Chapter 149: Behind the Scenes
It seems that in the court, the struggle is indeed harsher than she imagined.
That gold bar is not something that ordinary people can make.
She held her forehead, hoping that it would be smoother in the future, and the next day, the volcanic ash was really safe and sound, which was much less than the previous digging, but it was enough to transport it out first to ensure that the construction could go smoothly.
was directing people to load the car and prepare to transport it down the mountain, but a half-year-old child suddenly ran back in a hurry, "Village chief, it's not good, Uncle Wang Zhong and they are gone." ”
The boy was in his teens, panting and frightened.
The village chief was stunned for a moment, "What's the matter?" Didn't I have the door locked? How did it make people run away? ”
"I don't know, I went to deliver food to them today, and when I opened the small window, no one answered, so I glanced inside, and it was empty, and there was no one." The child said anxiously.
Xi Duyun was also slightly surprised in her heart, "Village Chief." ”
Before he finished speaking, the village chief immediately waved his hand and said, "This matter, I can't help you, you see, otherwise, if he comes back, we will definitely arrest him." ”
"There's no urgency in this matter." Xi Duyun felt very strange in her heart, according to what the kid said just now, these three people should not be able to get out, but what is going on now?
She glanced at the village chief, and always felt that the village chief was slightly strange, and remembered that when she saw the gold bar last night, the village chief's jaw was about to drop in shock, as if he was very greedy, could he have moved something?
Xi Duyun thought about it and hurriedly shook his head, throwing this idea out of his mind, isn't it too much to think about it like this?
"Village chief, can you send someone to find out his relative's house, or rather, the place where he may go, and I will pay for lost work." Xi Duyun said in a deep voice, such a big living person will disappear if he can't say it, it's too strange, he must be found.
The village chief's face was slightly embarrassed, "Now that everyone is doing this job to earn money, who wants to go?" Rest assured, they won't be able to run far. ”
When Xi Duyun saw him shirking, he felt even more strange in his heart, but he asked him to find someone, and then went to Wang Zhong's house.
The place where the gold bar was buried yesterday seemed to have changed a little, and she opened the floor tile to see that the oil-paper bag inside was gone, empty.
It cannot be ruled out that Wang Zhong came out and took away the gold bars, and of course, it cannot be ruled out that someone was interested in getting rich.
Just asking the village chief to help, she was not very relieved, so she asked other people in the village more, and asked Wang Zhong if he had any relatives outside, and everyone unanimously answered no.
Xi Duyun knows that this is difficult to do, I'm afraid it's not easy to find, the number one of this day can make a person wander anywhere, in short, they didn't bring greater losses, let it go, and it's a good thing not to come back and mess with their affairs.
Before noon, the volcanic ash had already been loaded, and Xi Duyun took the people sent to him by the Five Princes to escort the truckloads of volcanic ash down the mountain.
The road in the mountains is very quiet, just in spring, the birds and insects have not yet recovered from hibernation, here is quiet like a confined space, but the silence reveals a trace of weirdness.
An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Xi Duyun's heart, if someone really paid for the trouble, then their purpose must be to prevent this building material from being sent to Yanzhou, the first time it failed, then what else would they do the second time?
As if to confirm her suspicions, a feathered arrow with flames suddenly flew down from the valley, hitting the first mountain man who had opened the way in front of her. Book 6 bar
Then countless feather arrows were like meteors crossing, flying in a hurry, where had Xi Muyun seen this kind of posture, and he immediately took a step back in fright and supported the people around him.
"Run." Xi Duyun said loudly, Cuiyun hurriedly protected Xi Muyun behind him, and said softly: "Miss, don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
Xi Duyun nodded, calmed down, and ordered the people brought to her by the Fifth Prince to protect the villagers and evacuate to a safe place.
Although their reaction was already very fast, in this case, the sword did not have eyes, and several villagers still died on the mountain road.
They immediately evacuated and evacuated to a safe place.
Xi Duyun stood in the cave, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there was a road behind her, and she was not afraid of fire attacks, so she calmed down a little after being here, and hurriedly ordered an attendant with high martial arts skills to say, "You go and see, are there any people alive?" ”
The attendant immediately nodded, "Okay, you protect Miss Xi, if anything happens to her, you and I will have to go to see the fifth prince." ”
Everyone nodded their heads, their eyes full of determination.
Many of the villagers were so frightened that they couldn't say a word, and they hadn't recovered from the terrible scene just now.
The entourage who had found out about the situation came back after a stick of incense, "Those people have basically been burned to death, four dead, and the volcanic ash has also been burned and destroyed by oil, and you can't continue to walk unless you reload." ”
"Looks like they're coming for ash again." Xi Duyun squinted his eyes slightly, those people didn't seem to care about what happened to them, they just rushed to a few truckloads of volcanic ash on the mountain road, lighting these things and burning them, which would slow down their progress, and they couldn't load much more from the scene, the volcanic ash was already light, and when it was blown by the wind, I was afraid there wouldn't be much left.
"Who the hell is it?" Xi Duyun squeezed her hand fiercely, and for the first time, she felt that her opponent seemed to be like a ghost, ethereal but everywhere.
Maybe it was the people in the court, the purpose was to stop the completion of the dam, Xi Duyun had a point in his heart, but he had no choice but to let people report the situation here to the five princes, and the five princes wrote a letter, saying that they could stop the construction first, and it would not be too late to start work after he had solved the matter of that day.
Xi Duyun only hoped that he could be faster.
Wang Zhong and the three of them ran wildly all the way, and seeing that they were about to arrive in Yanzhou, a man suddenly appeared in front of them, "The Lord can't do a good job of explaining this matter to you, isn't this money hot?" ”
"Why haven't I seen you?" Wang Zhong looked a little strange like the man in black.
The man in black sneered, "You fools have messed things up, if he appears again, I'm afraid he will be implicated to death by your stupidity, I was sent by the Lord." ”
Wang Zhong took a deep breath, "You can't blame me, who made that girl so cunning, didn't we do nothing, didn't we finish all those volcanic ashes?" The project dragged on for a day, and it also made our brothers tired and out of breath, so I can't return the money to you. ”
"Who cares about that money?" The man in black laughed, "If you still want more money, this matter can't be stopped, come with me, I'll take you to make a new plan." ”
"This ......" Wang Zhong hesitated, in fact, he wanted to stop after doing this one, that gold allowed him to spend it for many years, and even buy a house and land in Yanzhou City, he didn't want to do such a thing again.
His two younger brothers were greedy, and when they heard that there was still a job to earn money, they immediately cheered up, "What other plans?" ”
Wang Zhong thought about it, in fact, these jobs are not hard, nor tired, but just a little scared, who would have trouble with money, so he asked, "What other plans?" ”
