Chapter 1575: Please Call Me Mr. An (37)
Fairy Mountain!
Where the iron mine is!
Yuan Tingshi narrowed his eyes to hide a trace of chill in his eyes.
What does this woman mean when she mentions Immortal Mountain?
Did she also find out that there was iron ore there?
Or was she aware of her own movements?
All kinds of speculations instantly popped up in Yuan Tingshi's mind, and his face became more and more cold.
Seeing him like this, Anne had no doubt that this man had murderous intentions towards her.
Anne wasn't afraid, though.
To be honest, the person who should be afraid at this moment is Yuan Tingshi.
At that time, the family was indeed powerful, but on the surface, it still had to abide by the laws of the imperial court.
And the imperial court had a clear decree that private mining was strictly prohibited.
Among several mineral deposits, iron ore is even more forbidden.
Iron can make weapons, and weapons mean disobedience.
The emperor of this dynasty has long looked at the family unpleasantly, and the first emperor spent more than ten years formulating and implementing the imperial examination system, in order to break the family's monopoly on power, divide and weaken the family.
After the current emperor succeeded to the throne, he adhered to the legacy of the previous emperor, vigorously promoted the imperial examination, revised the clan chronicles, and continued to weaken the family.
Two generations of emperors have worked hard for thirty or forty years, and although the family is not stiff when the hundred-legged insects die, it has also lost its prosperity of the year.
Even so, the emperor did not let down his guard against the family.
There is no reason for the emperor to create a reason to clean up the family, if at this time, someone breaks out, the gate valve Yuan family actually connived at the children of the clan to dig iron ore in the southwest without permission, wouldn't this be handed over to the emperor.
A charge of "bad intentions" and "premeditated rebellion", even if it can't shake the foundation of the entire family class, it is enough to make a little Yuan fall into hell.
"You, you-" Yuan Tingshi was shocked, he wasn't sure if "An Niting" really knew, or if he was deliberately deceiving him.
"Hehe, Yuan Tingshi, don't underestimate a woman, let alone a woman who has read a book and dares to go to the wilderness of the southwest alone!"
Anne curled the corners of her lips slightly, "What you can find, others can find out." ”
"You even found out about Chunfeng Tower, you should have checked my situation. Haven't you heard that I have helped many villagers find their way to prosperity according to the times?"
Yuan stabbed Shi Leng for a moment, and he heard the point of Anne's words.
Especially the "adaptation to local conditions" made his heart tremble.
Could it be that "An Niting" can really discover mineral deposits?
Almost at the same time, Yuan Tingshi suddenly remembered the woman in front of him, the reason why she was able to gain a firm foothold in the southwest Zhuzhai was because of the success of the first battle.
Well salt, that is, salt buried in the rocks, under the ground.
In a sense, this should be similar to a mineral deposit - across the surface, but you can infer what is underground based on certain vegetation and features.
"In order to help more villages, in the past few years, I have traveled almost all over the deep mountains of the southwest. ”
Anne looked at Yuan Tingshi's eyes and said with some amusement, "When I passed by Immortal Mountain, I found something interesting. ”
Yuan Tingshi's breathing was a little short, he glanced at the commander of the government soldiers who was standing aside and watching the excitement, and said something bad in his heart, lest Anne directly say the existence of the iron ore.
He hurriedly interrupted Anne and asked urgently, "What Immortal Mountain, I don't know what you're talking about." I'll just ask you, what exactly are your intentions?"
He couldn't let outsiders know what was hidden in the Immortal Mountain.
Even if it is detected, it can't be used to catch the evidence that the Yuan family has something to do with Immortal Mountain!
"Wanhu Town, you can't burn it! let me in, I will find a way to curb the epidemic and cure those villagers!"
Anne did not continue to dwell on the topic of Immortal Mountain.
She deliberately mentioned this incident in order to blackmail Yuan Assassin Shi.
If everything is said to be clear, Yuan Tingshi is in a hurry, and another dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, then Anne will lose more than she gains.
Yuan stabbed Sken to give in, and Anne would shut up.
"Y-You want to go in?"
Yuan Tingshi was a little stunned, looking at Anne's gaze, it was more like looking at a fool.
It's an epidemic area, does this woman understand?
The people inside wanted to run out, but she returned it, and did the opposite, and actually wanted to take the initiative to go in.
Yuan Tingshi didn't know that there was a word in the market that made people feel awe-retrograde, he just didn't understand what Anne did.
"That's right, it's not just me, but also these students of mine, we're all going to enter Wanhu Town. ”
Anne gestured to the men behind her and replied in a deep voice.
Yuan Tingshi's eyes swept over dozens of young men and women, the oldest of whom was only in his early twenties, and they were all teenagers.
Are they too young to understand the horrors of the plague?
Or are they really not afraid of death, knowing that there are many dangers inside, but they still want to go in?!
"Do you know that...... They are still young...... How can it be ......"
Xu was too surprised, Yuan Tingshi's mood was a little chaotic, and what he said was also reversed.
"I know, and they know, that Wanhu Town is an epidemic area, and it is very dangerous inside. ”
Anne said seriously, "But there are still tens of thousands of people in it, they can't wait for death like this, I am a gentleman and a doctor, I have to find a way to save them!"
Anne's words were not loud, but they were loud.
When the leaders and villagers on the other side of the barricade heard this, they were moved and wept bitterly.
Sir, Mr. An, she is indeed their salt lady, a living immortal sent by God to redeem their mountain people.
Some of the villagers were so moved that they couldn't help themselves, and they fell to their knees, kowtowing desperately to Anne, "Sir, sir......"
Anne's eyes were a little sour, she sniffed, held back her tears, and said to Yuan Tingshi, "I just want to be a gentleman, and the affairs of the court and the famous Yuan family have nothing to do with me." ”
Anne made her stand that although she got the handle of Yuan Tingshi, she would not take advantage of it to make a living.
Of course, if Yuan Tingshi doesn't cooperate, then don't blame her for being nosy.
Yuan Tingshi was a smart person, so he naturally heard the meaning of Annie's words.
But he was still a little embarrassed, "The plague is unusual, if this kind of thing is not controlled well, the entire southwest-"
He didn't dare to gamble, even if he was hit by the woman in front of him, he didn't dare to gamble easily.
Wanhu Town must be "resolved", and even if it is delayed, there must be a deadline.
Anne also understood the deep meaning of Yuan Tingshi's words, she raised a finger, "One month! Yuan Tingshi, please give me a month, if by then, I can't control the epidemic and cure the disease, then you will just set the fire!"
Yuan Tingshi looked at Anne fixedly, "Even if you are inside?"
Anne didn't dodge or dodge, looking back at the other party, "That's right!"
This woman is really not afraid of death. To put it mildly, it's like looking for your own death!
Yuan Tingshi couldn't say what he felt, and looked at Annie for a long time, then raised his hand, "Open the barricade and let them in!"
The guards said yes and moved the wooden fence to open a gap.
Anne and dozens of students resolutely passed through the gap.
Looking at the woman's thin back, Yuan Tingshi didn't have the slightest discrimination and contempt, but a little inexplicable admiration......
