Next.

Wu Zhen took his father and mother and his daughter-in-law Xiuqin, who had just passed the door, to the royal city. The king attached great importance to Wu Zhen and rewarded him with a Bajin Shilang Mansion, which was enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

Ma Li naturally followed Uzhen to the royal city, and lived with Uzhen for the time being, waiting for the opportunity to rescue his father.

On the way to the royal city, Ma Li said to Wu Zhen: "In addition to rescuing my father this time, there is one more thing that my brother needs to help me do. ”

Wu Zhen smiled and responded: "We don't need to be polite between us, just say something." ”

Ma Li whispered mysteriously: "Our Ma family fled to the border between the Yongji Kingdom and the Changge Kingdom, guess what?" ”

"How?"

"I found a good vein there, but now there is a lack of start-up capital, if I have start-up capital, I can dig there, and the Ma family will definitely be able to revitalize."

Wu Zhen thought for a while, and said with some concern: "The place you are talking about is between two countries, so it belongs to the borderless land?" ”

"Exactly."

Wu Zhen calmly analyzed: "Then have you thought about it, since it is a borderless land and there are rich ore veins, why is there no one else to excavate?" Are you the only one who discovered this vein? I don't think it's that simple, you have to be careful. ”

Ma Li replied fearlessly, "Brother, don't worry, that vein is extremely hidden in the mountains and forests, as long as we act carefully, there will be absolutely no problem." ”

Seeing that Ma Cheng was in his chest, Wu Zhen didn't say anything more, with a complicated expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

……

Zong Wusheng and the two did not follow Wuzhen to Wangcheng, and early in the morning, the two hurriedly went to the Taierwa Coal Mine in Tengzhou with the approval written by Wuzhen to buy steel and carbon.

It's been almost a month since they came out, and they haven't found the whereabouts of Bai Gui and Chun Bao, not to mention, they haven't even bought a single car of steel carbon, so they must be in a hurry in Langzhou.

There were few pedestrians on the road, and the two of them galloped rapidly, and finally came to the Taierwa Coal Mine Station two hours later.

Zong Wusheng looked from afar, not far away was surrounded by a wooden fence, directly opposite there was a wooden gate, in front of the door stood straight more than a dozen soldiers with spears in their hands, they did not move.

"Who's coming?"

A soldier spotted the two of them, pointed his spear at them, and shouted a question. Wu Jia stepped forward and blocked in front of Zong Wusheng, and said loudly: "We are buying steel carbon, and we have the approval of Lord Shilang. ”

As he spoke, Wu Jia took the approval from Zong Wusheng's hand and shook it in front of the guards. The guard clearly saw that there was a squire seal at the check-in place, and his tone softened, "Please come with me, two of you." ”

The guards personally led them to a simple wooden house inside the coal mine and reported at the door: "The mine owner, a friend of Lord Shilang has come to buy steel carbon, and they have brought the approval of Lord Shilang. ”

A hearty voice came from inside, "Invite them in." ”

After the guards opened the door, they motioned for the two Zong Wusheng to enter by themselves, and after they entered, they gently closed the door and left.

Zong Wusheng entered the door, a thin middle-aged man, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and a face full of philistine, had already greeted him with a smile, and arched his hand: "Down is Li Gang, the owner of Taierwa Coal Mine, I don't know that the two distinguished guests have come from afar to lose their welcome, and they hope to atone for their sins." ”

Seeing that Li Gang was so polite, Zong Wusheng naturally had a mirror in his heart, it must be because they were friends of Wuzhen, if there was no such relationship, this copper-smelling Li Gang would definitely not have this face, so he also responded politely, "The mine owner is polite, we came to disturb." ”

"The two of you want to buy steel carbon, I don't know how much you need?"

Zong Wusheng handed the approval document to Li Gang, "We need two hundred truckloads of good steel carbon." ”

Li Gang took the approval document, pretended to check it carefully, and then showed embarrassment on his face, and said: "The two of you don't know, all the steel and carbon in our mine have been sold by the Ministry of Commerce, since Lord Shilang personally approved the document, I naturally can't let the two of you go home empty-handed, but these two hundred cars of steel and carbon are small but can't be the master, so you have to ask the Ministry of Commerce Lu Chun Shangshu." ”

"Can't you count the squire's approval?" Ujah asked coldly.

Li Gang responded politely: "Lord Shilang has just taken office, I don't know much about the local coal reserves, yesterday Zheng and Sheng Tingwei of Pilu State just transported 500 cars of steel carbon, and there are only 30 cars left in the mine, if you want to make up enough 200 cars, it will take 7 to 10 days." ”

Zong Wusheng's face was stunned when he heard this, thinking that Zheng Hesheng's coal was purchased from here, and he couldn't help but inquire more, "The country of Pilu actually asked for five hundred cars of steel carbon at once, what are they for?" ”

"This adult doesn't know that Zheng Hesheng's brother has opened a car-making base, planning to mass-produce in the next few days, saying that he is going to hold an order fair, but he even sent me an invitation, saying that he is going to go and observe."

As Li Gang spoke, he took a red invitation card from the bookcase and gave it to Zong Wusheng.

Zong Wusheng took it over curiously and took a closer look, but saw a few lines of small words written on it: Danzhou car manufacturing base will hold the first order meeting in January, and invite businessmen and vehicle enthusiasts from all over the world to visit and guide. The inscription is - Zheng Heyuan.

After reading it, Zong Wusheng felt a trace of anxiety in his heart, he didn't expect Zheng Heyuan to move so fast, he already had the conditions for building cars in large quantities in this month, and he would be able to hold an order meeting in a month, so if it went on, Langzhou would lag behind a lot.

Thinking of this, Zong Wusheng didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and said, "Since there are only thirty carts, then we will ask for these thirty carts first, and then come to disturb the mine owner." ”

"Since it's a friend of Lord Squire, it's naturally no problem, so I'll arrange it for you."

Li Gang personally took Zong Wusheng and the two to the coal bunker, and ordered someone to load thirty cars of steel carbon, and after Zong Wusheng handed over the golden ticket, thirty cars of steel and carbon chariots drove out of the Taierwa Coal Mine.

After Zong Wusheng said goodbye to Li Gang politely, he personally arranged the carriage walking route, and passed a letter to Tian Leizi, ordering him to wait halfway and escort Gangtan all the way to Shuangyu Village in Langzhou.

After everything was arranged, Uja had a heavy face on his face and said, "Alliance leader, I don't know if you noticed it just now?" ”

"Notice what?"

"As soon as I entered the door, I found that there was a waist pendant on Li Gang's bookcase, which was very familiar, and it seemed to be something that Boss Bai often hung on his waist."

Zong Wusheng's eyes suddenly glowed, and he hurriedly asked, "Can you see clearly?" ”

"Although I don't dare to be 100% sure, but it does look like Boss Bai's thing, alliance leader, do you say that Boss Bai will be locked up here?"

Zong Wusheng pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "We must not let go of any detail, we will find a way to go back and check it." ”

As he spoke, Zong Wusheng summoned the Heavenly Hanging Needle, drew the Heavenly Gate in front of him, and then walked in with Wu Jia.

……

Below the mine, in the 1,100-meter-deep coal production surface, it was dark here, and countless swarthy miners squatted on the ground, nibbling on dry hard bread, it was time to eat.

It has been a month since Bai Gui was arrested, and the high load of labor and the food that can barely fill his stomach have made him lose a lot of weight, and the original general's belly is completely gone.

Nibbling on the dry hard bread, Bai Gui wants to die, how could he have suffered like this before?

"Don't grind, get to work when you're full!"

The miner leader waved his whip and shouted at the miners. A miner stood up suddenly and said angrily: "I've only eaten a few bites and forced to work, are you still human?" ”

Seeing that someone finally came forward, a group of people angrily agreed:

"You are also from a peasant background, why are you so inconsiderate of us, you have to be dogs for them?"

"Horizontal and vertical are all dead, we fight with them!"

"Yes, fight!"

A group of miners threw away the hard buns that had not been eaten yet, and rushed forward with a roar. Seeing the miners rioting and chaotic, the miner's head blew the whistle in a panic, and a black crushing thug poured in behind him, holding a steel whip and smashing it.

The miners did not have enough to eat all day, and because of the fatigue of their work, they did not have much strength at all, and many of them were injured under the attack of a group of thugs.

The thugs are also very good at fighting, they do not hit the miners' vital points, and greet the miners' backs and thighs vigorously, so that the miners can suffer pain without delaying their work.

Seeing this wave of violence and chaos died down under the crazy blows of the thugs, a blue light suddenly appeared behind the thugs. Two people walked out of Lan Yingying's aperture, led by a white-faced scholar, and behind him were five big and three thick, completely reckless.

In the crowd, when Bai Gui saw the comer, his eyes overflowed with tears, and he suddenly shouted: "The alliance leader is here, we are saved-"

Zong Wusheng had just walked out of the Heavenly Gate, but when he saw a group of thugs brandishing steel whips beating the miners, he heard Bai Gui's shouting again, and immediately beckoned to Wu Jia and said, "Go on, save them quickly!" ”

Unequivocally, Ujah shot out with both fists like shooting stars, each punch taking the life of a thug. Zong Wusheng was not idle, he didn't use his soul power at all, he also punched one by one, and put thirty or fifty thugs to the ground in an instant, killing and injuring one by one.

Before the miners could recover from the shock, Bai Gui pushed away the crowd and rushed out from behind, came to Zong Wusheng and cried: "Alliance Leader, I thought I would never see you again, but I didn't expect that my Bai Gui should die, and finally waited for the Alliance Leader." ”

Zong Wusheng looked at Bai Gui in front of him, and when he saw him crying loudly at this time, not only did he not feel pity, but he felt very funny. He was a well-known businessman, but at this time he was tired under this mine, and he lost a lot of weight. The more Zong Wusheng looked at it, the more interesting he felt, and comforted him with a smile: "Boss Bai is suffering, hurry up and go out with me." ”

"Please take us away as well, we are not criminals, we are all framed by them."

"Help us."

When the miners saw that they were going to take Bai Gui away, they knelt down and begged for help.

Bai Gui also helped them speak at this time, and persuaded Zong Wusheng to say: "Alliance leader, these people are all framed, those you knocked down just now are the real criminals who are extremely evil, the alliance leader should find a way to take them away, maybe we can still use them in the future." ”

This proposal made Zong Wusheng a little tempted, and he also planned to contract a coal mine later, and they must be grateful to themselves for rescuing these miners. When the time comes, if the coal mine is really contracted, these are very good miners.
