Chapter 189: The Tragic Situation of Wu County

The mineral resources of Northern Qin are not abundant, all minerals are classified into the royal property, and are jointly managed by the Department of Household and the Department of Salt and Iron, if there is no emperor's will, no one is allowed to mine minerals privately.

Wu County is indeed a poor and remote place, the land is barren, the peasants are not able to grow land, many villagers have left one after another, only the older generation, and some people who do not want to leave their hometowns still insist on staying in their hometowns.

They firmly believe that as long as they work hard, God will definitely see their efforts and will definitely pay off.

However, not everything will be rewarded if there is a pay, even if the villagers are greedy every day, but the land still can't grow good food, until one day, the county order of Wu County brought a group of officials, saying that they came here to open a mine by the emperor's order.

Only then did everyone realize that it was not the land that was barren, but that there were mines underground, so crops were not easy to grow.

Yuanyi County is rich in minerals, a county can almost be worth a city, and the people are so rich that they are full of oil.

The people of Wu County thought that their good days were finally over, but they were accused of trying to embezzle royal property, and in order to atone for their sins, they took Songyang Village as the center, and the men under 60 and 12 in the surrounding villages were arrested as volunteers.

The center of the mine is in Songyang Village, and in three months, the volunteers finally dug out the mine under the whipping, but in these three months, they lived a life that was not as good as pigs and dogs.

Three meals a day are clear soup and little water, and they can only rest for two hours a day, and the work day and night finally makes some people want to fight back.

But they are just reckless men with brute force, how can they be better than the officials with weapons. Soon, the rebellious peasants were arrested, more than a dozen people. He was beheaded at the head of Songyang Village.

The official's trick made an example of the monkey, so that those who were restless would no longer dare to make a mistake, and everyone could only endure it silently.

Not only that, Wu County has since become a closed county, outsiders can't get in, and people inside can't get out. Not to mention reporting to the authorities.

The real accident happened a month ago, the farmers didn't know how to mine, and the mines were not stable. Finally, it collapsed overnight, and more than 100 people in the cave were buried alive inside.

Huang Wei's face was full of painful recollections: "This is the day that I will not die, that night." The villain is just out of courtesy. It's not in the cave, but you can go out and come back, and that's what it sees, everyone is buried in the ground.

Those wolf-hearted things don't even want to save people, but they want to let us living people move those mines.

The villain was angry, so he punched the leader, and after being caught, he thought he was going to die. Fortunately, Sister Luo saved her life. ”

Luo wiped his tears and cried silently: "I heard that something happened in the mine, so I went to find his father." I happened to see Brother Huang in a cage, so I quietly let him go.

But Brother Huang said his father was goneβ€”"

She couldn't cry silently, which made Xiao Wu cry too.

Ling Yi took Xiao Wu's hand and slapped and comforted him like Lan comforting himself.

Xiao Wu soothed and said: "My father is the village chief, I am the son of the village chief, my father said that if he is not there one day, Songyang Village will be under my control, so I want to go to see the emperor, I want to sue the emperor, everyone in our village is dead, and my father will not be blind when he dies." ”

Ling Yi didn't know what to say, so she could only gently pat his hand to show comfort.

Huang Wei calmed down a little, and continued: "Sister Luo saved me, I thought that we would definitely not survive the dawn, so I took Xiao Wu and Sister Luo to prepare to escape from the village.

Later, I was discovered, and I thought that this time I must be dead, but the benefactor appeared, saved us, and gave us a coil, and asked Mr. to write a complaint to us, and let us go to Beijing to complain.

The many waves of people who killed us along the way were all saved by our benefactors. The kindness of the benefactor to the villain, the villain will never forget it in his life. ”

The tears of the weaving fan were loud when he heard it, firstly to sympathize with the plight of the three people, and secondly, to move Gong Sheng's work.

Ori Yu couldn't help but redden, and quietly wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

After saying that, the food was already cold, Ling Yi asked Xiao Er to heat up the food, beckoned the three of them to finish eating, and finally said: "The person who rescued you arranged you here, but I'm afraid it's not safe here."

If you don't dislike it, you can go to a place with me, safe and comfortable, and I will find a way to make you face the saint, if there is any grievance, when the time comes, I will say in front of the emperor that he will definitely make decisions for Wu County. ”

Luo was shocked: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, do they still dare to mess around?" ”

Ling Yi sneered: "It is precisely because it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven that there are more small movements, you are underestimating this capital too much." Survive the night, and I'll arrange for someone to pick you up. ”

Huang Wei thanked him again: "Thank you benefactor, please convey our gratitude to another benefactor for us, and we will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and we will definitely repay the kindness of the two benefactors." ”

Ling Yi asked Zhi Yu to pack up his things, and he got up and said, "You don't have to thank you, I also have my own purpose in doing this, to help you and myself." ”

The three of them left the Fuyuan Inn, and Ling Yi asked the coachman to drive back to Ling's Mansion directly.

"Didn't the eldest lady say she wanted to help them? Do you want to connect them to the Ling Mansion? Weaving Fan asked.

Ling Yi shook his head: "Ling Mansion is not good, Ling Mansion is too attractive, I have a hunch, these few nights, I am afraid that those people will do it, and it is a big matter to open a mine privately, and they will definitely be ruthless to kill them."

Tonight, together with the road guards, in the name of Luoxia Garden, you quietly took the three of them to Luoxia Garden. ”

Weaving fans leads the way.

It was night, in the hall, Gong Xiru was dressed in a pitch-black suit, her hair stood up high, her feet were on cloud boots, she was holding a long sword, and her body was full of a chilling cold.

Gong Sheng finally persuaded: "Master Hou, do you really want to go?" What kind of person are you to do such a thing, and the small one does it for you, why do you do it yourself? ”

Gong Xiru covered his face with a black scarf, looking like a night killer.

"She's still suspicious of me, and if I don't do it, I'm bound to wary those old things."

"However, those three people were escorted into Beijing so easily, and if we really let those people be killed, wouldn't it be in vain." Gong Sheng was worried.

Gong Xiru was not worried at all, but said lightly: "I believe her." ”

Gong Sheng frowned slightly, "The four old men beside Princess Haining have been staring at us all day long, and the little one can't send a letter to Miss Ling, but Master Hou bets everything on Miss Ling being able to guess our actions, which is too risky." ”

After thinking about it, he said, "It's better to let Wuyin deliver a message." ”

"No, Shadowless's kung fu is not much different from those four, and he will be discovered." Gong Xiru pinned the long sword to his waist, and when he heard the sound of drums outside, it was already past midnight.

"Pay attention to the movement over there in Bihetang." Before leaving, Gong Xiru instructed Gong Sheng.

Gong Sheng couldn't stop him, he paced back and forth in the house urgently, and he had to send arrows on the string, if he didn't see the three people at the Fuyuan Inn, it would be good, but if Ling Yi didn't know about it, and didn't want to interfere, the three of them were still in the inn at this time, then they would definitely die.

Although Gong Xiru said that he went to kill Huang Wei and the others at the request of Princess Haining, he did not bring his own people, and there was an old man with him, as well as more than a dozen Ningguo warriors.

"It's just three people who have no power to tie the chicken, why bother so much." Gong Xiru couldn't help but sneer.

The old man didn't trust him, and sneered: "Master Hou should complete the task assigned by the princess first."

Although killing those three people is as simple as pinching three ants to death for the old man, this matter is very important, and those three people must not live past tomorrow, so please don't underestimate this matter. ”

"This can only be said that you are not doing well, if you really try your best, how can the three of you come all the way to the capital." Gong Xiru clearly reproached.

The old man's tone froze, and after a while, he flicked his sleeves and said: "My Ningguo warrior is not incompetent, if someone hadn't stopped him on the way, how could the three of them have survived until now." ”

Gong Xiru glanced at him disdainfully, and jumped onto the roof of the Fuyuan Inn.

The rest of the people also jumped up, and I have to say that in order to kill these three people, Princess Haining was ruthless.

Coming to the top of the room where Huang Wei and the three of them lived, Gong Xiru took the lead in uncovering a tile and looking through the gap. The room was pitch black, and he didn't know who was there, so he unconsciously clenched the long sword in his hand.

The old man gestured, and asked the people behind him to follow him into the inn through the back door, and then went straight to Huang Wei and Luo's room, and Gong Xiru arrived immediately.

The people were divided into two groups, one left and one right, and the targets were the rooms of Huang Wei, Luo and Xiao Wu.

Someone used a knife to pry open the deadbolt of the house, and as soon as the door opened, the two teams held their breath and rushed into the house with weapons in hand.

These are professional killers, with a clear goal, going straight to the head of the bed, and the big knife with a cold light slashed indiscriminately on the bed, I thought that the person under the quilt would be cut into several pieces, but I didn't expect a knife to be cut down, but it was empty.

The quilt was lifted, and no one slept on the bed.

"My lord, no one."

At this moment, a group of people next door also poured into the house, saying, "There is no one in the house." ”

The old man made a silent gesture and ordered everyone to hold their breath, and then their minds froze, feeling if there were any other living creatures in the room.

Suddenly, his eyes were cold, and he pointed in the direction of the cabinet, and everyone understood, formed a semicircle, and approached the cabinet step by step.

Gong Xiru walked in front, came to the cabinet, quietly held the handle, and suddenly pulled the cabinet hard, and in an instant, there were candles lit up everywhere in the room.

The sudden bright light made everyone startled.

One person in the cabinet was tied up with five flowers, and his mouth was covered with a ball of cloth, so he could only shake his head and hum.

Gong Xiru's long sword stabbed violently, and he was about to stab the person in the cabinet.

The old man suddenly shouted "Slowly", and as soon as the words fell, he heard a rush of footsteps downstairs, and someone shouting "Adult".

Gong Xiru stopped the sword momentum in time, and looked at it with a look of doubt in his eyes.

Not only him, but also the people behind him looked at each other. (To be continued......)
