Chapter Eighty-Six: Iron Mine

Back in the courtyard, Duanmu Shadow Xiao couldn't wait to see the letter in Mu Yanze's hand that came out of the county order study just now, and said, "Boss, when I just saw you come out of the county order study, you were holding a letter in your hand, that letter wouldn't be the evidence of Wu Liang and the county order of Zhangshui?" ”

Mu Yanze read his meaning from Duanmu Shadow Owl's expectant eyes, took out the letter from his cuff, and said, "As you reasoned, this letter is indeed evidence of the collusion between the Liangshui County Order and Wu Liang!" ”

Duanmu Shadow Owl opened the letter, and as soon as he swept the first line, he roughly understood the content of the letter: "There is an iron mine in the east of Shuishui City, I hope that the county commander can mine privately for the big boss, and afterwards, there will be heavy thanks!" Duanmu Shadow Owl said angrily: "The imperial court is not thin on these local officials, they collude with bandits privately, and try to swallow this mine privately, we can't just let him go!" ”

"The big boss in this letter doesn't want to use these iron ores to make weapons and rebel, right?" Duanmu Shadow Owl asked again. Mu Xianyu came to the small stool next to the table and sat down, took out the silver taels he had scraped, and counted them one by one!

Duanmu Shadow Owl walked over and picked up a silver ingot, and said, "When is it, you're still counting the money here!" Mu Xianyu snatched the silver from Duanmu Shadow Owl's hand and said: "This county government not only mines iron ore privately, but also collects the people's silver, I stole it from him, and naturally it will be returned to the people!" ”

"Really? Don't take it yourself! "Duanmu Shadow Owl doesn't believe Mu Xianyu's words, this guy usually hangs his son, and he definitely can't do anything good?!

"We've all been born and died for so many years, and you still can't believe me! Besides, my second prince, is there still so much money? Mu Xianyu quibbled.

Mu Yanze put the letter back in his sleeve and lay back on the small bed. Mu Xianyu looked at Mu Yanze's movements, as if this was a matter of course: "Hey! Feed! How can you occupy a bed alone? I'm your brother, you should let me sleep in the bed! ”

"Since ancient times, it was the elder brother who let the younger brother, second brother, you also learn from others, be kind to me!" Mu Yanze moved his body and closed his eyes!

Duanmu Shadow Owl lay back on the straw mat on the ground, leaving Mu Xianyu alone to sulk!

The next day, Mu Yanze got up early and caught two quails and three fish, returned to the kitchen in the courtyard, boiled a pot of quail porridge, and stewed the three fish! When he was done, he went and called them to get up and eat. As soon as Mu Yanze walked to the door of the house where Shen Zili and Ai Li lived, the door was opened from the inside, Shen Zili rubbed his eyes, and saw Mu Yanze standing in front of him.

"Good morning, why are you up so early?" Shen Zili stretched her waist and moved her body a little more before driving away the sleepiness! Mu Yanze said: "Go brush your teeth and wash your face, I cooked some quail porridge and fish soup, and ate some to fill my stomach!" ”

Shen Zili nodded and went to wash. Mu Yanze originally wanted to push the door in and call Elle again, but after thinking about it, this was a bit not good, so he knocked directly at the door, and Elle's lazy voice came from inside: "Mu Xianyu, you are a king!" Early in the morning, don't let people sleep?! ”

The corners of Mu Yanze's mouth twitched, where did the second brother provoke other girls, just scolding him with one mouth?! This hatred is not the other's hatred, this is something that must not be offended: "It's me, Mu Yanze!" Ellie, wake up for breakfast! ”

Mu Xianyu just got up, oh no, it was from the ground, and he sneezed! This must be some girl thinking about him, or he wouldn't have sneezed! (From the author's big complaint: Hehe, you are narcissistic!) οΌ‰

Afterwards, Mu Yanze went to call the eldest lady to get up again、、、、、

"Young man, you are really diligent, which girl marries you, it is really her blessing!" The eldest lady took a sip of Mu Yanze's stewed fish soup and praised it. Mu Yanze glanced at Shen Zili, Mu Xianyu smiled, and said, "Auntie, that girl is sitting next to you!" ”

The eldest lady looked at Ai Li who was sitting on her left, and Mu Xianyu said again: "It's not that eighth woman, Xiao Ze's vision is so high, how can he fall in love with her!" It's the one sitting to your right! Ellie narrowed her eyes, and the dangerous aura approached Mu Xianyu!

"It turned out to be Xiaoli, hahaha, you are really a good match, talented and beautiful, what a pair of beauties!" The eldest lady smiled. Shen Zili blushed when she was said, and her eyes unconsciously looked at Mu Yanze! Unfortunately, Mu Yanze was also looking at her, and Shen Zili looked at her as if she had done something unfortunate.

、、、、、、

After breakfast, Mu Yanze and Duanmu Shadow Owl found the iron mine according to the address on the letter, Mu Yanze and Duanmu Shadow Owl hid in the woods opposite the mine, just in time to clearly see that the workers were mining, and Wu Liang sent to take a very thick long whip to supervise the work!

Duanmu Shadow Owl's fists couldn't help but clench, watching the workers push carts of iron ore out of the mountains, and his heart was very uncomfortable! If the workers are slower, there will be an extra whip mark on their bodies! This dog official, so detaining the people, forced to come to the iron mine to mine, after mining, will definitely deal with these workers, in case the secret is leaked!

"Hurry up! You old immortal, do you want to eat at noon today?! "An old man of nearly sixty years old was carrying a basket of iron ore on his back, and he walked with great difficulty, and the overseer behind him was still whipping with a long whip!

The old man fell to the ground, his hand rested on a stone, and blood spilled out! And the overseer did not have a trace of sympathy, still whipped with a long whip, and some of the workers present couldn't stand it anymore, so they stopped it: "Don't fight, you can also kill an old man, and be inhumane!" ”

The man who spoke "snapped" angered the overseer, and the overseer called several people to restrain the man who spoke, and a hard fist fell on the strong man's face! The man's face was stubborn, and his eyes did not mean to give in!

The overseer punched the man several times before he ordered him to be taken and let go, and the man fell to the ground, glaring at the overseer with angry eyes! The overseer squatted down with interest, looked at the man, and said, "Like you, who likes to fight grievances for others, Lao Tzu has seen a lot, but there is no good end, and he can't protect himself, and he still wants to protect others?!" ”

The man went crazy and threw himself at the overseer, locking his throat, but he was quickly pulled open by the overseer's men! The overseer stood up from the ground, took a few deep breaths, and said loudly, "Drag him down and get rid of it!" ”

The subordinates understood, forcibly pulled the man to a remote and uninhabited place, pulled out the sword from his waist, and slowly approached the man! The man was so frightened that he stepped back, and his subordinates laughed very sinisterly: "Whoever made you offend someone who shouldn't be offended, don't blame us, we are also acting on orders!" ”

The knife was raised high above his head, and at the moment when he was about to fall, his hand was suddenly hit by a small stone, and the subordinate let go of his hand in pain, and the sword fell to the ground! The rest of the men vigilantly backed back to back, drew their swords from their waists, and looked around from side to side!

"Who?! Come out, in broad daylight, don't pretend to be a ghost!! The man who was hit by the stone said. Mu Yanze and Duanmu Shadow Owl walked out of the woods, and those subordinates immediately recognized them as the wanted criminals on the bulletin board!

"You! You, brothers, the second master said, whoever can catch the wanted criminals on the bulletin Lan will be rewarded! ”

Five of his subordinates rushed over with their swords, and Mu Yanze killed four of them with three moves, and the one who survived was also beaten by Mu Yanze and spit blood, Mu Yanze looked at him condescendingly, and said: "Go back and tell you that the second master, you want to arrest me, let him go back and practice for a few more years!" ”

The subordinate nodded hurriedly, and Duanmu Shadow Owl kicked the hand and roared, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Get lost! The subordinates got up from the ground and ran back in embarrassment to report the situation here to Wu Liang!

Mu Yanze walked up to the man and said, "It's a man, what's your name?" ”

"More of the life-saving grace of the two heroes, the villain's name is Song Ming, the two heroes should leave this place quickly, just let those men go, he will definitely go back to find helpers to catch you!" Song Mingdao.

"You come with us, I need your help with something very important!" Mu Yanze said calmly, Song Ming didn't know why, but he didn't ask, and followed Mu Yanze back to the courtyard where he lived temporarily.

"How did you get caught working as a miner? Also, why is that old man also carrying ore in the mine? Mu Yanze asked, Song Ming sighed, and said: "The county magistrate arrested some powerful and capable men everywhere a few days ago, but then he couldn't find a strong man, so he began to arrest middle-aged and elderly people in their forties and fifties, alas! I was on the street that day to buy some fabrics and go back to make clothes for my wife, but several officers and soldiers ran up and arrested me without saying a word! It's been so long, and I don't know what happened to my wife! ”

Mu Yanze continued to ask, "Do you know where they will ship these iron ores after mining?" Song Ming shook his head honestly and said, "I don't know about this, but I saw a man with a mask on his face a few days ago coming to the mine to check the progress of mining!" The two masters mentioned by the subordinates just now all have great respect for this masked man! ”

As if remembering something, Duanmu Shadow Owl said to Mu Yanze: "This masked man can't be the big boss who has never met before, right?" Mu Yanze nodded: "It's possible!" ”

"Grunt" Song Ming's stomach rang, and Song Ming smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry!" Mu Yanze asked Duanmu Yingxiao to go to the kitchen to serve Song Ming a bowl of porridge, and Song Ming devoured it!

"Don't those overseers take care of food?! Hungry like this! Duanmu Shadow Owl said indignantly, Song Ming swallowed the porridge, and then said: "It's about the rice, but they only care about lunch and dinner, and they generally don't have breakfast!" ”

"Didn't you go to the Chengdong Mine to collect evidence, why did you come back so soon?" Mu Xianyu walked in from the gate of the courtyard, followed by Shen Zili and Ai Li, all three of whom were holding a bunch of wild fruits in their hands!

"There is no evidence, but there is a witness!" Duanmu Shadow Owl's eyes motioned for Mu Xianyu to look at Song Ming. Mu Xianyu put the fruit on the table and said, "Little brother, what do you call it!" ”

"You are a friend of the two heroes, the villain's name is Song Ming!" Song Ming replied. Shen Zili held the fruit in her hand and said to Mu Yanze: "I'll wash some fruit for you to eat!" Mu Yanze's eyes became gentle, and he nodded with a smile.
