Shang Jinxiu looked intently at those who pleaded for mercy, but his mind had already gone elsewhere.

These people all had a familiar aura around her, which made her involuntarily think of the time before the crossing. She has spatial abilities, so she can naturally feel spatial energy. At the same time, because of the inclusiveness of the space, she can use the spatial ability to perceive other energies distributed in the space.

Now, these people are carrying metallic energy. However, these people are ordinary people, not supernatural beings. They're going to get contaminated with this energy, and it's supposed to come from somewhere.

Thinking of their origins, Shang Jinxiu suddenly had a plan in his heart. Space contains all kinds of energy, but not much, except in the vicinity of something.

For example, wherever there is water, there is more water attribute energy, and the more water, the more water attribute energy. It will be easier for water-type abilities to cultivate near water.

Now, these people are contaminated with a lot of metallic energy, and they can't accumulate to such a level overnight, it must be a long-term accumulation. So Shang Jinxiu was sure that the place where these people lived should contain a lot of metal. Most likely, there is a metal mine there.

As for what kind of mine it was, she wasn't sure. After all, she's a spatial ability, not a metallic ability. Although it is possible to perceive the presence of metallic energy, it is impossible to distinguish it concretely.

A metal deposit is an extremely important existence in this era, and now iron tools are subject to control, and ordinary people are not allowed to mine metal ore privately.

Even if Shang Jinxiu has special abilities, she will not be stupid enough to go against a country, she is not interested in mining at all. However, since this matter has made her know. It can't be wasted, it must be put to good use.

Just when she was making an idea. Shang Shi Gong also arrived here. Although Shang Shigong went first, she and Lan Qi ran too fast, so that they came earlier than Shang Shigong.

Lan Qi saw that Shang Jinxiu's expression was wrong, as if she had an idea, and was about to ask her what was going on, but seeing that Shang Shigong was coming, she had to suppress the curiosity in her heart and look around vigilantly, in case someone suddenly attacked. It is unfortunate for the merchants.

At the same time, Shang Jinxiu also put aside the thoughts in his heart and became fully vigilant.

As soon as Shang Shigong came, the people who were originally gathered together suddenly let go of a spacious road and let Shang Shigong pass. However, before Shang Shigong walked over, those ragged people of Wushan Village couldn't wait to rush to Shang Shigong.

Shang Shigong was surrounded by four tall and mighty guards, and the four of them saw a group of people rushing over, their faces suddenly changed, and they subconsciously blocked in front of Shang Shigong. Be defensive. Because the other party is a common people, although they are equipped with waist swords, they only press their hands on the hilt and do not pull them out, otherwise. I'm afraid someone will make a big fuss about it again.

The people of Wushan Village subconsciously pounced on Shang Shigong and wanted to plead with him, but after seeing the four tiger-backed guards around Shang Shigong. They suddenly paused and stopped five paces away from Shang Shigong. Don't dare to come any closer.

Then everyone knelt down. said in unison: "Please Lord Qingtian to help, give us a way to live!" ”

Originally, someone had taught them to say this, but when they really said it, thinking of the current situation of Wushan Village and the desperate future, these people couldn't help but mourn in their hearts, and they all cried.

Shang Shigong was about to open his mouth to let them get up, but someone shouted: "Lord Prefect, these people in Wushan Village are too pitiful, you can help them!" You can't let them starve to death if you don't save them! ”

Shang Jinxiu's eyes were cold, and he looked in the direction where the voice came from, and the people who were watching at the layers couldn't tell who was speaking! Her gaze grew colder, and then, her eyes suddenly turned dark. This is because she borrowed the power of the spatial ability so that she can see where the other person is.

At this glance, she found that it was a thin short man who spoke, wearing ordinary cloth clothes, with a sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, an improper face, and a treacherous gaze, and he looked like a villain.

This man obviously said that on purpose, and he has accomplices!

As soon as his words fell, a few more people echoed, seemingly making up their minds to force Shang Shigong to take over this hot potato. If Shang Shigong refuses to agree, they will fan the flames again, not to mention that they will use this matter to discredit Shang Shigong, once he instigates these villagers of Wushan Village, the villagers who know that they have no hope of survival will be killed, and Shang Shigong's life will be in danger!

What she thought of, Lan Qi and Shang Shigong also thought of, so their faces were a little more solemn. Lan Qi pulled Shang Jinxiu and tried to lean towards Shang Shigong in order to protect him nearby.

Just when the people were waiting impatiently and couldn't help but speak, Shang Shigong spoke, his voice was very flat, but his face was very solemn and extremely serious. He said: "Since you are the people of my Daxi Dynasty, the government will naturally not ignore you, and you can wait with peace of mind, and in time, I will definitely help you arrange a place to live and live." ”

Although Shang Shigong had the intention to help them, he still played a trick and didn't say the time directly, just let them wait. During this time, he hoped that he could think of the most appropriate way, if not, I am afraid that Li Shuhua would have to break the bank.

Thinking of this, Shang Shigong was ashamed and self-blaming. He thought that becoming the prefect of Qingzhou would allow Li Shuhua to enjoy his happiness, but instead let Li Shuhua keep sticking silver.

But Shang Shigong was open-minded, and although he felt ashamed in his heart, he quickly returned to normal, and decided that he must treat Li Shuhua better in the future. He owes Li Shuhua a lot, and if he loses her again, it will be no different from a beast.

Shang Jinxiu didn't know the entanglement in Shang Shigong's heart at this time, in her opinion, there were only more than 100 households in Wushan Village, which was really easy to solve. It just so happened that she was going to buy a field near Qingzhou and build a grange to grow grain and vegetables for the needs of 'Yipin Xian'. Now, it is just right to arrange more than 100 families on the grange.

Shang Jinxiu had an idea, and the people of Wushan Village who were kneeling on the ground also hesitated in their hearts, and decided to listen to Shang Shigong. After all, they are ordinary people, and they have an instinctive fear of the government, and at first they dared to come to Qingzhou City with the support of a will to survive, and even knelt down in front of Shang Shigong and begged him for help.

Now, Shang Shigong has given a guarantee, which undoubtedly gives these people hope to live. With hope, the will to survive that supported them suddenly loosened, and the fear of the government resurfaced.

So they flinched, and didn't even dare to ask how long Shang Shigong would have to wait.

But they didn't dare to ask, but others did. It was the thin man just now who raised his voice and said, "Lord Prefect, the people of Wushan Village are dying of starvation, where can they wait any longer!" The longer it drags on, the more miserable their days become! My lord, why don't you show kindness to them, and help them now? Otherwise, do you want to watch them starve to death? ”

As soon as he said this, the eyes of the people around him who looked at Shang Shigong suddenly changed. is respectful, but there is also a bit of blame and complaint. People always subconsciously sympathize with the weak, and these people see that the people of Wushan Village are living so miserably, so they naturally hope that the merchant function will help. No matter how difficult Shang Shigong is, his explanation will only be an excuse for not wanting to make a move in the eyes of these people!

Shang Shigong looked at the place where the voice came from, eager to see who was deliberately working against him. However, he didn't have a spatial ability, so naturally he couldn't see it as clearly as Shang Jinxiu. The thin man was very good at hiding, he hid in the crowd, and blocked himself by the tall man in front of him, and spoke more and more unscrupulously.

However, although Shang Shigong didn't see this person, he felt a strong malice from this person.

At this moment, Shang Shigong saw a person. That person was none other than Shang Jinxiu. At this time, Shang Jinxiu was waving to Shang Shigong. Her thumb and forefinger are bent and the remaining three fingers stand up in an 'OK' gesture. Shang Shigong saw it, but immediately understood that Shang Jinxiu was talking about 'three'.

Shang Shigong suddenly understood what Shang Jinxiu meant by three days, he couldn't figure it out, how short the time of three days was, could Shang Jinxiu still have any way?

In fact, he didn't have no choice, but he didn't want Li Shuhua to pay for it, so he thought about dragging it out first, and then he would find a better way. But Shang Jinxiu signaled to him 'three', but he had to think about it.

After hesitating for a moment, Shang Shigong raised his voice and said, "In three days, I will give you an explanation." After he said this, he suddenly felt relieved, as if the mountain that had been pressing on his heart had finally moved away a little.

After that, he subconsciously looked at Shang Jinxiu, looking at Hui Zhilanxin's daughter, the satisfaction in Shang Shigong's heart was so much that it was about to overflow.

Shang Jinxiu didn't have so many ideas, she just thought that she would go to explore the situation in Wushan Village tonight and see what was buried underneath. If she really buried a large mineral deposit, then she must make good use of it, if not, then she will not break her promise, and will help settle the villagers of Wushan Village.

Although Shang Shigong didn't know what Shang Jinxiu thought, after all, the words had already been spoken, and it was impossible to take it back.

The villagers of Wushan Village couldn't believe their ears when they heard this, they had waited for so many years, and when they saw that they had reached the end of their rope and could not survive, Shang Shigong actually told them that they only needed to wait for another three days.

How could they not be excited?

The thin man saw that these people's expressions were moved, and his eyes were full of gratitude and awe when he looked at Shang Shigong, and he was suddenly dissatisfied in his heart. He worked so hard to find these people, but not to see that they were grateful for the merit of the merchants!

It's a pity that just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a pain in his lower abdomen, as if he had been hit hard by a huge force, and his abdomen suddenly turned over and over, and he was in severe pain. (To be continued......)
