Letting Li Guo lead the way, Qin Hao planned to go to the place where the bandits lived. He no longer had to worry about food and had time to do other things.

After passing the three rooms in the front hall, you can see a spacious school field. Li Guo explained that this is a place where bandits often train. Behind the school field is where the bandits live.

Looking around, there are hundreds of wooden houses, large and small. The outer ones look like the wooden and mud houses in the village down the mountain. They are dilapidated and dilapidated. The further you go towards the middle, the better the specifications become.

The middle one looked particularly luxurious. Qin Hao discovered a corridor supported by wooden pillars. There was a courtyard between the corridors on both sides. There were several small ponds and several strange-shaped rockeries inside, which was as peaceful as a Suzhou garden.

Qin Hao was a little surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect that the bandit was so artistic.

Walking into this picturesque bandit garden, I saw the remaining Nord guards moving an iron box from the inside to the outside non-stop. It looked quite heavy.

Qin Hao smiled at them, but several guards looked surprised and touched the iron helmets on their heads in embarrassment.

Although they felt like they were getting closer to Qin Hao, the work was still the same without any sloppiness, which made him feel relieved.

When he opened the box and took a look, Qin Hao took a breath and wondered why there were so many gold nuggets.

He raised his head and glanced at Li Guo who was following him, and saw that he was also shocked when he saw the contents of the box. It wasn't like he was pretending. He thought he didn't know the secret here, so he said coldly: "This is The matter must not be spread outside, otherwise I don’t need to tell you the consequences.”

"yes"

Li Guo was also smart and knew that this was not a trivial matter. Seeing Qin Hao's eyes slowly turning cold, he trembled unconsciously in his heart and secretly hated himself for following him like this.

Suddenly, Li Guo seemed to have remembered something. He cautiously walked up to Qin Hao and whispered what he had just remembered: "Master, I remember that there used to be a few mining craftsmen on the mountain, but they were later dismissed by the old village master. I'm going to farm, why don't I ask them?"

"What"

Qin Hao was secretly surprised. He thought that the box of gold was robbed by bandits, but he didn't expect that there were miners on the mountain. In this case, there might be a small gold mine on the mountain.

Although gold is not worth mentioning to him now, it will definitely be a great weapon when it comes to foreign trade. If there is a small gold mine that can continuously produce gold, it will have huge energy for early development.

So Qin Hao told Li Guo: "Take the leader and come over first to ask. Remember not to alert the enemy."

Watching Li Guo go away, Qin Hao couldn't wait to pick up a piece of gold and inspect it. It seemed that the box had been sealed for a long time, and the surface of the gold was covered with dust.

The color is also wrong, very dull, and there are a few black spots on the surface. It is completely different from the golden jewelry I saw in Lao Fengxiang before. It is probably because it was not purified during forging.

The Nord guards took out several more iron boxes from the house one after another, and Qin Hao opened them one by one. They were all filled with large pieces of unrefined nugget gold.

The quantity is also small, there are definitely more than a hundred or ten kilograms. There is no way that bandits can get these by robbing houses, and their predictions about the copycat gold mine are even more certain.

After a while, all the iron boxes had been moved out. Qin Hao counted them carefully. There were 9 big boxes in total, all of which were filled with gold. There were also 3 smaller wooden boxes left with some pearls and jade in them. Jewelry and a small number of broken silver and copper coins.

Just when Qin Hao picked up the copper coins and wanted to see the year number, a "plop" sound suddenly came from the small pond in the corridor.

Someone fell into the water!

Qin Hao hurriedly led Shuntian Death Soldier towards the pond. As soon as he arrived, he saw several young women sitting on the ground looking at the pond crying.

Seeing so many people coming, even the corridor was packed, which frightened them. They all hugged each other and cried louder.

Looking at the struggling figure in the middle of the pond, Qin Hao knew that one of them was committing suicide.

Without wasting any time, he took off his armor and faceplate, jumped into the pond, and swam towards the woman.

Seeing how dedicated this Shuntian warrior was, Qin Hao immediately praised in his heart: This newly summoned Shuntian warrior is really awesome. He even learned swimming skills, which makes him a landlubber who lives in the south. People shed tears.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Since someone went to save the woman who fell into the water, Qin Hao was not in a hurry and looked at the remaining women up and down.

Seeing that their clothes were neat and tidy, they were not too old, they were all around twenty years old, and their faces were pretty good, so I knew they were either the family members of bandits or they had been kidnapped.

As expected, one of the women in green seemed to be the backbone of the group. When she saw that Qin Hao did not look like a vicious person, she took courage and said, "Sir, we are good families at the foot of the mountain." Son, unfortunately the bandits were robbed here."

After speaking, he glanced at Qin Hao and saw that he had no contempt for him, so he continued to describe: "The diving woman is a young lady from a wealthy family down the mountain. She is also good-looking, but it is a pity that she was ruined by bandits.

Yesterday, I heard that officers and soldiers were coming, and I had the idea of ​​​​committing suicide. We tried to persuade them for a long time to no avail, so we came here to dive today. "

After listening to what the woman in green said, Qin Hao also knew that they were poor women, his head started to hurt, and he didn't know how to deal with them for a while.

Since the beginning of Neo-Confucianism by Zhu Xi in the Southern Song Dynasty, people have attached great importance to women's chastity. Starving to death is a small matter, but being unchaste is a big matter. This sentence has been deeply ingrained in their bones.

These women were able to survive in the village, but now that they were rescued by themselves and brought down the mountain, their fate was really unpredictable.

It happened that Shuntian Death Soldier rescued the woman in time. The woman only choked on a few mouthfuls of water and was not seriously injured.

Seeing their helpless appearance, Qin Hao felt a little unbearable.

Let them go down the mountain, they will die; just stay with them, Qin Hao himself is not married yet, what are you talking about!

Damn bandits left a fortune to make people happy and a mess to clean up.

Qin Hao planned to put this matter aside for now and ask Li Guo, a good person, before dealing with it later. He said to the woman in green: "You take her back first and settle her down well. Don't let her do this again." Lift.

The same goes for you guys. How many people are you now? How many people will you be when I come later? "

For fear that they would not listen, Qin Hao roared at them: "Your life is mine. If I don't allow you to die, you can't die. Do you hear me?"

"ah"

How did several Ming Dynasty women know this routine? They exclaimed and started to tremble slightly.

The woman in green still understood the general idea, responded, and walked towards the inner courtyard with the crying people.

Qin Hao recruited a dead man from Shuntian to watch over these women to prevent them from doing anything inappropriate again.
