When Qiao Mianzhi found Tianling, it was already the next morning.

Looking at the heavenly spirit who was asleep on the tree, Qiao Mianzhi breathed a deep sigh of relief, fortunately, the little adult is fine.

The first thing Tianling did when he returned to Qingshui Town was to bring Luo Erniang and his wife over.

"Ruan Dan?" Tian Ling looked at the name on the booklet, "It's very beautiful, let's say, what have you been doing on the mountain all these years?" ”

"Ask the adults to call the shots for the small people!" Ruan Dan suddenly knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, "Xiaomin was originally a villager who guarded himself at the foot of Mi Mountain, and he didn't want to be forcibly taken up the mountain three years ago, digging holes and digging stones for them, and he couldn't get out!" ”

"Dig holes and dig stones?" A possibility appeared in the heart of the heavenly spirit, could it be······

"Yes, sir!" Ruan Dan looked sad and indignant, "If you resist, the light ones will be beaten and scolded, and the heavy ones will be directly stoned, in order not to make a disturbance, they let us start work at night every time, and tonight they will drive us into the hole as usual, but then directly fill the hole and pour water into the hole!" ”

"Your Excellency! The young people of our village have all been killed in the hole! More than 30 people, all dead······"

When Ruan Dan said this, his emotions completely collapsed, and the five-foot man cried.

At this time, Qiao Mianzhi nodded to the heavenly spirit, indicating that what Ruan Dan said was true.

"In other words, the rumored disaster of the Rolling Stone is completely an illusion created by those people, and its purpose is to hide people's eyes and ears and kidnap you to go up the mountain to work as coolies, and dig holes and stones for them." A trace of solemnity flashed across Heavenly Spirit's face, "What kind of stone are you digging?" What do they want these stones for? ”

"The little people don't know, they only let us dig according to their requirements, and after digging out, they won't let us know." Ruan Dan shook his head.

Tianling asked Ruan Dan some more questions, and then ordered him and Luo Erniang to take strict care.

"Little Haijiao, you go to Mishan with me." Heavenly Spirit said to Qiao Mianzhi.

"Don't go!" Lord Song stepped into the door and directly interrupted the heavenly spirit, "If you want to know something, let the guards go to inquire for you, you are not allowed to go in person!" ”

"Lord Song, don't worry, it'll be fine." Tianling smiled and comforted Song Qi.

"Can you not be worried?" Song rushed to Tianling, habitually wanting to give Tianling a brainstorm, but when he saw the tightly bandaged forehead closely, he was stunned, "What's wrong with the forehead?" ”

"What, I went to an eldest sister's house and begged for a bowl of water to drink and didn't give me money, and someone called it." Tianling saw that Song had a serious expression and made a naughty joke.

Song glared at Tianling angrily, and saw that he was still joking, so he was relieved.

"Did you offend someone in the palace?" What happened last night, the guards had already told Song just now, and it was obvious that the target of those people was Heavenly Spirit, which made Song very puzzled.

"Offending the people in the palace?" Tianling's little head tilted, "I'm afraid it's people outside the palace who will be offended this time." ”

"Outside the palace?" Song frowned.

"If my guess is correct, I'm afraid that the construction of the official road this time will hinder some people's path." Tianling brought Song a cup of tea, "Moisten your throat first, this matter is a long story." ”

Tianling told Song how he was knocked unconscious by Luo Erniang, what he saw on the top of Mishan Mountain, and Ruan Dan and other things.

"Ruan Dan and they dug holes and stones, what are they digging? It's worth covering up even if those people don't hesitate to kill people, which is why I want to go up the mountain again. Tianling paused, "Besides, there are dozens of corpses in the cave, so they have to be innocent." ”

"Then you won't be able to go up the mountain." Song Ke's expression gradually became serious, "This matter is very important, and you must return to Beijing immediately to play Your Majesty." ”

"Lord Song, since those people can occupy the next mountain without knowing it, and they can kill the young people of a village in order to hide from the sky and the sea, it must not be a simple role." Tianling shook his head, "Luo Erniang said that they have the identity brand of the official government, and last night when the middle-aged man did something to me, he said that he wanted to see what the person who said that His Majesty built the official road looked like, it can be seen that they know everything about the affairs of the court, but I am afraid that the person behind this is above the court." ”

"If you act so unscrupulously, you must rely on it."

"Your Majesty, you must know that we didn't catch the person opposite, and if it was just an old case, he wouldn't pay much attention." Tianling looked at Song but nodded approvingly, and couldn't help but smile, "But at this time, if we tell him that this mountain may be a mine, it will be different." ”

"Mines?" Song looked stunned.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be." Tianling nodded, "In order to make sure that nothing goes wrong, that's why I want to go and see it again." ”

Lord Song compromised at the insistence of Tianling, and Tianling couldn't resist Lord Song, who had to come with him, so Tianling, Song Qi, Qiao Mianzhi and the other three guards of Tianling went to Mishan again.

"Lord Song, don't worry, they have all withdrawn." Qiao Mianzhi investigated and replied.

"Take us straight to the entrance of the cave." Heavenly Spirit said to Qiao Mianzhi.

Qiao Mianzhi took them to the entrance of the cave, only to find that the entrance of the cave last night was actually blown up!

The log pillars and two-wheeled carts were all gone, except for a pile of rocks scattered at the entrance of the cave.

Tian Ling looked at the earth-red stone wall in front of him, and suddenly realized in his heart.

It's actually hematite! I see! No wonder!

"Xiao Haijiao, who is that middle-aged man?" Heavenly Spirit asked suddenly.

"If the subordinates are not mistaken, they are the staff of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion." After Qiao Mianzhi experienced last night's incident, she no longer regarded Tianling as a child in her heart, and when she saw that Tianling was so sure of asking, she no longer concealed it and told Tianling the facts.

"Left Phase?" Song had an incredulous look on his face, "Tianling has never even met him, what is he doing to Tianling?" ”

"Didn't meet, but got in his way." The Heavenly Spirit moved his gaze from the stone wall to the entrance of the cave, his expression was compassionate, and he understood everything at this time.

The reason why it took so much effort to turn this place into an empty mountain is because of the stone wall in front of you! Hematite!

What a fortune!

Three years ago, the person who found this place must be a person with great power, afraid that the huge mining would be discovered, and even more afraid of being discovered by the imperial court, so he fabricated a non-existent rolling stone to smash people, and arrested all the young and strong people in the village at the foot of the mountain on the mountain, and then first coerced, so that the remaining old and weak women and children were silent, did not dare to resist and did not dare to report to the official, and then lured, let them monitor each other and tell each other, and unknowingly turned the surrounding of Mishan into a deserted place.

Those young people are already dead in the eyes of outsiders, and those who die will naturally not cause any trouble, and then drive the young people to dig holes and mine at night, and if they are disobedient and resist, they will let fake death become real death!
