Because Erdong wanted to determine the nature of this matter as soon as possible, in case he would be implicated after the death of that miscellaneous disciple a few days later, Xiahou Heer was quickly taken to the Hall of Disciplined Disciplines to be punished.

The Hall of Discipline is an institution that is in charge of the internal management order of the Qingcheng faction and punishes the internal offenders.

Under Erdong's activities, he and Xiahou were sentenced to one month and three months of hard labor respectively for being injured in the same door, and underwent labor reform.

Now with such a punishment, in a few days, the miscellaneous disciple who was injured by Erdong will die, as long as he does some hands and feet on his corpse (this person he has already found a confidant and will help him do it then), and then move the relationship a little, that person's death will not involve him, and he will pass this level.

After the precept hall made a judgment on them, they were taken to Qingtie Mountain, where Erdong was to work as a coolie for a month, and Xiahou was to work as a coolie here for three months, and this was the difference between the people above.

Brought to the steward of Qingtie Mountain, he looked at their information and said to them: "Yo, there are two more Qingfeng Guan, you Qingfeng Guan people are really going to make trouble in the past two days, take them to the No. 9 Mine Cave, there happens to be an unlucky ghost sent yesterday." ”

After completing the handover, the disciples of the Discipline Hall who brought them back back, and Xiahou and Erdong followed a disciple from the Qingcheng Iron and Steel United Palace to the No. 9 Mine Cave.

Passing by the No. 1 Mine Cave, Xia Hou saw the situation here clearly, it turned out that the three-month coolie was to let them dig iron ore in the hole, and it was indeed a labor reform.

Soon, Xiahou and Erdong were taken to the No. 9 Mine, and the disciple who led the way said to the steward of the No. 9 Mine, and then left them here and went back by himself.

The steward looked down at the information sent to him, looked up at their appearance, and then said: "Your names are Xiahou and Erdong, and you are accused of beating up your fellow disciples, and you are punished with hard labor for three months and one month respectively, and you have too much energy and no place to vent, right?" You don't have so much energy when you come to me, and after completing the day's tasks, you still have the strength to eat, even if you are strong. From now on, you can mine with peace of mind, your task is to dig enough ten baskets of iron ore every day, and if you dig enough, it will be counted as one day, and if you don't dig enough, it will not be counted, and the total sentence will be added to one day. If you don't dig enough on the day, you will clear it no matter how much you dig, and start counting again the next day, you see. ”

Xia Hou looked around, there were not many people, but there was a black hole with the hole exposed on the mountainside, and a person with a big bamboo basket happened to come out at this time.

After coming out, he handed the large bamboo basket full of iron ore to the notekeeper next to him, and the notekeeper checked the quantity and quality of the iron ore in the big bamboo basket, and after passing the count, he made a note for him in today's roster.

After handing over the basket of iron ore, he picked up an empty bamboo basket and said hello to the people around him, and went down to the hole to dig iron ore again.

After reading their information, the steward continued: "Today is your first day of coming, and everyone else has been digging for a while, so you can choose to go down to the hole now, and if you dig ten baskets, even if you have gone through a day of hard labor. If you don't dig ten baskets, of course, you can also choose to rest today and familiarize yourself with the environment here, then today will not be counted as the day of your punishment for hard labor, we are all our own people, and we may meet again when we go out in the future, you can choose for yourself. ”

Erdong glanced at Xiahou, as if he was waiting for him to make a choice first, and then he would follow his choice.

Seeing that this is not an open-pit iron mine, but in the deep interior of the mountain, the mine cave is also bottomless, terrifyingly dark, and the cave looks at his faint eyes, Xia Hou thought that it might be a good place to kill people and destroy corpses.

In order to prepare, Xia Hou asked the manager in advance: "This senior brother in charge, is this mine safe?" Have there been landslides before? Has anyone gone missing or died unexpectedly in the mine? ”

"Don't worry, what you said has happened, but not much, and you can't see it a few times a year, and this No. 9 mine has not had a mining disaster for more than ten years, and it is very safe. Don't worry, it's normal to be scared for the first time when you enter this dark, closed, cold, and oppressive mine, just stay a few more days. If you are really scared, you can follow this Erdong brother who came with you, although it is not easy to dig enough iron ore, but you can take care of each other for the first time in the cave. Thinking that Xiahou was a person who was afraid of the dark and the confined environment, the steward comforted.

After listening to the steward's words, which was exactly what he wanted, Erdong left and agreed: "Okay, Xiahou, you don't have to be afraid, follow me, I will take good care of you, the mine is very safe." ”

Listening to his words, he felt that he was going to attack him, Xia Hou hesitated in his heart whether he wanted to agree, if he agreed, he would sneak attack and kill him again, would others doubt him?

Seeing Xia Hou's hesitation, he was afraid that he would not go in now, and after a while, the senior brother might come out and hand over the iron ore he had dug up, and then they would meet, and then Xia Hou would follow him to his side, wouldn't he have no chance to kill him.

Losing this opportunity, the two of them are likely to keep going down the cave together in the future, so it will be in vain to come here to work as a hard labor for a month, and nothing can be done.

Thinking of this, Erdong decided that he must let him go into the cave with him now, and he must kill him today, otherwise he and Senior Brother will meet tomorrow, not tonight, and he will probably have no chance in the future.

With this decision, Erdong said to the steward: "We will go down to the cave to mine now, and leave this ghost place one day earlier after serving hard labor." ”

Hearing him say this, Xia Hou immediately put forward the opposite opinion: "Senior Brother Erdong, you should go by yourself, I am tired today, I want to take a day off, and start mining tomorrow." ”

After listening to Xiahou's words, Er Dong scolded secretly in his heart, what kind of rule is this, we are here to be punished for hard labor, you actually let us choose whether to go down to the cave to mine or not, can this still achieve the purpose of punishment?

This is simply a vacation, dig if you want, rest when you want to rest, is there still a penalty effect on this? Is there still a strong level of regulation?

Seeing that Xiahou really refused to go, Erdong used his identity as a senior brother to hate the lesson that iron is not steel: "Xiahou, it's not the second senior brother who said you, you have to be serious, work hard, can't be cheating, can't waste time here, and waste your time." Today we will start mining, complete the task one day earlier, and go back to practice one day earlier. ”

Hearing this, Xia Hou pretended to be innocent and said: "Senior brother, I don't know martial arts, what kind of martial arts do I practice, I don't rush to go out one day earlier or one day later." ”

"Eh, you don't know martial arts, I'll teach you martial arts, now let's go down to the hole to mine." Erdong made a promise in order to let Xiahou go in to mine.
