The trade of coal, like salt, is controlled by the imperial court, how can it still flow into the hands of the people at will, isn't it ridiculous, in case someone has a black heart, and deliberately too high these inferior charcoal fire, then the final loss is not the people?

It seems that Chu Lingyi has to go there in person, "In this way, the princess will go back first, and this king and Liuyun will go back." Chu Lingyi held Mu Li's shoulders and let Mu Li stay in the mansion with peace of mind.

If it was before, Mu Li would definitely follow, but now the one in his stomach is important, obediently listen to Chu Lingyi's words, and wait for Chu Lingyi to return as soon as possible.

Before Chu Lingyi left, he also deliberately took care of Xiaohong, and he definitely couldn't let Mu Li eat cold food, so as not to hurt his body. If Mu Li is really bored, he can invite someone to come to the house as a guest.

Mu Li looked at Chu Lingyi's figure out of the house, don't be too greedy, but he also knows that the most important thing now is to protect himself and his children. In the future, there is an opportunity to go out with Chu Lingyi to handle the case, Mu Li simply closed the door, and he could be clean out of sight.

Chu Lingyi and Liuyun disguised themselves as ordinary people and entered Tuli Village, thinking about how to sneak into the mining field, but they happened to meet someone who recruited miners again. Mining is an extremely dangerous thing, and many family members go to mine in order to make more money, who knows that they will not return once they go.

"Let's go, we'll see."

The recruiter looked at Chu Lingyi's handsome face, and he was so thin and tender. "Go away, go away, get out of the way." This is disgusted that Chu Lingyi has no ability and can't do hard work.

"No, I'll go." Chu Lingyi rolled up his sleeves and showed off his muscles, and the foreman felt that he was looking away.

Chu Lingyi and Liuyun both signed up, it is very difficult to find a miner these days, since they are willing to come, the recruitment foreman will naturally accept it, at least how the work is done, we will have to see it later.

Chu Lingyi and Liuyun stood on the side for a long time, and it was only the two of them who came to sign up. It's strange, the price is so high, why no one comes.

The people next to him all pointed and said that Chu Lingyi and Liuyun were fools, and they would actually run to die. The recruitment foreman also deliberately drove them away, asking Chu Lingyi to ignore the words of others, and in order to keep Chu Lingyi, he immediately took out a silver ingot and gave it to Chu Lingyi.

"Come, brother, take it first, the matter is done, and there will be a reward."

Ordinary people will come to sign up when they see so many silver taels, but the people here are just looking.

It seems that their treatment of the miners is inconsistent with the silver ingots given to Chu Lingyi just now, but it is just to let Chu Lingyi stay. However, for Chu Lingyi, silver is not the most important thing, his purpose is to mix in and see if he is acting according to the standards of the imperial court.

"Okay, there are few people who come out when it's so cold, just the two of you." The foreman led Chu Lingyi and Liuyun to the ore field.

Chu Lingyi had heard of the hard work of the ore field for a long time, but when he saw it today, he realized their hard work, no one's clothes were complete, and it was really surprising that they were in tatters.

Even if they do, there are special people who keep an eye on them to work, and if anyone moves slower, they will have to be whipped, no wonder no one wants to come.

"What are you two looking at, and you don't keep up?"

Chu Lingyi just glanced at it one more time, and then was reprimanded. Liuyun stood up for Chu Lingyi, but Chu Lingyi stopped Liuyun and asked him not to cause trouble.

Chu Lingyi and Liuyun were taken to a small room, and many people were already imprisoned inside. It's here to make money, why lock it up.

Chu Lingyi asked more, "Big brother, when can the two of us go to work?" ”

"What's the hurry, I'll let you go." After saying that, he snatched the silver ingot that Fang had just given to Chu Lingyi.

It turns out that these people are liars, and if there is any reward, it is just bluffing. Now that he has arrived at someone else's territory, Chu Lingyi can only follow their way, so as not to startle the snake.

After Chu Lingyi waited for the man to leave, he asked the people who were locked in together, only to know that they still had to conduct identity investigations, so as not to get involved in spies.

"Do you know how many days it will take?"

There is still Mu Li in the mansion waiting for Chu Lingyi to go back, if Chu Lingyi goes out for too long, I am afraid that Mu Li will be worried. Now that Mu Li is pregnant, it is inevitable that she will think more. Chu Lingyi had to fight to go back as soon as possible.

"Not necessarily, some will start work on a day or two, and some will start work as soon as they come, depending on them."

Isn't it just mining, how can it be so rigorous? Chu Lingyi had to think of a way to go to the scene as soon as possible to take a look, and by the way, to understand the situation.

The people who were imprisoned were all men they had deceived from other villages, and in the same situation as Chu Lingyi, they first gave a large nail of silver, and then took it away.

"What do we do now?" Liuyun asked Chu Lingyi in a low voice, for fear that others would know their identity.

"Wait." Chu Lingyi thought that from the beginning to the present, there had been no mistakes, and if there was no accident, he would be able to go to the scene tomorrow.

In the distance, a person pulled a cart of dead people towards Chu Lingyi, and Chu Lingyi couldn't help but feel a chill behind him when he saw several corpses stuck together.

What's going on, how could there be so many dead people. Chu Lingyi didn't dare to ask more, for fear that someone would hear, so he could only grit his teeth and look at the carload of dead people in front of him.

One of the people who was imprisoned together asked Chu Lingyi not to look at it, "Keep your head down, otherwise you will be next." ”

Sure enough, except for Chu Lingyi and Liuyun, the others all lowered their heads. Chu Lingyi asked softly, "Why do you want to bow your head?" ”

After the car of dead people passed, the man answered Chu Lingyi's question. He looked east and west, "If you don't bow your head, you will be beaten." ”

This is not a prison, even if it is a prison, it has to be interrogated according to the rules and regulations, and people will be beaten at every turn.

It stands to reason that the overseers here should be people sent by the imperial court, and Chu Lingyi has not seen any of them since he came in, all of them are their own people.

How bold do you have to be to do illegal things under the nose of the imperial court.

"You, and you, come out."

Chu Lingyi thought it was to call someone else, but he didn't expect it to call him and Liuyun, so that Liuyun and the two of them could go out quickly.

"You two, change your clothes."

Chu Lingyi looked at it, and the clothes he changed were in tatters, but what they said could only be followed by them, after all, they had to investigate secretly. Chu Lingyi and Liuyun quickly changed into their clothes, only to see that their original clothes were taken away by them, I am afraid that they should go to exchange for money.

Someone saw that Chu Lingyi's eyes were not clean, and immediately whipped up and hit Chu Lingyi's back, Liuyun immediately protected him, who knew that the person directly pulled Liuyun aside and beat him to death.

"Oh, the newcomer is not sensible, why are you bothering, how difficult it is to find someone now."

Chu Lingyi almost made a move, but fortunately, someone came to persuade him, but he was not a good person at first glance.
