't feel relieved at first. Since His Highness let him go, there is a reason for His Highness, but Li Guangli should never have been too greedy, and wanted to monopolize a place." Holes everywhere!"

Liu Tan was startled in an instant: "What did you say? He wants to monopolize a gold mine produced by the hole?"

Jiang Chong nodded heavily: "That's exactly the case, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the door directly."

Liu Tan frowned: "What is he thinking? The daily output of the gold mine is fixed, and it can be seen at a glance if there is one missing hole. Even if he can buy the paperwork, the total number is there."

Jiang Chong said: "Li Guangli naturally thought of this, so after he took control of the gold mine, he began to force the miners to mine the gold mine day and night, and then the output was the same as before. No one could see that he was greedy. "

Liu Tan almost laughed angrily: "He is smart, he thinks that everyone doesn't know how many gold mines there are anyway."

It has to be said that Li Guangli's move is hard to guard against. After all, if the people inside can't report the news, who knows how much they have produced?

At this time, the anger level in Liu Tan's heart had begun to rise, and he knew how Li Guangli forced people to work when he thought about it, but it must be known that only a few of these miners were experienced hands sent by Liu Che, and most of the rest were ordinary soldiers. temporary study.

After all, the location of this gold mine needs to be concealed, Liu Tan didn't even tell Lu Xuan, and sending too many people over would attract attention.

These soldiers have been stationed at Yumen Pass all year round. Regardless of whether they have killed the enemy or not, in Liu Tan's view, they have contributed to the big man, so Liu Tan does not want to treat these people badly even if he cuts his own food and clothing expenses.

As a result, Li Guangli turned around and treated these soldiers like this.

Liu Tan was furious, but still had some doubts: "How do you know this? How did he die?"

Huo Guang may not know about these things, because Liu Tan never stopped the correspondence from the beginning in order to reassure Huo Guang. If Huo Guang knew, he would have told him from the beginning.

Jiang Chong said in a low voice: "I didn't know at first, but later on someone was killed and Li Guangli couldn't hide it. In addition, I have an insider, so I came to the door."

After Liu Tan heard this, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart: "Have people died? How did they die? They clashed with the miners?"

This is the only possibility that Liu Tan can think of. After all, people are forced to go mining day and night. They can resist at first, but after a long time, the gods can't bear it. People are forced to the extreme, and they will die of exhaustion. Sometimes it must explode in order to survive.

It's just...Li Guangli's subordinates don't have any good fighters, and those soldiers gathered...even Li Guangli can't handle it, right?

Jiang Chong said: "No, it was a hole that collapsed due to improper mining methods. There were at least [-] miners in it at the time, and they were all buried."

Liu Tan got up suddenly when he heard this: "What did you say? The mining method is wrong? What about the craftsmen sent by the emperor? They didn't find out?"

Jiang Chong said: "Of course they found it, but...they could only report it, but Li Guangli didn't take it to heart, and still let the miners mine, and even forced the miners to speed up mining because there was a problem with the hole and they would soon be unable to mine. , During this process, several people were already exhausted to death, but Li Guangli hid them all... Your Highness... Your Highness...?"

Jiang Chong was panicked as he spoke, His Royal Highness's expression... seemed to be eating people.
