Chapter 120 Source

Unexpectedly, he met Xing Baotou on the road and rushed to the county government. Seeing this, Zhang Chen quickly pulled Xing Baotou and said:

"Uncle Xing, why are you so anxious?"

When Xing Baotou was pulled by Zhang Chen, he realized that it was Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang. After hearing Zhang Chen's inquiry, he spoke:

"It's nothing serious. I just came back from outside the town and just wanted to report to Lou Zhi County that the river water has returned to normal."

Bai Zhantang said doubtfully after hearing this:

"This is a good thing. Why are you in such a hurry?"

After hearing this, Mr. Xing looked around and then whispered quietly:

"It's not just this. You know about the Cuiwei Mountain landslide, right? But you definitely don't know that there is a stolen tomb at the place where Cuiwei Mountain collapsed."

Xing Captou's words made the two of them look obviously surprised. Bai Zhantang returned to Cuiwei Mountain by accident and this happened, while Zhang Chen was surprised that the tomb should not have been discovered so early.

Before the two of them asked Mr. Xing, he quickly ran to the county government office and said:

"Let's not talk about it for now. I'm still busy reporting to Lou Zhixian."

Looking at Xing Baotou's retreating figure, Bai Zhantang sighed:

"Lao Xing is really good at this. His pace is obviously much better than before."

Zhang Chen smiled awkwardly when he heard this. Others didn't know whether he knew it or not. The reason why Capt.

After the injury healed, Xing Captou thought that he was injured because he was not fast enough. In order to prevent himself from getting injured next time, he learned from the experience and decided to improve in this area.

Of course Zhang Chen supported this decision, and even specially found an easy-to-begin Qing Gong book for Xing Baotou to learn. However, he did not expect that Xing Baotou was not very talented in sword skills, and he could say that he would make rapid progress in learning Qing Gong.

But this reason really made Zhang Chen speechless, so he could only smile awkwardly. Bai Zhantang didn't mean to go into details, he just sighed at the speed of Xing Baotou's growth.

After the figure of Mr. Xing completely disappeared, Zhang Chen looked at the sunshine in the sky, turned to Bai Zhantang and said:

"Brother Bai, let's go to Cuiwei Mountain first. Uncle Xing has already told us everything we want to know."

Then the two of them used Qinggong and hurried towards Cuiwei Mountain.

Half an hour later!

Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang came to the foot of the mountain and smelled a stronger smell in the air.

Bai Zhantang said with certainty:

"The source should be around here, otherwise there wouldn't be such a strong smell."

Zhang Chen found a big tree, flew up and stood on the branches to observe the landslide, and found a strange pothole not far away.

Zhang Chen quickly took Bai Zhantang to the pothole over there. Bai Zhantang carefully studied the pothole and said with certainty:

"This is a robber cave! Although the heavy rain washed away the surrounding soil and covered up the traces, it can still be seen that it is a newly dug robber cave."

"It seems that there is definitely a big tomb underneath, otherwise there wouldn't be such skilled tomb robbers coming here to rob the tomb."

Bai Zhantang just looked at the tomb robbers and analyzed that he was a master tomb robber, which surprised Zhang Chen.

Bai Zhantang immediately explained:

"It's a trivial skill, nothing worth mentioning!"

But looking at Bai Zhantang's slightly raised lips, Zhang Chen knew that Bai Zhantang was still proud of this introduction. After all, there were not many opportunities to show off in front of Zhang Chen.

After Bai Zhantang finished the introduction, Zhang Chen looked at the Thief Cave and said:

"The problem may be the large tomb in the mountain. The collapse on Cuiwei may also be the result of the actions of the tomb robbers, which led to the activation of their agencies."

Yesterday's heavy rain caused all traces of the surrounding area to disappear. Now the only way is to re-enter the ancient tomb to check the situation.

The two discussed for a while but there was no good solution. If the tomb did not collapse, they could go down to the Robber's Cave to have a look. If it collapsed, they would have to use manpower to dig it out if they wanted to go down further.

The two of them had no choice but to turn around and leave. They planned to go to the county government again to tell Magistrate Lou about the matter and see what he thought.

Then the two immediately returned to Qixia Town and went to the county government office to find Lou Zhixian. The county government office, Lou Zhixian, was busy allocating manpower to repair waterways. When they heard Zhang Chen and two people waiting outside the door, they quickly asked someone to come in.

When they entered the inner office, they saw a pile of official documents in front of Magistrate Lou. Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang told Magistrate Lou about their findings in a short story.

Lou Zhixian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he led the two of them to sit at the table and said with a smile:

"You guys are really my lucky stars. I'm just worried about how to open the underground sewers. The government's support won't be here for a while."

"Our county government can only start taking action on its own. Just now I was thinking about how to allocate manpower and organize personnel to repair waterways."

"Your news gave me an idea. Let's start cleaning up the landslide in Cuiwei Mountain first. According to your guess, we can at least make the stench dissipate, otherwise no one will be able to stay in Qixia Town."

Lou Zhixian asked the county government officials and others to clear the earth and rocks in Cuiwei Mountain. After clearing the rough outline, they would notify Zhang Chen and others. Seeing that Lou Zhixian still had official duties to attend to, the two of them clasped their fists and left.

When the two returned to the inn, they happened to see Guo Furong wearing a mask and cleaning something. Zhang Chen looked at Guo Furong and asked doubtfully:

"Didn't the shopkeeper let everyone have a rest? Are you being positive?"

Guo Furong watched Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang walk into the lobby. After hearing Zhang Chen's question, she waved her hands and said:

"Of course not! You see, I seem to be such a positive person. I was sleeping well, but someone knocked on the door and woke everyone up. I had no choice but to let him in."

"Who knew he had a fishy smell and was covered in mud? Oh, by the way, it's just like that smell in the air."

Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang looked at each other in tacit understanding after hearing this, and Zhang Chen said:

"Where is that person now?"

Guo Furong pointed to the guest room upstairs and said happily:

"I'm taking a shower upstairs. Don't you know that although others are a little dirty, they are very generous?"

Guo Furong said and handed a baggage to Zhang Chen. After Zhang Chen opened the baggage, he saw that it was full of gold, silver and jewelry.

Bai Zhantang immediately came to his side and looked at the contents of the bag. After observing carefully for a moment, he said:

"These are all funerary objects! Judging from the style and specifications, they are from the Western Han Dynasty."

Guo Furong reacted at this time, pointed upstairs and whispered:

"Then he is..."

Zhang Chen looked at the gold and silver jewelry in the bag and replied casually:

"You guessed it right! It's not obvious yet, he's just a tomb robber."

"And this thief happened to be encountered by us. It's really good luck. Brother Bai, we have someone down there."

When Bai Zhantang heard this, he nodded with a smile. It really took no effort at all. Just now he was worried about how to go down to check the situation, but they just brought it to his door.

Seeing the two of them playing dumb, Guo Furong looked at Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang with disgust and said:

"Hey! You two laugh so disgustingly!"

Then she looked at the gold and silver jewelry in the bag with a pity. After all, there was a lot of money in it, but it was dug out from a tomb, which made Guo Furong feel a little disgusted.

Thanks for the support!
