The housekeeper and the man who had come to report came to the mountain together, and the two of them looked at the silver mine and couldn't bear it. But the butler finally got scared and decided, "Go, call the people in the house out." ”

The subordinate knew that this was going to destroy the silver mine, but he was stunned for a moment, "Is it only called the people from the house?" ”

The housekeeper smacked his lips, "The miners found outside didn't grow up in the mansion, and I can't trust the master." Okay, go ahead, don't ask what you shouldn't, watch your tongue! ”

The subordinate trembled in his heart and hurried to find someone.

Liu Xuan is very cautious, and he doesn't leave a few people in the silver mine, so that he won't be found after being exposed one day. Therefore only one or two stewards were placed here, including this messenger, and the others were gone.

After the servant left, the butler's eyes narrowed, and his face became more and more cold. Suddenly, a man in black rushed behind him, "Steward, how is it now?" ”

The butler said grimly, "I don't want to see the people in this silver mine again, whether they live or die." ”

The man in black clenched his fists, "Obey." ”

Liu Xuan didn't intend to let anyone who knew about it survive in the first place, except for the housekeeper. The housekeeper has done too many pickled things with him for so many years, and he is not afraid of this person reporting at all, the two of them have long been grasshoppers on a vine. With the housekeeper there, he should also be much more relieved.

On the other hand, outsiders are not as good as family members, and the subordinates in the family are not as good as housekeepers who have followed him for decades. If only one person survives, that person can only be the housekeeper.

The butler looked at the silver mine with his hands behind his back and coldly, and from the outside he couldn't tell that it was a mine, at most he thought it was a cave. The front is sheltered by branches and vines, and only there is a small hole in the side for people to enter.

The man in black was all over the mine in an instant, but the miner still didn't know that he was still mining while wiping his sweat inside, just wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, "Why is it so hot today?" ”

They didn't know that there was a raging fire outside, but they only knew that after finishing today's work, they could get the money again, and they could go back to support their families and children. But they didn't expect that what they would face next would be a catastrophe.

The butler looked at the flames and felt very painful in his heart, as if the mountain of money belonged to him. But people are like this, he has been by Liu Xuan's side for a long time, and he is like family with each other. Seeing this loss, I was also very heartbroken, thinking that it was the loss of my family, and I wanted to go up and put out the flames.

But he only had a heartache for a moment, clenched his fists, looked at the flames, and his face slowly became calm, "It's all dealt with?" ”

"Clean. All of them are inside. ”

"Alright, let's go back."

The butler went back slowly with his hands behind his back, and he had to return to the master.

The flames were blazing, startling the birds that passed by, but no one could stop them, and the screams were buried in the mines.

When Gu Wen and his party arrived, they could only see the ruins of the silver mine. The reason why it can be judged that it is a silver mine is because there is some obvious silver in the ruins.

Xue Rou looked at all this in surprise, "How come?" When we came in the morning. It's all fine, such a big piece of fire, it's impossible not to see it. ”

Yuan Junfeng groaned, "I'm afraid I started later, I heard that Gu Wen was going to come to Chashan, so I burned the silver mine." It's not just burning, I'm afraid it also put explosives to blow up the mine. ”

They came with the Yuyun Army and searched all the way, but they only saw this destroyed silver mine, Gu Wen was a little disappointed in his heart, "I'm afraid it's a startle, otherwise I wouldn't have started so quickly." It's good now, is the clue that you finally found going to be gone? ”

Xue Rou shook her head, "Don't jump to conclusions so quickly, maybe there will be other evidence that it is not necessarily." ”

Gu Wen put his hands behind his back, and after being silent for two seconds, he suppressed his previous disappointment, and now he became calm, "Come on, go and dig up this ruin for me, I want to see what secrets are buried underneath." ”

Gu Wen bowed his hand to the leader of the Yuyun Army, "It's still troublesome that the Yuyun Army can also cooperate with Gu to dig together." ”

"It's nature."

Under Gu Wen's order, everyone began to dig this piece of ruins. Pieces of silver were dug out from time to time, and Xue Rou said distressedly, "If it weren't so ruined, at least a lot of silver could be produced." Alas, what a loss. What do you think? ”

Yuan Junfeng shook his head, "Their idea is very reasonable. Although he lost money, he saved his life. Rou'er, do you think that if the people who made official money privately are caught by His Majesty, what will be the consequences for them? ”

Maybe Renjun will save their lives, but the little emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, he is still young, and it is when he is in power and authority, once this kind of thing is known to him, the possibility of dying may be greater, so it is not necessary to take risks and destroy this silver mine.

"Master Gu, there is a discovery!" A soldier said suddenly.

Gu Wen hurried over, "What discovery?" ”

"I've dug up a corpse here." The little soldier said.

Gu Wen squatted down to look at it, and found that the corpse had been burned to black ashes, and he could hardly recognize what it looked like.

"My lord, I have found something here!"

"My lord, I have it here!"

For a while, everyone who was digging the ground screamed, and Gu Wen looked from the left to the right, and found a charred corpse, which looked particularly miserable. There were also a few that weren't very charred, but they were also dead and not breathing.

With so many corpses dug up and neatly placed in front of them, the smell of burning and the fear of the dead might make ordinary people turn pale, but today they were all soldiers, and they were not surprised by such a scene.

Even Xue Rou looked indifferent.

Only Gu Wen was half a literati present, and he only turned pale, and did not organize his pace, after he forcibly held back the nausea in his heart, he quickly gave an order, "Dig, continue to dig." See how many corpses are buried underneath? ”

He was extremely angry in his heart, how could anyone kill so many innocent people for his own benefit. How important is money in their hearts? For the sake of money, for the sake of profit, it is just a matter of deceiving the emperor. The most intolerable thing is that this place was originally a living life.

Gu Wen punched the tree next to him, but because he was a literati, not only did he fail to vent his anger, but instead caused bloodshot from the fingertips of his entire fist, he had no strength after all.

Xue Rou sighed, took medicine to help him stop the bleeding, and bandaged the wound, "Don't be too upset." ”

Gu Wen shook his head, "I just watched so many people die here and felt that I was incompetent." If I had driven earlier, I might have saved some people. ”

Xue Rou turned her head to look at the charred corpse in the place, and she couldn't bear it. Although she is used to seeing life and death, so many people stacked together, it still makes Xue Rou feel a little pain in her heart.

She pursed her lips and said, "These are probably miners, and they don't look like they are rich, if they are from the families of those officials, they will not be willing to let them die here in vain." Looking at their side, many people are still holding their hoes, I am afraid that they died while mining, and they do not know their fate, so they are gone. ”

She sighed, "It's definitely a leak of the rumors, someone is just killing people." ”

Yuan Junfeng clasped his hands, "This person is ruthless, he would rather set fire to the mountain than destroy all traces, he is not a good object." ”

Xue Rou shook her head, "Let's take a look at it again, maybe you can dig up something else." ”

She always had a little hope in her heart, maybe the servant of a high-ranking official accidentally dropped some token, although this possibility was almost none.

"Master Gu, I found another person here, it seems that he is still breathing!"

"What? Are there still living people? Gu Wen hurried over, a little expectant.

Xue Rou and Yuan Junfeng also walked over, and she took the lead in squatting down, "I'm a doctor, let me take a look." ”

The little soldier didn't know Xue Rou, and only looked at Gu Wen. Gu Wen said, "It's okay, Miss Xue is also a person trusted by His Majesty, you just have to rest assured that she will go to see it." ”

Only then did the little soldier get out of the way, Xue Rou squatted down, probed the person's pulse and breathing, and found that although it was weak, it was indeed there. The black ash on his face is not as much as that of others, and he may have been not far outside when the explosion and the mountain was burned, so what should he do when he came out, and he happened to avoid this catastrophe.

Xue Rou immediately said, "This person is still angry, I'll take it back to him for diagnosis and treatment first, if anything comes out, it will be our greatest help." ”

Living people are naturally much better than dead things.

Gu Wen agreed, "Miss Xue, please." ”

Xue Rou took out a pill from his arms and gave it to this person first, because his breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and he had to save his life first. Burns or something were secondary, but at that time the smoke was billowing and choking, and the poisonous fog was all in the nasal cavity, and it was black.

Xue Rou and Yuan Junfeng brought the person back to the house, so they rushed into the pharmacy, went to find medicine, and simmered soup for the person to drink. He asked his subordinates to fetch water to bathe him, and after washing, he saw this person's face, and he was a little delicate, and he looked like he was very innocent.

His eyes were closed, his lips pursed, and he looked scared, maybe he had seen the explosion with his own eyes.

Because the person had been asleep, Xue Rou had to help him treat his burns first, and then feed him medicinal soup when he was a little sober.

He opened his eyes wide, still with trepidation. Xue Rou's heart was sour, and she comforted softly, "Don't be afraid, we have already rescued you." This is a medicine that is good for you, and it must be drunk. ”

After a stalemate of two or three seconds, he finally nodded obediently, and just stretched out his hand, meaning that he wanted to drink the medicine.

Could it be that his throat was so thick that he couldn't speak? Xue Rou asked, "Can't you speak?" ”

His hand paused, then opened his mouth with difficulty, pointing to his own throat. Xue Rou fixed her eyes and saw that she had to be able to speak, it turned out that half of her tongue had been cut off!
