Chapter Eighty-Eight: The King Calls Me to Come and Patrol the Mountains at Night
Unable to sleep, Wang Jingxing sat up, matched the information he had collected today with what he had before, and sorted out his thoughts.
It was an iron mine that had been discovered at least two years ago, and more than 100 absentees were made up of almost all cell inmates. The prisoners in the cell, without the participation of a few county guards, could not be transferred quietly.
Yu County Shou of Yuyang County is really calculating, among the people, he is a good official who has removed a tyrant for the people, and has won the support of the people. In terms of the huge benefits of iron ore, he also found a suitable group of laborers for the mining of deposits, and he did not have to bother to take care of it himself. Kill one stone with one stone, and the means are really amazing.
The more sanctimonious it is, the dirtier it is.
When iron ore is mined, there must be a market, and are these sales and transportation related to Lanfu? Are the heavy items that Lanfu secretly sells warehouses and steals beams and pillars to smuggle and smuggle in fine iron, or are they made of iron? What exactly is being transported here?
Transporting all the way to the north, passing through checkpoints layer by layer, how many counties along the road have to be implicated, don't they know?
Escort all the way, the Huashan faction searched hard, and Wen Yuan, who wanted to be punished, had nothing to do with the Lan Mansion, and had lived in the west and east for a long time, although there was no evidence, but Jing Xing was definitely inseparable from this chain of interests, and there was also the extraordinary bull around Mrs. Lan. There is even the participation of martial arts here.
The place discovered today is just an inconspicuous place that is too lazy to manage carefully, so how many more huge deposits are there?
With so many treasures, so many involvements, and such careful arrangements, it is not the little minions in the counties of Sichuan and Shu who can control it, which force is behind the imperial court, does grandpa know? Does the emperor know? I don't know if these have anything to do with those who are openly and secretly fighting for the throne.
Grandpa wrote to him to stop the investigation, and Grandpa must have known about it. How much does Grandpa know and what is he afraid of?
The woman on the bed giggled twice in her dream, pulling Wang Jingxing back to reality. Wang Jinghua smiled softly, tucked the quilt for her, and in an instant, sadness climbed up to her face again. In the past few years, Xia Baisong has been the temporary deputy county guard, and there is such a big loophole in Shuzhong, does he not know about it or does he not report it?
"Zhuyi, I know you won't betray me, and I hope your Xia family won't betray either. ”
Outside the door, the sound of Wu'an landing sounded, and Wang Jingxing walked out quickly.
"My lord, I didn't find a dark river or a cave. But in the pit to the north, I found their warehouse, and there were six people guarding it, looking at their breath, they were all practitioners, and I didn't dare to take it rashly. ”
The second boss said that he never approached, and every time it was the big boss's goods that he would pass by......
"In addition, I saw that the sixth overseer went to the house of the second master, and the lights were always on in the house, and I don't know if the situation has changed. ”
The man who still had some brains, if he really found out what their purpose was, might really cause an incident, and without further ado, he decided to go to the pit at night again.
"Wu An, you and Zhuyi are waiting here, and I will go in person, limited to half an hour. As he spoke, he glanced into the room, "Be vigilant, don't be careless." ”
"Yes. ”
In late autumn, the moon was high in the sky and very cold and quiet, a few dozing soldiers patrolled back and forth between the various sheds and houses, and Jing Xing performed light skills to leap over the ravines. Preliminary estimates also estimate that there are also 100,000 tons of ore produced here.
All the way north to the warehouse. Jing Xing's light skills were excellent, and he sneaked in quietly. The warehouse is full of unrefined ore, Jing Xing chuckled, does this broken stone still need to repair a warehouse?! After taking a few steps forward and turning two corners, there was a faint light, but I didn't expect that there were two people guarding it.
It turned out that the warehouse was to hide people's eyes, and the two of them guarded a wall and couldn't see any secrets.
These ores will be sent to the next secret base for refining. The iron ore is extremely heavy and difficult to transport, so Jingxing judged that in order to save trouble and convenience, the arrangement of the warehouse must be at the starting point of the transportation route. Therefore, there must be a hole in this warehouse that leads to the next base, and the place where the official house is guarded. Looking at the flickering firelight, Jing Xing secretly noted down the location.
Thatched hut here. Wu An paced back and forth and felt very uneasy, the master went to the night to investigate, and the slave hid on the side, blaming himself for not being able enough, there was danger everywhere, if the master had a good one, he would not be able to relieve the guilt in his heart if he died ten thousand times.
Although the person in the room is also important, it is far less important than the master, not to mention, they have a good conversation tonight, and there should be no danger in half an hour.
Thinking of this, Wu An took the breath to track down the master.
In the cabin, the sixth supervisor had long been suspicious, although he didn't know a few words, but he still recognized a few, and when he saw that Jing Xing personally opened the letter of introduction, there was no actual content, so he knew that he was fooling, but the village tyrant also tried his best to defend himself, saying that Boss Yan must have known that I was illiterate, so he asked Brother Jing Xing to relay it to me.
The sixth supervisor tried his best to persuade and enlighten the eldest brother from all aspects, but the eldest brother did not want his dream to be shattered, and the two brothers quarreled. Finally, give way to each one.
Sixth Supervisor: "Big brother, if you don't put a few people under house arrest first, and wait for the big brother to come back before making a decision, we must be cautious about the lives of hundreds of people on the construction site." ”
"If they're sincere, won't I lose this opportunity?"
"If it's true, the eldest brother will put the responsibility on my head, and I will take it with all my might. ”
"Second brother, my second brother," the eldest brother was so moved, "just do as you say, you have to be kind and good, don't hurt them!"
"Okay, big brother, I have already sent people to stun them with smoke, they don't know it, they won't fight. ”
Jing Xing did not dare to act rashly, came out of the warehouse at any time, and continued to investigate along the perimeter of the pit, the soil here turned out to be a limestone structure, just like the one Zhu Yi said in the cave that day, it was really peculiar, I didn't expect that such a soil structure could also give birth to a wealth of special minerals.
While observing, Jing Xing planned in his heart that in such a complicated situation, he would send a few henchmen to lurk in to collect information. At the moment, hurry up with Wu'an and Zhuyi to evacuate this place of right and wrong, without further ado, get up and want to go back,
A person suddenly flew behind him, Wang Jinghua's conditioned reflex was a palm, and the person behind him flashed away.
"My lord, it's me. ”
Wang Jingxing hurriedly withdrew his hand, frowned and asked, "Why are you here, Zhuyi?
"Nothing happened! Miss Xia is still asleep....... subordinates are worried about you, so they came to find you. ”
"Presumptuous, one or two of you don't take my orders to heart now, I don't think you need to follow me, go, go back!"
The two of them were about to perform light work, when suddenly, there was a commotion from the south, followed by a fire, and the noise became louder and louder.
Jing Xing's heart tightened, "Oops, something happened!"
