Seeing Xiao Lishan's suspicious eyes, the guard was also anxious.

"Master, how dare the little one lie to you? The mine really blew up! ”

Xiao Lishan glanced at the guard again, thinking that he would borrow a few guts, and he didn't dare to lie to himself, but what he said was ...... It's too unbelievable, he really can't accept it for a while.

"The car is outside?"

The guard nodded and said, "Back to the master, here!" ”

"Okay, then get in the car and go back first! Tell me more about it on the way! ”

As he spoke, Xiao Lishan went downstairs with a "puff", and the guards followed closely behind him.

In the carriage, the guards told Xiao Lishan what happened last night, and last night they saw a dazzling light flashing outside the mine, and then there was a loud noise, and even the ears were buzzing, no different from the sound of thunder in the sky.

They didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to go out, so they finally stayed up until dawn to go out to take a look, and everyone was stupid on the spot!

The entrance to the original mine was blown up, and the outside was blocked by the stones falling from the mountain, and even the road outside the mine was blown up with potholes, making it very difficult to walk.

At this time, the saltpeter could not be mined, they could only run to report to Xiao Lishan as soon as possible.

After listening to the guards' narration, Xiao Lishan fell into deep thought.

The thing he was most afraid of was still coming!

………………

Over the years, Xiao Lishan has relied on the saltpeter mining business, and he has been mixing in the city of Qinan, who has to respectfully shout "Boss Xiao" when he sees him?

But outsiders only see his brilliance, and they don't know how much pressure he is under under the brilliance!

He mined saltpeter mostly to give to the royal magnates, but where did he dare to accept the silver given by the royal magnates? Even if he dares to accept it, I'm afraid he won't have the life to take it!

He knew these truths very well, so he never dared to collect silver when he sent saltpeter to the royal magnates, and could only earn silver by selling the excess saltpeter to other wealthy merchants, and he didn't make much money all year round, just to earn a reputation.

In order to earn more, he contacted Liu Hongjin, and got a lot of death row prisoners from the prison to mine for him, saving the monthly money for the miners.

But now that the investigation is strict, it is becoming more and more difficult to get death row prisoners, and he can only rely on these existing miners to dig saltpeter, and the construction period is very tight.

Seeing that the day of paying tribute to saltpeter this year is getting closer and closer, he is still short of some saltpeter, and now that the mine has been sealed, it is almost his life!

So after listening to the guards, Xiao Lishan's face was already as cold as frost.

"What was unusual in the mine before the thunder last night?"

After listening to Xiao Lishan's question, the guard patted his forehead as if he remembered something, and then said, "I almost forgot!" Master, Xiao Cai and Xiao Kun bit badly last night, let's come out to see, it's Xie Xiaodong peeing! Scolded him a few times, and we didn't take it seriously and went back!

Then the thunder exploded! This morning, I found out that Xie Xiaodong was gone! Master, did you say he made a ghost? ”

"Xie Xiaodong?"

Xiao Lishan was a little puzzled.

"It's the skinny guy who ran to the mine some time ago!"

As soon as the guard reminded him, Xiao Lishan had some impressions in his mind, that thin young man with a beautiful face, but with him, can he make such a big move?

Xiao Lishan shook his head and vetoed the idea himself.

Regarding the statement that the sky thunder bombed the mountain, he probably didn't believe it.

He has lived for so many years, what has not happened? But I've never seen any thunder blow up the mountain!

At most, it's amazing to split a tree, this thing is weird!

Xiao Lishan didn't have much thought, thought about it, and asked, "Is this just this weird thing?" ”

The guard thought for a while, and finally thought of Wu Di.

"Master, there is one."

"Speak quickly!"

Xiao Lishan came to the spirit, he believed that everything has a cause and effect, it is impossible that there is no warning, and his mine will be blown up!

"It's the Wu Gongzi who has been asking for accounts before!"

"Him?"

Xiao Lishan frowned, "Didn't he come yesterday?" ”

"Sir, he didn't come in the morning, but when he came in the afternoon, he said—"

"Say what?"

"Said that if the master didn't see him, he would regret it! And said that yesterday was the last time he came to the mine, so let the master go to Zuixiangju today to find him to pay back! ”

"It's him!"

After listening to the guards, Xiao Lishan clenched his fists and slammed them on the body, making a chaotic sound.

He is not stupid, the threat in Wu's words is obvious, and as soon as he finished speaking, the mine exploded at night, saying that it had nothing to do with him, and Xiao Lishan didn't believe it when he was killed!

It's just that he was a little puzzled, how did he do it?

Just when Xiao Lishan was pondering, the horse-drawn carriage had already arrived at the Xiao family mine, and Xiao Lishan stopped thinking about it, and hurriedly got out of the car to check.

When the collapsed mine was displayed in front of him, Xiao Lishan was instantly stunned.

The situation was worse than he had imagined!

He originally thought that this mine cave was just a hole that was blown up and there were stones blocking the door, and when the time came, let people clean it up quickly, and it should not delay the saltpeter mining.

But he was wrong.

The entrance to this mine has completely collapsed!

And the mountain above has also collapsed a lot, covering a large area including the entrance of the mine, and the road outside is full of potholes, which is extremely difficult to walk.

Isn't that my life?

Xiao Lishan's face was sad, and his heart seemed to be dripping blood!

"Sir...... What's next? ”

"What to do? Dig! Dig for me! Even if you don't rest or eat, you have to dig out the mine for me! If you can't dig it up, I'll kill you all!" ”

Xiao Lishan almost roared out, if he didn't dig enough saltpeter at the specified time, he was afraid that his head would have to move at that time, could he not be in a hurry?

Since the accident, all the miners have been around outside and pointing, it is rare to be free, thinking about this posture, I am afraid that I will not be able to dig it, and my heart is very happy.

But I didn't expect that Xiao Lishan gave such a cruel order, which was much more difficult than digging saltpeter!

But these people are all death row inmates, where do they dare to say more?

As soon as Xiao Lishan's voice fell, everyone picked up the shovel tools and began to get busy.

"Wu Di, good, very good! You wait for me! Come on, prepare the horse, go to the drunken fragrance house! I'd like to know the boy surnamed Wu! ”

After Xiao Lishan finished speaking, he walked towards the carriage with a gloomy face......
