Chapter 401 Investigate the Cause

Hundreds of soldiers stayed outside the cell door, and the jailer was so frightened that he came to the door of the cell tremblingly and let Li Ling out. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Governor, I've wronged you!" The jailer said cautiously.

Xiao Hachi's fierce look scared him out of the sky, these soldiers have all fought on the battlefield, and the jailer is really afraid that the other party will find a reason to kill him.

No wonder Li Ling killed the son of the governor Tao Guan and still acted like a nobody, it turned out that he was the new governor.

"Brother Jailer, since Sun An didn't make a big mistake, why didn't he release him too?" Li Ling asked casually, he didn't forget Father Sun's request.

Li Ling opened his mouth, how dare the jailer not do it? As for whether the county order is willing, he can't care so much!

After Sun An was released, he wanted to thank Li Ling but didn't know how to speak, so he hurriedly coughed a few times and stood behind Li Ling.

He has been in prison for too long, and he can't communicate with others, especially an official like Li Ling, which really puts a lot of pressure on Sun An.

Although he didn't know what the rank of Governor of Zhejiang Zhi was, he knew that Li Ling must be extraordinary when he looked at the jailers trembling together and the mighty soldiers beside Li Ling.

Hachi actually came to the prison so early to greet him, could it be that something big happened?

Li Ling's face sank like water, and as soon as he came out of the prison, he asked Xiao Ba: "You are so anxious, is something wrong, how are the ladies?" ”。

Li Ling is still worried about a few women, they are just some women. It may not be possible to solve everything satisfactorily, especially now in Jiangxi, Ning Wang's territory.

Hachi hurriedly denied it and told the story of last night's shocking noise.

The soldiers were worried about Li Ling's safety, so they hurried here.

Li Ling knew that such a loud sound could only be produced by an explosion, but there were endless mountains around Jingdezhen, and who was blasting here?

He was in the middle of the city, in a chaotic prison, and there was a thunderstorm outside last night, so he didn't hear anything out of the ordinary.

"Let's go back to Sun's house first and then discuss!" Li Ling decided to give up speculation first, it was just an explosion, if the locals were opening the mountain, it was just a local matter, and Li Ling didn't need to ask.

Sun An followed Li Ling to his house, he didn't understand what kind of sacredness Li Ling was, how could he let so many soldiers guard.

A rough estimate is made, I'm afraid there will be a few hundred people!

The arrival of Li Ling and Sun An made the Sun family extremely happy.

Father Sun saw that Li Ling had brought over hundreds of extremely strong soldiers, he wanted to ask the identity of the other party but did not speak, after all, Li Ling was his son's savior, and he shouldn't ask more.

Not long after Li Ling first arrived at Sun's house, Wei Zhong, the governor of Tao, and Cheng Yuan, the magistrate of the county, all came to Sun's house.

The new governor of Zhejiang is actually in Jingdezhen!

After hearing the news from the cell boss, the two chiefs did not dare to slack off at all, and they immediately got up and came to the Sun family to meet Li Ling!

"Xiaguan Weizhong has seen the Governor!".

"Xiaguan Cheng has seen the Governor from afar!".

After the two of them saluted Li Ling respectively, they stood aside, the two glanced at each other, Cheng Yuan walked to Li Ling's side and said: "The lower officials don't know that the governor is here, and if there is a lot of offense, I hope Haihan!" ”。

Cheng Yuan didn't dare to mention his son's murder now, it was really difficult for him to let go of this hatred, but if he showed a posture of being eager to fight hard with Li Ling, he would also hit a stone with an egg.

He can only bury his resentment deep in his heart and wait until the time is ripe to settle accounts with Li Ling.

Cheng Yuan firmly believes that as long as he follows his master, King Ning, he will definitely have a chance to take revenge!

Sun Die quietly hid in the back house and listened to the movement in front, he didn't expect Li Ling to have such a great ability.

"Great ......, Grand Duke, the brothers have found out where the explosion occurred last night, this place is about fifty miles away from Jingdezhen, I wonder if you will go and take a look and investigate!"

When the atmosphere in the living room was awkward, Hachi came over, and a message had just been sent by a soldier, and they had found the location of the accident with the help of the local people.

Li Ling's main purpose in coming to Jiangxi was to inspect the civil affairs here, and now that a big explosion has occurred near Jingdezhen, there is no reason not to inform him.

Such a thing actually happened outside Jingdezhen!

Wei Zhong and Cheng Yuan both had sweat on their heads, this is their jurisdiction, and they are responsible for it!

"My lord, I'm waiting, I'm just getting a report ......."

The paper couldn't contain the fire, and since the matter was revealed, Wei Zhong had to step forward and tell all the specific information.

This Tao official can listen to the long with his hand, and after the incident, the messenger will send the information to his house before entering the county office.

"My lord, this mine is actually a private mine, and the owner is also a businessman from other places, and it is said that last night there was a big explosion due to the mishandling of the miners, and everyone in the mine was blown up and killed......."

As soon as Wei Zhong saw that all the insiders were dead, he became angry when he spoke, trying to hide from the world!

The Tao Governor insisted that this was the case, and the county magistrate had nothing to say, he stood in place in fear and wiped his sweat, and he didn't know when there was a private mine in the jurisdiction.

"In that case, let's go over and have a look!".

Now the situation is confusing, what caused the explosion is still unknown, Li Ling left these thousand soldiers in Jingdezhen, and he pulled Cheng Yuan and the county commander to leave with only a few guards!

Led by the soldiers who reported the situation, they rode their horses and arrived at the scene of the incident in an hour.

A team of Li Jiajun is already waiting there!

"My lord, we have taken control of the entire mine, so you should go inside and see what happens!" The leading general said a little lonely.

Something big happened, Wei Zhong and Cheng Yuan suddenly had a bad feeling, they never imagined that such a thing would happen when Li Ling was in Jingdezhen.

As soon as the cold wind blew, the two of them vomited on the horse, they were authentic civil officials, they were not as good as Li Ling had been on the battlefield, and they had to ride a war horse for dozens of miles for the first time, and it was normal to not be adaptable.

"Let's go in and have a look!". Li Ling said a little indifferently.

Climb up the rugged mountain road and turn a corner to the mine.

What caught Li Ling's eyes was a tragic scene, the mountain path was full of broken arms and stumps, but he couldn't find any intact corpses.

Li Ling endured his nausea and casually inspected a few arms, and found that they had calluses on their thumbs and middle fingers, and he was also the one who led the troops, so he naturally knew that these people might be soldiers in the army.

Although Li Jiajun took over the place, they did not enter the mine.

It can be seen that these people were originally in the mine, and the air was filled with the smell of explosives after explosion, and the smell of broken arms was even stronger.

Li Ling could almost conclude the cause of death of these soldiers.

"My lord, there's a discovery in the cave!"

The cave was full of charred corpses, and even if the Li Jiajun was invincible on the battlefield, they couldn't see such a scene.

Some of the soldiers threw up instantly!

"Hurry up, carry all these bodies out of the cave and bury them deeply!"

The soldiers all followed Li Ling from the northwest, so they naturally knew how to dispose of the corpse, if the corpse was allowed to rot and deteriorate here, once the plague occurred, it would be a big trouble!

Wei Zhong and Cheng Yuan, two local officials, finally entered the mining area, but when they saw more than 200 charred corpses placed side by side on the ground, they vomited again!

"My lord, I ......, I really can't stay here any longer! Otherwise I'm going to be driven crazy! ”。

Cheng Yuan couldn't bear the stimulation of this kind of charred corpse around him, and he couldn't care about his official voice and future.

He had already made up his mind, and after this incident, he would apply for a transfer from Jiangxi, if the court did not allow him, he would rather abandon his official position!

Wei Zhong couldn't stand it in his heart, but his eyes never left Li Ling, always watching the governor's every move.

Li Ling walked up to a corpse and squatted down, priing open the corpse's mouth and nose with force.

The inside was empty, and the mouth was clean.

Li Ling's face became even more gloomy, these people were all killed first and then set on fire to the corpses!

"Come, find out what guards are in the vicinity, and have their command bring all the soldiers to me!"

"Yes, sir!".

Li Ling actually wanted to see the local soldiers, and the scout agreed to leave!

Li Ling already had an eyebrow in his heart, these miners must be the hands of local soldiers!

He ignored Wei Zhong and Cheng Yuan, the two magistrates, and continued to walk deeper into the mine.

There's also a smelter inside, but all the equipment has been destroyed!

"Young Master, there's a discovery!". Xiao Ba ran over excitedly and took Li Ling to a warehouse.

There was a huge ingot of gold in the treasury, which seemed to weigh dozens of gold.

"They're actually mining gold!". Li Ling immediately became suspicious, could it be that a certain army here had ambitions, and it was impossible to secretly refine gold here?

"My lord, there is nothing else but this piece of gold!"

The storehouse was full of debris, and the soldiers never found any other gold nuggets.

It seems that the mine owner is also very vigilant, and once a certain amount of gold nuggets have been refined, they will be sent away immediately.

Suddenly, the miners' killers forgot that there was a piece of gold left here.

Li Ling's first suspicion was the garrison here, they met all the conditions of the above inference, and it was absolutely possible for them to do such a thing.

"Your Excellency is suspicious of the garrison here?". Wei Zhong slowly walked up to Li Ling and said, "Jingdezhen is an important town, and the imperial court has indeed stationed a soldier here, but I don't think they should be so bold!" ”。

Wei Zhong began to excuse the soldiers of the guard, he was friendly with the Qianhu Wujin of the local guard, so naturally he didn't want him to get into trouble!

Li Ling didn't pay attention to Wei Zhong, it was actually very simple to distinguish whether the soldiers in the guard station had problems or not.

Just check the roster to see if the soldiers are complete!

The explosion was so loud that it was impossible for the garrison on the mine to be free of casualties.

Wu Jin finally arrived at the mine with 1,200 soldiers under his command.

Li Ling observed his words, and he found that the soldiers all showed anger when they saw the corpses on the ground, and these people did not look like murderers.

"Your Excellency Governor, all the 1,200 people in the Thousand Households in Jingdezhen are all there, please check!" Wu Jin took a step forward and handed the roster to Xiao Hachi, looking calm.

Hachi was not polite, he took the roster and began to roll call.

Sweat appeared on the faces of Wei Zhong and Cheng Yuan, and if Li Ling found out that there was a problem with the soldiers, it would be difficult for them to get involved.

If Li Ling finds out that the garrison in Jingdezhen is the murderer of the miners, he is afraid that all the officials in Jingdezhen will not escape responsibility.

Hachi ignored the others, and he walked to the middle of the mine clearing and shouted.

"Zhang San!".

"To!".

"Li Si!".

"To!".

Whoever agrees to his name will stand on the other side of the clearing, and if there is any omission in it, it will definitely be discovered.

The roster in Hachi's hand was turned over page by page, and the soldiers walked out in an orderly manner.

There was no mistake!

In less than half an hour, Hachi finished reading the names on the roster.

Li Ling's judgment was not correct, it was not the local garrison that slaughtered the miners!

"Wujin, this is your jurisdiction, and it is also your fault that thieves slaughtered the people, you can take someone to bury the miner's body and go back to the station!"

Li Ling suddenly felt bored, and a bleak feeling came to his heart.

He did not find out who the real killer was.

If it's the robbers, not the military, who are behind the mines, it's just a local matter!

The sweat on Cheng Yuan's face flowed out, he was not capable of supervising such a big case.

"Hachi, you let people guard the intersection of the mine and wait for the people from the imperial court to come and take over the mine!"

Li Ling gave the order to protect the mine.

According to the Great Ming Law, all gold mines are owned by the state.

Li Ling returned to Jingdezhen with dozens of cavalry escorts.

Cheng Yuan also followed Li Ling and left.

Wei Zhong stayed at the end on the grounds of catching up with Wu Jin, he quietly walked to Wu Jin's side and reprimanded: "You are too careless, after this incident, the court will inevitably take back the gold mine, you have ruined the prince's big business!" ”。

Wei Zhong is a sixth-grade official, but Wujin, a thousand households, is a fifth-grade official, Wei Zhong actually reprimanded him!

Wu Jin was not annoyed by this, but responded cautiously: "My subordinates are guilty, and please say a few more kind words in front of the prince!" ”。

Wu Jin knew that he would definitely be punished for making such a big mistake, but fortunately, no one Li Ling found the mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise he would really be dead!

"You listen well, hide the other 1,000 people for me, don't show up until the Li Jiajun evacuates, in case you show your feet again, don't think about your head!" Wei Zhong scolded sharply.

It turned out that the number of soldiers in Jingdezhen Qianhu far exceeded the regulations of the imperial court, and Wujin only brought 1,200 people over, so naturally he would not be found out of the problem.

After Li Jiajun was stationed in the mine for a few days, the imperial court finally made a move, and hundreds of miners entered the mine and began to mine gold.

In order to protect the gold mines, the imperial court sent a few thousand men and horses to be stationed near the mines.

They were firmly nailed to Jingdezhen like a steel nail.

Coupled with the guards escorting gold along the way, the imperial court's layout of Jiangxi gradually unfolded!
