Chapter 242: Secret
Zhuo Wangsun's body was shocked, and he hurriedly held on to the guardrail of the carriage. Turning his head to look at the mine that was collapsing, he gasped: "I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful!" ”
The butler was holding a jar containing black powder. Zhuo Wangsun stretched out his hand to pick up a little and sniffed it with his nose: "It's charcoal!" ”
The housekeeper shook his head: "No, I tried it a few days ago, and I can't ignite it with charcoal alone, and even if it is ignited, it is only some sparks, and it is not so powerful at all." ”
Zhuo Wangsun nodded: "After I go back, find someone to see, as long as we can figure out what is used, then we will be more sure of the restoration of the country!" ”
"Whoa!" The housekeeper nodded hurriedly, carefully re-capped the jar, and held it in his arms, for fear of any accidents.
The carriage was a little bumpy on the muddy road, and Zhuo Wangsun swayed left and right in it. It was cold outside, and the wind blew the snow into the carriage occasionally, and a chill swept in. This copper mine has just been taken over, and one or two copper has not yet been produced, and it is over, and Zhuo Wangsun is a little unwilling. But this is also something that can't be helped, it is at least better to destroy him than to be taken away by Su Ren.
With a long sigh, Zhuo Wangsun tightened his clothes, leaned on the gang and closed his eyes. He remembered that before, Shuzhong was heaven, and everything was beautiful, whether it was the scenery or their Zhuo family's business. Since that person appeared, everything has never gone according to his wishes, and the heavy burden has made Zhuo Wangsun breathless. The state of Zhao has been destroyed for so many years, why should it be restored? Although he was once a Zhao person, he knew in his heart that the Zhao State had not succeeded in recovering the country under the tyrannical Qin, let alone the current Han Dynasty?
Sometimes Zhuo Wangsun wanted to give up, but he didn't dare, he knew that person was terrible. Even if he had the slightest thought of this, that person would know and do something he would regret a lot. Zhuo Wangsun hurriedly gathered his mind, opened his eyes slightly, and looked at the housekeeper opposite. Seeing that the housekeeper fell asleep with the jar in his arms, he was a little relieved.
Gou Tianming got up from the ground, covered in dirt and a few wounds. There were also a few people around him, sitting in the dust in a daze, and if they hadn't moved, they couldn't be sure that it was people.
It's terrible, a majestic mountain, and suddenly it collapses. The wind that blew out of the mine swept them out like fallen leaves. I don't know how far I flew, but when I woke up, there were big rocks in front of me, and a few thick trees. The tree has no leaves, its branches are broken quite a bit, and the entire trunk is the bark of the tree smashed by stones.
Shaking his head, the dirt fell: "It's all right, right?" ”
"It's okay, I can't die!" A few people said yes. And a few brothers who came by themselves were there: "What about that guy? ”
"I don't know, maybe I was stoned to death!"
"Before I could ask who sent it, he died, the whole mountain collapsed, and the mine was gone! I don't know what this guy is doing in there? Someone wondered.
Gou Tianming didn't answer, patted the dust on his body: "If it's okay, let's go, the mine is gone, and we don't have to stay here!" ”
The earth-shattering sound was clearly heard for ten miles around the mine. The servants had already knelt down and bowed down towards the collapsed mine. Since childhood, he has lived in the mountains and has a natural worship of the mountains. When the mountain collapsed, it was naturally the mountain god who was angry, and how could he do it without bowing and praying to the mountain god to calm his anger.
Gou Tianming didn't stop the servants from kneeling, but just found a few leaders: "Now that you are free, you can go back if you want to go back, and you want to go to Dujiangyan with us. ”
Several leaders nodded, saluted Gou Tianming, and then left. Gou Tianming knew the secret of the collapse of the mine, and he was not prepared to say it, at least not to tell these servants. When he came, Su Ren only explained to him the things in the mine, which was secretly sent in by the head of Chongxu Dao, a full ten truckloads of gunpowder, in order to blow up the entire mine when he had to, but he didn't expect someone to know about it.
I didn't sleep all night, and at dawn the leader of the servants came. Most of the people are ready to follow Gou Tianming and them to Dujiangyan, these are the tribal people who were persuaded by Ayinong, with their current situation, even if they can return to the land alive, without the care of the tribe, they will inevitably be swallowed up by other tribes or starve to death. Since their clansmen have gone to Dujiangyan, they will go, and there are still relatives there.
Leave the mine and part ways at a fork in the road. After last night's battle, there are many people who have formed life and death friendships between these servants. According to the etiquette of the servants, everyone hugged and offered their most sincere blessings to each other.
The matter of the mine, everyone in Dujiangyan is paying attention. Whether it is the Han people brought by Su Ren or the servants, they have great hopes for this rescue. In the eyes of Su Ren's subordinates, Su Ren would never do useless work, since it was naturally no problem to send people to succeed. The servants are also very confident in Su Ren, everyone lives in Shunan, and they have heard a lot of Su Ren's name.
Ah Bang hurriedly broke into the room, out of breath, with a smile on his face: "Back, back, back!" Saved! ”
One sentence made everyone in the room excited. Several servant patriarchs rushed out first, followed by Su Ren's men. Su Ren didn't move, turned around and teased the son in Lu Yi's arms. The little guy grows more and more lovable, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, and two big eyes are very smart, and he knows that he is a smart child at a glance. It's also strange to say, although he doesn't know anything, as long as he sees Su Ren, he always has a smile on his little face.
The new county magistrate of Dujiangyan looked at Su Ren: "Captain Su, since the rescue has come back, here are you going to arrange these servants?" ”
Su Ren waved his hand and signaled that the county magistrate could go. The official position of the county magistrate is higher than that of him as a lieutenant. However, the county magistrate of Dujiangyan was an exception, this person was originally an assistant to Sima Xiangru, and because Sima Xiangru resigned, he successfully took over. Since his predecessors are all Su Ren's subordinates, he is very conscious.
"By the way, don't embarrass these servants, according to what we said, voluntarily, they will stay there if they want to, this Jiangyan is very big, only if these servants live well, can they attract more servants, and then you may become a county order!"
The county magistrate hurriedly stopped, nodded and smiled: "Captain Su can rest assured, he knows what to do, and he will arrange these servants properly!" ”
Outside the door, the joy of reunion after a long absence, and the excitement of seeing relatives made the whole village boil.
Sima Xiangru shook his head: "Since they are all back, it seems that the situation in the mine is not good!" ”
Su Ren nodded: "This is also what we expected, if it's gone, it's gone, and no one should worry about it!" ”
"Hehe, don't you still pity the money?"
"Money is earned, not made, even if we mint coins now, when the court really wants to take it back, it will definitely be uncomfortable, it is better not to have it in the first place, whether he is collected by the court or not, our money is our money!"
"Hahaha......" Sima Xiangru laughed: "I appreciate your this, and I never force it!" ”
Gou Tianming was disgraced, two hundred people with hundreds of people hurried away, as the leader, it was naturally not easy, he could bring these people back safely, Gou Tianming didn't sleep much along the way, and his already thin body was even thinner. Moreover, the spirit is not good, and the moment I enter the door, I have a deep self-blame on my face.
"Sir!"
Su Ren raised his hand: "It's good to come back, there's no need to say anything else, it's already a great achievement to bring these servants back, and the rest will wait for you to wake up." ”
"We can't wait!" Gou Tianming took two steps forward, explained in detail the incident of someone detonating the gunpowder hidden in the mine, and knelt down and said: "I didn't do this well, please punish Mr." ”
Sima Xiangru frowned: "You mean someone found those things?" ”
Gou Tianming nodded: "It doesn't matter if you find it, if you ignite it, there will be nothing, what I'm most worried about is that someone has already taken some of it, if such a powerful thing is obtained by our opponent, it will be extremely unfavorable to us in the future!" ”
Su Ren didn't pay attention to it at all, and asked, "Do you know who it is?" ”
Gou Tianming shook his head: "Without waiting for questioning, that kid was buried by the rock, and it is estimated that he is dead!" ”
Sima Xiangru thought for a while: "I guess it is Tang Meng who has the highest chance, when he first went to Yandi, Tang Meng asked Mr. about this, and before that, the county soldiers guarded the mine, and others would not pay attention to these things at all." ”
Gou Tianming nodded: "Well, what Mr. Sima said is right, it should be Tang Meng!" ”
Su Ren waved his hand: "It won't be Tang Meng, if he gets something, he will definitely transport it out, and he won't continue to stay in the mine, since it was detonated, it means that they won't find it for too long, it should be recently, they didn't have time to transport it away, so I think it is more likely that Zhuo Wangsun or Huainan people will be there." Speaking of this, Su Ren suddenly asked, "Are you sure that none of the Huainan people escaped?" ”
Gou Tianming hurriedly said: "Absolutely not, when we left, we checked it carefully, and even counted the corpses and the Huainan people who came at the beginning!" ”
"That's Zhuo Wangsun!" Su Ren came to the final conclusion.
Sima Xiangru was a little painful, although Zhuo Wangsun didn't recognize him as a son-in-law, he couldn't deny Zhuo Wangsun, his father-in-law. Just as he was about to speak, Su Ren said: "It doesn't matter if Zhuo Wangsun takes it, it will take a long time to crack the doorway with their wisdom, even if it is cracked and redeployed, it will take a lot of trouble to redeploy, and when they all figure it out, we will be able to make a better one." ”
Sima Xiangru smiled bitterly: "Anyway, it's not a good thing for this secret to be leaked out, it's really not good, only ......"
