Rejection is a very difficult thing, or a gift to a beautiful woman. Su Ren is not a saint, nor is it because of the fairy sister. For so long, that already vague shadow has become even more blurred. He didn't believe that there were really immortals in this world, so Su Ren decided that it must be a person, and he didn't know if he could meet him. The rejection of green leaning is completely instinctive. At that moment, Su Ren became a good person, and his future was not clear yet, so why bother to harm another one!

At dawn, the whole village moved. Under the command of the patriarch Ayinon, the servants are about to abandon their homeland and leave their fate in the hands of someone they do not trust.

Su Ren didn't go with the servants, he still had a lot of things to do, the most important thing was the servants who were arrested and sent to the mines to work as coolies, this was his promise to the servants who were willing to go with him.

Sima Xiangru was very happy, the main task of coming to the land has been successfully completed, not only to complete the order of Taishou, to save Su Ren's head, but also to get a guide for the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, killing two birds with one stone, no matter how good.

"Ziheng, are you a little uncomfortable because you didn't take all the servants away?" Sima Xiangru saw that Su Ren was in a bad mood, so he explained: "Actually, it's nothing? We have done our best, and this time there are 5,000 servants who will follow us back to Han Land, which is enough to find the guide we need. ”

Su Ren shook his head: "It's not for this matter, I'm thinking about what the Meng family's copper mine looks like, I heard that there are corpses everywhere, and everyone who went there never came back." ”

"Hey!" Sima Xiangru sighed: "Since Tang Meng promised us, presumably those who are alive can survive, this world is actually like this, dead people happen every day, as a low-level people, death is a matter of time, but the way of death is different." ”

Starting from Wujiawan, there was no burden of baggage, and the group walked very fast. After crossing the Maping Dam and Pingchuan, Su Ren kept urging the white horse to run faster, hoping to save one more person. Hawking took Su Ren's letter to Luoshui Pass first, and Su Ren was not at ease about Tang Meng, and he didn't see those people with his own eyes, so he always felt that it was not appropriate.

Tang Meng was very polite, holding the teapot given to him by Su Ren in his hand, swishing, snorting and drinking very comfortably: "Oops, Ziheng has made a good thing, this tea is very delicious, just a few days, I found that I will love it in this life!" ”

"Since Du Wei likes it, when he returns to Chengdu, I will ask people to send more over."

"How bad is that!" Tang Meng smiled: "Then thank you Ziheng!" ”

After a few words of gossip, Tang Meng put down the teapot in his hand and said: "I have received Ziheng's letter, and I also sent someone to the mine, Ziheng rest assured, I will take care of all the people you said, the stubborn servants can be persuaded by Ziheng, this time I will go back to Taishou will be happy, Your Majesty is very concerned about the affairs of the south, especially these servants have a headache, this time Ziheng has made great contributions, and the court must also have rewards, which makes me envious." ”

"Du Wei praised it, I just happened to it, if it weren't for Du Wei's help, how could I have the credit for this time, this matter must be truthfully reported to Tai Shou." Su Ren smiled: "I heard that the Meng family's mine is near here, I wonder if Du Wei can take me to visit, I have never seen what the mine looks like when I am so big!" ”

"It's good! Ziheng wants to appease those servants, and after reading it, he can also say His Majesty's grace to those servants, let's set off, not too far, and will arrive soon. ”

Along the way to the west, after climbing over several mountains, a small river appeared in front of everyone. The dusk of the river shows how much soil erosion is here. Turning down the river into the mountains, I didn't go far before I could see a cloud of dust.

A gust of mountain wind blew down, and the stench and earthy smell were mixed together, making Su Ren and the others who came for the first time feel sick. Bones and corpses have appeared on the side of the road. Those rags, skinny corpses, even a strong man like Huang Shisan couldn't help frowning.

The further you go inside, the worse the situation becomes. Some of the corpses were floating in the river, swollen and soaked without being salvaged, and they had long since lost their human appearance. A flock of wild birds stepped on the carcass's bulging belly, buried their heads in the carcass, and entrailed them. Not far away were a few dull-eyed people, watching with no intention of driving away the wild birds.

It was not the soldiers who guarded the mountain pass, and when they saw someone coming, they hurriedly got up. Tang Meng ignored these people and walked straight in with Su Ren. A cave appeared in front of everyone, the entrance of the cave was very large, like the mouth of a monster, and people with bent waists could be seen carrying large baskets in and out from a long distance. Outside the cave, a long thatched hut is shabby and unsightly, several of which have collapsed because of the time.

This is where the stench comes in. Flies are flying in the middle of winter, and there are still people lying inside, motionless, who must be dead.

Hawking didn't know where to come from, with a bitter face, he came to Su Ren's horse, grabbed the reins of the horse, let Su Ren dismount, turned his head to look at Tang Meng, and swallowed back the words to his mouth.

Tang Meng didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and said to Su Ren with a smile: "The coolies who do labor here are Yelang and Nanyue, these people are not only difficult to cure but also treacherous, if they don't urge, they will sit there all day long, and they don't want to do anything." ”

Su Ren didn't answer, but asked Hawking: "How many have you found?" ”

Hawking took a deep breath: "It's not much, according to the name given to us by the servant, less than one percent of the people found are found, most of them have long since died, and even if they are alive, they won't live for a few days." ”

Sima Xiangru glared: "Create evil!" This Meng family is too ruthless, they are people, not animals! ”

Tang Meng obviously heard the words of the three people, but pretended not to hear them, and only whispered something to the people next to him, allowing the three of them to sigh for a long time. Su Ren was a little helpless, he didn't know how to explain to the servant, if it aroused the servant's disgust because of this incident, it would be worth the loss.

Sighing, Su Ren said: "Forget it, if you can find a few, you must find each one, if you live to see people die, you must see corpses." ”

Hawking nodded, turned and walked away again.

Su Ren suppressed the grief and indignation in his heart, and said to Tang Meng: "Captain Tang, I am going to take people away today, I hope that Captain Du can make it convenient." ”

Tang Meng nodded: "Of course you can, as long as those servants who are willing to come to Han will definitely let Ziheng take them away, this is Ziheng's promise to the servants, in order to collect these servants, I will also let it go, if Meng Changshi asks, I will speak for Ziheng." ”

"Thank you very much!"

He didn't stay in the mine for a long time, and Su Ren felt that he still knew something about the miserable mine. Although I didn't see the black coal kilns and small coal mines in later generations, I also knew a lot about them from TV and the Internet. But what he saw today was completely beyond his imagination. It's not a mine at all, it's a death machine that eats people and doesn't spit out bones.

Huang 13 is on his way to stop a violent incident. One of the overseers whipped a half-year-old child with a leather whip, and Huang Thirteen kicked the overseer out of the way, touching the broken head and yelling loudly for help.

More than a dozen burly men rushed in all directions, each with a leather whip in his hand. Huang Shisan picked up the scarred child and pulled out the sword from his waist: "Ge Laozi, if grandpa doesn't kill you today, you won't be Huang Shisan!" ”

Seeing that he was about to make a move, Tang Meng gave a look to the person next to him. The man hurried over and whispered a few words in the ears of the overseers, and then they left angrily.

Huang Shisan, who was already angry in his throat, turned his head to look for the child, but found that the child was dragging his scarred body and walking towards the cave step by step, without even saying a word of thanks.

Tang Meng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Ziheng! Don't be sorry for these guys, do you know how many of our Shu County garrisons died when they arrested these people? They are all good sons of our Han people, they have been guarding the southwest gateway for many years, and they have shed blood for the stability of our Han border, and they did not die on the battlefield, but they died in the hands of these guys, it is really not worth it! ”

Su Ren has nothing to say, this place has no humanity, and it is also a place that the law can't control, and it is easier to die than an ant. These people are not Han Chinese, and in the eyes of the Han people they are even inferior to their own dogs. The inferiority of human beings is evident in this place.

When leaving, the dozen or so servants who were found were beyond everyone's imagination. Let go and go, let stop and stop, take what you are given food, you will not ask if you don't give it. The gaze is glazed, and it's simply a bunch of walking dead. Perhaps they thought they were going to take them to death, and death would be a relief for them.

No one spoke, and many people shed tears in silence. Looking at those servants who almost only had one breath, Su Ren remembered the famous sentence: If you are not of my race, your heart will be different. Before the nation died out, the methods used to deal with foreigners were terrible. Today they have seen how the Han Chinese mistreated the servants, and perhaps somewhere in the land there is a group of Han Chinese who are being treated in the same way.

That night, everyone didn't eat, and they panicked. This kind of thing has to be blamed on one thing or one person. Those overseers? Apparently they are just executors. Tang Meng? It can't be, at most an accomplice. And who else is there? After thinking about it, there is only one person who should be responsible for this matter, and that is Changshi Mengji of Shu County.

The mine is the industry of the Meng family, and the copper ore produced in the mine has brought income to the Meng family. So the initiator of this incident is Meng Ji, who is undoubtedly responsible.

Hawking slashed his sword on the door frame: "Meng Ji, this old immortal, I will kill him when I go back!" ”

Sima Xiangru sighed: "Hey! One Monji can't do such a big thing! ”

Su Ren turned his head and glanced at Sima Xiangru, feeling that this sentence was very reasonable.
