Chapter 978: Vein Collapse
Although Zhou Xinmiao was quite tempted by Xiangmeng's mention, she also had her own concerns. That Mo Li is a person from the outside, and he is arrogant, I'm afraid it is not so easy to subdue. Moreover, a person who has learned the Tao is dressed in red from head to toe, and he also wears a mask carved in red gold on his face, which is really difficult for people to reassure her.
Zhou Xinmiao is a woman, she has a strong sixth sense, she always feels that yesterday, this Mo Li is not simple, even she has not found it, she seems to be faintly defensive against the Dao aunt named Mo Li.
Before Zhou Xinmiao could think about this matter clearly, another big incident happened in the Dadar Department.
Xiangmeng hurriedly walked into the tent and said, "Princess, something is wrong, the hundred households of Saibach have just sent someone to report that the ore vein has collapsed." ”
"What!" Zhou Xinmiao stood up from behind the bookcase violently.
Vein collapse!!
This matter can be big or small, not to mention hurting people's lives, the key is how much she has to lose at this juncture!
"What the hell is going on?" Zhou Xinmiao's face was cold, and it could be seen that she was in a rage at this time.
Xiangmeng hurriedly said: "The people sent by the hundred households of Saibach are outside the tent, if the princess wants to ask carefully, it is better to call someone in." ”
"You go."
Xiangmeng hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Yes, the slave maid will go now." ”
Zhou Xinmiao was so anxious that she walked around behind the case, and the fire in her heart was about to burn.
Okay, why did it collapse?
Now is the time when there is an urgent need for a large amount of iron ore, and the reason why she will order people to mine it day and night is that she hopes to transport these ores as soon as possible, smelt them, and make them into weapons, so that they can be of great use.
The discovery of this iron ore was a matter of unfortunate luck, but unfortunately the vein was not large. And the excavation was very unexpected, and encountered a lot of obstacles. Dadar, the whole Vana steppe. Not many people are familiar with exploration and mining veins, and many people don't understand the process.
It was that person who sent a spy under his hand, and he worked hard to find talents in this area from Dayong, and the iron ore mining was implemented little by little, and it slowly became a scale.
If he knew that something had happened to the iron mine, then what would he do?
Iron ore is related to his big plans. I'm afraid that if he knows. I can't please myself.
Zhou Xinmiao bit her lower lip so hard that her lip was almost dripping blood.
Now she is most concerned about the loss of the iron mine, and it doesn't hurt to die a few times. It's those few capable people who can mine veins, and they must not have anything to do.
At this moment, the felt curtain was lifted, and Xiangmeng brought back two people.
One of them was dressed in armor, and he was the personal soldier sent by Saibach to deliver the letter, and the other was Zhou Xinmiao's special translator.
"Princess. People brought. Xiangmeng bowed slightly, and then took two steps back.
The personal soldier sent by Saibach clenched his fist in front of his chest with one hand and bowed his head to Zhou Xinmiao.
Zhou Xinmiao made a gesture of disrespect, and then said to the translator: "You ask him, what is going on, and the loss is not big." ”
The translator is a Vana man. However, his mother is a native of Dayong. So he speaks both Chinese, but he comes from a humble background. In the past, he was almost a slave in Dadar, but later because Zhou Xinmiao came and there was a shortage of people like him who were proficient in the two Chinese, he was reused.
This person is also knowledgeable, very loyal to Zhou Xinmiao, and feels that Zhou Xinmiao has the grace of knowing him.
He nodded slightly at Zhou Xinmiao, and then translated Zhou Xinmiao's words to the pro-soldier.
The soldier muttered for a long time.
The interpreter hurriedly replied: "Returning to the princess, this soldier said that at that time, they only heard a few loud bangs, and then a large white smoke rose from the mineral vein, and then they smelled a pungent smell. There are no people in the place where the vein collapsed, there is a distance from the place where the workers are working, and the casualties are not clear for the time being, but it should not be too big, but the tunnel of the vein is blocked, and the excavation is temporarily trapped. ”
Zhou Xinmiao let go of her heart, no matter what, the situation is not too bad.
"Sue him, let people quickly remove those gravel and mine, and there can be no delay."
The interpreter turned and told the soldier again.
The man nodded.
"You sue him again, let Hebach investigate this matter, and you must find out about the iron mine collapse. In addition, additional personnel will be sent to inspect the situation, and those who have a heart must not be allowed to take advantage of the loopholes. ”
The interpreter relayed it to the soldier.
The queen hurriedly said that she had written it down.
Zhou Xinmiao waved his hand, and the man saluted and retreated.
Zhou Xinmiao sat tiredly in the roll chair behind the bookcase.
Xiangmeng looked at it, and asked the translator to retreat.
It was eventful.
Zhou Xinmiao rubbed her forehead, and suddenly remembered something in a trance.
She asked Xiangmeng, "Do you remember what Mo Li said when he left that day?" "Before, I obviously called people Daogu, but in a blink of an eye, I changed to a more respectable Taoist, and the change here is really thought-provoking.
Xiangmeng nodded, "The slave remembers that she said that the princess's wealth was damaged and her reputation was stained, and she also gave you a sachet saying that it could solve your calamity...... "Speaking of which, what else does Xiangmeng not understand."
What Mo Li said at that time has been verified one by one at this moment. The collapse of the iron mine, no matter what, can be regarded as a big loss, Zhou Xinmiao is the principal of this Dadar, this matter is inseparable from her no matter what, whether it is a natural disaster**, or someone deliberately did it, she is afraid that she will have to bear a charge of unfavorable supervision, which is in response to the sentence that the reputation is dirty!
Regardless of whether Na Moli really had two hits, or just a blind cat that touched a dead mouse, in short, this time the princess believed her.
Xiangmeng looked at Zhou Xinmiao and nodded uncontrollably, and had a number in her heart at the moment, so she only said: "Why don't you send someone to find her?" Didn't Mo Li say that she entered the WTO to resolve a bad relationship? If she doesn't go to the place next to her, she will come to our Dadar, so it can be seen that maybe her calamity is here for us, people, maybe they can't go far. ”
Zhou Xinmiao had already believed that Mo Li's words, and Xiangmeng's words were also quite in line with her heart, she hesitated slightly, and then nodded, "This matter needs to be more secretive." ”
Xiangmeng hurriedly said yes.
Zhou Xinmiao's face was relieved, and he couldn't help but say: "It's a pity that this matter is very important, except for letting you run in person, I really can't think of any other suitable candidate, thank you." ”
Yesterday, Xiang Menggang vomited a mouthful of black blood.
"It is the honor of a slave to do things for the princess."
Zhou Xinmiao sighed, "After finishing this, you can rest well!" You can't let yourself be overworked. ”
Xiangmeng smiled and said: "The slave maid has been by the princess's side for many years, and she is the most lazy and treacherous, don't worry, princess." ”
Zhou Xinmiao smiled at her, but there was no smile in her eyes.
Xiangmeng knew that she was worried about the ore vein, so she simply retreated by herself.
Zhou Xinmiao was stunned in the tent for a long time.
Listening to what the soldier said, they first heard a strange loud noise, and then they smelled a pungent smell......
Loud, pungent smell!
Could it be that the landslide was deliberately done from beginning to end? A qiē is all pre-arranged, not an accident?
Yes, if it's just a landslide, why do they hear loud noises?
The other party should have used gunpowder, buried the gunpowder at the accident site in advance, lengthened the lead, and then destroyed the mine by exploding!
But why would they do it?
The veins are so heavily guarded that not even a fly can fly in, and the person who can do this must be the one who is in the middle of the mine.
Are they coolies, or are they their own people?
The coolies were taken captive by them, they lived a precarious life, they ate the worst meals every day, and they had very little time to sleep, they were not like people, ghosts were not like ghosts, they could only wait for death when they were sick, such people wanted to resist, they wanted to give it a go, and it was also fateful.
Just, where did they get the gunpowder?
What if it's your own people who are guarding and stealing?
Will they take refuge in some forces, quietly reveal the fact that they have obtained iron ore, and then take the opportunity to attack it and want to take it away?
Zhou Xinmiao frowned, no, no, the iron mine collapse is not beneficial to the third party, in case those who are familiar with the iron ore mining process are stoned to death, it will be worth the loss.
Are they trying to push themselves down?
Zhou Xinmiao's eyes lit up, yes, it must be so.
If she is not good at doing things, then she is likely to be pushed down from her current position, and if she loses the title of princess, then she will no longer have the power to direct the iron mines, or the entire Dadar Ministry.
What a poisonous trick.
Zhou Xinmiao exhaled a breath of turbidity, and thought secretly: There was an accident in the iron mine, plus the rumors that were unfavorable to him that were spread in the Dadar Department some time ago......
A woman takes control!
Those steppe barbarians still know this!
Zhou Xinmiao hated to bite a mouthful of steel teeth!
She must find out this person who doesn't make her feel better, she wants to see who this person is and what kind of hatred she has! I want her to not be able to gain a foothold in Dadar.
At this time, the fragrant dream outside the tent also ushered in Ji Wan'er.
"Miss Ji, is it really you?" Xiangmeng said in disbelief: "When the little girl told the slave, the slave thought she had recognized the wrong person. A puzzled look flashed on her face, and she asked, "The time hasn't come yet, why did you come over, but there is something urgent?" "Her medicine has just been taken on the fifth day.
Ji Wan'er shook her head and only said, "I just want to come and see you, if the girl is fine, why don't we find a suitable place to talk, and I will help you take the pulse." She didn't talk much, except to explain her illness to the patient, as if it was the first time she had said so much.
Xiangmeng couldn't ask for it, and the two went to the yurt where they spoke last time.
"Yesterday, the slave spit out a mouthful of black blood, not only did she not feel bad, but she felt a lot less relaxed." Xiangmeng stretched out her wrist and gently rested it on the pulse pillow.
Ji Wan'er nodded, did not speak, and reached out to give her a pulse. (To be continued)
